The battle and the judgment of the squadron leader seemed to be exactly the same.

The gunfire lasted only ten minutes before it stopped, and apart from a few grenade explosions, not a single light machine gun entered the battle.

If there was the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the village, the three machine guns equipped by the three squads would definitely participate in the battle.

Now that he has not participated in the war, it shows that Li Zhuang only has some guerrillas with weak combat effectiveness, and there is no main force of the Eighth Route Army.

With this in mind, the squadron leader was very sure that the three squads had eliminated the guerrillas in the village, and at this moment they were arresting unarmed civilians.

Their eyes were fixed on the entrance of the village, waiting for them to drive a large number of people out of the village.

A minute passed, and there was no movement at the entrance of the village.

Five minutes have passed, and there is no movement at the entrance of the village......

At this time, the baggage team had already rushed to the position of more than 100 meters away from the entrance of the village, and the squadron leader looked at the entrance of the village and wanted to see through, but he did not look forward to the third team.

A hint of bad premonition quickly came to my heart, and a deep worried expression appeared on my face.

There are so many people under his hands, more than half of the casualties of the first squad of the striker, if the third squad also has an accident, it is equivalent to more than half of the direct casualties of the entire escort force, and the soldiers who can still fight are less than half of the soldiers before departure.

If there is any accident in the next march, it will definitely be a catastrophe for the baggage team......

The squadron leader didn't dare to continue thinking about it, and ordered with a gloomy look: "The reconnaissance detachment will immediately enter the village to investigate and find out what is going on inside?" Why hasn't the three squads come out yet, I want to see people in life and corpses in death. ”

A dozen devils hurried into the village, and after two minutes, gunshots began to come from the village, and then the village fell silent.

A dozen scouts seemed to be missing, and they would not come out again.

"Sir, this village is too evil!" The second lieutenant of the second squad said with a worried face.

"The imperial army can't get out if it goes in, there must be a large number of Eighth Route Army hidden inside, waiting for us to kill ourselves and throw ourselves into the net."

In the face of the facts, the squadron leader had to believe that something had happened to the third squad.

stared at the entrance of the village with a pair of red eyes, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and scolded: "No matter how many Eighth Route Army troops are hidden inside, I will pay for the blood debt and avenge the warriors who died in the battle just now." ”

"Immediately contact the plane in the sky to escort us, I will raze this village to the ground."

The village is so big that it is certainly impossible for one plane to blow up the entire village.

After six thick clouds of black smoke rose in the village, the bombardment ended.

The second lieutenant thought that the next attack was to pick up the bargain, and immediately asked for battle: "Captain, the humble post now leads people to kill them, maybe he can catch a few prisoners." ”

"As long as the Chinese can take us hostage, open the way for us, and force the Eighth Route Army to give up the use of landmines."

"Yes!" The squadron leader was also confident in the bombing just now, and nodded in agreement.

Six bombs fell from the sky, and although the guard company had prepared for air defense in advance, and the troops were dispersed as much as they could, more than half of the casualties were still imposed.

Even so, the strength is still more than one infantry squad of the devils, and the firepower is more than twice as much as theirs.

As soon as the fifty or so devils entered the village, gunshots rang out.

This time, there was not only the sound of infantry machine gun firing, but also the sound of heavy machine gun strafing, which was very dense, and when it came up, it gave the devil a dismount.

"Send a counterattack signal to the guard company, there are not many devils on the road, and the troops will directly kill them and attack the baggage team." Near the battlefield, Zhao Wen stared at Li Zhuang who was in thick smoke and ordered.

"Woooooooooo......oo Horn ......"

Seconds later, a red flare lifted off and exploded.

The gunfire in the village intensified, and there were even two explosions.

"Order the baggage company to disperse and attack in squads, and kill the devil's baggage team, the faster the better." Zhao Wen stared at the battlefield and continued to order.

"The firepower company is on standby, and wherever there are many little devils gathered, they will shoot artillery to cover the attack of the baggage company."

The battlefield was changing so fast that the squadron leader was dizzying, and his ears were full of gunfire and bad news reported by his subordinates.

"Captain, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army in the village is too fierce, and it is also equipped with mortars, and the three squads are not opponents, they are fighting and retreating." A Cao Chang rushed over and reported.

"Da Da Da ......"

Suddenly there was a burst of gunfire from the rear of the baggage team, and the squadron leader hurriedly raised his binoculars.

Out of nowhere, a platoon of the Eighth Route Army, armed with rifles and light machine guns, approached the baggage squad in a skirmish line, attacking and shooting at the same time.

More than a dozen baggage soldiers hid behind the cart and counterattacked.

The counterattack firepower was obviously not at the same level, and the gunfire rang out one after another, but the Eighth Route Army killed very few.

Just when he was hesitating whether to send troops over for reinforcements, Cao Changhuo, a member of the baggage team, rushed over in a hurry and reported anxiously.

"Captain, the Eighth Route Army has also been killed in the middle of the baggage team!"

"Captain, the Eighth Route Army in the village has come out and is coming towards us, and the second squad has more than half of the casualties, so they can't stop them at all." The second lieutenant of the first squad next to him shouted, his face full of fear.

"We also have the Eighth Route Army in the east." Not far away, a military cao shouted.

"Boom, boom, boom......" Three mortar shells fell from the sky and smashed into the forward squad assembly area.

Black smoke rose, flames flew, and at least five soldiers were blown away in the explosion, their lives uncertain.

The squadron leader panicked, the situation deteriorated too quickly.

The most critical problem is that I don't have soldiers in my hands.

The second squad was too busy to take care of itself, and the first squad suffered more than half of the casualties, and now it was being targeted by artillery again, with a heavy machine gun squad and a mortar squad around it, and its field combat capability was very poor.

As for the baggage team, they were scattered in a one-kilometer stretch of baggage team, and there was no time to assemble at all, so they had to fight on their own.

The squadron leader racked his brains to think of a way that he thought was the safest, and ordered at the top of his voice.

"The heavy machine gun squad reinforces the baggage troops in the middle of the baggage team and resolutely repels the Eighth Route Army."

"The artillery immediately set up artillery to counterattack the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, covering the first and second squads to move closer to me."

"Contact the aviation to attack the Eighth Route Army attacking behind the baggage brigade and kill them."

The entire battle was calculated by Zhao Wen, and no matter how the Japanese army struggled, it was in vain.

As for the aircraft that the squadron leader had high hopes for, it was also in Zhao Wen's calculations.

After a total of six bombs were thrown into Li Zhuang, the plane did not have any other killing weapons except for aviation machine guns.

Aviation machine guns can cause a large number of casualties to dense crowds, which Zhao Wenmen is clear, so the order he gave to the baggage company specifically emphasized that the troops should be dispersed when attacking, and the purpose was to reduce the threat of aircraft and aviation machine guns to the attacking troops.

As long as the troops avoid the plane's strafing once or twice, rush onto the highway and strangle the devils, the plane will be useless.

At that time, the independent battalion will be able to lock the battle situation in advance and completely take down the baggage team.
