Zhang Ergou!

This is not his nickname, but the character of the book before joining the Eighth Route Army Assault Regiment, and now, he has changed his name to Zhang Weiguo.

At the age of twenty-two, he has had a lot of experiences: his mother died shortly after giving birth to him, and his father died when he was 14 years old.

When he was herding cattle, but he was robbed of the cattle by the bandits when he was herding the cattle, he was also interesting, and when he saw that he couldn't make a difference when he went back, he simply followed the bandits up the mountain.

While robbing a small village, I fell in love with a girl. Soon, their small bandit was swallowed up by other big bandits, and he actually quit and went to the girl's house to become a son-in-law.

became a carpenter with peace of mind, and by the way, he also asked his daughter-in-law to run a small shop selling needlework and thread in the village.

Half a year later, bandits came to rob the village, and his daughter-in-law committed suicide by jumping into a well in a humiliated manner.

Later, the little devil came, and he also fought with the little devil.

After the little devil occupied the county seat of Sanqiao County, he did not retreat like some backbone people, but instead pulled up some comrades-in-arms, went to the village to pull some relatives, and went up the mountain to the grass.

The strength is not good, and he can't beat the little devils, and he can't even beat the second devils.

He is also interesting, or very smart, so he simply turned his head and went to clean up the family of the two devils. Looting, kidnapping, and other means were used to the extreme, and when he got something, he also gave a small part to the poor people, so that his strength swelled dramatically.

Naturally, it aroused the hatred of the little devil and the second devil.

In the end, his cottage was also wiped out by the little devils.

At this time, the assault group came, and he joined the assault regiment as soon as he was heartbroken.

Now, he is the deputy platoon commander of the third platoon of the second company of the second battalion of the assault regiment and the leader of the second squad.

Pigeon mouth!

I don't know why it's called that, because according to the topography of this area, if you look down from the high mouth, the terrain here looks like a fallen man, with his head facing east and tail facing west (in the direction of Sanqiao County), and in the middle is a flat with a slender 'pigeon's belly...... The exact name should be pigeon land.

The assault regiment has been here for about half an hour.

At this time, to the left of the pigeon's belly, the 2nd Battalion of the Assault Regiment was digging trenches, and the 1st Battalion was digging trenches on the right, and the artillery company and the temporary headquarters of the regimental headquarters were placed at the tail end of the pigeon. The assault regiment and the artillery company are buying mines in the belly of the pigeon.

As far as the eye can see, it's all busy...... They had to sweat so profusely, because the gunfire not far away was getting clearer and clearer.

After Zhang Weiguo dug for a while, he straightened his waist, held a hoe in his left hand, and wiped the sweat on his forehead casually with the sleeve of his right hand, but his eyes were fixed on the east, and the sound of gunfire became clearer and clearer...... The first time I heard the sound of gunfire was four or five miles away from the pigeons, and at that time, I could only hear it faintly.

Immediately, after two intermittent sessions, this time, the hearing was unusually clear. Even, if you listen carefully, you can faintly hear the sound of shouting and killing.

Zhang Weiguo has been in the assault group for four months, and he has fought several battles, not to mention that he has also been a bandit and fought before, so he naturally knows: the clearer the gunshot, the closer the battlefield is to here. From the faint sound of gunfire at the beginning, to now even the sound of shouting and killing, Zhang Weiguo understands in his heart: the little devil is not far from the pigeon's mouth.

What puzzled Zhang Weiguo was: Obviously, the gunshots are getting more and more urgent every time, and the shouts of killing are getting louder and louder every time, but why is the little devil's advance faster and faster? This is not in line with common sense!

What surprised him a little was that although the mission of the county guerrilla brigade was not to really fight with the little devils, it was just to block the little devils' advance speed and block the little devils in sections. But judging from the time period when the gunshots are getting closer and closer, the little devil's advance speed is a little too fast, right?

"Comrades, work hard! Dig fortifications and fight devils!"

After smiling and encouraging everyone, Zhang Weiguo began to sweat and dig trenches again.

Even grassroots cadres like Zhang Weiguo can judge that the little devil's advance speed is very fast, not to mention a general with very rich battlefield experience like Zhang Qingshan. I had already sent people along the avenue to inquire about the Sanqiao County Guerrilla Brigade.

It turned out that this was because the county guerrilla brigade's blocking attack was very effective, especially the first time, and at the beginning, it almost stunned the little devils: they had almost never failed on the big battlefield on the Chinese battlefield, and since the attack on China, they developed their arrogant mentality and naturally disdained the Chinese army. Especially the assault regiment, which is not even listed in the regular establishment of the Eighth Route Army, naturally looks down on it even more. He was not even willing to investigate more, and subjectively believed that the assault regiment was nothing more than a rabble, relying on a large number of people, taking advantage of the Japanese army's concentration of troops and energy to fight on the front line, so that the assault regiment would pick up some cheap in the rear. Now, they have transferred some troops back from the front, and the victory in the Battle of Taiyuan has made them look down on the Chinese army more and more, and there is no such rabble as the assault regiment in their eyes.

Therefore, when a part of the Sanqiao County Guerrilla Brigade was blocked for the first time, these little devils were really a little uncomfortable.

However, in the end, they are all veterans who have just been withdrawn from the battlefield, and they react quickly.

