In a courtyard dozens of meters away, Hong Linfeng could clearly see the village entrance through the shooting hole on the courtyard wall.
"Deputy battalion commander, there are a total of sixteen little Japs, equipped with a crooked handle and a grenade, and the leader is the Japanese captain, the squadron leader!" Zhao Wen, the independent company commander, introduced.
"No need to say anything, kill them!" Hong Linfeng made the decision with his eyes shining.
"Only by killing them and blocking the entrance to the village can we catch all the little devils who enter the village and prevent the little devils outside the village from knowing our situation!"
"The independent company concentrated all its light machine guns to attack the village entrance, and the small artillery squad also acted together. Concentrate its firepower to kill the grenades and light machine guns that posed the greatest threat to us first!"
The grenade launcher is almost silent.
The fired grenade also had no scream as it flew too slowly.
"Boom boom boom..."
It wasn't until three grenades hit the enemy and exploded that the enemy reacted.
"The enemy is attacking, everyone quickly take cover and prepare to counterattack!"
"Boom boom boom..."
The second round of grenades came down and exploded. There were six grenades in total. The blind cat killed the mouse and also blew up the crooked thing.
"Da da da... Comrades, kill me..."
Zhao Wen took the lead and rushed out of the yard with a crooked handle in his arms, holding fire while rushing.
"The enemy is there, fight back immediately!" the sergeant shouted.
The Japanese riflemen opened fire quickly, and the two machine gunners beside Zhao Wen fell in response.
"Come on, deputy shooter, take cover and shoot immediately to kill the remaining Japs!" Zhao Wen shouted as he rushed, firing a string of bullets from the machine gun at the two Japs who had just emerged.
"Da da da……"
At this time, a series of gunshots rang out behind him.
"The heavy machine gun of the fire company has fired... Comrades, rush with me and kill the remaining Japs. Don't let the fire company take all the credit!" Zhao Wen shouted with excitement as if he had been beaten to death.
After the independent company started the assault, the fire company no longer had the need to hide.
Three heavy machine guns were mounted directly on the roof, aiming at the Japanese.
The Japanese squadron leader hiding behind the stone wall was stunned and looked desperate.
The Eighth Route Army actually hid such powerful firepower at the entrance of the village. Instead of dealing with the main force that had entered the village, they stayed here to deal with more than a dozen of their own. Isn't this killing a chicken with a sledgehammer?
He can't understand?
"Sir, there are heavy machine guns on the 8th Route. We are no match at all!" the still-living sergeant shouted with a look of despair.
"More than half of the warriors have been killed or injured, and those who are still alive are being crushed to death. They are all stared at by light and heavy machine guns. If they raise their heads, they will be killed!"
"Retreat, retreat outside the village!" The squadron leader's mind was spinning rapidly, and he seemed to want to understand something, so he ordered immediately.
The deputy captain next to him immediately asked: "What about the troops in the village?"
"With the entrance of the village lost, their way back was cut off, and they were directly blocked in the village by the Eighth Route Army!"
"Haven't you seen that this is a conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army?" The squadron leader finally figured it out and cursed with a look of sudden realization.
"Do you think this is normal for concentrating so many weapons against a dozen of us imperial troops? We were fooled. We were fooled from the moment we entered the village. The Eighth Route Army wanted to annihilate us all in the village. If we didn't withdraw from the village, we would too.
Die here!"
"Excuting an order!"
The last four words were almost yelled by the squadron leader, because his withdrawal would mean that the entire squadron would be blocked in the village, which meant that they would most likely be destroyed.
But besides retreating, he could think of no other way.
The troops are trapped in a trap. At the critical moment of life and death, only one person can survive.
After saying that, he moved and began to retreat outside the village under the protection of the stone wall and two soldiers.
"The Japanese are trying to escape!" Firepower Company Commander Chen Bing, who was guarding Hong Linfeng, shouted.
"They can't run away!" Hong Linfeng replied confidently.
"The Japs were confused by us. They are still protected by stone walls here, so they can give us a fighting chance in street fighting. If we leave the village, there is no hiding place outside. Isn't that just a recipe for death?"
"Company Commander Chen, prepare two heavy machine guns and aim them at the outside of the village. Shoot after the Japanese have completely withdrawn from the village. Kill them quickly and then move!"
"The Japs outside the village have artillery. We already lost two of them just now. We can't lose another one for a few Japs now!"
After the troops entered the village, Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe never put down the telescope he held.
But he could see nothing in the village except the sound of gunfire.
In addition, no news came out in the village, so I could only wait outside the village and worry.
"Sir, someone is coming out!" the adjutant shouted, pointing to the entrance of the village.
Watanabe immediately turned his attention to the entrance of the village.
Five or six soldiers escorted the squadron leader and rushed out of the village like a bereaved dog.
Lieutenant Commander Watanabe's heart skipped a beat, and a very bad premonition came to his mind.
Subconsciously ordered: "Something must have happened in the village, and only they know what happened in the village!"
"Machine gun cover, help them retreat immediately, we must come back alive."
"Da da da……"
Heavy machine gun fire sounded, but it was not from his men.
Two tongues of fire shot out from the village, and like a rain of bullets, several of his subordinates were covered in an instant.
There is a clear view outside the village, and there is not even a hiding place.
Caught off guard, four of the six subordinates fell on the spot.
"Bagaya Road, what are you doing standing still? Shoot back immediately and cover their retreat!" Watanabe Zhongzuo shouted anxiously with his throat raised.
The heavy machine gun squadron opened fire, but it was still a step too late.
At the last moment, the squadron leader and his deputy were beaten into sieves and fell to the ground.
"Sir, there are still gunshots and explosions in the village. The warriors must still be fighting the Eighth Route Army. Do you want to send someone in immediately to respond to them?" the adjutant reminded.
Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe hesitated.
He had suffered too many losses at the hands of the Independence Camp, and his first subconscious reaction was a conspiracy.
He shook his head and replied: "How can we send troops if we don't even know what's going on in the village!"
"What if this is a trap? If we send people to kill it again, we won't just go there without returning and fall into a trap!"
The adjutant was anxious: "What should we do?"
"The Third Squadron attacked with artillery and heavy machine gun cover to seize and occupy the entrance to the village. However, we cannot enter the village rashly. We must confirm that the village is safe before entering!" Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe thought of a compromise.
"There are more than a hundred imperial troops in one squadron. I don't believe that they will all be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army in the village. Someone will definitely rush out!"
"The troops guard the entrance of the village and respond to the soldiers who may rush out!"
"As long as someone rushes out, we can figure out what happened in the village and launch a targeted attack!"
The adjutant immediately complimented: "Sir, you are wise!"
