Even if they are fully prepared, it will not be easy to capture this group of Japanese and puppet troops. They must also detach part of their troops to block reinforcements.

Zhang Yunfei sent the Ninth Company, which was less powerful, to block Japanese and puppet reinforcements that might attack from Dalue.

Their strength is only 400 people. It is not easy to annihilate this group of Japanese and puppet troops in a short time. Now he only has two organic companies in his hands. Once the war reaches a stalemate, the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops will attack as quickly as possible.

If you get there, there might really be a big problem.

Now we can only hope that Wang Zhengyi can hold back his own river-blocking camp, otherwise it will be really troublesome if they come too.

Watching the Japanese and puppet army transport convoy slowly approaching in the telescope, Zhang Yunfei also hesitated and gave the order himself. Good or bad luck was unpredictable.

"Lao Zhang, the enemy has too many troops. Our troops do not have an absolute advantage. Once the war reaches a stalemate, the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops will quickly surround us. This is a very bad situation for us."

Yang Junjie made a speech and reminded.

"Yes!" Zhang Yunfei nodded as he received the reminder from his instructor.

His own instructor had a serious lack of experience in the front-line troops, but he did things appropriately and he did not try to interfere with Zhang Yunfei's determination.

Zhang Yunfei appreciates this the most. Many people always like to interfere with others and impose their own thoughts on others. They only remind others from the side.

"Lao Yang, in this situation, we have to fight, otherwise the situation will be even more difficult. If we don't eat the other side, our situation will become more passive. Even taking a little risk is worth it."

It's one thing to know the enemy's movements and soldiers, but it's another thing to meet them face to face. Seeing so many enemies made his confidence somewhat shaken, but Yang Junjie's reminder made Zhang Yunfei determined.

Now they have no way out and will only become more and more passive.

Zhang Yunfei raised his telescope again and looked at the Japanese and puppet army transport team that was slowly walking into the ambush circle. He said to Li Ergou beside him: "Tell Captain He and Captain Sun to let go of the scouts in front and concentrate all firepower."

Attack their brigade, and tell Li Dayandian not to save ammunition for me, but to fight to death, leaving us only a limited time to destroy the enemy."

After Li Ergou hurriedly ran to notify He Jicheng, Sun Zhiqiang, Li Dayandai and others, Zhang Yunfei said to Tiedan not far away: "Tiedan, when the battle starts, you will aim at the puppet army's machine gunners for me, and give me

Hit them hard, others will let their machine guns go off, this time we will win with firepower."

After giving orders to Tiedan, he raised his telescope to observe the ambush positions of the two companies to make sure there were no more mistakes.

In the first round of sudden attacks, they must kill as many enemies as possible, which is directly related to the success or failure of the next battle.

A squad of ten puppet scouts walked at the front of the team, and the Japanese and puppet troops that followed also spread out their formations. They slowly walked into the ambush circle of the third battalion.

The entire team spread out in a defensive formation with the baggage carriage as the center. Although the Japanese and puppet troops in this team were very lax, they could not even forget the most basic marching rules. It was impossible for them to be crowded together like a swarm of swarms.

in reality.

Seeing the opponent gradually entering the ambush circle, Zhang Yunfei knew that there was no way out, so he finally raised his shell gun and gave the signal to fire.

Following Zhang Yunfei's gunshot, the road connecting Xinqing Highway rang out with dense gunfire. The Seventh Company and the Eighth Company concentrated all their light machine guns and rifles, and the heavy machine guns and two heavy machine guns of Li Dayandai's fire squad

Under the cover of light machine guns, they fired fiercely at the Japanese and puppet troop transport convoy.

The whistling bullets and intensive firepower greeted the Japanese and puppet troops.

Although the Japanese and puppet troops marched in a very wide formation, and although the team was not very vigilant, they were not defenseless. At least the defensive formations were adequate.

However, the first round of intensive heavy machine gun firepower from Zhang Yunfei's unit, which was not stingy with bullets, still knocked down twenty or thirty puppet troops in the first wave of attacks.

Although they encountered a sudden attack, the puppet troops in front of them did not panic much. Instead, they each looked for hiding places and began to counterattack towards the ambush position of the third battalion. They also began to organize small groups of troops to carry out counterattacks in an attempt to defeat the besieging and ambush Eighth Route Army.

The puppet army sometimes still has combat effectiveness, but when their ranks are mixed with Japanese commanders, their combat effectiveness immediately changes.

