under fire

Chapter 403 Contact in advance
In the telescope, not far from the river, there is almost a battalion of devils and puppet troops stationed.

It is very strange that so many devils and puppet troops did not send anyone to search west!
Something is wrong, there must be something wrong!

Two companies of Gao Yidao's troops were lying in ambush in the dry reeds on the river bank before dawn, and a company of cavalry from the division had more than a hundred cavalry, hiding in a village about three miles behind.

Jiulian appeared in the southeast of the devil's position. More than three hundred figures marched loosely into a large area under the sun. Dust mist.

The devil's observation post reported that a team appeared to the west, with more than [-] people, it must be the Eighth Route, and the distance was less than three miles.

No one in the devil's camp was nervous, more excited. Over the past few years, they had fought against Tubalu countless times, with few defeats.

Lieutenant Guizi grinned grimly, and asked his subordinates to dial the test phone to Hua County: "Immediately report to the headquarters, and said that a small group of eight roads was found more than 20 miles east of Qi County, and the size is estimated to be a battalion!"

I got the news before dawn that the Eighth Route Army actually attacked the city with artillery. Obviously, it must not be the Eighth Route Group that appeared in the west.

The puppet soldiers hid in the not deep ditch and stared nervously, never thinking about digging trenches and foxholes!
In the battle between the imperial army and the Tuba Road, is there still a need to dig a ditch?After a while, they will attack them. The puppet army trained by the devil instructors is much better than Tubalu, and they will be beaten in a while!
One by one, under the newly rising sun, they were carelessly preparing for the battle, and many of them lay directly in the ditch looking at the sky.

The lieutenant suddenly felt that something was wrong, there seemed to be a cloud of dust in the distance to the west, he quickly climbed into the car, raised the binoculars to observe, the grin disappeared from his face, and turned into a frown, as if there were cavalry!
There are cavalry on the Eighth Road, and they knew it in advance, but they appeared without warning. The Tuba Road wanted to run away after hitting the county?

"Machine gun ready!" The lieutenant stood on the top of the car and gave orders loudly!
A mile away, Balu suddenly stopped advancing, as if digging a ditch.

Battalion Commander Wang of the Puppet Army quickly ran under the car where Lieutenant Guizi was standing, raised his head and asked, "Taijun, they must have found us and are digging trenches. What should we do now?"

"Wait!" The lieutenant smiled enigmatically.

Along with Hu Yi, Wang Peng was sweating profusely and digging a ditch with an engineering shovel, and asked casually, "The devils are so far away, are you sure they will attack?"

Hu Yi raised his head, looked at the devil's car in the east against the sun, and thought for a while: "As long as they don't run now, they won't run away later!"

"What do you mean?"

"The cavalry is now facing the front, and later they will attack from the two wings. The devils can't find their opponents, and they have no chance to escape. Where do you think their anger will go?"

Makes sense.

Luo Fugui only cared about whether the pit was dug deep enough: "Dig deeper, your grandma's dig wider, I can hardly turn around."

The newly reorganized security team was full of people, and their feet were trembling when they saw the devils in front of them: "Platoon Leader Luo, do you think they will call?"

The bear was stunned for a moment, a little distracted, and murmured: "Gao Yidao is in the north, and he will probably attack along the river. The cavalry agreed to feint from the two wings. His grandma, is our place the main attack direction again?"

Holding up the binoculars, Gao Yidao watched Hu Yi and Wang Peng digging fortifications directly on the flat ground through the grass. He was a little dazed. Is this going to fight the devils?If you can beat the little devil, you'll be damned!

A veteran of the Ninth Company ran over and hurriedly informed him of the situation: "Gao, our company commander told you to touch the devils right now!"

"How did you talk, do you want to be beaten? Hu Zazai dare to give orders to me? Hehe, who does he think he is? You go back and tell him that I am not free now!" Dare to stare at him and blow his beard?

"Hey, my word has arrived, it's up to you to touch it or not!" After the soldier finished speaking, he turned around, jumped on his bicycle, and ran away.
Leave Gao Yidao messy in the sun.

After a long while, he turned his head and looked at the group of subordinates who were staring at him: "Everything we look at is hidden, let's just watch their excitement."

"Company commander, the cavalry is moving, should we press forward?" A platoon leader who knew the company commander's temper hurriedly asked.

"You can? Then you take your platoon!" Gao Yidao was unhappy.

"Yes!" The platoon leader received the order excitedly, and took more than 100 people under his command, and walked along the reeds by the river to touch the devils slowly!
This movement was discovered by the ghost lieutenant standing on the roof: it turned out that Balu was still hiding someone by the river!
Hey, no matter how much you hide, it's useless!Abandon your sneak attack methods and play positional warfare with the imperial army?Are you tired of living a good life?

The lieutenant believed that since the eight roads showed signs of fleeing, blocking them first would not count as unauthorized action!

"The first company of the Imperial Association Army, prepare immediately, and attack the Tuba Road in 3 minutes! The second company defends the river, and strictly prevents the Eighth Road from coming to attack!"

After the translator gave orders to the puppet army, the lieutenant waved his hand and yelled loudly to his subordinates: "Warriors, a small team will immediately follow behind the Imperial Association Army and wipe out the Tuba Road in the open field!"

Then jumped out of the car: "Mortar, prepare now!"

Battalion Commander Wang of the puppet army roared with a trembling voice: "Brothers, the opportunity to make a fortune is here, give it to me!"

So, after the sound of footsteps, the chaotic figures hurried out of the ditch, and the puppet soldiers who were covered with dust in their military uniforms climbed out without panic. Rough, calloused hands yanked the rifle off, pulled the bolt, and loaded the cartridge.

The machine gunner held a Czech-style handle, bowed his waist, and began to attack westward lazily.

As the supervisor of the army, the devil's instructor was so angry that he jumped up and down, and the eighth road was still 600 meters away, so you just bent over, have you fed your bones to the dog?

Suddenly, a puppet soldier stepped on the hard soil on the surface of the ground. Maybe there was a rabbit hole in the ground. One confiscated his leg and fell down immediately. Nervous, he put his finger into the trigger hole nimbly, and subconsciously pulled the trigger.

Then, a clear gunshot sounded suddenly in the crowd.

The more than 100 people who don't know why, immediately lay down neatly on the ground.

The bullet hit the ground in front of the guy, splashing a cloud of dust.

Immediately, the platoon leader who escaped the fire kicked him all over the place: "You bastard, you are so nervous now, there is still a mile away on the eighth road, are you going to beat the rabbit?"

Those lying on the ground immediately roared with laughter.

"Hey... I accidentally stepped on a rabbit hole!" The puppet soldier who fell down laughed and got up, and for a moment, the tension before the war was gone.

The captain of the second lieutenant of the ghost behind him, holding a bayonet, really wanted to go forward and stab this guy to death, and immediately shouted in unskilled words: "Bage, quickly open the way!"

So the team got up from the ground unhurriedly, and continued to move forward slowly and lazily.

The company commander of the puppet army who was leading the team at the back stepped forward quickly, slapped the puppet army who had escaped, and said in a low voice: "Hurry up, don't make the imperial army unhappy!"

There are more than a hundred lazily scattered, yellow and oppressive, under the sun that has become a bit poisonous, slowly to the west for about a mile, and the eight-way position of the fortification is still being built.

No one expected that a fierce battle would start on the edge of the encirclement that the devils hadn't had time to form.
