Changchi is 11 kilometers away from the county seat of Yuxian County.

Just after Xiao Siming led his team to evacuate from the Tibetan Mountain Temple overnight, early the next morning, the first brigade of the 136th Wing of the 118th Infantry Brigade of the 109th Division of the Japanese Army, which had captured the county seat of Yuxian, rushed to Changchi.

The captain of the devil brigade led a group of squadron leaders and squad leaders to personally inspect the 26 corpses of devils killed by Xiao Siming and the first squadron of the second brigade in the small mountain village, and looked at them very carefully, even judging what guns were used and the distance of each shot.

Then, the captain of the devil brigade left a squadron of infantry squadrons and a squad of machine gun squadrons to assist the first squadron of the second brigade to defend Changchi, and personally led the main force to the Tibetan Mountain Temple.

At the Tibetan Mountain Temple, the little devil met a Tibetan Mountain Temple monk who greeted them with a small sun flag, and the monk took the little devil directly to the back mountain. There were fifty-four corpses of devils stripped down to their crotch pants and identity tags.

The monks of the Tibetan Mountain Temple sat cross-legged in front of the corpse of the devil, knocking on the wooden fish, playing Buddhist music, Sanskrit singing, and holding a ritual for the little devil to transcend the soul.

This is all confessed by Xiao Siming, the purpose is to protect the Tibetan Mountain Temple and protect the monks of the Tibetan Mountain Temple.

The captain of the devil brigade who led the team looked at the corpse of a sleek Yamato warrior, was sad and indignant, pulled out his command knife, raised it high, and roared at the sky for a long time that no one could understand the monks of the Tibetan Mountain Temple, and then ordered the troops to line up and held a simple mourning ceremony.

The results of the review made the captain of the devil brigade and those squadron leaders and squad leaders gasp!

The Japanese army has always been known for its shooting skills and assassination skills, but the officers who have seen the corpses of these devils have found that their accurate shooting skills are not unique in this world. The corpse of the devil in front of him, except for a few people who were shot in the back and chest, everyone else was shot in the head, some were shot in the forehead, some were shot in the back of the head, some were shot in the ears and eyes, etc., anyway, they were all shot in the head.

Seeing this, the devil officers already knew that this devil squad had encountered a sniper who could not exist in the Chinese army, and was shot in the head by a sniper pistol. As for the soldiers who were shot in the back and abdomen, they should have been killed by others.

Looking at the only pieces of crotch cloth and identity cards left on the warriors of the imperial army, the devil officers knew even more in their hearts, this was killed by the Eighth Route Army that ambushed the Itagaki Division at Pingxingguan. Because the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army don't need the clothes on the soldiers of the Imperial Army, as long as they have weapons and equipment, they won't want to kill the clothes on people's bodies!

The Japanese troops, who had found out the reason, set up a few piles of dry firewood in the ditch, poured gasoline on them, and cremated the corpses of 54 devils into small cloth bags.

The angry captain of the devil brigade commanded the troops to jump up and down on the Tibetan mountains, machine gun sweeps, and grenadiers in an attempt to blast out the Eighth Route Army hidden in the shadows, but in vain. In the end, the devil even found the cave where the wounded had been hidden, but there was nothing in it, only a few dozen pairs of straw sandals and the grass laid on the stone slabs.

The devil had no choice but to bring the monks of the Tibetan Mountain Temple back to the Tibetan Mountain Temple for coercion and temptation, wanting to ask where the Eighth Route Army had fled!

The monks of the Tibetan Mountain Temple replied unanimously, saying that after the imperial army arrived at the Tibetan Mountain Temple yesterday morning, they cooked and ate in the temple, and then sent five imperial troops to the back mountain. After a while, several gunshots rang out from the back mountain, and the second group of imperial troops followed into the back mountain. This time, the gunfire was more intense, and the imperial troops in the shrine all drove towards the back mountain, followed by fierce gunfire. The monks in the ancestral hall waited until it was dark and did not see the return of the imperial army, thinking that the imperial army must have left from the back mountain, and they didn't care. When I got up this morning, the ancestral hall sent someone to the back mountain to see if there were any wounded in yesterday's battle who needed to be treated, but the body of the imperial army was found, and I hurried back to report. The presiding officer took all the monks to do the deeds, prayed for the blessings of the deceased, and hoped that their souls would return to the East as soon as possible!

The interrogation did not come out of a reason, and the captain of the devil brigade had nowhere to vent his anger, so he ordered the devil soldiers to use axes to cut down the big tree in front of the gate of the Tibetan Mountain Ancestral Hall, wanting to leave a mark in the Tibetan Mountain Ancestral Hall. Unexpectedly, the big tree was hard, and the blood-red juice flowed out when it was chopped, and the devil soldiers who cut down the tree were so frightened that they dropped their axes and ran, shouting in Japanese that the tree god was angry while running, and he ran away!

How did the little devil know that the sap of this tree itself is red!

The captain of the devil brigade tossed in the Tibetan Mountain Temple until the afternoon, and then led the team to withdraw in disgrace, and rushed into several villages on the side of the road, preparing to massacre and retaliate. Unexpectedly, the village was empty, not to mention people, and there was no trace of livestock and livestock. The little devil was so angry that he burned down all the houses in several villages, and the light of the fire reflected the sky red in the cold night, and burned all night.

It's winter, and without a house, how can the villagers live? Damn little devils!

