"Quick, quick, quick, comrades, work harder, our weapons are not as good as the little devils, but our iron feet are stronger than the little devils." The poorly equipped troops of the Eighth Route Army also gathered in Handan one after another, and if we count the troops of the Jin Sui Army that were ordered to support and the headquarters of the new Second Army that went north, the number of Chinese troops assembled on the outskirts of Handan has exceeded 40,000, and this also makes Okamura Ninji think that his judgment is accurate.

"Boss, you can let us go, the living can wait, but the dead can't wait." A funeral team was stopped by the Imperial Association Army at the checkpoint, and the eyelids of the leader of the Imperial Association Army squad on the checkpoint who looked at the funeral procession of twenty or thirty people for no reason jumped in front of him. The dozens of Japanese soldiers at the checkpoint also looked at it with interest, especially the Japanese soldier Cao Chang, who had to check the coffin that was being carried.

"Boss, boss, you can help tell Taijun that the coffin can't be opened if it's already on the board." The middle-aged man with a miserable face hunched his waist and smiling with the captain of the Imperial Cooperative Army, saying that it was his wife who had just passed away in the coffin. The Japanese puppet army on the checkpoint doesn't care about this, they have nothing to do here every day, and they finally encounter something of interest, how can they let it go so easily.

"I said, don't grind with me here, Taijun said, you must check this coffin today. Don't make it difficult for me, if you upset the princes, I guess someone will give you a funeral. Turning around and glancing at the Japanese commander Cao standing behind him, the captain of the Imperial Cooperative Army patted the pistol holster on the waist of the middle-aged man, and then waved his hand and shouted, asking the people carrying the coffin to put the coffin down for inspection.

The middle-aged man who had been hunched over and said good things flashed a trace of fierceness in his eyes, and when he raised his hand to wipe his tears, he secretly glanced at the crowd behind him, and when the Japanese soldier Cao Chang approached the coffin, he suddenly raised his foot and kicked on the coffin. "Nani?" Cao Chang, a Japanese soldier who was facing the coffin, was stunned, only to see that the coffin baffle facing him suddenly fell, and a familiar object probed out of the coffin, "The enemy attack, it's a machine gun." The Japanese soldier Cao Chang shouted at the top of his voice, but his shouts were quickly drowned out by the sound of gunfire.

A rapid chain of fire erupted from the coffin, and the first to be torn to pieces by the barrage was the Japanese army Cao Chang and the captain of the Imperial Army, while the machine gun sprayed the gun flame, the funeral procession that was originally around the coffin suddenly dispersed, and then saw more than a dozen grenades that had been opened and flew towards the level. There was a burst of "boom" and "boom", and smoke and flames continued to rise on the checkpoint, and before the smoke dispersed, the guerrillas disguised as funeral processions rushed into the checkpoint and swept away the Japanese puppet troops who were not on guard at all.

"Quick, quick, hurry up and clean up the battlefield, and take everything we can with us." Under the command of the middle-aged man, this small team of more than 20 people quickly cleaned up the battlefield and disappeared into the field with all the supplies they could find. About half an hour later, the Japanese puppet army reinforcements who rushed to hear the news arrived from the county seat, but unfortunately, the attackers had long been gone, leaving them only a checkpoint burned to ashes by the fire and corpses piled together.

"Damn it, damn it." The Japanese second lieutenant who led the team to the rescue was furious, especially after he saw the corpses of the Imperial soldiers who had been stripped naked like pigs, and he was even more angry and swung his knife to cut off a wooden stake. Unfortunately, the attacker had already fled, and he could only vent his anger with a stake that could not speak. "Collect the corpses, we will be the county seat." The second lieutenant ordered the corpse to be collected, and the Japanese puppet soldiers rushed up to move the corpse from the pile of corpses.

There was a loud "boom", and before the guerrillas left, the explosives placed under the pile of corpses were triggered to explode. The explosion of 10 kilograms of high explosives was extremely horrific, and the shells and stones that the guerrillas deliberately added to the corpses made the explosion several times more powerful. The three secret arsenals in Shanxi provide hundreds of catties of high explosives to the guerrilla units penetrating deep into Hebei every month.

Make-up attacks are only a common method in guerrilla warfare, and in fact, the guerrilla units are best at ambush warfare, relying on the information collected by the local intelligence network, and the guerrillas will rely on the familiar terrain to carry out ambush warfare against small units of the Japanese puppet army. has been in ambush here for more than three hours, the recruit pony has been a little unable to hold on, and when he looked around, pony quietly asked the squad leader next to him, "squad leader, how long do we have to wait?" It's almost noon. ”

Cao Tiancheng, the squad leader, was a Hebei veteran who was drawn from the former national army, and their guerrilla force was encircled and suppressed by the Japanese puppet army last month. "Shut up, you kid, I smashed what I told you during training, and I can't talk when I'm ambushing. Without the captain's order, we will have to wait here, the little devil will not appear, you ask me, what can I do. Cao Tiancheng's heart was actually holding back the fire, he had been waiting all morning, but the Japanese puppet army mentioned in the intelligence had not yet appeared.

