There is only one way to solve this puzzle: kill the Eighth Route Army attacking the forward and capture two prisoners.
He frowned and continued to give the order: "The third squadron will also go up, and then a battalion of the Imperial Alliance Army will go up. The two wings will circle around the entire battlefield. I will kill all the Eighth Route Army attacking the forward and find out where their weapons come from."
"Sir is wise, I will send someone to kill you right now!" the deputy captain replied quickly.
"Boom...ta-da-da..."
As soon as the reinforcements moved, an explosion sounded in front. Three clouds of black smoke rose up on the road. One of the clouds of black smoke was located right in the middle of the reinforcements. Nearly ten imperial soldiers were knocked to the ground by the explosion, and their lives and deaths were uncertain.
Dozens of Eighth Route Army figures appeared in front of the reinforcements. Some were holding rifles, while others were holding light machine guns. They were either hiding behind bushes or hiding behind rocks, shooting desperately at the reinforcements.
There were not many people on the other side, but they caught the reinforcements by surprise, and they were also covered by mortars.
The reinforcements suffered more than twenty casualties in just a few seconds, and half of the infantry squad was wiped out.
The captain saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.
I urgently ordered: "Artillery counterattack, reinforcements rush over, kill all the Eighth Route Army."
It only took a minute for the artillery squadron to start counterattack. Artillery shells flew towards the guerrilla artillery positions and shells hit the guerrilla reinforcements.
The moment black smoke rose into the sky, several guerrillas hiding behind rocks and bushes were blown away...
"Boom boom... boom boom boom..."
After five consecutive rounds of shelling, the reinforcements began to counterattack.
"Sir, the reinforcements are rushing over!" the deputy captain shouted excitedly.
The captain did not show the slightest smile on his face, shook his head, and replied seriously: "It's too late!"
"The forward troops have been killed by the Eighth Route Army. The reinforcements will definitely get nothing if they attack now."
"Send an order for reinforcements: Send a reinforced squadron of the Imperial Army and a battalion of the Imperial Association Army to pursue and kill the Eighth Route Army attacking the forward."
"Other troops continue to advance towards Huaiyuan."
After the defeat just now, the deputy captain no longer dared to look down upon the guerrillas commanded by Peng Shaofeng.
When the captain heard that he would divide his forces to chase them, he quickly reminded: "Sir, think twice, this Eighth Route Army is too weird. It is well-equipped, has sufficient ammunition, and is also equipped with mortars. The equipment is better than most of the main forces. It is not at all
Like the guerrillas. If you only send a reinforced squadron over there, even if you can kill them, you will suffer heavy losses."
"If they are led by the Eighth Route Army and beaten, they may suffer severe losses, and it will also affect our attack on Huaiyuan."
The solemn expression on the captain's face was replaced by confidence at some point, and he looked at the deputy captain and several squadron leaders for answers.
"This Eighth Route Army is indeed well-equipped. The same strength even exceeds the equipment level of the imperial army, but it still cannot change their identity as guerrillas."
"I saw it clearly just now. Facing the artillery shells fired by the imperial army, the Eighth Route Army that was blocking us was blown up on the spot."
"If the opponent were the main force of the Eighth Route Army, they would never be so vulnerable."
"The reason why we were able to kill the forward troops in such a short period of time was because of their well-equipped equipment, sufficient ammunition, and surprise."
"In a real face-to-face fight, our strengthened squadron can definitely suppress them."
"Now that there is an additional battalion of the Imperial Alliance Army, it will not be difficult to eat them. As for the danger, we don't have to worry at all."
The deputy captain only saw the forwards being killed by more than a hundred Eighth Route Army troops in just three minutes. He remembered the powerful firepower they exposed during the attack. As for the small details during the battle, he did not see very clearly.
After being reminded by the team leader, I responded immediately.
If you think about it seriously, it's exactly what the captain said.
Although the equipment of the Eighth Route Army was sophisticated, its combat effectiveness was not very good.
No matter how good the equipment is, it must be used by qualified soldiers to maximize its power. If the soldiers who use the weapons are unqualified, the equipment will be nothing more than a pile of scrap metal, no matter how good it is.
Thinking of this, the deputy captain replied with admiration: "Sir, you are wise. I am humble enough to give orders now."
"Retreat quickly..."
Peng Shaofeng was carrying a newly captured Sanba Gai and ran along the mountain road, shouting at the same time.
The other members of the guerrillas were more or less carrying more weight than before the battle.
Some people were carrying the rifles they had just captured, some were carrying several armed belts with bullet boxes on their backs, and some were carrying the wounded.
Panting heavily, he retreated into the nearby woods.
They looked very embarrassed, but every team member had an uncontrollable smile on their face.
They were so happy.
The guerrillas have been formed for so long and have never fought such a clean and efficient battle.
More than fifty Japanese soldiers were killed as soon as they were told, with less than twenty casualties. In the past, no one would have dared to think of such battle losses and results.
Peng Shaofeng was the happiest. With this victory as the foundation, not only would the morale of the troops rise, but when facing the Japanese again, the combat effectiveness of the troops would definitely become stronger and stronger.
"Captain, there's something going on!" the deputy platoon leader of the fourth platoon rushed over to report.
"The instructor asked me to tell you: the Japanese sent a reinforced squadron and a battalion of the Imperial Army to hunt us down at a very fast pace!"
"Baba...dah...dah..."
As soon as he finished speaking, gunfire rang out behind the guerrillas.
Peng Shaofeng immediately understood what was going on: "The instructor must have gotten into trouble with the Japanese pursuers."
After glancing at the several platoon leaders who gathered quickly, he analyzed seriously.
"With more than five hundred days of puppet troops, the little devils really think highly of us, but the guerrillas are no longer what they used to be. I decided to seize the opportunity to have a good encounter with them again."
"One platoon suffered the most casualties. All the captured and wounded were handed over to the first platoon for further transfer. The others replenished their weapons and ammunition. They took all the captured light machine guns and grenades with them and followed the reinforcement instructor to teach the Japanese pursuers a lesson."
On the road, the captain continued to march toward Huaiyuan on his horse.
As for the chasing troops sent out, the captain has great confidence in them.
However, he ignored a very important fact.
In a frontal attack, no matter how well-equipped the guerrillas are, they will not be able to fully utilize the power of the weapons due to the poor combat effectiveness of the soldiers. A reinforced squadron can indeed suppress them and fight. This is indeed a fact.
But what the guerrillas are good at is guerrilla warfare, not positional warfare.
Guerrilla warfare does not require high quality of soldiers. As long as they can shoot a gun and have enough ammunition, they can use the terrain to trick the Japanese and puppet legions into turning around and keep them from finding their way around.
Fight piecemeal while moving, consuming the enemy's strength bit by bit until you kill them all.
