Looking from the distance, if the control area from Daying Town to Wangzhuang Fort is restored, you can covet Gushanzi to the east and encroach on Paochi, Pingxingguan and other places to the north, so it will not be long before this triangular buffer zone between us and the enemy will become the control area of the devils again.

After reconnaissance in this area, there were about 2,000 combat troops, more than 1,000 construction troops and logistics baggage, among which there were several hundred people forcibly recruited from Fanzhi and other places in Daying Town.

The two battalions brought by Yang Bangzi plus the artillery company and the guard company together were less than 2,000 people, and the order to be carried out was to cut off the communication lines of the devils.

But we can't just watch the devils finish building the road and build the stronghold, and at that time, not only will it be much more difficult to re-block the devil's supply line, but also the Beiyue and Taiyue districts will be cut off by this highway line.

Yang Bangzi stuffed himself in the room for more than an hour, the cigarette pouch and pot were not broken, and finally came up with a way, his troops consumed thousands of catties of food every day, and there were so many devils here, and the food supply did not dare to be interrupted! Right! Just hit the devil's food road!

In the entire triangular area, the villagers have basically been evacuated to the Taihang Mountains, and the devils are unable to replenish the food supply on the spot, and the food depends on the transportation team from Fanzhi and Wangzhuang Fort to the road repair cluster, and the supply is replenished every three days, and the general north line is a large convoy. The southern line is the car convoy.

Yang Bangzi decided to hit the southern front first. Because the supply line on the southern route is long. From Fanzhi County to Daying Town, which is 100 kilometers smaller, the car fleet has to drive for almost two hours, and there are four big strongholds of devils along the way, from west to east, respectively, Xiaruyuezhuang, Juyizhuang, Shahe Town, Jinshanpu, these four strongholds.

Between Shahe Town and Jinshanpu is a highway built along the Hutuo River Valley, the terrain on both sides of the road is more conducive to ambush, the two places are separated by 20 kilometers, and the garrison of Shahe Town is a squadron of devils. There is a company of the puppet army, and there are more Jinshanpu devil garrisons, more than 300 Japanese troops, and more than 400 puppet troops.

After on-the-spot investigation and the information provided by our party's underground organization in Fanzhi County, the devil's grain transportation team is generally about a dozen trucks, with armored trucks and motorcycles to open the way, and there are four to six soldiers escorting the vehicles on each truck, and there are usually two trucks at the end of the team that are specially designed to pull soldiers.

According to the comrades of the underground organizations in Fanzhi and other places. In the past, the supply on this line was about once every half a month, and the supply method was to replenish along the way. To replenish supplies for all the strongholds, the convoy drove along the highway to Lingqiu, and after resting for a few days, it loaded supplies from Lingqiu and returned to Fanzhi, and replenished supplies to each stronghold again along the way.

Now it is almost once in three days, because there are thousands of troops and civilians gathered in Daying Town, and the food supply consumption is very large, so the replenishment of the strongholds along the way is not the task of the convoy that comes once in three days, but a large convoy and more than 20 trucks will be sent to send food supplies to all the strongholds between Daying Town in about half a month.

It seems that the devils still don't know that there is a force of the Eighth Road lurking in the mountains on the east side of Daying Town, so there are not many escort soldiers in the grain transportation team, they think that if the Eighth Road attacks, they will have to fight the engineering construction team that is building roads and building strongholds, and the devils have been operating for more than four years between Jinshanpu and Fanzhi, thinking that the Eighth Road will not come to attack.

Yang Bangzi is bold, don't look between the strongholds guarded by the devil's heavy troops, and dare to pull out his teeth! What's more, the grain transportation team that beat the devil, for the troops who build the road, it is tantamount to drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, and if there is no food, how can they build the road?

The ambush point is set up in the south silt land, which is the basin where the Hutuo River flooded out when the water was in previous years, because the soil is basically silted down by the river mud, so it is named the south silt land, and the highway passes through the small basin, the basin is more than five miles long from east to west, and more than two miles wide from north to south.

It is ten miles away from Jinshanpu, and it is also ten miles to the Shahe devil's stronghold, and the devil will never think that the eight roads will dare to ambush so close to the two strongholds!

