Hongquan Village is an independent company station, and the village is right next to it, with less than 300 meters between them.
Despite the terrain advantage, people in the village can still have a general view of the camp, and they can clearly see who comes in and out of the camp every day.
At dawn, a group of soldiers rushed out of the station shouting slogans, ran around the village, and began the armed cross-country that they carried out every morning.
"Comrades, don't be anxious, keep the speed!" Li Kaihu, the baggage platoon leader, ran beside the team, shouting at the top of his lungs as he ran.
"Don't think that we don't need to train just because we are in a supply line and rarely participate in battles!"
"Let me tell you, in our Eighth Route Army, any unit may participate in the battle!"
"Even if we don't participate in combat, armed cross-country training is still very important to our logistics!"
"Time is of the essence on the battlefield. Our baggage platoon is responsible for transporting ammunition and supplies to the combat troops, and they must be delivered as quickly as possible! This means that we must adapt to this kind of long-distance cross-country with heavy loads, and we also have to march cross-country in a hurry!"
After two laps of nearly four kilometers around the village, platoon leader Li Kaihu began to pant due to exhaustion.
Not to mention the ordinary soldiers, everyone was panting, and some were even so tired that their faces turned pale, and they looked like they might fall to the ground at any time.
"Everyone, hold on, we ran two laps yesterday, today we will make a breakthrough and run three laps directly!"
"Hold on for three laps. After the morning armed cross-country training is over, we have breakfast. The cooking class prepared white rice porridge, white flour steamed buns, and pickles for everyone this morning. You can eat as much as you want!"
"Bah bang bang... boom boom..."
As soon as he finished speaking, gunshots rang in his ears, and the sound of explosions reached Li Kaihu's ears.
The explosion at close range made him personally feel the hot air waves sweeping towards him.
Because he was caught off guard, he was pushed directly to the ground, where he was beaten and eaten by a dog.
"The enemy is attacking, counterattack immediately..." Li Kaihu suppressed the pain in his body and shouted loudly in shock.
This sneak attack was obviously premeditated.
Before he finished speaking, the gunfire stopped, as if nothing happened here just now.
"Platoon leader, the people who attacked us are in the village!" a squad leader shouted.
"Everyone who can still move, stand up for me, load your bullets, and seal off all entrances and exits of the village. I want to search house by house and find all the enemies who sneak up on us!" Li Kaihu ordered with a stern face.
Then his eyes turned to the location where the grenade exploded just now.
You won’t know until you see it, but you will be shocked when you see it!
While taking a breath of cold air, a look of joy flashed across Li Kaihu's face.
Fortunately, the troops had already run two laps. The originally neat team was stretched to more than twice its original size because the troops were too tired and the soldiers' physical strength was uneven.
As the distance between people increases, the number of soldiers within the grenade's killing range decreases, and casualties are greatly reduced.
Despite this, coupled with the shooting of two pistols, more than ten people fell on the ground. Six soldiers fell to the ground motionless. The bright red blood almost dyed the uniforms red. It was clear at a glance that they would not survive.
Five soldiers were lying on the ground, screaming in agony because they were in too much pain. It was very tragic.
"What's going on? What's going on with the gunshots and explosions just now!" Xiao Yuan, the guard platoon leader, rushed over with his men and shouted from a distance with a frown on his face!
Li Kaihu quickly replied: "We were conducting armed cross-country training and were suddenly attacked. The enemy was in the village and had two pistols!"
"I have ordered the comrades who can still move to blockade the village!"
Xiao Yuan's frown deepened and he immediately ordered: "We have just conducted armed cross-country training. The troops are exhausted and vigilant. They cannot fight at all. The enemy is too cunning to choose this time to attack!"
"The first group went around to the east of the village to block the exit. The others followed me into the village. We must find those sneak attackers!"
"Pa bang bang~"
Several gunshots suddenly rang out in the village, interrupting Xiao Yuan's order.
Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows and shouted: "The enemy must be trying to escape!"
"Don't be stunned, act now, we must find them and avenge the sacrificed soldiers!"
At the independent company headquarters, Li Hao was also alarmed by the sudden gunshots and explosions.
Subconsciously, he hung the armed belt hanging on the wall on his shoulder, grabbed a rifle from the corner, and rushed outside.
The gunshots and explosions were too close to the headquarters, and he had to be on guard.
As soon as he rushed to the door, deputy company commander Hong Linfeng rushed in: "Company commander, the baggage platoon was attacked by unknown enemies during training!"
"The troops were undergoing armed cross-country training and had already run for nearly four kilometers. They were very tired and had poor vigilance. They were caught off guard, resulting in direct casualties of eleven soldiers, including a squad leader who died on the spot!"
"The remaining soldiers from the guard platoon and the baggage platoon have entered the village and are going door to door to check for the attackers. News should come back soon!"
After waiting for less than ten minutes, Xiao Yuan and Li Kaihu rushed over with serious faces.
"Company Commander, it was me who did not ask the troops to strengthen their vigilance during training, and then allowed us to encounter a sneak attack and sacrificed so many soldiers. I request punishment!"
"I don't blame you!" Li Hao shook his head and replied.
"Even if I were there, I wouldn't be able to escape the attack!"
"The enemy is too cunning, and it must have been premeditated. No one could have imagined that they had already gotten under our noses and launched an attack directly under our noses. They were so arrogant that they simply didn't take our independent company seriously!
"
Li Hao's tone of voice obviously became a lot heavier, and his face became heavier.
After taking a deep breath, he replied: "The key now is to find the sneak attackers, kill them, and avenge the sacrificed comrades!"
Xiao Yuan lowered his head and replied: "Company commander, we are late!"
"We killed two of the three attackers and one escaped!"
"By the time we chased after him, the enemy had already disappeared without a trace!"
"Also, I'm worried that there are still attackers in the village. To prevent accidents, the village is still sealed off!"
Li Hao's eyes quickly flashed with murderous intent: "There must be an insider, otherwise these sneak attackers would not be able to lurk under our noses and still be kept in the dark!"
"Check door to door, we must find this spy!"
"This is our independent company's headquarters and headquarters!"
"I can't have a time bomb next to the headquarters that could be detonated at any time!"
"Yes, company commander!" Xiao Yuan replied angrily.
Just when Li Hao couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and thought that the sneak attack just now was just an isolated case.
On the road twenty kilometers away, a row of half a squad of soldiers and more than twenty ordinary people who had just joined the Eighth Route Army, dragging eight large vehicles, marched in a hurry towards Hongquan Village.
After reaching a hilly area, a burst of gunfire broke the tranquility on the road.
There are not many enemies, only five or six people.
The firepower is also very poor, only a rifle and a pistol, not even a machine gun.
Therefore, they did not attack the Eighth Route Army soldiers in the middle of the team, and all the bullets hit those recruits.
The new recruits, who had not experienced any training, panicked and ran around screaming, leaving the soldiers in the middle of the team unable to fight back.
By the time a few soldiers stabilized the chaotic recruits, the gunfire had stopped and only the enemy's retreating figures could be seen.
