Zhou Cheng couldn't be happy anymore, and the good mood he brought to him by the successful action last night was gone.

All Japanese and puppet troops within a radius of 30 kilometers were mobilized, and the total strength of more than 4,000 mobile troops from Taiyuan City exceeded 15,000, and there were less than 50 people in his hands. It was obvious that he wanted to destroy himself here.

Although the first platoon of the reconnaissance company and the reconnaissance team are very powerful, the number of people is too small, and the Japanese and puppet troops can drown everyone if they spit.

Unless everyone gives up all the seizures, the troops break into pieces, and break through separately, it will be difficult to escape from this net of heaven and earth.

But Zhou Cheng was unwilling to give up the spoils that everyone had worked hard to seize. Moreover, there were several ordinary people in the team going back to the defense zone together, and the troops could divide their troops to break through, but they couldn't.

Faced with this bad news, Zhou Cheng was not in a mood to greet him. He handed over the supplies to Boss Wang and rushed to the cave where the troops temporarily hid. While walking, he gave orders to the assault team that came over together: "You guys don't go back first, let's set off now, one goes west to investigate, one goes north to investigate, one goes south to the east, and one goes east to the whole world. They all went only ten kilometers. After encountering the enemy, they figured out the situation of the other party and returned. Never alert the snake!"

Back at the cave, Zhou Cheng said the enemy situation and Wang Tieshan became anxious: "Captain, I think the proposal given to us by the Eighth Route Army underground transportation station is very good. While the Japanese and puppet troops have just begun to encircle us, there is still a gap in the encirclement. Now break through and use the fastest speed to break out of the encirclement. Otherwise, after the Japanese and puppet troops are closed, we will not be able to rush out no matter how powerful we are!"

Zhou Cheng did not respond, but asked with a serious look on his face: "Then tell me where to kill the troops and which direction to break through?"

Wang Tieshan was suddenly confused by Zhou Cheng's question, and he didn't know how to answer?

Zhou Cheng had long wanted to cure Wang Tieshan's impulsive character. Seeing that he didn't speak, he cursed without hesitation: "We only know that the Japanese army has dispatched more than 10,000 people to deal with us. How are the more than 10,000 people distributed, which direction to encircle us, what are the equipment, and whether there are cavalry cooperation... I don't know anything."

"Just just lead everyone to break through, wouldn't you go blinded with your eyes? What if you happen to hit the Japanese gun!"

"We are soldiers and can be transferred immediately after an emergency."

"The two gunpowder experts and their families who returned to the defense zone with us are not soldiers. What if they encounter a raid, what will you do if you ask them to? Will they be killed by the Japanese and puppet troops?"

"And the spoils we seized, especially the raw materials that produce gunpowder, cannot even touch a little Mars. If we are attacked, those raw materials are hit by bullets in the battle, they will definitely be destroyed."

"The spoils are gone, and the gunpowder expert we are here to pick up has also happened. So what's the point of our trip to Taiyuan?"

Wang Tieshan was speechless when Zhou Cheng asked, and cold sweat kept coming out, lowering his head and looking ashamed.

I was very grateful that the regiment commander here reminded me that if I led the team independently, I would have taken them off. If it was as the regiment commander judged that the troops happened to hit the Japanese gun, the loss would be great, and it would not be an exaggeration to shoot themselves.

If impulse is Wang Tieshan's biggest shortcoming, then being able to correct mistakes is Wang Tieshan's biggest advantage, otherwise Zhou Cheng would not have chosen him as the captain of the reconnaissance team.

After my proposal was rejected, although I was very ashamed, I quickly adjusted myself to calm myself down, and then ordered: "Then I will arrange for people to investigate the situation now, figure out the distribution of Japanese and puppet troops around, and let everyone be prepared to break through. We will leave when we find a gap and use the fastest speed to break out of the Japanese and puppet troops."

Zhou Cheng gave Wang Tieshan a blank look: "On the way back, I have asked the First Assault Team to investigate. You can immediately organize everyone to pack supplies and prepare for retreat."

"All the seized weapons and ammunition can be divided into all parts, and then all the ammunition will be allocated to everyone."

"I have a very bad feeling that our breakthrough will not go too smoothly tonight!"

At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the four team members who went out to investigate ran back one after another, and the news they brought back was worse than the other.

"Captain, there are at least two brigades of Japanese soldiers and one regiment of Imperial Army moving eastward. They are in a team of forty or fifty people, one hundred meters apart from each other, spreading in a straight line, pushing us directly, and we have no chance to pass through their defense line." The team members reported with a heavy face.

"The Japanese and puppet troops in the south have a total of nearly 4,000 people, and they are also equipped with a cavalry squadron, which is searching towards us in combat formations. Moreover, the Japanese and puppet troops involved in the search are very vigilant. When they encounter suspicious targets, they use machine guns to fire and use grenade launchers. The feasibility of our successful breakthrough from here is zero." Another team member ran over to report.

The four team members did not bring any good news. The more Zhou Cheng listened, the heavier the expression on his face.

Wang Tieshan suddenly spoke: "Captain, the Japanese's reaction speed is too fast. How long does it take to form an encirclement around us. There are ordinary people in our team and very important raw materials, so it is definitely unrealistic to force a breakthrough."

