Although they defeated the puppet army, they were not completely defeated. Although the puppet army was very chaotic when they retreated, they would soon organize themselves again as long as they left the battlefield.

They succeeded in this battle entirely because the puppet army was in disarray. Even with the subsequent group of people, if they really fought an offensive war with the puppet army, it would become a war of attrition. It may not be possible.

win.

Besides, now that they are fighting continuously, they are very tired and basically have no strength to fight anymore. As for the new force, the specific situation is still unknown. Naturally, he will not rashly order a pursuit now. Who will suffer the loss if he catches up?

Woolen cloth.

Moreover, they are alone, unlike the puppet army. They have reinforcements everywhere. Although there are constant internal troubles, they still need support.

Besides, beating a dog depends on its owner. In the past, when the dog of the puppet army barked and bit people, the Japanese owner naturally let it go. Now that they were beaten, their owner had to stand up for them.

So they just cleaned the battlefield hastily, and after collecting the weapons, equipment and ammunition abandoned by the puppet troops, Zhang Yunfei ordered a retreat without saying a word.

This time they were blocked by puppet troops. If they didn't run away, it might be the Japanese who blocked them next time.

At this time, they did not even take care of the wounded soldiers who were lying on the ground and had not been taken away by the puppet army when they retreated.

What is the Eighth Route Army's prisoner policy? The captured wounded must be given good food and drink. Under these conditions, they cannot even take care of their own wounded, so how can they have any extra resources for them?

Since we can't take prisoners, we won't take them anymore. The biggest thing captured this time was the two mortars. When the puppet soldiers fled, they wished their parents had less legs. The mortars that affected their escape were naturally thrown down. I guess

Li Jianfeng feels heartbroken.

It is a pity that all the artillery shells were used up in the previous offensive and defensive battles, and they failed to capture a single artillery shell. For them, this thing can only be a decoration for the time being.

Zhang Yunfei took his troops and rushed to his hometown, so he had time to communicate with the people who came for reinforcements, talk, and understand the specific situation.

On the march, Zhang Yunfei only briefly learned that the group of people coming for reinforcements were the guerrillas led by Wu Hannian.

At that time, his jaw dropped. There were eighty-seven of these guys in total. Well, more than ten people died in the previous battle, otherwise they would have been over a hundred.

He really didn't expect that in such a short period of time, it would grow to hundreds of people without his knowledge. Of course, although this was unexpected, it was not too surprising.

After all, this balloon-like development model was itself a successful example of the Eighth Route Army, and he was only using it.

Team members are relatively easy to recruit, but the key is team building, weapons and equipment, training, etc. are the big problems.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell the fighting power of an army at a glance, and the battle just now fully proved this. This team has strong combat power, and it really doesn't look like a newly formed team.

From Wu Hannian's story, Zhang Yunfei and Zhu Guolang generally understood the situation of his team.

Wu Hannian was criticized for his unconventional behavior of forcibly recruiting people to join the gang like a bandit. He took a look at himself and thought that the detachment leader said something very good: take a long-term view and don't just stare at it all the time.

There are three melons and two dates in front of me. The melon vines have been pulled out, the trees have been planed, and they are still hairy.

Thinking about it, the surrounding villages did support him in organizing the guerrillas during the war, but the villagers were smart enough not to come due to the conditions, and the only ones who came were straightforward people carrying pitchforks and hoes.

This is no longer a matter of three melons and two dates, but a crooked melon and two dates. This is not a guerrilla, but a labor force. It is not possible to continue like this.

So he thought hard and had no solution, so he thought about what the detachment leader said and looked farther away, so he looked into the distance. Well, there were mountains everywhere in his eyes, and it seemed that he was not too far away.

He really didn't know why the detachment reminded him to look at the mountains in the distance. They were just rocks and there were no people. Thinking of people, he suddenly had an idea and finally understood the meaning of the detachment leader's words.

If there are mountains, there must be bandits. Those bandits have guns and can shoot. If we pull them here, wouldn't all their personnel and equipment be eliminated?

Wu Hannian is a man of action and has a fiery personality, so he started his journey to worship mountains.

From ancient times to the present, there are two major professions that bring disgrace to the ancestors. The first one is naturally a traitor, and the second one is a bandit.

Needless to say, traitors, Qin Hui, Wu Sangui and his like are notorious throughout the world. Although bandits are better, they also bring shame to their ancestors. As long as there is some backbone, even if they eat grass roots and tree bark, even if they have a little hope of living, they will not fall into the trap.

Kou, you will be looked down upon by others all your life, and future generations will be unable to hold their heads high.

Even if you have fallen into the trap of being a bandit, after you have solved your livelihood, you still have some ambition and want to be recruited and clear your name of being a bandit.

The bandits did not fight with the officials, but Wu Hannian worshiped the mountain in a polite manner. Regardless of whether they accepted it or not, they at least treated him politely.

Maybe Wu Hannian was really lucky, or maybe he had a bit of gangsterism in him, and there were people who were like him, and he persuaded a group of bandits to join his guerrillas.

His team is open, but now the problem is thrown to Zhang Yunfei. The Eighth Route Army has a policy. The so-called forgetting the past only means that there is no big evil, just bullying the people and robbing some things.

Those who have no blood debts to join the army and fight against the Japanese are naturally welcome, but those with heavy blood debts still need to be dealt with.

By the way, I am currently using the reading app, which is a resource-changing tool with many book sources, complete books, and fast updates!

But here's the problem. If they arrest such elements, will this group of bandits deliberately target them, stage a mutiny, and have a fight? That would be great fun.

"Actually, don't worry. I have a general understanding. They are mainly composed of refugees and broken soldiers. They are said to be bandits. In fact, they just stick together to protect themselves. You also know that our place is quite xenophobic." Zhu Guolang is a little bit

He said awkwardly, it was always weird to say something about his hometown, but fortunately Zhang Yunfei was also from Xincheng, so he could say it.

Zhang Yunfei really didn't know that he, a Xincheng native, was a half-hearted person, but if he thought about it, he could understand that xenophobia existed everywhere.

In later generations, outsiders often committed murders due to armed fighting. Those people were often called hooligans and so on. In fact, you only find out when you get into them that they are just ordinary people. How about they behave cruelly and fiercely?

, will be bullied to death.

Unruly people emerge from the mountains and rivers, and clan fights are common. In an era when laws were sound, lives were easy to be lost. In this era of social collapse, it is even more lawless.

They can be ruthless towards their own countrymen, but they are even less polite towards outsiders. If these refugees want to settle down, they will inevitably encroach on the interests of the local people.

It is understandable that they built a stronghold to protect themselves in the name of bandits. Even if they were not bandits, the locals would treat them as bandits.

Zhu Guolang is a local, and he has seen a lot of things like walking in the streets. In addition, he has fought guerrillas and wandered around in the mountains, so he has come into more contact with some bandits.

They all have some friendship, and it's not surprising that he knows more than Zhang Yunfei.

In this era, the boundaries between civilians and bandits are sometimes very blurry and difficult to define.
