under fire

The Japanese squad accidentally lost more than half of its squad in the exchange of fire with Wang Shun, and now there are only over forty soldiers including the wounded.

There are actually only two classes arranged outside the village.

Although the second lieutenant's troop and firepower layout is as classic as a textbook, he is invincible against ordinary local armed forces.

However, in the face of a sudden attack by more than a hundred people from the Ninth Battalion, they were still completely crushed.

The attacking team had no tactics and relied entirely on their own strength and automatic weapons to crush them savagely.

The second lieutenant's intestines were green with regret. Although the illumination bombs fired from the grenade could clearly see the battlefield situation, it also illuminated the attacker's path forward.

Hurry and shout loudly to retreat...

Unfortunately, the order backfired. In the eyes of the attacker, anything in the shape of a human or head became a target of random gunfire.

The heavy machine gunner collapsed.

The light machine gun misfired.

Two grenade groups were killed one after another.

The empire's well-trained precision marksmen were hivered by random guns with little damage.

The wailing and screaming sounds are endless.

In just a few minutes, more than thirty people outside the village were wiped out!

The smell of blood mixed in the smoke became thicker and thicker.

Kondo, who stayed in the village to catch rats in the tunnels as a reserve team, hurried to the west of the village when he heard the intensive gunshots. He saw with his own eyes the second lieutenant who was giving orders and fell to the ground. He was dumbfounded and at a loss for a moment.

After coming to this land for many years, he has never experienced such a scene!

I don’t know how long it took, but I saw one black shadow after another, shouting and approaching the village.

From time to time stray bullets whizzed past overhead.

"Sergeant Jinteng, the enemies are numerous and the firepower is fierce. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time." Jinteng finally came to his senses after being prompted by his subordinates.

Being pulled by his men, he retreated to the largest and highest courtyard in the village in embarrassment. After entering the house, he followed the stairs to the attic and then climbed to the roof.

The yard is located in the middle of the village. It should be the best yard in the village because it has an attic.

"The observation posts in the north, east and south of the village have not returned. There may be something wrong."

Jinteng lay on the roof and kept forcing himself to be calm, summarizing, analyzing, and making judgments on the battle situation.

He quietly stuck his head out and observed several times, and whispered in a low voice: "Blow the assembly whistle, arrange a three-person team on the high roof, and arrange a team downstairs to prevent the enemy from entering the hospital. Our reinforcements will arrive soon. Before that, , everyone must guard this courtyard, please.”

A group of Japanese soldiers quickly dispersed and set up positions against doors, windows, and lying on the ground.

Pull the grenade, check the bullets, mount the bayonet on the rifle, and then announce their respective positions by singing birds, and coordinate the defense.

The invincible imperial army was forced to defend!

Jin Teng, who was behind the 38-year-old Gai, had a twisted face, and his aggrieved heart was burning with anger.

There was nothing wrong with the second lieutenant's previous arrangement. It was not that the imperial army did not work hard, it was mainly because the enemy was too strong.

I had long heard that the rats in the village tunnels had a secret relationship with the national army. This time, they probably beat the dogs and attracted their owners.

The national army is all defeated by the imperial army, and temporary gains and losses are not important.

Based on the current situation in this courtyard, there is absolutely no problem in holding on for half an hour without heavy firepower from the enemy.

When the imperial army arrived, he vowed to pull out all the resistance elements hidden in the tunnels and set them on fire to roast them alive.

As a sergeant, Jinteng's perspective and pattern of seeing things are limited to this.

East of the village.

"I heard you all clearly. Search each house as usual in training. Even the mouse holes will be searched by Master Tao." Li Laosi spoke sternly, and with a calm expression he pulled out the bayonet from the chest of the Japanese sentry who was still twitching on the ground.

"Platoon leader, just wait and see the show." Xiao Liuzi and the two soldiers crept into the darkness.

"Gugu. Roof alert, done."

"The courtyard gate is on alert, done."

"No one is in the second room, group three, woodshed."

"The woodshed is safe. Something is wrong!"

"Report!?"

"It seems like there is a tunnel."

"Tunnel? How can a kid get into a tunnel?"

"Come out, hand over the gun and don't kill"

"Just yell, throw two grenades down and we'll be done"

"What if it's Wang Shun and the others?"

"Don't you know how to ask your parents when they gave you a mouth?"

"Oh no, hurry up and report to the battalion commander. There is also a large trip mine planted outside the village." Killing sounds were heard one after another in the west of the village, and footsteps were getting closer and closer.

Just after searching the two courtyards, a large number of soldiers from Li Xianglian, who was attacking from the west, rushed into the village.

A trembling voice yelled: "It's been sent. It's been sent a heavy machine gun, a lot of ammunition."

"What is this hot broken stick and pipe? It smells so strong of gasoline?"

"Whatever it is, leave it to the company commander to study."

West of the village.

