There was nothing wrong with the Japs' tactics. After a small group of Japs detoured back to the village, they cut off the whole village's retreat into the mountains. The main force then entered the village and killed all the villagers in one fell swoop. This was a tactic commonly used by the Japs during raids and had proven successful time and time again.
Captain Sekiguchi estimated that the Nakamura team had already rounded back to its position. With a wave of his white-gloved hand, a small team of Japs entered the village in battle formation from the front of the village entrance. He himself took command on the slope outside the village.
The Japs were very cunning. Only some of them walked on the main road at the entrance of the village, while others surrounded them from both sides, just like hunting. No wonder Guanguan said that this was a hunting operation. It was quite vivid, but he didn't know who was the hunter and who was the prey.
"boom!"
"boom!"
As soon as Sekikou heard the explosion, he immediately held up his binoculars to look, and found that there were again nasty landmines. They were really everywhere.
"Bagaya Road, the conscience of the people in Wangcun has been greatly damaged! Pass the order, and the military discipline will be lifted after entering the village."
Guankou said it seriously, and acted like they had military discipline.
The signal soldier used a semaphore to pass the order to the attacking Koizumi team. Sekiguchi was already furious!
Although the two mines only knocked down three Japs, killing one and injuring two, it was not a big loss to the Japs, but it also made the Japs more cautious in their attacks.
The scary thing about landmines is the uncertainty. No one knows whether they will step on them in the next second, which is very demoralizing.
Second Lieutenant Koizumi held a tortoise box in one hand and a standard saber in the other and carefully walked into the village. The mines were quite annoying, but they couldn't stop him from entering the village to have a carnival.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Someone else stepped on several landmines in succession. They were landmines made by villagers using clay pots and black gunpowder. Some broken porcelain or small iron pieces were added to them. In order to increase the lethality, the porcelain pieces were soaked in gold soup. .
Of course, many people will not die after being blown up, but Jintang has no solution to wound infection. It not only dragged down the Japanese during the war, consumed a lot of medicine for them, but also let them die from wound infection in the end. It is really cruel!
"Bagaya Road! Return to the main road!"
After being bombed several times in the open space on both sides, the Japanese lifted up a few wounded people and returned to the main road. Although there may be mines buried on the main road, it is convenient for mine detection and demining.
After the Imp team shrunk to the main road, they sent out the few engineers to start clearing mines;
I saw them holding mine detectors on the main road covered with weeds. They were less than 100 meters away from the village, but they were blocked by several landmines. How could they not let Second Lieutenant Koizumi Getting angry.
"Bagaya Road, Tubal Road is not a samurai's job!"
Little did Koizumi know that their every move was under the watchful eyes of the armed workers team. The deputy captain of the armed workers team called over some members with good marksmanship and said:
"Comrades, have you seen those guys with mine detectors? Send them back to their hometowns!"
Lei Zi became excited as soon as he heard this. His hands had been itchy for a long time. It was much more difficult to hunt with his father in the past, but his shots were still flawless;
What he is using now is the Little Devil's 38-meter cover. It has small recoil and high accuracy. He can hit stationary targets a hundred meters away with his eyes closed. Those minesweepers are no different from stationary targets. He can hit them with greater confidence. very.
Lei Zi aimed at a small Japs, as if it was more challenging to fight such a Japs. He was waiting for the deputy captain's order to shoot together for better results.
"beat!"
Lei Zi finally waited for the command to shoot, and decisively pulled the trigger. Without checking whether he hit the target, he quickly ejected the bullet casing, loaded the bullet, and fired another bullet before the Japanese could react. This time Hit a panicked Japs.
Six Japanese engineers were placed among five, and only one reacted quickly and fell on the ground to escape the disaster.
"Bagaya road, enemy attack, in the village! Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
"Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta..."
"Ta-ta-ta-ta..."
The Japanese machine gun responded very quickly and quickly found the location of Lei Zi and others. The bullets made a popping sound on the wall, but it was a pity that it was too late.
The most basic tactical discipline of guerrilla warfare is to change places after a battle. Only Lei Zi, who likes to eat more and occupy more, shot twice. Afterwards, he was criticized by the deputy captain, but he just looked at his expression and didn't take it seriously.
After the Japanese discovered that there was a Tubal Road in the village, they were like cats seeing the fishy smell. They immediately screamed and rushed towards the village, forgetting about the landmines.
"boom!"
"boom!"
…
Several landmines rang out, swallowing up the Japanese who were rushing in front. Second Lieutenant Nakata was completely dumbfounded.
At this moment, his team had suffered casualties of more than one unit, with 6 dead and 11 injured.
Such piecemeal work made him hurt his head and make him mad. This mine was so annoying.
When clearing mines, Tuba Road would sneak attack their engineers, killing three or five at a time. No matter how many engineers they had, they would not be enough to consume;
If you don't clear the mines, you will waste the Japanese. Use the hard-trained warriors to consume the mines on Tubal Road. If there are too many casualties, the squadron leader will kill him.
"Bagaya Road, turn in!"
At his wits' end, Nakata decided to retreat first and discuss countermeasures before attacking.
"Pa bang..."
"Bagaya road, trash!"
The angry Captain Sekiguchi couldn't accept this cruel reality, so he slapped Nakata hard several times, which made him feel better.
"Bagaya Road, Nakata, your work is not the work of warriors. A few landmines on Tubal Road scared back the warriors of your team. You are as courageous as a mouse!"
"Hey"
"Hey!"
After being beaten, Nakata could only keep pecking at the rice. The hierarchy of the Japs was very strict. One level above the Japs would kill someone, so slapping him a few times was already very polite.
The problem facing Guankou now is that many people will be killed by landmines if they continue to attack. It is even more impossible to give up and return to Black Spring Town in despair. Captain Otani will laugh to death.
He sent a dead ghost to fight the thunder, but the puppet army was not around. At this time, he finally thought of Wang Wumao and others.
"Bagayalu, haven't the Imperial Alliance Army arrived yet? Wang Wumao's conscience is greatly broken!"
(V.O. Wang Wumao: I have already been reincarnated in advance!"
A few kilometers away, the militia company had finished its work. Most of the puppet troops that Guankou was worried about had been wiped out, and only a small part had escaped.
"Captain Deng, both Japs were eliminated, 82 puppet soldiers were captured, 42 were killed, 77 were injured, 3 machine guns, more than 160 rifles and pistols were seized, and ammunition and supplies were piled as high as a hill. , and also seized hundreds of oceans, these Japanese devils are quite rich."
Wang Xiangxiang hurriedly came over to report the results of the battle to Deng Wu. Although it was not standardized, he learned well.
Deng Wu was also very happy after hearing this. He also took a certain risk in ambushing so many puppet troops at once. The militia company lacked actual combat experience and could easily become a mess.
Fortunately, the puppet army's fighting will was weak, and they were calculated mentally and unintentionally. Once the bomb exploded, the puppet army had almost no resistance. What followed was a unilateral massacre and the capture of prisoners all over the mountains and fields.
It would be different if they were replaced by Japanese soldiers. Even if they suffered more than a third of the casualties, they would still not be in chaos and could still launch a counterattack. When encountering militiamen with little actual combat experience, the outcome would be difficult to predict.
"Platoon Commander Wang, find a place to hide the captured equipment and supplies. If you bring too much stuff, you won't be able to fight."
