The exasperated Yamato Nocang Brigade began a large-scale pursuit.

Platoon Leader Ye Tianshi saw that the Japanese devils not only didn't stop, but intensified their pursuit.

He immediately reported to Lin Fan via radio.

Battalion Commander Hou Ziping watched enviously as Lin Fan could hear the report from three miles away through the microphone.

The Special Operations Brigade was too extravagant.

Yesterday, they bought five pigs, and everyone had meat in the morning.

Even the laborers received the same treatment, and white rice was guaranteed.

If his troops could eat like this for a month, their combat effectiveness would be greatly enhanced.

Battalion Commander Hou had no doubt about this!

After receiving Ye Tianshi's report, Lin Fan said to Gu Xiuming and Battalion Commander Hou:

"The pursuing Japanese devils are a brigade, and we have just annihilated one of their infantry companies.

Now the Japanese devils have more than seven hundred left.

Find a location to ambush them and wipe out this brigade."

When Hou Ziping heard Lin Fan say "wipe out," he thought of the recent annihilation of a Japanese company.

It would take a battalion of Sichuan soldiers to defend against one Japanese company.

To completely annihilate them would probably require a regiment.

Now he heard that Lin Fan had only a company, plus his own battered battalion.

With fewer than five hundred soldiers in total, they wanted to wipe out seven hundred Japanese devils.

Battalion Commander Hou was about to speak.

When Company Commander Gu Xiuming spoke first: "I'll take a platoon to outflank them from the side.

Just like before, we'll block the Japanese devils' retreat."

Lin Fan nodded: "Good!

Battalion Commander Hou, your troops will cooperate with the Third Platoon to block the Japanese devils,

The Second Platoon will attack from the left, and there's a river on the right. If the Japanese devils want to go into the water,

let them."

Lin Fan wanted the Sichuan soldiers from Hou Ziping's battalion to join in, just to let these soldiers experience the feeling of victory.

He always believed that a team must have spirit!

Spirit is the most important combat power of a team.

The Sichuan Army was now a team with a spirit of bravery.

Let them win battles, continuously win battles, and this team would become even stronger.

Now Battalion Commander Hou Ziping had a blind worship for Lin Fan and the people of the Special Operations Brigade.

Whatever they decided must be correct.

The soldiers of the Sichuan Army had the same understanding.

Ever since the people of the Special Operations Brigade blew up the Japanese devils' tanks, they no longer felt suffocated by the Japanese devils' oppression.

Especially last night, breaking through from Teng County, although the battle was very fierce.

They hadn't suffered too many casualties.

This was simply unimaginable in the past.

The Special Operations Brigade was a righteous team, and these were brothers worth associating with!

They were the first to fight, and everyone got a share of the spoils!

Now they heard that the Special Operations Brigade was going to lead everyone to fight another big battle: ambushing a Japanese brigade that was chasing them.

These Sichuan soldiers, who thought they would die in the battle in Teng County, didn't complain at all.

They immediately began to take action.

Lin Fan's plan was very simple: this was Panlong River, and the Third Platoon would lead the Third Company of the Third Battalion to ambush the Japanese devils on the south bank.

The Second Platoon would lead the Second Company to ambush on the west side, and the First Platoon would lead the First Company to lie in ambush on the north bank.

The First Platoon needed to rush out of their ambush only after the battle started.

Cutting off the Japanese devils' retreat.

The Second Platoon was the same, needing to rush out of their ambush only after the battle started.

This required them to be buried far enough away from the battlefield to avoid being discovered by the Japanese devils.

The Third Platoon's ambush location was one kilometer from Panlong River.

There was a small mound here, which could be considered a high ground.

The artillery platoon of the Special Operations Brigade was set up here.

This time, Lin Fan deployed all the captured artillery.

There were a total of fourteen infantry guns and twenty-four mortars.

After crossing Panlong River, it was all open ground with a very good view.

