under fire

Chapter 15 Into the Village
In the dark night, a three-wheeled motorcycle swayed and swayed near the dirt bag where the cavalry was attacked. The big motorcycle was parked in the muddy ground beside the road, and a devil jumped out of the sidecar, looking around, shaking He put on his raincoat, covered his face that was a little stiff from the wind, stomped his feet a few times, ran over to Captain Qiantian, and saluted.

"Report, a large number of unidentified teams were found in the south of the county seat of Meixian County. They went westward an hour ago. The preliminary judgment is that it is the eighth road."

"Understood." Maeda had a gloomy face. The security forces in Xinglong Town followed the footprints left by Ba Lu, and had already bitten on Ba Lu's tail. The news came too late.

"They're still heading west."

Maeda took the ghosts and puppet army to Xinglong Town. He originally planned to encircle and suppress the Eighth Road, but he got the news of the demise of the cavalry unit.

This is the imperial warrior with the highest rank of Yusui in Meixian County, so Maeda had to revise the battle plan, and ordered the radio station accompanying the team to notify the Meixian garrison, preventing the eight-way dog ​​from jumping over the wall and hitting the county town, and strengthening the county town's defense.

He now has to consider how to report the annihilation of the cavalry squadron. The cavalry is a noble army in the imperial army, and most of the soldiers are sourced from the wealthy children of the island country. It is worth worrying about how to deal with such a huge loss.

The Guizi infantry chasing east, with the security army, had already turned north and then turned west. The scout Guizi had already reported the direction of the Eight-Road movement. This group of Eight-Road was very cunning and led the imperial warriors around in circles. The security forces in Xinglong Township They were chasing the broken troops of the Eighth Road and the guerrillas, and they had been hanging behind the buttocks of the Eighth Road. There were gunshots coming from the northwest, indicating that the security army had caught fire with the Eighth Road's broken rear troops.

Maeda is very familiar with the terrain of this piece. He doesn't even use a map. He basically knows the location of the eighth road. For this reason, he has ordered all the devils in the county to deploy in this battle to enhance the strength of Li Youde's army. Going west along the road, it is planned to strengthen the defense line when No. [-] reaches Li Youde's security line, and another road from Meixian to the south at the position where No. [-] crosses the road to meet the security forces and then pursue westward in three directions.

This time, the Meixian troops were almost spared. In the chasing troops, the devils, the security forces, the police, and the investigation team were all dispatched, vowing to wipe out the eight-way group.

Eighth Road is very cunning. It is not the main road. It has been marching in the wilderness. There is no way for the car to follow up. Captain Maeda plans to personally command a squadron of Guizi, attaching a mortar team, and set off first by car to the west to Xinglong Town. Going northward, catch up with the Meixian Security Army and the battalion in Xinglong Township, and pursue the Eighth Road.

It was a squadron of devils who strengthened Li Youde's army. It went out of Meixian to the west at night. This was the greatest combat power. In the eyes of Captain Maeda, the Eighth Route was difficult to deal with. It was a rare opportunity for this eighth troop to come out, although there were many troops dispatched in Meixian. , but if you can wipe out these eight roads in the mountains in one fell swoop, you can also have an explanation for the annihilation of the cavalry.

In the dark night, a group of people hurrying on their way out of breath.

Ma Liang hurried back from the front, and came to Hu Yi with one foot high and one foot low: "Brother, there is a village ahead."

Gao Yidao next to him surrounded him with Tang Dagou.

Gao Yidao sneered at the side: "There is a village with a fart, can you hide in the village and sleep?"

Hu Yi was silent, ignoring Gao Yidao, and after a while: "Is there anyone in the village?"

Ma Liang: "Like last time, I called the door for a long time, but no one opened it."

Hu Yi said in a deep voice to Big Dog Tang next to him, "Big dog, go and prepare a batch of grenades."

Then he turned his head and looked at Gao Yidao in the dark night next to him: "We have to stop the security forces chasing behind us here, and someone will drive away all the people in the village later. Let's enter the village."

Gao Yidao was unhappy: "Your grandma's, are you the commander or I am the commander, what do you mean by that?"

