Chapter 335: Heavy casualties! (First update!) )

At this time, the squadron leader also calmed down from the panic at the beginning, and ordered with a serious face: "Use the current way of playing, stick to the courtyard, and attract all the Eighth Route Army activities around!" ”

"Send a signal to contact the imperial army troops on both wings, let them move closer to me, counter-encircle the surrounding Eighth Route Army, and then give them a center to blossom, and kill them with internal and external attacks!"

The squadron leader's idea was good, but the reality was very cruel.

On the rooftop, less than twenty meters away from him, three fighters were ready to drop bombs, each with five grenades by his side and one in his hand.

"Ready!" The third platoon commander commanded in a low voice.

Holding the grenade that had been unplugged, he put it on the butt of the rifle on his waist, and threw it into the yard with all his might.

"Throwing ......"

Three grenades emitting white smoke fell from the sky and smashed to the ground, and before they exploded, the second round of three grenades followed.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The grenade exploded, three explosions per round, and the sound continued to ring in the courtyard.

The luck of the devil squadron leader was very bad, and as soon as the tense nerves relaxed, a grenade hit him right in the back heel.

Seeing the grenade emitting white smoke on the ground, his face instantly turned pale.

Subconsciously turned around and tried to kick the grenade away, and then fell to the ground to dodge, a fireball exploded directly under his feet.

The whole person seemed to have been punched hard with the strength of a thousand catties, flew directly backwards, and then slammed into the courtyard wall, unconscious.

The little devils who hid behind the courtyard wall and half-crouched and stood were the worst, and the flying grenade fragments did not encounter any resistance, easily pierced their backs and took their lives.

"Bang ......"

Three signal flares suddenly rose into the air and exploded, attracting the attention of everyone on the battlefield.

Except for the three little devils who had been surrounded by the independent battalion, the remaining two little devils did not stop, and immediately turned around and began to retreat.

"Company commander, the little devils attacking us are retreating!" The platoon commander of the independent company found Zhao Wen and reported.

Zhao Wen was stunned for a moment, and then his whole face became hot: "What is the little devil when we are in an independent camp?" Come if you want, leave when you want, how can there be such a good thing! ”

"Order: Independence even give me as long as the soldiers who can still move, and chase down the retreating troops of the little devils. Seize the last chance to kill one more devil if you can! ”

"First and second platoons, firepower squads, head-on pursuit! forced the little devil to stay behind the army. Three rows spread all over the courtyard, at least I have to eat the troops behind the little devil palace! ”

The Japanese army assembly place in Dongtian Village, Watanabe Nakasa's heart has long been raised to his throat.

Holding binoculars in both hands, he stared at the entrance of the village motionlessly.

After giving the signal to retreat, the gunfire in the village not only did not weaken, but became more and more dense.

Watanabe knew that this was the Eighth Route Army in the village fighting back, and he didn't want the attacking troops he sent to easily withdraw from the village.

The brows that were already twisted were furrowed, and after thinking about all this, the brows furrowed even deeper.

Then he kept an eye on the entrance of the village, praying that the troops in the village would withdraw a few more people.

"Sir, some troops have withdrawn!" The adjutant's heart also rose to his throat, and he was even happier to see someone rushing out than he was to eat preserves, and he exclaimed with excitement.

A smile also flashed across Watanabe's face.

But soon his face returned to seriousness.

A reinforced squad of more than 70 imperial troops only rushed out of more than 30 people, which means that this infantry squad suffered more than half of the casualties in less than an hour of street fighting, and also lost a heavy machine gun!

"Sir, another troop has rushed out!" The adjutant shouted.

Seeing this unit, Watanabe Nakasa's face looked a lot better.

There were more than fifty people in nearly seventy imperial troops, and two heavy machine guns were also intact!

The reason why the losses were so small was not how strong their combat strength was, but that his opponent, the Independent Battalion Baggage Company, was too weak.

In order to reduce casualties, they were dealt with only by arranging tricks, and did not fight hard.

When they retreated, they did not send troops to intercept them, and they were the easiest Japanese troops in the entire street fighting!

The good mood on Watanabe's face lasted less than half a minute before disappearing again.

The troops of the Third Route Imperial Army rushed out of the village like a lost dog, very embarrassed.

The Eighth Route Army, which was closely following behind, did not chase out of the village because of the concern for the artillery in their hands, but the light machine guns they were equipped with were not idle, and they fired at the retreating troops.

The three imperial soldiers were beaten into a sieve in response, and Watanabe Nakasa could even clearly see the despair and unwillingness on the faces of the three soldiers.

Chasing his subordinates under his nose, Watanabe's every move was a slap in the face, and his anger surged all of a sudden, and he scolded: "The independent battalion is too arrogant, we must teach them a lesson!" ”

"The artillery immediately opened fire at the entrance of the village and killed the pursuers just now......"

Seeing that the sound of guns and cannons in the village had slowly stopped, Watanabe Nakasa knew that even if the imperial army that had not yet withdrawn had been wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, there was not much left.

Continue to command.

"Mountain artillery and infantry artillery continue to fire, I want to use shells to raze the village to the ground and kill all the Eighth Route Army inside!"

"The shelling can't be stopped without my orders!"

After the order to shell was given, not a single devil rushed out of the village.

At this time, the adjutant came over with a lieutenant with a very unsightly face.

"Sir, this is the highest-ranking of all the imperial troops withdrawn from the village, the deputy captain of the third squadron!"

"Hello sir!" The lieutenant lowered his head and did not dare to look at Watanabe, and it took a long time before he replied.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on in the village?"

"Two infantry squadrons, one heavy machine gun squadron, more than 400 imperial troops were killed, and in the end, more than 100 people were withdrawn, not even a third, and heavy weapons were also lost!"

"Sir's anger!" The lieutenant did not dare to hide it, and 1510 told all his experiences in the village.

Then he stared at Watanabe and proposed, "The Eighth Route Army hiding in the village is too cunning, and it has been prepared for a long time. Not only can the stone wall between the courtyard and the courtyard be opened up, so that every corner of the village can be killed unimpeded, but also familiar with the terrain! ”

"We rushed in, and we couldn't defend ourselves against the elusive attack of the Eighth Route Army."

"Many warriors who have died in battle do not know where the enemy who killed them is hiding until they close their eyes!"

"Sir, you must avenge the warriors who died in the battle and kill all the Eighth Route Army in the village!"

Watanabe Nakasa's face was very ugly, staring at the village in front of him that was filled with gunsmoke and explosions, no one knew what he was thinking!

"Sir, the casualties have been counted!" The adjutant spoke at the right time.

"The imperial army that entered the village lost a total of 296 people, plus the troops left behind at the entrance of the village, there are still 126 people left in the two infantry squadrons, just two full infantry squads!"

"The heavy machine gun squadron suffered the greatest losses, only three of the twelve heavy machine guns were brought out, and the machine gunners withdrew less than a third, which is not enough for a heavy machine gun squad!"

"Now we still have two infantry squads left in the first squadron, two infantry squads left in the third and fourth squadrons, the guard team, and all the combat units combined are less than four hundred!"
