The Japanese and puppet troops in the Xinzhuang stronghold were worried about the attack. They were worried that the Eighth Route Army outside would launch an attack, so they only hoped that reinforcements would arrive quickly.

What they didn't know was that at this moment, there were only Wang Xiaohu and a special platoon soldier around the stronghold.

When Xu Dalong trains soldiers, he will teach according to his aptitude. He found that Wang Xiaohu has certain shooting talent, so he focused on cultivating him to become a sniper.

The soldier who is now with him is named Qin Yu, and is also the target of Xu Dalong's training as a blocker.

Xu Dalong and others had already left, leaving only the two of them behind, blocking the suspension bridge of Xinzhuang stronghold with cold guns.

Where did Xu Dalong and others go?

It turned out that this was a combat operation carefully arranged by Xu Dalong. The first target of the special service platoon was not the Japanese and puppet troops in the Xinzhuang stronghold, but the Japanese and puppet troops coming from the Shangzhuangzi stronghold to reinforce.

Xu Dalong and others deliberately launched an attack at night, creating the illusion of strong firepower and large numbers, forcing the Japanese and puppet troops in Xinzhuang stronghold to ask for help from Shangzhuangzi stronghold. After the reinforcements of the Japanese and puppet troops came out, they immediately rode away and set up an ambush between the two strongholds.

Because the Japanese and puppet troops in Xinzhuang stronghold were intimidated, they did not know whether the Eighth Route Army outside had withdrawn and did not dare to come out. Therefore, Wang Xiaohu and Qin Yu were able to block the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold.

Before leaving, Xu Dalong and others cut off the telephone line between the Xinzhuang stronghold and the Shangzhuangzi stronghold. If they see through the plan of Xu Dalong and others, they will not be able to notify the Shangzhuangzi stronghold in a short time.

In this way, Xu Dalong and others could calmly ambush the reinforcements of the Japanese and puppet troops.

The Japanese and puppet troops who came out of the Shangzhuangzi stronghold included a small team of the Japanese army, half a company of the puppet troops, and a total of more than 130 people. After they left the stronghold, they ran towards the Xinzhuang stronghold.

The commander of the Japanese army was the Osaka fellow that Xu Dalong once recognized, Captain Tanaka, the executive of the Japanese army. He was also a veteran with rich combat experience. On the way to the Xinzhuang stronghold, he also prepared to guard against the Eighth Route Army's encirclement and attack the aid, and carefully observed the surrounding terrain along the way.

There was a flat field around it, with a wide view, and there was no suitable terrain for the Eighth Route Army to ambush. If an enemy appeared, it would be discovered at a long distance. Therefore, he led the puppet army and ran towards the Xinzhuang stronghold with confidence.

The Japanese and puppet soldiers ran for more than an hour and were exhausted and panting. Captain Tanaka felt that he was about to arrive at the Xinzhuang stronghold, so he planned to stop and rest, so he let the troops recover their strength and prepare to enter the battle.

At this moment, a violent explosion suddenly occurred on the country road under their feet. Not only were a large number of grenades exploded at their feet, but many grenades were blown up and exploded in the air. The Japanese and puppet troops were killed and injured, and more than half of them were lost in an instant.

Before they could react, many Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared in the field that was only a few dozen meters away from the Japanese and puppet troops, and used two light machine guns and many rifles to fire violently at the Japanese and puppet troops on the road.

The Japanese and puppet troops were already confused by the bombing. In a short period of time, they could not organize effective resistance. The sudden appearance of the Eighth Route Army was so close to them that they were basically shot without any bullets.

After the explosion, more than half of the remaining Japanese and puppet troops were quickly wiped out.

The remaining Japanese and puppet troops hurriedly wanted to find a cover to fight back, but the Eighth Route Army's bullets came from three directions. They were attacked from both sides and could not find a place to hide.

Soon, except for a few puppet troops who knelt down and surrendered and saved their lives, all other Japanese and puppet troops were shot dead.

Of course, Xu Dalong and the soldiers of the Special Service Platoon ambush them. How did they suddenly emerge from the ground?

It turned out that this was carefully planned by Xu Dalong. When he went to Wanjia Town to reconnaissance last time, Xu Dalong was already familiar with the terrain of this area. He knew that this area was all plains and there was no suitable ambush position. However, the Japanese and puppet troops were prone to carelessness.

