The blockade ditch in charge of the Japanese puppet army in Guanshan Town is more than 30 kilometers.

In addition to the stronghold in Guanshan Town, three small strongholds were also built along the blockade ditch, separating nearly 100 villages from the garrison base area and becoming an independent blockade area.

Some of the two openings in the blockade ditch that stretches for dozens of kilometers can enter and exit normally, but they are stuck by two strongholds, and dozens of Japanese puppet troops set up checkpoints here every day to check pedestrians and prevent the Eighth Route Army from entering and leaving this blockade area.

The rest of the blockade ditch was densely covered with mines, and troops patrolled along the line of the blockade wall at all times, and the Japanese puppet army hid in the Tibetan soldiers along the blockade ditch as ambush soldiers to attack the Eighth Route Army that destroyed the blockade ditch, ensuring that no one secretly crossed the blockade ditch.

In the blockade area, nearly 3,000 Japanese puppet troops dispatched from the stronghold of Guanshan Town and 2,000 Japanese puppet troops dispatched from the Japanese-occupied areas attacked back and forth, and for three consecutive days, the sweeping troops were dispatched as soon as dawn to sweep every corner of the place in a dragnet style, completely killing all the resistance forces inside.

After a day's sweeping, the Japanese puppet army dragged their tired bodies back to the station, lying down and not wanting to move again.

The captain of the devil team can't relax yet, and he has to report the results of the day's sweep to Dazuo.

With a calm face, he lowered his head and walked into Dazuo's office: "Sir, I disappointed you with my humble position, today's sweep was the same as yesterday, except for killing a few small shrimps, I didn't catch a big fish." ”

"The Eighth Route Army in the blockade area is as if they have suddenly disappeared, and they can't be touched at all."

"At the current speed of sweeping, in one more day tomorrow, the entire blockade area will be swept by us and completely wiped out."

Dazuo thought for a moment and replied: "There are two possibilities, either the Eighth Route Army in the blockade area left the people and fled before we established the blockade ditch, and only these small shrimps remained in the blockade area, sneaking up and harassing us." ”

"Either they'll hide in this area that we haven't swept yet, waiting for an opportunity to strike back and crush our sweep."

"I think the second possibility is more likely, because this is the usual combat style of the Eighth Route Army."

"Order the troops to be on increased alert, especially those blocking the front line of the ditch."

"When the sweep is over tomorrow, we'll know which one might be."

Wanfeng Village, a traffic artery in and out of the blockade area.

In order to hold this place and ensure that the blockade ditch of nearly ten kilometers on both sides is not destroyed, the Japanese army stationed a full 500 people here, a battalion of puppet troops, and a devil who strengthened the squadron.

Of course, these garrisons were temporarily reinforced to cooperate with the sweep.

When the sweep is over, all the Eighth Route Army in the blockade area will be wiped out, and the stronghold garrison will be reduced by at least two-thirds.

Before dark, one-fifth of the Japanese puppet army left the stronghold and hid in the Tibetan caves along the blockade ditch to stand by, or formed a patrol team to patrol along the highway line, and cooperated with the ambush soldiers in the hidden caves to prevent anyone from destroying the blockade.

Most of the remaining Japanese puppet troops remained in the stronghold, some patrolled and guarded, and some slept.

On both sides of the blockade ditch, three kilometers from the stronghold, more than a battalion of the Eighth Route Army lurked here, motionless and waiting for the moment of attack.

On the road in front of them, the patrol passes every half hour.

In the blockade ditch, two hundred meters away from them, there was a hidden soldier cave, and five devils and ten puppet soldiers hid inside, hiding and waiting.

The Eighth Route Army did not know about the existence of this ambush, so it only sent an infantry company to set up a guard position to block the possible reinforcements sent by the stronghold of Wanfeng Village.

"Start attacking!" Huang Sheng, commander of the Wei County Independent Battalion, ordered.

