Chapter 33
Okazaki was shocked, and his eyes changed when he looked at Zhang Fugui. He didn't expect that he had such insights to learn from others.
The mind is running rapidly to judge how likely this kind of thing is to happen.
A few seconds later, I made a decision in my mind: "Captain Zhang, you are right. We cannot let the Eighth Route Army kill us and take down the Donghui Town stronghold. Then the Imperial Army will suffer too much."
"Although I know that 80% of the time I will be sent to the military court, for the safety of the stronghold, I decided to go back. At least one person must return to the stronghold to report the message: tell them that the entire army of attacking troops will be destroyed and immediately ask for help from the county town. Unless reinforcements come, no one can be placed in the stronghold."
"Retreat immediately, and the remaining people on the battlefield will not care."
"If someone retreats by chance, come directly to join us and withdraw our stronghold together."
Zhang Fugui breathed a sigh of relief: "Sir, wise..."
After saying that, he ordered the only two remaining subordinates around him: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and protect Taijun and withdraw his stronghold."
There was still a guard left by Okazaki, with five people in total, without looking back, running along the mountain road, running faster than a rabbit.
On the battlefield, the situation has completely turned to the village protection team.
The entire Japanese army involved in the attack was destroyed, with more than a dozen puppet troops left, half of whom gave up resistance, knelt on the attack road and raised their hands to surrender, while the remaining half were still running back desperately, hoping to join Zhang Fugui back to the stronghold.
After the war ended here, Zhou Cheng was 100% sure that he had won.
The village protection team entered the mountain half a month ago and had already figured out the terrain of this mountain road. There was almost no possibility that several puppet troops who were beaten to escape from this place.
At this moment, Okazaki, who was about to escape, was targeted by him.
He was wearing a commanding knife and a straight military uniform, which was incompatible with the battlefield. It was so eye-catching that he could tell at a glance that it was a big fish.
Looking around him, Zhang Fugui was wearing a box cannon on his waist and dressed in an officer. Zhou Cheng guessed that they were the Japanese and puppet troops who led the team into the mountains this time.
Now that these few officers are left on the battlefield, Zhou Cheng will definitely not let them slip away from his mouth.
As for taking over the Donghui Town stronghold, he did have this idea.
Someone in the village protection team was injured and needed to get the medicine as soon as possible.
Within a radius of dozens of miles, only the Donghui Town stronghold has Western medicine to treat gunshot wounds, so taking down the stronghold is the most direct way to obtain medicine.
Of course, this is just Zhou Cheng’s idea. Whether it can be realized depends on opportunities.
There are more than 70 Japanese and puppet troops in the Donghui Town stronghold. Not only are there more troops than themselves, but their equipment is better than themselves, but they also have strong fortifications for defense.
There is no foolproof way, Zhou Cheng will never act rashly and use an egg to touch the stone.
Now the opportunity is here.
The battle process is much smoother than the plan, and victory is in sight.
As long as you wipe out all the Japanese and puppet troops entering the mountains, you will have the chance to repeat the same trick and take the Donghui Town stronghold.
Zhou Cheng immediately turned around and shouted to Xiang Feng and Li Yifan: "You two continue to destroy the remaining puppet troops. If you can, you will be captured, and the second squad and the firepower squad stay here to clean the battlefield and guard the prisoners. The first squad marched back to the first blocking position we had just given up and kill the Japanese who were left there together."
"Remember, don't get close to the Japanese when cleaning the battlefield. First, re-shoot them first. Only after confirming that they are not angry can you get close."
After saying that, Zhou Cheng walked over to the mountain road diagonally.
“Bao…”
Several gunshots suddenly came from the bushes next to the mountain road, and one person fell from the five Japanese and puppet troops who were escaping their lives in a flash.
Zhou Cheng saw it very clearly that the person who fell down was Okazaki, the commander of the Japanese army, with a commanding knife on his waist and a turtle box hanging on his body.
As for the person who shot, Zhou Cheng guessed correctly, he should be the sharpshooter group that had been lurking around him.
Those soldiers are all good seedlings for being snipers. Zhou Cheng didn't want to waste them on the front battlefield and consumed the Japanese. He specially arranged a task for them to guerrillas everywhere and freely hunt Japanese Japanese.
After the first sneak attack on the Japanese, Liang Hongjiang planned to attack again.
Unexpectedly, the captain rushed ahead of them and dismantled the Japanese offensive in one battle, turning defeat into victory, and severely hurting the enemy.
Although Liang Hongjiang was a new recruit and did not know any tactics and tactics, he was a good hunter. At the beginning, he treated the Japanese who entered the mountains as prey.
If you encounter this situation while hunting, your prey will definitely run away from your life.
If you want to kill it, you either chase it or go around the path you must pass to intercept it.
The captain was there to pursue him, and it was not his turn to take him to find the only way for the Japanese to retreat, waiting for them to fall into the trap.
After waiting for three minutes, five Japanese arrived as promised.
Liang Hongjiang glanced at Okazaki who was holding a commanding knife at the waist and decided to capture the thief first and attack him first.
Four rifles fired at him at the same time, with a distance of less than fifty meters, so it was difficult not to hit the target.
Lieutenant Okazaki fell to the ground and his life was unknown, and the only remaining Japanese stopped quickly.
He is Okazaki's personal bodyguard, and it is his duty and mission to protect the chief. If Okazaki dies under his nose, he will never be able to escape death if he returns to the stronghold alive.
Zhang Fugui doesn't care about this. He is now determined to escape and leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
Without even turning his head, he led the two guards to continue running back the same way.
“Bah…”
Zhou Cheng beat this shot, and the guards squatting beside Okazaki fell down.
Zhang Fugui ran faster, his whole face was so scared that he was pale. While running, he prayed in his heart that the Eighth Route Army would not focus on him.
“Bao…”
Liang Hongjiang fired the second round of bullets, and still aimed four guns at one target. This time the shot was the guard next to Zhang Fugui who was close to Liang Hongjiang.
Zhang Fugui couldn't hold on anymore, so he knelt on the ground with a plop, and he didn't dare to run away anymore.
When the Eighth Route Army gunshots, someone is shot and falls to the ground. It takes at least one minute to run out of the range of the rifle, which is enough for them to shoot for several rounds. With the gunshot technique they just showed, they will definitely be killed if they continue running.
"Don't shoot, I surrender..."
Zhang Fugui hurriedly raised his hands and shouted loudly at Liang Hongjiang who was hiding in the forest, fearing that their guns would kill him...
"Zhang Fugui, Company Commander Zhang..." Zhou Cheng had a relationship with him and recognized him at a glance.
"Zhou Cheng?" Zhang Fugui stared at Zhou Cheng with wide eyes.
Zhou Cheng no longer conceals: "I am indeed Zhou Cheng, but I am not from the Zhou family, but the Eighth Route Army. You are captured by us!"
Zhang Fugui had guessed this result long ago, and now it has been confirmed. Although he was shocked, he quickly calmed down and was thinking about how to use this to save himself and restore freedom sooner in the future.
