It turned out that before the devils attacked, after receiving the order of the headquarters to prepare for war, the whole village was mobilized, because this village is located on the periphery of the base area, it must be the primary target of the invasion of the army, so in order to ensure the safety of the lives and property of the people, the headquarters decided to transfer several villages outside the city as a whole, and some could not be transferred, hidden in the tunnels, and the remaining grain and livestock were all transferred to the Zhangjiazhuang area with the help of the cadres and soldiers.

All the people were transferred, and the whole village became a battlefield. Before the devils invaded, the soldiers still seized the time to dig tunnels, fill in wells, and do a good job of clearing the wilderness. In order to be able to better fight the devils, the headquarters left a company of troops in the village, asking them to use the existing tunnel network in the village to seize the opportunity to fight the arrogant devils, and then retreat calmly after giving the devils a certain number of casualties.

At this time, one of the company commanders who led the team was Wang Da, the commander of the first company of the new regiment, who was a cadre who had been purged and rebelled by Liu Hua on the edge of the Xiangjiang River. He had a wealth of combat experience, especially in guerrilla warfare, so after listening to the scout's report, his mind immediately became active.

The strength of a small team, if it is in the field or in the city street fighting, if the strength of one of his own companies is against him, it is a very victory, even if it wins in the end, it is a miserable victory. However, now that he has the help of the authentic person, he is fully capable of eliminating the devils of this squad in the shortest possible time.

If you use the tunnel, you can destroy this team's army without knowing it, and then you are quietly retreating. In this way, the devil squad will be killed by themselves unconsciously. Then, at night, he was coming back from the tunnel with the company, and then giving the devil a night raid Thinking of this, the corner of the company commander Wang Da's mouth showed a hint of a smile.

"Order, all platoons and squads immediately enter the combat position, prepare to completely annihilate the devils of this squad, remember, no one can be spared. Guard squad, you go to the entrance of the village through the tunnel, on the one hand, to monitor the main force of the devils outside the village, and on the other hand, to block the retreat of the devils. For the sake of our actions tonight, we must not let the devils know that there are tunnels in the village. So, let go of a living devil and I'll try to ask you. The whole company had it, and when they heard my gunshots, they could open fire and move immediately. Company Commander Wang Da immediately ordered the squad and platoon commander in front of him.

After assigning the combat mission, Wang Da took the communicator, took out the shell gun on his waist and climbed up to the roof of a house in the middle of the village. Through the binoculars, it can be seen that at this time, the strength of a squad of the Yue Army has completely entered the village. All the devil soldiers held rifles, bent over, formed a battle formation, and slowly searched and advanced towards the inside of the village, and the entire search formation did not have a trace of chaos, "Damn, the combat effectiveness of the little devils is no wonder so strong, even the search remains in formation, without a trace of chaos." Tell the fighters, don't underestimate the enemy, this gang of devils is very difficult to deal with. Wang Da commanded the correspondent behind him.

Slowly, the little devil got closer and closer, and was already less than forty meters away from Wang Da's ambush point. "Bang" Wang Da aimed at a devil with a command knife and fired. Of course, Wang Da, who finished shooting, didn't stop for long, quickly slid into the tunnel and ran towards another shooting hole.

And the devil's reaction was also very fast, and when he heard the gunshot, he immediately raised the rifle in his hand and pointed at the location of Wang Da's ambush. "Bang bang" more than a dozen bullets hit the tiles where Wang Da was hiding. However, at this time, Wang Da had already transferred. And the captain of the devil's squad was already lying on the ground without any movement.

"Da Da Da" A burst of machine gunfire swept out of the house on the devil's side. Suddenly, several unprepared devils were swept to the ground. Hearing the sound of machine guns, the remaining devils immediately lay on the ground, and all their fire was directed at the house where the bullets were fired. "Boom" Another grenade was thrown from the roof of the opposite house, setting off a rain of blood.

At this time, dozens of troops without the command of the squad leader suddenly became a pot of porridge in the face of the ubiquitous blows. In the end, they could only fight separately under the leadership of their respective military cao, and disperse to break through in all directions. Soon, there was not a single living soldier on the road in the middle of the village, and only a dozen corpses were still bleeding.

The rest of the army, under the leadership of the three military Cao, divided into three ways and rushed into the courtyard. Although this temporarily dodged the ubiquitous bullets and grenades of the Eighth Route Army. However, after all, the Eighth Route Army stayed in the tunnels and was very familiar with the terrain in the village. Soon, the soldiers slowly sneaked into the three compounds where the devils were concentrated from the tunnel in platoons and surrounded them.

At this time, the army in the three courtyards is miserable, familiar with the terrain, and adding authentic hidden surnames. Like fish in the sea, the fighters began to shoot and throw grenades at the devils. Immediately, the entire compound was enveloped in smoke from bullets, grenade explosions. Those soldiers who were lying on the ground and hiding behind the wall were all killed by the soldiers without realizing it.

