Zhangzhuang Town, shrouded in the night, should have been pitch black, but tonight it was brightly lit and warriors holding torches were everywhere, which was very lively.

All this is attributed to a battle that took place more than two hours ago.

After learning that more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops were going back to Donghui Town, Zhou Cheng decisively decided to set up an ambush in the town and eat up the Japanese and puppet troops.

Xiang Feng and Liang Hongjiang were originally opposed, and one of the platoons in the 7th Company had returned to the garrison. The remaining troops, including the guard platoon and the reconnaissance, were less than 150 people, and there was no advantage in the military force in front of this Japanese and puppet army.

If the ambush is not fatal in one blow, the raid will become a fierce battle, with the current combat effectiveness of the Third Battalion, it will definitely be defeated.

But this idea was soon dispelled by Zhou Cheng.

Because the battalion commander decided to use all the light and heavy machine guns seized.

In addition, the battalion commander removed it from tanks and armored vehicles, the troops were equipped with a total of three heavy machine guns and 11 light machine guns...

As long as these light and heavy machine guns are used up, one round of firepower can kill more than half of the Japanese.

Without the support of the Japanese, no matter how many puppet troops there are, they will be a group of sheep, and they will easily be destroyed.

He did it as soon as he said that the Japanese and puppet troops returning to Zhangzhuang Town were in front of the Japanese and puppet troops, and after the puppet troops carried the wounded, Zhou Cheng concentrated all the light and heavy machine guns at the innermost part of the town.

Three heavy machine guns are used as fixed firepower points on the commanding heights of the Japanese's must-pass path, and box cannons and light machine guns are used as submachine guns, and are equipped with raid troops.

As soon as the heavy machine gun fired, the commando holding the light machine gun and holding the box cannon immediately rushed out of the hiding point, launched an assault on the Japanese, and shot while rushing...

The result was obvious: more than 70 Japanese, three heavy machine guns killed more than a dozen machine gunners and gunners in one round of strafing, and eleven light machine guns and six box cannons killed twenty or thirty. The remaining Japanese were either mixed with the puppet army and not yet ready to attack, or they reacted too quickly and were suppressed by the heavy machine guns and could not move.

The Japanese lying on the ground was quickly killed by the soldiers who assaulted. The Japanese mingled among the puppet army saw that the situation was not good, so they took advantage of the chaos of the puppet army and chose to break through immediately and escaped from the town by chance.

"Battery Commander, the battlefield has been cleaned up and we have won a great victory. In addition to the dozen Japanese and fleeing soldiers who broke through and fled, all the other Japanese and puppet troops were wiped out by us, and 71 puppet troops were captured!" Xiang Fengxing hurried over to report.

The old men who followed Zhou Cheng knew that the puppet army captives were the best source of troops, and they could participate in the battle by replenishing the troops.

Just now, 71 puppet troops were captured in one battle. If they could understand their ideological work, they could easily mobilize more than 40 prisoners to join the National Salvation Army.

I was also very happy to see Zhou Cheng, and Xiang Feng continued to report: "There are also a lot of seizures!"

"Because the battle ended very quickly, the Japanese were killed before they could destroy their weapons. Almost all the weapons and ammunition they equipped with were seized by us, and they were intact and could be equipped with troops directly."

"In total, one mortar was found, a Type 92 heavy machine gun, three crooked handles, three grenade launchers, 29 38 large covers, 81 made in Hanyang, and one made in Czech."

"It's just that there are not many ammunitions, and each gun has an average of less than thirty bullets, and each grenade and grenade are less than one."

"It's already a lot!" Zhou Cheng's satisfied smile became stronger.

"We seized all the supplies and ammunition brought out of the county by the Japanese and puppet troops here. The ammunition they carried with us was fired in the mountains for a day and a night. It was good enough to have this ammunition left."

"Let the soldiers lead the capture and withdraw from Zhangzhuang Town within half an hour."

Xiang Feng nodded, but did not act immediately, but stared at Zhou Cheng with anticipation and asked: "Battery Commander, how can we fight next?"

Zhou Cheng did not intend to conceal his next combat plan, and watched Xiang Feng blurt out.

"Land around between the county town and Zhangzhuang Town, and attack all ammunition supplies sent to Zhangzhuang Town by the county town!"

"The Japanese and puppet troops in the mountains have no ammunition, and evacuating the mountains is their only choice."

"We moved all the people in the town, so they would not be able to get supplies locally."

"Either withdraw the troops or ask the county town to send them ammunition supplies."

"There are still seven or eight hundred Japanese and puppet troops in the mountains, so I will definitely not be willing to retreat and end the battle just like this."

"They will most likely choose the second route: stationed in Zhangzhuang Town, ask the county town to send them ammunition supplies, and then continue to attack the National Salvation Army."

"If we can intercept all the ammunition supplies given to Zhangzhuang Town by the county town and completely cut off food on the front line, then they will not be able to retreat without retreating!"

Xiang Feng's eyes had already begun to shine.

Compared with attacking the main Japanese troops, it is not only easier to attack the baggage team, but also captured a lot.

At 10 o'clock the next morning, Akiyama Nakasa brought his troops back to Zhangzhuang Town.

When I entered the town, I saw dozens of naked corpses, with nothing but a piece of underwear.

Akiyama Nakasa's face sank instantly, his fists were pinching tightly, his nails were almost pinching into his flesh, trembling constantly, and he was very angry.

"Sir, there is not a single person in the town!" The team leader who entered Zhangzhuang Town in advance reported while gasping for breath.

Seeing the captain's words not speaking and his eyes were red, he realized that he was not the time to come, so he quickly lowered his head and retreated aside, hoping that his words had not angered him.

"The National Salvation Army is too arrogant!" Akiyama Nakasa gritted his teeth and shouted these words.

"It's so disgusting that the corpses of the Imperial Army are so humiliating that they don't even let go of the military uniforms they are wearing. It's so disgusting. I must catch them and chop them all into meat paste."

"The troops entered Zhangzhuang Town and immediately sent a telegram to the county town, asking them to send us food and ammunition supplies."

"The cavalry squadron and reconnaissance troops are all sent out. We must find the National Salvation Army that attacks Zhangzhuang Town."

At Akiyama Nakasa gave the order, the Japanese were running quickly like a clockwork machine.

In less than five minutes, more than sixty cavalrymen dispersed.

The remaining infantry were not idle either, so they quickly entered Zhangzhuang Town to establish a defense line...

At the command center of the Japanese garrison, the squadron leader who was left behind here was paced back and forth in the room, considering the telegram sent by the brigade leader just now.

The five-day combat supplies of nearly a thousand troops, including nearly a hundred war horses for five days, requires twenty large carts to be loaded at one time.

The big cart is easy to solve. The county town is so big that you can get it all.

What made him most difficult was the escort army.

In order to gather heavy troops to attack the National Salvation Army, Akiyama Nakasa drew almost all the troops that could be drawn from the city.

If there are too many escort troops, the city defense will definitely have loopholes.

The escort troops were sent in less, and twenty large trucks of food and supplies were likely to have an accident on the road.

The telegram made it clear that the National Salvation Army lurked an unknown unit outside the mountain, with strong combat power and had to guard against it.
