Zhang Yunfei and the others retreated very quickly. By the time Uehara Zhenyi's reinforcements arrived, there was no trace of the Eighth Route Army in the entire Nanguan Town.

All that was left to them was the raging fire, the bodies of the puppet soldiers who were killed in the town, and the puppet soldiers who had been disarmed and tied up.

Regarding these captured puppet soldiers, they were very honest after surrendering, so Zhang Yunfei did not embarrass them, and before leaving, he tied them up thoughtfully, so that they could explain to the Japanese.

Most of these puppet soldiers are locals who don't know much about the Eighth Route Army, and they all have family members.

After this battle, their casualties were not light, and they did not have much favorable impression of the Eighth Route Army. They also had many concerns, so Zhang Yunfei would not be bored and mobilize them to join the Eighth Route Army.

Announcement of Zhang Hongbao's crimes and public execution in front of them is also a kind of shock to scare the monkeys, letting them know that being a traitor will not end well, and don't think that relying on the Japanese will make you lawless.

Even if they continue to be puppet troops in the future, with this deterrent, they can at least restrain themselves, make some calculations, and do less bad things.

Although they had done no harm to the common people, they were not polite to the Japanese military establishment at all, and completely wiped out the headquarters in the town.

Uehara Zhenyi stood in the empty headquarters with a terrifyingly gloomy face. These Eighth Route Army soldiers went too far. They didn't even leave any stools to sit on. They burned them all as fuel and firewood.

They were searching for them, but these guys were brave enough to not hide and run away, but directly attacked the heavily defended stronghold.

This was a direct slap in his face, which made him angry. What made him even more angry was that when Nanguan Town was attacked, no one came to rescue him.

Although the current situation is severe and the troops in each stronghold are at the minimum configuration, some people can still be squeezed out.

Even if the rescue purpose cannot be achieved due to the small number of troops, it can at least serve as a containment and prevent the Eighth Route Army from evacuating as calmly as now.

Everyone was afraid that the Eighth Route Army was encircling the area for reinforcements, so they all closed their doors and stepped up their guard, and no one sent out any troops.

Is the reputation of the Eighth Route Army so great? Uehara Zhenichi thinks it is not because of this. This is the problem of the commander here. It is conceivable how bad the popularity is, otherwise there will be no one to save him.

situation.

Uehara Zhenichi was in a bad mood, and the puppet army commander who came with him also looked like a dead man, but he was happy in his heart.

Zhang Hongbao died, it was a good death, a wonderful death, and a croaking death. If he were worried about the emperor at this time, he would really want to laugh three times.

This is not to say that he and Zhang Hongbao have any deep hatred, there is not even any grudge between them.

But this did not prevent him from cursing his early death, because this puppet army commander came to take office following Taijun Miyake.

Taijun could directly accept all Xiang Yuan's affairs, but that was not the case for the traitors who were latecomers to the puppet army.

Xiang Yuan's cake was just that big, and it had already been carved up by the local traitor forces. Those who came in late didn't even get to drink the soup.

Although he is a regiment leader, he is stationed in the county with the imperial army. Under the eyes of the imperial army, he can only stay in the military camp. It is troublesome to find a station, so he can't expect any extra money.

Relying on that little military pay, even though he was a regiment leader, he was still living a miserable life. He had to weigh his wallet even if he wanted to have a nice drink.

Puppet soldiers like Zhang Hongbao, in terms of their position alone, can only survive as a battalion commander, but the life they live is full of glory, spending a lot of money, and being a boss wherever they go, how can they not make people jealous?

To put it bluntly, he, the regimental commander, would be happy to exchange positions with such a security captain, but it's a pity that no one is stupid enough to give up his plum job.

Since it is impossible to actively want to do so, then there will only be a power vacuum if they are completely eliminated.

Now that it has really come true, how can he not be happy, especially now that his troops have taken over the defense of Nanguan immediately.

Zhang Hongbao was really a loser. Nanguan Town was such a good military location, but it was easily conquered by the Eighth Route Army. His death was not unjust.

Naturally, this piece of fat that has fallen into his mouth cannot be given away again. The commander of the puppet army is considering taking over the jurisdiction of Nanguan Town. As for the enemy's situation, it seems that it is all considered by Taijun.

But what bothers him a bit is that this stubborn guy Uehara insists on fighting against the Eighth Route Army, but he keeps being played by the Eighth Route Army and follows the Eighth Route Army to eat dust.

Judging from this situation, he really wanted to pursue the Eighth Route Army to the end. However, when their troops were heading north, he left a small group of imperial troops and two battalions of his own to intercept the Eighth Route Army.

The road back.

In other words, there are only more than 200 imperial troops and one battalion of his own. The number of troops is not large, and Uehara Zhenyi may not agree with him to divide the troops for garrison.

Now there are too many monks and too little rice. Once my people leave this cooked duck in Nanguan Town, they may really fly away.

"Uehara, why are you angry? I have also questioned the security forces here. The number of troops fighting them is not many, that is, three to four hundred people. According to the habit of the Eighth Route Army, they may also deal with the blocking troops, but the blocking troops

The strength of the troops will not exceed the main force, so the strength of this group of Eighth Route Army soldiers is only about five to six hundred people."

"This group of Eighth Route Army troops should be larger than a battalion, but much smaller than a regiment. According to the Eighth Route Army's organization habits, this should be a detachment. Such troops are not the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Generally, their combat power will not be too strong. The reason why they are

The ability to capture Nanguan Town was mainly due to the improper handling of the defenders here." The puppet army commander is now trying his best to belittle the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness.

Regarding the analysis of the pseudo-regiment commander, Uehara Zhenichi is quite in agreement. The pseudo-regiment commander's analysis is also reasonable. Those who can become the leader still have two hundred skills.

After listening to the analysis of the puppet army commander, Uehara Zhenyi's complexion improved a lot. The imperial army's strongholds were attacked one after another. Even a town with complete fortifications like Nanguan Town was captured by the Eighth Route Army.

As the commander this time, he, Uehara, is more or less responsible, and the commander of the puppet army is quite competent in what he said.

It's not that the enemy is so powerful, but that our teammates are pigs, which gives Uehara a step down.

After the puppet army commander's analysis, Uehara Zhenichi also began to feel that there was something wrong with his tactical guidance.

It can be seen from the movement trajectory of this group of Eighth Route Army that they fled from east to west, which means that their containment strategy was correct and they have already cornered the Eighth Route Army.

The reason why they haven't been able to capture the opponent yet is that the Eighth Route Army has fewer troops, is more flexible in its movements, and is as slippery as a loach, but this is not the most important thing.

The main thing is, as the leader of the puppet army said, they have encountered the pig teammates in Jiuligou and Nanguan Town. As long as they persist for a while, they can completely hold back this eight-pronged team.
