After nearly an hour of perseverance, the Japanese and puppet troops finally left the village and walked towards the company with their might.

"God has eyes, the Japanese did not arrest anyone. We don't have so many concerns when we beat him later!" Li Yunshan, the first company commander, said very gladly.

"Dog Japanese, you've come out! Company Commander, should you kill them according to the old rules?" A row of leaders asked with their eyes lit up.

Li Yunshan affirmed: "The old rules are to fight the Japanese and puppet army officers first, and then force the remaining Imperial Army to surrender!"

"Baopao..." Li Yunshan held up his pistol and fired the first shot of the entire ambush battle. Immediately afterwards, the sound of gunfire sounded on the battlefield.

Under the attack of four crooked handles and more than 100 rifles, more than 20 people in Japanese uniforms fell on the road and died on the spot.

After a round of guns, the ammunition line immediately fired freely, staring at the Japanese on the road.

But soon Li Yunshan found something wrong: "No, there is something wrong with the puppet troops on the highway!"

"The puppet army cannot have such a quick response. It must be the Japanese pretended to be. Comrades, no matter whether the enemy is the puppet army or the Japanese, they will all be killed!"

"Baopao!" As he spoke, more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops mixed up had already begun to fight back.

The real puppet troops were slightly better. Although they fought back desperately, the flying bullets were difficult to hit the target.

The Japanese hidden in the middle of the team are different. The precise shooting technique allows them to hit an Eighth Route Army every time they shoot a bullet.

People around Li Yunshan were constantly shot by the Japanese, and then they screamed and fell on the ridge.

"Don't be afraid, shoot with all your might. Machine gunners, suppress the Japanese and puppet army machine guns. The small cannon squad will fire immediately. Whether it is the puppet army or the Japanese, blow me up in places with a lot of people, disrupt them, and fire quickly!"

Fortunately, one of the mixed Japanese and puppet troops has not changed. No matter what military uniforms are worn, the machine gunners and grenade launchers are the key targets of the independent regiment on the battlefield at any time.

Therefore, although many people were wearing Imperial Army uniforms, they were still beaten to death immediately.

Then during the battle, all Japanese and puppet troops who wanted to get close to these heavy weapons were shot and killed regardless of their identity.

Without the crooked handle and grenade launcher to participate in the battle, the pressure on the company was much smaller, but with the counterattack of the Japanese riflemen, casualties continued to increase.

The troops, which were full of confidence just now, began to panic because of the increasing casualties.

Fortunately, the grenade launcher fired at this time.

"Boom boom boom..." Three explosions rang out on the road, killing the last Japanese and puppet troops on the spot.

"Feel well, keep firing and blowing to places with a lot of people!" Company Commander Li Yunshan ordered loudly with red eyes.

After five rounds of fifteen grenades in a row, the battlefield situation began to move towards a favorable direction at noon.

A company that lost nearly a platoon completely surrounded the remaining Japanese and puppet troops.

Of course, the remaining more than 60 Japanese and puppet troops did not have room to fight back. They were all scattered in every corner of the encirclement, and occasionally fired a bullet out to prevent a company from attacking in a row and approaching themselves.

So, the enemy and us actually began to confront each other, and through the shooting, they had a little bit of the strength of the trench opponents.

Although he took a lot of advantage in the shooting series because of his strong firepower, the Japanese and puppet troops hid too secretly and were very scattered. Without five or six minutes or even seven or eight minutes, Li Yunshan could not have eaten them all.

However, Li Yunshan was unwilling to accept the battle and let go of the remaining Japanese and puppet troops on the road.

"Machine gunner, continue to suppress the enemy, and the rifleman shoots freely! Take a row of grenades and press them up, find a way to get close to the enemy, and greet them with grenades! Cover the grenade, blow up wherever there is an enemy, don't blacken me to save ammunition!" Li Yunshan ordered with red eyes.

At this time, in the county town several miles away, two battalions of Japanese and Imperial Army battalions had rushed out of the city gate, and then rushed to the battlefield one by one.

Although they were known by the main force of the first battalion of the independent regiment lurking outside as soon as they left the city, the actions of the remaining two companies of the first battalion were also under the surveillance of the Japanese and puppet troops.

The battle of the first company was stalemate. No matter whether the first company could end the battle on time, the reinforcements of the Japanese army leaving the city had to block.

Zhang Qing immediately pulled the troops to a mountain ridge suitable for attack and was ready to fight and waited for the Japanese to reinforce the troops.

The battle started quickly, and the mixed Japanese and puppet troops showed very strong combat effectiveness on the battlefield. In addition, they were strengthened with a lot of heavy machine guns and mortars before leaving the city.

Although the first battalion occupied the defensive terrain that was beneficial to it, it was still suppressed and beaten by the Japanese.

You should know that this is only half of the troops of the Japanese and puppet troops leaving the city. If the other half of the troops are also suppressed, the first battalion will definitely not be able to stop the Japanese and puppet troops from taking any expenses.

"Battery Commander, the follow-up troops of the Japanese and puppet troops came up, but they did not attack directly, but split into two and surrounded our wings. The enemy must have wanted to wipe us out here!" The squad leader of the first battalion's reconnaissance squad rushed over and reported.

"This battle is wrong, and it is not carried out in the direction we booked. The enemy is not right. When will the Imperial Army have such strong combat power? And their firepower strength is not owned by an infantry squadron at all. We must have been plotted by the Japanese!" Zhang Qing said with a calm face.

Then a sudden enlightenment appeared on his face and continued to shout: "No, we were fooled. The Japanese not only wanted to use us to train troops, but also wanted to fight a war of attrition with us. They are well equipped, ammunition, and have strong combat power in individual soldiers. We are definitely not opponents when fighting a war of attrition. They want to wipe us out here, so it must be like this!"

Although the Independent Regiment repeatedly defeated the Japanese, the strong combat effectiveness and excellent equipment of the Japanese army, no one of the cadres from top to bottom dared to underestimate them.

As the leader of the regiment, Wang Ping also constantly emphasized to everyone that the current combat method of the Independent Regiment should be mainly small-scale annihilation and ambush wars. While training troops, it can also add some equipment and ammunition to increase its own strength. Unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not fight a war of attrition with the enemy, as that will be worth the loss for the Independent Regiment!

So, as soon as Zhang Qing finished speaking, his surrounding subordinates also became heavier.

Instructor Zhao Wenhua is an old Red Army soldier. He has experienced many big and bloody battles. He can tell at a glance that the bad situation the first battalion is facing now. Then he directly advised Zhang Qing: "Battalion Commander, this battle cannot be fought again. Maybe our battalion will explain it here!"

The retreat was at the beginning of the battle, and both the morale of the army and the morale were greatly affected.

Zhang Qing knew this truth very well, but compared with the destruction of the entire army here, retreating is definitely the best choice.

He frowned and immediately ordered: "Communication team, contact Li Yunshan immediately. Regardless of whether the battle can be concluded quickly, retreat if you receive the order!"
Chapter completed!