Xu Dalong and others rode here on horseback. They dug a soil pit more than one foot deep behind the ridge of the country road dozens of meters away. They lay in the soil pit, then covered their bodies with thin layers of soil, and sprinkled some disguise like wheat straw. It would be difficult to find it without walking in front of them.

After the ambush was completed, the two soldiers left behind led the horses away from here and set up the ambush position.

The ambush position set up by Xu Dalong is an inverted triangle position. The firepower at any point can be centripetalized. There are no shooting dead corners. You can fully exert your firepower without hitting your own people.

The inverted triangle position is a very effective formation. Three soldiers and a light machine gun can easily kill a platoon of enemies.

Before the battle started, in order to quickly kill the enemy, Xu Dalong and others buried a large number of grenades on the road. Some grenades exploded directly underground, and some grenades were blown up and exploded in the air.

At the same time, Xu Dalong and others opened fire. Although they were not large in number, they had two light machine guns with sufficient ammunition and very fierce firepower. In this way, the Japanese and puppet troops had no power to fight back and were soon destroyed.

After this battle, 131 Japanese and puppet troops were annihilated and all their weapons and equipment were seized. None of the soldiers in the special service platoon were injured or killed.

Xu Dalong and others collected weapons and ammunition, and then returned to the Xinzhuang stronghold.

After all, Wang Xiaohu and Qin Yu had only two people. They were worried that the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold would rush out, and they were sweating all the time. Seeing Xu Dalong and others back, they felt relieved.

Wang Xiaohu had seen a large number of weapons and ammunition seized by the special platoon soldiers, and asked happily: "Platform leader, have the Japanese reinforcements been destroyed?"

Xu Dalong nodded slightly.

Monk Wei said proudly: "Brother Huzi, the battle was so exciting. Our brothers did not hurt a single person. It was so satisfying to kill more than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops."

Zheng Xirong asked: "Platform leader, how to fight the Xinzhuang stronghold? Did you use the last tactic?"

Xu Dalong said: "It doesn't take so much effort. Everyone should hide and wait for my order."

Xu Dalong first set up a mortar, aimed at it, and put the shell into the cannon barrel.

When the Japanese and puppet troops at Xinzhuang stronghold saw that there were many Eighth Route Army soldiers coming outside, they immediately became nervous.

The Japanese Chang Cao ran to the roof of the artillery tower and looked outside.

Suddenly, the sharp whistling sound of mortar shells flying came from the sky. He was very experienced and hurriedly lay on the ground.

The shells flew over and landed beside him. The Japanese Chief Cao and the two puppet troops on the artillery tower were killed immediately. Another Japanese was also blown up.

This time, the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold became even more panicked. They opened fire violently from the shooting hole.

Xu Dalong hid behind a sandbag and shouted loudly: "Brothers of the puppet army, the reinforcements you were waiting for at the Shangzhuangzi stronghold have been wiped out by our Eighth Route Army. If you want to survive, you will come out to surrender obediently. The Eighth Route Army treats prisoners with preferential treatment and keeps guns and not kill them."

When the deputy company commander of Weijun heard someone shouting outside, he ordered a ceasefire. After hearing Xu Dalong's words, he was very panicked and hurriedly discussed with the platoon leader of the puppet army and several squad leaders.

They were really scared because the previous group of puppet troops guarding here were all killed, and now there are no reinforcements. They were very afraid that the Eighth Route Army outside would attack and kill them.

Xu Dalong continued to shout: "Don't be lucky. We have eliminated more than 100 people who came to the village. It is easy to capture your artillery tower.

The devils kill and set fire in our country, and do everything evil. You are all Chinese. You cannot be a dog for the Japanese devils and help the devils do evil. People should have dignity when they live, and don’t be stabbed by the people after death.

I hope you can put down your weapons and follow us to fight the Japanese. If you don’t want to, we will send you travel expenses and let you go home.”

The deputy company commander of the puppet army and others were still discussing, and a squad leader said: "Deputy company commander, there are machine guns and cannons outside the Eighth Route Army outside, and we may not be able to defend it, and there will be no reinforcements. If you persist, I am afraid that the brothers will have to explain here."

The platoon leader also had this opinion and said, "Yes, the deputy company commander, what the Eighth Route Army said makes sense. The Japanese devils lack the virtues of eight generations, which is not a good thing. Otherwise, we will surrender."

