This puppet army is a teaching regiment directly under the Second Front Army of Wang's puppet army, and it has been stationed in Kaifeng. It is the descendant of Zheng'er Bajing, who is currently serving as the Second Front Army of Wang's puppet army and the director of the Kaifeng Pacification Office. Although this old man said that before he surrendered to the enemy, he had the names of deputy commander of the Jicha Theater and deputy commander-in-chief of the group army, plus the commander-in-chief of the guerrilla operations and the director of the administrative department.

But although the tablet is high, he has already become a bare-pole commander after the Central Plains War, and he does not have many descendant troops under his command. It's just that after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he used his original prestige in the Northwest Army to gather a group of old troops to mobilize some forces. In addition, he used his senior experience in the Northwest Army to collect the stragglers of the 29th Army.

One of the two army commanders was the former commander of the 29th Army after the 77 Incident, who stayed in Beiping to maintain law and order and was surrounded by the Japanese army, and was unwilling to disarm, and led the troops to stand out and gather a number of local militia groups, as well as the security regiment formed by the 29th Army in Hebei, and the former 29th Army teaching regiment commander.

One is the chief of staff of the former 69th Army, after the former army commander tried to surrender to the enemy and was buried alive, because of some cold lips and teeth, he took refuge with the 69th Army. Although it turned out that when he was in the old Northwest Army, he once served as his chief of staff. But now, he has been serving as a staff member before, and he has suffered enough of not actually controlling the troops, and he attaches more importance to whether he can control the troops.

It's just that among this group of people who are basically from the old Northwest Army, his brother has the most seniority in the former Thirteenth Taibao of the Northwest Army. Moreover, with some senior generals of the former Northwest Army in Nanjing, they were able to speak well and asked for more establishment and supplies, so everyone pushed him to take the lead.

Plus one is his former chief of staff, and the other has been his orderly since he joined the army, and he has been promoted from a soldier to the head of the guard regiment. There is still a part of the incense relationship between several people, and the grasshoppers on a rope are all grasshoppers at the moment, so at least part of the unity can be maintained. However, the two army commanders also have their own little abacus.

The original little brother has grown up, and his body has become hard. Although it is quite obedient, it is not as wishful and caring as it used to be. The position he was in at the moment was extremely complicated. To the north and east were the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, and to the west was the First War Zone of Chongqing. At present, these two are carrying their backs and eye-to-eye with Chongqing.

If these people were co-opted by Chongqing that day, they would come to a battlefield anyway. Not to mention that he has become the commander of the light pole again, he has no value in Nanjing and the Japanese. In this era, having a gun is the king of grass, as long as there are guns and soldiers, you will not suffer anywhere.

This old man also obviously knew this, so after joining the enemy, he expanded the original teaching team into a teaching team. After the surrender of Shandong, the Japanese army supplemented the Japanese army with the weapons that were captured and handed over after fighting against the former Northeast Army in the Sulu Theater.

In addition, some of the equipment supplemented by the Wang puppet government after leaving for Henan was handed over to this teaching regiment and expanded to expand its real descendants. All the instructors were selected by him, and he mostly used the guards around him. The soldiers did not use veterans or prisoners supplemented by the Japanese army, and all recruits were recruited in Kaifeng.

It's just that this so-called training regiment looks well-equipped, but in fact, because there are too many recruits, the actual combat effectiveness is just the same. The equipment is the best in this puppet army, but the combat effectiveness is the worst. Those students who were recruited basically ate for the generous treatment.

Not only the military quality and the will to fight, but also far inferior to those veterans. Although it cannot be said that it will collapse at the touch of a button, compared with the original veterans, the combat effectiveness is less than 30%. In the words of the puppet army itself, the heart of this boss Sun is a bright-looking horse manure egg.

The appearance is indeed fresh, the military uniforms on his body are new, and the feet are all leather shoes. Although the weapons in his hand are all second-hand, the quality is better than that made in Hanyang. It looks mighty and majestic, but if it really compares to combat effectiveness, I'm afraid only God knows. According to the private estimates of the two army commanders, this regiment may not be able to defeat even a battalion of its own troops.

This time, the commander-in-chief and director of appeasement went north to cross the border to participate in the sweep after the transfer of the Japanese army. When he was forced to pursue again, he sent this heart out of the flesh. Originally, I wanted to treat Li Ziyuan as a water dog, and take this opportunity to make some great achievements, so as to create a foundation for subsequent expansion.

According to his calculations, such a well-equipped regiment would not be a problem to defeat the remnants of hundreds of eight routes. As long as this battle is brilliant, the Japanese will look at it differently. It is not impossible to find an opportunity to expand this regiment into a division. As long as you have enough strength in your hands, no matter who owns the world, no one can help yourself.

It's just that this guy doesn't know that although Li Ziyuan is a little depressed now, he is far from the soft-footed crab he imagined. Not only was it not the reservoir dog he expected, but it was definitely a hedgehog that could prick him all over his body. This time, not only did his wishful thinking completely fail, but he no longer dared to hope to enter Jinnan.

Of course, Li Ziyuan didn't know that such a plan he had painstakingly come up with was dealing with such a group of guys. After selecting the ambush site, Li Ziyuan immediately concentrated the troops at hand, spread along the mountains on both sides, and controlled the commanding heights on both sides with small forces.

