Gao Erxiao quickly ran down a hillside, hiding behind a rock, looking around for Xie Tian's trace.

Xie Tian raised his arm and waved at Gao Erxiao, who saw Xie Tian clearly, and hurriedly ran over and lay beside Xie Tian and said nervously: "Tuanzao, there are four big trucks here, and it looks like there must be at least fifty or sixty devils, I'm afraid we can't beat it, or let's withdraw first." ”

Sure enough, it is a devil of a squad, with the combat effectiveness of the devil squad, not to mention the more than 30 refugee soldiers of Xie Tian, even if the Eighth Route Army does not have the strength of two companies, they dare not provoke easily, not to mention the Jin Sui Army, even if they are given a battalion of troops, they may not dare to attack a devil squad.

You must know that this is not far from Pingyuan County and Zhangzhuang stronghold, as long as this small team of devils can hold out for an hour, the devil support of Pingyuan County and Zhangzhuang stronghold will arrive, and if you don't do it, you will be dumpled by the devils who hit both ends.

To ambush a devil squad, it is necessary to formulate a complete battle plan, and in addition to attacking the fortifications, there must also be reinforcements.

If it is a battle of the Eighth Route Army, it is necessary to dispatch at least one battalion of troops to ambush a devil squad.

Moreover, it must be fought quickly, otherwise I am afraid that the 25th Flying Brigade of the devils stationed in Taiyuan will rush to support, that thing is not something that the current Eighth Route Army and the Jin Sui Army can resist, and a dozen planes can break up a company-level combat unit with a single dive.

Xie Tian snorted: "Let's take a look first, lie down, rest assured, the devil won't come up to search the mountain." ”

Seeing Gao Erxiao running down from the hillside, Qin Fen seemed to have figured out one thing, he looked at Xie Tian and said: "Regiment leader, I understand why you chose the ambush site in Shilipo, Shilipo has three bends and five bends, let's be the second song here, as long as an observation post is arranged in Yiqu, you can get the news in advance before the devil arrives here, and make arrangements as soon as possible." ”

Xie Tian glanced at Qin Fen: "This is just one aspect, forget it, I'll tell you about it before the devil comes." The terrain of the half-step cliff is dangerous, if Lao Tzu has two companies of troops in his hands, Lao Tzu will definitely set up an ambush in the half-step cliff, the first wave of attacks can kill at least half of the devil's troops, and the rest can completely rely on the terrain to press them to fight, and they will be sure to end the battle within half an hour. ”

Qin Fen nodded: "Our troops are too small, and they are all recruits who have never fought before, I am afraid that the first wave of attacks will not cause much damage to the devils, but will attract a strong counterattack from the devils." ”

Qin Fen glanced at a few soldiers nearby, smiled bitterly and didn't say any more.

Xie Tian said: "There is nothing bad to say, the quality of our soldiers is too poor, as long as the devils start to fight back, not to mention anything else, our team will probably be broken up with a salvo of three grenadiers, and then we will definitely face the pursuit of the devil's infantry, I am afraid that none of our soldiers will be able to escape, and they will all die there." Lao Tzu didn't do the loss-making business. ”

Qin Fen nodded contemplatively: "I agree with the head of the regiment, this is a high probability of happening." ”

Xie Tian said: "You know that the terrain of the half-step cliff is dangerous, I know that the terrain of the half-step cliff is dangerous, don't the devils know that the terrain of the half-step cliff is dangerous?" Lao Tzu dared to conclude that the devil must be ready to be attacked when he crossed the half-step cliff, I am afraid that our first wave of attacks will not even be able to beat a single hair of the devil. ”

Qin Fen faintly broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and nodded: "Very likely." ”

Xie Tian smiled: "So, only a fool would think of setting up an ambush at the half-step cliff." Lao Tzu expected that after the devil passed the half-step cliff safely, his defense would be relaxed, so we would have an opportunity. ”

Qin Fen smiled bitterly, I am that fool.

Xie Tian said with a smile: "Shilipo is good, this is Erqu, let's look at the situation later, we can fight, we can fight, we will run after taking advantage, we can go over the mountains and mountains, the devil pulls supplies but can only take the road down the hillside, it is impossible to give up the supplies to chase us, even if they chase it, it is impossible to chase far, and if they can't catch up with us, they will go back." ”

Qin Fen frowned slightly and asked, "Why?" ”

Xie Tian couldn't bear the impulse of Qin Fen's forehead and said with a violent smile: "The supplies that need to be escorted by a devil squad must be an important supply, and the devils of a squad say a lot less and say a lot more, but if the troops are divided to chase us, it will be insufficient troops, and the troops are also worried that they will be eaten by us, so they can only bluff and chase the meaning." ”

Qin Fen pondered for a moment and smiled: "I understand, food is the most important thing, they don't dare to leave, and they can only take a fixed route, we can endlessly harass them and consume them until they get out of Shilipo." ”

Xie Tian smiled: "Draw inferences, yes, let's just fight like this." Three twists and turns, we can fight the devil at least four ambushes, Lao Tzu still doesn't believe it, our more than 30 people beat them four times and can't cripple his team. Lao Tzu grinded him to death. ”

Qin Fen looked at Xie Tian gratefully and nodded: "Thank you, Commander." ”

Qin Fen knew that Xie Tian was deliberately cultivating him.

