Chapter Thirty-Nine: Defending Chen Village
The soldiers were waiting for the three slippers to give the order to open fire, but he said: "Don't fight at the entrance of the village, otherwise the devils will bombard themselves with artillery and withdraw to the village." ”
There are only a dozen people in a detachment of devils, and it is impossible to search every courtyard in the village. Using their knowledge of the terrain, they easily escaped the enemy's search and set up an ambush in the depths of the village.
The devils who entered the village broke into several courtyards in a row and did not see a person, thinking that everyone had run away, and became bolder, not realizing that death was around him.
Deputy squadron leader Fang Chaoyang whispered to the three slippers: "Captain, we are fighting this time, I am afraid that the devil's brigade will kill in." We're just one squadron, how can we stop it? It's better to follow what you said before, put the main force of the devil over and fight his follow-up troops. ”
Sanluozi thought for a moment and said, "No, you have to fight!" ”
Since this decision would put the brethren in an extremely dangerous situation, he explained, saying, "You have also seen that there are so many devils and horses, how can the follow-up troops who fight him alone be able to hold it down? At present, the villagers of Chen Village have just evacuated, and some villages may have just gotten the news, and the Tuanzao side doesn't know how to prepare. Since we're here, we're going to buy time for them. ”
Fang Chaoyang said: "Captain, then you can give an order!" As long as it's to fight devils, it's worth it for me to take this life! ”
Sanzizi nodded, and with his order, there were a few gunshots, and thirteen devils fell in a pool of blood one after another, and the soldiers picked up their weapons and quickly evacuated here.
The devils outside heard the gunshots, but they didn't know what was going on. After waiting for a while, the search team did not come out before I realized that something had happened to Lu Dao. The artillery began another round of bombardment, and then the infantry began to advance towards the village. There was a squadron of devils who entered the village this time, nearly two hundred people.
The devils searched the village courtyard by house, and they had to give up a large area of the village. Because of the large number of devils, they lost room for maneuver and could only retreat. But it is not a way to retreat, and the guerrillas will be squeezed out of the village by the devils. The village is surrounded by open fields, and there is no shelter at all. If these dozens of people stay outside the village, the goal is too obvious. At that time, if there is a devil machine gun and a grenadier canister, the losses will be large, and it will not be able to cover the transfer of the people.
Squadron Leader Liu Changshun knew that the time had come to fight hard, and said: "Captain, wait a minute, I will lead a team to drag the devil, and you can take the rest of the brothers to withdraw!" ”
Sanluozi reprimanded: "Nonsense, you let me leave my brothers here and run away by myself? ”
Liu Changshun said: "Tuanzuo once told us that we must save ourselves and destroy the enemy. If we fight all the brothers here, who will lead the villagers to fight devils in the future? Captain, before the devils have closed the village, you can quickly withdraw with your brothers! ”
Sanyuzi said, "Needless to say! How long can your squad last? We have to drag the little devils for a while longer, and buy time for the transfer of the villagers and the transfer of troops. ”
No matter what Liu Changshun said, Sanyuzi just shook his head. He said: "I have already lost a squadron leader, and if I lose another one, I will have no face to see the regiment." ”
The devils had already found the dead search team, which made them realize that there was a large enemy in the village, and the search became more careful. At this time, the manufacture of landmines is still being explored, and the devil can rest assured that he can boldly turn over the cabinet. If this continues, they will soon find out the courtyards where the first squadron is hiding.
The courtyard walls of several courtyards here have been broken through, and the three slippers decided to use the complex terrain here to fight the little devils with real knives.
As soon as a detachment of devils broke into a courtyard, several grenades suddenly fell among them, and half of them were reimbursed on the spot. Immediately afterwards, the straw next to the courtyard wall fell down, revealing a large gap. More than a dozen guerrilla fighters rushed out and fired at the end of their guns, and the remaining devils were caught off guard and killed on the spot. The fighters quickly picked up their weapons and withdrew through the gap in the courtyard wall.
When the devil heard the grenade explosion and gunfire, he hurriedly sent a team to reinforce him, who wanted to rush to see only the corpses in one place. The extremely corrupt devil chased after him along the gap in the courtyard wall, but he encountered a simple trick and thunder, and broke a few more.
Seeing that this plan was feasible, the three slippers concocted the same method, and ran to another courtyard with the brothers to shoot at the devil for a while. The devil was not familiar with the terrain in the village, and was beaten dizzy for a while. Enemies seem to be everywhere, bullets can fly at any moment, but when you finally rush over and see, there is nothing but the corpses of your accomplices.
However, after all, the devil is well-trained, and his strength is several times that of the first squadron. They quickly set up temporary strongholds on the backyards of several yards, and then used the cover of the strongholds to build barricades and cordon off several main streets. As a result, they are trapped in the middle of several main streets, and the space they can move around becomes extremely small.
