Chapter 244: The Tragedy of Xiao Li Zhuang
"Well, Your Excellency Squadron Leader, there is another important factor?" The vice-captain looked at Ono Jiro with a puzzled look again, "Well, yes, there is another very important factor. Ono Jiro replied with a smile.
"Your Excellency Squadron Leader, please," the deputy captain said modestly in front of Ono Jiro.
"Yo Xi, deputy captain, let me ask you a question, we have penetrated several kilometers into the so-called base area of the Eighth Route Army, have we encountered a Chinese. You continue to think about how many pairs of Chinese eyes are staring at us when we usually go into the base area," Squadron Leader Jiro Ono reminded.
"What does the squadron leader mean?" The vice-captain was still puzzled.
"Hehe, deputy captain, what I want to say is that it is snowing outside now, coupled with such cold, will those patrols and spies of the Eighth Route Army still go out. In this way, we can launch an attack on the Eighth Route Army without knowing it, so that the Eighth Route Army will not be able to figure out our situation," Squadron Leader Ono Jiro said excitedly.
"Yo Xi, the squadron leader is really smart, your words made me pause, thank you for the teachings of His Excellency the squadron leader." The vice-captain slapped Jiro Ono on the back.
"Yo Xi, the vice captain is also a very good emperor [***] official" Ono Jiro said modestly, but he was still proud in his heart. began to forget all about the contempt of the vice-captain around him, and the two began to discuss various topics enthusiastically.
"Your Excellency the captain of the report, you will reach Xiaolizhuang, the target of our operation this time. Your Excellency the Squadron Leader is requested to give the order for the next step of the operation. Just when the two were chatting enthusiastically, a squad leader who was the vanguard of the entire squadron came to the two of them and reported, still panting in his mouth, looking very tired.
"Yo Xi, so fast, your hard work, order the troops to rest on the spot and replenish their strength." Ono Jiro patted the shoulder of the squad leader in front of him and said.
"Hi" Seeing that his squadron leader cared so much about himself, the squad leader replied movingly.
"Yo Xi, vice captain, let's go and have a look! Study the battle plan for a while. Looking at the back of the squad leader running forward, the squadron leader turned his head to the deputy captain beside him and asked.
"Hi, Squadron Leader, please," the vice-captain replied.
Soon, the two stepped on the thick snow, came to the mountain beam, Ono Jiro did not take out the telescope at the first time, but looked in the direction of Xiao Li Zhuang, only to see that in the middle of the field that has been completely covered with snow, Xiao Li Zhuang is alone on the field, and less than a kilometer behind Xiao Li Zhuang, is the towering mountains.
"Yo Xi, this is such a great place! Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended" Squadron Leader Ono Jiro couldn't help but admire when he saw the scene in front of him, and then picked up the telescope hanging around his neck and began to carefully observe the terrain around Xiao Li Zhuang and whether there was a guard.
"Yo Xi, there is no militia to guard, deputy captain, this is really a very good opportunity!" Seeing that there was no movement in the village, Ono Jiro said excitedly.
"Hi, Your Excellency Squadron Leader, the Chinese did not arrange for someone to be on guard. Your Excellency Squadron Leader, give me a squad of troops, and give a surprise attack to the Chinese in the village, and you will definitely be able to kill them by surprise. The deputy captain also saw the fighters in it, and excitedly asked himself to take the troops as the vanguard.
"Yo Xi, deputy captain, don't worry, you forgot one thing, less than a kilometer behind Xiao Li Zhuang is a big mountain, if we let the Chinese run into the big mountain, then our imperial army will be powerless, so we must block the retreat of the Chinese." Squadron Leader Jiro Ono reminded.
"Hey, if it weren't for the reminder from His Excellency Squadron Leader, I would have overlooked this important link." Thinking of his mistake in analyzing the battle situation in front of him, the vice captain quickly apologized.
"Yo Xi, it's okay, remember to observe carefully next time, go now, call all the squad leaders, I'm going to assign combat missions." Squadron Leader Jiro Ono nodded and ordered.
"Hi"
After a while, a total of five squad leaders gathered in front of Ono Jiro under the leadership of the deputy captain. Seeing the five energetic squad leaders in front of him, Squadron Leader Jiro Ono nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, are you all rested? Now the assignment of specific combat missions begins. Jiro Ono asked.
"Hi," the squad leaders replied in unison.
"Yo Xi, deputy captain, you take the heavy machine gun team, from the right side of the village, detour behind Xiao Li Zhuang, look for favorable terrain to build machine gun positions, block the Chinese's retreat, give you half an hour to prepare, do you have the confidence to complete." Onoji looked at the leader of the heavy machine gun squad that had just been assigned to his command.
"Hey, please rest assured, Squadron Leader," the two replied as they stood up.
"Yo Xi, the first squad attacks from the front, the second squad outflanks from the left flank, the third squad outflanks from the right flank, and the fourth squad acts as a reserve for the whole squadron to respond to emergencies at any time." Ono Jiro ordered decisively.
