Chi Zishen had already asked his subordinates to secretly deal with the two Japanese soldiers.

"Brigadier Chi, the stupid thing you said means surrendering to the Japanese army, or does it mean that we can seize the opportunity?"

Yao Pengju looked at Chi Zishen with interest, his purpose was to see the flaws in Chi Zishen's expression.

"Chief of Staff Yao, don't be joking. I can gain more by not joining the Japanese army than by joining the Japanese army." Chi Zishen told the truth.

Oscillating between the First Army Division and the Japanese Army can indeed maximize Chizi Shen's interests.

"What you said is true, but... after this operation is over, you won't be able to rely on the little devil even if you want to." Yao Pengju said.

Chizi pricked up his ears and listened carefully to what Yao Pengju said.

It seemed that every word Yao Pengju said was important information.

"Commander Chi, after tonight, there will be no more Japanese troops west of the Yuntuo River. Xingxian County will become the hinterland of the First Military Division. By then, wherever you go from Xingxian County, you will have to pass through the defense zone of the First Military Division." Yao Pengju told

The pool is deep.

Chi Zishen frowned. It was obvious that the deployment of the First Military Division had exceeded Chi Zishen's expectations.

The purpose of Zhao Zhiguo's march was to control the area west of the Yuntuo River and to confront the Japanese army across the river.

"Commander Chi, do you have any ideas next? Will you still lead troops to garrison in Xing County?" Yao Pengju asked Chi Zishen.

"The garrison in Xing County is an order from Shangfeng. I have no right to make the decision."

Chi Zishen knew very well that the Xingxian Guard Brigade was already a piece of fat on the lips of the First Military Division. Of course, the Xingxian Guard Brigade was not considered fat.

But the First Military Division can eat them whenever it wants.

"I hope Brigadier Chi will be a good neighbor in the future. When I pass by the Xingxian Security Brigade again, I won't have to come over to say hello."

Yao Pengju's meaning is very obvious. From now on, Elder Chi Lu will be honest, and the boundary of Xing County is also a place where he can always come.

Chizi Shen still dared to refuse, so he could only nod and agree: "No, they are all Chinese troops, and they are all Chinese territory. We will never set up defenses in Xing County."

The Japanese troops were beaten away, and Chi Zishen faced the First Army Division alone. He did not dare to make any small moves.

"Don't worry, we will give Xing County a road to the outside world." Yao Pengju said.

Chi Zishen felt extremely regretful at this time, why he had not reached an agreement with the First Military Division in Pingcheng to jointly resist Japan.

If an agreement to jointly resist Japan had been reached, Xing County would have at least had room to negotiate with the First Military Division.

Now Chizi really wants to talk to the First Military Division, but the First Military Division will not give them any chance.

On the front line of the Yuntuo River, the troops deployed along the Yuntuo River in Gangcun heard that the Japanese army unit that went to stop the Chinese army was defeated, and the Japanese army on the east bank felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.

The little Japanese didn't know what Zhao Zhiguo was going to do. The Japanese troops on the east bank were afraid that the troops of the First Army Division would directly cross the east bank before their retreating troops could pass.

If the Chinese army breaks through the Japanese defense line on the east coast, the Japanese army may suffer a larger-scale rout.

However, the Japanese troops who were relatively close to the Yuntuo River retreated quickly enough. The county town was originally close to the Yuntuo River. When receiving the order, the Japanese troops in the county town did not delay at all.

Before the Second Brigade could cut off the road on the Yuntuo River, some Japanese troops had already crossed the Yuntuo River.

Qin Dongsheng and the others did not stop all the way. In the middle of the night, they arrived at the west bank of the Yuntuo River and met a Japanese army on the west bank.

In the dark night, the Japanese army thought that other retreating troops were arriving and did not make any defensive preparations.

The troops of the Second Brigade who arrived at the Yuntuo River knew very well that there were no brother troops along the Yuntuo River, so they attacked first without saying a word.

"Da da da"

The Japanese troops who had no time to cross the river were caught off guard and rushed towards the bridge over the river.

Some Japanese soldiers even jumped into the river and swam to the other side.

A large number of Japanese troops blocked the bridge, and there was even a stampede. Some little Japanese were pushed directly into the river by their companions.

However, the more exciting scene is yet to come.

The Japanese troops stationed on the east bank were frightened when they heard the gunshots, and immediately ordered the machine guns on the bridgehead to stop people crossing the bridge.

The life and death of the Japanese troops on the west bank have nothing to do with the Japanese troops on the east bank. However, if the Japanese troops crossing the river are mixed with Chinese soldiers and take the opportunity to seize the defense fortifications on the east bank, then the Japanese troops on the east bank will be responsible for losing their positions.

Seeing a large number of people pouring over the bridge, the Japanese commander directly ordered the shooting.

There were no bunkers on the bridge, and the heavy machine gun bullets had strong penetrating power. The crowded little Japanese were like wheat harvested by a sickle, falling one by one.

The little devil on the bridge watched this scene in despair.

Behind them were Chinese soldiers, and in front were their own heavy machine guns. They lost the courage to resist.

Some of the little devils were quite clever and jumped directly from the bridge into the river, so they might still have a chance to survive.

Some Japanese troops lost their minds and directly fired back at the machine gun positions on the bridgehead, but this was in vain.

However, most of the little Japs who rushed onto the bridge died under their own guns, and their blood flowed from the bridge into the river. If it were daytime, you would definitely be able to watch the red river flowing downwards.

Most of the Japanese troops who had not yet had time to get onto the bridge abandoned their equipment and jumped into the river one after another.

Japanese soldiers who can swim will most likely be able to swim to the other side of the river, but Japanese soldiers who can't swim can only raise bastards in the river.

The troops of the Second Brigade took control of the west bank of the Yuntuo River without any effort. Of course, this was due to the assistance provided by the Japanese army, which caused the retreating Japanese army to lose the confidence to resist.

However, the battle did not end there.

Soldiers know very well that when they arrive at a place, no matter whether there is fighting or not, even if there is a high probability that there will be no fighting, they must build defenses.

Without fortifications, once a battle breaks out, the troops will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

Moreover, all the officers and soldiers of the Second Brigade knew that there were Japanese troops on the west bank of the Yuntuo River who would retreat from their direction, and they must be prepared for battle.

The river washed its banks and swept away countless little devils.

The soldiers of the Second Brigade did not have time to care whether there were still Japs on the river bank. They used all the tools at their disposal to dig bunkers under their feet.

In less than half an hour, the battle started again. About a large group of Japanese troops wanted to retreat from this place, but the officers and soldiers of the Second Brigade had already established a firm foothold.

"Boom boom boom"

The Japanese troops on the east bank began to bombard the west bank with artillery, providing only artillery support to the Japanese troops on the west bank.

However, in the dark night, the hit rate of Japanese artillery plummeted, and the effect was minimal.

The Japanese troops retreating from the west bank were eager to retreat and did not carry much combat supplies. They hurried and took their time, but they were still one step late.