The deputy company commander was still a little hesitant. You must know that it was not easy for him to survive from a small soldier to a deputy company commander. After surrendering to the Eighth Route Army, his future would definitely be gone. He was considering whether he could wait for reinforcements from other places to come.

Outside the stronghold, Monk Wei was a little impatient and said to Xu Dalong: "Master Long, what do you mean by them? Didn't we bury grenades in the artillery tower? Let's just take them all over the pot."

Xu Dalong does not plan to do this for the time being. After the grenade explodes, it will blow up the weapons, ammunition and other materials inside.

He said, "Monk, find a way to throw a grenade into the artillery tower, remember not to pull the fire."

Monk Wei said, "I understand." After that, he used skillful individual tactics to crawl towards the direction of the artillery tower.

Not long after, he came to the back of a canal more than 40 meters away from the artillery tower. He picked up a grenade and threw it at the artillery tower.

The puppet soldiers were still discussing that a grenade flew in from the hole of the gun and landed on the ground.

The puppet soldiers were all frightened and hurriedly hurriedly hugged their heads and lay on the ground. After a long time, they realized that the grenade was a dud and the lid at the back was not unscrewed.

At this time, Xu Dalong's voice came again, and he shouted: "You'd better surrender quickly, otherwise the next time you fly in will be no dud. Now I'll give you three minutes. If you don't surrender, we will launch an attack."

The platoon leader of the puppet army was already frightened, and he said, "Deputy Company Commander, this group of Eighth Route Army is so powerful, so surrender quickly."

Several squad leaders of the puppet army also urged the deputy company commander to make up their minds quickly.

The deputy company commander finally made up his mind. He stood at the shooting port and shouted outside: "Brothers from the Eighth Route Army outside, you must keep your word and don't hurt us. We will surrender now."

The soldiers of the Special Service Platoon were all very happy when they heard the shouts of the puppet troops in the stronghold.

A smile also appeared on Xu Dalong's face.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out from the artillery tower, and the soldiers of the special service platoon hurriedly hid to guard against the puppet troops in the preparatory base firing.

Xu Dalong was also a little annoyed and shouted, "Xizi, since they don't know how to politely, kill them."

Zheng Xirong had already been ambushed in the bushes buried with the ropes in advance. He held the rope and was about to pull them back, intending to detonate the grenades buried in the artillery tower.

At this moment, a shout came from the artillery tower: "Don't misunderstand the Eighth Route Master outside. I killed a Japanese man inside just now. Let's go out and surrender."

It turned out that there were two Japanese devils in the artillery tower. The Chief Cao was killed by the roof just now, and the other devil was not dead, but was blown away. After he woke up, he saw that the puppet troops in the artillery tower did not open fire at the Eighth Route Army outside, so he went down from the roof to the second floor and asked the deputy company commander of the puppet army and others why they did not open fire.

When the deputy company commander of the puppet army saw the Japanese, he hesitated again.

Seeing this situation, a squad leader of the puppet army was worried that the deputy company commander would change his mind. The Eighth Route Army attacked and took his own life, so he fired a shot in the back of the Japanese.

Soon after, the puppet troops put down the suspension bridge and lined up to surrender.

The soldiers of the Special Service Platoon ran into the stronghold and moved out all the weapons, ammunition and supplies.

Zheng Xirong asked, "Platform leader, are there still artillery towers?"

Monk Wei said, "Stay here. When the next group of Japanese and puppet troops come in, we should not be so troublesome. Just blow them up to the sky." He is still unsatisfied with not being able to use the grenades buried in the artillery tower.

Xu Dalong smiled and said, "Forget it, the Japanese and the puppet army are not that stupid. They have suffered such great losses twice in a row, so they will not come again.

Take out the grenade and burn it for him all the things that can be burned in the stronghold."

Monk Wei took out the grenades and said to the puppet soldiers: "Did you see it? So many grenades have been buried under your feet. If you didn't surrender just now, you might have been bombed into the sky."

When the puppet troops saw that there were only about twenty officers and soldiers in the special service platoon, they could actually destroy more than 100 reinforcements from the Japanese and puppet troops, they all thought that these Eighth Route Army members were really powerful.

They didn't expect that they had already buried grenades in the artillery tower. They all felt scared and were glad that they surrendered in time.

The special service platoon won a great victory and was about to return to the base. They had too many things seized, so they asked the captured puppet troops to carry the things and return to the base with them.

Xu Dalong and others returned to the Independent Regiment. Outside the village, they met Sun Desheng again with the cavalry company training.
