One hundred and fifty-eight chapters fight for aid (2)
Chapter 158: Reinforcement (2)
It turned out that before the Japanese invasion, after receiving the order from the headquarters to prepare for war, the entire village was mobilized. Since this village is located on the periphery of the base area, it must be the primary target of the Japanese invasion, so in order to ensure the safety of people's lives and property
, the headquarters decided to transfer several villages in Waiwei as a whole, and some of the remaining grain and livestock that could not be moved were hidden in tunnels... and with the help of cadres and soldiers, they were all transferred to the Zhangjiazhuang area for concealment.
All the people were moved away, and the whole village became a battlefield. Before the Japanese invaded, the soldiers still took the time to dig tunnels, fill wells, and clear the fields. In order to better attack the Japanese, the headquarters stayed in the village.
A company of troops was mobilized and asked to use the existing tunnel network in the village to seize the opportunity to attack the arrogant Japs, and then retreat calmly after inflicting a certain amount of casualties on the Japs.
At this time, one of the company commanders leading the team was Wang Da, the commander of the first company of the New Regiment. He was a cadre who had been purged of counter-revolutionaries and was rescued by Liu Hua on the bank of the Xiang River. He had rich combat experience, especially in guerrilla warfare.
, so after listening to the investigator’s report, my mind immediately became active.
If the strength of a small team were to fight in the wild or in the streets of the city, if the strength of a company of his own faced him, it would be very difficult to win. Even if he won in the end, it would be a miserable victory. However, now that he has real help,
He is fully capable of wiping out this team of Japs in the shortest possible time.
If you use the tunnel, you can eliminate the Japanese troops in this small group without anyone noticing, and then retreat quietly. In this way, a small group of Japanese soldiers will be killed by you without anyone noticing. Then, at night, you will be leading the company.
Come back from the tunnel and give the Japanese another night attack... Thinking of this, company commander Wang Da showed a slight smile on his lips.
"Order, each platoon and squad will immediately enter combat positions and prepare to annihilate all the Japs in this team. Remember, no one can be spared. Guard squad, you go to the entrance of the village through the tunnel. On the one hand, you will monitor the main Japs outside the village. On the other hand,
Block the Japs' escape route. For our actions tonight, we must not let the Japs know that there is a tunnel in the village. So, let out a living Japs and I will question you. There are all in the company. After hearing my gunfire,
Before you can open fire, take action immediately." Company Commander Wang Da immediately ordered to the squad platoon leader in front of him.
After assigning combat tasks, Wang Da took his correspondent, pulled out the shell gun from his waist, followed the tunnel, and climbed to the roof of a house in the middle of the village. Through the telescope, he could see that at this time, a Japanese team
The troops have completely entered the village. Each Japanese soldier is holding a rifle, bending down, forming a battle formation, and slowly searching and advancing into the village. There is no trace of confusion in the entire search formation.
"Damn it, no wonder the little Japs are so powerful in combat. They even maintained their formation during the search without any confusion. Tell the soldiers, don't underestimate the enemy. This group of Japs is very difficult to deal with." Wang Da ordered to the correspondent behind him.
Slowly, the little Japs got closer and closer, and were already less than 40 meters away from Wang Da's ambush point. "Bang" Wang Da aimed at a Japs holding a command knife and fired. Of course, Wang Da fired the gun.
Da didn't stop for long, quickly slid into the tunnel and ran towards the other shooting hole.
The Japanese reacted very quickly. When they heard the sound of gunfire, they immediately pointed the rifle at Wang Da's ambush position. "Bang, bang..." More than a dozen bullets shattered the place where Wang Da was hiding.
Fei. However, at this time, Wang Da had already moved. And the Japanese team leader was lying on the ground without moving at all.
"Da da da..." A burst of machine gunfire swept out from the house on the Japs side. Suddenly, several Japs who were caught off guard were swept to the ground. Hearing the sound of the machine gun, the remaining Japs immediately lay on the ground, all the firepower
They all pointed at the house where the bullets were fired. Another grenade was thrown from the roof of the house opposite, causing a rain of blood.
At this time, dozens of Japanese troops without the command of a squad leader suddenly became a mess in the face of attacks from everywhere. In the end, they could only fight independently under the leadership of their respective sergeants, and dispersed to break out. Soon, the village
Not a single living Japanese soldier could be seen on the road in the middle, only a dozen corpses still bleeding.
The remaining Japanese troops, led by three sergeants, divided into three groups and rushed into the courtyard. Although they temporarily escaped the ubiquitous bullets and grenades of the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army stayed in the tunnel after all.
and were very familiar with the terrain of the village. Soon, the soldiers, in platoon units, slowly sneaked through the tunnels into the three compounds where the Japs were concentrated and surrounded them.
At this time, the Japanese troops in the three courtyards were in dire straits. They were familiar with the terrain and the concealment of the tunnels. The soldiers were like fish swimming into the sea, and began to shoot and throw grenades at the Japanese unscrupulously. Immediately, the entire courtyard was bombarded with bullets.
