Chapter Seventy-Five: The Little Devil Is in a Hurry!

The Japanese army Nakasa, who was temporarily stationed in Hujiabao to command the sweeping campaign, may not have expected that overnight, the area around the small village where they lived would be surrounded by a large group of minefields. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 When they found out, they found out that they were trapped in the village.

Hearing the sound of gunfire from outside the village, the Japanese puppet army, who was waiting in the village for other troops to come and converge, naturally looked very nervous. With the order of the Japanese army to go to check, a group of little devils who were ready to go rushed out of the village.

It's just that not long after running out of the village, the little devil who ran in front of him took off. The continuous explosions made many little devils who planned to go out of the village to check the situation hurriedly brake and lie down as if they were a little conditioned.

'Yaga! How can there be mines at the entrance of the village? Damn, what the hell is going on? ’

Looking at the soldiers killed and wounded by the landmine, the Japanese army Nakasa, who was leaving the rescue force at the entrance of the village, undoubtedly looked very confused and puzzled. When the troops were temporarily withdrawn, Nakasa quickly sent his soldiers to take another route.

As a result, the entire village was turned into a minefield, and wherever they went, they stepped on mines. Knowing such a situation, the Japanese puppet army trapped in the village undoubtedly seemed nervous.

Even the Japanese Nakasa quickly realized that they were most likely surrounded. But what puzzled him was, how exactly did the Eighth Route Army do this? What is the purpose of besieging them?

The Japanese Nakasa, who ordered the troops to stop going out and began to prepare for the defense of the village, quickly convened his officers to discuss the matter. It didn't take long for an officer to come up with a more likely guess.

'Your Excellency, the enemy has laid a large minefield outside the village where we are stationed, and I am afraid that he wants to delay our retreat. I think they should know that we are retreating with the intention of going to Weishan to encircle and suppress their main force.

This time, we launched a large-scale sweep operation, and their main force did not happen, not even the guerrillas of the Eighth Road. Now these troops who have planted mines are most likely guerrillas from the Eighth Road. ’

What about the battle outside the village? ’

Soon, some officers raised different opinions, feeling that if it was a guerrilla force of the Eighth Route Army, it would not be easy to stop their scattered sweeping troops. This shows that Shanting Township still has the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

In the face of the doubts raised by these officers, the officers who had previously speculated also said in a timely manner: "These Tubalu troops who are fighting against us should also stay here to contain us.

At least from the current situation, we do not hear the sound of large-caliber artillery. The telegram sent by the Teng County Garrison Headquarters earlier clearly told us that in the two townships and towns garrisoned, Tuba Road used large-caliber artillery. ”

'You mean, Dirt Eight Road wants to drag us here?' ’

'Quite possibly! If we are dragged here, it will be very difficult to encircle the main forces of Tubalu that have fled with only the troops stationed in Zaozhuang and the troops stationed in Zaozhuang earlier.

I even suspect that Tuba Road may turn back to Tengxian again before the siege is closed. Because they must know that they can only be safe if they flee into the mountains. And they trapped us here to buy time for their main force to break through. ’

This kind of analysis, judging from the information received by the Japanese army so far, can still hold up to some extent. But for the Japanese army Nakasa, he still felt a little worried. even felt that it was necessary to break out as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, the Japanese army Nakasa also said in a timely manner: "Organize sappers and speed up demining, we must get out of here as soon as possible." If we continue like this, I'm afraid that our troops outside will also be in danger! ”

In fact, as the Japanese army Zhong Zuo guessed, in just one day, the little devils trapped in Hujiabao, after losing dozens of sappers, also discharged hundreds of mines of different sizes and strange appearances.

It's just that what makes them collapse is that every time they clear some mines, they can see the Eighth Route Army that is laying mines a few hundred meters away, and there are even the Eighth Route Army marksmen who are looking for little devil sappers.

In the process of clearing mines and exchanging fire, gunfire could be heard outside the village for two or three hours. Each exchange of fire was short, but no troops were seen breaking through the village.

As a result, all the little devils trapped in the village began to feel a little worried. They knew that the sounds of those exchanges of fire should be the troops who had been ordered to come to converge. But now, they are constantly ambushed by the Eighth Route Army.

After a day of suffering, the Japanese army Nakasa soon realized that he had fallen for the Eighth Route Army's usual 'encirclement and reinforcement' tactics. Even he had every reason to suspect that a large number of the main forces of the Eighth Route Army were hidden around Shanting Township.

'Damn! We were fooled! The number of the main forces of the Eighth Route Army is only far beyond our previous estimates. Immediately send a telegram to the Teng County garrison and ask him to send troops to support us as soon as possible. Be fast! ’

After realizing that the Eighth Route Army was constantly clearing out the sweeping troops he had sent to various places, the Japanese army finally remembered to ask for support from the Tengxian garrison. But the problem is that most of the support troops that Teng County can send have rushed to Xigang to implement blockade tactics.

It is estimated that it will take at least one to two days to toss back and forth. The tactic of besieging them was implemented by the Eighth Route Army, so naturally they would not have been allowed to break through so easily, nor would they have let their reinforcements come to support so quickly.

