    "Boom boom boom"

    Cannons were roaring, machine guns were roaring, and across the Yuanyang River, China and Japan were engaged in a fierce offensive and defensive battle.

    Since there was no time to build positions, the Eighth Route Army¡¯s only reliance was this small river that was more than 30 meters wide!

    Fortunately, they fought in time, pushed back the vanguard of the Japs, and blew up the small stone bridge on the Yuanyang River. Otherwise, they would not have been able to stop a large group of Japs soldiers and a regiment of puppet troops on the opposite side.

    Of course, the Eighth Route Army should thank God even more, because it happens to be between September and October, and there has just been widespread rainfall in southern Hebei in the past few days, causing the water in the Yuanyang River to surge. Otherwise, in normal times, the little devils would have been able to make it even without a boat.  Cross the river.

    But it didn't work today. The deepest part of the river was two to three meters deep, and the river was very fast. People would rush downstream quickly after entering, so the little devils could only build pontoons on the river, which gave the Eighth Route Army  A good opportunity to block.

    But the little devil was not stupid either. While the Japanese commander ordered people to search downstream for a place to cross the river, he also launched an attack on the Eighth Route Army on the other side of the river.

    At the same time, the little devil also got a few assault boats and kept transporting soldiers to the other side of the river!

    Since the Eighth Route Army did not have artillery, it did not attack the Japs in the river very hard. On the contrary, the Japs kept bombarding the Eighth Route Army's temporary positions with artillery. The first battalion suffered considerable losses.

    The two sides fought for about an hour, and about a squadron of infantry from the Japs had crossed the Yuanyang River. As a last resort, Liu Dezhi could only withdraw with his troops into Wuwangzhuang and continue to resist.

    Because both sides came suddenly and fought quickly, except for a small number of people in Zhuangzi who escaped, most of the people in Zhuangzi hid in their homes and did not dare to come out.

    Although Liu Dezhi had already asked people to tell the people in Zhuangzi to move quickly to avoid disaster.

    But the effect was mediocre. Just as Deputy Director Song of the Southern Hebei Administrative Office had worried before, the autumn harvest was about to begin. Many people had even received the grain at home, but because of the bad weather, they could not dry it and put it in the warehouse.  Hide well.

    Therefore, in order to protect their own food, many people did not care about other things and were unwilling to listen to the Eighth Route Army's escape.

    In their view, food is not only their own life, but also the only hope for the whole family to survive.  Once the food is lost, the entire cold winter is enough to push the whole family to desperation.

    As the battlefield progressed, the Japanese army soon surrounded the Eighth Route Army in Wuwangzhuang, and the two sides launched a bloody battle.

    Originally, Liu Dezhi and others were able to break through. With their familiarity with the terrain, getting rid of the little Japs was not a big problem.

    "But if they withdraw, the county town will be in danger. The eight-hour blocking mission has only lasted an hour and a half. If the main force of the group fails to complete the task, not only will they be unable to break out, but the people near the county town will also be in trouble.

    Secondly, the little devils have already targeted Wuwang Village. There are currently about three to four hundred people in the village. If Liu Dezhi and others withdraw, the little devils will definitely vent their anger on those people. After all, the Japanese troops also suffered losses in the river-crossing battle just now.  Hundreds of people.

    Although the casualties were not very large, this was still an unacceptable prisoner for the Japanese commander.

    ¡°And once the little devil is slapped in the face, he will return it without any scruples, and it has become normal to carry out bloody revenge on the Chinese people.

    Therefore, regardless of whether it was for public or private reasons, Liu Dezhi and others could not withdraw, and finally chose to stay.

    When more than 300 Eighth Route Army troops withdrew into Wuwangzhuang, their fate was actually sealed!

    Being surrounded by more than six or seven times the number of enemies in a small village without city wall protection, with weapons and equipment inferior to those of the enemy, ammunition not being sufficient, and no reinforcements, annihilation of the entire army seemed to be the only outcome.

    But even so, none of these Eighth Route Army soldiers retreated, and all of them died generously, one by one!

    "Perhaps these are heroes. They know that nothing can be done but still dare to face powerful enemies, because they know that the people standing behind them are unarmed fellow villagers, and because they are stepping on Chinese soil and have red faith in their hearts.

    Outside Wuwangzhuang, the Tanaka Battalion of the Japanese 27th Division has completed the encirclement!

    Its captain, Major Musaburo Tanaka, looked excitedly at Zhuangzi not far away, with a faint sarcastic smile on his cold face!

    "Mr. Ueda, do you know why the army in Zhuangzi didn't escape?" Major Tanaka said to the deputy commander of the brigade, Mr. Ueda.Wei asked.

    "I don't know much about this I don't know much about this humble position. It stands to reason that taking advantage of the favorable time when the imperial army encircled them just now, they can rush out through the weak position in the southeast of Zhuangzi. Especially there is a dense forest not far away. Once they rush in,  The chance of survival will be greatly increased, but those who supported/that person did not break through, it is really puzzling!" Captain Ueda said.

    "Haha, because those stupid Tubalu are caring about the lives of those farmers, so they would rather fight to the death than break through!"

    "Nani?"

    "Do you feel a little weird?"

    "Yes, sir, you also know that I have just been transferred to the battlefield and don't know much about the situation here!"

    "If you don't understand, you have to learn. You have to know that the living soil of Tubal Road is these hateful farmers, so they compare the relationship between them to fish and water!"

    "Fish and water?"

    "Yes, Tubal Road is a fish, and those branches/that farmer are water! Think about how difficult it is to catch fish when they enter the water! So in order to eliminate these Tubal Roads, the Imperial Japanese Army not only needs to fish  , but also to drain the water!"

    "Yo Xi, this is how it should be!"

    "In order to protect these farmers, these Tubal Road soldiers would often give up hope of escape and then fight to the death with the Imperial Japanese Army. Obviously the Eighth Road Commander opposite is such a person!"

    "Hai! Then sir, what should we do now?"

    "Haha, how can we let go of the meat delivered to our door? Give me the order, the first squadron and the first battalion of the Imperial Army Infantry will immediately form a team, and then launch an attack on Qianzhuang! Give them half an hour to attack Zhuangzi!" Tanaka  The major ordered in a deep voice.

    "Hai!"

    "At the same time, tell the soldiers under your command that all the people in Zhuangzi are staunch resisters. There is no need to care about military discipline when they invade Zhuangzi. Whether it is money, goods or girls, whoever grabs it belongs to whom!"

    "Hai!"

    And following Major Tanaka¡¯s order, the Japanese troops outside Zhuangzi burst into loud cheers, like the devil¡¯s grin!
