Some people are made for war!

Although Xiao Siming was familiar with the history of the Anti-Japanese War and knew that the Japanese army retreated to Shouyang after attacking the Shangshe area and being ambushed by three detachments, he didn't know that because his soul crossed and flashed butterfly wings, the little devil set a trap in Changchi, waiting for him to enter the urn!

Although he didn't know the conspiracy of the Japanese captain, Xiao Siming intuitively felt that he had thought simply, and it would be very risky to pretend to be a Japanese army to sneak attack Changchi, so he decisively suspended the action plan.

This kind of intuition when encountering danger can only be found by those who have been fighting on the battlefield for a long time.

Some famous generals have rich battlefield experience, and they can clearly judge the enemy's troops, firepower, and combat intentions from the sound of guns.

Xiao Siming is not very old, but he can be alert at a critical time, and then decisively change the battle plan, and his ability to make decisions on the spot is not simple!

If it weren't the remnants of the First Squadron of the Second Brigade of the Japanese Army stationed in Changchi, it would be nice to replace it with troops from another division of the Japanese Army, disguised as Japanese soldiers to attack them secretly, it would definitely be an instant hit. Not anymore!

You can't sneak attack Changchi, it's okay to ambush in Aozipo, anyway, it's all about fighting devils, where the conditions are right!

The highway passes by the side of Aozipo Village, which is 50 or 60 meters away from the village.

The bunkers built by the independent battalion are very particular: the courtyard walls of the villagers in the village have been opened, and the courtyards are connected to each other; Ladders are placed under the house to facilitate access to the roof; Individual bunkers are dug under the wall near the side of the road, and when you go out, you can aim and shoot, and when you retreat, you can go back to the yard to avoid shells and bullets; A trench was dug along the base of the wall, covered with bales of sorghum straw and corn straw, which were well concealed.

This fortification is Xiao Siming's reference to the experience of digging fortifications in the battle of Songzhuang in the Jizhong Plain in history, and it was absolutely advanced in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War!

The position of the grenadier platoon is laid out on a high ground behind the village, the field of vision is wide, the firing range is equally wide, and the artillery fire can cover 500 meters in front and behind the road!

This was the first battle of the grenadier platoon, and it was also the first time that the entire Eighth Route Army system used grenadiers against the enemy.

Artillery platoon commander Zhang Huaide rubbed his hands excitedly and pulled Xiao Siming to inspect and guide.

The artillery platoon replenished some soldiers from the rescued soldiers in Yuxian County, including those from the mortar battalion of the 17th Division, as well as the lost artillery personnel of Zeng Wanzhong's Third Army and Sun Lianzhong's 26th Army. These fighters are familiar with mortars, but they are all using grenadiers for the first time, and they have no bottom in their hearts!

Xiao Siming's method is very simple, that is, let Zhang Huaide divide the 1,000-meter road in front and behind and the field on the west side of the highway into squares, calculate the firing range, impact point in advance, and calculate the number of medicine kits. After the battle began, the artillery bombardment of square by square completely scattered the Japanese army.

According to the battle plan, the task of the artillery platoon was to shell the Japanese troops marching at both ends of the village with grenadiers. As for the devils on the road in front of the village, they were the focus of this ambush, and the machine gun platoon and the infantry platoons were responsible for eliminating them.

In order to avoid being surrounded by little devils, Xiao Siming deliberately dug fortifications in the direction of the mountains to the north behind the village, and put a squad to defend, if necessary, let the troops retreat through a trench that communicates with the village.

While the troops were working on fortifications, Xiao Siming wrote a letter and sent someone back to the county seat to hand it over to Chen Yisheng and Chen Desheng, the commander of the special agent platoon, so that they could prepare for battle.

Because there is no help from the villagers, the soldiers are digging the fortifications themselves, and everyone is working hard, some use the pickaxes and shovels of the villagers, and some use the small sapper shovels of the captured Japanese soldiers, and they are very busy.

Mei Ying had never done this kind of work before, so she couldn't help, but she didn't want to be left alone, so she also ran to help dig the fortifications. As a result, wherever she went, the fortifications were dug quickly, and the quality was good!

When Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui finally inspected the fortifications of each platoon, they saw Mei Ying.

Seeing that Mei Ying's forehead was covered with sweat, Xiao Siming didn't care that Wang Lushui and the soldiers were watching, he reached out and held Mei Ying's hand, and when he saw the blood blisters on his hands, he was distressed, so he directly cut off a jujube thorn from a clump of mountain jujube trees next to him, took Mei Ying's jade hand, broke the blood blisters, and complained that she was blind and let her stay behind.

Mei Ying was ashamed, her forehead, face, ears, and white neck were all crimson!

As a result, when Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui finished inspecting the position and returned to the temporary headquarters set up in the village, seeing that it was convenient for Wang Lushui to go out, Mei Ying flashed out, blushed, and said to Xiao Siming hatefully: "Your military age is short and young, and you do not meet the conditions for marriage. I'm three years older than you, so we're not a good fit! You are not allowed to think about me in the future, and you can't do anything to embarrass me in front of others! If you don't change it, I won't follow you! I, I'm going to go to the chiefs and sue you for being a hooligan and molesting women! ”

Xiao Siming laughed out loud: "You're not a woman, you're a girl!" ”

was so angry that Mei Ying scolded "shameless" hatefully, turned around and left!

