Chapter 600: Initial offensive, take the next city first
"Put down your weapons, surrender your guns and don't kill!" the soldiers gathered around shouted.
Without the pressure of the Japanese army, the puppet troops who were already distracted, and then looked at the several light machine guns in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, the remaining puppet troops suddenly became frightened and put down their weapons one after another and surrendered.
At the same time, the guerrillas hiding in the green gauze tent apparently heard the noise outside and emerged from the green gauze tent one by one.

As soon as the platoon leader leading the team came out, he saw the originally extremely arrogant puppet soldiers squatting on the ground with their butts sticking out, and couldn't help but get furious.
"Damn, you traitor, you are so cruel, you were so arrogant just now!" The leader of the platoon kicked a puppet soldier on the butt.
Li Yunlong did not stop it. The guerrillas sent out were fully prepared when they set out. Now, including the wounded, there were only a few left. No one was upset.
After venting his inner anger, the platoon leader reported to Li Yunlong: "Reporting to the Communist Party, the platoon leader of the new regiment, battalion, third company and first platoon, Wang Fuxin, is reporting to you!"
"Wang Fuxin!" Li Yunlong got on his horse and shouted.
"arrive!"
"Your platoon has completed the task very well and has not embarrassed the new regiment. Now I order the wounded to be sent back to Hanji Town immediately. The third company commander will take out a platoon to send the wounded and prisoners back!"
Wang Fuxin hesitated for a moment, then responded: "Yes!"
"The rest of the people will follow me to attack Zhuanmiao Town!" Li Yunlong flicked his whip and said, "Drive!"
Originally, Li Yunlong, as a member of the military division, did not have to go out personally, but this guy couldn't bear the loneliness, threatened to lose his breath, and felt depressed and panicked.
This time, the cavalry regiment of the Southwest Shandong Army Division was dispatched not only for troop training but also to assist the guerrilla troops in returning to their base areas.
There were four guerrilla platoons sent to the enemy-occupied areas. Each platoon carried a separate radio. The new regiment, one battalion, three companies and one platoon, and the second platoon successively showed their traces from the north and south of Zhuanmiao Town.
This attracted the Japanese and puppet troops in Zhuanmiao Town to actively pursue the small group of Eighth Route Army troops who were causing trouble in the occupied area.
The cavalry regiment was also divided into two groups to respond. At this time, Sun Desheng's troops were fighting the Japanese and puppet troops pursuing on the north route. However, the enemy in Zhuanmiao Town was empty of defense force as the main force went to pursue the guerrillas.
Outside Zhuanmiao Town, the commander of the third platoon of the first battalion of the new regiment was lurking at the east entrance of the town with his soldiers. In the field of view of the telescope, the puppet troops on the gun tower were looking around. The checkpoint at the exit also had puppet troops facing in and out.
personnel are investigating.
"It seems that Platoon Leader Li and the others have sneaked in!" The third platoon leader put down his binoculars and immediately said to the soldiers beside him: "Notify me, once gunshots are heard in the town, everyone will rush towards the direction of Zhuanmiao Town.
!”
In Zhuanmiao Town, the twelve soldiers from the guard platoon who climbed over the wall last night were gathering towards the town office.
"Platoon leader, I figured it out. There is a turret at the exit in the east and west directions. There are three Japs inside each. In addition to the puppet troops patrolling the town, there are 20 Japs in the town office!"
Reports from famous soldiers.
"Okay, it's easy to handle now. We'll just wait for the cavalry regiment to arrive, and then we'll take action. As long as we can kill the little Japs, we can win this Zhuanmiao Town!" Li Zheng, the leader of the guard platoon, squatted on the street.
Next to the firewood pile at the back door of the shop, while talking, he subconsciously touched the short gun on his waist.
Qianli Zhuang and other places were not far from Zhuanmiao Town. After defeating the pursuing Japanese and puppet troops, the cavalry regiment could reach Zhuanmiao Town with one sudden advance.
The two companies led by Li Yunlong blocked the west entrance of Zhuanmiao Town, while the two companies led by Sun Desheng detoured back to the east entrance from the north.
The puppet troops guarding the entrance of the town were very alert. As soon as the Eighth Route Army cavalry showed signs, the puppet troops on the gun tower immediately fired warning shots, and the puppet troops at the checkpoint quickly blocked the horse at the door.
"Damn it, these puppet troops react very quickly. Quickly, assemble the Type 92 infantry cannon and give them some color to see!" Li Yunlong scolded and asked the soldiers to speed up.
At the same time, the patrol team on the streets in the town rushed to the west entrance of the village for reinforcements, and a rapid whistle sounded in the town office.
"Do it!" the guard platoon leader shouted, took out the two short guns from his waist, and rushed toward the door of the town hall in one step and two steps. The two soldiers beside him moved in response.
"Bah, bang, bang!" Under the brief but fierce fire attack, the two little devils at the door of the town hall fell to the ground.
In an instant, twelve soldiers from the guard platoon gathered at the door of the town hall. Upon seeing this, the guard platoon leader shouted: "Come in and kill the little devil inside!"
When the kid inside heard the gunfire, he reacted just as quickly. The originally assembled team immediately dispersed. A light machine gun was mounted on a carriage, and several other kid guys moved along the wall toward the door.
The two soldiers from the guard platoon who rushed in from the main entrance rolled to both sides under the fire of the Japanese machine guns. Then the soldiers who climbed onto the roof of the corner wing opened fire fiercely at the Japanese machine gunners.
The guard platoon soldiers who sneaked into the town in advance carried short guns with them. In order to maximize the firepower advantage of the city, they adopted the tactic of hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
Compared with the firepower of short guns, in such a close encounter, the little devil's 38-meter cover does not have an advantage.
Outside the town, two assembled Type 92 infantry cannons were pushed up by soldiers. Li Yunlong had already heard the fierce gunfire in the town, and without any hesitation: "Hit it hard, you son of a bitch!"
"
"Tong Tong!" Six artillery shells were fired at the puppet troops who were trying to resist. The gun tower standing on the side of the door was immediately destroyed by the shells. The Japanese soldiers inside were immediately buried alive, and the puppet troops outside the gun tower also suffered.
Although the tactics were simple and crude, they were extremely effective. Taking advantage of the panic of the puppet army, the cavalry was mixed with the infantry to advance rapidly.
Gunshots were heard from both sides of the town, and there was also chaos in the town. The actual ruler of Zhuanmiao Town, Xiaojiazi, disappeared at the critical moment.
"Quickly, request reinforcements from the imperial army in Caoxian County!" the leader of the puppet army grabbed a puppet soldier next to him and said.
The puppet soldier rolled and crawled towards the side room where the puppet soldiers were resting near the town entrance, and dialed the phone in a panic: "Hello, hello, Taijun, Taijun, Zhuanmiao Town was attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army.
Requesting immediate reinforcements, the Eighth Route Army is about to invade!"
"How many people are there in the Eighth Route Army? What are their weapons and equipment?"
While holding the microphone, the puppet soldier glanced randomly towards the entrance of the town: "The Eighth Route Army has probably thousands of people, and everyone has a gun in their hand. There are no less than ten heavy machine guns, six cannons, and four or five others."
Hundreds of cavalry!”
"Nani?" The Japanese officer on the other end was shocked when he heard this. He was obviously frightened by the data compiled by the puppet army.
