Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang are located between the mountain passes, backed by Niukou Village, and together with the two villages of Zhangjiazhuang and Xicun, they form a small triangle.

This is also the reason why Kong Jie chose to build the defense of the base area on the basis of Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang.

The three can form a local triangular defense system, plus the three villages are located in the col, surrounded by mountains on all sides, except for a road to the east, which is the most stable.

In addition, Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang are the two largest villages among the major villages around Niukou Village.

In addition to these two villages, there are also various villages such as Longwo Village and Dingjiaying.

After the Japanese army launched a sweep on the 12th, in order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices when the enemy was strong and we were weak.

In the face of the Japanese army's sweep and encirclement, Kong Jie directly ordered to lay mines and traps in the villages around Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, and then withdrew all the villagers and militia to the rear.

Only some outstanding comrades in the militia were left behind, forming guerrilla squads, relying on the mountainous areas to fight guerrilla warfare and sparrow warfare, harassing and blocking the sweep of the Japanese puppet army along the way.

It has been a week since the devils started a big sweep.

In addition to Niukou Village, Zhangjiazhuang, and Xicun, the surrounding villages of all sizes have been swept away by the Japanese army.

Wherever the devils passed, the three-light policy was implemented, burning, killing, and robbing.

Fortunately, the comrades of the enemy's engineering department sent back the news earlier, and before the Japanese army launched a sweep, the independent regiment received the news and evacuated all the militia and civilians in the surrounding villages.

All that was left for the devil was an empty village, and there were all kinds of traps laid by the soldiers in advance, such as bullet mines, wooden box pressure mines, land mines, etc., a series of ambushes, turning the uninhabited village into a hell of traps step by step.

At the beginning, the little devil who was unwary of this suffered a big loss.

A squadron of devils excitedly swept away the supplies of the village, walking from the head of the village to the end of the village, and when they came out, they could even lose nearly half of their men and horses.

The large number of wounded overwhelmed the devils who continued to march.

There are not a few soldiers who died without a fight, which made the devil officers even more furious.

In addition, the little devils were even more depressed and found that the village had long been empty, in addition to one trap at a time, these cunning Chinese people had already emptied all the materials they could take away, and all the livestock they could take away.

All that was left were bare walls and some debris that could not fill the belly.

In the end, the little devil didn't capture half of the supplies, not to mention, he also fell into the trap, and the whole team suffered a lot of casualties.

The so-called three-light policy, the devils can only implement it in the end.

The devils, who had suffered nearly half of the casualties, immediately used multiple fires to burn down the village to vent their anger.

In the back, because of the various traps in the empty village, the little devils who kept suffering casualties learned well.

After the news spread quickly, the Japanese troops no longer dared to enter the village at will, even if the village was empty.

But in the eyes of the little devil, even if the people and the eight roads can't be caught, this village should be disposed of.

It's just that most of the houses in this village are made of wood and stone, and the surrounding courtyard walls are made of mud and stones.

Every household is not next to each other, this rural area is small and large, and some farmers can even be separated from each other by tens of meters, or even hundreds of meters.

It is impossible for a single fire to burn down an entire village.

If you want to burn down the whole village, you have to go inside the village and light a fire in every house.

If you shell directly with a grenadier, the efficiency is not high, and the devils are reluctant to shell.

In the end, the little devils who were more energetic than the houses in the village even drove an armored car, and with the help of the armored cover of the armored car, they advanced all the way along the path of the village, and then threw torches at the houses on both sides and set fire to the village.

Others fired incendiary bombs into the village.

After such an operation, the devil felt revenge, pulled up the team and continued to move forward.

…………

Twenty days.

6 a.m.

With the continuous reinforcement of the Japanese army, after a night of precipitation, near the mountainous areas around Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, the reinforcements of nine Japanese brigades were gathered.

At the same time, the headquarters of these nine Japanese brigades received a message from the commander Yoshio Shinozuka.

Yoshio Shinozuka's order was quite clear and resolute:

All units worked together to advance to Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang within three hours.

Within five hours, push Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang horizontally.

Within eight hours, Niukou Village must be taken in one fell swoop and the Independent Regiment must be destroyed.

The order was given, and after some of the devil captains met, their words were full of confidence, "Where can it take eight hours, speed up, after the destruction of the independent regiment, we can still prepare lunch on the spot!" ”

Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang are backed by Niukou Village, while Niukou Village is backed by the mountains, and then to the rear of the mountainous areas, more than 10 kilometers away in the northwest direction is the defense area of Ding Wei's new regiment, and about 10 kilometers away in the southwest direction is the defense area of Li Yunlong's new 2nd regiment.

Due to the mountainous area behind Niukou Village, where the independent regiment is located, it is not conducive to the deployment of the main force, and in addition, the mountainous terrain is complicated, and the mountain road is difficult to walk.

