Chapter 295: Street Battle in Gongcun (Part II)
"The cunning Eighth Route Army of the Eight Grid Tooth Road. Yours, with your first combat team, you must dig the entrance to the tunnel, go quickly, the rest of the people will be on guard, and surround the safety of the soldiers of the first combat group, I must destroy these Eighth Route Army that has caused us a lot of casualties today. Captain Hirata couldn't help but get angry, and pointed to a military cao beside him and ordered.
"Hi Your Excellency Squad Leader" Soon, this military cao came to the side of the blown up tunnel mouth with seven or eight little devils, carrying rifles and shovels, and began to dig. And the remaining thirty or so little devils, under the command of the team leader, formed two loose encirclements with the tunnel mouth as the center. Light machine guns and grenadier canisters were mounted on several commanding heights within the encirclement.
"Yo Xi, I hope everyone will work together. As long as we can find the entrance to the tunnel of the Eighth Route Army and enter the tunnel, the Eighth Route Army will not have any advantages at all. When the time comes, the great achievement of eliminating the Eighth Route Army is the king's, dig quickly, you must dig through the entrance of the tunnel, and quickly "see the deeper and deeper tunnel entrances, thinking that in the tunnels later, one by one the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army fell under the guns of their own teams, and the captain of the Hirata squad was excited, and he was encouraged by the soldiers around him.
"Hi Squad Leader" Hearing the benefits promised by the squad leader, the remaining dozens of soldiers of the entire squad straightened up or dug the tunnel harder.
Before the soldiers around could finish their words, a burst of machine-gun fire suddenly came from the direction of the courtyard gate, breaking the courtyard that had just quieted down. The three imperial soldiers who were standing guard at the gate of the courtyard were caught off guard and were knocked to the ground at once.
It turned out that just when the little devil began to dig through the tunnel entrance, Wang Qiang, who was responsible for blocking the exit of the little devil in a roundabout way, had already taken two soldiers and his deputy shooter and quietly came to the gate of the courtyard from the tunnel. At the same time, a light machine gun in his hand was also erected by Wang Qiang on a broken wall next to the tunnel entrance. While the little devil sentry was caught off guard and focused all his attention on the soldiers digging the tunnel, he quickly pulled the trigger of the machine gun.
"Baga enemy attack, lie down, machine gun cover, machine gun cover" Hearing the gunshot, the squad leader, Second Lieutenant Hirata, subconsciously lay on the ground and shouted to the soldiers around him. In an instant, the dozen or so soldiers who were still on guard just now all lay on the ground, and at the same time, one after another, their rifles were aimed in the direction where the gunshots had just been heard.
"Machine guns, grenadier cover, you, take your team to eliminate the Eighth Route Army that launched a sneak attack at the gate of the courtyard. The first group, continue to dig the tunnel quickly, don't stop, this is the voice of the Eighth Route Army" Seeing that the machine gun that had just sneaked up on the attack stopped after less than ten rounds, Second Lieutenant Hirata immediately ordered.
Immediately, the team's two light machine guns opened fire on the broken wall that had just fired bullets, and the dense rain of bullets immediately sent the dust of the broken wall flying. Seven or eight little devils, armed with rifles with bayonets on them, under the command of a military officer, launched a charge against the broken wall. At the same time, a grenadier that had already been aimed at the target also began, firing a grenade at the broken wall.
"It's not good, deputy squad leader, hidden bomb" Just when Wang Qiang was holding the machine gun and preparing to shuttle again at the seven or eight little devils rushing towards him, an exclamation sounded behind him. At the same time, a weight pressed against his back, knocking himself to the ground. A loud explosion rang out not far behind him, and a warm liquid flowed down his neck.
After the explosion of "Ahhhhh I saw that his assistant shooter Goudan was lying on his back with his head tilted, completely lifeless.
"Deputy squad leader, the little devils have rushed up, retreat quickly, otherwise, we will be surrounded by the little devils" The two riflemen who served as cover, after defeating the two charging little devils. looked at the 5 little devils who were already close at hand, and hurriedly said. At the same time, he pulled Wang Qiang and resisted the light machine gun and drilled into the tunnel.
"Kill," the five little devils howled and rushed to the broken wall, throwing a few grenades. Under the cover of gunpowder smoke from the explosion of the grenade, rushed behind the broken wall. I saw the corpse of a bloody Eighth Route Army soldier appear in front of them, and nothing else was seen, not even the weapons of the dead Eighth Route Army soldiers. Needless to say, his weapon must have been taken away by his companions.
"The cunning Eighth Route Army of Baga Baggayalu. Retreat, report the situation to His Excellency the Captain "Seeing that he had paid the price of two soldiers for his hard work, only one soldier had been killed in the Eighth Route Army. The little devil Jun Cao, who led the team, couldn't help but curse, and walked towards the courtyard with the five imperial soldiers behind him.
