Roads are still roads, weeds are still weeds, and villages are still villages.
The leading troops of the security army will enter the village in a few minutes!
Brigadier Zhu remained silent. Although the division commander was anxious, he knew what he was waiting for and was helpless.
The commander looked like he was in a dark, broken house that had just been repaired in the west of the village, holding a telescope. In a nearby room with closed doors and windows and an oil lamp lit, the radio was beeping.
The staff officers and the political commissar were ready, and the messengers who were constantly coming in and out were reporting the enemy positions in all directions. The staff officers carefully marked them on the map.
The security forces hadn't even seen a single person so far, and they felt a little at ease. The troops had been out in force these past few days, and the nearby people must have fled under the Eighth Route Army.
After walking for half an afternoon, the energy of the security army seemed to be almost exhausted. Many people wanted to rush to the village early to get some hot food. The unusual shallow ditch on the roadside finally attracted the attention of the Japanese instructors in the security army. .
"The security forces seem to have discovered something!" The girl whispered beside the commander, holding up the binoculars.
"What do you mean, you thought I didn't see it?" The commander frowned.
Bang, there was a sudden gunshot in the grass.
The vigilante company on horseback was shot in the chest and immediately fell to the ground.
Brigadier Zhu saw that the company commander of the security army had been staring at him. He had been on the battlefield for a long time and had rich theories. He immediately understood what was wrong and did not dare to be careless. He immediately ordered his only sharpshooter to open fire and kill the man riding on the battlefield. Officer on horseback.
"Guard squad one, follow up and fire a row of random shots, and then immediately pretend to retreat!"
Ten soldiers quickly pulled and pushed the gun bolt, and the bullets were loaded! They were well-trained and did not fire in a row, but fired in an orderly manner. As a result, a volley of guns was fired in the grass, and the two unlucky guys who were still in a daze were immediately shot and screamed.
The other security forces came to their senses and immediately ran around, looking for ditches and pits to lie down on the ground. They raised their guns and fired back at the fleeing Eighth Route Army where the gunshots were fired.
In the grass about 40 to 50 meters away from the road, a dozen gray figures were running wildly towards the village in the south. After a few seconds, they disappeared into the tall bushes.
Brigadier Zhu was helpless. The enemy flanks had not come up. If he attacked now, it would not be a big problem to repel the security forces. However, after the security forces retreated, they would probably come back. By then, you and I would most likely get into a tug-of-war. The plains were conducive to the enemy. The small body of the machine is no match for the large number of security forces and Japanese soldiers.
"Don't panic, there is no order... Do not load the bullets!" Among the remaining teams, the squad leaders continued to convey the orders to the soldiers after receiving the order from the brigade commander's messenger.
A veteran complained: "Whose fucking idea came up with this? The battle has already started, and why don't you let me load the bullets?"
Bullets are only allowed to be loaded after the charge horn sounds, which completely prevents soldiers from firing and exposing the target due to nervousness!
"I'm afraid that those new recruits will go on fire. This time I'm going to play big tricks. If the security forces are alerted now, they will turn around and run away. We will ambush them and give them a beating."
"As long as you can, once you defeat the squad leader, I bet that security guard is standing right there and you can't hit him!"
"Shut up, whoever speaks again will go back and clean the toilets for a month!" the platoon leader next to him shouted.
Xiao Hongying in the village still held up the binoculars. After a burst of gunfire, the gunfire actually became sparse.
At this time, she was not observing the enemy. She had been observing the sharpshooter under Brigadier Zhu.
For no other reason than that the sharpshooter had a distinctive rifle.
It was countless times better than the gun with a scope that she asked Li Xiang to make do with. With her ability, with just a few bullets thrown, she found out the details of the sharpshooter.
Obviously, she coveted the rifle in the hands of the sharpshooter. During the afternoon zone meeting, she went to the sharpshooter privately and offered to exchange two crooked rifles, but was ruthlessly rejected!
So this time Hu Yi didn't let her go to the front line and asked her to stay in the rear, and she agreed very uncharacteristically.
Next to her was Luo Fugui, a seriously injured man. At this time, he was bored and skillfully pulled out a bullet from the Czech magazine, then pressed it in again, and then pulled it out and pressed it again, making a rhythmic and harsh metal friction click. Voice.
"Can you please be quiet!" Xiao Hongying threw a lump of dirt onto Luo Fugui's helmet.
"Grandma, they didn't start a fight even after the gunshots were fired. They still had to wait for the trumpet to blow. These losers just walked three or four miles for almost an hour. They don't know that it's easy to bump into people when walking at night. Something for you?" Luo Fugui threw the magazine aside and stood up.
