.

On a mountain road, a team of soldiers were walking along the other end of the foothills of the mountain. There were more than 200 soldiers, and more than 60 carriages were loaded with various supplies.

Walking to the mountain pass, a vanguard who was in charge of the road ahead ran back.

"Report to the company commander, our destination Sunjiazhuang is ahead, but we found a small team at the mountain pass."

"How many people are there on the other side? Where are the troops? Is there any hostility?"

"It's not clear yet. We're dressed very ordinary. We can't identify where the troops are from the outfits. The other party is very alert."

"Send someone to ask."

"OK."

After a while, the soldier came over with a hired groom who had just passed by with him.

"Hello, I am Yan Jianlong, the captain of the county brigade. Where are you from?" This man is in his forties and his clothes are simple. If he hadn't had a relay gun on his waist, it would be difficult to distinguish him from ordinary people.

"Shi Jiping, the company commander of the Sixth Army of Southwest, was ordered to come to Sunjiazhuang to station. This is the garrison order of the Northwest Command, with the signature of your Northwest Commander." Shi Jiping handed over a document.

After a little look at the official document, Yan Jianlong handed the official document back together.

"Company Commander Shi. The situation in Sunjiazhuang is a bit special now. Since Sunjiazhuang is a relatively large village in this area, from last week, not only did our county brigade enter here, but also our regiment and land troops will also arrive here tonight. I think Sunjiazhuang is defense is enough. There is no need for your troops to come." Yan Jianlong's words implicitly expressed their large number of troops and demonstrated in a small way.

"The army's order is like a mountain. In time, a military and local man in your army will enter here. We must also arrive at the designated location to garrison. This is not necessary for Captain Yan to worry about this. If there is nothing else, I think we should arrive at Sunjiazhuang as soon as possible. If Captain Yan is free, please help explain to your subordinates the reasons for our arrival so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings." After that, the troops marched forward again.

"Captain. Where are these troops?" Several men holding old sleeves and even old-fashioned muskets saw Yan Jianlong walking back and hurried forward to inquire.

"Nothing. It's the Central Army and the Local Army." Yan Jianlong answered lightly.

"The army of disasters?! Why not beat them!!" The tall warriors immediately came to the fire.

"Big Tiger!! These Central Army were not the original army. We cannot fight!!" Yan Jianlong immediately stopped the impulsive behavior of the Big Tiger.

"Why can't you fight!! Aren't it all the soldiers who suffer?!"

"I can't say a word clearly. But I can't beat you now!!" Yan Jianlong grabbed the big tiger tightly.

"Captain!!" A child holding a red tassel gun shouted and ran over.

"Captain, a large army came to the east end of the village. There were thousands of people!! It was our large army!!" As soon as the child ran to the ground of these people, he hurriedly reported the latest situation.

"Okay!! The big army is here, and they are here. We are confident enough!! Let's take a shortcut to welcome our local troops!!" Yan Jianlong glanced at the army that was still moving forward on the small road and led his men to evacuate here and run towards another mountain. But they didn't know that behind them, there were a few people wearing camouflage uniforms following him from afar with the help of the terrain.

The speed of the march was dragged down by carrying a large amount of supplies. When Shi Jiping led his reinforcement company's successor to Sunjiazhuang, it was already in advance by many troops that looked worse than the southwest militia. Through the telescope, Shi Jiping saw that although these people were dressed in simple clothes, old and even thin, the weapons were still unafraid.

"Tell the troops that if you move forward in a single-man queue, you will show your energy and don't let others look down on me. Also, load all the bullets. If you are attacked, don't hesitate to kill you!!" Shi Jiping put down his telescope and gave an order.

Similarly, while Shi Jiping was observing the opposite side, he was also observing them through the only telescope.

"Captain, can you fight?! They marched so unscrupulously, and they were even more unprepared than the Japanese devils. As long as they started fighting, I believe we would definitely eat them." Yan Jianlong asked the man anxiously next to the person who was observing Shi Jiping's team with a telescope in his hand.

"We can't fight, we have enough reasons to enter here. We also received an order that this army has been approved by the superiors to enter here. If we start fighting rashly, it will provoke a civil war." Put down the somewhat vague telescope, the regiment commander rejected Yan Jianlong's suggestion.

"Then let these disaster-stricken troops come in?" Yan Jianlong was not much calmer than his subordinates. In his opinion, as long as it was not his own troops, it would need to be defeated, let alone the infamous disaster.

