Sun Yongan had not received any news from the mountains at this time, and he didn't know if this was done by Taohua Mountain. However, when he heard that it was the Japanese army attacking on the road, he must have been led by the boss in his heart.

However, he dared not express his opinions on this matter casually. Even if he knew it was really done by Taohuashan, he could not say it. He said, "I don't know about this matter yet."

Li San said: "Our team leader said that if you did it, he would have covered it up for you as much as possible. However, this matter is too big and the Japanese will not give up. I hope you can turn the Japanese attention to other places and find someone to take the blame."

Sun Yongan said: "I'll contact the mountains and bring your words to the boss."

After saying that, he picked up a box of shoe polish and handed it to Li San.

Li San made a move to pay. Sun Yongan smiled and said, "It is appropriate to respect the superior."

Li San also smiled and said, "No, sensible." After that, he left with a smile. The Japanese and puppet troops bullied the common people, and it was normal not to buy things but not pay for them.

After Li San left, Sun Yongan sent Ma Erbao back to the village and reported to the boss what Li San provided.

Ma Erbao is the little bandit who just hopes to be full. Now he can eat every meal. His face is no longer as black and yellow as before, and his body is much stronger than before. He immediately left the city and headed straight for Taohua Mountain.

Gao Han received a report from Ma Erbao, and it was noon the next day. He understood what Liu Shengyu meant, and he didn't want the Japanese army to investigate Taohua Mountain, so he decided to attack again and attack the Japanese army again from Taohua Mountain, attracting the attention of the Japanese army to the anti-Japanese armed forces in other regions.

Gao Han decided to go on the spot to inspect the terrain and other surrounding situations first so as to choose a preset battlefield.

So he took Guo Hengming, Jia Liu, Tian Chuan, Li Chengwu and other team members, dressed up as puppet troops and went to Pingyue County for investigation.

In the occupied area where the Japanese army was heavily deployed, a Japanese squad was wiped out and a large amount of medical equipment and medicines were lost. This was amazing news. Although the Japanese army deliberately blocked the news, the news was revealed from different channels.

The news first came from those who saw burning Japanese military vehicles on the road.

The Japanese army was very cruel. The news that the people often heard was bad news such as where the Japanese army killed people today, where they raped the ** girl, and where they slaughtered the village.

The news that the Japanese were destroyed quickly blew across the land of southern Shandong like the spring breeze. The people who were bullied by the Japanese invaders made a big sigh of anger, just as happy as drinking ice water during the dog days. They spread the news from word of mouth. At the beginning, they saw that the Japanese were destroyed, and they didn't know how many Japanese were destroyed. According to their speculation, they casually said a number. With the transmission of people, people kept adding fuel to their own imaginations, from annihilated more than a dozen Japanese people to dozens. In the end, the more evil the Japanese were spread, and the number of Japanese people was destroyed had reached hundreds.

This great news, of course, attracted the attention of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. They reported to their superiors in their own different ways.

GCD is more cautious and did not publicly publish your views on this matter before the investigation was made clear.

In order to boost the confidence of the anti-Japanese military and civilians, the gmd released the news first. Based on the number of military vehicles burned, the number of people who were annihilated by the Japanese army should be dozens. They took the lead in the "Central Daily" to publish the news under the title "Fire behind Enemy". The report said that a certain national movement in the southern Shandong area of ​​the Kuomintang annihilated the Japanese army, annihilated more than 100 enemies, and burned four Japanese military vehicles.

It is understandable to facilitate such publicity. What is needed at this moment is to encourage the morale of the anti-Japanese military and civilians. As for who did the matter, it doesn’t matter how many enemies were annihilated.

Media from the rear reprinted the news, and even foreign media in the occupied areas reported on the matter.

Since the war started, the front battlefield has been retreating step by step. Except for the Eighth Route Army who successfully attacked the Japanese army in Pingxingguan and other places, it was basically bad news. There was a sense of failure all over the country. This good news from the occupied areas suddenly caused an uproar, greatly encouraging the fighting spirit of the anti-Japanese military and civilians to fight against the Japanese invaders.

