Although one machine gunner was lost, the gains were huge.
As the most elite reconnaissance force of the Japanese army, its equipment is undoubtedly the best in the army.
Just nine scouts are equipped with a crooked handle, a grenade, a seven-day three-eight cover, three pistols, nearly two thousand rounds of ammunition, twenty special grenades for the grenade, and more than twenty
grenade.
Facing these gains, Zhong Yusheng felt much better. He quickly returned to the city gate with the seizure and continued to ambush the Japanese reconnaissance troops who might leave the city!
The Japanese headquarters in Laiyuan City was in a different scene at this time. The sudden sound of gunshots outside the city made Ono realize that the reconnaissance troops leaving the city might have encountered something unexpected.
Sure enough, more than an hour after the investigation team left the city, there was still no news coming back.
At this time, even if Colonel Ono was a fool, he understood that the reconnaissance team that left the city was finished, and was wiped out by the Eighth Route Army in the gunfire shortly after leaving the city!
"Captain, Tubal Road definitely doesn't want us to know the news outside the city and find out their strength!" The chief of staff frowned and put forward his own idea.
"Bageya Road, this way, we won't know the strength of Tubal Road outside the city, and we won't be able to send troops to retaliate against them!" The captain of the regiment pointed out Wang Ping's purpose of hunting down the Japanese reconnaissance troops.
The chief of staff frowned and analyzed: "We must find out the specific strength of the Tubal Army outside the city as soon as possible. The longer the time is delayed, the more disadvantageous it will be to us, and the Eighth Route Army outside the city will have more time to prepare and face us!"
Ono Dazuo's eyes quickly shot out two rays of light, and then he replied with confidence: "Tubalu underestimates us. If I want, I will definitely be able to figure out their specific strength in the shortest time!"
"You must know that the imperial army's power is not only spread throughout Laiyuan City, but there are also strongholds outside Laiyuan City that are inferior to the imperial army!"
"Pass my order to continue sending reconnaissance troops out of the city from other directions. I don't believe that Tubal Road can block all the gates of Laiyuan City. Also, use the security regiment in the city and order Commander Wang to deploy some confidants.
Put on ordinary people's clothes and go out of the city, and find out the specific strength of Tubal Road in Shuiyuan Village in the shortest possible time!"
"Finally, call the stronghold outside the city that we can contact, and immediately send scouts to Shuiquan Village to find out what happened in Shuiquan Village as soon as possible, and report the situation immediately!"
"Hi!" The chief of staff's eyes lit up and he answered immediately.
Wang Ping indeed had no way to blockade all the gates of Laiyuan City and all the Japanese strongholds outside Laiyuan City. If nothing else, the military strength alone would be enough for Wang Ping to worry about.
However, Wang Ping has a way to block all access to Shuiquan Village.
The sound of gunfire that rang out in Shuiquan Village had already told anyone around that a big battle had just occurred here. Ordinary people, as long as their minds are right, would definitely not go near the battlefield.
Therefore, in the past two days, anyone who wants to enter or get close to Shuiquan Village is either a kid or a traitor who collects information for the kid.
In order to let the Japanese find out the strength of the independent battalion later, or to pass on false information to the Japanese in the city.
Wang Ping directly ordered Zeng Quan to lead a team to block all access to Shuiquan Village.
If the blockade troops encounter a small group of Japanese soldiers, they will be eaten directly.
If you encounter a traitor wearing common people's clothes, arrest him first. After confirming his identity later, if he is indeed a common person, he will apologize and let him go. If he is a traitor, then I'm sorry and just do whatever you have to do!
Ever since Zeng Quan put the blockade troops in place, gunshots continued to ring out from all official roads and mountain roads within a one or two kilometer radius, centered on Shuiquan Village.
After finally waiting until dark, Zeng Quan, who was patrolling outside, seemed to have been given a shot of blood and rushed into the camp headquarters in great excitement.
"Battal Commander, Instructor, good news! Guess how many Japanese we killed and how much equipment we captured in one afternoon today, you won't believe it!"
Cheng Xiao is in charge of the entire battalion's logistics equipment. For Cheng Xiao, in order to facilitate the independent battalion's subsequent expansion, the more equipment and ammunition stored in the logistics must be the better.
Therefore, as soon as Zeng Quan finished speaking, Cheng Xiao stared at him and asked, "Tell me, how much have you gained?"
"Through ambushes at several intersections, a total of 28 Japanese scouts and 13 puppet soldiers were eliminated. In addition, 36 puppet soldiers were captured. As for the seizures, they were simply too many."
"There are three crooked handles, two grenade barrels, 21 38 caps, and old sleeves, 21 of which are official. The rest are all pistols, including Bastard boxes and Mauser, a total of 17.
As for bullets, there must be four to five thousand bullets of various kinds scattered here and there!"
"In addition to replenishing combat consumption, all the rest were sent back. Just outside the battalion headquarters, more than 30 puppet army prisoners were also sent back. It should be possible to mobilize many people to join our Eighth Route Army!"
Cheng Xiao immediately laughed. For him, these seizures and prisoners could be described as windfalls.
Then he said very happily: "I will arrange for someone to take them in immediately. As for the prisoners, I will definitely mobilize many people to join our Eighth Route Army!"
Wang Ping was also very happy, but still asked very rationally: "In other words, so far, the devils in Laiyuan City have not figured out our strength!"
"Definitely not. If Shuiquan Village can't get in, it's impossible for them to figure it out!" Zeng Quan answered with certainty.
At this time, Wang Ping seemed to think of something, but it didn't take long for the idea to disappear from his mind.
He frowned and thought for a full minute before his eyes slowly brightened, and then he asked thoughtfully: "The Japs have lost so many people around Shuiquan Village and haven't come in yet. What do you think the Japs team leader will think?"
"Needless to say, they must think that our independent battalion is hiding in Shuiquan Village and will continue to strengthen the investigation of Shuiquan Village to find out our strength as soon as possible!" Zeng Quan answered without thinking.
"If the Japanese commander really thinks so, then we will have another fighter!" Wang Ping gave an astonishing reply.
