There he lamented how he was so unlucky. It was at this time, when he was sent out to sentry. A large hand suddenly stretched out from behind the tree to cover his mouth, and a sharpened knife slashed his throat, making him eat a meal of white rice to treat his stomach, a goal that could never be achieved.

After taking out the sentry, the man who shot waved his hand. Behind him, a dozen people with rifles on their backs and bayonets in their hands quickly dispersed, and cautiously pounced on the dozen or so Japanese soldiers who were burying their heads in the Japanese garrison position more than ten meters away.

These Japanese soldiers were all Japanese soldiers who were dragged by Li Ziyuan and carried out armed demonstrations for several days. These Japanese soldiers, who had been harassed by Li Ziyuan for several days in a row, had not eaten a good meal, and had exhausted the limited dry food on hand, and could be described as extremely physically and mentally exhausted, were fighting with the rice in front of them with great happiness at this time, and they did not expect that a group of eight roads behind them had already pounced.

These eight-way people who rushed at them were obviously specially trained and knew how not to alarm the enemy as much as possible. Before the Japanese soldiers who were gobbling up reacted, the bayonet had already penetrated their chests after their mouths were covered. This Japanese alert position was solved with almost no shots.

After taking this alert position, these Eighth Route Army troops quickly changed into Japanese military uniforms and swaggered towards the depth of the Japanese position. And behind them, more Eighth Roads had also been unfolded, carefully infiltrating the Japanese positions that had been opened up little by little.

It quickly spread out to the two wings, seized several commanding heights around it, and put on a situation of encirclement. All light and heavy machine guns, as well as several mortars, have also been set up and the target can be locked in the shortest possible time. The firecrackers in several foreign leather iron barrels have also been dismantled from the red paper outside.

If Li Ziyuan was here, he would easily recognize the identities of these eight roads. The person who led the team to infiltrate the Japanese position in camouflage and wore the uniform of a Japanese captain was his reconnaissance company commander Liu Lianming. As for the person who was busy setting up mortars over there, it was none other than his artillery company commander He Huizhang.

As for each with a part of the troops, the person who is ready to come with two wings to outflank him, and the person with the binoculars on his body is not an outsider. One is his current deputy regiment commander Zhang Zijian, and the other is his most important operational staff officer and the only operational staff officer by his side, He Sanliang.

This unit should have received the news and came to meet Li Ziyuan's troops, which are the troops he is now carrying. After this unit arrived at the battlefield, after discovering that the number of Japanese puppet troops around this battlefield was far greater than its own, it did not rashly take a direct attack.

At Zhang Zijian's suggestion, a combination of multi-way outflanking and infiltration was adopted. Once the Japanese puppet army discovers its attempt to infiltrate, it will concentrate all its firepower and cover this Japanese puppet army in the shortest possible time. After rescuing the brother troops trapped on the hill over there, he immediately turned around and retreated.

That is to say, in the event that they cannot be defeated, they are ready to resort to scare tactics. With the sophisticated equipment of his current troops, he tried his best to bluff the Japanese army first, and as long as he could grab someone, he would immediately slip away, such a tactic seemed a little slippery. Although the chances of scaring the Japanese army are not clear for the time being, at least for the time being, the first step is quite smooth.

And the Japanese army, which had lost its warning position, did not know that the Eighth Route had touched into its own position. This group of Japanese soldiers who are busy eating these days, the only serious meal. Not yet felt a sharp bayonet, already hanging over his head.

Even the Eight Roads, who were wearing Japanese uniforms, swaggered into their depths, and no one paid attention to them. All the Japanese soldiers were either busy gobbling up or dozing off the trees. After a few days, they were endlessly harassed by the Eighth Road, did not eat well, and barely slept a single night, so that these Japanese soldiers were exhausted to the peak.

Now that there are others who stand up for themselves, and there are so many troops gathered around, these Japanese soldiers who are sleepy and tired, their first thought is to eat their stomachs and take a good rest. Because no one would believe that with such a large number of Japanese puppet troops in the surrounding area, the Eighth Route still dared to make a bold sneak attack.

At present, there are three Japanese puppet armies in the surrounding area, which belong to three different formations. Their Japanese troops were temporarily transferred from the 37th Division and attached to the 36th Division to carry out this sweep. And the force carrying the real puppet army is the so-called security force of the 36th Division stationed there.

As for the group disguised as a puppet army, it was a condensed infantry brigade that had just been transferred from the Kwantung Army, to be exact, consisting of three infantry squadrons that were each missing an infantry squad. At the moment, a new unit should have been formed, and the rest of the subordinate units have not yet arrived. This unit, which was formed as the backbone, was temporarily assigned to the command of the 36th Division.

The three Japanese armies of different formations are based on the practice that each division and regiment of the Japanese army has a fixed place for recruitment, and even the reserve officers are deployed and trained strictly in accordance with the area to which the division belongs. The officers below the three Japanese armies are unlikely to be familiar with each other.

Just like the 36th Division, all the units under its jurisdiction are from the Hirosaki Division. Whether it is a soldier or a reserve officer, all the four prefectures of Aoyama, Iwate, Akita, and Yamagata, to which the Hirosaki Division belongs to the regimental district. Except for the officers above the rank of captain of the brigade, there is hardly a single out-of-towner among the officers at all levels below the brigade level.

