Chapter 30: The Devil Divides His Forces

Compared to the daytime, the devil's reaction speed at night is definitely much slower. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, most of the devils are resting.

A small number of vigilant patrol devil soldiers also lost their combat effectiveness in the rapid fire attack of the guard company, and there was no way to counterattack.

It was not until the guard company retreated two hundred meters away that the sporadic gunfire of the devil's counterattack became denser.

At this time, the cover of the night and the guard company were too far away from them, as long as they were not too unlucky, the counterattack bullets fired by the devils could not help the Eighth Route Army.

After a few minutes of bullets and no movement outside the barracks, the captain of the devil brigade decisively ordered the troops to stop shooting.

A squadron leader followed and reported: "Your Excellency, the sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army has caused us the loss of five warriors killed and 12 warriors injured!" ”

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, Earth Eight Road is too cunning, when we find them, we will definitely break them into pieces!" Faced with the disappearing guard company, the captain could only use scolding to vent the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart.

After scolding, he ordered: "Send the wounded to the wounded barracks, the troops continue to rest, recuperate their spirits, and continue to search the Tuba Road tomorrow, we must find them and destroy them!" ”

"Also, there are a few hours left to double the guard guard to prevent the earth from attacking us again!"

When they were two hours old, although the vigilance and patrol intensity of the devils had more than doubled, because Wang Ping only wanted to attack and kill the devils from a distance, he didn't need to get too close to their military camp.

After the devil camp was quiet again, Wang Ping launched another attack!

This time, the guard company touched less than two hundred meters outside the devil's barracks and opened fire.

Although the riflemen didn't have much accuracy at this distance, there were still quite a few ghost sentries and patrols that were hit, depending on the density of the bullets.

In particular, the three grenades fired from the grenadier directly smashed into the barracks and exploded, blowing up a tent and killing and injuring more than a dozen devil soldiers in the tent!

When the devil reacted, the guard company ran away without a shadow.

Finally, after dawn, the captain of the devil team had not eaten breakfast, and the deputy captain ran over.

"Your Excellency, the two sneak attacks at night plus the entry of the first squad into the village, the wounded soldiers in the camp have reached 52 people. I don't know if today's march will take them or not? ”

The good mood of the devil captain eating breakfast disappeared all of a sudden, and then scolded loudly: "Baga, are you stupid? More than 50 wounded and sick, and more than 100 people were needed to carry the wounded, adding up to the loss of combat effectiveness of an infantry squadron. How many troops do we have to waste on carrying the wounded! ”

"If you encounter the main force of the Eighth Route Army, everyone will go to carry the wounded, who else will fight!"

The deputy captain who was scolded hurriedly asked, "Then captain, do you mean to send them back?" ”

The anger on the face of the devil captain increased, and he continued to scold: "Send it back and don't want anyone? How many elites are you going to send them back, one infantry squad or two infantry squadrons! ”

If you are scolded twice in the morning, you will be very angry if you are a person, not to mention the deputy captain of the brigade who is second only to the captain.

However, the strict hierarchy in the army made him no longer angry and could only hold it in his stomach, and he had to pretend to be very teachable, and replied with a flattering face: "At least two infantry squads!" ”

The captain continued to scold mercilessly: "If you want me to say that there are two infantry squads less, and it takes two squads just to carry the wounded, don't you plan to send someone to protect them?" Don't forget, there are always Tubalu staring around us, and there are fewer troops to protect them, and these wounded will be targeted by Tubalu as soon as they set off! ”

Although he was still angry in his heart, the vice-captain had to admit that the captain was right.

With the combat effectiveness shown by Tubalu on the battlefield, there are fewer escort troops, as long as Tubalu gives the escort troops an ambush, these wounded will definitely be the fat of Tubalu's mouth.

A trace of fear appeared on the vice captain's face, and beads of sweat also emerged from the vice captain's forehead. Then he whispered to the question: "Your Excellency, Captain, what do you mean?" ”

"All the wounded are left here, and then a combat detachment is left behind, equipped with a mortar, a heavy machine gun, three crooked handles, plus enough ammunition to protect them!" The captain replied confidently.

"Find a strong enough yard in the village to protect them, with such strong defensive firepower, it won't be so easy even if Tuhachi wants to eat them!"

The deputy captain's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Such a strong defensive firepower, there is also a mortar to provide artillery support." Even if Tubalu dispatches a main battalion to attack, it will be impossible to break through in a short time! ”

"As long as the defending troops can hold on for enough time, our main force can quickly return to the aid of Zougang Village and counter-encircle the Eighth Route Army that wants to eat our wounded!"

"Yo Xi, this is a word that the people of China often say, killing two birds with one stone!" The captain was satisfied with the vice-captain's answer.

Then he began to give the order: "The firepower of the remaining troops will be arranged according to what I just said, and then a rifle group will be transferred, and a grenadier group will be left." ”

"There will be too few riflemen, and the yard that can house more than fifty wounded will certainly not be small. With only a dozen riflemen in a rifle group, it is definitely not possible to hold such a large yard. The vice-captain continued to raise his concerns.

"No!" The captain smiled and replied confidently.

"As far as I know, half of the more than fifty wounded did not have an injury to their arm. Although there was no way to march, it was no problem for them to rely on fortifications for defense. ”

"Leave all the weapons of the wounded behind, and in the event of an attack by the Eighth Route Army, there will be nearly 40 riflemen in the remaining troops who can fight."

When the devils began to prepare for today's battle, more than sixty people in the guard company were hiding in the forest to rest, and they attacked the devils twice in a row in one night, and the fierce and tense battle made everyone very tired.

As soon as everyone entered the forest where they were hiding, they began to fall asleep.

A burst of exclamation reached Wang Ping's ears at this time.

Although Wang Ping was also asleep, his vigilance was not bad at all, and he woke up as soon as the exclamation came!

"Company commander, good news, the devil has divided his troops, you are all right!" Before Zhong Yusheng, the leader of the guard squad, rushed over, his voice was both excited and incredible.

Zhang Qing followed Wang Ping to open his eyes, first frowned, and then a pair of eyes shot out two rays of fine light, staring at Zhong Yusheng who was running over in a hurry and asked, "The devil has really divided his troops!" ”

"The troops have been divided, so the wounded remain in Zougang Village, but the devils still have a lot of people left to protect them!" Zhong Yusheng replied with excitement on his face.