The smoke from the grenade explosion shrouded the Japanese soldiers who were lying on the ground and hiding behind the wall. They were all shot and killed by the soldiers without them realizing it.
Soon, there were only a few Japanese soldiers still resisting in the three courtyards. Facing the remaining Japanese soldiers hiding in the blind spots, the soldiers squatted in the tunnel and were helpless. So, a platoon of soldiers walked out of the tunnel.
Suppressed by light machine guns and using grenades, the remaining Japs were quickly eliminated. In order to prevent retaliatory bombardment by the Japanese army, the victorious soldiers did not stay longer on the surface, but quickly cleaned the battlefield and moved from the tunnels to the outside of the village.
.
Everything that happened in the village was a mystery to the main force of the Japanese army outside the village. When the battle in the village was turning to one side, the Japanese captain was walking back and forth at the headquarters. Listening to the chaotic gunshots that kept ringing in the village,
The commander of the regiment was very anxious. He wanted to shell the village, but there was a small team of his own in the village. He wanted to send troops for reinforcements, but he didn't know the situation in the village...
"Your Excellency, Captain, please don't worry. You have to believe in the combat effectiveness of the reconnaissance squadron. Even if they are surrounded by eight people, they are still capable of breaking out of the encirclement. We don't know the situation in the village at all now. We can only wait for the reconnaissance squadron."
Only after the soldiers come out and report the situation in the village can we issue the next combat order." The chief of staff next to him looked at the anxious commander and quickly comforted him.
After listening to the words of the chief of staff, the commander slowly calmed down and began to wait quietly. Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, the gunfire in the village stopped. However, as the commander continued to use
The telescope was observing the entrance of the village, but there was no news about the reconnaissance squadron that had broken through. "Is it possible that an elite reconnaissance team of mine was wiped out by eight people? Impossible, absolutely impossible." The captain muttered to himself. But no matter what
He didn't believe it, but in the end, he still didn't wait until the soldiers from the reconnaissance squadron walked out of the village.
At this time, the commander of the regiment had no choice but to believe his conjecture. "Baga, order the mortar squadron to shell the village immediately. Kill all the eight people in the village and take revenge for the broken soldiers. Quickly." the commander shouted.
shouted. Because, based on my experience fighting the Chinese army on the front line, if you want to eliminate one of your reconnaissance teams in such a short period of time, then the opponent must have a battalion of troops.
Since the mortar squadron has been on standby, it can fire immediately after receiving the order from the commander. More than a dozen shells at a time continued to fall into the village. Soon, fires broke out in many places. Watching
The village had already begun to burn, and the captain of the regiment was extremely excited, "Yo Xi, this time we will let the Eighth Route Army have a taste of how powerful we are at defeating the Japanese Imperial Army." Thinking of the Eighth Route Army constantly attacking him along the way, and seeing the village getting more and more burned, he
The commander of the regiment said excitedly. He had no idea that his artillery was wasting precious artillery shells pointlessly.
"Order, the First Squadron of the First Battalion immediately launches a charge to eliminate the Eighth Route Army in the village and avenge the dead Imperial warriors." The captain immediately issued the order to attack.
Soon, a squadron of soldiers, under the cover of several heavy machine guns, charged towards the deserted village with bayonets drawn. Soon, the village that had been destroyed by artillery shells was occupied by the Japanese army.
"Your Excellency, the commander of the squadron, the squadron commander who has entered the village reports that except for the corpses of the soldiers of the reconnaissance squadron, there is not a single Eighth Route Army member in the village, not even a corpse."
"Nani, Baga, how could this happen? You sly eight-legged people, I will definitely cut you into pieces." After hearing the report, the captain cursed loudly. He looked at the sky and saw that it was slowly getting dark.
"Order, Wing Headquarters, the first brigade is stationed in the village, the remaining troops are stationed on the spot, and the sweep will continue tomorrow." Seeing that it was already very late, the wing leader gave the order to camp.
After receiving the order, the soldiers who had been marching for a day breathed a sigh of relief and began to set up camp and cook. Just when the regiment commander walked into a private house that served as the headquarters and sat down not long after, a new problem arose.
"Your Excellency, the captain, the cooks of each squadron just reported that no water sources were found within a few kilometers around the village, so the troops cannot cook dinner." The chief of staff told the captain who was about to take a rest the report he had just received.
Your Mightiness.
"Baga, there is no water source. So what do the eight people in the village drink?" the captain opened his eyes and asked immediately.
"Captain, several wells in the village have been blocked by the Eighth Route Army, and some have been dumped with a large number of dead animals, making them undrinkable." The chief of staff quickly told the commander in front of him what he knew about the situation.
"Baga, the hateful Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army must have blocked the well. What do they want to do? Do they want to kill the elite imperial army with thirst? The samurai of the Empire of Japan will definitely not give in. Chief of Staff, give the order immediately
The soldiers of a squadron, using the vehicles of the baggage brigade, must find the water source in the shortest time along our march route and solve the drinking water problem of the troops."
