CHAPTER XXIII

The ancestral hall of the village

"Dad, the stone said that the devil has increased his troops, and it seems that the purpose is here." Jiang Xiaoyu said with some worry that Zhao Youfu and the guerrillas did not know where they went, and they could not be contacted now, so when they asked their superiors, they said that they were on a mission, and that the county brigade was not in the defense area here, and I heard that they were transferred to participate in a secret mission. Now the safety of the village depends on the children, the girls, the women. If the devil comes to attack, he can only take the children and the old man to hide in the tunnel.

"Yes, I also feel that they are coming for us, the news that there are wounded in the village cannot be hidden, and the devils have recruited a lot of spies and traitors, there will always be news reaching their ears, it seems that we have to prepare early." Zhao Xiucai also thinks like this, now the defense in the village is very weak, even the guerrillas can't stop the devils here, the devils have been eyeing here, they won't give up easily, with the previous style, slaughtering the village is the most likely, this is their own home, others can go, they can't, not only protect the living, but also protect those ancestors, the ancestors of the village, as the leader of the group, you must consider the whole village, to let the village pass on, development.

"What do you think we should do?" Jiang Xiaoyu is just a political cadre, he can't command a war, he is not familiar with many things here, and he can't command blindly, so it's better to ask the village what he thinks, in the past, Zhao Youfu was ordering and arranging such things, but now, he can only rely on the village itself, hoping that the devil will come later and give the village more time to prepare.

The patriarch knew that there was no good way for the time being, so he could only hide first and say: "Inform it, let's move outside during the day, once it's night, everyone goes down to the tunnel and sleeps in the tunnel, it's nothing to sleep in the tunnel in the current season, it doesn't rain much outside, it's not humid." "There are people outside during the day, and they are all hidden at night, even if the devil comes, the person is fine, and now there are too many wounded in the village, and there are many old people, so there can be no accident.

"This is a good solution, I'll tell you about it." Jiang Xiaoyu heard this method, and thought about it, it was really good, the current tunnel has been renovated for more than a year, and it is no longer only two meters like the beginning, the terrain here is high and the water level is low, so you can dig very deep, and most of everyone's tunnels are at a height of three meters. Absolute security, even the abandoned tunnels are preserved, which are already full of traps for devils. It is also the last defense of the village.

The county devil headquarters

"Report Shaozuo, it's ready, and you can leave at any time." The herald under Inoue Mino reports. The captains of his subordinates standing in the room were all waiting for Inoue's orders.

"Very good, this time we gathered three squadrons of Imperial warriors, as well as those path-finding security regiments, we will definitely be able to catch those who only know how to hide in the shadows, so that our Empire's outstanding soldiers will have another chance to gain military merits, and the Empire is waiting for our good news." Inoue Sanye made up his mind, although he achieved good results at the beginning and was rewarded by the empire, but then it was the constant resistance of those people, they did not have excellent soldiers and advanced weapons, but they defeated themselves again and again, and let themselves suffer great humiliation, this time we must sweep away our defense area, let those ordinary people become obedient citizens of the empire, and grow food for our holy war.

"Yes, we will be victorious, long live the Empire!" Several captains replied at the same time. Coming here, it slowly became the rear, and the warlike few people were not very satisfied with this arrangement, and they had long wanted to go outside to sweep and occupy the land for the Holy War of the Empire.

Inoue Sanye looked at his subordinates who were about to move, and it seemed that there was no need to say much: "Take advantage of the darkness to set off, each of you remember your own goals, and you must complete your respective tasks tonight, and when the sun rises tomorrow, it will be the time for us to triumph." After speaking, he was ready to set off, but there was a sense of shame in his heart when he took the brand-new saber, when he set out on the expedition, his saber was specially distributed, and they all said that the knife was dead, but he lost it.

Zhaojia Village

"Kill, attack" Xiu'er's little girl held an adjutant knife and slashed everywhere in the woods, this is the saber that Zhao Shi brought back, no one else paid attention, so she gave Xiu'er to play, and when she was later recognized by an injured cadre, this knife had been cut by Xiu'er and there were gaps everywhere, and everyone didn't care. If you let Inoue Sanye know that his love knife is ruined by a little girl like this, he will definitely be angry to death, this is the biggest shame for him, fortunately, I don't know the Tao yet, I can live for a while longer.

After nightfall, the gate of the county seat opened again, and the devil puppet army left one after another.

"Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick ......." In a cellar in the county seat, a telegram was sent.

"More than 1,100 people in a brigade of devils and more than 1,000 puppet soldiers left the county with an unknown purpose." After receiving such a telegram, Jiang Xiaoyu immediately informed the village.

"The devil has already been dispatched." Zhao Xiucai hurriedly asked, these little devils are really fast, fortunately, there was news before.

"Xiaoyu's sister-in-law, the devil is here." Zhao Shishi also arrived, and after reading the telegram, he hurriedly informed, although the people in his hands are now children and women, and these people can also eliminate devils.

Soon a few people left the village, although they were all very old, but they were all suffering ordinary people and there was no problem in sending a letter, besides, they would not come back today, for safety, wait until the devil retreated.

