According to the information provided by the Military Control Commission earlier, combined with the Japanese troops and weapons and equipment detected from the battlefield in the past few days, Hu Biao buried a large amount of explosives on the way to retreat to build an ambush position.

After handing over the occupied artillery positions to Pang Bingxun's troops who arrived at the first time, Hu Biao did not participate in the subsequent battle. In Hu Biao's view, there was no need for him to participate in the 40th Army and the 59th Army.

The spy company has a small number of troops, and only by adopting a surprise attack can it play its role as a surprise soldier. At present, the battlefield advantages are controlled by the national army. Hu Biao believes that Pang Bingxun and Zhang Zizhong will not miss such an excellent opportunity.

Both generals from the Northwest Army, Pang Bingxun and Zhang Zizhong were famous generals. They commanded the large corps and their command level was definitely not as good as the two. What Hu Biao had to do was bit off the fattest piece of meat from the Japanese.

Knowing that the Japanese army attacking Linyi had multiple cars and a batch of armored vehicles, they would inevitably take the road when retreating. Before attacking Linyi, the Japanese army had occupied Ju County not far from Linyi, and once they retreated, they would inevitably retreat to Ju County.

The ambush position built by Hu Biao is the only way to Ju County. When Hu Biao led the spy company to the ambush position, Xu Sandao and others who arrived in advance had been waiting on the position for a long time.

“Is there any situation?”

"Captain, the Japanese retreat troops have not been found yet!"

"Don't worry! Tonight was too sudden. At least the Japanese had nearly 10,000 troops, so it was not easy to gather them together. Xiao Wu sent a report to General Pang, informing our troops that they would set up an ambush on the Linju Highway and ask him to draw troops as soon as possible.

Our troops are limited, and the time we can stop the Japanese. If they cannot come as soon as possible, with our little force alone, they will definitely not be able to resist the Japanese for too long. Three swords, you guys come with me and add a little more heavy weapon."

"Yes, captain!"

While ordering Zheng Jingwu, who was accompanying him, he sent a message to Pang Bingxun, asking him to gather his troops to follow him and pursue him. In order to try to block the Japanese troops who were retreating, Hu Biao also planned to deploy more heavy weapons and firepower on the position.

It was still the same rule. Xu Sandao and others were waiting by the side. After hearing Hu Biao call them over, they carried away the weapons that were suddenly placed on the ground. Such a strange situation has been seen many times for Xu Sandao and others.

Looking at the heavy machine guns and machine guns, Xu Sandao grinned and said, "With these weapons, it's enough for the Japanese to drink a pot! Captain, do you still have shells? We still have a few mortars, which should be used."

"Yes! But remember that when you clean the battlefield later, the shells and heavy machine gun bullets need to be replenished. You must remember that these weapons and ammunition did not fall from the sky, and if you don't replenish, it will be consumed sooner or later."

"I know! After the war, we must search for more spoils."

Even though he was curious, Xu Sandao and others would not ask too much. Even if he asked, Hu Biao would not say anything. When he carried the heavy machine gun to the position, many soldiers also said excitedly: "Good guy, with these heavy machine guns, the Japanese don't think about going there!"

While the Japanese retreat troops had not arrived yet, Hu Biao arranged two machine guns at the commanding heights of the ambush position. Together with the mortars that had been handed over to the commando, artillery positions were also built on the left and right sides.

Listening to the still fierce gunfire in front, Hu Biao also knew that the war ahead was still continuing. I believe that the Japanese army also knew that in the face of the full counterattack of the defenders, their command system was removed, and they had to retreat to Ju County to rest and preserve their strength.

If you don't retreat quickly, you're afraid that the remaining troops may be wiped out around Linyi. Several team leaders who made the retreat decision quickly ordered the baggage troops to pack supplies and load them with vehicles, and then leave a certain blocking force behind.

The main forces of the other brigades followed the convoy to Ju County. The armored vehicles assigned to them were headed to ensure safety during the retreat. The troops that were subsequently collected were also assigned to the blocking forces to ensure the safety of the main forces evacuation.

At this time, Pang Bingxun, who was staying in Linyi City, saw the telegram sent by Hu Biao, and said unexpectedly: "These guys are really brave! They actually set up an ambush on the way to retreat by the Japanese. How many troops do they have?"

"I don't know very well! The commander of Regiment Song sent someone back to report the news earlier. It seemed that the captain of this special operation team was the captain of this special operation team, with only fifty or sixty men. When they evacuated, they did not see any casualties."

"A strengthening the platoon will kill an artillery position defended by the Japanese squadron. This guy is really powerful. In addition to the troops attacking the Japanese command center, their team should be about one strengthening company.

With this little force, it would be really difficult to stop the Japanese who had made up their minds to break through. I immediately sent a report to General Zhang and inform him of his situation. I ordered the front-line troops to eliminate the Japanese's blocking troops at all costs.

