Fires ignited in the ground caused the village to tear up the night sky outside the village.
The sudden explosion from behind directly caused the bandits who were unaware and fearful to rush into the village to speed up their pace!
There are many smart people among the bandits. They know that there must be someone in the village who has been keeping an eye on the south. After forming a formation, they yell and run away. The only way to survive is to enter the village. It is dangerous to stay in the open space outside the village and serve as a target.
They no longer had the time to look around, nor did they have the time to figure out what Commander Wang meant by launching a "firecracker" from behind. Everyone just wanted to rush into the village in the shortest possible time.
Guns were fired from the east and west, and a dark shadow finally appeared in the open field to the south. The two militiamen guarding the entrance to the village were immediately nervous and their hands were shaking.
The squad leader of the wounded soldier from the second company next to him ordered: "Listen carefully: when the enemy comes up and hears me blowing the first whistle, fire the grenade. When the second whistle blows, drop the bomb immediately. Don't shoot after the grenade is thrown." , you must keep calm and obey my orders..."
The order was passed on, and the squad leader once again ordered the militia platoon leader next to him: "You must remember clearly, when the explosion sounds, you must light the pile of firewood on the left side of the village entrance, so that the enemy will be exposed to our guns." ,Understand?"
The platoon leader nodded and ran away from the squad leader: "Isn't it just to light a fire? Don't worry, I will take care of this..."
The position of the militia platoon leader is one level higher, but no one cared about it in the conversation between the two at this time.
In the open field.
The bandit soldiers who were running with their waists bent were a little confused. They clutched their loaded guns tightly and looked nervously at the village where there was no movement.
Seeing that we were already less than fifty meters outside the village, there was still no movement in the village...
The bandit queens felt that the village was more and more suspicious, and they couldn't care less at this time. More than two to three hundred bandits swarmed towards the village.
The wounded squad leader at the entrance of the village had a leg injury and was unable to perform bomb-dropping actions. Looking at the dense crowd, he immediately blew his squad leader's whistle!
A sharp voice sounded in the dark night.
The tone was urgent: "What are you doing, mother? Are you still standing there in a daze? Get ready to light the fire..."
"Did not you say..."
The second sharp sound tore the speaker's voice into two parts, and the latter part was not heard clearly.
The bandit heard the whistle at the entrance of the village and didn't know why. He just guessed in his heart that it must be something bad, but he had no time to pay attention at that moment.
Swinging his parasol legs, he continued to rush forward.
The dark village wall was faintly visible in the light coming from the east-west feint attack outside the village. It was so close, right in front of us!
At a distance of about thirty steps, even in the dark night with the gun in hand, it only takes five or six seconds.
Bullets are expensive, and the militiamen on the plains don't have many opportunities to shoot, so their shooting is definitely not accurate.
The militiamen usually train the most and most convenient subjects such as grenade throwing and stabbing. Under the leadership of Company Commander Zhou, they have worked hard on them.
The Japanese have carried out raids every year, and so many of the villagers have died. They have long hated the enemy. Although they are nervous, throwing a grenade is basically no problem.
A wave of grenades swirled directly into the crowd of bandits charging towards them.
"Who the hell hit me?" A certain unlucky guy was hit directly on the head by a grenade. He was dizzy and subconsciously pulled the trigger of a loaded rifle.
Bang, a clear gunshot sounded first among the bandits in the open field to the south.
Some guys who also had grenades in their hands and were ready to drop them at any time almost opened fire: "What the hell are you shooting at?"
Attack is different from defense. When there is movement or silence, the attacker has to keep running forward, even if he has a grenade in his hand, he does not dare to throw it!
You can't just throw a grenade on the road you're about to move forward, right?
Boom...boom...boom...
Continuous flashes of light and smoke exploded among the crowd at the front of the bandit soldiers.
Shrapnel flew across the sky, and the black figures running in front staggered around, screaming and wailing in a hideous manner.
The bandit soldiers were scattered, and there were many who were far away from the explosion point. However, they were blown by a strong hot wind, and the grenades they held in their hands were lost. Many of them even dropped their guns.
The ground was shaking, and the militiamen who had thrown grenades at the entrance of the village also felt a gust of hot wind blowing against their faces, and many of them were blinded by the dust on the ground.
Hearing the sound of gunfire, the militiamen who had thrown grenades hurriedly raised their guns, regardless of whether anyone ordered to shoot, and a chaotic shooting began immediately.
The machine gunners on both sides of the bandits were not good at it either. They opened fire at the same time as the grenades exploded in the village. A hail of bullets immediately hit the bright spots at the entrance of the village.
