There were no Japanese officers to urge them to raise their guns and fight back... There were no Japanese lackeys to keep an eye on them...
The puppet soldiers who were still alive seemed to be frozen, holding their heads in their hands and lying motionless on the ground.
Their life-saving rifles had been thrown aside long ago, and they did not dare to touch them, for fear that they would be targeted by the Eighth Route Army ambush troops, and end up with a tragic end of body and head missing!
"Machine gun cover... let's rush up and surround the remaining puppet troops on the road..." Huang Yu, who was keeping an eye on the battle situation, ordered decisively!
"Da da da...comrades, rush..."
More than a hundred soldiers jumped up from their hiding places, holding guns, bending down, roaring and rushing forward at very fast speeds...
After being separated from the crisis by 40 or 50 meters, he lay down on the ground at the same time, raised his gun and took aim, ready to fire at any time.
"Stop shooting...bring me the tin trumpet!" Huang Yu raised his hand and ordered!
The firefight that lasted for five minutes suddenly stopped, and the lively battlefield returned to silence at the same time. Only the smoke and corpses scattered everywhere proved that a big battle had just occurred here!
"Listen to the puppet army brothers across the way, you have been surrounded... There is no other way out except surrender..." Huang Yu shouted at the top of his voice.
"Anyone who doesn't want to die will throw away his gun, put his head in his hands and stand up from the ground, line up in a row, and continue walking along the highway..."
"If we find someone armed...our bullets don't have eyes!"
After Huang Yu finished speaking, the battlefield became quiet again...
The soldiers of the assault battalion were holding rifles and light machine guns, aiming motionlessly at Ergouzi in the pocket formation!
If someone is unwilling to fail and wants to fight back... these soldiers will definitely open fire immediately to preemptively kill the opponent.
The puppet soldiers who were still alive on the road fell into a deathly silence, frowning and analyzing whether they should surrender immediately.
Huang Yu continued to shout: "I'll give you half a minute to think about it..."
"We have prepared five grenade launchers and ten light machine guns. When half a minute is up, we will cover the pocket array with firepower. Everyone, hurry up!"
As soon as Huang Yu finished speaking, a puppet soldier moved...
I originally thought that he was going to take the lead in surrendering, but in the end he raised his rifle and aimed it at me, trying to make himself better.
Is it tolerable or intolerable...
"Bang bang bang..."
Several riflemen nearby took action decisively. Amidst the harsh gunfire, the puppet soldier who had just picked up the rifle was shot directly. He didn't say a word and fell to the ground without moving...
"This is the consequences of resistance..." Huang Yu shouted suppressing his anger.
"There are more than a hundred sharpshooters and ten light machine guns around you... No one's move can escape our eyes..."
"If you want to die, our Eighth Route Army wouldn't mind helping you..."
"There are still fifteen seconds for everyone to consider...I will shoot as soon as the time is up..."
"The machine gun is ready...the grenade is ready to fire. I start counting down: ten...nine...eight...seven..."
Once the Japanese officer in the team dies, the other puppet troops will lose their will to fight...
As long as they can survive, they have no objection to surrender at all...
But just in case, these puppet soldiers did not immediately become abnormal...
I carefully observed my surroundings to make sure that there were no Japanese officers or their lackeys around, and then I mustered up the courage to stand up.
"I surrender...I don't want to die...The Eighth Route Army must not shoot..."
"I surrender too... Surrender now..."
Under the threat of death, all the puppet troops who were still able to move on the highway chose to surrender at the last moment. Even a few die-hard traitors who slipped through the net couldn't hold on any longer and chose to throw away their weapons and become prisoners...
"Battal Commander... we are rich..." Zhong Chengjun ran towards him with a smile on his face and started reporting from a distance...
"109 puppet soldiers were captured, and more than 180 rifles, seven light machine guns, and three grenade launchers were seized..."
"More than 20,000 kilograms of grain and more than 20,000 rounds of various types of ammunition were also seized from the cart!"
"In order to reinforce the Xiaowangzhuang stronghold, the Japanese and puppet troops in the county were really willing to spend money..."
"But from now on, these good things will be cheaper for us!"
Huang Yu was also very happy. He didn't expect that this ambush battle would be so profitable...
With this batch of weapons, ammunition and food, the assault battalion can not only expand by another main company... but also meet the rations for the next month.
Immediately ordered: "Food, weapons and ammunition, prisoners... we accept them all, and we can't leave anything to the little devils!"
"Pick one out to escort the loot and prisoners, and the remaining soldiers will continue to follow me to blockade the Xiaowangzhuang stronghold!"
"After this battle, the county's already small garrison will definitely become even worse, and they will not dare to easily send troops to reinforce Xiaowangzhuang..."
"We have an excellent opportunity to win Xiaowangzhuang..."
"If you're lucky enough, you might even be able to capture the stronghold with one soldier!"
At the Xiaowangzhuang stronghold, the lieutenant captain has been guarding the top of the gun tower since dawn, raising his telescope every few minutes to take a look at the road connecting the county seat, hoping that the baggage team sent by the county seat will appear soon.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the much-anticipated baggage train and reinforcements did not appear.
The hot expression on the lieutenant's face was slowly replaced by disappointment, and his brows unknowingly wrinkled again.
