Tang Xingye said: "Political commissar, tell the truth. Brother Yu is now the most stressed among us. Now he's not just worried about his sister-in-law, he's worried about us as well. At the end of the day, we have too few troops on our hands. If we really had a regiment of troops, we wouldn't be so miserable. ”

"Commissar! This is a telegram from the military department that has just been received. Gu Zhenghai walked into the temporary headquarters in the tunnel, and before he had time to drink a sip of water, Miao Yong walked in front of Gu Zhenghai with the telegram he had just received and handed the telegram to Gu Zhenghai.

"The military department is calling at this time, what will happen?!" Gu Zhenghai muttered in his heart, but he still took the telegram and read it. After seven or eight minutes, Gu Zhenghai finished reading the content of the telegram, the enemy on his face suddenly disappeared, and hurriedly said to Miao Yong: "Go!" Call the regimental commander! ”

"Yes!" Miao Yong answered, turned around and left.

After about a quarter of an hour, Hong Yu walked in from outside and asked, "Commissar, is there anything to find me?!" ”

After Gu Zhenghai beckoned Hong Yu to sit down, he pushed the telegram on the table in front of Hong Yu and said, "Take a look first!" This is a telegram from the military department that has just been received. ”

Hong Yu picked up the telegram, quickly read the content of the telegram, laughed, and said: "I didn't expect that there is another unit of ours operating near us, it seems that the sky is endless for us!" ”

Gu Zhenghai asked, "Are you going to contact them?!" ”

Hong Yu thought for a while, shook his head and said: "For the time being, I still don't contact them, and tell the military department that the little devil has suffered such a big loss from them, and he will definitely not give up." Moreover, their location is too close to Jiujiang, even if the devils of Wuning do not have time to seek revenge on them, the devils of Jiujiang will not let them go. Let the military department remind them not only to pay attention to the situation in Wuning, but also to pay attention to the movements of the devils in Jiujiang. ”

"Good! I'll report your opinion to the military department at once! With that, Gu Zhenghai hurriedly walked out of the headquarters.

The sky has just turned white. Hong Yu took the people and started to get busy. After nearly half an hour of busy work, all the tricks in the village were hung up.

When Hong Yu and the others took advantage of the short time when the devils had not yet launched an attack and were busy filling their stomachs, Akita Reichiro ran to Shikokutaro's side and said, "Report to Your Excellency Shaozo, the supplies that Your Excellency General has replenished for us have arrived!" ”

Shikoku Taro nodded slightly and said, "Send the grain down and let the ministries hurry up and eat." ”

"Hey!" Reichiro Akita answered, turned and left. After Akita Reichiro left, Shikoku Taro looked at the various squadron leaders and squad leaders who were standing on the side waiting for orders, and said, "Gentlemen, I think you all already know the orders of Your Excellency the General. I won't repeat it anymore. Shikoku Taro paused slightly, and then exclaimed, "Yamaguchi-kun! ”

"Hey!" Lieutenant Shigeo Yamaguchi replied and took a step forward at the same time.

Shikokutaro said, "Yamaguchi-kun, it's 5:27 in the morning, I'll give you an hour to prepare, and in an hour, you will lead your troops to attack the village. I'll give you two hours, and if you can't lead the whole army within two hours, you can apologize for your seppuku! ”

"Hey!" Shigeo Yamaguchi replied and said, "Please rest assured, Your Excellency Shaozuo!" The humble duty must lead the troops to destroy all the people in the village within two hours! ”

An hour passed in a blink of an eye, Hong Yu and the others had just finished eating, and they were at the commanding heights of the village, observing the movements of the devils, when the sound of mortar shells rubbing against the air was heard in the sky. Hearing the voice, Hong Yu shouted loudly: "Hide! At the same time, he instinctively fell to the ground.

"Boom ......" As a series of cannonballs fell from the sky, the entire village raised a cloud of smoke and dust. Several places were also blown up by the devil's shells.

After the explosion of the shells, Hong Yu quickly got up from the ground, raised the telescope and looked at the entrance of the village. I saw about 200 devils, cautiously rushing towards the village with guns. Seeing this scene, Hong Yu took out the sniper rifle placed on the side, adjusted the focus of the scope, and Hong Yu aimed at the devil lieutenant who was walking among the Japanese soldiers and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!" As Hong Yu's gunshots rang out, all the people resting in the tunnel returned to the ground, and one by one the dark barrels of guns protruded from the reserved brick holes in the sandwich wall. The whole village was full of sharpshooters, from the top to the bottom, from the millstone to the trees.

Just when Gu Zhenghai and the others were preparing for battle, Shigeo Yamaguchi took advantage of the cover of the soldiers to come to the second lieutenant lying on the ground, and glanced at the second lieutenant who was shot in the center of his eyebrows, Shigeo Yamaguchi's brows immediately furrowed, looked ahead, and said secretly in his heart: "They have snipers, what should I do?!" ”

After hesitating for a while, Shigeo Yamaguchi took out his pistol, glanced at his men on the left and right, and shouted, "Keep attacking!" ”

Hearing the order, the Japanese soldiers, who were still in a panic just now, stood up from the ground one after another, and cautiously continued to walk forward with their guns in hand.

