In the village, Zhang Xuan had just finished digging the fourth shooting hole in the earth wall when he saw more than thirty cavalry rushing towards the village.
The speed was very fast. He stopped when he was more than a hundred meters away from the village entrance, picked up his horse rifle and opened fire into the village.
"Don't move... This is the enemy's fire reconnaissance... No one can shoot in advance without my order!" Zhang Xuan ordered in a low voice.
At the same time, I prayed in my heart, hoping that the Japanese cavalry team would enter the village after completing the fire reconnaissance...
Outside the village, the captain of the Japanese cavalry team was facing a dilemma.
The three commanders under his command also had their own ideas, and they all wanted to persuade the squad leader to listen to them.
"Captain... There was no movement in the village during the fire reconnaissance, but it proved that there were enemies in the village... We have too few troops and the enemy's strength is unknown. For safety reasons, it is best to wait until the main force arrives before entering the village..." A Cao leader suggested !
"Baga... You are acting cowardly... Don't forget that we are the best cavalry unit of the Imperial Japanese Army... A village hiding an enemy will scare you to the point of being unable to move... It's so embarrassing!" A chief Cao opened his mouth and began to curse.
"Sir, we are cavalry... we come and go like the wind, even if there are enemies in the village, we are not afraid!"
"If the enemy does not have many troops... we will destroy them directly..."
"If there are too many enemies, we won't be able to stop them even if we want to retreat..."
"In this humble position, I am willing to be the vanguard...the first one to enter the village. Please give the captain the order!"
The third Chief Cao immediately nodded: "I agree to enter the village!"
"The mission given to us by the squadron leader is to detect the enemy's situation..."
"We don't even know how many enemies there are and how many machine guns they are equipped with... If the squadron leader finds out, the entire team will become the laughing stock of everyone!"
"The troops stepped up their vigilance and quickly entered the village..."
"The enemy won't even have a chance to destroy us!"
After a quarrel, in order to keep his position, the squad leader finally made a decision: "Enter the village...the troops formed an offensive formation and entered the village..."
"You have to be fast, and pull back after you have found out the enemy's strength and firepower. No one can be reluctant to fight..."
"Rumble..."
More than thirty cavalrymen quickly started moving. The sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, and the speed became faster and faster...
A smile quickly flashed across Zhang Xuan's serious face, and he clenched his fists and said: "God help me too... This is the fat meat brought to our mouths, we must eat it all... Comrades, no one can let them escape. , you must make dumplings for me..."
"In order to confuse the Japanese rapid response brigade, for a while everyone can only use rifles and pistols to kill enemies, not submachine guns, machine guns, grenades... prepare for battle..."
"Wait until all the enemies enter the village before shooting...Hit as many people as possible to save the horses..."
After Zhang Xuan finished speaking, he put the submachine gun on his back and picked up a Sanba Gai he had just received at the Pingyang stronghold...
Pull the bolt of the gun, hold the butt of the gun with your shoulder, and aim through the crosshairs at the Japanese cavalry who have reached the entrance of the village.
After a while, the dull sound of horse hooves sounded in my ears.
The cavalry at the forefront had already reached the street next to the courtyard.
Zhang Xuan also put the leader of the Japanese team into the crosshairs...
When all thirty or so Japs have reached the middle of the village and the assault speed begins to slow down, pull the trigger after a while.
A gunshot of "Bang..." suddenly came from the barrel of the gun, and then quickly spread throughout the village...
The Japanese team leader fell to the ground at the sound, and the horse that lost its owner ran forward for more than ten meters before stopping. Other soldiers joined the battle one after another. They were hiding in the yards on both sides of the road. They were very close to the Japanese, and the furthest distance was only more than 20 meters...
The Secret Service Company is another veteran who follows Kong Jie. He has been trained by Kong Jie as a special force team. Each veteran has fired a large amount of live ammunition. Not only is his individual combat effectiveness very powerful, but his marksmanship is also very good...
At a shooting distance of less than twenty meters, you can hit the target with your eyes closed.
After a burst of "crackling..." gunfire, at least twenty horses in the cavalry team lost their owners.
The remaining ten or so Japs panicked and immediately turned their horses around, trying to evacuate the village...
But the secret agent company pulled the trigger faster than them, and soon the second round of gunshots sounded around them...
"Rumble..."
A series of violent explosions sounded on the road outside the village at the same time, and thick smoke billowed. The four troop carriers that collided were instantly overturned and exploded into a pile of parts, scattered everywhere.
