Chapter 85 Beating the 16th Regiment of the Puppet Army

Commander Zhou of the 16th Regiment of the Imperial Association Army was full of confidence at the moment. He felt that what was discovered by the cavalry of the puppet army was nothing more than the local armed forces of the Eight Route Army.

These eight-way local armed forces just heard the sound of guns and guns, and ran to the battlefield to pick up bargains.

To say that the Eighth Route in Jin Province made the Japanese and puppet troops very afraid, but the local armed forces developed by the Eighth Route were not as effective as the main force.

Major Ishikawa's god-like analysis made Captain Zhou feel that his troops would definitely win.

With [-] infantry and [-] cavalry, it will definitely be no problem to deal with the local armed forces!

What's more, with such a large number of troops, even if they really can't fight, they can still stand by and wait for help.

After all, here in Qingshan Town, there is a reinforced brigade commanded by Major Ishikawa, ready to support at any time.

"Brothers, what we have to deal with now is nothing more than some mobs who don't even have many rifles."

"You have to give me a good face, and try to achieve as many victories as possible, so that the Taijun will definitely reward you heavily."

"As long as I can get promoted and get rich, your glory and wealth will definitely be indispensable!"

Commander Zhou of the puppet army waved his shell gun, and he shouted at his subordinates.

Hearing that it was only the Eighth Route local armed forces that were being dealt with, the morale of these puppet troops rose.

But how would they know that waiting for them at this time is the elite Jinsui army commanded by Chen Ziyun!

Time was passing, and after five o'clock in the afternoon, the 16th regiment of the Imperial Association Army aggressively advanced to the vicinity of the village.

Looking at the quiet and empty village, Captain Zhou showed a puzzled expression on his face.

"Commander Zhou, I'll go see if the cavalry battalion has left a mark." The cavalry signal soldier of the puppet army said hurriedly.

Head Zhou nodded. He raised his binoculars and looked around, but he didn't find anything.

Just when Commander Zhou thought that the cavalry battalion of the puppet army might have left to pursue the Eighth Route local armed forces, the sound of artillery was heard in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, without any warning, a grenade fell directly near the puppet army.

With the sound of the explosion and the spread of shrapnel, some puppet troops were hit and wailed in pain.

"No, this is not the Eighth Route Army, they have artillery."

"These artillerymen are conducting test firing, hurry up..."

Head Zhou widened his eyes and said in a panic.

But before he finished his words, Sun Xiong's artillery launched a series of six Jin orogenic cannons, under the guidance of Zhou Wenbo's observation team, to launch effective fire.

A mountain cannon continued to shell, and the grenades landed near the puppet troops one after another.

Explosions sounded one after another, and scorching air waves quickly spread towards the surroundings.

Countless shrapnel spread along with the shock wave, dust was flying on the ground, and craters soon appeared one after another.

In the blink of an eye, a large number of broken arms and limbs floated down in the air.

The smell of blood permeated the air, and many puppet soldiers had already fallen into a pool of blood.

After the shelling stopped, the casualties of the puppet army exceeded 300!

These puppet troops are not as good as the Japanese army. They adopt a dense formation, which is simply a living target for artillery.

After the shelling ended, the puppet soldiers were pale and trembling.

Especially when they saw broken arms and limbs and a lot of minced meat on the ground, some puppet soldiers even vomited on the spot.

Commander Zhou of the puppet army did not hesitate, and was the first to turn around and run away!
Thousands of puppet soldiers are like a flock of sheep leaving the sheepfold, and they become sheep herding in an instant!
The Second Battalion hidden nearby launched a fire attack, and the six heavy machine guns of the machine gun company fired instantly.

Intensive bullets shot over, and a puppet soldier was shot dead on the spot.

Not long after, the three infantry companies also launched a fire attack.

[-]-style rifles, Jin-made light machine guns, Jin-made submachine guns, and Jin-made shell guns.

The fleeing puppet troops fell to the ground piece by piece like harvested wheat.

The 16th Regiment of the Imperial Association Army can be described as collapsing at the first touch, losing its combat effectiveness in an instant!

Chen Ziyun raised his binoculars to observe, and looked at the retreating Imperial Association Army, but he did not launch a pursuit.

This attack completely defeated this puppet army, and they will not pose any threat.

For Chen Ziyun, the little devils in Qingshan Town are his next target.

As the troops of the Imperial Association fled in embarrassment, Chen Ziyun quickly assembled his troops.

The two supplementary companies continued to clean the battlefield, and then the troops quickly advanced towards Qingshan Town.

Chen Ziyun is ready to make a quick decision and finish off the Shichuan Brigade in Qingshan Town overnight!
At six o'clock, Chen Ziyun commanded the troops to advance towards Qingshan Town.

At this time, the 16th regiment of the Imperial Association Army had more than 600 casualties.

The remaining more than 900 people scattered and fled, and some puppet troops even discarded their weapons during the escape.

The sound of gunfire came from the village, and Ding Weixin's Second Regiment, who had been around Qingshan Town, could naturally detect it.

Without any hesitation, Ding Wei rushed over with his troops.

The New Second Regiment collided directly with the remnants of the fleeing Imperial Association Army, and Ding Wei decisively ordered the troops to go into battle.

"Da da da."

"Clap clap clap."

The sound of light and heavy machine gun firing sounded, and many puppet soldiers were shot and killed on the spot.

Ding Wei raised his binoculars to check, his face was full of joy.

The Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army has received key support from the Japanese army. They have more than 300 cavalry troops, and their own weapons and equipment are not bad.

These puppet troops are all equipped with official rifles and a certain number of light and heavy machine guns.

The Japanese army hopes that this unit can become a field force and can assist the Japanese army in combat at critical times.

But how could the little devil think that these puppet soldiers who are willing to be traitors would really work for the little devil.

For these puppet troops, their lives are the most important.

So at critical times, they want to save their lives!

The New Second Regiment once again found a leak, and more than 300 puppet troops were eliminated by them.

Looking at the hundreds of rifles and several light and heavy machine guns discarded by the puppet army, Ding Wei was overjoyed!

"I don't know which army it is, but let our new second regiment miss it twice."

"My old man has become a damn lucky general, and such good things can always happen."

"Hurry up and clean up the battlefield, and then go to the village ahead to have a look, maybe you can find something good."

"I don't ask too much when I come out this time. I will try to eliminate all the Hanyang-made rifles of the New Second Regiment."

"Look, how good this official rifle is, and it's completely incomparable to those made in Hanyang!"

Ding Wei was full of smiles, and he reaped a lot of benefits by picking up the leak twice.

Of course, he also knew now that it was definitely not Li Yunlong's new regiment that was fighting near Qingshan Town.

Li Yunlong's new regiment only has one infantry artillery, and he will not launch continuous artillery fire.

The New Second Regiment began to get busy, while the 16th Regiment of the Imperial Association Army was now completely beaten and fled in embarrassment.

And here in Qingshan Town, the Ishikawa Brigade heard the sound of guns and artillery in the distance, and more than 1000 troops quickly assembled, ready to rush to help.
