After learning from his mistakes, he went to Zhangzhuang Town. Qiushan Zhongzuo directly dispatched an infantry squadron to protect the artillery, and led other troops to assault the National Salvation Army to block the positions.

The attack was very smooth, and under the cover of mountain cannons and infantry cannons, an average of one line of defense cannons can be taken every twenty minutes.

However, because the National Salvation Army uses a large number of landmines, it is impossible for the Japanese army to use mine detectors to sweep mines while attacking. Each time they take a line of defense, they will lose more than 20 soldiers!

Fight until six o'clock in the afternoon, there were two defense lines left in front of Akiyama. As long as you break through them, the troops can enter Zhangzhuang Town...

"Sir, the national-savior army in the town seems to be about to break through!" Akiyama Nakasa was hesitating whether the troops would enter Donghui Town in one go, the scout suddenly ran over.

The troops fought for an afternoon and were about to win. Akiyama said that nothing would let the fat that had bitten into his mouth slip away.

"How many people ran away and where did they go!"

"Less than a hundred people rushed out from the south of the town and ran southwest, as if they were about to enter the mountain." The scout reported.

"The troops are chasing us immediately!" Akiyama Nakasa was anxious and made a decision immediately.

"The cavalry squadron set out first, bypass the battlefield directly, catch up with the remaining soldiers, kill them if they can, and entangle them if they can't."

"The other troops quickly occupied Zhangzhuang Town, and the baggage team and the second squadron of the first squadron left behind the hall, and the other troops followed the cavalry and pursued them."

"My goal is to wipe out all the national rescue troops outside the mountain, not to defeat them."

The cavalry squadron had two remaining squadrons, and the infantry beside Akiyama Nakasa also began to act and rushed towards the remaining two lines of defense.

But the next action was not as simple as Akiyama Nakasa imagined.

Although the remaining national rescue troops in the town ran away, they did not flee, but retreated voluntarily according to the order.

"boom……"

As soon as the troops entered the last two lines of defense, the explosion began to sound on the position, continuously!

"Sir, the National Rescue Army has buried a large number of landmines on the position. The low-level position needs the help of engineers to clean up." The squadron leader of the Second Squadron ran over to report in a dirt.

"How long does it take?" This is the question Akiyama Nakasa's most concerned issue.

"At least an hour!" the squadron leader hesitated for a moment.

"It's too slow!" Akiyama Nakasa was very dissatisfied.

"For this hour, the National Salvation Army who broke through the town fled into the mountains. It would be more difficult than outside the mountains to destroy them."

"Aren't there any cavalry squadrons chasing them? They are fast and will definitely catch up with those deserters!" the squadron leader reminded.

Akiyama Nakasa shook his head: "It's too dangerous to just let the cavalry chase!"

"The National Salvation Army can use mines to block the infantry's attack speed, or use mines to block the cavalry's pursuit speed."

"Boom...boom..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of explosions suddenly came from the highway southwest of the town.

Akiyama Nakasa was shocked and quickly raised his telescope.

The sky was not completely dark, and with the help of a telescope, Akiyama could vaguely see what was happening there.

In the place where the black smoke rose, several cavalry and horses fell to the ground.

Although the remaining cavalry rushed through the minefield, their formation was obviously chaotic than before, and the pursuit speed also decreased.

Akiyama Nakasa felt very cold. Unexpectedly, he just said that the cavalry squadron might also be attacked by landmines, and this matter came true, it was simply a crow's mouth.

He was so angry that he wanted to slap himself in both mouths.

The squadron leader didn't think so, and his eyes looked at Akiyama Nakasa with admiration.

He was so powerful that he said that the cavalry would be intercepted by mines and things happened, as if he had predicted the uncertainty.

He asked quickly: "Sir, why don't we go to Zhangzhuang Town like cavalry and go around the battlefield to pursue it!"

Reduce the cavalry that attacked Donghui Town, there are less than seventy cavalry here, which is the only mobile force in his hands. If there are too many casualties in the pursuit, the subsequent battle will be troublesome. Nodding quickly.

"The baggage team, the second team of the first squadron, the engineer team, and the third company of the Imperial Army stayed behind. First clear out the remaining mines on the battlefield, and then occupy the back of Zhangzhuang Town to protect the extra baggage and ammunition."

"The other troops and I went around the battlefield to chase the fleeing national rescue army. We must not let them enter the mountain!"

The mines on the official road were buried in advance by the National Salvation Army, but they did not have strings.

The remaining soldiers of the first battalion retreated while hanging strings, and the speed of the march was not affected at all.

The Japanese and puppet troops pursuing behind were in trouble.

Landmines were constantly detonated by them. Looking at the bodies and wounded people whose legs were blown off, not only did their morale plummet, but their marching speed also became much slower.

After chasing for a kilometer, Akiyama Nakasa decisively gave up the official road and ordered the troops to go through the wasteland next to them to pursue.

The ground is overgrown with weeds, covered with stones and shrubs, and potholes, which are definitely not as good as the flat official road.

Although there is no threat of mines, the pursuit speed is much slower, especially the cavalry. It is impossible to marching on this ground to rush to gallop...

"Sir, you're going to enter the mountain ahead!" The captain of the second squadron caught up with Akiyama from behind to remind him.

Akiyama Nakasa looked bitter, but he didn't expect that he would chase him and let the other party slip under his nose.