The Japanese army was in a very embarrassing situation. The Japanese base camp ordered the Japanese troops in Shandong to investigate the matter strictly and ensure that the underground anti-Japanese armed forces attacking the Japanese army must be eliminated.

Ayumi Hamasaki received a telegram, and the words on it were very harsh, asking him to find the underground anti-Japanese armed forces as soon as possible and eliminate them. For this reason, a Japanese army with a strengthening squadron was specially sent to cooperate with his actions.

Gao Han didn't know all this, and at this time, he was walking between the mountains and fields.

After a day and night of march, Gao Han and others had entered Pingyue County, and after passing Qingfeng Mountain in front, they arrived at the plain area.

On the Qingfeng Mountain, the green eyes are full of green and the breeze is refreshing.

Gao Han asked Jia Liu to take out a military map seized from Japanese officers and compare it with the terrain on the spot.

The Japanese invaders had been planning to annex China for a long time. Long before the full war began, their spies had already drawn a large number of maps of China. The military maps of southern Shandong region they drew were very detailed, which was much more accurate than those printed by the National Government of Shandong Province.

When they saw the boss checking the map, the team members were very curious and surrounded them to watch. These guys were just watching the fun, even the Chinese map, they couldn't understand it, let alone the Japanese words with twists and turns on it?

Among these people, Jia Liu is the one who is most familiar with Gao Han. The recent changes of the boss are almost unrecognizable. Now he sees that the boss can actually understand Japanese maps, and his awe for Gao Han has added a lot.

After reading the map, Gao Han said, "There is Zhangjiazhuang 15 miles ahead, and the 12 miles ahead of Zhangjiazhuang is the road from Jinan to Zhengzhou."

The team members were not educated. The unit of measurement they used to describe distance was the li, so Gao Han also followed the flow and quay was cited according to the li.

Gao Han did not miss any opportunity to improve the team members' knowledge level. He compared the icons on the map and explained the relevant knowledge about viewing the map.

Guo Hengming said: "The master of the situation, the Jizheng Highway is in the plains. Without the protection of mountains, this battle is not easy to fight."

Gao Han nodded and said, "You make sense, so we have to conduct a spot investigation and choose a preset position that is convenient for ambushing the Japanese army and can retreat quickly."

Everyone rested on Qingfeng Mountain for a while, went down the mountain, and walked towards Zhangjiazhuang.

Gao Han's body has been modified and his body is particularly strong, but there is also something that makes him uncomfortable, that is, his body temperature is slightly higher than that of ordinary people and he is not afraid of the cold, but when it comes to high temperatures, it still makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

For example, now, they disguised themselves as puppet troops and might encounter Japanese troops on the way. Therefore, Gao Han also put on a Japanese uniform in the puppet troops' uniforms.

His body temperature was slightly high, and wearing two sets of clothes to march in the sun made him a little irritated.

However, he had a test and the hot environment in the kitchen had no effect on his body, just because he felt a little uncomfortable.

About 40 minutes later, Gao Han and others came to the vicinity of Zhangjiazhuang. Gao Han heard sporadic gunshots coming from afar.

He said: "If there is a situation, prepare for the fight."

Although the team members did not hear the gunshots, they trusted Gao Han, loaded bullets one by one, and prepared for the battle.

Outside Zhangjiazhuang, in a green wheat field, there is a dirt road about two meters wide. A few dozen meters away from the dirt road, there is a raised dirt slope covered with weeds and a small amount of shrubs. It should be a canal for irrigation.

At this moment, a carriage was parked on the dirt road, and two puppet troops were lying on the ground near the carriage. Eight other puppet troops were using the ridges as cover to shoot in the direction of the canal.

There was a group of people behind the canal. They were not wearing hats, and the clothes they wore exposed shoulders were of various colors. Due to the cover of grass and shrubs, Gao Han could not see clearly the specific number of people.

Judging from the situation at the scene, it was probably those who were ambushing in the canal that wanted to attack the puppet troops on the dirt road, but the two sides fought to the scene.

Judging from the situation on the battlefield, there are many attackers, but their equipment is behind. Although the number of puppet soldiers is small, they are well-trained and well-equipped, and they have firmly gained the upper hand.

