The devils used three divisions to carry out a large-scale sweep of the occupied areas this time, and such a powerful force was not something that their small physique of the Xinqing detachment could stop, so they had to temporarily avoid the devil's edge and hide in the mountains again.

For such a large-scale sweep, the Xinqing detachment really has no better way than to strengthen its vigilance and be ready to evacuate and transfer at any time.

In late December, the devils carried out more than a month of military adjustment and assembly, and the Japanese puppet army's sweep of the occupied areas began.

The Xinqing detachment can only be regarded as a very inconspicuous little miscellaneous fish in the eyes of the devil, although they usually don't have much energy to care about them, but this time when they took full force to go out, they naturally wanted to solve it together.

The devil sent two squads, with the cooperation of more than 900 Xincheng puppet troops, to encircle and suppress the Xinqing detachment in the mountainous area.

Although this Japanese puppet army is not as strong as the last time, it is not something that the Xinqing detachment can resist, and the Xinqing detachment has to move to the mountains.

Zhang Yunfei's independent squadron showed strong combat effectiveness, naturally leaving behind the task of breaking off and diverting the Japanese puppet army, and allowing them to wait for an opportunity to attack the enemy.

After all, most of the people who attacked this time were puppet armies, and the Eighth Route Army always treated the puppet army as a soft persimmon. Many of Zhang Yunfei's battles were fought with the puppet army, the puppet army's combat effectiveness was much worse than that of the devil, and the Eighth Route Army, which was short of guns and ammunition, could be supplemented with ammunition and weapons and equipment by attacking these puppet armies with a weak will to fight, and Zhang Yunfei's own troops grew up step by step.

And the elimination of the puppet army, can make the devil lose the cooperation of the puppet army, and thus lose control of the occupied area, although the combat power of the puppet army is not good, but it is a good way to help the devil master and manage the occupied area, after all, the devil is a small island country, and the lack of troops is always a big problem for them.

For the devils, the land area of China is too large, if you want to keep enough mobile troops in your hands, the strength of the stronghold is seriously insufficient, and if you want to ensure absolute control over the occupied areas, you need to invest a large number of troops, which produces contradictions, so the devils mainly rely on the puppet army in the occupied areas.

Moreover, the devils are always outsiders to this land, and without the cooperation of the local puppet army traitors who have taken refuge in them, they are a group of deaf and blind people, and they do not have the ability to control the vast occupied areas on their own.

With the expansion of the occupied area, the devils' laziness on the puppet army, which is a local snake arm, is also increasing day by day, and these puppet troops not only cooperate with them to fight, but also cooperate with them to collect food, so as to achieve their goal of feeding the war with war.

The devils want to use the puppet army, but they have to guard against them from the bones, and they control the weapons and ammunition of the puppet army very strictly, basically what weapons and equipment they carry when they surrender, and what equipment they equip themselves, and the devils rarely supplement them with a large number of weapons.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the puppet army is not strong, and some of them are deliberately done by the devils, after all, the devils only need them to maintain local law and order and coordinate operations, and if the combat effectiveness is too strong, it will become a disaster once they mutiny.

And if you maintain this incompetent state, even if something goes wrong, you can suppress it in a short time.

Compared with the devils with high military quality and extremely difficult to bite, these puppet armies are weak in combat effectiveness. They are actually peasants with guns, although their combat effectiveness is not strong, but they are familiar with the local terrain and people's conditions, so sometimes the harm is greater than that of devils.

Therefore, when the Eighth Route Army fought against the Japanese puppet army, they regarded these puppet armies as their main combat targets, which could not only capture equipment and strengthen themselves, but also eliminate the eyes and ears of the devils.

The puppet army in various places is equivalent to the fortune boy of the Eighth Route Army, this time eight or nine hundred puppet troops entered the mountain at once, and they were all greedy, but unfortunately they didn't have such good teeth, and they couldn't eat it all at once.

But just looking at it, but not eating, there is always a little unwillingness, Zhang Yunfei still wants to deal with this group of Japanese puppet soldiers, but he can't think of a way for a while.

More than 1,000 puppet troops, the number alone is more than ten times that of their own independent squadron, and now the total number of Xinqing detachment is not more than 400 people, and the vast majority of them are recruits who have not been on the battlefield, many of them are still carrying red tassel guns, compared with this group of Japanese puppet army, the number is not superior, and the weapons and equipment are not superior, in the case of such a huge disparity in strength and firepower, how to fight this battle.

And he is only the leader of an independent squadron, not the leader of the detachment, and he has no ability to let the entire detachment pull calves with him.

The task given to them by the detachment was to block the enemy and delay the enemy, but he was thinking about how to destroy the enemy, Zhang Yunfei couldn't help but laugh, it seemed that he had won several battles, and he was a little floating.

Now everyone doesn't have any good ideas, so they all look at Zhang Yunfei, hoping that he can get an idea, after several battles, he, the military commander, has won the absolute trust of everyone.

Seeing everyone looking at him with some trust, Zhang Yunfei, who had no choice, could only smile bitterly, and wanted to shout: "Brothers, the wind is tight, withdraw"

Of course, for the sake of his own image, he could only sigh and say: "Since this group of Japanese puppet troops went into the mountains to encircle and suppress us, then we will spend it with him. ”

Zhang Yunfei, who really couldn't think of a way, could only sacrifice the Eighth Route Army's housekeeping skills to attack and disturb the war: "These little devils are tossing blindly in the winter, don't want us to have a good time, and we don't let them have a good time, in this way, the troops are divided into squads, everyone attacks each other day and night, shoots black guns, throws grenades, we will fight the vanguard of the Japanese puppet army during the day, and hit their sentry posts at night, if they dare to chase, we will lead them to walk in the mountains, if there is only a small force to pursue, we will eat them together." ”

After saying his tactical ideas in one breath, Zhang Yunfei was a little secretly ashamed, as the commander of the Eighth Route Army, this set of guerrilla tactics should be his own natural skills, but so far, he really hasn't used it, he always fights with the Japanese puppet army, at least he has fought the fortress fortification defense war that the Eighth Route Army is not good at, but this guerrilla warfare method has been forgotten by himself and rarely used.

After all, for the Eighth Route Army, this set of tactics is the most effective way to strike at the enemy when the weapons and equipment are inferior.
