Bright Sword: An eight-year-old boy led a group to fight the Japanese invaders

Ding Wei and Kong Jie had both read the telegram. Ding Wei comforted him, "Old Li, the independent brigade is different from us. They have very strong firepower.

They were probably afraid that the Japanese would escape, so they asked us to block their retreat. This was for the sake of the outcome of the battle.

Besides, Wang Ye is not familiar with us, so he dare not let us play as the main force."

Kong Jie also said, "Lao Li, we came here to cooperate this time.

We will do whatever the independent brigade arranges!"

Li Yunlong sat aside without saying anything, then he looked at the map and laughed.

"If we block the retreat, then block the retreat. If the independent brigade can really beat the Japanese back, I will definitely not let a single Japanese escape."

At 4: p.m. the next day, Wang Ye and Zhao Gang stood at the top of the temporary command post and looked at the road in the distance.

The reconnaissance squadron reported the movements of the Japanese at any time, and a puppet army corps of the vanguard troops was about to arrive.

Sure enough, not long after, the soldiers of the 1st and 6th squadrons on the battlefield heard the occasional sound of machine guns coming from the front of the road.

Just after 5 o'clock, the puppet troops finally appeared in the sight of the soldiers of the independent battalion.

There were two trucks leading the way, each with a machine gun on it. The puppet soldiers would open fire on any unfortunate areas around the road they saw.

There is only one purpose: in case of an ambush, sudden shooting will disrupt other people's deployment.

The puppet corps commander Wu Shiren sat in the truck at the back and smoked leisurely.

As the vanguard, this puppet army had more than 1500 men, all of whom were equipped with guns, including 6 mortars and 75 4mm mountain cannons made in Shanxi.

With this kind of firepower, ordinary guerrillas would not dare to get close.

"Crack!" The truck braked suddenly and stopped. Wu Shiren leaned forward and almost hit his head.

"You really want to die, don't you?"

Wu Shiren tilted his head and yelled at the driver.

The driver felt aggrieved, "Captain, I don't know what happened in front of me, but the car braked suddenly. If I hadn't been paying attention, my brothers might have been crushed."

Wu Shiren wanted to say, "If I can defeat him, then I can defeat him. Who can do anything to me?" Fortunately, he still had some intelligence and knew that such words would be hated on the battlefield.

Wu Shiren leaned his head out of the window and leaned forward to look, "What the hell is going on? Who told you to stop the car?

The Taijun said that we must reach the outskirts of Jing County before dark and build fortifications overnight.

We will attack early tomorrow morning. I will be the first to rush to the Jing County city wall. This time I will at least be promoted to brigade commander.

I'm going to say this on the mountain. If anyone hinders my promotion, don't say I don't give him face. I'll just shoot him!"

The battalion commander who was leading the way came trotting to Wu Shiren's car.

"Captain, we found fortifications built by the Tubalu ahead. We can't reach the county town today!"

"What the hell?" Wu Shiren was extremely surprised. Jing County was the base of the Third Brigade, with tall and strong city walls, and various bunkers and trenches outside the city.

The Eighth Route Army did not hide in the city to defend, but actually ran to the 15 kilometers outside the city to establish a defensive position.

Are these Eighth Route Army soldiers crazy?

"Have a look!"

Wu Shiren, along with his adjutant and battalion commander, walked to the front of the troops, which was less than one kilometer away from the position of the first squadron.

Wu Shiren looked at the opposite position through the telescope and took a deep breath.

Although he was a traitor and thought about getting promoted and making money every day, he was a former battalion commander of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and had attended military school.

"Oh my goodness, the opposing troops are a bit difficult to deal with!"

After saying that, he handed the telescope to the battalion commander next to him and said, "Look, the area within 500 meters in front of the trench has obviously been cleared.

If the attacking troops are suppressed, they won't even be able to find a shelter.

The trenches were dug in a curved manner. Although we could not see the distribution of the opposing firepower points, we could tell from the trenches alone that

These Eighth Route Army are not easy to deal with!"

The battalion commander put down the telescope and sighed, "Commander, it seems we can't reach Jing County today!"

"Send a telegram to the division commander, explain the situation here, and have the main force come over quickly!"

The main force of the puppet army following the vanguard was not far behind. Division Commander Huang Zheng was looking at the telegram in his hand.

He said in confusion, "What on earth do the Eighth Route Army want to do? They don't defend the strong city defenses, but instead run to the wild to establish defensive positions.

Are they going to fight a field battle with the Imperial Army? Do they have the time for this?"

The chief of staff suggested, "Division Commander, why don't you go over and take a look? The commander of the regiment, Colonel Tengshi Ryosuke, and Major General Sekigahara Roku are right behind us.

We can't afford to delay their plans!"

Huang Zhengyi thought so and said, "Full speed ahead!"

At 5:33 pm, the main force of the puppet army arrived, and Wu Shiren quickly found Huang Zheng.

"Division Commander, come and take a look at the position on the opposite side. These Eighth Route Army soldiers are not simple!"

Huang Zheng immediately reported to the commander of the 77th Regiment, Colonel Ryosuke Tengmu.

It's obvious at first glance that this is the main force of the Eighth Route Army. How can it be the independent battalion mentioned earlier?

The 77th Regiment's headquarters was together with the 39th Brigade's headquarters. They were 5 kilometers away from the puppet army division and were not moving very fast.

Tenmuro Ryosuke looked at the telegram in his hand and went straight to Sekigahara Roku, "Major General, Huang Sang sent a telegram that the independent brigade's defense position was found 15 kilometers north of Jing County."

"What?" Guan Yuanliu was not surprised to encounter the Eighth Route Army in the wild, but in the past, they were mainly ambushes.

When did the Eighth Route Army dare to openly establish defensive positions?

Haven't the battles of the imperial warriors in the past few years made the stupid Chinese people understand that in the wild, whether it is an encounter or a positional battle,

Are they no match for the great Imperial warriors?

After reading the telegram, Guan Yuanliu ordered, "Have Huang Sang send a regiment of troops to conduct a test attack and find out their firepower points.

We must pass Wujiapo before dark!"

"Hey!"

After receiving the telegram, Huang Zheng quickly ordered Wu Shiren to lead his troops to attack. The sun was about to set and time waited for no one.

Wang Dabao and Zhao Shengzheng ran over and said, "Captain Zhao, what do the devils mean by this? Why haven't they made any movement after being here for so long?"

Zhao Shengzheng is older and has much more combat experience than Wang Dabao.

"The Japanese will definitely try to attack. Captain Wang, remember to have all the troops hide their firepower points.

The combat effectiveness of the second devils cannot be compared with that of the Japs. I think it is enough to open fire at one-fifth of the firepower points!"

Wang Dabao is younger, but he has fought many Japanese. He said with a smile,

"I have already made arrangements. Even if the devils come to attack, my firepower points will not be fully opened, let alone these second devils!"

Zhao Sheng was looking at the enemy camp in the distance with a telescope. "Here they come! They are coming out!"

Wang Dabao took a look and saw that the Japanese devils had indeed divided thousands of people into combat formations and were carefully approaching the position of the independent battalion. Seeing this, the two men hurriedly ran back to their own positions.

"All units, please be aware, the enemy is making a tentative attack, one-fifth of the troops in each company or platoon should open fire."
