Zhang Yunfei wanted to wait until the morale of the puppet army was lowered before attacking, but as the saying goes, when beating a dog, it depends on the owner. Now that he had touched the dog, the owner of the Japanese army must have surrounded this place.

The actions of the Third Company may have misled the enemy's encirclement direction to a certain extent, but that was only temporary. After all, their area of ​​activity was limited, and they had already appeared, and their general position had been exposed, making it difficult to hide.

The Japanese and puppet troops can easily further reduce their space for action by using elimination methods. Now, before the enemy has joined forces, is the best time to deal with this group of puppet troops.

This group of puppet troops has now become a big colander in the raids. If we don't catch them, who else can be caught by a fierce attack?

However, although the morale of this puppet army is low, there are still two battalions with seven to eight hundred people, which is still a lot of strength.

The establishment of the puppet army is not enough, and each company of the New Ninth Regiment of ours is a large establishment, so we only have four companies, but our strength is not much less than that of the puppet army.

But now that the third company was released by himself to lure the enemy, Zhang Yunfei could only concentrate the troops of the three companies to attack, and the sixth company had suffered heavy casualties when blocking reinforcements before.

The team led by Li Ergou did not suffer any major casualties, but the team led by the instructor of the Sixth Company actually blocked reinforcements and suffered more than half of the casualties. The Sixth Company now only has about a hundred people, and there are also some from the Second Company and the Fifth Company.

casualties.

Therefore, the three companies participating in the main attack only have about 400 troops at full strength. It is not easy to defeat this group of puppet troops.

This is why Zhang Yunfei has always emphasized that there should not be too many casualties. Faced with the enemy's superior strength, even if he has an idea, he can't do anything without anyone in his hands.

However, Zhang Yunfei didn't say anything about Xu Zhengshan who suffered too many casualties. He could criticize Li Ergou. After all, that guy Li Ergou was being clever and his actions were speculative and risky.

If the puppet army really marches and breaks through quickly regardless of the cost of casualties, it is very likely that they will arrive on the battlefield before the end of the battle on their side.

There were big loopholes in his plan, and just because he succeeded by luck does not mean he is a hero based on the results.

Xu Zhengshan and the others were actually harassing the enemy and blocking reinforcements. They couldn't really say what they were doing wrong, and casualties were inevitable.

So not only cannot we blame him, but we need to affirm him. This is another reason why Zhang Yunfei must criticize Li Ergou.

To be fair, holding down a battalion of puppet troops with half a company is already an outstanding achievement, but nothing compares to anything.

Judging from the results, the gap between the two is too big, which is a big blow to Xu Zhengshan.

Therefore, beating Li Ergou and finding out his faults can also make Xu Zhengshan feel less guilty and regain some confidence.

Qian Deming still admires Zhang Yunfei's handling of the situation. He has seen a lot of military cadres who can command wars, but it is still rare to take into account all aspects like him. This is doing all the work of political cadres.

.

This time, Li Ergou completed the blocking mission perfectly at a very small cost, but suffered a meal at the head of the queue. He seemed to have suffered a lot, but it made Qian Deming change his mind.

Qian Deming has the ambition to build the New Ninth Regiment into an ace unit. Although he is a political cadre, he has a brave heart to win.

For a flexible and flexible general like Li Ergou, it is inevitable to have more recognition and affection. Talents are rare. As for bad habits, they can be slowly corrected through education.

Moreover, this comrade was wronged this time and did not complain at all. He worked hard and did not complain. His nature is still good.

If Li Ergou knew that Qian Deming had such comments about him, he would be confused. Is this really him?

Li Ergou is a guy who really can't be tolerated. He is praised for being able to run a dyeing workshop. He can only be honest if he keeps hammering. So, Qian Deming really misunderstood, but it is still a good thing.

This group of puppet troops lacked experience in fighting the Eighth Route Army before, but they also knew that they could pursue them during the day, but it was better to huddle together at night.

The Eighth Route Army is quite famous for its ability to fight at night, and the puppet army no longer expects to eliminate this group of Eighth Route Army by themselves. Now they are just driving away, hoping that other encircling troops will arrive early and they will be relieved.

This gang of gangsters is too annoying. They won't fight you in an upright manner, but they will only engage in some crooked sneak attacks.

Regarding the harassment tactics of the three companies, the puppet battalion commander did not run out of ideas. He sent two companies of troops to try to attack the flanks of the Eighth Route Army in a roundabout way.

Zhang Yunfei's large army, which fell behind, was worried that the puppet army had too many troops. He had no good solution for a while, but the other party actually divided his troops. This was exactly what he wanted. Someone would give him a pillow when he was really dozing off. Such a good thing was given to them. How could Zhang Yunfei be so polite?

Lead an ambush early on the route that the puppet army must take to outflank the troops.

The puppet army's outflanking troops stepped into the ambush circle arranged by Zhang Yunfei. Under the intense crossfire of Zhang Yunfei's superior troops and more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns, as well as the precise shooting of mortar shells.

As soon as the battle began, the puppet army collapsed completely. They were unable to form any decent counterattack and lost most of their bodies. They escaped only when a large army of puppet troops came to respond.

After suffering such a heavy loss, these puppet troops did not dare to divide their forces to pursue them no matter what, for fear of being poisoned by the Eighth Route Army again.

After this battle, the puppet army became more honest. In fact, Zhang Yunfei was not satisfied with this. They were fully capable of eating the puppet army that was divided.

However, in order to reduce unnecessary casualties, we could only withdraw from the battle before the puppet reinforcements arrived. We were full of worries and fear of being injured, which turned out to be a constraint. It was still very depressing to be so careful and cautious.

But in order to preserve the vitality, we can only eat it bit by bit like this.

Zhang Yunfei was not satisfied with the results of the battle, and the battalion commander of the puppet army was really upset. He sent troops from the battalion commander's battalion to outflank and kill him.

This time there were heavy casualties, but the other party decided not to do anything anymore, thinking that he was trying to eradicate dissidents, and deliberately used the Eighth Route Army to get rid of them.

The internal atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense, and if you were not careful, you would get angry and mutiny.

Now it has reached the edge of losing control. The reason why it has not exploded yet is thanks to the external pressure from the Eighth Route Army, which has restrained everything.

The puppet battalion commander still doesn't understand why the battle ended in such a bad state. They are obviously the hunters, and the Eighth Route Army is the losing dog.

But now, although they are still pursuing the Eighth Route Army in name, they are actually extremely cowardly, and they still rely on the Eighth Route Army's pressure to maintain internal unity. How ridiculous.

There are also those brainless guys who don’t want to think about it. It’s the time to form a group. How can I deceive them at this time?

These guys have been scheming all day long, and they have all conspiracies in their heads, so damn hard that they can't think normally anymore.

In order to appease the opponent's emotions and avoid further intensifying the conflict, the puppet battalion commander had no choice but to lead his own team to clear the way and leave the remaining tasks to the puppet troops of another battalion.
