On the distant road, the rumble of engines from the Japanese Army's retreating convoy could already be faintly heard.

"Commander, the devils have entered the circle!"

Jiang Xiangyun's gaze was like lightning, staring fixedly at the lead three-wheeled motorcycle.

The Type 92 Infantry Gun crew stood strictly awaiting battle; the main gunner steadily turned the direction machine, the cannon muzzle moving horizontally with the convoy's movement.

"Keep calm, hit the truck behind the motorcycle, cut off the road!"

Jiang Xiangyun whispered his instructions.

When the lead vehicle's windshield was clearly visible in the gun sight, the main gunner decisively pulled the fire rope.

Boom!

The Type 92 Infantry Gun's barrel shook, then a fireball exploded in the center of the road, instantly engulfing a Japanese Army truck in flames.

The tremendous impact flipped the vehicle's front end, its wreckage lying across the middle of the road.

"Demolition team! Blow up the road!"

At the order, the explosives pre-buried on the road kept detonating, blowing the road into uneven pits.

Then came rifles and light machine guns, firing down upon the road.

The soldiers of the Japanese Army's 21st Division had not yet recovered from the jolting when this rain of bullets caught them completely off guard.

Inside Kizawa Tadamin's armored vehicle, the violent vibration made his forehead strike the iron sheet of the vehicle roof.

"Where is this ambush? Is it the Eighth Route Army again?"

General Heinz steadied himself, looking at the chaotic scene outside the window, and looked at William with a bewildered expression.

"William, why do I feel that the Japanese Army in North China is now struggling even against guerrillas?"

William had no time to answer; he was busy finding a support point inside the violently shaking vehicle body.

"General... perhaps it is Chu Yunfei's armored forces pursuing us from behind, leaving the Japanese Army soldiers of the 21st Division at a loss..."

Lieutenant General Yoshitada Kizawa was somewhat nervous.

It was not that they could not defeat this group of Eighth Route Army in front of them, but rather worrying that delaying time would allow the Youth Army Guerrilla Corps behind them to catch up.

If caught by the Guerrilla Corps, even if he did not die, he would still lose a layer of skin.

Rat-tat-tat!

On the road ahead, another troop appeared, blocking the retreat route of Kizawa Tadamin's 21st Division.

The enemy blocking their retreat route had reinforced its strength again!

"Forget it! Find a way to leave the road, disengage from combat, we'll take a detour back to Xinxiang!"

At this time, at Jiang Xiangyun's command position, a big head had appeared beside him; this person was Li Yunlong, the regimental commander of the New 1st Regiment.

"Commander Jiang, Lao Li caught up slowly but finally caught up!"

Jiang Xiangyun pointed at the devils on the road and shouted: "Li Yunlong, stop the nonsense!"

"Bring out all your family assets; let's pull off a big job this time!"

"The little devils are busy fleeing for their lives; we must tear a big piece of meat off them!"

"As long as we leave one little devil, the supplies on him are enough to make up for our losses!"

After hearing this, Li Yunlong's eyes instantly lit up.

"Good! Commander Jiang invited me to a feast; Lao Li will definitely eat his fill!"

The New 1st Regiment's Type 92s, Maxim Heavy Machine Guns, Type 11 Light Machine Guns, and Czech Light Machine Guns launched continuous harassment against the devils.

"Mortars! Blast the devil crowds, not a single round left!"

"Zhuzi, are you blind? Shoot down that devil heavy machine gun for me!"

The addition of the New 1st Regiment made the already panicked Japanese Army feel even more difficult to deal with.

This group of Eighth Route Army was doggedly hounding them, making it almost impossible to break free.

Jiang Xiangyun's Type 92 Infantry Gun crew discovered a special armored vehicle in the distance; that armored vehicle kept adjusting its position, trying to find a good angle to cross the ditch and bypass the ambush point from the wheat field beside the road.

As that heavily protected armored vehicle tried to speed up and rush into the open field, a cannon boomed.

"Hit!"

The shell whistled as the Type 92 Infantry Gun fired one shot at a spot several meters to the left front of the armored vehicle.

The huge air wave and the dirt kicked up instantly obscured the driver's vision.

The driver instinctively turned the wheel; accompanied by a scraping sound and a crash, the armored vehicle overturned into the deep ditch by the roadside.

Kizawa Tadamin, General Heinz, and others inside the armored vehicle quickly crawled out of the vehicle and lay on the ground to dodge bullets.

Upon coming out, they discovered that many Japanese Army soldiers had already taken to their heels and were running in the wheat field!

