Seeing the company commander of the Imperial Association Army and several platoon commanders walking towards him, the three little devils in the company who were supervising the battle seemed to notice something strange. They subconsciously touched the rifles and pistols they were equipped with, and then asked with a vigilant look on their faces.
"Taijun, don't get me wrong!" The company commander immediately showed a very flattering expression.
"Hearing the sound of gunfire, the Eighth Route Army seemed to have entered the village. Several brothers in the company were a little anxious, fearing that the captain could not stop them. They came over to ask me if I wanted to send troops to reinforce the captain. I didn't dare to make decisions without authorization, so I took them to find him.
Taijun, let Taijun make the decision!"
They also heard the gunshots in the village. As Japanese, they were even more worried about the safety of the captain.
Therefore, Captain Wang's words directly spoke to their hearts.
Coupled with the familiar flattering smile on the other party's face, the three Japs' vigilance quickly disappeared.
The leader of the Japanese Army, Captain Cao, immediately replied: "Yo Xi! Now that we are here, let's discuss it together and see if we should divide our troops to reinforce the captain!"
A company commander and three platoon commanders walked up to three Japanese soldiers without any warning.
When the Japanese commander Cao continued to speak, the company commander decisively took out the loaded cannon and fired at them.
Another box gun in the company was in the hands of the platoon commander, and the speed was not slow. The moment the company commander fired, he also pulled the trigger.
After a series of intensive gunshots, all three Japs fell to the ground. Each of them had several bullet holes in their bodies, staring with a pair of big eyes full of shock, refusing to rest in silence.
"We have killed the three Japs. Go back and bring your men with you immediately to prepare for a breakout!"
"Also bring all the ammunition that the Japanese just sent us."
"If we are to fall into a trap in the future, these weapons and ammunition are the capital of our strength. Not a single bullet can be left behind."
The independent battalion security company was ambushing east of the village, and company commander Sun Jiawu was very anxious.
The increasingly fierce gunfire in the village made him realize that the main attack force had entered the village, and the battle might be over soon.
If the Japanese and puppet troops have not yet fought their way out of the fence in front of them, by the time the battle is over, the guard company will not be able to gain any military exploits.
"Pa bang bang..."
At this time, the sound of gunshots was heard as the puppet company commander killed three Japanese soldiers.
The soldier's intuition made Sun Jiawu realize that this series of gunshots was certainly not simple.
Although the main attacking force has entered the village, it is still one or two hundred meters away, which means that the gunfire was not caused by the battle between the Japanese and puppet troops and the main attacking force.
Then there are only two possibilities left: civil unrest among the Japanese and puppet troops guarding behind Tuweizi, or the pistol misfired.
The probability of the latter possibility happening is too low, so the only possibility left is the former one: civil strife among the Japanese and puppet troops.
His eyes lit up and he ordered: "Everyone, get ready for battle, there will definitely be Japanese and puppet troops breaking out in front of us soon!"
"Company commander, there is movement on the fence!" As soon as the order was given, the instructor Gong Wenshan called out.
Raising the telescope, Sun Jiawu saw many figures climbing over the fence.
"It's the puppet army. They want to break out from us." Sun Jiawu judged with excitement on his face.
"Wait until all the puppet troops have passed through Tuweizi and break out in front of us, then we will shoot them, catch them all, and try to capture them as much as possible."
More than ninety puppet troops, carrying rifles, machine guns, and ammunition boxes, lined up in two columns and rushed over quickly.
The company commander and several platoon commanders walked in the middle of the team, constantly urging the troops to speed up their march!
Sun Jiawu quickly focused his attention on these officers, and then began to issue combat orders: "Instructor, gather all the machine guns in the company to attack the puppet army officers in the middle of the team!" Sun Jiawu ordered in a deep voice.
"The puppet troops near the officers must be their henchmen, security forces, and hardcore traitors. They will not surrender easily. And even if they surrender, they cannot be converted into our own people. It is best to kill them directly."