"There is no way. The other party has enough reasons and procedures to enter here. We came here and were ordered to restrain them." The regiment commander said helplessly. "However, I really want to see what kind of army it is that can annihilate the ten Japanese divisions." After the regiment commander said that, he raised his telescope again and observed the army coming from afar.

In neat and unified clothes, everyone wore black military boots. Although the fancy military uniform dyed from green, yellow and light black looked fancy, it allowed everyone to tell where the people were and where the land was. Everyone wore wide helmets, some of which were somewhat similar to the helmets originally purchased by the Central Army from Germany, but not only looked better than the German helmets, but also had a larger protective area. Each soldier's face was full of healthy blood, unlike standing.

The curious people watching these people were basically malnourished, and their thin bodies looked so thin compared to those marching soldiers. Although many weapons were unknown, no one would think that the weapon in these people's hands was a fire stick. Many people knew from the index fingers placed outside the guard ring of the plate machine. If these people were attacked, they would let everyone know what power these strange weapons had.

"Hello, Chen Lixin, the leader of the ** group."

"Hello. Shi Jiping, the company commander of the Sixth Army." Although he was much lower in level, Shi Jiping was not too humble.

"Company Commander Shi is so brave. He dares to bring more than 200 people into the city. I just don't know if Company Commander Shi brought such a few people here to hunt or stay for a long time?" Chen Lixin asked tentatively after shaking hands between the two sides.

"I don't have such good time to hunt, I mainly come to fight the Japanese." Shi Jiping rushed back without hesitation.

"That's just a few people who dare to fight the Japanese? Don't fight the Japanese but turn these people in. It's better to go back as soon as possible."

"Haha, you will know if there are too many people and fewer people. I don't know how your army is planning to guerrilla war against the Japanese with this little fire stick in his hand or not." Faced with the other party's ridicule, Shi Jiping rushed back without hesitation.

"What did you say!!" Several soldiers around Chen Lixin wanted to go forward and teach this person a lesson when they heard this. However, Chen Lixin stopped him.

"The old cats snatch rats and run on the ground, and the night birds (owls) snatch rats and fly in the sky. Each has their own tricks, and Company Commander Shi does not need to doubt our tricks to fight the Japanese." Faced with the accusations and public opinion from all parties, it seems that Chen Lixin has become accusations.

"Okay, the future is long, let's wait and see. The troops have to set up camp just now, so let's go and do it first." Shi Jiping said goodbye to Chen Lixin. Even if this kind of verbal battle is taken, it's not much. It's better to hurry up and do things.

Early the next morning, when the two troops met on the playground at the entrance of the village, because the training ground was relatively small and the number of people in the ** regiments squeezed Shi Jiping and the others out, and they said that there were few people and no space to occupy. However, in the afternoon, at the foot of the mountain beside the village, gunshots like beans came. When the people from the ** regiment came over, they saw that the people from the ** regiment were training live ammunition shooting. When they inquired about the training volume - 30 bullets per person, this made the ** regiment with less than ten bullets feel uncomfortable. The ** regiment fired nearly ten thousand live ammunition shootings at a time, which was enough to catch up with the ** regiment's consumption of a small-scale battle.

On the third day, one of the two sides practiced the thorns, while the other practiced physical fitness and comprehensive skills. The one who fought for assassination here was the sound of killing the sky, while the other was silently training various combat skills.

Half a month passed, and both sides figured out some of the other's ways during this period. The ** regiment's troops were poor in equipment and few weapons, and their military qualities were not good, but the military organizational structure was very complete. There were special political staff in the army, which was very useful in the use of ideas and usually assisted soldiers in literacy. Although they had never seen the other party's combat, they were not the kind of timid and fearful force from the spirit shown by the troops.

The ** regiment also has a high evaluation of the Southwest Army. Although there are few people, the troops are well equipped and have strong firepower. The rifles and machine guns can form a dense firepower network. The soldiers have excellent combat skills. Whether in terms of marksmanship or combat skills, they make people feel the professional quality of professional killing machines in these people.

Today, both sides obtained a Japanese army and the Imperial Army through their respective channels to drive out a county town not far from their base. Both sides gathered their troops to rush to the ambush site.

