1139. Surround the Japanese cavalry and fight

The last dozen or so horsemen of the Japanese cavalry were driven into Xiayu Village by the three dogs like ducks, this village is not big, there are only dozens of houses.

Now because of the war, all the villagers here have fled, leaving only some empty houses, these dozen devil cavalry, in the wilderness for fear of being hit by the guns of the Chinese army, had to flee into these houses in Xiayu Village.

Finally drove the duck into the cage, Sangou breathed a sigh of relief, and handed over the matter to the Eighth Company to deal with, he had to go to the command post separately, and now the defense of the Seventh Company's Headless Ridge is more important.

The commander of the eighth company was so cruel to this group of devil cavalry that he killed a squad of his people, and he still broke through his defense area, and rushed in and almost killed the battalion headquarters.

Now there is a way to drive these cavalry into the house, the devils hide in the house and dare not come out, because there are Chinese soldiers guarding various intersections outside, and each group has a machine gun.

There are only a dozen horsemen, and it is certainly impossible to form the impact force of the cavalry troops, and in the face of the resistance of light machine guns, it may be able to rush, but the result is difficult to say, and it is very likely that they will be swept away by machine guns.

Even if they are not killed, once the horse is hit, injured or killed, the cavalry without the horse will not be able to kill the infantry.

Therefore, it is still wiser for this group of devil cavalry to quickly hide in the village house, anyway, the battle has already started on the headless ridge, and it sounds quite fierce.

In case Headless Ridge was taken down by the Japanese army, they could escape the catastrophe as long as they held on to their houses as long as they held on to their own people.

But the commander of the eighth company didn't give these devils this chance, he took two platoons of people from the eighth company to surround Xiayu Village, and the first and second platoons of Peng Changhua and Yang Chengzu still stood on the position to prevent the Japanese army from passing through the riverside position.

Eight platoons came with three platoons and four platoons, the fourth platoon set up machine guns at various intersections outside the village, and the other three platoons, that is, the dogs who had just been sacrificed, and their squad belonged to the third platoon.

The third platoon was responsible for entering the village to kill the devil cavalry, and the commander of the eighth company deliberately arranged it this way, and the third platoon was already angry at this time, and everyone wanted to avenge the brothers of the first squad.

What is Hatred Relief? Only by slaughtering these devils with his own hands.

But the third platoon commander Chen Yanxin, who is now also the deputy company commander of the Eighth Company, although he is also burning with hatred, but after all, he is a platoon commander, and he is relatively calm and rational.

After many years of conquest, Chen Yanxin knew that fighting could be fought with momentary courage at a critical time, but not for a long time, at this time, he forced the devil into the village, if he attacked hard, the effect would not be great, and it would even bring more sacrifices.

The devil who jumps over the wall in a hurry is likely to bite back.

He had to come up with some proper methods, Chen Yanxin first asked someone to collect firewood, and at the same time asked all the assaulters to rush to the dead corner of the front house under the cover of machine guns.

The Demoman then followed, using rationed explosives to blast through the earthen wall on one side of the house, and the Assaulter immediately threw a grenade into it, and after the grenade exploded, a shuttle of submachine gun bullets came inside.

The two devil cavalrymen in the front house were pulling their horses on the windowsill and using their horse pistols to block the Chinese soldiers who might rush outside, but they didn't expect that in the corner of the room, that is, the blind spot of his vision, was blown up.

Then the grenade exploded in the house, and then the dense submachine gun bullets killed the two devils, even men and horses.

At that time, the rural mud houses were relatively low, without many windows, and even if there were, they were generally in front of the wings on both sides of the main wall, and they were not big.

Devils usually work in groups of two and hide in these houses in order to have one more person to guard the back door, but there is usually no window in the back, only one door.

The back door was bolted from the inside, and even if it was broken open by the Chinese soldiers, there was a person guarding it inside, and he couldn't get in at once.

At close range, the horse pistol of the devil cavalry is still very useful, and if it is hit, it will be injured if it does not die.

But Chen Yanxin has now adopted the tactics of street fighting and blasting forward, not breaking or standing, directly blowing up the wall in the dead corner of the side of the house, and then throwing grenades and shooting intensively.

In this way, the devils hiding in the house have no way at all, especially the house at the front of the village, without the protection of the surrounding houses, it is easy to be approached by Chinese soldiers.

So when the first house was blown up, the devils in several houses in the village suddenly became nervous, and they all gathered in one big courtyard immediately.

This compound should be a local ancestral hall, a large blue brick house, with windows on all sides, although it is not large, but the view is relatively good, and it can shoot with a horse pistol to prevent Chinese soldiers from approaching the wall of the house.

Seeing that all the devils were hiding in a big house, this matter was even better, and the commander of the eighth company transferred the four rows outside the village to surround this ancestral hall.

Originally, Chen Yanxin was going to use a whole bundle of firewood, use a long bamboo pole to fork the fire, and push it to the ancestral hall, wanting to use fire to burn the house, force the devil to rush out of it, and then concentrate the fire to kill the devil.

But the dog leg felt that it was too troublesome to do this, and it was not easy to find such a long bamboo pole for this fork firewood, no matter how long it was, it was still a little out of reach of the ancestral hall, and it was easy to be hit by devils.

Even if you use a machine gun to block the windows, you can't completely block the guns of the devils, and there are many places in this kind of house where the shots are shot, maybe the devils have climbed on the roof to uncover the tiles.

Now that the fourth platoon is here, there is no need for these things, because the fourth platoon itself is a small artillery platoon, with mortars and heavy machine guns, as long as the rockery mortar, a few cannons can be fired into the ancestral hall.

But now we still have to think about how to block the outside in case the devil is hit by a mortar and rushes out from the inside, so the Chai He sent by Chen Yanxin is still useful.

The firewood was poured with the nitrate powder in the explosives, and rolled them one by one to the outside of the entrance of the ancestral hall, all over the ground, and some rolled in the back.

After the mortars in the four rows were erected, everyone was in full position, the distance was very close, the mortars almost did not need correction shells, one correction shell hit, and then immediately replaced with high-explosive shells and incendiary shells.

The American incendiary bombs are very useful, and when they are punched in, they are a fire, and after a few incendiary bombs enter the ancestral hall, the inside is burned red.

Coupled with the high-explosive shell of another mortar, it blew up the devil inside and howled wolf, and the devil finally couldn't hold it back, opened the door, and rushed out of it.

When six or seven devil cavalry rushed out on horseback, the machine guns outside the gate immediately opened fire, and the machine gun bullets not only hit the devil horses, but also ignited the firewood bundles at the door.

The war horse was originally trained in bullets and fire, and it was not afraid of ordinary firewood, but at present, these firewood are just disturbing the war horse, and the real thing is the machine gun.

Seeing that the horses were a little afraid of the raging fire, the devil cavalry was hesitating to rush over, and had to keep poking the horse's belly with the spurs on the heels of their boots.
