This is an inexplicable battle, and the commanders on all sides are fighting this battle with doubts, bewilderment, and unspeakable depression.

The Japanese second lieutenant who fought Zhang Yunfei was depressed. He had an encounter with the Eighth Route Army for no reason. He would have recognized it if it was in the deep mountains and old forests, but the key point was not far away from the stronghold established by their imperial army.

He was confused, what on earth were these gangs of gangs doing, blocking the road so blatantly, what difference did it make if they blocked the door? These gangs of gangs were already so arrogant, weren't they looking for death?

But what made him even more depressed was that they were fighting lively here, but the defenders stationed here didn't come to support them at all, and then there were crackling gunfire sounds from the direction of the stronghold, which made him even more confused.

What do you mean, we have a party, we fight here, and they fight too.

However, the Japanese second lieutenant came to his senses. This was the Eighth Route Army that was about to attack the city, and he was hit by him. In other words, he blocked the gunfire for the guys in the stronghold.

Come on, don't count on reinforcements. Now you and others are considered reinforcements. The war situation is urgent and it is your duty to join the battle. However, being inexplicably involved in the battle still makes him depressed.

The Eighth Route Army's siege operations were carried out by large forces. Their unit was just a material escort unit, and it was only a small team.

They are not a large army passing through the border, so there is no need to go to great lengths to alert the local garrison. When they arrive at the checkpoints along the route, they only need to show their documents.

They were traveling at night to get to the Xingzhuang stronghold to rest, but Zhang Yunfei and the others happened to go around Xingzhuang from the side.

Both sides had the same goal and should have moved in the same direction. The Japanese marched from north to south, while Zhang Yunfei's troops circled from the south to the north.

If they go faster, the Japs will follow them; if they go slower, they will go behind the Japs.

But the timing was so coincidental, the timing was just right, and they met face to face with this group of devils.

Although this situation is better than the first one, it is not much better. If they cannot quickly deal with the enemy in front of them and the enemies of Xingzhuang come out to support them, they will also suffer from the situation of being attacked from both sides.

However, the sound of gunfire from Xingzhuang made Zhang Yunfei realize that the Third Battalion of the New Second Regiment was fighting against the opponent.

It was estimated that the enemy would not have reinforcements coming for a while, but what made him depressed was that with such a attack by the Third Battalion of the New Second Regiment, the purpose of attracting firepower was achieved.

But what is depressing is that they have not reached the planned attack location at all, and they are not attacking Xingzhuang at all. So now Lao Wang and the others are under a lot of pressure. Zhang Yunfei is a little worried that they will be attacked by the Japanese and puppet troops in the Xingzhuang stronghold.

It was shattered.

It has to be said that the new Second Regiment and Third Battalion really have problems everywhere. There is obviously something going on on their side, but they still act stubbornly according to the original plan.

It did reduce the pressure on their side and avoid being attacked from both sides, but they themselves were in a critical situation. This was no longer a matter of falling into the ditch, but jumping into the ditch themselves.

Zhang Yunfei was worried about the situation on Lao Wang's side, but the battle on their side was extremely smooth. Although the resistance of this group of Japs was very tenacious, the number of Japs must be limited.

In terms of numbers, they had more than ten times the advantage, and they responded to the battle in a hurry, without even the simplest trench fortifications. No matter how capable the little devil was, they would not be able to withstand it.

Seeing that they were defeated, the little devils immediately protected the carriage they were carrying and retreated towards Xingzhuang, which aroused Zhang Yunfei's interest.

At this time, the little devil is still guarding the cumbersome carriage. I can only say that it is very important. If it is an ordinary material, it will be lost.

Originally, in order to reduce casualties and end the battle as soon as possible, Zhang Yunfei did not intend to wipe out all the little Japanese.

These little devils are really cruel, not only to others but also to themselves. If they are pushed too hard, they will really risk their lives.

The so-called fear of being violent is life-threatening. In that case, it will take more time to completely annihilate the opponent and end the battle.

But what he lacks most now is time. The strength of the Third Battalion of the New Second Regiment is not very good, and another company has been transferred out by himself.

It was really difficult for them to face the Japanese and puppet troops in Xingzhuang alone.

Regardless of whether he can annihilate all the Japs he faces, now he has a single line with Lao Wang and the others and they have been annihilated by the Japanese and puppet troops.

Normally, even if you put in more effort, you still have to kill the opponent, but now you just need to defeat the opponent.

However, when he saw that the little Jaap was desperately trying to protect the carriage, he immediately changed his main force and directly ordered the troops to launch a frontline charge.

His tactical intention is very simple, which is to use the numerical advantage to directly kill the little devils.

Now that their tactical intentions have been exposed, it has become impossible for them to sneak attack the Xingzhuang stronghold. The enemy they saw may be their only result of this battle.

But I was afraid that Lao Wang and the others wouldn't be able to bear it, so they could only eat two bites of the bone stick in their mouths in a hurry. However, I thought there wasn't much meat, so it wouldn't be a pity not to be able to swallow it all.

But now it seems that this Japanese army of only fifty or sixty people may really be a piece of fat meat. There is no need to say that it must be swallowed up.

Although Zhang Yunfei was determined to deal with this Japanese army, he did not relax his vigilance in other directions.

After launching the charge here, he immediately deployed the reconnaissance platoon in his hands and the company temporarily under his command from the third battalion of the new second regiment to the south in the direction of Xingzhuang.

He was also quite puzzled. They were fighting so fiercely here. No matter how deaf or blind the Japanese were, they should have known that they would not send reinforcements.

They said they were held back by Lao Wang and the others. No one believed this. Their entire battalion was being chased by the Japanese and puppet troops here. How could they suddenly explode when they were short of troops?

Get rid of all the Japanese and puppet troops.

Lao Wang is really unreliable. Isn't it nonsense to say how powerful the Japanese and puppet troops are in this place? His reaction speed is much slower than that of most Japanese troops.

At this point, Zhang Yunfei really wrongly blamed Lao Wang, but their unexpected encounter, although it disrupted their deployment arrangements, also confused the Japanese commander.

This battlefield situation that was inconsistent with convention and logic made the Japanese commander suspect that this was a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

But the real goal was to attack the Xingzhuang stronghold, and the subsequent actions of Lao Wang's New Second Regiment and Third Battalion also confirmed his speculation.

His guess about the real target that the Eighth Route Army was going to attack was completely correct, but he guessed wrong about the actual direction of attack.