These damn Japanese devils have been besieging us for so long and want to run away now. That's so cheap. Even if they can't be wiped out, I will destroy Itagaki brigade this time so that the old Japanese devil can know what pain is!"

"Yes, the military seat!"

The radio waves of bee bee bee bee bee bee bee bee bee bee to the combat command of the 59th Army. Zhang Zizhong, who arrived on the battlefield a little later than the main force, saw the telegram sent by Pang Bingxun, and sighed: "This special operation team is really not simple!"

"The military throne, the troops who attacked just now, all the Japanese artillery troops were pulled away by the Forty Army. I heard that the guys of the Forty Army also picked up others' advantage. Nearly thirty artillery pieces were enough to form an artillery regiment."

For all the main forces participating in the war, artillery will never be too small. Although they fight side by side, most of them will grab the spoils. When it comes to knowing that the Forty Army has retrieved dozens of artillery pieces, the Fifty-Nine Army is naturally envious.

But Zhang Zizhong still said: "In order to block the Japanese, the Forty Army suffered heavy casualties during this period. Seizing these artillery can also increase their strength. We are in cooperation with the battle and will still return to Taierzhuang later.

If we can eliminate these enemies in front of us, our pressure will be reduced a lot. We are all our brothers, so don’t be too stingy. Order the front line troops to encircle me in a roundabout way, and rush ahead of the Forty Army to reinforce the special operation team on the Linju Highway.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese will want to break through in a short time, but I am afraid there is no possibility. If we can arrive in time, we can take a bite. When the Japanese retreated, they must have brought a lot of supplies, so don’t let those supplies go!”

This is said not to be petty, but here it still gives a dead order to bite fat in front of the Forty Army. The officers of the command center naturally would not think there was anything wrong with Zhang Zizhong's order.

On the contrary, many officers think that this should be done. Compared with Chiang Kai-shek's direct troops, the weapons, equipment and supplies of the Northwest Army are often urgently needed. Seizing the battlefield is also very important.

With weapons and ammunition, you can expand your strength, and with strength, you can fight tough battles with the Japanese. How could they miss such a good opportunity? For a time, the troops of the 59th Army attacked also accelerated the pace of the attack.

Even one of the main forces, after receiving the order from Zhang Zizhong, immediately left the battlefield and circled around and rushed to the Linju Highway, preparing to cooperate with Hu Biao and his party to block the attack there, and to damage the main force of the Japanese infantry brigade as much as possible.

The Japanese army, who were left behind and were ordered to block and fight for the breakout time for the main force, had few opportunities to break out of the siege. In addition, the main force evacuated, the remaining troops were also trapped in the heavy encirclement of the defenders.

Although the main force of the brigade that had been assembled was unwilling to evacuate, the brigade commander was seriously injured, the two regiment commanders were shattered, and the remaining infantry captains could not command so many troops, so they could only retreat to Ju County first.

Although there were a lot of losses in this battle, as long as the remaining troops were brought back, the captains would not be punished. What really made these captains a headache was that the radio stations carried by the brigade were destroyed.

Even if there is a backup radio station, the radio operators died in the night attack. They were unable to contact the division, so they could only withdraw their troops to Ju County first. As long as the remaining troops were saved, the infantry brigade would not suffer too much loss.

Lie in the blocking trenches built by the ambush point, looking at the sound of horse hooves in front of him, Hu Biao said with a little surprise: "Well, why are the Japanese cavalrymen taking the lead? Let these cavalry go over and don't do it first!"

From the information we detected earlier, Hu Biao knew that the infantry brigade was equipped with a cavalry squadron. This cavalry squadron was more engaged in battlefield reconnaissance and support tasks. In the north, cavalry could still be used.

In contrast, many battlefields in the south are not suitable for cavalry. Thinking of staying in Linyi for a while, Hu Biao felt it was necessary to build some war horses. Even if he did not form a cavalry, the war horses would be able to transfer faster.

The Japanese cavalry responsible for reconnaissance went forward and looked around carefully after entering the ambush area. Even though many cavalrymen had flashlights, they still couldn't see too far at night. Under such gaze conditions, they naturally could not find the lurking spy company.

The spy company that built fortifications one night in advance disguised the fortifications when they arrived tonight. If it was daytime, some clues might be seen. At night, this kind of reconnaissance on horseback was almost useless.

Not long after the cavalry passed, Hu Biao and his party lying in the trenches finally heard the sound of the engine of the armored vehicle. Looking at the row of lights, Xu Sandao couldn't help but grin and said, "Captain, look at this Japanese devils, there are many people!"

"It's okay! We occupy tangible terrain and have sufficient weapons and ammunition. If the Japanese want to break out of the encirclement, they must pay a heavy price. Notify the blasting team and wait for my order. After the explosion, the firepower will be fully opened!"

"Yes, captain!"
