Chapter 718: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas and Yellow Sparrows Are Behind (First Update!) )

"Battalion commander, or we divide our forces to protect these task forces!" The instructor hesitated and reminded!

Huang Sheng resolutely refused: "No! ”

"Until these hidden enemies are completely destroyed, the troops must not be divided!"

"According to the intelligence, before our attack, every village and town in Laiyuan had a maintenance association, and there were traitors who worked for the little devils!"

"Lingqiu City is so big, there must be five or six hundred people in total!"

"Now they are hiding in the dark, we are in the light, and the division of troops at this time is to give them each chance to defeat us!"

"And no one knows if there are little devils among these hidden enemies!"

"If there is, we divide our troops again, and that is to find death by ourselves!"

The instructor was anxious and immediately asked, "What should I do then?" You can't ignore the safety of the team! ”

"Of course!" Huang Sheng replied in the affirmative!

Then a pair of eyes began to glow: "Fishing instructor, you should know, since these enemies are hiding around us, then I will put bait to fish them out, and then gather and destroy them!" ”

"Tomorrow we will act, using the action team as bait to attract the enemy to be fooled!"

"The main force follows the decoy, and as soon as the enemy emerges, immediately surround it, gather and annihilate it!"

"As long as we eliminate one or two groups of enemies and make the people believe that we can help them get rid of these local snakes and scourges, I believe that there will definitely be people who will stand up and help us!"

At five o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Huang Sheng received good news!

The first battle of the Seventh Company was victorious, using fishing tactics to kill a team of maintenance thugs and kill six traitors!

"Battalion commander, your method works!"

The instructor's nerves, which had been tense for a day, finally relaxed, and he said with a long sigh of relief.

Although this result is very small, the fact that the troops can achieve victory is of great significance to the current situation in which the situation cannot be broken!

Report ......

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of the report sounded at the door again, and the herald of the eighth company also rushed in with a smile!

"Report to the battalion commander, instructor! We used fishing tactics to successfully eliminate eight enemies at noon today, all of whom were traitors who worked for the little devils! ”

Two good news in a row followed, showing that your fishing methods really worked!

Huang Sheng no longer hesitated, and ordered very decisively: "Tell your company commander to continue to fight with the same tactics tomorrow!" ”

"If the enemy is fooled, destroy it resolutely! If the enemy is not fooled, assist the task force to capture a village and take complete control of a village! ”

An hour later, the Ninth Company also sent good news!

For the first time in a few days, Huang Sheng had a good night's sleep!

At the same time, Huang Sheng's fishing tactics also spread to Laiyuan City!

Using traitor spies to attack the Eighth Route Army and obstruct the Eighth Route Army from establishing a base has just taken effect, and the devil will definitely not watch the Eighth Route Army crush it!

"Eight Grid Yalu, the cunning Eighth Route Army, this time I not only want to defeat you, so that your purpose cannot succeed, but also let you lose your troops and generals, and lose your wife and soldiers!" After listening to the report of his subordinates, the commander of the Japanese garrison in Laiyuan City directly scolded with a murderous expression!

"Sir, what are we going to do!" The squadron leaders under his command are all eager to try, and they can't wait to kill them now!

Although the retreat a few days ago was ordered by the military headquarters, it was a shame to abandon so many strongholds without firing a single shot, in the eyes of the arrogant Japanese army!

So everyone was holding back their anger on the way to retreat, and there was nowhere to vent!

After the commander finished scolding, they immediately realized that the commander would not be restrained in this matter, and they smelled the smell of war!

The commander did not hide it, and replied with a sneer: "There is an old saying in China, what is the name of the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches, and today the Imperial Army of the Japanese Empire will come to be a yellow finch!" ”

"The first squadron and the second squadron of the infantry, bring all the equipment and ammunition, and each squadron will bring three heavy mortars, secretly go out of the city, and kill the two Eighth Route Army closest to the county seat!"

"Remember, when you go out of the city, you can't go through the city gate, just go out over the wall!"

"The garrison regiment must have arranged scouts outside the city, as long as we open the city gate, they will know that we have troops to go out, and when the time comes, not only will they not be able to be this yellow sparrow, but if they don't do well, they will become praying mantis and be wiped out by the garrison outside the city!"

As soon as the morning dawned, a six-member team set off from Dongzhuang and headed along the highway in the direction of Yougang Village, 10 kilometers away!

There was the second village they were going to control!

When two kilometers away from the village, when the team was no longer visible, a team of Eighth Route Army gathered at the entrance of Dongzhuang Village one after another!

In less than a minute, a reinforced company of nearly two hundred people was assembled, and then marched in the direction of Yau Gang Village in full gear!

"Bang bang...... Bang bang bang ......"

After walking for less than an hour, gunshots rang out on the road ahead!

"The task force must have been attacked...... The enemy has taken the bait again! The leading company commander's eyes lit up and judged!

Then he began to give orders: "The left flank of the first platoon is outflanked, the right flank of the second platoon is outflanked in a roundabout way, and the others are on the road with me, so let's go now, kill the past, kill the enemy, and rescue the team!" ”

The team of nearly two hundred people quickly split into three and rushed to the battlefield!

