Although there were not many reinforcements sent, the Japanese troops ordered to reinforce them still felt that they should be safe from Suzhou to Wocheng. In this occupied area, no one dared to cause trouble for them.

Even though many Japanese and puppet troops believed that the Japanese on the march still maintained a corresponding vigilance. In contrast, the puppet troops who were ordered to accompany them seemed relatively relaxed, and more of them rushed to follow the Japanese.

There is more than 100 kilometers from Suzhou to Wocheng. If you walk forward, it will still consume some physical strength. Fortunately, the Japanese and puppet troops ordered a rest and rest in the middle, and even the Japanese and puppet troops who were rushing the road the next day were in good spirits.

Seeing that the distance between Wocheng was getting longer and longer, the Japanese and puppet troops who had been walking for a day all hoped to arrive at Wocheng early so that they could have a hot meal and have a good sleep. The Japanese and puppet troops who were in charge of the alert earlier also relaxed their vigilance.

On the other hand, Hu Biao and others lying in the ambush position were quietly watching the Japanese and puppet troops strode into the ambush circle. Hu Biao, who was staying on a high ground, quietly watching the Japanese and Japanese advancements, ready to issue shelling orders at any time.

When the Japanese vehicle responsible for transporting supplies officially entered the strike range of the artillery detachment, Hu Biao also said: "Pillar, send a signal to the artillery detachment and start the artillery detachment! Blast it first and then talk about it!"

In order to reduce casualties between the offensive troops, Hu Biao brought out a lot of artillery from the storage space. In order to avoid scaring the Japanese around him, Hu Biao did not use heavy artillery. The artillery he selected was more common on the battlefield.

With Hu Biao's order, Tian Tiezhu, who was standing beside Hu Biao, picked up the red flag in his hand and began to wave it. On the artillery position below, the artillery squad leader was also waiting for the signal. Seeing the red flag waving, he shouted: "Arson ready to set it off!"

With the order of the artillery squad leader, the artillery members who had been waiting for a long time fired out the shells in their hands at the same time. The Japanese and puppet troops who were moving on the road did not notice that the danger was about to come until the shells roared.

Just as the Japanese heard the sound and felt something was wrong, when they looked up, shells had fallen from the sky. When the Japanese screamed and hid, the first round of shells had fallen, and they hit the road heavily and bloomed in an instant.

The explosion sounded like "boom, boom, boom" and the combat troops lying in the trenches immediately opened the disguise on the position. Everyone's muzzles were unanimously aimed at the Japanese who were scattered on the road, pulled the trigger and shot.

The Japanese officer who was lucky enough to escape the first round of artillery fire looked at the ambush on both sides of the highway and said in surprise and horror: "Baga! How could there be a Chinese army here? Defend it on the spot! Immediately send a report to the defenders of Wocheng to help them quickly reinforce!"

For many Japanese troops, they did not encounter artillery attacks from the Anti-Japanese War troops. If they were on the battlefield and were violently bombarded by the Anti-Japanese War troops, it means that the scale and strength of the Anti-Japanese War troops were worthy of the Japanese war to be vigilant and careful.

No one expected that in such a place they encountered an anti-Japanese war troops with artillery troops. What shocked the Japanese army the most was the firepower of the ambush on both sides, which was also beyond their imagination.

On the other hand, when the accompanying puppet troops saw such fierce artillery fire and dense firepower, many puppet troops were instantly frightened. They began to flee in a panic and scattered manner. No matter how Japanese devils restrained them, they would not work under the threat of artillery shells.

Only some puppet soldiers with battlefield experience shouted from time to time: "Don't run around, those who want to survive should find a place to settle down!"

These puppet troops knew that when they were ambushed, their legs could not beat the shells at all. The more they were in a panic, the more likely they were to be killed by the explosion shrapnel. If they lay down, they might still be able to seek a glimmer of hope.

Unfortunately, many young puppet troops who have no combat experience and usually act as dog-legged people do not know the experience of saving lives on these battlefields. In other words, at this moment, they only have one idea in mind, that is, run away from this place quickly.

On the other hand, the Japanese who survived seemed more qualified and responded quickly. Some machine gunners quickly looked for good shooting points near the highway and began to strafuse the ambush positions next to the highway, and some Japanese also began to counterattack.

In response to this situation, Qin Tianyou, who was in charge of the front line, yelled from time to time: "Sniper, kill the Japanese machine gunners for me, and those damn grenade launchers, don't give them a chance to set them up. Machine gunners, fight me hard!"

Zhao Cheng's army, who was on the other side, was responsible for blocking the attack, and as they watched more and more Japanese attackers attacking their side, they felt pressured and said: "Grandma, why are these Japanese soldiers running towards us? Do you think we are easy to bully?"

Judging from the number of people, it is obvious that Zhao Cheng's military headquarters has more troops. However, in terms of firepower, the firepower of Zhao Cheng's military headquarters is obviously not as dense as that of the task force. Even the surviving Japanese detachments planned to open a gap from Zhao Cheng's military headquarters.

