Chapter 91: Taking Qinghe County As soon as Wu Xiaoguo said his last sentence, the troops that had been calmed down by Xu Jinbiao became restless again. Wu Xiaoguo said it very clearly. As long as you get the heads of the Japanese devils, you can become a member of the Eighth Route Army. Even if you die, you will die as a soldier of the Eighth Route Army, not as a traitor. Chinese people have always attached great importance to reputation, especially posthumous reputation. If they do not do as the Eighth Route Army says, then they are iron-clad traitors, and their descendants will also have to bear the stigma of traitors. They also saw the strength of the Eighth Route Army. With more than 4,000 people, they only blocked the Eighth Route Army for two days, and the county seat of Qinghe County was breached. If Xu Jinbiao had not captured the civilians, they would have been captured by now. Those puppet soldiers thought about their parents or children being stabbed in the back by others for being the relatives of traitors, and their own children being beaten by other children because they were the children of traitors. These puppet soldiers quickly turned their attention to the eight remaining Japanese devils. Some of the puppet soldiers even turned their eyes to those puppet soldiers whose hands were stained with the blood of ordinary people.
Many people even set their eyes on Xu Jinbiao's head. Eight Japanese devils were definitely not enough for the hundreds of people they had, but Xu Jinbiao's status was not much different from that of the Japanese devils. Xu Jinbiao noticed something was wrong and was about to give the order to shoot an ordinary citizen, but he saw the bodyguard beside him looking at him with fiery eyes. "Brother Xu, my mother is old, and I don't want her to die without being able to close her eyes." "Brother Xu, the Eighth Route Army is right. Even the Japanese devils can't stop the Eighth Route Army. Later on, the Eighth Route Army will definitely attack Hebei. If we kill civilians today, we will be found and killed by the Eighth Route Army later." "Brother Xu, surrender! As long as we surrender, the Eighth Route Army will at most execute the ringleaders, and our families will be fine." "Brother Xu, don't worry, I will take good care of my sister-in-law and nephew in the future." Xu Jinbiao listened to what his personal soldiers said and looked at their eyes, knowing that they had already thought about surrendering. …… "boom!" With a gunshot, a bullet pierced Xu Jinbiao's chest, and then his body fell heavily to the ground. Ding Wei, who originally wanted to ask for some information, was stunned when he saw the dead Xu Jinbiao. Qin Yangming looked at the system's kill prompt and turned to look at a soldier from the vanguard camp with helplessness on his face. The soldier also looked at the gun in his hand in disbelief. "No, Captain, this time it was really an accidental discharge!" Xu Laoliu and his six companions were confused. Because they were sneaking into Qinghe County, they did not carry their own weapons, but only took a Type 38 rifle of the Japanese enemy. He swore to heaven that he definitely did not kill Xu Jinbiao by accident. Several soldiers from the vanguard camp nearby listened to what Xu Laoliu said with disbelief on their faces.
