"Then let the little devil have no reinforcements available!" Zhang Cheng thought for a moment and replied.

"Instructor, the two of us are dividing our troops!

"You take a platoon of recruits, a squad of guards, a reconnaissance squad, a heavy machine gun platoon, and a mortar for the artillery platoon, and set off tonight to carry out activities in the vicinity of Zhongcun, attack the stronghold of Zhongcun, strike at the maintenance meeting there, use all the heavy machine guns and mortars, and play the posture of the main force."

The instructor's eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "This is a good solution!" ”

"Company commander, you are a typical voice attacking the west, transferring the little devil mobile unit to the Zhongcun stronghold, when we attacked the baggage team, the Guanshan Town stronghold wanted to send reinforcements but there were no soldiers available, so we could only watch the baggage team being killed by us."

"I'll go get ready now, and I'll leave after dark."

"I promise that tomorrow at dawn the devil will receive the news of the activities of our main force in the area of Zhongcun."

In the stronghold of the Japanese puppet army in Guanshan Town, Captain Yoshida has been doing one thing repeatedly for the past few days: looking at the map over and over again, searching for the Eighth Route Army hidden in the blockade area.

"Sir, the Zhongcun stronghold reports: They were attacked by the Eighth Route Army last night, and the other side used mortars and heavy machine guns." A second lieutenant rushed over to report.

"Zhong Village? Could it be that the Eighth Route Army ran over there? Captain Yoshida said to himself.

The second lieutenant immediately proposed, "Sir, do you want to send the mobile unit over?" Whether the Eighth Route Army has passed or not, they will find out by checking it. ”

"Don't rush yet, wait a little longer!" Captain Yoshida shook his head in refusal.

"Our opponents are too cunning, maybe this is another fight, what we see and hear is a false illusion that they deliberately made."

"Order the attacking troops to stay put, if the main force of the Eighth Route Army really goes to Zhongcun, there must be other actions. You are responsible for keeping in touch with the Zhongcun stronghold, and if they continue to be attacked by the Eighth Route Army, the mobile force will attack again, with the Zhongcun stronghold as the center, and sweep the Eighth Route Army there. ”

At ten o'clock in the morning, the phone connecting the Zhongcun stronghold rang again.

The second lieutenant grabbed the microphone and listened for less than a minute before rushing to the squadron leader's office.

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army we are looking for is in Zhongcun."

"An hour ago, the patrol sent out by the Zhongcun stronghold was attacked, and three imperial troops and five imperial allied troops were all killed."

"Judging by the gunfire, the Eighth Route Army, which attacked them, dispatched at least one infantry platoon."

"Also, in addition to the attack on the stronghold last night, the two nearby maintenance associations were also terminated by the Eighth Route Army."

"After reconnaissance, it was determined that the Eighth Route Army that attacked the maintenance meeting also had an infantry platoon."

Captain Yoshida's brows, which had been twisted for several days, finally eased up: "A feint attack on the stronghold is an infantry platoon, as well as mortars and heavy machine guns to participate in the battle, and the attack will be maintained by two platoons, adding up to exactly one company." ”

"After looking for so long, I finally caught the fox's tail."

"Order: The mobile troops will set off immediately with five days of combat supplies, enter the Zhongcun stronghold, and destroy the Eighth Route Army there."

The next morning, the stronghold in Guanshan Town received good news from the attacking troops.

"Sir, report from the attacking troops: This morning they exchanged fire with a main platoon of the Eighth Route Army, eliminating one of their infantry squads."

"Sir, the Zhongcun stronghold reported that they have found traces of the activities of the Eighth Route Army south of Zhongcun, and the attack force has been dispatched."

Two pieces of good news in a row came to his ears, like a shot in the arm, which made Captain Yoshida completely relaxed, and the worries on his face disappeared.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a smile flashed.

