Faced with Sun Daping's statement, the monk was not shy and immediately said: "Okay, Captain Sun, the current situation is like this. The Japs have gathered all the people as hostages in the rice field area. It is obvious that the Japs want to use The common people are used as bait to lure our main reinforcements over."
"Fortunately, the one we came over first was only a small force. We only have about 40 people, plus 80 soldiers from your cavalry company."
"Next, we might as well split into two groups."
"You will lead the soldiers of the cavalry company to detour from the left and right wings outside the village. The louder the noise, the better. It is best to attract all the Japanese ambush in Xiaoli Village and the Japanese ambush lurking not far from Xiaoli Village. Attracted."
"I will take the opportunity to lead the soldiers to the rice field area and rescue the villagers."
"No problem. Although our cavalry company has a small number of people, the cavalry is the most precious to our Eighth Route Army. The little devil must also understand this truth and will not just leave our cavalry company alone." Sun Daping said.
The monk shook his head and warned: "Captain Sun, remember, this time we are using light cavalry tactics, fighting and retreating at the same time. I hope that the soldiers of our cavalry company will attract the attention of the Japanese, but not let the soldiers die." .”
"Company Commander Sun, when you lead the attack, control the distance from the Japanese and puppet army positions and try to stay away from the range of the Japanese and puppet troops."
"Once the Japanese and puppet troops attempt to encircle the cavalry company, you should immediately retreat on horseback. You just need to buy some time for our actions. We will move the people out in time."
Sun Daping didn't say anything. He had already expressed his position. He would obey the monk's orders and nodded immediately.
"In this case, let's compare our watches and agree on a time for both parties to take action."
"While the cavalry company's sheep attack attracts the attention of the Japanese and puppet troops, I will lead the soldiers of the guard company to sneak attack on the rice field."
The monk said, lifting the watch on his left hand.
Sun Daping was stunned and scratched his head in embarrassment, "Captain Wei, I don't have a watch!"
Sun Daping said, looking at Second Battalion Commander Sun Chuanzhong as if asking for help.
Sun Chuanzhong's face darkened: "I only have a pocket watch, which is still at the camp headquarters. I didn't bring it with me this time."
The monk smiled and casually glanced at the warrior beside him.
The soldier responded, pulled off his left sleeve, and immediately revealed the watch on his left wrist. He then took off the watch and handed it to Sun Daping.
With a look of joy on his face, Sun Daping quickly took it and put it on his wrist. He said with emotion: "Captain Wei, your first team is still rich!"
The monk smiled and said: "If Captain Sun likes it, after successfully saving the people this time, I will give this watch to Captain Sun."
"Is this true?"
"Of course, it's just a watch. In our independent regiment, although not everyone has one, many cadres have this thing."
"Hey! Just for this watch, Captain Wei, don't worry, our cavalry company will definitely complete its mission!"
Then both parties checked their watches and agreed on a time.
Before leaving, the monk repeatedly explained: "We must fight in the style of light cavalry, retreating while fighting. The soldiers cannot leave their horses for a moment. The main purpose is to attract the attention of the Japanese and puppet troops and avoid confrontation as much as possible."
"Captain Wei, don't worry!" Sun Daping patted his chest and left.
The monk and Sun Chuanzhong, at the same time, led the team towards the rice field with the help of the shelters of the houses along the way.
Duan Peng, who had scouted nearby, also led the team back. The three of them divided into three directions and took a circuitous route to the rice field.
According to the plan agreed between the monk and Sun Chuanzhong and Sun Daping.
The soldiers from the guard company led by the monk arrived at the scheduled combat location in advance, and then waited for news from the cavalry company.
As soon as the battle over the cavalry company started and there was movement, the attention of the Japanese and puppet troops would definitely be attracted.
The monk and Sun Chuanzhong would take the opportunity to lead a sneak attack on the Japanese and puppet garrison left by Da Gu, and then rescue the villagers.
The plan went smoothly. After successfully reaching the vicinity of the rice field, the monk used a telescope to look at it for a while.
More than a hundred villagers were gathered in the rice field by the Japanese and puppet troops. This rice field was usually used by the villagers to thresh rice and wheat. It was relatively spacious. The people and the Japanese and puppet troops gathered here, so it did not seem crowded.
There were about a dozen Japanese soldiers staying near the rice field, plus more than twenty puppet troops.
The rest of the Japanese and puppet troops defended at the entrance of the village and were on guard on all sides.
On the rice field.
The Japs were threatening the people, and the Japs translator shouted from the side:
"Fathers and fellow villagers, don't be afraid. Taijun will not harm you. Taijun just wants to deal with the Eighth Route Army."
"If any of you know the whereabouts of Balu, you might as well tell Taijun. Taijun will be rewarded. If you don't report what you know, Taijun will kill people!"
The threatening words were so serious that the simple people were so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads.
"You're such a stupid little devil. If you have the ability, you'll come after us soldiers. Who do you think you're a hero if you bully the defenseless people?"
In the middle of the rice field, Li Shengmin, the leader of Xiaoli's village soldier team, was tied to a wooden stake. He had obviously been tortured by the Japanese and puppet soldiers. His body was covered in blood, but he cursed very hard.
"idiot--"
The kid holding the riding whip raised the riding whip high again and whipped it hard at Li Shengmin.
To kill the chicken to scare the monkey, the Japanese wanted to use the militia captain Li Shengmin to scare the people.
