"Gather all the remaining machine gunners in your hands and report to Battalion Commander Yang Huping to participate in the next battle!" Wang Ping suddenly ordered before leaving.
Xiong Changhe's eyes lit up, knowing that the leader was no longer as angry as he was at first, he immediately replied: "Yes, leader!"
The New Regiment did not have many troops participating in this battle. The total number of troops in the new regiment was only over a hundred.
However, everyone participating in the battle was full of confidence in the coming battle, especially Yang Huping, who knew the entire battle plan. From daybreak, he had an excited smile full of expectation on his face, wishing that the Japanese would kill him right now.
Xiong Changhe, who was following Wang Ping with a dozen machine gunners, walked along the road for dozens of meters without finding anything, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Captain, you want it!"
Wang Ping did not answer directly, but stared at Xiong Changhe and asked, "You didn't see anything?"
Xiong Changhe directly showed a puzzled expression: "What do you see? There is nothing here except roads. And it is surrounded by wasteland, not even a bush. It is not suitable for an ambush at all!"
"If you think so, the Japanese will definitely think so too!" Wang Ping said something that made Xiong Changhe even more confused.
Seeing Xiong Changhe's frown getting deeper and deeper, Yang Huping explained: "Captain Xiong, the commander and I will perform a trick for you next!"
After speaking, Yang Huping said a few words to the guards around him.
Soon, a picture appeared that shocked Xiong Changhe.
In the wasteland less than thirty meters away from the road, seven or eight soldiers suddenly appeared. They were divided into two groups, each group was equipped with a light machine gun. As for the remaining soldiers, they had rifles on their backs, and each of them had a gun on their waist.
Hang four grenades or grenades!
"Our people are hiding underground, commander, how did you do it?" Xiong Changhe asked with a look of shock.
"First dig the trench, then cover it with planks and mats, and finally cover it with loess and some thatch, or branches and leaves!" Yang Huping immediately replied.
Seeing that Xiong Changhe had not yet recovered from the shock, Yang Huping continued his analysis.
"Our people are hiding underground. They can not only avoid the Japs' aerial reconnaissance, but also their ground reconnaissance. When they come to us, it only takes half a minute. The road under our feet will be attacked by more than 20 people."
Attack simultaneously with light and heavy machine guns and four to five hundred grenades!"
Xiong Changhe was excited at first, but soon he discovered the problem and frowned.
"But, Battalion Commander Yang, there are nearly 2,000 Japanese and puppet troops. Even if our attack is very violent and sudden, we can only wipe out a few hundred Japanese puppet troops at most. When they react, they will outflank them on both sides, and the ambush force will definitely
Will be surrounded by Japanese and puppet troops!"
"I fought against the Japanese last night, and I know their fighting power very well!"
"They are all veterans and elites. They have strong fighting power and very fast reaction speed. They are very difficult to deal with!"
Yang Huping was unmoved and still looked confident: "Don't worry, Commander Xiong, you have made these regiment leaders think of it!"
"We don't plan to fight the Japanese to the death here. This is just the first surprise we have prepared for the Japanese, and there will be a second and third surprise later!"
"As for the specific surprise, you will know when the time comes."
After saying this, a confident yet mysterious smile appeared directly on Yang Huping's face.
At nine o'clock in the morning, two thousand Japanese troops left their wounded soldiers and set off on time, along with a Japanese fighter jet hovering overhead.
Less than an hour after leaving, the fighter jets patrolling in front flew back, followed by making a few moves in the air and then flew away.
The adjutant immediately reported: "Sir, the cruise fighter reported that there are no Eighth Route Army troops within ten kilometers of us!"
"There is not much combat fuel left and we have to return. An hour later, another combat aircraft will come over and continue to provide us with air support!"
"The Eighth Route Army is really a bunch of cowards. They all ran away as soon as it was light and then showed up again as soon as it got dark. They didn't dare to fight the Imperial Army head-on. Eight-Road Army!" the captain couldn't help but cursed.
Then he ordered: "Since there is no Eighth Route Army ahead, let's hurry up and hurry up!"
"With so many troops, it's impossible for them to disappear completely. We will go directly to their base and force them out!"
"Hi!"
Two thousand Japanese puppet troops, with one battalion in front, the Japanese in the middle, and two battalions in the rear, rushed forward along the road.
Of course, the Japanese captain did not pin all the fate of his troops on the Army Air Forces.
Although the aviation unit reported that there was no Eighth Route Army around, and there was indeed no place to hide troops for an ambush, the captain still ordered the leading puppet army to be divided into three, with one company walking on the road, and the remaining two companies walking on both sides of the road, and conducting reconnaissance all the way.
, make sure there is no Eighth Route Army soldier around you.
"Captain, the Japanese are coming!" Yang Huping reminded with excitement on a small highland one kilometer away from the road.
Wang Ping nodded and analyzed confidently: "The puppet troops in front have already passed the trenches where we hide our troops. As long as we avoid the Japanese and puppet reconnaissance troops, we will be more than half successful in this ambush!"
Xiong Changhe did not speak, but his eyes were fixed on the battlefield, not letting go of any movement.
The mysterious smile on Yang Huping's face made him full of expectations for the battle in front of him. More importantly, he wanted to see the Japanese suffer heavy losses in the surprise prepared by the regiment leader and avenge himself.
At this time, Yang Huping spoke again: "Captain, the Japanese plane has just left for less than half an hour. If you act now, there will be enough time for the troops to retreat before the next Japanese plane arrives. If the Japanese and puppet troops have the courage to send troops to pursue
We, then just give them the second surprise we prepared for them!"
Wang Ping continued to stare at the battlefield without speaking.
After all the Japs walking in the middle of the team entered the ambush circle, they decisively ordered: "Send the signal and start attacking!"
"Bang bang bang!" Three signal bombs suddenly took off and exploded not far away. The Japanese captain's heart skipped a beat, and he realized a very bad premonition.
However, the surroundings are unobstructed, and there are no enemies at all.
Since there are no enemies, the troops cannot be in danger. Therefore, as soon as this awareness appeared, the captain suppressed him in his heart.
But at this moment, a scene appeared on the east side of the highway, which made the bad premonition that he had just suppressed come out again.
Thirty meters away, on the motionless wasteland, patches of thatch and loess were suddenly thrown high.
Before they could react to their confusion, the figure of the Eighth Route Army entered their field of vision.
More than twenty light and heavy machine guns were carried to the ground by the Eighth Route Army, and then opened fire on the Japanese who were still in shock on the highway.
Each machine gun group was ten meters apart from each other, and more than twenty tongues of flames directly intertwined an airtight net of bullets on the battlefield with a frontal width of more than two hundred meters, flying towards the Japanese.
The machine gunner pulled the trigger crazily and fired as many bullets as possible in the shortest time.
The rifleman next to him was not idle either. The grenade he held in his hand had already pulled out the fuse when it hit the cover above his head, and then threw the grenade onto the road with all his strength.
After one grenade was thrown out, a second grenade was thrown out.
After the machine gunner finished shooting one magazine, he immediately replaced it with a new one and continued shooting!
