Due to insufficient preparation in advance, especially the fact that the guard posts were not in place, the 1st Independent Battalion soon fell into the encirclement of the Japanese troops on both sides. Although the encirclement has not yet been completely closed, there is not much room for the independent battalion to escape. At this time, it is necessary to test the commander's decisiveness, breaking through and holding on, the difference between a single thought often determines the life and death of an army.

If you force yourself to break through, you will inevitably be attacked by the Japanese army in the process. For the troops breaking through, this was very deadly, especially when the attack came from the flank.

In the absence of reinforcements, the longer it drags on, the lower the morale of the surrounded side will be. There may be a lot of casualties in the breakout now, but whether you can break out of the siege after waiting for a while is a question.

The lesser of two evils, the three slippers quickly made a decision. He roared loudly: "Brothers, those who are not afraid of death are all rushing with Lao Tzu!" As he spoke, he rushed to the enemy line first. Several guards hurriedly stepped forward to protect him, but he pushed him away. Seeing the battalion commander taking the lead, the soldiers howled and followed.

The devils like to attack the most on weekdays, but now they would rather lie on the battlefield and defend to the death. Now the initiative in the war is completely in the hands of the Japanese army. They probably feel that they have the chance to win, so they are reluctant to fight hard. From a military point of view, this approach is undoubtedly correct, and there is no need to fight for the sake of desperateness. But the time has come for the independent battalion to have to fight hard.

Bullets rained down, grenades rained like hail, and one soldier after another fell on the way to the charge. The short distance of a few tens of meters was quickly soaked in blood. Seeing the fall of his brother, who had just fought alongside him, the fighters of the 1st Independent Battalion were enraged. Ignoring the bullets whizzing past them, and ignoring the dust and smoke from grenades, they shouted and rushed towards the enemy. Several machine gunners were in a hurry, and when they picked up the crooked handles, they swept away, and their personal safety had long been left behind. The fighters in front fell, and another fighter in the back took over and continued to fight. There were many fallen fighters, but not one flinched.

This kind of play is irrational, and it can even be said to be reckless, but if you don't play rationally on the battlefield, you will definitely win, and it happens from time to time to kill the master with random punches. This is the current situation, the Japanese army feels that victory is in sight, and there is inevitably some slackness from top to bottom, and no one is willing to make sacrifices in such a situation. The only battalion was suddenly hit hard, and the morale of the army was shaken, but the sacrifice of the comrades-in-arms re-aroused the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

The vengeful rage burned the blood of the warriors. Everyone forgot about the difference in strength between friend and foe, and death and fatigue were left behind them. There is only one thought in their hearts - revenge! As soon as the Japanese army slackened, the morale of the Japanese army was invisibly low, while the morale of the first battalion was soaring. Under the rise and fall of the other, the whole battalion was united, and after a burst of killing, the devils retreated again and again. The circle that was about to be encircled was killed by the soldiers again.

In this battle, the soldiers fought with the determination of sacrifice, and did not expect to win. Seeing that the devil retreated, he was a little at a loss, and he didn't know whether to continue to pursue the Japanese army, or to flee.

Sanyuzi danced a command knife and shouted, "Rush!" Don't stop! ”

The devil is in a state of chaos right now, and he is just taking advantage of the victory to pursue. On the contrary, if you miss this opportunity, you will still have trouble when the devils come to their senses, and you may be counterattacked by them. The soldiers woke up from a dream and rushed to the Japanese army. This time, the distance between the two armies was very close, and if the grenade was not good, it would accidentally injure the comrades, so both sides showed their bayonets.

The soldiers of the Nagano Wing captured most of Shanxi and did not encounter many Chinese troops who dared to fight hand-to-hand combat, which made them feel a little regretful for those who liked to fight bayonets. The charge of the 1st Independent Battalion was exactly what the devils wanted, and they withdrew the bullets from their guns one after another, inserted their bayonets and met them.

Seeing that the two sides were about to collide with each other, a rapid gunfire came from the nearby hill, and the devils who were gathering a group of hedgehogs to fight bayonets fell down like wheat harvesting.

Although I don't know the specific situation, but in this situation, the fool also knows that the reinforcements have arrived, and the already high morale of the soldiers has become even higher, and they pounced on the heels of the devils, completely forgetting that there are devils behind them.

Sanyuzi knew that it would be a fool to fight with the devil at this time, so he hurriedly ordered the troops to be withdrawn. As soon as they withdrew, the Japanese soldiers who were delivering water also rushed up. However, they did not coordinate well with the Japanese troops in front of them, and the grenadiers bombarded indiscriminately, which not only caused a lot of accidental injuries, but also played a good role in covering the three slippers.

