Without Hu Yi, the battle between the Nine Companies was still unambiguous.
At this time, gunshots were fired from all directions, but this time there was no company commander. The soldiers of the Ninth Company felt somewhat unconfident, but more than fear, the war was coming, adrenaline was soaring, and they were more excited. !
All circumstances indicate that the progress of the battle is similar to the plan laid out before the war.
To the east of the village, a group of black figures were lying on the ground and approaching the village.
When the team in the darkness attacked the village, the puppet troops surrounded outside were adjusting their formations under the guidance of the Japanese instructors, preparing to charge and break through the Tubal Road defense line in one fell swoop.
A sharp whistle broke the dark silence.
The Japanese fired a signal bomb into the sky to remind the puppet troops in the village to immediately attack outwards and squeeze the space for activities of the Eighth Route Army.
The soldier who was about to enter the village in the dark was stunned, and quickly lowered his body to hide in the darkness.
The faint cries of Japanese birds could be heard, and not long after, two platoons of puppet troops rushed out of the village to the west, vowing to wipe out all the eight groups in the west of the village that had been most "harassed".
Chen Chong was so happy that his hands trembled disobediently. He never expected that the enemy who had been fighting for a long time without seeing any movement finally came out of the village!
Under attack from both sides? I have launched such a big battle just to draw out the enemies in the village.
Although the direction in which the enemy rushed out was not to the north, an order was immediately issued: "First row, attack west immediately and attack the flanks of the puppet troops coming out!"
The correspondent next to him immediately blew the whistle!
Up until now, the harassing Eighth Route Army has actually been on the defensive!
The thinking of the Japanese instructors is very simple. They don't think that the Eighth Route Army has any kind of attack!
Because since they entered the battlefield, they have never seen the Eighth Route Army dare to actually attack.
Their most respected tactic is guerrilla warfare!
As for Second Lieutenant Terao, the highest Japanese officer in charge, his training level can be said to be top-notch, but his actual combat experience is just a little behind.
The situation on the battlefield is clear at a glance. The Imperial Association Army is surrounded outside. There is also a company of Imperial Association Army in the village. It is initially estimated that the harassing Eighth Route Army is only one company. It has to be said that his battlefield judgment ability is very accurate, and the orders issued are also quite satisfactory. There aren't many people on Tubal Road but you still dare to divide your troops around the village. Isn't this looking for death?
Therefore, the order given by Second Lieutenant Terao was to first clear out all the troops to the west, and then advance to encircle both sides.
It's a pity that he didn't expect that half of the Eighth Route Army's troops were hidden in the darkness!
Until now, the arrogant second lieutenant has never thought of asking for help from the friendly forces mopping up nearby!
The shadows, who originally planned to use the darkness to create a centerpiece in the village, began to jump out of the darkness, preparing to follow the charging puppet troops and pursue them one after another to stab the puppet troops in the butt.
The Japanese army sergeant in the village was not stupid either. He left a platoon in the village to cut off the rear.
Chen Chong was overjoyed when he saw the complicated battle situation. The puppet troops in the village finally rushed out, and the mines that had been laid outside the village were finally about to open!
It seems that he is under attack from both sides, but the initiative is always in his own hands!
After estimating the time, we have to quickly finish this battle while taking advantage of the chaos, and then we have to clean up the battlefield and retreat!
When the puppet soldiers left the village, scattered gunshots suddenly rang out under the hazy moonlight.
The sergeant who directed the attack was relieved.
Obviously, there are not many Eighth Route Army outside the village. In this case, there is no need to test the firepower, just wave for the Imperial Association Army to rush forward. For a moment, the Imperial Association Army, who have been training for many days, open the formation with torches. Under the guidance of the sergeant, he pressed on the slope outside the village with all his strength, and then occupied the slope to join the surrounding Imperial Army. Then, the battle was over!
The idea is very beautiful.
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in front of the attacking team.
Landmines explode!
Stones flew randomly, and in the darkness to the west of the wilderness, one after another explosions began to gather, and the flashes of light slowly lengthened and connected into a line!
After a striking flash of light, there was a violent explosion, and rocks were flying everywhere. The Japanese Army Sergeant felt a chill in his heart. The feeling made him panic. Tubal Road actually set up an ambush outside the village!
Where did they get so many landmines?
Fortunately, he didn't rush to the front when he was commanding. The sergeant lying on the ground was a little confused.
No longer caring about the image of the instructor, there were two jingles from the helmet on his head, and his back seemed to have been hit a few times. I felt that he should not be injured!
The explosion finally stopped, and the sergeant quickly looked up in panic at the darkness to the west. Through the still churning dust and mist, the torches lit by friendly troops in the distance reflected the sky red.
In the direction where the landmines exploded just now, the Imperial Army soldiers were rolling on the ground and wailing.