"It can not only discourage other Japanese and puppet troops from resisting and force them to surrender, but also save us a lot of trouble in managing prisoners, and even save a lot of food!"
Seeing that Litian Village was getting farther and farther away from him and that no Japanese were coming out of the village, the tense nerves of the puppet company commander immediately relaxed.
Gao Gao ordered: "The Japanese have not noticed that we have evacuated, so we must speed up. We must go further before the Japanese discover us, so that everyone can survive!"
The three platoon leaders also became relaxed, thinking that their troops had escaped.
"Da da da……"
The sudden sound of gunfire brought them back to reality.
Their expressions changed suddenly, and before they could react from the shock, the bullets flying from the left had drilled several bloody holes in their bodies, and then they fell heavily to the ground.
The company commander, three platoon commanders, and a dozen of his confidants were all fired by a total of seven crooked guns. Not one of them was spared. They all fell to the ground, dying.
By the time the remaining puppet troops reacted and wanted to fight back and escape, more than a hundred people from the guard company had already rushed towards them from all directions!
"Comrades, rush!"
"If you surrender your gun and don't kill, the Eighth Route Army will give preferential treatment to the prisoners!"
"You have been surrounded and cannot run away. Surrender immediately..."
The chief was dead, and so were a dozen of his most trusted confidants. The remaining dozens of unorganized Luo Luo barely resisted, and simply laid down their weapons and became prisoners.
The independent battalion's main attack position south of Litian Village saw three companies easily entering the village. Everyone except Li Hao had a smile on their face.
Hong Linfeng was the most exaggerated, shouting happily: "We have won... Battalion Commander, we have won this battle!"
"Don't be too happy yet!" Li Hao suddenly interrupted.
"If I'm not wrong, the real battle has just begun!"
"There are hundreds of Japanese and puppet troops in the village. If we rely on the houses in the village to fight in the streets and fight to the death, just those mysterious sneak attacks will cause us a lot of casualties!"
Hong Linfeng and Peng Yunfeng showed expressions of disbelief.
In their understanding, as long as the enemy's position is breached, the battle is almost over, and the next thing everyone needs to do is beat up the drowned dog.
But they soon realized that they had thought things too simply.
The sound of gunfire did not spread to the entire village as quickly as everyone expected, but continued to surround a fifty-meter radius near the village entrance in the south.
It has been more than ten minutes since the troops entered the city and they have not yet broken through this area. How strange!
Suddenly, more than a dozen people rushed out from the entrance of the village to attract attention. They also carried a stretcher in their hands and rushed towards here in a hurry.
"Battal Commander, Captain Li is injured!"
"It's Battalion Commander Peng who belongs to you!" Li Hao said with a frown as a very bad premonition flashed through his mind.
After the stretcher was carried in front of everyone, several people, including Li Hao, took a deep breath.
Captain Li's face was covered with blood and there were several wounds on his body. The blood that kept pouring out had dyed his uniform red.
With so many wounds and so much blood shed, unless something unexpected happens, Captain Li will definitely die.
At this time, Li Hao didn't care about any orders beyond his authority. He gave the order directly without waiting for Peng Yunfeng to speak: "Immediately carry it down to bandage the wound, stop the bleeding, perform emergency treatment, and then send it to Hongquan Village for rescue!"
"Leave a few people behind and tell us what happened in the village and how Captain Li was injured. This was obviously caused by a grenade exploding at close range!"
The guard squad leader of the first company quickly reported: "Batalion Commander, the Japanese and puppet troops are too cunning!"
"They hid in the house, and when we got close, they would use machine guns and blast them with grenades! The troops suffered heavy casualties, and a large number of comrades were lost every step forward!"
Li Hao frowned and asked, "How did you attack?"
"Attack along the road inside the village!" the guard squad leader blurted out without thinking.
Li Hao showed a look of realization on his face, and then shouted: "This is not how street fighting works!"
"I ordered all troops to stop attacking. The company commander comes back and forth to me. The deputy company commander who does not have the company commander comes over. The speed must be fast. We must change the way we attack!"