Suffering a sudden blow, their reaction and response were good, but this was not a good thing for Zhang Yunfei's third battalion.

The puppet army is not scattered and has an organized counterattack, which makes it even more difficult to deal with. They will need to spend more energy and time if they want to defeat this group of enemies.

Facing the puppet troops who launched a counter-charge under the command of the Japanese, Li Dayandai's grenade fired directly, and the grenades accurately landed on the puppet army's position. Coupled with the blockade and suppression of the machine guns, the counter-charge was suppressed.

The puppet troops rushed back to the road.

The heavy machine guns began to fire at the puppet troops who were driven back to the road. With their firepower, it was not easy to suppress the enemy's firepower against the Japanese ambush.

But it is much easier for this group of puppet troops, but this will not last long. If they were not in urgent need to capture the opponent as soon as possible, they would not use ammunition so wantonly.

There is no fixed supply. If the ammunition cannot be captured, their ammunition will be one less. This is the Eighth Route Army's fatal flaw.

Moreover, the Japs are very tenacious in fighting, and it is not easy to capture their ammunition and weapons. Defeated Japs have a tradition of destroying their own weapons.

Therefore, in many cases, when fighting against the Japanese, they usually consume more than they capture. In order to make up for the ammunition gap in this area, the Eighth Route Army often has to make up for it from the puppet troops.

This is why there is a saying that the Eighth Route Army likes to cause trouble for the puppet troops. This is all forced by the special environment.

In fact, if the Japanese wanted to organize one, they would need more or less little money, and they would not need any money or salary. The most the Japanese could do was to provide some captured weapons and ammunition from the Chinese army.

Therefore, killing the puppet troops actually does not achieve much in weakening the enemy's strength. At most, it can only obtain some supplies of guns and ammunition.

Zhang Yunfei doesn't like hand-to-hand combat. This was the case with the Pingchuan detachment in the past, and the same is true with the current Third Battalion. A hand-to-hand combat with skilled Japanese soldiers is basically a lose-lose battle.

Moreover, the Japs' 38-gauge gun body and long bayonet are often too advantageous in hand-to-hand combat.

Although hand-to-hand combat is the most important training subject in their team, Zhang Yunfei would not easily engage in hand-to-hand combat with Japanese soldiers whenever possible.

So even if they were fighting against puppet troops now, Zhang Yunfei would give priority to suppressing them with firepower.

Of course, they can only gain some advantage in firepower by fighting against the puppet troops, so there is no need for hand-to-hand combat.

Moreover, the puppet troops did not have grenades, mortars and other weapons that were a great threat to light and heavy machine guns, so they opened fire even more unscrupulously.

Suppressing the opponent's rapid shooting with firepower has always been the exclusive property of the Japanese. Now that they have such an opportunity, they will naturally not let go of this opportunity to beat the drowned dog.

People's habits are very scary. The Japanese attack has always been in the form of a tactical group, opening up a skirmish line to attack. This kind of tactical group must be closely connected with rifles, machine guns, grenade launchers, and even rifles behind them.

.

Now, the Japs are driving the puppet troops to attack in a tactical group formation. Unfortunately, the puppet troops are not Japs, and they do not have the skillful coordination ability and various light and heavy fire support.

This set of tactics they came up with is a bit nondescript. Although it is effective, it is far behind when compared with the real Japanese.

The key point is that the puppet troops do not have heavy firepower, and their marksmanship is also very poor. Once they are dispersed in small groups, it will be a bit of a trap.

Once the firepower intensity drops, it becomes really difficult to hit anyone.

The reason why the Eighth Route Army likes to fire volleys of guns is not because they like it, but because their marksmanship is too poor. Only dense volleys of guns have a probability. If they hit an area, they can also blind the enemy.

The puppet army's marksmanship is about the same as that of the Eighth Route Army. Their method of fighting in dispersed groups is a clever tactic against the Japanese whose marksmanship is very effective, but against the puppet soldiers whose marksmanship is extremely bad, it is absolutely terrible.

Tactics.

The most important thing in war is to preserve oneself and attack the enemy. With this method of scattering skirmishers in small groups, the survivability is lost and the attack power is weak.

The puppet army itself was suddenly ambushed, and its equipment and firepower were not as good as those of the Eighth Route Army. Now that they used such poor tactics, their decline became even more obvious.

This group of puppet troops only had three machine guns, but their machine guns could not be used at all. Tiedan's reconnaissance platoon and Li Dayantai's grenade were all staring at them.

