Section XX

The Japanese cavalry stopped advancing at a distance of about thirty paces outside the village, and after glancing out of the corner of the wall, the stone turned over and shrank into a straw pile on the side, at this distance, he was actually very sure to kill the three enemies in one fell swoop, but the enemy cavalry gradually approaching in the distance still made him dispel this idea, exposing the target too early, this time is obviously not a wise move, for those who want to completely annihilate these enemy stones, patience and composure are necessary things.

The first time he faced the cavalry, Shi felt quite uneasy in his heart, which was quite similar to the first time he saw the devil's tank, after retracting into the grass, he tried to control his breathing, trying not to make any noise, so as not to be discovered by the devil.

What made the stone strange was that after waiting for a while, there was no sound around, and the expected sound of horses' hooves did not appear, which made him a little suspicious, and secretly speculated about the devil's movements, could it be that the devil changed his mind and did not plan to enter the village? Thinking about the stone is to deny this speculation, Fang Aniu burned things unscrupulously, the pillar of smoke floating above the roof can be seen clearly from miles away, and those devils have also found out, in such a situation, how can the devil give up so easily, thinking of this, he is stunned in his heart, could it be that the devil gave up the horse and walked into the village?

At this moment, in the middle of the village, there was a sudden burst of gunfire, and several successive rifle shots rang out, which immediately plunged the whole village into flames.

This sudden change suddenly startled the stone, the cunning and prudence of the devil greatly exceeded his expectations, listening to the gunshot, it was obvious that the devil bypassed here, and chose to enter the village from the flank, which made the stone very anxious, and I don't know if Chen Pi took such a situation into account when they were ambushing, and whether the crossfire in front of them had the expected effect.

The stone poked its head out of the grass, and after checking that there was no abnormality around, it did not jump out impatiently, but listened carefully to the movements around it, until it was confirmed that there was no abnormality, and then it rolled and jumped to the corner of the wall.

Listening to the gunshots, which seemed to have no possibility of abating for a short time, Shi frowned and pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and changed direction in vain, completely giving up his plan to rush to meet Chen Pi and them, and instead went directly along the house on the edge of the village to the north of the village.

The devil's detour is also a wake-up call to the stone at this time, since the devil knows the detour, so why don't you do the same? In this way, if he can suddenly appear behind the devil, he will undoubtedly play a decisive role in changing the battle situation.

"Boom" A violent explosion sounded, the earth trembled with a huge impact, the surrounding houses shook for a while, and the shrapnel scattered in all directions opened the gap in the cold air, and the sharp sound of breaking the air with a terrifying whistling sound was amazing.

Fang Aniu held a sickle in his hand and shrank behind the door like earth, the closed wooden door made a burst of "creaking" sound in the tremor after the explosion, the continuous gunshots and occasional screams around him all deeply stimulated his nerves, and what was even worse was that the children in the inner room seemed to be dissatisfied with the noise around him and cried loudly, although then it was like being yelled at by something for a while, but he still cried a few times from time to time, which greatly reduced Fang Aniu's excitement about getting a child before, and his limbs were cold for a while.

And in a few corners and behind the trees outside the house, the two people with equal strength are fiercely exchanging fire, Chen Pi They were of course startled by the devil who suddenly came out from the side and back, but they are all veterans who have been trained in bloody battles, and their calmness and combat courage are far from being comparable to ordinary recruits. The good positions between each other formed a cross-fire blockade, making it difficult for the devils who came by surprise to advance.

In a very short time, he quickly moved to the north of the village under the cover of the house, and listened to the gunfire in the middle of the village, and then looked around cautiously, and after hesitation, he expanded the scope of the search to the outside of the village.

This wise decision caused Stone to glance at the horses on the dirt slope outside the village, and as he watched a group of empty horses pacing there at will, Stone finally figured out what was going on.

The devils are really very cautious, although they move like the wind on horseback, but if they want to enter the village, the narrow alleys and winding roads, coupled with their high position, will become a target for attack, so the horses are left outside the village.

