Tang Cheng deliberately opened an opening to allow the remaining Japanese and puppet troops to break out. The purpose was just to reduce the pressure on his side, but he did not really want to let these Japanese and puppet troops go. Therefore, when he confirmed that there were only more than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops who broke through the encirclement, and most of them were puppet troops, he led his team members and chased them directly. "Old Zhang, lead your people to clean up the battlefield! Remember, you have to be fast. If the Japanese and puppet troops come again, we will be in trouble."
Of course Tangcheng knew that the large Japanese and puppet troops in Xiaoli Village would not send reinforcements at this time, and he was deliberately trying to scare Captain Zhang. The puppet troops who rushed out for more than a hundred days wanted to slow down their efforts and rush to Huaishu Township in one go. However, what they did not expect was that there were pursuers behind them. There were not many pursuers, but every time they fired, one of their own would be shot and fall. In just two miles of pursuit, their number had dropped sharply from more than a hundred to less than seventy.
Tang Cheng and others who were chasing behind them did not engage in close combat with them at all, but shot them from a distance. In particular, Tang Cheng and the three snipers had shot and killed many Japanese soldiers in succession, including the last remaining Japanese corps commander. The already tired and panting puppet troops saw that the situation was not going well, and with the last of their strength, they simply fled in other directions when they were less than 2 miles away from Huaishu Township, like birds and beasts scattering.
Tang Cheng never thought about killing all the puppet troops, but he would never allow these puppet troops to flee in all directions to take away weapons and ammunition when they left. Upon hearing the shouting, the puppet soldiers suddenly realized that in order to continue to live, they had no choice but to throw away their weapons and ammunition. Sure enough, as long as the puppet soldiers who took the initiative to throw away their weapons and ammunition would not encounter bullets fired from behind when they fled, they would finally have a chance to survive.
The last remaining Japanese soldiers imitated the puppet soldiers and took the initiative to throw away their weapons and ammunition, but Tangcheng would not let them go, and the only response they received were bullets fired accurately one by one. . When the last Japanese soldier was knocked down by a bullet fired from behind, he was less than a hundred meters away from Huaishu Township. In front of the traitors of the Huaishu Township Maintenance Council, Tang Cheng, masked in a black scarf, swaggered up to the corpse and took away the weapons and ammunition from the corpse.
Tang Cheng, who deliberately covered his face with a black scarf, acted so arrogantly, but those guys from the Huaishu Township Maintenance Association did not dare to show their faces. They could only hide and wait until Tang Cheng and the others left before they came out to collect the Japanese corpse. Three days ago, a large Japanese and puppet army passed here, but it looked like there were thousands of people. How come it has only been two days and the arrogant Japanese soldiers are being chased like dogs? They still didn't know that something had happened in the county town. After some discussion, they finally decided to send someone to the county town to report the news. At the same time, they also sent someone to follow the direction they left in Tangcheng to find out what happened.
The traitors who maintained the association in Huaishu Township didn't know that something had happened in the county. They had to blame the guys in the county's detective team for this matter. When they rushed to Xiaoli Village to report the news to Colonel Kurokawa, they set off too early and did not stop to report the news when they passed Huaishu Township. In addition, these guys from the Huaishu Village Maintenance Committee were accustomed to protecting themselves and never thought of taking the initiative to go to the county seat to contact the Japanese and puppet troops. Therefore, due to a strange combination of circumstances, Huaishu Village is still unaware of the changes in the county.
There were three people sent by the Huaishu Township maintenance committee to track them in Tangcheng. They were all the young students with the strongest legs in Huaishu Township. However, they left Huaishu Township for only an hour before they returned to Huaishu Township with pale faces. Facing the questions from the maintenance committee, one of the young men shuddered before finally telling the reason. "The three of us originally planned to walk along the road for a while, but not far after we walked out, the corpses of Japanese soldiers began to appear on the roadside, followed by the corpses of puppet soldiers. Not one or two, but There are more than a dozen or dozens of them.”
"We were all frightened at the time. I was thinking about turning around and coming back, but the boss said to walk a little further ahead to take a look. When we walked to Kucaoling, we saw a large number of corpses. It looked like there were hundreds of people. ." Seeing the people in the Maintenance Council looking at him with suspicion, the young man who spoke hurriedly defended himself. "Really! I didn't lie to you, they both saw it! Mr. Cao, even if you don't believe what I said, Da Tou is a relative of your family, it's possible that he can also lie to you."
The young man whose nickname was Big Tou had also come to his senses at this time, and what he said was basically the same as what the young man said before. After listening to the words of the two men, the people in the Huaishu Township Maintenance Committee couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. The one who could kill so many Japanese and puppet troops at once was definitely not a Tubal guerrilla. Something big is going to happen! Fortunately, the people who went to the county town to report the news did not come back, which shows that things are still normal in the county town. While the Huaishu Township Maintenance Committee was secretly thinking about countermeasures, Tangcheng and the others had finished cleaning the battlefield and were preparing to leave.