Hu Yi frowned: "Now that the security forces have caught up, more devils will surely follow. You arrange for someone to block them, wait for the broken troops to come, and leave the security forces here to allow enough time for the village to be emptied ahead."

"Why don't you stay here?"

"It's your second company's mission that will be broken, you can handle it yourself." Hu Yi coldly looked at Gao Yidao beside him.

Gao Yidao's anger rose: "You are a selfish bastard!"

Hu Yi ignored him: "We left half of the people in the village to block, and the others went into the bushes in front, and when it was dark, Lao Qin led the people from the Qiufeng guerrilla brigade into the mountains from Lushui, and there are ours over there. Inner response, Li Youde will definitely send Renjing to increase the manpower of the fortress, whether they can pass or not is up to fate, we must keep the people behind, otherwise, none of them will be able to leave."

Gao Yidao was at a loss for words, 1 unwilling in his heart, so he called a second company soldier over cursingly, and conveyed orders to arrange manpower.

Then he looked at Hu Yi: "Hu, what do you mean we want to keep people to work with the security forces in the village?"

"If you think everyone runs together, and if Li Youde and the security forces are attacking back and forth, do you think we can run out?"

"Can't we rush through Li Youde's line of defense? Aren't you guys with the devils of the Green Shop?"

If Li Youde doesn't move, he will all stay in the gun tower, do you think we can rush over?The security forces behind rushed over, facing the enemy on both sides, and there was no shelter in the plain. How long do you think you will hold on?
"Do you mean that we stay here to attract Li Youde's people and let Lao Qin and them pass?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

Gao Yidao sneered: "There are thousands of security troops in the back, and Li Youde in front is about the same number. Those who stay here are sent to death, aren't they?"

"Then what do you say?"

Gao Yidao scratched his head and thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't come up with a solution. He didn't give up: "How about going north?"

Hu Yi was too lazy to answer.

Tang Dagou brought a box of grenades over after a while: "One box, fifty, how to fix it?"

"Gao's surname."

"Don't they have?"

"You teach them to mine the ground with grenades."

"They can't do it themselves, let them fix it by themselves."

Tang Dagou was not happy and was kicked by Hu Yi.

"Mule, later, you take the girl and go first, uh, you are very Czech-style, bring it here, and give it to Captain Gao!"

The cold wind was blowing, soot flew everywhere, and all the people of Jiulian stood at the entrance of the village.

There was a strong dog barking, and on the way into the village, in the wild fields on both sides, a hundred people were divided into three parts in a blink of an eye. One went south, one went north, and the other went directly into the village along the road.

This scene was only done by Jiulian some time ago, and the car was familiar with the road. In the quiet village, chickens and dogs began to jump around. The torches were bright, and the footsteps were chaotic. Behind the president of the village maintenance was a black-clothed "detection team" with a gun. The gongs were beaten desperately on the grain drying field, and they shouted over and over again: "The imperial army is coming here for something important, hurry up, come out! All the houses and households hurry up and gather at the grain farm! Be quick, it's too late Taijun. It's on fire, it's going to burn the house..."

With sleepy eyes, he woke up immediately, and the people quickly dressed and went out to gather at the grain farm in the south of the village.

Hearing that the Imperial Army was coming, Tuo’s family and their mouths huddled together on the field to dry the grain. The people around the torches were gray military uniforms, yellow security uniforms, and black scout teams. This battle was unusual.

On the side of the threshing field, Lao Qin was arguing with Hu Yi: "You are going to make mistakes like this. We are not devils. In the middle of the night, these people are driven out of their homes. Where are they going?"

"Didn't you do it last time? Otherwise, what do you say?"

Lao Qin said: "It's not good anyway, we are the common people's team, we can't do this.

"They stay here, fight for a while, and let them follow us and get shot?"

"Can't we change the place to block?"

"Okay, there is an open space in front, more than 1000 security forces are chasing from the east, and more than 1000 Li Bude are from the west. Let's fight ten of them?"

Since the troops entered the village, Lao Qin has changed the cigarettes three times, finally getting discouraged, and muttering: "Is there any other way?"
