Chapter 22 The right choice, the two warring parties
The north of the village was easy to attack and difficult to defend, with numerous houses and very few blocking positions, which provided the Japanese army with prerequisites for an attack.
"You stay in the south of the village. If the Japanese army does not attack, forget it. If the Japanese army attacks, don't resist. Give up the south of the village immediately and come to the north of the village to find me!"
Xia Yuan warned that although the location in the south of the village was good, it would be difficult for the two of them to defend the south of the village. Some tactical means must be adopted to deal with the Japanese army. This would involve using the alleys in the north of the village. However, Niujia Village has a small population, so the north of the village must be used.
No matter how complete the houses are, the number of alleys that can be formed is very small.
But for him, it's enough.
The village is a natural environment that divides the battlefield, especially when the enemy is in the light and we are in the dark.
If the Japanese army really entered the village, they could only fight hard. If they did not enter the village, they would use the geographical environment of the south and north of the village to misjudge the Japanese army and make the Japanese army think that the guerrillas were hiding in the south of the village.
Choosing to make a tentative breakthrough from the north of the village will give him a chance.
In the second type, the Japanese army chose to break through from the south of the village.
Xia Yuan thought of this. Once he found out that the Japanese army did not choose the north of the village, but entered from the south of the village, he would immediately abandon the north of the village and support the south of the village held by Sanbao.
This is a situation where a small force attacks. If it is a large force, it will become the Three Treasures coming to him.
The battle plan is very simple. Xia Yuan first fires a shot to tell the Japanese army that there are guerrilla armed forces in the village, and then it depends on how the Japanese army chooses to attack. If it is a tentative attack, they can choose to attack the north and south of the village. It is better to attack the north of the village and attack the south of the village.
, he supported.
If the Japanese army did not choose a small group of troops to test the attack, but directly attacked with a squadron, they would have to retreat to the north of the village while fighting. The alley in the north of the village can provide perfect protection for the two of them, and they still have room to maneuver.
.
After Xia Yuan personally chose a location for Sanbao with a wide view and where he could advance or retreat, he quickly went to the north of the village, found a house near the edge of the village, got in, checked the environment in the room, and went to the window
He opened his mouth and looked at the approaching Japanese troops in the distance. He quietly stretched out his gun and aimed at the Japanese squadron leader who was walking among the ranks in the distance.
On the other side, Sanbao grabbed the bullet, filled the magazine with bullets, and waited quietly with bated breath. There was no fear in his heart, only endless courage. The Japanese army killed so many civilians, and now the guerrillas were in a critical situation again. He could only stand
Only by coming out can the critical situation faced by the guerrillas be solved.
There is no other choice. Choice means escape and retreat. Then someone will pay the price for his retreat today.
Sanbao firmly grasped the gun in his hand and stared at the Japanese troops getting closer and closer in the distance.
Bang!
A gunshot was heard in the dead village, and the gunfire spread on the plain. From a distance, Sanbao saw a figure falling down in the Japanese army. Suddenly, the entire Japanese army advancing in an orderly manner looked like
Like an exploding hornet's nest, he opened his eyes wide and looked at the commotion of the Japanese army in disbelief, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
"Hit, hit!?"
Sanbao was extremely shocked. Xia Yuan hit the enemy with one shot from such a long distance. It was so unexpected. He thought that Xia Yuan could only fire a blank gun to disturb the Japanese army, but he never thought that he did not fire a blank gun at all.
Thoughts, from such a distance, he saw that Xia Yuan hit the adjutant of the Japanese squadron, but did not see which part was hit.
This was still extremely shocking. In Sanbao's view, no one in the entire Gaojiazhuang could kill the Japanese from such a distance as Xia Yuan.
The alerted Japanese soldiers quickly dispersed into a long line of skirmishers, and then quickly retreated to the rear. The Japanese soldiers lacked the intelligence to judge the current situation in Niujiazhuang and attacked rashly without knowing the enemy's troop deployment in Niujiazhuang.
, is a very stupid behavior.
The Japanese squadron leader ordered the troops to retreat one hundred meters, and then quickly dug trenches and built bunkers and other defensive fortifications.
The actions of the Japanese army are under Xia Yuan's control. It is actually very risky to shoot like this. After angering the Japanese, the Japanese are very likely to rush in directly, but the possibility is relatively small. Xia Yuan's control is
Since the Japanese army was completely unaware of the guerrillas' deployment of armed forces in Niujia Village, a hasty attack would most likely result in damage here.
