In this era, if you have a gun, you can become a grass-headed king, and if you have soldiers in your hands, you can go anywhere without worrying about food.

But one thing is that no one can surrender to the Eighth Route Army. Although the Eighth Route Army only punishes the chief culprit and ignores others, the key point is that he is the chief culprit now! There is no reason to argue, and we can only fight to the end.

I originally thought that following the Taijun was just a formality, bullying the local people and making some extra money.

Unexpectedly, I kicked the iron plate and hit a hard stubble, leaving myself covered with bruises and almost no bones left.

He is not a big shot. If the last bit of strength in his hand is defeated by the Eighth Route Army, Taijun will not pay attention to him, and he really doesn't know where to live in the future.

The puppet battalion commander is worried about his own fate. If he knew Zhang Yunfei's movements, he would not be so worried.

There is a reason why Zhang Yunfei chose to concentrate the maximum firepower to annihilate one enemy unit in the shortest time and evacuate urgently because he had received intelligence that the large Japanese troops outflanking them were very far away from them.

Close.

Therefore, the puppet battalion commander and the others are already safe, and the Eighth Route Army has no time to take care of them. He does not need to worry about his own life.

The reason why the Japanese reinforcements arrived so late was actually because the intelligence of the puppet army was misleading.

The Japanese officers did not know the breadth and depth of Chinese culture, let alone the exaggerated claims for credit used by the puppet army.

The gist of the report by the puppet army was that they were attacked by the Eighth Route Army. They numbered about a thousand people and were judged to be the main force of the Eighth Route Army. After our troops resisted without fear of life and death, they repelled the attack of the main force of the Eighth Route Army and are now chasing the remnants of the Eighth Route Army's retreat.

During this battle, our regimental commander was on the front line and was unfortunately killed. At the same time, part of the baggage was destroyed by the Eighth Route Army. We hope that we can replenish it as soon as possible.

The Japanese commander Major Masahiko Kaneyama saw this and said, "Yoshi, this is very good. We have finally captured the main force of the Eighth Route Army." So he ordered his troops to speed up and prepare to outflank the Eighth Route Army's rear.

Because he concluded from the situation reported by the puppet troops that the situation was very good, he immediately thought that he was not providing reinforcements, but how to block the escape route of the Eighth Route Army.

There are friendly forces in Jianyang and Xincheng to the north and west, but it is better to ask for help than to ask for help. Now that the military situation is urgent, it is better to lead the troops yourself to ensure safety.

During the march, the Japanese were constantly harassed by Tiedan Company, which further confirmed that the situation reported by the puppet troops was true.

The Eighth Route Army began to become anxious, and now Masahiko Kaneyama became even more energetic. He ordered the troops to ignore the harassing troops of the Eighth Route Army and outflank the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible to block the Eighth Route Army's northward escape route.

So this group of Japanese soldiers made a big circle, and because they were constantly being harassed by the company, their marching speed was relatively slow.

In addition, the Japanese were not the Eighth Route Army. They also carried baggage, mountain artillery and other supplies. Walking on mountain roads was already slow, so in order to block the main force of the Eighth Route Army, they deliberately ran an extra mile before crossing over on the main road heading north. This was another delay.

less time.

Jinshan Masahiko rushed over with great expectations, hoping to annihilate the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.

He never expected that when he arrived, he would not see any hair from the Eighth Route Army. Instead, he would see the puppet troops who had suffered heavy losses like a defeated rooster.

Masahiko Kaneyama was so furious that he directly killed the puppet commander who had lied about military information.

Well, the puppet battalion commander who had been worried that he would die at the hands of the Eighth Route Army, when he saw the prince coming, he originally thought he was a savior, but unexpectedly he turned out to be a loser and lost his life.

Who told him to be a small person? If he were the leader of the puppet army or something, he would get slapped a few times at most, and maybe he would not die. The little devils also treat these traitors separately, and some big boss traitors still have to give some.

It's a matter of face, so I won't deal with it casually.

But the Japanese didn't use a knife to chop him, so they gave him a slap in the face with a tortoise box, which was considered to save him some face.

There is a reason why Masahiko Kaneyama is so angry. This raid on the Xinjian Xianghuai area is just a temporary mission for him. His brigade, no, more accurately, it should be a detachment. They also have important combat missions and cannot be delayed here for too long.

Long.

The detachments of the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese Army are temporary units without formal designations, while the detachments of the Japanese Army are generally temporarily formed units to perform specific combat tasks. Each detachment comes from different organizational units.

For example, the Jinshan detachment is mainly based on Masahiko Kaneyama's brigade, and has strengthened the mopping up troops formed by artillery, search teams, and baggage corps.

They were deployed to carry out mopping up operations along the Shota Line. They had to take military trains to go north according to the prescribed time. Naturally, they could not stay here indefinitely. They were really in a hurry.

In Masahiko Kaneyama's view, this battle was equivalent to a flag sacrifice before the expedition. It was as simple as following the process, but now something went wrong. The prey of the flag sacrifice jumped up and hurt someone, scratching his own face. In the end

He even ran away. Isn’t this annoying?

It was a bad start, and it was unlucky to think about it. It was polite of him to shoot the puppet battalion commander. If he didn't have to use them, he really wanted to kill all these guys who failed to achieve anything but failed.

If it weren't for their incompetence, he could go north with peace of mind at this time, instead of wandering around in this mountainous area like now.

Masahiko Kaneyama executed the puppet battalion commander, firstly out of anger, and secondly to frighten these puppet soldiers.

As an orthodox soldier, he couldn't stand the lazy style of the puppet army. If they didn't delay things, he would just tolerate it. After all, he still had to give some face to these guys who surrendered to the imperial army.

But these guys are not fighting well, so it is necessary to remind them that the imperial army's tolerance for them has its limits.

Obviously, the effect of Masahiko Kaneyama's move was... very poor. He only knew how to kill chickens to scare monkeys, but he didn't know that there is a reason why foxes are sad when rabbits die.

Especially Huang Haohai, commander of the puppet army on the Xiangyuan side who followed him to outflank him, he was even more secretly vigilant. This is the result of losing power. The Japanese are so cruel. No matter how loyal you are, as long as he thinks you are useless, he will kick him

If you kick it away, you may even lose your life.

So everything is fake. Only if you have soldiers and power in your hands, these little devils will look down on you. Huang Haohai secretly reminded himself that he must not end up like Huaide and his colleagues. He should stay away from the Eighth Route Army when he sees them.

Well, even if you spend all your capital and don't die in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, you will be killed by the Japanese.

Masahiko Kaneyama's actions, instead of stimulating the morale of the puppet army, actually made these puppet army officers want to preserve their strength.

These puppet soldiers have even lost the will to fight. The main reason why they took refuge with the Japanese is that they are afraid of death. If the Japanese cannot guarantee this, how can they work so hard to die?

After Masahiko Jinshan did this, they cherished their feathers even more. Huaide and his colleagues were living examples. They were right in front of their eyes, and they must learn from them.

At this time, Zhang Yunfei did not know the psychological changes of the puppet army, which might be more beneficial to his next actions.

He is worried that the enemy will become more powerful and the next situation will become more severe.

Moreover, his team also suffered certain casualties in previous battles. Although they were also together with the 1st and 3rd companies, the entire regiment's strength was finally complete.

The key enemy's power has become even greater, and they will no longer be able to find opportunities for sneak attacks like before.

But it's not all bad. The enemy concentrates all their forces on one side, and the transfer of the political commissars and local people with them will be much safer.