However, Tangcheng is not planning to return directly to the mountain village, but is preparing to continue to carry out the next wave of targeted attacks against the large number of Japanese and puppet troops coming out of the county. Captain Zhang was very puzzled by what Tang Cheng said about targeted strikes. While everyone else was busy, he approached Tang Cheng and whispered the questions in his mind. "I won't be able to explain this fixed-point strike to you for a while! Anyway, remember, the fixed-point strike I am talking about is to use all available conditions at hand to find a suitable location to ambush the Japanese and puppet troops."
Captain Zhang was a little confused by what Tang Cheng said. In his opinion, the targeted strikes mentioned by Tang Cheng were what they were doing these days, looking for opportunities to ambush the Japanese and puppet troops! Seeing the confusion in Captain Zhang's expression, Tang Cheng grinned and said, "Old Zhang, there is a difference between targeted strikes and what we have been doing these days! Attacking the Japanese and puppet troops can be done at any time, but targeted strikes There are too many things involved, especially the firepower output, which is the biggest problem.”
Tang Cheng patiently explained the difference between an ambush and a strike to Captain Zhang, who then nodded half-seriously to show that he understood. Half an hour later, Tangcheng and the others, who had returned with a full load, quietly entered Yangshan Mountain again. They had to continue walking on the mountain road to Xiaoli Village. What happened in the county made Colonel Kurokawa, who led his troops out, full of doubts. He didn't care about the gains and losses of the county at all. What he cared about was who attacked the county.
When they entered Tangcheng in Yangshan Mountain and moved along the mountain road to Xiaoli Village, it was already completely dark. Captain Zhang and the others, who had been running around for several days, didn't say it in words, but in fact they were already exhausted. Tang Cheng simply decided to rest in the mountains for one night and wait until dawn tomorrow to inquire about the situation of the Japanese and puppet troops. The traces left by the last battle in Xiaoli Village have long been cleaned up by the Japanese and puppet troops, but some traces of the battle still remain.
"Don't worry, the Japanese are not stupid, but they are not very smart! They would never have imagined that we emerged from the Yangshan Mountain again and came to Xiaoli Village! The last time we were here, we also had interactions with the Japanese army. If we take action, they will definitely think that our numbers are small and our firepower is weak, just like the Tubal Road they are chasing! As long as they underestimate us, this is their most fatal loophole. As long as we seize this loophole, we can continue to attack here. them."
Captain Zhang, who was full of pressure, couldn't sleep at all. Tang Cheng could only try his best to comfort him, "Look at you now. Each of you is equipped with a 38 rifle and has enough bullets! Even if you find him this time, If you don't get the chance, or the battle results are not ideal, as long as you strengthen your training and pay attention to intelligence collection, there will be many more opportunities like this in the future!" Tang Cheng's consolation finally made Captain Zhang feel a lot better.
The next morning, when it was getting dark, Tang Cheng quietly left the camp with two team members. The Japanese and puppet troops who came from the county seat are no longer in Xiaolizhuang, but in a mountain depression 30 kilometers south of Xiaolizhuang. Two days ago, Colonel Kurokawa commanded this mixed Japanese and puppet force to encircle and suppress two anti-Japanese armed forces in this area. According to the results of the plainclothes investigation, this area should contain the so-called fortress villages of the two anti-Japanese armed forces.
Tangcheng and the others followed the traces left on the road along the kilometers outside Xiaoli Village for more than ten miles before they finally discovered traces of the activities of a small group of Japanese and puppet troops. According to these traces of activities, Tangcheng soon Then we judged the direction of the activities of the Japanese and puppet troops. But there are only three of them, and all they can do at present is to detect the enemy's situation, rather than actively provoking the Japanese and puppet troops.
When lunch was approaching, the three people from Tangcheng followed a small group of puppet troops and finally determined the location of the large group of Japanese and puppet troops. After roughly estimating the number of Japanese and puppet troops, Tang Cheng calmed down and decided to give up attacking the Japanese and puppet troops. Although Tangcheng and the others have continuously ambushed the Japanese and puppet troops coming out of the county in the past few days, the enemy has a large number of people. So far, the number of Japanese and puppet troops is still close to a thousand.
Tangcheng never likes to fight stupid battles. The enemy's number of troops is thirty times that of our own. With such an unequal comparison of forces, if they fight hard, there will only be one result, and that is that their entire army will be annihilated here. Since arriving in this era, Tangcheng has made so many arrangements in private, not just to find an opportunity for himself to fight to the death with the Japanese. Therefore, without any persuasion from the two strong players, Tang Cheng decided to change his plan and absolutely could not fight head-on with these Japanese and puppet troops.