Based on his feeling, with such a large-scale explosion, it is estimated that most of the more than 60 Imperial Army troops rushing forward would be injured!
On the other side of the slope, the sound of grenades exploding one after another, and the sound of intensive machine gun and rifle shooting could be heard. It was obvious that the surrounding and attacking Imperial Army troops outside were almost in the same situation as him!
In the village behind them, gunshots were heard intensively.
The sergeant was congratulating himself on leaving a platoon of Imperial Army soldiers behind in the village. They must have been at war with the Eighth Route Army hiding in the village!
Until now, the sergeant finally saw the situation clearly. The one ambushed outside the village was not a small group of harassing Eighth Route Army soldiers at all!
It is definitely the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and its strength will never be less than one battalion!
So arrogant!
I finally understood the link-by-link tactical arrangements of Tubal Road. The commander who formulated the battle plan was definitely a master.
With such a superb battlefield layout, it is no surprise that the commanders and staff of the Eighth Route Independent Regiment to the west should be personally directing it!
If he knew that the current predicament he was facing was just an unranked platoon leader from a certain company, sitting on a broken bench, patting his head and thinking about a plan for a long time, he would definitely be pissed to death!
The sergeant observed carefully that he had no intention of retreating to the village until now! The eight-way mines have been used up, so even though I only bring a dozen elites with me now, this should be an opportunity!
The pseudo-platoon leader in the village immediately became nervous when he heard that the team attacking outside the village was under attack. There were wailings everywhere.
The instructor supervising the battle didn't know where he was going, and he had no determination to resist, so he immediately sent someone out of the village to ask for instructions.
But the man who left the village took a look at the village entrance. There were discarded torches on the ground. The brothers who had been playing tricks together during the day were howling. There was no one standing on the ground.
Seeing this, his feet were trembling and he didn't dare to leave the village. After thinking about it carefully, he rolled his eyes and realized that he had not done any evil. Tubal Road gave priority to the prisoners, so he surrendered and turned back to the village directly: "Report and report." The platoon leader's brothers who left the village were ambushed and all died!"
This person's reconnaissance level is really not low!
All those lying on the ground were considered dead balls by him.
The fake platoon leader was shooting blindly into the village while listening to the report from his subordinates. He was immediately stunned and horrified: "Did you see clearly that all of them are really dead?"
That guy squatted behind the low wall with his waist crouched, and said with a sad face: "Anyway, there is no one standing!"
When the fake platoon leader heard this, he was a little dumbfounded. Who of these two men would stand still when they were shooting and exploding landmines?
Just when he was about to send someone to take a look, the gunshots from the opposite side suddenly became much sparser.
A voice came: "Puppet soldiers in the village, please listen to me. The Eighth Route Army is here. You know our rules. If you are sensible, you should immediately put down your weapons and surrender. After ten days and a half, if you want to go home, When you go home, you can still get two oceans of travel expenses. If you want to be a puppet soldier again, I don’t care. Hehe, now, if you still don’t listen to me, don’t blame me for not having a good eye for guns!"
The three puppet soldiers in the village immediately lost their courage when they heard this shouting. What could be more important than surviving?
The Imperial Army instructors were not here anymore, so they all stopped shooting with the Eighth Route Army and looked at the platoon leader, waiting for the platoon leader to make up his mind.
The puppet troops charging out of the village from the north to the west are approaching quickly.
In the darkness, a voice shouted anxiously: "If there is a mine that has not exploded, please don't pull the broken rope on the ground!"
Bang, a gunshot, and the sound in the darkness suddenly stopped!
Gunshots continued to sound, and the Eighth Route Army soldiers attacking from the north were constantly knocked to the ground.
More than a dozen Japanese soldiers took advantage of the corpses on the ground or the bodies of wounded soldiers to take cover, and were shooting north alternately.
The puppet soldiers who were not injured on the ground quickly followed the Japanese soldiers, raising their guns and shooting into the darkness to the north. The charging team was suppressed every step of the way.
The battlefield is fair. As the attacking party, the figure is completely exposed. After all, it is at a disadvantage and has nothing to do with combat effectiveness.
Seeing that the battlefield situation in the west of the village has entered a stalemate.
Chen Chong held up a telescope in the darkness. Although he couldn't see anything, he could feel that before the Hundreds and Eighth Route Army could attack the enemy's flank, the group of puppet troops that broke out from the village to the west had already been buried by Mancang and them. Lei will reimburse most of it!
"Report to the platoon leader, the enemy is pressing hard, the mines on the east side have been cleared, and we can no longer hold it anymore!"
"Report, the south side can't stand it anymore."
Chen Chong's eyes towards the battlefield slowly became firm: "You have to resist even if you can't bear it!"
Until, a large group of people rushed out of the village to the west, throwing grenades as they ran.
There are many who seek death, and they are not afraid of blowing themselves up.
