From the north of the village, word came that in a forest seven miles away, more than a hundred little devils were hiding there.

Coincidentally, there is basically no decent forest around it, just one forest.

Four scouts disguised as civilians were ordered to investigate, and when they saw that there was no situation, the four of them also took a fancy to this forest, so they thought about hiding in the forest, anyway, they were acting as secret sentinels.

The results speak for themselves.

However, fortunately, they sneaked in from the other side and found the little devil's sentinel in advance, otherwise, these four people would be in trouble.

And when Li Jing received this information, he immediately understood the tactics of the little devil: needless to say, it must be one side to attack and attract firepower, and the other side will secretly approach, and then take advantage of the unpreparedness to launch a surprise attack.

However, don't really say it, the little devil's tactical connotation is really high: Majiapo Village is so big, there is flat land on the left and right, there is no danger to defend, and there are mountains and rivers up and down, so the little devil arranges tactics according to such terrain, so that even if people know, they have to face the battle, which is probably Yangmou.

However, what is puzzling is that it is definitely better for the little devil to attack from the left or right side of the village than from the other side of the river, right? However, the little devil is really deployed like this, which makes people puzzled. Probably because the little devil wants to add a little inexplicability to this suddenness.

Therefore, Li Jing's first reaction was to order the defenders on the left and right sides of the village to immediately shoot more scouts out, and make sure that the side they were facing was at least ten miles away from the little devils. The purpose is naturally to climb the little devils and arrange heavy troops and surround them on all sides.

In the end, the news came back that neither side had found the little devil.

So, the big question now is, which side of the little devil is attracting firepower?

Don't think that the little devil will definitely use the commanding heights of the attack as the point of attraction of firepower, and the attack from across the river is the surprise attacker. This is true under normal circumstances, but the problem is that since the little devil dares not to sneak attack in the relatively easy places on the left and right sides of the village, he chooses the opposite side of the river, which is relatively the second difficulty of the offensive side - the first difficulty must be the commanding heights. So, what else is impossible?

Moreover, from the point of view of surprise, the little devil can also attack from the other side of the river as a firepower attraction point, and then, put a small number of troops opposite the commanding heights to attract Li Jing's attention, and at the same time, send half of the men and horses to bypass the commanding heights to attack the village...... From a military point of view, this is the most likely and best tactic.

Just because although the commanding heights are important, the problem is that after all, it is only a factor, and bypassing it can also answer the purpose indirectly...... In case the little devils find the people who are hiding, then the commanding heights will not only have no role at all, but will become chicken ribs, so that Li Jing and others have to be timid.

Therefore, Li Jing had a headache, and for a while there was no other way but to wait and see.

However, the answer was revealed after more than an hour - whether it was the little devil hiding in the forest and preparing for a sneak attack, it was the little devil on the opposite side who not only rested, but even arranged weapons such as small steel cannons, and waited for the war.

"Battalion Commander, Battalion Commander, come out and take a look!"

Li Jing was smoking a cigarette in annoyance, and when he heard the shouts of the observation post outside, he hurriedly ran out.

The first thing is to look at the little devils on the opposite side, and as a result, the little devils on the opposite hill are all hiding on the other side of the mountain, and they don't attack at all.

If you look at Yamashita Village, there doesn't seem to be any problem!

Li Jing looked at the soldier suspiciously.

Unbeknownst to him, the soldier shouted: "Battalion commander, voice, voice!"

Only then did Li Jing notice that there was a faint "buzzing" sound in his ears.

To tell the truth, Li Jing has also seen airplanes, but he has never seen airplanes flying: he had seen them once from afar at the airfield of a big city before, but he had never seen a plane flying, so he had no impression. Later, from bandits to joining the Eighth Route Army, even in the Battle of Yanzikou, the little devil did not use the plane. However, when the county seat of Sanqiao County was building fortifications in the city, Li Jing and the fifth battalion had been following Zhang Qingshan on Qinglong Mountain, but in the past few days, the little devil suddenly stopped sending planes to bomb Sanqiao County.

However, although Li Jing and the vast majority of the soldiers here had never seen an airplane, they listened to the teacher explain the simple structure of the plane and the sound it made during flight, and even learned how to avoid bombing.

Therefore, Li Jing, who had never seen an airplane, didn't know what this sound represented for a while, so he had to try his best to look in the sky for the source of the sound, and for this reason, he even raised a telescope to search.

Soon, he found the target, though he preferred not to find it.

Looking from a distance, it looks like a few small black dots, vaguely looking like a bird with slanted wings, through the telescope, Li Jing found at a glance that these are three planes, but one of them seems to be bigger...... Two of them were fighters, and the larger one was a bomber.

If someone who knows how to see such a match at this time, he will definitely pout his lips with disdain, but the problem is that this is indeed true, and it is the two fighters and one bomber that the little devil can draw out in this area at present.

