"How could it be? Unless the Japanese commander in Laiyuan City is a fool, he would at least draw an infantry brigade to retaliate against us. If we can easily eat one of his squadrons, then we have the strength to eat two of his squadrons. Only by dispatching one infantry brigade is the safest for them!" As a former commander, Cheng Xiao was also very sure of his judgment.

Wang Ping pointed to the map and explained: "I don't deny your judgment. What I mean is that even if the Japanese want to dispatch an infantry brigade, there are not so many troops in Laiyuan City for him to draw!"

"Look at the map. This was seized in the Japanese squad leader's office. There should be no problem with the accuracy!"

"The map shows that the Japanese have stationed no less than three squadrons of Japanese soldiers and one battalion of puppet troops in the villages, towns and major transportation routes around Laiyuan City. There is a broken infantry corps in the entire Laiyuan territory, with about two thousand people. In addition to the external troops, the Japanese soldiers in Laiyuan City are only one infantry brigade and some direct troops."

"Now that after we have eaten an infantry squadron, there are even fewer Japanese in Laiyuan City, and there are not so many troops to send out!"

"It's true!" Cheng Xiao, who had stared at the map for nearly a minute, suddenly realized his mind.

Then he asked Wang Ping: "Then battalion commander, your idea is!"

Wang Ping did not answer, but instead asked with a thoughtful look on his face: "Old Cheng, what would you do now if you were the commander of the Japanese devil in Laiyuan City!"

"First find a way to figure out our strength. If we can eat one of his squadrons, then it is possible to eat two of his squadrons, or even one of the brigades. If we don't figure out our strength, we will never send troops!" Cheng Xiao expressed his thoughts with thoughtful expression.

Wang Ping nodded and affirmed: "Then we will find a way to make the Japanese in Laiyuan City unable to understand our strength and dare not send troops casually. We will buy time for recruiting and training troops as much as possible!"

After a pair of eyes shot out two rays of light, they shouted to the battalion!

"Notify the deputy battalion commander to come, hurry!"

Although Shuiquan Village is 10 or 20 miles away from Laiyuan City, because the independent camp used mortars and also created a powerful landmine, the roaring explosion still vaguely reached the ears of the Japanese army in Laiyuan City.

At first, the captain of Ono corps was very worried and subconsciously thought that something had happened to the reinforcements.

Just as he was about to send a reconnaissance force out of the city to check, the faint explosion stopped after only a few minutes.

It is possible that an elite Imperial Army with a full infantry squadron will bear a main force regiment of the Central Army on the front battlefield. It is impossible to be eliminated by the backward Eighth Route Army in such a short period of time. Colonel Ono is very sure of this judgment.

So, as soon as the cannon stopped, he overturned his initial idea: something happened to the reinforcements!

Since there was no accident in the reinforcement force, the explosion just now must have been caused by the exchange of fire between the reinforcement force and the Eighth Route Army. Judging from the time, the reinforcement force should also reach Shuiquan Village at some point.

After having this idea, Little Yema immediately took back his order and asked the reconnaissance troops who were about to leave the city to retreat to the barracks to rest and standby. He was guarding the headquarters, waiting for the reinforcements to send him good news.

Half an hour later, the good news I was looking forward to did not appear.

An hour later, the good news still did not appear. Not only that, the telephone contact between the county town and Shuiquan Village was still interrupted.

Logically speaking, after the troops defeated the Eighth Route Army, even if they didn't have time to send the victory back because the distance was too far, they would quickly repair the telephone line and report the victory to themselves by phone. However, the telephone line was interrupted from beginning to end.

At this time, Colonel Ono was already a little worried, but he still didn't believe that an elite infantry squadron would be wiped out in just a few minutes.

With this idea in mind, Colonel Ono waited for another hour, but the imagined good news still showed no sign of it.

At this time, Ono finally couldn't help it and directly ordered the investigation squadron to send a team out of the city by motorcycle to figure out what happened in Shuiquan Village.

The three motorcycles took nine Japanese scouts and drove out of Laiyuan City in just a few minutes.

"This must be the Japanese reconnaissance force who went out of the city to find out the situation! The battalion commander just sent an order. For such Japanese, don't let him go back if he comes out."

"You three continue to monitor the city gate here and report it immediately if there is any situation. Others take a shortcut with me and rushed to the front of the Japanese and eat them!"

Three three-wheeled motorcycles carried nine Japanese soldiers and were slapped. Because they had just left Laiyuan City, they were not too cautious and rushed to Shuiquan Village as quickly as possible.

Less than five minutes after they left the city gate, a ditch on the side of the road that could not hide a few people suddenly threw out seven or eight grenades with white smoke.

The Japanese, caught off guard, subconsciously wanted to avoid these grenades.

However, these grenades were delayed. Walking in the front, a motorcycle was about to make a sharp turn when a series of explosions rang over their heads.

Seven or eight grenades exploded together, and more than one hundred pieces of fragments were generated instantly, directly covering them and then blown into hornets' nests.

Following the two motorcycles behind, they reacted quickly and stopped by brakes.

The six Japanese, but the car jumped off before it stopped. The rifle that was originally carrying on the back was already in his hand.

Just as they pulled the bolt and loaded the bullets, rushing towards the roadside, preparing to attack invisibly.

Two crooked men who were just hidden in front of them shot.

"Dadada..." The dense bullets took away four Japanese lives in one go.

The remaining two Japanese devils are worthy of being the most elite scouts of the Japanese army. They lie on the ground as soon as the gunshot sounds, and then shoot at the location of the machine gun.

"Bao!" After two gunshots, a crooked squeak who was so angry that he was silent. The machine gunman was shot in the head and fell to the ground.

Of course, these two Japanese only have the chance to fire one shot.

So many plus two crooked men dealt with nine Japanese devils and suffered casualties, this was a shame in Zhong Yusheng's opinion.

He personally manipulated a crooked handle and immediately turned the gun and pulled the trigger at them.

I kept firing all the bullets in the gun chamber before I stopped.