A militiaman who was new to the battlefield couldn't help but rejoice: "I hit an enemy..."
With a chirping sound, a bullet tore off his right ear...
"Which bastard fired first?" The squad leader of the second company cursed while rubbing his eyes that were filled with dirt. He didn't even know that the first shot was from the bandits. Then he yelled and ordered the militiamen to prepare for bombing: "Let go." Keep your head down, no one is allowed to show up, prepare for the second wave of grenades!"
When I saw someone disobeying orders and firing, and even being suppressed by machine guns from both wings of the bandits, I felt a burning fire in my heart.
There was nothing he could do now, because the whistle he was holding in his mouth fell into the trench while dodging the bandits' machine gun trajectories!
He even forgot that he could use his big mouth full of dirt to open... and directly order everyone to drop bombs...
A fire was spreading rapidly at the entrance of the village. The pile of firewood was lit by the militia platoon leader and quickly grew in size in the cold spring wind.
With the brightening light, the monitor was still looking for the whistle.
A wounded soldier was behind the courtyard wall. The rifle moved slightly on the shooting hole. A bandit soldier's body as big as a grinder was in the crosshairs... Still zooming in: "Good boy, grandpa has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Bang...the gunshot rang out and people fell.
The dark figure who was lucky enough not to be overturned by the grenade and jumped out of the explosion gap immediately fell to the ground and screamed loudly and inhumanely.
"Hey, you're still alive even though I've been beaten to death? Are you a cat?" The soldier behind the courtyard wall immediately pulled the bolt, pushed the bullet and loaded the gun, and then opened fire on the person making the noise on the ground...
Chirp, there were two more sharp whistles.
The militiamen responsible for dropping the bombs hurriedly put down their guns and threw out another wave of grenades.
Just listen to the machine gun bullets suppressed by the bandits flying overhead and screaming.
Boom boom boom...
A series of explosions sounded again in the open field...
He never expected that the bandits' charges would be so numerous and so fierce and fearless. In just a moment, a large wave of black shadows had already bypassed the intersection into the village and rushed towards the corners of the village walls!
There is no need to aim at the wounded soldiers, militiamen, and soldiers from Li Huanzhang's platoon behind the courtyard wall! Subconsciously, he quickly pulled the bolt and loaded the gun, and kept shooting at the approaching black shadow.
But there were too many bandit soldiers. After knocking down one, another one appeared from behind and kept getting closer. Finally, someone disappeared outside the firing range of the shooting hole.
As a result, after hiding in the yard and emptying the bullets in the magazine, there was no time to press the bullets again, so they had to retreat to the house in the yard and hold on with the help of the people.
Fortunately, most of the yards in the south of the village have houses in the back and open space in the front.
The room was full of curses, screams of pain, and gasps of air. The black muzzles of guns were pointed at the courtyard walls from the corners of empty windows and doorways, just waiting for the bandits to climb over the wall. fire.
Seeing that the shooting holes behind the courtyard wall did not fire anymore, the bandits swarmed closer to the courtyard wall. In their understanding, as long as they were close to the courtyard wall, they were basically safe. Although the courtyard wall may not be able to block bullets, it can certainly block those in the courtyard. Eight-way sight.
"ah..."
"oops..."
Another shocking and strange scream sounded outside the courtyard wall.
The bandits never expected that... those wretched gangsters in the village would actually insert thick wooden sticks with sharp ends on the ground outside the courtyard wall and at half the height of the courtyard wall...
The number of attacking bandits was really too great. The explosions and the dense hail of bullets from sudden fire did not slow down the bandits at all!
The southern courtyard wall of the village has been completely surrounded by bandits, and the bandits can attack the entrance to the village from both sides at any time.
There were so many bandits that they were unstoppable. The squad leader of the second company of wounded soldiers, who had usurped the command of Li Huanzhang's squad commander, was not allowed to give the order to abandon the trench position at the entrance of the village and led a group of militiamen to retreat to the village along the transportation trench.
The panting bandits by the courtyard wall outside the village knew that the Eighth Route Army had set up a trap. They were so frightened that they pulled out many wooden stakes on the ground. Now that they had cover, they finally felt a lot more at ease.
Everyone alive looked around with wide eyes, secretly glad that the Bodhisattva they prayed for this time finally appeared and was unscathed! They immediately dispersed like slippery loaches into the darkness outside the village courtyard wall where the fire could not be seen.
What to do next, Qi Laoqi did not say, Commander Wang also did not explain...
But anyway, there is only one thing: kill the Eighth Route Army in the village and rescue the brothers who were captured by the Eighth Route Army!