It was not suitable for ambushes or setting directional mines.

Now Lin Fan had decided not to use bombs, but to use artillery shells directly.

The combat troops were going to fight, and the wounded and laborers in front all stopped.

It wasn't like they had nothing to do either.

Lin Fan had already ordered: set up camp and cook.

They killed five pigs in the morning, and there would be meat for lunch.

The people in front were idle anyway, since they were going to ambush the Japanese devils later.

Cook!

When the battle behind was over, the food would be ready.

Lin Fan coordinated everything very well.

In order not to expose their target, the Third Platoon was ambushed in the wheat fields on both sides of the road.

There were no trenches or fortifications dug at all.

This was completely a guerrilla warfare tactic.

Hou Ziping and the others were very familiar with this kind of combat method.

It was just that they used to do it during the civil war in Sichuan.

And at that time, all warlords' troops were not allowed to hide in the crops.

Otherwise, they would be the public enemy of all the warlords, people, and gentry.

It was also forbidden to waste crops during battles.

This was the consensus of all Sichuan troops.

Therefore, when the Special Operations Brigade asked them to hide in the wheat fields, these soldiers were still a little resistant.

But with the Third Platoon's demonstration, they could only follow along.

Captain Nakayama Shinichi commanded his troops and advanced cautiously.

The fate of Saburo Yamamoto's company shocked the entire Yamato Nocang Brigade.

They now realized, "The one who is tracking is not necessarily the prey, but may also be the hunter."

Along the way, they had encountered several good terrains suitable for ambushes.

In those places, Captain Nakayama Shinichi patiently sent a small team to scout the way first.

After confirming that there was no ambush, he allowed the entire company to pass quickly.

Fifty meters behind his company, the entire brigade followed.

In fact, fifty meters was almost the same as no distance.

This was the change made by Brigade Commander Yamato Nocang after learning the lesson of the annihilation of Saburo Yamamoto's company.

He believed that Saburo Yamamoto's company was too far away from the entire brigade, which allowed the Sichuan army to take advantage of it.

Now he concentrated the entire brigade together, so that those Sichuan soldiers who were running away would have nowhere to strike.

Brigade Commander Yamato Nocang did not believe that any team could repel his brigade in one fell swoop.

Not to mention that not far behind his brigade, the entire 39th Regiment was marching in this direction.

Captain Nakayama Shinichi was looking at the Panlong River Bridge.

Brigade Commander Yamato Nocang was also observing the situation ahead.

When a large army crosses a river or a bridge, it is most vulnerable to attack.

If the Sichuan army blew up the bridge while they were crossing the river.

They could surround a brigade separately on both sides of the Panlong River.

Making a strategy of dividing and annihilating them.

But now both sides of the Panlong River were very flat.

If the Sichuan army really had an ambush, it would definitely be discovered.

Captain Nakayama Shinichi had the same idea.

Even so, he ordered the entire company to speed up and pass through here.

Brigade Commander Yamato Nocang also issued the same order.

When commanding troops, one should try to avoid unexpected situations as much as possible.

They passed the Panlong River safely and quietly.

The Japanese devils of the entire Yamato Nocang Brigade seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the brigade commander didn't say it, the Japanese devils of the entire brigade still felt the tense atmosphere.

Now it should be time to relax.

Captain Nakayama Shinichi led his troops, always opening the way in front.

There was a small hill two hundred meters to the left of their advance.

Captain Nakayama Shinichi carefully observed for a while.

Still feeling uneasy.

He ordered: "Squad Leader Tochia Naoya, you go and take a look!"

Lin Fan saw that the Japanese devils had not yet entered the planned ambush position.

They all stopped.

The Japanese devils of the entire Yamato Ricang Brigade all stopped.

The thirteen Japanese devils of Tochia Naoya's squad were coming to the artillery position of the Special Operations Brigade.

Lin Fan had clearly seen that Captain Nakayama Shinichi was pointing in this direction.