"Hi," the remaining four squad leaders replied in unison.
"Yo Xi, it's half past eleven, twelve o'clock each squad launched an attack on time, remember, your task is to eliminate all the strong men in the village, and before the battle is resolved, kill any = Chinese who dare to resist, and immediately split up." Jiro Ono ordered.
"Hi" Immediately, the deputy captain and several squad leaders split up and began to prepare.
Ono Jiro saw that several squad leaders immediately began to order the troops to move, nodded with satisfaction, and began to continue to observe Xiao Li Zhuang not far away.
Through the binoculars, it was soon found that the three heavy machine guns of the heavy machine gun squad were quickly climbing over the mountain beam under the cover of white cloth, and slowly detoured from the right flank of the village to the rear of Xiaolizhuang, while the soldiers of the three squads, under the cover of the white cloth on their bodies, slowly approached the silent village.
Soon, half an hour had passed, and Ono Jiro had clearly seen that the soldiers of his three squads had been ambushed less than 50 meters from the village, and the heavy machine gun squads were all in place.
At this moment, the first squad ambushed in front of the village had begun to attack, the soldiers raised their bayonet rifles and slowly approached the village, and then, the second squad and the third squad began to move, and the encirclement that they had carefully reached finally began to slowly shrink. Onojiro's heart also began to slowly get excited.
At this time, not a single person in the whole village found that danger had befallen them, and the militia company in the village had a total of more than forty people. At this time, almost everyone huddles in their homes to keep warm. As the commander of the militia company, Wang Youhe did not dare to relax at all.
Wang Youhe was originally a squad leader in the Reading Brigade, but later due to a battle, he was wounded in the thigh and could no longer carry out arduous marching and fighting, so he was assigned to the militia company as a company commander to continue his military career. As a man from the field army, he knew deeply that the more he was in this situation, the more he could not relax his vigilance.
However, since the militia in the village had only received their own basic training, they could not stand it in such cold weather, let alone patrol, even if they were allowed to stay for a while. Therefore, Wang Youhe had to disband the militia company and patrol the village himself.
The whirring cold wind kept blowing in his ears, Wang Youhe couldn't help but shiver, tightened a military coat issued from above, held a captured "southern" pistol in his hand, and started today's second round of patrol. As usual, Wang Youhe first came to the only main road in the village.
The main road is 200 meters away, and on both sides of the road, dozens of households are scattered one after another. On weekdays, this street is also the most lively. Today, however, it is a different story: the road is completely covered with snow, there is hardly a pedestrian to be seen on the whole street, and when you look at the houses on both sides of the street, every house is closed, and only a few dogs can be seen curled up under the eaves, and their bodies are constantly shaking.
Wang Youxiang shook his head, and when he saw that there was no situation, he wanted to walk to another street, but at this time, he suddenly remembered the sound of a dog barking at the entrance of the village, which was only a few dozen meters away from him.
There is a situation, this is Wang Youhe's first reaction when he hears the sound of a dog barking. Because of such a cold day, most people are hiding in their own homes, where will they run out for no reason to be frozen, if someone comes, then he must not be simple. Thinking of this, Wang Youhe quickly loaded the pistol bullets in his hand, and quickly approached the entrance of the village along the houses on both sides of the street.
Before arriving at the entrance of the village, through the sound of dogs barking, Wang Youhe heard a burst of strange words, and Wang Youhe, who had fought many times with him, immediately reacted, and it was Yue himself who came outside. Thinking of himself, cold sweat began to break out on Wang Youhe's forehead, and he quickened his pace and walked towards the entrance of the village.
Wang You followed in the gap between the earthen walls, carefully poked his head out, and when he saw the scene in front of him, the whole person stayed there. Because he clearly saw that more than sixty little devils wrapped in white cloth were slowly moving towards the village with bright bayonets.
"No, you must remind the villagers to let the villagers retreat, and you can run as much as you can. This was Wang Youhe's first thought. Suddenly, he immediately took out his attention, raised the pistol in his hand, and pulled the flight at a little devil who was only more than twenty meters away from him.
A sharp gunshot broke the silence of the village. The little devil who was targeted by Wang You fell crookedly to the ground the moment the gunshots rang out. The other devils all lay on the ground at the moment the gunshot rang out, and the snow-white cloth and the heavy snow instantly merged together, so that Wang Youhe couldn't tell where it was a little devil.
At this time, Wang Youhe didn't care about aiming, because he was bent on using gunfire to inform the villagers to retreat. So, Wang Youhe raised his pistol again and fired several more shots at the snow in front of him. And these gunshots did remind the people who were hiding at home to keep warm, but at the same time, they also exposed the exact location of Wang Youhe, and suddenly several bullets were accurately fired at Wang Youhe's hiding place.
Although there was a thick earthen wall in front of Wang Youhe as a cover, the powerful penetration ability of the "38-type" rifle still easily penetrated the earthen wall in front of Wang Youhe, and Wang Youhe, who was hit by three bullets at the same time, fell to the ground unwillingly, and before the sacrifice, he did not close his eyes and looked at the village.
