At this time, the large army of the Japanese army was still a long way away from the burning ditch, and it was no longer important whether the puppet army could reach the burning ditch on time. Eight? One? Chinese net? ≥≠≈.≥8=1≤Z=≈.COM the main task of the advance team of the Japanese army was reconnaissance and prevention.

Of course, reconnaissance is to reconnoiter whether the squadron has reached or passed the burning ditch, and the prevention is of course to prevent the people who burn the ditch from reporting to the squadron, so the Japanese army gathered the local people in the compound of the landlord's house.

If it was possible, the Japanese squad leader would have killed all the civilians in the burning ditch, but he knew that if he didn't shoot, it would be difficult to do so. If the shots are fired, maybe the ** squadron is not far from the burning ditch, and after hearing the gunshots, the ** squadron will definitely take a detour, and all their plans will be in vain.

However, the captain of the devil's squad did not know that an advance company of the squadron had already arrived at the periphery of the burning ditch, and the company commander was not in a hurry to let the troops enter the burning ditch, but arranged for a squad of soldiers to enter the burning ditch first to reconnoitre.

The wind gradually became lighter, the rain became lighter, but the air was cold, and for the soldiers in thin clothes, the rain-soaked bodies were very susceptible to colds, but they knew that compared to the cold, they were not completely out of danger.

The soldiers of a squad had already entered the burning ditch, and the difference between them and the little devil was only half an hour, but neither side knew the existence of the other.

"Squad leader, why is there no movement in the village at all?" A soldier with a gun in his hand cautiously looked through the closed gate of a fellow countryman's house into the courtyard, which was pitch black and without any lights, and he didn't know if the house was empty or if he was already sleeping.

The squad leader was a veteran who had experienced two battles, but it was the first time he had performed such a reconnaissance mission, and he did not have much experience, and his brows were furrowed.

"Look for two more yards ahead, remember to be careful, don't scare the fellow!" Before entering the village to reconnoitre, his company commander told him that he must be polite to the villagers in the village.

A few warriors nodded and began to continue walking towards the village, the village of Taihang Mountain has obvious characteristics, the courtyard walls are made of stones on the mountain, so some courtyard walls have large gaps, and you can look into the courtyard through the courtyard wall.

After looking at several courtyards in a row, they were all in the same situation, the courtyard was very dark, and there was no light. It was dark because of the rain, but it wasn't time to go to bed yet. The squad leader wondered, could it be that the people in this village had a different routine than other villages?

No results were detected, and the squad leader was very unwilling, and he continued to go deeper with his troops. When passing by the gate of a courtyard, the squad leader's heart suddenly became cold, a few points colder than the air at this time.

Because the door of this courtyard is wide open, and it is not a Datong society that is not left behind in the war years, even the villagers' homes will close the door during the day, and they are wary of any strangers entering the village. However, it was night, and the gate of the courtyard was just open, and the most important thing was that there was no light in the courtyard.

The squad leader made a gesture in the darkness to tell his soldiers that there was a situation, and the soldiers immediately crouched down against the corner, holding their guns and looking around vigilantly.

"Xiao Wang, go back the way you came, go out and tell the company commander that there may be enemies in the village!" The squad leader commanded a soldier beside him.

One of the fighters, having received the order, immediately left with his gun. However, what the squad leader didn't know was that when they continued to reconnoiter deeper, they had been targeted by the little devils.

"Squad leader, what should we do now?" A warrior asked nervously.

"Don't fucking mess with it!" The squad leader scolded the soldiers under him in a low and stern voice, "You two go to the courtyard to see what the situation is, remember to be vigilant." ”

When the squad leader who entered the village to reconnoiter this situation appeared, he felt that something was wrong, at this time they may have been targeted by the enemy in the shadows, in case there is really an enemy, at this time they can only retreat into this courtyard to hold on, and then wait for the company commander to come to support.

The rain continued to fall from the eaves, and the originally thick raindrops began to become denser, and the rain on the eaves fell on the muddy yard without hurry. Two soldiers entered the courtyard to make sure that there were no fellows in the room.

The squad leader entered the courtyard with the soldiers, waiting for the company commander to bring troops to support them.

"Why hasn't Xiao Wang come back yet?" The squad leader was in an impatient mood, five minutes had passed, and it was said that Xiao Wang should have notified the company commander.

"Squad leader, there is a figure on the courtyard wall ahead!" At this time, a soldier lying on the side of the wall said to the squad leader.

The squad leader was vigilant, and hurriedly moved to the wall to look in the direction pointed by the soldier, but the sky was too dark, and there was a drizzle falling, so it was not clear whether there were really people in that place.

"Stare to death, be careful!" The squad leader patted the soldier on the shoulder, he was not sure what was going on outside, maybe they were surrounded by now.

