The sound of a sharp knife piercing flesh was heard, and a fountain of blood spurted out from the cut throat. A guerrilla who was monitoring the other side of the stream was paralyzed and fell to the ground.
In the southern suburbs of Gaoyou City, along this shallow stream, there are many guerrilla surveillance posts. They are all ordered to monitor the movements of the puppet troops. However, there are also elites among the puppet troops. They quietly came over and solved the problem quietly.
The surveillance post in this section.
Several puppet soldiers who had killed the guerrilla surveillance posts quickly gathered together from the darkness like ghosts, nodded to each other, and after confirming that there were no living guerrilla sentries nearby, the leading puppet soldier then faced the stream.
The other side flashed the flashlight twice and sent a signal.
On the other side of this shallow stream, a black mass of puppet troops emerged from the darkness. They quickly jumped into the cold and biting stream, plopping like dumplings.
Although the puppet soldiers' teeth chattered with the cold, in order to avoid exposing their whereabouts and achieve the effect of a surprise attack, they took these inaccessible trails and wilderness and headed straight to the south of the city.
"Quick, quick!"
The puppet army officers were urging in a low voice. Although the stream water was only up to their calves, it still made the puppet soldiers wet. After reaching the shore, they were unable to catch up with the entire team, so they scrambled into a large dark farmland and prepared to cross.
The leading soldiers of the puppet army are all elites. They walk at the front of the team and are responsible for dealing with the guerrilla surveillance posts along the way.
However, the guerrillas usually set up double sentries, that is, a combination of open sentries and hidden sentries. Although the puppet army's vanguard soldiers eliminated the open sentries, the hidden sentries were still hidden in the darkness and were not exposed.
When the large puppet army entered the fields, the guerrillas' secret sentry officers and soldiers hurriedly ran out of their hiding positions and rushed to the assassinated brothers on the clear sentry.
Seeing that the bodies of these brothers had gradually turned cold, they held back the tears in their eyes and took a small path to the guerrilla hiding place in the south of the city.
"What! A large group of puppet troops are rushing toward the south of the city!"
Yang Ling also left an infantry company in the south of the city and laid minefields. They set up ambushes, and their main targets were the Japanese who broke out of the encirclement.
The puppet army and their brothers in the north were already fighting fiercely. They were still betting on how long it would take to kill the puppet army. Now the puppet army emerging from their direction shocked them.
"Damn, where did this grandson come from!"
Company Commander Hua Gou was a little unbelievable. Isn’t the main force of the puppet army in the north? Where did the puppet army that appeared in the south come from?
However, several platoon leaders looked at each other. They had not yet recovered from the shock. The sudden appearance of the enemy made them somewhat at a loss.
"No matter where they come from, they are not malicious. We have to stop them, otherwise we will be passive when they enter the city..." The deputy company commander finally came to his senses and grasped the key point of the problem.
"Have you seen clearly how many puppet troops there are?" Hua Gou calmed down a little and asked the brothers who came back to report the news.
"It's a huge area of darkness, with at least five or six hundred people in it."
Hearing what the surveillance post said, everyone took a breath. They only had one infantry company with more than a hundred people. It was really difficult to block so many puppet troops.
Besides, they still have to deal with the inside of the city. If the Japanese in the city come out while they are fighting the puppet army, they will be attacked from both sides.
"Company commander, what should we do?" The platoon commanders all lost their attention and turned their attention to the company commander Hua Gou.
Hua Gou also had an uncertain look on his face. If they fought, their entire company would probably be wiped out. But if they didn't fight, once these puppet troops broke into the city and rescued the Japanese, all the previous efforts would be in vain.
"No matter what, we have to keep this puppet army out of the city! We can't let them enter the city!" Although Hua Gou knew the danger, he quickly made a decision.
Hua Gou's stern face was full of seriousness. He glanced around the crowd and said in a cold voice: "If anyone has a different opinion, tell me now. If anyone turns out to be a coward later, don't blame me for my lack of bullets!"
