Recalling Tangcheng's response to the last ambush of the Japanese and puppet troops, Captain Zhang carefully observed the situation of the Japanese troops in the team through the telescope. It is a pity that the Japanese and puppet troops who came to the rescue from Zhangguan Town were still marching at the front and rear ends, but the Japanese troops and officers walking in the middle did not walk with heavy weapons. Tang Cheng, who secretly turned on the triple eyepiece skill, had also noticed this problem. After thinking about it secretly, he whispered to Captain Zhang in a low voice.
"Just pay attention to their heavy weapons, leave the officers to me!" Tang Cheng's words made Captain Zhang, who was originally nervous, relax a little. Captain Zhang knew very well what Tang Cheng's marksmanship was like. With Tang Cheng's assistance, Captain Zhang was relieved. At this moment, Tang Cheng was also secretly calculating the time for the Japanese army to enter the explosive blast zone, and at the same time looking for the location of the Japanese commander among the Japanese and puppet troops. After more than a dozen breaths, Tang Cheng finally found the location of the Japanese commander. He immediately moved the barrel of the gun and began to aim at the target.
After looking at each other with Captain Zhang, Tang Cheng steadily pulled the trigger of his rifle. With a crisp gunshot, the Japanese troops on the road panicked. It was at this time that Captain Zhang blew his whistle, and the explosives that had been planted on the road were detonated. With an explosion of "Boom!", a cloud of dust suddenly rose up among the Japanese troops walking in the middle of the column, covering all the medium and heavy weapons of the Japanese troops. The Japanese and puppet troops on the road obviously did not expect that they would be attacked here.
The Japanese soldiers who were caught off guard were instantly knocked down by the explosion. A large number of bullet casings mixed in the heat wave claimed the lives of many Japanese soldiers. The explosion was a signal. Before the dust rising on the road had dispersed, the guerrillas ambush around them opened fire to kill the Japanese and puppet troops on the road. Tang Cheng was not idle either, he just quickly shot out the remaining bullets in the magazine, but he was different from the others because he only shot Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese and puppet soldiers were numerous and had an advantage in numbers. However, they were suddenly attacked and were unable to organize an effective counterattack in a short period of time. In particular, the Japanese officers suffered heavy losses. A Japanese soldier, Captain Cao, was the quickest to react. After lying down on the spot, he pointed at their position in Tangcheng and shouted at the other Japanese soldiers. Although he didn't know what the Japanese commander Cao was shouting, Tang Cheng would not show mercy. The next bullet would kill the Japanese commander Cao.
The gunfire gradually became intensive. After the initial panic, the remaining Japanese and puppet troops finally launched a counterattack. But it is a pity that the Japanese and puppet troops, who have never been supported by heavy weapons, their counterattacks are not very powerful, and the bullets fired by the puppet troops have no idea where they went. Compared with others, Tang Cheng's shooting speed is very fast and his accuracy is very good, but it is impossible for any target he is aiming at to escape.
In just a few minutes, more than half of the Japanese and puppet troops on the road suffered casualties, while Captain Zhang only suffered a few casualties. Seeing the remaining Japanese troops gathering on the highway, Tang Cheng used his walkie-talkie and began to call Huang Cheng, who was behind the position. The shell quickly fell from the air and fell into the crowd of people on the road. Huang Cheng's two rounds of artillery shells cleared the ground and became the last bargaining chip to crush the remaining Japanese and puppet troops. Seeing the situation, some of the puppet troops had begun to flee backwards.
These frightened puppet troops who were eager to escape from the battle did not know that Tang Cheng had no intention of letting them go. "Da da da... da da da..." The light machine gun that had been motionless was suddenly fired at this time. The puppet soldiers who fled backward became the primary target of the machine gun fire. Seeing their comrades being shot and falling next to them one after another, the remaining Japanese soldiers who originally wanted to resist were now under great pressure. Because they don't know when it will be their turn.
"Boom!" mortar blast
It exploded on the highway, and several Japanese soldiers who gathered to discuss countermeasures disappeared from Tangcheng's sight in an instant. Seeing this scene, there were also several puppet soldiers nearby. Finally, under great pressure, a puppet soldier threw away the weapon in his hand, knelt down and raised his hands. This puppet soldier who wanted to survive chose to surrender. Under his leadership, one after another the puppet soldiers gave up their resistance, threw away their weapons and raised their hands.
The last dozen or so Japanese soldiers saw that the situation was not good, so they abandoned the puppet troops and tried to escape from the field on their left. Tang Cheng then turned his gun and shot one at a time, intercepting and killing the fleeing Japanese soldiers from behind. This ambush only lasted for less than half an hour, and the winner was already decided. Of the more than 100 days of puppet troops coming from Zhangguan Town, only about thirty puppet troops and four injured Japanese soldiers survived. "Collect weapons and ammunition, and seize the time to ask about the situation in Zhangguan Town."
