A village protected by a common earthen enclosure in the Central Plains turned out to be a place of shame for the Takeshita Wing, and the sneak attack turned into a strong attack, and hundreds of soldiers took turns to attack, but they couldn't even gnaw a small village.

The gunfire on the earthen fence is very rhythmic, the light machine gun is always three short bursts, unhurried, only the strongest combat effectiveness of the Chinese army only use light machine guns in this way, there is a saying in the army, recruits are afraid of artillery, veterans are afraid of light machine guns, especially afraid of this kind of short point shooting, for the unsheltered attacking troops in the wilderness, it is simply a cough of death.

The Japanese army fought very hard, besieged on all sides, the troops were insufficient, and the Imperial Allied Army did not contribute to the work, one by one they were better than monkeys, shooting into the sky, lying on the ground like dead dogs. The power of the 38 bullets was too weak to penetrate the earthen wall, and the strafing of the crooked light machine gun could not collapse the earth fence, and a small barrier turned out to be an insurmountable Great Wall.

Takeshita Osa was seriously wounded, blind in one eye, he just stuffed the eyeball back into the eye socket, asked the military doctor to wrap it with a bandage, insisted on commanding the battle, the blood penetrated the bandage and flowed down, it was very terrifying, I don't know if Dazuo's head was blown up or what was wrong, command errors were frequent, and he let the soldiers launch a white-knuckle charge without preparing for fire, which was simply hitting the muzzle of the gun.

"Damn Takeshita, do you think you're Nogi Noshinori?" A staff officer complained in a low voice.

"I probably thought I was Xiahoudun." Another staff officer, who was familiar with the Three Kingdoms, responded.

Yoshiharu Takeshita was the successor of Okamoto Rangji as the unlucky captain of the 45th Wing, Okamoto Daisa had already disemboweled his stomach to thank the emperor, and died a dignified death, leaving these subordinates to suffer with the new Wing Captain, and the officers could not tolerate the old foundation of the 45th Wing to be explained to all the outsiders in this unknown small village in the Central Plains, and someone dared to propose: "Your Excellency, do you want to use infantry artillery to bombard at close range and solve the enemy." ”

Just now he was blown up by a grenade, Takeshita Daisa's head was concussed, but he definitely did not lose his mind, he let the infantry attack is to capture the enemy alive and avenge his eyeballs, seeing that the strong attack could not work, he calmly accepted the suggestion and let the artillery team go into battle.

Two Type 92 infantry guns dragged up, this kind of 70 mm artillery, commonly known as the "brigade gun", is the killer weapon of the Japanese infantry, because of its small size, light weight, can be carried by people and horses, extremely adaptable to the complex Chinese terrain, no matter how strong the Chinese military fortifications, as long as they come to a shot, it will definitely work.

The Japanese paid attention to shooting at close range, and the closer the distance, the more the firepower of the brigade guns could be brought into play, and the two guns advanced under the cover of light machine guns, and the infantry stopped the charge and fired separately.

The situation is very bad, the village is surrounded by enemies on all sides, it is estimated that there are at least nearly 1,000 people, fortunately there is this circle of earth enclosure blocking, otherwise it would have been broken through.

There is a firing port on the earthen fence, squatting behind to shoot, one hit is accurate, the little Japanese skirmisher line is very open, the earthy yellow military uniform is very good in the wilderness, the brothers are afraid of Lang Fei bullets, do not shoot easily, as long as the trigger is pulled, there will be a dog life reimbursement.

Suddenly, Chen Zikun raised the telescope and shouted: "It's not good, the devil is on the cannon." ”

Xia Xiaoqing hurriedly jumped up, retracted the shell with a bang, and the Remington shotgun aimed at the devil artillery steel helmet looming in the distance, and with a pull of the trigger, the steel helmet was gone.

The artillery soldiers who were about to open fire heard the sound of "dang chang", Cao Chang's steel helmet pierced a hole, fell to the ground and did not move, just wanted to pull him, another shot came, and then another person fell, and the rest of the artillery lay on the ground and shouted: "Machine gun cover!" ”

The Type 92 heavy machine gun roared angrily, raindrops of bullets splashed on the earthen fence, Xia Xiaoqing was unmoved, slowly loaded, and a shot hit the head of the machine gunner, exploding into a blood gourd on the spot, and the heavy machine gun was dumb.

