Chapter 291: The Japanese Army Takes the Bait

The troops of the 1st Reserve Regiment went to Wanwantan Village, Dahan Village, and Xiaohan Village overnight, and the traitors who were captured alive were knocked unconscious and brought in.

The troops stationed in the three villages overnight will naturally alarm many people, and Sun Weiguo ordered the troops to be stationed outside the villages.

Immediately after that, the first battalion of the first reserve regiment set up the battalion headquarters in Xiaohan Village, and the troops of Wang Tieniu's first company and the fourth company followed the battalion headquarters to garrison Xiaohan Village.

The troops began to dig trenches outside the village, and Sun Weiguo imprisoned the traitors outside the village and sent several soldiers to guard them.

Whether these traitors were sent to Hujiazhuang Village or brought to Xiaohan Village, they didn't know where they were.

Only now did they see the situation around them clearly, and seeing that the troops of the Eighth Route Army were digging trenches, these traitors' eyes began to roll from side to side.

There were only four warriors guarding them, and it was still night, and the traitors felt they had a chance to escape.

You must know that these traitors are all evil, if it weren't for the fact that they still have the value of use, Sun Weiguo would have shot them a long time ago.

The soldiers of the 1st and 4th Companies of the 1st Battalion were digging trenches, while Sun Weiguo set up his regimental headquarters in Zhengjiazhai Village, in the northeast corner of Xiaohan Village.

Following the regimental headquarters stationed in Zhengjiazhai Village were guard companies, artillery companies, reconnaissance companies, and troops of the third battalion.

The troops of the 2nd and 3rd Companies of the 1st Battalion were waiting for orders from the regimental headquarters in the vicinity of Wangtan Village and Dahan Village respectively.

Wanmutan Village and Dahan Village are less than a kilometer away from Donghuangshui Town, both of which are in front of Xiaohan Village, and they form an inverted triangle with Xiaohan Village.

This time, Yin Jin's first battalion was to serve as the main combat unit, and Sun Weiguo also deliberately temporarily transferred two Makqin heavy machine guns from the machine gun platoon of the guard company to the second and third companies.

The warriors were busy, digging trenches and bunkers at a rapid pace.

Time passed bit by bit, and by the time Ling Cheng was past four o'clock, most of the trenches and bunkers had been dug up.

And at this time, the four warriors guarding the traitors were a little drowsy.

The traitors couldn't help but glance at each other when they saw that most of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army had fallen asleep, and that the four soldiers guarding them were drowsy.

Several traitors began to walk quietly, and when they noticed that the soldiers guarding them were not aware of it, they immediately ran.

"The traitor ran away, the traitor ran away." When they had run more than a hundred meters, some fighters began to shout.

Gunshots began to ring, bullets shot towards the traitors, six of the nine traitors who ran were shot dead, and the remaining three traitors ran quickly in the direction of East Huangshui Town like wild horses that had escaped.

The warriors did not go in pursuit either, a smile appeared on their faces, all this was Sun Weiguo's plan.

It's past four o'clock in the morning, which is the best time to sleep, and it is very quiet all around.

If there is a little movement during this time period, it will spread far away, and the gunshots here in Xiaohan Village are faintly transmitted to Donghuangshui Town.

Several ghost soldiers who served as sentries faintly heard the gunshots, and they couldn't help but look around.

There were puzzled expressions on their faces, but the devil soldiers didn't dare to be careless, and they immediately began to inform their superiors.

After a while, the Japanese infantry squadron stationed in Donghuangshui Town began to enter a combat state.

You must know that there are troops of the Eighth Route Army in Yangqu County, and these Japanese troops are very vigilant, which also shows that the troops of the Fifth Division do have good military qualities.

By almost five o'clock, a machine gun squadron, a mountain artillery squadron, a running squadron, and an infantry squadron stationed in Donghuangshui Town were all in combat mode, and even Satoshi Matsumoto, the leader of Nakasa's brigade, came to his senses.

Originally, Wang Mazi went out and did not return, which made Matsumoto Mu Satoshi suspicious, and after hearing the report of his subordinates, he felt that the Eighth Route Army seemed to be moving towards East Huangshui Town.

Just as Matsumoto was about to send his subordinates to check the situation, the three traitors ran back to East Huangshui Town.

The devil soldiers did not dare to delay in the slightest, and they immediately sent the three traitors to the brigade headquarters of Satoshi Matsumoto.

After some interrogation, Matsumoto realized that hundreds of Eighth Route Army had come to the area of Xiaohan Village in East Huangshui Town.

Knowing this news, Matsumoto Satoshi felt a little bad about his whole person, and he kept staring at the map.

Before, he was also ready to defeat the command system of the Eighth Route Army in Yangqu County, but there were already hundreds of Eighth Route Army under his nose, and if his troops wanted to take any action, they would be known by this Eighth Route Army, which made Matsumoto Mu Satoshi feel very uncomfortable.

"Captain, I think this matter should be reported to the wing headquarters, these hundreds of Eighth Route Army troops appear here, maybe the Eighth Route Army troops are preparing to attack Yangqu County."

The captain officer came to Matsumoto Satoshi again, and he looked at his captain and said with a solemn expression.

"However, there are only hundreds of troops of the Eighth Route Army, just these backward troops, I can defeat one of their regiments with one infantry squadron, not to mention that I still have a mountain artillery squadron and a machine gun squadron, chief of staff, I am ready to personally lead the troops to drive away this Eighth Route Army troops, it's a pity, if I have more troops in my hands, I can encircle and annihilate them."

Matsumoto did not take the hundreds of troops of the Eighth Route Army into account, when he fought with the Ninth Brigade, his infantry brigade was on par with the infantry regiment of a German division of the Central Army, and in the end, with the help of the air force and navy, his infantry brigade easily defeated the infantry regiment of this German division.

In Matsumoto's opinion, he led an infantry squadron into battle, and he could easily defeat these hundreds of Eighth Route Army troops, not to mention that he also had a mountain artillery squadron and a machine gun squadron to help in the battle.

"Captain, the troops of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared here, they must have some conspiracy, I suggest you still be careful, even if you want to defeat them, it is better to transfer the second squadron nearby first, there are two infantry squadrons, so that even if we encounter any situation, we will have the ability to protect ourselves."

The lieutenant officer still said that he was the chief of staff of the first brigade, and he felt that this matter was too strange.

Although Matsumoto Mu Satoshi swore an oath, he felt that once the Japanese troops left Donghuangshui Town, they were likely to fall into the trap of the Eighth Route Army.

"Immediately assemble the first squadron, artillery squadron, and machine gun squadron, and I will personally lead the troops to defeat this Eighth Route Army." Satoshi Matsumoto immediately gave the order.

He was very arrogant, he felt that there was nothing remarkable about the Eighth Route Army, and the continuous persuasion of the Japanese captain and officer made him want to prove his ability even more.
