In the south of Zhaozhuang Village, countless figures were turning the soil out of an irrigation canal.
The scouts used the shelter of the village to observe the movements of the enemy in the north.
In the eyes of the bandits, Zhaozhuang Village is a frightening place for them. It is a real millstone of flesh and blood.
The bandits who participated in yesterday's attack naturally slowed down, but the new recruits did not think so. In their hearts, as long as the imperial army was there, they were invincible.
Even if an agreement was reached with the Eighth Route Army, only Wang Sanzhu's direct descendants would know about the agreement.
Seeing those Taoist people on the list requested by the Eighth Route Army walking at the front of the team, Qi Laoqi let out a sigh of relief.
The Eighth Route Army also promised to give them a chance to change their ways, but if there are really people who are not afraid of death, they can just use their lives as a pledge to make friends with the Eighth Route Army.
If we can make good friends with the Eighth Route Army and the National Army this time, and have the Japanese covering them, then there will be no need to raise so many idiot subordinates in Huang County who are not just following the commander. Those people who know how to do nothing do nothing but rob the common people. , if you can’t grab anything, you will come to Commander Wang to complain about your poverty and ask for money or food!
In Wang Sanzhu's view, they were the heroes of Liangshan. They were first recruited by the national army, and then later by the imperial army. They became the lords of a county. Naturally, they had to get rid of the Taoist clan leaders who did not follow his father and son wholeheartedly!
The battalion commander of the security army was in a happy mood, because he had finally left the lead to the bandits. There were more than a thousand bandits in the front, and they were happy to form a formation to wave flags and cheer for the bandits. The most important thing was to get money.
The Japanese Lieutenant never expected that the bandits would be so smart, crushing them all the way. What could be better than this feeling?
He came to the Chinese battlefield for several years and made a lot of money. After his net worth increased greatly, he began to cherish his life. This time he had no intention of going into battle himself. He heard that the comfort station had sent a new group of geisha from the island...
Although I can't personally cut off the heads of the guerrillas, I have seen too much life and death, but it is more meaningful to live!
Holding a large group of troops in their hands, they marched for an hour, and most of them finally passed the blockade ditch and slowly rolled southward.
A former scout came to report that the Eighth Route Army and the National Army were establishing blocking positions south of Zhaozhuang.
The lieutenant was a little hesitant. His identity was there, neither high nor low. He didn't know anything about the higher strategic level. He still hasn't figured out what the guerrillas were up to!
According to previous practice, as long as the imperial army is dispatched, the guerrillas can only run. This time they dare to fight a positional battle with the imperial army?
Do you think that the Imperial Army is a soft persimmon that can be pinched at will, and that the Eighth Route Army looks down on my armored vehicles...or is there another purpose?
The lieutenant graduated from the infantry school, so he was certainly not a fool. He still understood that there must be evil when things go wrong, but he did not adopt the world's most advanced tactical arrangement of attacking in the middle and using detours on both wings.
Battalion Commander Zhi also suggested that Tubal Road has no heavy artillery, let alone heavy machine guns. As soon as the imperial armored vehicles come out, who can compete with them?
The lieutenant paid no attention.
Wang Sang is a cheerful person. It seems that he knows where to get up when he falls. At this time, with the support of the imperial army, he calmly and resolutely obeys his order to advance as a whole.
It seems that after this battle, Wang Sang's team can be incorporated into the Imperial Alliance Army.
The lieutenant was a little unhappy. One of his second lieutenants was obviously a little restless and wanted to cross the Imperial Alliance Army in front and attack southward several times.
The lieutenant really wanted to give him a slap in the face to wake up that idiot. Even if you go to fight first and succeed, the final result will still be that the guerrillas escape, and the positional annihilation battle will definitely turn into a chase battle. By then, even if they are eliminated, Most of the guerrillas also have to put in a lot of effort.
Now that these Chinese are taking the lead, if they die, they will die. At worst, we will just have to recruit new people.
Another hour passed.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the guerrillas in the south were still digging trenches. It seemed that they had no intention of escaping, but wanted to fight a tough battle with the army commanded by the imperial army!
The lieutenant thought about it again and again, and finally came up with the best tactic in the world: thrust forward with both wings and press forward.
Isn't it just a crab tactic? Fortunately, he racked his brains to think about it.
