"Report to the sir, the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army has been suppressed by us." The communications officer of the artillery squadron rushed over and reported.

"Sir, reinforcements have arrived to the west of the village. Under the artillery interception, no Eighth Route Army rushed out, but our troops defending the west of the village suffered heavy casualties, and nearly an infantry squad was disabled! One of the infantrymen messengers rushed over and reported with a look of rejoicing.

Shao Zuo also had a happy smile on his face.

"Yo Xi, fortunately, we reacted quickly enough, otherwise the Eighth Route Army surrounded by us in the village would definitely have succeeded in breaking through."

"An infantry squad has been badly damaged, and as long as they attack with all their might, they can rush out of the village with a single attack. At that time, this Eighth Route Army will become as cunning as loaches, and it will definitely be very difficult to catch them again. ”

"By the way, how are the attacking troops, have they entered the village?"

"If the enemy wants to break through from the west of the village, the main forces must have been concentrated in the west of the village, and now the attack will definitely be easy to enter the village."

"Sir, wise."

Before Shao Zuo finished speaking, an infantry squadron leader rushed over, panting and complimenting.

"The troops have indeed entered the village, and they have hardly encountered the blocking troops of the Eighth Route Army."

The smile on Shao Zuo's face became even stronger, and he immediately said: "It seems that our judgment just now is right, the Eighth Route Army is really going to break through from the west of the village, and the troops have been assembled to the west of the village." ”

"Pass my order, the troops speed up the assault, quickly insert to the west of the village, and encircle and annihilate the enemy in the west of the village."

"The Eighth Route Army is good at guerrilla warfare, and street warfare and guerrilla warfare have a lot in common."

"If we let them disperse again to every corner of the village, we will definitely pay a big price if we want to occupy the village little by little and eliminate them."

"This is also a very important reason why I besieged them before and did not attack them, and waited for dawn to bomb them with planes."

"Now that they are concentrated in the west of the village, it is a great opportunity for us to surround and annihilate them."

"The troops seized the time to storm and surround them in the west of the village, and then the artillery opened fire, first bombarding the west of the village, razing all the houses there, and then the infantry was assaulting, destroying the remnants of the enemy and ending the battle."

In a house in the center of the village, the company commander hid here with a disabled guard squad and a supplementary squad.

The leader of the reconnaissance squad lay motionless on the roof, observing the surroundings.

"Company commander, the nearest Japanese puppet army is less than fifty meters away from us, and it just happened to rush towards our pocket formation, there are five devils and more than a dozen second dogs."

"Eat them." The company commander made a decisive decision.

"A veteran with two reinforcements, veterans with guns, replenishments with grenades and grenades, fire together at my command."

"Da Da Da ......"

The light machine gun fired first, and the bullet flew towards the devil in the middle of the group.

The company commander held the box cannon in his hand, pointed it at the two devils, and pulled the trigger and did not let go.

In the blink of an eye, half of the magazine was emptied.

Ten bullets flew towards them in a fan shape, and under the cover of night, the trajectory of the bullets was like a meteor, and they could be seen clearly.

The other veterans aimed at the remaining devil, and several bullets flew at the target at the same time from different directions.

Caught off guard and attacked, the Japanese puppet army simply did not have time to react.

Gunshots rang out, and the five devils were all killed and fell in a pool of blood.

More than a dozen grenades and grenades also appeared above the devil's head at this time, and in the explosion, the figures of more than a dozen puppet soldiers were instantly drowned in the smoke of gunpowder.

The sound of gunfire here is like a fuse that ignites a powder keg.

Before the second round of bullets from the guard squad could be fired, the village became lively.

"Dada...... Bang bang bang...... Boom ......"

Gunshots and explosions immediately rang out and went on and on.

The devil who was guarding outside the village was Shao Zuomeng.

From the sound of the firefight, it can be concluded that the opponent's forces had at least one company and were scattered over a large area within 50 meters of the center of the village.

According to his judgment just now, the main force of the Eighth Route Army has gathered to the west of the city, ready to break through at any time. Even if there were troops in the village, they would be one of the few troops in the rear of the palace, and it would be impossible for them to exert such fierce firepower.

But the reality is quite the opposite.

His face quickly turned pale, and he cried out in a lost voice: "It's not good, we were fooled." ”

"The Eighth Route Army was not concentrated in the west of the village, it was everywhere."

"The breakthrough from the west of the village is probably an illusion, forcing us to attack the village and then fighting with us in the streets."

"Dada...... Boom Boom Boom ......"

The sound of gunfire and explosions became more and more intense, and Shao Zuo's face became several points solemn.

His eyes were glued to the village, and he looked anxious.

Hoping that someone will rush out and tell themselves what is going on in the village?

"Sir, someone has rushed out!"

The leader of a squadron of infantry suddenly shouted.

"Report sir, we've been fooled!" Shao Zuo was guarding at the entrance of the village, and the other party rushed over in a few seconds, and when he saw Shao Zuo, he gasped and reported.

"The Eighth Route Army ambushed a large number of troops in the center of the village, definitely more than one company, and also used the houses in the village to arrange a large number of pocket formations, and we were killed by them in several battles of annihilation, and the troops suffered heavy casualties."

"However, the casualties of the Eighth Route Army are also very large."

"Although they have a large number of troops, their combat effectiveness is not strong, and they only occupy the advantage of the terrain."

"So in terms of casualties, we played a tie for the time being."

"But as the battle lengthens, it will definitely be us, who are more combative, who will win in the end."

Shao Zuo had a calm face and quickly made a decision: "Retreat." ”

"The troops will withdraw from the village immediately, and we will not fight."

"This is obviously a conspiracy, the opponent's combat effectiveness is not strong, it is obviously a local force, the Eighth Route Army wants to use a small number of main forces and a large number of local troops to fight street battles to consume us a lot, and the main force remains to guard the base area. If we had paid a huge price here to eliminate them, on the surface we would have won the battle, but in terms of the situation, we would have lost the battle. ”

"Because after this battle, we don't have enough troops to attack their base area."

The squadron leader also reacted at this time, and shouted in a lost voice: "What a cunning Eighth Route Army, if it weren't for the commander's reminder, we would definitely be fooled." ”

"Humble duty, give the order to the attacking troops to retreat now."

"Since their breakthrough is fake, then we will besiege them without attacking, block them in the village, and bomb them with planes when it is dawn."

"The Eighth Route Army wants to consume us a lot with street fighting, but we are not as good as they want and do not give them a chance to succeed."

"Immediately send a signal and order the attacking troops not to fight, quickly disengage from the Eighth Route Army, cover each other, withdraw from the village alternately, and continue to encircle the Eighth Route Army inside."