On the cold-blooded and cruel battlefield, the Japanese army made such an oolong come out, which added some comedy. It is said that the Japanese army is well-trained and should not make such a low-level mistake. However, in fact, there was no convenient means of communication at the squadron level of the Japanese army, although both sides knew that there were troops on their own side on the other side of the road, but they did not know exactly where they were, how many troops they had, how to deploy them, and so on. Especially in an area with complex terrain like this, it is inevitable that you will be injured by mistake.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the two groups of devils killing each other, the 1st Independent Battalion rushed all the way under the cover of "unknown friendly forces" and finally escaped from Shengtian. It's strange to say, everyone seems to have inexhaustible strength when they were fighting to the death just now, but now they feel sleepy and tired when they are safe, and they don't want to get up when they lie on the ground one by one.

Although Sanluozi felt sorry for the brothers, this place was too close to the battlefield and was not a place to rest at all. For the sake of safety, he had to drive the soldiers up one by one, and then quickly move to the intended location.

The soldiers were a little unhappy, but when they saw the friendly soldiers who had just saved them, they were no longer embarrassed to ask for a rest, because this small army was full of female soldiers! Since ancient times, heroes have saved beautiful women, and they have never heard of female soldiers saving male soldiers, which makes everyone feel a little ashamed.

How did the women's team end up here? It turned out that the Japanese army searched for the people in all directions, and the security regiment also dispatched some troops to find opportunities to intercept and kill small Japanese troops, so as to prevent the villagers from falling into the clutches of the devil. When they ambushed the Japanese army, they not only alarmed the Japanese army, but also alarmed the female soldiers led by Chen Wanchun. It's just that the Japanese army came by straight road, and it was faster, and the women's corps could only take a detour, so it was a step late. Fortunately, it was not too late, and it arrived at the critical moment when the 1st Independent Battalion was retreating, otherwise the casualties of the 1st Independent Battalion would have been greater.

This ambush battle was a bit more than worth the loss for the 1st Independent Battalion, which did not grab a single gun, but it suffered more than 100 casualties, and nearly one-third of its combat strength was lost. Of the casualties, 37 were killed and 28 were seriously wounded. Based on the experience of previous battles, at least half of the brothers who were seriously wounded did not survive, not including those who were maimed.

Of course, fighting a war cannot be a military account, but also a political account. Even if we settle military accounts, we should not just focus on one independent battalion and one unit, but should consider the overall situation. For example, although they did not capture a single gun, they rescued more than 80 women who were captured by the Japanese army. This is of great benefit to enhancing the confidence of the people in North China in the War of Resistance and enhancing the prestige of the Anti-Japanese Security Corps.

In addition, this battle left the Izawa brigade without water for a day, and killed and wounded hundreds of Japanese soldiers, which dealt a heavy blow to the enemy's morale. The most amazing thing is that this battle also indirectly led to another small-scale ambush war.

Due to the failure of the water supply plan, Izawa had to order a squadron to search for water near the county seat. One of the squadrons was sent to the northern outskirts of the county. Wu Quanfu happened to lead the 2nd Independent Battalion to also operate in that area.

Since playing alone, Wu Quanfu has been a little idle. This time the Japanese army attacked, he felt that it was time to do a good job, so he took the main force of the Duer Battalion to set up an ambush on the border of the fourth district, hoping to annihilate the devil's sharp soldiers, so that the Duer Battalion could make a profit. But who would have thought that the devil had no intention of going north at all. After waiting for a day, he simply took his troops to the northern suburbs of the county to see if he could catch the fighters.

It's a pity that the Japanese army is gathered here, and the Fifth Division is a famous steel army, as the saying goes, the name of a person is the shadow of a tree. Although Wu Quanfu wanted to make military exploits, he had not yet reached the point of losing his mind. Waiting until the afternoon, he saw that there was no chance and was ready to retreat, after all, the fourth district still needed troops to defend it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the troops withdrew, the scouts reported that a large group of devils had come behind the buttocks, and at least there was a squadron.

Wu Quanfu was shocked and angry when he heard this. What is surprising is that they have been cautious, but they did not expect to be discovered by the devil; Angry that the devil sent a squadron to deal with him, isn't it too contemptuous of people?

In fact, this is completely his vanity, a squadron of an elite division can fight three at a time, and his little men are not opponents at all, and sending a squadron is completely to give him face. Wu Quanfu also knew this, so although he was angry, he did not order to go back and fight to the death.

There is such a group of devils hanging behind their buttocks, and it is not okay to go back to the fourth district directly, not only will they lose face, but more importantly, the devils will go deep into the hinterland of the fourth district, which is even more unfavorable to the second independent battalion. Wu Quanfu thought about it for a while, and decided to take a cold shot on the road, so that they could know that the prince of Ma had four eyes.

