On the official road to Zhangzhuang Town, more than a hundred Japanese soldiers formed two formations and quickly advanced forward.

The adjutant led the team to walk in the middle of the team with a very excited expression.

This is the first time he has led his troops independently since he was the deputy to Major Fujita. If this battle is done well, it will definitely bring great benefits to his future promotion.

Along the way, he was thinking about how to defeat the Eighth Route Army. If the Eighth Route Army saw that the situation was not good, how could he surround him and block them in the end...

"Sir, there are only five kilometers left here next to Zhangzhuang Town!" A longtime Cao ran over to remind him.

The excitement on the adjutant's face was immediately replaced seriously and he decisively ordered: "The Eighth Route Army we are going to attack will be active in Zhangzhuang Town. The troops will be more vigilant and ready to take the enemy at any time."

"Boom... da da da da..."

After walking forward less than five hundred meters, a fire exchange suddenly sounded in front of the team, and there were a few explosions in the middle.

The moving team stopped quickly, and the rifle on their backs and the machine guns carried on their shoulders were all held in their hands by soldiers, staring at the surroundings with great vigilance.

An expectation flashed in the adjutant's eyes. The main force of the Eighth Route Army who subconsciously thought that he was going to attack was right in front of him, so he quickly ordered: "The forward went over to investigate immediately and figure out what was the sound of the firefighting ahead?"

The fire exchange was getting more and more intense, and the adjutant became more and more anxious, wishing to lead the troops to kill him now.

In the end, reason defeats impulse, force yourself to calm down, and wait for news of the vanguard troops.

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. If you don’t even understand the opponent and then rashly kill them, maybe it’s a trap waiting for you to get into.

After waiting for almost ten minutes, forward Cao Chang finally appeared at the end of the official road and ran towards him with gasps.

"Sir, I have found out clearly. The Imperial Army is fighting against the Eighth Route Army in front. About half of the Eighth Route Army in a company was blocked on the ridge by the Imperial Army of a company. The Imperial Army is attacking. Depending on the situation of the war, the strength of the two sides is not very different, and it is difficult to decide the winner in a short period of time."

"Yo Xi..." The adjutant was very happy.

"Since the strength of the two troops is equally matched, we have become the key to dominating this battle."

"Watanabe, take your people with you and kill them immediately, and fight quickly and kill this Eighth Route Army."

"This is our first battle to return to Zhangzhuang Town, and we must win the first battle."

"Hi!" Lieutenant Watanabe immediately took the order.

Before the person moved, he saw another soldier running over and gasping for a report: "Sir, the Eighth Route Army, which was blocked by the Imperial Army, broke through and ran away, and the Imperial Army is pursuing."

The fat meat that had bitten into his mouth said that he could not let it slip away no matter what.

The adjutant did not hesitate at all and immediately ordered: "Watanabe, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and lead the troops to kill..."

The two troops chased each other and fought very lively.

Watanabe led more than fifty subordinates to chase after him and bit the puppet army.

The entire battle seemed to be the winner, chasing the Eighth Route Army to fight. But the opponent was too cunning and no one could guarantee whether there would be any other conspiracy ahead.

So Watanabe, who was chasing, did not relax his vigilance.

He always led the team behind the Imperial Army. If this pursuit battle was a situation set up by the Eighth Route Army, the Imperial Army in front would definitely be attacked first. You can judge whether to participate in the battle based on the enemy situation, you can attack and retreat or defend, and be invincible.

After chasing for ten minutes, the terrain on both sides of the official road began to become complicated, and the official road became narrower and narrower, slowly turning into a mountain road.

Because there were puppet troops leading the way, Watanabe did not take these changes in mind.

After chasing for more than ten minutes, a ravine appeared in front of Watanabe.

The mountain road passes through the bottom of the ditches, and on both sides are deserted slopes with an altitude of thirty or forty meters.

If an enemy hides on it, the valley will instantly become a pocket array.

In normal times, Watanabe will definitely not move forward rashly when facing such terrain.

Either send someone to investigate and then walk, or give up the mountain road at the bottom of the ditch and walk directly from the deserted slopes on both sides.

Watanabe didn't do that today.

Nearly a company of Imperial Army was passing through this ravine. If the Eighth Route Army was ambushed on the deserted slope, they would definitely be attacked first.

If the Imperial Army successfully passes through the ravine, it means there are no enemies on the deserted slope.

When the Japanese army ran to the entrance of the ravine, the Imperial Army happened to walk out of the ravine without any danger.

Watanabe's concerns were gone, and he decisively ordered: "The troops quickly pass through the ravine and continue to hunt down the Eighth Route Army!"

On the deserted slope dozens of meters away, there were guerrillas in one row, three rows, and firepower rows. Nearly seventy soldiers were lying in the middle of the bushes, covered with thatch, and integrated with the surrounding environment. If you walk in, you may not be able to find them.

Zhou Cheng lay in the middle of the team, holding the box cannon in his hand, staring at the entrance of the ravine without blinking.

Seeing the Japanese rushing in without any warning, a smile flashed quickly on his serious face: The Japanese were fooled...

It turned out that the battle scenes and pursuit battles that the Japanese army saw were all arranged by Zhou Chengjing, and all the actors came from prisoners and guard platoons.

The Imperial Army, which Watanabe had high hopes, not only did not give them any warnings, but also brought them into the pocket formation prepared by Zhou Chengjing.

In the ravine, the Japanese army still lined up in two formations. Only a few soldiers held their rifles in their hands. Most of the soldiers carried their rifles on their backs or carried them on their shoulders, and advanced quickly without any warning.

Zhou Cheng raised the box cannon, waited for Watanabe to walk to him, and shot decisively.

As the gunshot spread, Watanabe's face changed suddenly. As soon as he was about to shout "Enemy attack...", the bullet had already drilled two blood holes in his body. The scream instantly turned into a scream, and when he fell to the ground, there was no movement.

The remaining more than ten bullets were scattered around Watanabe in fan shapes. Four Japanese devils fell to the ground together, and the rifle was still on their backs until they died.

Zhou Cheng prepared four light machine guns here. He heard about heavy machine guns, six grenade launchers, nearly fifty rifles, and four box cannons.

As soon as his gun fired, all these weapons joined the battle, and more than two hundred bullets were fired into the valley within two seconds.

Although the accuracy is not high, the number is large.

In addition, the soldiers were very close to the Japanese, and in just one round of firepower attacks, more than half of the more than fifty Japanese were injured and killed, with an average of ten bullets killing one person.

Although the alive Japanese were caught off guard by the raid, they did not react slowly. They all rushed to the ground within two seconds, and they picked up their guns and were about to fight back.

At this time, if you choose to shoot against the Japanese, with the Japanese's superb shooting skills, the guerrillas will lose even if they have three times the advantage in their troops.

Zhou Cheng was clear about it, so he made preparations in advance.

In order to prevent the soldiers from being at a loss when facing so many Japanese and forgetting their arrangements before the war, Zhou Cheng put the empty box cannon aside, grabbed the grenade, pulled out the security, and knocked it hard on the butt. The grenade began to emit white smoke and shouted.

"All riflemen prepare for grenades... toss..."

The grenade that had been in his hand for three seconds was thrown into the ravine at the same time.

More than twenty grenades and grenades flew out from the deserted slope together.

"Boom..." The grenades that smashed into the ravine exploded, and more and more grenades and grenades flew out from the deserted slopes, continuously...
