Li Youchai's puppet army company led the way, and the Japanese followed two or three hundred meters behind. They had entered the ambush area of the armed workers team;
Chen Erxi gave the order to fire, and two machine guns and more than twenty rifles fired fiercely at the puppet troops, killing more than a dozen people in an instant. The other puppet troops were so frightened that they lay on the snow and fought back randomly.
As soon as the Japanese heard the sound of gunshots, they rushed up screaming. Chen Erxi led the armed workers team to retreat while fighting, trying to draw the Japanese and puppet troops away;
The Japanese and puppet soldiers gave up pursuit after chasing for a while, and continued towards the nameless valley.
The abnormal behavior of the Japanese and puppet troops aroused Chen Erxi's vigilance. It seemed that someone inside knew the way, and it was definitely the puppet troops. He decided to find an opportunity to destroy this group of puppet troops to avoid future troubles.
The armed workers team quickly took a detour and set up an ambush on the only road leading to the nameless valley. As he expected, as soon as he arrived, the puppet troops came over, followed by the Japanese. This road was too familiar!
"Comrades, this time we must bring the puppet troops closer and beat them. We can't show mercy to them. Remember, beat them to death, especially their officers."
Although Li Youchai's puppet army company is called a company, it actually only has eighty or ninety people;
The last round of ambush had killed and injured more than a dozen people, and now there were only about 70 people left;
Chen Erxi's military engineering team only had thirty people, and the difference in strength was still very large, so Chen Erxi wanted to give priority to eliminating their officers.
Li Youchai risked his life in order to perform meritorious service and led the team at the front. Chen Erxi was the first to target him.
After the puppet troops entered the encirclement, Chen Erxi fired the 38 rifle in his hand, and the bullets went straight to Li Youchai...
There was just a "pop" sound, and the bullet hit Li Youchai's shoulder, and also passed through his body. It is true that "good people do not live long, and disasters are left for thousands of years." Lijia Village deserves to have such a disaster;
Chen Erxi's inevitable shot did not kill Li Youchai. The most important thing was that he did not know who was the Japs who knew the way. To be on the safe side, he chose to hit the puppet army officer's body with one shot. , who would have thought it was a penetrating injury!
After Chen Erxi's gunshot, others followed suit and opened fire on the puppet soldiers. This time they were cruel and showed no mercy. Therefore, the puppet soldiers who came face to face suffered heavy casualties, and the others ran back.
The Japs also caught up, and within two or three hundred meters, the armed workers had no time to completely annihilate the puppet army. Seeing that the Japs were coming, they had no choice but to retreat as soon as possible.
After this battle, there were only more than 30 puppet troops left, and they no longer dared to lead the way...
The injured Li Youchai was rescued by the Japanese who came over. Captain Garner also realized the importance of Li Youchai. Once Li Youchai died, they would have to catch him blind.
Garner ordered a few puppet soldiers to carry Li Youchai away. He sent a small team of Japanese soldiers in front to protect the group of puppet soldiers. Li Youchai only needed to guide the stretcher. Although it would be slower, at least he could find the way. Chinese people.
Chen Erxi harassed them again, but unfortunately it had little effect. The Japanese went straight to Wuming Valley. Soon they reached the outskirts of the valley and discovered the position of the militia company. There was no way to escape a fierce battle!
After finding the place where the Chinese people were hiding, Captain Garner screamed excitedly and wanted to rush into the valley to burn, kill and loot.
"Warriors, repel the Tuba Road at the entrance of the valley. The flower girl has great power! Give me the murderous intention!"
The old Ghanaian devils didn't take the militia company seriously at all, they were just a bunch of rubbish!
This was the first time that Li Chennan and his militia company faced the Japanese directly, but he was not nervous at all. Instead, he was a little excited. The children of the old Li family are really perverts.
"Comrades, don't be afraid, just follow our usual training, the Japanese are nothing special!"
"Why are you shaking? Think about who is behind us? It's our father, our mother, our brothers, our mother-in-law, our children! Can we hand them over to the Japanese?"
"Captain Chen and the others will support us outside and let the Japanese know how powerful our Lijia Village men are!"
Encouraged by Li Chennan's unswerving efforts, the militiamen calmed down a lot from their nervousness when facing the Japanese for the first time. They had no escape route. Behind them were their families, and there was no escape route in the valley...