Xie Tian stretched out his hand and patted Qin Fen on the shoulder: "This is just a tactic I prescribed, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, as a commander, in addition to making a good battle plan, you must also have the ability to adapt to changes." Remember, a commander must think twice before making a decision, and must not leave anything to chance, because every decision you make is related to the lives of the soldiers, and the soldiers are not consumables on the battlefield, we can make and capture the bullets after they are fired, and the soldiers will not be able to come back if they die. It is not an honor or a shame to achieve success. I don't want my generals to have dry bones under their feet, and I want my soldiers to live well until the day when peace comes. ”

Qin Fen looked at Xie Tian in shock, and saw Xie Tian nodding to him cautiously, Qin Fen suddenly raised his hand to give Xie Tian a military salute, and said with an excited expression: "Qin Fen is willing to be the pawn of the regiment commander, and he has no regrets when he dies." ”

Xie Tian hurriedly pressed down Qin Fen's saluted hand and scolded: "I said that there are no big moves, the devils are here, and they are very sharp-eyed." ”

At this time, the devil's first truck had just turned the hillside of the first song, and it was still far from the second song that they had set up in ambush.

Thankfully, he didn't worry that the devils would see them and hear them at such a distance, so he lowered his voice and shouted at the soldiers who were starting to get nervous: "Don't show your head, everyone, hide it, close the insurance, don't go off." ”

A moment later, the four trucks of the devil appeared in the field of vision one after another, the carriages were covered with tarpaulins, and it was impossible to see whether the carriages were loaded with people or provisions, but from the binoculars, you could see that the roofs of the four trucks were mounted with machine guns.

Xie Tian's face darkened.

Four machine guns, that means that the devils escorting supplies are a reinforced squad, and there are at least three grenadiers, and the number of people is probably about seventy.

What kind of supplies is this transporting, and such a large lineup is going to be dispatched.

When the devil escorts important materials, he will not arrange for the Imperial Allied Army to accompany him, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Allied Army is too weak, and mixing with the devil will reduce the combat effectiveness of the devil.

Only when the escort is generally fed, the devil will arrange the Imperial Association Army to escort it, and the escort is generally some food, medicine, blankets or something, even so, the devil will send a military Cao to lead the team to avoid the Imperial Association Army escorting the private pockets.

As Xie Tian said, in the eyes of the Japanese devils, the Imperial Association Army is just their consumables on the battlefield, cannon fodder, and its value is not as good as a few bullets.

The snow is still falling, which affects the line of sight, and thankfully they hide it well, so they basically don't have to worry about being discovered by the devils.

Xie Tian is observing the devils, and at the same time, he is also observing these warriors under his hands.

It can already be seen now, and those who are nervous but not trembling can grow up as long as they fight a few more battles.

It's no shame to be cowardly, after all, before yesterday, they were just ordinary people, and they were still struggling on the line of life and death in order to fill their stomachs, and they were pulled to the battlefield after just two full meals, and they wanted to kill people, not to mention that they were still facing devils, and their psychological quality must be very fragile.

The devil got closer and closer, Xie Tian quietly raised his hand and slowly pressed down, and the soldiers shrank their necks and hid deeper.

Qin Fen only showed a pair of eyes to observe the four trucks slowly approaching under the hillside, and his heart began to lose when he saw Xie Tian's movements.

It seems that this ambush should have given up, and the gap with the devil's strength is too big, even if the ambush war is a surprise to the devil, this battle does not have much chance of winning.

Damn, what kind of luck is this, the first time you want to fight with the devil with a real gun, you encountered such a hard bone, can't you come to a team of imperial troops to practice guns for the brothers?

"It's almost there." Tie Dan lay beside Xie Tian and said with a smile, at this moment, I am afraid that he is the only one who laughs.

Xie Tian snorted, holding the binoculars to observe the enemy situation, and the small kung fu devil truck was already under his nose.

The Japanese lieutenant in the first truck was also holding a telescope to observe the situation on the hillside, and after passing the dangerous half-step cliff, the vigilance of the devils was obviously relaxed a lot.

Walking out of Shilipo again, the road in front is basically a smooth road, and it is getting closer and closer to the Zhangzhuang stronghold.

At this time, the devil who was driving suddenly twisted the steering wheel and cursed, and slowly stopped the car.

The first car stopped, and the three cars behind naturally stopped.

On the hillside, the iron egg smiled and whispered: "It's a trick, it's strange that they can dodge the iron thistle arranged by the master himself." ”

Xie Tian squinted at Tie Dan and asked, "How much has it been?" ”

"Twenty."

Xie Tian scolded in a low voice: "Loser, can you use twenty of them on such a narrow road?" Tribulus terrestris is not worth spending money to buy? When the battle is over, give it back to Lao Tzu, and one less will beat you. ”