If Tochia Naoya's squad really came over like this, when crossing the wheat field.

They would definitely discover the Third Platoon and the Third Company ambushed in the wheat field.

It seemed that these Japanese devils had learned their lesson.

Lin Fan no longer hesitated, and readjusted the angles of these cannons.

He ordered: "Artillery! Fire!"

Third Platoon Leader Ye Tianshi nervously watched the dozen or so Japanese devils walking towards the wheat field.

These Japanese devils were getting closer and closer.

"What to do?" If they opened fire at this time, the large group of Japanese devils would not have entered the ambush circle.

If they didn't open fire!

These Japanese devils would soon discover these soldiers lurking in the wheat field.

The Japanese devils had not entered the ambush circle, which was equivalent to this battle.

Changing from a sneak attack to an open attack.

Neither side had fortifications or bunkers, and the Special Operations Brigade's terrain advantage would be gone.

Just when Ye Tianshi didn't know what choice to make.

A large wave of artillery shells exploded in the middle of the Japanese devils' ranks.

"Fire!" Ye Tianshi did not hesitate.

These soldiers ambushed in the wheat field had long been aiming at the thirteen Japanese devils who were walking over.

As soon as the platoon leader gave the order, everyone fired immediately.

Squad Leader Tochia Naoya was walking in the green wheat field, and he had been paying attention only to the small hill in front.

Just when these dozen or so Japanese devils had just stepped into the wheat field.

Strings of fire suddenly flew from the top of the small hill, accompanied by deafening sounds.

Just as these Japanese devils of Tochia Naoya's squad were stunned.

The attack from the wheat field followed.

The thirteen Japanese devils of the entire Tochia Naoya's squad did not struggle at all.

They fell headfirst into the wheat field.

Captain Nakayama Shinichi saw the artillery shells flying from the hill he had been watching.

And heard the harsh whistling of the artillery shells piercing the air.

He loudly ordered: "Lie down! Lie down!"

Brigade Commander Yamato Nocang also discovered the location where the artillery shells were fired.

He loudly ordered: "Grenade launchers, mortars, infantry guns! Return fire!

Return fire!"

He saw that Captain Nakayama Shinichi was lying on the ground, trying to avoid the artillery shell bombardment.

He immediately ordered: "Everyone, charge towards the Sichuan army's artillery position!"

Captain Nakayama Shinichi heard the sound of artillery shells exploding behind him.

And the sound of grenade launchers returning fire from within the brigade.

Seeing Brigade Commander Yamato Nocang's command sword pointing towards the small hill that was still firing artillery shells.

He lay on the ground and loudly ordered: "Charge! Charge!"

They had just seen the artillery shells flying, and also saw the bullets fired from the wheat field annihilating Tochia Naoya's squad.

Now these Japanese devils immediately charged towards the wheat field.

Brigade Commander Yamato Nocang overestimated the breakthrough ability of his brigade and underestimated the power of the artillery shells on the opposite hill.

The bombardment of more than thirty artillery shells caused heavy casualties to the entire brigade at once.

After three rounds of artillery shell bombardment, more than half of his brigade had been casualties.

The Japanese devils of Nakayama Shinichi's company could no longer stand up after lying down.

The flying shrapnel in the air, they could clearly hear those things whistling over their heads while lying on the ground.

If they stood up, those randomly flying fragments would definitely hit their bodies.

A dozen brave Japanese devils had just stood up and charged less than five steps.

They fell headfirst to the ground again.

The Yamato Nocang Brigade was following behind.

Most of the Japanese devils finally succumbed to reality, and they had to crawl down.

Crawling forward like this, trying to escape this heavily bombarded area.

Those grenade launchers, mortars, and infantry guns that had just counterattacked hastily.

Were instantly completely destroyed in the subsequent key strikes.

The long-range heavy firepower of the Yamato Nocang Brigade was destroyed,

They no longer had the ability to fight back.

