under fire

Chapter 921 The old rules

Hearing the squad leader's call, the figures scattered from the roof slipped down, sneaked into the same courtyard and entered the house.

More than a dozen people leaned against the windows and doors to keep vigilant. A recruit asked under the instigation of the veteran: "Squad leader, at this time... why did you ask us all to come in? We have to stay on top..."

Seeing that everyone has arrived, the squad leader didn't waste time: "Listen to me, our battalion has never had any cowards since the ninth platoon. Now, the platoon leader asked us to leave the wounded and retreat first. Let's talk about what to do ?”

A blind man immediately got excited: "Since the platoon leader told us to withdraw first, then let's obey the order and leave?"

The squad leader said with a dark face: "But the platoon leader said he wanted to stay."

A soldier next to him knew that the squad leader was working mentally before the battle, and immediately stated: "Leave the platoon leader now and run for our lives. In the future, we will have the face to say that we are members of the Ninth Battalion? I will stay!"

The squad leader nodded in praise: "Your idea is good, do you have any other opinions?"

Few of the soldiers in the Ninth Battalion are fuel-efficient: "Let's leave now, and we still have a chance to avenge the platoon leader. If we all stay here to die, no one will burn paper money for us during the New Year's Eve."

The soldier who spoke earlier immediately took out a handful of banknotes from his pocket: "Paper money? Come on. I'll give it to you now, you fucking get out, but don't say you're a soldier of the Ninth Battalion in the future."

"Hey, what do you mean mother? The platoon leader said let us go"

"We should stay and live and die with the platoon leader."

Those who don't have a good eye actually don't care about whether to go or not: "If you don't say it earlier, just say no to what you want to do, monitor, you have to engage in these cutscenes?"

"Yes, yes, let's all stay..." A group of soldiers echoed.

Seeing the performance of the soldiers under his command, the squad leader was very satisfied: "Let's talk about it first, I didn't force everyone to violate the order of the platoon leader."

"Shameless..." Some two began to mutter.

Lengtouqing began to groan: "Aren't they just puppet soldiers? They dare to challenge the Nine Battalions. This time, I will piss them all out."

There were all kinds of voices: "Well, if the platoon leader blames the blame at that time, it will be a big deal to miss two meals, and everyone will blame you..."

More than a dozen people in the room were all gearing up.

The squad leader let out a long sigh of relief: "Okay, now let's talk about the situation of the enemies outside the village. The devils and puppet troops add up... more than 300"

Hearing what the squad leader said, the soldiers were immediately dumbfounded.

There was a gasp in the room: "What did you say? Didn't mother say that there were only more than 30 puppet troops?"

The squad leader was immediately excited: "What, are you scared? Want to be a turtle?"

"Grandma, what a bear, I will be afraid of those puppet soldiers and devils? Well, now give me ten grenades, and I will guard the north of the village alone!"

The recruit was a little flustered, so he hurriedly asked the veteran who was helping him, "Brother...then what shall we do now?"

"Nonsense, what is our Ninth Battalion doing? We were born to fight devils!"

"Didn't you say that you have only been in the Ninth Battalion for half a year?"

"roll!"

Not long-sighted worried: "Yes, yes, the village is so big, our small number of people is not enough for the enemy's teeth."

The squad leader raised his hand to suppress the messy voice, and gave the sarcasm a big slap in the face: "Don't we add the wounded soldiers to fifty or sixty? I'm afraid he's a bird."

The subordinate who was beaten said angrily: "We don't like beating people at the Eighth Route Army."

"It's okay for me to kick you," the squad leader said, and kicked him.

"I'm going to sue Lao Qin!"

"Don't talk nonsense! You can survive. The correspondent has already reported to the company commander. It won't be long before the company commander will send someone back.

The platoon leader and the wounded soldiers are fighting head-on in the south, and we will set up a second line of defense in the village to fight street fighting. As long as we can persist for two hours, the company commander will bring people back.”

