under fire

Chapter 1421 Attack
Xiong Erlang raised his assistant's collar and yelled loudly: "Order, gather the troops immediately and concentrate on attacking one point."

The gunfire did not stop, and the explosion continued.

The assistant waited until Xiong Erlang finished roaring, and he already had a rough attack plan in mind.

He is well aware of the equipment of the "Autonomous Army". Light machine guns are equipped in the platoon, but the combat effectiveness is not strong.

Facing the simultaneous attack of the imperial army from four directions, the pressure of the autonomous army is definitely not small.

The "autonomous army" guarding the north wall of the village may arrange up to three light machine guns!

Immediately, according to the opponent's force and firepower, the captain's order was broken down and conveyed downward.

The messengers who had been by the side earlier dispersed into the darkness to convey Xiong Erlang's new attack order.

The assistant took out his trump card and began to direct the three cars parked in the open field to make a quick U-turn.

The car engine roared, and the rear of the car was facing the north of Juanzi Village, and the wooden boards on three sides of the cargo compartment were quickly opened.

The main function of a car is to be used as a means of transportation.

But at some point, it can also be used as an offensive tank!
The sacks filled with sand were carried into the cargo compartment by the devils and piled up as a bunker.

Then, the heavy machine gun was lifted onto the car, and the ammunition boxes began to pile up behind the car bunker.

The heavy machine gun position in the car cargo compartment is rapidly formed!
A ghost grenadier team climbed into the car compartment, equipped with heavy machine guns and small cannons!Add the pre-prepared steel plate to the tire part of the car, and a simple version of the tank is born.

The Eighth Route Army used carts as soil tanks.

Devils are not stupid, a car that turns around can also be used as a tank.

The autonomous army, which lacks heavy equipment, will be wiped out under the attack of the imperial army's luxurious earthen tanks!
If this kind of battlefield situation falls into the eyes of the devil's ally advisor, he will probably be surprised to death.

With such equipment, can it also sweep the Eastern battlefield?
Xiong Erlang originally hoped for a quick battle, but the self-governing army in the village was not afraid of death, and defended against the thin earth wall to fight back.

It is said that those who are stunned are afraid of being violent, and those who are violent are afraid of dying.

In the previous attack, there were seventy or eighty casualties!

In that wave of attack just now, the subordinates who entered the village were bombed by the autonomous army's landmines. Although the warriors were determined not to fear death, they couldn't do their best to fight against the autonomous army who came from bandits.

Therefore, this time he did not interfere with the battle plan formulated by his assistants and staff according to his instructions.

The Warriors advanced very slowly.

Strive to be steady and steady, one step at a time.

West of the village.

Lieutenant Guizi delayed the attack a little later, so that the losses were relatively small, and he couldn't help feeling a little puzzled: "There's something wrong with the autonomous army in the village."

The disgraced Second Lieutenant next to him who had just been beaten back by Eight Routes muttered, "I have the same feeling, but it's a bit like Eight Routes' methods."

The lieutenant who looked at the village looked worried: "If the village is really not afraid of death, even if we concentrate our strength, we may not be able to take advantage of it. It is better to surround the village and wait until dawn before launching an attack."

The second lieutenant suddenly lowered his voice: "I think something is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Tubalu is good at fighting guerrillas. Every time we raid, they run faster than rabbits. They have no reason to stay in the village and wait for us to attack."

The lieutenant became interested: "Continue."

"I think there may be eight important roads in the village."

"Important what?"

"It is estimated that it is an important military target that cannot be transferred, for example, a small arsenal, or something else"

Seeing that his subordinate's analysis was of no value at all, the lieutenant had black lines on his face: "Any speculation is meaningless. Hurry up and harass the troops, and carry out the captain's order. This time we will feign a frontal attack and outflank the two wings."

The second lieutenant looked at the fires in the distance: "I think we should put out those fires outside the wall first."

"That's right, that idiot Xiong Erlang turned on the searchlights to send the Imperial Army warriors to their deaths, damn it."

The second lieutenant didn't dare to answer. In the highly hierarchical army, a lieutenant of noble background would naturally have the guts to say that Captain Xiong Erlang deserved to die, but he couldn't speak nonsense.

