This doubt did not last long, and the performance of the Japanese and puppet troops outside the city gave Xu Hu a very reasonable explanation.

More than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops rushed forward without dying.

After leaving the city, they rushed directly to the village not far from the city gate. When they left the village, there were either chickens or ducks hanging on the rifle bayonets. More than a dozen puppet soldiers carried the pigs and sheep they had just grabbed, and more than a dozen Japanese men drove more than a dozen women out of the village like a show of their power.

"Damn the Japanese, it turns out that they are tired of staying in the city. They ran out to burn, kill, rob and abuse the woman. They are indeed a bunch of animals!" Xu Hu gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.

"Platform leader, you must not let these women be taken into the city by the Japanese, otherwise they will definitely be ruined by the Japanese, and you must rescue them!" Liu Pingquan, the squad leader of the Investigation Squad 1, said with an anxious look on his face.

The dozen subordinates around him seemed to have agreed, and they all asked Xu Hu for a fight with a look of indignation!

"Okay, kill these beasts!" Xu Hu made a decision quickly.

"But we must seize the time. This is only two kilometers away from Laiyuan City. As long as a gun is fired here, the Japanese in the city can come here in ten minutes. This means that we only have five minutes to fight, and then bring the women stolen by the Japanese to retreat!"

Liu Pingquan immediately replied: "Platform leader, there must be no problem!"

"Although there are many Japanese and puppet soldiers, there are only more than fifty real Japanese soldiers, and there are only seventy officers in the puppet army. After the regiment commander added some veterans to us, there were sixteen people in each squad. As long as we kill four Japanese and Imperial Army officers, the remaining Imperial Army soldiers will definitely not dare to resist!"

Soon, a simple ambush position appeared on a slope more than 300 meters in front of the Japanese and puppet troops.

In addition, 17 people, including the platoon leader Xu Hu, were all ambushed on the slope on one side of the highway, which was only more than 100 meters away from the highway.

But because it is only three miles away from Laiyuan City, it means that the first squad of the investigation and squad must resolve the battle in three minutes, and then retreat quickly, and it is not possible to retreat along the highway.

After more than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops completely entered the ambush circle, Xu Hu was the first to shoot, and then Liu Pingquan and more than a dozen sharpshooters fired.

"Baopao..." A short gunshot quickly broke the tranquility of the battlefield.

The Japanese squad leader, sergeant, machine gunner, company commander of the Imperial Army, platoon leader... all fell to the ground with an expression of dying with his eyes closed.

Suddenly being attacked, the Japanese and puppet troops, who were already frightened, saw that all the officers were dead, and their panic became more and more intense.

He didn't care about the things he had just stolen, and threw them on the road and ran away with his head. The Japanese and puppet troops, who reacted faster and had a little rationality, lay on the ground.

At this time, the differences between the Japanese army and the Imperial Army were directly reflected on the battlefield.

The first reaction of the puppet army lying on the ground was to save their lives, holding their heads and not moving, avoiding the attention of the Eighth Route Army.

But the Japanese were different. Whether it was a new recruit or a veteran, after a brief chaos, they all lay on the ground to fight back.

They have quick responses, and the first squad will respond faster.

In the blink of an eye, the second round of gunfire sounded on the battlefield.

All Japanese and puppet troops who held the rifle in their hands and wanted to fight back were attacked by bullets.

In less than a minute, there was no Japanese and puppet troops fighting back on the road.

Xu Hu didn't waste much time, leaving a few sharpshooters to continue staring at the highway, and the others rushed towards the highway with their pistols.

There was no accident in the raids in the whole period. All Japanese and Imperial Army officers were killed, and 86 Imperial Army soldiers were taken into reconnaissance and stripping prisoners.

With the help of these prisoners, Xu Hu successfully retreated five minutes before the Japanese reinforcements arrived.

One day later, all the prisoners and the captures were sent back to the garrison.

He Wen, the deputy political commissar who was in charge of captives and training, immediately dealt with them according to the old rules of the Independent Regiment.

The Independent Regiment had just experienced a great war, and the troops suffered losses and were in urgent need of supplementary efforts. Compared with the newly trained recruits, the prisoners who were successfully transformed were obviously more popular with the troops and would not affect the combat effectiveness of the troops at the very least.

Therefore, as soon as these dozens of prisoners arrived at the independent regiment station, they were targeted by several battalion company commanders.

Faced with their constant calls to urge them, Deputy Political Commissar He Wen could only seize the time to transform these prisoners and then go on a quicker basis.

After the pace was getting faster, He Wen's review of the prisoners became much smaller.

Of course, even if the review is still as strict as usual, several intelligence personnel inserted by Nakamura Nakasako can easily pass.

Because these intelligence officers were all locals, they were only captured by the Japanese a few months ago and then added to the Imperial Army.

Unlike other Imperial Army soldiers, they were drawn out separately for intelligence training for various reasons during the training process.

Those who passed these trainings and then had no problems with loyalty, Nakamura became an intelligence officer.

In order to obtain real information about the independent regiment as soon as possible, Nakamura, who racked his brains, decided to carry out a very risky operation: directly install intelligence officers in the independent regiment!

But he also knew that the Eighth Route Army's anti-intelligence and anti-infiltration capabilities were not comparable to other Chinese troops.

A bad thing is that the intelligence officers he trained with great effort will not only fail to enter the Eighth Route Army, but will also be taken over by the Eighth Route Army.

In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, after learning that many Eighth Route Army battles were transformed into this news, Nakamura and the Chief of Staff came up with this method, and at the cost of an infantry squad and an Imperial Army of a company, sent a total of six intelligence officers to the Eighth Route Army as prisoners, and then joined the Eighth Route Army.

Nakamura did it.

Because the Independent Regiment urgently needed the Imperial Army to capture such veterans, after simple identification, all six intelligence personnel were added to the three main battalions.

Although these six intelligence personnel are the lowest-level soldiers, they can only contact the company commander at most. However, through their experiences, they can still understand the strength of their infantry company in a very short time.

As for the direct troops of the three battalions of the Independent Regiment, each intelligence officer knows a little, and all six people can be pieced together a rough idea!

After reading the information sent back by the intelligence personnel continuously, Nakamura's first reaction was that he did not believe in his own eyes.

Because the equipment of the Independent Regiment is so good, it completely shows his understanding of the Eighth Route Army.

Each infantry company is equipped with three grenade launchers, four crooked light machine guns, and more than one hundred 38 large covers. With firepower alone, it can already fight against two infantry squads of the Imperial Army.

With such powerful firepower, even if the individual capabilities of the troops are a little poor, there is still no problem in fighting against an infantry squad of the Imperial Imperial Army. No wonder this independent regiment can easily eat an infantry squadron of the Imperial Army!