The Japanese army moved very quickly. Less than five minutes after Xia Yuan opened fire, they retreated a hundred meters and dug a shallow trench as a defensive position. The Japanese army was very experienced in dealing with guerrillas.
Yes, the guerrillas do not have very good weapons and equipment, and retreating a hundred meters will basically completely avoid the range of the guerrilla weapons.
Even if you only retreat fifty meters, you can avoid the range of the guerrillas' weapons. After all, the range is just a number. Whether it can hit the target depends on the user. At such a distance, it does not rule out the possibility of a blind cat encountering a dead mouse.
The trenches do not need to be dug too deep, basically a shallow trench will do. This is also the experience they have gained in dealing with the guerrillas for so many years. The guerrillas rarely carry out critical battles in plain areas, especially when they lack heavy firepower equipment.
.
Therefore, this behavior of the Japanese army is very standard.
After Xia Yuan fired one shot, he did not fire a second shot. After turning on his eagle eye, he hid at the window and observed the Japanese troops in the distance. He clearly saw the Japanese squadron leader and another adjutant holding binoculars.
Observe Niujiazhuang.
"Little devil, I will teach you a lesson today."
The Japanese army used the empty city strategy on the Myanmar battlefield. When the expeditionary force was defeated, the distance between the Japanese pursuit force and the logistics force was very large, resulting in a huge gap in the middle. The logistics force used grenades and
The purpose of small-caliber mortars to carry out targetless bombing is to strengthen themselves from the outside and make the enemy feel that the number of Japanese troops here is very large.
The empty city plan that Xia Yuan sang is completely opposite. Under the Japanese telescope, not a single shaking figure can be seen in Niujia Village. And the more this situation is, the more likely it is to mislead the Japanese Japanese in judging how many people there are in Niujia Village.
Guerrilla armed forces.
This made the Japanese squadron leader unpredictable, and the messenger's report came to his ears: "Captain Zhongmu is not seriously injured, the bullet did not hit a vital part."
"Xingxi!" The Japanese squadron leader put down the telescope and calmed his mind a little, "It's fine as long as it's no big deal. The Chinese people are so cunning. They even set up an ambush in Niujia Village. But I don't know why the Chinese people suddenly exposed themselves. This Niujia Village looks like
It feels very peaceful. How many Chinese people are there..."
There was a hint of hesitation in his tone, as if he was unable to make an accurate judgment based on his previous observation.
The adjutant put down the telescope and said with a slight hesitation: "Could it be that the Chinese don't have many troops in Niujia Village!?"
The squadron leader shook his head: "No, the Chinese are very cunning. Niujia Village has just been raided by us. Now that the guerrillas have discovered it, they are likely to keep an eye on Niujia Village, and our actions will undoubtedly anger them and even attack them."
We launched a crazy act of revenge. There will not be too few guerrillas in Niujia Village! After all, a small group of our soldiers disappeared in Niujia Village. To annihilate them, the Chinese need to mobilize a large number of troops."
The adjutant was thinking and listened to the squadron leader's continued analysis, "And the shot just now, I think it was the soldier's gun that went off, but it happened to hit squad leader Zhongmu."
The adjutant nodded slowly, thinking that the squadron leader's analysis made sense, "They have exposed themselves. The squadron leader is wise. Although the Chinese people are cunning, they are a group of ignorant people. Such an ambush was actually carried out by
They were exposed, stupid and ridiculous."
The squadron leader thought that his analysis was very correct. He smiled with a hint of confidence and said: "The Chinese probably annihilated Ida and the others last night but did not leave. They wanted to lure us into taking the bait. It's a pity that they
This is exposed."
The adjutant marveled at the squadron leader's intelligence, and then asked suspiciously: "Then what are we going to do next?!"
The squadron leader used the telescope to observe for a while, but still saw no sign of anyone moving in Niujia Village. He still felt a little strange in his heart, but it was quickly replaced by his previous judgment. He said: "Although I know that there are people in Niujia Village.
Chinese people, but we don’t know their number or firepower. It’s also unclear whether they need reinforcements. We first send a small team of soldiers to explore and tell them to attack from that direction!”
The squadron leader stretched out his white-gloved hand and pointed in the distance. That direction was the north of the village!
From a distance, the south of the village has been turned into a ruins, full of broken walls and traces of being burned by the fire, while the houses in the north of the village stand on the horizon, looking very complete, but after being burned by the fire
, most of the houses have been turned black.