These Japanese devils lying on the ground kept crawling towards the wheat field.

Platoon Leader Feng Ruili led the First Platoon, lurking far away on the north bank of the Panlong River.

The sound of artillery was the order.

As soon as the artillery fire bombardment commanded by Lin Fan started.

Feng Ruili and the others began to charge.

Second Platoon Leader Qian Tianyou also did not delay, and started charging as soon as the artillery fire sounded.

The Japanese devils of the Yamato Nocang Brigade were still unclear about their situation.

They were still struggling to support themselves, crawling towards the artillery position five hundred meters away.

Brigade Commander Yamato Nocang now knew that there was a Sichuan army ambush in the wheat field.

Now they had to break free from the artillery fire bombardment first.

Then they would consider how to pass through the wheat field.

Ye Tianshi, who was lurking in the wheat field, watched the Japanese devils crawling forward.

There were still two hundred meters left, and it was not yet time to shoot.

The figure of the Second Platoon could already be seen on the left.

The bombardment had been going on for three minutes, and the Yamato Nocang Brigade had not been able to break free from the artillery fire of the Special Operations Brigade.

The movement of the Sichuan army was discovered on the left and rear sides.

This made Brigade Commander Yamato Nocang, who was still under the artillery fire bombardment, a little flustered.

He knew that he had fallen into the encirclement of the Sichuan army.

Although there were not many troops in the Sichuan army in both directions.

But the Yamato Nocang Brigade was now suffering heavy losses, and the numbers were decreasing every minute.

The current strength ratio was already at a disadvantage.

In order to end the battle as soon as possible, Lin Fan had not stopped the artillery fire bombardment.

He saw that the First Platoon had crossed the Panlong Bridge and set foot on the south bank.

And had blocked the Panlong Bridge.

The Second Platoon had long rushed to the edge of the artillery fire bombardment and was ready to charge at any time.

Hou Ziping's Third Battalion was acting with several platoons of the Special Operations Brigade.

All along, they had only seen the Japanese devils use such fierce artillery fire to bombard themselves.

When had they ever seen their side bombard the Japanese devils like this?

Hou Ziping said with emotion to Company Commander Cheng Xiuming:

"Company Commander Gu! With such artillery, even the most powerful Japanese devils will not survive."

Gu Xiuming said with a smile: "That's for sure.

Don't look at us having dozens of cannons now.

In fact, when we first arrived in Teng County, we only had five mortars, two infantry guns, and one anti-aircraft gun.

Most of the cannons fired today were sent by the Japanese devils these days.

See?

This brigade of Japanese devils also sent two infantry guns and several mortars.

They are very rich, rushing over with both cannons and shells."

Battalion Commander Hou Ziping also saw those cannons and said enviously:

"Can these cannons be given to us?"

Company Commander Gu said: "The battalion commander has to ask the brigade commander about this."

While they were talking, the bombardment of the artillery platoon finally stopped.

Gu Xiuming loudly ordered: "Charge!"

Qian Tianyou was also ordering: "Charge!"

The artillery shell bombardment finally stopped.

Brigade Commander Yamato Nocang stood up again.

Seeing hundreds of Sichuan soldiers rushing over from behind and on the left.

There was still no movement in the wheat field in front!

"What to do?" Brigade Commander Yamato Nocang was anxious.

The best way at the moment was to turn back and charge towards Canglong Bridge.

As long as they crossed the bridge and defended it, they could calmly wait for the support of the entire regiment.

In an instant, Brigade Commander Yamato Nocang finally made a decision.

The command sword in his hand no longer pointed towards the artillery position of the Special Operations Brigade.

This time he changed direction, pointing at Panlong Bridge.

He loudly ordered: "Charge!

Take Panlong Bridge!"

Those Japanese devils who had already rushed out immediately began to turn around.

They had all been charging towards the artillery position just now.

