The fact that the Independent Regiment had the opportunity to attack the enemy-occupied Japanese in the early spring had something to do with the Eighth Route Army's good intelligence work.
The Japs who went south to encircle and suppress the national army were indeed unable to spare their efforts, and for such a small-scale battle, no one even paid attention to the enemy's headquarters when they reported to the Japs.
Hu Yi concluded that the bandits would never be able to recruit too many troops, so the group headed south.
In his eyes, these rabble-rousers like Wang Sanzhu were simply vulnerable, because most of them were not defeated soldiers of the national army. They were simply not ruthless enough, because he had no courage! What's more, they can surrender to the enemy because they have no faith and are afraid of death.
After driving through the night for half a night, I finally heard sparse gunshots from the south.
The team member at the front reported: "We are still fifteen miles away from Shawo Village. If we can maintain the current speed, we can reach it in half an hour!"
Looking around, a group of soldiers were wolfing down dry food. Hu Yi held a piece of horse meat in his hand and swallowed it hard.
During this period of continuous fighting, the team was not well trained. Most of the soldiers' names, Hu Yi, are still unknown.
They were singled out just because some of them could ride bicycles. Many of the soldiers had joined the army not long ago. They had been involved in two large-scale battles since they started, and they finally began to understand the cruelty of war.
Although they couldn't understand their battalion commander Hu Yi, following Jiuying could fight the Japanese, they even thought Jiuying's lazy atmosphere was normal!
They finally met the legendary demon Xiao Hongying. The new warriors agreed that the legend must be false!
"Squad leader, when we were still in the Ninth Company, I heard them all say that the girl is evil and smoking. The girl was injured yesterday. Why are so many people in the team worried?" A recruit couldn't help but ask.
This squad leader is also a new recruit, but he is educated, so he was directly arranged to be a squad leader by Lao Qin: "I think the soldiers who were left behind are jealous of the relationship between the girl and the battalion commander!"
"Well, monitor, what you said seems to make sense..."
"Hey, I said you were scared to death for the first time on the battlefield, right?"
"How is it possible? I have hit two enemies..."
"Tch, last night you went to Company Commander Luo Fugui's kitchen to bake your pants in the middle of the night, and you still said you didn't pee?"
"What the hell, I'm baking the pants of the wounded."
"No, how did you know I was baking my pants in the kitchen in the middle of the night?"
"Uh... I heard what others said..." The squad leader who asked the question blushed in the dark and looked around. No one should be able to see it.
"Everyone, start immediately, head south, get out!" the ordering soldier roared in the dark night.
The recruits on the ground couldn't help but look at the back of the battalion commander in front of them again. They didn't expect that because a few of them could ride bicycles, they could join the legendary Ma Liang Company of the Nine Battalions. Captain Ma was kind to the soldiers, unlike Luo Lian. When I was in charge of that company, I always had a strange tone when I spoke.
...
South of Shawo Village.
Eighth Route Army lit a fire in the east of the village.
No one in the bandit team lit a torch in the dark night, so they lit larger fires in the east and west of the village for lighting, while the main force of the bandits was deployed in the south of the village. This time, the bandits learned the lesson from the previous attack and He planned to use the fires in the east and west of the village as lighting to attack the village in one fell swoop!
As usual, Wang Sanzhu spoke before the attack: "This time, the brothers from the east and west sides will pretend to attack. At that time, we all must rush into the village at one go. Once we enter the village, those eight roads will be fish and meat on the chopping board. Brothers can do whatever they want to chop." Cut it! I’ll tell you the ugly story ahead, hey, let’s follow the example of the Imperial Army and supervise the battle team this time. If anyone dares to cower, don’t blame me for not having a good eye for my gun!”
This time, no one asked any more questions. Wang Sanzhu looked at his bandits in the darkness with satisfaction: "Now, please Uncle Qi to make attack arrangements for all brothers!"
The bandits in the dark couldn't help but smack their lips. A certain bandit whispered to an old oil man next to him and asked: "Brother, how about we run slower later?"
Veteran Youzi shook his head: "You know what the heck, on the battlefield, the faster you run, the longer you live! If everyone runs slowly, we have to run faster! This time, the man surnamed Wang did not personally arrange it. Put down your body and ask Old Man Qi to plan the tactics. It seems he is determined to let us break into the village... You will follow me later and rush into the village to find cover first."
"Run fast... How long can you survive in the first village?" The words of the national army's retreat made the bandits who were asking questions shine in the eyes!
"Attack on the east and west sides. There are only so many people in the Eighth Route Army. Why don't their main forces defend the east and west sides first? Let's run faster then. Even if we encounter those militiamen, I can beat ten of them by myself!"
"Everyone, listen up. The commander said that if you break into the village, the commander will reward you. If anyone dares to pretend to be dead, don't blame me, Qi, for being unkind!" The emotionless voice of the old gangster Qi began to beat everyone. The heart of a bandit.
After finishing his ugly words, Bandit Qi immediately arranged an offensive echelon: "Zhao Laosan!"
"Yes!" How could Zhao Laosan dare not answer when the ruthless bandit Qi called his name?
"You lead the frontal attack! From a distance of 300 meters, I only give you three minutes. You must all rush into the village. At that time, I will let the machine guns shoot!"
"Okay." Zhao Laosan's trembling voice was reluctant to answer, which made all Zhao Laosan's subordinates secretly curse, this rotten old bandit has such a dark heart.
"Li Laosi!"
"Yes!" The person whose number was called immediately agreed.
"You lead the team on the right...three minutes."
"yes!"
"Wang Laowu..."
Now that things have happened, the bandits finally know that they can't stand still this time!
Fortunately, everyone knew that most of the village was composed of militiamen, and the sharpshooter from the Eighth Route was probably still in the west of the village, so the bandits felt a lot more relieved.
As for why they had to fight against the Eighth Route Army in the village, and what they could gain from this battle, no one thought about what they were fighting for!
Surviving these days is a gift from God!
Fate has long oppressed people's thoughts to the point where everything is just for survival. In this world, there are no more choices!
This fight may be for survival.
There was a loud crash, and the bandits with their own agendas began to check their guns and ammunition.
Wang Sanzhu spoke two words clearly and clearly through his teeth: "Inform the troops in the east and west of the village immediately to feign an attack!"
The messengers waiting nearby immediately dispersed and ran to both sides.
Not long after, a gunshot was heard from the east.
Then there were gunshots and loud shouts of killing, and hundreds of rifles opened fire... Tracer bullets that the bandits had obtained from nowhere were constantly passing through the open space.
Li Huanzhang from the village directly raised his gun and aimed at a position with continuous flashes, fired directly, then quickly loaded the bullet, lowered the crosshair a little lower, aimed again and fired, and the flash stopped immediately at that position!
The bullets were randomly inserted into the wall and into the ground, making continuous popping noises, and the scene was shocking.
Soon, gunshots rang out from the west.
Under Wang Sanzhu's order, the bandits from the south began to run towards the village.
In an open field about 300 meters southeast of the bandits' temporary headquarters, squad leader Chen, who was lying on the ground and had been observing, pulled off the grenade ring, threw the grenade to the left front, and then ran further south.
Geng Ting from the south looked at the recruits led by his militiamen: "Everyone has seen it clearly. The bandits are attacking our people in the village! Let's go back and stab them in the back. This time, we must beat these bandits to death." His mother doesn’t even recognize him!”