The traffic officer hurriedly came to Hu Yi: "Report to Battalion Commander Hu, my underground intelligence agent came to report that ten minutes ago, about six miles south, more than a hundred Japanese soldiers and at least one battalion of puppet troops were approaching Donglu Village."

Hu Yi put down his pocket watch and glanced at the traffic officer. The Eighth Route Army was really capable of mobilizing the masses.

You can figure out the strength of the Japanese troops by any means.

For six miles, the urgent march will not take more than twenty minutes at most.

Combining what he had learned from the traffic officer and years of combat experience, Hu Yi judged that the real purpose of the Japanese was to trap Wang Shunbu and then kill all Wang Shunbu who came to rescue him.

The eyes that had been smoked by the Japanese poisonous gas still felt uncomfortable. Click. The watch case in my hand closed and I felt a clear rhythm.

After thinking for two minutes, he finally issued an order: "Li Xiang's company must clear the village within ten minutes, that is, move north, and Luo Fugui's company immediately enters the village to set up defenses!"

It's not difficult to deal with a battalion of puppet troops, but fighting against half a squadron of Japanese soldiers with casualties is not worth the gain.

Therefore, his order was to move north, not to retreat.

The commander has said that commanders must be good at finding fighter aircraft and destroying enemies during fast movements.

Hu Yi was not content with guerrilla warfare as the enemy advanced and we retreated.

When the enemy is too strong, it will be impossible to establish an ambush position in the open area south of the village in a short period of time.

He decided to attack the Japanese and puppet troops in a flanking ambush before the enemy arrived.

Hit and run is considered disturbing.

The layout in the village is mainly mines, which will consume the enemy's strength step by step.

On both sides of the enemy's route, a small-scale mobile war of encirclement and reinforcement, ambush, and large-scale penetration and harassment was carried out.

Li Xianglian must have suffered a lot of casualties from his attack just now.

Next, he planned to have Luo Fugui perform the interleaving mission.

Luo's combat effectiveness comes from fighting, not training.

There have been many more battles, and even Luo Fugui, who was once afraid of death, can now stand alone.

The girl must have been hit by Hu Lie La. With Jiuying's current ability to deal with Hu Lie La, the little girl shouldn't have any big problems, but she still can't let go.

Hu Yi suddenly discovered that as the number of troops under his command increased, his mentality seemed to have changed a lot.

Even in the face of a large number of enemies, he is still very calm, so calm that he does not even consider the issue of the enemy's strong combat power.

Strength determines everything!

After receiving the order, Luo Fugui walked next to Hu Yi and asked cautiously: "Boss Hu, do you really want to fight?"

"Mule, how long have you been with me?" Hu Yi was stunned for three seconds and asked. The discipline of the Nine Battalions is indeed as Yang Chengzhi said, and it will be compromised when implemented.

"Uh, it's been five or six years, right?" The conversation between the two made the big dog next to him turn his eyes, staring at Hu Yi's expressionless face under the starlight.

This time, he was looking forward to what Hu Yi would say next.

"When have I ever done something I wasn't sure about?" Hu Yi did not blame Luo Fugui.

"Uh," Luo Fugui gasped, "I've done it too many times. Just like that time in Kushuixi River, you almost killed yourself."

"Get out!" Before Luo Fugui could finish his words, his thigh was kicked by a hard-soled leather shoe.

Luo Fugui reached out and pulled up the big dog watching the joke next to him: "Your grandma is laughing so hard."

The big dog pulled Luo Fugui's paw away: "Why don't you dare to hit me? Let me do it."

"Really? Don't lie to me!" Luo Fugui was overjoyed.

"I don't have the time to lie to you." Big Dog said seriously, "But after this is over, I have to tell Commander Hu that he will at least promote me to the rank of company lieutenant."

"Deal!" Luo Fugui's scalp was numb. This guy was definitely blinded by the sweet-scented osmanthus. He heard from Ma Liang that he would have a chance if he became a regiment leader.

He has only reached the rank now, and there are still three hurdles before him: company level and battalion level.

Poor baby.

"Correspondent, here is the order from Ninth Company Commander Luo Fugui. The three platoons must gather into the village and set up forward arrow formations to the south. After the battle starts, do not get too entangled with the enemy. After placing mines in the village, move to the north of the village." Take it. Ling Jian's big dog shouted loudly.

"The second platoon gathered with Li Laosi in the east of the village, and the third platoon gathered in the west of the village to set up an ambush to prevent the Japs from pretending to attack from the front and attack from the two wings. After the battle started, they moved south to attack the junction between the Japs and the puppet troops."

"Sir Hu, what do you think of my arrangement?"

"Immediately lead the reconnaissance platoon around the flank of the approaching Japs to disturb them." Hu Yi looked on coldly and only nodded when the big dog asked.

"What the hell, I was busy helping arrange the mules in the village for nothing?"