Soon, there were very few Japanese troops still resisting in the middle of the three courtyards. In the face of the few devils who were hiding in the shooting corner, the soldiers were powerless when they squatted in the tunnel. So, a platoon of fighters walked out of the tunnel. Light machine gun suppression, with grenades, quickly solved the few remaining devils. In order to prevent the artillery bombardment of the Yue army from retaliating against the surname, the victorious soldiers did not stay on the surface for long, quickly cleaned up the battlefield, and moved from the tunnel to the outside of the village.

And everything that happened in the village was a mystery to the main force of the army outside the village. While the battle in the village was turning to one side, the Devil Wing Captain was walking back and forth in the headquarters. Listening to the chaotic gunfire that kept ringing in the village, the wing captain was very anxious. I wanted to shell, but the village had my own squad of troops and wanted to send reinforcements, but I didn't know the situation in the village

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, please don't worry, you have to trust the combat effectiveness of the reconnaissance squadron, even if you encounter the encirclement of the Chinese people. They also have the ability to break out of the encirclement, and now we have no idea about the situation in the village, and we can only wait for the soldiers of the reconnaissance squadron to come out and report the situation in the village before we can issue the next battle order. The chief of staff next to him looked at the anxious wing commander and hurriedly comforted.

After listening to the words of the chief of staff, the wing commander slowly calmed down his mood and began to wait quietly. Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, the gunfire in the village stopped. However, even when the wing commander kept observing the entrance of the village with a telescope, he couldn't wait for the news of the reconnaissance squadron that broke through. "Could it be that one of my elite reconnaissance teams was completely wiped out by the Zhina, impossible, absolutely impossible." The Wing Captain muttered to himself. However, whether he believed it or not, in the end, he did not wait for the soldiers of the reconnaissance squadron to leave the village.

At this time, the co-captain had to believe his own conjecture. "Baga, order the mortar squadron to shell the village immediately, and give me all the people in the village to take revenge on the soldiers who are broken, quickly." The Wing Captain shouted loudly. Because, according to his own experience in fighting with the middle [***] team on the front line, if he wants to eliminate one of his reconnaissance teams in such a short time, then the opponent must have a battalion of troops.

Since the mortar squadron was always on standby, after receiving the order of the wing commander, it was ready to open fire. More than a dozen shells continued to fall into the village at a time. Soon, fires broke out in many places. Looking at the village that had begun to burn, the wing captain was extremely excited, "Yo Xi, this time I want to let the Eighth Route Army taste the power of our fight against this imperial army." Thinking of the Eighth Route Army, which was constantly attacking him along the way, and seeing the villages that were burning more and more, the wing captain said excitedly. Completely unaware that their own artillery is meaninglessly wasting precious shells.

"Order, the first squadron of the 1st Brigade will immediately charge, eliminate the Shina people in the village, and avenge the dead Imperial warriors." The wing commander immediately gave the order to attack.

Soon, the soldiers of a squadron, under the cover of several heavy machine guns, charged the already deserted village with bayonets. Soon, the village, which had been destroyed by shells, was occupied by the Japanese army.

"Report to Your Excellency, the squadron leader who has entered the village reports that there is not a single person in the village except for the corpses of the soldiers of the reconnaissance squadron, not even a single corpse."

"Nani, Baga, how can it be, cunning Shina, I must let you be torn to pieces." After listening to the report, the wing captain scolded loudly. I looked at the sky, and it was slowly getting dark.

"Order, Wing Headquarters, the first brigade is stationed in the village, and the remaining troops are stationed on the spot and will continue to sweep tomorrow." Seeing that it was late, the wing commander gave the order to camp.

After receiving the order, the soldiers, who had been marching for a day, breathed a sigh of relief and began to camp and cook. Just as the Wing Commander walked into a private house that served as a command headquarters, and had just sat down, a new problem arose.

"Report to Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the cooks of the various squadrons have just reported that no water source has been found in a radius of several kilometers around the village, so the troops cannot cook dinner." The Chief of Staff told His Excellency the Wing Commander, who was about to rest, the report he had just received.

"Baga, there is no water source, what do the people in the village drink," the Wing Captain opened his eyes and immediately asked rhetorically.

"Captain, several wells in the village have been blocked by the Zhina people, and some of them have been put into large quantities of dead animals by the Zhina people, and they are not drinkable at all." The chief of staff hurriedly told the wing commander in front of him what he knew.

"Baga, hateful Zhina, it must be that the Eighth Route Army blocked the well, what do they want to do? Want to die of thirst for the elite imperial army? The samurai of this empire will not give in. The chief of staff immediately ordered the soldiers of a squadron to use the cars of the baggage brigade to find a source of water and solve the problem of drinking water for the troops in the shortest possible time. ”