Naturally, the Japanese puppet army would not choose to take a detour from the direction of the mountain.

In addition, this battle was first carried out around the two points of Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, and the Japanese army advanced directly from the east to the avenue, intending to capture Niukou Village from the front and destroy the independent regiment.

Around six twenty.

After deliberation, the nine Japanese captains of the devil decided to take advantage of the advantage of strength and let the Imperial Alliance Army take the lead, and each brigade was divided into several directions, and advanced forward at the same time, approaching Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang.

Outside Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, there is a large mountainous area.

Of course, the more people walk, the more roads it takes, and there are some mountain roads that the villagers have walked on for generations.

The Devil Puppet Army pressed the border, and the scouts quickly found these mountain roads that were easier to advance.

If the devil puppet army wants to reach Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, it needs to walk through these mountain roads first to reach the eastward avenue leading to the village, which is convenient for marching.

The devil officers then ordered the ranks to line up and advance from these mountain roads.

A Japanese puppet army unit advanced in this way, and on the narrow mountain road, walking in the lead was a puppet army platoon, a team of more than 20 people.

The team of more than twenty people was divided into three small teams, each team separated by a distance of twenty or thirty meters, in case they were ambushed at the same time.

Further back is a squadron of Japanese troops, with the dog-legged Emperor Allied Army as cannon fodder to explore the path, and these little devils are relaxed at the moment.

"Baga, the order of the command is to advance to the West Village within three hours, why is the speed of the Imperial Association Army so slow? Send someone at once to urge them to speed up. ”

Walking on the way, the leader of the devil squadron, who led the troops forward, gave the order with a frown.

"Hey!"

The order was conveyed to the puppet army platoon, and the puppet army platoon commander scolded in his heart, but on the surface he was respectful, so he had to speed up his life, and prayed in his heart:

Grandpa Eight Road! We are also forced to be helpless, if you want to fight, hit the little devils behind us, don't take the lives of your brothers!

The puppet army squad leader next to him leaned over and said, "Platoon leader, I always feel that this mountain road is not safe, and my heart has been sudden, or I will send a few brothers to spread out and scout all the way?" ”

slapped the puppet army squad leader on the head, and the puppet army platoon commander scolded in a low voice: "Stupid, how many heads do you kid probe?" In case Balu is really ambushed on the side of the road and your kid is scouted, even if Balu doesn't want to fight us and focuses on the devil, he can only fire at that time. ”

"If we want to live, just move forward honestly, and close one eye if we can."

"The devil uses us as cannon fodder to explore the way, and we have to use the devil as a light bulb to attract the attack of the Eighth Road!"

"Remember, once I encounter an ambush by Eight Roads, everyone will immediately lie on the ground for me, don't lift my head, people are in a good mood at Eight Roads, maybe they will let us go as a fart, if you don't shoot and injure Eight Roads again, then our whole platoon will be finished."

"Did you hear it all?"

"Yes—"

The surrounding puppet soldiers hurriedly nodded in response.

……

From the place where the puppet army appeared on the mountain road, and then pushed forward 500 meters, at this moment, the platoon commander of the first company of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army was ambushing the whole platoon of soldiers in the mountain forest on the right side of the mountain road.

"Platoon commander, the puppet army is less than five hundred meters away, and there are about twenty people. The devil hung behind the second devil, about a hundred meters away, and it seemed that there was a squadron or so of troops. ”

The Scout Warrior passed the message back.

The platoon leader nodded, and whispered to the several squad leaders beside him: "Now that the battle has just begun, this devil still dares to walk along the mountain road, and the devils gathered together at this time are the best to fight."

When they got to the back, the devil puppet army didn't dare to take the mountain road, the troops were scattered, and they began to drill into the woods, and the battle was not happy.

Why?

The little devils are not gathered together, and we can't kill a few of them with a single cannonball.

So don't let go of the opportunity to concentrate on killing the little devil right now. ”

The first squad leader asked: "Platoon commander, what about the puppet army in the front?" ”

A long line said, "Let it go." ”

"These two devils are not good birds, they are too cheap." The first squad leader has a straightforward personality, thinks that traitors are more hateful than devils, and hates these soft bones the most.

The platoon leader smiled: "What's the hurry? Our company commander said well, doing things will score a priority, and we will also score a priority when fighting devils.

Why did the little devil let the puppet army take the lead? I just want the puppet army to be cannon fodder and attract our firepower, and as soon as we fight the puppet army here, the devils will be able to react immediately.

So the focus has to be on the devil, as long as the devil is eliminated, the rest of the puppet army can be taken care of. ”

"Yes!" The first squad leader answered.

"The preparations for the ambush of the warriors are all ready, right?"