The puppet company commander was experienced in encircling and suppressing anti-Japanese elements. Seeing that the encirclement had been completed, he immediately shouted at his subordinates: "Now, immediately shout out according to the old rules."

A dozen or so puppet soldiers were frightened and driven to the entrance of the village by the platoon leader who won the lottery. When they reached about 50 meters outside the village, they immediately piled up their corpses in a mess in the wilderness.

50 meters is considered a semi-dangerous distance for the puppet soldiers. If a gun is shot in the village, although it is possible to be hit by the bullets of the village, but it is so far away. Generally, it will not hit the vital point and [-]% will not die.

As long as you win the prize within the 30-meter grenade throwing range, you will be safe and worry-free.

Because, as everyone knows, the level of guerrilla shooting...

Anyone who has touched a gun, who doesn't know that good marksmanship depends on bullets?
I have captured a lot of guerrillas before, and I have figured out that they lack guns and ammunition. Many people usually practice shooting with wooden sticks. When they go to the battlefield, they only fire three or two bullets. There is a fart.

The false squad leader unhurriedly took out a shiny stick the size of chopsticks from his pocket: "Hurry up, come and draw lots, and the one who draws the shortest will come forward and shout!"

The puppet soldiers moved forward swiftly. They had done such things a lot. They all knew that among the dozen or so sticks in the squad leader's hand, only one was short.
One in ten, the chance of winning is really too small.

No matter how small the chance is, someone will always win the lottery. Finally, a puppet soldier came out with a mournful face.

Lying on the ground, he shouted to the village: "Listen up, everyone in the village. You are surrounded. Surrender is your only way out. Those who come out first will live, and those who come out last will die."

The lieutenant at the back was a little curious. As an elite of the imperial army, this was the first time he "personally" participated in such a low-level and boring encirclement and suppression operation.

Just now I ordered the Imperial Association Army to encircle the village. The Imperial Association Army seems to have carried it out well. I used to hear that the Imperial Association Army was afraid of trouble. It seems...the legend is wrong!
Shigenobu hasn't come back yet, he didn't order the Imperial Association Army to enter the village, because he has never commanded such a boring game before, let alone cooperate with the Imperial Association Army...

Seeing that the Imperial Association Army was organized, he suddenly felt that the siege was interesting, so he sat down firmly on the saddle handed over by his assistant, intending to watch the excitement.

By the way, find out how the guerrillas in the village will react to the siege.

I have always pretended to be the Eighth Route before, but this time, maybe I can provide some experience for myself to pretend to be a guerrilla in the future
Seeing that the Taijun did not issue a new order, the pseudo-company commander seemed to approve of his actions, and immediately said to the orderly next to him: "According to the old rules, prepare for the second step."

After all, there are a lot of bounties for catching an anti-Japanese element. Just now, I heard that the Taijun said that he should be caught alive. It is said that the bold will starve to death, and the reckless will naturally be everywhere.

Seeing that there was no guerrilla movement in the village, the puppet soldiers who heard the company commander's order started to prepare, talking and laughing.

The encirclement and suppression of the guerrillas was actually very simple. A large number of imperial troops surrounded them. They fired shots to scare them, and then the army rushed into the village in a hurry...and crushed them directly.

Then drive the villagers out from house to house and gather together to check the certificates of good people, kill two insignificant Eighth Route Anti-Japanese elements on the spot, and finally arrest them and finish the job.

This kind of thing has been done countless times before, and it has been tried and tested.

Wang Xiaosan, who was lying on the roof, saw the puppet army start to move, and quickly pulled the trigger... a bullet jumped out.

"You're so nervous, you've pulled the trigger a second time." The old bandit Qi next to him continued to bask in the sun, although it wasn't warm at all.

Immediately afterwards, the puppet soldiers began to fire aggressively at the village.

Da da da da da...

bang... bang... bang...

pop... pop...

Bullets from machine guns, rifles, and shell guns roared and flew aimlessly towards the village...

Puff hit the wall, shattered the window, flew into the room and made a horrible noise...
