Chapter 216: A Dilemma Section 3 Hold up the bold
Qing Shui believed that his mission on this trip was to continuously attack the rear organs and civilians of the Eighth Route Army, so it was not advisable to stay in one place for too long, but should take advantage of his strong mobility to move on to the next target when the Eighth Route had not yet concentrated its forces to besiege the special operations wing.
As soon as the order to prepare for the march was given, except for the Japanese troops in Xiaoguancheng who were still resting, the Japanese troops on other positions were quietly busy preparing for a long march.
At 11:30 a.m., all kinds of artillery of the Japanese army began to cover the positions of the Eighth Route Army in three marked places on time, about half of the artillery was fired at the mountain beam of the Niugou ditch, and the remaining half fired shells at Beishan and Nanmazhuang, as the cannon sounded, more than 300 devils lined up along the south bank of the West River, apparently preparing to wade across the river to attack Nanmazhuang, and the devil's engineering troops were preparing timber to repair the wooden bridge that had been blown up.
However, the wing headquarters and the large group of devil soldiers, who had already been prepared, began to quietly move towards the valley of the Yulong River along the ditch of the ditch.
At the same time when the devil's cannon sounded, the defenders on the earthen beam in the south of Xiaoguancheng Village heard the cannon sound, and turned around from the simple trench more than half a person high to look back, no one noticed that on the dry river bank near the foot of the mountain, there were more weeds and bushes than usual, the devils had been notified, and the wing headquarters began to turn south, they had been here for a morning, there was no situation, it was very idle, so how excited they were when they heard the sound of artillery, because this squadron was interspersed with not even a single common man, I didn't even fire a shot.
Just before the devils turned around and wanted to take advantage of the arrival of the brigade. Smoke a cigarette and relax when it's time to relax. All of a sudden, those weeds and bushes came alive! This earthen beam is not very high. More than forty meters high, the slope is not steep, and the soldiers of the special training camp who have removed their camouflage have been pushed up from behind with a sprint!
I really went to see Hades without firing a shot! The more than 30 Japanese soldiers in this squad basically didn't have time to turn their guns, and they were solved by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who rushed up like lightning and ghosts, standing on the edge of the trench, bayonet by bayonet, and shot by name! The deputy squad leader finally fired a shot, but unfortunately the southern pistol was really not accurate. The bullet grazed the scalp of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and flew over, and the angry hat was stabbed in the face of the devil's deputy squad leader with a bayonet by the flying soldier!
At the end of the battle in three minutes, the soldiers immediately turned around the heavy machine guns and crooked light machine guns that had been set up by the devils, and turned the muzzles of the guns, which were originally facing south, towards Xiaoguancun, which was more than 200 meters away.
The battle in the village was not so smooth, Xiaoguancheng did not have a large population, there were not many houses, there were a total of twenty yards, and they were not concentrated, and the squadron headquarters of the devils was on the western slope of the dry river beach. There are also seven or eight yards scattered on the slopes. Fan Daring thought that the devil would deploy most of his troops in the courtyard around the squadron headquarters, but he didn't expect it. The devil scattered the two squads among the scattered farmers on the slopes.
Therefore, the squadron headquarters of the devils was quickly taken, and the squadron leader was shot and killed in the house, and the remaining devils had to be served one by one, just like digging out a rat's nest. However, it's also quite interesting, after breaking through the two courtyards with grenades and machine guns, the other devils abandoned the courtyard and ran to the Tuliangzi in the south of the village one after another, probably thinking that Tuliangzi was still in their hands!
Hundreds of devil soldiers ran over in a chaotic manner on the dry river beach, and the soldiers of the special training battalion on the earthen beams who had just strengthened their positions and had machine guns in place, this time the coke was broken! Just now, the camouflage crawling forward was too close, and dozens of meters rushed up from behind the devil at once, and basically solved the devil in one round, which is not interesting!
Now, at a distance of more than 200 meters, more than 100 devils are running over in a mess, this is a rare opportunity to practice shooting moving targets! Usually reluctant to practice with bullets, holding a gun and hanging a stone for half a day, this time it's good, the devil is automatically a target!
At a distance of 100 meters, the platoon commander held the newly captured devil's Type 38 rifle, and the first shot hit a soldier who was still waving his hand in front of him, and a shot hit the devil's chest.
The wadi beach has become a slaughterhouse! The unsuspecting devils were like cutting wheat, stubble by stubble like a rain of bullets like sickles! The distance is too close, and the heavy machine gun bullets often break the devil's legs and arms at once, and if they just sweep across the waist and chest of a devil, they will directly break the person into two!
Some of the devils who were not hit by the bullets didn't care about how they still shot at themselves on the nuclear Tuliangzi, and turned their heads and wanted to run to the fork of the Yulong River, but unfortunately the eight roads that were chased out of Xiaoguancheng Village behind them also came over with machine guns and grenades, and the two such a pinching attack was just right, twelve minutes, and the battle was basically resolved, saying that it was basically because there were still many injured devils on the river beach who did not die.
