Chapter 1625 Eye-opening

Wang Shun's eyes were opened because he didn't fully understand the not-so-profound terms that came out of Xiao Hongying's mouth.

The general meaning of detours, interspersions, coordination, and firepower arrangements is clear, but when these words are combined together, it always takes a while to figure out how to do it.

In fact, the task is not complicated: set up defenses on the periphery as soon as possible and catch all the puppet troops who escape after a while.

He was confused. Are the Japanese and puppet troops really that big?

I temporarily believe that the Eighth Route Army has that ability, but how can Commander Chang be sure that the puppet troops will definitely run south?

Shouldn't the puppet troops flee in all directions?

Xiao Hongying clarified his doubts: "Well, when a dog is beaten, its first choice will be to escape along the original route to the den."

Wang Shun didn't ask more why, otherwise he would appear to be a fool as a commander.

Many of the puppet soldiers in the village were acquaintances.

When we meet later, do you want to be more generous?

With complicated thoughts, he ordered his men to go south in two directions around the village.

The pseudo-battalion commander in the village was very confused.

The rumbling sound of artillery fire and machine gunfire in the open space to the south of the village frightened him.

Being able to get the battalion commander, this person is not a bad person, and he starts to think independently.

After living in Shandong for so many years, I have a deep understanding of this land.

He even secretly communicated with Wang Shun.

My own people couldn't run away from their big business in the city, so they had no choice but to join the Japanese and become puppet soldiers.

Because their family backgrounds are different, their choices are different.

At present, his men have suffered heavy casualties, to the point of breaking their muscles and bones.

The imperial army rushed south to reinforce the artillery, but did not take him to play, showing that they did not trust themselves.

Should he continue to stay in the village to save lives and heal the wounded, or should he take the initiative to help the imperial army?

Among the people who came to rescue Wang Shun's tribe were the Eighth Route Army, which meant that the 23rd Regiment, the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and Wang Shun were united.

I really can’t figure out why Tubalu is so cruel.

In his opinion, Wang Shunbu was just a bunch of rabble.

If he hadn't repeatedly released water before, the Japanese would have wiped them out long ago.

As the saying goes, when the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden.

He is still very confident in the fighting ability of his men.

Even if he faced the 23rd Regiment, if the forces were equal, he would still be able to fight.

Keeping Wang Shun's troops alive, in his opinion, is a sign of respect for the rebels.

I never thought there would be a day of backlash.

He struggled with difficulty, breathing in the air full of gunpowder smoke and dust, and his hands coughed into pieces.

He knew very well that wavering was a taboo for military strategists.

None of the sentinels who were sent out came back, and they were completely confused about the details of the surrounding situation.

Hearing the sound of heavy footsteps behind him, the company commander lowered his voice: "Battalion Commander, I think we should find a way to get out of here now."

"If we leave now, the Imperial Army's retreat will be completely exposed to the Eighth Route Army. It will be impossible to move."

"Haha, let's organize the brothers who are able to move now and run south, bypassing the southern battlefield. If we encounter the Imperial Army's sentry, we will say that we are providing reinforcements to the Imperial Army. If we don't encounter it, we are just fooling around and will be considered the Imperial Army's queen. If we investigate further, who knew we were actually preparing to run away?"

"Your mother is really talented. On such a huge battlefield, you think we are going the wrong way, no one would believe it."

"Have you not noticed? We have been fighting for so long, but we have barely seen a single person. What does this mean?"

"Let it go if you fart."

"The battalion commander is thinking about it. The main force of the 23rd Tuba Road Regiment is operating in this area, and Wang Shun's tribe has hundreds of people with guns. How many people do they have together?"

"You mean, they have set a big trap this time?" The pseudo-battalion commander's heart pounded: "We are already surrounded?"

"Hey, in this troubled world, it's not about comparing who is rich or powerful, but who can live longer!"

The pseudo-battalion commander immediately made a decision based on this: withdraw!

In his opinion, breaking out is actually not difficult.

Because the initiative in the breakout battle is in your own hands, it is up to you to decide which way to run and when to run.

As Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, an enemy can be surrounded with ten times the force.

Obviously, there is no way that Tubal Road and Wang Shunbu could gather two to three thousand people!

This is called concentrating superior forces and attacking one point, even if there are two or three thousand people.

His men can gather at least two companies of troops, and even if they are surrounded by a regiment of troops, they can easily stand out.

The opponent just has the advantage of setting up their positions in advance.

In the dark, the terrain advantage is hardly an advantage.

