On the pipeline leading from the no-man's land to Huaiyuan County, nearly 2,000 puppet troops, pulling artillery, pushing baggage carts, lined up in three formations, and advanced mightily.

Captain Nakasa walked in the middle of the team on a war horse, his expression was very heavy.

In the first battle of attacking the garrison base area, the sweeping troops on the western route suffered heavy casualties, and the sweeping troops on the eastern and central routes were completely annihilated, and the imperial army was defeated.

As a member of the sweeping army, although he was not directly defeated, in the eyes of other imperial troops, he still couldn't get rid of the identity of the general of the defeated army.

If he goes back like this, his implementation career in the second half of his life will definitely be ended because of this defeat, and the exploits and honors he won in the first half of his life will be gone.

Fortunately, at this time, the superiors arranged a good errand for themselves to lead the team to recapture Huaiyuan from the Eighth Route Army.

As long as this task is completed, the others who participated in the sweep do not know, and they will definitely be able to be ashamed.

If nothing else, it's definitely okay to keep your current position and honor.

Therefore, this operation can only succeed and cannot fail.

"Report to the sir, after passing the front checkpoint, you will be out of the no-man's land!" A staff officer of the forward unit rushed over on a fast horse to report.

The captain raised his binoculars and saw that the forward troops were passing through a checkpoint.

There was a detachment of Imperial troops and a platoon of Imperial Cooperative Army, all standing on both sides of the checkpoint, holding steel guns, and watching the troops on the road in formation.

"Order the troops to speed up the march, which is fifty kilometers away from the county seat of Huaiyuan, and strive to recapture the county seat before dark." The captain put down the binoculars and ordered very seriously.

Deputy Captain Shaozuo suddenly stopped the staff officer who wanted to leave, hesitated for a moment and reminded the captain: "Think twice, sir." ”

"According to intelligence: Although the main force of the garrison regiment attacking Huaiyuan has left, there are still many guerrillas in Huaiyuan, and if the troops move forward regardless of everything, the losses will definitely be great."

"Guerrilla ......"

Hearing these three words, the captain snorted coldly and replied, "Isn't it just some dirt roads?" Rest assured, they can't threaten us. ”

"The garrison was able to defeat us with excellent equipment and ample ammunition."

"The guerrillas want guns without guns, they want ammunition without ammunition, and no matter how cunning they are, they can't be the opponent of the imperial army."

"Order the troops to march forward boldly and confidently, and recapture the county seat before dark, I don't want the troops to spend the night outside the county seat."

"Hey!"

The vice captain was still a little worried, but the captain's firmness left him with nothing to say, so he could only agree to it.

"Go and give orders now, and march to the county seat."

Two kilometers away, the mountain road is full of shrubs one person high, and one after another small high ground.

The guerrilla leader Peng Shaofeng hid behind a boulder nearly two meters high, with a telescope around his neck that had been given to him by the Independent Regiment a few days ago, nervous and expectant.

"Captain, the Devil Striker is here." The instructor stood next to him and reminded.

Peng Shaofeng raised his binoculars: more than 50 devils, rifles in their hands, light machine guns in their arms, lined up in battle formation, and hurriedly walked over to this side.

Perhaps because the march was too fast, or because they thought that there could be no enemy in Huaiyuan, they made a show of reconnaissance on both sides of the road.

As soon as he saw the enemy situation, the scouts rushed over panting.

"Captain, the devil's forward unit has an infantry squad, and it is not reinforced with heavy weapons."

"How far away is the main force from them?" This is one of Peng Shaofeng's greatest concerns.

"Five hundred meters!" The scout blurted out.

Peng Shaofeng's eyes quickly shot out two fine lights, looked at the instructor and said, "Lao Li, I want to play a big game with the devil, and by the way, test the combat effectiveness of the troops." ”

Peng Shaofeng is notoriously bold, and the instructor has a clear heart.

Seeing the captain staring at the devil forward troops, his eyes lit up, and he instantly understood his thoughts.

He calmly reminded: "Captain, there are more than 50 devil strikers, the main force is only 500 meters away from them, and they can be killed in four minutes after a rapid march, trying to eat them is tantamount to pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth, and the probability of success is too low." ”

Peng Shaofeng was not affected by this sentence, and replied confidently: "If it was more than half a month ago, even if there was only one devil striker as a team, I wouldn't dare to attack them." ”

"It's different now, the guerrillas are equipped with four heavy machine guns, thirteen light machine guns, more than 100 rifles, and plenty of ammunition, and they will definitely not be willing to fight if they don't fight."

"Use an infantry platoon and artillery platoon to slow down the speed of the main force of the devil to reinforce the battlefield, and the others will ambush here."

"As soon as the gunfire of the ambush stopped, the reinforcements retreated."

"Four heavy machine guns, ten light machine guns, lined up on the battlefield, strive to kill at least thirty devils in one round of shooting."

"There are more than a hundred riflemen and several members with good marksmanship, and if they kill a few more, there will be no devils."

"A few more fighters were scattered and ambushed on the side of the road, and after we opened fire, they attacked with grenades and grenades."

"If it goes well, we will kill all these dozens of devils in a minute at most."

"Two more minutes to clean up the battlefield and retreat, you can end the battle before the main force of the devil kills and pull out this tooth from the tiger's mouth."

Seeing that the instructor was slowly moved, Peng Shaofeng continued to instigate.

"And one more instructor, don't forget!"

"The reason why the vigilantes of the devil strikers are so poor is that they look down on our guerrillas and think that our guerrillas cannot threaten them, so they dare to be so arrogant and kill Huaiyuan."

"As long as we are well concealed enough and can catch them off guard, the odds of winning will definitely be higher."

The instructor was impressed.

The sophisticated equipment of the guerrillas really gave him a lot of confidence.

If a reinforced company in the main force has such good equipment, a squadron of devils will not be afraid of itself.

This is a guerrilla, and it will definitely be no problem to kill a third of the devils.

The worry on his face was slowly replaced by excitement, and he looked at the captain and replied, "." ”

"I'm in charge of sending reinforcements, and you're in charge of ambushes, captain."

"We must keep our troops hidden, especially the bombardiers who are ambushed on the side of the road, because the more sudden the ambush is fought, the higher our chances of victory, and the quicker we can solve the battle."

Captain Nakasa rode on a war horse, and every half an hour he had to urge the troops to let everyone go faster.

"Da Da Da ......"

A burst of gunfire suddenly came from the forward troops, which was very dense, and there were many heavy machine gun fires inside.

Less than half a minute after the gunshots rang out, the sound of explosions followed, and at least ten grenades exploded at the same time.

The captain rode on horseback and raised his binoculars to see the battle there.

The attack came from the east of the forward troops, and more than fifty imperial troops fell on the road, dead and wounded, and were clearly at a disadvantage.

"One, two, two squadrons will kill at once, and reinforce the vanguard to take out the enemy." The captain reacted quickly, giving orders as he watched.

As soon as the order was issued, the captain saw the enemy attacking the vanguard appear.

Armed with a rifle with a bayonet or a light machine gun, they roared and rushed to the road.

Listening to the sound of gunfire and seeing their equipment again, the captain's first reaction was that he had encountered the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

But the idea was quickly rejected by himself.

More than a hundred enemies, dressed in a variety of clothes, and less than twenty were actually wearing military uniforms, all of whom rushed to the front first, and at a glance they knew that they were officers.

They are too familiar with such troops, and North China is everywhere.

The deputy captain shouted with a look of disbelief: "Eighth Route Army guerrillas, how is this possible, how can they have such good equipment." ”
