"Captain, the Eighth Route Army that attacked us must have fled, and our fire counterattack has no effect!" An ensign squad leader ran over and reported.

"Guerrilla warfare, this must be the guerrilla warfare that the Eighth Route Army is good at, retreat when you fight! Eight Grid Tooth Road, they are too cunning, we still have to speed up the march, otherwise there are warriors who will die in their sneak attack! Captain Akino immediately made a judgment, and then ordered with a frown.

"Could it be that the Imperial Army of Japan has no way to counterattack in the face of the Tubalu guerrilla warfare!" The squad leader shouted with an unwilling face.

This devil squad leader has always been on the front line fighting against the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army, and he has never been so aggrieved. It is simply a shame that he lost several imperial troops, but the enemy did not lose a single one, and he fled!

The squad leader's questioning made Akino very dissatisfied, and replied with a frown: "The Imperial Japanese Army is invincible, of course there is a way to fight back." ”

"As soon as the guerrilla warfare of the Eighth Route Army appeared on the battlefield, the imperial army thought of a solution! Concentrate superior firepower to counterattack, then send out troops to surround these sneak attackers in a roundabout way, and finally annihilate them completely! ”

"On the battlefield, the Imperial Army has used this method to counterattack the guerrilla warfare of the Eighth Route Army, and as long as the terrain is suitable, the counterattack effect is still very good!"

The squad leader immediately said: "Captain, that humble duty will immediately lead two combat detachments to outflank these Eighth Route Army and avenge the warriors who died in battle!" ”

"Smack!" Akino didn't hesitate to slap the squad leader, and then scolded under his incredulous gaze.

"Yaga, are you a stupid pig? If I can fight back and eliminate these sneak attackers, don't I want to avenge the warriors who died in battle? You have forgotten the order given to us by His Excellency the General, and bring as many Imperial Army warriors back to Laiyuan City as possible in the shortest possible time. Don't you know that the longer we stay here, the more dangerous it can be! Also, don't just think about revenge, is the Eighth Route Army so stupidly waiting for you to retaliate, do you dare to guarantee that when you fight back, the Eighth Route Army has no other traps waiting for you? Eight grid tooth road! ”

"Pass my order, and the troops continue to rush in the direction of the county seat, as soon as possible. Machine gunners, grenadiers, ready for battle at any time. If they are attacked by the Eighth Route Army again, they will directly counterattack with fire without my order and repel them! ”

After taking out two combat squads to take turns to sneak attack the devil's return to the city, Zhang Qing personally took the others to sneak attack the receiving troops of the devil who had just left the city.

More than 80 devils, carrying heavy machine guns and mortars, hurried forward in a rapid marching posture.

When choosing a sneak attack position, all the places within 500 meters of the city gate were ignored by Zhang Qing.

It was so close to the city gate that the devil stood on the city wall, condescending, and could see the area with a telescope. In the past, not to mention whether he could successfully attack the devils, he first had to face the test of the devils' heavy machine guns on the city wall.

In the end, Zhang Qing chose a cornfield nearly 700 meters away from the city gate for the sneak attack.

Because the withered yellow corn stalks were still growing on the ground, Zhang Qing and a dozen soldiers easily hid in it!

"The machine gunner stares at the devil heavy machine gunner to fight, and the others aim at the devil rifleman, two bullets per person, and retreat after the fight!" Zhang Qing ordered decisively.

The more than eighty devils who went out of the city could not have imagined that the Eighth Route Army would attack them right under their noses.

When the gunshots rang out, none of the devils remained vigilant, and everyone stared ahead and hurried, thinking about quickly catching up with the troops returning to the city.

Therefore, the bullets fired by the machine gun swept over in a burst, and there were four devil machine gunners on the spot, and the Type 92 on their shoulders fell on the road with people.

In addition, the machine gunner reacted a little slower than the rifleman, and when the others lay down and fought back, three more devils were knocked down.

The bullets fired by the thirteen three-eight big covers, because the distance was too far, hit the three devils in the first round. The thirteen bullets in the second round flew away all of them against the devil's scalp. Despite the lack of results, the fluttering bullets still scared the devils and slowed them down.

"Yaga, machine gunner, immediately launch a fire counterattack, and the enemy is hiding in the cornfield!" The lieutenant who led the team commanded loudly ordered at the cornfield.

Zhang Qing also issued a retreat order at the same time: "Retreat, don't care about the devils, retreat to the depths of the cornfield, their bullets can't hit us!" ”

Although the devil gathered a ninety-two and two crooked handles to fight back at once, the dense bullets broke a large area of corn stalks at once. But there were so many corn stalks behind the fighters that few bullets could pass through the obstacles and shoot into the soldiers' bodies.

The three machine guns fired for half a minute, and the lieutenant, with a gloomy face, ordered the machine guns to stop, knowing that the bullets had no effect on the Eighth Route Army hiding in the cornfield.

He ordered the grenadiers to shoot a few grenades into the cornfield, and vented his anger fiercely. Then he ordered the troops to abandon the corpses and continue on their way!

By this time, Captain Akino had already been subjected to a second sneak attack by the Eighth Route Army, although the Japanese machine gunners reacted quickly. But Qiu Ye didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army, which attacked him this time, would only stare at his machine gunners.

After the instant loss of four machine gunners and two riflemen, three of the four crooked handles directly became ineffective.

By the time the sub-shooter hurriedly took over the machine gun and began to counterattack, the sneak attack troops had already slipped away.

Ono finally joined up with the receiving troops on the official road more than a kilometer away from Laiyuan City, and only one team of the receiving troops of a reinforced squad was left. The two infantry squads in his own hands also lost nearly half of the squads.

"Yaga, Akino-kun, we can't let the earth eight continue to be arrogant, otherwise we will lose a lot of warriors on the next road! We must fight back, destroy them, or at least hold them back, and prevent them from continuing to attack us! As soon as he understood the situation, the lieutenant who received the unit proposed with a face full of grievances.

"But the orders of His Excellency the General? If the counterattacking forces are also ambushed and suffer heavy losses, we will not be able to account for it to the general! ”

The lieutenant immediately proposed: "We can provide fire cover and order the Imperial Allied Army to counterattack." Even if their combat effectiveness is not very good, it is still no problem to drag down the Tubalu sneak attack troops! ”

Qiu Ye's frowning brows immediately relaxed, and he replied with satisfaction: "Yo Xi, just do it, I almost forgot about the Imperial Army!" ”

The two Japanese forces converged, as did Zhang Qing's separate sneak attack troops.

"Comrades, in addition to continuing to kill the devils, we also have a task to find a way to let the devils leave the supplies they carried!" Zhang Qing gave an astonishing order!

"Impossible!" This was the first reaction of several squad leaders.

There are so many Japanese puppet troops around the baggage cart, unless they are all stupid, or they are completely annihilated, it is impossible to leave the supplies for themselves.

And the above two possibilities, with the current strength in Zhang Qing's hands, it is impossible to do it.

"Nothing is impossible!" Zhang Qing replied in the affirmative.

"Next, I'm going to give the devils a larger-scale sneak attack, three machine guns, still the old rules, shoot at places where there are many devils. The riflemen did not hit people this time, but beat the mules and horses, and killed all the mules and horses pulled by the Japanese puppet army! ”

"Without mules and horses, devils can let people push carts away, company commander, I think this is a waste of bullets, it's better to kill a few more devils!" Zhou Zhengyang, the leader of the second platoon, put forward his own ideas.
