The first thousand two hundred and fifty-seven chapters were caught off guard
Under the dim moonlight, a group of about two hundred bandits with guns were scattered and hidden in a forest, preparing to ambush the officers and soldiers of the guerrilla corps returning from Heifengkou to assist Xiaoqingshan.
The bandits had well-planned plans, but wise men always make mistakes. They underestimated the investigative capabilities of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps.
Although the bandit leader who was hiding in the woods and preparing for an ambush tried his best to restrain his subordinates to keep quiet, the bandits were accustomed to being unorganized and some still ignored orders and whispered to each other. As a result, brothers from the reconnaissance squad of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps discovered the movement in the woods.
Now the first battalion of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps has been through a series of fierce battles, and only about 200 brothers are left after all. Although they have been sleeping in the open for half a month and fighting fiercely with the Japanese, their uniforms are in tatters and become strips of cloth, and they look exhausted.
But after receiving the order to attack, they became more ferocious and their combat effectiveness was not reduced at all.
The two bandits who were standing behind the woods and watching the wind did not expect that someone would come up from behind them, so they were not very vigilant. The two of them leaned against the tree trunks leeward, lowering their voices and whispering about what to do this time.
After seizing it and dividing it up, we went out to visit the kilns.
A cold wind blew through the mountains, and the sound of salsa came from the dark forest. The two bandits felt a chill on their backs, and they couldn't help but stop talking.
"Did you hear anything?"
A bandit looked at the darkness with the dancing shadows of the trees and felt a little scared.
"There is only the sound of blowing wind." Another bandit looked around for a few times, but found nothing.
Bandits like them live in the mountains and have heard a lot about mountain spirits and ghosts. Now in this strange mountain late at night, they always feel uneasy.
"But why do I feel like something is staring at us?" The bandit said a little suspiciously when he noticed something was wrong.
"Don't scare yourself, there are no wild beasts in this mountain..."
Although the other bandit said this, he was looking around in a guilty manner.
But it doesn't matter if you don't look at it. When you look at it, you are startled. Suddenly, you see a dark figure standing behind another bandit.
"You...your back..."
The bandit's face was full of horror. He thought he had encountered a mountain spirit and a ghost. He was so nervous that he stuttered a bit when he spoke.
The bandit who was reminded subconsciously turned around to look, only to see a sharp blade cutting into his neck. Soon a blood line visible to the naked eye continued to crack and expand, and a stream of warm blood spurted out.
.
Another bandit saw his companion being killed by this sudden black shadow. He was so frightened that he peed his pants and tried to pull the gun's bolt with trembling hands.
But as soon as the bandit's hand touched the gun bolt, a big hand had already wrapped around his mouth. His face was full of horror, and he wanted to scream, but he could only make a whining sound, and soon his throat was slit.
Suddenly, his head tilted and he fell to the ground.
A group of guerrilla officers and soldiers with guns emerged from the darkness like ghosts, making no sound.
The battalion commander, Blacksmith, glanced at the dim woods ahead and made an offensive gesture to the brothers of the guerrilla army. The brothers immediately dispersed and surrounded the bandits in the woods.
More than two hundred officers and soldiers of the guerrilla army leaped quickly through the woods, and soon came within two hundred meters of the bandits.
"There's someone behind us!"
The bandits were waiting for someone who was not waiting to ambush them. They looked around boredly. When they saw the figures behind the dark woods, they immediately screamed, breaking the silence here.
"Bang bang bang..."
The officers and soldiers of the guerrilla corps were all veterans of many battles. Seeing that they were exposed, they immediately launched an attack on the bandits without the need for orders from their superiors.
A row of scorching bullets dragged their shining tails and poured towards the bandits, causing blood mist to fill the sky.
The bandits wanted to ambush the officers and soldiers of the guerrilla corps who were returning from Heifengkou to aid Xiaoqingshan, so they were all facing the path. Suddenly they were attacked from behind, which caught them off guard.
The gun muzzle spurted out tongues of fire, locust-like bullets swept into the darkness, and the bandits screamed and howled.
The officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps relied on the cover of tree trunks to continuously leap forward and shoot. The panicked bandits were suddenly beaten so hard that they could not lift their heads. They could only feel the bullets flying around. They had never felt that death was so far away from them.
Very close.
The bandits were shouting and trying to stabilize their position, but the bandits were in a mess and were being beaten so that they could not hold their ground.
The leader was livid with anger, but bullets and screams were everywhere in the darkness, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable.
"It's the brother on the hilltop opposite, don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong!"
The bandits hadn't figured out the situation yet, and some of the bandits who were beaten to the point of being unable to move thought they had met bandits from other villages, causing a misunderstanding.
The officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps rushed in and fired silently, turning a deaf ear to the bandits' shouts. As the machine guns sprayed out strings of dark red bullets, the gunfire became more intensive and intense.
"Grenade blow me up!"
Seeing that some of the bandits were trying to fight back, the battalion commander Blacksmith gave a loud order.
Strings of grenades were thrown in the direction of the bandits. The obstruction of the tree trunks caused many grenades to explode in the air, forming clouds of invisible thick smoke. Fragments flew everywhere, causing the bandits to howl in agony.
Soon the woods were filled with gunpowder smoke and screams could not be heard. The bandits who had been blown to pieces could no longer hold on and fled one after another. There were many who crawled into the woods and into the ravine.
The brothers of the first battalion led by the blacksmith rushed and shot, defeating the bandits who were ambushing in the woods. In less than ten minutes, more than 200 bandits were completely defeated.
Until these bandits were defeated, they were still in the dark and did not know who their opponents were. Several bandit leaders who had escaped with their lives even went straight to Xiaoqingshan with anger on their faces to question Wang Laohu, the leader of Hutou Village.
, thinking that Wang Laohu took the opportunity to weaken them, so he sent someone to plot against them.
It was dark and the road was slippery. After the blacksmiths and the others defeated the bandits who were hiding in the woods and eliminated the threat, they did not pursue excessively. After all, it was night in the deep mountains and forests, so the pursuit was really laborious.
Blacksmith and the others quickly ended the battle, leaving only one platoon of troops to sweep the battlefield and hunt for the lone bandits. The rest quickly passed through and headed straight for Xiaoqingshan.
At this moment, gunfire was also fierce in Xiaoqingshan. Nearly two thousand bandits, led by Wang Laohu, the leader of Hutou Village, launched an attack on the new headquarters of the North Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps in Xiaoqingshan.
Although the bandits came with great force, Zhang Liechen and others took precautions in advance. As soon as the bandits came, the common people hid in the dark mountains.
Zhang Liechen and the others relied on the original Black Wolf Village to hold on, waiting for Wang Dongming, the deputy battalion commander of Heifengkou, to lead his men to return for reinforcements.
"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"
Although the bandits were outnumbered, it was still a joint operation of many villages. They were all rushing forward in a chaotic manner, trying to rush in to grab food and silver coins.
Although Zhang Liechen and the others only had one combat platoon and a temporarily formed capital militia company, relying on the support of several solid firepower points, they were able to defeat the bandits who came up and beat them to pieces.
