"The troops stopped marching and set up camp in the village ahead!" Glancing at the tired subordinates behind him, he ordered.

Soon, a small group of Japanese soldiers rushed towards the village with a company of Imperial Allied troops.

In less than twenty minutes, more than 100 people rushed out.

"Report sir, the village is still empty, you can be sure it's safe!" The leader of the team reported as soon as he rushed over.

The captain replied with satisfaction: "Yo Xi, that's this village." Chief of Staff, you come and arrange the camp! ”

"You should have read the telegram of His Excellency the General, after the station is arranged, we must arrange enough troops to patrol and guard at night to guard against the sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army, especially against the sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army! The cavalry squadron must have a squad of troops at all times to maintain a fighting state and attack at any time to attack the artillery units of the Eighth Route Army that may sneak up on us! ”

After dark, the Japanese soldiers began to camp in the village to rest.

However, an infantry squadron and a battalion of the Imperial Army patrolled the area around the village throughout.

In the first half of the night, the second battalion that was active around would definitely not let go of this opportunity to attack devils at night.

However, when the attacking troops were still nearly a kilometer from the village, a single gunshot broke the silence of the night.

"If there is a sneak attack from the enemy, immediately prepare for battle, machine gunners are in position!" Not far away, on the sentry post of the Japanese army, more than a dozen Japanese puppet soldiers woke up from their sleepiness at once, and they set up guns and guns, and they were waiting for battle.

"It's not good, we're exposed, we must have run into a devil's secret whistle, retreat immediately!" The heart of the leading company commander immediately rose to his throat, and he ordered in a hurry.

"Da Da Da!" As soon as the order was given, machine gun fire rang out from the Japanese outpost in front, and two soldiers who walked at the end fell on the spot!

At the same time, a dull cannon sound sounded behind him.

Although the company commander with a solemn face did not hear the explosion of the shell, an explosion suddenly sounded above his head, and immediately after, the surroundings were illuminated.

"It's a flare, retreat immediately, the little devils are too heavily guarded, they have already prepared!" The company commander was even more anxious and shouted loudly.

In the end, one of the infantrymen did not even hurt the enemy's skin, but lost a dozen or so men himself.

The battalion headquarters of the second battalion, looking at the frustrated expressions on the faces of his subordinates, Zhang Yunshan's clenched fists because of anger smashed directly on the table in front of him.

"We must retaliate, six soldiers died, and none of the Japanese puppet troops were injured, since the formation of our second battalion, we have not fought such a battle!"

After scolding, he ordered: "Fire company artillery platoon, guard platoon, first company, get ready, set off in half an hour, I will personally lead the team!" ”

Since the gun couldn't clean up the devil, Zhang Yunshan subconsciously thought of the cannon.

When the Japanese garrison was restored to tranquility, three explosions sounded like a sudden thunderbolt, which woke the Japanese garrison from its slumber.

"It's an artillery bombardment, and the Tubalu infantry can't sneak attack our station, so it can be changed to an artillery sneak attack!" The vice-captain reported as soon as he rushed into the room where the captain was resting.

The captain was not annoyed and angry because of the interruption of the dream, but replied calmly: "Then defeat them again, let Tubalu know that the artillery will not be able to sneak attack our station." ”

"Deputy Captain, order the artillery to counterattack immediately, the cavalry squad to attack immediately, and the nearest patrol unit to kill it! But we must tell our troops that the night is the world of the Eighth Route Army, and no unit can go deep alone. Their mission is to drive away the Eighth Route Army that is attacking us, not to destroy them! ”

"Finally, order the artillery to constantly fire flares to prevent the Tubalu from sneaking up on our attacking troops."

After the three mortars fired five rounds of shells, they began to move, but Zhang Yunshan did not leave, but arranged a pocket formation on the way where the devils rushed over, ready to bite another bite of fat on the devil's attack troops.

"Battalion commander, the devil is here, it's a cavalry, a squad!" Listening to the sound of horses' hooves not far away, Chen Junyu, the guard platoon commander lying beside Zhang Yunshan, reminded him expectantly and excitedly.

"Kill them and retreat!" Zhang Yunshan didn't say a word of nonsense, and ordered directly.

Just when the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer to everyone, an explosion suddenly sounded above everyone's heads, and immediately after, the battlefield shrouded in night was illuminated. The figures of more than two hundred soldiers around were all exposed at once.

After all, the pocket array was temporarily selected and arranged, and the time was short, and it was impossible for Zhang Yunshan to dig trenches.

Therefore, the troops were directly ordered to squat in the grass on both sides of the road under the cover of night.

If there were no flares, it would be difficult for the devil to spot even if he walked up to him. Because the night was so dark tonight that there were no stars at all.

But with flares it's different, and a lot of fighters are exposed. Of course, there were also devil cavalry who were rushing over a few hundred meters away.

The devils obviously saw the pocket array that Zhang Yunshan had prepared for them, and although it was still a few hundred meters away, dozens of devils still drew their horse rifles and held them up with one hand, looking ready to shoot at any time.

"We are exposed, retreat immediately, the guard platoon is covered, and the devil cavalry is blocked!" Zhang Yunshan immediately made a decision and immediately ordered.

At the critical moment, he suddenly thought of what happened to the second company a few hours ago.

Look at the situation in front of you, there are prepared devil cavalry, there are prepared flares...... Although Zhang Yunshan has not seen a lot of evidence, Zhang Yunshan can be sure that the devils must have prepared and countered their own mortar sneak attack.

"The guards are shooting in a platoon to block the devil cavalry!" When the cavalry was still more than a hundred meters away from the guard platoon, Zhang Yunshan immediately ordered.

"Da ......" three machine guns opened fire at once.

The whistling bullets knocked over several devil cavalry in one fell swoop, and they fell to the ground with a huge roar, whimpering for their lives.

At this time, the devil's performance directly fulfilled his inference.

"Battalion commander, the devils have scattered and retreated!" Seeing that the devils directly split into two and retreated on both sides of the road, Chen Junyu, the commander of the guard platoon, was both shocked and puzzled.

"Woooooooooo......oo Boom, boom, boom......, boom" As soon as he finished speaking, the scream of cannonballs across the sky was heard, and then a violent explosion sounded in his ears.

"Retreat, the devil has been prepared for a long time, and we won't be able to take advantage of it if we continue to fight. Inform the artillery platoon and immediately return to the station! Although the first round of shells did not hit the guard platoon, Zhang Yunshan couldn't help but gasp.

Because, the place covered by the devil's artillery fire happened to be the area where the first company had been ambushed just now, and if the first company retreated half a minute late, the company that did not even have a trench would have suffered at least one platoon casualties just after the round of artillery fire just now.

As soon as the order was issued, Zhang Yunshan retreated with the guard platoon, and the speed was very fast.

However, the devils shelled faster!

"Woooooo As soon as the screaming sound of the cannonball crossing the sky reached Zhang Yunshan's ears, Zhang Yunshan's face turned pale.

"Everyone lie down, the cannonballs are flying towards us~"

"Boom, boom!" Before the words were finished, a violent explosion sounded in my ears.

Although Zhang Yunshan was lying on the ground, he could still clearly feel the scorching waves of air constantly sweeping over his back.
