Nine p.m.
The Xiaoshan Regiment launched an attack on the high ground where the Third Battalion was stationed and on the positions of the Second Battalion on time.
As the gunfire rang out, Xu San knew that the big chess game he and Ding Wei were playing had begun.
Colonel Koyama's order to Xu San was to penetrate behind enemy lines, lay an ambush, and then wait for an opportunity to conduct a sneak attack on the third battalion on the high ground, so as to achieve the purpose of capturing the high ground of the third battalion.
Xiaoshan's tactics were very good, but he never dreamed that Xu San, the most important person in his tactics, would be the biggest troublemaker in this battle.
Detours and interludes are the subjects with the largest amount of training for the Fifth Battalion, so under the leadership of Xu San, the puppet troops of the Fifth Battalion quickly reached the "target location".
After arriving at the "target location", Xu San immediately began to arrange for the puppet troops to lurk and occupy the favorable terrain.
As Xu San's lackey, Sun Changhai inspected around and confirmed that everyone was in their places, then he leaned next to Xu San and asked in a low voice, "Third Master, how many people from the Eighth Route Army are here this time?"
"Ten or twenty, right?!" Xu San said uncertainly.
Hearing this number and thinking of the weapons brought by the puppet troops, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. "If I had known, I would just point the Eighth Route Army. I can just bring the people here! I don't need to bother you, Third Master, you can take command." In this kind of battle, isn’t it a small skill that makes great use of it?”
Xu San rolled his eyes at Sun Changhai with disdain, "Come on! Forty versus twenty, you can't beat even with a two to one strength. Don't forget, this is the new regiment, the elite of the Eighth Route Army, not That kind of mud-legged third-line army!”
Sun Changhai's eyes twitched, and he felt that Xu San was right. He might not be able to win against the elite of the Eighth Route Army, but in order to express himself in front of Xu San, he continued to pat Xu San's horse. Shit, "Aren't you the third master holding the battle? As long as you are here, what do I have to fear? Even if the Eighth Route Army comes, even we can be wiped out!" Sun Changhai flattered.
Xu San took off the telescope from his waist and sneered, "Oh, you guessed right, we are indeed going to fight a company this time!"
"Ah!?" Sun Changhai took a breath of air, and his heart beat uncontrollably, "Why is there another company? Didn't you just say that there are more than a dozen people, Third Master?"
"Why are you so scared when you hear a company?" Xu San asked back.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! With Third Master under your command, and with our firepower, it's absolutely no problem to fight a company!" Sun Changhai said duplicity.
He put the telescope in front of him, looked at it for a while, pointed to a mountain col about 150 or 60 meters ahead, and said, "Did you see that mountain col in front of you?"
Sun Changhai rubbed his eyes, "I saw it. Third Master, you are saying that the Eighth Route Army will appear in that mountain col in a while."
"Well, about a dozen people! There is no threat to us. As long as you follow the command, we will not suffer casualties!" Xu San said calmly, then put down the telescope, opened the gun bag, and took out his box gun , "Let brothers prepare, the Eighth Route Army is coming! When the time comes, I will fight to death if I say so. After the fight, we have the next target."
Sun Changhai still wanted to ask, but Xu San had already issued the order, and he could only carry out the order with full of doubts.
The figures in the mountain col were so blurry that people without particularly good eyesight could not see them clearly.
The sneak attack on the third battalion was just Xu San's excuse for the fifth battalion. His real purpose was to cooperate with the new group of scheming Japanese soldiers. Before that, he had to destroy a transport team, a transport team from Chuliang.
After the phone line was "repaired", Xu San asked Chu Liang for help and ammunition supplies.
As an important military stronghold, Chuliang had sufficient ammunition reserves, so they readily agreed to Xu San's request, so they sent a team of more than a dozen people to complete the mission.
Most people in this era do not have enough to eat, are malnourished, and have poor eyesight, especially in the dark. Being able to see clearly ten meters away is already good, so Xu San destroyed this transport team without worrying about the puppet army. Will be suspicious. (End of chapter)