Two kilometers away, on the high ground, a devil captain stood on it and witnessed all this with his own eyes!

Seeing the garrison regiment rushing to the battlefield, a sneer quickly flashed at the corner of the captain's mouth!

Put down the binoculars and start giving the order: "Troops are ready for battle!" ”

"A squad with a heavy machine gun outflanked the left flank, a second squad with a heavy machine gun on the right flank flank outflanked, the artillery squad, the third squad and the remaining heavy machine gun pressed against me head-on!"

"The troops use the sound of artillery as a signal to attack on time, the artillery does not go off, and no one can expose the target in advance!"

"Bang bang...... Dadada......"

The speed of the garrison regiment was very fast, and in less than ten minutes, a huge encirclement was formed!

The company commander closest to the battlefield shoots first, attracting the enemy's attention and reducing the combat pressure of the task force!

More than a dozen traitor spies were obviously frightened by the reinforcements that came so quickly, and their firepower weakened at that time!

But their response was quick!

They never thought of fighting to the death, but when they saw that the situation was not good, they put away their weapons and began to retreat!

"The troops pressed up, there was a second row in front of them, and they would definitely not be able to run!" The company commander decisively ordered!

These people are not real troops after all, and a dozen or so people are quickly surrounded by regiments and in a desperate situation!

The Devil Squadron Leader followed the middle of the team and kept approaching the battlefield!

At this moment, they have formed a larger encirclement on the periphery of the battlefield!

Seeing that people were constantly being killed in the middle of the encirclement, but the squadron leader still had an indifferent expression, the deputy captain couldn't help but remind: "Sir, if you don't shoot again, those people in the encirclement will be killed!" ”

"Although they are not the Imperial Army, they are for the Imperial Army after all!"

The squadron leader shook his head and refused: "No, wait a little longer!" ”

"Our encirclement is too big, our forces are too scattered, if the Eighth Route Army concentrates its forces to break through, it only needs a surprise attack to rush out, and the ambush battle will turn into a rout battle, and this result is not what the commander wants!"

"The troops continue to approach the battlefield and narrow the encirclement!"

"The artillery can set up artillery, three heavy mortars, three light mortars, all set up, aim at the place with a lot of people on the battlefield, and strive for a round of fire strikes to kill half of their troops, disrupt them, and lose the ability to break through!"

"As for those Chinese in the encirclement, if they die, they will die, no pity!"

"On the surface, they are fighting for the imperial army, but in fact they are fighting for themselves, keeping their property, status, and wealth in Laiyuan!"

"Because our enemies are all the Eighth Route Army, they are so willing to obey the orders of the imperial army!"

"If there are no common interests and enemies, these people will definitely go against the imperial army!"

"And their death may not be without benefit to the imperial army!"

"China lacks everything, but there is no shortage of people!"

"In addition to them, there are countless Chinese in Laiyuan who want to work for the imperial army!"

"When they die, it's a big deal for the imperial army to support a group of people to come up, lest these people keep growing and growing, and finally become entrenched in the local area, and they can't get rid of the tail and get out of the control of the imperial army, then it will be troublesome!"

The leader of the devil squadron not only fights, but also has a certain political vision!

After listening to the squadron leader's analysis, the deputy directly showed a stunned and shocked expression!

Then it slowly became a sudden realization, and said very flatteringly: "Sir Yingming, you are still thoughtful, and you didn't think so much about your humble position at all!" ”

"Da Da Da ......"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of machine gun fire came!

The expression on the squadron leader's face sank suddenly: "It's our machine guns shooting, there must be troops exposed!" ”

"You can fight now, otherwise the Eighth Route Army will definitely be on guard!"

"Artillery fire, start fighting!"

"Boom ......"

The dull sound of shelling soon sounded behind him, and as soon as the screaming sound reached his ears, a large amount of black smoke rose from the battlefield a few hundred meters away, and immediately after, the sound of explosions came!

On the battlefield, the terrain is very complicated, full of low hills and ravines, but the heavy mortars still give full play to their power!

In the explosion, the Eighth Route Army within a radius of more than ten meters fell in response, and then there was no movement!

Under the watchful eye of the squadron leader, a heavy mortar shell smashed over, and at least one squad of the Eighth Route Army was reimbursed!

As soon as the cannon rang out, so did the gunfire, with the sound of light and heavy machine gun fire, and the sound of rifle fire, all around the battlefield!

A smile slowly appeared on the corner of the squadron leader's mouth!

He was very satisfied with the effect of the surprise attack in front of him, and shouted: "The artillery fired two more rounds of shells, and then the heavy machine guns covered, and the troops began to attack forward, continue to narrow the encirclement, and eliminate the remaining Eighth Route Army!" ”

The company commander was blinded, and when he saw that there were soldiers around him who were constantly blown up, he screamed and turned into corpses, and his face turned pale directly!

I didn't calculate that this is also a trap set by the devil, and I have to annihilate myself!

Seeing that the devil began to attack and the encirclement continued to shrink, he knew that the time left for him by the devil was running out!

Although I really want to fight the devil to the end here and avenge the sacrificed subordinates!

But reason calmed him down.

With the idea that the seventh company could not be defeated in his own hands, the company commander finally made the decision to break through!
