……

"Report to the head of the regiment, news came from the direction of the West Village, the devil really transferred artillery, and the main force of the West Village has retreated to the second line of positions."

Kong Jie nodded, "Continue to investigate and pass on the latest battle situation at any time." ”

"Yes!"

After the communication soldier turned to leave, Shen Wenyue said worriedly: "Commander Kong, the Japanese army has occupied the defensive position at the head of the village, entered the West Village, and after fighting the West Village, it will soon be able to approach Niukou Village, is the situation a little critical?" ”

Kong Jie said with a smile: "So let Reporter Shen evacuate in advance, if Reporter Shen is afraid, I can arrange for someone to escort you away now." ”

"But I don't see any worry on Captain Kong's face."

Kong Jie said: "The Japanese artillery will definitely be used, and it is only the first step to take the initiative to abandon the defensive position at the head of the village."

The depth of the West Village is not small, from the head of the village to the end of the village, even if you use two feet to walk for more than two hours.

The long-distance depth in the middle is an excellent place for us to ambush the Japanese army with the help of the defense of the village.

In other words, I put this devil in on purpose. ”

"You put it in on purpose?"

"Yes, if our army continues to engage the Japanese in the defensive position at the entrance of the village and blocks all the Japanese forces outside the village, the Japanese artillery can carry out artillery bombardment with impunity."

"But if we directly abandon the defensive position at the head of the village, the Japanese army will definitely be vigilant and worry about whether we have arranged an ambush in the village, so only when the head of the village is blocked for a while, and then disguised as being repelled by Japanese artillery, the Japanese army will enter the village."

"And once the vanguard of the devil enters the village, because the situation inside the village is unknown, and the Japanese soldiers have entered, the devil's follow-up artillery will not be easily used to prevent accidental injury.

In this way, we can use the various defensive traps built in advance in the village to deal with the little devils when the Japanese army cannot use artillery. ”

"Reporter Shen can now imagine himself as a Japanese army, and at this moment you have entered the village head area of the West Village, please look at the sand table here."

"In the village area, we have planted a large number of mines on the roads and in the houses, loose mines, hanging mines hidden behind doors, child mines, chain mines, and bullet mines that will penetrate the soles of the feet when you step on them."

"Don't underestimate the distance of less than a kilometer, the intensity of all kinds of traps and mines, not to mention devils, even if we are our own comrades, without knowing the specific mines planted, it is easy to be injured by mistake."

"Here, here, here, relying on the cover of the houses and the cover of the earthen walls, we have secretly set up many machine-gun fire points, and when the Japanese troops arrive at close range, they can suddenly open fire and sneak attack."

"In addition to these firing points, there are also our bombing teams hidden in many places, ready to carry out covert sneak attacks at any time."

"Once the devil goes deeper, we can also use the house to fight the curtain, and when the devil lifts the curtain in the house, the silent bayonet will burst out as soon as possible."

Speaking of which, Kong Jie explained: "With the help of traps and various defenses in the village to carry out surprise attacks, even the recruits of our independent regiment can easily kill and injure Japanese troops. ”

"In this situation, the devil's infantry is actually not very powerful, the devil's infantry has always been strong only because of their artillery superiority, and the defensive battle in the village is to directly eliminate the devil's artillery superiority."

"Although there are more devils than us, that is, a 5:1 military advantage, it is equivalent to five devils entering the village now to deal with a soldier of the Eighth Route Army who is particularly familiar with the environment in the village and has ambushed all kinds of traps.

Shen Wenyue nodded secretly when she heard this, thinking about it like this, this small village was like a trap step by step, if the devil entered it, wouldn't he step into hell?

……

West Village.

Under the bombardment of the artillery that arrived later, the fortifications at the head of the village were directly blown up.

When the news reached the rear headquarters of the Japanese army, Ishii Hara's face was filled with joy when he learned that the fortifications at the head of the village had been breached.

"Roar, keep attacking!"

In this way, a squadron of Japanese troops in the vanguard entered the West Village and arrived at the village head area.

The village is quiet, there is no half of a figure in sight, only the dead houses on both sides, and the houses in the west village are arranged in pairs, relying on a dirt road in the central area, the dirt road is more than four meters wide.

"Your Excellency Squadron Leader, the Eighth Route Army, which previously defended the fortifications at the head of the village, seems to have escaped." The adjutant looked at the situation on both sides and said.

The devil squadron leader thought for a while, waved his hand, and ordered: "Search and advance, and don't let go of an Eighth Route Army." ”

"Hey!"

