Chapter 23: Wounding the Japanese Army

After Squadron Leader Maruyama returned to Binh Dinh County, he personally reported to Hasegawa that the cowardly sneak attackers had fled, and the main force of the squadron was unable to carry out a comprehensive sweep of Binh Dinh County.

Hasegawa also knew that the main task of his brigade was to deal with the regular troops of the Eighth Route in Mengxian, and in his opinion, it must have been the guerrillas who attacked his troops.

Thinking about those backward equipped guerrillas, Hasegawa also felt that they would definitely flee when they saw their main force dispatched.

"The guerrillas are timid, they know that our main force is stationed here, and they will definitely not dare to sneak attack, maybe they have already gotten into the rat hole to hide, captain, when we eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army, we must carry out a carpet sweep here when we come back, and teach these guerrillas a hard lesson."

Squadron Leader Maruyama said with an angry face that this incident made him feel that he had lost face.

"They certainly don't dare to come, I know these cowardly guerrillas...... Hasegawa swears.

Before he could finish his words, the sound of machine gun fire sounded again outside the county seat, and this time Hasegawa heard it clearly, it was the sound of Czech light machine gun fire.

"Eight Ga Ya Road!" Hasegawa's face turned iron-blue, and he looked viciously at Squadron Leader Maruyama.

Sweat appeared on the forehead of the Maruyama squadron leader, he never dreamed that he had just returned to the county seat and the guerrillas were fighting again.

"Captain, those Chinese troops are back again, and they killed two of our gate sentinels." The lieutenant came to the county seat again.

"Mobilize two squadrons, deploy the machine gun squadron on the tower, find them, and cut off their heads!" Hasegawa said angrily.

It was Sun Weiguo who attacked the Japanese army outside, and this time Sun Weiguo's strategy was very simple, leave after the fight, and not give the Japanese a chance to counterattack.

By the time the Japanese army came to pursue outside the city, Sun Weiguo had already evacuated with his people.

The Japanese sent most of them to search, but they could not find any trace of their opponents.

The scope of Pingding County is not small, and all of these more than 1,000 devil soldiers are dispatched, and it is very difficult to find dozens of people.

What's more, it is impossible for the Japanese army to be dispatched in full, they still have to stay in the county seat, and more importantly, they will attack the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Mengxian tomorrow.

After searching for a while without yielding results, the Japanese army returned to the city, in order to prevent Sun Weiguo from attacking again, the Japanese army's eight Type 92 heavy machine guns on the city tower fired a burst of fire from time to time.

But even so, Sun Weiguo still came with two machine gun squads and reconnaissance squads to sneak attack, he didn't have high requirements, just kill a devil.

"Bang bang." Light machine guns and rifles began to fire under Sun Weiguo's orders, and the bullets fired at the city gate and tower of the Japanese army.

A Japanese heavy machine gun shooter and three riflemen were shot again, and after Sun Weiguo pulled the trigger, he withdrew with his troops without looking at the results.

After retreating to a nearby field, Sun Weiguo sat on the ground and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"The Japanese army will definitely be more closely guarded, let's rest for a while, and wait for it to get dark." Sun Weiguo said calmly.

The soldiers were out of breath, and even special forces like Sun Weiguo were sweating, which showed how tiring these skirmishes were.

The Japanese troops were dispatched again, and they sent six squads to disperse the search on a squad-based basis.

The teams began to conduct a carpet search of the vicinity, but because they were unfamiliar with the terrain, they still found nothing.

In desperation, the Japanese army withdrew into the city again, this time the Japanese closed the city gate, and all the troops were pulled to the city tower.

The Japanese troops in Pingding County were harassed by the main force of the district squad led by Sun Weiguo, and the Japanese soldiers of the two squadrons were extremely tired.

And Ito Hui, the leader of the Pingding County Garrison Squadron, who was in charge of leading the main sweep area squad of his squadron, was not only tired but also annoyed now.

As soon as their troops set out from Chengguan Town, they began to encounter attacks, and the Japanese troops would encounter bullet attacks as they walked.

The district squads that attacked their own troops were small in number, they were in groups of three or five, and after a single shot, they turned around and ran.

By the time he pursued him, the other party was already gone.

Although Pingding County was occupied by the Japanese army, the Japanese army was not familiar with the terrain of Pingding County.

Ito Teru can't remember how many times he's been attacked along the way, and what makes Ito even more annoyed is that the marksmanship of these district squads is really not very good.

They killed six Japanese soldiers, but wounded thirteen, seven of whom were seriously wounded.

The killed Japanese soldiers can be buried on the spot and dealt with after the elimination of the area squad, but these wounded need to be taken care of.

In particular, seven seriously wounded, they alone wasted fourteen Japanese soldiers carrying them on stretchers.

"Baga Ya Road, damn the guerrillas, die, die!" Ito Teru sat on the broken wall of Nanzhuang Village, and he shouted angrily.

The tired Japanese soldiers sat on the ground, nine light machine guns were erected, and the tireless Japanese shooters who were beaten by the cold guns from time to time strafed all around to prevent the guerrillas from approaching.

Zhong Jian took what Sun Weiguo said about the sparrow war, especially Liu Xi, who has been appointed and the leader of the fourth squad, under his command, the fourth squad killed and wounded twelve Japanese soldiers, this Liu Xi was recommended by Sun Weiguo to Zhong Jian to be promoted to the squad leader, and when dealing with the search force before, Liu Xi's performance was very outstanding.

"District Captain, I took a closer look, if you kill a Japanese soldier, they will bury it on the spot and will not affect the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, but if you wound a Japanese soldier, they will have to separate two Japanese soldiers to take care of the wounded, so I suggest that instead of killing the Japanese soldiers, it is better to wound them." Liu Xi, the fourth squad leader, found Zhong Jian and said his suggestion.

"This kid Weiguo not only has outstanding marksmanship, but also commands the troops very well, I don't see it, this eye is also accurate, you kid is a talent. Convey my order to hurt the little devil as much as possible, and of course it is not wrong to kill the little devil. Zhong Jian gave the order in pain.

The garrison squadron was harassed by the two infantry squads of the district squad, and it could be said that it was miserable, and Ito Hui was eager to kill the district squad, but he could not find the district squad.

In desperation, Ito Teru could only spend the night in Nanzhuang Village temporarily, preparing to continue the search area team tomorrow.

The sky gradually darkened, and Pingding County was silent, and occasionally a few dog barks could be heard in the county seat.

The machine-gun squadron stationed on the castle tower had already begun to rest, and two squads of Japanese soldiers patrolled back and forth on the castle tower.

The Third Brigade is going to carry out the mission of the North China Front Headquarters tomorrow, and they can only tolerate the Eighth Route Military Region squad that attacked and harassed them during the day.

The little devil doesn't plan to fight with the district team, but the district team has the idea of competing with them.

The main force of the district squad has been pulled outside the county seat by Sun Weiguo at this time.
