This confusion did not last long, and the performance of the Japanese puppet army outside the city gave Xu Hu a very reasonable explanation.

For more than 100 days, the puppet army did not rush forward in a daze as if they were sent to death.

After leaving the city, kill directly to the village not far from the city gate. When they left the village, there were either chickens or ducks hanging on the rifle bayonets, a dozen puppet soldiers carrying the pigs and sheep they had just grabbed in pairs, and a dozen devils drove a dozen women out of the village like a show of power.

"The little devil of the dog day, it turned out that he was tired of staying in the city, he ran out to burn, kill and rob, and rob women, and it was really a bunch of animals!" Xu Hu gritted his teeth and scolded angrily.

"Platoon commander, these women must not be brought into the city by devils, otherwise they will definitely be ruined by devils, and they must be rescued!" Liu Pingquan, the leader of the reconnaissance squad, said anxiously.

More than a dozen subordinates around him seemed to have been discussed, and they all asked Xu Hu to fight with a look of righteous indignation!

"Okay, kill these beasts!" Xu Hu quickly made a decision.

"However, we must hurry up, this is only two kilometers away from Laiyuan City, as long as a gun is fired here, the devils in the city can be killed in ten minutes. That means we'll only have five minutes to fight, and then we'll retreat with the women who have been snatched by the devils! ”

Liu Pingquan immediately replied: "Platoon commander, there must be no problem!" ”

"Although there are many Japanese puppet soldiers, there are only more than 50 real devils, and there are no more than 70 officers in the middle of the puppet army. After the regiment commander added some veterans to us, there were sixteen people in each squad, as long as one of us killed the four devils and the officers of the Imperial Cooperative Army, the remaining soldiers of the Imperial Association Army would definitely not dare to resist! ”

Soon, a simple ambush position appeared on a slope more than 300 meters in front of the Japanese puppet army.

Seventeen people, including platoon commander Xu Hu, were all ambushed on the slope on one side of the road, which was more than 100 meters away from the road.

But because it was only three miles away from Laiyuan City, it meant that the reconnaissance platoon had to settle the battle in three minutes, and then retreat quickly, and it was not possible to retreat along the road.

After more than 100 days of puppet troops completely entering the ambush circle, Xu Hu was the first to shoot, and then Liu Pingquan and more than a dozen sharpshooters shot.

"Papapa......" A short burst of gunfire quickly broke the silence of the battlefield.

Japanese squad leader, Jun Cao, machine gunner, company commander of the Imperial Allied Army, platoon commander...... Qi Brush all fell to the ground, with a dead expression.

When the Japanese puppet army was suddenly attacked, the already panicked Japanese puppet army saw that all the officers were dead at once, and the already panicked mood directly intensified.

I don't care about what I just snatched, I threw it on the highway and ran away. The Japanese puppet army, who reacted a little faster and was still a little sensible, lay on the ground.

At this time, the difference between the Japanese army and the Imperial Allied Army was directly manifested on the battlefield.

The puppet army's first reaction when lying on the ground was to save his life, holding his head motionless to avoid attracting the attention of the Eighth Route Army.

But the devils are different, whether they are recruits or veterans, after a short period of confusion, they all lie on the ground to fight back.

They react quickly, and the scout platoon responds even faster.

In the blink of an eye, the second round of gunfire rang out on the battlefield.

All the Japanese puppet soldiers on the road who held their rifles in their hands and wanted to counterattack were all attacked by bullets.

In less than a minute, there was not a single Japanese puppet army on the road that was counterattacking.

Xu Hu didn't waste much time, leaving a few sharpshooters to continue to stare at the road, and the others directly rushed towards the road with their pistols.

There were no incidents in the raid, all the officers of the Japanese army and the Imperial Allied Army were killed, and 86 Imperial Allied troops were taken prisoner as reconnaissance platoons.

With the help of these captives, Xu Hu managed to retreat five minutes before the arrival of Japanese reinforcements.

A day later, all the prisoners and captures were returned to the station.

He Wen, the deputy political commissar in charge of the prisoners and training, immediately dealt with them according to the old rules of the independent regiment.

The Independent Regiment had just experienced a major battle, and its troops were in dire need of replenishment. Compared with those newly trained recruits, the successfully converted captives are obviously more popular with the troops, and they will not affect the combat effectiveness of the troops in the least.

Therefore, as soon as these dozens of prisoners arrived at the station of the independent regiment, they were targeted by several battalion and company commanders.

In the face of their constant urging calls, Deputy Political Commissar He Wen could only seize the time to transform these prisoners, and then divide them quickly.

After the speed was faster, He Wen's scrutiny of the captives was much less.

Of course, even if the censorship was still as strict as usual, the few intelligence officers who Nakamura Nakasa inserted in the captives would be able to pass easily.

Because, these intelligence agents are all locals, and they were only captured by the devils a few months ago and then added to the Imperial Army.

Unlike the rest of the Imperial Army, they were individually selected for intelligence training for a variety of reasons.

Those who have passed these trainings, and then have no problems with loyalty, have been developed into intelligence officers by Nakamura.

In order to obtain the real information about the Independent Regiment as soon as possible, Nakamura, who racked his brains, decided to carry out a very risky operation: directly insert intelligence agents into the Independent Regiment!

But he also knew that the Eighth Route Army's counterintelligence and anti-infiltration capabilities were not comparable to other Chinese forces.

If one is not good, the intelligence officer who has worked hard to train will not only not be able to enter the Eighth Route Army, but will be served by the Eighth Route Army.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, after learning the news that many of the battles of the Eighth Route Army were converted from prisoners, Nakamura directly thought of this method with the chief of staff, and sent a total of six intelligence officers to the Eighth Route Army as prisoners at the cost of an infantry squad and a company of the Imperial Cooperative Army, and then joined the Eighth Route Army.

Nakamura did it.

Because the independent regiment urgently needed the Imperial Allied Army to capture this kind of veteran, after a simple screening, all six intelligence officers were added to the three main battalions.

Although these six intelligence officers are all lowest-level fighters, they can only have access to the company commander at most. However, they still let them figure out the strength of their infantry company in a very short time.

As for the direct subordinate units of the three battalions of the independent regiment, each intelligence officer knows a little, and all six of them can be put together to piece together an approximation!

After reading the steady stream of information sent back by the intelligence officers, Nakamura's first reaction was not to believe his eyes.

Because, the equipment of the independent regiment is really good, completely beyond his own understanding of the Eighth Route Army.

Each infantry company was equipped with three grenadiers, four light machine guns with crooked handles, and more than 100 three-eight covers. In terms of firepower alone, it was already able to fight against two infantry squads of the Imperial Army.

With such powerful firepower, even if the individual ability of the troops is a little worse, there is no problem at all against an infantry squad of the Imperial Army, no wonder this independent regiment can eat an infantry squadron of the Imperial Army casually!
