The Japanese puppet army in Zhouzhuang totaled only two hundred men, although they were armed with two heavy machines and two mortars. However, with the fire and combat effectiveness of the independent regiment, it is easy to kill them with a battalion.

However, because the Japanese army was holding dozens of civilians in the garrison, Wang Ping did not have a specific solution to them.

After thinking about it, Wang Ping finally decided to send the whole regiment, hoping to think of a solution during the battle.

On a small hillside less than a kilometer away from Zhouzhuang, Wang Ping was holding a telescope and staring motionlessly at the Japanese puppet army's garrison at the east end of the village.

If it is placed in normal times, Zhouzhuang must be dark at this time, even if you stand directly at the entrance of the village, you can't see anything clearly if there is no moonlight.

But today is different, because the Japanese puppet army is stationed, several piles of raging fires are directly burned in the Japanese puppet army garrison in the east of the village, and more than a dozen military tents are neatly scattered next to the bonfire. Most of the Japanese puppet soldiers shrank in tents to rest at some point, and forty or fifty of them were unlucky enough to crouch behind the bunkers that had just been piled up during the day around the station, looking out tiredly and vigilantly.

As for the dozens of young men who were coerced by the devils, they were definitely not qualified to live in tents, and they were not even qualified to sit next to the bonfire.

Under the guard of seven or eight imperial troops, he sat in the middle of the camp, and because of the cold and exhaustion, he wanted to shrink his whole body into his clothes and sleep.

Wang Ping can see all this clearly.

"Regiment commander, the villagers are at the station, after we attack, they will definitely fall into chaos, the shells and bullets are not on the eyes, they can't distinguish between friend and foe, and they will definitely cause a lot of casualties! This battle is not easy to fight! Chief of Staff Zeng Quan frowned and analyzed.

"If it's not easy to fight, you have to fight!" Wang Ping said with great certainty.

"The cannon is not needed, the power is too great, and the possibility of accidental injury is great!"

"The reconnaissance platoon, the reconnaissance squad of the three battalions, all pulled out and showed me around the Japanese puppet army station. After the battle started, snipe the outcropping Japanese puppet army! ”

"A battalion and a company, a heavy machine gun platoon, a frontal assault, attract the Japanese puppet army, and hand it over to the sharpshooters to name them!"

Cheng Xiao's eyes lit up and replied: "Good way, there are nearly twenty sharpshooters in the reconnaissance platoon plus the reconnaissance squad, and one sharpshooter kills ten people, and the Japanese puppet army in the stronghold is not enough for them to kill!" ”

"Also, the Japanese puppet army can coerce the villagers, but they will definitely not send them to the position. After all, the villagers are not trained, and once they are rashly sent to the position, they will not only not threaten us, but will also add chaos to themselves and create opportunities for us to attack them! ”

"I agree to fight like this, although the speed is a little slower, but the casualties caused to the villagers can be reduced to a minimum!"

"Bang bang bang!" The battle began with a few sporadic gunshots! Several Japanese puppet army sentries standing at the station turned into corpses in response.

"Enemy attack, fast, if there is an enemy attack, immediately enter the position!" The gunshots that suddenly pierced the silence of the night woke up the Japanese puppet troops in the garrison like thunder.

Then I saw the Japanese puppet soldiers in the tent rushing out of their clothes, and then rushed to the position with their rifles.

The dozens of civilians gathered in the middle of the station were also awakened, and then fell into a panic and tried to flee for their lives.

"Look at these people in a row, don't let them move, whoever doesn't obey will kill him. The others follow me to reinforce the Imperial Army, if the Imperial Army is defeated and the Eighth Route Army comes in, we will all die! The company commander of the Imperial Allied Army shouted with a pistol.

The three heavy machine guns equipped with the first battalion of "Da ......" quickly moved into place and began to shoot, and the three tongues of fire spewing out from the muzzles were particularly dazzling in the night.

The bullets that fluttered towards the Japanese puppet army garrison were shrouded in the night, like a meteor shower, particularly dazzling.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese puppet army, which had such fierce firepower of the Eighth Route Army, was killed several people on the spot.

However, the Japanese puppet army, especially the devils, reacted very quickly. Immediately hiding behind cover to counterattack, two specially reinforced heavy machine guns were also set up, and three heavy machine guns equipped with the same battalion began to fire at each other.

"Comrades, rush with me, rush!"

"Rush!" In the dense machine-gun fire, the earth-shattering shouts of killing suddenly sounded outside the Japanese puppet army station.

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, the Eighth Route Army has begun to attack, counterattack, counterattack immediately!" The leader of the Japanese squad hiding behind the bunker was first startled, and then ordered.

The Japanese troops, the Imperial Army, all showed their heads from their bunkers, raised their rifles and shot outside the garrison.

More than 20 sharpshooters of the independent regiment were all scattered around the Japanese puppet army station, and they were less than a hundred meters away from the bunker positions around the station.

For ordinary fighters, shooting so far in the dark must not have much accuracy.

But none of these sharpshooters are ordinary people.

Not only has shooting talent, but also has Wang Ping's guidance, and Wang Ping also specially took out a large number of bullets for them to train.

It can be said that even if these people do not reach the level of snipers, the level of special shooters must have reached them.

"Bang bang...... After a few gunshots that didn't attract anyone's attention, the devil heavy machine gun shooters, who were frantically pulling the trigger, were the first to be doomed, and everyone was hit with at least two blood holes.

The two heavy machine guns quickly dumbled, but not for long, and the two heavy machine guns resumed firing.

However, the two new devils didn't be happy for long, and a few bullets drilled a few blood holes in their bodies.

As a result, the only two heavy machine guns that the Japanese army relied on, like a sick old man, could only shoot out intermittently.

The riflemen scattered around the heavy machine guns were not much better either, especially the Imperial Army.

When the rifleman finishes firing a bullet and subconsciously pulls the bolt of the gun, ready to shoot a second bullet. A bullet that flew out of nowhere killed him and then fell behind cover.

The devil is slightly better, and the long training and combat let them know the truth that if you shoot a bullet on the battlefield, you will immediately conceal it.

Despite the sharpshooter's marksmanship, many of the bullets fired at the devil missed because the devil reacted too quickly.

But even so, in less than five minutes of fighting, the Imperial Association army lost more than 20 people, and the devils also lost more than 10 people.

More importantly, the shouting and killing of the Eighth Route Army outside the garrison still did not have any intention of abating.

"Baga, the enemy's firepower is too fierce, and if it continues to be consumed like this, we won't be able to hold out for too long!" The captain of the Japanese squad, who was heartbroken because of the heavy casualties, shouted in a hurry. But soon he came back to his senses: "Something is wrong, according to intelligence, our opponent the Eighth Route Army is equipped with a large number of mortars, and they have not opened fire after fighting for so long, it must be that the people of China we are holding have taken effect, and the Eighth Route Army is afraid of accidentally injuring the people of China in our hands!" ”

"Let the artillery group open fire immediately, and the grenadier group will also fire. The Eighth Route Army did not dare to use artillery, so we will use artillery and grenadiers to resist their attack! ”