"Company Commander, we listen to you! The worst we can do is get a scar the size of a bowl on your head!"
Several infantry platoon commanders and platoon commanders temporarily transferred from the machine gun company thought for a few seconds, then patted their chests and agreed to fight.
"A row of guards are standing guard in the direction of the city gate. Once the Japanese want to go out, they must push me back!"
"Second platoon, third platoon, and machine gun platoon are all following me to stop the puppet troops! Try to push them into the minefield!"
"Send someone to report the situation to Chief Yang immediately and ask them to send reinforcements!"
…
HuaGou quickly recovered from the initial shock and issued the order in an orderly manner.
The guerrilla officers and soldiers of a strengthened company quickly took action, hurried to their respective positions, and quickly built a thin defensive front, preparing to block the puppet troops.
The puppet troops were worried about being exposed, so they walked through muddy and slippery fields. When the guerrilla officers and soldiers were ready for battle, they were still almost a mile away from the blocking position.
While Huagou and the others were establishing a blocking position, the remaining fifty members of the Japanese Skeleton Special Forces, led by their commander Makino Kanan, quietly left the city.
Makino Kanan and the others were all elites, and they also discovered the movements of Hua Gou and the others, but they did not want to cause trouble, so they planned to go around.
But they didn't know that the reason why Huagou and the others didn't set up a blocking position on the other side was because there was a minefield laid out there.
Makino Kanan and the others accidentally broke into the minefield, and the leading soldiers of the puppet army also discovered that there were guerrilla activities ahead, and quickly reported back.
The puppet brigade commander was sure that they had not alerted the guerrillas, so he immediately decided to change the route and pass through Huagou's minefield. Of course, if he knew that there was a minefield, the puppet brigade commander would not go there even if he was killed.
.
By various coincidences, the thin blocking line set up by Hua Gou and others became a decoration, because the Skeleton Special Forces and the puppet troops all headed towards the minefield.
"Why haven't you come here yet?"
Huagou and the others nervously set up the light and heavy machine guns. After waiting for a long time, no puppet soldiers appeared. Huagou even suspected that the surveillance post had lied about the military situation.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a dazzling explosion of flames rose from the direction of the minefield on the left wing, and several unlucky puppet soldiers were blown over by the planted infantry mines.
The landmines buried at the front are all compression-type landmines, which explode when stepped on, while many of the landmines sold at the back are pull-type landmines. This explosion scares the guerrilla brothers who are ambushing in the dark and preparing to pull the mines.
Suddenly, someone came over and they didn't notice it yet.
"Bang bang bang..."
Before the smoke from the explosion dispersed, the frightened puppet troops opened fire one after another, and the bullets swept out along the line of fire.
Coincidentally, the Skeleton Special Forces led by Makino Kanan also happened to be opposite the puppet troops, and the two sides were almost face to face across the minefield.
The sudden explosion also startled the members of the Japanese Skeleton Special Forces who were preparing to leave Gaoyou quietly, and the bullets immediately swept over them.
They thought they had been exposed, and immediately raised their guns to fight back. Under the astonished eyes of the guerrilla officers and soldiers in the dark, the puppet troops and the Japanese skeleton special forces started fighting for no reason.
"Baga! Rush over!"
Now that we are exposed and encounter a blocking line, we must break through forcefully. This is the idea of Japanese commander Makino Kanan.
"Brothers, break into Gaoyou! Charge!" the puppet brigade commander also shouted, and both sides stepped into the minefield and began to charge head-on, raining bullets like locusts.
"What's going on?" The guerrilla officers and soldiers in the dark were all confused, and they looked at each other for a moment not knowing what to do.
"It seems like the puppet troops are coming from the south and the Japanese are coming from the north." Soon some brothers with sharp eyes were able to distinguish the two warring parties.
