Chapter 162: The Unyielding Village

"Captain Ma, Taijun orders you to immediately enter the village to search for and kill the enemy, and then set this village on fire." A spy rushed over and yelled at the Imperial Army.

The commander of the Imperial Association surnamed Ma was very helpless, brandishing a pistol to urge the Imperial Association army to enter the village, but he secretly scolded in his heart: * You x damn, the bad ideas are all from your guys, if you have a chance, Lao Tzu has to shoot a black gun, and you must be killed.

Although the Imperial Allies were afraid, the order came down, and the officers were eyeing each other, so they had to rub their way to the village.

After the staggered fortification wall is the main street of the village, I saw that the doors of the houses on the left and right were locked, and the scattered firewood, grass and wheat straw were blown by the wind and swirled on the ground, facing the stone mill at the entrance of the village, as if grinning and laughing at this group of timid intruders.

Fifty or sixty Imperial troops entered the village, trembling in two columns and searching along the streets, not knowing what ambush there was in this dead and silent village.

"Boom!" With a bang, a black mine bounced up from the ground, bursting out of dazzling light in the air more than a meter high, and stones, broken iron, and ceramic pieces flew in all directions, sweeping away all the creatures in front of them.

There are many hiding places in the village, and the space is cramped, and the use of human-controlled pull line mines is more accurate.

This home-made thunderbolt exploded in the middle of the street, causing extremely heavy casualties to the Imperial Alliance troops on both sides. After the explosion, more than a dozen Imperial Allied soldiers were killed and wounded, and they cried and screamed.

This explosion was like a fuse, igniting a bloody battle to protect the village and protect the family.

Two tongues of fire erupted from under the stone mill, and an iron poncho shot countless pieces of iron sand at the enemy, making it difficult to dodge.

The folk earthen gun has a large lifting rod, which exerts a very strong power in a specific environment. The hidden shooting holes also suddenly appeared, firing hateful bullets at the enemy.

The Imperial Allies panicked and panicked, and hid towards the courtyard houses on both sides, but the traps had already been laid and were waiting for them to drill.

Earth-shattering mine explosions rang out one after another, and courtyard gates, steps, and fences ...... Everywhere there was a long-suppressed roar.

A shrill whistle sounded, and the disgraced or wounded Imperial Allies stumbled out of the village, leaving nearly thirty of them dead and wounded.

Captain Ma covered the bleeding wounds on his face, ran to the film gang and cried: "Taijun, the village is full of mines, and it is difficult to move an inch if you touch something!" ”

Kataoka waved his hand a little distraught, he had no plan to occupy the village, he just wanted to set a fire and burn the village down to vent his frustrated anger.

But the stubborn resistance in this small village was completely beyond his expectations.

"Boom, boom, boom......" The devil's mortar began to bombard, and the village was shrouded in the fire and smoke of the explosion, and the houses were collapsing, smoking, and on fire.

After a few minutes of artillery fire, the Imperial Army cautiously entered the village again.

Shots rang out, and the Imperial Army rushed into the village, firing indiscriminately. Yes, only their shots, but there was no resistance.

The Imperial Allied Army was a little confused, but also a little surprised. Was the enemy scared away by the shelling? Maybe this time you don't have to pay the casualties unluckily, you can achieve your goal, right?

"Ahh

Although some mines were destroyed by enemy shelling, they were not dense enough to cover the entire village, and some treadmilling and tripping mines remained, causing casualties and fear to the enemy.

"Boom!" There was another explosion, and although the mine was not very lethal, the ratio of one for one was also satisfactory.

Moreover, mines that are more concealed, like those in the courtyard of a house, are not so easy to detonate.

Whoever is the last stubborn will be the final victor.

Even if the strength is not overcome, it is necessary to show the enemy the determination and unyielding will to resist stubbornly, so that the enemy can re-evaluate the price to be paid and re-evaluate the value and meaning of the battle.

Still don't have a chance?

Shen Chen had already left the village and went around to the sniper position closest to the enemy's command position and the artillery position. Even the closest range, which is about 500 meters, is relatively safe.

He looked closely, but found that because the enemy was well protected, he could not find the shadow of the enemy commander.

Only by waiting, Shen Chen did not believe that the enemy's defense would be flawless. So, he wasn't in a hurry, he put the gun in place, and he waited patiently for the time to fire the killer shot.