No one answered him.
In a huge firewood pile in the village, inside the Iron Bastard, the monkey was a little excited. The enemy he faced was the security army. Although they had guns and cannons, they were nothing compared to the Japanese.
The two soldiers were covered with dead grass, ready to step forward at any time and shake the key that had been inserted into the water pump wheel of the armored vehicle: the starting crank.
"The gun went off, why didn't you give the order?"
"Maybe we have to wait until the security forces enter the ambush before making any move!"
"That damn ambush circle, isn't it just two trenches dug?"
"No more nonsense, pay attention to the sound of the trumpet."
Monkey seems to like the atmosphere of the Ninth Company very much. The most important thing is freedom. There is basically no need for training. Although Chief Hu has a straight face, at least there is no intrigue like in the previous army.
Otherwise, given that the Eighth Route Army did not even have military pay, it would be strange for him to keep his group of national troops.
Before arriving at the Sand District, I watched two performances by the art and art soldiers of the branch army, but they left midway. This performance was incomparable to the Tianjin Theater, and it was not even as energetic as the troupe hired by the traitor's family.
I dozed off and listened to several reports from the divisional organization, and I roughly knew that the Japanese security forces were doing a lot of evil. Hey, I have seen worse things than this. The young man who made the report cried and cried for a long time, It didn't make the monkey any more sympathetic at all.
The command hierarchy of the division is clear, and all departments must obey the orders of the headquarters.
Two observers from the headquarters were lying on the roof next to the commander, nervously watching what was going on over at Brigadier Zhu's side.
Buglers from the two divisions stood not far behind the commander, ready to blow the charge horn at any time.
A division soldier quickly ran over from among the soldiers, explained the reason for the burst of gunfire just now, and asked the departments not to act randomly!
Not far behind Hu Yi, Tang Dagou was holding a gun and looking up at the sky with half-squinted eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking. The two subordinates beside him were muttering in a low voice. When they talked about something happy, they covered their mouths and giggled.
Tang Dagou raised his leg and kicked him, his laughter was swallowed back. On the ninth company position, there was no tension at all before the war.
The new recruits, who had slowly adapted to the style of the Ninth Company, were all lying in the trenches. Each squad leader bent over and patted the shoulders of his soldiers one by one to boost morale.
The warriors who had filled their bellies early were concentrating on the possible battles ahead. The more nervous they became, the more distracted they became, each thinking about their own thoughts.
The observation post reported the enemy's distance: "Two hundred meters!"
After coming for a mile, the puppet troops in the north walked for almost ten minutes!
Hu Yi closed the pocket watch in his hand with a click and stuffed it into his pocket.
He raised his binoculars and looked at the security forces who were screaming in panic when they heard gunshots in the distance. They lay on the ground and stopped advancing. They were completely speechless.
Do these security forces really have to wait until dark?
At that time, it will be very disadvantageous for the ambushed Eighth Route Army. Not to mention that there are many people in the team who are chicken-eyed and cannot see clearly when it gets dark. At that time, they can only fight a rout, and there will definitely be no hope of capturing what the division wants. .
Although the security army's marching speed was not fast, their escape speed was definitely faster than that of the malnourished Eighth Route Army!
Therefore, the battle must be advanced and cannot wait any longer!
What's more, there are two groups of bandit security groups on the east and west routes heading south!
While he was hesitating whether to issue an order to get out of the trenches and move forward, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves in front of the enemy. He couldn't help but get excited and pulled up his binoculars to take a closer look.
A voice from far away came: "The army commander has given an order. When encountering a small group of Eighth Route Army troops, they have already fled to the village in the south. All units will immediately march quickly and gather in the village in ten minutes! If you kill an Eighth Route Army soldier, you will be rewarded with two yuan!"
The sudden turn of events aroused nervousness in all departments.
Hu Yi grabbed a piece of soil and threw it at Ma Liang.
The soldiers of the Ninth Company were full of energy. One by one, they poked their heads out of the trenches to grab their guns, and carefully pulled the bolts.
When you reach the squad level, you only need to obey the orders. The general arrangement is to wait for the battle to start and charge the second company!
The Ninth Company mainly carried out fire suppression, covering the machine gun and grenade positions on the entire left wing, and advanced towards the enemy alternately as a whole!
In the trench, two soldiers carried a stretcher with their waists bent, and Li Xiang, covered with bandages, was lying on it, explaining the battle to the grenade group.
What about mortars? The artillery shells were all used up in the last battle to break through the Japanese cavalry brigade...
