"Company commander, is there some conspiracy among the devils. Shouldn't they retract to Laiyuan City now to reorganize their troops? Why did it come out! Zhou Zhengyang, the leader of the second platoon, asked with a frown, very incomprehensible.

A trace of helplessness quickly flashed on Zhang Qing's face, and then he replied: "The devil wants to repeat the old trick!" Didn't we suffer the loss of their receiving troops just now, they must have been worried that we would ambush their troops back to the city again, and then they sent the receiving troops out so early, so that we could hit our heads again and break the blood! ”

Zhou Zhengyang hurriedly asked: "It's not okay to ambush, the devils are prepared, so what should we do next, are we watching the devils enter the city!" ”

"The raid will definitely not work, plus the receiving troops, the total strength of the devils is more than a squadron. As long as they defend on the spot, we won't be able to surprise them even if we put the whole company on top! The devil reacts too fast, and he has to think of something else! Zhang Qing affirmed.

At this time, instructor Zhao Wenhua and guard platoon leader Zhong Yusheng rushed over with their troops as if they had discussed it.

After listening to the introduction, Zhao Wenhua had no choice. But Zhong Yusheng, who had been with Wang Ping for the longest time, did have a thoughtful expression.

Although Zhong Yusheng was only a platoon commander, because he followed the battalion commander every day, Zhang Qing did not dare to despise him at all.

"Old Zhong, do you already have an idea!"

Zhong Yusheng thought about it and replied: "Company Commander Zhang, I think you got a wrong question and fell into a misunderstanding!" ”

"The task given to us by the battalion commander is to kill and injure a large number of devil veterans, one by one, but he did not ask us to be annihilated. It's too close to the county seat, so we can't concentrate too much, otherwise the devils will come over with a round of shells, and we may all be wiped out. Therefore, it is almost impossible to completely annihilate the devil's troops back to the city alive and severely through a battle! ”

Zhang Qing replied angrily: "Isn't this nonsense? I also knew that this solution was not going to work, and then I stayed here and thought of something else! ”

Zhong Yusheng actually smiled at this time, and explained to Zhang Qing and Zhao Wenhua: "As I said just now, both of you have fallen into a misunderstanding. Since we can't hit the devils hard, then we will do the opposite, piecemeal, and consume them little by little. ”

"When we were still in the Red Army, we were the best at fighting, you are all old Red Army, don't forget our roots!"

"Guerrilla warfare!" Zhang Qing and Zhao Wenhua replied in unison.

At the same time, the two of them also had the same smiles on their faces as Zhong Yusheng. After the two glanced at each other, Zhang Qing said first.

"Instructor, you say it first!"

"Then you're welcome!" Zhao Wenhua did not hesitate.

"When we found out that the devils returned to the city, they were still at least two kilometers away from the city gate, and if we used guerrilla warfare to fight them, even if they had a receiving force, they would not be afraid."

"Our light weapons and equipment are no worse than those of devils, they can retreat after a few rounds of bullets from a long distance, and they can also bury treacherous mines on the way they must go! Didn't they bring a lot of big carts? We can also destroy the official roads, slow down their retreat, and give us a long time to fight them with guerrilla warfare! ”

"Even if we only kill two or three devils in a hundred meters, when they finally retreat to the city gate, a team will be reimbursed by us!"

Zhang Qing then added: "We can still divide the troops into two routes, didn't the devil send a receiving force?" We can also draw some soldiers to fight them with guerrilla warfare, so that the devils in Laiyuan City will lose their wives and soldiers, and the losses will be even greater! ”

"That's what it means!" Zhong Yusheng affirmed!

"Now we are short of troops, and when the other two companies arrive, we can still find a way to ambush the devils. Of course, the ambush I am talking about is not a large-scale ambush battle that eats the retreating troops of the devils in one bite. Rather, it is a small-scale ambush battle with a platoon as a unit, and when it is hit, it retreats, and does not give the devils any chance to counterattack! ”

"Of course, if the devils have the courage to send troops to hunt us down, then don't be polite to them and eat them directly!"

"However, the devil's forces are so tight now, especially these veterans, unless the devil commander is a fool, he will definitely not send someone to hunt us down!"

Captain Akino led two infantry squads and two companies of the Imperial Association Army, and rushed all the way for nearly four hours, and finally entered the artillery coverage of the Laiyuan City garrison.

Along the way, he was worried that he would be ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, and he was worried and constantly urged his troops to speed up the march.

Now that I'm here, Akino is relieved.

In Akino's opinion, the Eighth Route Army did not dare to ambush itself here even if it had the guts. Because, fighting here may not only be counter-surrounded by the reinforcements of Laiyuan City, but also may be attacked by the artillery fire of the garrison in the city at any time, and the gains outweigh the losses.

In addition, the city has been eliminated from the receiving troops, and if the Eighth Route Army has the courage to attack itself here, it may be attacked at any time!

It was precisely because of this self-confidence that as soon as the troops arrived, Akino gave the order to slow down the march, and by the way, let the troops have a good rest, and when they entered the city, they would give the commander the best state.

There is a word called upward and downward effect, and the squadron leader is confident that it is impossible to be attacked by the Eighth Route Army again, and relaxes. The more than 100 devil soldiers below will definitely let down their vigilance, and the marching columns that have always maintained a battle formation have also become scattered at this time.

In this way, the Japanese puppet army went forward very smoothly for five or six minutes.

With such a smooth march, and being one step closer to Laiyuan City, they became more confident in the squadron leader's judgment, and they slowly became unscrupulous when they walked.

"Bang bang bang...... Da ......" A chaotic but dense series of gunshots suddenly rang out in the cornfield a hundred meters away from the official road.

The bullets that flew over were all directed at the devil walking in the middle of the line. Although he didn't have too many accurate heads, he won because of the large number of them, and he still defeated the four devil soldiers on the spot.

"Yaga, it's the enemy attack! The machine gunners stayed behind to carry out a fire counterattack, repulsing them, and the troops continued to retreat towards the county seat, without stopping! Akino was shocked, he didn't expect that his judgment so confidently would be wrong. However, he did not lose his mind and immediately gave the order to retreat and counterattack the troops, who had already begun to disorganized. ”

"Da da da......" The devil reacted quickly, and as soon as Akino gave the order, two crooked handles began to strafe on the spot.

The two grenadiers also squatted on the ground and began to fiddle with the grenadiers, preparing to use grenades to kill the Eighth Route Army in the sneak attack position.

However, the devil's idea was doomed to fail.

After their gunfire rang out, the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack position more than 100 meters away directly quieted down, as if no one had stayed there.

When the two grenades crossed the parabola and smashed into the sneak attack position just now and exploded, except for seeing some dirt, shrubs and weeds blown away, not even the shadow of the Eighth Route Army could be seen.

Guerrilla warfare was a housekeeping skill for the old Red Army of the separate battalion, and everyone was proficient in it. Coupled with the fact that they have plenty of ammunition and are well equipped, there is no need to fight melee with the devils at all, giving them a chance to fight back.

Therefore, when Zhang Qing gave the order, he repeatedly demanded that the position chosen by the sneak attack troops must be far enough away from the official road, and the retreat route must be set in advance, and the retreat will be carried out.

Because of this order, the devil's counterattack has no effect except for wasting bullets and grenades in vain!