The 2nd Independent Battalion chose a good terrain and set up a good situation just waiting for the devil to come to the door. According to Wu Quanfu's idea, he will beat the devil hard while he is unprepared, and leave as soon as he is done, without giving the devil a chance to fight back. But after waiting for a while, the devil didn't follow. Sent someone to reconnoitre, it turned out that the devil didn't come to find them at all, and now he is wandering around the villages and villages!

In fact, this group of devils is here to find water, and they don't know that Wu Quanfu is nearby. Why do you want to wander around the village? The reason is simple, there must be water near where someone lives. This group of devils thought well, but unfortunately found a few water sources that were either polluted or blocked, and none of them could be used anyway.

Seeing that it was about to get dark, the leader of the devil squadron had no choice but to order the team to look for water sources everywhere, trying to find a place before it got dark. In his opinion, this place is so close to the county seat, the Chinese army does not dare to fight his idea at all, as long as the gun sounds, the brigade in the county town can immediately come over to reinforce.

This idea is not wrong, as his opponent, Wu Quanfu, the commander of the second independent battalion, also thinks so. In his opinion, the first should not fire the gun, and the second should lead a group of enemies out, and the number of people should not be more than a squad. In order to achieve this combat goal, Wu Quanfu ordered all the officers and men of the battalion to come up with an idea, and whoever thought of the best way to make him the chief of staff of the battalion! Everyone's hearts have been mobilized, but most of the thoughts are bad ideas. Some ideas are good in themselves, but the second battalion can't complete them. Fortunately, after the last day, they finally came up with a more feasible solution, although there was still a lot of risk, but Wu Quanfu decided to take a risk.

Half an hour later, a Japanese squad had just arrived at the entrance of a village when they found several young women. When the women saw them, they panicked and turned around and ran towards the village.

The captain of the Japanese squad was overjoyed and howled: "Hurry up, capture these women alive, don't let any of them go!" ”

The soldiers were also very happy and immediately chased after the village, and the women seemed to be frightened and could not run fast at all, and were soon overtaken by the Japanese army. The soldiers rallied around them, unaware of the danger that was approaching.

As soon as they walked through a courtyard gate, the gate suddenly collapsed, smashing several soldiers on the spot. That's not all, a large number of soldiers armed with red tassel guns suddenly poured out of the door (why are there so many red tassel guns, hehe, Battalion Commander Wu won't tell you that many of his men don't have rifles yet). The soldiers shouted and stabbed with spears in hand. The Japanese soldiers were crammed into an alley, and there was nowhere to hide.

What made the Japanese soldiers even more frightened was that the soldiers in China seemed to have come out of the ground, and the walls on both sides of the alley, in the courtyard gate, in the corridors, and in front and back of the alleys, in short, there were soldiers with knives and guns everywhere. It is true that the Japanese army is good at white-knuckle warfare, but once they fall into this narrow terrain, they are very passive. No matter how long the 38 big cover is, it can't be as long as the red tassel gun, and if it is too close, there is no big knife to use.

In just a few breaths, more than fifty devils were divided into five sections, with less than ten people in each section, and there was no way to fight back. The soldiers were so good at killing that they kept stabbing with red tassel guns, and if they were lucky, they could string two at once.

Under such a bloody slaughter, the devil squad leader finally collapsed. He grabbed a woman and tore off her headscarf, shouting, "Don't come here, I'll kill her if you come again!" ”

The warriors did not understand Japanese, and most of them looked at him with playful eyes, while the remaining devils showed shocked expressions on their faces. The team leader knew that it was not good, and hurriedly looked at the woman in his hand. This didn't matter, and the squad leader screamed in fright, because he saw that it was a "bearded face".

The bearded face stabbed into the chest of the squad leader, and said with some displeasure: "I'm not very ugly!" As for being scared like this! ”

The soldiers laughed loudly when they heard this, and they all quipped: "You really don't look ugly, it's all because this devil doesn't know anything!" ”

As soon as the squad leader died, the soldiers did not hesitate, and quickly stabbed all the remaining devils to death, and then began to evacuate after cleaning the battlefield.

Since no guns were fired during this period, the devil only found that the squad was completely wiped out when he collected his troops before dark. This operation was not large-scale, but it caused a great shock within the Japanese army. Izawa then sent a report to the wing headquarters, saying that he had fallen into a quagmire. If the situation continues to deteriorate, I am afraid that it will collapse in less than a week.

Nagano Osa was also very upset when he learned about the situation. In fact, the 11th Wing was in a very ambivalent state of mind - on the one hand, it was unwilling to withdraw its troops in such a hasty manner, and on the other hand, it was unwilling to waste time and troops in such a worthless place. In other words, they want to get out of here as quickly and decently.