"Captain...the food left in the stronghold is only enough for one meal tonight!" The chief of staff was also waiting for the baggage team sent by the county, but he was disappointed. He could only climb to the top of the turret with a depressed expression to report.
.
"Is there anything left to eat?" the lieutenant asked with the last glimmer of hope.
"Canned food, horse meat... whatever can be preserved, find it and eat it!"
"The county has received the news that we are out of ammunition and food, and we will definitely not ignore it!"
"As long as we continue to persevere, the final victory will definitely belong to us. Maybe with the cooperation of reinforcements, we can defeat the Eighth Route Army blocking us outside the stronghold!"
"Daydreaming..." These were the four words that Chief Cao wanted to say to the lieutenant the most.
But in the highly hierarchical Japanese army, he would not dare to say this to his superiors even if he had ten nerves.
He decisively swallowed back what he had already said, re-summarized his thoughts, and answered in the face of the lieutenant's expectant eyes: "If we don't send messengers to leave the stronghold on horseback, the horse meat of those two horses alone will be enough for us to eat for several days."
sky!"
"It's a pity that the two war horses have been captured by the Eighth Route Army..."
"All the edible grains and cans in the stronghold were taken out and eaten...only the last meal is left tonight!"
"If the county town doesn't send us ammunition supplies, we will be hungry starting tomorrow morning..."
"boom……"
The lieutenant suppressed the anger that was boiling out of his heart, and was just about to curse, when a gunshot suddenly rang outside the stronghold...
A subordinate more than 20 meters away fell to the ground.
He was patrolling inside the stronghold and observing the enemy situation outside the stronghold. He never wanted to be spotted by the Eighth Route Army guarding outside and shot to death!
These are the four subordinates who were killed today!
Although the lieutenant explained on the 3rd, no one in the stronghold can be exposed easily and be used as a living target by the Eighth Route Army.
But it is impossible for everyone to understand the enemy situation outside the stronghold.
As a result, the Eighth Route Army seemed to have sharp eyes. It could always find its subordinates who were peeking out to observe the enemy's situation, and then suddenly opened fire and killed them with one shot!
The lieutenant seemed to have grown accustomed to the strange situation. He glanced at his killed subordinates and then turned his attention back to the road. He continued to look forward eagerly, expecting the baggage train and reinforcements to appear soon.
While watching, he ordered: "Even if there is no food, we can last two days at the stronghold..."
"The county will not ignore us. Something must have happened to the reinforcements and the baggage team on the road!"
"As long as we continue to wait, a miracle will definitely happen!"
The Japanese and puppet troops who reinforced the Xiaowangzhuang stronghold did not carry radios and could not contact the county in real time.
After the assault battalion completed the ambush, they not only arranged for people to bury the bodies of the Japanese and puppet soldiers, but also cleaned up the blood stains on the battlefield...
If you didn't observe carefully, no one would have thought that a bloody battle had just broken out here, and the Japanese and puppet troops in the county had no idea. They would have thought that the reinforcements had already reached the Xiaowangzhuang stronghold and were encircling and suppressing the Eighth Route Army blockade troops there...
When they finish the battle, they will naturally report victory to the county...
As a result, the wait lasted a day and a night!
With a normal march, the reinforcements were able to reach the stronghold yesterday evening...
Spend a night encircling and suppressing the Eighth Route Army. The battle will definitely be over at dawn today, and then the phone lines will be repaired immediately and the victory will be reported to the county.
But things went counterproductive.
The captain waited from dawn to morning for ten days, but there was no response from the phone in the war room... This is so strange.
Just as the captain became more and more anxious as he waited, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, the adjutant suddenly came over to comfort him: "Captain, maybe the reinforcements are not sure about encircling and suppressing the Eighth Route Army at night..."
"Yesterday we just surrounded the Xiaowangzhuang stronghold, and today we just started the decisive battle!"
"I believe they will have good news back soon!"
When the captain thought about it, it was really possible.
When fighting the Eighth Route Army, the Imperial Army usually chooses to fight during the day...not only can it take advantage of the Imperial Army's firepower advantage, making it impossible for the Eighth Route Army to hide, but it can also call for air support at any time.
If the reinforcements really did this, as long as the Eighth Route Army blocking the Xiaowangzhuang stronghold did not escape, their chances of winning would be at least 20% better than the night siege!
The anxious look on his face suddenly relaxed, and his face looked much better...
At one o'clock in the afternoon, there was no movement on the phone connected to the Xiaowangzhuang base...
Huang Yushu's brows wrinkled again.
It is more beneficial to the imperial army to fight during the day... Most of the day has passed, and the reinforcements have not sent back any good news. This is too abnormal...
There must be a demon when something goes wrong... The captain can't wait any longer.
He decisively found the adjutant and ordered: "Call the Xiaowangzhuang stronghold immediately... dial continuously... The battle between the reinforcements and the Eighth Route Army took too long, and opportunities are changing rapidly... There is no news for such a long time, and any accident may happen...
I must immediately find out the true battle situation at the Xiaowangzhuang stronghold and the true situation of the reinforcements..."
"Send a few more scouts to contact them... ride out of the city, the sooner the better..."
"If the phone is unreliable, we can only use them to connect to the latest battle situation!"
