Before dusk, Zhou Yu followed Wang Laohan's empty carriage and left the stronghold of Pingdao Village safely.

Saying goodbye to Wang Laohan and a few people halfway, Zhou Yu hurried to the direction of the village as soon as he slipped away.

On the way back, he soon met several old immortals who had come to pick him up, and learned that the devil had escorted the villagers back to the village not long ago.

After walking along the quiet mountain path for a while, under the leadership of the old immortal, Zhou Yu came to a hillside near the mountain road.

By the afterglow before sunset, the old immortal pointed to this area within a radius of several hundred meters.

"Instructor, from here to the south, bypassing the two hills, is the location of the stronghold built by the company commander, and going north less than two miles, is the Hirado Village that Kiko and the others are staring at.

This is the narrowest position between the village and the stronghold, and an ambush here is definitely enough for a little devil to drink a pot. ”

"I've already had the big tiger set up an ambush position on the opposite hillside, and I'm going to take five platoons to ambush here this time. When the time comes, we will arrange all the light machine guns at both ends of the position to fire cross-fire to ensure that there is enough for these turtle grandsons to drink a pot. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu looked at the mountain opposite and nodded with satisfaction.

"But instructor, although this terrain is conducive to ambushes, there is a big hole at the moment."

Suddenly hearing the old immortal say this, Zhou Yu suddenly looked puzzled.

"It's a little dark, instructor, you can understand it carefully along the opposite hill."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu hurriedly raised his glasses and looked in the direction of the old immortal's guidance.

"Old Wu, this valley is a bit wide....... And ......, well! It can't be a ditch, right? ”

Touching the old face full of ravines, the old immortal nodded lightly.

"You're right, there is a ditch, hidden behind the grass at the foot of the mountain."

Holding up his glasses and looking at them carefully for a while, Zhou Yu quickly discovered the big problem here.

"This should be a ......ditch created by the rain flowing down the mountain road, if the Japanese puppet army hides inside and guards it, then it will be difficult for us to eat them in one go."

Speaking of fighting here, Zhou Yu raised his glasses and looked carefully, and Zhou Yu quickly discovered the problem of this ambush site.

Due to the perennial flash floods, there is a clear deep ditch or dry riverbed under the west side of the mountain.

Although the ditch is not very deep, it is a natural shelter. Worst of all, the dry ditch flowed down from the north and circled the western hills, eventually disappearing between the western mountains.

In other words, the Japanese could easily go around the ditch to the flank of the hill on the west side, so that they could attack the four platoons on the hill, and retreat from here to the mountain to avoid the ambush. It can be said to be the biggest weakness of this ambush war.

"There is a big problem with this ditch, and it is likely that the devil will be let go if it fights."

Turning around and looking at the old immortal, Zhou Yu's brows were twisted together for a while.

"Is there nowhere else to ambush?"

Shaking his head, the old immortal glanced around and then took a puff on his pipe.

"The distance between Pingdao Village and the stronghold is only a few twists and turns, and other than that, the other locations are either too open, or they are under the noses of the two-headed devils, so it's not as good as here."

Looking at the anxious Zhou Yu, the old immortal swallowed the clouds and spit out a few mouthfuls of mist and licked his lips.

"If we want to eat the devil's reinforcements happily, we have to count on that kid from Qi Baoshan."

"You mean the second row?"

"Well, I've seen it, and although that ditch can dodge bullets, it can't dodge grenades from grenades. If they get in and be shrunken turtles, they'll be a live target for grenadiers! ”

However, looking at the old immortal's determined eyes, Zhou Yu hesitated for a while.

"If that's the case, then the only force responsible for the feint attack on Pingdao Village is Heiwa's platoon. If the devil finds out that it is not right to hedge out of the village to increase the number of people, it will be troublesome. ”

Zhou Yu's previous idea was that the first platoon and the second platoon, equipped with grenadiers, were responsible for feints to attack Pingdao Village. While attracting devils to help, it can also block the Japanese puppet army in the village and can't get out of the village. However, if the second platoon is transferred, the number of troops to feint and attack the village will be too small. After all, there is still at least one detachment of devils and more than 20 puppet soldiers in Pingdao Village, in case they find out that something is wrong and rush out to cause trouble, Heiwa They are likely to be unable to stop it.

Once Heiwa has a mistake there, his side will face the attack of the Japanese puppet army, and there will be big problems at that time.

According to Zhao Shixun's analysis for him, Zhou Yu estimated that the defensive strength of this generation of enemies should be a puppet army of disgruntled devil squads and three platoons.

Judging from the strength alone, the Seventh Company actually did not have an advantage, and even suffered a slight loss.

If it weren't for the scattered stationing of the Japanese puppet army and giving the Seventh Company a chance, Zhou Yu and they would not have been able to do it at all.

And although the Seventh Company occupied the advantage of encircling the point to send reinforcements, in order to prevent accidents, Zhou Yu had to send three platoons to monitor near the stronghold and block the devil reinforcements that might come from the direction of the stronghold.