"Grenadier! Fast! "The devil officer is hoarse, infantry guns and heavy machine guns are direct-fire weapons and cannot be well covered, while grenadiers can hide behind cover for parabolic fire, and there are no dead ends.

The grenadiers were shot out one after another, the explosions in the earthen enclosure were repeated, the morale of the imperial army was greatly boosted, and they were about to charge, when suddenly the other party began to return fire, and the shells whistled, and the grenadiers and shells were blown into a pile of pieces, and it can be discerned from the sound that this is a French-made Brand 60 mm mortar, one of the classic equipment of the Central Army of China.

The accuracy and power of the mortar, and the range are far superior to the grenadier, and the other side obviously has an expert who is proficient in artillery, and every shell falls on the firing position of the grenadier, and the imperial army suffered heavy losses and had to temporarily stop the offensive and adjust its tactics, anyway, the guerrilla army is already a boiled duck that cannot fly.

Takeshita sat in a forest five hundred meters away from Gongjia Village, and asked the military doctor to give him a new bandage, and the military doctor repeatedly persuaded the wing captain to rest and recuperate, but he was severely reprimanded.

The battle was unfavorable, but His Excellency Dazuo was full of confidence, and it would not be interesting to enter the village with a charge, and the more stubbornly the enemy resisted, the more it meant that Chen Zikun was here.

He called Xia Jingqi to him and gave him a task within his ability, the Imperial Association Army was not good at fighting, and his ability to oppress the good was slightly better than that of the Imperial Army, and he was sent to lead his subordinates to nearby villages to raise food for the Imperial Army and prepare for a long-term siege war.

"Hay!" Xia Jingqi is on his heels, full of energy, he is the best at doing this.

The Japanese offensive stopped for a while, and the defenders on the earth enclosure also had a chance to breathe, counting the soldiers and ammunition, and the losses were not large, that is, there were not enough bullets, and there were only two precious mortar shells, and this battle was fought in favor of the Japanese army.

"Commander, break through, while the enemy is not completely encircled, there is a puppet army in the west, it is relatively easy to tear the opening, let's ride a mule and rush out!" Chen Qilin suggested.

Xue Bin also said: "Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, break through." ”

Chen Zikun rubbed his chin with a hard beard stubble, the opportunity was fleeting, he hesitated, he was just about to order a breakthrough, and suddenly the old Deshun family cried and cried and came to him, saying that his grandfather went out early in the morning to pick up dung and didn't come back until now, I don't know what happened.

An explosion before dawn woke everyone up, thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be the sound of a Japanese-style grenade, and yesterday I just gave Lao Deshun a grenade, Chen Zikun thought of it all here, Uncle Deshun, I'm afraid it's gone.

The children and grandchildren of the old man also knew that their grandfather might have sacrificed, their eyes were red, Xiao'e burst into tears, crying with a big belly, which made Chen Zikun even more sad, Uncle Deshun would never see his great-grandson born.

Suddenly, his heart moved, if he led the troops to break through, what would happen to the people, what should I do with the child in Xiao'e's belly, the Japanese are brutal and can do everything, Lao Deshun is no longer there, and he can't let his family sacrifice again.

"We can't throw our fellow countrymen to the little devils, Xue Bin, you ride my horse to find Gai Longquan, and ask him to read it for the sake of many years of brotherhood." Chan said.

Xue Bin gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll go!" ”

Chen Shou said: "Send someone to Xiamapo to ask for help, we have dozens of guns there, and the little ones must be not bad at training." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Okay, Chen Shou, you arrange for someone to go down the slope, and the rest of the people are on standby, pay attention to saving bullets, try to hit your body, don't hit the head, be brave, keep the shells, and use them at critical times." ”

Liu Xiaoyong learned infantry in the military academy, but he was good at artillery, and he personally operated the cannonballs just now, and the shells were like eyes, blowing up the enemy's four grenadiers, which greatly reduced the pressure.

"Understood!" Liu Xiaoyong responded.

Gong Zijun accompanied his father Gong Jiaxuan in a hurry, and Master Gong hugged his fists and said, "Commander, I have something to offer." With a wave of their hands, the guards carried two wooden boxes and used a crowbar to open the long box, which contained ten rifles staggered with oil seals on the barrels and bolts, and the other box was full of bullets.

