Dong Fei stared at the map for only two minutes and made a decision: "Damn it! This is the fat meat delivered to his mouth. If you don't eat it, you won't eat it!"

"The troops rushed to the stronghold for an hour and a half, and then rushed to the stronghold under the cover of infantry artillery and mortars. After a half-hour rest, they attacked the stronghold under the cover of infantry artillery and mortars. They ended the battle within an hour, and then transported the loot and returned to the defense zone before dawn..."

"The Action Team is familiar with the terrain, you are on the front, go now."

"The seized spoils, captives, recruits, and all the recruits were handed over to the recruit companies and militia units behind them."

"Leave one-third of the large carts and mules and horses to transport the spoils, and two-thirds of the large carts and mules and horses to go to the stronghold with me, and strive to transport all the spoils seized in the stronghold."

Deputy Company Commander Zhang wanted to attack that stronghold more than anyone else. If it weren't for the fact that he had too few troops and had no heavy weapons to attack, he would have fought last night and wouldn't have waited for the battalion commander to come.

So the battalion commander nodded and he took the order loudly: "Then I will set out now. I have investigated the terrain of the stronghold and the troops can launch an attack when they arrive."

In Pingding City, the gunfire that had been sounded for less than an hour completely stopped.

The entire Pingding is like a huge transit station, with military cars, mules, horses and carts entering and exiting through the east gate, which is very lively.

Zhou Cheng stood next to the gate of the Pingding Arsenal and watched trucks rush out of the arsenal with full loads of ammunition and headed straight to the defense zone of the National Rescue Army. His face was already full of excitement.

Chief of Staff Chen Zhengyu stood in the arsenal compound and was sweating profusely. He commanded the troops to carry ammunition to the car and then commanded the troops to carry grain to the car.

After all the first batch of twelve cars set off, Chen Zhengyu caught some free time and ran to Zhou Cheng to report the situation.

"Captain, half of the ammunition in the arsenal has been transported away by the car transport team of the logistics company. If nothing unexpected happens, they can return in more than an hour. They will try to transport it again and emptie all the ammunition left in the arsenal!"

"We will definitely make a profit without losing money this time because of limited time. We have not had time to count how many weapons and ammunition seized, and we plan to wait until they are all transported back to the defense zone before calculating, but we can see a rough idea from the seized arsenal list."

"In addition to two mountain cannons, four mortars, and six heavy machine guns? Six hundred 79-caliber rifles and ten Czech-made for puppet military? We also seized at least 5,000 mortars and mountain cannon shells, and 100,000 heavy machine gun bullets? Eighty-hundred 60,000 65-caliber pneumatic machine gun bullets? Three hundred thousand 79-caliber pneumatic machine gun bullets, grenades and grenades combined with more than 20,000..."

"I also learned from the captive puppet army that most of the ammunition in the arsenal was prepared by the Japanese army to attack us? Less than one-third were ammunition reserved by the pacification garrison."

"Now that it is in our hands, if the Japanese still plan to attack our National Salvation Army, they must allocate new weapons and ammunition from behind? Just preparing these supplies will be enough for them to work hard for a while."

"The grain warehouse is full of grain, all of which are of high quality rice and wheat, and they are also prepared in advance to attack us."

"The material warehouse has reserved 1,500 sets of Japanese winter clothes and 3,000 sets of puppet army winter clothes, all of which are cheaper for us."

"With these winter clothes and quilts? Not only can all the soldiers of the National Salvation Army be divided into one set? The militia troops can also be divided into one set."

The more Zhou Cheng heard the smile on his face, the stronger he was, and he was very happy to order: "You must transport all the spoils back, and no grain should be left to the Japanese."

"I have ordered the spy company, the reconnaissance company, and the guard company to intercept the Japanese and puppet troops who returned to the county town on the battlefield? If you have the chance, you can eat them directly, so that we will have a longer time to empty and pacify."

"I have also sent out the two companies of the Fourth Battalion? Killing traitors in the villages around the county town should also have a lot of gains!"

Chen Zhengyu immediately received the order: "Please rest assured by the regiment commander? We made sufficient preparations before departure in order to clear the airs and pacify us. We promise not to leave a grain of food for the Japanese? A bullet."

Major Asakawa and his remaining soldiers of more than 200 people had just escaped from the interception of a guerrilla team.

Running less than two kilometers forward? A lieutenant panted and reported with a heavy expression: "Sir, we lost a total of 16 imperial troops, 21 imperial troops in the raid just now, and lost a mortar. Now there are only 216 troops left!"

Major Asakawa's eyes were full of anger, his fists were clattering, and he gritted his teeth, and he wanted to scold people, but in the end he held it back.

The crisis facing the troops has not yet been resolved, and the guerrillas may catch up at any time.

Moreover, no one knows what the county is currently in. As the captain, he must always be vigilant and not be blinded by anger. Otherwise, a fire pit just emerged from the front and jumped into another fire pit, which would eventually bring a devastating blow to the troops.

