Yang Zhen had a good estimate. Although there were many Japanese and puppet soldiers pursuing the dozen or so people, their vigilance was not strict. Perhaps it was because they were eager to make contributions, or perhaps it was because they believed that their opponents had no counterattack strength. Except for those who faced those dozen or so people, most of them were marching in a busy manner, and they were pursuing desperately under the supervision of the officers.

Just after Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun had just occupied the hills on the east and west sides of this mountain road, the large Japanese and puppet troops had already arrived under Yang Zhen's nose.

Watching the mountain running rapidly, while occasionally squatting down, relying on the terrain to block the pursuers with few bullets on hand. Under the pursuit of the pursuers, the anti-Japanese war team, which had less than ten people, was squatting beside Yang Zhen, the company commander of the 2nd Company of the 18th Group Army, Liu Changshun, a soldier of the 18th Group Army, whispered to Yang Zhen: "Can the commander take action? If you don't act, all those people will be finished."

Yang Zhen, who was chasing the Japanese and puppet troops in the distance, heard Liu Changshun's question, shook his head and said, "After waiting for a while, the Japanese and puppet troops have not yet fully entered the encirclement. Now they can only start a fire."

After saying that, Yang Zhen looked at Liu Changshun, who was a little nervous, and said in a stern tone: "How did I teach you when I was in the secret camp? I couldn't hold back so quickly? You are still a veteran. You are a soldier now. You may be more troops in the future. If you can't hold back so much, how can I feel at ease to hand over the troops to your hands?"

Hearing Yang Zhen's reprimand, Liu Changshun smiled bitterly but did not speak. He had to concentrate on the Japanese and puppet troops entering the ambush circle at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing the Japanese and puppet troops at the foot of the mountain entering the ambush circle one after another, Yang Zhen picked up the gun and prepared. However, Yang Zhen did not use his pistol, but took a Type 38 rifle from a soldier beside him.

After Yang Zhen took the rifle, he pulled out of the gun chamber with the bullets that had been pressed out of the gun chamber. He gently polished the bullets into deep grooves on a stone in front of him before pressing the bullets back into the gun chamber. After doing all this quietly, Yang Zhen opened the security and pointed the muzzle at a puppet Manchukuo military police riding on a horse.

Because it was a mountain march, except for more than a dozen horses carrying heavy machine guns, mortars and ammunition, most of the Japanese and puppet soldiers were marching on foot. They rode on horseback and kept observing the movements in front of them with telescopes, and constantly urged the only one of the soldiers around them. Even if they used their toes, this person wearing the uniform of the puppet Manchukuo police should be the commander of the Japanese and puppet soldiers.

Adhering to the ancient saying of shooting people first and capturing the king first, Yang Zhen naturally would not let go of such an obvious target easily. And this carefree man did not expect that a rifle had already aimed at him. This old man who was unscrupulous and became the first victim of the gunshot that Yang Zhen was signaling.

When he saw all the Japanese and puppet soldiers at the foot of the mountain entering the ambush circle, Yang Zhen raised his rifle and steadily put his tall figure into his sight. He gently said to Liu Changshun beside him: "Order those heavy machine guns to concentrate their firepower to attack the Japanese army first, and hand the remaining puppet Manchukuo military police to the light machine guns and rifles to clean up. As long as the Japanese army is destroyed, the remaining puppet troops will be able to clean up."

After saying that, Yang Zhen gently pulled the trigger of the Type 38 rifle in his hand that he had modified. With a crisp sound of gunshots, some of the bullets had been worn out in the chamber, revealing the lead core inside the bullet. The actual lethality was approaching Dam's bullet and drilled straight into the knight who was riding on the horse.

After Yang Zhen's simple transformation, the ballistics had changed. It was no longer the original straight and straight-forward Arisaka 6.5mm rifle bullet drilled into the man's body and easily circled around in a circle, almost messing up his internal organs, and then left his back with a large mass of flesh and blood.

After being shot, the man who had just worried that the fat meat that had just been in his mouth had flew away and was still desperately urging his subordinates to speed up, and then fell to the horse without even humming.

Perhaps it was because the Anti-Japanese United Army had been too smooth during this period, which significantly reduced the vigilance of these Japanese and puppet troops.

When Yang Zhen shot down the horse's people with one shot, most of them had not yet realized what was going on.

It was obvious that the enemies ambushed on both sides of the valley did not intend to give them time to wake up. The sound of the gunshot that had just suddenly sounded had not yet fallen, and dense gunshots rang around the valley almost at the same time. When these Japanese and puppet troops found someone attacked and were looking for cover according to their usual tactical requirements, they had been knocked down more than half of them.