But he was not worried at all.

Reduce the losses and left-behind troops from attacking Zhangzhuang Town, and there are still seven or eight hundred people around, so you are not afraid of entering the mountain.

"Don't stop, continue chasing. Even if I chase it to the ends of the world, I will destroy all the remaining national-savior army!"

By three o'clock in the morning, Akiyama Nakasa and the National Salvation Army who advanced to the mountain had fought five moves in total, winning one and losing four times.

I originally wanted to continue chasing, but the troops were too tired and could only stop and rest and fight after dawn.

In Zhangzhuang Town, the landmines buried on the defense line of the National Rescue Army have been cleared, with a total of 32.

Except for more than twenty Japanese and a platoon of puppet troops scattered around the town to patrol and guard, all other Japanese and puppet troops entered the National Salvation Army Headquarters.

On the small road two kilometers away from Zhangzhuang Town, an army of nearly 200 people is slandering and advancing, with the target directed to Zhangzhuang Town.

Several figures suddenly ran towards the team from the opposite direction, and the guards who were walking in the front quickly alerted and prepared for battle.

"Battery Commander, Platoon Commander Tang of the Responsible Platoon is back!" After seeing several figures clearly, the platoon leader Liang Hongjiang, who was in a false alarm, reported in relief.

Tang Shengbo led the two soldiers to Zhou Cheng before stopping: "Battery Commander, I have found out the situation in Zhangzhuang Town."

"The National Salvation Army left behind in the town broke through and retreated at around 6 o'clock, and there were less than a hundred people left in one battalion."

"The Japanese left less than 200 people to clean the battlefield, clear the mines left by the National Rescue Army, and then entered Zhangzhuang Town."

"The more than 20 trucks of supplies and ammunition they carried with the army were all left in Zhangzhuang Town."

"The other Japanese and puppet troops entered the mountain to pursue the national rescue army that broke through. It is not clear about the situation in the mountain for the time being."

Zhou Cheng listened to it and selected the points he wanted from these information.

"You said that all the ammunition and supplies carried by the Japanese with the army were left in Zhangzhuang Town?"

Tang Shengbo nodded with certainty: "There are 24 large trucks, but there are only 20 large trucks left in the supplies and ammunition. The shells loaded by the other four large trucks were used up this afternoon!"

"Where is their chariot team?" Zhou Cheng did not hear a report about this force, so he asked quickly.

The lethality of the chariot on the battlefield is greater than that of the cavalry, and I have never seen it before, let alone the soldiers under my command.

If they suddenly join the war during the battle, the troops will definitely fall into panic and then be defeated.

No matter how strong your ability is, you will not be able to make a comeback. The only way is to be prepared in advance.

"They are strange?" Tang Shengbo thought about the report.

"The tank you mentioned was destroyed by the first and second battalions on the five-kilometer official road north of the town. The remaining two armored vehicles were divided into two, one stayed next to the destroyed tank, and one entered Zhangzhuang Town."

Zhou Cheng quickly figured it out: "The armored vehicles left behind must be to protect the tank."

"Although it was blown up and could not move, it was not completely destroyed. The Japanese would definitely not dare to leave it on the road and ignore it."

"If there are fewer troops left to protect the tank, it is like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth when encountering danger. If there are more troops left, there will be fewer troops on the front line to attack, and it will be just right to leave an armored vehicle."

"It will not distribute the forces of the frontline troops, but also have the ability to protect tanks..."

Speaking of this, a very bold plan appeared in Zhou Cheng's mind. He looked at the platoon leaders surrounding him and blurted out: "Tell me, let's do it for a while, and we will go directly to the place where the first and second battalions destroyed the tanks, and strive to take down the armored vehicles left there by the Japanese before dawn!"

"Battery Commander, you want to fight a chariot!" Xiang Feng was stunned and shouted with an incredible look on his face.

Although he had never seen a chariot with his own eyes, he had heard Li Honghui and Chen Zhengyu talk about it.

In their eyes, the chariot was covered with invulnerable iron sheets and murderous machine guns were mounted on them. The machine gunner hid inside and could move by himself, which was no different from a mobile bunker.

The troops do not have heavy weapons to attack, so they will start attacking, which is too risky.

If not destroyed, the attacking troops will definitely suffer heavy casualties under the counterattack of the chariots...

Thinking of the massacre scenes of the troops being chased by chariots, Xiang Feng's face turned pale, staring at Zhou Cheng, hoping that he could take back his order just now.

Zhou Cheng didn't know what Xiang Feng was thinking, but his decision to attack the chariot was not shaken, but instead became more and more determined.

"I not only have to fight a chariot, but also find a way to seize it intact."

"This... how is this possible?" Xiang Feng felt that Zhou Cheng was whimsical.

On the battlefield today, it is difficult to seize a Japanese rifle, let alone an armored vehicle.

Even if the battalion commander really has a way to kill the chariot left on the official road, the Japanese inside are not stupid and will definitely destroy the chariot before they die.

In Xiang Feng's eyes, Zhou Cheng's decision just now is like a fantasy and will never be realized.

Zhou Cheng was very confident: "As long as everyone starts to think of ways, nothing can be solved."

"Isn't it just an armored vehicle? I'll let everyone take a look tonight. The chariots also have weaknesses."