Time passed little by little while waiting, and just when the pony was already groggy and about to fall asleep, Cao Tiancheng, who was lying on his stomach beside him, suddenly shouted in a low voice, "Cheer up, the little devil will come soon." Cao Tiancheng's low cheer made Xiao Ma and the others immediately come to their senses, and while checking their weapons according to Cao Tiancheng's orders, everyone was engrossed in looking through the blades of grass in front of them to the road under the slope.

Cao Tiancheng's ambush site is a slope near the highway, and there are many slopes like this on both sides of the road. The number of Japanese puppet soldiers who came out of the county town was small, and the intelligence showed that this group of Japanese puppet soldiers came out to collect food, and through the blades of grass, the pony silently counted the number of Japanese puppet troops he saw. There were a total of 34 enemies, including 12 Japanese soldiers, 20 Imperial Allied troops, and two plainclothes traitors with short guns.

This time, you must get yourself a 38 big cover for the little devil, Xiaoma is a recruit, and he uses a Hanyang-made rifle with a fast rifling, and he is very envious of the semi-automatic rifle in the hand of the squad leader Cao Tiancheng. Knowing that kind of semi-automatic rifle, he couldn't use it in his turn, so he retreated to the second thing and fell in love with the Japanese-style 38 rifle, at least in the guerrilla zone, the ammunition of the Japanese rifle was guaranteed.

Cao Tiancheng slowly moved the muzzle of the gun, and always locked the Japanese soldier Cao Chang who was sitting in a big car on the road, but without the signal from the captain, he couldn't shoot. The Japanese puppet army on the highway looked a little lazy, not only did they not discharge the top soldiers, but some of the Imperial Association troops who followed the cart even put their rifles on the cart. "Boom" and "Boom" two explosions sounded, and two pillars of smoke rose from the originally silent road, and in the smoke rising into the air, the ponies who were ambushed on the slope could clearly see the red blood mist and the broken fragments of the earthy yellow military uniform.

"Slap" Cao Tiancheng, who had been waiting for a long time, fired the first shot, and the pony and others who were ambushed beside him came back to their senses, and they also clanged out the bullets in the chamber. The two mines planted by the guerrillas on the road first blew up two large trucks of the Japanese puppet army into pieces, and killed several Japanese puppet soldiers. After Cao Tiancheng's first round of shooting, there were only 14 Japanese puppet soldiers scattered on the highway who raised their guns and fired back, of which only 6 were Japanese soldiers.

"Pay attention to concealment, don't shoot if you're not sure, remember to hide, don't poke your head out and make a target for the little devil." Half of this group of Japanese puppet soldiers had already been killed in one face, and Cao Tiancheng's new ones that had been hanging finally fell to the ground, and then shouted at the pony and their recruits, teaching them battlefield experience on the spot. The partisans, who had the advantage of the terrain, deliberately slowed down their tempo, and after successfully shooting two more Japanese soldiers, the guerrillas began to shout that the remaining soldiers of the Imperial Allied Army should surrender anyway.

The Japanese puppet soldiers who were attacked could only use the cart as a cover to shoot back, but as the battle continued, there were fewer and fewer Japanese puppet soldiers still alive, especially the Japanese soldiers were only 4. The guerrillas began to shout, and the remaining soldiers of the Imperial Allied Army moved their minds, the situation in front of them was obviously unfavorable to them, and they were stupidly following the Japanese soldiers, so they could only be killed by the guerrillas.

The guerrillas' shouting was only repeated three times, and Cao Tiancheng and his team heard a burst of gunfire on the road, and the cunning Japanese soldiers did not wait for the Imperial Allied Army to temporarily counterattack, so they took the first action. Although the four Japanese soldiers killed all the remaining nine Imperial Concordants, they themselves were killed by two of them, and only two of the Japanese soldiers who were still alive were left, and one of them was wounded.

An ambush battle soon came to an end, and when the Japanese puppet soldiers at the scene heard the news, all they were left with was blood all over the ground and a treacherous thunder in the pile of corpses, and the guerrillas had already fled. When the "Bageya Road" learned that the North China Theater was full of flames and the Japanese puppet army had suffered heavy losses, Okamura Ninji was furious, and it seemed that overnight, the desperate guerrilla forces that had been encircled and suppressed by the North China Front Army had revived, and in just three days, they had already caused losses of up to several thousand to the Japanese puppet army in the North China occupation zone, which was absolutely unacceptable to Okamura Ninji.

The guerrillas were attacking in the enemy-occupied areas of North China on a large scale, and this was at the behest of the Joint Command, which learned that Okamura Ninji had mobilized heavy troops with the intention of finding a new army for a decisive battle, so the Joint Command ordered the guerrillas to attack in all directions. The joint command did not expect the guerrillas to recover North China, they just wanted to use the continuous attacks of the guerrillas to divert Okamura Ninji's attention a little, and it would be best if they could confuse this old devil.
