After fighting the traitors, holding the public trial meeting, and after distributing the food, the guerrillas were ready to retreat and fight to the next target.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I met Tang Shengbo, the reconnaissance squad leader who was breathing: "Captain, the Japanese and puppet troops in the county have sent troops again!"

"The puppet troops of the two companies did not carry heavy weapons and marched towards us in a hurry!"

"Are the Japanese crazy?" Zhou Cheng was stunned for a moment and shouted in confusion.

"We just ate one of their infantry companies, and in less than a day, they sent out two companies. They are not afraid that our old trick will repeat and eat these two companies in one bite."

Tang Shengbo shook his head: "I don't know what the devils are doing!"

"The county town is almost out of troops, so I dare to send troops outside the city."

Liang Hongjiang reminded with a worried look: "Captain, the county town has sent troops to us again, so why didn't the troops they arranged on the front line move?"

"The deputy instructor has only one platoon and has to protect the wounded. There are more than 200 Japanese soldiers entering the mountain. If they do not divide their troops to reinforce Zhangzhuang Town, the deputy instructor and the left-behind troops will definitely be under great pressure!"

Zhou Cheng began to worry after hearing this.

The third row bluffed outside the city of Pingding. Here he attacked the stronghold and killed traitors. He made such a big move, and the purpose was to force the Japanese back from the front line.

If the other party is not deceived, the army's efforts and efforts over the past two days will be in vain.

Fortunately, this worry didn't last long.

On another road in the village, two guerrillas from Jinshan ran towards the entrance of the village, one after another, panting.

Before the person arrived, the excited report had already reached Zhou Cheng's ears.

"Report to the captain, the Japanese in the mountains have divided their troops."

"At ten o'clock last night, hundreds of Japanese devils secretly escaped from the sweeping troops and retreated. After meeting dozens of Japanese devils at the mountain pass, they rushed to fight towards Zhangzhuang Town."

"The two Japanese soldiers have a total of more than 150 people, equipped with two mortars, two heavy machine guns, six light machine guns, and six grenade launchers, and no puppet troops follow."

The worry on Zhou Cheng's face instantly disappeared, and he suddenly realized and shouted: "I know why the Japanese in the county still rushed to send troops here. It turned out that there were Japanese people returning to the front line to support them."

"If the two troops successfully merge, the total strength of the Japanese and puppet troops will exceed 350."

"We are in many hills and it's hard to find a hiding place. Once exposed, our strength is not enough for them to get stuck."

Liang Hongjiang also breathed a sigh of relief. Before the worry on his face disappeared, he heard what the captain had in his words and asked quickly: "Captain, what you mean is that we will defeat each of them before the Japanese and puppet troops gathered, and destroy their attacking edge."

Zhou Cheng nodded: "That's what it means!"

"You send someone to notify Xiang Feng immediately. You don't need any seized food and finance for the time being. You will come here to meet me in a hurry, otherwise you will be engaged in military law."

After saying that, he turned his attention to Tang Shengbo and continued to order: "You go back now, continue to stare at Pingding County, and report to me as soon as possible if there is any situation."

"By the way, notify Chen Zhengyu that his mission outside the city has been completed, and he will immediately bring the troops and all weapons and ammunition to Zhangzhuang Town to meet me."

"The Japanese on the front line have divided their troops, and it is no longer meaningful to continue staying outside Pingding City. It is better to come here to help me fight the Japanese."

The puppet army walked the official road faster.

When they were about to reach Zhangzhuang Town, the Japanese were still more than ten kilometers away.

Zhou Cheng decided to use this time difference to give the puppet army a wake-up call.

Yesterday, time was tight, and the guerrillas had to divide their troops to put some pressure on the artillery tower. They could not concentrate all their troops and firepower. They could only quickly force the puppet troops to retreat through blocking wars, and end the battle quickly.

It's different today.

The distance of more than ten kilometers means that Zhou Cheng has two hours to deal with the puppet army.

Within these two hours, all the troops and firepower in hand could be concentrated on the puppet army without any worries.

Dongpoling, the battlefield chosen by Zhou Cheng for the puppet army.

The guerrillas killed a company of puppet troops here yesterday. According to normal thinking, the enemy would definitely not have expected that the guerrillas would set up a second ambush in the same place.

Zhou Cheng decided to be surprised, but he just attacked them again here.

Disappointedly, the troops waited here for almost half an hour, but the puppet army still did not appear.

"Captain, the puppet army was scared by us. They stopped in Dongpo Village, one kilometer ahead to bury the pot and cook. It seemed that they didn't plan to move forward." A row of leaders ran over to report, with disappointment on their faces.

"They are waiting for the Japanese!" Zhou Cheng quickly figured out the reason and looked at the three platoon leaders explaining.

"After the Japanese army arrives, they will enter the battlefield again, so they don't have to face us alone, and safety will be guaranteed."

Xiang Feng's disappointed face showed a worried expression again: "Captain, if this happens, we can't severely damage the puppet army before they join forces?"

"If they can meet smoothly, we will face more than 300 Japanese and puppet troops at once. It is not only stressful, but also very dangerous."

Zhou Cheng was also very disappointed at the beginning. If the puppet army did not come, the pocket array prepared by the guerrillas here would lose its effect.

But his confidence was soon restored: "If the puppet army does not come, we will kill ourselves."

"Dongpo Village is a small mountain village with no danger to defend. We took the lead in the guest, killed directly, and took the initiative to attack the puppet troops hiding inside."

"Can it work?" The three platoon leaders showed a guilty expression at the same time.

Surround them ten times, attack them five times, and fight them twice. This is the most basic common sense of combat.

In their perception, only when they have the advantage of military strength can they actively attack the opponent.

Now the number of puppet troops is four or five times more than that of guerrillas. They attack with such a big fanfare. What if they are surrounded by them?

Zhou Cheng replied confidently: "Of course it can do it."

"There are many puppet soldiers, but there are only two light machine guns."

"We have few people, and we have a heavy machine gun, five light machine guns, six grenade launchers and a mortar."

"Although there is not much ammunition, it is still okay to shoot a few rounds of volleys. As long as we blow the opponent up, attack in the chaos, and defeat their will to resist, we will win."

"I won't say much nonsense. This battle is so big if I listen to me."

At the entrance of Dongpo Village, several sentries were holding guns and staring outside the village with a look of vigilance.

In the village, all the pots that could be used were plundered by the puppet army, and some chickens and ducks were snatched by the way.

More than a dozen kids and soldiers surrounded the stove, cooking rice, boiling water, and stewing meat... they were very busy.

More than a hundred puppet soldiers were scattered around, sitting on the ground in squads, staring blankly at the stove with smoke rising from the distance, and swallowing their saliva.

Although they don’t have to worry about being hungry, meat is still rarely eaten, let alone chicken and duck stewed in a pot.

Several officers gathered in one of the best houses in the village. On the table were the food that the chef had just prepared for them, eating and drinking, and they were in a very good mood.

In their plan, as long as the Japanese are in place on time and lead their troops to join them, the next battle will be very safe and there will be no more situations when the entire company of troops are killed by the Eighth Route Army.