Although they had not rushed into the wheat field, they were not far from the Third Platoon lurking in the wheat field.

These Japanese devils had just stood up, and before they could take a step after turning around.

The torrential attack of the Third Platoon had already come.

The Third Platoon and the Third Company of the Sichuan Army had been waiting too long in the wheat field.

They had been staring at the every move of these Japanese devils.

Originally, Platoon Leader Ye Tianshi was going to wait for these Japanese devils to get closer before firing.

Seeing that the Japanese devils had given up halfway, if they didn't fire at this time, the Japanese devils would run even further.

These Japanese devils of Nakayama Shinichi's company had already been bombed to pieces by the artillery shells.

Now they were swept by the rain of bullets fired from behind.

The Japanese devils of the entire Nakayama Shinichi's company were all frightened out of their wits.

Not one of them turned back to fight.

They only cared about running as fast as they could towards the large group at the head of Panlong Bridge.

Although the Japanese devils of Nakayama Shinichi's company were only fifty meters away from the Yamato Nocang Brigade behind them.

This also made the Japanese devils afraid.

If the entire brigade broke through the Sichuan army's defense line guarding the bridgehead, and these Japanese devils were too slow and blocked again.

The consequences would be disastrous! Captain Nakayama Shinichi knew this.

Although his company at this time had no more than a squad of Japanese devils.

Captain Nakayama Shinichi still wanted to try to save it.

The Yamato Nocang Brigade, originally the last to stay behind was the more than one hundred Japanese devils of the logistics company.

These Japanese devils were leading mules and horses, driving carts.

In the iron cannon fire bombardment just now, all the mules and horses were killed.

Now the brigade commander asked the rear team to become the front team to charge.

These logistics soldiers had to hold their rifles and charge towards the First Platoon.

Feng Ruili and the others pushed two homemade tanks and fiercely swept these Japanese devils who dared to charge.

The distance between the two sides was less than one hundred meters.

These Japanese devils of the supply column, led by Hayato Funeami, had mustered all their courage to launch the charge.

As a result, they were subjected to fierce machine-gun fire from the opposite side just less than ten meters after rushing out.

This wasn't the end.

The First Platoon not only had heavy machine guns, they also had light machine guns.

The Sichuan Army's First Company, which acted with the First Platoon, was also equipped with light machine guns.

The Special Operations Brigade now had sufficient weapon reserves.

All the Sichuan soldiers had been re-equipped.

The dense rain of bullets knocked the Funeami column to the ground at the first opportunity.

Brigade Commander Yamato Nocang also knew that the supply column had no combat effectiveness.

He didn't care that this company was lying on the ground pretending to be dead.

He just ordered the infantry company to rush up quickly.

Replacing the charging position.

The company that turned from the rear team to the front team was the Hideki Nanajo Company.

This company was originally in front of the supply team.

Now that the entire team had turned around, they were behind the supply team.

Seeing that the supply team was so stretched, Captain Hideki Nanajo immediately led the Japanese devils under his command to rush up.

Just during this one minute they were delayed.

Platoon Leader Feng Ruili had led the soldiers into the Japanese devils' ranks.

Heavy machine guns and light machine guns at this time, after firing all the bullets in the magazine.

They were no longer useful.

In close combat, the bayonet was the best weapon at this time.

For Battalion Commander Hou Ziping and these Sichuan soldiers, the broadsword was the best weapon at this time.

The broadsword was what they had been carrying on their backs since they left Sichuan.

Fighting the Japanese devils, being able to rush up close and use a broadsword to kill was what these Sichuan men liked to do the most.

This was because they could not compete with the Japanese devils in terms of firepower.

Only by rushing up close, with both sides entangled together.

The Japanese devils' machine guns and cannons would not work.

Only then would both sides be on an equal footing.

Now these Sichuan men had not suffered any casualties in the previous charge.

At this time, they were of course even more heroic when killing the Japanese devils.