Take a deep breath, force yourself to calm down and order: "The troops should continue to move forward at a fast speed and the formation should be dispersed as much as possible. If they are attacked again, we can rush out of the battlefield at the minimum cost!"

Major Asakawa has a lot of combat experience. After being raided by guerrillas twice before, he realized that the next retreat would not go too smoothly. He made a quick decision to change the retreat method to reduce losses.

The formation is indeed dispersed. The limited firepower of the guerrillas cannot cause too much damage to them in a short period of time. The next two raids only lost more than 20 people.

But this formation will be in vain when it hits the well-equipped National Savior Army spy company.

The two troops met ten kilometers away from Pingding County.

After knowing that the Japanese and puppet troops were marching in a long snake formation, and the team of more than 100 people was pulled into more than 200 meters long, the company commander Shen Liwen of the spy company immediately decided to cut them into two parts, then divide and surround them, gather and annihilate them.

A reinforced platoon blocked the only way that Asakawa Major had to pass, and the remaining troops cut and encircled and annihilated the artillery, heavy machine gun troops, and baggage troops that were walking at the back of the team.

After successfully taking down these Japanese soldiers, dozens of Japanese infantry left will become a group of hungry wolves without fangs, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Then the spy company will concentrate its firepower and troops to eat them.

Major Asakawa walked in the middle of the team and just turned over a small earthblock with four flames appearing on it, one of which was shot out by a heavy machine gun.

"Baga! I'm almost at the county town, why are there still enemies? And the firepower is so strong! Let the follow-up troops not fight, and immediately rush through the enemy's firepower interception network. When we return to the county town, we will win!"

After giving the order, Major Asakawa continued to run forward with the troops.

No one knows whether there are ambushers on other high grounds nearby, so the sooner you leave here, the safer it will be.

"Run..." Asakawa had just run a few steps forward, a shout of killing came from the high ground where the gun was being fired. When he turned around, he saw dozens of figures rushing down from the high ground. The soldiers in the front were holding light machine guns and shooting while running on the road.

Major Asakawa suddenly saw the opponent's purpose, and his face turned pale: "No, the enemy wants to divide us into two parts!"

"I'm notifying the troops behind us to come and meet with us!"

The team was too scattered, and the order of convergence was only twenty or thirty meters behind. The enemies emerging from the high ground had rushed to the road and instantly divided the troops into two parts.

Just as Major Asakawa was stunned, the vanguard troops also began to make gunshots, and the sound of heavy machine guns was mixed in the middle.

As soon as Major Asakawa looked up, he saw the messenger running over with a panic look on his face: "Sir, there are enemies in front of us to block us and are equipped with heavy machine guns. We need artillery fire and heavy machine gun support to rush over."

"The artillery and heavy machine gun troops were divided back by the enemy!" a second lieutenant shouted.

Then a small team leader stood up in front of him: "Sir, I will lead my troops back immediately to meet the artillery and heavy machine gun troops divided by the enemy."

There is blockage in front and pursuers behind. If you want to bring the troops back to the county town, you must choose one direction to fight out.

The easiest way to break through from the front is definitely the easiest. Major Asakawa couldn't think of any other way, so he could only nod: "Hurry up!"

“Hayi…”

The second lieutenant who received the order quickly gathered the troops and prepared to pick up the divided artillery and heavy machine gun troops.

At this time, another problem of the army's long snake formation marching began to be exposed.

If you march normally, an infantry team gathers together, and the formation is no more than twenty meters. The commander can move with a greeting.

But now the formation of an infantry squad has been stretched to fifty or sixty meters. The captain must first lower the assembly order to the ears of each soldier before he can assemble here.

Although the Japanese were very powerful and had a fast reaction, it still took two or three minutes.

At this moment, the National Salvation Army that rushed onto the main road had built a temporary line of defense.

The machine gun was mounted on a gentle slope on the side of the road, and the rifleman was lying on the ground, waiting for the Japanese to hit him in the gun.

The thirty subordinates who had finally assembled were rushed forward for dozens of meters and then they ran into the bullets fired by the spies...

Several soldiers were beaten into sieves and fell to the ground in an instant. The remaining soldiers had to lie on the ground and shoot at the enemy who blocked their own.

But the blocking firepower of the spy company was several times that of theirs, especially the heavy machine guns mounted on the high ground, shooting at them from a high point, and it was not safe for the Japanese to lie on the ground.

Major Asakawa kept staring at the offensive troops!

This is the only hope to rush out of the encirclement from the front. If the artillery and heavy machine gun troops cannot be brought over, the troops will definitely not be able to rush over.

Unexpectedly, the receiving troops were blocked halfway as soon as they rushed forward for dozens of meters and were in a dilemma.

Major Asakawa felt cold all of a sudden.

The problems faced by the receiving troops are exactly the same as those of the vanguard troops. Unless there are mortars and grenade launchers knocking out the opponent's heavy machine gun fire points from a long distance, they will not be able to rush over the troops even if they fight.

But the grenade launcher and mortar were separated by the opponent on the other side of the high ground, and there was no way to reinforce them.