Li Sanyong loaded the machine gun with bullets, aimed the gun at the Japanese and puppet soldiers approaching step by step, and kept muttering:
"These are all beasts, these are all beasts..."
The Japs and puppet troops came into sight. Li Chennan did not give the order to fire. Chen Erxi told him that the first attack must be violent, hurt the Japs, and give the militia company the confidence to fight later. !
The Japanese came a few dozen meters closer and began to charge. This was the moment Li Chennan had been waiting for...
Li Chennan decisively pulled the trigger in his hand, and the gun went off, and the enemy fell. This was the first time he personally killed a Japanese, and he felt nauseated in his throat and almost vomited;
Li Chennan finally suppressed the desire to vomit. He was the company commander, but he couldn't afford to lose this person, nor could he lead this bad guy!
As Li Chennan shot, Li Sanyong's machine gun also fired. He had been targeting the two Japanese for a long time.
"Ta-ta-ta!"
At a distance of less than 70 meters, if he still couldn't sweep away the Japs, his training over the past few months would have been in vain...
The Japs in the crosshairs were hit by several bullets and fell down without any suspense. Captain Chen was right. The Japs were also sons of father and mother, so they would still die even if they were hit by bullets!
Li Sanyong was condescending and fired three consecutive bursts, killing at least three Japs. However, the Japs did not retreat. They continued to rush forward screaming, and some militiamen began to get nervous, and their shots were inaccurate.
At the critical moment, Li Chennan gave the order to drop the bomb and threw a grenade into the group of Japs, blowing up two Japs in an instant...
Other militiamen also followed suit and threw grenades at the Japanese. The benefits of digging trenches before were shown. The militiamen hiding in the trenches were still much more courageous and could be emboldened.
Dozens of grenades flew into the group of Japs. This time the Japs suffered a big loss, and a large area was blown down. At this time, Chen Erxi led the military team to launch an attack from the Japs' flank. The Japs could not withstand it. , retreated in a swarm, leaving more than thirty corpses behind!
However, the militia company only suffered 3 casualties. The advantage of hiding in the trenches was too obvious, and it was difficult for the Japanese to hit them;
Although the militiamen's marksmanship was much worse, they had a lot of grenades, and the Japanese attacked from above. In addition, the old Ghanaian soldiers underestimated the enemy, so they suffered a big loss.
After the first round of confrontation, the militia company's self-confidence was also demonstrated!
Li Chennan took the opportunity to mobilize again:
"Comrades, have you seen that the Japanese are not heavenly soldiers or generals? One bullet will kill them!"
"We are halfway up the mountain, and there are trenches. What are we afraid of? When the Japanese come up, use your guns when they are far away, and when they are close, just use grenades to greet them! The guns assigned to us by Battalion Commander Chu are not much worse than those of the Japanese. We can use them crookedly and throw Bomb canisters and melon grenades, with these good things, we are so afraid of the Japanese!"
Li Sanyong also took over and said:
"The company commander is right. I just killed at least three Japs. If the Japs dare to come up again, I will still be waiting with my machine gun!"
The morale of the militia company rose rapidly, and everyone was gearing up, waiting for the Japanese to attack again.
On the contrary to the high morale of the militia company, the morale of the Japanese army has dropped a lot, especially the puppet army. I didn't expect that these Tubal soldiers have such good weapons. They only have three machine guns. Is this still Tubal army?
Two of the three machine guns were assigned to them by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and the other Czech-style light machine gun came from Li Yaozu's family;
His family has more than a dozen guards and a crooked machine gun. This time, it was handed over to Li Chennan for unified command. Anyway, it was his second young master, so he was easy to use.
"Bagayalu, Li Sang, didn't you say there aren't any guns in Lijia Village?"
The old Ghanaian took it out on Li Youchai after suffering a loss. Now he is a waste and has no use value.
"Taijun, Taijun, calm down, I haven't been back to Lijia Village for a long time, and I don't know."
"Ba! Ba!"
Two crisp slaps sounded, and Li Youchai, who was lying on the stretcher, received two slaps, and his teeth were knocked out!
Li Youchai no longer dared to lie on the stretcher, and endured the pain and got up.
"You have to lead the Imperial Army to charge, otherwise you will die!"
The old Japanese who have suffered a loss are ready to use the puppet troops as cannon fodder...