Their broadswords slashed at the heads of the Japanese devils.

Company Commander Gu, Platoon Leader Feng and other officers and soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade used bayonets to stab the Japanese devils in the chest.

Battalion Commander Hou Ziping, in the midst of his busy schedule, still saw the soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade.

A group of three, stabbing the Japanese devils.

Single Japanese devils often fell in one round.

Even if the Japanese devils were also in groups of three, they were no match for the soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade when fighting.

The First Platoon was in close combat with the Japanese devils, and the Second Platoon also rushed in.

Soon the Third Platoon also rushed closer.

The Japanese devils of Nakayama Shinichi's company finally caught up with the pace of the entire brigade.

What made them happy was that the entire brigade had not yet started crossing Panlong Bridge.

What also made Captain Nakayama Shinichi sad was that the entire brigade had not yet started crossing Panlong Bridge.

And Captain Kureyama Shinichi had a bad feeling: the entire brigade would not be able to cross Panlong Bridge today.

This company, which had finally gathered together with the entire large group.

Had to turn around again and fight the Third Platoon chasing from behind.

Half an hour ago, they were chasing them.

Now the roles had completely changed, and the Sichuan army was chasing the Japanese devils.

The Yamato Nocang Brigade, which had been bombarded by artillery fire, did not have as many people as the Special Operations Brigade now.

After being swept by machine guns from three directions and suffering casualties again.

The gap between the numbers of the two sides was further widened.

The bayonet fight had just begun, and in less than ten minutes.

The entire Yamato Nocang Brigade was wiped out.

Battalion Commander Hou Ziping carefully asked Lin Fan, who had arrived on the battlefield:

"Brigade Commander Lin! Can these two infantry guns be given to our battalion?"

Lin Fan said with a smile: "Yes!"

"Can these mortars be given to our battalion?"

"Yes!"

Lin Fan considerately asked: "Battalion Commander Hou, do you have artillerymen under your command?"

Hou Ziping quickly said: "Not now, but we will when we return to the army."

Lin Fan said with a smile: "The soldiers in our artillery platoon have good skills.

Battalion Commander Hou can send some people to learn from them."

The skills of those soldiers in the artillery platoon were more than just good?

Hou Ziping had just seen with his own eyes that whether it was a mortar or a Type 92 infantry gun.

When bombing the Japanese devils, they all exploded in the middle of the Japanese devils' ranks.

He of course knew how difficult this was to do.

At least no one in the entire 122nd Division could do it.

Zhu Shaoshen, Long Fei, and the other laborers received Liu Zifu's order:

To drive mule carts and wheelbarrows over to clean up the spoils.

The artillery shell bombardment just now killed more than twenty mules and horses.

These mules and horses would be the meat for everyone in the next few days.

There were a lot of laborers this time, and they only left a few people to cook.

Everyone else ran over.

Lin Fan was very satisfied with these laborers.

They were very satisfied as long as they ate the same food as everyone else.

With more than three hundred laborers helping, cleaning up the battlefield was much faster.

Although there were more than seven hundred Japanese devils' corpses on the battlefield.

There were also more than eight hundred Special Operations Brigade soldiers, Sichuan Army soldiers, and laborers here.

One person cleaning up one corpse was a very fast action.

Long Fei and the others were quick with those mules and horses lying on the ground.

The farmers had all seen butchers slaughter pigs.

Who hadn't helped the butcher?

Now these mules and horses were equivalent to pigs that had already been bled.

They only needed to be deboned and the entrails cleaned up.

Several people dealt with one, cooperating.

In less than twenty minutes, the entire battlefield had been cleaned up.

The Third Platoon could not leave at this time.

They had to guard the head of Panlong Bridge.

Preventing more Japanese devils from coming over.

The artillery platoon also did not leave, waiting behind the small hill.

Lunch was already cooked.

The pork had all been cut out and they had started stir-frying.

There were suddenly so many more dishes.

