Even though Major Fujita was killed, he could not have thought that the main force of the Eighth Route Army reported to the county garrison was only two platoons of the guerrillas in Donghui Town.

Not to mention the two days before Zhou Cheng and deputy instructor Tang Yufeng divided the troops.

Tonight is the last moment of this agreement.

Tang Yufeng didn't know if the captain could do what he said, so he spent two days to force the Japanese to divide the troops.

But as a comrade-in-arms, he would choose to trust the captain without hesitation until the last moment.

After dark, the infantry linemen took turns to fight, attacking the Japanese as they did last night while staring at their base.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the Japanese who reinforced Zhangzhuang Town were discovered by guerrillas as soon as they left their base.

"That's great, the captain really did it!" The second row of the guerrillas hid in a bush. Deputy instructor Tang Yufeng shouted excitedly when he heard the news of the Japanese splitting the troops. His nerves that had been tense for two days also sootheed.

The more than 200 Japanese who are encircling themselves are too difficult to deal with. The troops are divided into three groups to form a blockade line, advancing horizontally, and compressing the living space of the guerrillas bit by bit.

Because the three encirclement and suppression troops were only five hundred meters away from each other, no matter which unit was attacked, friendly and neighboring troops could complete roundabout encirclement within two minutes, leaving the guerrillas involved in the sneak attack unable to escape.

When the two sides first started to contact, half of the squad was lost in just one raid of the guerrillas. He was heartbroken and decisively gave up the way of concentrating his troops to raid the Japanese.

Disperse the troops as much as possible, and form two or three people in groups, cooperate with the thunder to attack the Japanese from a long distance, and run away after fighting, and never fight.

The casualties of the troops were indeed much smaller when fighting the Japanese in this way, but because the attack distance was too far and the Japanese were cunning, it was difficult for the soldiers to hit the target, and the results of the war were pitifully low.

As for the capture, it was almost zero because there was no way to fight an annihilation war.

After two days, no more than twenty Japanese were killed and injured by the guerrillas. This casualties could not shake their determination to continue to encircle and suppress the guerrillas.

There is another problem.

During the two-day battle, the troops did not seize any of the bullets and grenades issued before the division of troops were only released and they did not enter. No matter how rich the guerrillas had, they could not withstand such unlimited consumption.

Tonight, each rifleman has twenty bullets, a grenade or grenade left. If the troops continue to attack the Japanese in the same way as before two days, this ammunition is only enough for everyone to hold on for another day.

Some people may say: Since the sneak attack on the Japanese consumes ammunition so much and there is no result in any battle, then I won’t fight anymore. Just take the Japanese to circle the mountains.

At first, Tang Yufeng wanted to do this, but it didn't work at all.

The blockade line for the Japanese army to encircle and suppress the guerrillas was more than 1,000 meters wide, and no matter how fast the guerrillas ran, they were within their attack range.

If they do not attack them all the way and slow their attack speed through sneak attacks, it only takes two days for the Japanese army to chase them and sweep Jinshan, and the guerrillas will be forced out of Jinshan.

The superiority of troops and firepower are in the hands of the Japanese. If there is no cover of the mountains, the Japanese army can destroy the guerrillas in minutes.

In order to slow down the Japanese attack speed and stay in the mountains for longer, and give the regiment commander more time. Even if he knew that the loss of the sneak attack was not proportional to the results of the battle, Tang Yufeng had to carry out the sneak attack to the end.

Fortunately, the regiment commander forced the Japanese to divide their troops tonight. If they were two days later, the guerrillas would be exhausted from ammunition and food, and were chased by the Japanese army, and had no strength to fight back. Then they were driven out of Jinshan and gathered to annihilate them.

Tang Yufeng became happier the more he thought about it, and he quickly asked: "How many people have the Japanese retreated, and how many troops are left in the mountains?"

Li Yifang, the second platoon leader, replied: "The Japanese left and right, there were nearly thirty people walking along the middle, and more than thirty people walked on both sides. There were at most 150 people left in the mountain!"

Tang Yufeng thought for a moment and shook his head: "Not so much."

"When the Japanese divided their troops to encircle us, there were indeed more than 250 reinforcement teams in the Japanese, but there must be twenty Japanese who killed and injured in the past two days. If the Japanese really divided nearly a hundred people, then there would be only more than 130 Japanese left."

"They swept our defense line by 1,500 meters, which is equivalent to every Japanese who stayed must be responsible for more than ten meters wide defense line."

"There were many Japanese people two days ago, and five people were in groups, and they surrounded us 50 meters apart."

"Now the troops are almost half reduced. If you add five people to a group and reduce the mobile troops left by each reinforcement team, you must be at least one hundred meters away from the group to line up the entire line of defense."

"If you are outside the mountain, the distance between 100 meters and 50 meters is almost no different. The Japanese can see the nearby mobilization troops at a glance and see clearly the middle."

"But this is a mountainous land with a complex terrain. There are too many places to hide people between one hundred meters. As long as everyone hides, they will definitely be able to get behind the Japanese and let their next encirclement and pounce on the air!"

"Platform Commander Li, tonight, like yesterday, three infantry liners took turns to continue harassing the Japanese and letting them rest awkwardly."

"Other soldiers hurry up and rest and keep their spirits up. We will walk through the Japanese blockade line tomorrow."

In Zengtou Village, Zhangzhuang Town, Zhou Cheng led the guard platoon and half of the fire platoon to take down the big traitor in the village.

The soldiers were divided into two parts, some were cleaning the battlefield and counting the seized, and some mobilized villagers in the village to hold a public trial meeting at the entrance of the village, and executed the traitor leader in public, and distributed part of the seized finance to the villagers, winning the hearts of the people and expanding the influence of the guerrillas in pacifying.

Zhou Cheng was not idle either. Traitors and evil gentry in this era liked to build cellars and secret rooms at home to hide money. What he did now was to find the secret room by interrogating prisoners, and take the money and ointment that the other party had collected from the people and use it for the people.

"Captain, we have found it!" Liang Hongjiang ran over with excitement.

"A secret lattice was built under the bed, and two large boxes were placed inside. The glory and ocean were more than 300 yuan, and there were also a lot of gold and silver jewelry. By the way, there were also a hundred pistol bullets for box cannons inside!"

Zhou Cheng was very satisfied with the order: "Good job!"

"All the seized finances are registered and sealed. After the battle is over, they will be brought back to the garrison and handed over to the deputy instructor. A thousand kilograms of fine grain are left in the grain, and the others are all for the villagers in the village. The pork, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep seized in the kitchen are also sealed for the soldiers. After the battle is over, they will be taken back to the base to build a breeding farm. We will raise pigs, sheep, and chickens and ducks by ourselves."

A drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water.

No matter at any time, the Chinese are very grateful.

Faced with the food distributed to him by the guerrillas, everyone remembered the guerrillas in Donghui Town, and looked forward to repaying them one day.

Before the distribution of the food was over, the four young men secretly found Zhou Cheng and wanted to join the guerrillas to fight the Japanese.

After confirming that they were not the only sons and had hatred with the Japanese, Zhou Cheng accepted them without hesitation.

He had a premonition that the guerrillas would definitely suffer heavy casualties in this anti-sweeping campaign, and a large number of new recruits would definitely need to supplement the troops. Now someone takes the initiative to deliver them to the door, so Zhou Cheng will of course not refuse.