After the Japanese army infiltrated the village with a squadron, they did not act rashly, because they were not sure how many Chinese soldiers had infiltrated the village. Therefore, the Japanese army only killed Xiao Wang, who returned to report the news, and did not take further action.

Even if the Japanese army only had a dozen people in the squadron until they entered the village, this Japanese army squad was not sure that they would eat all these dozen people in a short period of time. The most important task is that they have to wait for the arrival of the large army, and they can't easily startle the snake, so they just stare at the squadron that entered the village in the dark, and they didn't act.

As the minutes passed, the cold air gradually invaded the bodies of the soldiers, and the thin and soaked clothes could no longer withstand the cold air, and the soldiers began to feel sleepy and tired.

"Squad leader, after such a long time, Xiao Wang may have ......" A soldier leaned over to the squad leader and whispered.

The squad leader had already expected this situation, so he didn't let the second soldier go out of the village to report the news, and now he only hoped that the company commander had been there for so long and they hadn't returned, and the village must be even more strange.

After waiting for ten minutes, the company commander of the advance company outside the village felt something unusual in the air, ten minutes was enough time for a squad of soldiers to finish reconnaissance, but after waiting for such a long time, the village in front of him was like a bottomless pit in the darkness without any movement, and as a company commander, his vigilance was of course much higher than that of the squad leader.

"One platoon surrounded from the left flank of the village, the second platoon encircled from the right flank of the village, and the third platoon followed me directly into the village!" The company commander decided not to wait any longer.

The troops began to gradually surround the village, and the company commander entered the village with a platoon of soldiers, but it was not long before a corpse appeared.

"Company commander, this is our soldiers, it's no longer good!" A soldier examined the body and reported it to the company commander.

The body lying on the ground was none other than Xiao Wang, who was pierced in the heart by an ambushed Japanese soldier on his way out of the village, and after a few minutes of convulsions, he closed his eyes.

"There are devils in the village, loaded with bullets, ready to fight at any time!"

The company commander knew that there must be devils in this village, so he had to be vigilant, find a squad that entered the village to reconnoiter as soon as possible, and then understand the situation, but the company commander was more worried that the soldiers of this squad might have been more than lucky.

However, the soldier who was defending in the courtyard showed the situation: "Squad leader, that shadow is gone!" ”

The squad leader immediately came to the wall, and now the black shadow on the wall did not exist: "There are devils in the village, we must have been surrounded, and now we should notify the company commander as soon as possible." ”

"Bang!"

A gunshot broke the silence of the rainy night, and everyone immediately fell to the ground when they heard the gunshots, including the little devil who had already learned of the situation.

"Company commander, the sound of gunfire is coming from the courtyard in front!" In the silence of the shadows, it was easy to tell the direction of the gunshots.

"Follow me!" The company commander shouted loudly, the gunfire has attracted everyone's attention, there is no need for them to hide their identities anymore, and there are gunshots, their soldiers must still be alive, if they hide in the dark, they will accidentally injure their own people, so the company commander decisively ordered the troops to move quickly to find out the situation.

"Is the third squad leader in the yard? What's going on? The company commander and his troops quickly approached the yard, and instead of rushing into it, they shouted loudly into it.

"Company commander, you are finally here, there are little devils in the village, as for the specific number of people, it is not clear yet, and the estimated number is not very large." When the third squad leader heard the voice of his company commander, he immediately ran out of the yard and shouted.

However, just as he ran out of the yard, gunshots were heard again in the quiet rainy night.

"Bang"

The third squad leader fell into the ground with the sound of gunshots, without any signs of life.

"Bang bang bang" The soldiers began to fire in the direction of the gunfire, and in the dark night, the gunfire was obvious, and the soldiers could see the direction of the little devil at a glance.

"Third platoon leader, take your people to clear the whole village of little devils!" The company commander glanced at the squad leader who had already died, gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.

"Bang" gunshots came from the flanks of the village, and the fighters of the other two platoons also began to attack the village. The roads in the village were not familiar to the soldiers of the 33rd Independent Division, but the little devil came one step earlier and took advantage of the terrain in the village.

The gunshots rang out one after another, and in the dark, the soldiers could only rely on the position of the guns to judge the direction of the little devils, so the company that rushed into the burning ditch suffered a lot of losses at the beginning, and the soldiers kept falling under the guns of the little devils, but it was difficult for them to hit the little devils.

However, the little devils did not have an advantage in numbers, so a company that rushed into the village quickly controlled most of the village, and only a few courtyards to the east of the village were still occupied by the little devils. However, the soldiers who rushed into the burning ditch had already lost nearly forty people, and only twenty little devils were killed.
