under fire

The sergeant in charge of commanding the mortar team trotted to the lieutenant and asked for instructions: "Should we continue shelling the village?"

The lieutenant turned around and roared: "Give me all the shells! Blow up all those rats."

The sergeant hesitated for a moment: "According to observations, the earthen walls in the village are very powerful for artillery fire, and the effect of the artillery fire is not ideal."

"You don't have to think too much about the effects of artillery fire. What I want is fire suppression during the attack!"

The infantry squad leader next to him stepped forward with a ferocious look on his face: "We are attacking from three directions at the same time. No one can escape under such a density of attacks!"

The lieutenant raised his dusty command knife and pointed it to the north: "Peel down the village!"

In the open space to the east of the village, Li Laosi led his team in a quick detour to the south.

Suddenly there was gunfire from ahead.

Then a voice shouted in the darkness: "Report, clear the Japanese left wing alert."

The dark team hurriedly continued to trot southward in the open field.

"Report, the vanguard is one mile closer to the enemy's artillery position."

Li Laosi was overjoyed: "Keep approaching, and don't make any noise until Wanbaoxi launches an attack."

There is also a team hiding in the open space to the west of the village.

Two grenade groups armed with ten thousand pistols were quickly digging positions at the edge of the trench.

"Move quickly. The Japanese will wait and fire back with mortars. It's not a joke."

Wang Xiaosan raised his hand and took off his military hat to fan himself: "Can't we just rush over?"

Wan Shuixi curled his lips: "Rush over? Do you really think that you are Marshal Tianpeng descending to earth?"

"The little devil doesn't seem to be as powerful as the legend says. Our firepower is so fierce now."

"Shut up, our troops are no match for the Japs. If we launch an attack from an open area, once we engage in a firefight with the Japs, we will be fighting for casualties. With the Japs' battlefield adaptability, even if Li Laosi launches an attack from the east unexpectedly, , but people like us probably can’t even take advantage of it.”

"At least I can inflict heavy damage on the little devil." Wang Xiaosan refused to give up.

"You know what the heck, didn't you hear the battalion commander say we're going to have a sports battle this time?"

"Look, the enemy has begun to attack the village, and we just want to stab him in the back."

"Wait a minute, the little devils and puppet troops will launch an attack on the village. Hehe, wait until they are bombed."

"Careful, later we will remove the Japs' artillery and heavy machine gun positions." Wang Xiaosan's heart was itching like an ant on a hot pot.

The Japanese mortar group shelled continuously.

The deafening explosions of shells were heard from time to time in the village.

Drowning all the sounds of darkness.

Smoke billowed, shrapnel and bricks flew, earth walls collapsed, and mud mist spread.

The smoke rises up, rises up again, and continues to rise, spreading into a sheet that has no time to be blown away by the wind.

In the village under the stars and moon, the light is getting darker and darker, and it's hard to see even one's fingers.

The Japanese and puppet army's attack finally took shape.

The security forces who had been lying on the ground finally discovered that the muzzle flashes of death in the village had disappeared.

After being shouted by the company commander and platoon leader of the security army behind him, he stood up again and launched an attack on the village.

He fired his rifle randomly at the location where he had previously shot at him.

He picked up the grenade and threw it forward, then rushed forward.

The puppet troops hoped to arrive outside the village early and use the walls to take cover.

When attacking on the battlefield, coordination is very important.

When the Japanese artillery observers saw the leading troops of the Imperial Association Army arriving at the south of the village, they began to chirp and shout, and then the artillery fire extended to the north.

The security forces attacked in a swarm and arrived at the edge of the village. The Japanese suppressed the machine guns and immediately ceased fire.

Each machine gun group immediately moved forward to re-establish their position.

Arriving at the entrance of the village, the puppet soldiers finally took a long breath after taking cover.

Breaking into the village is quite easy.

It seems that the resistance elements are nothing more than this.

Some puppet soldiers got greedy and began to form a human wall in groups of three and climb over the wall to enter the courtyard.

Hearing the companions inside the wall shouting for safety, the puppet troops behind them climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard like tigers, and they also dropped dumplings and slid into the courtyard by the village.