Tang Cheng's order was very short, but Captain Zhang immediately understood what Tang Cheng meant. He wanted to attack Zhangguan Town! That's right, Captain Zhang guessed correctly this time. After annihilating the Japanese and puppet troops from Zhangguan Town, Tangcheng did attract Zhangguan Town's attention. The scale of Zhangguan Town is not as large as Zhangjiaji, and Zhangguan Town is not considered an important stronghold. Therefore, Tangcheng judged that the strength of the Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Zhangguan Town would never exceed 300.
The number of Japanese and puppet troops that they had just ambushed and wiped out was about 170. Based on this calculation, the maximum number of Japanese and puppet troops left behind in Zhangguan Town was about 130. Moreover, among the remaining 130 Japanese and puppet troops in Zhangguan Town, most of them must be puppet troops, and the number of Japanese troops will not exceed half. Compared with Zhangguan Town, which was currently depleted of troops, Tangcheng looked down on the previous gun tower. A quarter of an hour later, the battlefield filled with the smell of blood had been quickly cleaned. Captain Zhang also asked about the situation in Zhang Guan Town.
"There were originally 280 troops stationed in Zhangguan Town, including 80 Japanese troops and the rest were puppet troops. The Japanese and puppet troops we just ambushed had 170 people, including 60 Japanese troops and the rest were puppet troops." Captain Zhang asked. The situation made Tangcheng happy. In this way, there were only 20 Japanese troops left in Zhangguan Town and less than a hundred puppet troops. Seeing Tang Cheng's ecstatic expression, Captain Zhang knew that he could not persuade Tang Cheng, so he could only tell another situation.
"Don't be too happy! The reason why Zhangguan Town sent so many troops is because there is also a militia group formed by the Maintenance Association in Zhangguan Town. This militia group has about 300 people, and almost everyone in Zhangguan Town has There is one person in each family. Once we injure the militiamen during the sneak attack on Zhangguan Town, they will definitely help the Japanese and puppet troops exchange fire with us. The combat effectiveness of these militiamen is not very good, but they are familiar with Zhangguan The situation in town.”
Captain Zhang's words were a bit general, but Tang Cheng already understood what he wanted to express. It's just that Tang Cheng didn't care at all about the situation Captain Zhang said. He had never heard that for the sake of the so-called militia, the puppet troops who had been in Zhangguan Town for more than a hundred days had to be spared. "Old Zhang, you just think too much! I don't care what kind of militia they are or other armed forces, as long as they dare to help the Japanese and puppet troops, they are our enemies. There is only one solution to the enemy, that Just kill them."
Tang Cheng's toughness and indifference caused Captain Zhang's expression to change. He had to admit that what Tang Cheng just said was right. The Maintenance Society is a traitor organization supported by the Japanese. Not only do they help the Japanese oppress the people, but they also collect all kinds of materials they need for the Japanese in accordance with the orders of the Japanese army. As for the militia formed by the Maintenance Association, although most of the members were forced to come, Captain Zhang would never be able to do it for them if he had to let go of the Japanese and puppet troops and sit back and watch the Japanese and puppet troops in Zhangguan Town continue to oppress the people.
After some psychological struggle, Captain Zhang stopped talking and began to make preparations to attack Zhangguan Town in accordance with Tang Cheng's request. The battlefield was cleaned quickly. Those puppet soldiers who chose to surrender and the four injured Japanese soldiers had their hands and feet tied with ropes. Captain Zhang also left four guerrillas here to guard them. According to the confessions of those puppet soldiers, Tangcheng took away a puppet army squad leader and a puppet army veteran from among the surrendered puppet troops.
"What should be said, I have just said it, life or death depends on your own choice! As long as you can successfully pass the checkpoint outside Zhangguan Town, I will let you go. You can also refuse or If you defect temporarily, I will send you to hell immediately." On the way to Zhangguan Town, Tang Cheng did not forget to use words to intimidate the two puppet soldiers. The two puppet soldiers who were eager to survive naturally did not dare to disobey Tang Cheng's orders, because they all knew that if they wanted to survive, they had to obey Tang Cheng's orders.
Tang Cheng's group was divided into two parts. One part followed Tang Cheng and put on the uniforms of the puppet army, while Captain Zhang and the others temporarily acted as prisoners, preparing to cooperate with Tang Cheng and others to pass the checkpoint outside Zhangguan Town. Although there are only a dozen puppet troops and four Japanese troops guarding the checkpoint outside Zhangguan Town, the checkpoint is too close to Zhangguan Town. As long as a gun is fired, the Japanese puppet troops inside Zhangguan Town will definitely hear it. See. Therefore, Tangcheng and the others must pass and control this checkpoint without shooting.
The place where Tangcheng and the others ambush was seven or eight miles away from Zhangguan Town. It was still early, so Tangcheng was not in a hurry. When there were only three miles left from Zhangguan Town, Tang Cheng once again reminded the two puppet soldiers and fixed a grenade on each of them. The grenade with the back cover unscrewed was fixed on the back waist of the two puppet soldiers, and the string connected to the grenade ring was fixed on the fingers of the two guerrillas. As long as these two puppet soldiers dare to make dangerous moves, the grenades fixed to them will be detonated immediately.