The mule's liver and lungs were washed clean in Panlong River.

A wheelbarrow was specially sent back.

This was to send back more dishes.

Stir-fried horse lungs and boiled liver soup did not take much time.

They could be made quickly.

It was not until 3:30 in the afternoon that the second brigade sent by the Numata Takakazo Regiment reached the place where the Yamamoto Saburo Company had been annihilated.

Battalion Commander Inoue Yuto immediately sent the newly encountered situation to the regimental commander.

His brigade continued to advance, crossing Panlong Bridge.

Looking at the white corpses all over the ground, although these corpses did not have a trace of clothing on them.

The Japanese devils of the Inoue Yuto Brigade could still recognize them:

This was the entire Yamato Nocang Brigade.

"An entire brigade was completely annihilated, and not one Japanese devil escaped to report the news!"

This scene made Battalion Commander Inoue Yuto break out in a cold sweat.

Although he believed that the Sichuan army that had encircled and annihilated the Yamato Nocang Brigade should have left by now.

But he still ordered the entire brigade to immediately prepare for battle.

Searching all around at the same time.

The entire brigade stopped advancing.

Collecting the corpses of these Japanese devils of the Yamato Nocang Brigade on the ground.

At the same time, he sent a signal soldier to immediately pass this unfortunate news to Regimental Commander Numata Takakazo.

Battalion Commander Inoue Yuto did not want to continue advancing this time.

He must wait for the entire regiment to catch up before continuing to move.

It was obvious that the Yamato Nocang Brigade was ambushed by the Sichuan army because they were too reckless.

But before this, which Japanese devil commander could have imagined that in such a short period of time.

The Sichuan army could completely annihilate an elite Japanese infantry brigade.

At this time, the news of the fall of Teng County and the martyrdom of Division Commander Wang Mingzhang had spread to Lincheng.

Teng County Magistrate Zhou Tong said on the morning of the 18th, after the last resisting Sichuan army unit was eliminated by the Japanese devils: "Since the war of resistance, there have only been martyred generals, not local officials who have died in the line of duty. I am willing to set this precedent."

The deeds of County Magistrate Zhou Tong also spread to Lincheng at the same time.

Lincheng was already in chaos at this time.

All along, the Fifth War Zone had focused on defending Teng County, and had not built a second line of defense behind Teng County.

Knowing that Teng County had fallen, Lincheng was thirty-two kilometers away from Teng County.

The Japanese devils could arrive in one day.

At the headquarters of the 22nd Army Group in Teng County, the troops of the Tang Enbo Corps that had arrived early.

They all began to retreat.

When Lin Fan led a team of 1,500 people into Lincheng.

The entire city was already just an empty city.

When the National Army retreated from Lincheng, the people knew that Teng County had fallen.

The Japanese devils had launched a massacre in Teng County.

The people also fled out of the city.

Lin Fan led his team to the Lincheng Railway Station.

Ordering Gu Xiuming to start building a defense line.

To prepare for the upcoming attack by the Japanese devils.

What Lin Fan did not expect was that when the National Army retreated from Lincheng, they had destroyed the railways and highways.

Trains could not be sent over.

The Special Operations Brigade could now retreat along the railway line towards Zaozhuang.

Without trains, these wounded soldiers could only be escorted by laborers.

Lin Fan first paid today's wages, one yuan per person.

Then he told them about the current situation.

At this time, the Special Operations Brigade had just started making dinner.

The officers and soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade would have eaten the meat they had captured at noon long ago.

Teaching the laborers how to make barbecue.

Anyone can make barbecue with one look.

These people did not pay attention to whether the meat was old or tender.

They only considered whether they could eat it!

Barbecue was the most expensive in meat.

These people could eat at least half a kilogram at a time.

These laborers saw that the people of the Special Operations Brigade did not stop them from wasting meat like this.

Although they were not allowed to eat as much as they wanted, they were given a piece of raw meat weighing half a kilogram.

