Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 123 The Militia Squad's Blocking

The village in the col ahead is called Dongyang Village.

At this time, the people in Dongyang Village were busy making breakfast, completely unaware of the imminent danger.

"Wang!"

"Wow woof woof!—"

Suddenly, the hunting dog raised in the village yelled manically.

Yang Tieniu is the captain of the militia in Dongyang Village. He quickly realized that something was wrong and rushed out of the house immediately.

When I looked up, a large number of devils were swarming towards the entrance of the village all over the mountains and plains.

"No, the devil is coming!" Seeing this scene, Yang Tieniu immediately yelled: "Folks, run, run!"

Dongyang Village belongs to the defense zone of the Eighth Route Army, and the mass base is very good, and even a militia has been formed.

The Eighth Route Army not only helped the militia to train, but even gave them some guns and ammunition.

Seeing the devils rushing fiercely, the whole village fell into chaos at once. The villagers hurriedly dropped their cooking tools, firewood, pots and pans, etc., and rushed out of the house to run up the mountain.

But many villagers just ran out for a few steps, and soon turned back, wanting to take away their chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep and other livestock.

These are almost all the properties of the villagers, and they naturally don't want to give them up.

"Folks, don't worry about these animals, survival is the most important thing, run up the mountain quickly, fast, fast!"

Seeing this, Yang Tieniu became a little anxious. While urging the villagers to let them run quickly, he shouted to the more than 20 militiamen under him: "Brothers, come, follow me to the entrance of the village to stop the devils, and cover the villagers to transfer. !"

"Monkey, hurry up, go to Sunjiazhai to ask for support, and report the news of the devils going to the countryside to sweep up the countryside to the new battalion of the Eighth Route Army!"

After the independent regiment was broken into parts and dispersed, Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, led the troops to the Sunjiazhai area for development.

The militia team in Dongyang Village was trained by the first battalion.

Some villagers cannot become professional soldiers due to various reasons such as farming the land to do farm work, or supporting the elderly at home, or raising children.

Coupled with the limited conditions of the Eighth Route Army, it was unable to provide enough food and weapons, so the militia was established under such circumstances.

And the headquarters of the only battalion is located in Sunjiazhai...

Returning to the main story of the book, the 20 or so militiamen in Dongyang Village have never seen this scene before. Seeing the menacing army of devils, their faces were ashamed and their legs trembled like chaff.

But they were afraid, but they still gritted their teeth and followed Yang Tieniu towards the entrance of the village.

Not for anything else, just because behind them are the parents, wives and children they care about most.

For parents, wives and children, you can risk your life, so what is fear?
More than 20 militiamen followed Yang Tieniu to the small bridge at the entrance of the village, and set up the only few old sleeves and firecrackers.

Others could only hold a red tasseled gun or a saber.

As far as this is concerned, their equipment is considered pretty good among the militia squads in ten miles and eight villages.

Some militia squads even only have a few hunting firecrackers.

At the same time, the thin militiaman named Monkey left from the back of the village and rushed towards Sunjiazhai.

In order to buy time for the villagers to evacuate, Yang Tieniu carried a pack of dynamite and placed it at the head of the wooden bridge at the entrance of the village, ready to blow up the wooden bridge.

Amidst the shouts of killing like a tide, the devils from the Yamazaki Battalion quickly arrived, and the militiamen opened fire one after another in a panic.

"Clap, clap!"

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Gunshots sounded, and a large piece of iron sand mixed with a few bullets rushed towards the oncoming devils like a tide.

……

Due to the lack of supplies, the Eighth Route Army also explored a lot of killer moves when engaging in guerrilla warfare with the devils, such as placing animal traps in the mountains and forests, setting various traps, etc.

In addition, it is necessary to use kraft sand.

The so-called cowhide sand is to cut the cowhide into small pieces, then fry them and knead them into small round grains.

Finally, the cowhide sand and iron sand are put into a hunting firecracker and fired together.

Anyone who has used firecrackers or knows about firecrackers knows that the firecrackers use iron sand instead of conventional bullets, so it is also called sand spray, and it is a large piece of spray.

The firecracker is a range attack weapon, which can cause damage to multiple targets at the same time, but the disadvantage is also very fatal, that is, the range is too short and the lethality is limited.

Among them, due to the insufficient hardness of kraft sand, it is almost difficult to cause fatal damage to the target after hitting the target, but it is very troublesome.

One is that there are so many wounds that it is very troublesome to clean them up, and the other is that the fried cowhide sand will collide after being soaked in blood, which makes the injured devils miserable.

The reason is very simple, it is like a thorn in the hand, if it is not taken out, it will make people feel uncomfortable all over.

And if many thorns are inserted, and these thorns will expand and become bigger, you don't need to think about the sour taste.

Therefore, as long as the little devil is hit by the cowhide sand, he will basically lose his combat effectiveness.

"Boom, boom boom boom!"

Several firecrackers fired at the same time, spraying hundreds of cowhide sand and iron sand at the devil.

The devils in the Yamazaki brigade probably didn't expect that the folks in this village are so tough, and it's okay to see them coming to sweep up and not flee, but they dared to resist.

As a result, the devil soldiers who rushed to the front were immediately hit, and immediately screamed and fell off the bridge.

Because it is winter, the river dries up, exposing the pebbles in the river bed.

Two of the unlucky ones hit their heads on the hard cobblestones, their brains splashed out, and they died on the spot.

The other devils who were not dead were also lying on the river bed in pain, howling and rolling.

At the same time, Yang Tieniu also detonated the explosive package immediately, breaking the wooden bridge.

But soon Yang Tieniu discovered that he had overlooked a problem, that is, it was winter now, and the water in the river had already dried up.

Devils don't need to cross the wooden bridge at all, they can also cross the river by walking on the river bed.

Sure enough, the devils from the Yamazaki Brigade soon dispersed and descended from a gentle place to the river beach.

Seeing this scene, the militiamen in Dongyang Village were a little dumbfounded.

They looked at Yang Tieniu one after another, and asked anxiously: "Captain, what should we do now?"

"I……"

Yang Tieniu also had some numb claws.

Since Dongyang Village's militia team was formed, this was the first time they had fought against devils. Facing so many devil soldiers at this moment, they just acted a little flustered.

Only Yang Erniu, the sharpshooter of the militia team, after firing the first shot, unhurriedly pulled the bolt to eject the cartridge, then pushed the cartridge to load it, raised the gun to aim, and pulled the trigger.

"Clap" sound.

Yang Tieniu and the militiamen next to him subconsciously looked in the direction of the muzzle of the gun, and then saw a devil soldier fell in the river bed without any movement.

"Good job! Er Niu, shoot again!"

Yang Tieniu and the militiamen praised him one after another, and then urged him to continue firing...