Another second lieutenant next to him yelled at the devils to gather, turned his head to look at the wall not far away, and pleaded to the lieutenant: "This time I want to lead a team to attack!"

The lieutenant pursed his crooked lips and nodded in appreciation: "I will focus on heavy firepower to provide you with cover."

The second lieutenant meditated in his heart, even the [-] infantry guns on the captain's side were beaten back with all his strength, and the two light machine guns could cover the fart.

In the end, it depends on the invincible courage of the warriors!
The first round of attack really underestimated the enemy.

In his opinion, as long as the imperial army is serious, it will be absolutely invincible.

The lieutenant didn't completely follow the captain's order to arrange his troops. For Tubalu, who is not afraid of death, he can just say whatever he wants.

Tubalu's marksmanship is poor, he is good at guerrilla warfare, laying mines, and ambushes!

A signal flare suddenly appeared in the northern sky, and then rose into the sky.

Command to attack!
The devils attacked from four directions simultaneously.

This attack is completely different from the previous ones.

A large number of devil soldiers in the north were divided into three groups, and the formation did not expand. They formed front arrows behind the cars and tanks to form infantry coordination.

The devil in front didn't hold a gun, but actually carried a police steel and wooden shield that is very rare on the battlefield.

The light machine gun on the car's cover was the first to roar.

The grenade began to fire grenades.

The devils cheered up.

The devils in the front started throwing things along the way.

Not a grenade, but a new high-tech product of the Imperial Army: a smoke bomb.

Gunpowder smoke, still full of bloody smell, seeped into the nostrils, and the devils wearing gas masks with cats on their waists moved forward slowly in the smoke, advancing step by step.

Car engines roared, and cars with narrow tires were otherwise unable to maneuver in fields.

Fortunately, the devils had enough manpower, and more than a dozen devils yelled after the front of the car in reverse gear, providing thrust to the car whose tires were stuck in the field.

Zhao Futuan, who was hiding behind the shooting hole to observe, felt a little uneasy.

In the afternoon, I dared to set up an ambush against the devils because the detectives knew that there was only one squadron of devils.

Who knew that this night, the army of the devils would suddenly increase so much?
And can it directly change the car into a mobile firepower point in a short period of time?
Isn't this a tank in disguise?

Although on the defensive, and the rammed earth wall gave the soldiers the greatest protection.

But the light and heavy machine guns on the Devil's car are really powerful, and the free bullets beat the soldiers lying on the wall so that they could hardly raise their heads.

Moreover, the two sides are now fighting with open swords. Although the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army do not lack courage, the lack of ammunition is always a problem.

I must have been deceived by lard before, so I decided to ambush the devils who had already increased their troops.

The situation in front of me is not good.

While thinking, a voice came from behind: "Commander Zhao, the enemy is too strong, we have to find a way to break through now!"

Head Zhao heard Captain Pei's voice, turned around and asked overjoyedly, "How about the capture?"

"Not very optimistic, the devils on the dead ground don't seem to have much ammunition on them." Captain Pei, who came over, was a little depressed.

"How much did [-] Dagai get?"

"I said, we should now consider concentrating our forces to break through." Captain Pei did not answer Deputy Commander Zhao's question about the capture.

The conversation between the two didn't seem to go smoothly.

Seeing that he has the advantage of the terrain but has nothing to do with the devils, deputy head Zhao is a little unwilling: "Don't worry, it's still early in the morning, and the devils don't know our real strength, so don't take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. , can you sleep well in the future?"

"This is the defense zone of our three verticals. I solemnly hope that you can consider it."

"We'll break out at three o'clock in the morning, right?" Deputy head Zhao was active in the enemy-occupied area and was very familiar with the temper of the devils, so he could almost judge the enemy's next attack tactics.

He felt that by using the ambush preparations made in the village in the afternoon, he should be able to expand the results of the battle.

Although he wanted to retreat, he was unwilling to retreat when he took advantage of the favorable conditions.

Captain Pei's tone suddenly became tough: "No, we must break through immediately. If you don't agree, I will take the guerrilla detachment away now."

"Hey, did I say you're being unfair by doing this?"

"You have to understand, we managed to recruit this group of people, we can't fight the enemy and die in vain!"