If you let the little devils on the bomber say it themselves, they will definitely be very depressed and say to you: there are only a dozen or so on this bomber*.

Everything is because of the fact that many bombers and fighters of the little devils are bombing and strafing the county seat of Sanqiao County.

After all, the county seat of Sanqiao County is the focus of the little devils' care, and Majiapo Village is just a village, and in the eyes of the arrogant little devils, it is not worth shooting bombers to bomb at all. If it weren't for the squadron leader Qiao Mu Shaozuo, who carried out this mission, insisted on sending bombers to assist, I'm afraid the little devil really wouldn't have done this.

But even so, the little devil's bomber first bombed the county seat of Sanqiao County with other bombers before flying over with a small number of *. And in order to compensate for the lack of *, two more fighters were sent. However, the ammunition of these two fighters was also similar to that of the bombers, and most of the ammunition was dropped on the county seat of Sanqiao County.

After all, the county town is too motivating, and the little devils can't do it if they don't send planes, otherwise, just in the street fighting, the assault regiment will be almost done, and the little devils will be about the same, so how can they complete the final task of attacking the hinterland of the base area later?

In fact, Qiao Mu Shaozuo is a captain, but the Qiao Mu Brigade is a little unlucky: first more than 100 casualties were killed on the Chinese battlefield, and then went to Santie City to repair, as a result, before he had time to replenish the troops, he was platoon to attack Sanqiao County, and as a result, when attacking Sanqiao County, he rushed too bravely, and more than 100 were killed and wounded. Therefore, by now, there are only about 400 people in the entire arbor brigade.

But even so, they were still platooned to the rear of the county seat of Sanqiao County to carry out the task of slaughtering the village...... The thirty or so little devils who were killed by Li Jing before were also a team below the Qiao Mu Brigade.

However, no matter what, Li Jing understood that the little devil's plane was definitely not here for tourism, but definitely to deal with the fortification group at the commanding heights.

"Get out of the way of the bombing...... Escape the bombing ......"

Just when Li Jing roared hoarsely, what made him feel cold in his heart was that a soldier suddenly shouted at him: "Battalion commander, it's not good, the little devils on the other side have also begun to rush towards us." ”

Li Jing looked at the opposite hill in horror, and sure enough, the little devils began to charge this way. However, what is strange is that although the little devil did not set up a machine gun position on the opposite hill - there was no need for that, because Li Jing and the others were all hiding in the pillbox, and the machine guns were fired from the opposite hill, which was basically useless. However, the improvised artillery position set up by the little devils on the opposite hill did not open fire.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Jing understood: In the same way, the little devil's heavy artillery can't faint, but the small steel cannon cannonballs can't penetrate these pillboxes, instead of wasting the shells, it is better to wait for the planes to bomb the pillboxes before shelling them, at that time, the small steel cannons can really be considered useful.

However, the little devil infantry pounced, and the purpose was also obvious, that is, they wanted to take advantage of the little devil planes to bomb the pillbox group, and Li Jing and the others were too busy avoiding the bombing to take care of the attack of the little devil infantry, so they wanted to fish in troubled waters.

However, in fact, what was in front of Li Jing and them was exactly like this: Li Jing didn't know whether the bunker could withstand the bombardment of the little devils. In this way, it was formed to worry about the bombardment overhead, and at the same time have to shoot at the little devil infantry...... It feels like a death on the left and right: withdrawing from the bunker group can greatly reduce the casualty rate of being bombed by the little devil bombers, but in this way, it is equivalent to losing the solid support of the bunker group, so that not only the little devil artillery on the opposite side can shell this side, but also, for the little devil infantry, they can also shoot Li Jing and their fighters. But if you continue to hide in the bunker group, you can carry out powerful large-scale damage to these little devil infantry, and you can also avoid the threat of the little devil artillery. However, who can guarantee that the bombardment of the little devils will not blow up the bunker group? And once the towers of the bunker group are bombed, then the soldiers hiding inside will have to be buried alive nine times out of ten, and at that time, what area will be used to resist the joint attack of the little devil's infantry and artillery?

At this time, all the people Li Jing could see looked at Li Jing with complicated eyes, but all of them were resolute, as if they were saying: Battalion commander, give orders! No matter what choice we make, we will resolutely obey the order.

The little devil's plane is getting closer and closer, time waits for no one, Li Jing gritted his teeth and shouted: "The comrades outside quickly disperse to both sides, you don't need to shoot at the little devil's infantry, you just need to avoid the bombing of the little devil's plane as much as possible, you must hide well, you must shoot after hearing my order...... The comrades who were in the bunker continued to stay in the bunker and shoot at the little devil infantry. ”

Having said that, Li Jing himself rushed to the inside of the bunker while shouting...... Everyone knew that the danger of hiding in the bunker at this time was far greater than that outside, but Li Jing still got into the bunker so resolutely......