Coupled with the platoon that feinted to attack Pingdao Village, the strength that the Seventh Company could actually use to fight an ambush could not survive three platoons that were not satisfied.

Seeing that Zhou Yu was still hesitating, the old immortal sighed, walked up to Zhou Yu and said seriously:

"I know you're worried that they won't be able to withstand the black baby, but if we can't kill the devil puppet army who came to increase the number of troops with one punch, then not only will we not be able to save the company commander, but we will also be glued to these turtle sons and they will not be able to get out."

"Instructor, as the saying goes, you have to hit a snake with seven inches. If he can't be killed with a stick, he will bite him hard sooner or later. ”

Hearing what the old immortal said, Zhou Yu's face tightened, and he nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay, I'll transfer the second row back for you. But tomorrow as soon as there is a fight, I don't care what method you use, you must eat them for me in twenty minutes!" ”

"What does the instructor mean that I will command the battle of the next one?"

Suddenly, seeing Zhou Yu looking at him solemnly, the old immortal suddenly felt a little worried in his heart.

"Well, tomorrow's ambush battle will be fully responsible for you, Lao Wu, and I will take Heiwa to make a feint to cover you."

"What? It's not good. I think it's better to change the two, I'm responsible for feints to attack Pingdao Village, and the instructor is responsible for sending reinforcements. ”

Hearing that Zhou Yu planned to personally lead a row of feints to attack Pingdao Village, the old immortal suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Everyone knows that it will definitely be a vicious battle to contain the Japanese puppet army in the village with a dissatisfied army.

"That's it! Don't waste any more time on this. The position is selected by you, and it must be the one you are most familiar with. This ambush battle is under your command, carry out the order! ”

“…… Be. ”

……

Ten o'clock at night.

In the moonlight, fifteen black shadows covered with branches and weeds quietly touched the light in the distance.

Since the area around Pingdao Village is too empty, it is too difficult to find the offensive position during the day.

In order to increase the suddenness and concealment of the attack the next day, Zhou Yu discussed it with Heiwa. It was decided to take advantage of the darkness to first touch a depression in the south of the village and hide it, and wait until it had avoided the team that left the village in the morning before launching a surprise attack, trying to block the devil puppet army in the village.

Although Pingdao Village is on the west side of the mountain road, the main entrance of the village is indeed open to the south.

After coming out of the main gate, there is a slope that descends from the dirt plain to the west, which is the only way to enter and exit the village.

Because the wall of the village in the west is too far from the below, it is not only easy to defend and difficult to attack, but also will be suppressed by the Japanese puppet army occupying the commanding heights.

After comprehensive consideration, Zhou Yu and the others decided to start from the south of the village.

It is very close to the road out of the village, and although it faces the main gate area, which is the most densely defended by the Japanese puppet army, there is a depression just below the slope of the village.

Due to the gathering of rain in summer, the weeds are unusually lush, although the area is not large, but as long as the concealment is good, it is not a problem to hide a dozen people at all.

However, although this place is conducive to concealment, it is very close to the main gate of the village, and the distance in a straight line is only sixty or seventy meters, and you can almost hear the voice of the Japanese puppet army on the wall. If you are not careful, you will inevitably be discovered by the enemy and your efforts will be wasted.

……

In the dark, Zhou Yu and the others stopped and stopped, and finally touched the depression at two o'clock in the morning.

As soon as they entered, everyone immediately felt that their eyes were dark, and the mosquitoes were almost rushing in their faces.

Due to the year-round rainwater accumulation, it has become a natural mosquito farm. Listening to the buzzing sound in front of them, many soldiers couldn't help but keep waving their hands to drive away the clumps of mosquitoes.

"Don't move! Beware of exposure! ”

Hearing Heiwa's shout, several soldiers hurriedly said angrily:

"Platoon commander, it's not that we don't understand discipline, it's just that there are too many mosquitoes, and we can't bite them."

Hearing this, Heiwa also realized the seriousness of the problem.

Let some mosquitoes bite wantonly all night, and everyone will have to shed their skin even if they don't die.

"Quick! There is dry mud on the ground, and the water and mud from the kettle are applied to the face and arms, so that you are not afraid of mosquito bites. ”

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred in her mind, and Heiwa suddenly remembered a local method to prevent mosquito bites when she was a child.

Hearing Heiwa say this, everyone immediately understood.

Soon, everyone, including the instructor Zhou Yu, smeared themselves like mud monkeys.

In this way, everyone can finally be afraid of mosquito bites, and quietly lurk in the grass under the noses of devils.

……

Nothing was said all night.

The sun rises in the east, but the light is blocked by the heavy clouds.

Although the sky was gloomy, the devil did not intend to let the villagers rest. At seven o'clock in the morning, with a piercing sound, the heavy wooden door of Pingdao Village was slowly pushed open, and a familiar team walked out from Zhou Yu and them again.

…… To be continued, thank you for the recommended tickets and monthly passes!