"You are afraid of the enemy before the battle!"

"Your approach is military adventurism, making fun of the lives of soldiers!"

"Don't put shit on my head!"

"Then order the retreat immediately"

Deputy head Zhao had no choice but to delay: "I think it's better to send a report to the superior for instructions before making a decision!"

"How are you?" Captain Pei actually wanted to fight devils. As a commander, he had to consider more issues.

"Follow the command in all actions, and there is nothing wrong with obeying the orders of the superiors." Deputy head Zhao didn't plan to retreat just now, and the landmines that had been planted just now while the guerrilla detachment was cleaning the battlefield hadn't sounded yet.

With a dark face, Captain Pei waved his hand to the guerrillas to hand over to the soldiers of the main force the three and eight cover rifles they seized while cleaning the battlefield, as well as the bullets they looted from the devils.

The soldiers looked reluctantly.

The Sanba Dagai is a good thing, and if you capture one, you will be rewarded by the whole column!

"50 meters"

Cars were clinked.

The devil's vanguard group followed closely with their shields on their waists, advancing towards the rammed earth wall.

The shield is indeed a good thing, it can block bullets!

In the north of the village, there is a devil car with a heavy machine gun.

Become a point of fire to provide cover for the attacking team.

The trajectory of the machine pulling back and forth forced most of the Eighth Route Army soldiers lying on the wall to lower their heads.

From time to time, bullets fired back from the side hit the car body with a resounding sound.

Cars can't provide much effective protection for devils behind the front of the car.

Because the surrounding wall of the village is wide, the closer to the wall, the more vulnerable it is to be hit by bullets from both wings.

From time to time, some devils fell and were injured, and the unlucky ones died directly.

Being suppressed by a heavy machine gun and two light machine guns on the car compartment is not easy.

From time to time, soldiers were shot, seriously injured, or sacrificed.

Both sides are dispatching troops and generals, and the sound of fighting back in the village is sparse.

The atmosphere is slowly becoming weird and tense.

It was so oppressive that I couldn't breathe.

The situation of the devils attacking in the south and east is similar.

As the attack progressed, the encirclement gradually became smaller.

There were no car-modified tanks in the east, west and west for cover, and the attacking devils suffered constant casualties.

One after another, the wounded devils were carried back by the medical soldiers, moaning, screaming and screaming continuously.

The attacking team is not fast.

The position of suppressing machine guns arranged in the field still continued to roar.

The relentless shots fired back in the village continued,
Suddenly there was a sound from behind.

The correspondent ran to the root of the rammed earth wall: "Report to the head of the division, the division ordered us not to fight recklessly with the devils."

Head Zhao turned his head: "Who told you to send a report to your superiors?"

The soldier murmured: "It's the director of the Political Department."

"Deputy Commander Zhao, you can't keep doing this!" Standing behind the correspondent was a young man with a battered pistol in his hand and an anxious expression on his military uniform.

Deputy head Zhao said with a dark face: "We help the friendly army to fight the devils, but why can't you talk about it?"

"We don't have enough ammunition, so we can't fight the devils!"

"Then why didn't you tell me when we set up an ambush in the village this afternoon?"

"Afternoon is afternoon, and now is now. In the afternoon, the enemy said that there is only one squadron. The devils who came now have turned into a brigade. The enemy is too strong. The superior ordered us to transfer immediately."

The orders of the superiors must be carried out. Deputy head Zhao looked at the political director who made a small report with a dark face: "That's all right, you and Captain Pei go first, I will cover."

As the devils approached, the gunshots on the wall gradually became more intense.

A soldier was lying on top of the rammed earth wall, pulling the hair rope tightly in his hands.

"Pull the landmines!" The correspondent on the wall above Head Zhao yelled strangely.

Several ropes leading straight to the field were suddenly stretched.

boom.
Flames accompanied by loud bangs.

The devil's vanguard holding a shield was directly blown into the sky.

"Light machine gun, fire me immediately!" followed by another order.

A light machine gun in the front, which was intermittent like a sheep pulling beans, immediately fired at full power.

The machine gunners on the two wings had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and heard the sound of machine guns on the front.

Then yank the trigger.

The two machine gun trajectories immediately poured firepower at the position of the devil's car.