Chen Zikun picked up a rifle and looked at it, the body of the gun was slender, and the butt was made of two pieces of wood.

"Is this the Golden Hook Rifle?" Chen Zikun said suspiciously.

"Nope." Gong Jiaxuan explained, "This is the 29th year of Guangxu rifle, in the early years the provincial patrol battalion was equipped with more than 100 pieces, the old lady spent a lot of money to buy it from the camp, used to watch the family care home, and then the bandits disappeared, the gun was inserted, and now it can finally come in handy again." ”

Chen Zikun smiled, the rifles in the Guangxu period, after more than 30 years, went out of the mountains to fight devils again, it really makes sense, but these guns are shoddy, they are old, and they are not of much use, and the box full of 65 caliber bullets is a charcoal in the snow, which solves the urgent need.

Gong Jiaxuan said: "The soil fence can't be guarded, so go up to our house, the old house of the Gong family, the high wall of the terrazzo blue brick base, the bottom is all made of stone, the cannonballs can't be exploded, there are wells in the yard, there are grains in the warehouse, there are chickens and ducks in the shed, and it is no problem to guard for ten days and half a month." ”

Of course, having said that, if you really retreat to the Gong family's compound, then the people in the village will be finished.

The brethren were invigorated by this.

At the time of life and death, the strong men of Gongjia Village also took the earthen cannon fire on the fence, and although the addition of the new force could not help much, it could improve morale.

In Gongjia Village, a bloody battle is inevitable.

Two fast horses rushed out of the village, rushing towards the area defended by the puppet army, the imperial army shouted and screamed, snapped and released the guns, no shot was accurate, Xue Bin hid in the pedal and covered himself with a horse, quickly passed through the enemy position, and went away, the other person was not so lucky, he was killed by the Japanese soldiers in the distance with light machine gun side fire, and even the people and horses fell into the smoke and dust.

The devil knew that this was a guerrilla army sending someone to ask for help, and Takeshita Osa immediately ordered to relaunch the attack.

It has to be said that the quality of the Japanese infantry is quite excellent, the will is tenacious, and the marksmanship is accurate, under the strict order of Takeshita Daisa at all costs, with the fire support of heavy machine guns and grenadiers, they gradually approached the earthen enclosure, and the brigade artillery finally saw the opportunity to open fire, and the gate on the earthen enclosure was blown open with one shot.

Takeshita Daisa drew his command knife: "Gentlemen, assault!" ”

On the earthen enclosure, bullets rained down, the guerrilla soldiers were so pressed that they could not raise their heads, many inexperienced strong men were killed by the Japanese army, the casualties were gradually increasing, and the frustration was spreading.

More than 100 remnants of soldiers plus dozens of strong men in the countryside, short of food and ammunition, guarding the villages, against the army of 500 tigers and wolves, it is already good to be able to fight to this extent.

Chen Qilin proposed again: "Withdraw, it doesn't matter if we die, commander, you can't fall into the hands of the Japanese." ”

Chen Zikun glanced at Xia Xiaoqing, who was expressionless, continued to pull the bolt, shooting, and with every shot, a Japanese soldier was shot in the head.

"Give me the gun." Chen Zikun took a 38 cover from Chen Qilin's hand, stood beside Xia Xiaoqing, and the husband and wife fought side by side, two people and two guns actually suppressed dozens of Japanese soldiers on the opposite side.

Chen Qilin gritted his teeth, took a gun from the hands of the fallen soldiers, and joined the battle.

Finally, the bullets ran out, the grenades were also thrown away, Chen Zikun took out two big-eyed pickers, Xia Xiaoqing dropped the gun, felt out two flying knives and buckled them in the palm of his hand, and Chen Qilin put on the bayonet.

The remaining soldiers also wordlessly loaded their bayonets.

In the distance, Takeshita Daisa used a telescope to observe the ruined earthen enclosure, and judged that the enemy could not hold on for long, and only one charge was needed to take Gongjia Village.

Suddenly, a dense burst of gunfire rang out, and there was an enemy situation in the southwest, Takeshita Osa turned his binoculars and saw a group of cavalry galloping towards him, the first one standing on the stirrup, wielding a shell gun in his right hand, the fiery red silk fluttering in the wind, and behind him was an apricot-yellow triangular tooth flag with a big "cover" on it.
