It was precisely for the Eighth Route Army, which lacked support firepower and even ran low on bullets, that grenades had so many advantages. Therefore, Li Ziyuan specialized in hard labor and trained the troops in grenade throwing. Even if there was only one mortar company, Li Ziyuan would not have worked so hard to train the troops to throw grenades.

More than 100 volleys exploded, all of which were equipped with standard explosives, which were far more powerful than the self-produced grenades in the base area, which exploded in half and in half, and also played the role that Li Ziyuan hoped they would play before the battle. The scattered shampnel was lethal enough for the Japanese troops on the march.

And dropping a grenade on the enemy's head at a distance of fifty meters is not a difficult thing for specially trained troops. More than 100 grenades were accurately and ruthlessly dropped on the heads of the Japanese soldiers, and a large amount of shrapnel was produced by the volley explosion. The two Japanese squads in the front and rear that were hit by the key blow were directly knocked down more than half of their troops.

Because of the rapid march and the hot weather at the moment, the Japanese troops generally did not buckle the steel helmets to the top of their heads, but tied them to their backpacks. There are even a few veterans who do not carry steel helmets at all. Anyway, this thing can't protect against guns and bullets, and there are no guns on the eighth road, so it doesn't matter if you bring it or not.

Therefore, the explosion of more than 100 grenades in the air produced by the lethality was quite deadly for the Japanese army. In addition, Li Ziyuan put a knife in his back, and the long point 'shot' that he suddenly hit also directly knocked out one-third of the Japanese vanguard team who were busy on the way.

Although the number of remaining Japanese troops was still quite large, they were not able to hold out for too long under Li Ziyuan's two-sided flanking attack at the expense of ammunition, the crossfire of five light machine guns, and the firepower of a large number of rifle flat shots. Li Ziyuan's idea is that the training is not enough, and the firepower and tactics make up for it.

Especially in the position of the small squad that has been reloaded with several Jinzao submachine guns, Li Ziyuan has been painstakingly calculated. If the Japanese are lying down and firing back, when they need to find cover, they should turn their backs to the position of a small team. Even if the Japanese army's tactical literacy is good, it can't withstand the firepower from both sides.

Although it took time to delay, it took more time to resolve the battle than Li Ziyuan expected. But after all, two squads of the Japanese army were solved at one time, plus a heavy machine gun team. The puppet army was killed, and the rest raised their hands cleanly after all the Japanese troops fell.

The advantage of this battle was that Li Ziyuan, with more than 100 troops, completely annihilated two Japanese squads carrying a 'strong' Type 92 heavy machine gun, and the casualties were almost negligible, and this result can be described as quite brilliant. At least for Li Ziyuan, it is definitely the first time in the world.

But while the results were brilliant, the consequences were also quite serious. The boxes donated by the battalion of the puppet Jin Nanjian ** before, plus the grenades that came out of Gou Deyao's house, only consumed more than half of them in the two consecutive battles. However, Li Ziyuan also has confidence, and the Japanese-made grenades he captured on the truck that destroyed the Japanese army in the previous war were enough to make up for this consumption.

In addition to the more than half of the grenades, there is also a "strong" crooked machine gun, and the extremely delicate bucket has been blown up by Japanese grenades and is no longer usable. The crooked machine gun is a strange bucket feeding system, which is not only quite complex in construction, but also quite delicate.

Once the bucket is damaged, it means that the 'strong' machine gun is completely scrapped. With the ability of Li Ziyuan's department, it can't be repaired at all. Although there was some distress about a 'strong' machine gun, it was lost in vain. But the Czech light machine guns captured in this battle also soothed the depression in Li Ziyuan's heart.

However, the number of Czech machine guns and Jinzao submachine guns, as well as the bullets used in fast and slow machines, is also quite large. The ammunition consumed by the Czech machine gun can be compensated for by collecting the bullets from the puppet army. However, the bullets of the Jin-made submachine gun and the fast and slow machine have no place to replenish for the time being.

When the consumption of ammunition and 'medicine' was counted, Li Ziyuan had a bit of a headache in the face of the fact that only one-third of the bullets of the Jinzao submachine gun were left, and the average number of bullets left for each gun was only twenty rounds of bullets for the fast and slow machine bullets. The fast and slow machine and the Jinzao submachine gun are their main melee firepower, and having such a little bullet left is very detrimental to their next move.

Although a large number of 79 and 65 bullets were captured from the Japanese puppet army in two consecutive battles, as well as a large number of northeast-made fire grenades were captured from the puppet army, they could not make up for the loss of melee firepower. Faced with a huge gap in bullet 'medicine', Li Ziyuan was somewhat 'fleshy' painful.

Looking at the puppet army squatting on the ground, and the weapons piled on the side, Li Ziyuan, who was in pain, shook his head. The order was to distribute all the captured steel helmets, and each of them had to buckle one on his head. He stood there and directly opened his mouth to ask if he was willing to be a puppet army of the Eighth Road.

In fact, Li Ziyuan didn't want to ask about this matter, because none of the puppet garrisons captured in Pingchuan last time were willing to join the army under the mobilization of the division. The sub-district could only carry out political education, and reluctantly released these prisoners separately. With the exception of a few who went straight home, most of them returned to the garrison.

It is precisely because of the lessons learned last time that Li Ziyuan actually just asked casually and did not have too much hope. But this time it was out of Li Ziyuan's expectations, Li Ziyuan's question actually had more than a dozen puppet soldiers stand up, expressing their willingness to follow the Eighth Road, and they are unwilling to wear this dog skin.