The devil who had just left the county town still wanted to give the people a surprise attack, and some of the soldiers in the team even thought about how much loot they could grab. In the past, there were few people in his team, and those people were hidden and could not find them, but now when I enter the village at night, I will definitely catch them all.

The night casts a veil of mystery over the village without lights, and a pair of devils and puppet soldiers quietly approach Zhaojia Village. There was no dog barking, indicating that it had not been discovered, and it was still the same as before, first surrounding the village, and then quietly entering the village.

"Boom"

There was no dog barking, the explosions were continuous, and soon the devils and the puppet army were hiding, the puppet army's reaction was surprisingly fast, compared with the usual training, it can be said that they have become superhuman, at this time they found out that such a loud explosion, the whole village actually did not move, it seems that either the people are sleeping too dead or they have been hiding.

The people hiding in the shadows looked at the devils who used to oppress them to be bombed, and they secretly applauded, in fact, those explosions were still the people in the village, and they were not accurate in shooting, and at night the light of the muzzle of the gun would leak out of their position, and the grenades did not have these problems, as long as they pulled away, knocked out, and threw out, 'boom'. That's it, these ordinary people are good at farming, they are very accurate in their work, throwing a grenade is still very simple, even if there are occasional times when I am nervous and forget to pull the string, it is not a big deal. Because most of them carried a dozen grenades, enough for them to squander.

The next process is the gunshots of the devils and the grenades of the common people, constantly remembering. Practice has shown that although bullets are powerful, grenades are even more powerful. A bullet will not necessarily hit someone, but a grenade thrown will hurt at least one person, and those who forget to pull the string cannot be counted. Zhao Shishi's grenades are enough, and the last time he moved either bullets or grenades, he was even more generous to use.

And the nearby villages, although they don't know what the situation is, the devils and puppet troops in Zhaojia Village have suffered heavy losses. It's also good to think about their results.

"Regiment leader, you see these fellows fighting, they are no worse than us, no one has been injured so far, but there are already dead and wounded outside." One of the guards said to the regimental commander who was recuperating from his wounds. I didn't see anything else, so I said that the grenade was still called a quasi, and when I saw an old man with gray hair, he threw the grenade in the middle of the three little devils at once, which was no worse than the veteran in the regiment. If I hadn't known in advance, I would have thought they were all retired soldiers.

"I saw it just now, these people are very flexible, you look at them, some are still children, some are gray-haired old people, but they can eliminate devils by hiding in the tunnels. I really can't underestimate it, I was worried at first, there are a lot of devils, I heard that the garrison in the city has come out except for the station. "The regiment commander is also the commander of the main regiment in the army, and he fights by relying on brave charges to achieve victory after victory. Today, the people here have taught him a lesson, a vivid lesson, no matter how brave and powerful you are, it is useless to find where the enemy is.

The devils outside are all elite soldiers, but they can't find where the enemy is, there are grenade explosions everywhere, they can only hide in a corner and slowly look for the enemy, but in this dark night, even if there is a moon in the sky, it is difficult to find the direction of the grenade, even if they find it occasionally, when they get there, there is nothing. The light of the grenade explosion was very good to expose them to the common people, and then the baptism of the grenade.

Dozens of people in the village were mobilized, and those nurses and guards also came to participate in the battle, and slowly the devils knew that as long as they left the village, there was no danger, and the attack in the village could only be in the village, and they couldn't reach it outside, so they slowly retreated. When they gathered outside the village, they found that they had lost half of their manpower in just one hour, and the losses brought by the security army were not large (although the puppet army entered the village early, they all lay down as soon as they heard the explosion, and they did not make any movement, and when they retreated, they threw the gun in their hands and ran away).

The devils also know what kind of goods the security army is, seeing that the losses are so large, and the loss of weapons and ammunition is even more, there is no way but to send a telegram to Captain Inoue Mino in the county town to ask, hoping for tactical guidance.

The order to retreat relieved them, and they could finally leave this area, for the devils this is their hell, and unknown death is the most terrible.

"Bastards, a bunch of stupid people, more than ten times the number of soldiers were actually wiped out so much by the enemy, you still don't know who the enemy is, are you pigs?" The three squadron leaders and the puppet army commander who returned to the county town received an angry scolding from Inoue Sanye, who had planned for so long and sent such elite soldiers, not to mention no victory, and lost so many elites, which made Inoue Sanye difficult to accept for a while.

"Yes, Your Excellency, we have been under heavy bombardment, and those enemies are hiding in the shadows, and we cannot find them, so we suggest that we ask the planes to bomb them and destroy them all." One of the squadron commanders under his command suggested. In that hellish village was full of traps, explosions, and I finally got out and never wanted to go there again. It's like a monster with a big mouth, waiting for its prey to come to its door.

"Elimination, don't I want to. But are you here to farm for the empire, there is no food, how can our soldiers on the front line fight, we need these common people, although they don't like us, but the empire needs them. "Captain Inoue Mino has no choice, the plane, is it easy to use, but sometimes you can still borrow it.