Especially according to Yang Zhen's order, they were listed as the first choice target. The dozens of well-trained Japanese troops who were originally the leader behind the team were far from comparable to those of the Japanese soldiers and police. Because they were on a small piece of pioneering ground, although they reacted at the first time and looked for cover at the fastest speed. However, with the concentrated care of three heavy machine guns and priority strikes, there were still casualties and embers in a short time.

He realized that he was caught in the ambushed Japanese and puppet troops and realized that his commander had been shot dead at the first time and could not die anymore. He immediately reacted that he was caught in the ambush.

After all, it was trained by elite Japanese Kwantung Army and specially used to deal with the forest police of the Anti-Japanese United Army. Not only did they imitate the Japanese army in tactical actions, but their weapons and equipment were completely imitated by this fierce aura, which also inherited the style of their Japanese masters.

After discovering that he had also fired a dense bullet on his back. After knowing that he had been surrounded, these puppet Manchukuo police trained by the Kwantung Army, under the command of Japanese officers at all levels who were deputy but had real power, launched a continuous counterattack against the mountains on both sides, trying to seize one of the mountains and resist stubbornly.

It was just that they did not expect that the opponent in front of them was not the anti-Japanese United Army troops that lacked training. It was a force that had been almost cruelly trained for a month and a half and specially trained against the combat characteristics of the puppet Manchukuo Army.

Although it took a month and a half, Yang Zhen, who knew that his army's weakness was, trained hard, and the battle was quite decent.

Especially when Yang Zhen was not stingy with bullets and almost knocked out more than half of the ammunition on hand, although most people's marksmanship cannot be compared with the elite Japanese soldiers, this marksmanship is basically just a matter of course. In particular, the machine gun firepower is easy to attack, and although the accuracy is not comparable to that of Japanese veterans, it is still a little stronger than these puppet Manchukuo military and police. At first glance, I thought these people were veterans who had been through the battlefield for a long time.

Yang Zhen, who fired the first shot in the lead, naturally would not compete for military achievements with his subordinates. After firing the five bullets in the gun, Yang Zhen threw the rifle back to his original owner. Now Xiao Huzi, who is currently serving as his guard and correspondent, grabbed the telescope and continuously adjusted and deployed the situation on the battlefield while evaluating the training results of the past month and a half.

The puppet Manchukuo military and police at the foot of the mountain suffered more than half of their casualties, especially after the casualties of Japanese officers who were supervising the battle, they finally lost the courage to resist. Except for those traitors who came from, who thought that the troops surrounding them were the Anti-Japanese United Army, they knew that if they were caught back, the plainclothes team composed of traitors who were still fighting stubbornly, the rest of the puppet Manchukuo military and police who escaped by chance had already shown a trend of disintegration under the intensive firepower attack.

Seeing that the stubborn resistance of the puppet Manchukuo military and police at the foot of the mountain had collapsed, Yang Zhen immediately adjusted his deployment and seized the time to issue an order to attack the entire line.

In order to avoid casualties, Yang Zhen turned all the two heavy machine guns and the remaining more than 500 heavy machine gun bullets to the plainclothes teams, suppressing these people tightly in a small river. As for the final treatment of these people, Yang Zhen thought about it for a while, and it would be better to hand them over to Peng Dingjie.

Perhaps it was because of a little bit of communication. After Yang Zhen had just issued the order to attack the whole line, Guo Bingxun on the opposite mountain and commanded two companies to detour and were using fierce fire to block the orders of attack by Peng Dingjie, who tried to break through the blockade line and escaped from the day of the puppet Manchukuo military and police, issued the order to attack almost at the same time.

Seeing the opponent rushing in front of him, less than 40% of them were left at this time. Under the fierce firepower attack, the puppet Manchukuo military and police raised their hands one after another.

Pushing the pistol back to the holster at his waist, Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun who came up, said: "Old Guo, clean the battlefield carefully, and no one can be let go."

Guo Bingxun nodded, and after giving instructions to the two company commanders who were following him, he pointed at a small river trapped at the foot of a mountain with his chin. He forced his way through several forced breakthroughs and was suppressed back by heavy machine guns that were suppressing them. He could only rely on the firepower of the large number of fast and slow machines and two crooked light machine guns in his hand, using the riverside as a fortification, and was confronting Peng Dingjie who had already rushed up and said, "What should those people do?"

Yang Zhen turned his head and looked at the traitors, turned around and ordered Liu Changshun beside him, saying, "You go and collect the seized grenades and send them to the political commissar. Tell the political commissar that he will handle the traitors with all his powers. I and the Chief of Staff will not interfere. Also tell him that you don't have to worry about ammunition, everything is based on reducing casualties."

When Liu Changshun heard Yang Zhen's order, he nodded without saying anything, turned around and left to execute the order. No one hates the traitors, and Liu Changshun is naturally no exception. Moreover, he also heard the words reported by Li Mingrui, Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun, and naturally he would not show mercy to these traitors.