One company of security troops on each side drove the bandit soldiers in front to detour from both wings. The mission goal was to bypass the Tubal Road position and launch an attack from both wings at the same time.
A Japanese second lieutenant team leader, relying on his own bravery, asked to lead a bicycle team and a company of bandit soldiers on horseback to detour from further away to the plain south of the guerrilla position to cut off the guerrillas' escape route.
The lieutenant thought for a long time and categorically rejected the squad leader's request. Since everyone was in position for positional warfare, there was no need for me to spend so much time playing encirclement tactics with the guerrillas.
In positional warfare, the imperial army has never been afraid of anyone! Sooner or later, this group of guerrillas will be wiped out on the battlefield.
…
Gao Yidao believed that although there was only one company left in the Second Battalion, there was no problem in fighting hundreds of bandits. In the past, they had been fighting guerrillas and rarely had the opportunity to engage in positional warfare. This time, they had stronger troops and directly asked to continue to guard the left.
Wang Penglian had two more machine guns, and he was full of confidence at this time, but he was asked by Hu Yi to guard the right road, that is, all the way to the Wei River.
The center of the Weihe River is full of silt, and the attacking bandits can't get around it at all!
Long Fanzhang divided his people into two parts. One part was directly guarding the front with Hu Yi's company, and the other part was a reserve team with another company under Hu Yi. The number of troops on both sides was about the same.
The enemy's position and movement are there, there are no big tactical problems, so for now, we just wait for the bandits to come over.
Captain Yang has other important matters and has left.
Captain Geng, who was left behind, was very busy. Numerous intelligence reports from around the plain showed that there were currently no enemies from other directions coming for reinforcements.
After the division received the news, teams from Hua County in the south, Pu County in the east, and He County in the southwest began to assemble to block the Japanese and puppet troops who were leaving the city for reinforcements at any time.
The head of the military region believes that in recent years, the enemy has been sweeping away and chasing us. This time the independent regiment faced the enemy head-on. Although the scale is small, it is of great significance. It is a major change in the situation of the struggle on the plains.
If the battle fails and retreats, the Eighth Route Army is a team that is good at fighting guerrillas. There is nothing good to say about this to the outside world.
But if we can win, it will be very beneficial to the recruitment of local armed forces on the plains, and it will be very important to win over the Allied Autonomous Army stationed at Daokou north of Huang County.
As for why the National Army came to help, the reason is very simple. The National Army is also fighting for the Allied Autonomous Army. The situation between the two sides is very delicate. An advisory team of the Japanese is stationed in Daokou Town, the headquarters of the Allied Army. Five miles outside the town are stationed In the headquarters of the First Brigade of the four brigades of the Allied Forces, in the landlord's courtyard of the headquarters, the Eighth Route Working Group has its office in the east building, and the National Army Working Group is in the west building!
Both sides are secretly fighting for the Allied Autonomous Army, which is mainly composed of Japanese support and banditry.
The most important thing is that Allied Army Commander Wang Tianxiang had been appointed by his superiors as the Eighth Route Army Division Commander!
But for the sake of the great cause of the Anti-Japanese War, he resolutely relied on his many years of experience to become brothers with the nearby bandits and persuaded them to form the Puppet East Asia Autonomous Alliance Army together!
But so far, except for the first brigade, which is willing to surrender to the Eighth Route Army, the other three brigades have not all obeyed Wang Tianxiang's orders.
The reason is very simple. The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army has been taken over by the Japs. In the eyes of the bandit leaders, the Eighth Route Army with its small arms and legs is just an army under the National Government. How can it be compared to directly surrendering to the Japs who occupy most of North China!
The reason why the national army working group was allowed to stay was because after listening to the analysis of the situation by the Eighth Route Army, it was really possible that this little devil was really a grasshopper after the fall, and he wouldn't be able to jump around for a few days. What's more, he could also use this to claim to the outside world that he was in Cao Ying's heart. Han, leave a good name...
The bandits who live on the wall are just leaving a way out for themselves.
If the Japanese special high school class knew about it, what would the bandits say to the Japanese adviser?
Hehe, I have someone with a gun. As long as we don't admit it, we will say that the Eighth Route Army is playing a divisive plan. Those little devils who can't even speak Chinese know nothing!
