The Japanese troops who set up an ambush to block the Second Brigade also came lightly armed and did not carry too many heavy weapons.

The two armies met at night, and the Japanese army was unable to provide effective support.

Moreover, what the little Japanese were most afraid of was darkness, because they had no idea how many Chinese troops were coming.

In the dark night, there were gunshots and explosions all around.

Qin Dongsheng's second brigade was equipped with a large amount of Japanese equipment, and the Japanese army could not distinguish between their own people and the Chinese army.

The Second Brigade is the leading force of the First Military Division and has participated in almost all major battles between the First Military Division and the Japanese army.

He has already become proficient in fighting at night.

When a battalion of troops launched an attack from the rear and flanks of the Japanese army, Qin Dongsheng ordered the troops to press forward across the board and not give the Japanese army a chance to breathe.

The sound of gunfire echoed in the dark night, and the bullets were like meteors, flying past the eyes, flying into the wilderness, and disappearing into the sky.

Hand grenades exploded underfoot, and many Japanese positions were breached.

Positions continued to be lost, and the Japanese army's positions became increasingly chaotic. Especially the new recruits that the Japanese army had just added made it impossible to judge the battlefield situation.

When the battle started, the soldiers did not have the confidence to hold on, and the outcome of this battle was already decided.

Chinese soldiers kept coming from unexpected places. After the Japanese army was defeated, they were like headless flies.

A Japanese recruit rolled up ten Japanese soldiers and escaped, and ten Japanese soldiers rolled up a hundred.

Under attack from two sides, the Japanese army was unable to stop the Second Brigade's attack.

"Report to the brigade commander that we have broken through the Japanese army's position and are pursuing the defeated Japanese army with all our strength."

"Send the order and all units should stop pursuing. Our goal is to cut off the escape route on the Yuntuo River, not to defeat these Japanese troops."

Qin Dongsheng's advantage in fighting is that he is very clear about his goals.

He will never let some petty gains interfere with the overall situation of the army.

The collapse of the Japanese army is no longer a cause for concern, time is everything.

Although the troops of the Second Brigade and one regiment had bypassed the Japanese army and continued to advance, there was more than one way to retreat on the Yuntuo River.

The Japanese army responsible for blocking the attack was defeated, but the Chinese army that continued to advance and was ambushed still maintained an efficient marching formation.

Time, whether it is the First Military Division or the Japanese army, is racing against the Japanese army.

If the First Army Division wins, a large number of Japs will be blocked on the west bank of the Yuntuo River, unable to retreat. When other main forces arrive, the Japanese army will have no choice but to die.

But if the Japs beat time, they will cross the Yuntuo River and add more troops to the east bank of the Yuntuo River.

That night, the commanders of both sides were nervously waiting for news about their troops.

Gangcun was waiting for news that the Japanese troops had withdrawn across the Yuntuo River, and Zhao Zhiguo was waiting for news that the Second Brigade had successfully cut off the Japanese troops' retreat.

This night was destined to be an uneventful night.

When Chi Zishen watched the troops of the First Military Division passing through Xing County during the day, he had already guessed that Zhao Zhiguo was going to take action against the Japanese army.

"Chief of Staff Yao, what are you doing?"

Late at night, Chi Zishen couldn't sleep at all, because at this time Yao Pengju was like an evil star sitting in his brigade headquarters.

If you have done nothing wrong, you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.

But Chi Zishen knew very well how many bad things he had done, but at this time, something was wrong in his heart.

"Brigadier Chi, when you were in Pingcheng, as long as you promised to join us in the fight against Japan, I will tell you all our plans now. It's a pity that you didn't agree to anything."

Yao Pengju did not sleep, not because he felt uncomfortable sleeping next to Chi Zishen, but because he was waiting for Zhao Zhiguo's order.

If Zhao Zhiguo wanted to get rid of Chi Zishen, Yao Pengju would be unequivocal and immediately let his subordinates take control of Chi Zishen's brigade headquarters, and then disintegrate the Xingxian Security Brigade.

"So many troops marching eastward must be to fight against the Japs." Chi Zishen said.

"Don't try to trick me. All I can do is hope that Brigadier Chi can assist me. When the matter is over, Brigadier Chi's contribution will be indispensable."

"This is not a matter of merit or demerit. Indeed, I didn't help much, so I really deserve the credit." Chi Zishen said.

Chi Zishen didn't want any credit. He cooperated with the Eighth Route Army and inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army, and this was without authorization from Shangfeng.

To Chi Zishen, this doesn't look like credit at all.

First, once it is revealed that Chi Zishen assisted the Eighth Route Army in defeating the Japanese army, the Japs will definitely cause trouble for him.

Secondly, Shangfeng did not have authorization, so asking him to assist the Eighth Route Army was tantamount to him secretly reaching an agreement with the Eighth Route Army, and he was suspected of secretly colluding with the Eighth Route Army.

So no matter which angle you think about it, Chi Zishen doesn't want this credit.

"Brigadier Chi, our Eighth Route Army wants to keep its word, and we will not seize the credit of friendly forces for ourselves. We will definitely report this matter to the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, and then the Eighth Route Army Headquarters will communicate with the Second Theater District Commander's Department and give it to the Xingxian Guard Brigade

Reward." Yao Pengju said.

"Chief of Staff Yao, you love our Xingxian Security Brigade too much."

Chi Zishen didn't know how to refuse this credit that fell on him without doing anything.

"Commander Chi, is there anything else? If nothing happens, I want to be alone for a while," Yao Pengju said.

"Yes, yes, of course. I want to know what you plan to do with Brigadier Shi."

"Are you talking about Shi Kaicheng?" Yao Pengju said, "That kid ran too fast. My people didn't catch him, otherwise his head would have been moved by now."

"Well...did Brigadier Shi really defect to the Japanese army?"

"Is this the information your superior asked you to inquire about?" Yao Pengju asked, "Or do you want to know it yourself?"

"I am also a brigade commander after all. Such a big thing happened in the friendly defense area and I don't know anything about it. This is a bit unreasonable."

The pond is so deep that we still haven't figured out how the First Military Division obtained the evidence that Shi Kaicheng defected to the Japanese army.

"Okay, this is not a secret. I can tell you that Adjutant Cheng is now in our First Military Division and has surrendered to us." Yao Pengju said, "Brigadier Chi doesn't know who Adjutant Cheng is, right?"

"Adjutant Cheng? Brigadier Shi's adjutant? He defected to the First Military Division?"

"You can put it that way." Yao Pengju smiled.

Of course Adjutant Cheng was kidnapped by the soldiers of the special force, but it was entirely up to Yao Pengju to decide whether to tell Chi Zishen the truth.

Yao Pengju didn't care whether Chizi believed it or not, or whether he would report it to them.

"I heard that Adjutant Cheng disappeared under mysterious circumstances."

"Of course it was a mysterious disappearance. He definitely wouldn't have told him in advance that he wanted to join the First Military Division." Yao Pengju told lies and didn't write a draft. "And we captured two Japanese soldiers in Huixian County and seized a radio station and Chi Brigade.

Commander, you are not hiding two little devils, are you?"
