Chapter 113: The Battle of Xiaozhugou (2)
At about ten o'clock in the morning, the guard post guarding the mouth of Xiaozhugou sent a signal that the devil had approached Xiaozhugou.
Liu Tianshu and Zhang Gouyu glanced at each other, and then whispered to the soldiers beside them: "Comrades, the devil is about to enter the ditch, everyone is ready to fight." ”
The fighters hiding in the trenches began to check the bullets, while some of the fighters took out grenades and melon grenades and carefully set them aside.
It is a pity that there are not many grenades and Japanese-style melon grenades in the guerrillas, and there are less than ten in the entire second platoon, and all ten of them are handed over to fighters with good grenadier skills.
At the same time, the crooked machine guns of the second platoon were ready to shoot behind a boulder in the middle of the position.
Liu Tianshu lay in the trench, staring at the ditch, and after about ten minutes, he saw the enemy's figure appearing at the ditch, and the one walking in front was still the Imperial Army.
About a platoon of Imperial Allies marched into the ditch with guns in their hands, and under the reprimand of the officers, there were several men in civilian clothes, who were carrying shell guns in their hands, and their waists were bent like shrimps, and they looked around with thieves' eyebrows.
Liu Tianshu took a closer look and found Deng Chaoshuang in these plain clothes.
At this time, Deng Chaoshuang was wearing a black shirt and carrying a box cannon on his shoulder, but the box cannon was held in his hand at this time.
As soon as he entered the ditch, his eyes kept looking into the mountains and forests on the left, and at the same time he was very careful to hide his body behind the Imperial Allied Army and the detectives.
Some of the soldiers in the second platoon guarding the position had already recognized Deng Chaoshuang on the avenue, and several of them began to curse hatefully.
Zhang Gouyu stared at these Imperial Allies and plainclothes detectives, but their blocking position was not set at the mouth of the ditch, but at a turn in the ditch.
At the beginning, someone suggested to Liu Tianshu that once the devils attacked, the guerrillas should set up a blocking position at the mouth of the ditch, but this plan was vetoed by Liu Tianshu.
Liu Tianshu thinks that once the devil attacks. There will definitely be mortars or infantry artillery to cooperate with the action, the mouth of the ditch is vulnerable to the attack of the devil's artillery fire, but the ditch is not, due to the curved road, the terrain in the ditch is complicated, the devil's artillery fire can not play a good role.
Seeing that these imperial troops were still about 400 meters away from the blocking position. The captain just watched calmly from the side, and Zhang Gouyu just made the soldiers calm down.
In fact, the detectives who led the way in front had long known the location of the guerrilla blocking position, because there was only that section of the ditch, and the bamboo and wood had been cut down in advance, revealing an open field with an excellent view.
When the Imperial Association Army and Deng Chaoshuang were about to walk to the edge of the ditch that had been cut down, the devil with a shining bayonet on his shoulder appeared at the mouth of the ditch with arrogant steps.
When I saw the Imperial Cooperative Army rushing in front of me carefully breaking away from the cover of bamboo and wood, and appeared in front of the second row without reservation. Liu Tianshu sighed in his heart, slowly raised his rifle, and aimed at the officer of the Imperial Association Army who was holding a pistol and constantly urging his subordinates to move forward.
The crisp sound of gunfire suddenly rang out in Xiaozhugou, and a cloud of blood mist suddenly burst out on the head of the officer of the Imperial Cooperative Army, and then his body slowly fell backwards.
The sound of the gunfire was the signal, and the soldiers of the second platoon immediately raised their guns and fired at the Imperial Allied Army below, and the Imperial Allied Army who rushed to the open area heard the gunshots, and some immediately lay down on the spot. Some ran back in a panic, and Deng Chaoshuang heard the gunshots. But he flew under a stone that he had been looking forward to, and pressed his body tightly there, allowing the Imperial Allied Army around him to be hit by a bullet and fall down screaming.
The more than a dozen Imperial Allied troops who rushed to the front were beaten by the guerrillas' condescending rapid fire and screamed again and again, and seven or eight Imperial Allied troops went directly back to their hometowns, as for the wounded Imperial Allied troops. He lay on the ground and wailed.
Of the four detectives who led the way, two were hit by bullets and fell on their backs, and in the other two, Deng Chaoshuang reacted extremely quickly and saw that the situation was not good. He immediately ducked under a rocker on the side of the road, while the other injured his leg and rolled into a ditch on the side of the road.
Cao Xilai, the commander of the first battalion of the Imperial Army, heard the sound of gunfire in front of him, and at the same time saw that his brother was falling, and he was anxious, and immediately ordered the troops behind to find cover, and at the same time passed through the woods far away and kept shooting at the position of the second platoon.
Isoya was riding an Oriental horse, walking behind the troops.
This time the raid on Huangshi Village was dominated by the Isogu Brigade, which dispatched an infantry squadron, a machine gun squadron and an artillery squadron, with a total strength of about 400 people, plus the strength of a battalion of the Imperial Allied Army, his total strength on this route reached 7 or 800 people.
In his opinion, the elimination of the guerrillas, which only had more than 100 people, was simply a knife to kill chickens, but the captain of the Yokoyama Wing told him to ensure that the operation was a complete success, and with Aoki's reminder, he decided to take command himself.