And deploy all the firepower, all the light machine guns. The more than 1,000 rounds of heavy machine gun ammunition that Zhang Zijian saved when he was blocking the counterattack of the Japanese puppet army were concentrated on the only heavy machine gun that remained. However, Li Ziyuan, who had little ammunition left at hand, still adopted certain tactics.

Li Ziyuan's tactical intention is very simple, not to completely eliminate this puppet army. If it turned out that all the formations of one of his regiments were here, he would definitely not let go of a single person in these thousand puppet troops. But now the third battalion does not know where to go, and he only has five companies on hand. If you want to leave all this puppet army behind, it is easy to be bitten back.

So his tactical intentions are very clear, block the head, cut the waist, and do not hit the tail. This battle turned into a defeat battle, and it was the goal he set for himself to defeat the arrogance of this puppet army, so that they did not dare to bite themselves so arrogantly. As for fighting the war of annihilation, Li Ziyuan somewhat felt that the strength in his hands was a little insufficient.

He is now dealing with a full regiment of the puppet army with two battalions that are not satisfied, and he is still a little unable to eat it in one bite. If one of his regiments were here, he would not hesitate to leave all of this pseudo-legion behind. However, although it is said that the battle is decided, the more ammunition and weapons and equipment captured, the better.

One is continuous fighting, and there are not many captures, and the ammunition at the moment is seriously insufficient. Especially *, which is almost depleted. In the absence of additions, it is really a bit unsustainable. This battle is both a cut off the tail and an opportunity to replenish ammunition.

And those two mortars, He Huizhang has been thinking about it. Since the breakout, his mortar battery has run out of shells, at least for a short time there is nowhere to replenish it. In order to lighten the burden, after being directly ordered to blow up by Li Ziyuan, this guy has been complaining. After seeing that the puppet army behind him was carrying two mortars, this guy's eyes were red.

When the covering troops after the break, they fought and retreated all the way, and the puppet army behind them was introduced into Li Ziyuan's ambush circle. Seeing that the mountain had already entered his ambush circle or so by about two battalions, Li Ziyuan immediately pulled the British rifle in his hand and launched an order to attack on all fronts.

As Li Ziyuan gave the signal to attack, the troops in ambush on both flanks concentrated their firepower and attacked the puppet army at the foot of the mountain that had been stretched in a straight line due to the restrictions of the terrain. And the battalion that rushed through the ambush circle also immediately turned around and stuck at the mountain pass, blocking the road for this puppet army to rush out of the ambush circle.

Chasing Li Ziyuan all the way before, the puppet army, which originally wanted to pick up the cheap, was caught off guard by the dense bullet rain from the mountains on both sides. In particular, the sequence of heavy machine guns and mortars that were given priority was suppressed by Li Ziyuan's Type 92 heavy machine gun, which only had more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition, at the first time.

However, although the combat effectiveness of this puppet army is a little worse, it is also a little fierce in terms of momentum, and it does not collapse in the face of sudden firepower strikes. Although the establishment was disrupted at the first time, it has not yet completely fallen into chaos. Some of the troops, under the command of officers, were able to barely resist.

The two companies that did not enter the ambush circle continued to launch counterattacks outside the ambush circle, trying to rescue the ambushed troops. This puppet army was disrupted from the beginning, and it has not completely collapsed, but it can continue to resist, which is somewhat unexpected by Li Ziyuan.

But under He Sanliang's previous reminder, Li Ziyuan had already made some preparations in the face of this situation. He knew that this kind of soldier would be a puppet army for all the miscellaneous troops, and officers at all levels were still the backbone. In order to completely solve this puppet army in the shortest possible time without having an advantage in firepower and troops, it is necessary to knock out their officers first.

As early as when the ambush circle was set up, Li Ziyuan transferred five sharpshooters from the reconnaissance company. Especially the sniper who had the only sniper rifle in the whole regiment was transferred by him. A few sharpshooters, plus the sniper, had no other task in this battle. They have only one task, and that is to knock out the Japanese soldiers and officers at all levels in the puppet army.

Several sharpshooters selected by Li Ziyuan are veterans of a hundred battles. There are even two of them, who are veterans of Li Ziyuan when he formed the Hubei Basic Guerrilla Army, and he is an apprentice brought out by Guo Laosan. After receiving the order, these veterans naturally knew that they should do this.

The first unlucky one was a pseudo-officer with the rank of captain. After realizing that he had been ambushed, the old man urged his men to attack from a commanding height on the flank with the shell gun in his hand. As a result, a sharpshooter's Type 38 rifle directly opened a skylight in his head.

Subsequently, as long as these pseudo-officers dared to show their faces, one would come out and kill and wound another. Less than twenty minutes into the battle, more than half of the puppet officers in the ambush circle were killed or wounded. More than half of the puppet officers were killed and wounded, and the puppet army, which was still fiercely resisting, immediately weakened. It's just that under the control of the remnants of a few officers, it has not yet collapsed immediately.

Seeing that the morale of the puppet army under the mountain was declining rapidly, the heavy machine gun bullets he only had now had been basically exhausted, and even Li Ziyuan, who had little light machine gun gas ammunition left. Without saying a word, he ordered the trumpeter beside him to blow the charge horn and launched a charge on the whole line.