A car that weighs several kilograms is difficult to move, so it becomes much easier to blow it into parts...
Five minutes after the explosion, the path forward of the rapid response brigade was cleared by engineers, and the majestic convoy rushed to South Korea Village.
"Are there any enemies in the village?" the captain asked when he saw the hurried cavalry squadron leader.
"There is the Eighth Route Army..." the cavalry squadron leader reported anxiously.
"But we haven't figured out their strength and firepower yet... The cavalry team sent by the humble staff to investigate has also disappeared... I suspect something happened to them in the village?"
"Nani..." The captain frowned, jumped out of the passenger seat of the car, and asked with a stern face: "You said that all the thirty cavalrymen in the cavalry squadron disappeared... not even the soldiers came back to ask for help!"
"Ha Yi!" the squadron leader lowered his head and replied.
The captain frowned deeper and shook his head to analyze: "This shouldn't be... The cavalry's mobility is better than the rapid response brigade... Even if it is attacked, it can quickly evacuate the battlefield... How is it possible that no one came back..."
"Could it be that there are heavy Eighth Route Army soldiers ambushed in the village ahead..."
"Order...the mountain artillery squadron, the mortar squadron...all to aim at the village, and fire in five minutes. I will level the village in front..."
"The First Squadron is ready for an assault... and will launch an attack as soon as the bombardment stops. The village must be captured in one attack, and reinforcements to Shunping County are urgently needed..."
Come and try it quickly. 】
This is the usual style of play of the quick-reaction brigade. They can fight against them wherever they go and are unfavorable.
The village is located on a plain and there is no danger to defend. The houses and courtyards are the Eighth Route Army's biggest support.
As long as the village is razed to the ground, the Eighth Route Army defending the village will have no fortifications to use. Whether it continues to defend or takes the opportunity to break out, it will not be able to escape the pursuit of the rapid reaction brigade...
"Boom boom boom..."
More than a dozen mountain cannons and mortars roared quickly, and various shells smashed into the village as if they were free, knocking off the roofs one after another, and destroying the walls one after another...
After a while, the South Korean village became filled with smoke and thick smoke...
Zhang Xuan was also shocked by the explosion. He didn't expect the Japanese to attack so harshly. The war started with unprecedented artillery fire, and they didn't even carry out the most basic probing attack. It was really unexpected.
Holding my head and hiding in a corner of a wall that had just been blown down, I felt very depressed as I listened to the constant explosions all around me...
Street fighting was the only way he could think of to break the situation.
And street fighting is inseparable from the houses and courtyards in the village. If they are razed to the ground by the Japanese, the secret service company will be completely exposed to the firepower of the opponent in the next battle...
No matter how powerful the secret service company is, it is still made of flesh and blood, and it is equally vulnerable to steel cannonballs and bullets...
When the time comes, the two platoons I brought with me will not be able to stop the Japanese offensive in the first round, let alone hold on until the main force of the battalion comes over...
On the road five kilometers due west of South Korea Village, three troop carriers were moving forward quickly, kicking up a lot of dust...
Huang Yu was sitting in the co-pilot of the first troop carrier. Hearing the rumble of artillery coming from South Korea Village, he felt very anxious. He kept urging the driver to speed up. He was speeding up...
He received bad news more than an hour ago that the Japanese army in Baoding sent a rapid response brigade to reinforce Junping.
The first reaction was the same as Kong Jie's, feeling that he had underestimated the Japanese army's determination to eliminate the Duer Regiment. Then the whole person is replaced by worry!
The enemy's quick response team has strong soldiers and cavalry, which can attack when advancing, defend when retreating, and can also hunt down opponents!
The secret agent company that set out first was in need of artillery and terrain. The huge disparity in strength meant that they would be under unprecedented pressure.
If there is no obstruction, with the speed of the rapid reaction brigade, they can advance into Junping in more than an hour, and then use the reinforced squadron as a unit to attack the main companies of the Duer Regiment scattered in various places. The troops will not be able to withdraw in time...
When the time comes, the victory that the Duer Group finally won will turn into a defeat...
In order to withstand the Japanese reinforcements and buy time for the main force of the battalion to reach the battlefield, Huang Yu made a prompt decision and led the special forces to set off first with all the mortars and infantry artillery. The main force of the battalion followed later, hoping to save the crisis!