Gao Han saw that the puppet troops were alternately covering and slowly moving towards the canal. Once they entered the distance of bomb dropping and threw grenades at the attackers, the attackers would inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and the result of the battle could be imagined.

Gao Han’s judgment is basically accurate.

Jiang Xiaomei's mother's mother's family is from Zhangjiazhuang. After she returned to Zhangjiazhuang, she mobilized one of her cousins, two cousins, some long-term workers from her grandfather's family, and seven or eight young people in the village to form an anti-Japanese armed force.

At the beginning of the team, there were 19 people in total, one of which was made of Hanyang rifles, five bird guns, and some spears and big swords from the deserters of the National Army.

They sneaked into two passing puppet troops, seized two guns, and after tasted the sweetness, they lie behind the canal, preparing to ambush the passing puppet troops again. Unexpectedly, the team lacking training, because of their lack of experience, someone exposed the target in advance. After being discovered by the puppet troops, the two sides started a fight.

At the beginning of the battle, the guerrillas led by Jiang Xiaomei caught one of the puppet troops off guard because of the raid, killing and injuring one of the puppet troops.

After a brief panic, the puppet army found that the opponent's firepower was not strong, so they immediately launched a counterattack and quickly gained the upper hand.

Jiang Xiaomei and the guerrillas were suppressed in the canal, causing casualties to the two team members.

The weapons in the guerrillas were too poor. The only few team members holding rifles had a very poor marksmanship due to lack of training and extremely poor marksmanship. They could only scare the puppet troops, which basically did not pose any threat.

Fortunately, the puppet troops were also cautious, so the two sides formed a stalemate.

Slowly, the puppet soldiers saw the opponent's weakness, so they used firepower to suppress the opponent and slowly advanced forward, preparing to advance to a distance suitable for bomb dropping, and used grenades to defeat the attackers on the opposite side.

As the puppet soldiers approached step by step, many of the team members were already in a panic. A timid team member panicked, threw down the big knife in his hand, jumped up and was about to escape. As a result, his body became the target of the puppet soldiers. He was shot in the back and fell to the ground. The team members became even more panic.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Xiaomei said loudly: "Don't be afraid. We have a lot of people. When they rush up, we will definitely win."

Seeing that the team members were still a little scared, Jiang Xiaomei stared at her eyes and said, "You are all great men. I am not afraid of a woman. What are you afraid of?"

Seeing that Jiang Xiaomei was not afraid of danger and calm, the team members felt a little embarrassed, so they all mustered up the courage to persevere.

Although Gao Han didn't know who the attacker was, he must be an anti-Japanese armed force, so he decided to help. Seeing the critical situation on the battlefield, he ordered: "Go forward at full speed and eliminate the puppet troops."

The team members stepped apart and ran towards the battlefield.

The guerrillas hiding in the canal became even more panicked when they saw some puppet troops coming from a distance. Another team member threw away his spear, turned around and ran away, but was hit by the flying bullets and fell to the edge of the canal.

This kind of situation often occurs on the battlefield. The more afraid of death a person is, the more likely he is to die due to panic.

There is no intention to belittle these guerrillas here at all. It is normal for new recruits who are just on the battlefield to have this situation. Even troops that have been trained for a long time will also happen on the battlefield. After all, these guerrillas are ordinary people who have not been trained, and it is inevitable that some people with weak will will appear.

Every outstanding warrior grew up through the continuous training of war. With the continuous baptism of war, these team members will gradually grow into brave and strong warriors.

Seeing the team members suffering constant casualties, Jiang Xiaomei was furious. She threw away the rifle that had been completely bulleted in her hand, picked up a spear on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Fight with them."

Inspired by Jiang Xiaomei, the other team members also determined to die and were ready to fight the enemy to the death.

The puppet soldiers also saw Gao Han and others. They thought they had come to reinforcements and became bolder. They stopped crawling forward, stood up and charged forward with their waists. Some of the bold puppet soldiers even rushed forward with their bodies straight.

The squad leader of the puppet army was worried that the new puppet army would steal his credit, so he shouted loudly: "Run up and catch the living, the imperial army will receive a lot of rewards."

Now, the puppet soldiers became even more courageous. Most of them straightened their waists and rushed forward howling.
