The lieutenant was also full of reluctance by the adjutant and clenched his fists and replied: "Sir, you are right. Even if the warriors die in battle, they will have to bring a few more Eighth Route Army troops to give us a custody. We must not be slaughtered meaninglessly!"

"Well said!" the adjutant agreed.

"In order to avoid this, I decided to lead everyone to break through tonight and leave here and return to the county town!"

"Nani?" The lieutenant was shocked by the adjutant's decision.

Although he agreed with this decision in his heart, this idea flashed through his mind, and then he rejected it himself. He looked at the adjutant and asked, "Sir, if we break through, what should we do if the Eighth Route Army in Zhangzhuang Town do?"

"The task given to us by the captain is to protect Zhangzhuang Town, hold down the Eighth Route Army, and buy time for the captain to eliminate the Donghui Town guerrillas."

"If we break through and retreat, this Eighth Route Army will definitely turn Zhangzhuang Town upside down and even build an Eighth Route Army base. Even if our mission is not completed, the captain will definitely hold him accountable."

The adjutant shook his head: "Let's make an assumption now."

"If the troops do not break through and retreat tonight, what will happen if they wait for everyone?"

The second lieutenant thought for a moment and replied in a heavy tone: "According to the current attack rhythm of the Eighth Route Army, we will definitely be ready for attack in the second half of the night, and then launch a general attack on us while the night is falling and enter the town."

"The advantage of troops and firepower are on their side. We will definitely lose this battle and we can't even hold on to dawn!"

The adjutant nodded: "This means that if we do not break through and retreat, we will not be able to hold back the Eighth Route Army. If we cannot complete the mission, we will be destroyed here."

"Since both guarding and not guarding cannot complete the mission, why do you still have to let nearly a hundred warriors die here in vain?"

"If you bring everyone back to the county town and wait for the captain to return victoriously in Jinshan and fight back, the warriors will definitely be able to kill more Eighth Route Army at the lowest cost."

"It's decided. I'll prepare for everyone for ten minutes, then break through from the back of the town, break out of the encirclement and then march quickly to retreat to the county town."

"If the captain wants to hold the responsibility accountable, I will bear it alone."

The guerrillas' offense at the entrance of the town continues.

Six additional individual bunkers appeared on the open space of more than 40 meters on the Japanese position, and twelve prisoners hid behind to dig trenches.

Zhou Cheng stood in the offensive position farther away, raised his telescope and stared at the entrance of the village.

It was too quiet there. Ten minutes ago, the gunshots were still loud, and it seemed like there was no one else at this moment, and there was no movement at all.

This is so abnormal. You should know that the Eighth Route Army was operating more than 40 meters in front of them. Even if they had no ammunition, they should not be indifferent and watched their opponents repair the trenches and then launch an attack.

Zhou Cheng felt that there was something wrong with this, and he had a keen sense of smell and ordered decisively: "The army is ready to attack..."

"The entrance of the village is too quiet, I suspect the Japanese are going to break through and run away."

"Da da da da...b...b..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a string of guns rang from behind the town, and the sound was very dense, but it stopped in less than half a minute.

A few minutes later, a soldier ran over in a hurry: "Captain, the Japanese broke through the back of the town!"

"Is everyone breaking through or just a few people running out?" Zhou Cheng asked staring at his subordinates.

"Everyone broke through. Nearly a hundred Japanese, dozens of Japanese Japanese, carrying light and heavy machine guns and mortars, rushed out of the village." The subordinates quickly answered.

"I only have three warriors in my hands, I am not an opponent at all. I will all be sacrificed in just one round of firefighting..."

Several platoon leaders were shocked on their faces, staring at Zhou Cheng like a monster, with an incredible face.

Before the war, they heard Zhou Cheng say that this offense may not be able to fight tonight.

After hearing this, several people didn't believe it. In their perception, they had seen the Japanese who died in battle, and had not seen the Japanese who ran away.

Moreover, there are not many Japanese in the town, including guns, guns, cannons, and dozens of Japanese Japanese to help, so there is no reason to break through and escape.

Unexpectedly, the captain made a right judgment again, as if he could predict the future: the Japanese not only took the initiative to give up their positions to break through, but also ran very fast, like a stray dog, very embarrassed... Are they really scared by the guerrillas' posture and fled in a flash?

Zhou Cheng did not explain that the Japanese army voluntarily evacuated Zhangzhuang Town, which was beneficial to the guerrillas without any harm.

It's dark now, which is an excellent opportunity to fight night wars and mobile wars. You can't let go of them even if you say nothing. I quickly ordered: "Why are you still standing there?"

"A row of left behind in Zhangzhuang Town, eliminate the two Japanese who might be left in the village, and then clean up the battlefield."

"The other troops followed me around the village and chased the Japanese, killing them one of them..."

On the official road, more than a hundred Japanese and puppet soldiers held torches and ran towards the county town in a very embarrassed manner, at a very fast speed.

The guerrillas also held up torches and quickly pursued them.

At the beginning, both sides kept a distance of 400 meters, and the Japanese behind the palace kept entering the guerrilla vision, but because the shooting distance was too far, Zhou Cheng did not shoot.

As they ran, the traitors who broke through with the Japanese began to fall behind.

They have never conducted regular training, have never trained in the wild, and have never experienced long-distance marching. They are not as physically and endurance as the Japanese, so it is normal to fall behind.

But there is one advantage: as a local snake, everyone is very familiar with the surrounding terrain.

After falling behind, before the Eighth Route Army caught up and became a prisoner, they wiped out the torches and quickly left the official road and disappeared into the night.

The goal of the guerrillas is the Japanese. If you kill one more tonight, you will lose one point in the future.

Then he ignored these traitors who fled in all directions and clenched behind the Japanese and pursued them.

This is an endurance race. Whoever has better physical strength and lasts longer will win.

The guerrillas are obviously not the opponent of the Japanese.

They eat well and are well-trained. Every soldier is as strong as a cow, and the guerrillas are definitely not as good as that.

After chasing for five kilometers, the distance between the two sides had been extended to six or seven hundred meters. After confirming that the Japanese army was fleeing towards the county town, Zhou Cheng decided to give up the pursuit!

At the entrance of Zhangzhuang Town, Xiang Feng stood here looking forward to the captain's return in triumphant success.

Seeing a fire at the end of the official road, I quickly met: "Captain... how did he chase him? Have you killed the Japanese devils?"

Zhou Cheng shook his head: "The Japanese ran too fast, we couldn't keep up, so let them escape!"

Several platoon leaders looked disappointed, especially Chen Zhengyu. If it weren't for the poor physical strength of the soldiers under his command, the entire pursuit would definitely not have returned in vain.

Looking at Zhou Cheng, he promised: "Captain, after this battle, I will definitely practice troops well and let the soldiers practice long-distance cross-country. When I meet the Japanese in the future, I will definitely not let them slip away from our noses."

Zhou Cheng comforted: "Don't be disappointed, aren't there just dozens of Japanese devils? They ran away."

"As long as we can force the remaining Japanese devils in Jinshan to retreat, this pursuit will be worth it tonight!"

"I'm sending my order: the troops will hurry up and rest tonight and continue to sweep away the nearby traitors tomorrow."

"We defeated the troops transferred from the front line by the Japanese army. They still wanted to control and pacify us like before and eliminate us, so they could only continue to transfer troops from the front line."
