Chapter 20: Courage and Courage to Resist the Enemy
So the specific operation is that Qiu Hengshui asked the soldiers to get at least sixteen bullets each, divided into nine rounds and seven rounds, and when the devil attacked for the third time, he used four shots from the nine rounds, three rounds when he attacked in another wave, and two rounds when he attacked again. In this way, three times, plus at least seven or eight bullets used in the first two attacks by the devils and puppet armies, at least nearly twenty bullets can be used in these five attacks. In addition, during several attacks, many people took out the bows, arrows and stones left by their ancestors to cover people's eyes and ears.
At that time, the devil must have thought that the ammunition of the Eighth Route Army was gone, so he would attack with all his might, and now there are more than 80 people left in his more than 100 people, and when the time comes, he will take out all his belongings, that is, at least seven bullets and a grenade per person, and fight with them, then in the middle of the small col of less than a mile in the east and west, and give the enemy a heavy blow.
Sure enough, Suzuki attacked for the third time, and there were seventy or eighty people who returned, but the defenders of the Eighth Route Army were much less, and the firepower was much weaker. Suzuki was overjoyed when he saw this, and the original terrain was dangerous and could not make up for the lack of ammunition of the Eighth Route Army, so he immediately ordered the next wave of attack echelons to attack immediately while the fortifications of the Eighth Route Army had not been built and the ammunition was not ready.
This wave of devils and puppet troops is menacing, Qiu Hengshui's deputy captain said to Qiu Hengshui: "Captain, I think the enemy is going to take it in one fell swoop this time, let's use all the big medicine, otherwise once the devil captures the mountain gate, the follow-up troops come in, and we will have unimaginable consequences." ”
Qiu Hengshui was also pinching his thumb and pondering, he knew that this wave of ferocity was more auspicious, if all the ammunition was shaken out, this time it would definitely be no problem, but the enemy would be cautious, and when our guerrillas were finished, the enemy's casualties would also be reduced.
So Qiu Hengshui was heartbroken and said to the deputy captain: "No, we are trapped here and we will never be able to escape." However, even if we die, we will inflict heavy losses on the enemy, and we must resist this enemy attack, and we must act according to the original plan. ”
Between words. The enemy had already entered the mountain valley, Qiu Hengshui ordered to open fire according to the original plan, and sure enough, Suzuki Dazuo could see clearly with a telescope at the bottom of the mountain, although his casualties were far greater than Qiu Hengshui's. But it has already been seen that Qiu Hengshui has run out of bullets.
The vice captain looked eager, and saw that these two Japanese devils were about to attack the mountain gate, so he hurriedly said to Qiu Hengshui: "Captain, look, the devil's offensive is about to enter the gate!" ”
Qiu Hengshui smiled and said: "No, the devils won't come in this time, they still have dozens of people, if we come in and rely on the familiar terrain and alleys, can they go back?" If the devil comes in, it will come in the next wave. ”
Sure enough, Suzuki was able to hit the entrance of the village. He hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat and wait for the next attack.
Waiting for the troops to withdraw, the leader did not wait for Qiu Hengshui to breathe, and sent two squads and a puppet army of 100 people to set off to attack Xiyu Village.
This time Qiu Hengshui was really a little shaken, he didn't know if he could withstand it this time, because right now, no one only had two bullets, but the enemy had more than two hundred people.
The vice-captain really felt that it was difficult to support this time, but he was fooled for the sake of being able to deceive the Japanese army. Qiu Hengshui decided that he could use up to three bullets, but if the devil was fair, then he would greet him with stones. So the villagers who stayed behind pushed carts and kept transporting stones to the mountain gate.
Attacking in one place, Qiu Hengshui and his team were a little unbearable, and now that the combat attrition has been more than half, it is a little difficult to save ammunition. But things Qiu Hengshui felt. It is necessary to use manpower and force to an optimal balance, so that the troops are exhausted and the ammunition is exhausted, which is the best result of their heroic righteousness.
Suzuki's men slowly touched it again, and this time she decided to take it in one fell swoop, so as the team approached, all the hillsides went crazy and hit the mountain, one was to destroy the fortifications of Xiyu Village, and the other was to suppress the already weak firepower of Xiyu Village.
After the enemy approached, according to Qiu Hengshui's order, this time the enemy attacked, only twenty grenades were used, but in the face of the attack of more than two hundred people, this was far from enough.
This was followed by the sound of ping-pong gunfire, and dozens of devils and puppet soldiers fell. But this time, even the puppet army saw that there were not many people in the Eighth Route Army, and there was not much ammunition left, so they became bold and rushed forward quickly.
A quarter of an hour passed, there were still more than 100 devils and puppet troops rushing upward, and the mountain gate became the focus of contention between the two sides, but the villagers also hated the enemy, and brought a lot of stones.
But the stone is always the most primitive weapon, and most of those well-trained Japanese devils can still dodge, and they will not be able to contain it when they see it in front of the mountain gate, but at this moment, Qiu Hengshui shouted loudly and said:
"All back!"
