Although the unexpected occurrence caused a lot of changes in the battle to defend the city, it did not have any impact on the entire battle situation after the registrar's handling.

After the commander of the corps gave the order, the command center returned to peace and waited for the arrival of the final moment of decisive battle.

On a wasteland less than two kilometers away from the county town, the main force of the National Salvation Army, the artillery battalion, the guard battalion, the cavalry troops commanded by Tao Yongsheng... are all gathered here, waiting for the Japanese and puppet army counterattack troops to fall into the trap.

It was almost five o'clock when the Japanese and puppet army counterattack troops appeared at the end of the vision of the regiment commander Zhou Cheng.

They held torches and weapons and ammunition, and slowly advanced, without any rush.

He Feng squatted beside Zhou Cheng, and after seeing this, he couldn't help complaining: "Captain, these Japanese and puppet troops are too procrastinating. Aren't they worried that they would go too late and that the county town was captured by us, and they would have a waste of time?"

Zhou Cheng shook his head and retorted: "If you really think this way, you're a big mistake. The commander of the Japanese and puppet army is very smart, because only smart people will march like this."

"If our national-savior army can really capture Shouyang in a short period of time, it means that our overall strength is not as weak as they imagined. If we rashly hit the battlefield, the large counterattack may turn into a stalemate, and we may suffer a big loss in our hands."

"There is no risk when you walk slowly. The longer the siege battle in Shouyang lasts, the more it means that our national-savior army is weak and cannot take down the county town in a short period of time. The Japanese and puppet army counterattack troops do not have to worry about being ambushed in Shouyang."

"In addition, there are two other benefits to walking like this: the longer they delay on the march, the greater the loss of the National Salvation Army in the siege battle, and the easier it will be for the next counterattack after they reach the battlefield."

"The second advantage is that the weather is, are you almost dawning if you don't notice it?"

"For the Japanese and puppet troops, they definitely prefer to fight during the day, so that our troops will be completely exposed to their noses and there is no secret. If they encounter a hard bone during the counterattack, they can also transfer planes to attack us."

After hearing this, He Feng couldn't help but exclaim: "I learned it today. I didn't expect there were so many things here. The Japanese commander was really cunning."

Zhou Cheng replied without caring: "The other party is indeed a very powerful commander, but no matter how cunning the enemy is, he is no match for the hunter. Let everyone prepare for battle, and the guards are about to fight with the Japanese and puppet troops."

"Especially artillery and cavalry, we must attack as planned. If we take action, we must completely defeat the Japanese and puppet troops in front of us and prevent them from gathering together to counterattack us."

"Da da da...slap..."

As soon as the order was spoken out from Zhou Cheng's mouth, a gunshot came from seven or eight hundred meters ahead.

That was the sound of two crooked handles shooting together with more than a dozen rifles.

As soon as the gunshots sounded, the Japanese and puppet troops advancing along the highway became in chaos, especially the Japanese and puppet troops who were directly attacked.

Seeing that six or seven people fell down around him instantly, there were two Japanese soldiers who were supervising the battle. The Japanese were not in trouble, so they lay down as soon as possible, then picked up their rifles and fought back.

The puppet army did not have that fast reaction speed.

Especially those timid soldiers, not only did not lie on the ground at the first time, but also turned into frightened rabbits, holding guns and running to other places, trying to stay away from the corpses and wounded on the ground.

It was not until the curses of the Japanese and officers reached their ears that the puppet soldiers calmed down from the panic and finally lay on the ground with a panic expression...

The raid came very quickly and ended very quickly.

The Japanese nearby quickly set up the light and heavy machine guns and were preparing to counterattack, the gunshots stopped all at once.

The Japanese commander who commanded the counterattack troops was a Zhongzuo. When the vanguard troops were attacked, they raised their telescopes and saw the scene of the sneak attack troops retreating.

More than 20 soldiers of the National Salvation Army, holding light machine guns, holding rifles, bent down, and quickly retreated towards the county town under the cover of the terrain...

Nakasa's eyes kept following them.

When it was about to disappear, a reflection caught Zhong Zuo's attention.

After staring at the reflective position just now, Nakazo put down the telescope, and his face became more serious than before, and he frowned and said!

"The National Salvation Army is building a blocking position five hundred meters ahead. Unexpectedly, the National Salvation Army is so cautious and actually sent troops to protect its back!"

The lower part of his body became tight and he asked anxiously: "What should I do?"

"Just just now, the National Salvation Army took the initiative to attack us, which means they already knew our existence and must have sent a messenger to inform their main force. If we are stopped here, the National Salvation Army attacking Shouyang will definitely take the opportunity to retreat and escape from our noses."

Nakasa replied confidently: "What's the hurry?"

"Although there are national-savior troops ahead of us, they don't have much force, and they have just started digging trenches. They must not be able to repair them in a hurry. If you want to block us, it's still too tender."

