Although he had agreed with the Eighth Route Army earlier and pushed the credit for the capture of Zaozhuang to the Eighth Route Army, Hu Biao, who decided to leave, would still not let the Eighth Route Army bear all the pressure from the Japanese army in Zaozhuang, and planned to restrain some Japanese soldiers on the periphery.

Leading the main force to successfully jump out of the interception network set up by the Japanese army, Hu Biao ordered to set out in advance to create chaos and divert the Japanese army's attention, Hu Minyi led the commando to raid the Beizhuang town bordering Linyi.

According to the information detected earlier, the Japanese army only stationed one squadron in this town. In view of the recent complex enemy situation in Zaozhuang, the Japanese army stationed in the town blocked the roads entering and leaving the town and the roads leading to Linyi.

Although Linyi has been occupied by the Japanese, Hu Biao is very familiar with this area. After receiving a telegram from Hu Biao, Hu Minyi, who had been lurking near the checkpoint for a long time, also said directly: "Prepare for action!"

Compared to the usual use of crossbows to shoot sentries, Hu Minyi did not use assassination this time, but planned to make the movement bigger. Only in this way can he attract the attention of the defenders of Zaozhuang City and divert the Japanese's attention.

Staring at the Japanese who were setting up checkpoints on the highway outside the town, Hu Minyi also said directly: "In one round, kill these Japanese!"

"clear!"

The so-called round is to shoot all targets at once. With the current shooting skills of the spy company soldiers, the first shot hit rate is still very high. Even if the modified sniper rifle is not used, the soldiers' shooting skills are still superb.

At this moment, there are only one small team of Japanese devils on the temporary road checkpoint. The highways near the checkpoints must be solved by the Japanese devils in the checkpoints. Correspondingly, as long as a gun is fired on the road on the road, the Japanese devils in the town will attack.

With Hu Minyi's order, the combat team members who selected the shooting targets fired almost at the same time. Neat gunfire sounded, and the Japanese who were staying in the temporary checkpoint fell to the temporary checkpoint one after another.

Hu Minyi also said with satisfaction: "Not bad! It seems that the shooting skills have not been in vain during this period! Clean the battlefield and ambush the Japanese who came out of the town, and make the noise bigger on the road."

"I understand! Platoon leader!"

The Japanese squadron resting in the town heard the gunshots from outside the town, and the Japanese squadron leader who was sleeping was instantly awakened and said, "The gun is fired there? Is there something wrong with the checkpoint?"

"Captain, it seems like the sound of a gunshot is there? What should I do? Should I assemble the troops?"

"What are you still standing there? Blow the whistle immediately and send two teams to reinforce!"

"Squadron Captain, what should I do in the town?"

"No matter what! If the main Chinese forces really break through, we must delay time. Let's go and see what the situation is. If there is news, send someone back to report the news immediately. I will take the remaining troops and stick to the town!"

"Hi!"

During the day, he received a call from Zaozhuang City. The Japanese squadron leader stationed in Beizhuang also knew that the main force of the anti-Japanese war troops attacking Zaozhuang was not something he could resist. What he had to do was delay time.

But the situation is unclear and he is not easy to report it randomly. If he attacked the checkpoint, he was not the main force of the Anti-Japanese War troops he imagined, he would be lying about military information and holding him accountable. He, the squadron leader, could not afford it!

Sending two teams to the town to support is more to test the attackers' firepower. According to his guess, if the person who attacked the checkpoint was really the main force of the Anti-Japanese War troops, then they would definitely not be entangled with them.

Because the longer the entanglement, the easier it is to be caught up by the Japanese army who came to support from Zaozhuang. The mission of these two teams is more to advance to reconnaissance and confirm whether the rebels attacked the road posts were sneak attacks on Zaozhuang's main force.

After cleaning the battlefield, Hu Minyi only sent one squad of troops to arrange blocking positions on the road that the town defenders must pass. The firepower of this squadron was extremely strong, and there was no big problem with the hard Japanese squadron.

With light and heavy machine guns, plus mortars and grenade launchers, Hu Minyi felt that it was enough to catch the Japanese in the town off guard. Once the Japanese suffered too much loss, unless they were willing to give up Beizhuang, the surviving Japanese would definitely flee back to the town.

Sure enough, looking at the Japanese rushing out of the town, Hu Minyi also smiled and said, "I inform the fifth squad leader that you can start the action! Let them make the noise bigger and look more like that!"

"Yes, platoon leader!"

When the Japanese in the town came out and saw the torches moving rapidly on the road outside the town, they immediately realized that the situation they were most worried and most looking forward to was happening. What they were worried about was that such a passing force would attack the town they were stationed in.

What they were looking forward to was that they discovered the main force of the Chinese army that broke through outside the town. The team leader led the team without saying a word: "Hurry up, go back and tell the squadron leader immediately, and find a large number of Chinese army moving on the road!"