And listening to the gunshots in the village, the stone also knew that the devil's caution had played a role, Chen Pi and they didn't seem to eat this batch of devils at once, and even from the fierce firefight, it is difficult to say which side has the upper hand now, which is indeed a big surprise for them who have the advantage of geography and first move.

I don't know what happened to Fang Aniu's family? If Chen Pi and they can't hold their position and are suppressed to one side by the devils, I'm afraid that their family will be more than lucky! Somehow, Shi thought of the only family left in the village now, although he was quite dissatisfied with Fang Aniu's tossing for most of the day, but when facing the devil, he could still remember the duty of a soldier.

In this case, the stone looked a little anxiously towards the dirt slope, and saw that the situation was no different from before, except for the war horse, there was no one else, but the stone knew that the devil must be lying in ambush on the side, and he did not believe that the devil had left the horse here, and would not send anyone to stay behind.

The current situation puts the stone in a dilemma, should he touch it while the middle of the village is still in the middle of the fierce battle, and attack from behind? Or do you want to deal with the devil's peripheral helpers and retreat lines first, and then completely eat this wave of enemies? For a while, two completely different schemes made it a little difficult to choose the stone.

However, Stone was not an indecisive man, and after judging the present situation, he resolutely got up and rushed towards the village, undoubtedly choosing the former. Because whether it is in terms of numbers or their own casualties, the place where the fire is being exchanged is the most important thing, as long as the enemy in the village is eaten, the immediate threat will be minimized, and more importantly, the devil on the hillside is so well hidden that the stone has no chance to take advantage of it, and it is really unknown what kind of effect can be achieved by acting in such a situation.

With the decision made, the stone disappeared into the edge of the village in a blink of an eye, leaving no trace, as if it had never been seen before.

In the center of the village, four Japanese soldiers under the command of a military cao were constantly attacking the front, the sound of rifles mixed with the roar of *, making the battle here seem extremely fierce, and the military cao who commanded the battle was constantly screaming, obviously dissatisfied with the situation in front of him.

It is no wonder that since the beginning of the battle, three people have fallen on their flanks one after another, and the sudden attack of the enemy has caused them to suffer a big loss at the beginning of the battle, and the death of the machine gunner has made them lose their advantage in firepower from the beginning, and they cannot raise their heads when they are suppressed by the enemy who attacks in all directions. Now that the battle has been going on for a long time, except for the death of two more people, they still have not made any progress, compared to the situation in the past month, this situation really makes this military Cao very angry.

However, the attack during this period of time is not without the slightest gain, at least they should have figured out the position and strength of the other party, basically they are just equal to each other, but the position they occupy is better, and in the case of covering each other, they have formed an extremely strong suppressive force.

Jun Cao shouted again, commanding the soldiers on the side to throw three * at the same time, and before the explosion sounded, the two who had already prepared rolled out from the corner, and at the same time, the other person ran quickly in the other direction of the house, although after the strong attack during this period of time, he changed his method, intending to bypass the front and sneak attack the opponent's flank.

"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom" A series of explosions interrupted the fierce exchange of fire between each other, and the fire that rushed into the sky also made everyone around honestly retract behind the cover, and the two Japanese soldiers who rushed out of the situation, in this amazing explosion, found an opportunity, after rushing through a wide field, they clinged to a courtyard wall, groping for the purpose of firing at the corner of the courtyard wall, but before their guns rang out, a rifle suddenly stretched out of a window diagonally opposite, Without mercy, he fired a fatal bullet that killed one of the Japanese soldiers on the spot.

Seeing this, the companions on the side were shocked, and while rolling and crawling back to the side of the courtyard wall, they shouted and reminded Jun Cao that these people were still in ambush, and the previous attack was obviously not full fire.

This made the Japanese soldier Cao's face pale, obviously for the difficulty of these soldiers, the current situation, it seems that only those who count on the detour to the flank can open the situation, thinking of this, he couldn't help but look back, but the scene in front of him made him stiff, almost fell on the spot.
