Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Ping'an County was captured without any casualties, which made the cadres waiting in the detachment very excited. It also indicated that bigger, more and stronger battles were coming!

Of course, before the battle comes, the most important thing for Ping'an County to do is to move the spoils back!
Crash... The iron warehouse door was opened, and the strong smell of gasoline, engine oil and diesel hit us in the face.

Rumble... Trucks stopped at the oil depot, and soon the puppet soldiers filled up the trucks' tanks with oil under the orders of the special forces. Then, the trucks drove away one by one and stopped at the doors of the warehouses. The puppet soldiers waiting here honestly carried the supplies out of the warehouses and carefully loaded them onto the trucks.

"Comrades, we need help here..." From afar, several county brigade cadres appeared at the street corner and heard the call from the warehouse. So, under the call of these cadres, the guerrillas and militiamen of the county brigade came forward to help move things.

For a while, the puppet troops and the guerrillas cooperated with each other and worked hard as porters. There was a strange kind of harmony!

A county town must have a lot of warehouses. This is a designated matter! These warehouses, on the one hand, are used to ensure the daily expenses of the Japanese and puppet troops stationed there, and on the other hand, they are used to maintain the Pingliao Highway. Of course, compared with the warehouses of materials looted by the Japanese, these are nothing!
When the Japanese occupied the county, did you think they would station troops there, kill people, and insult women for fun? Wrong, the most fundamental purpose of the Japanese stationing troops was to plunder! All kinds of materials, such as wood, cotton, ore, grain, salt... Anything that the Japanese people and the army could use was within the scope of the Japanese plunder!
There is a saying that there are no innocent souls under the atomic bomb, which is absolutely true! Some people also say that our enemy is Japanese militarism, not the Japanese people. This is true, but ordinary people cannot tell who it is, after all, they do not have the wisdom of great people! Therefore, if necessary, send these people together to see great people and let them tell the difference!

Well, forgiving you is God's business, and we are only responsible for sending you to see God...

When the 36 trucks seized in Ping'an County were still loading supplies, a long convoy of 49 trucks, all Type 36 military trucks, came from the east and rumbled into the county. Then, the porters hurried to work, filling up the trucks and then the subsequent convoys.

When the convoy was full, the horse-drawn carriages, donkey-drawn carts and rickshaws waiting here came over again. After loading the supplies, they formed a long convoy and headed straight for Yin Jiulang Village.

That’s right, Yin Jiulang Village has once again become a transit station for supplies, and this seems to have become a routine!

Of course, the truck convoy's stop was not in Yinjiulang Village, but in Weijia Village, because the trucks first transported the most important supplies, and it was safest to put them at the brigade headquarters of the first brigade! Well, since all the troops in the first brigade had been transferred away, the one here was the engineering company led by Zhu Xingyu.

Don't underestimate the engineering company. The company commander Jiang Daquan was transferred from the special operations team! With such a company commander and no shortage of training materials, what do you think of the combat effectiveness of the engineering company? Otherwise, they wouldn't be left here to look after the house, right?
The transportation of materials in Ping'an County is still ongoing, while the Japanese invaders from Yangquan in the north have already reached the hilly area about 4 kilometers north of Ping'an County.

This hilly area is a large barrier between Ping'an County and Yangquan, scattered and connected to the mountainous areas on the east and west sides. Of course, there is the Nanchuan River connecting the north to the south from the Tuoliu Station, and there is also a road winding from Yangquan. Standing at the highest point of these hills, you can see the Yangquan Station to the north and the city wall of Ping'an County to the south. This kind of terrain is not very suitable for ambushes, but it is very good for blocking! And just when the first shot was fired in Ping'an County, the main force of the Beishan Detachment hidden in the east, plus 2000 people from the independent regiment, came from east to west and directly formed a funnel formation in this hilly area.

The funnel formation is a funnel-like formation. The teams on the north side spread out on both sides, setting up positions 200 meters horizontally, leaving more than 400 meters in the middle as the upper mouth of the funnel. The teams on both sides of the funnel mouth shrink southwards, and finally shrink more than 4000 meters away from Ping'an County, leaving only the road as the lower mouth of the funnel.

This arrangement is clearly not an ambush, but a blocking one! Now it depends on how the Japanese choose to fight! If the Japanese choose to continue to move south, they will be attacked from three sides; if they choose one point, I'm sorry, the other points are also active, and they can also implement counter-encirclement.

So, at this time, Captain Yagi sent by Yangquan was making a difficult decision: should he continue to move forward or attack the Eighth Route Army's position!
In order to show the enemy weakness, the teams on both sides of the funnel mouth actually only had one company each, with about 100 people exposed to the sight of the Japanese. Of course, there were still a steady stream of teams in the rear, but the Japanese couldn't know this.

"Baga, what kind of formation are the Eighth Route Army setting up?" Because of the distance and angle, Yagi only saw the teams on both sides, but not the team in the middle of the funnel. But Yagi knew that the Eighth Route Army would never leave so few people here, there must be another team behind, but he didn't know how many people there were.

"Baga, never mind. The team I brought is two reorganized infantry companies, an infantry artillery squad, and two Imperial Army battalions, a total of 2600 people. These Eighth Route Army troops are nothing!" After thinking for a while, Yagi made a decision - he would fight on both sides!

So, under Yagi's order, two Japanese squads broke away from the team, each with two companies of puppet troops in front of them, and rushed to the positions on the east and west sides...

"This is not like the Japanese style at all!" On the eastern hilltop, Zou Ming looked at the Japanese troops getting closer and closer and sighed: "In the past, the Japanese would definitely attack directly in the middle and then spread out to attack on both sides. After all, the Japanese think that their attack capabilities are unstoppable by us! But now, the Japanese are so cautious!"

"Haha, Captain, these devils are scared by our attacks! Haha..."