Who are you lying to? When some of the soldiers from the vanguard battalion accidentally discharged their guns and killed the surrendering Japanese or traitors, didn't they shout that they didn't mean it? Ding Wei listened to what Xu Laoliu said and looked at Qin Yangming helplessly. "Xiao Qin, the quality of your vanguard battalion's weapons is amazing. They can fire accidentally at any time, and they never hurt any of our comrades." "No, Captain Ding, this was really an accident. Think about it, this traitor has been caught and will be shot sooner or later. Maybe it's better for us to do it. There's no need for me to accidentally shoot him in advance!" Xu Laoliu looked at everyone staring at him and felt like crying but had no tears. He really fired the gun accidentally, he didn't mean to kill the other person. But who would believe this? He used it to deceive the brigade commander, but he ended up deceiving his own people. Thinking of this, everyone looked at Xu Laoliu with contempt. Qin Yangming wanted to make use of Xu Jinbiao's identity, but now he was beaten to death, which made him feel a little unhappy. "Duan Peng, the gun went off accidentally, it must have been because it was not properly maintained. As for your people, we'll take care of them." After Qin Yangming finished speaking, he turned around and followed Ding Wei towards the Japanese command post. Duan Peng looked at Xu Laoliu with a dark face. "Xu Laoliu, from today on, you will learn how to maintain your gun again!" "No, platoon leader, I am more wronged than Dou E." …… When Li Yunlong heard the news of the capture of Qinghe County, he immediately ordered the radio to be turned on and reported the matter to the brigade commander. As Qinghe County was captured, Qin Yangming led the vanguard battalion to Zhengchuan River quickly. The puppet Mongolian cavalry on the other side of the Zhengchuan River had just been forced to cross the river by orders from above, preparing to support Qinghe County. The cavalry, who had transformed into infantry, had just arrived at Longkou Town, north of Qinghe County, when they encountered the vanguard battalion that had rushed over. In accordance with Qin Yangming's request, Kong Jie led the independent regiment to build a low wall more than one meter high on the flat ground outside Longkou Town. Almost exactly as high as a horse. Because it was already night, and the scouts sent by the puppet Mongolian army did not find any enemy troops in Longkou Town during the day, they rode their horses slowly towards Longkou Town. Anyway, the ground was muddy and the horses couldn't increase their speed, so it wasn't their fault. However, the puppet Mongolian army did not expect that the Eighth Route Army would eliminate the puppet army in Qinghe County so quickly, and then rush to Longkou Town to encircle them. Qin Yangming stood behind the low wall, looking at the slow-moving black shadows in front of him in the moonlight: "Pay attention, don't lower your guns, don't kill all the horses." "Captain, don't worry. The road ahead is flat. We have calculated the height of our machine guns. As long as we maintain this height, we will only kill those pseudo-Mongol troops and leave the horses behind." Qin Yangming looked at the heavy machine guns and light machine guns mounted on the low wall and nodded. After approaching Longkou Town, the puppet Mongolian cavalry also discovered the low wall outside Longkou Town. "Humph, these Eighth Route Army soldiers actually want to use such a low wall to stop us. What wishful thinking!"
The leading pseudo-Mongol cavalryman looked at the low wall in front of him, jumped off his horse, and stepped on the relatively hard ground. "The land here is not flooded much and can support a short-distance charge." "Everyone, prepare to charge. Let these Eighth Route Army soldiers see how powerful our Mongolian cavalry is!" "Yes!" One by one, the soldiers took out their whips and began to whip their horses rhythmically. At the reminder of the whip, the warhorse began to increase its speed rapidly. "Fire!" Qin Yangming pulled the trigger and fired the flare. Looking at the cavalry under the flares, the soldiers of the vanguard camp who received Qin Yangming's order pulled the triggers in their hands one after another. Bullets fired from hundreds of light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns formed a wall of bullets. The pseudo-Mongolian cavalry, whose speed could be increased, crashed head-on into the wall. The leading Mongolian cavalry officers were shot to death, fell off their horses, and were finally trampled into pulp by the war horses behind them. After losing the command of the soldiers, the war horses looked at the low wall in front of them and the trenches and chevaux de frise in front of them, and moved to both sides. The pseudo-Mongolian cavalry behind wanted to escape, but how could their speed catch up with the bullets? In less than half an hour, thousands of puppet Mongolian cavalry were completely wiped out by the fierce machine gun fire of the vanguard battalion. Those who managed to survive were captured and tied up, and no one escaped. After dealing with the cavalry, Qin Yangming hurriedly notified Kong Jie and asked Kong Jie to bring the independent regiment to cooperate with the vanguard battalion to bring back all the horses from the Junggar Horse Farm. Because the soldiers of the vanguard camp had all received horse riding training, Qin Yangming left the heavy weapons behind and took the remaining soldiers directly to the Junggar Horse Farm on the captured war horses.
