Amid the neighing of the people and horses, groups of security troops marched in a lazy group in companies, with varying speeds. They walked the fastest on the road and their positions were naturally the most forward.

Most people walk in the uneven saline-alkali land, so they try to eat less dust. Occasionally, they pull the weeds in boredom, rub two handfuls in their hands to absorb the sweat from their palms.

Perhaps because I heard that the Eighth Route Army had appeared and rumors that three reconnaissance squads had disappeared, several bicycle security troops on the road did not dare to rush forward in the evening breeze.

It was like a scattered straggler flowing, marching fifteen miles in three hours!

Looking at the desolate village not far away, the sky was getting darker. Perhaps because of the large number of people, some people finally began to speed up.

The light in the sky turned red and gray. Finally, someone found through the cracks of the weeds that kept swaying in the wilderness, as if dust was flying, mixed in the afterglow of the sunset.

The bicycle team stopped on the road and several people were carefully looking at it. The dust might have been flying all the time, or it might have been blowing in the evening breeze, which was thicker than what I usually saw.

He rode his bicycle carefully and continued to move forward vigilantly. He was shocked and the road ahead was dug.

"Hey, is there an Eighth Route Army ahead?" A security army who jumped off his bicycle turned around and asked the squad leader who followed behind him.

The squad leader behind him didn't care: "Haha, it's just right for the Eighth Route Road to dig! There are so many people, they have already run away. I dig this trench just to make us chase it a little slower."

What the implication is that it is not normal for the Eighth Route Army to not dig a trenches?

The Public Security Army nodded: "That's right. Every time we go out, the Eighth Route Army will dig trenches on the highway. Do you really think that we can't get through the digging of a few ditches?"

"Hehe, the Eighth Route Army just wants us to be suspicious, but we don't look at how many people we have! Don't be too slow and leave quickly, otherwise you won't be seen by the brigade commander later. If we ask us to shovel soil and fill the ditch, it will be miserable."

"Squad leader, there are not many ordinary people in this radius of dozens of miles. Why is the commander personally leading the team this time?"

"You know what's wrong. The headquarters called and asked the commander to lead the team by name. He also said that he must take down the county town. Can he not come?"

"The commander's car is really nice, shiny, it would be great if I could sit for a while." The guy stretched his neck and looked back.

"Sit? Do you know how much it cost to buy it back? This time I drive it out to experience the feeling of a car."

"No matter how good it is, he is a second-hand product. I don't know which bastard in Tianjin sold it to the army commander. It is said that he wanted ten thousand oceans of us!" The group continued to move forward as they said.

"Oh, why is there another ditch here?" Before we walked far, another ditch was found on the highway.

The squad leader of the Public Security Army finally became a little alert and walked forward to observe carefully: "This ditch has been dug for a while. Could it be that there is an Eighth Route Army hidden in the village ahead?"

The subordinate responded with what the squad leader just said: "So what if there is, don't look at how many people we have!"

The squad leader rode on his bicycle, supported the ground with one foot, looked up at the deadly village three or four hundred and four hundred away, and there was nothing unusual: "Uh, you kid learn from me again, hurry up, we have burned the broken village three times before, and the common people are also cheap, and they always come back, which makes us burn again!"

......

Hu Yi held up a telescope. He felt that the security army on the road should have reached the ambush position in the subdistrict, but the gunfire was still not heard.

If released again, the security army will enter the second line of defense!

Hu Yi guessed that brigade commander Zhu did have to put the enemy closer because of insufficient ammunition from the troops!

Although the military sub-district supported them a lot of ammunition, they had more than 2,000 people, and each person was assigned three bullets. In addition, the average number of bullets was no more than six bullets before departure.

After the bullets were fully pressed into the rifle, there was only one bullet left in the bullet bag!

Although the Ninth Company occupied the Japanese warehouse in Hua County, unfortunately, there was no ammunition except for some worn-out firearms and daily supplies, and there was no ammunition inside!

The ammunition was only collected by some of the Japanese who were killed during the breakout. The ammunition of the Japanese puppet army defending the city was later blackened when they occupied the county town. The more than 1,000 bullets seized were still six or five bullets, and most of them were involved in the hands of the 2nd Company Ninth Company.

The Japanese usually distributed thirty bullets to the puppet army, plus more than a dozen Japanese, and only more than 3,000 bullets were seized in total.

The division issued an order to ambush the security army, and the reloaded bullets in the border areas that were promised to be replenished will probably take one or two days to deliver them!

Therefore, Brigade Commander Zhu, who lacks ammunition, plans to let the enemy get closer!

On the far highway, a dark guy appeared in the marching ranks!

As the distance approached, the low engine sound came faintly. The two headlights of a black car were turned on before dark. They were densely protected by the guards in front, behind, left and right, and slowly walked in the flying dust brought by the infantry in front.

The brigade commander behind the grass narrowed his eyes and turned to look at both sides. The soldiers were disguised as weeds on their heads, all lying in the shallow fox pit far away from the road.

