Chapter 1077: Destroy Them in the Bud (First Update!) )
Jinjiawan, the only way for the stronghold to go to Dawangzhuang, the Japanese puppet army has to pass through here in more than an hour.
The road is bordered by farmland on one side and gentle slopes on the other. Overgrown with bushes and large raised rocks, hundreds of people hiding in them will not be discovered.
Zhang Cheng and his subordinates lined up, hiding behind bushes and stones.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese puppet army appeared.
The three little devils hit the head, all holding rifles with bayonets on them, and one of the rifles also had a plaster flag on it, which meant that its owner was either a military officer or a Cao Chang, and he was very vigilant and stared around.
After walking more than 100 meters, the main force of the Japanese puppet army appeared.
Two dozen devils followed, in two formations, carrying two machine guns and two grenadiers; More than thirty puppet soldiers walked at the rear, armed with a machine gun, and the others had a rifle in their hands, carried on their shoulders.
Zhang Cheng immediately became excited, looked at the little devil who was getting closer and closer, and ordered with a confident face.
"The guard squad cleaned up the first three little devils, one or two rows, and followed me to clean up the little devils in the middle, and the third row stared at the puppet army behind."
"The fire platoon is on standby, and without my order, you must not shoot and expose your strength."
"All the little devils are eliminated, as long as the puppet army doesn't fight back, they won't kill if they can, they are the best soldiers we can expand our troops in the future, they are all treasures."
The Japanese squad leader did not realize that a knife was already hanging over his forehead and was about to fall down, taking his life.
In his eyes, no matter how powerful the Seven Eighth Route Army is, it is no match for more than 60 of his own people.
In the face of the attack, they had no other way but to continue to hide in the mountains, use guerrilla warfare, and hide and hide themselves.
Zhang Chengban squatted behind a raised stone, the box gun in his hand had been replaced by a rifle, and he held it in his hand, three points and one line, and put the only little devil in the middle of the team with a command knife on his waist into the crosshairs.
"Horn ......"
After the Japanese puppet army all entered the pocket formation, they decisively pulled the trigger.
The captain of the devil squad felt that he was hit hard by a big rock in his chest, and he was almost knocked over, and the sting pain was unbearable, and then he saw a blood hole appear in his chest, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
His eyes quickly widened, revealing an expression of incredible shock, and then despair......
His face also turned pale with a brush, and he fell to the ground with unwillingness, not blinking.
"Dada...... Horn Horn ......"
At this time, the gunfire on the battlefield was already ringing out, and the machine gunners, sharpshooters, veterans, all stared at the devil machine gunners, grenadier barrel men, and the military Cao and Cao Chang, who had plaster flags hanging on their rifles, hugged the fire, ensuring that one hit was hit, and they were not given a chance to return fire.
In just one round of shooting, more than half of the more than 20 devils were killed or wounded, all the key targets were killed, and some people were directly beaten into a sieve, and their bodies were densely covered with bloody holes.
Although the living devil was panicked, he was not deterred.
Lie down on your stomach, raise your rifle and start fighting back.
However, two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, and the first company not only has the advantage of strength and firepower, but also occupies the advantage of terrain.
As soon as a devil shoots and is exposed, the machine gun immediately sweeps over.
Bullets rained down on them, and the blind cat could hit the target even if the mouse was killed.
"Trumpeter, blow the trumpet! The troops rushed forward, fought quickly, and cleared the battlefield and retreated within ten minutes. After Zhang Cheng shot the third bullet, it was already difficult to see the little devil on the road, so he seized the opportunity and ordered decisively.
It was only two hours before the Wanfeng Village stronghold received the news that the attacking troops had been ambushed, and it was reported by the nearby maintenance committee.
Cao Chang, who stayed at the stronghold, was shocked and frightened, and did not dare to lead troops to the scene to check.
There were less than fifty garrisons left in the stronghold, and in order to ensure the safety of the stronghold, he took ten people out at most.
The more than 60 people under the captain's personal command are not opponents, and taking 10 people out by himself will definitely fall into the mouth of the tiger.
After discussing it with a military officer, he decided not to move, and while ordering the troops to strengthen their vigilance to prevent the Eighth Route Army from taking the opportunity to sneak attack the stronghold, Squadron Leader Yoshida in Zhangguanshan Town reported and asked for reinforcements.
At the stronghold of Sekiyama Town, a dispute is unfolding in front of Captain Yoshida over whether the troops should be sent immediately.
The two squad leaders under his command, one agreed to send troops immediately, and the other agreed to ask for help from his superiors, and then send troops when reinforcements arrived.
"Sir, I think that the Imperial Army dispatched an infantry squad, and the Imperial Allied Army dispatched an infantry company, plus two heavy machine guns and two mortars, which is enough to kill this Eighth Route Army." A squad leader reported.
"Humble opposition...... They can eat more than 30 imperial troops and more than 30 imperial alliance troops in one bite, which shows that they are very strong, and they will definitely suffer a big loss if they rush to send troops. The other squad leader retorted.
"I suggest coming to the rescue from above, and when reinforcements arrive, gather at least one infantry squadron before attacking."
The squad leader who agreed to send troops was not to be left behind, and continued: "Sir, it is safer to wait for reinforcements, but it will take time, and the longer it drags on, the more bad it will be for us. ”
"Don't forget, this Eighth Route Army has just captured a lot of weapons and ammunition from the Imperial Army, and has also captured nearly a platoon of Imperial Cooperative Army."
"According to the combat style of the Eighth Route Army, it will definitely expand the troops as soon as possible and mobilize prisoners to join them."
"If they take the opportunity to kill a few more maintenance clubs, they will have more weapons and ammunition in their hands."
"When reinforcements arrive, their strength will at least double."
"The Imperial Army will have to pay a greater price to destroy them, and the gains outweigh the losses."
"It's better to send troops now, take advantage of the fact that they have just gone through a battle and have not had time to replenish, kill them immediately, take them by surprise, and kill them."
"As for their strength, I don't think it will be more than one platoon."
"It should be the Eighth Route Army, which was dispersed in the last counter-sweep, recovered after this period of time and gathered together to form a temporary force."
"The reason why the sweeping troops dispatched from the stronghold of Wanfeng Village will be defeated is that they must be underestimated by the enemy."
"I have studied the terrain of Jinjiawan, which is very suitable for ambushes."
"In the case that the imperial army is light on the enemy, the Eighth Route Army is fully capable of winning this ambush battle with one platoon."
"Sending troops ......" Captain Yoshida finally made a decision.
Then explained: "He's right, we can't wait for the Eighth Route Army here to become bigger, we must nip them in the bud." ”
"Otherwise, the imperial army will definitely have to pay a very big price to kill them, and the good situation in the blockade area will also be destroyed by these Eighth Route Army, and our efforts for so long will be in vain."
"Contact the Zhouzhuang stronghold, they dispatched half a team and marched back to Guanshan Town in a hurry."
"We will send out two combat detachments, two heavy machine gun squads, two artillery squads, and one company of the Imperial Allied Army to form a mixed force, and we will attack tomorrow morning to kill this Eighth Route Army."
