The first battalion reconnaissance squad and fifty large transport vehicles sent by the Japanese transport troops arrived at almost the same time.
After listening to the investigation squad leader's report, Xiong Changhe immediately made a judgment: "Fifty large trucks can just transport 80,000 kilograms of grain from Gaojia'ao Village. And the Japanese and puppet troops left by the Japanese in the village are escorting the entire transport team.
Guard troops!"
"map……"
The four company commanders all had excited smiles on their faces and immediately gathered around the map in front of Xiong Changhe, waiting for orders.
"This is a total of four kilometers away from the Japanese stronghold. Therefore, we must intercept at least this batch of food when the Japanese and puppet troops transporting food return to their stronghold, and annihilate all the Japanese and puppet troops. I decided to fight the Japanese and puppet troops right here.
A surprise attack!"
"First company, second company, fire company, troops directly under the battalion headquarters, recruit company, follow me, go fight the Japanese and transport the troops to leave immediately!"
The commander of the third company, who had not received the order, became anxious and asked hurriedly: "Batalion commander, where is the third company? You missed the third company!"
"You also have a mission. Take the Third Company and set off immediately to catch up with the main force of the Japanese and puppet army's food-grabbing troops and use guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to consume them!"
Today's First Battalion is no longer what it used to be.
Although the total number of Japanese and puppet troops totaled more than 200, half of which were Japanese infantry and baggage troops, Xiong Changhe killed them without even giving them a chance to take action.
When the Japanese and puppet troops arrived, they had already conducted reconnaissance and searches on both sides of the road with the cooperation of special forces, but found nothing.
Therefore, the Japanese transport team carrying 80,000 kilograms of grain did not even intend to conduct reconnaissance. They dragged a cart full of grain and marched in a hurry, hoping to deliver the grain to the stronghold as soon as possible, and then rush to the next village to continue transporting grain.
The main force of the first battalion was ambushed in a wasteland that was the only way for the Japanese and puppet troops to pass.
Everyone was lying on the ground, covered with withered thatch. Unless they walked in and observed carefully, the Japanese would definitely not have noticed anything on the road.
"Old rule, fight the Japanese first, then the puppet troops. Everyone, shoot immediately when you hear my gunfire!" Battalion Commander Xiong Changhe ordered with a gleam on his face as he looked at the Japanese transport team getting closer and closer on the road.
road.
"Bang!" Xiong Changhe pulled the trigger of the rifle in his hand, and a Japanese machine gunner walking in the middle of the team fell down in response.
"Da da da... bang bang bang..."
The wasteland on one side of the road was instantly enveloped by the sound of intensive machine gun fire and rifle fire.
A total of six heavy machine guns, nearly ten light machine guns, and more than two hundred rifles were fired at the same time. The whizzing bullets intertwined with each other and rained down on the Japanese on the road.
The more than fifty Japanese infantrymen were not scattered in the convoy. In order to ensure that the troops could respond quickly to counterattack when encountering emergencies, they were all concentrated at the front of the convoy and marched.
Although this makes it easier for them to concentrate their forces to fight back after being attacked, it also makes it easier for the new regiments and battalions to concentrate their firepower to kill them.
Fifteen light and heavy machine guns stared at them and fired at them. In less than three seconds, the infantry team of more than fifty people had very little left.
"Commander, blow the charge bugle directly. The troops will kill them. The remaining Japanese troops and puppet troops will be dealt with directly with bayonets. End the battle quickly and retreat with food. This place is too close to the Japanese stronghold. It will take up to twenty minutes.
The Japanese reinforcements will be able to kill them!" Xiong Changhe, who had already replaced his rifle with a Mauser pistol, ordered loudly.
"Baga, it's the Eighth Route Army, fight back immediately and stop them!" the captain of the Japanese baggage team scattered in the middle of the convoy ordered with panic.
In just a few seconds, the infantry team at the front was finished.
And many of his subordinates are not even equipped with self-defense rifles.
"Comrades, kill me!" Two company commanders took the lead, leading eight machine gunners. They opened fire while pouring fire onto the road.
The puppet army reacted the fastest, and the shock of the entire Japanese infantry squad being wiped out was absolutely unprecedented.
Everyone was full of fear of the Eighth Route Army ambushing them.
Seeing the Eighth Route Army rushing towards them in dense numbers, their first thought was that they didn't want to die, and then they lay on the ground with their heads in their hands, and remained motionless no matter how the Japanese officers and heavy Japanese soldiers yelled.
The reaction speed of the Japanese troops was not slow. They quickly lay down on the ground. Those who had rifles picked up their rifles to fight back. Those who did not have rifles grabbed their rifles from the puppet soldiers around them and fought back.
The two companies soon suffered casualties, but the sporadic casualties did not stop the two companies from attacking.
Not only that, as long as the Japs fired, a hail of bullets would immediately fly towards him and beat him into a sieve!
"Comrades, follow me and kill the remaining Japanese soldiers on the road!" Two companies, which had lost nearly a platoon, finally fought on the road.
By this time, there were not many Japs left on the road.
There were more than twenty Japanese soldiers, working in groups, holding rifles with bayonets fixed, ready to fight the oncoming Eighth Route Army with bayonets.
However, the two company commanders did not give them this opportunity.
Rifles, pistols, and light machine guns were fired at the same time, killing them all without even giving them a chance to use their bayonets.
"Batalion Commander, all the puppet troops have surrendered, and all the Japanese are dead!" the first company commander reported with excitement on his face.
"The battle is over in ten minutes. It's a good fight. In ten minutes, the Japanese reinforcements may come over. New recruit company, bring the food and prisoners and retreat immediately. Retreat from the small road towards Dongguan Village!"
"What about us? Battalion Commander!" The first company commander seemed to realize something and immediately asked.
"Liberate on the spot and see if we can fight another battle here!" Xiong Changhe answered mysteriously.
The first company commander reacted quickly and immediately replied: "Batalion Commander, do you want to attack the Japanese reinforcements?"
"Yes, there are not many Japs in the stronghold two kilometers away. I will send out one reinforced squadron of Japs and two companies of puppet troops. No matter whether they send more or less troops, I will bite them!" Xiong Changhe did not hide it.
Answer directly.
The first company commander replied with excitement: "If the reinforcements come in small numbers, we will eat them. If they come in large numbers, we will retreat after a brief assault. With so many light and heavy machine guns, we can easily kill nearly a hundred of them with one salvo!"
Xiong Changhe immediately ordered: "Then why are you still stunned? Immediately order the troops to hide. Now the enemy is strong and we are weak, we must not let go of any fighter opportunity!"
"Speed up, the transport troops have brought 80,000 kilograms of grain, which will be our military rations for the next year. There must be no accidents!" the squadron leader of the Japanese reinforcements ordered anxiously.
As a squadron leader, he is very aware of the imperial army's policy of supporting war with war.
But no matter how hard he hurried, when he was less than one kilometer away from the battlefield, what he was most worried about happened.
The intensive gunfire suddenly stopped.
"Something must have happened to the transport unit!" The squadron leader immediately had a very bad feeling in his heart.
"Speed up and rush over now. Maybe we can get the food back from the Eighth Route Army." The squadron leader became anxious and shouted loudly.
