The fields and mountains in southeastern Shanxi are particularly empty in winter.

Snow began to fall in the sky, and the cold wind whistled sharply among the mountain peaks and valleys.

A strangely dressed team marched towards the Taihang Mountains.

Walking in front were a group of ordinary people in ragged clothes, and behind them were a group of national troops wearing tattered military uniforms.

There were about a dozen people in front with submachine guns hanging around their necks, followed closely by four people carrying a Type 92 heavy machine gun, one person carrying the crooked handle on his shoulder, and the two people behind him had a 38 large cover hanging on their waists.

Two or three melon grenades and bullet pouches.

There are more than a hundred people in the army. Although it looks like a mixed army, the morale on everyone's face does not appear to be low.

Especially when he looked at the monk at the front, his eyes were full of admiration and enthusiasm.

It was he who rescued them from the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp!

From now on, they will follow him to fight against the Japanese!

When he reached a valley, Wei Dayong looked around, and after confirming that he was right, he gave the order to set up camp on the spot.

This should be the place where Zhao Gang rescued Wei Dayong. He will wait for Zhao Gang to arrive here and follow Zhao Gang to join the independent group.

Fighting Japanese enemies is fun only by following Li Yunlong.

With Li Yunlong's character, he took more than a hundred men and forty or fifty guns to shoot him.

It's like feeding fat into his mouth. Even if they were former national soldiers, he would accept them without hesitation.

At this time, the independent regiment had just been severely damaged by the three special forces, and it was the time to recruit people.

Zhao Gang was riding on a horse in the Eighth Route Army uniform. He had a resolute temperament and gave people a sense of righteousness. He was followed by the same two guards on horses, each carrying a medium-grade rifle.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the valley, Zhao Gang stopped first and smelled an unusual smell.

"dismount!"

Zhao Gang dismounted first: "Give me the gun!"

The guard handed over the official rifle, pulled the bolt, loaded the bullet, opened the sight, and aimed into the valley.

In Zhao Gang's sight.

A tall man wearing a light yellow Central Army uniform and a submachine gun hanging around his neck walked out of the valley.

Then, a large number of soldiers and civilians in ragged clothes emerged from behind the man.

There were about two to three hundred people, and everyone was looking in the direction where they were.

It was neither Japanese nor puppet troops. Zhao Gang and the two guards immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

If you are ambushed in a place like this, it is almost impossible to escape.

However, Zhao Gang did not relax his vigilance and nuzzled at the guard next to him.

The guard understood and shouted in the direction of Wei Dayong: "Which department are you from?"

Wei Dayong gestured to Xiao Liuzi who was standing next to him.

Xiao Liuzi took a step forward and shouted in the direction of Political Commissar Zhao: "Sir, don't get me wrong, we are not enemies."

The guard shouted: "Which department do you belong to? I will shoot!"

Xiao Liuzi shouted: "We fought out from the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp and came to join the Eighth Route Army!"

After hearing this, the guard whispered to Zhao Gang: "Chief, there is indeed a prisoner of war camp nearby. It seems that they are Central Army prisoners of war and civilians who escaped from the prisoner of war camp."

Zhao Gang nodded, thought for a moment, put away his formal rifle, mounted his horse and walked towards Wei Dayong's group.

The two guards were shocked and wanted to stop Zhao Gang, but Zhao Gang signaled that it was okay.

But the two of them were still worried. To guard against fraud, they loaded the bullets and raised the muzzles of their guns slightly, ready to shoot at any time.

After approaching, Zhao Gang asked: "You just said you wanted to join the Eighth Route Army?"

Zhao Gang studied at Yenching University and later went to Yan'an Anti-Japanese University to study. This time he served as political commissar of the Independent League.

I have long heard that Li Yunlong, the leader of the Independent Regiment, is an old revolutionary who is very skilled in fighting, but he is full of stinky problems and disobeying orders on the battlefield is commonplace.

If a company can be brought to the Independent Regiment halfway, it will not only impress Li Yunlong, but also strengthen the Independent Regiment and solve the urgent need of the Independent Regiment's shortage of manpower.

Except for Wei Dayong, the Central Army and the people looked at Zhao Gang with curiosity on their faces.

It is said that the Eighth Route Army is very powerful in fighting Japanese. They have never seen the Eighth Route Army before, but today they finally saw the real person.

When they heard Zhao Gang's question, they were speechless and all nodded violently.

Seeing this, Zhao Gang had no choice but to say: "Who is the leader? Stand up and speak."

"Hello, sir, I am the leader. My name is Wei Dayong."

Wei Dayong stepped forward and gave a military salute to Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang did not know Wei Dayong at this time, so Wei Dayong could only pretend not to know Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang dismounted and gave him a military salute in return: "Hello, my name is Zhao Gang."

"Tell me, what's going on with you?"

Wei Dayong said: "A group of elite Japanese soldiers appeared in the prisoner-of-war camp. They each possess special skills and are armed to the teeth. They use prisoners of war to train in unarmed fighting..."

After he finished speaking, even Zhao Gang, who had always been calm, was a little shocked and speechless.

Zhao Gang lost his voice and said: "You mean...you killed ten elite Japanese soldiers with your bare hands?"

Zhao Gang looked up and down at Wei Dayong again.

Killed ten elite Japs with bare hands, and led more than 300 people out of the Japs prisoner-of-war camp.

It's so strong!

This time, he seems to have picked up a treasure for the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment!?
