The War of Resistance

In fact, neither Mo Jianchen nor Wu Ziqi noticed it, or they could not hear the gunshots nearby, and there had been no gunshots in the distance for a while.

Nearly a hundred Japanese soldiers were in a scattered formation, surrounding the outside of a circular hill.

Then the problem came.

No matter how small the circular hill is, the outer edge will never be small. How could nearly a hundred Japanese soldiers surround this hill?

But the Japanese army surrounded it!

Their soldiers were all scattered, with a distance of more than ten meters between the closest ones and forty or fifty meters between the far ones, and each of them seemed to be fighting alone.

However, there were more than two hundred puppet soldiers behind the Japanese army, but the puppet soldiers were gathered together, and it was really because of their lack of combat effectiveness that they would huddle together for warmth.

The Japanese and puppet soldiers were three or four hundred meters away from the hill, and all the rifles in their hands were aimed at the low hill in front.

However, no matter how many soldiers were surrounded, they could not see who was on the hill in front.

It would be fine if there were only bare areas with short grass that could not hide people. Even in areas with bushes and trees, the Japanese and puppet troops had been observing for some time and there was no one there either.

However, their commander, the wounded Japanese officer, firmly believed that the person he wanted to kill, Shang Zhen, was among these hills!

Because a Japanese signalman sent him a letter from Shuiquan Town, the Shang Zhen they were going to kill this time was outside Shuiquan Town.

Considering the resistance they had encountered in this area, the Japanese commander had every reason to believe that Shang Zhen was already in his encirclement.

And the reason why he dared to disperse all his soldiers and even fight alone was because of two reasons.

First, he firmly believed that the soldiers led by Shang Zhen would never exceed one platoon.

If he was not familiar with Shang Zhen's tactics at the beginning, at least now, he thought he knew it well.

Since his team was attacked by the Northeast Army, they have been attacked by small forces. The firepower of the attack hurt them a lot, but the results they achieved were very small.

After dealing with the endless small attacks, he finally caught Shang Zhen's shadow and trapped him between the hills. How could he let him escape?

Second, he has full confidence in the combat ability of his men.

The Japanese Imperial Army under his command are all veterans, and their individual combat capabilities are very strong.

Judging from previous battles, even if a considerable number of squadron leaders, deputy team leaders, squad leaders, squad leaders, and sergeants were killed, even if the commander himself unfortunately died, the soldiers would still fight.

And this time he also gave an order, that is, the number of Chinese soldiers killed will be counted as merit!

From the news they got from the Japanese Imperial Army, Shang Zhen and his men killed too many elites of the Japanese Empire Army.

The Japanese high-level officials only recently learned that there was a team like Shang Zhen, and they were naturally furious when they knew it.

So this time, the Japanese army's coming to rob food was just a cover. Their real purpose was to annihilate Shang Zhen's troops.

To put it another way, even if a few escaped, if most of them could be annihilated, it would be a great achievement.

Now the Japanese commander is waiting for the troops attacking Shuiquan Town to withdraw.

But at this time, he became impatient when he heard the increasingly fierce gunfire from the direction of Shuiquan Town.

Only then did he realize that there must be a lot of Chinese troops in Shuiquan Town!

However, if we understand it from the opposite perspective, the more intense the gunfire in Shuiquan Town, doesn't it prove that Shang Zhen's group is not many!

After thinking for a while, the Japanese commander finally decided to take action.

So he waved his uninjured left hand and soldiers came. He gave an order and the signalman ran in the direction of the puppet army.

At this time, Shang Zhen was with Cheng Peng, Qian Chuan'er and several platoon leaders. They were lying behind the ridge of the hill and whispering and discussing.

Shang Zhen naturally had his own judgment on the battle situation.

His advantage was that the Japanese and puppet troops should not know that he actually had half a battalion of troops. If he used them properly, he should be able to deal a huge blow to the Japanese and puppet troops.

