Although there were not many reinforcements sent, the Japanese troops who were ordered to reinforce still felt that the area from Suzhou to Vortex City should still be safe. In this occupied area, no one should dare to trouble them.

Even if many Japanese puppet soldiers think so, the little devils on the way to the march still maintain a corresponding vigilant posture. In contrast, the puppet army who was ordered to accompany them seemed relatively relaxed, and more of them were in a hurry to follow the footsteps of the little devils.

There are also more than 100 kilometers of road from Suzhou to Vortex City, and if you walk forward, it is still a bit physically exhausting. Fortunately, the little devil still ordered a night's rest, so that the Japanese puppet army who hurried the next day was in good spirits.

Seeing that they were getting longer and longer away from Vortex City, the Japanese puppet army who had walked for a day hoped to arrive at Vortex City as soon as possible and have a good night's sleep after eating a hot meal. The Japanese puppet army, who was in charge of vigilance earlier, also relaxed a lot of vigilance in his heart.

On the other hand, Hu Biao and the others who were lying in the ambush position quietly watched the Japanese puppet army striding into the ambush circle. Hu Biao, who was staying on a high ground, quietly watched the little devil's march, ready to give the order for artillery bombardment at any time.

When the little devil vehicle responsible for transporting supplies officially entered the strike range of the artillery detachment, Hu Biao immediately said: "Pillar, send a signal to the artillery detachment and start shelling!" Blow it up first! ”

In order to alleviate the casualties of the attacking troops, Hu Biao carried a lot of artillery out of the storage space. In order to avoid scaring the little devils around, Hu Biao did not use heavy artillery. The selected artillery is more common on the battlefield.

With Hu Biao's order, Tian Tiezhu, who was standing beside Hu Biao, picked up the red flag in his hand and began to wave it. On the artillery positions below, the commander of the artillery detachment was also waiting for a signal. Seeing the red flag waving, he said loudly: "Gunners prepare, put!" ”

Accompanied by the order of the commander of the artillery detachment, the artillery crew, who had been waiting for a long time, fired the shells in their hands at the same time. The Japanese puppet army, which was marching on the road, did not realize the danger that was coming, until the shells whistled.

Just when a little devil heard the sound and felt that something was wrong and looked up, one after another cannonballs had already fallen from the sky. When the little devil screamed and hidden, the first round of shells had already fallen, and they smashed heavily on the road and blossomed instantly.

The sound of an explosion of 'boom, boom, boom' rang out, and the combat troops lying in the trenches immediately lifted the camouflage on their positions. Everyone's guns were aimed at the little devils scattered and dodging on the road, pulling the trigger and shooting.

The little devil officer, who was lucky enough to escape the first round of shelling, looked at the ambush soldiers on both sides of the road, and said with some surprise and horror: "Baga! How can there be a branch army here? Defend in place! Send a telegram to the defenders of Vortex City immediately and ask them to quickly reinforce them! ”

For many Japanese soldiers, they did not encounter many artillery strikes from the anti-Japanese forces. If it is on the battlefield and encounters fierce artillery bombardment by the anti-Japanese war troops, it means that the scale and strength of this anti-Japanese army are worthy of the vigilance and caution of the Japanese army.

No one expected that in such a place they would encounter anti-Japanese troops with artillery units. What shocked the Japanese most was the firepower of the ambushes on both sides, which was also ferocious beyond their imagination.

On the other hand, those puppet soldiers who accompanied them, seeing such fierce artillery fire and dense firepower, many puppet soldiers were instantly frightened. In a panic, they began to scatter and flee. No matter how the little devils restrain it, it will not work at all under the threat of shells.

Only some puppet soldiers with battlefield experience shouted from time to time: "Don't run around, if you want to live, hurry up and find a place to lie down!" ”

These puppet troops all know that in the case of an ambush, two legs simply cannot outrun the shells. The more panicked you are, the more likely you are to be killed by the shrapnel that exploded. If you lie down, you may still be able to ask for a glimmer of life.

It's a pity that many young puppet soldiers who have no combat experience and only act as doglegs in peacetime don't know these battlefield life-saving experiences. In other words, at this moment, they have only one thought in their minds, and that is to run quickly and stay away from this place.

On the other hand, the little devils who survived are much more qualified and responsive. Some machine gunners quickly looked for good firing points near the highway and began to strafe the ambush positions next to the road, and some of the little devils also began to fight back.

In response to this situation, Qin Tianyou, who was in charge of the front-line command, shouted from time to time: "Sniper, give Lao Tzu the machine gunner who killed the little devil, and those damn grenadiers, don't give them a chance to set up." Heavy hit me hard! ”

Zhao Chengwu, who was in charge of blocking on the other side, looked at the more and more little devils attacking their side, and also felt pressured and said, "Grandma, why are these little devils running to our side?" Are we good bullies? ”

Judging from the number of people, it is obvious that Zhao Chengwu's troops are more. Judging from the firepower, the firepower of Zhao Chengwu's department is obviously not as dense as that of the task force. So much so that the surviving little devils planned to open the gap from Zhao Chengwu's side.

Hu Biao, who always pays attention to the situation on the battlefield, also said in a timely manner: "Order the mortar squad to provide artillery support to friendly forces!" Let the grenadier squad attack, suppress the momentum of the little devils' counterattack, and defeat them as quickly as possible! ”

"Yes, detachment leader!"

