When Wang Ping was busy guiding the engineer platoon to build a fortification group and finding ways to turn the logistics supply of the independent battalion from seizure to self-sufficient, the two companies of the second and third companies had already begun their second operation since they came out of the mountain.

The two companies launched an attack on the Japanese and puppet troops at the target stronghold, with a time interval of less than two hours.

At the command of the Japanese military brigade in Laiyuan City, the chief of staff was walking towards Ono's office with a serious face.

"General, the situation is the same as you judged. We have two more strongholds attacked and lost contact. The Eighth Route Army really planned to break through each of them. We veterans in a large number of trenches and destroy us to form a brigade. It was so cunning!" As soon as we entered the door, the Chief of Staff reported with anger and frustration.

What he was most worried about became a fact, and Ono's face instantly became gloomy.

"Ba!" After the clenched fist hit the table in front of him with anger, he shouted: "Baga, it's just a little bit, I have a large group of troops in my hand. They must have done it on purpose by the cunning Eighth Route Army. Sooner or later, I will destroy them one day!"

"Chief of Staff, contact our other stronghold guards outside the city, immediately abandon the stronghold, withdraw back to Laiyuan City, and bring back all the equipment and supplies stockpiled in the stronghold. Didn't the Eighth Route Army want to defeat and consume our veterans one by one? If you have the ability, come to attack the county town!"

The Independent Battalion was not aware that the Japanese army had made the decision to abandon all the strongholds outside the city. However, so many Japanese and puppet troops returned to Laiyuan City, they would inevitably have to pass through the guard platoon and four city gates that were blocked in a row.

"Company Commander, there is a situation. More than 100 Japanese and puppet troops have driven towards the city gate and brought a lot of supplies!" On a hillside outside the north gate of Laiyuan City, Zhang Qing was holding a telescope and staring at the city gate from a high place. A soldier suddenly rushed over and reported with a nervous face.

"Are you doing this wrong from outside toward the city gate?" Zhang Qing frowned and asked.

The stronghold outside the city was attacked, and no matter what he thought, the ghosts in the city would go out to the city to reinforce. Now it turned out to be the opposite. A Japanese and puppet army emerged from outside the city and rushed into the city. No one could understand why this was!

I don’t understand, but Zhang Qing knew one principle: no matter whether the Japanese left the city or entered the city, as long as they walked under their noses, even if they couldn’t wipe them out, I would let them take off a layer of skin and leave something behind.

Therefore, although he did not understand where these Japanese and puppet troops emerged, what was the purpose of rushing to Laiyuan City. Zhang Qing still responded quickly: "Order the troops to assemble immediately, and we will meet these Japanese and puppet troops for a while."

There are two city gates in charge in the first company, namely the South Gate and the West Gate. Instructor Zhao Wenhua led a platoon to be responsible for the West Gate and led the remaining troops to be responsible for the South Gate.

However, because the first company suffered heavy losses in the battle to attack the Xiaguan stronghold, although the instructor took away only one platoon, Zhang Qing had only more than fifty troops at hand.

Compared with the Japanese and puppet troops with more than 100 people, they were definitely at a loss in terms of military strength. However, Zhang Qing had no intention of being afraid or worried at all.

Because the equipment of more than 50 people under his command was really good, with five crooked hands, and the rest were all 38 big blocks, and an average of one ten people had one!

"Comrades, more than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops are rushing towards us. We have been hiding here for so long, and we are finally going to eat meat. My idea is to kill them and seize the equipment and supplies they carry!" Zhang Qing told everyone his thoughts directly.

Then, after a pair of hot eyes, the order was ordered: "The Japanese and puppet troops are coming in five minutes. This is very close to the city gate, and there is no place suitable for ambushing. Therefore, we can only end the battle through raids, battles and quick results!"

"It's still the same rule. Fight the Japanese and puppet troops first and then fight the puppet troops. All of us are hidden in this forest. As soon as the Japanese and puppet troops come, they will fight out, and the machine guns will attack directly to attack the Japanese in the middle of the team!"

The grove is more than fifty meters away from the official road. Although it is very close, it is almost impossible to use the grove to ambush because it has no height advantage. So Zhang Qing thought of a way to raid the Japanese from the grove.

The distance of fifty meters only takes more than ten seconds for the fast assault warriors, and the suppressive strafing of five machine guns on the raid road was suppressed by the enemy. Zhang Qing certainly had no problem with the troops raiding to the official road. As long as the troops reach the official road, the troops with absolute firepower advantage will definitely win dozens of Japanese soldiers.

A platoon of puppet troops was in front, with more than fifty Japanese soldiers following behind, and then two platoons of puppet troops dragged seven or eight large carts at the end.

The formation that stretched for nearly two hundred meters soon appeared in the official road directly opposite Zhang Qing.

More than 30 puppet troops in front passed by, and as soon as more than 50 Japanese soldiers entered the raid range, Zhang Qing decisively ordered.

"While the charge, everyone charges, kill these Japanese and puppet troops!"

"Dick-tick..." As soon as the loud charge sounded, more than fifty Eighth Route Army rushed out of the woods.

Especially the five machine gunners rushed to the front, and fired at the Japanese on the official road.

"Dadada..." A string of dense bullets swept across, and seven or eight unexpected Japanese soldiers fell to the ground. Four or five nearby puppet troops were not spared and were shot and fell to the ground.

No one expected that the Japanese and puppet troops, which were more than 100 people, would be raided when they were about to enter Laiyuan City. Therefore, whether it was the puppet army or the elite Japanese army, their first reaction after the raid was incredible, and then they reacted and lay on the ground to prepare for a counterattack.

The Japanese lieutenant who led the team received a clear retreat order, and he would bring dozens of elite imperial troops back to the county town no matter what.

Seeing that there were only dozens of people from the Eighth Route Army rushed towards him, and when he was put in normal times, he would definitely order his subordinates to launch a counterattack on the spot. But now it is not possible. Every Imperial Army soldier under his command is a treasure for the upcoming mixed brigade, and no one can afford to lose.

Therefore, the Japanese Lieutenant immediately made the decision to break through and retreat to the county town.

"The Imperial Army left cover, and the warriors immediately broke through and retreated to the county town!"

Although more than forty Japanese devils were unwilling to give up, they still readily executed the order, holding guns and reciprocating cover to retreat behind.

As for the puppet army, except for a few traitors who showed reluctance and anger because they were left here to die by the Japanese, most of them accepted the ending of being abandoned by the Japanese with a calm look on their faces. Then they lay on the ground without counterattacking, and waited for the Eighth Route Army to rush over and surrender.

Those traitors who were unwilling to be captured wanted to threaten their subordinates to fight back and block the attack of the Eighth Route Army.