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, Shigeo Yamaguchi has led the troops into the village!" Akita Reichiro watched the attacking troops enter the village, and with a big smile on his face, he couldn't help but remind.

"I saw it!" Shikokutaro put down the binoculars and said, "Akita-kun, don't you think there's something wrong?!" ”

"Something is wrong?!" Akita Reichiro heard Shikokutaro's inquiry, his brows wrinkled unconsciously, and after a while, Akita Reichiro, who couldn't think of an answer, respectfully saluted Shikokutaro and said, "Ignorant and ignorant, please show your Excellency the general!" ”

Shikokutaro said, "There was only one gunshot just now, and there was no more gunfire after that. According to the habit of the branch, they would not have let us enter the village so easily. I suspect they set a trap in the village! ”

Akita Reichiro said: "Your Excellency, although there was only one gunshot just now, it is indeed very suspicious. But don't forget, you know, we have ammunition to replenish, and the village branch doesn't! Their bullets are one less than one. After such a long period of continuous fighting, the lowly felt that their ammunition had run out. It is now quite possible that they will hide in a corner of the village, waiting for our Imperial Army to approach, and then engage us in hand-to-hand combat in an attempt to snatch some ammunition from our soldiers. ”

"Roar!" Shikokutaro thought about it and nodded in agreement, just about to say something, "Bang... Bang..."A barrage of rifle shots rang out. Hearing the gunshots, Shikokutaro immediately raised his binoculars and looked into the village. Seeing that his soldiers were like no flies, they put their guns indiscriminately, and fell down one after another.

Seeing this scene, Shikokutaro's heart that had just been put down hung again. After staring at the village for a while, Shikoku Taro commanded in a cold voice: "Nanfang-kun, you lead a team and carry explosives bags to reinforce Yamaguchi-kun." Blow up this village for me! ”

"Hey!" Second Lieutenant Nanbu Ichiro answered and left the command post.

"Yaga! Keep going on the offensive for me! Whoever gives the retreat, dead dead drip! Saying that, Shigeo Yamaguchi shot and killed the two soldiers who had taken the lead in retreating, and personally led his troops into the village again.

Although the Japanese attack was very fierce, Hong Yu's counterattack was also very incisive. Facing the impregnable village that was defending, he launched many attacks in a row, and Shigeo Yamaguchi, who was bent on seeking military success, began to be a little more than he could do. It was at this time that Nanbu Ichiro came to Shigeo Yamaguchi with his troops.

Shigeo Yamaguchi saw Nanbu Ichiro and asked, "Nanbu-kun, why are you here?!" ”

Nanbu Ichiro said, "Lieutenant Yamaguchi, I am on the order of Shikoku Shosa, and I am leading my troops to reinforce you. Shaozo gave me the task of blowing up the village. ”

Shigeo Yamaguchi said, "Nanbu-kun, let your people prepare." In five minutes, I will lead my troops to attack the village again. Your men followed behind our attacking team and into the village. As for what happens next, it's up to you. ”

Nanbu Ichiro said, "Please rest assured! My men and I will not let you down. ”

Five minutes is not too short, but it is not too long. Soon after Gu Zhenghai sent people to collect the ammunition on the corpses of the devils who died in the village, the Japanese attack began. Look at the devils who are shouting and swarming. Tang Xingye, who was squatting beside Hong Yu, said: "Brother Yu, these devils don't seem to be right?!" ”

"What's wrong?!" Hong Yu asked.

Tang Xingye said: "Look behind them, everyone is holding a bag of explosives, what do they want to do?!" ”

Hong Yu was stunned and said, "The devil has suffered a loss, of course he has to take revenge." I guess they were trying to blow up our house. After that, Hong Yu raised his sniper rifle, aimed at the explosives bag in the hand of a devil, and decisively pulled the trigger. As the bullet flew out of the barrel at high speed, it drew a graceful arc in the air and hit the explosive bag directly. With a "boom", the devil with the explosive bag was the center, and all the devils within five or six meters around were affected.

With an example, the other soldiers in the village who were good at marksmanship also gave up the devils who rushed to the front, and aimed at the explosives bags in the hands of the devils behind them and started shooting.

"Eight Ga Ya Road!" Shikoku Taro, who was watching the battle from behind, saw that the soldiers were hit by Hong Yu and them one after another, and the anger in his heart instantly burned, only to feel as if he had been punched heavily in his chest, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then there was a sudden darkness in front of him.

"Your Excellency Shaozuo!" Akita Reichiro, who was standing on the side, saw Shikoku Taro suddenly fall forward, hurriedly hugged Shikoku Taro, and asked, "Your Excellency Shaoza, are you okay?!" ”

Shikoku Taro froze, shook his head, and said, "Order the Imperial Concord Army to send a battalion to reinforce Shigeo Yamaguchi." ”

"Hey!" Akita Reichiro answered, and immediately asked the herald to convey the order.