After returning to Changchi Street, the captain of the Devil Brigade immediately convened a meeting of the squadron leaders, analyzed and analyzed, and determined that the 26 imperial army warriors in the small mountain village and the team behind the mountain shrine were all done by a group of troops of the Eighth Route Army. In this Eighth Route Army, there is a sniper with superbly marksmanship. Judging from the search situation, there are not many soldiers in this group of Eighth Route soldiers, and they should be hiding in the hidden cave in the mountain behind the Tibetan Mountain Ancestral Hall, and they met the squad of the First Squadron of the Second Brigade that entered the mountain to search, and relied on snipers to seize the Tomosaka rifle and win with sniper tactics. Then, this small unit of the Eighth Route Army, fearing the retaliation of the large forces of the Imperial Army, moved overnight. On the way to the transfer, he met 26 Imperial soldiers who had gone to a small mountain village to clear the area, and took Tomosaka rifles and southern pistols made in the Japanese Empire, and brutally shot the 26 Imperial Army warriors.

At this time, ordinary Japanese officers and soldiers did not understand what sniper tactics were. This devil captain can see at a glance that the small unit of the Eighth Route Army is using sniper tactics, which is indeed not simple. This guy has the potential to go to the Army University and be further promoted!

After ascertaining the situation, the Japanese captain felt that this small unit of the Eighth Route Army should still be hidden near Changchi. Because when they searched the cave, they could see from the grass and straw shoes that this was a team of wounded people hiding behind the Tibetan Mountain Temple to recuperate. Since it was a team of wounded, the march would not be fast, they would not be able to run far.

The captain of the devil brigade originally planned not to launch an attack on the area of the Upper Society for the time being the next day, but he asked the Wing Headquarters, and His Excellency the Wing Commander ordered him to launch an attack on the area of the Upper Society as soon as possible. According to the intelligence, the divisional headquarters, brigade headquarters, and wing headquarters judged that the Eighth Route Army, which had been operating in Yuxian, had pushed to the front line of the Hutuo River. The First Brigade should attack rapidly, break the enemy on the front line of the Hutuo River, cross the Hutuo River, and capture Wutai County, the hinterland of the Jinjin-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, Nie Rongzhen.

The Devil Captain reported the losses of the First Squadron of the Second Brigade to His Excellency the Wing Commander via radio, but he did not expect His Excellency the Wing Commander to call back and say that it was a small guerrilla force of the Eighth Route Army, so there was no need to worry. As long as the county town of Wutai is captured, the goal of this operation will be achieved, and we should strengthen our confidence in the battle!

The reason why the Japanese army mobilized more than 20,000 troops to besiege the newly established Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region in eight directions was strategically to eliminate or expel the Chinese troops in this area, destroy the newly established Jin-Cha-Ji Border Region regime, and remove the threat to the safety of transportation in its rear. Tactically, the reason why the Japanese army adopted the tactics of dividing and attacking together on the eight routes was because at this time, after the Battle of Taiyuan, the Japanese First Army had not completely completed the repair and replenishment of the troops, and the Japanese Second Army launched an offensive operation on the Jinpu line. In this way, the Japanese army seems to be menacing, but in fact, there are insufficient troops on every road, and it is like sprinkling pepper noodles in the vast Taihang Mountain, Heng Mountain, and Wutai Mountain Range.

The Captain of the Devil Brigade knew that the progress of the Japanese troops on all walks of life was not going well, and the reason why His Excellency the Wing Commander strictly ordered him to continue to advance north was because he was anxious to see the results of the battle and to encourage him to make contributions to His Majesty the Emperor!

Since he had to attack and advance to the Shangshe area tomorrow, and there was no time to search for and suppress the small unit of the Eighth Route Army, the captain of the devil brigade decided to set a trap in Changchi to lure and annihilate this hateful squad of wounded soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

That night, the captain of the devil brigade ordered the radio to contact the third squadron of the second brigade in the east of Yuxian County, but unfortunately the distance was too far and could not be contacted.

As for the transport team and infantry detachment stationed in the county seat, the captain of the devil brigade did not have the slightest worry. Because there is also a special team from the northeast in the city, those guys are all traitors to the Anti-Japanese Federation, they are the best at fighting guerrilla warfare, and their noses are very sensitive, and it is impossible to escape their eyes if there is a slight breeze. Moreover, the city wall of Yuxian City is strong, not to mention the wounded squad of the Eighth Route Army, that is, the branch army can't gnaw at a battalion or a regiment. If there is really a short-sighted army attacking the county seat, it would be better, after receiving the report, he immediately led the main force of the brigade back to the county seat, and gathered the army that attacked the county seat under the fortified city!

What the captain of the devil team didn't expect was that he only thought that the reason why the Eighth Route Army stripped off the clothes on the corpses of the Japanese soldiers was to keep out the cold, but he didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army had another purpose in picking up the Japanese military uniforms, that is, to disguise the Japanese army's sneak attack!

This is not to blame the captain of the devil brigade, at this time it was the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War, and there had not been a case of the Chinese army camouflaging the Japanese army to attack the Japanese army! Moreover, in the impression of the Japanese officers, the soldiers of the Chinese army were illiterate and did not even know Chinese characters, so where could they speak Japanese! Camouflage the Japanese army's sneak attack is simply a fantasy!

The next morning, when the Japanese captain led the main force to march into the Shangshe area, he specially left a heavy machine gun squad and two infantry squads for the first squadron of the second brigade left behind in Changchi, and let the first squadron set up an ambush circle in Changchi, waiting for the small units of the Eighth Route Army to take the bait!

Will Xiao Siming step into the trap?