Looking at Mei Ying's back, Xiao Siming said self-deprecatingly: "That's it, I'm still coming back from abroad, feudal!" Guard! ”

Wang Lushui came back at this time, and met Mei Ying, who was full of crimson and puffing up in the courtyard, and asked with concern: "Xiaomei, what's wrong?" ”

Mei Ying lowered her head, and the mosquito snorted and said "It's okay", and ran away!

Back in the house, Wang Lushui asked Xiao Siming: "What happened to Mei Ying?" ”

Xiao Siming looked innocent: "What's wrong?" ”

Wang Lushui looked serious: "I can tell you, don't violate discipline!" ”

Xiao Siming smiled, and even saved his answer.

Time passes slowly in waiting.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, two Japanese motorcycles suddenly appeared on the highway and drove in the direction of the county seat.

Xiao Siming, who was crawling in the fortifications and holding binoculars to observe, glanced at each other and ordered all the troops to enter the position.

After the motorcycle, it was not until half past four that the Japanese infantry finally appeared on the road.

It seems that the little devil was really ambushed by our army in Shangshe and retreated in embarrassment!

The devil who has been hit again and again is really alert. On the highway, there are 5 spearheads walking in front. About 1,000 meters behind the spearhead is an infantry squad. 200 meters behind the infantry squad is the main force of the infantry squadron of the devil.

About 500 meters behind this infantry squadron, there was another infantry squadron, followed by a Japanese machine gun squadron, an artillery squad, and a transport team.

This transport team should be the team sent by the transport team left in Yuxian County, and more than a dozen rubber-tyred carts are all pulling devils, wounded soldiers and supplies.

The Devil's machine gun squadron consisted of 173 men and twelve Type 92 heavy machine guns. The artillery squad is 55 people and there are two Type 92 infantry guns!

About 500 meters behind the convoy, there was another squadron of devil infantry.

Behind this infantry squadron, there was the rearguard unit of the Japanese army. The distance is too far for the telescope to see clearly.

On the field by the roadside, there was a search detachment of the Japanese army, about the size of a small team, forming a straggler line, waving plaster flags, looking around as they went, and firing a few shots from time to time.

The little devil is equipped with echelons, which can ensure that the entire marching team takes care of the front and back, and can respond quickly in case of attack!

This Japanese army, which was supposed to have five squadrons, let Xiao Siming and them eliminate 70, and it seems that after the ambush in the Shangshe area, there were at least more than 100 casualties, and the total loss of one-fifth of the total troops. However, none of the squadrons of the Japanese army should have been eliminated as a formation, but the squadrons were not fully manned.

The rear guard unit should still be a two-squadron formation.

The telescope did not find the marching column of the Japanese brigade headquarters, it seems that the tactical quality of this devil brigade captain is really good, leading the brigade headquarters to move in the rear guard troops, ready to fight back at any time!

The little devil is afraid that the three teams will chase after him!

Wang Lushui put down the binoculars and said excitedly to Xiao Siming, "Fight?" The Japanese did not find us, and as soon as they opened fire, the squadron of the devil's avant-garde was beaten down, and then it was easy to fight! It will soon get dark and we can withdraw from the battle at any time! ”

Xiao Siming shook his head and said to Qiu Wei, the platoon leader who was following him: "Pass the order, let go of the devil's vanguard squadron, and concentrate firepower to hit the second infantry squadron, machine gun squadron, and artillery squad of the Japanese army!" The artillery platoon should not open fire first, and when the Japanese rearguard unit ran to reinforce after we started, concentrate artillery fire on the rearguard unit! The whole battalion is called by the sound of my gun, I don't shoot, no one is allowed to shoot! ”

Wang Lushui was a little worried, and said: "If we fight like this, we are likely to be attacked by devils on both sides!" ”

Xiao Siming didn't care, and said lightly: "It's about to get dark, the little devil's enemy is unknown, if he wants to attack us, he has to see if he has the guts!" If you are not afraid of death, just come! ”

Under the gaze of Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui, the Japanese soldiers passed the road in front of the village.

It may be that the defeat affected the morale, these 5 devil soldiers look listless, and they have no ferocity at all!

After the devil's sharp soldiers, the devil's infantry squad and the infantry squadron that followed behind swaggered past under the gaze of the fighters.

The devil soldiers seemed to be in a hurry to flee back to the county seat of Yuxian to rest, although everyone was like a frosted eggplant, but the pace was fast, and none of them deliberately walked slowly. It seems that if you go slowly, the pursuers behind will catch up!

Just after the first devil squadron passed, Xiao Siming ordered in a low but powerful voice: "Pass it on, prepare to fight!" ”

500 meters is a mile, usually I don't feel the distance, at this time the soldiers are highly nervous, only feel that the 500 meters between the two devil squadrons is too far, too far!

Slowly, the second squadron of the Devil's infantry, which was in the middle of the Devil's marching ranks, came up, followed by a machine-gun squadron, an artillery squad and a transport team. The sound of clattering leather boots and the squeaky sound of rubber-tyred carts are intertwined.

It's closer, it's closer, the little devil's nose and eyebrows can be seen clearly, and even the expression on his face can be seen clearly.

The positions of Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui were in the middle of the entire ambush position.

When the devil infantry squadron walked in front of him and the machine gun squadron walked in front of him, Xiao Siming roared "hit", and the 38 big cover in his hand "horn hook" made a crisp sound, and a bullet flew out and hit the head of the devil lieutenant who was walking behind the infantry squadron and in front of the machine gun squadron!