Li Shengmin took a whip, but the tough guy held on, his eyes red, glaring at the little devil in front of him with hatred, and he continued to curse.
The little devil was also angered and continued to beat Li Shimin hard.
"……team leader!"
Yang Bing, a soldier from the Li family village, looked anxious when he saw his captain being whipped by the Japanese through the telescope borrowed from the monk from a distance.
The monk said solemnly: "Wait a little longer. As soon as the news from Captain Sun comes over, we will take action. We will definitely save Captain Li."
On the rice field.
The Japanese squad leader, Taro Minamura, held a bayonet against Li Shengmin's ear and said coldly to the more than a hundred villagers who had gathered:
"Let me ask you one last time, where is the Eighth Route Army hiding? If you don't answer, I will chop off one of his ears. If you still don't answer, I will chop off his other ear until he All parts of the body were chopped clean."
The Japanese translator shivered when he heard this, and then translated the little Japanese's vicious words.
There was a commotion among the people, who couldn't bear to see Captain Li, who was usually loved by everyone, suffer such torture.
"吆西!"
Nancun enjoyed the fear on the faces of these Chinese people. He slowly pointed the bayonet at Li Shengmin's ear, and was about to stab it down... bang bang bang——
Suddenly gunfire rang out from the direction of the village entrance.
When Taro Namura heard this, his expression was full of surprise.
"Xinxi, it seems that the squadron leader's plan has been successful. The Eighth Route Army has been tricked into the ambush circle."
At this point, he ordered: "Leave the battle at the entrance of the village to the main force. Let's keep an eye on these people here. As long as we have these people in our hands, the main force of the Eighth Route Army will continue to come to die."
"Hi -" the little devils responded in unison.
The sound of fighting came from the direction of the village entrance. Monk, Duan Peng, and Sun Chuanzhong immediately took action with the soldiers.
Duan Peng took the lead and broke the neck of a Japanese sentry directly in a corner.
The movement was so skillful that it was as simple as drinking water and eating. Sun Chuanzhong, who was not far away, couldn't help but shudder.
Then, Duan Peng quickly conveyed the order with hand gestures. Then, the ten-man team he led divided into two groups and went around to both sides of the Japanese and puppet troops, from an angle where they could hit the Japanese and puppet troops.
The monk's side was also quickly deployed.
Several soldiers led by Sun Chuanzhong did not even need his command, and cooperated tacitly with Monk and Duan Peng.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
everything's ready.
The monk quietly raised the M1 Garand rifle in his hand and decisively pulled the trigger.
boom--
This gunshot was not alone. The next moment, there was a loud crackle of gunfire, and bullets were shot from all directions as if they had eyes.
The lurking soldiers each had their own division of labor, and each was responsible for one or two Japanese soldiers. Suddenly, the Japanese and puppet soldiers guarding the people with guns around the rice fields were killed one after another.
The Japanese leader, Taro Namimura, was shot through the heart with the first shot fired by the monk and fell to the ground.
Second Battalion Commander Sun Chuanzhong came to help this time, but he also picked a rifle from the regiment, which was a rare Type 38 rifle captured from the Japanese.
The monk's gunshot fired, and the battle began instantly.
Sun Chuanzhong also raised his gun. His marksmanship was good, and he killed a puppet soldier with one shot from a distance of more than 200 meters.
Then he was still pulling the bolt of the gun, and he only heard the crackling sound of gunfire on both sides of his ears. When he aimed the gun again, he found that there was no longer a Japanese and puppet soldier standing around the rice field.
Stunned!
Sun Chuanzhong was dumbfounded. The speed at which the monk and his party killed the enemy was too astonishing.
Then he sighed, it is indeed a semi-automatic rifle, it does not require the trouble of pulling the bolt, just pull the trigger.
Killing the Japanese is as easy as drinking cold water.
Of course, Sun Chuanzhong knew very well that this relied on more accurate marksmanship, because if you pull the trigger quickly and shoot, you don't have much time to aim.
If the marksmanship is not good, it will be a waste of bullets.
"Save people! One group immediately organized the people to move to the back village, while the other groups stayed in place to stop the Japanese and puppet troops!"
While Sun Chuanzhong was still in a daze, the monk gave the order directly, and the soldiers quickly got out from behind the bunker and rushed in front of the panic-stricken people.
Sun Chuanzhong, who hurriedly followed, was afraid that everyone would misunderstand, and shouted: "Folks, don't be afraid, we are the Eighth Route Army. I am Sun Chuanzhong, commander of the second battalion of the 28th Regiment, and I am here to save everyone."
Yang Bing also explained to the villagers.
With two familiar faces here, the people quickly calmed down.
Duan Peng rushed to the direction of the wooden stake and cut the hemp rope tied to militia captain Li Shengmin, which was almost soaked in blood.
"Comrade, you have suffered...medic!"
Duan Peng shouted behind him, and a soldier immediately ran forward. Duan Peng explained: "Give Captain Li an emergency bandage immediately, then carry Captain Li on his back and move with the people."
"yes!"
However, Li Shengmin struggled and said: "Comrade, let me stay. We are few and need manpower. I just suffered some skin trauma, so it doesn't matter."
Duan Peng glanced at Li Shengmin, and seeing Li Shengmin's firm gaze, he could only nod his head: "He is a tough guy, so give Captain Li a bandage, and give Captain Li a wind-up gun!"
"Thank you!" Li Shengmin replied.