Sanyuzi is also aware of this, but he is powerless to change this situation. The devil thought that the overall situation was decided, so he began to attack. However, due to the limitations of the terrain, the scale of the attack could not be very large. Attacks can only be carried out on a house-by-house basis, house-by-house, house-by-house in detachments. They first bombarded with grenadiers, and then several devils smashed open a courtyard gate with their pickpockets, and the rest of the devils rushed in, howling and rushing into the courtyard.
The courtyard was empty, and the devil was a little unwilling, so he searched around with a bayonet before leaving. As soon as they were discharged from the hospital, several grenades suddenly fell behind them, killing several people instantly. The devil, who was lucky enough not to die, was furious and rushed into the courtyard again, but could not find anything.
After the devil left, a few people crawled out of the stove pit. One of them laughed and said, "This authenticity is really fucking good!" ”
The other also rejoiced: "Yes! If you continue like this, it will not be a problem to drag it out until dark. ”
It turned out that the partisans were still overly optimistic. After suffering several losses in a row, the devils finally resorted to their killer trick - arson.
With this arson, the guerrillas had no place to hide. Although people can be hidden in the tunnel, the tunnel is only beginning to take shape, and the exits are all inside the house. If the house burns down, everyone will be buried alive inside.
The devil kept throwing grenades into several courtyards. Their intentions are very sinister, if they stay in the house, they will be burned to death, and if they stay in the yard, they will wait to be bombed. Although they did not know where the guerrillas were, as long as they kept bombing, one of them would always come across. Seeing the brothers being injured one after another, Sanzi's eyes were so anxious that his eyes were on fire. Then his eyes lit up, and an idea suddenly came to him.
With a loud bang, a courtyard wall facing the street suddenly fell, stirring up the dust of Lao Gao, and the figure of the person could not be seen clearly for three feet on the opposite side. Although the devils blocked the streets, the main forces were still blocking the courtyard gate, after all, the speed of climbing the courtyard wall was too slow, and it was completely possible to mobilize troops to surround it. And in this era, the courtyard walls in the north are relatively high, it is not difficult to jump down, but it is not easy to go back, if you are blocked by the devil at both ends, there is no way to run if you want to.
The devils fought a lot of field battles along the way, but they really had no experience in street fighting, and they didn't expect the guerrillas to blow up the courtyard wall and jump out. The three were calculating or unintentional, and they opened fire on both sides when they jumped out, killing several devils on the spot, and confiscating a light machine gun that was close to each other. When the devils reacted, the guerrillas blew open another courtyard wall and entered one of the devils' temporary strongholds.
The devils in this stronghold were all focused on the front and rear courtyard gates, and they did not expect the guerrillas to suddenly rush in. Without waiting for the devil to react, the three slippers took the lead and operated the two box cannons. Several machine gunners raised their machine guns and fired violently, and the bullets were fired everywhere as if they didn't want money. Sanyuzi wanted to say a word about saving bullets, but when he thought that this might be the last battle of the brothers, his heart ached, so he didn't speak.
After pulling out this nail, the guerrillas took advantage of the situation to seize a few more yards, and the living space suddenly became much larger. At this time, Liu Changshun secretly said to Sanluozi: "Captain, the explosives are gone!" ”
Sanluozi thought for a while, called several officers of the first squadron, and said, "The current situation is dangerous, and it is no longer possible for the brothers to huddle together. Do you have any faith that a few of us will take some brothers to fight in the village and try to hold out until dark? ”
Everyone said, "Captain, you can give orders!" Whatever you say, we can fight! ”
"That's right! Captain, you give the order! ”
According to the terrain of the village, the three slippers simply assigned the task, and gave the contact code, and then quickly divided the troops to raid and disperse the brothers throughout the village.
When the devils tried to contain the guerrillas again, they found that guns were being fired everywhere in the village, and it was impossible to determine where the main force of the guerrillas was.
Commander Yamamoto waited at the entrance of the village for a long time, and when he saw that a squadron had gone up and had not finished it for so long, he said angrily: "Incompetent Noda! Shame on the military! ”
The devil's staff officer hurriedly said: "Your Excellency Zhongzuo, there shouldn't be many troops here, our large army can't be dragged here, Ping'an County is still waiting for us to occupy!" ”
Yamamoto nodded in satisfaction and said, "Yo Xi! Nakamura-kun, you send someone to tell Noda that the Shina army here will be handed over to him, and let him solve it as soon as possible and chase after the main army. Let's move forward and aim for a safe county! ”
Staff Officer Nakamura hurriedly stood up and said loudly: "Haiyi! ”
Yamamoto was anxious to capture the county seat, and led a large army to continue advancing westward along the official road, leaving only one Noda squadron in Chencun. This greatly reduced the pressure on the three slippers, thus fighting for a glimmer of life.
As soon as the large army of devils left, the night owls came around. However, only six of the twelve brothers who had left here were now left. Later, someone asked the night owl, is it worth it for you to sacrifice six soldiers and save the three slippers and five of them?
As soon as the night owl heard this, he became angry, and said angrily: "Is it worth it to fight devils? Damn, how did you lose it in the northeast? ”