Because of the darkness and distance, the Japanese could not see clearly whether they were people under the torch moving on the road. The fact is that at this moment, many of the members of the commando team brought by Hu Minyi were carrying two bamboos.

Several torches were tied to each bamboo, and the team members were jogging forward. Looking from a distance, it was indeed similar to how many people were jogging and jogging forward.

Even though Hu Minyi brought not many commandos, the Japanese army could see limited vision range. The players who walked out of the sight range put out the torch, circled back from the front and re-lit the torch, followed by the person in front.

In this way, the Japanese who came out of the town could only see from the sight that there were constant torches appearing on the road passing through the town. Each torch looked a bit far away, so there must be no one in the middle of the torch.

When marching at night, it is impossible for all the soldiers who march torches. If you guess this, you will know that there are large troops marching in the middle of the night. So, what troops in Zaozhuang will marching in the middle of the night?

The squadron leader who was waiting for the news in the town, saw the second lieutenant who came back to report the news, and said seriously: "Did you really see clearly?"

"Squadron Captain, the Chinese army has ambushed outside the town, and we can't get close to the highway at all. Their firepower is very strong and we can't rush through it. It's just that from where we are fighting, we can clearly see that there are many torches moving on the highway."

"Baga! It seems that it is really a sneak attack on our Chinese army. I ordered the troops to try my best to entangle them. I immediately called Zaozhuang City. Unfortunately, we are a little far from the city, and even if we come by a car, it will take at least two hours."

"Squadron Captain, I'm afraid we can't hold on for two hours at all. If we continue to fight, both of our teams will be exhausted. The Chinese army that blocked ours has excellent weapons and equipment, and their marksmanship is very accurate!"

The second lieutenant who was ordered to return to report the news did feel confused before. Although they ambushed their team, only two mortars and two grenade launchers were used, the train formed by light and heavy machine guns was still fierce.

Not to mention rushing over, even if they get close, they will suffer heavy casualties. The only thing that is thankful is that the troops that blocked them did not seem to want to attack the town they were stationed in. As long as they withdraw from their range, they will stop shooting.

After listening to the lieutenant's story, the squadron leader also said with a headache: "Then let's attack tentatively, just hold them back! Baga! If we have a large brigade of troops here, these Chinese troops will definitely not be able to escape."

Although the idea is good, it is impossible. At present, some counties in Qilu that they occupied do not have a garrison force stationed in a brigade. It is already very powerful to send a squadron to garrison in a small town.

The Japanese army resting in Zaozhuang received a call from Beizhuang. During the day, two car squadrons in Zaozhuang were just coming to Zaozhuang. They immediately received the order from the temporary commander and mobilized the forces of the two squadrons to rush to reinforce.

The subsequent troops would also rush to Beizhuang in a hurry to march. One of the cavalry squadrons also began to prepare and set off immediately after dawn. At night, the cavalry would not be convenient for them to participate in the pursuit war.

Instructing the defenders of Beizhuang to entangle the main force of the Chinese army passing by the highway, Zaozhuang's temporary garrison officers also sent a report to the Japanese army in Linyi, asking them to gather their troops and launch a blocking attack in Linyi.

In any case, the main force of the Chinese army that fled to Linyi should not escape from sight. According to a day's investigation, the Japanese army felt that the number of anti-Japanese armed forces involved in the ambush army and the night attack on Zaozhuang last night should reach three or four thousand.

If there weren't so many people, the supplies they carried would not have been moved all overnight. It would be unlikely that the troops of three or four thousand people would have entered Linyi and wanted to escape the pursuit and search of the Japanese army.

It was obvious that the Japanese troops gathered in Zaozhuang before dawn began to travel to Beizhuang again on a starry night. After receiving a telegram from Zaozhuang City, the Japanese troops stationed in Linyi also dispatched urgently and began to block the road from Beizhuang.

On the other hand, Hu Minyi, who was blocking the attack, saw that the time had passed by almost half an hour, immediately called a team member and said, "The time is almost the same! Let the fourth squad leader bring people over and drive all these Japanese back to the town!"

"Yes, platoon leader!"

Looking at the Japanese who dared not get closer, Hu Minyi, who had been performing a marching drama for half an hour and overnight, felt that the drama was almost the same. If he didn't hurry up and retreat, he might be caught up by the Japanese.

A squad was drawn to strengthen the offensive efforts. The Japanese army stationed in Beizhuang, who had already suffered heavy losses, had no choice but to retreat to the town. Just when the Japanese squadron leader was worried, Hu Minyi, who was pursuing, ordered a retreat.

After the gunfire outside the town subsided, the Japanese squadron leader said again: "Send someone out to see the situation!"

Although the Japanese who received the order was a little unwilling to give up, a small team of Japanese could only pluck out of the town with the courage to come out of the town. When they walked to the place where they were beaten, the Japanese soon triggered the thunder set up by Hu Minyi before leaving.