With this understanding, the Japanese army Nakasa was even more eager to break through. It's just that a few little devil squadrons were encircled and suppressed during the day, and after learning that there were not many little devils left on the periphery, Zhao Tiehu also planned to encircle and annihilate the little devils in Hujiabao.

After ordering the troops who were ambushing outside the village, began to shrink the protective circle. Zhao Tiehu, who originally planned to attack Hujiabao, found during the pre-war reconnaissance that the little devil seemed to be planning to break through overnight.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tiehu also said in a timely manner: "Dabao, order the troops to prepare to fight!" It seems that tonight, the little devil intends to force a breakthrough. Grandma's, I didn't think about running during the day, and I still wanted to run at night, didn't think it was too late! ”

After sneering, Zhao Tiehu finally decided to sit back and wait for the little devil to break through the encirclement. And the situation was as Zhao Tiehu expected, after a large number of losses of sappers, the Japanese finally decided to use artillery to clear mines and break through.

It turned out that the artillery that had worked hard to pull here and prepare to attack the Eighth Route Army turned into a tool for detonating mines. Such a demining method undoubtedly made the artillery of the little devils seem a little helpless.

Seeing that the little devils chose to break through head-on, Zhao Tiehu was also surprised: "These little devils, it seems that they are really in a hurry!" I'm going to stand out from the encirclement! Send another company to the frontal position and block these little devils for me.

Artillery detachments were ordered, ready for shelling at any time. As soon as the imps launch a group charge, give me a covered artillery strike. I want to see if it's the little devil's bushido that is powerful, or Lao Tzu's cannonballs! ”

As the little devil artillery opened the way, the tactics of dense extension were used to detonate the mines at the entrance of the village. Looking at the mines that were detonated from time to time after the shells landed, the little devils who were ready to break through also looked very happy.

'Yo, that's it!' Order the death squads and rush out at all costs. Let the death squads rush along the place where there are artillery craters, where there should be no more mines. Rush out of the village entrance to establish a position, and meet the follow-up troops to break through. ’

Perhaps realizing that the speed of the breakthrough tonight must be fast, otherwise when the Eighth Route Army reacts, they don't want to break through smoothly The Japanese army Zhongzuo specially selected some daredevils from the troops.

These Japanese daredevils, tied with strips of white cloth, followed by the continuous artillery fire, began to break through from the entrance of the village. Although landmines are stepped on from time to time, they are undoubtedly much weaker than the density of mines during the day.

It wasn't until the death squad ran out of the village entrance for half a mile and finally made sure that there were no mines there, that the Japanese army Nakasa, who had been staying at the village entrance to watch the battle, also gave an order in a timely manner: "Order the troops, quickly attack, and break through!" ”

A large number of Japanese puppet soldiers who had already packed their luggage began to run wildly outside the village along the still somewhat hot ground. For them, they may also know that if they don't break through quickly, they may be blocked in the village.

Zhao Tiehu, who had been watching the little devil's actions outside the village, looked at the first batch of little devils who rushed out of the village, and knew that the little devil had made a bloody decision tonight to forcibly break through. When the death squad established a position at the entrance of the village, he could only attack and harass in small detachments.

In this way, it makes the little devils believe that there are not many Eighth Route Army blocking them at the entrance of the village. In fact, the mortars and infantry guns brought by the artillery detachment had already locked on the position at the entrance of the village occupied by this group of death squads.

When a large number of little devils left the village and began to prepare for a breakthrough, Zhao Tiehu also said in a timely manner: "Start shelling!" ”

The artillery detachment, which had been waiting for a long time, quickly launched an artillery bombardment of the positions in front of the village that were aimed. Looking at the meteor rain in the distance, the Japanese soldier Nakaya said with a pale face: "Yaga! How so! ”

From the intensity of the artillery fire, the Japanese army Nakasa could guess that there were a large number of troops of the Eighth Route Army outside the village to block the attack. And the Japanese puppet army, who rushed out at this moment, and felt that they could get away with it, was undoubtedly a little dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

After the artillery launched a covering attack, Zhao Tiehu also said in a timely manner: "Blow the trumpet and kill me!" Drive these little devils back to the village! ”

'Rush! ’

Like the little devil death squad that rushed out of the village before, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were waiting outside the village also began to rush out with guns. chased those little devils who fled in embarrassment, and kept shooting life-threatening bullets.

Seeing a large number of Eighth Route Army copied from outside the village, the little devil officer who reacted immediately shouted: "Don't mess up, withdraw!" Withdraw to the village, quick! Withdraw to the village the same way! ”

Amid the shouts of these officers, some puppet soldiers and little devils dragging heavy luggage could only turn back to the village again. The passage that can be blown open is so wide, and with the cargo jam, the road that can accommodate traffic is not wide.

So a more tragic scene was soon staged, and many Japanese puppet soldiers who were panicked and chose the road, in order to escape the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army, once again stepped into the minefield that had not yet been cleared. This also means that they want to escape back to the village alive, but they are afraid that there is not much possibility!
