The battalion commander's thoughts, but Li Ziyuan shook his head and said: "Are you really so naïve as a devil, dare to put their artillery position on the open land under our noses?" If you look closely, did the Japanese deploy a few machine guns to the south and behind the artillery positions? ”

"As long as there is a slight movement in the artillery positions here, the firepower of these machine guns is enough to block the entire artillery position. And the cannon sound I heard before, the devil is not just these cannons. At least one more mortar, which has not been shown up until now. This shows that the devil is playing a trick on us, waiting for us to drill it. And this artillery position, if you can't do it, is a bait. ”

"Besides, this artillery position of the devil, although it is very close to us. But it happened to be in the waist and eye part of the devil's entire formation, although its own alert force was not much, but there were a squadron of devils on each wing. Let's fight the devil artillery first, and it is indeed a breath of relief. ”

"But when the time comes, the two winged devils will surround at the same time, and it will be up to us to say whether we can withdraw or not. And the hill where we are right now is a little steep on the side facing the devil. Fighting a defensive battle is a good support, but when we retreat, the terrain will make our retreat very slow. ”

"With the devil's reflexes and firepower, you can directly kill and injure half of our people on the way back, that is, stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice. You remember to me that when you fight against an opponent like the devil, who is both cunning and insidious, the better things are, the more poisonous they are. Willing, willing, giving will be gained. ”

"You can't get everything, you want to get it. Many battles are lost because they are too greedy and want everything, and you need to know what it means to stop in moderation. Get rid of the devil's artillery, we still have a chance in the future. The question now is how to tow this Japanese army away. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ziyuan looked at the sky and waved his hand to signal the troops to start moving immediately. When Li Ziyuan led his troops and rushed to the planned battle site around the Japanese position, he raised his binoculars and looked at the two hills. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers behind him immediately dispersed and cautiously rushed towards the guard positions set up by the Japanese army on these two hills.

At this moment, the Japanese troops inside and outside the village were in a deep sleep, in addition to the guard posts. Even the food and nutrition of the Japanese army is far higher than that of any armed force in China. However, the long continuous marching and fighting also made these Japanese troops extremely tired. Although it was not clear what the Japanese army's intention was to camp here, Li Ziyuan thought that this time was somewhat of an opportunity.

Li Ziyuan led the troops and carefully touched the foot of the two hills. Looking at the two hills, except for the Japanese military guard posts constantly walking back and forth, there was a quiet place on the top of the mountain. With a direct wave of his hand, the two company commanders, under the command of the deputy battalion commander, each took this platoon with two light machine guns to pull away the skirmish line, and cautiously touched the mountain.

And behind them, the fighters of the two platoons also carried rifles with bayonets attached, and unscrewed the back cover of the * and pulled out the safety rope. Two heavy machine guns were also set up at the selected machine gun position at the foot of the mountain, and the muzzles of the guns were directly aimed at the Japanese warning position on the mountain.

The troops who pounced on the two hills at the same time were unusually cautious in their actions. The Japanese troops on the mountain, except for the slight squeak made when the sentries patrolled back and forth and their legs rubbed against the grass, were also unusually calm. The troops led by the two company commanders cautiously approached the top of the hill little by little.

And under the mountain, with a ray of light at dawn, holding a telescope to observe Li Ziyuan on the mountain, he kept thinking in the letter that if he didn't fire a single shot, after taking these two heights, should he attack the Japanese army in depth next, so as to add fire to the devil?

After seeing that the soldiers of the two platoons had touched the mountain, although there were countless big battles and small battles, Li Ziyuan was a little nervous at the moment. On the hill on the left flank, the Japanese troops were relatively less vigilant, and the troops who touched the hill basically took it without firing a single shot. But at this time, a crisp gunshot from the hill on the right flank suddenly broke the calm of dawn.

Hearing the gunshots, Li Ziyuan didn't say a word, carried his binoculars, and quickly went up the hill on the left flank. After going up the hill, Li Ziyuan saw several Japanese corpses on the ground, as well as a Type 96 machine gun, and didn't ask anything, and immediately raised his binoculars to look at the hill on the right flank slightly behind.

And with this gunshot, the Japanese troops outside the village were alarmed. After quickly judging the place where the gunshots rang out, a small group of Japanese troops immediately rushed over. And at this moment, the troops on the right flank up the hill said that there was a little accident. When dealing with the devil sentry, I didn't expect the rifle in this guy's hand to catch fire.

As a result, this guy pulled the trigger while struggling, and although it was solved with a knife, it also alerted the Japanese soldiers behind him. The reaction speed of the Japanese army was extremely fast, and the troops who had just solved the Japanese guard post on the top of the hill on this side, and a small team that rushed out of the Japanese position on that side had already rushed to the bottom of the mountain.

The troops who controlled the hill on the right flank saw that the Japanese reinforcements had rushed to the bottom of the hill and immediately deployed. A subsequent platoon that followed quickly after the gunshots rang out, and a heavy machine gun on its shoulders were matched by fire. Without the slightest hesitation, he started a fierce battle with the Japanese squad that rushed over.

