Chapter 56: Ambush in the Lower Depression

Nothing happened overnight. In these days, nothing is the best thing.

The Japanese puppet army in the Boxer Village was terrified and survived all night, until dawn, when the east saw light, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

In recent days, more and more terrifying news has reached the ears of the Yihezhuang Japanese puppet army: First, Luojiazhen, Songjiazhuang and other strongholds in the east were successively destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, and later I heard that the Eighth Route Army had recently sent a strong cavalry unit to sharpen its knives every day and conduct intensive training in Beidawa. Alas...... This day, one word: difficult!

Originally, after the massacre of Ziyi and Zhuang, the common people were always hateful and cold-eyed, as if they could rush up and bite you at any time, which frightened the Japanese puppet army in Zhuangli to go out at ordinary times, and they were cautious and trembling. Recently, the rumors have become tighter, and it is rumored that the eight-way killer has quietly infiltrated Yihezhuang, and Leng Buding is a flying knife and a cold gun. The Japanese puppet army walked on the street, and they were even more restless, and they felt a chill on their backs from time to time - to be honest: they didn't know when they moved.

Alas! …… It is said that it is difficult to be a man, but in fact, it is even more difficult to be a Japanese puppet army!

"Boom, boom", with a few loud bangs in succession, the puppet army who was holding the gun and shrunk in the wall, just thinking about being confused for a while, jumped up in shock:

"Eight roads are coming! Eight roads are coming! ——", the awakened puppet army shouted as he quickly ran to report to the Japanese devils in the watchtower, and then a dense burst of gunfire came from outside the wall.

The Japanese squadron leader in the watchtower was even more nervous, and while hurriedly directing the battle, he hurriedly called outside to ask for support. In an instant, the huge Yihezhuang was in chaos and became a pot of porridge.

Prior to this, according to the unified deployment of Commander Yang Guofu, the Eighth Route Army had already ambushed two elite teams in two important places in Xiawa Town and Hutan Town.

Xiawa Town is located in the middle of Zhanhua County and Yihezhuang in the west, slightly close to Yihezhuang, is a low-lying barren beach, hence the name Xiawa. Due to the deep grass in the shoals, it is very suitable for ambushes.

Hutan Town of Tonglijin County in the south, although the terrain is not low-lying, but the road is lined with dense forests and wild grasses, according to legend, there are often tigers in the early years, so it is called Hutan. It is also an excellent place for ambushes.

On the west side, the Sharp Knife Company was responsible for the ambush, and Fu Ruiwu's cavalry company cooperated in the battle. Under the leadership of Yun Shangren and others, the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company quietly ambushed in the grass on both sides of the road in advance, while the cavalry company ambushed in a deep ditch not far away. Because the soldiers of the cavalry company participated in the battle for the first time, they were all gearing up and eager to try, especially those soldiers whose hometown was from Yihe Zhuang, they were really gearing up and impatient, their eyes widened, and they looked like they were asking for their lives.

It was almost noon, listening to the intermittent gunfire of Yihezhuang in the distance, and the soldiers lying in the grass were secretly anxious, muttering quietly, doubting whether the enemy would not come. Suddenly, as soon as I looked up, I saw a team of people in the distance, led by a plaster flag, rushing towards this side.

The team is getting closer and closer, and only then can I gradually see clearly: the puppet army is in front, the devil is behind, and several devil commanders on horseback are in the middle, shouting loudly and urging them to move forward.

"Smack!"

Seeing that the devils behind him had all entered the circle of ambush, Yun Shangren fired two points in succession, and a ghost commander on horseback in the middle planted it in response, followed by rows of grenades exploded in the enemy group, and all kinds of long and short guns of the Eighth Route Army around them fired together, and the sound of gunfire and explosions became one.

The bullets rang out, and the puppet troops in front and on the side were instantly knocked down by several rows, and those on the inside hurriedly lay on the ground, too frightened to move. The Japanese troops behind were also taken aback by the sudden attack, and fell down a lot in a wave of bullets, but they quickly reacted under the commander's order, and groups of three or five, seven or eight regiments, seized the advantageous terrain one after another, and fiercely counterattacked. Smoke billowed from the battlefield, and the sound of gunfire and screams mingled.

Suddenly, with a loud military horn, a lightning-fast cavalry unit of the Eighth Route Army jumped out of the ground and killed the enemy group. Under the onslaught of the cavalry troops, the enemy group was in chaos in an instant, and began to rush to the east and west, scattering and fleeing. Seeing this, Yun Shangren and the soldiers who were ambushed also quickly rushed into the enemy group. The cavalry team turned back several times in a row, the more brave they became, the horses stepped on the swords, and the Japanese puppet army was already killed and wounded.

In less than half an hour, except for a few devils who escaped by chance, the rest of the puppet army all disarmed and surrendered.

The commander ordered: quickly clean up the battlefield and return to the Tiger Beach.