Indeed, the first resistance of the county guerrilla brigade was quickly repulsed...... The county guerrilla brigade also knows the gap between its own strength and the gang of little devils in front of it, and it is the king to take advantage of it and leave, otherwise, to put it mildly, their strength is really not enough for the little devils in front of them.

So, seeing that the sneak attackers were repelled after a few efforts, the little devil laughed and didn't bother to pursue, it was better to take back Sanqiao County and its other two counties as planned as soon as possible.

So, pack up and move on.

However, less than two miles away, another crackling gunfire rang out.

This time, the little devils reacted really quickly......

After only a few more minutes, the little devil's firepower network was just about to be completed, and the other party took the initiative to disappear again.

This time, the little devil was a little angry, and he seemed to understand something, but he couldn't say it specifically, so he was helpless, and he still didn't want to chase and move on.

After walking two or three miles, there was another crackling gunfire on the left side of the road, and this time, the sneak attackers also played some new tricks, actually hiding in the woods and shouting "Rush! Kill!" and so on.

This time, the little devil's reaction was almost fast, or rather, he had a neurotic reaction to being harassed by a sneak attack. Almost as soon as the gunshot reached the ears, before the brain could make a command, the body had already given a reply - immediately lie down!

This time, the sneak attackers did not shoot a few shots like the previous two times, and before they could set up their machine guns, they slipped away, but fought them patiently for four or five minutes, and then quietly went away under the cover of the woods.

At this time, if the little devils still don't understand what the idea of these sneak attackers is, it will not be a shame for the soldiers, but a shame for their own intelligence.

In addition, these three sneak attacks hindered the speed of their advance, not to mention, and also dealt a certain blow to their previous surging morale, plus they had to rush to the county seat of Sanqiao County as soon as possible, and at the same time, they didn't want to play this game of fighting and running with the county guerrilla brigade again, so the little devil was very arrogant and directly transferred the three armored vehicles to open the way.

I have to say that this arrangement of the little devil is very powerful: with these three armored vehicles on the road, even if the sneak attackers want to get into the previous sneak attack nuisance, they can not stop, but cover with machine guns on the armored vehicles, which can chill the sneak attackers.

The next few times the Sanqiao County Guerrilla Brigade blocked the attack, it really suffered a loss, and it paid a little price...... A task is a task, no matter what you are facing, no matter how big the price is, you must carry it out. So knowing that the other side has armored vehicles to open the way, they still have to take the risk of blocking it.

And this is why people who hear the gunshots will feel that the little devil's advance speed will get faster and faster, and the gunshots will become more and more dense.

For the county guerrilla brigade, this kind of blockade was quite annoying, but for Zhang Qingshan and them, it was an extremely happy thing, and they even had to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

When Zhang Qingshan heard this, he immediately burst out laughing. Immediately, he also deliberately called the most powerful scud of the assault regiment commander, and asked him to quickly give full play to his strengths, find the county guerrilla brigade along the main road as soon as possible, and tell the county guerrilla brigade that it is so big, but don't work hard, but instead show weakness and pretend to be very stupid to deal with the little devils, cultivate the arrogance of the little devils, and make the little devils think that using armored vehicles to open the road is the only and the most correct way to open the road now.

Then, the little devil was introduced into the belly of the pigeon's mouth, and along the rightmost road, he went up the hill to join the second battalion of the assault regiment and fight together.

The captain of the guerrilla brigade of Sanqiao County originally thought that two miles before he arrived at the pigeon's mouth, he would take advantage of the opportunity of the high terrain on both sides to gather everyone and fight the little devils to extinguish their prestige.

However, after receiving Zhang Qingshan's order, he had no choice but to give up this plan.

Instead, as before, thirty or forty people were concentrated, and they fought with the little devils on both sides of this mountain pass, and as soon as they saw the little devils' armored vehicles firing, they were worthy of a resigned retreat, and they had to run fast, otherwise, it was possible for the little devils to catch up or discover the ambush at the pigeon's mouth.

And in order to smoothly lead the little devil into the ambush circle in the pigeon buckle, they also had to take a risk, gather everyone, and run along the road to the pigeon's mouth.

The land of two miles was all flat land, and as soon as the little devil saw that the person who had been harassing him before was actually in front, his morale immediately rose; he was harassed before, but the other party was too cunning, and he changed places with one shot, so that their excellent equipment did not have time to play at all, and the sneak attackers ran away.

Now, without the cover of mountains and dense forests in front of you, don't you have to be exposed to our sight?

So what are you waiting for, catch up and kill them!

In this regard, not to mention ordinary little devils, even the officers of the little devils, they have no opinion on this, and no one even suspects that there will be an ambush in the mouth of the pigeon. Even if they were skeptical, they were too arrogant and looked down on the assault regiment too much, thinking that they had armored vehicles, artillery, a lot of sophisticated weapons and well-trained soldiers, and even if there was an ambush, they felt that they were fully capable of killing these ambushers - if it was the national army, they might still be a little jealous, after all, the national army's weapons were not too bad. But if it's a rabble that can't even count as the main force of the Eighth Route Army, then there's really no need to worry too much.

In that case, what difference does it make to them whether there is an ambush or not? Maybe they can take the opportunity to kill the main force of the other side, so that they don't have to fight guerrilla attacks with themselves in the mountains, which will be very troublesome...... This is probably the root of the defeat of the arrogant army - if you think too stupid about the enemy, you will make yourself too stupid!

So, the little devil rushed in unscrupulously like a wild boar, and got into the ambush circle......
