It is very appropriate to use the two guerrilla squadrons under the National Salvation Army.

With the support of Zhou Cheng, the two guerrilla squadrons joined forces to capture a Japanese and puppet army stronghold and occupy a town. They not only seized a large amount of supplies, weapons and ammunition, but also captured many imperial army and traitors!

After mobilization, at least half of the prisoners took the initiative to join the National Salvation Army to fight the Japanese.

In addition to the new recruits they recruited in their own defense areas, the two guerrilla squadrons directly expanded to 200 people, including heavy machine guns and mortars, and a veritable strengthening company organization.

Two days ago, the guerrillas that had been developing in their own defense zone suddenly received the order from Zhou Cheng: "All the main forces were dispatched, and they hid in the surrounding area of ​​Pingding County overnight and stood on standby, and attacked the county's baggage team that transported ammunition supplies to the front line.

So, more than 300 people from the two guerrilla squadrons hid in a ravine three kilometers away from the county town. Except for the large number of Japanese and puppet troops who broke out of the county town yesterday morning and headed straight to the national rescue army's garrison, the two gates of the county town were all closed and no Japanese and puppet troops entered and left.

Neither of the two squadron leaders had just started on the battlefield, so they were not in a hurry at all: the Japanese and puppet troops brought a large amount of ammunition when they left the city, and they only set out yesterday. There would definitely be no shortage of ammunition in the previous few days, and the county town would not transport them ammunition supplies.

Just when they thought there would be no movement in the county town today, a squad leader who was monitoring the county town ran back and was very anxious to report.

"Captain, the Japanese in the city are out!"

"I dragged seven big trucks out of the city, and there were boxes piled up on it, and it looked like they were ammunition."

"When you leave the city gate, you will march eastward and return to the town quickly, because each cart is pulled by two mules and horses, and the speed is very fast!"

Liu Shuihe was the captain of the first guerrilla squadron, and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind: the regiment commander was so powerful that he had to hit the Japanese ammunition in just one day, and he had to transfer ammunition from the county town to support the front line.

Luo Tianyu was the captain of the second squadron, and the same thoughts came to his mind. He looked at Liu Shuihe for a moment, and saw shock and surprise in the other party's eyes.

Liu Shuihe was the first to react and immediately asked the squad leader: "How many people are there in the escort army?"

"Not many! There are less than thirty Japanese and a platoon of puppet troops, equipped with two light machine guns, without other heavy weapons!" The reconnaissance squad leader thought for a while and answered very seriously.

"Is the Japanese crazy with such a small army? They are not worried that the seven big cars will be intercepted by us on the road!" Luo Tianyu also reacted from the shock, looking at the reconnaissance squad leader and asked with disbelief.

Liu Shuihe frowned and fell into deep thought. After half a minute, he suddenly reacted and his eyes lit up and explained: "Captain Luo, the Japanese are not crazy. I know why they only sent these troops to escort seven big cars!"

"I remember the order the regiment commander gave us said that before sending troops, there were more than 4,000 Japanese and puppet troops in the city. Yesterday morning, more than 3,000 people were dispatched to attack the National Salvation Army. The county town had a maximum of 800 people left. If there were more escort troops sent out, there would be no troops in the city!"

"So it's good that the Japanese can send more than fifty people out. This is the fat meat delivered to their mouths and must be eaten!"

"I suggest that our two squadrons each dispatch two platoons, strengthen two light machine guns, and quickly defeat this transport team."

Luo Tianyu nodded in agreement and thought for a while, and suggested: "Otherwise, the heavy machine gun equipped by the Second Squadron has not really fired so far!"

Liu Shuihe shook his head: "There are less than thirty Japanese opponents, so it's not worth our heavy machine guns."

"And only using a crawler can hide our strength, making the Japanese despise us, thinking that we don't have heavy weapons. Although the escort forces will be strengthened, the number will not increase too much. Maybe there will be a chance to intercept the transport team again!"

Luo Tianyu nodded: "You are the commander-in-chief appointed by the regiment commander. I will listen to you. You can hit me whatever you say!"

On the battlefield of Donghui Town, the second attack of the Third Infantry Squadron began.

Following the safe passage that the mortar squadron bombed them, the troops attacked very smoothly, only two landmines that escaped, with less than ten casualties, and then successfully seized the second blocking position in one go.

The result was once again disappointed the brigade leader: the second line of defense was even empty than the first line of defense. Not only was the body of the National Savior Army not found, but there was not even a bullet shell found.

The brigade commander became more and more angry. He felt that he had been fooled by the National Rescue Army, and he might not have the National Rescue Army on the third line of defense.

In order to prove my judgment, I ordered it as soon as possible: "The Third Squadron will send out two combat units and immediately launch a tentative attack on the third line of defense of the National Savior Army. I suspect that the National Savior Army on the position will run away."

"Architecture, heavy machine gun troops, and aviation troops provide fire cover to the offensive troops at any time..."

More than ten minutes later, the test troops successfully rushed into the third line of defense of the National Rescue Army...