Letting each person barbecue it.

However, in this way, there would be no meat dishes for dinner, which were changed to stewed mule intestines, horse stomachs, lungs, and livers.

For everyone, these were all meat, weren't they?

More than a thousand people, each holding a piece of raw meat weighing half a kilogram, were barbecuing.

Battalion Commander Hou Ziping looked at Lin Fan, who was also holding a large lump of raw meat in his hand.

Like ordinary soldiers, he stuck the meat on a stick and slowly roasted it over the fire.

After roasting it, he smeared a little salt on it and took a bite.

The taste was so delicious.

These officers and soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade had long been accustomed to a life where they had meat every day.

The Sichuan soldiers and laborers had eaten meat three times a day.

It was simply like living in a dream.

The people from Longjia Village gathered together to discuss: "Should we go back tomorrow morning?"

Lin Fan had just paid today's wages.

And agreed that these people could leave if they wanted to go back.

Long Fei took a bite of the barbecue in his hand.

After eating it, he said: "I'm not in a hurry to go back, one yuan a day.

The officer pays every day, and doesn't owe anything.

Where can you find such a good thing?

Even if I don't care about this one yuan, I don't want to leave the three meals a day with meat."

Long Hu said: "I'm not leaving either!

I helped cut so much meat today.

I have to eat all this meat before I leave.

Otherwise, I'll lose out!"

At 5:30 in the afternoon, Regimental Commander Numata Takakazo finally arrived at Panlong River.

Looking at the corpses of those Japanese devils of the Yamato Nocang Brigade that had been cleaned up.

He ordered: "Advance five miles and camp!"

Behind them, the Japanese devils of the entire Isogu Renjie Division were advancing in this direction.

It was just that their engineers were still repairing the railway.

At the military meeting in the evening, Regimental Commander Numata Takakazo ordered:

"The entire regiment will depart at six o'clock tomorrow morning.

The distance between each brigade must not exceed five hundred meters."

The entire regiment gathered together, so they were afraid of the National Army's attack.

Regimental Commander Numata Takakazo did not believe that the National Army now had the ability to defeat his regiment in one fell swoop.

Nothing happened overnight.

The Special Operations Brigade, a team of 1,500 people, had breakfast at 5:30 in the morning.

At six o'clock, the entire team began to set off towards Zaozhuang.

Along the way, Lin Fan asked the laborers to dismantle the rails again.

Continuously dismantling five hundred meters of track.

Only then did he stop.

After resting well for a night, the team marched much faster today.

They did not arrive in Zaozhuang until four o'clock in the afternoon.

The wounded were immediately sent to the rear.

Deputy Battalion Commander Hou Ziping led the Third Battalion to find the 22nd Army Group, where they were to be assigned.

Only the hundreds of people from Longjia Village and Zhu Shaoshen and the other laborers were left.

After receiving their wages.

Lin Fan asked with a smile: "How many of you are willing to stay?"

Along the way, these people from Longjia Village had thought about this question over and over again many times.

Hearing Lin Fan's question, someone immediately said: "Officer! There are parents and wives and children at home.

It's not that we don't want to contribute to the war of resistance, it's just that we can't leave home!"

Lin Fan said with a smile: "These past two days, everyone has been contributing to the war of resistance with every step they take.

We will never stop those who want to go home."

Only then did the people from Longjia Village feel relieved.

Although the officer had reached an agreement with the village head, at this place.

If people didn't recognize it, what could they do to these people with guns in their hands?

Lin Fan said: "Those who are willing to stay go to the left, and those who want to go back go to the right."

He counted, and there were one hundred and fifty people in Longjia Village who were willing to stay.

Lin Fan said with a smile: "According to the agreement with Village Head Long, two people share one gun, one hundred bullets.

Seventy-five guns, seven thousand five hundred bullets.

You one hundred people who are going back must keep them safe.