If you die as a fellow Taoist but not as a poor monk, just do what you say.

The sound of grenade explosions in the open ground to the south was much weaker.

The gunfire was still heavy.

An accident occurred on the battlefield in the open area south of the village.

The Japanese launched several attacks in succession, and were fired upon by light machine guns that kept changing positions in the smoke from the southeast. Smoke curled up from the explosions of hand grenades thrown into the open ground from time to time.

Both sides agreed to shoot and change places.

Under the moonlight, the open space was filled with gunpowder smoke. Almost no one on either side could see the other, making it difficult to capture the target.

After finding a sheltered position in a ditch or ridge, he occasionally raised his gun to fight back, relying solely on the opponent's gunfire and fire to quickly fight back.

You come and I shoot blindly, and no one dares to take the initiative to attack.

Gunshots were fired everywhere in the open field.

Even if the attacking party takes a detour, it must walk through the smoke of gunfire.

Until finally the body is exposed to the opponent's gun.

No one would do anything to get shot for nothing.

Wan Paoxi, Li Laosan and the Japanese were engaged in a positional battle!

Under the moonlight, the puppet soldiers carried the wounded whose mouths were gagged with rags and began to quietly leave the village in the southeast direction.

Of course, reconnaissance was required before breaking out. The thirty or so puppet troops who led the reconnaissance dispersed into three groups to look after each other, and ran along the waist of the ditch, panting heavily.

No one knows whether there are landmines ahead.

Eighteen years later, he became a good man again after being in a bad situation.

The dark crowd behind them followed them quietly.

in the dark.

A few pairs of eyes stared at the dark shadow moving in the field: "Instructor Chang is really good at predicting things."

"Don't be nagging, quickly report to the commander, the puppet troops are fleeing to the southeast."

"Hey, if you want to run away, there's no way."

Instructor Chang, who was sick and joining in the fun, sat on the back seat of a big dog bicycle with his face covered in rags and urged: "Can you ride faster?"

"Aren't you afraid of falling into a ditch?" The big dog said in a displeased tone, "Why don't you take good care of your health?"

"My aunt is not that delicate"

"Then, auntie, can you stop talking to me? Hu Lie La can kill people."

"It's not like no one in our independent group has suffered from it. If treated in time, he won't die. Besides, my aunt has a long life."

"What the hell, there are two platoons of Li Laosi and the guard, how can he defeat more than half of the squadron of little Japs?"

"You don't need to worry about it. They have legs, but you can't beat them and they can't run away?"

"Hey, where's the mule?"

"That guy took a detour to pick up the Japanese baggage in the south."

The conversation between the two ended with a dark figure standing on the roadside ahead waving.

The big dog stopped the bicycle with a squeak and put one foot on the ground: "We're here."

Xiao Hongying jumped off the bicycle, swayed twice, then stood firm and asked the black shadow: "What's going on?"

"The puppet troops suddenly fled to the southeast," the shadow quickly reported.

Xiao Hongying did not order Wang Shun's troops to launch an attack immediately.

Now that the puppet soldiers in the village have escaped, the enemy's retreat is exposed.

Immediately send someone to notify Li Xiang to quickly fight back.

The situation on the battlefield was a bit complicated. The puppet troops fled to the southeast and were behind Li Laosi.

Even if the puppet troops fled behind Li Laosi, Li Laosi's platoon would probably be in a double-dealing situation.

At least we have to wait until the puppet troops have run some distance before taking action.

Hu Yi didn't make many arrangements before, and arranged for Li Laosi and Wang Xiaosan to try to intersperse with sports. The interlude was just to take advantage of the darkness.

But he was provoked by Li Laosi into fighting with the Japanese.

I never thought that the puppet soldiers would have the courage to abandon the village and escape regardless of the enemy's retreat.

Judging from the reports from all aspects, the current situation is far more ideal than interspersed.

Wang Shun's troops arrived at just the right time. It didn't matter how effective they were. Being able to eat some of the fleeing puppet troops was the icing on the cake.

Everything was as expected, but it went so smoothly that it was unexpected.

Under the current favorable situation, the opportunity to take advantage of the enemy's retreat must not be missed.

Several dark figures crept into the village, and after a while a voice came out: "Safe."

"The puppet soldiers in the village really abandoned the little devils and ran away."

"There is a living mouth..."

"Eight Master, have mercy on me. There is an old one above me and a young one below." The seriously injured puppet soldier who was abandoned because the stretcher was not enough could not get up. He was almost desperate but begged for mercy with the slightest hope.