After calculating the days according to the intelligence, Yang Bangzi separated the troops, and the second battalion left a company near Gushan to join the guerrillas in Beiyue District to guard the town of Daying and the enemy in Beigushan.

The 3rd Battalion sent a company to lurk at Fort Dai, which was near Shahe Town, and when an ambush battle broke out in the South Silt Field, it quickly cut off the road to block the enemy from coming to the aid of Shahe Town.

The guard company and a company of the 3rd Battalion lurked in Jiajiajing, southwest of Jinshanpu, and waited for the battle to start to block the enemy from Jinshanpu.

All the remaining troops were lying in ambush on both sides of the road with Yang Bangzi, and it was expected that at about 10 o'clock in the morning of the same day, after the convoy entered the Nansildi Basin, they would launch a general attack. The sound of artillery could be heard far away, and the troops who were sending reinforcements from east and west could hear it.

To put it simply, it is to use 500 troops to send reinforcements to block the attack, 1,000 infantry plus artillery to fight the grain transport team, according to the intelligence, the devil's grain transport team of more than 100 people, an average of seven eight roads against one devil, more than enough!

Yang Bangzi is also like a miser, and informed Duyu that he sent a team of more than 400 villagers to come, and this kid is going to pull some food back!

The outcome of the battle is really not suspenseful at all! This highway line has been operated by devils for more than four years, except for a small group of Eighth Road and local guerrillas to attack and disturb, there is really no large force of the Eighth Road, mainly because the stronghold is relatively close to the stronghold, not far from Fanzhi County, plus the airport of Yangmingbao Japanese planes fly together, it can reach the sky above this area in ten minutes, so the Taiyue District of the Eighth Route Army has not made a big move on this highway line!

Yang Bangzi also knew that the plane of the devil was coming quickly, so he set the battle time at fifteen minutes, and asked all units to go from the first cannon to the time they were all under control of the ambush battlefield, no more than fifteen minutes! In this way, even if the devil reports the attack and sends an aircraft to reinforce it, it will take about half an hour for the plane to reach the sky over the battlefield, and at this time, I am afraid that the battlefield will be cleaned up and withdrawn into the mountains on the south side.

The troops in the ambush in the south silt are particularly good! This small basin is close to the Hutuo River, and it is a river mud siltation basin, the soil is fertile, all kinds of plants grow lush, dwarf red willows, small poplars, cork, etc. are all over the mountains, the wild grass is almost one person high, because it is near the highway line of the devil, the common people do not come much, it has become a paradise for animals, badgers, foxes, hares, quails, wild pigeons, and chickadees!

The artillery company placed the two infantry guns half-buried on the top of the slope on the south side, and the muzzle sticking out between the clumps of cork and wild wicker was diagonally facing the road coming from the southwest.

Two shells overturned this behemoth in one fell swoop! Lying on the road, the devils on the four motorcycles were beaten into a sieve by the machine guns that were ambushed in the weeds on the side of the road, and even the motorcycles were blown into a pile of scrap metal by grenades!

The entire ambush circle is arranged in this way, the small heights on both sides are fire support, the artillery and heavy machine guns condescendingly block the entire small basin firepower almost no dead ends, on the hillside is the main attack force of each battalion and company, and it is also the deployment point of heavy firepower at the battalion and company level, and the dense bullets fired from here shroud the cars and devils in their respective areas in the fire net.

At the bottom, next to the grass and roadbed of the road, there are combat teams, which are specially responsible for throwing grenades and shooting the cabs of the trucks under the trucks when the battle starts, and also specialize in beating the drivers and trucks of the devils!

As soon as the devils who reacted quickly jumped out of the car, they were either knocked down by the machine-gun fire on the top of the hillside, or they were beaten down by the grenades and rifles thrown from under the roadbed.

More than a hundred devils, seven minutes! From firing the first shot to killing the last stubborn devil, it took a total of seven minutes! The devils of Jinshanpu and Shahe Town heard the sound of gunfire from the direction of the South Silt Land, and before they had time to gather troops to go out to the rescue, the eight roads of the South Silt Land began to clean up the battlefield!
