Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 108 Falling into a Misunderstanding
"Company commander, do the devils have some conspiracy? Shouldn't they retreat to Laiyuan City to reorganize the troops now? Why are they still coming out!" Zhou Zhengyang, the leader of the second platoon, frowned and asked, very puzzled.

A trace of helplessness quickly flashed across Zhang Qing's face, and then he replied: "The devil is trying to repeat the old trick! Didn't we suffer from their support troops just now? They must be worried that we will ambush their troops returning to the city again, and then The support troops were sent out so early, so that we can hit another head and bleed!"

Zhou Zhengyang hurriedly asked: "Ambush is not enough, the devils are prepared for a surprise attack, so what should we do next, don't we just watch the devils enter the city!"

"Surprise raids are definitely not possible. With the support troops, the total strength of the devils exceeds a squadron. As long as they start defending on the spot, we can't surprise them even if we push the whole company up! The devils react too quickly, so we have to think of other ways!" Zhang Qing affirmed.

At this time, the instructor Zhao Wenhua and the guard platoon leader Zhong Yusheng led the troops over at the same time as if they had made an agreement.

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

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

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

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

"The task given to us by the battalion commander was to massacre the veterans of the devils, one by one, but he didn't ask us to wipe them all out. This place is too close to the county town, we can't concentrate too much, otherwise the devils will fire a round of shells, and we may all be wiped out." Therefore, it is almost impossible to completely annihilate the devils and return to the city in one battle!"

Zhang Qing replied angrily: "Isn't this nonsense? I also know that this method won't work, so I stopped here and thought of other methods!"

Zhong Yusheng actually laughed 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 do anything to hit the devil, then we will do the opposite, piecemeal, point by point. Use them up."

"When we were still in the Red Army, what kind of battles were 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, just like Zhong Yusheng, both of them had smiles on their faces.After the two looked at each other, Zhang Qing spoke first.

"Instructor, you speak first!"

"Then I won't be polite!" Zhao Wenhua didn't hesitate.

"We found that when the devils returned to the city, they were at least two kilometers away from the city gate. If you use guerrilla warfare to fight them, even if they have support troops, they will not be afraid."

"Our light weapons and equipment are not inferior to the devils at all. We can retreat after hitting them with a few rounds of bullets from a long distance, and we can plant booby traps on the road they must pass! Didn't they bring a lot of large vehicles? We can also destroy official roads, slow down Their retreat speed, buy us a long time to hit them with guerrilla warfare!"

"Even if we only wipe out two or three devils within 100 meters, when they finally retreat to the gate of the city, a small team will be reimbursed by us!"

Zhang Qing then added: "We can still divide our troops into two groups. Didn't the devils send a support force? We can also recruit some soldiers to fight them with guerrilla warfare, so that the devils in Laiyuan City will lose their wives and lose their soldiers. The loss will be even greater. !"

"That's what it means!" Zhong Yusheng affirmed!
"Now we are short of troops. After the other two companies arrive, we can still find ways to fight the devils in an ambush. Of course, the ambush I am talking about is not a large-scale ambush battle that eats up the devils' retreating troops. It is based on the platoon. Small-scale ambush battles by units, retreat when they fight, and don't give the devils any chance to fight back!"

"Of course, if the devils have the guts to send troops to chase us down, then don't be polite to them, just eat them!"

"However, the devil's strength is so tense now, especially these veterans, unless the devil's commander is a fool, he will definitely not send people to chase us down!"

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

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

Now here, Akino is relieved.

In Akino's view, the Eighth Route Army would not dare to ambush him here even if he had the guts.Because, fighting here may not only be surrounded by reinforcements from Laiyuan City, but also may be attacked by artillery fire from the garrison in the city at any time, which is not worth the loss.

In addition, the support troops have been ruled out in the city, if the Eighth Route Army has the guts to attack itself here, it may be attacked by the enemy at any time!

Because of this self-confidence, as soon as the troops arrived here, Akino gave the order to slow down the marching speed, and let the troops take a good rest by the way, so that when they entered the city, they could see the best condition for the commander.

There is a phrase called "upper action and lower effect". The squadron leader felt confident that he would never be attacked by the Eighth Route Army again, so he relaxed.The more than 100 devil soldiers below will definitely let go of their vigilance, and the marching queue, which has been maintaining the battle formation, has also become scattered at this time.

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

With such a smooth march and one step closer to Laiyuan City, they became more confident in the judgment of the squadron leader, and gradually became unscrupulous in walking.

"Papapa... da da da..." A series of messy but dense gunshots suddenly sounded in the corn field 100 meters away from the official road.

The bullets swishing over were all aimed at the devil walking in the middle of the line.Although they didn't have much accuracy, they won because they had a large number, and they defeated four devil soldiers on the spot.

"Baga, it's the enemy's attack! The machine gunners stayed behind to fight back with firepower, repel them, and the troops continued to retreat to the county seat, don't stop! Akino was shocked. He didn't expect his confident judgment to be wrong. However, he did not lose Be rational and immediately give the troops who have already started to retreat and counterattack orders."

"Da da da..." The ghost reacted quickly, and as soon as Akino gave the order, two crooked guns began to shoot on the spot.

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

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

After their gunshots sounded, the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack position more than a hundred meters away fell silent, as if no one had stayed there.

When the two grenades hit the sneak attack position in a parabola and exploded, except for some soil and bushes and weeds being blown up, there was no shadow of the Eighth Route Army.

Guerrilla warfare is a housekeeping skill for the old Red Army of the Independent Battalion, and everyone is proficient in it.In addition, they have sufficient ammunition and well-equipped equipment, so there is no need to fight the devils in close combat and give them a chance to fight back.

Therefore, when Zhang Qing gave the order, he repeatedly asked the surprise attack troops to choose a position far enough away from the official road, and to plan a retreat route in advance, and retreat if they attacked.

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