…… The little devil has become more and more overstretched in this part of North China over the years, the initial transport team still has cars, all kinds of machinery for transporting grain, and the accompanying officers either ride tall horses, or sit comfortably in their own special cars, all the way forward, but with the extension of the battle line, after the protracted war is opened, the devil's materials will slowly not be able to keep up.

Coupled with the ruggedness of the mountain roads in the land of China, the little devils began to use mule-drawn carts, and the mules and horses were naturally snatched from the hands of the common people.

Shi Wencai noticed from the telescope that this is a very primitive mechanized transport team, more than a dozen carriages pull grain, except for the first six horses pulling carts, the rest are basically manpower carts, and the carts are all puppet troops, anyway, in the eyes of devils, there is not much difference between puppet army and livestock, if you have to find some differences, it is nothing more than that the puppet army is more obedient than mules and horses, and it can be driven more easily.

Shi Wencai first reconnoitred the equipment of this Japanese squadron.

Six light machine guns, six grenadiers, plus more than a hundred rifles, ammunition, grenades, in addition to a squadron of Japanese troops, there was also a puppet army unit.

Supposedly, such a unit was not as well equipped as the standard infantry squadron of the Japanese army, and it should never be too far behind.

But now this situation can only explain one problem:

On the one hand, the Japanese army's supply of weapons began to be insufficient, and on the other hand, the Japanese army probably felt that on the way to Heyuan County, since there were so many successful experiences before, coupled with the collection of intelligence systems, there was no large-scale anti-Japanese armed force in the surrounding area, so naturally there was no need to go to great lengths to equip the transport team with too much equipment.

The "foresight" of the Japanese army is emotional, and Shi Wencai, who held a telescope and remembered all the equipment of the entire Japanese transport squadron in his heart, sighed in his heart, it seems that this time except for this batch of food, there is not much oil and water in the equipment.

It turned out that Shi Wencai, who was holding a telescope to reconnoiter the situation, was not worried about the devil's well-equipped, he just wanted to see how much benefit he could get from this net.

Poor Japanese soldiers are self-righteous, they are already meat on the chopping block, to be slaughtered, and no matter how much equipment they have, they will just be handed over to the New Third Regiment.

…… The battle began as expected, and the Japanese transport squadron heading to Heyuan County was suddenly ambushed by the enemy on both sides as it passed through the middle section of Yaogou.

This time the ambush of the Japanese transport squadron, according to Han Feng's order, was Shi Wencai's first battalion, the first battalion participated in the battle a total of 621 people, of which 611 were recruits, and only ten veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time.

This division is based on the number of years they have participated in the team, and if they are divided according to whether they have been on the battlefield, 52 of the 621 people have been on the battlefield.

Shi Wencai divided the soldiers who had been on the battlefield into the weeds on both sides for ambush, and before the battle, he patted each "veteran" on the shoulder, "You have been on the battlefield, that is the veteran, the veteran must set a good example for the recruits, and you must play the momentum of a veteran in this ambush battle." ”

The veterans replied in unison.

At the beginning of the battle, the veterans really did not disappoint Shi Wencai, under their lead in firing, maybe the recruits were encouraged, or maybe the recruits had already experienced this similar scene during the exercise, more than 600 people ambushed the Japanese transport squadron, at the beginning of the battle, the recruits moved their hands, but they didn't look like veterans, whether they were accurate or not, they shot the bullets in the chamber first.

Although it is the first time to go to the battlefield, it is an ambush war, and it is a shooting from a distance, plus the usual military training, the recruits do not have a strong understanding of the cruelty of war, and they even have a feeling that this real battle seems to be more exciting and refreshing than the exercise, after all, everyone has to be careful during the exercise in peacetime, and they cannot come at will.

But now it's different, the battalion commander Shi Wencai said, how to come easily, you are a fart who can jump the devil to death, that's okay.

One of the recruits was so excited that he threw the grenade out without pulling the ring, and it didn't kill the devil, but smashed it on the devil's head, almost scaring the devil to death.

As for the equipment of the first battalion, Han Feng wanted the first battalion to quickly solve the battle, and then return to the second battalion as soon as possible to support half of the second battalion, so he allocated a full nine crooked handles to the first battalion.

So at the beginning of this ambush battle, Sven was addicted to it, and after so many years, this was the first time in his military career that he commanded a battalion of troops to fight.

The head of the regiment, Han Feng, trusted him even more, and such an important task was directly slapped on his head Shi Wencai.

There is no other way to play, ambush warfare, since you have already taken the lead, then you will beat the devils to death in one go, and do not give them any respite...... Of course, the devils are not vegetarians, and the sudden blow did cause them a lot of losses, but there was no respite but it was not.

The Japanese squadron leader Changchun Mu recovered from the ambush and asked for help from all parties through wireless communication as soon as possible, the Japanese army in Heyuan County was naturally the most suitable for sending reinforcements, and the devils in the county town were even more anxious, this was their hungry food!

Yamashita, the newly transferred squadron leader stationed in Heyuan County, made a judgment in a hurry: the enemy wanted to rob them of their food.

He didn't think much about it, this batch of grain was their ration, and they had to be sent immediately.

An infantry squadron was urgently assembled in a hurry, most of the Imperial Allied Army was dispatched, and half of the more than 100 men and horses of the gendarmerie were also dispatched, and the entire Heyuan County was emptied of seventy percent of its strength in an instant, leaving only another temporary squadron that was not yet formed, and a part of the gendarmerie and the Imperial Allied Army were stationed.

Will the enemy take advantage of the emptiness of the county to carry out a sneak attack?

It's not that Yamashita hasn't thought about this possibility, but the situation is urgent, Yamashita is a decisive soldier, in the case of unclear thinking, what he has to do is to move forward according to the most urgent and most necessary goals, such as at this moment, the transport team is ambushed, what he needs to do is clear, and he must immediately support.

As for the safety of Heyuan County, Yamashita did not think that the enemy had the strength to capture the county seat, and at least the garrison remaining in the county town for a short period of time could also resist the enemy's attack......
