"Sir, there is only one Eighth Route Army soldier in the room. Is he dead?" the sergeant rushed out of the room and reported.
"Impossible, there were at least five Eighth Route Army soldiers shooting at us just now...Look for them immediately, even if you dig three feet into the ground, we have to find them!" the second lieutenant squad leader cursed angrily.
Due to the booby trap explosion and the previous exchange of fire, he had killed five of his subordinates and seriously injured three of them, while his opponent, the Independent Battalion, had only died. Such a large casualty ratio is unacceptable to any individual, let alone someone who has always been arrogant and looks down on the Chinese army.
The squad leader is here.
The sergeant did not leave. He hesitated and replied: "They ran away. We found a hole in the wall behind the room, which leads directly to the yard behind!"
"I judge that they must have escaped through the hole in the wall!"
"Nani?" the second lieutenant team leader shouted in disbelief.
Then he pushed aside the sergeant who was blocking him and rushed into the house.
A large hole less than one meter high and half a meter wide appeared on the wall of the room, as if a mouth was taunting him.
The second lieutenant's suppressed anger finally couldn't be suppressed. It was like a powder keg that suddenly exploded, and he cursed loudly.
"Cunning Eighth Route Army, I must find them and cut them all into pieces!"
"What are you still doing? Let's pursue immediately. We must kill the Eighth Route Army who just escaped. The warriors who died in the yard cannot die in vain!"
A squad leader led three soldiers through seven or eight courtyards before stopping.
"Squad leader, the Japanese are not catching up!" a soldier reported excitedly and nervously.
"Chasing?" the monitor replied with a sneer.
"Even if the little devil wanted to chase us, he couldn't catch up. Each of the several yards we passed through just now was guarded by people from our security company, but they were all hiding and didn't come out. The little devil wanted to kill all the way to us.
It’s no less difficult than passing five levels and killing six generals!”
"Without further ado, I'll go find the company commander and get a new mission!"
"Two of our comrades have died. We need to kill a few more little devils and bury them with them in the Palace of Hell. Otherwise, they will not be able to rest in peace!"
Across two more yards is the temporary headquarters of the guard company. Battalion Commander Li Hao and Firepower Company Commander Zhao Wen are all gathered here.
"Hello, battalion commander...Hello, company commander...The first squad successfully completed the mission, killing and wounding seven or eight little Japs in total, but we also lost two people, one was killed by the Japs' heavy machine gun, and the other was blown down by a stone wall.
Beat him to death!" The squad leader rushed over and reported.
Then he stared at Xiao Yuan and asked for battle: "Company Commander, please continue to give us orders. We must also kill the Japanese and avenge our fallen comrades."
"Not bad!" Li Hao replied with satisfaction.
"There are missions, and there are a lot of little devils, but we don't want to kill them now. Take your men and rest in the yard. There will be a mission waiting for you in ten minutes!"
After saying that, Li Hao turned his attention to Zhao Wen.
"Didn't you just complain that all the heavy machine guns in the fire company were blown up, and that the fire company became a fire platoon?"
"Now is the opportunity to get equipment. The little Japs in front of us brought two heavy machine guns. I decided to kill these Japs in the alley ahead, seize the two heavy machine guns, and equip them with your fire company!"
"When the guard company withdraws two more squads, we will prepare pocket formations for the Japanese in the alley ahead!"
"The fire company also joins the battle to attack the Japs head-on!"
"boom……"
The explosion went off again, and a Japanese soldier was blown up into a corpse.
This time, the booby trap was actually placed in the courtyard, not on the roof beams. The soldiers at the front guarded their heads, but ignored their feet.
The second lieutenant at the back didn't know how many booby traps he had encountered today. Along the way, the troops were almost as cautious as they should be, but the booby traps were like dog-skin plasters, sticking around them all the time, making it difficult to guard against them.
The only thing that made him happy was that because he asked his troops to disperse as much as possible and attack forward, the damage caused by the booby traps to everyone was gradually weakening.
Now each exploding booby trap kills an imperial soldier.
"Same as the assault just now, first throw grenades into the courtyard, then the troops will climb over the wall into the courtyard, and then throw grenades into the room from the window to prevent the Eighth Route Army from hiding inside!" The second lieutenant looked at the yard order that was still filled with gunpowder smoke at the door.
road.
Soon, an explosion sounded in the yard.
No gunfire was heard, and a smile quickly appeared on the second lieutenant's solemn face.
In his eyes, this result was either that there was really no Eighth Route Army in the courtyard, or that they had just run away, or that the Eighth Route Army in the courtyard was killed by him in the explosion, which was the same as the result of occupying the two courtyards just now.
Regardless of the outcome, as long as the troops suffered no casualties and successfully occupied a courtyard and continuously reduced the Eighth Route Army's activity space in the village, it would be a victory.
The smile lasted less than five seconds before Chief Cao rushed out with a solemn look on his face.
The lieutenant's heart skipped a beat, and he had a very bad premonition, and the smile on his face was instantly replaced by seriousness.
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army is so cunning. Although there is no one in the yard or room, they have laid at least four booby traps!"
"The warriors were caught off guard and were killed and five injured!"
"We also found a big hole in the back wall of the room, which must have been used by the Eighth Route Army to escape!"
"Bagya Road..."
The second lieutenant's anger at this time could no longer be described in words.
The troops fought all the way here. Although they occupied six yards and killed nearly twenty Eighth Route Army soldiers, their casualties were too high.
They suffered a big loss when they first attacked, then quickly changed their tactics and fought a draw with the Eighth Route Army hiding in the dark, and then in turn made them suffer two big losses.
I originally thought that the attack just now would continue the previous victory, but I didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army also changed its tactics, causing itself to suffer a hidden loss.
With the addition of two heavy machine gun teams and nearly 70 imperial troops, the loss so far has exceeded 40 people, with more than half of the casualties.
Chief Cao promptly reminded: "Sir, we were too careless to detonate the booby traps just now. As long as we strengthen our vigilance, we will definitely be able to minimize the damage caused by the booby traps to us."
"Also, the Eighth Route Army collapsed without a fight and only used grenades to deal with us, which shows that they have no way to crack our new tactics!"
"I am sure, as long as we continue to attack, we will definitely find them and annihilate them all!"
The lieutenant regained his confidence.
Forcibly suppressing his anger, he ordered with a stern face.
"You are right, those warriors who died in battle cannot die in vain, and our attack cannot be abandoned halfway!"
"The troops will continue to attack and advance using the tactics just now! But everyone must be more vigilant and disperse the formation as much as possible to reduce the damage caused by booby traps to us!"
"Hi……"
More than twenty Japs, led by riflemen, followed by light machine guns and heavy machine guns, quickly killed themselves along the alley to the next yard.
Less than thirty meters in front of them, a stone wall blocked the front of the alley, forcing the alley to turn a corner here.
Behind the stone wall, two heavy machine guns were placed on the ground.
Directly in front of the muzzle, a flat shooting hole was taken out. Through the shooting hole, the figure of the Japanese could be clearly seen, with the rifle in his hand, getting closer and closer.
"shooting……"
Li Hao, who was squatting next to him, ordered.
"Da da da……"
Two machine gunners pulled the trigger at the same time.
Thirty bullets from one bullet plate were all fired in just a few seconds.
The flames spurted out from the muzzle, and the bullets wrapped in flames passed through the shooting hole and flew towards the Japanese dozens of meters away like no money.