And in the rear, there was another round of hurried gun and cannon fire.

Chu Yunfei's pursuing force broke through the blocking position left by Kizawa Tadamin, following the sound of the Eighth Route Army's blocking gun and cannon fire, and directly killed its way to the devils.

"The Youth Army's tanks are coming! Run!"

More Japanese Army soldiers began fleeing aimlessly into the surrounding wheat fields.

Many devils no longer cared about any general at all.

The instinct for survival made them stride forward, only to leave the battlefield quickly.

Anyway, whether it was the Front Army Headquarters or the division commander, both had issued retreat orders.

As long as we can retreat, there's no problem!

Li Yunlong poked his big head out nearby at this moment, watching Chu Yunfei's tank units rampage across the battlefield, fully armed Youth Army infantry launching a pursuit toward the Japanese Army, with planes shuttling through the sky......

Good fellow, I've really opened my eyes this time!

Can this battle even be fought like this?

Such a hard-won battle, I don't know if I can afford to fight one like this in my lifetime?

When the little devils ran away, they dropped equipment all over the ground.

And the Youth Army's tanks and infantry did not stop their steps to search and clear the battlefield, apparently not caring much about the equipment dropped by the little devils.

Jiang Xiangyun trotted over to Li Yunlong's side and said: "What are you standing there dazed for, hurry up and search and clear the battlefield!"

"We also have credit here, take away everything usable!"

The Eighth Route Army soldiers began searching and clearing the battlefield.

Not long afterward, Chu Yunfei arrived at the scene riding in a jeep.

Seeing Japanese Army weapons scattered all over the ground and the Eighth Route Army searching and clearing the battlefield, he didn't say much.

I don't completely look down on the Japanese Army's equipment; these can be issued to new recruits for emergency use, or even resold, or even sold as scrap iron.

It's just that inside Jiaozuo City, I've already occupied an armory of the 110th Division, with quite a few weapons inside.

As for the equipment the devils discarded in the wild, leaving it to the Eighth Route Army, who also have credit, is no problem.

Next time when I need help, they won't have any objections either.

Jiang Xiangyun knew Chu Yunfei had arrived, so he brought Li Yunlong over to say hello.

"Corps Commander Chu, your Guerrilla Corps really moves fast, you've chased them out so quickly."

Chu Yunfei saw it was Jiang Xiangyun coming and said with a smile: "Where, where, I still arrived late; without you blocking here, my subordinates would still have to chase several more kilometers."

By the way, old classmate, Commander Lu asked me to pass on his greetings to you.

After I crossed the Yellow River, I also received some help from the Eighth Route Army's Jiang Xiangyun unit.

Chu Yunfei knew his Commander Lu and Jiang Xiangyun had a good relationship in Whampoa Class 1, and since I am his junior from Class 5, he voluntarily pulled together a relationship.

"Also pass on my greetings to Muzi for me, of course, and the other Class 1 classmates in the Eighth Route Army, I've passed them on for them all."

Chu Yunfei clasped his hands: "Chu Mou will definitely pass them all on properly."

Afterward, Jiang Xiangyun pointed at the Japanese corpses and supplies all over the ground and said: "By the way, I've been busy for half a day, it's no problem to collect some hardship pay, right?"

Especially this Commander Li Yunlong of mine beside me, who came from far away to block and attack; without his New 1st Regiment, we really couldn't have stopped so many devils.

Chu Yunfei shook hands with Li Yunlong: "Of course no problem, and thank you Commander Li too; the equipment dropped by the devils around here, you can take it as you please, Chu Mou will not say another word."

Li Yunlong was extremely happy: "Haha, Corps Commander Chu is not only a hero and outstanding man, but also quite generous."

"I think the equipment on the ground can at least arm a reinforced battalion; you just give it like that."

"Our Lao Li has recently been on the Taihang Mountains northwest of Jiaozuo; next time there's this kind of good thing, remember to give me a heads-up!"

Chu Yunfei was about to reply when a soldier ran over, panting and said: "Report! Captured over ten strange devils!"

"Strange devils? How strange?"

"Uh...... their eyes are blue-gray, not Eastern devils, but Western devils!"

At this moment, inside the Youth Corps Headquarters in Zhengzhou, Lv Muzhi received the victory report of the recapture of Jiaozuo, his mood had no great fluctuation, in his view this was only natural.

But upon seeing the last page of the victory report, the whole person was stunned:

Hans State's Military Observation Group? My enlightenment mentor from back then...... captured?

Chu Yunfei has fought all the way to where?! Is this still within the country?!
