Ono frowned and thought for a whole minute before deciding, "Change the combat plan, send troops immediately, and march quickly to reinforce Guanliang stronghold!"

The Chief of Staff immediately reminded: "The captain of the corps is calm. It takes three hours to march from the county town to the Guanliang stronghold. According to the strong attack power shown by the Eighth Route Army in front, the Guanliang stronghold will definitely not last long. I am worried that after we arrived at the Guanliang stronghold, the Eighth Route Army had already captured the stronghold Taozhiyaoyao, so we will go for nothing, which will give the Eighth Route Army in Shuiquan Village a longer preparation time!"

"No! The Guanliang stronghold is not so easy to be knocked down!" Ono shook his head and answered firmly.

"Don't forget that the Guanliang stronghold was built with an artillery tower. The Eighth Route Army only equipped with mortars, so it is definitely not that easy to capture it. As long as we marched and killed it quickly, we would be 80% sure we would collide with the Eighth Route Army!"

"Order the troops to bring only mortars and heavy machine guns to marches and reinforce Guanliang strongholds and seize the time."

Ono's analysis was correct. It took nearly an hour for the Independent Battalion to acquire the stronghold.

With the time to clean the battlefield, when the Independent Battalion began to retreat, a squadron of the Japanese reinforcements vanguard had already reached the official road less than one kilometer away from the stronghold. Fortunately, Wang Ping was still at the minimum vigilance and arranged a lot of people to join the police around him.

Otherwise, the Japanese who suddenly came over would definitely catch the independent battalion off guard.

At that time, a heavy blow will definitely not be avoided. If you are not lucky, you may be surrounded by the Japanese and wiped out here.

After listening to the enemy situation, everyone's face changed suddenly. They all realized that the crisis they are facing now is not an exaggeration to describe the word "life and death".

Zhang Yunshan first broke the increasingly depressed anger around him and took the initiative to ask for battle and said, "Battery Commander, take everyone to retreat immediately, leave me thirty soldiers, I will cover it, and ensure that at least one small Japanese devil can be blocked!"

"No!" Wang Ping refused decisively.

"When you block the Japanese for an hour, you and the thirty warriors will definitely die. I, Wang Ping, will never let me go, everyone will go back!"

"Impossible!" This is everyone's first thought after hearing Wang Ping's answer.

The Japanese are field troops, and the speed is fast. The independent battalion carries a large amount of supplies and equipment, and the speed is slow. In addition, the two troops are only less than one kilometer apart. As long as the Japanese army pursues all their strength, they can catch up in two hours. At that time, not to mention retreating unstoppable, half of them will be lucky to break out from under the Japanese's nose.

No matter what everyone thought, Wang Ping directly ordered: "Zhang Yunshan, you should take the troops and retreat immediately. We don't have big cars, remember to walk more paths and get to the destination as soon as possible to meet with the instructor!"

"Architecture Platoon, the guard squad of your two companies, and the grenade squad stay with me, I'll stop the Japanese."

Wang Ping wanted to object as soon as he finished speaking, but before he could say it, he was interrupted by Wang Ping and said, "I have more experience than you in blocking the Japanese. Besides, I have cannons, grenade launchers, and machine guns. The Japanese will definitely not do anything to me. You can rest assured about safety and ensure that you can escape unstoppable. I am the battalion commander, and I have the final say, and I will execute the orders and hurry up and retreat!"

In less than five minutes, the Independence Battalion evacuated the Japanese Guliang stronghold and began to rush.

Looking at the dozens of subordinates left in front of him, Wang Ping was not polite and gave the order directly.

"Comrades, I plan to teach the Japanese a lesson at this stronghold and tell them not to be so nervous with us! Zhang Bing and Platoon Leader Zhang, I will give you thirty shells, and two grenade squads are under your command. Each grenade troop is five grenades. Just set up a gun behind the stronghold. After a squadron of the Japanese vanguard enters the stronghold, fire the gun immediately and use the shortest time to shoot all the shells and grenades into the stronghold!"