Seeing that no more bullets were being fired in the village, the little devils lying on the ground immediately stood up and continued to move forward. At this time, the village was full of chickens and dogs. Hearing the gunshots of Wang You and the company commander calling the police, several militia company soldiers who reacted quickly broke down the door at the first moment and rushed to the entrance of the village. But they were still late, and the little devils had already attacked the entrance of the village, and some had already crossed the earthen wall at the entrance of the village.
At this time, everyone didn't care about any concealment, and raised the rifle in their hands to shoot, trying to stop the little devil's progress. But they forgot that they had well-trained and armed little devils in front of them, and how could their few militiamen, who were not fully armed, be their opponents, and when they fired the first shot at the army, the machine gunners covering the army had already spotted them.
There was a burst of machine-gun fire, and several fighters all fell in a pool of blood.
"Ah, 0 little devils have entered the village, everyone run, little devils have entered the village" Several ordinary people living at the entrance of the village were suddenly stunned by the scene in front of them, shouted loudly, rushed out of their doors, and ran out of the mountains behind the village. However, he forgot that there was a small team of little devils right behind him.
"Yo Xi, kill, kill me to avenge the sacrificed imperial warriors" The captain of the first squad of the Yue Army, who led the team, looked at the backs of the ordinary people who kept thinking about the mountains behind the village, and a victorious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he kept ordering the soldiers around him to shoot.
As a result, there was such a situation in the whole Xiaolizhuang, in front of which were the villagers running forward, mixed with dozens of militiamen with worn-out rifles on their backs, and less than 30 meters behind them, followed by a group of little devils, who ran and shot at the same time. With the sound of a gunshot, among the ordinary people running in front, one person must have fallen in a pool of blood.
In this way, on the main road of less than 200 meters in the village, no less than 200 villagers fell. Finally, the common people, who numbered nearly 100 people, escaped the bullets that pursued them and escaped from the village. But their fate did not change, because on the dirt slope behind the village, three heavy machine guns of the Japanese army were prominently erected.
"Da Da Da" three heavy machine guns opened fire on the fleeing crowd. Three dense tongues of fire, like a scythe. The common people who entered the firing range were cut one by one. Before those ordinary people could react, there was hardly a standing civilian in the open space in front of the heavy machine gun position of the Yue Army.
However, the little devil who had slaughtered more than 300 ordinary people did not stop there, but continued to search the village for the living and finances.
"Ah, the flower girl, the flower girl" "Ah, help, help" A sister-in-law shouted and avoided the pursuit of several little devils, but in the end, it was still a wolf
"Yo Xi, there is a lot of food here, and there is wine here, Your Excellency Squadron Leader must like it"
"Bastards, you little devils, this is my food for a year, you put it down for me" An old man blocked the soldier who wanted to rob his own food, but before he could react, a bayonet had already been inserted into his chest
Finally, half an hour later, the gunfire in the village gradually became heard. The squadron leader of the army, Jiro Ono, took the fourth squad as a reserve team to the village that was already full of blood with a smile, and the deputy captain lifted his pants with satisfaction, tightened his belt, and ran to Jiro Ono with a smile.
"Report Captain. We have wiped out all the people in the village, and we have captured 15 flower girls and seized a large amount of food, and the soldiers asked me to ask His Excellency the Squadron Leader what to do with the spoils. The vice-captain asked.
"Yo Xi, very good, this sneak attack will definitely greatly deter the people here. Ordered the soldiers to burn all the captured food, and those flower girls, give them to the soldiers to taste, and kill them all when they are done, remember, they must not be brought back to the barracks, and the captain is very strict in managing these things. Ono Jiro ordered excitedly.
"Hey, Your Excellency Squadron Leader, I'll go to execute it right away, Squadron Leader, I'll pick out the best flower girl later, and send it to Ono-kun for Ono-kun to taste." The vice-captain nodded in agreement, and at the same time said with a smile and flattery.
"Yo Xi, yours are very good, I will definitely report your exploits to the captain when the time comes." Ono Jiro nodded in agreement with a smile, and at the same time, his eyes also showed a look of lust. It seems to be expecting everything that will happen in a while.
That's it. After more than half an hour, Ono-kun lifted his pants and walked out of a private house satisfied, and in the room, a girl who was not yet 18 years old, her clothes were taken off cleanly, and she was lying on the kang with her whole body, looking at the roof blankly, without a little = consciousness.
As soon as he pushed open the door, Jiro Ono saw the expectant eyes of his orderly guarding the door. Ono Jiro nodded knowingly. "Yuan Pingjun, go in, remember, I'll kill her when I'm done."
"Hi, thank you, Your Excellency Squadron Leader" The little devil called Pingyuan-kun, after listening to the squadron leader's words, rushed into the house impatiently.
From noon until dark, the entire squadron dragged its tired body out of Xiaolizhuang, which had become a ruin, and all that was left in the base area was a piece of ruins and hundreds of corpses of ordinary people.