"Company Commander Shi, this time he came a small team of Japanese soldiers, and there were more than 100 Imperial Army troops. You don't need to pull out your troops to show off your bad luck." Although he knew the combat strength of these professional soldiers, Chen Lixin still advised Shi Jiping.

"Thank you, although we don't plan to attack the Japanese army, it's okay to watch your army fight."

"Okay, this battle is dominated by our ** regiment, and the county armed brigade assists in the attack. It dispatches nearly 2,000 troops. Don't intervene at will." The most taboo thing for two different armies to fight together in military combat, so that not only can't concentrate on fighting, but you must also beware of others stabbing the knife in the back.

"Okay!! We are watching the battle from the hill here, but if we find that the battle is unfavorable, we will decide whether to join the battle."

"That's all!!"

Leaving the battlefield from afar. Shi Jiping asked the soldiers to hide, and he observed the opposite side from afar through the telescope.

"Stone. Just let them eat meat in front?" The yellow-haired mantle who had been promoted to a row of long rows of long-standing whispered.

"Eat meat? Be careful not to eat it and choke to death if you swallow it."

"You mean..."

"The radio information I just received from the command center. The Japanese followed up with two squadrons and troops in the morning. I guess the team in front is here to be used as bait."

"Then why not inform them?"

"Notify them? Do you say we will believe our intelligence?"

"…………………” Huangmao didn't continue to say anything. Everyone in the army knew that it was not their own system that it was usually difficult to gain the other party's belief.

"We are blocking here. When they fight, they immediately cross the Japanese's back road and help them block the back road. Whether they can eat the Japanese who are bait in front depends on their own ability."

"I understand. But Shi Tou. You said that just their men and horses are just like this, they are still reluctant to accept our reorganization. They ask me to say, let's destroy them together."

"It's hard. Our official position is too small now. We can't figure out what the above is thinking, but when we come here, you know how the group leader told me."

"What did the leader say?"

"Let them know what a professional army is armed under industrial construction!!"

"clear!!"

The battle unfolded as scheduled. The crooked machine, Czech light machine gun, 38 large cover, Hanyang, gold hook step, old sleeve, musket, various weapons and even firecrackers placed in iron buckets to pretend to be machine guns. Is it lively? Through the telescope, Shi Jiping and several platoon leaders watched how the two thousand people deal with more than two hundred enemy troops on the mountain road.

Just now, when Chen Lixin said that he had used more than 2,000 people, Shi Jiping almost laughed out loud. Although there were so many people, after half a month of observation, the real force of this ** regiment was only 1,500 or 600 people. The actual number of weapons and equipment was only over 1,000. Many people were fighting against red tassel guns, big swords or even guillotines as weapons. In addition, the number of people from more than 100 counties of the Martial Arts Brigade was enough to collect 2,000 people. Of course, the women's rescue team responsible for picking up and dropping off the wounded.

To be aware of a sudden attack, the Japanese's military qualities were really good. From the first gunshot, the Japanese immediately looked for cover. The casualties suffered in the first round of attacks were basically puppet troops.

However, soon, the Japanese began to organize a counterattack, but the counterattack had not been carried out for a long time. A large number of grenades were thrown from the hillside. Although the explosion and lethality were much less powerful, the smoke came out quite a bit. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldiers of the ** regiment rushed towards the Japanese on the mountain road with their bayonets and rifles.

"Hand-in-hand combat!! But after this battle, many soldiers will be killed or killed." Shi Jiping put down his telescope and sighed.

"We are also experienced people. We know the level of the Japanese's thorn fighting skills. Their tactics are correct. The gun technique is not guaranteed to be good due to lack of training equipment and poor quality. It is really better to fight the thorn facing each other in this way. If the Japanese are allowed to shoot accurately, the ** team will definitely suffer in the end."

"Don't worry about them, prepare for our battle."

"Captain!!! Emergency information, the Japanese with two squadrons behind this group of Japanese soldiers followed. It seems that they were coming to us specifically!!" A man hurriedly found the rising regiment commander on the battlefield.

"What!! Why didn't you say such important information earlier?!" The regiment commander was anxious when he heard this. The Japanese in the two squadrons were more than 400 Japanese. The ** regiment ambushed the Japanese in a small team and could barely eat them, but if they faced the Japanese in the two squadrons, they would definitely be finished.

"Captain! These Japanese devils are very talented. They didn't gather directly in the county town to avoid our intelligence network. The Japanese devils passed through the county town this morning and ran towards us." The people who sent the intelligence were a little aggrieved.