Sporadic mines, chaotic gunfire, the Imperial Concordia army has already occupied most of the village after paying the casualties.

Without active resistance, they were almost certain that the opponent had withdrawn from the village.

Katagang held the binoculars and pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, it was easier than expected, there was no suspense in occupying the whole village, right?

After all, the opponent still did not have the strength to block the occupation of the village, and even gave up active resistance in order to preserve its strength, avoiding the real and attacking the weak, which is also one of the characteristics of the guerrilla tactics they are accustomed to.

"Taijun! I think the enemy may have fled a long time ago. An officer of the Imperial Allied Army came over and said flatteringly: "How dare some mud legs with guns resist us?" ”

Kataoka snorted, he had always looked down on these soft bones. It's just that the situation is changing, and the number of imperial troops is decreasing, so that future military operations will rely more and more on the imperial army to carry out.

Therefore, Katagang forcibly suppressed the disgust in his heart, and did not face each other evilly.

There was not much time, the Imperial Association army finally occupied the whole village, and after seeing the flag signal clearly, Katagang breathed a sigh of relief and put down the binoculars. He waved his hand, ready to give the orderβ€”but at this time, there was a sudden change in the village.

"Smack!" The soldiers of the Imperial Concordia Army, waving the signal flag, fell from the roof of the house with the sudden sound of gunfire, slammed into the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust, and then the dirty blood wet the ground.

As soon as the signal for a counterattack was issued, the accumulated anger erupted.

The cold guns of "ping-pong" continued, and the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army and two squads of the Eighth Route Army came out of the cellars, walls, and hiding holes and launched an attack on the enemy.

Dozens of Imperial troops occupied the village, but they were afraid of the mines and did not dare to search the house, but only made a cursory inspection. Moreover, their forces were scattered, and under the sudden burst of blows, they were caught off guard and responded in panic.

"Boom!" A fiery tongue of fire shot out from the corner of the wall, mixed with countless pieces of rubble and iron filings, and swooped down on the enemy.

Several Imperial Concordants screamed and fell to the ground and rolled in pain. At such a close distance, it was a sudden shot, and the old firebolt maximized its own advantages.

"Boom, boom!" Two grenades thrown from the courtyard exploded one after the other, killing several Imperial Confederate troops.

"Phew!" A nimble Imperial Concordant soldier had just climbed under the wall and was shot in the back before he could fire a single bullet.

He turned around with great difficulty, and in his blurred eyes, he saw in disbelief a hole in the wall with a thick bowl mouth, and the muzzle of a black hole protruded again.

The Imperial Army that entered the village had nowhere to hide, and it seemed that it was not safe to hide anywhere.

The Eighth Route Army and the guerrillas used the walls to weave through the courtyards of the village in groups of three or five, and attacked with great skill.

Vicious bullets were being fired everywhere, and grenades were exploding everywhere. They finally realized that they had fallen into a trap carefully set by their opponents.

The long-planned and well-prepared blow was so sudden and fierce that the enemy was overt and covert, and the strategy of bringing the enemy into the village to fight was a great success.

The success of tactics is not accidental, it must have a solid foundation. Or the soldier is well trained, or has very favorable objective conditions.

After experiencing the battles in Yushu Village and other villages, the Eighth Route Army and the guerrillas conducted in-depth research on this purpose, so as to improve their tactical tactics.

This time, he dared to let the enemy in, relying on the continuous digging and expansion of the hiding hole, as well as the carefully set up killing positions. Even if you can't achieve a decisive victory, it's enough to be invincible.

The sound of explosions echoed over the village, the smoke of gunpowder was billowing, and the gunshots were constantly ringing, a baptism of blood and fire.

The corpses were all over the ground with mutilated blades and stains of blood, surrounded by sharp cries and miserable cries, and the tragic environment quickly crushed the weak will to fight the Imperial Army.

Kataoka's hands were trembling, and the Imperial Allies had begun to flee from the village one after another, their faces frightened, as if there were demons and monsters chasing behind them, trying to devour them.

Reinforcements were not a good idea at this time, apparently the artillery fire was prepared in a somewhat hasty manner, and most of the enemy's fortifications were not destroyed, or the enemy's fortifications were hidden and strong.

Although it will take some work, Kataoka's confidence has not been shaken at this time, and he is ready to continue the shelling and attack again.