After the order of the devil squadron leader was given, several squads of devils scattered and searched and advanced.

"Ahh

Soon, some of the Japanese soldiers who were searching for the advance of the house, hidden by the earthen walls of the house, let out a scream.

There was a devil who stepped on a bullet mine first, and the sole of his foot was directly pierced by the bullet, and at this moment he was holding the ball of his foot, lying on the ground, wailing in pain.

"Baga, go and find out, what's going on."

"Hey!"

Then there was a continuous scream, even more and more, coming from all directions, the devil communication soldier ran back in a panic, and was about to report the situation to the Japanese squadron leader, when he passed a path between the houses, he directly stepped on a mine, and in the explosion, the whole person was blown into a blur of flesh and blood, and lay straight on the ground.

This unbelievable Japanese squadron stepped into the trap area set by the independent regiment and militia fighters in the area of the village.

In just a few minutes, the Japanese army sent more than a dozen people and wounded more than 20 people.

The wounded soldier of the devil was rescued by the medical soldiers, and when he was carried in front of the leader of the squadron of the devil, he said with a palpitating face: "Your Excellency the squadron leader, these hateful Eighth Route Army have planted a lot of mines between the alleys of the house, and there are traps everywhere, and we have suffered heavy casualties. ”

The Devil Squadron Leader nodded, this peaceful village seemed to be full of traps, and he was a little afraid to move forward now.

"Concentrate your forces on the paths in the central area, arrange some sentries on both sides, and don't rush into the alleys between the houses and the houses."

This devil squadron leader thinks very well, it is not the first time that these dirt roads have used complex environments such as houses to set up mines.

Then you can lead the team directly from the path in the central area.

The poor devil's marching army changed like this, and he fell into the hands of the warriors again.

Lurking on both sides of the Japanese advance route, the machine gunners and fighters in the shadows are snickering in their hearts.

The regiment commander's guess is really good, this devil was bombed in front of him, and he definitely didn't dare to go along the house, and everyone in the area below would just have an ambush.

In this way, the leader of the devil squadron took the wounded soldiers and completely stepped into the ambush circle that the soldiers had prepared for a long time without realizing it.

...... "Hit!" ”

As soon as the sound sounded, along the houses on both sides of the central road of the village, there were fierce fire points in various hidden places, and some machine guns were even erected on the back of the roofs on both sides, where the Japanese could not see them.

Suddenly peeking out of the ridge line on the roof, he shot condescendingly.

At the same time, the bombing team also began to throw grenades, and the artillery fire was mixed with machine gun fire, and the devils who stepped into the ambush circle were dizzy.

As for the grenadier group behind the devils, they have long been targeted by the shooters of the Eighth Route Army lurking in the shadows, and they don't even know where the bullets come from, and they quickly killed the devil's artillerymen.

The sudden ambush, the Eighth Route Army showed a fierce fire, and it didn't take long for the Japanese squadron to suffer more than half of the casualties.

Seeing that something was wrong, the leader of the devil squadron roared and ordered to retreat, preparing to withdraw from the ambush range of the Eighth Route Army on both sides, and then wait for reinforcements.

And as soon as the leader of the devil's squadron made such an action, he was immediately targeted by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were ambushed on both sides, and the fighters' favorite fight, in addition to the devil's gunner and machine gunner, was the devil's commander.

It can be said that in the process of clash with the independent regiment, the officers of the devil are quite a dangerous profession.

A few bullets sneaked in, and the devil squadron leader who was commanding with a command knife in his hand was knocked down as soon as possible.

The Japanese troops, who were still outside the village, immediately noticed that the vanguard Japanese squadron had encountered a surprise attack, and immediately sent reinforcements to reinforce them.

When the follow-up reinforcements of the devils arrived, they saw the tragic scene in front of them, the wounded soldiers in one place, and these hateful Eighth Route Army seemed to be intentionally wounded, not killed.

Most of the casualties of the entire vanguard squadron have been achieved.

The devil soldiers, who were lucky enough to be safe and sound, looked at the empty houses on both sides that the Eighth Route Army had already withdrawn, with a look of horror on their faces.

"Your Excellency, these cunning Eighth Route Army have a large number of ambushes in the village, and they have also set up many mine traps, and the vanguard has suffered more than 100 casualties."

Listening to the report of the communication soldier and looking at the village that had fallen into dead silence again, Ishii Haraichi fell silent.