"Let the soldiers speed up the battle and evacuate quickly. Don't be entangled by this group of Japanese devils!! Guard, follow me!!" The regiment commander quickly analyzed and judged the intentions of the Japanese. Indeed, if the Japanese were dispatched in two parts, they would avoid the intelligence network in the county town, but now is not the time to praise the Japanese. If they are entangled by this group of Japanese devils as bait, the entire ** regiment will be killed.

"Regiment Commander!! The Shi Company Commander in the southwest asked me to tell you that they are responsible for blocking the reinforcements of the Japanese. I hope we can eat the Japanese as soon as possible and clean up the battlefield and retreat."

Another soldier in charge of alert came to convey the message. Chen Lixin glanced at the person there and felt a strange feeling in his heart.

"Fight!!!" With the order, Shi Jiping was responsible for blocking the position, and a dense gunfire sounded, tearing the ii machine gun, automatic rifle, and semi-automatic rifle directly tore the infantry in front of the Japanese, and detonating from both sides of the road, thunder that detonated from both sides of the road caused a whirlwind of death in the middle of the marching team.

"Save ammunition. Pay attention to shooting and killing." Shi Jiping issued an order. Because of the weak logistics support now, he cannot be allowed to massacre like before. After shooting the Japanese in groups in line, killing Japanese in a targeted manner became the mainstream tactic of combat.

Although the combat effectiveness of more than 400 Japanese soldiers was very strong, they lost their former prestige in front of professional Southwest soldiers who were both professional soldiers and better equipped. Machine gun soldiers, grenade trolley soldiers and officers at all levels were all shot and killed.

When the first round of attack was saturated and the power of broad-sword thunder, nearly 100 casualties were found that the ambushed troops on the opposite side fell into a dense round of attacks. However, when the Japanese reorganized a new round of attacks and rushed up again with rifles shouting slogans, another round of fierce firepower attacks suppressed them back. More than fifty corpses were left in front. At this time, the Japanese discovered that the ambushed troops on the opposite side were not the traditional guerrillas, but the legendary Southwest Army.

After several attacks failed, the Japanese commander decisively issued an order to retreat and could not continue like this. Nearly half of the Japanese were injured or killed before the attacks were even a few rounds. If they did not retreat, the two squadrons might all die here. Therefore, the remaining Japanese retreated immediately, and Shi Jiping just sent a reconnaissance squad to follow the reconnaissance from afar.

In the afternoon, when the two troops came back from the battlefield, everyone found that although the ** regiment suffered more than 200 casualties in this battle, they still forced themselves to eat the Japanese and puppet troops and seized a large amount of weapons and ammunition. It was just that the Japanese troops were troops acting as bait, and there were no material resources on the logistics truck. However, even so, the harvest of more than 100 rifles and two machine guns was also very exciting for everyone.

On the other hand, the troops led by Shi Jiping seemed so easy to fight. Although the number of annihilated enemies was basically the same as the result of the ** regiment, the result of the ** regiment included a puppet army with more than 100 people, while the southwest was all Japanese devils. The weapons and ammunition were basically the same, but the southwest only had a few people slightly injured in casualties. In comparison, the difference in combat effectiveness was immediately seen.

Regarding the handling of these spoils, Shi Jiping generously gave the weapons and ammunition to the ** regiment. After all, he had the ** weapon and ammunition system. Although the logistics is a bit weak now, the soldiers were carrying double the ammunition volume this time. Many soldiers, who were strong like Ango, even carried 2,500 rounds of ammunition. The small-caliber weapon and the equipment without shells greatly increased the amount of ammunition for the soldiers. Because of this, the combat command dared to use the semi-embedded defense system.

Facing the guns and ammunition sent by Shi Jiping, Chen Lixin from the ** regiment brought people to receive them generously, and took Shi Jiping's hand and said a lot of polite words. However, Shi Jiping could see that although he was very happy with the Japanese weapons he gave him, his eyes were more aimed at the general weapons of small-caliber shell-free bullets in the hands of the Southwest soldiers.

Faced with the same results and different efficiency of both sides, many people on both sides, especially those in the ** group, had their own plans in their hearts.

There is also the Sunjiazhuang where the people were very happy because of a big victory, especially when the spoils were put out, they were cheering one after another. But when they were cheering, who could hear the moans of the wounded in the back mountain?
