"Japanese Special Agent Team!" Wang Xuexin couldn't help being surprised when he saw the Japs jumping forward nimble and fast.
Wang Xuexin had previously suspected that it was a Japanese spy team, the same team led by Kazuki Yamamoto in the TV series.
This is not because the devils in front of them are wearing paratrooper mesh helmets and a pair of almost useless goggles like in the TV series... No special agent team would dress like this in reality. This will only make enemies or spies glance at them.
There is no benefit in identifying them and locking onto their movements at any time so as to guess their attack targets.
The costumes of these Japs are no different from ordinary Japs, and some of them are even dressed like Chinese common people... These people are obviously used to confuse the common people or the Eighth Route Army. It is not difficult to guess that they can also speak fluent Chinese.
The reason why Wang Xuexin was able to recognize them was because he heard the "click-click" sound of MP38 gunfire as soon as the battle started... This was also the submachine gun that Li Yunlong had picked up bullet casings on the battlefield.
From Wang Xuexin's perspective, it is not appropriate for the Japanese special forces to equip the MP38 submachine gun.
The reason is that Chinese pistol bullets are generally 7.63mm, Japanese pistol bullets are generally 8mm, but the German-made MP38 uses 9mm pistol bullets.
It is very important to have bullets universally used on the battlefield. The Japanese knew this very well, so even if they copied the German Luger pistol, they decisively changed the caliber from 9mm to 8mm. This gave rise to the so-called Southern Type 14 pistol, which is also commonly known as
The tortoise box.
Equipping MP38 will cause a very serious problem on the battlefield. For example, if the special agent team is fighting outside, the ammunition is almost used up, and it encounters a friendly force:
"Hey man, do you have any bullets?"
"Yes, there are boxes and boxes of them left there. Take them yourself!"
Then Yamamoto's special agent team rummaged through the ammunition boxes, and they were all filled with 8mm pistol bullets.
"Why don't you have any 9mm pistol ammunition?"
"We are all using 8mm caliber pistols, why are we carrying 9mm pistol ammunition?"
"Then give each of us a rifle. There will always be rifle ammunition..."
"There are rifle ammunition, but where can I find a rifle? Who has his head caught in a door and carries two rifles on his back on the battlefield?"
…
This is the consequence of the incompatibility of ammunition.
This is not a question of whether such bullets are available or whether they can afford to equip them, nor is it a question of whether they have the ability to produce them.
Because no matter what, it is affordable to equip a special agent team with less than a hundred people.
The problem is that after equipped with MP38, it is difficult for the special agent team to replenish the ammunition no matter where they are after leaving the base, so MP38 becomes a fire stick at every turn and becomes a burden.
The Eighth Route Army has suffered enough from inconsistent equipment and inconsistent ammunition. It often happens on the battlefield that there are guns but no ammunition, some ammunition but no guns, or there are guns and ammunition but they do not match, which seriously affects the combat effectiveness.
How could his devil still intentionally jump into this pit?
Investigating the reason, Wang Xuexin believed that this might be because the Japanese's own submachine guns were not useful enough. In order to enhance their street fighting and close combat capabilities, the special agent team had no choice but to choose the MP38.
Later, Wang Xuexin learned that the Japanese were quite cautious in this regard. In addition to MP38s, they were also equipped with 38 caps and machine guns as long-range suppressive firepower. They were not all MP38s like in the TV series. Such equipment went on the battlefield and followed
There is no difference between seeking death, let alone going deep behind enemy lines.
In addition, each submachine gunner is also equipped with a box gun. Once the submachine gun ammunition is used up, it will be replaced by a box gun. At the same time, the ammunition for the box gun is easy to obtain from the enemy. The Manchukuo Army (puppet army) in the friendly forces also has
This kind of bullet.
Wang Xuexin didn't dare to think too much. He immediately ordered: "Qiangzi, light the house on fire immediately. The others follow me!"
Qiangzi responded, picked up the gun and ran into the house.
Although Qiangzi didn't know why he set the house on fire, Qiangzi already respected and admired Wang Xuexin in his heart.
What are those looks like?
It's pitch black and you can see the Japanese!
Moreover, he was sure to force the Japanese out one by one...so what he said was definitely correct.
Qiangzi hesitated for a moment when he ran into the house. There were still many quilts and clothes. If they were all burned, how would they survive the winter?
But as soon as he heard the fierce gunshots outside, Qiangzi didn't care so much. He quickly took out a few burning firewood from the kang stove and threw them into the quilt on the kang, and also threw them on the pile of firewood at the other end.
A few.
The quilt was already roasting on the kang, but as soon as it was ignited, the fire spread immediately.
After doing this, Qiangzi grabbed something and ran out of the house. No matter what, he had to grab something and come out!
I ran out of the house and took a closer look...he actually brought a washbasin!
Qiangzi threw the basin away in anger, grabbed his gun and chased Wang Xuexin and his party.
Then the hadron became strange again.
It stands to reason that if the Japanese are charging toward the village, we should retreat toward the village even if we want to retreat!
There are houses, walls and windows in the village, right? Once you hide inside, you can fight the Japanese. What a good blocking position!
But this little Dongbei led the team to run into the open space without cover... Where did this happen?
Later, Qiangzi realized that his idea was completely wrong.
This group of Japs attacked the houses in the village like crazy... After throwing grenades inside, and after a bang, the two men guarding the door kicked the door with submachine guns and rushed in. "Click, click, click!"
After the sound, one room was occupied, then another, and another... It was as easy as picking up a spoon to eat vegetables.
If they really relied on their houses to fight the Japanese, these dozen of them would have died long ago.
Wang Xuexin certainly knows this.
There is a saying on the battlefield, "SMG plus grenades are worth the money in melee combat!".
This means that in close combat and street fighting, nothing can compare to the combination of submachine guns and grenades, especially since the Japs are a strictly trained special agent team. If you fight them in street fighting or close combat, it is no different than seeking death.
Therefore, Wang Xuexin led the troops into the wilderness uncharacteristically. At the same time, Wang Xuexin also kept a cautious eye and led the troops along the edge of the minefield.
Seeing that the distance was close, Wang Xuexin stopped, turned his gun, and looked back toward the village.
At this time, Qiangzi understood why Wang Xuexin asked him to burn down the house.
The blazing fire was like a torch, clearly illuminating each of the Japanese who rushed up.
Qiangzi chuckled and said, "This house is worth burning down!"
Su Xin, who had been following the team, respected and admired Xiao Dongbei.
In these short few minutes, before she had time to figure out the situation, Xiao Dongbei was already seizing the opportunity one by one to gain a favorable situation.
If it were me, I'm afraid I'd be at a loss already, so I wouldn't have thought of this.
Just as I was thinking about it, the security company came up.
To be precise, this guard company did not come forward, but retreated here as Yamamoto Kazuki estimated...
Most of the guard battalion's troops are deployed on the highlands on both sides of the road at the entrance to Lujiagou Village, leaving only one reinforced company in the village.
Although there were only about seventy people in the Japanese special agent team, the firepower was not something that the security company could withstand.
Company commander Chen Fujun saw that the situation was critical and immediately covered his commander to retreat to the back mountain.