The adjutant retracted his gaze with a smile on his face: "There are broken houses everywhere on the left side, and the terrain in front is very flat. The Chinese are likely to be ambushing inside, which is the most unsuitable position for attack. On the right side, the houses are intact.
, are at an angle to each other, and the only positions that can be defended are houses and yards. The terrain in front of the right side is a gentle slope with high west and low east. It is difficult to defend, but easy to attack. It is the best offensive position. Send out our large troops and attack in one fell swoop.
Capture it!"
The squadron leader put down the telescope and said: "No, send a small team of soldiers to check the Chinese people's combat effectiveness first. If they are weak, we will attack and take them down in one fell swoop. If the enemy's combat effectiveness is strong, then we can use an old Chinese saying
, boil the frog in warm water, surround it, and eat it slowly."
The adjutant showed a happy look on his face: "What a good idea. This way you can reduce the casualties of our Japanese Emperor's soldiers and eat them. The squadron leader is smart and will definitely be promoted in the future!"
The squadron leader enjoyed the adjutant's flattery and said: "Act immediately!"
"yes!"
A Japanese team of more than ten people started attacking from the gentle slope on the north side towards the north of the village.
Seeing the actions of the Japanese army, Xia Yuan quickly retracted his gun, came out of the room, looked at the little Japanese in the distance, and showed a smile on his face: "I'm hooked!"
It is easy for him to deal with a Japanese team of ten people. He has powerful skills and can eat up this Japanese team as quickly as possible!
After leaving the observation room, Xia Yuan went to the second floor of the second house, hid himself on the roof, and then quietly waited for the arrival of the Japanese army. This position was condescending, with roads to the front, back, left, and right. The Japanese army wanted to pass through.
When attacking from the north of the village, the road in front is considered the only way.
According to his assumption, after entering the north of the village, the Japanese army would divide into two or three teams and disperse into the village, which would definitely give him an opportunity.
As expected, the Japanese army advanced cautiously, but when they were very close to the north of the village, they encountered no resistance from the guerrillas inside Niujia Village. The squad leader immediately waved his arms and gestured to tell his men to divide into three groups and enter the north of the village from the left, middle and right.
, a small team of four people, and one of them entered the only way for Xia Yuan's ambush.
At the south end of the village, Sanbao looked at the scene in front of him anxiously. After the Japanese entered the village, he did not hear the sound of gunshots. He was secretly worried. If the Japanese entered the village and found that there was no one in the village, they would report to the other side.
The Japanese army, a Japanese squadron, even if they die in battle, they will never be able to resist it.
Just when he was secretly anxious.
Bang!
A gunshot sounded from the north end of the village, followed by loud gunshots.
The war is on!
Sanbao's heart suddenly rose and he wanted to go to help, but he couldn't go. He still needed to watch over the south end of the village.
At this time, Xia Yuan was already hiding in a corner. He pulled the bolt, raised the gun, took aim, pulled the trigger, and the bullet came out. A Japanese soldier who passed through the low wall with only half of his head exposed fell to the ground.
The Japanese soldiers were shocked and pulled the trigger in the direction of the gunshots. They only heard the bullets hitting the wall, but they never saw the Chinese.
Xia Yuan had already escaped after shooting. Although he was not very skilled in this kind of street fighting, with his superb combat experience, he was still able to do this kind of street fighting with ease. Moreover, after a small group of Japanese soldiers separated, one of the Japanese small groups encountered his attack.
After that, other Japanese squads quickly moved closer to the attacked squad.
After Xia Yuan killed two Japanese soldiers, he quickly made a detour. The Japs' reinforcements gave him an opportunity. At the intersection, the Japs had just exposed half of their bodies. Xia Yuan, who reacted extremely quickly, slightly moved his fingers and the bullet came out.
The Japanese seemed to have been struck by a whip. Under the inertia of running, he tilted and fell to the ground.
The remaining three Japanese soldiers were so frightened that they did not even dare to show their bodies. They only held their guns and shot randomly without even looking. They did not rush out stupidly like in the anti-Japanese drama, but stood apart and waited.
In order to kill people, continuous gunshots rang out, and the bullets flew to nowhere.
After they fired a few shots, they noticed that there was no movement at all. One of the Japanese soldiers took a deep breath and carefully poked half of his head out while holding the gun.
