In the darkness, a large group of Eighth Route Army soldiers were lying far away on the north side of the blockade ditch, quietly watching the dark enemy with torches running towards the north side of the blockade ditch.
Tian Sanqi followed Hu Yi's example and bit a piece of grass in his mouth. There were too many enemies, so he didn't give the order to attack!
One of his platoon leaders was lying next to him, and he lowered his voice and asked: "...Company commander, we planted mines where the enemy filled the blockade ditch. Why don't we blow up the Japanese armored vehicles first?"
Tian Sanqi explained calmly: "The Japanese armored vehicles are running at the front. If all the Japanese and puppet troops are blocked in the blockade ditch, if the enemy is really cruel, with just our few people, the enemy can kill us with just one spit." Drown!"
The platoon leader continued to ask: "Oh, then most of the bandits went south in the afternoon, why did we take the opportunity to attack the bandits who stayed in the north fort?"
Tian Sanqi thought for a while: "Since you also know that all they bring is food, how much food can more than two thousand bandit soldiers carry? It's only three or four days of food for the whole day, and it will never exceed 10,000 kilograms. Even if they are beaten, It’s of no use…”
The platoon leader next to him was stunned for a moment, ten thousand kilograms is useless? Is the company commander out of his mind?
Seeing Tian Sanqi staring into the darkness without making a sound, he didn't ask any more questions.
Tian Sanqi did not tell his platoon leader that today the bandits sent people to negotiate and promised to give out 100,000 kilograms of food to the surrounding people. At this time, there was no need to bother with their little food.
More importantly, Captain Geng said that the puppet army had its own people and had arranged for them to wait for opportunities to cause chaos during the retreat.
Tian Sanqi was a little confused. The two sides had been fighting all afternoon. How could the work team be so powerful that they could pass the news to the internal agents?
The platoon leader who had been observing and counting the number of enemies in front crouched and trotted next to Tian Sanqi: "Most of the enemies have passed the blockade trench, and there is a problem with the number of people!"
Tian Sanqi said calmly: "What's the problem?"
The platoon leader lowered his voice: "I took the three squad leaders to count together. The number of enemies who came, minus the number of people we captured and killed on the battlefield, there is something wrong with the number of enemies who have withdrawn now. There is a difference of at least three to four hundred!"
Tian Sanqi was stunned for a moment: "You mean the enemy left some people in those villages?"
The platoon leader nodded: "It must be so!"
A smile appeared on Tian Sanqi's face, and he turned around and ordered to the correspondent next to him: "The enemy actually played the same trick as hiding in the village. Now it's time to play. Send the message back quickly and ask the battalion commander to arrange for people to stay overnight. Encirclement and suppression!”
The correspondent turned immediately and disappeared into the darkness to the south.
Tian Sanqi looked at the three platoon leaders gathered together and thought for a moment: "Let me tell you something, please keep it secret. There are some of our people among the puppet troops in front. Let's follow up with the enemy from the side in a moment. When the time comes, They will throw grenades in the puppet army to create chaos. Let's run faster and plant a few mines on the enemy's way to the gun tower. After they are in chaos, we can deal with the puppet troops behind them!"
The platoon leader asked in confusion: "Didn't you say you were going to attack the Japanese?"
Tian Sanqi shook his head: "The Japs have armored vehicles. We can't defeat them on the plains. We have to be careful. As long as there are not a large number of bandits following the Japs armored vehicles, we can kill them sooner or later!"
The second platoon leader stared into the darkness with his big eyes that no one could see: "Hey, is this what the battalion commander often teaches us about the enemy retreating and we pursuing in guerrilla warfare?"
The third platoon leader bumped into the second platoon leader with his shoulder: "Education? The battalion commander hasn't been here during this time, how can he have time to educate you, you idiot?"
The second platoon leader smiled awkwardly: "Hey, can't I learn it secretly?"
Tian Sanqi led his team in the darkness two miles east of the enemy, running parallel to the enemy and running northward.
At the front of the team, an armed worker was riding a bicycle, followed by two soldiers carrying mines. They first crossed the Wei River to the east, and then quickly detoured to the north.
The retreating Japanese and puppet troops finally crossed the blockade ditch. There were not many dim and swaying torches on the dark ground, and the continuous sound of footsteps reached my ears.
The searchlights on the north turret were lighting their way home.
Two puppet soldiers were walking among the sparse crowd. One puppet soldier looked around and complained in a very dissatisfied voice: "Gang Zhang, why don't you agree with me throwing grenades over the blockade ditch?"
The puppet soldier next to him looked at the crowd in the darkness and lowered his voice: "Our losses are not small and our troops are insufficient! Captain Geng said that our target this time is the Japanese. Hehe, they actually thought of using poison gas bombs! It's true! You have to give them some color."
The person who asked first also lowered his voice: "I just found out that someone was investigating the shooting incident in the team last night. I think... we may be in trouble this time."
"What do you mean?"
"There are people from the Japanese Intelligence Department in the fake team!"
"Do you know who it is?"
"The newly transferred student soldiers are said to have graduated from the Intelligence Department of the Qinghe Army. They became platoon leaders as soon as they arrived. They were the ones who provided the information about the poison gas bombs to the pseudo-battalion commander."
"Those young boys became traitors after studying for two years... It seems we have to be more careful."
"Don't look back. There is a traitor platoon leader who has been following us two. I think he has probably set his sights on us. Later I will throw a grenade in front, and you sneak around behind him and use the shell gun to hit his mother's black gun. !”
"No, I'll throw the grenade and you go kill him!"
"Hehe, although I have no education, I am better than you in skill. As long as we can take advantage of him when he is not paying attention, if we kill all the three newly transferred platoon leaders this time, I will see who else dares to cause trouble!"
"These guys think they have gone to the puppet government's military academy, so they really think of themselves as number one, and they train us to death all day long. They don't even think about it. This little devil has no roots. How can he grow up?" What?"
While the two were talking quietly, two night owl calls suddenly came from the darkness in the distance to the east.
Not long after, the night owl's voice sounded again.
The two puppet soldiers who were talking looked at each other: "Our people are in place. I'll pretend to tie my shoelaces later. You cough twice when you throw the grenade. Don't blow me up!"
"Okay, don't worry about me. Remember clearly that the target this time is the third platoon leader of the puppet army's second company. This guy is full of evil. Be careful and you must kill him with one shot."
"If I can't kill him even if I stand next to him, won't it disgrace our work team? Do you think I can join the work team? Did the platoon leader's job in the division be for nothing?"
"Then get ready!"
Seeing the turrets with searchlights flickering in front of them, the puppet soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Boom... a loud bang, suddenly exploded at the location where the Japanese and puppet soldiers thought they were least likely to be attacked.
The earth shook for a moment.
There was a sudden explosion that scared them out of their wits. Most people subconsciously lay down on the spot, immediately twisted their necks and looked back. Under the weak light of the torch that fell on the ground, a cloud of muddy mist rising somewhere in front was falling. , smoke filled the air.
A scream sounded chaotically near the explosion point.
"Enemy attack!" The Japanese observer who was the first to cross the blockade trench immediately shouted at the top of his voice.
The interpreter next to him quickly repeated the observer's words.
In the darkness, little lights flashed from time to time.
Bang...bang...bang...
Gunshots from the east rang out intensively immediately after the explosion.
