under fire

The reason for the sudden appearance of the fire in the village was not clear, and the situation in the village was even more unclear. Li Laosi felt uncomfortable as if he was surrounded by thorns.

The three soldiers from Tangli at the front dispersed and entered the open space. The team leader, who was leading the way in the ditch, saw that the village was getting closer and closer, and the outline of the village became clearer and clearer. Suddenly he stopped crawling, stretched his head back and whispered: "Stop"

A soldier following behind the team leader asked in a low voice: "Did you find anything?"

"Something's wrong, please listen carefully. There is an area ahead where no crickets are chirping. The location is about 20 meters away from us. If there is an enemy, it should be 25 meters ahead."

"Team leader, you are so experienced." The soldier lying on the right rear raised his ears and listened carefully for a while: "It's really too quiet in front. It's just autumn. We heard insects chirping along the way. The sound in the fields in front was very quiet. There are too many, and there are probably people in the field. I see that there seems to be no movement in this large field, so there should be a lot of people in the front."

The team leader turned around and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense."

"Is there a little Jaap hiding in front?" The soldier who was talking nonsense immediately rolled sideways into the ditch, climbed a few steps quickly, leaned behind the team leader, and pressed the nose of the aircraft with his shell gun.

"Everything needs to be investigated thoroughly to know." The team leader who was alert in the ditch shook his head and lowered the soldier's arm holding the shell gun.

"Didn't you say that Wang Shun was surrounded by Japanese soldiers?"

"Let me ask you, when the traffic officer came to report the news to us, it was almost dark, and it took us so long to get here."

"You mean, the little devil may have left?"

"We can't rely on guessing when we conduct reconnaissance." The team leader rolled his eyes and kindly taught him that this guy just doesn't want to go on the road. The battalion commander listened to Instructor Liu and asked him to lead the old with the new. What a fucking trouble.

"Bad guess. According to my analysis, the person in front should be Wang Shun," the soldier muttered.

"You idiot, if you are one of Wang Shun's men, why did you arrange so many people outside the village?"

The soldier was stunned for a long time: "The more you talk about me, the more confused I am."

"There must be Japs ahead!" the team leader said firmly: "Arranging so many people to hide outside the village is obviously deliberately using Wang Shunbu in the village as bait!"

"Team leader, do you mean that the little devil is also playing ambush?"

The team leader nodded: "Yes, this is called encirclement and reinforcements!"

"Wang Shunbu has never dealt with us very much. Otherwise, our three divisions would have developed this area into a base area." The soldier who spoke had not long been replenished from the main regiment to the ninth battalion.

Ba. The new warrior who spoke got a big kick.

"Team leader, why are you hitting me?"

"Remember, you are now a member of the ninth battalion of our independent regiment."

"Your independent regiment really has nine battalions?"

"Hey, that's about it. Don't say anything. I'll go over and take a look. You two should be on alert!"

"Don't." The soldier grabbed the team leader and said, "Didn't you say there were little devils ambushing you ahead?"

The team leader raised his hand and slapped away the soldier who was pulling him away: "We are in a ditch because we are in the dark. Even if there are Japs, they can't hit me."

"Don't forget, the little devil has flares."

"Hey, I didn't see it. You know a lot."

"Tch, do you really think that we are fighting guerrillas on the plains and don't know anything?" The soldier suddenly said in a low voice: "We have suffered a lot of losses before."

"Xiao Liu, go back and report the situation to Fourth Master immediately! Also, I suggest that another group be arranged to take a detour from the south to approach the village." The group leader hesitated for a few seconds and then changed his mind: "That's okay, I'll crawl forward another ten meters. Throw the grenade!”

The soldier was shocked: "Throw a grenade? We are reconnaissance, why don't we alert the enemy?"

"You know nothing, this is called knocking the mountain to shake the tiger."

"The team leader is wise, no matter what the little devils in front have, they are all scum in front of our ninth battalion." The soldier was full of confidence.

The team leader, who lowered his body and was taking out the grenade from his backpack and inserting it into his lower back, couldn't help but shudder.

It's true that people have self-confidence. When facing a little devil, you can't be too careful. But you must not be proud

The team leader felt that after this battle, he should suggest to the instructor to strengthen ideological education

Putting aside distracting thoughts, he crawled in the ditch toward the village.

There was still the sound of insects all around.

The further we go, the quieter the insects chirp.

Since it is determined that there are Japanese soldiers ahead, we will conduct a test in the form of an attack.

Instructor Liu said that reconnaissance is not just observation. Black Lantern and Blind Fire can definitely see the enemy's troop strength and layout, let alone the firepower.

To detect these enemy situations, the best way is to let the enemy take action.

Quickly pull off the grenade hanging on your back, unscrew the back cover, and there is a pull ring hanging on your little finger.

Suddenly there were footsteps in the ditch behind, followed by a faint voice: "The platoon leader has ordered, stay where you are."

When he heard the sound, the team leader had already fired the grenade. You can't put this thing back, right?

He quickly stood up, rounded his arms, and based on his feeling, he threw the grenade forward to the center where there was almost no sound of insects.

As for the next reaction of the Japanese in front, I don't care, I have to retreat immediately anyway!

When Hu Yi saw the big dog, it was hiding in the darkness by the side of the road.

Behind him there were two figures leaning against the wall. They were the second squad leader Li Laosi and the third squad leader.

Liu Yuanqing, who was following Hu Yi, lowered his voice and asked, "How far are the outer security posts posted? Has any news been sent back?"

The big dog was stunned for a moment and remained silent without answering.

"Talk back to me!"

The big dog clenched and let go of the horse's four-ring rifle strap over and over again, clenched it tightly again, and gritted his teeth: "I only remember to scout the village, there are no arrangements outside?"

Liu Yuanqing lowered his voice: "Immediately arrange for people to work in groups of two, with the village as the center of the circle, as a perimeter guard."

Both of them are platoon commanders. Right now, the instructor of the reconnaissance company is lying on a stretcher pretending to be a dead dog.

After another ten seconds, Hu Yi still didn't understand the situation at the scene. With many years of battlefield experience, he still felt uneasy.

Immediately ordered: "Order, everyone move north immediately and stay in contact!"

He did not choose to retreat directly, but moved north, because the north was Wang Shun's defense zone.

Although there is a dispute over the defense zone, at least there is no need to fight to the death like running into the Japanese.

The words just fell.

A bright flash of light suddenly appeared in the north of the village.

boom.

The sound of grenade explosions suddenly exploded in the open space.

As the leader of the vanguard expected, a chorus of birdsong burst out under the starlight ahead.

The sound of shooting like popping beans suddenly rang out in the open land to the north outside the village!

Immediately, a flare went up into the sky, illuminating the entire north of the village as bright as day.

Li Laosi lay down in the horizontal shallow ditch with half of his head exposed, holding a telescope and observing carefully with the light of the Japanese flare.

In the field of vision, a large group of machine gun muzzles continued to flash intermittently, and the upper bodies of two Japanese soldiers emerged from the ground, holding crooked handles and shooting wildly.

Not seeing the two vanguards, he breathed a sigh of relief. He half-opened the telescope and turned around to order the vanguard who came back to report: "Xiao Liuzi, kill the Japanese machine guns for Master Dao."

"Yes!" The thin little Liuzi immediately put the rifle in his hand.

Li Laosi turned back and just put the telescope to his eye frame, then quickly turned around again: "Hey, hey, you stay away from me" (End of Chapter)
