At 4:30 pm, the Japanese and puppet troops waiting to receive the grain transport team in Shoucheng County in Chihe Town. When they saw that the grain transport team had not appeared yet, they couldn't hold back. They searched and advanced along the Pingtai Highway towards Shoucheng County.

The Japanese and puppet troops left Chihe Town about ten miles away. Six special forces members were scattered in semicircles in six places, opening fire at the Japanese and puppet troops traveling on the highway.

The members of the sniper team were all top experts, with bullets shot at a distance of more than 200 meters. In an instant, more than 20 Japanese and puppet troops were killed, most of them were officers and machine gunners.

The special forces members were not interested in fighting. Each of them fired all five bullets in their guns, jumped onto the war horse and rushed towards Taohua Mountain in the northwest direction of the trap.

The attacked Japanese and puppet troops lay on the ground and made a ping-pong trick, only then did they find that the attacker had already escaped.

The Japanese officer was killed immediately, and only one Chief Cao was left in the Japanese army. He did not dare to continue searching forward, and lay there for half an hour before forcing several security troops to check the situation of the grain transport team.

Not long after, the security forces sent to investigate came back to report that the bodies of the Japanese military police and police in Shoucheng County were found in front of him, and the food had been stolen.

The Japanese Chief Cao didn't know where the food was transported to? Even if he knew, he wouldn't dare to pursue it. Just the precise shooting skills of several attackers just now were already scared of him.

He had no choice but to let his subordinates carry more than twenty corpses back to Tai'an City to report. As for the corpses of those people from Shoucheng County, they would notify the Shoucheng County Military Police to transport them back by themselves.

Li San rode his horse and fled towards Shoucheng County. Seeing that the brothers behind him could not keep up with him with their legs, he slowed down his horse speed.

At this moment, the police squadron leader fled with the remaining policemen. When they saw Li San and others, they did not slow down and ran forward desperately.

Li San couldn't help but call the police squadron leader, and he shouted: "Captain Niu, why are you doing so fast?"

Captain Niu of the police said anxiously: "The food has been stolen. I want to rush back to report to Captain Hirata."

Li San said, "You are stupid! Have you ever shot those people just now? Look at the gun that was accurate. Three Taijuns were killed by one shot. How powerful is the machine gun!

Most of these people are from Taohua Mountain. If they robbed the food, they would definitely transport it back to Taohua. You are in a hurry to report it. Taijun Pingtian sent us to grab the food back. Wouldn't we ask us to die?"

Captain Niu was not stupid either. He immediately slowed down when he heard this. Then, he simply sat on the side of the road and rested. He said, "It's not that I don't want to report, I really can't run anymore."

Seeing that Captain Niu stopped and couldn't leave, Li San jumped off the horse and came to Captain Niu and sat down.

He handed Captain Niu a cigarette and said, "Captain Niu, we don't have to worry about the food being lost. This is the territory of Tai'an. If something happens, it is Tai'an who is mainly responsible for Tai'an. What are we going to worry about?"

Captain Niu threw away the food. He was worried about taking responsibility, so he rushed back and reported to Captain Pingtian. After hearing what Li San said, he suddenly reacted.

He said happily, "Yes! Why didn't I expect it?! It's true that the food was stolen from Tai'an territory, so we have to find an explanation to Tai'an."

Li San said: "Although that's the case, we are responsible for transporting grain after all, and we have to have some responsibility. We have to discuss a word and report to Hirata Taijun after we go back."

Captain Niu smiled knowingly and said, "The Taijun who came with us died, and it will be much easier to talk about after he goes back. Let's make up the topic carefully, how can we make up the conversation?"

Captain Pingtian received the report, and he was really amused and crying. He really calculated that this batch of food was really kidnapped by Gao Jiu and the others on the peach blossoms.

Fortunately, the location of the accident was not in Shoucheng County, so he had no direct responsibility. He wrote a report, and based on the situation provided by Li San and police captain Niu, the report said: "The Shoucheng County Gendarmerie transported 100,000 kilograms of grain, which was safe and sound in Shoucheng County. It entered Tai'an and was attacked by a large number of anti-Japanese armed forces.

An officer and two soldiers of our military police team were killed, and the security forces and police forces also suffered heavy casualties. I hope the person responsible for investigating this incident will give me an explanation to the Shoucheng County Military Police Team.”

He pushed everything completely.

Tai'an went back to report their attack to the Japanese and puppet troops responsible for picking up the grain transport team. Yamamoto's garrison helped the Japanese military police headquarters to send troops to support them, and lost more than a dozen officers and soldiers for no reason. They were very dissatisfied and questioned Tai'an military police headquarters and asked them to give an explanation.

The Tai'an Military Police Command was also amused and crying. Now others blamed them, and they didn't know who to blame?

In this way, with the help of Liu Shengyu and others, the Taohuashan guerrillas easily won 100,000 kilograms of grain.

The TV series "Bright Sword" once mentioned an iron triangle in northwest Shanxi: the three regiments of Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie of the Eighth Route Army cooperated with each other to form a regional joint combat system.

Gao Jiu also wants to build an iron triangle now.

Gao Jiu is in Taohua Mountain, with Jiang Xiaomei's independent battalion to the northwest and Wang Jindong's 792nd Regiment to the southwest. According to the speed of the marching of the large army, the interval between the triangles is more than two days. If these three can be closely coordinated, a regional joint combat system can be formed.

Gao Jiu's Taohua Mountain Guerrillas have strong combat power and can become a solid fulcrum of the triangle.

Wang Jindong's 792nd Regiment is leaning against the back, with sufficient soldiers and food, and can also become a solid fulcrum of the triangle.

The weakest one is Jiang Xiaomei’s independent camp. Gao Jiu decided to vigorously assist the independent camp so that they can become strong as soon as possible and become a solid fulcrum of the Iron Triangle.

Shangzhuangzi Base Area.

After the Shoucheng County Brigade was reorganized into an independent battalion, it added more than 30 old Eighth Route Army members rescued by Gao Jiu from prisoners of war, and the troops had begun to go towards regularization. The process of regularization was first reflected in the uniforms of the unified Eighth Route Army.

Jiang Xiaomei wore a tailor-made Eighth Route Army uniform and looked more and more heroic.

At this moment, the Independent Battalion is holding a meeting of cadres above the platoon. Jiang Xiaomei, wearing a new military uniform, looks gloomy, and the cadres of the Independent Battalion are also full of grief and anger. The sacrifices of 27 commanders and fighters including Zhang Jiawang in the third company and one row made the atmosphere of the entire Independent Battalion feel very depressed.