"Platoon commander rest assured, everything is ready."

"Okay, wait until the devil steps into the ambush circle, and then serve the food directly."

"Yes!"

……

The platoon commander of the puppet army continued to lead the team, and soon arrived at the ambush circle first.

After casually glancing around, the platoon commander of the puppet army, who had not slept all night, yawned and said to the squad leader beside him: "Okay, hurry up and sign language to the devils, beckon them to come over, just say that everything is normal and you can move on." ”

"Yes!"

The squad leader of the puppet army stood on the side of the mountain road, and with the help of higher terrain, he made sign language to the Japanese soldiers who were more than 100 meters away from the downhill.

After the news was delivered, the little devil didn't doubt it much, and he hadn't encountered an ambush all the way!

The squadron of devils lined up in a single column, and nearly two hundred devils continued to advance.

As time passed, the platoon commander of the puppet army crossed the ambush circle with the puppet soldiers, and then the leader of the devil squadron led the Japanese army into the ambush circle.

The so-called ambush circle, which is about fifty meters long.

From God's point of view, small packets of explosives are buried beneath the shallow layers of dirt trails that have been naturally treated and show no signs of time.

Each explosive bag is spaced about five meters apart, and there are a total of ten explosive packs.

On the right side of the explosives bag, there is a wire, which is also shallow buried under the soil, jumping into the grass and trees on the right side, which is all covered, and it is difficult to detect the clues, and finally at the other end of twenty or thirty meters away, it is hung on the detonator, which is controlled by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who are creeping in secret.

The devil soldiers lined up in a single row, each about a meter apart, stepped into the mountain section where the explosives were buried without noticing, but they didn't know that death was coming.

The devil continued to push forward, prostrate in a long row among the trees on the right, and slowly raised his right hand.

Until the fifty-odd devils walked through the ambush circle, the middle section of the devils was within the coverage of the explosives package, and a platoon leader quickly pressed down the palm.

The ten fighters armed with the detonator who got the signal did not hesitate any longer, and pressed the explosive pack detonator almost simultaneously.

The current extends at lightning speed, triggering the detonator directly and then causing an explosion.

Boom –

Nearly 50 meters of the road, a whole piece of shallow soil, in the powder and bones, was sent into the air, together with the forty or fifty devils who were within the 50-meter section of the road, were swept out, rolling down the steep mountain road, some fell on the devils who continued to climb, and smashed down with the living devils.

suddenly made a move, and directly took away more than 50 devils.

The sudden blow, the devil soldiers in front and behind the ambush circle, crawling and hiding like a conditioned reflex, although they were not panicked.

The platoon commander also didn't expect these ten small explosives packages that were remotely detonated to kill the devil squadron in front of him, and the first time the explosive packs were detonated, the platoon commander waved his hand and gave the order for the second combat group to attack.

Fifteen fighters armed with shotguns had long been ready to go, and they were ambushed in the front of the ambush circle, that is, in the mountain forest on the right side of the more than fifty devils who had crossed the ambush circle in advance.

The soldiers quickly approached a few meters, entered within 20 meters of the Japanese army, and while getting up, they raised the double-barreled shotgun in their hands and sprayed at the hidden devils on the mountain road.

Fifteen shotguns, each with two bullets, the projectiles were like dense raindrops, smashing towards the devils on the mountain road.

With such a dense projectile, how can a person dodge this?

Even if the devil was hiding in all directions, he was still beaten into a hornet's nest by the ammunition sprayed down.

The more than 50 devils who rushed through the ambush circle in advance, under the spray of the shotgun, the casualties instantly exceeded seventy.

"Fight back, fight back!"

The leader of the devil squadron at the back of the team pulled out his command knife and screamed.

As a result, before the little devil had time to counterattack, the third combat group commanded by a platoon leader, ten soldiers, each holding a round rolling thunder, ripped off the lead with a wicked smile on his face, and rolled down the high slope.

Although the leader of the devil squadron had never seen rolling thunder, the soldier's sense of smell was not bad, looking at the big iron ball that was smoking, he still didn't understand what was going on, and exclaimed in the drastic change in his face: "Left wing, quick, hide in the left wing woods!" ”

Boom –

Some of the devils who reacted half a beat slower witnessed the explosion of the big ball in front of them in a daze, and then the ball was shattered and unrecognizable.

In the mountains and forests on the right, after the attacks of the three combat groups were all over, the platoon commander waved his hand without hesitation and gave the order to retreat.

I don't even look at the final results of Rolling Thunder.

It's called a one-hit hit, and it's thousands of miles away.

If it was a little later, the troops around the devil would surround it, and they would not be able to withdraw if they wanted to.

This ambush, according to the instructions of the regimental headquarters, was aimed at traumatizing the Japanese puppet army, nothing more.
