However, because the Japanese puppet army mainly had the main living forces, they all concentrated in the western part of Hubei and launched a dragnet sweep of the area between Hubei and Changzhi. Fastest update access: щщщ.79XS.сОΜ. And a considerable part of the troops were used to block Hubei and Ludong, Hubei and Changzhi, as well as the mountain passage in the western plain of Hubei.

The Japanese puppet army mobilized heavy troops to clear the western plains of Hubei, which made the road in front of him look unusually calm and deserted. It's been two days since I was on standby, except for the same few pedestrians, but I haven't seen a shadow of even the Japanese puppet army. Although the terrain here is very favorable, the long wait makes the cadres and soldiers a little restless.

But Li Ziyuan did not give up, but waited here patiently. It wasn't until the third day of standby that the opportunity finally came. On the morning of the third day, a group of Japanese puppet troops who set out from Huguan and marched in the direction of Changzhi through Hubei fell into Li Ziyuan's telescope. For this Japanese puppet army, Li Ziyuan almost made up his mind to fight without the slightest hesitation.

The reason why this Japanese puppet army made Li Ziyuan decide to fight was very simple, although this Japanese puppet army did not have many troops, they did not escort any supplies. But under their bayonets, it was more than 500 days of puppet army sweeping, captured friendly personnel, soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and a group of young adults who should have been redone laborers.

The captives were tied together with ropes and walked with difficulty under the bayonets and rifle butts of the Japanese puppet army. Many people don't even have a pair of shoes on their feet. Moreover, these prisoners, under the habit of abusing prisoners by the Japanese army, all had yellow faces and thin muscles, and chapped lips.

From the moment he crossed the Yellow River to the east and really 'fought' with the Japanese army, Li Ziyuan was very clear about the Japanese army's policy towards prisoners. At the beginning, the Japanese army basically did not leave prisoners, and the captured Chinese ** people were basically killed after serving as coolies. In the past two years, the situation has changed somewhat, except that almost all the wounded have been killed. Most of the captives were usually sent to the mines to work as coolies.

In many cases, it was also used by the Japanese army to train recruits for courage and blood, and to put it bluntly, it was to train recruits from people to devils and use them as objects of assassination training. These prisoners still have a life left. But if it fell into the hands of the Japanese army, if it was not saved if it was killed. Even if he was not assassinated by the Japanese army as a target, he would be tortured to death sooner or later.

Therefore, Li Ziyuan can't help but fight this battle, especially in the current situation where the surrounding enemy situation is very weak. If this battle is not fought and these captives are not rescued, I will not forgive myself. Looking at these captured people, the scene where Shi Jin was killed before appeared in front of Li Ziyuan's eyes like a movie.

After a few days of rest, Li Ziyuan has long been aware of the surrounding terrain. After seeing the number of escorts of the Japanese puppet army, he immediately had a plan in his heart about how to fight this battle. After making up his mind, he led his troops to quickly hide at the foot of the mountain, less than a hundred meters from the road, and at this time he was hiding among the yellowing bushes.

When I think about it, if a gun goes off here, my place of recuperation will be exposed. The surrounding Japanese puppet army will be surrounded by itself at the first time, and if the battle drags on, it will be quite unfavorable to itself, and the only solution is to fight quickly. Therefore, Li Ziyuan still decided to take close combat, concentrating superior firepower to hit the more than 20 Japanese soldiers sitting in the carriage behind first.

The Japanese army is the backbone and main force of this escort force, as for the pseudo-Hubei County garrison wearing the uniform of the garrison, that is the same thing. Therefore, Li Ziyuan absolutely concentrated the firepower that he could concentrate, first defeated the Japanese army at the first time, and solved the rest in close combat.

Li Ziyuan did this from the perspective of those prisoners. If the shootout drags on for too long, it will not only affect your follow-up. Moreover, the firepower of the two sides will also bring great damage to the captured personnel. The bullet does not have long eyes, and it is impossible to distinguish those who are Chinese and those who are the scum among the Chinese.

If these captives had suffered too many losses by the time they were rescued, the battle would have been meaningless. It is necessary not only to resolve the battle in the shortest possible time, but also to ensure as much as possible that the captured personnel caught in the middle cannot lose too much in the event of a 'engagement' between the two armies. The only way is to rush forward and mix with the Japanese puppet army as soon as the gun goes off.

Shanxi's puppet army has limited combat effectiveness, and it still has a certain ability to defend itself. For example, in this kind of ambush warfare in the wild, its determination to fight and will to fight, including its real combat effectiveness, are very poor. As long as the troops can put it on as soon as possible, they should be able to solve the problem in the shortest possible time and avoid stray bullets from accidentally injuring too many captured personnel.

Li Ziyuan divided the existing force into two parts, and he carried four 'Ting' machine guns and He Huizhang's grenadiers, as well as two squads of soldiers, to fight the Japanese soldiers sitting in the carriage behind. Li Ziyuan's tactical intention is very clear, that is, to concentrate firepower to deal with the Japanese army behind in the shortest possible time.

Zeng Sheng was responsible for commanding the other troops, and at the first moment of the gunshot, he charged with the bayonet and mixed up with the puppet army, striving to defeat the puppet army in the shortest possible time, or disarm the puppet army. In order to end the battle as soon as possible, Li Ziyuan transferred the Jinzao submachine gun in his hand to Zeng Sheng, except for the two left by himself.

At the same time, let Guo Laosan's father and daughter aim at the Japanese soldier Cao who led the team, as well as an officer of the puppet army. After personally pointing out the target for Guo Laosan, Li Ziyuan told Guo Laosan that he must be fatal with the first shot. This time, the whole army took the sound of his guns as a signal, and the sound of guns on his side was the signal of the start of the battle.