"If we want to take everyone back to the defense zone successfully, we must find another way."

After hearing this, Zhou Cheng's eyes lit up: "The word "finding a different approach is appropriately used."

"The Japanese encirclement has been closed, and it is difficult for the troops to break out of the encirclement quietly."

"So there must be a big battle between us and the Japanese and puppet troops. Only by finding ways to disrupt their arrangements can there be gaps in the encirclement and we will have a chance to break out of the encirclement."

Wang Tieshan likes to fight very much, especially with Zhou Cheng's big battle, not only are there little casualties, but the results are also very big.

When he heard Zhou Cheng say that there was still a big battle here, his eyes began to shine. He looked at Zhou Cheng with a look of eagerness to ask for a fight: "Captain, who will we fight, how will we fight? If there is a combat mission, please give orders. Our reconnaissance team will ensure that it will complete it perfectly."

Zhou Cheng did not talk nonsense and directly started to give orders: "You lead an assault team and a row of reconnaissance companies to attack the Japanese in the south. The more you fight, the better, but you must not fight with them."

"You have the final say when to launch an attack, what equipment to bring, how to fight, and when to end the attack, but you must break out of the Japanese encirclement before 5 a.m. tomorrow!"

"Other troops followed me, we attacked the Japanese and puppet troops in the east, and then broke through with the camera!"

Wang Tieshan immediately understood Zhou Cheng’s thoughts: “Captain, do you want to attack the east and west?”

"No, this cannot be called "striking the east and the west!"

"If you really attack the east and the west, it should be my attack on the Japanese and puppet troops in the south. You quietly broke out from other places."

"But commander, you will also launch an attack on the Japanese and puppet troops in the east, so I don't understand what tactics and tactics are!"

Zhou Cheng had a rare smile on his serious face: "I didn't expect that the tactics and tactics would be right."

"If you know me so well, no one knows what tactics and tactics I will use to deal with the Japanese encirclement tonight. The Japanese commander far away in Taiyuan City must not be able to guess my fighting style. Then they cannot judge the direction of our breakthrough, and they will not be able to concentrate their troops to encircle us."

Wang Tieshan suddenly realized and shouted: "I understand. We neither attacked the east or the east, nor attacked the east. We fought whatever we wanted, so that the Japanese could not tell the direction of our breakthrough and disrupted them. The encirclement will naturally have loopholes that are beneficial to us. Then we stared at there and beat them hard and broke out of the encirclement!"

Among the rolling hills, more than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops were holding torches to search and advance into the depths of the mountains.

Under normal circumstances, the Japanese and puppet troops rarely operate at night, let alone walk on mountain roads at night.

However, in order to settle the attack on the caravan and the artillery attack in Taiyuan as soon as possible, the commander could only go against the norm and let the troops continue to search during the day after dark, further narrow the encirclement and prevent the other party from slipping away under the cover of night.

After searching in the mountains for an afternoon during the day, every soldier was exhausted and panting. Although he knew that the operation was dangerous at night, the leader of the team kept reminding his subordinates to strengthen their vigilance in the middle of the team, as the night became darker and deeper, the vigilance of the troops did not increase. Instead, more and more soldiers began to yawn and wanted to sleep, but could not be cheered up at all.

Because they all held torches, although the night was dark, standing a few hundred meters away, they could still see their figure and equipment clearly.

On a small hill more than 100 meters ahead, three soldiers with the best marksman were lying on the ground, holding the 38th cover that had just been seized yesterday afternoon in their hands. Through the rifle sight, they stared at the Japanese and puppet troops who were constantly approaching the mountain road.

When the vanguard had more than a dozen Japanese and puppet troops left sixty or seventy meters away from them, the high torches illuminated their facial expressions clearly.

It was soon after that, and three riflemen pulled the trigger at the same time.

At the front, the two Japanese and a puppet army fell to the ground without even having time to scream.

The Japanese and puppet troops behind were like a group of hungry wolves who smelled blood. The tired expression on their faces quickly turned into fanaticism. They stared at the high ground where the gun had just been fired. They just waited for the command of the commander to kill the enemy who had found no trace for an afternoon...

The eyes of the Japanese leader of the team leader also began to shine. He felt that he was lucky today and had an excited command: "The enemy we are looking for is hidden on the mountain bag in front!"

"The first team led a squad of the Imperial Army to encircle from the south of the mountain bag, and the second team led a squad of the Imperial Army to encircle from the back. Others rushed over from the front and finally encountered several targets. This time, they could not let them escape no matter what they said. I wanted to see people alive and see corpses when I died."

As soon as the captain's murderous order was released, the gathered team immediately dispersed, and then formed three offensive formations to rush towards the high ground from different directions.

Seeing three attacking troops rushing towards the top of the mountain step by step, the captain's heart also rose to his throat.

Whether the subordinates can kill the enemies who provoked him just now depends on the next half minute.

"Baopao... dada..."

A string of gunfire that was more dense than before suddenly rang out on the high ground, and the captain looked surprised after hearing this.

Because the gunshots were neither from the top of the mountain nor from the attacking troops on the mountainside, but from the back of the mountain bag.

The captain quickly raised his telescope and looked at the detour troops closest to the gun-shooting position.

At this moment, his eyes widened and his mouth opened, showing a stunned and shocked expression.