"Report to Your Excellency, Captain, we killed two Imperial Army soldiers, eliminated one Eighth Route Army, and the other Eighth Route Army soldiers fled into the tunnel, we did not find the tunnel entrance, and we could not pursue." Jun Cao, who led the team, lowered his head and said.
"Eight Grid Tooth Road, the cunning Eighth Route Army. Now it is ordered that all soldiers must enter the highest alert state, and in the event of a sneak attack by the Eighth Route Army, they must return fire with dense fire composed of grenadiers and light machine guns. Then send troops to attack, and the first group continued to dig tunnels and speed up. Listening to the report of Jun Cao in front of him, the squad leader lowered his head and thought for a while and ordered.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain" The surrounding soldiers took the order one after another, and began to carefully search the surrounding every move. Even the slightest movement will attract a dozen or even dozens of bullets from the little devils.
However, Yue Jun's every move had already fallen into the eyes of the squad leader who had already made a detour to the other side of the broken wall. At this time, the squad leader was leading the only seven remaining soldiers behind him to stare closely at the busy little devils in the courtyard through the shooting hole in another sandwich wall.
"Comrades, everyone has seen the reaction speed of the little devil just now. It's not very safe to stay in the tunnels, and now I order everyone to fight on their own, looking for an opportunity to shoot, and shoot a different place. In short, you can't let these little devils dig tunnels well, have you heard it? The squad leader thought of the two comrades-in-arms who had just died, and reminded the seven soldiers behind him.
"Yes, squad leader, don't worry, we will definitely avenge the sacrificed comrades" The seven soldiers nodded in agreement.
"Okay, from now on, each of them is not fighting, find their target and shoot bang bang" Another messy platoon of guns rang out, and a few bullets accurately hit the chests or heads of the three little devils. After firing a single bullet from the rifle, not a single soldier stayed for even a second, and they all got into the tunnel and began to run towards their chosen combat positions.
"Boom, boom, boom" A few grenades fell around the broken wall, and the sandwich wall, which was not particularly strong, was instantly blown into ruins. A few little devils, under the cover of two light machine guns, screamed and rushed to the place where the bullets had just been fired. However, there was a pile of rubble in front of me, and there was nothing.
However, just when these little devils let their guard down and prepared to return. A crisp gunshot rang out again in another place, and a little devil clutched his chest and fell on top of the rubble.
"Baga. Enemy attack bang "The remaining little devils lay on the ground together almost as the soldiers shot out. At the same time, at his fastest speed, at the place where the bullet had just been fired, there was a row of guns. When the smoke cleared and there was no movement on the other side, a few little devils cautiously got up from the ground and slowly detoured to the place where the gunshots had just been heard.
"Bang" Just when a few devils just stood up, another gunshot rang out behind the little devils. Another little devil soldier was shot in the back and fell unwillingly in a pool of blood.
The "Baga Enemy Attack" was another burst of gunfire that hit the rubble that had just been fired. But by this time, the soldier who had just fired had already retracted his head, and under the cover of the ruins, he had once again burrowed into the tunnel. In this way, after several consecutive gunshots, only 2 of the 6 little devils who came to attack were left. The two soldiers had completely lost the sharpness they had just attacked, and were lying on the ground with fear on their faces, firing their guns at any suspicious places around them in a panic. And the soldiers of the Reading Force Regiment of a squad paid the price of a soldier who died because he couldn't dodge and a soldier who was wounded.
"Report to the squad leader, just now we have taken the offensive of 6 Imperial soldiers, lost 4. According to the report, only one soldier of the Eighth Route Army was killed, and "when he saw the six people in his group when he set out, only two of them ran back to their positions in fear." Junjun Cao's face was full of incredulity, and he hurriedly reported the news to his boss.
"How could Nani have such a strong combat effectiveness when the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army reported the battle" Listening to the report of Jun Cao in front of him, Captain Hirata was also full of incredulity.
"Hi, Your Excellency Captain, according to the soldier's report, these sneak attacks of the Eighth Route Army are all firing a shot to change places. Moreover, these sneak attacks are connected to the tunnels in the village, and by the time our imperial soldiers reacted, the Eighth Route Army that fired bullets had already retreated into the tunnels, so our Imperial Army would lose four excellent soldiers, and the Eighth Route Army would only lose one. Jun Cao reported.
"Baga, tunnel, tunnel order, each combat group, after being attacked by the Eighth Route Army, prohibits any troops from attacking. We are only allowed to use our light machine guns and grenadiers to return fire, and immediately count the remaining strength of the entire squad, and quickly "After listening to Juncao's report, Second Lieutenant Hirata, the squad leader who had always been confident of victory, suddenly became worried about whether his squad would be able to complete the mission.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain," Jun Cao took the order. Soon, this order from the squad leader was passed to the ears of every little devil. With the change of the defensive formation of the army, it is almost impossible for the soldiers to find a fighter like the one just now.
Although, in the next few minutes. The soldiers shot and killed the grenadiers of the two little devils who showed their heads again, but they were retaliated by the dense rain of bullets and grenades by the little devils, and the two fighters could not dodge and were shot and died.