And he himself held a Czech light machine gun, and formed a 'crossing' of fire with the soldiers of the '' column and the three 'strong' crooked handles around him, and carefully aimed the muzzle of the gun at the two dozen Japanese soldiers sitting in the three carriages behind him. He Huizhang also followed his orders and aimed the grenadier at the last carriage.

Before the escorted Japanese puppet army entered the ambush circle, Li Ziyuan repeatedly told Zeng Sheng not to use grenades on their side. Aim for the puppet army's escorts as much as possible. At the same time, all but the machine gunners put on their bayonets and rushed out as soon as the guns rang out.

Perhaps on this road, there has never been an attack. This Japanese puppet army escorting the captured personnel talked and laughed along the way, and their vigilance was very lax. In particular, the twenty or so Japanese soldiers who sat in the carriage and kept talking about something while smoking cigarettes were almost unsuspecting. As for the escort and care in front, they were all 'handed over' to the dozens of puppet soldiers to do.

At this time, the leader of the team didn't know what he was talking about, but the Japanese commander Cao who was smiling very obscenely on his face, didn't know that his head had fallen into the crosshair of a water rifle. After laughing, just as he pulled out a cigarette and lit it, a crisp gunshot opened a skylight directly in his head.

Then two shots were fired in succession, and two Japanese soldiers were directly knocked down. Guo Laosan, who was within a hundred meters, was almost a miss, and every shot could find his target. And the speed of 'shooting' is so fast that even the sharpshooters in the army are a little willing to bow down. The water bead rifle that I don't know how many hands it has had, in his hands can almost be said to be superb.

As long as the target is within his 'shooting' range, it is difficult to escape. It's a pity that the Shui Lianzhu rifle has a long range, great power, and simple operation, but after all, the Shui Lianzhu in Guo Laosan's hand is a relatively old gun in the Shui Lianzhu, although it is well maintained. However, due to the structure and the design of the straight-pull bolt, the rate of 'fire' is somewhat slow compared with the new Zhongzheng and Czech models.

However, although only three Japanese soldiers were defeated, Guo Laosan's first shot was like a signal. Before the carriage he was riding, as well as the Japanese soldiers in the carriage behind, reacted from the gunshot, the Czech style in Li Ziyuan's hand took the lead.

Several machine gunners beside him also pulled the trigger at the first time. The dense bullets fired by several 'strong' machine guns 'crossed' crossed fire threw these unprepared Japanese soldiers out of the carriage in pieces. At the same time, the two squad soldiers led by Li Ziyuan also pulled the trigger of the rifle in their hands one after another. With the platoon gun, which was already much more accurate at the moment, the bullets were fired at the Japanese troops.

And almost at the same time as the first shot, a grenade grenade fired at close range blew seven or eight Japanese soldiers in the third carriage who did not even have time to shoot their guns to pieces, along with the wagon. He Huizhang's hand is quite fast, and he is becoming more and more proficient in the use of grenadiers, and he directly hits the first shot.

At great speed, Li Ziyuan fired several bursts to knock down the Japanese soldiers on the second carriage. After emptying out one magazine, Li Ziyuan did not change the magazine. Instead, he threw the 'strong' Czech machine gun in his hand directly to the original machine gunner.

He pulled out the fast and slow machine, and threw a grenade as cover. Rushing to a distance of fifty meters, he flattened the gun and fired a burst, knocking down several Japanese soldiers who were driven off the carriage and were about to find cover to return fire. And the fighters beside him also rushed forward with rifles with bayonets on them.

Guo Laosan's father and daughter, who were beside Li Ziyuan, used 'fine' rifles to 'shoot' to provide fire cover for Li Ziyuan who rushed out. These two rifles that 'crossed' and 'fired' each other made the Japanese troops on the opposite side suffer enough. It can be said that almost every time a gun is fired, a person from the Japanese army on the opposite side will fall. With two rifles, the few remaining Japanese soldiers could barely raise their heads.

The more than 20 Japanese troops who were responsible for escorting the prisoners lost two-thirds of their troops as soon as they met Li Ziyuan. The rest of the Japanese troops panicked, and they were hit by Guo Laosan's father and daughter, plus the fast and slow machine in Li Ziyuan's hands, and a few 'Ting' machine guns, and they couldn't even lift their heads.

Although these Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to escape the catastrophe jumped out of the carriage as soon as possible and used the carriage as a cover. But the grenadier in the hands of He Huizhang, who was staring at these Japanese soldiers, also frustrated the efforts of the few remaining Japanese soldiers to find cover. And the water bead rifle in Guo Laosan's hand, which cooperated with the machine gun, also frustrated the hope of the remaining Japanese troops to try to fight back.

And here Li Ziyuan launched a charge, and Zeng Sheng in front of him had already led dozens of soldiers, and rushed towards the puppet army that was stunned and 'chaotic', and had already mixed up with the puppet army. At this time, the Japanese army was too busy to take care of itself, and the puppet army, which had lost its backbone, faced the Zeng Sheng's headquarters that rushed up, and it was 'chaotic' on the spot.

Li Ziyuan took more than a dozen soldiers and concentrated two fast and slow machines and two Jinzao submachine guns. Killed the six remaining Japanese soldiers under his own blow. He was carrying weapons that were more suitable for melee combat, as he had no intention of fighting the remaining Japanese soldiers. He would rather 'waste' some precious bullets than have a wounded at this time.