He wanted to secretly send a company into the blockade area of the Japanese puppet army tonight, and then create a false impression for the Japanese army: All the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the blockade area broke through and left the blockade area this night, confusing the Japanese puppet army that was sweeping inside, and creating conditions for the company to lurk in the blockade area.

Zhang Cheng, the commander of the first company, was the first to rush out of the latent position.

Bent over, holding the box cannon in his hand, he stared at the blockade ditch vigilantly, ready to lie down at any time.

The Japanese puppet army patrol had just passed, and it would come over in twenty minutes.

As long as everyone catches the next ten minutes, and is lucky enough, they will definitely be able to easily cross the blockade ditch and enter the blockade area without touching the mines in the blockade ditch.

Lady Luck doesn't seem to be on the side of the Independent Battalion tonight.

With the sound of a "bang......" gunshot, the quiet night was broken, and more than a dozen heads and a light machine gun suddenly appeared in the blockade ditch, which was still quiet just now.

"Fire cover, rush over in a row, kill them......" The Japanese puppet army that suddenly appeared scared Huang Sheng, and then quickly made a decision.

There were only fifteen Japanese puppet troops, and as soon as the heavy machine guns brought by the independent battalion fired, they were crushed in the blockade ditch, and then blown to pieces by a dozen grenades thrown in a row.

Huang Sheng didn't show a smile on his face, although the Japanese puppet army in front of him was wiped out, the time was delayed, and the troops were also exposed.

Three kilometers away, the stronghold of Wanfeng Village was already brightly lit, and the Japanese puppet army there must be gathering and preparing to reinforce here.

Moreover, the Japanese can place ambushes here, and there must be ambushes elsewhere.

They are closer to here, and they have less time to get there.

"Da Da Da ......"

Huang Sheng thought of this, and before he could remind the troops, gunshots rang out in the warning position.

As soon as his eyes widened, he shouted: "It must be other ambush soldiers of the Japanese puppet army hiding in the hidden soldier cave." ”

"There are not many of them, and the vigilant troops are determined to block them."

"A company immediately blew up the blockade ditch and the blockade wall, and smashed into the blockade area."

"Boom ......"

Explosions rang out one after another, as a company was using explosives packs to destroy the trench and the wall and open a passage in and out of the blockade area.

"Dada...... Boom Boom Boom ......"

The gunfire from the cordoned off became more and more dense, mixed with a lot of explosions in between.

Huang Sheng began to get anxious, and shouted loudly: "It must be the devils in the stronghold who have killed it, so that the speed of the company is a little faster." ”

In Huang Sheng's original battle plan, the battle to block the reinforcements of the Japanese puppet army would not begin until a few minutes later.

At that time, the first company had already entered the blockade area, and the local troops trapped in the blockade area also left the blockade area with the wounded to join themselves.

As long as the reinforcements of the Japanese puppet army see the local troops and the wounded retreat from the independent battalion convergence and breakthrough, the blocking troops on the alert position can be withdrawn, and the casualties of the troops will definitely be within a controllable range.

But people are not as good as heaven, the Japanese puppet army hiding in the hidden cave let the attacking troops be exposed in advance, and the reinforcements in the stronghold were also killed several minutes in advance.

Although the battle plan was not affected by this accident, the casualties of the blocking forces would certainly increase.

Huang Sheng became more and more anxious, his eyes glued to each other, praying that they would hurry.

Otherwise, if you delay here for one more minute, the casualties of the blocking troops will increase by one point.

"Battalion commander. A series of gaps opened. The instructor shouted, his eyes never leaving the ditch.

"Send a signal to the opposing troops to rush out." Huang Sheng ordered in a hurry.

One after another crossed the blockade ditch filled with gunsmoke and entered the blockade area.

A few minutes later, a unit burst out of the gap in the wall, carrying a number of lightly and seriously wounded.

"The guard platoon went up to respond, and the third company reinforced the second company, alternately covering the retreat." Huang Sheng continued to give orders.