The deputy captain seized the opportunity to compliment and said: "Sir, these discoveries prove that your judgment is right, the Eighth Route Army we are looking for is in Zhongcun, no wonder we have searched around Zhouzhuang before and we can't find any trace of their activities." ”

Captain Yoshida was very useful, and the smile on his face became even thicker, and he replied with a smug face: "No matter how cunning a fox is, he can't escape the eyes of a hunter." ”

"Now that the Eighth Route Army we are looking for has appeared, we can't let them slip away again this time no matter what."

"Order the mobile troops, find and then kill the Eighth Route Army there at all costs."

At this time, another second lieutenant rushed in: "Sir, the military rations and supplies for the Zhouzhuang stronghold have been prepared. ”

All Captain Yoshida's mind was thinking about how the mobile force would destroy the Eighth Route Army.

For the transport team, which had never had an accident, he didn't think much about it at all, and ordered directly.

"Let's go when you're ready, go and come back quickly."

Qidouchong is seven kilometers away from the stronghold of Guanshan Town, and it is the only way to go from Guanshan Town to Zhouzhuang.

The highway passes through here, with a blockade ditch and a blockade wall built by devils on one side, and a cracked ground on the other, and a mountain ridge more than ten meters high only rises five hundred meters away.

In order to prevent the target from being exposed, Zhang Cheng lay in ambush behind the mountain ridge and stared at the road from afar.

"Company commander, the little devil transport team is here, a total of five carts. Eleven little devils and thirty puppet army escort cars escorted the escort. The scout rushed over and reported.

"After laying out for so long, the prey has finally taken the bait!" Zhang Cheng's eyes shot out two rays of light, and he ordered decisively.

"A platoon of reinforcements that may be killed in Guanshan Town, retreat an hour after the battle starts, and during the battle, not a single devil can cross them into the ambush battlefield."

"The second platoon blocked the Japanese puppet army from the stronghold of Zhouzhuang, and the task is the same."

"The others followed me to attack the imp convoy."

Ten minutes later, the convoy appeared at the end of the road, with more than forty Japanese puppet soldiers escorting on both sides of the cart, with very poor vigilance, all of them carrying rifles on their backs and light machine guns on their shoulders.

In the blockade ditch on the other side of the road, two people appeared from time to time to greet them, and it was the observation post of the Japanese puppet army lurking in the blockade ditch.

If someone approaches the blockade ditch, make sure to react as soon as possible and alert the nearby ambush soldiers.

It was because of them that the troops lay in ambush five hundred meters away.

Seeing the convoy enter the pocket formation, Zhang Guo decisively ordered: "Heavy machine gun fire, let's rush over......"

Before he finished speaking, the whole person jumped up from the ground, held a box cannon, and rushed towards the road like a leopard.

"Da Da Da ......" three heavy machine guns fired together.

Although the firing distance was a bit far, the heavy machine gun fire was too fierce, and the Japanese puppet army was not prepared, so they were caught off guard and fell six or seven people in an instant.

"Enemy attack, everyone hides behind the grain truck to counterattack!" Cao Chang, the little devil who led the team, squatted behind the grain truck and shouted while loading the rifle.

Then he slowly poked his head out from behind the grain truck, raised his rifle, and fired a bullet at the Eighth Route Army that had already rushed out.

A fighter fell in response to the attack on the way.

But this did not change the situation of the battle, the firepower of the three heavy machine guns fired together was too fierce, the bullets were powerful and penetrating, and for many days the puppet army was suppressed behind the grain truck, and there was no chance to raise their heads.

The "Boom Boom Boom ......" mortar also joined the battle, and three shells fell from the sky, one of which, by chance, smashed right behind a large cart.

In the explosion, the five subordinates were like papier-mâché toys, which were blown away in an instant, and they fell to the ground and did not get up again.

"Scattered and hidden, the enemy still has mortars!" Cao Chang began to panic, and pretended to be calm and ordered.

"Machine guns and grenadiers fired cover to block the rushing Eighth Route Army."

"The riflemen are also shooting, there are our ambushes in the blockade ditch, they will come to reinforce us immediately, and we will survive in ten minutes."
