Lieutenant Murata is the commander who transports ammunition supplies to the Second Route Sweeping Force.

In addition to a strengthening squad, the second battalion of the Guard Brigade was also under his command, with a total force of more than 450 people, which was the largest number of troops he commanded since he served as an officer.

As soon as the troops left the city, he prayed that the National Salvation Army and the Eighth Route Army would come and attack him.

The Honda United vacancies are severe, and a large number of squadron captains are in vacant positions, waiting for the right officers to take over. If he can achieve a highly anticipated military merit in this operation and be recognized and favored by the brigade commander, his words can be promoted to the rank of captain.

If you want to achieve military achievements, the Eighth Route Army and the National Salvation Army must attack themselves, otherwise no matter how many troops they command, they will not be able to destroy an enemy.

Disappointed that he set out at 8 o'clock in the morning and rested at twelve o'clock noon. The team walked twenty kilometers in a row without being attacked, and there was no sign of the Eighth Route Army around him.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese and puppet troops who had been resting for an hour continued to set off, and the fifth link of the security brigade served as the forward in the fourth company.

By three o'clock in the afternoon, the troops had already entered the National Rescue Military Defense Zone for nearly fifteen kilometers.

Lieutenant Murata became more and more irritable as he walked, and felt that he was too unlucky. When he didn't want to meet the National Salvation Army and the Eighth Route Army, they came to attack him; now they wanted them to come and attack him, but they all seemed to be missing and could not be found.

He felt that his dream of being promoted to captain squadron leader by virtue of his military achievements was moving away from him step by step.

After not being able to make military achievements, Lieutenant Murata decided to settle for the second best and take advantage of this rare opportunity to go out to gain some benefits for himself and his subordinates.

But the national rescue army didn't even give it this opportunity.

Since entering their defense zone, I have never seen a livestock for the villages and towns I encountered along the way, not to mention the crowds and animals that were celebrating their teeth.

Without ordinary people, there is no place to get benefits if you want to get them.

The more anxious a person is, the more anxious he is, the more likely he loses his mind when encountering things.

At 3:30 pm, a string of gunfire from the flanks was like a dose of stimulant, instantly igniting the fighting spirit and passion that Lieutenant Murata was losing.

"The enemy we are waiting for finally arrived. I will find out how many people there are on the other side and how are the equipment?"

Cao Cao, who was standing beside him, rushed to a small mound of soil on the side of the road, looked down in the direction of the gunfire, and then returned to Murata: "Report to the commander, the other party was equipped with a light machine gun, with more than fifty people, but only twenty or thirty rifles, and some people were carrying spears and big swords. Judging from the equipment and clothing, our enemy should be the Eighth Route Army..."

Lieutenant Murata was excited when he heard this: "Blessed by God Amaterasu, this is the fat meat sent to our mouths by the enemy. If you don't eat it, you won't eat it."

"The first and second teams, the Sixth Company of the Imperial Alliance Army, kill me immediately and kill the Eighth Route Army that attacked us."

The deputy captain of the second lieutenant quickly stopped Murata who was about to rush forward: "Sir, think twice, the task given to us is to send ammunition to the destination safely. Don't make any troubles on the march. You do this to disobey the military order!"

Lieutenant Murata was already overwhelmed by anxiety. Facing the military achievements that could be obtained with just reaching out, he definitely did not want to give up.

He interrupted without hesitation: "The superior asked us not to make trouble, and did not say that we could not fight back after being attacked. If we couldn't even do this, then we were not passively beaten all the way, and the troops were exhausted when we arrived at the destination."

The deputy captain was speechless by Lieutenant Murata, who wanted to fight back but didn't know what to say, so he could only passively accept this fact.

After persuading his deputy, Lieutenant Murata no longer hesitated and led the troops who had just called him to kill him at the position where the gun had just been fired.

The one who attacked Lieutenant Murata was the first squadron of the Guerrilla Brigade.

Although the entire squadron had more than 400 people, it was equipped with more heavy weapons than the Japanese and puppet troops, and it was fully capable of killing them in one battle.

But the price of fighting like this is too high.

More than 400 people ambush more than 400 people, and the battle will definitely last for a long time.

Over time, more accidents may occur on the battlefield. The puppet army, which had no combat effectiveness, was likely to burst out with strong combat power under the supervision of the Japanese army, and eventually caused a large number of casualties to the guerrillas.

There is another ending that the guerrillas don't want to see in this battle: when the battle is about to end, the Japanese who know that they will lose will blow up all the ammunition and supplies they transported before their death.

In order to avoid this accident, Liu Shuihe planned to use the method of cutting flesh to consume the Japanese and puppet troops little by little, and then gather and annihilate them after almost fighting.

Through sneak attacks, forced the Japanese to divide their troops, and then gather superior forces to fight and quickly kill the Japanese and puppet troops. This is the common method used by the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese.

Liu Shuihe decided to use this method of fighting to test the Japanese first.

It would be best if they were fooled. If they were not fooled, they would find other ways to consume their troops. If they really didn't work, they would use the last move: concentrate all their troops and firepower to ambush them.

After the battle started, as soon as the enemy troops took action, the Japanese and puppet troops divided up more than 140 people to kill them.

Liu Shuihe was stunned. He didn't expect the Japanese to be so stupid. They were fooled as soon as they took action, and they were not at all wary.

Seeing more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops clenching behind the enemy troops, as if they were about to wipe them out, Liu Shuihe immediately ordered: "The troops are ready for combat, and all the light and heavy machine guns are aimed at the Japanese in front to open fire, and strive for a round of firepower attacks to kill them all."

"As soon as the gun is fired, the infantry launches an attack, and directly solves the battle with bayonets, and does not give the puppet army time to react."

"Most of the puppet troops of the security brigade were recruited by the Japanese army and had never been on the battlefield. As long as our assault speed was fast enough, they would not even have the chance to shoot, and they would become our prisoners."

Lieutenant Murata followed more than thirty subordinates and pursued them all the way.

I only had one thought in my mind, hurry up and catch up with the Eighth Route Army in front, kill them, and accumulate military achievements for myself to be promoted to squadron leader.

The other Japanese were affected by the team leader and all ran fast, for fear that the Eighth Route Army would slip away from them.

The proportion of new recruits in the puppet army was too high, and their physical strength was not as good as the Japanese. In addition, they had been walking for several hours and consumed a lot of physical strength. When they first started chasing, some people started to breathe, their faces were red and their necks were thick, and they could not keep up with the pace of the Japanese army at all.

After running seven or eight hundred meters, the Japanese and puppet troops gradually widened the distance.

Lieutenant Murata and more than thirty Japanese soldiers ran in front, and more than a hundred puppet troops hurriedly followed them.

Liu Shuihe led the main force of the squadron to ambush in a village less than one kilometer away from the road.

After seeing the Japanese and puppet troops' pursuit formations clearly, the combat plan was immediately adjusted: "All light and heavy machine guns were concentrated at the entrance of the village and arranged into pocket formations. The Japanese opened fire as soon as they entered the village."

"The infantry ambushed behind the earthen walls on both sides of the village entrance. When the gunshots at the village entrance sounded, they all went out and used bayonets to deal with the puppet troops who remained in existence."