"Comrades, the little devils have changed their formation now, and we must also change, and we can't fight with the little devils in the tunnel like this. You have to drill out of the tunnel, and you can't be afraid of fighting hard against the little devils. Looking at a squad with only 6 fighters left in front of him, the squad leader asked.
"I'm not afraid that I will avenge my fallen comrades. Squad leader, you just give the order, we are dead, and we will also bring a cushion on our backs" Wang Qiang, who had not yet recovered from the sacrifice of the deputy shooter just now, said with a wave of his fist.
"Yes, squad leader, you can give the order, as long as you can fight these little devils, even if all of our squad are killed, we will be worth it," another soldier chimed in.
"Okay, now there are only 7 of us left, the deputy squad leader Zhou Qiang will bring three people, a machine gun, and the remaining two will follow me, let's go out and have a good meeting with the little devil for a while." The specific combat method is that I take two soldiers to attract the little devils in front, and the deputy captain launches a surprise attack on the little devils from behind, so as to eliminate the living force of the little devils as much as possible. Now let's go," the squad leader said, taking two fighters, clutching the rifles in their hands, and drilled out of a tunnel less than 30 meters away from the little devil's position.
Under the cover of the surrounding broken walls and private houses, the three of them quickly got into a place less than 20 meters away from the little devil and hid. "Comrades, prepare grenades, I shout one, two, three, throw all the grenades on my body to me," the squad leader ordered to the two fighters beside him.
At the moment of "one, two, three throws", three grenades were thrown out of the hiding place of the three people, and just when the three grenades landed, three more grenades were thrown out by the three people.
"Boom, boom, boom" more than a dozen grenades, almost instantly, exploded one after another in the group of imps, setting off patches of blood rain. And the three of them, having thrown the grenade, did not retreat in a hurry. Instead, under the cover of the smoke of the grenade explosion, he lay on the broken wall and began to shoot at the position of the little devils.
"Your Excellency Captain Baga. The Eighth Route Army is so rampant that I request to take my battle team and attack immediately to destroy these Eighth Route Army. Otherwise, we can only passively beat the soldiers of the imperial army of our own empire" and saw that our own soldiers lost seven or eight soldiers again in a series of explosions and a few gunshots. A military cao couldn't hold back any longer, and pleaded to the squad leader lying on the ground next to him.
"Baga, how long will it take for the tunnel entrance" The squad leader didn't pay attention to the military cao who asked to fight, but asked the leader of the first battle team who was digging the tunnel.
"Hey Captain, the destruction of the tunnel is so serious, it will take at least half an hour," replied a soldier who was digging the tunnel entrance.
"Baga stopped me. If this continues, when will the tunnel be dug up, even if the tunnel is dug through, all the soldiers of our squad will have died. Now I order, everyone is ready for battle. Machine gun grenadiers took cover, and the rest of the men charged with me to eliminate these Eighth Route Army that were sneaking up on the Imperial Army. Kill to," the squad leader commanded loudly.
As soon as the squad leader's order was finished, the three light machine guns and three grenadiers in the squad erupted at the same time, and at the same time, the remaining twenty or so imperial soldiers of the entire squad were under the personal command of the squad leader. With a roar, he rushed to the position where the squad leader was.
"Prepare to retreat, fight while retreating" Looking at the more than twenty little devils who rushed towards him, the squad leader gasped and ordered to the two soldiers beside him. However, just as he turned around, one of the fighters had been shot and collapsed in a pool of blood. Of course, in order to be able to successfully attract this group of little devils, create a better fighter for the deputy squad leader. There is no extra time to grieve them. Looking at the fighters who fell in a pool of blood, the squad leader gritted his teeth and quickly retreated to the rear with one of the remaining fighters.
"Kill to give" saw two Eighth Route Army, under the blow of their own dense firepower, drop a corpse, and retreat in embarrassment. Second Lieutenant Hirata, the leader of the army, was excited, ordered loudly, waved the command knife in his hand, and chased after him with twenty soldiers behind him. Unbeknownst to him, the light machine gun position behind him had changed.
It turned out that when the squad leader launched an attack, the deputy squad leader Wang Qiang had already drilled out of the tunnel from the other side with a light machine gun, and quietly hid behind the little devil, waiting for the best time to attack.
Finally, under the constant provocation of the squad leader, the little devil finally went out. Under the command of a squad leader, except for a few light machine gunners and grenadiers, the remaining twenty or so devils raised their rifles one after another and rushed towards the position where the squad leader was. It wasn't until more than twenty little devils rushed out of the already dilapidated courtyard that the corners of Wang Qiang's mouth showed a smile.
"Later, the three of you will fire at the first machine-gun position aimed at the little devil, and the remaining two machine-gun positions will be handed over to me. Shoot me at my order," Wang Qiang ordered to the three soldiers beside him. At the same time, standing up straight, facing the two machine-gun positions arranged together, he began to pull the trigger in his hand.