After asking Li Ziyuan carefully, I learned that these dozen or so puppet soldiers who were willing to participate in the Eighth Route were all soldiers from the Japanese army who were transferred to the two companies of the garrison from the puppet Jin Nanjian. This time he came out for reinforcements, and that Wang Tieshi did not send his own core troops, but sent two companies transferred from the puppet Jin Nanjian**.

Wang Tieshi is extremely cunning and refuses to risk his descendants. Transferred from Jin Nanjian**, he was considered to be a Japanese mixed with sand, and he was always incompatible with the garrison, one of the two squadrons, and he became a substitute for the dead sent by him. wants to use the hands of the Eighth Route Army to solve this squadron that is not his descendant.

The officers and men of the squadron who were sent by him, who have always been in an ostracized position since they were transferred to the pseudo-garrison, also knew his idea of killing people with a knife. Therefore, this time there was no need for Li Ziyuan to mobilize, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers who had had enough of the wimply said that they would participate in the Eighth Road.

With these dozen veterans participating, Li Ziyuan was naturally very happy. And the rest of the captives, Li Ziyuan was also very generous to release them all. Of course, Li Ziyuan will not let go of all the equipment of these guys, from weapons to ammunition 'medicine', including the belts and bullet belts on their bodies.

However, in the team of the puppet army that surrendered, there was a lack of one person. This person is none other than the deputy captain of the puppet Hubei County Garrison Brigade who led the team to cooperate with the Japanese reinforcements. This old man once again played to his strengths, and actually slipped away unknowingly on this battlefield where bullets and bullets rained.

It's similar to the last time Li Ziyuan attacked Pingchuan Town and dug three feet into the ground, and he didn't dig out this old man who didn't know where to hide from underground. This time, neither the Japanese puppet army participating in the war nor the Li Ziyuan unit that set up an ambush noticed when this guy slipped away from the battlefield.

It's just that for Li Ziyuan, as long as the Japanese army didn't run away. As for the pseudo-deputy captain of the garrison who has great powers in running away, he ran away and ran away. That guy is not Wang Tieshi, even if he catches it, it will not be of much benefit to him, but it will be a burden.

Now I know that after this battle, I must not stay here, and I am afraid that the encirclement of the Japanese puppet army will be Li Ziyuan. After quickly cleaning up the battlefield and collecting the weapons of the puppet army, he quickly retreated with the trophies on his shoulders. As for the puppet army who refused to fight right after surrendering, Li Ziyuan didn't even look at it, and was directly released on the spot.

In fact, Li Ziyuan was not worried that the Japanese puppet army in Pingchuan would come out to reinforce, even after the start here, Pingchuan Town was like being stabbed in the ass, and the 'fierce' made people think that the main force of the Eighth Route Army was attacking Pingchuan Town. But from the beginning to the end of this battle, the shadow of the puppet army left behind in Pingchuan was not seen.

It is obvious that Wang Tieshi hates to be interested, and the guns are made for the Japanese to see. As for coming out to reinforce this side, he didn't dare to kill him. He had two squadrons in Pingchuan Town, and now one has been dispatched. The remaining one is completely his descendant's squadron, and he still has to keep the family care home, where he dares to send reinforcements here.

And the one he sent out had long been regarded by him as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the 'flesh', and he was only happy to be killed by the Eighth Route Army once. Also reinforcements? To hell with it. As for the fact that the Japanese have died a lot, it is certainly difficult to 'communicate'. But if their nest is lost, if the mountains of food and supplies here are burned down at one time, the Japanese will not be able to spare themselves.

Although Li Ziyuan doesn't know much about Wang Tieshi's personality, he can be sure of one thing. Among the Japanese puppet troops reinforced this time, although the number of puppet troops was enough for a squadron, this guy did not appear in the queue. It shows that when facing his guy's opponent, he is definitely not at ease with his nest.

If there was no sound in the direction of Pingchuan, and the guns and cannons were unprecedentedly 'fierce' for a while, Li Ziyuan would have to worry. The sky is falling apart here, and Pingchuan Town is so close that it is impossible not to notice it at all. If there is no response from there, it means that the devil's reinforcements have arrived. At present, the gunfire in the direction of Pingchuan is so 'fierce', indicating that the Japanese puppet army has not yet arrived.

What Li Ziyuan was really worried about was that the Japanese army in Hubei County would arrive in a short time. The Japanese puppet army in Pingchuan was dispatched, representing the fact that the Japanese army had cleared out and knew that the convoy had been attacked. Now that he has defeated the reinforcements of the Japanese puppet army, it is strange that the ass of the Japanese army in Hubei County can call the shots.

The mobility of the Japanese army is not comparable to that of the puppet army. The most important thing is that the Japanese army in Hubei County at present, no matter what kind of troops it is, its combat effectiveness is far from being comparable to that of the puppet army. The main reason why he was able to annihilate the two Japanese squads this time was that he caught the Japanese army's eagerness to reinforce the attacked convoy, and he did not expect that he would do the opposite, and his own paralysis and carelessness.

When he was on the march, he was not ready for battle, and the amount of ammunition in his hands was quite sufficient. Only then can there be those who are calculating or unintentional, and concentrate forces and firepower to solve the battle in the shortest possible time. Although he won two battles in a row, Li Ziyuan, who was very sober-headed, was not so arrogant that he thought that his troops could really annihilate two Japanese squads in a short period of time by fighting with the Japanese army on this kind of plain terrain.
