As Mengcheng was recovered, the Japanese troops stationed in Bengbu also began to increase their vigilance, worried that the front of the anti-Japanese war troops would attack. Hearing the explosions outside the city, the Japanese troops stationed inside and outside the city realized that they were in trouble.

Compared with the Japanese troops stationed at the airport, they are more vigilant and guard against possible attacks. The Japanese troops stationed in the city are beginning to worry about the safety of the railway. They are very confident in defending the city, but it is definitely not that easy to defend the railway within the territory.

When he received a call from the bunker defenders, he learned that the Eighth Route Army was destroying the railway, and the Japanese commander of the defenders was also very angry. But he knew better that it was difficult to ensure that the railway was not destroyed by the defenders in Bengbu alone.

What made them even more worried was that the Eighth Route Army had already infiltrated the territory, and they had not received any news before. After taking over Bengbu, the Japanese army also launched several clearance operations, basically suppressing or eliminating the rebel armed forces in the territory.

Now that I learned that the Eighth Route Army appeared in the defense area, if you don’t worry at all, it must be fake!

When the troops were drawn out of the city to reinforce, the garrison officer also convened his subordinates to a meeting and asked: "What do you think about the Tujiao 8th Route Army's sneak attack on bunkers and destroying the railway? Do you need to report to your superiors and request reinforcements?"

"Governor, has the latest information received by the Intelligence Department?"

Faced with the inquiry from the garrison officer, the commander quickly mentioned intelligence matters. Recently, accidents have occurred frequently in northern Anhui, but the Japanese intelligence departments have failed to provide more valuable intelligence, which has made many officers quite dissatisfied.

The intelligence officer who was questioned also said helplessly: "Governor, I have sent out all the intelligence officers I can send out earlier, but I haven't sent much valuable information. As for Mengcheng, all the information I received is above!"

In fact, there have been continuous changes in northern Anhui during this period, and the pressure on the Japanese military's special high school classes is naturally very high. The problem is that the current intelligence collection targets of the Japanese military's special high school classes are more placed on the front line of Wuhan than in the rear of northern Anhui.

The sudden appearance of the task force, coupled with the Fifth War Zone, the Eighth Route Army, and the New Fourth Army, was indeed beyond the expectations of all Japanese commanders. No matter how powerful the special high school class is, it will take a certain amount of time to find out valuable information.

The most important thing is that when the Japanese army launched an attack on these cities, the intelligence personnel they hid in their early years undoubtedly became heroes, and most of them were exposed. At that time, most of the Japanese intelligence personnel were hiding in the dark.

Now that these cities have been occupied by them, the hidden spies have lost the meaning of continuing to hide. Now that they want to inquire about intelligence, they must send spies again, spend money or other means to inquire about intelligence.

Bai Chongxi and others, who had already suffered losses, strengthened intelligence monitoring from the day they dispatched their troops. As for collecting intelligence from the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army, it undoubtedly took more time for the Japanese spies.

As for collecting intelligence from the task force, there is no way to talk about it. Unless the Japanese army can install intelligence personnel into the rescue team or the task force, it will be extremely difficult to find out the location of the task force's activities.

Just as the Japanese commanders were discussing and analyzing the war, they looked at the reinforcements running from afar, and the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment who had been waiting for a long time also began to hold the weapons in their hands and aimed the muzzle at the Japanese and puppet troops who were about to step into the ambush circle.

Sun Weimin, who was lying on the hillside to observe the enemy situation, was also observing the distance between the Japanese and puppet troops. When the Japanese and puppet troops finally entered the ambush circle, Sun Min waved his hand and said, "Fire the artillery! The whole regiment attacked!"

Several mortars set up on the hillside immediately launched artillery bombardment at the marching Japanese and puppet troops. At the same time, Sun Weimin also pulled the trigger in his hand. As soon as the gunshots sounded, the Eighth Route Army soldiers hidden in the trenches pulled the trigger in their hands one after another.

While the gunfire was loud, several shells fell from the sky. The Japanese and puppet troops who were moving instantly realized that they were in ambush. Faced with the bullets fired on both sides of the road, countless Japanese and puppet troops fell to death on the spot, which made the Eighth Route Army soldiers very excited.

"Blow! Hit me hard! The commander said, the bullets are good enough this time! Damn, bastard, aim and hit!"

The company platoon leaders who stayed in the trenches were inspiring their subordinates to fight with words while also not forgetting to command. As the troops that had just been formed, these newly reorganized officers and soldiers really needed some practical experience.

On the other hand, the Japanese and puppet troops who were ambushed reacted quickly. However, in the face of the sudden ambush, coupled with the fierce firepower of bullets and artillery shells, many Japanese and puppet troops fled in a hurry, and a few Japanese troops also began to launch counterattacks.

Realizing that the road was too empty, a Japanese officer soon said: "Hurry! Put the corpses together as bunkers, grenadiers, set up grenade launchers, machine gunners, build machine gun positions, and counterattack! Quickly, organize counterattacks on the spot!"

Seeing that the Eighth Route Army had surrounded him, the Japanese army that survived quickly realized that they would pay a heavier price if they wanted to break through. Only now could they have to stick to the spotlight and wait for reinforcements from the subsequent troops.