Half an hour later, the test troops successfully stood on the fourth line of defense of the National Salvation Army...

Half an hour later, the brigade commander had already stood at the entrance of the empty National Salvation Army.

The Chief of Staff hurried over with a very bad look: "Sir, we searched all over the town and found no Chinese. They were all transferred in advance by the National Rescue Army!"

"Research Force Report: When our army attacked Donghui Town, a large number of national rescue troops operating in squads appeared behind Donghui Town. They believed that they were the remnants of the national rescue troops who were disbanded, so they did not report to us."

"The judgement of the humble rank: those so-called remnants are the main force of the National Savior Army that blocked our position on the main force. They only appeared after the aviation army arrived at the battlefield, so the main force of the National Savior Army began to retreat at that time!"

The brigade commander was so angry that his face turned red and cursed without hesitation: "Bageya Road, the National Rescue Army has run away. What's the use of saying this now?"

"Send all the reconnaissance troops and cavalry troops immediately to find the retreat direction of the National Salvation Army. I must destroy them all..."

More than an hour later, the Chief of Staff appeared again in front of the brigade commander.

Compared to the past, my face is much better now: "Report to the chief, we have found the National Salvation Army evacuated from Donghui Town."

"They entered the mountains in the southeast, where the cavalry squadrons found traces left by a large number of troops when they marched."

"What time is it now?" The brigade leader strode to the map, glanced at the location marked by the Chief of Staff and asked.

"Half eleven!" the chief of staff replied, looking at the watch.

The brigade commander's eyes remained on the map, and he was looking and analyzing: "We sent a telegram to Pingding at around 9 o'clock, asking them to march quickly to send us ammunition. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be delivered in another one and a half hours!"

"Order the troops to rest on site for half an hour, then have a meal, and wait until the ammunition supply sent to us by the county town is in place, and set out into the mountain to continue chasing and killing the national rescue army."

"Bailout team, infantry artillery squad, all the wounded stayed in Donghui Town, and other troops followed me into the mountains."

"All mountain cannons are dismantled and transported by mules and horses."

"Each soldier carries three days of combat supplies, and all the shells needed by the artillery are changed to mules and horses transported, and all the mules and horses that are pulled by the baggage team..."

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese army was ready to attack.

The four mountain cannons were dismantled into more than ten parts and placed on the backs of mules, horses and horses. The brigade commander stood at the entrance of the town and looked forward to waiting for the ammunition supply sent by the county town.

"The cavalry squadron sent a few cavalry to greet him and let the transport team go faster. I'm in a hurry!" The brigade commander was a little impatient and raised his orders.

In less than a minute, three cavalrymen rode their horses out of the town and disappeared at the end of the official road in the blink of an eye.

In the eyes of the brigade commander, even if the ammunition supply sent by the county town was still on the road, it was not far from the east to return to the town. The cavalry went over and urged them to come back in at most ten minutes.

But after the time came, the brigade commander did not see the shadow of the cavalry!

"Is there something wrong with the transportation team? It's still far from the east to return to town!" A bad premonition flashed in the mind of the brigade commander.

Half an hour passed, and the three cavalry had not returned yet.

The brigade commander's bad premonition is getting stronger and stronger.

Under normal circumstances, cavalry can run about fifteen to twenty kilometers in half an hour, which means no transport team was found on the official road within ten kilometers of Donghui Town, otherwise the cavalry would definitely come back to report after urging them.

Ten minutes later, the brigade commander finally heard the sound of horse hooves and stared at the figures of cavalry appearing at the end of the official road until they ran to the entrance of the town.

The three cavalrymen turned over and fell off their horses, panting and running towards them.

When there were five or six meters left, the cavalry leader Cao, who led the team, couldn't help but report.

"Report to the commander, something happened to the transport team twelve kilometers away from Donghui Town!"

The brigade commander was stunned and asked with disbelief.

"Nani? Didn't the National Salvation Army be forced into the mountains by us? Why are there any enemies between the county town and Donghui Town? Tell me clearly, what happened to the transportation team?"

The first time the cavalry commander Cao had approached such a high-level officer as a brigade commander, he immediately became nervous when facing his questioning and spoke a little unscrupulously.

"Sir...we found more than twenty bodies of the Imperial Army and the Imperial Army on... about twelve kilometers away from here. Judging from the traces left by the battlefield, they were raided by a company!"

"The enemy is equipped with many light machine guns, but there are no heavy weapons."

"The living Royal Army and the ammunition they transported were intercepted by all the enemies, leaving nothing behind!"

The chief of staff frowned and analyzed: "Sir, did the National Salvation Army arrange troops to lurk between Donghui Town and the county before we launched the attack!"

The brigade commander nodded silently and replied solemnly: "It's not that there is no possibility. Our opponent is too cunning. The combat method is very similar to the Eighth Route Army we encountered before. The Eighth Route Army often forces us to retreat by cutting off our logistics supply line. The National Rescue Army is likely to do this."