Many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army still had to save the devil soldiers, and Fan Daring stopped him, not because he didn't talk about the humanitarian spirit, because he had already seen the devil soldiers from the dense brigade from the fork of the Yulong River coming! Because of the artillery bombardment and the gunfire of the feint troops, they still don't know what to do about the battle on the side of Xiaoguan Castle!
Devils suddenly so many people came to Xiaoguan City, Fan Daring didn't expect that just after the battle was resolved, so many devils flocked to him, at the beginning, Fan Daring thought it was a reinforcement of the troops, but if you take a closer look, it's not right! The devils are not lined up in battle formations, but in marching formations, lined up in four-way columns, with the baggage of the mule and the horse in the center.
The devil's march speed is also very fast, they are all trotting, and there is no room for much thought, Fan Daring understands that the scattered adobe slate houses and courtyards in the village of Xiaoguancheng cannot be used as a position, and the houses that can be blown up by a few rows of artillery by the devils collapse, why did the devils come south, Fan Daring didn't understand it yet, at this time he just wanted to drag the devil for a while!
Withdraw all the troops in the village and withdraw to the mountain next to Tuliangzi, and use the rocky ditch as a position, and at the same time Fan Daring sent a herald to go to the harrier ditch to inform the troops who stayed in Beishan and Nanmazhuang, pay close attention to the movements of the devils on the south bank, and catch up with the devils when they find that they want to run, and paste the devils!
As soon as the soldiers withdrew to the mountain beam, the vanguard of the devil's brigade under the mountain arrived at Xiaoguancheng, and they were caught off guard by seeing the dead in the village and the dead corpses and wounded soldiers all over the river beach outside the village, and the devils were also stupid! What time did this happen? When he first began to give the order to transfer, Shimizu Daisa was still talking to this squadron leader in Koseki City on the phone!
The most terrifying thing for Shimizu Daizo is that he didn't even find an enemy! The whole village was searched, but there was no one! Qing Shui Dazuo was uneasy in his heart, a mysterious Eighth Route Army came in the morning, and he let him lose his troops, and now he has just begun to turn in, and the first pass to the south is unexpectedly unexpectedly bloodied by which opponent Lu Dao was bloodied! It's incredible! Not a good sign!
The brigade stopped for a while, Shimizu Dazuo was still checking the situation in Xiaoguancheng Village, and the rear guard troops covering the artillery units at the fork of the Yulong River also drove over, and at this time, the vanguard search force in the south of the village was suddenly hit by fire from the side earthen beams!
It turned out that Fan Daring withdrew the troops who attacked the village to the mountain, leaving a reinforced platoon of Tuliangzi quietly waiting for the devil to come!
The Yulong River Valley is a wide river channel washed out by the seasonal river water, this earthen beam is equivalent to a beam extending to the river under the mountain, you really want to put a few hundred people on it, that is nonsense, it has become a crowd of people, it is best to put twenty or thirty people.
The newly captured devil's heavy machine guns and light machine gun bullets are sufficient, from the hillside of the village to the earthen beam, all of them are open river flats, unobstructed, and the fire of the heavy machine guns blocks this open land to death, not to mention the devil, even a swallow can't fly!
However, what Fan Daring didn't expect was that this Japanese army, which he also looked at as different from ordinary devils, did move very fast! After encountering the blockade from Tuliangzi, the first attack was organized in a few minutes, and under the cover of grenadiers and small cannons, more than 100 devils came in a fan formation in a straggler formation!
It's not the devil soldiers who rush stupidly with guns, one by one they are short and dodging left and right, and they seem to be dodging the shooting trajectory of heavy machine guns, this machine gun strafeting, not hitting a line, but the muzzle turning, hitting a side, then in the angle of the muzzle rotation, there is a time difference between this side and the other side, and the veterans use this time difference to avoid machine gun bullets.
And these devils simply used the corpses of their own people who were still on the river beach and the wounded soldiers who had not yet breathed their breath to make temporary cover, and the seemingly chaotic skirmish line was actually uniquely coordinated, and several people cooperated, using grenadiers and light machine guns as cover, and gradually approached Tuliangzi.
The special training camp is not vegetarian, and the attack launched by the devils after approaching Tuliangzi was counterattacked by them with grenades and bayonets, but unfortunately during the melee, the newly captured heavy machine gun was hit by the projectile fired by the devil's grenadier and broke!
Fan Daring watched the devils organize two more offensive lines from the south entrance of the village, and the newly arrived devil artillery at the north end of the village also re-erected the artillery, this road with no defense depth is meaningless, so he ordered the soldiers to withdraw up the mountain, he was determined to let the devils pass, he could gather all the troops and see where this devil was going?