As long as the puppet army's machine gun fires, grenades or bullets will always arrive as promised. Now the puppet army's machine gun is like a death curse, whoever touches it will die.

The puppet army simply exposed its shortcomings. They completely suppressed the opponent, and the puppet army's counterattack did not pose much threat at all.

The Japanese commanding the puppet troops were also a little confused. They couldn't understand how the situation could become like this. It was easy for the troops to disperse at first, but it was not so easy to gather them again amid the hail of bullets.

With their scattered tactics, under the advantage of the opponent's superior firepower, they were able to engage in counterattacks with the Eighth Route Army after being called out. However, now they are unable to organize any counterattacks and can only be suppressed and passively beaten on the road.

One of the puppet army's three light machine guns had been destroyed, and the other two were suppressed by the machine guns and grenade launchers commanded by Li Dayandai and could only fight back sporadicly.

Moreover, under the careful care of Tiedan's reconnaissance platoon, the machine gunners were replaced one after another. Now no one dared to take over the puppet troops. The machine gun was directly thrown aside, and the puppet troops stayed far away from it.

, this is too depressing, whoever gets close to it will die.

The transport team of the Japanese and puppet troops had no power to counterattack. Zhang Yunfei took control of the battlefield initiative here. They suppressed the Japanese and puppet troops on the road and could not move.

They suppressed the Japanese and puppet army's transport team, but these guys relied on their hiding spots and still fought back tenaciously while lying on the ground.

This group of puppet troops has been suppressed and commanded by the Japanese. It has really changed. Even though they have reached this point, they still have not collapsed.

Of course, they were able to hold on not only because of the threat and command of the Japanese, but also because they believed that as long as they held on for a while longer, reinforcements would arrive soon.

The puppet army is looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements, but Zhang Yunfei, who has the initiative in the battle, is very anxious. Every minute of delay now, the battle situation may change.

As the saying goes, whatever you worry about will happen, but the battlefield situation around him happened very quickly. Although he had been mentally prepared, the change in the battle situation still surprised him.

They were laying siege to the transport team. In the surrounding area, there was intensive gunfire from the direction of Dalue. It must be that the Ninth Company was fighting the opponent's reinforcements.

The sound of gunfire from Dalue clearly told Zhang Yunfei that there was not much time left for them to deal with the enemy they faced.

Unlike the transport convoys, the incoming reinforcements did not have much light or heavy firepower. Judging from the intensity of the gunfire, the intensity of the attack on the Ninth Company was not light.

The sound of gunfire was a bit unusual. According to the intelligence collected by Zhang Yunfei and the intelligence sent by Wang Zhengyi through Zhang Dadai, there were about two companies of troops stationed in Da Le, and there was also a mortar.

The puppet army is also different from the puppet army. Some Kuomintang troops who have formally surrendered to the Japanese have no shortage of light and heavy machine guns, and they even have mountain cannons and other weapons.

The puppet army in Xincheng was formed by local civilians, and its firepower configuration was one level lower. They didn't even have heavy machine guns, but they at least got two mortars to decorate their appearance.

At least in the firepower configuration table of the Eighth Route Army or the Japanese, the status of mortars is equivalent to that of heavy machine guns.

But now the gunfire came from the direction of Dalue, and Zhang Yunfei heard the explosion of artillery shells mixed with it.

The Ninth Company itself is composed of recruits and guerrillas. Now they are facing several times the enemy's attack. Zhang Yunfei doesn't know how long they can hold on.

He then looked at the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in front of him who were resisting tenaciously by relying on the bunkers supported by the terrain.

There isn't much time left for him now, and he can't waste it away so slowly.

Zhang Yunfei had no choice but to bite the bullet and ordered everyone to launch a full-scale attack.

Regardless of the consumption of ammunition, the light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers of Li's Yandang platoon began to suppress firepower desperately to clear the way for everyone to charge and reduce the casualties of the charge.

Although Zhang Yunfei hates hand-to-hand combat, many battles at this time end in hand-to-hand combat. Now he needs to solve the problem urgently.

In order to spare his troops to take over the situation, he couldn't care about anything else now, and the amount of ammunition they consumed in positional warfare was too much for him to bear. If he hadn't known that ammunition could be replenished in the transport team, he wouldn't have dared to play like this.

You must know that their ammunition reserves are now at their lowest, and most of the soldiers are out of bullets.