"The others were ambushed behind the stronghold and rushed in with me as soon as the shelling ended! I have strengthened ten pistols for you, and then tilted the slugs and pistols will be hit by the head. Use the most powerful firepower to kill the Japanese who are still alive in the stronghold. The others have prepared grenades and smashed them wherever there are alive Japanese, and strive to kill the Japanese vanguard squadron!"

Zhang Bing asked with a suspicion: "Battery Commander, we only have fifty people. We can really eat an infantry squadron of the Japanese. That is nearly one hundred and eighty Japanese, and they are all elite and well-equipped!"

Wang Ping answered without comment: "The Japanese are indeed very powerful. If you fight head-on, an elite infantry squadron can easily fight against one of our squadrons. However, we are not without the chance to eat one of their squadrons."

"As long as our entire attack is fast, accurate and ruthless, and we don't give the Japanese a response time, we will be sure to eat them!"

"Also, after the Japanese vanguard arrives, they will definitely go to the stronghold to search for any survivors, and find out our strength. That is the best opportunity for us to raid the Japanese, and catch them off guard!"

After three hours of panting, I finally saw the Guanliang stronghold. The artillery tower that should have stood in the middle of the stronghold had turned into a pile of ruins. More importantly, there was no movement in the direction of the stronghold.

More than a hundred Japanese vans at the forefront immediately covered a layer of invisibility, subconsciously thinking that the Eighth Route Army had captured the stronghold and retreated with seizure.

When our side has artillery towers, heavy machine guns, and even mortars, the Eighth Route Army, which is known for its backward equipment, can capture it in a short time, which shows how powerful the Eighth Route Army that attacked the Guanliang stronghold has.

Sure enough, they rushed to the outside of the stronghold, and there was no movement in the stronghold, which was still filled with the smell of smoke.

The squadron leader frowned and ordered directly: "Go to the stronghold immediately to see if there are any living Imperial Army warriors. Try to find out the true strength of the Eighth Route Army from their mouths, otherwise we will pursue blindly and be easily ambushed by the Eighth Route Army!"

After receiving the order, more than a hundred Japanese soldiers rushed into the strongholds that were bombed into ruins without any hesitation, and then looked through the corpses of Japanese soldiers spread throughout the strongholds.

"Woooooooooooooooo!" Suddenly, the whistle of shells passing through the sky sounded, and three shells and six grenades fell from the sky and directly hit the stronghold and exploded and bloomed.

The Japanese who were completely exposed to the stronghold were caught off guard and were killed and injured by more than 30 people on the spot.

"Baga, it's a shelling attack. The Eighth Route Army has not left yet. Everyone hide and avoid artillery fire!" The squadron leader and the squadron leader scattered in the middle of the team all looked shocked. While lying down to the place where they could hide, he shouted the command.

At this time, the second round of shells came again, and many Japanese who were slow to react were directly blown up.

Many Japanese who reacted quickly and were already lying on the ground were affected. After being bombed, they turned into corpses and remained motionless.

When three mortars and six grenade launchers were fired round after round by the Japanese stronghold, the Japanese army's bad luck had just begun.

Many places in the strongholds are considered safe by the Japanese, but in fact they are not safe.

While the Japanese had not arrived at the stronghold, Wang Ping directly arranged seven or eight thunders in these places.

The Japanese who rushed towards these places were panicked, although the thunder arranged by Wang Ping was not hidden, they still did not appear.

So, when the shells and grenades exploded, these boogies were also detonated by them!

There were eight thunders in total, killing at least twenty Japanese!

For a moment, the Japanese in the stronghold became even more panicked. There was no safe place in the stronghold to avoid artillery fire. They subconsciously thought of outside the stronghold, and then rushed towards the door of the stronghold with the shells that were constantly smashing down from their heads!
Chapter completed!