In the village of "Da ......" and "Da ......", a small group of Imperial Allies was retreating in panic.

An Imperial Army machine gunner took line, holding a machine gun and retreating, turning back from time to time to shoot at a suspected target.

Although this kind of blind shooting did not cause any damage, it was stared at by Liu Biao, it should be said that the machine gun in the hands of this imperial army made Liu Biao's eyes shine.

Undoubtedly, this was a good opportunity to seize the machine guns, and it was close, and again when the enemy was retreating in panic.

Liu Biao gritted his teeth and beckoned to a few soldiers around him: "Go around and intercept it, and snatch the machine gun in the hand of that dog." ”

"Platoon commander......" A soldier hesitated, and was interrupted by Liu Biao as soon as he expressed a different opinion.

"Sensei nonsense, follow me." Liu Biao glared at the soldier fiercely, waved the shell gun, opened the bale of straw, and the cat's waist got out of the hole in the courtyard wall.

An explosion sounded not far away, and the dust and gunpowder smoke choked Liu Biao twice. But he was afraid that the machine gunner of the Imperial Allied Army would run away, and he marched fast against the wall.

"I'll grab the machine gun later, and you two will cover up." Liu Biao opened the hidden portal again, got into a courtyard, and then passed through the courtyard, so as to block the escape route of the Imperial Cooperative Army.

"I'd better go grab it-" The soldier who hesitated just now paused, and took the initiative to ask: "You use the box cannon to cover me, and my legs and feet are nimble." ”

Liu Biao let out a "hmm" and no longer argued, using a box cannon to cover was indeed the best choice.

Several people relied on the familiarity of the road, turned left and right, and finally intercepted this small group of imperial alliance troops from the side. After constant cold gun and mine attacks, there were less than ten people left in this Imperial Army, and the machine gunners were changed.

"Ah......" One of the retreating Imperial Allies suddenly widened his eyes and let out a terrifying scream.

Several smoke-emitting grenades flew out without warning from behind a ruined wall on the side and slammed into their heads.

With a burst of screams and panicked dodging of the Imperial Army, several grenades exploded continuously, and mud and stones flew in the smoke of gunpowder, and screams were heard again and again.

In the smoke and dust, three more grenades flew over, and in the explosion, deadly shrapnel flew out and fired in four directions.

These two rounds of grenade attacks almost knocked down this small group of Imperial Allied troops, leaving only the two or three enemies who were postponed unaffected, which Liu Biao specially explained for fear of damaging the machine gun.

Filled with smoke and dust, and the vision was unclear, Liu Biao and the others took the opportunity to flash out from behind the remnant wall, holding weapons, and quickly pounced on the enemy.

The distance of more than 20 meters was soon reached, and the smoke of gunpowder had dissipated somewhat, but danger suddenly appeared in front of him.

After a faint cloud of smoke, the two Imperial Allied troops also stood up, including a machine gunner, and pointed their guns at this side, seeing that it was a situation of bleeding five steps and losing both.

"Phew!" With a slightly dull gunshot, the Imperial Army's machine gunner shook his body, and his chest was hit by a bullet from a nearby hidden shooting hole, bursting out with a bloody flower.

He stared widely, leaned backwards on his back, twitched his fingers, pulled the plate machine, and a row ......of bullets flew diagonally above the heads of Liu Biao and the others.

Liu Biao reacted quickly, and as soon as he saw the enemy's figure, he shook his hand, and a row of bullets flew out, giving full play to the characteristics of the box gun.

Two screams were mixed with a muffled snort, and two enemy corpses fell, and the body of one warrior was also staggering, almost falling.

Another fighter took a few steps, grabbed the machine gun, ran straight forward, jumped and jumped over a low wall, turned and set up the machine gun, and acted as cover.

Liu Biao was behind him with a gun to watch, covering the wounded soldier over the low wall, and then he jumped over the low wall.

"Where's the injury? How's it going? Liu Biao looked at the wounded soldier with concern as he changed the magazine.

Sizzle, the wounded warrior leaned against the low wall, clutching his shoulders and gasping for cold air, blood flowing down his fingers, and reluctantly said, "No, it's okay." ”

Liu Biao showed a look of appreciation, waved his hand, and ordered: "Xiao Zhang will stay and take care of you, and the rest will continue to fight with me." ”
