Facing the enemy's advance, in order to reduce the pressure brought by the enemy, Zhang Yunfei must try to weaken his opponent's strength when the enemy's troops are divided into two groups.

The Jiangguchi Squadron with fewer troops is naturally the best choice, but the Japs in the rear team are not too far away. Once the front team is attacked, they can catch up quickly.

If he wanted to severely damage the Japanese front team, he would have to block the Japanese rear team's rescue. Now he had to let Tiedan's training team and reconnaissance company block the Japanese army.

This is equivalent to exchanging coins. Taking Tiedan's two companies to exchange for the Japs' front team, from the perspective of the battle situation, it is beneficial to them, but for Tiedan and the others, this task is very cruel for them.

They have to make huge sacrifices.

In the end, Zhang Yunfei asked Tiedan and the others to stop the main force of the Japanese and buy time for them to severely damage the front line of the Japanese. War is like this. For the sake of the war, someone must make sacrifices.

Having said that, in this battle, there is no essential difference between the role played by their New Ninth Regiment and the tasks he has entrusted to Tiedan and the others.

Now that he was determined, Zhang Yunfei ordered Tiedan's teaching team and reconnaissance company to block reinforcements from the Japanese rear team when his main force ambushed the Japanese's front team.

After receiving Zhang Yunfei's order, Tiedan immediately gave up his entanglement with the Japanese front team and began to prepare to block the Japanese rear team.

Watching the Japanese front team leave, Tiedan led his troops to set up an ambush circle at the exit of a mountain pass. At this time, they were fully equipped and had plenty of bullets.

In the past, the enemy's vanguards who ambush the Japs were full of rewards. Due to time constraints, the Japs' vanguard's reconnaissance methods could only rely on fire reconnaissance, so now they have relatively sufficient ammunition. If the rifles in their hands can be replaced with 38 rifles, they should try their best to replace them.

It becomes thirty-eight big covers.

After all, the most types of bullets in their hands are 65-mm bullets, and the reconnaissance company is a newly formed company. According to the tradition of the Eighth Route Army, weapons and ammunition are given priority to veterans. Their previous weapons and equipment were naturally the poorest in the entire regiment. This time they seized,

It's time to reinforce them.

When Tiedan was preparing to block the main force of the Japanese, Toshio Eguchi was no longer entangled by the Eighth Route Army, and his marching speed was a little faster.

Although he thought that he had escaped the entanglement of the Eighth Route Army, leaving the Eighth Route Army behind and unable to keep up with his own speed.

But once he was no longer entangled like a mad dog, he didn't feel relaxed. Instead, he felt uncomfortable all over.

He has not forgotten that there may be an ambush from the Eighth Route Army. Once they suddenly appear, coupled with the Eighth Route Army chasing behind them, a front and rear attack will be enough for him.

Although he firmly believed that the imperial army was invincible and brave, he still had to be careful. He strengthened his vigilance while trying to ensure the marching speed.

In order to prevent being ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, Eguchi Toshio deliberately extended the marching distance of the troops, so that even if they were attacked, they would not all be covered by the Eighth Route Army's firepower, giving the troops more reaction time and better defense against the Eighth Route Army's surprise attack.

Wait for the captain's rear team to come in and counterattack the Eighth Route Army.

Toshio Eguchi's prepared strategy was to delay, but Zhang Yunfei wanted to resolve this battle quickly, otherwise he might end up being beaten instead of dead.

Also, the longer they delay here, the faster Tiedan and the others will become cold. Their small number of people will not be able to withstand the main force of the Japanese for a long time.

Although he had made up his mind to redeem his money, he didn't want to really lose all the two companies. The faster they fought here, the less losses Tiedan and the others would suffer.

The ambush point chosen by Zhang Yunfei and the others is the only line between Beiya and Cuijiagou. After passing through the mountain pass, they enter the relatively flat plains of the Jinzhong Basin. Once they leave this place, they are equivalent to entering.

The hilly areas.

When the Japs arrived here and saw the exit, they would naturally relax. Even if they were just a little relaxed mentally, Zhang Yunfei had already figured it out. Now he must seize every advantage he can take advantage of.

Zhang Yunfei looked at the time, waiting for the Japanese to arrive. The ambush point they were in was in a relatively open valley. The terrain here was relatively gentle, and strictly speaking, it was not suitable for an ambush.

But there is no way. They are blocking reinforcements. The first goal is to block the enemy's marching route. As an exit from a mountainous area, the terrain cannot be too steep. The opposite is also true. If you all go here, other places will naturally be difficult to move.

.

Therefore, this place is not the best ambush point in military terms, but considering their combat missions and purposes, this is the best blocking point. As long as this place is blocked, the enemy will not be able to get out of the mountainous area in a short time.

Zhang Yunfei had no choice but to set up the ambush position here. No matter what he wanted, he would fight this battle at all costs. Choosing such a place was already the best option after careful consideration.

Now he just hoped that the Japanese would relax their vigilance after seeing that the terrain here was not conducive to sneak attacks, giving them more opportunities.

While Zhang Yunfei was waiting nervously, Toshio Eguchi appeared with his team. When the Japs saw the terrain, they were relieved.

Their march was not easy. They could neither slow down nor be prepared for the Eighth Route Army's black guns. Although there were no more disturbances and sneak attacks by the Eighth Route Army in the second half, they became even more nervous.

Because they always remember that there may still be Eighth Route Army troops hiding in the dark, waiting to give them a fatal blow.

Walking at night requires more energy and energy than during the day, not to mention it is a mountain road, and you have to be alert all the time, and you have been attacked by Tiedan and the others from time to time.

These Japanese soldiers had been tortured so hard that when they saw the terrain leading out of the mountain pass, their nervousness relaxed and they suddenly felt exhausted. They felt that their steps were much heavier and they could no longer move.

When Toshio Eguchi saw the terrain of the mountain pass, he also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Eighth Route Army had really given up blocking their group, and instead tried its best to block the group leader and his group with more troops.

Eguchi scolded the marching speed that had slowed down due to slackness and fatigue. Their goal was to get to the airport as soon as possible for reinforcements. Even if there was no Eighth Route Army attack, it was not time to relax yet.

Under Toshio Eguchi's scolding, the Japanese soldiers' slowed march sped up again.

Although the terrain here was not suitable for an ambush, Toshio Eguchi carefully observed this natural valley area with not too undulating terrain.

Yamaguchi Toshio, who stopped to observe the surrounding terrain, suddenly jumped forward and hid behind the protruding rocks. Almost as soon as he took action, intensive gunshots suddenly rang out from all around. Dozens of light and heavy machine guns from the New Ninth Regiment fired simultaneously.

Open fire, and rows of bullets will be fired accurately at the Japanese army formation.

It has to be said that Eguchi Toshio has been in the army for many years and has a very keen intuition about danger. He escaped everything in the flash of lightning. If he slowly turned into a sieve, the orderlies who followed him were not so lucky.
