Compared with the daytime, the Japanese's reaction rate at night must be much slower.

After all, most of the Japanese were resting.

A small number of Japanese soldiers guarding and patrolling also lost their combat effectiveness in the emergency fire attack of the guard company and could not counterattack.

The sporadic gunshots of the Japanese counterattack became dense until the guards retreated two hundred meters away.

At this time, the night cover and the guard company were too far away from them. As long as it was not too unlucky, the counterattack bullets shot by the Japanese could not do anything to the Eighth Route Army.

After firing the bullet for a few minutes and there was no movement outside the military camp, the Japanese captain decisively ordered the troops to stop shooting.

A squadron leader followed and reported: "Captain, the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack caused us five warriors to be killed and 12 warriors were injured!"

"Bageya Road, Tujia Road is so cunning. When we find them, we will definitely tear them to pieces!" Faced with the disappearing guard company, the captain could only use curses to vent his anger and dissatisfaction.

After scolding, he ordered: "Send the wounded to the injured barracks, the troops will continue to rest and maintain their energy. Continue to search for the Eighth Route Army tomorrow. You must find them and destroy them!"

"Also, we need to add double guard posts for the remaining hours to prevent the Eighth Route Army from attacking us again!"

During the two hours, although the Japanese's alert and patrol efforts have more than doubled, Wang Ping only needs to attack the Japanese from a long distance and does not need to get too close to their military camp.

After the Japanese military camp calmed down again, Wang Ping attacked another time!

This time, the guard company touched the Japanese military camp and fired less than two hundred meters away.

Although the riflemen fired too many bullets at this distance, relying on the bullet density, many Japanese sentries and patrol teams were hit.

In particular, the three grenades shot from the grenade launcher directly hit the military camp and exploded, blowing a tent away, killing and injuring more than a dozen Japanese soldiers in the tent!

When the Japanese reacted, the guard company ran away without a trace.

After finally dawn, the Japanese captain ran over before breakfast was eaten.

"Captain, two sneak attacks in the evening and the first team entered the village, the injured barracks had already reached 52 people. I wonder if they would bring them with me today's march?"

The Japanese captain's good mood for breakfast was gone, and then he shouted: "Baga, are you stupid? There are more than fifty injuries, and it takes more than 100 people to carry the wounded. Together, an infantry squadron has lost its combat effectiveness. How many troops can we waste on carrying the wounded!"

"If you encounter the main force of the Eighth Route Army and everyone is going to carry the wounded, who else will fight?"

The deputy captain who was scolded and asked quickly, "Captain, do you mean to send them back?"

The Japanese captain's angry face became even more intense, and he continued to curse: "Do you don't want anyone to send it back? How many elite soldiers are you planning to draw to send them back? Is it an infantry squad or two infantry squads!"

I was scolded twice in the morning, and I would be very angry if I was scolded, not to mention that the brigade was second only to the brigade's deputy captain.

However, the strict hierarchy in the army made him unable to hold it in his stomach no matter how angry he was, and he had to pretend to be very educated and answered with a compliment: "At least two infantry squads are needed!"

The captain continued to curse without mercy: "I want to say that there are fewer infantry squads, and only lifting the wounded will require two squads. Don't you plan to send someone to protect them? Don't forget that there are always Tu Eighth Route Army around us, and there are fewer troops protecting them. These wounded soldiers will be targeted by Tu Eighth Route Army once they leave!"

Although he was still angry, the deputy captain had to admit that the captain was right.

With the combat effectiveness shown by the Tujiao Route Army on the battlefield, there are fewer escort troops. As long as the Tujiao Route Army brings an ambush to the escort troops, these wounded people must be fat from Tujiao Route Army to their mouths.

A trace of fear followed and then appeared on the deputy captain's face. Big beads of sweat also emerged from the deputy captain's forehead. Then he whispered to the question and answer: "Captain, what do you mean?"

"All the wounded stay here, and then leave a combat squad, equipped with a mortar, a heavy machine gun, three crooked handles, plus enough ammunition to protect them!" The captain replied confidently.

"Find a strong enough yard in the village to protect them. With such strong defensive firepower, it is not that easy for the Tujiao Route Army to eat them!"

The deputy captain's eyes lit up and immediately said, "Such defensive firepower and a mortar can provide artillery fire support. Even if the Tujiao Route Army draws a main battalion to attack, it will not be possible to break it in a short time!"

"As long as the defensive forces can hold on for enough time, our main force will be able to quickly return to Zougang Village to counter-encircle the Eighth Route Army that wants to eat our wounded!"

"Yoxi, this is a word that the Chinese people often say, kill two birds with one stone!" The captain was very satisfied with the deputy captain's answer.

Then he started to issue an order: "The firepower configuration of the left-behind troops will be as I said just now, and then a rifle group and a grenade launcher group will be left."

"Will there be too few riflemen? The yard that can accommodate more than fifty wounded people is definitely not small. A rifle team has only a dozen riflesmen, so they will definitely not be able to defend such a large yard." The deputy captain continued to raise his concerns.

"No!" the captain smiled and replied confidently.

"As far as I know, half of the more than 50 wounded men were not injured in their arms. Although they could not marches, there was no problem letting them rely on fortifications to defend."

"Leave all the weapons of all the wounded. When the Eighth Route Army attacks, there will be nearly forty riflesmen in the left-behind troops to fight."

When the Japanese began to prepare for today's battle, more than 60 guards were hiding in the forest to rest. They attacked the Japanese twice in a row in a row. The fierce and tense battle made everyone very tired.

As soon as everyone entered the hiding forest, they began to sleep soundly.

A burst of exclamation reached Wang Ping's ears at this time.

Although Wang Ping was sleeping soundly, his vigilance was not bad at all. He woke up as soon as the screams came!

"Company Commander, good news, the Japanese have divided their troops, you have calculated it correctly!" Before the guard squad leader Zhong Yusheng rushed over, a voice that was both excited and incredible was heard.

Zhang Qing followed Wang Ping to open his eyes, frowned first, and then his eyes shot out two rays of light. He stared at Zhong Yusheng who was running over hurriedly and asked: "The Japanese really divided their troops!"

"The troops were divided, so the wounded stayed in Zougang Village. However, the Japanese still left many people to protect them!" Zhong Yusheng replied with excitement on his face.