The trained puppet soldiers are not weak in combat effectiveness. After entering the yard, they immediately searched house by house under the organization of the squad platoon leader. After being bombarded, the village was filled with smoke and sight was severely obstructed.

It was so dark that there seemed to be people hiding everywhere.

The puppet soldiers were very cautious, using grenades to clear the way, and then fired volleys of guns.

The flash of the explosion showed no sign of improvement in the puppet soldiers' vision.

There seemed to be corpses on the ground. A certain puppet soldier finally discovered the military uniform on the corpse: "Squad leader, it seems to be the Eighth Route Army."

"Eighth Route?" The pseudo-company commander who was shouting at his men to advance unscrupulously into the village was stunned for a moment. He quickly came to the place where his men were shouting, lit a match, looked at it, and then his face changed drastically and he shouted: "Be careful of mines."

The Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness is not very good, but its ability to play with mines is superb.

boom.

The fuse of a trip mine was disturbed by the shock wave of the grenade explosion thrown by the puppet army, and the mine was detonated immediately.

Once they heard that there were landmines, the puppet soldiers finally lost their composure.

No one knows whether there are still Eighth Route Army soldiers hiding in the shelled villages.

Because Tubal Road is not afraid of death, there are probably still people in the village.

Time passed by minute by minute.

After such a long time, the puppet army commander estimated that the imperial army, which was outflanking and attacking from both sides, had completed the siege of the village.

However, the pseudo-company commander still decided to wait.

The fake company commander is not stupid, his life is his own.

He has already entered the village and completed the task assigned by the imperial army to enter the village.

As for the next step, the imperial army's battlefield regulations stipulated that killing an anti-Japanese element would award ten military coupons, so I would definitely not do it.

I originally joined the Japs just to have a way of survival, but I couldn't do anything like working for the imperial army for ten dollars.

Well, the main reason is that ten yuan is really too little. These days, you can only buy half a bucket of rice.

No one noticed.

In the gap between the collapsed earth wall and the ground wall behind the temporary headquarters of the pseudo-company commander, a head was shaking, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

The Japanese bombardment was too fierce, and Xiao Liuzi failed to withdraw northward with the team.

Xiao Liuzi slowly woke up and moved his body, his ears were buzzing.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a large area of ​​darkness all around.

I can clearly feel that there is something heavy on my body.

Suddenly he remembered that before he fainted, a cannonball exploded outside the wall where he was hiding, and then the earth wall collapsed, and the team leader suddenly fell on him.

Curling up in pain, the situation on the battlefield was unknown, so staying quiet was the best option.

He covered his mouth and coughed lightly, causing his eyes to bulge outward.

The coughing made my lungs tear and hurt, almost suffocating.

The trembling of his feet as he kept running in the yard made him regain his consciousness a little.

He tried to pull his calf out, but to no avail.

I had no choice but to lie on the wall in pain.

The footsteps were definitely not those of his comrades, and he didn't dare to make the slightest sound.

There was a faint smell of blood in the nose. Apparently, the team leader used his own body to give himself a chance to survive before the earth wall collapsed.

He placed his hands on the ground and tried to move his calves.

The body of the team leader was pressed against the earth wall and was pressed against his calf, which could not move at all.

He subconsciously searched for a weapon and found that his rifle was just pressed by the collapsed earth wall and could not be pulled away at all.

Move your body carefully, remembering the black bayonet on your calf.

Slowly moving his body, he finally took out the bayonet stuck in his leggings.

In the slowly dissipating smoke and mist, we can finally see those black shadows slowly emerging and shaking.

Later, the walls of the courtyard were filled with moving figures, and sounds slowly began to fill my ringing ears.

In order to relieve the tension, a puppet soldier took out a crumpled cigarette and put it in his mouth. Then he took out a match, lit it, and prepared to put it to his mouth.

Suddenly, he noticed that there seemed to be a dusty humanoid head next to him.

Next to his head, a dark, flaky object stabbed into his lower back.

boom.

ah.

The miserable howls of the puppet soldiers before they died perfectly matched the sudden explosions in the village.