"As long as we quickly break through the blocking position of the National Rescue Army, we will march to Shouyang and even if the National Rescue Army there knows our existence half an hour in advance, it will be too late to retreat!"

"Order the 25th Regiment of the Imperial Army and the Second Squadron of the Imperial Army to immediately launch an attack on the blocking positions of the National Savior Army. I will use my superiority to attack in one attack and wipe out the National Savior Army that is blocking us."

"The other troops followed the attacking troops, and the troops were slightly concentrated. The attacking troops took the blocking positions and rushed over and marched directly to Shouyang to participate in the battle."

Under normal circumstances, the puppet army's reaction to the war was very slow, especially when they knew they were going to the battlefield, they would be slow if they could.

But this time is an exception.

It's hard to be unhappy if you're being pushed by more than a hundred bright bayonets on the back.

In just one minute, more than a thousand Japanese and puppet troops were ready for attack.

The rifle was in his hand, the light machine gun was held in his arms, and he was unwilling to rush to the blocking position of the National Rescue Army.

Because there were too many troops involved in the attack, the National Salvation Army blocked them at most only one company, and the blocking position was less than two hundred meters long, resulting in the Japanese and puppet troops' attack formations that were very dense, almost reaching the point where people were approaching.

Nakasa followed the attacking troops with the remaining two thousand men. They lined up in dense marching formations and were ready to march forward at any time, and the distance between the soldiers and the soldiers was closer.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Cheng smiled.

If you want to use the artillery advantage in your hand, cause the greatest damage to the Japanese and puppet troops in the shortest time and bombard them, you must find a way to gather the Japanese and puppet troops together. Otherwise, a round of volleys from the artillery battalion can cover hundreds of Japanese and puppet troops. The Japanese and puppet troops that are not covered by artillery fire will not be affected and can be dispersed and transferred at any time.

Zhou Cheng thought of fighting and blocking.

Although the Japanese and puppet troops wanted to spend more time on the road, if the news of their existence was known in advance by the National Salvation Army, in order to avoid being attacked from the front and back, they would definitely temporarily evacuate the battlefield, and they would be in a state of vacancies in Shouyang.

The Japanese definitely don't want to be useless. Knowing that there is a national rescue army blocking force ahead, they will become anxious.

In order to quickly break through the blocking position, march to Shouyang quickly and not give the siege troops the chance to evacuate the battlefield, the easiest and direct way is to gather heavy troops to launch an attack and rely on the advantage of force to quickly seize the blocking position.

The counterattack troops were mainly puppet troops. The purpose of the Japanese army to fight this battle was to use the puppet troops to consume a large amount of national rescue troops, so they would definitely attack like this.

Now the Japanese and puppet troops attack the blocking positions according to the script planned by Zhou Cheng, and then it is the artillery troops' turn to go!

"Boom...Woooo..." The sound of fire fired quickly sounded behind me, and then a very harsh whistle sounded above my head, which was the sound of mountain cannons and shells passing through the sky.

"Boom boom boom..." Zhou Cheng quickly looked at the Japanese and puppet troops in front. Balls of orange-red fireballs were like fireworks, rising from the ground, very dazzling.

In the splashing flames, the five Japanese gathered together were blown away at the same time. The two Japanese were particularly unlucky and were dismembered into several pieces by shells in the air.

When you go up to heaven, you can still see your personal figure, but when you land, you have turned into minced flesh and broken limbs and broken arms...

A mountain cannon shell was also smashed by Nakasa, and the heated air wave rushed towards him, which made his ears buzzing. It took him a long time to react.

The guards around him were anxious, afraid that the captain would have any accidents in this shelling attack.

The personal guard rushed towards him without hesitation, and used his body to form a circle of flesh around the captain. Two of the guards were carrying him on the left and right and ran to the side of the road.

All the fireballs exploded from the shells were concentrated along the highway. The fool knew that the farther away from the highway, the safer the safer. The guards who followed the captain were all veterans of the hundred battles, so they must know this common sense.

As soon as the captain ran, the other Japanese in front, back and left and right also ran to the road...

"Boom boom boom..." The second round of shells quickly fell from the sky, basically mortar shells that were killed by fragments.

In the flames, many Japanese and puppet troops who had just fled the road were blown up and fell to the ground and disappeared.

At this time, the living Japanese and puppet troops realized another problem.

There were too many shells smashed from the sky, and the formation of the troops was very dense. If a shell exploded, five or six Japanese around would be blown up, and there would be too many casualties.

In order to reduce casualties in the bombardment, the team must be dispersed immediately.

"Everyone is dispersed immediately and move separately in combat teams!" Some fast-responsive squadron captains and squadron captains ordered.

The Japanese officer who reacted a little slower followed the order. The puppet army officers who were following the Japanese leader saw the Japanese do this, and they also ordered their subordinates to disperse, although there were many officers inside for no reason.

As a result, the more than 3,000 Japanese and puppet troops gathered along the highway instantly turned into a sprinkled bean, which became more and more scattered...