He suddenly felt a little regretful. After visiting the positions dug by the Independent Regiment, he found that he was indeed too presumptuous.

The trenches dug by the Nine and Two Company were half a person deep, and the soil was just enough to reach the chest. There were two trenches in front and back, and there were zigzag traffic trenches in the middle. The fortifications dug under his hands were all shallow fox pits.

Actually, it’s not his fault. Anyway, the battle is full of three bullets, and then charge forward and fight against the security army to fight bayonets. It’s useless to dig such a deep trench!

Of course, the hardware facilities are not as good as those of the independent regiment. There is a three-person team with a shovel. Their own troops have to use bayonets and bare hands to pave, so their efficiency is naturally worse than the old man.

The guys in the Independent Regiment don’t care about military uniforms at all, unlike the divisional warriors. When digging trenches, they took off all their bodies and only had pairs of shorts left.

If we could really win this battle as Company Commander Hu said, it would at least solve the problem of the soldiers' clothing.

The Japanese dug trenches and repaired artillery towers everywhere in the occupied areas, resulting in the area clothing factory without raw materials, and the spinning and weaving and fabrics were almost at a standstill.

Jizhong was originally a cotton-producing place, but unfortunately they were all controlled by the Japanese and bought cotton. The Japanese even opened more than a dozen textile factories in Dingxian. Unfortunately, all the spun cotton cloths were sent back to Bird Country by the Japanese.

As a result, half of his brigade could not afford to wear the regular uniforms of the Eighth Route Army, which was no different from the guerrillas in terms of appearance.

Therefore, his brigade name is the North China Anti-Japanese Civil Army!

Because there is no clothing, no regular army number awarded by the division, it is the only number among the Eighth Route Army.

He has always been upset about this.

As for the security army's clothing, the security army must have bare butts, but does this have anything to do with him?

He has a different mentality from other troops commanders. What he values ​​most is not the capture of weapons! But military uniforms?

Other troops, as long as they have guns and bullets, they can pull out a few more teams at any time!

A row of black shadows riding bicycles had already run across the district defense line from the road. They were about to enter the village, but the brigade commander still did not issue a battle order.

The commander who stayed at the entrance of the village squinted his eyes and did not order the guards to attack the reserve team.

You have to wait for the two wings to contact the enemy!

Until now, the commander realized that Hu Yi was saying it was really good. The first contact with the security army was on both sides of the highway. The ambushed soldiers gave up the front ambush on the highway.

The security army was walking in the saline-alkali land on both wings, and was three or four hundred meters away from the ambush position at this time.

The security forces began to rush on the road. A security forces company commander jumped off his horse and looked at a shallow pit on both sides of the road where even people would reveal their butts. What's the name of this Eighth Route Army?

After pinching the dug up the floating soil, it was obvious that it was only dug out for a while. If you buried such a shallow pit, you have to build a grave. What does this mean?

Of course, if he saw the trenches of the Second Company and the Ninth Company, he would definitely lie on the ground and shout out loudly!

The company commander of the Public Security Army thought carefully, and the hundreds of public security troops he led surrounded the Qiankeng on both sides of the road, staring at the big eyes and looking around.

A platoon leader squeezed to the company commander: "Company Commander, look, the time for this pit to be dug is no more than half an hour at most!"

"Really? You are a good boy. You are worthy of being a talented student who has been to a military academy. You can see that." The company commander disdained.

"Company Commander, what do you mean? I have only participated in the officer training camp for half a year." The platoon leader replied embarrassedly.

"You kid can tell you, you are not as rough as me, and it's worth my brother Hua Dayang to send you to the military academy." The company commander praised the relatives indifferently.

"There are problems with these pits. They are a bit like the trenches dug by the Eighth Route Army, but they are so shallow that they obviously did not dig successfully! I didn't understand it, saying that they were digging as fox pits, but they couldn't even cover them up. This is strange!"

"What does the Eighth Route Army Dig this pit mean? Did the grave dig for them by themselves?"

"Hahaha..." A burst of laughter rang out around.

"Company Commander, something is wrong." The platoon leader looked serious.

"Hmm? What's wrong? You're not stupid when you read books, are you?"

"You see, these pits are wet and not dug deep, which means that the Eighth Route Army is not far away." The platoon leader under his command had just graduated from the North China Army Officer's School and was the younger brother of the company commander's sworn brother, and he gave him a platoon leader position.

"You also know that the digging is not deep, which means that the Eighth Route Army originally wanted to dig deeper, but when he saw our large army coming, he could only run away, right?"

"Will the Eighth Route Army set up an ambush in the village?"

"Stamping with a big ambush, didn't the reconnaissance squad come back and say that they still left half of them in the village? You kid are too suspicious and can't become a great man."

After saying that, the company commander turned over and the horse.

Taking advantage of the light from the car behind him, the company commander suddenly discovered a flash of light suddenly appeared in the grass in the distance.
Chapter completed!