The ambush circle is not far from Bengbu City. Once the battle here sounds, the troops in the city will soon know. As long as they persist for a while, they believe that they can escape and break through. Using corpses to stack sandbags as covers is a helpless move, but they can save their lives!

As the surviving Japanese expected, the Japanese garrison officer who was discussing affairs in the city heard the sound of guns and cannons coming from outside the city and quickly rushed out of the conference room and asked: "The sound of guns and cannons coming from there? Hurry up, go check immediately!"

Not long after, the Japanese officer in charge of defending the city hurried over and said, "Governor, the troops out of the city are attacking five miles away! Judging from the dense sound of gunfire, the enemy has at least a thousand troops!"

"Baga! Damn it! What does the city defense force eat? What does the intelligence department eat? The enemy lurked under our noses, and we didn't notice it! Incompetent! Hurry up, assemble the troops immediately and go out of the city to reinforce!"

As the garrison officer issued an order, an officer soon said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate!"

"What about you? What's wrong?"

"The enemy situation is unknown! The troops in the city are insufficient! If the troops are drawn to reinforce, I am afraid that the city defense will be empty. If it is ridden by the enemy, then we really cannot explain to the higher authorities. Your garrison officer, should you ask the airport defenders to help?"

Although I know that the garrison officials sent troops to rescue, I was also worried about the safety of the troops leaving the city. The problem is that more than half of the troops had been drawn out of the city before. Then the remaining troops were drawn, then Bengbu City might become an unguarded city.

If there were other troops lurking outside the city, Bengbu City, which was ineffective, it would be difficult to resist the incoming enemies. If you really want to lose Bengbu City, even if you rescue the troops that had previously left the city to reinforce, they would be difficult for them to explain to the higher authorities.

After listening to his subordinate's advice, the garrison officer thought for a while: "This is reasonable! Hurry up, call the airport immediately and ask them to draw a squadron to reinforce. Then send a report to Suzhou to inform us of the enemy situation facing our headquarters!"

"Hi!"

At this moment, the Eighth Route Army soldiers kept shooting and killing the stubborn Japanese and puppet troops in the ambush circle. Similarly, the surviving Japanese Japanese began to counterattack the Eighth Route Army on both sides of the road with fortifications built with corpses.

The grenades fired from time to time also bombarded many Eighth Route Army soldiers. Many airports set up in trenches were also destroyed by the Japanese grenades. Seeing this scene, Sun Weimin was undoubtedly very angry.

He ordered: "Order the artillery to adjust the angle and destroy the Japanese's grenade launcher and airport position for me! These damn Japanese are really cruel. They actually use their bodies as sandbags. Damn, we must end the battle as soon as possible!"

On the other hand, the combat team members who were staying aside quickly said: "Captain Sun, let's get on! Let's solve the problem of those grenadiers and machine gunners. If you continue to get entangled, the next batch of reinforcements from the Japanese will probably arrive soon!"

"Okay, please trouble you!"

Originally, Sun Weimin didn't want the Task Force to take action, and wanted to see the combat strength of his subordinates. In any case, the Independent Regiment currently has more than 1,000 people. It is logical that the Japanese and puppet troops ambushed about 500 people should have an absolute advantage.

But after a battle, Sun Weimin discovered that the Japanese devils who had gradually stabilized began to fight back against the Independent Regiment with their built fortifications. Looking at the officers and soldiers who were blown up from time to time, Sun Weimin felt very uncomfortable.

Now the personnel sent by the task force take the initiative to apply for help, and even if Sun Weimin feels blushed, he will not refuse. If he really wants to be entangled by subsequent Japanese reinforcements, even if the Independent Regiment wins the final victory, it will probably be a big deal!

There was only one squad of combat team members who cooperated with the Independent Regiment to launch an ambush. As the elite of the reconnaissance team, the combat effectiveness of this squad was naturally extraordinary. As the reconnaissance squad joined the battle, the surviving Japanese army was quickly suppressed.

The sniper half-squatted and raised his gun, constantly shooting the Japanese grenades behind the body. The grenades of the reconnaissance squad used the grenade launchers to destroy the machine gun positions set up by the Japanese army one by one. For a time, the pressure of the Eighth Route Army suddenly decreased.

Seeing this scene, Sun Weimin said with emotion: "I really don't know how Mr. Hu and other soldiers were trained! It would be great if the guns with scopes could be given to us a few!"

Cooperating with the task force to fight, Sun Weimin also began to know that sniper rifles are of great use. Compared with ordinary rifles, the range of sniper rifles can directly threaten the Japanese grenadiers. With such snipers, offensive defense can play a great role.

Hearing what Sun Weimin said, the chief of staff standing next to him smiled bitterly: "Captain, this matter is unlikely! I tried to ask before, and this gun was customized by Mr. Hu, and he didn't have much hands!"

"Forget it! After this battle, I will ask Mr. Hu again. Even if I buy it, we must spend money to buy a few such guns! With this kind of sniper rifle, we can ambush or attack later to reduce casualties in the army!"