The ambush of these hateful dirt roads in the village is obviously a long time in the making, which is terrifying.

This reminded Ishii Haraichi of the confrontation with the Independent Regiment a few days ago when he led the wing outside Zhangjiazhuang and Xicun.

He was thinking, the inside of Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang at that time might be like this, if his team had rushed into the village at that time, would it have lost faster?

These Tubalu have set up so many ambushes in the village in advance, and even put the decisive battle outside the village, how much does this look down on him Ishii United?

Ishii Haraichi suddenly felt a deep sense of frustration, with great humiliation.

Thinking of this, Ishii Hara, who gritted his teeth with hatred, suddenly ordered: "The team moves forward carefully, the grenadiers and artillery lag behind, once they encounter an ambush by the Dirt Eighth Road, after the vanguard quickly withdraws, they will directly bombard the area where the Dirt Eighth Road is located, and blow up all the houses and earthen walls where they are hiding." ”

"Hey!"

……

On the other side of Zhangjiazhuang, the side of the mountain pass tree led by the team was also more and more frightened, and the ambush arranged by the Eighth Route Army in Zhangjiazhuang made his troops suffer a great loss.

The sweeping team is advancing slowly.

Yamaguchi finally experienced for himself the difficulty of the independent regiment in Ishiwara.

……

Separate regiments.

Regiment headquarters.

The communications corps returned and reported the latest situation to Kong Jie.

"Regiment commander, the devils are advancing very slowly now, they put their artillery in the rear, once they encounter our surprise attack, after the vanguard troops withdraw, they will use artillery to bombard the area where we are hiding as soon as possible."

"Where is the advance of the devil now?" Kong Jie asked.

"We've reached the back of the village."

Kong Jie nodded and said with a smile: "Let the fourth battalion commander pay attention to avoiding the artillery fire of the devils, and lure the devils to the middle of the village, our main minefield." ”

"Besides, does this little devil really think that their artillery has no opponent? Let the artillery platoon prepare, lock the specific coordinate point of the rear artillery of the devil, and immediately carry out fixed-point clearance. ”

"Yes!"

Boom Boom Boom –

West Village.

The two mountain guns advanced behind the devils were directly blown up in the shelling.

The precision of the cannonballs from the village came abruptly.

At this time, the situation was very unfavorable for the Japanese army, and the Eighth Route Army also had artillery in its hands, and it was obvious that the position of the Japanese artillery was locked, and the Japanese artillery did not know where the artillery of the Eighth Route Army was.

Zhangjiazhuang on the other side also encountered such a situation.

The commander of the Japanese brigade, Yamaguchi, was more and more frightened by the trees.

Only then did he realize that the independent regiment in front of him was by no means a soft persimmon, and this Eighth Route Army also had artillery at hand, and it was not weak.

The Imperial Army's strategy of bullying the Eighth Route Army's lack of artillery, as in the past, simply did not work.

With the help of various traps and fortifications set up by the village in advance, Tubalu can completely fight more with less.

How can this battle be fought?

If you want to set fire to the village, the distance between the houses in this village is relatively separated, and there is no vegetation in the village, and it is mostly wasteland.

It's spring again, and the fire isn't so easy to get started.

Yamaguchi's tree side now has the same headache as Ishii Haraichi.

You can't just pull the team out, can you?

This time it was not a separate battle between the two teams, but a sweep of the Eighth Route Army in the entire Taihang area.

In other directions, the Imperial forces are continuing to advance.

At this time, if these two troops retreated, it would be equivalent to directly opening a big hole in the Eighth Route Army from the encirclement.

What's more, General Yoshio Shinozuka is waiting for good news from their two armies!

Considering this, Ishii Haraichi and Yamaguchi Shube could only bite the bullet and order to continue to advance.

"Take the chariot squad as the vanguard and move forward!"

Ishii Haraichi arranged this in an attempt to use the chariot to reduce the casualties of the infantry.

Inside the village.

"Battalion commander, the devil has used the Iron King Eight!"

The fourth battalion commander, Lei Dasheng, was not angry but happy, and said, "What are you panicking about? This is still in the village, not the place where the devil's iron king is rampant, speaking of which, the regiment commander is really like a god, and he expected that the devil would use the tank, and our means to deal with the tank have been prepared early in the morning, waiting to lure the devil's tank into the trap. ”

"Remember, tanks are not common, but the regiment commander said, if you can not damage the devil's tank, try not to damage it, after this battle, this tank is our independent regiment!"

"Yes!" The cadres replied and laughed together......