If it weren't for Aoki reminding him to be careful, he wouldn't even want to bring the machine gun squadron.
Hearing the sound of gunfire in front of him, he listened intently for a while, and found that only a Japanese-style crooked machine gun seemed to be roaring, and the rest was the sound of small arms such as 38 large covers and shell guns.
Even the explosion of a grenade, he didn't hear it.
With this bit of firepower, you want to stop the pace of the imperial army? Isoya smiled disdainfully in his heart and ordered the first squadron to immediately go up and take over the attack of the Imperial Concord Army.
For these imperial allies who defected to the empire, Isoya looked down on them from the bottom of his bones.
Although their equipment is not bad, but the heavy weapons are seriously insufficient, these imperial troops in his opinion, at most, are bullying and bullying the common people, doing some work to maintain law and order, and if you really want to destroy the enemy, you have to take action from the imperial army.
Cao Xilai commanded the troops to shoot at the guerrillas from a distance for ten minutes, when he saw an arrogant devil officer approaching, and the stiff Chinese words sounded in his ears.
"Your, coward's work, get out of the way, and let your insight see the power of my Great Imperial Japanese Army." As he spoke, the officer brutally ordered his men to squeeze to the front, and a small group of Japanese soldiers immediately lay down on the side of the avenue, ready to attack, while several grenadiers were erected on the side of the avenue.
With the swing of the officer's saber and the shouting of the shot, the grenadiers began to fire shells at the position of the second platoon, while two Type 92 heavy machine guns were erected on the side of the avenue, and the bullets were spitting wildly towards the blocking position of the second platoon.
I have to say that the devil's reaction and combat experience are incomparable to the Imperial Cooperative Army.
In less than five minutes, the devil who had grabbed it was ready for everything, and the bullets rained down on the blocking position on the hillside in front of them, while the shells made a terrifying whistling sound in the air.
Liu Tianshu saw that the devil's counterattack was very ferocious, and at the same time, the shells began to fly towards their positions, and hurriedly whispered: "Comrades, calm down, don't show your head for the time being, pay attention to concealment." ”
When the soldiers of the first and second squads heard this, they all quietly withdrew their guns and leaned tightly against the trenches, allowing the devil's bullets to fly around in front of the position.
The grenadier shot by the devil did not fall on the blocking position because of the range, but only blew up the hillside in front of the position.
Liu Tianshu carefully hid between the two boulders, paying attention to the movements of the devil.
Although the devil's machine gun fire was also coming towards his position, he saw the machine gun bullet chain moving in this direction, so he immediately lay down, waited until the bullet chain moved away, and paid attention again.
Seeing that the Chinese troops on the hillside in front of him were suppressed by their own firepower, the devil commander couldn't help but show joy on his face, waved the command knife in his hand, and shouted to kill Gege.
Dozens of devils who were ready, led by a squad, immediately began to rush towards the position of the second platoon.
Liu Tianshu stared at the devils under the hillside, and saw that those devils climbed the first steep slope and rushed towards this side, because of the terrain, the machine gun fire arranged by the devils in the back was blocked by their figures, and immediately shouted and hit, and the gun in his hand fired directly at a devil Wu Chang who was running happily, the devil Wu Chang was rushing hard, a bullet hit his ****, with a sharp pain coming, the Wu Chang looked down and saw that there was a blood hole in the ****, and he couldn't help scolding. It slowly fell.
At this time, the soldiers of the second platoon got up one after another and fired at the devil soldiers who rushed madly, and the bullets fired by dozens of long and short guns immediately weaved a net of death in front of the position, and more than a dozen devil soldiers were hit, with full of unwillingness, slowly fell, and then rolled down the gentle slope.
However, these devils are indeed strong, the second platoon's fierce return fire did not make them flinch at all, but even more aroused the ferocity of the devils, many devils began to look for cover on the spot, and then fired back at the position of the second platoon, at the same time, two crooked handles were lifted up, and the devil machine gunner lay on the spot and fired bullets desperately towards the position of the second platoon.
The two fighters in the first squad had just fired a few shots when they were hit by the bullets coming from the devils, let out a muffled grunt, and fell headlong into the trench.
The rest of the warriors were also red-eyed at this time, and they only cared about firing bullets at the devil.
Those fighters with good bomb throwing skills saw the devil rushing to about 30 meters, and immediately grabbed the grenade next to them and threw it with all their strength towards the devil's attacking team.
Seven or eight grenades exploded in the ranks of the devils, and the smoke flashed with the figures of the devils being blown up. Seeing this, Liu Tianshu put down the rifle that had run out of bullets, and swept towards the devil's team with a shell gun, and the bullets in a magazine ran out in a blink of an eye, but as for how many devils he had knocked down, he didn't know at all.
The soldiers of the second platoon took advantage of the fact that the devil was obscured by the smoke of the explosion, and kept firing at the devil, and countless screams came from the smoke.
The devil commander didn't expect that his troops were about to rush up, but they were dizzy by a grenade from the other side, and saw that the troops suffered serious losses and their morale was seriously damaged, so they had to order the troops to withdraw back.
Seeing the devil retreating, Liu Tianshu stopped Zhang Gouyu's idea of preparing to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but asked each squad to quickly count the number of people, count the losses, and then quickly retreat.
Half an hour's blocking has been completed, and there is naturally no need for him to fight the devil here. (To be continued.) )