The defense area and the 36th Division stationed in the southeastern region of Shanxi Province are separated by a 37th Division of the Nantongpu Railway. All the reserve officers and enlisted men are from the Kumamoto Division. One of the two divisions is on Honshu Island and the other on Kyushu Island. Even in mainland Japan, which is not very large, it is quite far apart.

The Japanese army's adoption of this method of conscription and expansion of troops can basically ensure the efficiency and quality of the replenishment of troops in wartime, and also allow these soldiers from the same area to be familiar with each other on the battlefield, thus ensuring tacit cooperation within a division and regiment. The soldiers of a division and regiment are all fellow countrymen, and that will definitely ensure combat effectiveness.

However, there were also some problems with this approach of the Japanese army. Under this system, there is little possibility of mobility for non-commissioned officers and soldiers. Even those reserve officers who have also been trained according to the division and regimental management area are very unfamiliar with each other, as long as they are from different divisions and regiments.

At the current pace of the Japanese army's expansion of troops, the limited number of graduates of the army non-commissioned officer school has long been insufficient. Officers below the brigade level, except for the Kwantung Army and a few elite divisions in the Kannai, the rest are mainly reserve officers. These officers, who are divided by people and geography, are not even familiar with each other.

If this is usually fought alone, there will naturally be nothing to each other. But at present, on this small battlefield, there are troops from three Japanese forces of different formations, which is a bit chaotic. What's more, among the three parts of the Japanese army, they all think that there are other people there, and they don't need to worry about it for the time being.

Although all the vigilance troops were dispatched in accordance with the regulations, they were somewhat lax except for the vigilance troops. Especially the Japanese army, which was led by Li Ziyuan for a few days, was exhausted to the top. At this time, someone fights and stands guard for himself, and there is no time to rest?

Therefore, after Liu Lianming solved the warning position, he swaggered into the depth of the Japanese army. Not even one came over and asked what part they were. All the people who were busy eating or resting, although they also felt strange after seeing them, thought they were members of the friendly army.

This part of the Japanese army looks to be heavily guarded on the outside, but in fact it is loose on the inside and tight on the outside. Even this camouflaged Eighth Route Army touched the position of the Japanese army's headquarters. This Japanese army has not yet discovered that some enemies disguised as their own people have infiltrated their interior.

However, when this camouflaged Eight Roads touched the outside of a simple Japanese military headquarters made of sandbags. Their good fortune has come to an end. Outside this command headquarters, he did not expect that the enemy would be so swaggering, directly passing through half of the Japanese army's position and penetrating directly into their headquarters.

Thinking that the safety of the headquarters was absolutely no problem when they were surrounded by their own people, the two guards who were also there at this time regarded them as Imperial soldiers from another Japanese puppet army. When he saw the leader wearing the rank of captain on the neckline, he also stood up and prepared to salute.

For the two Japanese soldiers who approached him, these two guys also regarded them as friendly soldiers. Just because the guards are careless doesn't mean that everyone doesn't take it seriously. Just as the captain returned the salute to the two gun-wielding guards, and the two soldiers behind him also stood silently beside the guards.

A Japanese lieutenant who happened to come out of it met the pretender head-on. In the end, it is an officer, and the vigilance is much stronger than that of the average soldier. Seeing this group of unfamiliar faces in front of him, this Japanese lieutenant reacted extremely quickly. immediately reacted that something was wrong, and while pulling out a gun, he wanted to call the police to the Japanese commander inside.

But his reaction speed is fast, but the opponent's hand is not slow. As soon as he shouted, the bayonet in the other party's hand had accurately penetrated his neck. and the two confused guards were also stabbed in the chest with daggers suddenly pulled out by the people around them. At the same time that this guy fell, a cluster of several* bundled together, consisting of several of them, was also thrown into the command.

The explosion, which was thrown into the headquarters of the Japanese army, was like stabbing a hornet's nest. It turned out that almost all the Japanese troops who were resting were alarmed. But just as they were raising their guns to find the source of the attack, a dense burst of gunfire rang out around them. The Japanese army, who was still in the process of turning around with his head covered, directly knocked down a large area.

As for the dozen or so pretenders who attacked the Japanese headquarters, after throwing them into a cluster*, except for a few people who went to search the Japanese headquarters. Most of them immediately dispersed quickly, taking advantage of the chaos to rush towards the Japanese heavy machine gun position. Or take advantage of the chaos to deal with the Japanese light machine gunners and take away the Japanese light machine guns.

In the first time, he killed the Japanese heavy machine gunners, and after controlling the Japanese heavy machine guns in his hands, he immediately turned the muzzle of the gun and fired at the Japanese troops in the confusion. The others either specialized in fighting the few remaining officers of the Japanese army, or tried to create chaos within the Japanese army. The activities of these internal pretenders exacerbated the chaos of the Japanese army.

At the same time, the entire Japanese position was filled with shouts of killing, as well as the sound of loud military trumpets. A large group of the Eighth Route Army, armed with bayonets, suddenly slaughtered from the rear of the Japanese army. Quickly cut the Japanese army that had not yet recovered from the sudden attack into two sections, and quickly developed into the depth of the Japanese army.
