Now Yoshida Masanobu can't get off the stage, he asks for help in his personal capacity and no one pays attention to it, so he can't turn his head and report to his superiors, let his superiors coordinate.

No one in the surrounding area was attacked, but he was the only one who was attacked, which is easy to say and not good, and it is geographically located in the middle ground.

This is a typical persimmon picking up a soft pinch, and it was easily pinched by someone, which is shameful enough in itself, and then ask the superior for guidance, then really don't want to face.

So the face he lost can only be earned back by himself, the devils are all guys who want to save face, Yoshida Masanobu was really forced into a corner, obviously the troops were insufficient, and he had to send troops to retaliate.

At this time, Yoshida Masanobu led a squad of devils and two battalions of puppet soldiers to pursue northward with great momentum, looking like he would not stop destroying Zhang Yunfei, a despicable sneak attacker.

Of course, it is just for show, in the words of Uno Motora, this is just the usual retaliation method of the imperial army, and it has no substantive meaning except to vent and demonstrate.

Yoshida Masanobu also knew the real purpose of his trip, so when he transferred troops, he only transferred one squad of imperial troops and two battalions of security forces.

This is the largest force that Xiang Yuan can take, the sweep of the imperial army, and many local garrison forces have been transferred, and now he only has a squadron of troops in his hands.

The stronghold was attacked before, and the imperial army had broken dozens of warriors, and the county town had to leave at least a small team of troops, and there were some important town strongholds, so we had to send a few imperial troops to defend it.

There is no one for such a point, the strength of this squad is still made up by him, and the same is true of the security army, the previous attack, the security army was the main force of casualties.

In addition, the combat strength of this group of security forces is not strong, and the remaining strongholds are naturally slightly more, if those guys come back and forth, they will not be able to retaliate at that time, and their hometown will be ended.

If someone succeeds in another sneak attack, it will not be a matter of face, and the inside will be gone.

Therefore, Yoshida did not dare to send too many security forces out, and now they can only scrape together such a small number of troops.

This amount of strength is not good for a big battle, but it is more than enough to deal with the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, and Yoshida still has this bit of self-confidence.

Now that the Central Army has retreated to the south of the Yellow River, the main force of the Eighth Route Army has also been blocked in the area north of the Hanchang Line, and the Eighth Route in Taiyue and southern Hebei is also being encircled and suppressed.

Moreover, this group of Eight Roads specializes in picking on weaknesses, and it can be seen from their abandonment of attacking large strongholds that there will not be too many Eight Ways troops to sneak attack themselves.

So it's best to let yourself find this sneak attacker as soon as possible and call it a day, so that he can get by on the face, and this matter is over.

If it weren't for this matter, at this time, whoever is willing to move, who doesn't see the guys around him, is unwilling to move the nest if they come forward.

Now he is afraid that this gang of eight roads has run away, so it will be troublesome, and he can't find anyone if he wants to find out.

Yoshida Masanobu wanted to find Zhang Yunfei, and Zhang Yunfei also set his sights on him.

The surrounding Japanese puppet army did not go out, although it did not meet Zhang Yunfei's expectations, but it also gave him another chance.

If all the devils are dispatched, Zhang Yunfei will naturally have to move and dodge, but now there is only a Japanese puppet army chasing him, if he doesn't seize such an opportunity, it will be a bit unreasonable.

Before the arrival of this Japanese puppet army, Zhang Yunfei set up an ambush circle on both sides of the road from Xiangyuan to Xincheng three miles away from the border of Xincheng County.

Zhang Yunfei knew very well that after his own tossing in the northern part of the plain, this group of Japanese puppet troops rushed to retaliate.

Now that the Japanese puppet army in the surrounding counties is not moving, it does not mean that they will be indifferent if they continue to make trouble, so his plan is to fight quickly and collect quickly.

If he stabs such a guy again, it is estimated that he will have to blow up all around, so he must be able to end the battle as quickly as possible and give himself more time to transfer.

"Lao Zhang, I don't think this place is very suitable for ambushing." Zhao Wenzhou was still puzzled by Zhang Yunfei's choice of such an ambush location.

Although he was engaged in political work most of the time, he was also a soldier step by step, and he still knew some basic military knowledge.

"It's true that this place is flat and not the best place to ambush, but think about it, if you were a little devil, what would you think if you chased here?" Zhang Yunfei asked rhetorically.

"What can you think?" Zhao Wenzhou couldn't understand what Zhang Yunfei meant for a while.

"The devil will think that we have slipped into the territory of the new city." Zhu Shanglang on the side added.

This guy is worthy of being a guerrilla expert, and his reaction to this aspect is fast, Zhang Yunfei nodded and said: "Yes, they will think that we have fled into the territory of Xincheng, so when we reach this place that seems safe enough, they will naturally relax their vigilance." ”

The ambush site chosen by Zhang Yunfei is less than two kilometers away from the border of Xincheng County, which is also very particular.

When the Japanese puppet army came to a place where the terrain was all flat and they were about to leave the country, they would give them the illusion that the enemy had fled to the new city.

People have always been on high alert and nervous, and when they feel that there is no danger, they will always subconsciously choose to relax, and the ambush point chosen by Zhang Yunfei is such a place where people will relax for no reason.

Because the next is the new city boundary, it is human nature to breathe a sigh of relief before entering someone else's territory and cope with the next unfamiliar environment in a better state.

This is from the enemy's point of view, since the enemy will subconsciously think that there is no danger, then for the ambush side, how to achieve concealment is a big problem.

The only thing that can hide people is a shallow ditch more than 100 meters away from the road, and this ditch is not too long, and even if it can hide people, it can only hide dozens of people at most.

Others can only hide farther away, which is definitely not ideal terrain for an ambush, as there are so few places to hide within sight.

After all, the farther the attack, the more time the enemy has to react, and the effect of the ambush will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, the ambush point on the front line is particularly important, they must suppress the Japanese puppet army at the first time, so that the Japanese puppet army cannot respond at the first time.

In terms of the selection of the commando team, Tie Dan led the team, and he was assigned a platoon of a company, plus a grenadier group, equipped with four crooked machine guns and two Czech machine guns.

Almost the entire regiment's firepower was in his hands, and Zhang Yunfei repeatedly explained that when the battle started, they had to fire at the Japanese puppet army at any expense.

Although their assault force was small in number, it was the key to the battle, whether they could inflict heavy damage on the enemy as soon as the battle began, and divide and suppress the enemy's counterattack fire, so that it could not organize an effective counterattack.

Zhang Yunfei repeatedly told each of them, not letting go of every detail, no way, the battle tolerance rate of the Eighth Route Army is too low, their actions determine the success or failure of this battle, Zhang Yunfei is naturally very attentive to their preparations.