Everyone heard this, and hurriedly retreated, the comrades at the door had just retreated ten meters, only to hear a loud noise in front of the door, dozens of devils and puppet soldiers flying flesh and blood. It turned out that Qiu Hengshui had buried a package of explosives before the war, and sold it very shallowly, and when a large number of enemies approached, he finally pulled the package of explosives.
Although he has already resisted the attack of the devil, the gate has also been blown open by himself by a ten-meter opening, and hand-to-hand combat is absolutely not cheap. In order to be able to deal with these last dozens of devils, Qiu Hengshui ordered all the fighters to hide and carry out street battles, and play these dozens of devils to death in the streets and alleys of this mountain village.
Sure enough, the devil walked through the mountain gate tremblingly, but there was no explosives exploding, and it was understood that the Eighth Route Army only had that package of explosives. And listening to the gunfire in the village, there were only forty or fifty defenders, and there were also wounded and wounded. So a large number of enemies rushed into the village.
However, when the devils entered the village, they had to search from house to house, and at this time, they took advantage of the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army in the dark and were familiar with the roads, so the "curtain war" and "tunnel war" fought.
Dozens of devils were terrified, knowing that if they lingered in the village any longer, they would all be consumed to death, so they all slowly got rid of the village.
Qiu Hengshui could see clearly on the mountain, but he couldn't do anything, because the number of people was not enough to block the way of the devils and the puppet army. But it doesn't hurt to do that, at least this defense is down.
Coupled with the guns and ammunition seized several times to resist, no one in his team still had ** bullets, and the number of people was only about 30 people, Qiu Hengshui also brought in the lightly wounded and other people who took care of the wounded, men, and the health center, a total of more than 50 people, all of whom were issued guns, bullets and grenades.
In addition, the villagers who stayed in the village to volunteer to support the troops also applied to join the battle, Qiu Hengshui understood that these villagers were willing to stay, in fact, they chose to show up, they had already fulfilled their responsibilities, but if they were not allowed to participate in the battle, they would be killed by the devil in the end, so they also sent guns and ammunition to them, and because this is Xiyu Village, the villagers have received gun training since they were children, and they don't need to be taught.
Suzuki had seen the whole story, and he concluded that the Eighth Route Army had no ammunition left, and at this moment, he felt that if the troops were sent up, they would be driven out by the Eighth Route using street fighting, so he decided to dispatch the whole army, charge the group, and take Xiyu Village in one sentence.
Qiu Hengshui saw that the other party was preparing people. It also understood that the time for the real decisive battle had come, and he finally convinced the Japanese that he had not even a single bullet and could not take out a single grenade.
Sure enough, the Japanese army patted a neat procession, like a military parade, and attacked Xiyu Village, Qiu Hengshui smiled, he thought to himself, such a queue is the best, so he instructed his subordinates to take out the three stops crooked handle.
But a notice said, "Captain, our crooked handle is out of magazines." ”
Qiu Hengshui smiled: "How could there be none? ”
As he spoke, the deputy captain and the two fighters took out the warehouse in Nanshan and opened the ammunition box, and sure enough, there were three full magazines. Qiu Hengshui then smiled:
"I'm afraid that if you know that there are still magazines, you won't be desperate, and the Japanese army just now won't be driven out, so I lied that there was no more. Now I'll take it out for you, the Japanese devils now think that we have no family, and it's up to you then! ”
The guy touched the back of his head and smiled, "Captain, you still have a lot of ideas." ”
At this time, the Japanese army had already arrived at the foot of the mountain gate, and Suzuki wanted to do this to show the strength of his army, and he wanted to say to the Eighth Route Army in this way, "Come on, I'm in front of you."
However, Qiu Hengshui expected the enemy to take the lead, and when the devils and the puppet army had completely entered the valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, Qiu Hengshui gave an order, and all of them opened fire, and the machine guns with good magazines were instantly moved out from under the fortifications, spit out tongues of fire, and the grenades were thrown out one by one, falling into the neat and uniform square.
Suzuki was completely stunned at this moment, he didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army still had such a strong firepower to preserve, and the devils who stood in a square line had not had time to disperse, and they were already flying flesh and blood, and in about fifteen seconds, all the machine guns were sprayed, and all the grenades were thrown out, and four or five hundred devils lost their lives.
From the beginning of the offensive, Suzuki had already lost nearly 1,000 men, and his own Japanese army was precisely because it was able to fight well and did not want the puppet army to fight a "slippery head", accounting for seven or eight hundred casualties, and the entire guerrilla force was only 150 people, and the equipment did not know how bad it was.
According to common military knowledge, the offensive force is at least three times that of the defenders in order to succeed, but Qiu Hengshui used these fortifications and terrain to achieve a battle loss ratio of 1 to 6 to 7, which really made Suzuki Dazuo embarrassed.
Suzuki was actually annoyed, took out his saber directly, waved it forward, and ordered the army to charge. Qiu Hengshui knew that his last firepower had been used up, and all that was left was to retreat into the streets and alleys and continue to fight. (To be continued.) )
