Two companies of soldiers rushed in through the gate. The soldier at the front was holding a submachine gun and unleashed a barrage of firepower.
Ta da da, da da, da da da——
The fierce firepower caused sand and rocks to fly in the courtyard, and more than a dozen puppet soldiers were shot and killed on the spot.
The remaining puppet troops surrendered obediently.
More than 200 puppet cavalrymen squatted in the compound, with rifles, sabers and bullet pouches thrown all over the floor.
Zhang Dabiao pulled out the ghost machete from his back, pointed at the squatting puppet soldier, and asked: "Who is the battalion commander?"
A group of puppet soldiers squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, shivering and not daring to say a word.
"Don't tell me, right?" Zhang Dabiao shouted angrily, "Don't tell me, I will attack you all, prepare your submachine guns!"
The soldiers then pulled the bolts of their submachine guns with a loud bang.
The puppet soldiers were startled and looked at a puppet soldier in the crowd who had his hands raised and his head buried between his legs.
Two soldiers holding submachine guns immediately stepped forward, picked the puppet soldier out from the crowd, and dragged him to Zhang Dabiao.
This person is none other than Cui Lisan, the commander of the cavalry battalion directly under the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army.
I wanted to wear a soldier's uniform and get away with it, but I didn't expect that I would be betrayed by my subordinates in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Dabiao looked sternly: "Are you Cui Lisan?"
Seeing the cold eyes of the Eighth Route Commander in front of him, Cui Lisan was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and he nodded with a fearful expression.
His knees weakened and he knelt down disobediently: "I am, I am Cui Lisan, please forgive me, Master Ba!"
"My poor baby is only one year old, and my poor old mother is already ninety-nine years old. Oh, I can't die!"
Zhang Dabiao was amused by him: "Did your mother give birth to you in her seventies?"
"This, this..." Cui Lisan's eyes widened suddenly. He just wanted to beg for mercy but he let it slip.
Xu Yonghai ran out of the backyard, ran up to Zhang Dabiao, and whispered in his ear: "Batalion Commander, all the troops and horses have been found, they are all in the backyard!"
Zhang Dabiao nodded and then looked at Cui Lisan.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and a chilling aura suddenly disappeared.
Long before, Zhang Dabiao had sent people to investigate Cui Lisan. This Cui Lisan, others called him Cui Sanye, was a die-hard traitor. He persecuted his own compatriots even more cruelly than the Japanese, and he had a lot of blood debt on his hands.
Last year, Cui Lisan fell in love with the daughter of a wealthy family in Pingding County and wanted to marry her as his third concubine. When the other party didn't agree, he sent people pretending to be bandits to kill the other family and seize the other's daughter and land property, using extremely cruel methods.
cruel.
Zhang Dabiao raised the ghost-head machete in his hand: "Cui Lisan, do you know this thing?"
Cui Lisan stammered: "I recognize..."
"Those who betray the country and surrender to the enemy, bully men and dominate women, live in a land of fish and meat, kill them!"
After finishing speaking, the blade in Zhang Dabiao's hand swept out a 180-degree killing radius diagonally from right to left and from top to bottom.
"ah!"
Cui Lisan's frightened screams suddenly stopped when he saw the blade sweeping towards him.
The bloody arrow shot out, Cui Lisan's head flew more than a meter away, and rolled down onto the bluestone floor tiles.
For prisoners of the puppet army, other troops may take them for their own use.
But Li Yunlong looked down upon traitors, so the New Regiment usually treated the captured puppet soldiers by giving them an education and then releasing them.
However, Zhang Dabiao currently does not have the time to do educational and ideological work for the puppet army. Killing the puppet army battalion commander as a warning can also achieve the effect.
Zhang Dabiao glanced at the puppet soldiers with cold eyes. No puppet soldier dared to look at him. Then he handed the ghost head machete to Xu Yonghai and walked towards the backyard.
As soon as I stepped into the backyard, I saw rows of stables. Behind the stables were tall maroon horses.
Behind the backyard is a creek, and the excrement of military horses flows into the creek.
Looking at the hundreds of military horses, Zhang Dabiao raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Take all the military horses away for me, don't leave any of them behind!"
The soldiers quickly stepped forward and led the military horses to the street one by one.
After leaving the Wanjia Courtyard, Zhang Dabiao stepped forward to check on the two military horses on the street that had been shot and fell to the ground. They had made no sound.
In line with the principle of no waste, the soldiers were immediately asked to cut off the four legs of the army horse with a knife, lift the body of the army horse to two mule carts, and fix it with ropes.
The entire battle lasted about half an hour, and it was half an hour longer than the estimated one hour to end the battle, so there was still enough time.
After doing all this, Zhang Dabiao shouted loudly: "Send a signal flare to the Third Company and withdraw!"
A red signal flare rose high with a tail flame and a scream. Soldiers from the first and second companies led their horses and drove the mule cart out of Wanjia Town.
After seeing the signal flare, the Third Company responsible for blocking the attack quickly withdrew from the ambush position to join the main force and headed towards the Taihang base area.
…
At the same time, Baijin Highway, Ma Touling between Taigu and Nanguan Town.
Kong Jie of the Independent Regiment received intelligence that every half month, a Japanese and puppet transport team would transport supplies from Qixian County to Nanguan Town.
Today, the half-month period has arrived, and it is the day when the Japanese and puppet transport teams are dispatched.
Nanguan Town is located at the junction of Wuxiang, Qixian and Pingyao counties, guarding railways and highways, and its geographical location is very important.
The Japanese army regarded this place as an important stronghold on the Baijin Road. In addition to more than 1,000 migrant workers building the railway, there were also more than 500 Japanese puppet troops stationed there.
The Japanese and puppet independent regiments in Nanguan Town were unable to take advantage of them, but Kong Jie focused on the Japanese and puppet transport team delivering supplies to Nanguan Town.
Kong Jie chose the ambush location very carefully, not on a condescending terrain, but on a mountain ridge one to two hundred meters wide.
The road passes directly above the mountain ridge, and the road surface is only slightly lower than the ridges on both sides, so there is no condition for an ambush.
Kong Jie took advantage of this, thinking that Japanese convoys often took this road, and felt that it was impossible to be ambushed by the Eighth Route Army here, so he lowered his guard.
As long as the ambush troops are well hidden, they can completely catch the Japanese and puppet transport teams by surprise.
Kong Jie led a battalion of commanders and fighters into the ambush position early before dawn.
This battle was approved by Kong Jie after asking the brigade commander for instructions. He was not like Li Yunlong, who could mobilize a battalion's troops at will.
The soldiers hid under the ridges on both sides of the road, covered with dead grass brought in advance, which not only provided concealment but also protected them from the cold.
Wang Gensheng was wearing a thick cotton coat and was lying in front of the road, with an opened grenade box beside him.
There were 30 German M24 grenades in this grenade box, which was a gift from Li Yunlong to Kong Jie.
Wang Gensheng was the master pitcher of the independent regiment, so Kong Jie took out a box of grenades and gave them to Wang Gensheng for use.
As usual, Wang Gensheng bundled four or five wooden handle grenades together to make cluster grenades for use.
It was not until noon that the Japanese and puppet army's transport team finally arrived and entered the sight of the ambush troops.
