Chapter 334: What a cunning Eighth Route Army! (Second Update!) )
A reinforced squad, with the cooperation of two heavy machine guns and a large number of grenades, broke through all the way, occupying six courtyards in three rows in a row.
"Covered by heavy machine guns, the troops detoured around the courtyard wall, smashed grenades inside, and then killed inside. Everyone should watch their feet and not go alone! The squadron leader pointed to the courtyard in front of him and ordered.
"Dada...... Boom ......"
After the violent gunshots and explosions ended, the devil Cao Chang rushed out with excitement.
"Sir, three corpses of the Eighth Route Army were found in the courtyard, we killed two warriors, seriously injured two, and lost four people!"
"Yo Xi!" The squadron leader was pleased with the result.
Before the attack, more than 70 imperial troops had already suffered more than one-third of the casualties all the way here, and with the losses just now, there were still a little more than 40 people left.
Although the casualties were a little larger, they were still within his bearings.
As long as the troops continue to maintain the momentum of this attack and take the back three courtyards, the Eighth Route Army will be compressed into the last two courtyards by itself, and then concentrate its firepower and gather and treacherous.
He drew his command knife and pointed to the next courtyard and ordered: "The troops continue to attack, and quickly take the next courtyard!" ”
"Hey!"
The second lieutenant squad leader replied excitedly.
Then he ordered the troops to quickly disperse and pounce on the courtyard.
"Dada...... Bang bang ......"
Suddenly, a burst of gunfire rang out behind him, and the screams of the soldiers reached the ears of the squadron leader.
More than a dozen machine gunners from the two heavy machine gun teams were all shot in the back and fell to the ground with a scream!
The squadron leader was shocked, glanced at the bare courtyard around him, and then saw that the Eighth Route Army was all hiding behind the courtyard wall and shooting at him, and immediately reacted and ordered!
"Baga, the enemy is attacking, there is an enemy behind us, immediately retreat to the courtyard just now!"
Less than thirty devils, dropping heavy machine guns, poured into the yard like lost dogs.
"Let's go over and block the rest of the devils in the yard!" Behind the courtyard wall, the commander of the guard company shouted at the top of his voice.
"Contact Erlian, let's eat this little devil together!"
"The first and second platoons, the machine gun squad, and the fire company cover the attack head-on and attract the attention of the little devils!"
"The third platoon brought grenades to attack in a roundabout way, digging holes in the courtyard next to them to attack the remaining devils~"
Outside Toda Village, Watanabe Nakasa also judged the battle situation by the sound of gunfire and explosions.
At the beginning, the mood was very good, and the imperial army, which was divided into six routes, covered each other, advanced layer by layer, and constantly compressed the space for the independent battalion to operate in the village.
In less than half an hour, half of the village was occupied by the imperial army.
Just when everyone thought that victory had begun to beckon to the Imperial Army, a particularly dense burst of gunfire and explosions came.
Watanabe Nakasa immediately raised his binoculars to look at the firefight.
But the terrain in the village is too complicated, with houses crisscrossed and stone walls everywhere.
Except for the sound of gunfire and explosions, he couldn't even see a figure.
"Sir, the gunfire has stopped, it must be the imperial army to destroy a unit of the Eighth Route Army!" The adjutant complimented.
The six infantry squads have been attacking for so long, and it has always been the imperial army that has been attacking like a bamboo, and all the devils have never thought that the imperial army will swing, and the same is true of Watanabe Nakasa.
After the adjutant compliment, Watanabe Nakasa's tense nerves relaxed significantly, and a smile reappeared on his face.
"Dada...... Boom ......"
The good mood didn't last long, and a more violent burst of gunfire rang out again.
"It must be our attacking troops blocking an Eighth Route Army and annihilating them!" The adjutant subconsciously judged.
"The gunfire is full of the sound of the Empire's Type 38 rifle and Type 92 heavy machine gun, it must be that the Imperial Army occupies an absolute advantage, encircling and suppressing the independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army hiding in the village!"
This time, Watanabe Nakasa didn't agree right away.
Although he couldn't see much with the help of the telescope, he still held the telescope and stared at the battlefield, trying to find some clues.
Soon, Watanabe's brows furrowed.
"Something is wrong!"
"The first shots rang out from behind our attacking troops!"
"The independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army is obviously in front of us, and it is being chased and beaten by our attacking troops, how can it run behind our attacking troops!"
The terrain of Dongtian Village is so complicated that everyone doesn't know what's really going on in the village.
The adjutant frowned and reminded: "Sir, the lowly post will immediately send someone into the village to find out the situation!" ”
Before Watanabe Nakasa could speak, a lieutenant next to him shouted, "Sir, someone is rushing towards us, it's the imperial army left behind at the entrance of the village!" ”
The second lieutenant gasped for breath and rushed over and shouted with a desperate face: "Sir, we have been fooled! ”
"The Eighth Route Army in the village is too cunning, I don't know how to touch behind our attacking troops and surprise our attacking troops!"
"There are already three infantry squads that have been flanked by the Eighth Route Army, relying on a few courtyards to wait for reinforcements, and they are in danger!"
"Nani?" Watanabe Nakasa was stunned for a moment.
Then he reacted suddenly: "I understand, the gunfire and explosion just now were not the imperial army's encirclement and annihilation of the Eighth Route Army, it was the Eighth Route Army's strategy to encircle and annihilate our troops all the way, open a breakthrough in our defense line, drill behind our attacking troops from the breakthrough, and attack our attacking troops from front to back!" ”
"What a cunning Eighth Route Army!"
"If we react a little slower, the few troops that enter the village will be wiped out by them if they don't do well!"
The adjutant also reacted and immediately asked, "Sir, what should we do next?" ”
"Retreat, order the attacking troops to withdraw from the village immediately!" Watanabe ordered without thinking.
"The artillery will open fire right away and cover their withdrawal!"
The leader of the artillery squadron hesitated for a moment and asked: "Sir, the terrain in the village is complicated, and the imperial army is also in the village, and now the artillery can't tell the enemy from the enemy at all, and it will definitely blow up your own people!" ”
Watanabe Nakasa's face sank and he ordered: "Fire at the area that the Imperial Army has not yet attacked and occupied!" ”
"Even if you can't blow up a few Eighth Route Army, harassing them can relieve a lot of pressure on our attacking troops!"
The leader of the artillery squadron lit up and said: "Hey, the artillery will open fire immediately!" ”
By digging holes, it took Xiao Yuan ten minutes to take the three rows to touch the room that was only one wall away from the devil.
Thinking that behind them was the courtyard where the devils were stationed, more than a dozen soldiers had excited expressions on their faces.
"Go to the roof, bring a grenade, throw a grenade into the yard from the roof, I want to blow up all the little devils in the yard!" Xiao Yuan ordered with a serious face.
The strong stone walls in the village provided the best cover for the independent battalion to fight in the streets, and it also became the best cover for the devils.
Compared with the Eighth Route Army, they were more adept at using these stone walls.
As soon as he retreated to the courtyard, the squadron leader ordered his subordinates to dig seven or eight shooting holes in the stone wall.
The only two remaining crooked handles shot through the shooting hole, not only repelled the two attacks of the independent battalion, but also killed and wounded seven or eight Eighth Route Army, and more importantly, their own casualties were very small, only one imperial soldier was killed and one was wounded!
