Outside a town less than ten kilometers away from Linfen City, a total of eleven Eighth Route Army troops had been nesting in a ravine for more than two hours.

As the night deepened, the town, which had still had some sporadic lights, became completely dark.

Of course, the Japanese puppet army stronghold standing at the entrance of the town did not follow the darkness.

On the top of the turret in the middle of the stronghold, two huge searchlights shone back and forth around the stronghold, preventing anyone from approaching the stronghold.

However, the stronghold was too big, and there were many places they needed to inspect, and every half a minute, they could take a picture around the stronghold.

As a transportation artery that must be passed to Linfen City, this stronghold was originally stationed a reinforced squadron of devils and a battalion of the Imperial Cooperative Army.

However, in order to gather more troops to participate in the sweep, coupled with the fact that it is close to Linfen City, after the sweep begins, this place will become a thorough rear, and the Japanese army directly evacuated the troops here, leaving a combat detachment of devils and a reinforced platoon of the puppet army to watch home.

And tonight, the eleven Eighth Route Army troops outside the town plan to kill the stronghold.

They were action teams that Wang Ping had sent to the rear of the Japanese army a few days earlier, and each action team had a company-level cadre from a direct subordinate team and an infantry squad.

They have been eyeing the stronghold of the Japanese puppet army for two days.

"Captain, are you ready to get started!" The original infantry squad leader, the current deputy captain of the action team, asked with excitement on his face before the battle.

"Wait a little longer, act at one o'clock in the morning, fight quickly, and then quickly retreat with the captured and prisoners, fight for an hour to end the battle and then retreat. In this case, the devil reinforcements in Linfen City will not be able to touch us even if they kill us. ”

"In a while, Lao Wang, you and I will take the lead, you know some kung fu, and strive to bring everyone into the stronghold quietly!"

"Fight the devil first, then fight the puppet army, and the puppet army will try to capture as many prisoners as possible~ Tonight, we can turn a squad into a platoon without waiting, maybe we will have to rely on this stronghold!"

As the night gets deeper, so does the temperature.

In the first half of the night, two Japanese were still guarding the top of the turret to manipulate the searchlight, and in the second half of the night, they were directly replaced by four puppet soldiers.

In the eyes of all the Japanese puppet soldiers, it was very safe here.

There were only twelve attacks from the heavily defended Linfen City, and more than 10,000 imperial troops were encircling and suppressing the base area of the Eighth Route Army.

The four puppet soldiers were very cold, and although the light of the searchlight was circling around outside the stronghold, their eyes did not follow the light. Instead, he squatted in the corner of the turret and gathered around a pile of charcoal fire to keep warm.

More than 40 Japanese puppet troops, except for those who rest in shifts, only one squad of puppet troops in the entire stronghold is still awake.

A squad of puppet troops, even if they have hands and eyes to the sky, it is impossible to see such a large stronghold.

Therefore, as long as the searchlight is avoided, the captain of the direct team and the deputy captain who knows some kung fu can quietly approach the stronghold.

Crossing the trench that surrounded the stronghold and climbing over the brick wall, two men entered the stronghold.

Quietly touched the door of the stronghold, opened the gate of the stronghold from the inside, and the two puppet soldiers guarding the door of the stronghold thought that the shift change was coming, and there was no vigilance.

However, when the door was opened, the two men did not see a single person.

Then he subconsciously wanted to go in and have a look, and as soon as he turned around and walked to the door, two pistols pressed against their waists, and two faint voices sounded behind them.

"Don't move, don't scream, or I'll kill you!"

"I promise not to move!" The two puppet soldiers are playing with guns, although they don't clearly see what weapon is against them, but they can feel that it must be the barrel of what gun!

"Bang~"

Two slight crashes rang in their ears, and the two puppet soldiers were knocked unconscious.

Entering the stronghold, eleven people went directly into the Japanese dormitory.

A dagger or a bayonet for each person, as long as he saw a person, he stabbed him, and in less than a minute, more than a dozen devils were all killed, and the thick smell of blood quickly spread in the room.

Eleven people, including the captain, although no one died, two fighters were seriously wounded and carried out by their comrades.

"Let's go, go to the puppet army dormitory and capture all the puppet soldiers!"

The captain, who originally thought he would be able to use a gun, didn't expect the whole operation to go so smoothly.

All the Japanese soldiers were killed, four puppet soldiers died, and the remaining 28 puppet soldiers were all taken prisoner.

That night, a total of fifteen such strongholds were taken by the action team.

Although many strongholds were shot, because each captain of the action team was from a direct team and could speak Japanese, he directly told Linfencheng by phone that he had been attacked by the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army and had been repulsed.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Lieutenant General Ito was smiling at an antique vase he had just collected.

The chief of staff hurriedly ran in and reported with a solemn face: "Division commander, something happened to the stronghold outside the city!" ”

"At eight o'clock in the morning, we made routine contact with the strongholds outside the city, several strongholds did not move, we sent cavalry to confirm, eight strongholds have been ransacked, all the imperial troops have been killed, most of the imperial army has been captured, and all the food, weapons and ammunition in the stronghold have been emptied."

"What, there is such a thing?" Lieutenant General Ito got up from his seat with a single rub.

"Bang la la~" He was also frightened that the domestic ceramics in his hand fell directly to the ground and turned into fragments.

At this moment, he suddenly reacted: "Last night's gunfire was caused by the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack on those strongholds?" ”

"Quite possibly!" The chief of staff affirmed.

"Then why don't we send reinforcements, the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army is blocked by us in their base area, and it is absolutely impossible for the main force to cross our blockade line. Therefore, last night's offensive department of our Eighth Route Army was definitely just some stragglers, as long as our reinforcements killed them, even if it was an infantry squadron, they could kill them and hold the stronghold! ”

The chief of staff shook his head and replied: "I asked the staff officers on duty, and they called those strongholds, and the strongholds reported: It was indeed attacked, but the attackers have been repulsed!" ”

"Then why did the stronghold still be lost!" Lieutenant General Ito shouted!

"The lowly position is not very clear, but the lowly position has ordered the reconnaissance unit and the intelligence department to find out about this matter immediately!" The chief of staff hesitated and replied!

"Check, you must find out, I want the result tonight!" Lieutenant General Ito commanded murderously.

Fifty kilometers away, the Japanese 5th Infantry Brigade easily occupied a village, and then began to camp outside the village!

"Sir, the tent of the headquarters has been set up, you can go directly to the tent, and I will have someone make your dinner as soon as possible!" The adjutant walked up to Miyamoto Shaosa and reported.

"Okay......" Miyamoto replied with a nod.

Then he ordered: "Remember to arrange patrols and guard posts." If nothing else, the Eighth Route Army will continue to attack us tonight! ”

"Hey!" The adjutant replied immediately.
