The ninth and forty-second chapter is in the scheme!
The sudden gunfire illuminated the night, the fast-firing heavy machine guns spit out long tongues of flame, and the chains of fire with the smell of death swept into the puppet troops, and the puppet troops fell one by one like mowing grass.
The power of the heavy machine gun was exerted to its extreme. Faced with the unexpected attack, the puppet troops who were preparing to retreat immediately became confused.
There were mortars in front of them bombarding them across the river. The shells kept falling and rumbling, but the way back was blocked at some point, and the puppet troops panicked.
They themselves are only a battalion of several hundred soldiers, just like a bait, but now they have fallen into the trap of the guerrilla army.
"I will lead the 1st and 2nd companies to break out to the left, Lao Mo, you lead the 3rd company to break out to the right!"
The battalion commander of the puppet army with a beard rolled over from his horse and lay down on the roadside. He saw the chaotic shouts and wailing everywhere, and shouted loudly to the deputy battalion commander.
"What did you say!" The deputy battalion commander's ears were buzzing from the falling shells, and he couldn't hear clearly what the battalion commander said.
The bearded battalion commander leaned into his ear and shouted again: "You lead the third company to break out to the left, I will lead the people to break out from the left, and the three stacks will merge!"
At this moment, there was a wolf in front of him and a tiger behind him. Faced with the rapidly deteriorating situation, the deputy battalion commander agreed without thinking. As for whether he can stand out, it can only depend on luck.
"Breakout! Breakout! Throw the torch to me!"
The puppet battalion commander shouted and rushed into the slippery fields beside the road with a box cannon in his hand, his feet covered in mud.
Holding a torch was a living target, and the puppet soldiers threw the torch one after another. The torch ignited the withered grass on the ground. The cold wind was biting, and the flames quickly jumped up, illuminating a large area of darkness.
Seeing these subordinates who failed to achieve anything but failed, the puppet battalion commander was so angry that he wanted to curse, but the curse was covered up by the explosion of artillery shells.
The puppet troops panicked and began to break out of the encirclement. They broke out in the fields on both sides of the road, with artillery shells hitting their butts.
Walking in the wilderness and fields was no easier than on the road. It was pitch black and from time to time puppet soldiers would slip into the mud ponds and fall into the ditches. They stumbled around in an awkward manner.
But these puppet soldiers didn't know that they had been surrounded. On both sides, there were also infantry companies under the guerrilla corps, and they took up positions, loading bullets one after another, waiting for the puppet soldiers to enter the shooting range.
The puppet soldiers were chased by the shells and rolled and crawled into the dark wilderness. They hated their parents for missing two legs. For them, all they had to do was run out. The guerrillas could not catch them all over the mountains and plains.
"Fire!"
Hearing the chaos of the puppet troops arriving a hundred meters away, the infantry brothers of the ambushing guerrilla corps also pressed their triggers one after another.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Da da da!"
A hail of bullets swept into the group of puppet soldiers stumbling over. The puppet soldier in front fell down covered in blood before he could react.
"There are guerrillas ahead!" A puppet soldier screamed in horror, turned around and ran away in fright.
However, no matter how fast the legs and feet were, they were not as fast as bullets. The whizzing bullets penetrated each body with clearly visible trajectories in the night, and blood spurted out.
In the blink of an eye, corpses of puppet soldiers were lying in the field. The puppet soldiers who were still alive turned around and ran away, no longer fighting.
At this moment, the puppet troops did not know how many officers and soldiers of the guerrilla army surrounded them. Anyway, there were gunshots from all directions, and artillery shells came from different directions, blasting craters with smoke on the ground.
"Come on!"
Soon, overwhelming shouts of killing rang out from the darkness all around, making the remaining puppet soldiers tremble with fear.
The puppet troops who had been blocked back from several directions gathered together again. The deputy battalion commander of the puppet army had a bloody gash on his face from the fragments of the explosion, and there was a lot of blood.
"Battal Commander, do this, we are surrounded!" Faced with the guerrilla officers and soldiers pressing up from all sides, they panicked.
"Build fortifications on the spot and hold on until dawn and we will have reinforcements!"
The bearded battalion commander was a man who was unwilling to surrender. He looked at the puppet troops with less than 200 men under his command and asked them to resist on the spot.
A battalion was scattered and died under a sudden blow. Now there are only so many left in an instant. The puppet battalion commander also wants to cry without tears.
The remaining puppet troops relied on the ditches and fields, and lay down one after another to form a circular defensive position, firing into the surrounding darkness.
The puppet troops underestimated the strength of the officers and soldiers of the guerrilla corps. When they saw the puppet troops resisting, each machine gun group set up their machine guns and fired, followed by grenades and grenades that smashed into the puppet army's defense circle.
Faced with the concentrated coverage of these firepower, the puppet army's defense circle quickly collapsed, and the soul-destroying puppet troops dispersed like a flock of frightened birds.
No matter how hard the puppet battalion commander tried, the troops could not be gathered back. Now they were all focused on escaping for their own lives. Who could care about the commander's orders?
But now there were guerrilla officers and soldiers pressing up all around. No matter how the puppet soldiers rushed left and right, they couldn't get out. Instead, the number of people was getting smaller and smaller, and finally they were compressed on a slope with a radius of less than 300 meters.
"Fight to the death!"
While running back and forth, the puppet battalion commander lost his horse and his hat. He had long lost his previous high spirits and began his final desperate struggle.
"Boom!"
A flash of red light flashed, and the puppet battalion commander was blown to pieces, and the splattered flesh and blood covered the surrounding darkness.
The deputy battalion commander who was about to agree with the puppet battalion commander shivered in fright and hurriedly changed his tune and shouted: "Surrender, we surrender, the Chinese will not fight the Chinese!"
The dozens of puppet soldiers who were compressed and surrounded with guns also reacted, throwing away their guns and shouting. Facing the wolf-like guerrillas, their little pride had been shattered long ago.
.
The wolf-like guerrilla officers and soldiers rushed up from the darkness, and hundreds of dark guns were pointed at the puppet soldiers. The puppet soldiers all squatted down with their heads in their hands, without any thought of resistance.
"Who among you is the supreme commander, stand up and speak!"
Battalion Commander Wu Changqing held a shell gun that was still smoking in his hand. He frowned when he saw dozens of puppet soldiers being disarmed.
This battle was fought too easily, not at all like the strength that the puppet army should have. After all, they had fought against the puppet army during the day, so they hurried over to prepare for interrogation.
The brigade commander of the puppet army brought the most powerful troops with him. What attracted attention was just a group of unworthy troops, and many of them were forcibly recruited.
So when the guerrillas launched an attack, many puppet soldiers were lying on the ground and did not dare to move, waiting for the guerrillas to attack and surrender.
This is also the reason why the puppet army did not mount an effective resistance after being attacked. Most people are unwilling to fight, and there is no need to risk their lives and wealth in order to become a puppet army.
Those who resisted and broke through were all incorporated water bandits and real traitors. Naturally, they did not want to fall into the hands of the guerrillas because they knew the consequences.
"I, I am the deputy battalion commander..."
After Wu Changqing repeated it again and again, the deputy battalion commander of the puppet army stood up tremblingly.
"Where is your brigade commander?!" Wu Changqing was even more confused when he heard that he was just the deputy battalion commander.
"They... they are in the south, and we are the only battalion here..." In order to survive, the deputy battalion commander of the puppet army could not care about anything now.
"What!"
Hearing this, Wu Changqing was shocked. The mood of winning the battle instantly disappeared, and his heart sank to the bottom.
