In any case, although Wang Zhengyi's command authority was limited, there was no problem in opening a gap for them to pass through the blockade.

Zhang Yunfei successfully led his troops to the front line of the Xinqing Highway. Zhang Yunfei believed that as the Japanese and puppet troops moved forward in their sweep, he would definitely be able to find fighter planes behind them.

The Eighth Route Army was very experienced in dealing with this kind of blockade and sweep by the Japanese and puppet troops. Even if their blockade was so tight, it would be impossible to completely wipe out the well-disciplined Eighth Route Army.

Even if it doesn't work, they can be broken into pieces and dispersed to break out, which will result in more casualties at best.

Now, although they have safely jumped to the periphery, the anti-Japanese people in the entire area are still surrounded by the enemy. Their organization is much looser, and it is more difficult to avoid the Japanese and puppet troops' raids.

They could not abandon the anti-Japanese people and run away. They had to contain them on the periphery. After all, the main target of the Japanese and puppet troops' raids was still them. As long as they took action, the Japanese forces would be mobilized.

Just like the last time they attacked the Japanese and puppet army's transport team and Dalue, most of the Japanese and puppet army's forces were mobilized. The Eighth Route Army's counter-mopping tactics were to attack the enemy's weak points.

However, this time the Japanese and puppet troops paid great attention to protecting their rear supply lines. At least they found no fighter planes on the supply transportation line from Xinqing Highway to Zhujiacun.

Therefore, Zhang Yunfei had to look for fighter planes further downstream. He could only look for fighter planes along the Xinqing Highway and prepare to ambush the Japanese and puppet army transport convoys.

If they really can't find an opportunity, they will attack Fudian again. That place was attacked and destroyed by them before, although it has been repaired by the Japanese.

However, there is always an opportunity for temporary repairs to be complete.

Of course, this is just his backup plan. Their best plan is to attack the puppet troops or transportation troops on the periphery. The risk of attacking fortification strongholds is still too high.

Thousands of people went into the mountains to sweep up, and a huge amount of supplies were consumed every day. Zhang Yunfei did not believe that their entire transportation line was protected very tightly.

The transportation of the mopping up troops this time was divided into two parts. They were transported by Japanese trucks on the Xinqing section to Fudi, and then transferred to the front line by horse carriages or pack horses.

Since the Japanese and puppet troops were on heightened alert along the route to the front, Zhang Yunfei could only choose the Japanese transport convoy on the Xinqing Highway.

The hard work paid off. Zhang Yunfei, who was ambushing on the side of the Xinqing Highway, saw Tiedan running over excitedly, panting and reporting to him: "Batalion Commander, we discovered the Japanese convoy, they are..."

Zhang Yunfei quickly picked up a telescope and looked eastward along the road...nothing was observed.

Tiedan, who had regained his breath, continued: "...Come from the west."

Zhang Yunfei: "..."

This guy, mid-sentence, Zhang Yunfei stared at him dissatisfied, then turned to the west to observe, and saw a convoy of more than ten military trucks driving from the west of the highway. The trucks were all covered tightly with canvas. From the outside

I don't even know if it's empty or if it's loaded with something.

"This should be the return car, shall we fight?" Tiedan asked beside him.

Zhang Yunfei also felt very worried, just as Tiedan judged, this should be the return vehicle for the Japanese to transport supplies.

In other words, this fucking convoy is empty. Although their strategic purpose in this battle is not to grab things, it is not cost-effective to engage in such a big battle with an empty convoy.

Life in the Eighth Route Army was hard, and every battle had to be calculated carefully. Fighting an empty convoy would undoubtedly be a loss-making business.

But seeing this situation, the Japanese had just finished delivering supplies to the convoy ahead, which meant that the next time would have to be at least three or four days later.

After another three or four days, the day lilies will have cooled down, and the base area is in the midst of a flood. They urgently need to mobilize the Japanese and puppet troops' mopping up troops, or at the very least, some of them.

Zhang Yunfei had a headache. Although his third battalion now had sufficient ammunition, it was not brought by the strong wind. It was obtained at the cost of hundreds of soldier casualties.

Now it's so wasteful, it makes me heartbroken just thinking about it, it's really a dilemma.

"Order all troops to prepare for battle." After thinking for a while, Zhang Yunfei made a decision.

Even if it is a loss-making transaction, it can only be done. They don't have time to waste it here.

Once he was determined, there was nothing to hesitate about. Zhang Yunfei hurried to a small high ground on the side of the road, raised his binoculars and looked at the approaching motorcade in the distance.

Seeing the convoy becoming clearer and clearer in the camera, Zhang Yunfei put down the telescope in his hand and immediately ordered everyone to prepare for battle.

Zhang Yunfei commanded the troops to ambush directly along the ditch along the highway.

Li Dayandai, in accordance with Zhang Yunfei's request, carried the only 92 heavy machine gun and hid it on a small high ground a hundred meters away from the road. At the same time, the grenade in his hand was pointed at the approaching convoy.

His firepower platoon is the only important firepower point of his third battalion.

According to Zhang Yunfei's deployment, after the Japanese convoy completed the ambush circle, they simultaneously launched an attack on the final vehicle of the convoy. Li Dayandai's task was to add a few grenades to the vehicle, which must make the Japanese convoy lose its mobility.

After all, they don't have enough wheels left to run on two legs, and they won't be able to stop the enemy's truck until then. The so-called ambush is a joke.

When the two trucks gradually approached, Zhang Yunfei felt that he had made a mistake in his judgment. It seemed that the truck was not empty. The roar of the engine of the truck at this time was definitely different from that of the empty truck and that of the heavy truck.

In other words, his initial judgment was wrong. This convoy was not a convoy to clean up troops and transport materials.

But I can't care about that now. After all, it's true that these guys are Japs. Let's fight. Now that the order has been issued and all the ambush points are ready for attack, how can we just retreat?

When all the Japanese convoys entered the ambush circle, they quietly targeted the Japanese driver in the cab of the first car. In this kind of surprise attack, it was not Zhang Yunfei who launched the attack.

Zhang Yunfei left it to Tiedan to control the timing of his attack. After all, his marksmanship was accurate and the first shot could produce some miraculous results.

"Pa..." a gunshot sounded.

The bullet hit the left front tire where the Jag was stuck, causing the Jag's driver to brake suddenly.

There was a gunshot, and the Japs driver who hurriedly stepped on the brakes looked at the bullet holes in the windshield in astonishment, and hesitated as ice and broken particles spread outward along the bullet holes.

Then he looked down at the bleeding hole on his chest, then tilted his head and fell directly into the cab.
Chapter completed!