Hu Biao, who always paid attention to the situation on the battlefield, also said in a timely manner: "Order the mortar team to provide artillery support to friendly forces! Let the grenade squad attack, suppress the Japanese's counterattack momentum, and defeat them as soon as possible!"

"Yes, captain!"

As Tian Tiezhu waved the red flag in his hand again, the soldiers responsible for observing informed the situation in time. The battlefield commander also immediately adjusted the offensive rhythm according to the corresponding combat instructions and carried out a precise strike against the Japanese.

Seeing the artillery shells falling from the sky and the Japanese offensive troops slowly withdrawing, the colonel commander who was standing on the position, also said angrily: "Transfer the reserve team and fight me hard! One regiment cannot beat another company, which is embarrassing!"

He knew that Hu Biao transferred the artillery fire and provided reinforcements to them, and he did not want the Japanese to break out from them. But he thought that there were only a hundred officers and soldiers in the task force across the road, and the colonel commander felt his face burning.

Originally, he planned to retain some strength, but when the Japanese devils regarded them as soft persimmons, the colonel commander naturally felt angry. Even if the officers and soldiers on other positions knew that they were not as good as the task force, they would not want people to look down on them.

As Zhao Cheng's military headquarters began to stabilize, the pressure on the Japanese and puppet troops surviving on the highway was undoubtedly increasing. Just when a Japanese officer was about to retreat, he heard gunshots coming from behind.

"Baga! We are surrounded! Relying on the road, we build blocking positions and hold on to aid! Judging from the enemy's firepower, the ambushing us must be the main force of the Chinese army. Damn, we didn't receive any information before!"

In the eyes of the surviving Japanese commander, this territory should be within the control of the Wocheng garrison troops. Such a powerful anti-Japanese war armed force appeared in the territory, and the Japanese army in Wocheng did not notice it.

However, at this time, it doesn’t work if they blame or complain in their hearts. If they want to survive, they can only hope that reinforcements from Wocheng can come as soon as possible. In that case, they may be able to break through.

Unfortunately, just when the Japanese were about to stick to the rescue, looking at the Japanese who were gathering again, Hu Biao said again: "Import the mountain artillery team and let them open it too, and reward the Japanese with a few mountain artillery shells and try it out!"

Tian Tiezhu heard this and smiled and said, "Yes, captain!"

When the four mountain cannons began to join the battle, the surviving Japanese army was shocked again and said: "Baga! These Chinese troops actually have mountain cannons? Bageya Road! What exactly do our intelligence personnel and defenders do for?"

Infantry can penetrate mountains and ridges into the Japanese-controlled area, but these bulky fire roads must be used. Even if the mountain cannons are not too heavy, they must use vehicles such as carriages. It is almost impossible to carry them with manpower alone.

Highways are often the key places for the Japanese army to monitor in the enemy-occupied areas. These mountain artillery and troops escaped the Japanese surveillance and came here, which was indeed beyond the expectations of being ambushed by the Japanese army. In the eyes of these Japanese troops, that is the dereliction of duty between the special high school class and the local defenders!

While these surviving Japanese troops urged Wocheng to send troops to reinforce quickly, and did not forget to complain, they vaguely heard the sound of gunfire from outside the city, and the garrison officer of Wocheng who was waiting for reinforcements was also shocked: "Baga! There is a battle outside the city!"

"Your Excellency the Guardian, although the sound is not very accurate, it should be the sound of shell explosion!"

"Not good! Someone ambushed our reinforcements outside the city!"

"Governor, this is unlikely, isn't it?"

Compared to the garrison officer, he guessed that one of the two sides of the city's foreign fire must have been reinforcements from Suzhou, while the other officers found it unlikely. The reason is that the reinforcements have strong forces and equipment.

Although there were small groups of anti-Japanese war armed forces in Wocheng, it was impossible to ambush thousands of Japanese and puppet troops in broad daylight. These officers seemed to have no anti-Japanese war armed forces. When they received the telegram for help, all the officers were shocked.

Only the garrison officer of Wocheng, looking at the already assembled reinforcements, immediately said: "Go immediately and rush to the ambush site to reinforce our troops. The rest of the troops will defend the city and guard against the Chinese army's sneak attack!"

Considering that reinforcements were ambushed and might be criticized by the superiors, the garrison officer of Wocheng decided to lead the troops to attack in person. Even when he left the city, the garrison officer did not notify the puppet army at all. In his opinion, when the puppet army completed the assembly, the daylily would be cold.

In this case, it would be better to let these puppet troops stay in the city and cooperate with the remaining troops to defend the city. When the entire city is blocked and the ammunition of the puppet troops is confiscated, he believes that these puppet troops should not be able to make any big waves.

However, the garrison officer had no idea that when he led his troops to aid the ambushed Japanese and puppet army brigade outside the city, his reconnaissance team that had always monitored their operations and quickly launched an operation. Boxes of bullets were secretly transported to the puppet army's garrison.

Although the puppet army officers who were bribed felt a little timid and guilty, they learned that there was a division of the national army outside the city who was ambushing the Japanese. They thought that the national army's chances of winning should be quite large.