After Liu Changshun left, Yang Zhen took out the pocket watch that Shiro Ishii took a look and said to Guo Bingxun: "It seems that the hard work of this month and a half has not been in vain, and this battle is still unsatisfactory."

"Old Yang, don't be dissatisfied. It took only a short forty minutes from the Japanese and puppet troops entering the encirclement until the end of the battle, and none of the Japanese and puppet troops missed the net. This is an amazing achievement for a unit that has only been trained for a month and a half. You can't compare these newly formed soldiers with those veterans who have been on the battlefield, right?"

"Even if you catch a few hundred pigs, it's not enough time, let alone the people with hundreds of guns and cannons." Guo Bingxun could only shake his head and smile bitterly at Yang Zhen's unsatisfactory words.

Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "Old Guo, I'm not dissatisfied. I said it was unsatisfactory, not the result of the battle. You just saw that during the entire battle, some company and platoon commands were disconnected, and after launching the charge, there were many problems in the use of some necessary tactics. Everyone, including those company and platoon leaders, had to strengthen their tactical training in the civilian."

"There is also a bit too much to consume ammunition. We had no other source of ammunition except for seizing it, but during the battle just now, I carefully observed that a lot of ammunition was wasted. The machine gun could not see the point shot, and they were all fired continuously. And the rifles of more than one of the enemies who had been killed were still aiming and re-energizing."

"Old Guo, to be honest, when the Japanese and puppet troops just started to enter the ambush circle, my heart was always hanging. Sixty percent of the new recruits in the army who had never fought wars, and most commanders at all levels were promoted assaults. There were not many officers in the original army. I have always been worried that some people would not be able to calm down. Before the main Japanese forces came in, they would shoot first, exposing our tactical intentions."

"Don't talk about others, even the Liu Changshun next to me couldn't hold back. If I hadn't suppressed it, I'm afraid this kid would have launched the attack first."

"What I said was unsatisfactory is the problems I mentioned. A month and a half of training was just to build the troops into a blanket. As for training them into a group of qualified soldiers, we still have a long way to go."

"In order to reduce casualties, I used firepower to kill the enemy to the greatest extent. But we cannot instill in the soldiers the idea of ​​relying on firepower to solve problems. The reason why we solved the battle so quickly today is that we achieved the suddenness of tactics and caught the Japanese and puppet troops off guard."

"2 Although we are in the same way as the Japanese and puppet troops in terms of firepower configuration, we have achieved concentrated firepower allocation. Only then can we rely on dense firepower to defeat these Japanese and puppet troops. These two points are the most fundamental factors that we can win today."

"If the soldiers establish everything by relying on firepower to solve problems, it will not be beneficial to us in the long run. First, even if we are concentrating firepower, the gap is still huge compared to the regular Japanese troops. Second, we do not have the ability to produce ammunition, and all ammunition is relied on seizure. We do not have this foundation to fight firepower with the Japanese and puppet troops."

"The reason why I am not stingy with the use of ammunition is that I am worried that the insufficient training of the troops will cause a large number of casualties to fight against the Japanese and puppet troops. This battle is another first battle, and it is good for me to encourage the morale of the troops with the smallest casualties. Next time, I can't be so generous."

Upon hearing this, Guo Bingxun nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. In this battle, the ammunition we carried was basically exhausted. The new recruits still don't know how to control the use of ammunition, and the veterans are used to being miscellaneous brands. This time you give orders to try to eliminate the enemy with firepower, and you will be able to fight happily."

Speaking of this, Guo Bingxun looked at the warrior who was cleaning the battlefield and said, "Fortunately, the ammunition we seized in this battle should also be reserved in addition to supplementing consumption. As for weapons, the few companies that are still bare-handed can also be equipped with all."

"As for the problems that arise in the army's battle, we have to take it slowly. After all, it is rare to be able to organize the army in a month and a half. It is not a good thing to encourage growth of seedlings, they still need time to exercise."

After hearing what Guo Bingxun said, Yang Zhen was just trying to say something, but he didn't expect the topic to be interrupted by the people brought by Xiao Huzi.

Looking at the ragged and bearded people in front of him, they were seriously malnourished. Yang Zhen quietly ordered Xiao Huzi and walked to the people who were looking at him with doubt and confusion.

One of the people brought by Xiaohuzi walked up to Yang Zhen and greeted an unstandard military salute, and said first: "We are the troops of the Fourth Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. I am the commander of the Fourth Army of the Fourth Army. Thank you for your strong help in the face of our army's crisis. I wonder what team your headquarters is, and who is the shopkeeper of the mountain?"

It is obvious that the Anti-Japanese Allied General regarded Yang Zhen's troops as the snare of the forest team, so he asked this question.