The puppet troops and the Japanese troops were in a relationship, but not in spirit. If he could grasp this point, at least those puppet troops would not become a helper for the Japanese troops.

His disadvantage was that he did not have as many troops as the Japanese and puppet troops, and the quality of the soldiers could not catch up with them. Now he could not make a hard breakout. If he did, he would suffer losses.

However, Shang Zhen also guessed that the remaining Japanese and puppet troops had already rushed to Shuiquan Town, and once the Japanese and puppet troops on the other side turned around, they would also form a joint attack on their half battalion.

If that were the case, they might not be able to break out of the enemy's encirclement.

So the Japanese commander was thinking of a way, and Shang Zhen was also thinking of a way.

So what kind of solution did Shang Zhen come up with?

This can be seen from the surprised eyes of Cheng Peng and Qian Chuan'er looking at him. Shang Zhen's idea this time is a bit unexpected.

"What do you think of my idea?" Shang Zhen looked at his men after he finished speaking.

Cheng Peng, Qian Chuan'er and the others looked at each other. After a while, Cheng Peng said, "We will fight as you say. We will do it.

But you have to think about it. If we concentrate our forces to break through now, there should not be too many casualties.

But if we follow your trick, it is hard to say what will happen."

After Cheng Peng finished speaking, he looked at Qian Chuan'er and the others. They didn't say anything and just looked at him and Shang Zhen. But it was obvious that what Cheng Peng said was exactly what they were worried about.

Shang Zhen didn't say anything. He was silent for a while before he said, "It turns out that when there were only seven or eight people like me and Uncle Wang and Chen Hanwen, I always felt that I was too weak.

I knew that the Japanese devils were harming the people, but because my strength was too small, I couldn't do anything, or what I could do was very limited.

For example, if there were still a few people now, I would have to run away when I saw a large group of little devils and second devils.

But it's different now.

I am at least a battalion commander, and I have hundreds of people under me, so I think we should be able to do something bigger. things, we can kill more enemies and protect more civilians.

Otherwise, what's the point of being a battalion commander?

Don't think that there are too many Japanese this time. As long as we injure and maim a group of them, they may not dare to stay in Shuiquan Town.

In fact, this group of Japanese is also a lone army, but our own strength is very limited. But don't forget that there are the Eighth Route Army and Zhao Tieying's regiment around. Do the Japanese really dare to stay here for a long time? "

"How do you know that Zhao Tieying is nearby?" Cheng Peng and Qian Chuan'er were surprised.

"I haven't told you that I met Zhao Mingxuan and others in the town.

Zhao Mingxuan led his men into Shuiquan Town. Do you think Zhao Tieying will be far away?

If we can cripple this group of Japanese, do you think our commander Zhao will miss this opportunity to make meritorious service?" Shang Zhen said.

"Wouldn't that be a bargain for Zhao Tieying?" Qian Chuan'er was a little dissatisfied.

"It doesn't matter who fights the Japanese devils?" Shang Zhen laughed. He also felt that this statement was a bit too high-minded. Then he added, "No matter what merits he has, as long as I am not under his command, how can he become a division commander?

Besides, is the regiment commander a very important official? There are too many of them, and he is the first batch."

Shang Zhen used one word to replace another, and those who understand will naturally understand.

"Since you say so, let's fight, but even if Zhao Tieying can take advantage of the situation, we can't suffer too much loss." Cheng Peng expressed his position.

Others naturally said yes.

Next, when Shang Zhen and his men were arranging their troops in the hilly circle with the hills as cover, the pseudo-corps commander was called in front of the Japanese commander.

"You guys, attack!" The Japanese commander pointed at the hills and said to the regiment commander.

What else can the regiment commander do except imitate the Japanese "Hi"?

But as he bent down to bow, he felt puzzled. If the Japanese ordered his troops to attack, then they should attack. Why didn't they just send a messenger to pass the order? Why did they specially call him over?

And then he got the answer to his confusion, because when he straightened his back, the Japanese commander said, "You, stay here."

The puppet army commander's face changed.
