"Also, who told you that we must fight this battle? If more Japanese people come by then, we can retreat. If there are fewer people coming, we will give him one more person. I am not stubborn.

We must fight this battle, no matter how many enemies come, we will not suffer any loss."

Sister Jia thought that she would run away when facing the Japanese, and Tiedan thought that she would fight tooth and nail when seeing the Japanese. Zhang Yunfei was confused, who are these people?

Fight if you can. Isn't this the guerrilla program of the Eighth Route Army? You have to break it down to see how it goes.

"If there is a fight with the Japs, you will show me your best skills. You will kill the opponent's grenade launchers as soon as possible. If there is a chance, try to kill the Japs' light and heavy machine gunners as well."

In Zhang Yunfei's eyes, the Japs' grenadier soldiers were the biggest threat. Their accuracy was so good that they were too much of a threat to the Eighth Route Army, which had limited firepower.

On the contrary, for light and heavy machine gunners, the attack order can be lowered. Of course, this does not mean that the threat on the battlefield is not great, but the machine gun itself does not pursue accuracy, so the riflemen can make up for it at any time, as long as the machine gun is not broken.

As long as everyone is not dead, someone will continue to operate, so the role of snipers in killing the opponent's machine gunners is not too obvious in actual combat.

This guy's marksmanship is good, but he's a bit arrogant. During the last battle, he helped him clear out the enemies around him. Although it helped him a lot, this behavior itself was full of dangers.

After scolding Tiedan, Zhang Yunfei picked up his telescope and looked at the county town in the distance. Although after analysis, he was sure that the scale of the Japanese raids would not be much higher than last time.

But after all, it was just a guess, and it could not be used as a basis for formulating a tactical plan. As for how many people the Japanese would send, Zhang Yunfei was also a little unsure.

So he decided early on to see if there was an opportunity. If he could fish in troubled waters, then he wouldn't mind taking a part in it, so he had been letting Tiedan's reconnaissance team detect the enemy's movements, and even he himself came here to observe closely.

While Zhang Yunfei was thinking about what the Japs should do next, the Japs in the county seat were also discussing the battle plan.

Among them, there are three assistant officers, the master Ichiro Maeda, the newly arrived Major Yoshi Otsuka, and Lieutenant Colonel Seiichi Ogawa.

Otsuka Yoshi came from the Yamaoka Division, because their unit was sweeping from north to south and would pass through the strategic route of Pingchuan.

Originally Ichiro Maeda wanted to discuss with the troops from his hometown to wipe out the Eighth Route Army that had always been against him. Unfortunately, the troops from the Taniguchi Division swept from west to east and turned directly to the Xinqing area in the southeast, bypassing Pingchuan.

.

In other words, he didn't come to Pingchuan at all, so he naturally had no chance to take advantage of the situation. However, Major Otsuka Yoshi, who was easy to talk to, decided to help him sweep the Pingchuan area.

The reason why Otsuka Yoshi agreed so happily was because he was a little reluctant to go south.

According to the intelligence, this group of Eighth Route Army troops was not very large. His troops were originally encircling and mopping up the main force of the Eighth Route Army, but they were ordered to drop here to wipe out some Eighth Route Army guerrillas.

Moreover, his unit had the farthest distance, just Point 8 Road. By the time he arrived, it would have been annihilated long ago. The Fujimuro commander seemed to know his grievances and ordered him to set up defenses in the Pingchuan area.

To prevent the Eighth Route Army from escaping north, he gladly accepted this order. After all, he would have to travel less than a hundred miles. Maybe after they annihilated the Eighth Route Army group, he could directly send his troops northward, and maybe he could win the fight to besiege the Eighth Route Army's main force.

It's better than trying to grab that little bit of military glory.

Captain Fujimuro issued such an order, naturally not because he cared about their long journey, but mainly because the strength of a brigade of his regiment was defeated by the Eighth Route Army.

Victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers, and this is nothing in itself. But what makes him angry is that this group of Eighth Route Army soldiers is not large, and is equivalent to the strength of his entire brigade.

This made him feel humiliated, so he wanted to tear this group of enemies to pieces with his own hands. Naturally, he was unwilling to do it to others, so he sent a telegram to the other surrounding troops so that they would not be required to join the battle.

The mood of Colonel Fujimuro is understandable. This is a matter of honor, and this face must be given. However, Otsuka Yoshi is quite depressed. He has traveled such a long distance without even seeing the enemy.

At this time, Ichiro Maeda offered to help them clear out a group of Eighth Route Army guerrillas entrenched here. It is said that the combat effectiveness is not bad. Although the number is a little small, the mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are.

When I passed by this place, Ichiro Maeda treated me attentively. As the saying goes, "I have a short hand in taking care of others, I have already lowered my stature and begged for myself. Besides, I was idle. It was just a matter of convenience anyway, so I still had to help with this little favor."

What makes Otsuka Yoshi depressed is that there are still people competing with him for this little job, and Ogawa Seiichi also takes a fancy to this group of Eighth Route guerrillas.

Ogawa Seiichi was defeated badly this time and had to retreat to Hirakawa to rest and replenish. Because it was wartime and their unit was considered independent, Ogawa Seiichi was not removed from his post and is still the commander of this unit.

official.

They seemed to have been defeated miserably in that battle. In fact, most of them were from the logistics unit. The real infantry were fighting at the front, and they were the dominant side. During the defeat, most of them escaped.

.

Therefore, the structure of their unit is still there, and except for a bit of low morale, in fact the combat effectiveness has not weakened much.

Since the military power is still there, he has a chance to stand up. It's okay to perform meritorious service to get rid of his crime, but now that they are in a relatively safe security area, they have no chance to perform meritorious service.

Ogawa Seiichi was very interested in this group of Eighth Route guerrillas proposed by Ichiro Maeda. For him, this was a godsend opportunity.

Although even if he completely annihilated this group of Eighth Route Army, he would not be able to equalize his merits and demerits, but at least he could prove that he was not completely incompetent, and by fighting this group of Eighth Route Army guerrillas, he could also recover a little bit from his warriors.

Fighting spirit and confidence.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is said that this group of Eighth Route Army has been registered in the Northern Front Army. If I really eliminate them, maybe the merits and demerits will be equal to each other, and it may even be a blessing in disguise, and it will not be able to gain attention from the top.

must.

Otsuka Yoshi was very dissatisfied with Ogawa Seiichi's horizontal penetration. Originally, he didn't care much about this incidental task, but when Ogawa Seiichi wanted to take over the job, the nature of it changed.
