Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 30
Compared with the daytime, the devil's reaction speed at night must be much slower.

After all, most devils are resting.

A small number of devil soldiers on guard patrol also lost their combat effectiveness in the rapid fire attack of the guard company, and had no way to fight back.

It wasn't until the guards retreated to 200 meters away that the sporadic gunfire of the devil's counterattack became more intense.

At this time, under the cover of night and the guard company was too far away from them, as long as they were not too unlucky, the counterattack bullets fired by the devils would not be able to do anything to the Eighth Route Army.

After firing bullets for a few minutes, and after there was no movement outside the barracks, the captain of the devil brigade decisively ordered the troops to stop shooting.

A squadron leader ran over and reported: "Your Excellency, the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack caused us five warriors to be killed and 12 warriors to be injured!"

"Bageyalu, Tubalu are too cunning. When we find them, we will definitely smash them into pieces!" Facing the disappearing guard company, the captain could only use cursing to vent his anger and anger. dissatisfied.

After cursing, he ordered: "Send the wounded to the wounded barracks. The troops continue to rest and recharge their spirits. Tomorrow, we will continue to search Tuba Road. We must find them and destroy them!"

"Also, in the remaining few hours, we need to double the security posts to prevent the Tuba Road from attacking us again!"

In two hours, although the vigilance and patrol strength of the devils had more than doubled, because what Wang Ping wanted was to attack and kill the devils from a long distance, he didn't need to get too close to their barracks.

After the devil's barracks became quiet again, Wang Ping launched another attack!
This time, the guards fired within 200 meters of the devils' barracks.

Although the bullets fired by the rifleman at this distance are not very accurate, depending on the density of the bullets, many devil sentries and patrols were hit.

In particular, the three grenades fired by the grenade directly hit the barracks and exploded, blowing up a tent, killing and wounding more than a dozen Japanese soldiers inside the tent!
When the devils reacted, the guard company ran away without a trace.

Finally, after dawn, the vice-captain ran over before the captain of the devils had breakfast.

"Your Excellency Captain, with the two sneak attacks at night and the first team entering the village, the number of wounded soldiers in the wounded barracks has reached 52. I don't know whether to bring them or not in today's march?"

The captain of the devil group suddenly lost his good mood for breakfast, and then cursed loudly: "Baga, are you stupid? There are more than 50 injuries, and more than 100 people are needed to lift the wounded. The total is that an infantry squadron lost Combat power. How many of our troops can be wasted on lifting the wounded!"

"If you encounter the main force of the Eighth Route Army, everyone will go to carry the wounded, and who else will fight!"

The deputy captain who was scolded all over his face hastily asked: "Then captain, do you mean to send them back?"

The anger on the face of the captain of the Devils grew even stronger, and he continued to yell: "Send them back and don't want anyone? How many elites do you plan to send them back? Is it one infantry squad or two infantry squads!"

He was scolded twice in the early morning, and he would be very angry if he was an individual, not to mention the deputy captain of the brigade who was second only to the brigade captain.

However, the strict hierarchy in the military made him unable to hold back his anger no matter how angry he was, and he had to put on a very teachable attitude, and replied flatteringly: "At least two infantry squads are needed!"

The captain continued to scold without mercy: "If you want me to say that two infantry squads are missing, you need two squads just to lift the wounded. Don't you plan to send people to protect them? Don't forget, there are always Tubalu watching around us." Now, there are fewer troops to protect them, and these wounded will be targeted by Tubalu as soon as they set off!"

Although he was still very angry, the deputy captain had to admit that what the captain said was right.

With the fighting power shown by Tubalu on the battlefield, there are fewer escort troops. As long as Tubalu ambushes the escort troops, these wounded must be the fat of Tubalu.

A trace of fear surfaced on the vice-captain's face, and big beads of sweat also emerged from the vice-captain's forehead.Then whispered to the question and answer: "Your Excellency, what do you mean?"

"All the wounded stay here, and then leave a combat unit equipped with a mortar, a heavy machine gun, three crooked handles, and enough ammunition to protect them!" The captain replied confidently.

"Find a strong enough yard in the village to protect them. With such a strong defensive firepower, even if Tubalu wants to eat them, it will not be so easy!"

The deputy captain's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "With such a powerful defensive firepower, there is also a mortar to provide artillery support. Even if Tubalu deploys a main battalion to launch an attack, it will be impossible to break through in a short time!"

"As long as the defensive troops can hold out for enough time, our main force can quickly return to Zougang Village and encircle the Eighth Route Army that wants to eat our wounded!"

"Yo Xi, this is a word that Chinese people often say, kill two birds with one stone!" The captain was very satisfied with the vice-captain's answer.

Then he began to issue orders: "The firepower configuration of the remaining troops will be as I said just now, and then a rifle group will be transferred, and a grenadier group will remain."

"Will there be too few riflemen? The yard that can accommodate more than 50 wounded people must be too small. There are only a dozen riflemen in a rifle team, and it must not be able to guard such a large yard." The deputy captain continued to raise his concerns.

"No!" The captain smiled and answered confidently.

"As far as I know, half of the more than 50 wounded have no arm injuries. Although they cannot march, it is no problem for them to rely on fortifications for defense."

"Leave all the weapons of the wounded. When the Eighth Route Army attacks, the remaining troops will have nearly forty riflemen to fight."

When the devils began to prepare for today's battle, more than 60 people from the guard company were hiding in the woods to rest. They attacked the devils twice in a row in one night. The fierce and tense battle made everyone very tired.

As soon as everyone entered the forest where they were hiding, they began to sleep soundly.

A burst of exclamation reached Wang Ping's ears at this moment.

Although Wang Ping was also soundly asleep, he was not bad at all vigilance, and he woke up as soon as the exclamation came!
"Company Commander, good news, the devils have divided their forces, you've already figured it out!" The security squad leader Zhong Yusheng hadn't rushed over yet, an excited and incredible voice came over.

Zhang Qing followed Wang Ping and opened his eyes. First he frowned, and then his eyes shot out two rays of light. He stared at Zhong Yusheng who was rushing over and asked, "The devils have really divided their forces!"

"The troops were divided, so the wounded stayed in Zougang Village, but the devil still left a lot of people to protect them!" Zhong Yusheng replied with an excited face.