As Tian Tiezhu waved the red flag in his hand again, the soldier in charge of observation informed the situation in time. The battlefield commanders, in accordance with the corresponding operational instructions, immediately adjusted the rhythm of the offensive and carried out precise strikes against the little devils.

Seeing the shells falling from the sky, as well as the slowly withdrawing little devil attack troops, the colonel commander who stayed on the position and commanded, was also very angry and said: "Transfer the reserve team and give Lao Tzu a hard beating!" One regiment can't beat a company, it's a shame! ”

It is clear that Hu Biao transferred artillery fire and provided reinforcements to their side, but he also didn't want the little devils to break through from their side. Thinking that there were only a hundred officers and soldiers in the task force on the other side of the road, the colonel's face was hot.

Originally, he planned to retain some strength, but seeing that the little devils treated them as soft persimmons, the colonel naturally felt angry. And the officers and soldiers on other positions, even if they know that they are not as good as the task force, they don't want to be looked down upon.

As Zhao Chengwu's troops began to stabilize, the surviving Japanese puppet army on the highway was undoubtedly facing more and more pressure. Just when a little devil officer was about to retreat, he heard gunshots from behind him.

"Yaga! We're surrounded! Relying on the highway, build a blocking position, and wait for help! Judging by the enemy's firepower, it must have been the main force of the Shina Army that ambushed us. Damn, we didn't even get any information before! ”

In the eyes of the surviving little devil commanders, this territory should be within the control of the Vortex City garrison. There was such a powerful anti-Japanese war force in the territory, and the Japanese army on the side of Vortex City was unaware of it.

It's just that at this time, it doesn't work to blame and complain in my heart. If they want to survive, they can only hope that reinforcements from Vortex City can come as soon as possible. In that case, they might be able to break through.

It's a pity that just when the little devil was about to stick to it and wait for help, looking at the little devil who began to gather again, Hu Biao said again: "Notify the mountain artillery team, let them also open up, and reward the little devil with a few mountain cannon shells to try!" ”

Hearing this, Tian Tiezhu smiled and said, "Yes, detachment leader!" ”

When the four mountain guns began to join the battle, the surviving Japanese soldiers were shocked again: "Baga! These Chinese armies actually have mountain artillery? Eight Gyalu! What are our intelligence officers and defenders doing? ”

Infantry could sneak through mountains and mountains into Japanese-controlled areas, but these cumbersome fire routes required the use of vehicles. Even if the mountain cannon is not too heavy, it must use a vehicle such as a horse-drawn carriage, and it is almost impossible to carry it by manpower.

Highways, on the other hand, are often the places where the Japanese army in enemy-occupied areas focus on monitoring. These mountain artillery and troops, who came here without the monitoring of the little devils, were indeed unexpected by the ambushed Japanese army. In the eyes of these Japanese soldiers, it was a dereliction of duty on the part of the special high school and the local defenders!

These surviving Japanese troops, while urging Vortex City to quickly send reinforcements, did not forget to complain. Vaguely hearing the sound of gunfire from outside the city, the garrison of Vortex City, who was waiting for reinforcements, was also shocked: "Baga! There is a battle outside the city! ”

"Your Excellency the Garrison, although the sound is not very accurate, it should be the sound of a cannonball exploding!"

"Not good! Someone is ambushing our reinforcements outside the city! ”

"Your Excellency the Garrison, this is unlikely, is it?"

Compared with the garrison, he guessed at once that one of the two sides of the fire outside the city must have reinforcements from Suzhou, and the other officers felt that it was unlikely. The reason is that the reinforcements are still very strong in strength and equipment.

Although there are small groups of anti-Japanese war armed forces circulating in Vortex City, it should not be possible for these officers to ambush thousands of Japanese puppet troops in broad daylight. When they received the telegram calling for help, all the officers were shocked.

Only the garrison officer of Vortex City, looking at the reinforcements that had been assembled, immediately said, "Set off immediately, rush to the ambush site to reinforce our troops." The rest of the troops, hold the city and beware of a sneak attack by the Chinese army! ”

Considering that the reinforcements were ambushed and there was a possibility that they would be blamed from above, the garrison of Vortex City decided to personally lead the troops to attack. Even when he was out of the city, the garrison officer did not inform the puppet army at all. In his opinion, when the puppet army completes the assembly, the daylily will be cold.

In this case, it is better to let these puppet troops stay in the city and cooperate with the rest of the troops to hold the city. With the blockade of the whole city and the seizure of the ammunition of the puppet army, he believes that these puppet troops should not be able to make any big waves.

It's just that this garrison officer didn't know at all that when he led his troops to rush to the aid of the Japanese puppet army brigade that was ambushed outside the city, the reconnaissance detachment that had always monitored them also quickly launched an operation. Boxes of bullets were secretly transported to the puppet army station.

Those puppet army officers who were bought, although they felt a little timid and weak-hearted. can learn that there is a division of the main force of the national army outside the city, which is ambushing the little devils, and they think that the chances of the national army should be relatively large.

In addition, they have already collected money, and if they do not cooperate with the actions of the reconnaissance detachment, the fate that awaits them will not be too good. If you wait for the little devils to return to the city and know that they have received money from the task force, they will also be liquidated by the little devils!