The reinforced Japanese troops did not expect such a small group of sneak attacks on the Eighth Road, and they actually carried heavy machine guns to sneak attack. As soon as the skirmish line was opened, half of the troops were killed and wounded by the crossfire composed of heavy machine guns and two light machine guns. The remaining Japanese troops were taken by surprise and had to retreat back to their starting positions.

But after all, it was a fierce Japanese army, and when the vanguard was disabled, the opponent's firepower was far beyond his expectations. Immediately, under the cover of two heavy machine guns, a second counterattack was organized. In order to recapture these two passages to contain the back road as soon as possible, as time went by, the Japanese army invested more and more troops and firepower.

And after the second round of Japanese counterattacks began, the Japanese artillery fire also joined in, and pieces of shells exploded on the two hills. Dense shells, the troops on the two hills could not even lift their heads. A force of Japanese troops also forced their way along the road, trying to recapture all two hills in one fell swoop while cutting off the connection between the two hills on the left and right.

Seeing this, the deputy battalion commander who followed Li Ziyuan up the mountain immediately turned over the Type 96 light machine gun on the hill on the left flank, and fired directly at the Japanese troops who were trying to take advantage of the gap between the two heights and prepare to outflank them in a roundabout way. And concentrated a squad under the cover of a heavy machine gun, rushed down from their position, and forced the Japanese army out again.

Japanese artillery joined in, and the follow-up infantry began to quickly reinforce in this direction. The strength of the Japanese army was rapidly increased from a squad to a squadron. Seeing that the Japanese army was growing more and more, Li Ziyuan put down the binoculars in his hand and gave an order to the deputy battalion commander beside him to concentrate firepower and cover the retreat of the troops in front.

And the deputy battalion commander also knew that a good man would not suffer immediate losses, and after receiving Li Ziyuan's order, he immediately sent a part of his troops to take over the troops on the hill on the right flank. After the two platoons withdrew, Li Ziyuan commanded this part of the troops to cover alternately and retreat while fighting.

At this moment, the Japanese army behind them may be completely enraged, or they may be looking for eight routes, waiting for this opportunity. Two heavy machine guns, this look is the large army of the Eighth Road. If they can be dealt with, this sneak attack will not be considered in vain.

Seeing that Li Ziyuan actually stabbed himself, he was about to leave. After eating a sullen Japanese army, they will be willing to give up again, and let you take advantage of a little bit and then pat your ass and leave. Regardless of being awakened by the sound of gunshots, before he could eat breakfast, he bit his ass and chased down.

After Li Ziyuan's first goal was achieved, he calmed down. He commanded the troops to take advantage of the terrain and change places with one shot. The original four and a half companies of this reinforced battalion were reduced to two companies, and they were evacuated all the way under alternate cover. And always firmly controlled the flanks, and put a platoon in front of his own retreat route.

Compared with Li Ziyuan's fighting and retreating, those prisoners were a little dishonest. Especially Hideo Ikeda, who is very dishonest himself, when he sees his reinforcements arriving, will he follow obediently? Along the way, he grabbed and jumped, and tried to escape many times. And the three traitors who were originally more honest also began to be dishonest like a savior.

Along the way, these guys caused quite a lot of trouble for the soldiers guarding them. In particular, that Hideo Ikeda can be said to be super dishonest. often sits on the ground with one butt, relying on life and death and refuses to leave. This guy has brought too much trouble to Li Ziyuan's transfer operation.

However, there are many ways to deal with these captives. Those few traitors saved trouble, Li Ziyuan took out a pistol and killed one directly, the effect of killing chickens and monkeys was obvious, and the remaining few were much more honest at that time. As for shooting one, Li Ziyuan didn't care much.

If it weren't for the fact that these traitors had been shot in order to give an explanation to his superiors, it would not be a big deal for him. And to explain to the superiors, it doesn't matter if there is one more or less. One was shot, and aren't there still two left? That's enough.

killed a traitor, and the remaining two people, after recognizing their situation, immediately became honest, let them go, let them sit down, and sit down. And for Hideo Ikeda, who is playing a super scoundrel and killing chickens and monkeys is useless to him, Li Ziyuan is not without a way at all.

You can't be killed if you are killed, don't think about taking the radical method to make Lao Tzu make mistakes again. Aren't you not leaving? Well, there are still solutions. Li Ziyuan stopped the battalion instructor who wanted to make a stretcher and tie this guy to a stretcher. Instead, he had his hands tied upside down with a rope, and his trousers stripped off with a string tied to the key part under him.

When the march is transferred, a warrior is dragged in front. Li Ziyuan's idea is very simple, as long as it is a man and a man who is still alive, that part is tethered. No matter how much you want to die, you don't dare to move. In case the person in front of him can't control his hand well, he will become a eunuch even if he is a ghost.

Even if a person who is bent on dying again will not cause trouble again when that part is threatened. After all, even if you are a ghost, no one wants to be a eunuch. Although Li Ziyuan's method was strongly opposed by the instructors, who believed that it was abusing the prisoners. But Li Ziyuan still had the status of a superior and forcibly suppressed the opposition.
