Naturally, it was not the M1 Garand rifle that was issued to Li Shengmin, and if this semi-automatic rifle had not been used, it would definitely not be used to it if it was suddenly used.

Therefore, what Duan Peng prepared for Li Shengmin was a Type 38 rifle seized from the devil.

At this time, with the assistance of a group of ten warriors, the people moved in the direction of the back village.

With the demise of the devil squad leader Taro Minamimura and others, the sound of battle in the village also aroused the vigilance of the Japanese puppet army stationed at the entrance of the village.

The leader of the devil squadron immediately sent a squad of devils to investigate the situation in the direction of the rice field in the village.

Duan Peng and the soldiers of the second group had already laid an ambush in advance, and it was just a squad of devils, and it was not enough to even plug the gaps between their teeth, and after a burst of gunshots, all twelve devils were eliminated.

At this time, overlooking the entire Xiaoli Village from a high altitude.

Sun Daping, commander of the cavalry company of the 28th regiment, divided the cavalry company into two parts, and a team of 40 soldiers made a detour in the direction of the entrance of the village from the gentle area outside Xiaoli Village, attracting the attention of the vast majority of the Japanese puppet army.

And this time the trap laid by the Japanese army in Xiaoli Village is just as the monk and others speculated.

The devil wants to use these people as bait to attract the main force of the Eighth Route Army, which has been hiding in the tunnels and refuses to come out, and then encircle and annihilate them.

In order to achieve this goal, the devil officer self-righteously sent more than 100 puppet troops to guard Xiaoli Village, so as to convince the Eighth Route Army that they only had this little strength.

In addition, the devils also hid a full squadron under the gentle slope on the left and right less than a kilometer away from Xiaoli Village.

Not only that, but this time, in order to enhance the mobility of the team and deal with the main force of the Eighth Route that came to rescue the people of Xiaoli Village, the two Japanese squadrons also strengthened four tanks.

Of course, only the Japanese Type 92 ultralight tank.

It is commonly known as the Peeding tank by the Chinese army.

The armor of this Peeding tank is quite weak, with a dead weight of only 3.2 tons, and it can only be called a light armored vehicle, not a tank.

It is 3.08 meters long, 1.62 meters wide and 1.62 meters high.

Judging from this height, with the monk's 1.8 meters in size, this tank is more than ten centimeters lower than the monk.

The hull of the whole vehicle is welded with 6 mm of armor, and the protection is very poor, and it only takes a single hit of an explosive bag or mountain gun to blow it up.

However, at the moment, the little devil strengthens the Peewee Tank, which is also suitable for the current situation.

Although this Douding tank has a light hull and poor protection, it also has its advantages, with strong mobility, the maximum speed can even reach 40 kilometers per hour, and the maximum range is 208 kilometers.

This time, the devils used the people of Xiaoli Village as bait, and strengthened four Douding tanks, just thinking of quickly maneuvering to quickly surround the main force of the Eighth Route Army that had come over.

The entire Lijia Village is a big net laid by the Japanese army for the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and the surrounding area is an open area, and only Lijia Village is the last position that these Eighth Route Forces can retreat.

However, at present, the sudden appearance of the cavalry unit of the 28th Regiment and the tactics of the light cavalry were beyond the expectations of Kazuo Nakano, the leader of the devil squadron.

This light cavalry unit was very fast, and suddenly made a detour from the left and right of Xiaoli Village, and opened fire on the Japanese puppet military fortifications at the entrance of the village.

The forward observation post immediately passed the news to Kazuo Nakano.

"Report to the chief, the cavalry unit of the Eighth Route Army has been found in the area of the entrance of Xiaoli Village."

Kazuo Nakano was immediately overjoyed, the Eighth Route Army lacked mechanized troops, and even if the cavalry was their mechanized troops, it was precious to the Eighth Route Army!

Right now, wouldn't it be beautiful to use these people to first catch the cavalry units of the Eighth Route Army, destroy them, and win the first battle?

"Roar West, immediately communicate with the Nancun squad to contain this cavalry of the Eighth Route Army, and wait for our troops to surround it."

"Hey!"

The Japanese squadrons, which were originally ambushed on the flanks of Xiaoli Village, quickly detoured towards the left and right flanks of the cavalry company.

This situation was immediately discovered by the guard post arranged by Company Commander Sun.

Sun Daping followed the monk's tape and did not hesitate to give the order to withdraw while fighting.

The little devils who detoured from the left and right, how could two legs run more than four legs, and they could only watch that the encirclement had not yet closed, and these cavalry of the Eighth Route Army broke through.

Since the two sides are still separated by a long distance, even the devil's Peanding tank cannot intercept the retreating cavalry at absolute speed.

Kazuo Nakano could only watch as the duck flew again.

But Kazuo Nakano was not in a hurry, he thought that as long as there were villagers from Lijia Village in hand, the Eighth Route Army would come over sooner or later.

Then, the signal soldier sent an order: "Report to Your Excellency Captain, there is a communication from the Nancun team, not long ago, the Eighth Route Army attacked the rice field from the direction of the rear rush, and the captain of the Nancun team was killed on the spot. ”

"This eight-way team has fierce firepower and strong combat effectiveness, and the Nancun squad has suffered heavy casualties, and it can't break through for a while."

Kazuo Nakano suddenly realized that the purpose of the previous cavalry of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village to harass him, and it seemed that it was to cooperate with the Eighth Route in the village and rescue the villagers of Xiaoli Village.

"Yeongxi, don't let go of any of the Tuba Road in the village, immediately order the South Village team to advance into the village."

"The first squad and the second squad are equipped with two tanks, detouring from the left flank of Xiaoli Village, and the third squad and the fourth squad are equipped with two tanks, detouring from the right flank of Xiaoli Village, and quickly blocking the retreat roads of these eight roads for me."

"Hey!"

……

Xiao Li Village.

The monk and his entourage covered the smooth transfer of the people to the back village area.

What gave the monk and Duan Peng a bit of a headache was that due to the limitations of the terrain and terrain, the villages in this Ji were really not as convenient as the people in the Taihang area to transfer, and there were deep mountains and old forests that could be used to hide at any time.

Now out of the village, as far as the eye can see, the terrain is all gentle.

If this is caught up by the devils, it can only be used as a live target.

can continue to stay in the village, once besieged by the little devils, it will also be nine deaths.

"Company commander, the devil advanced at the same time from the left and right flanks outside the village, as well as the direction of the village entrance. In addition, we also found the figure of the devil tank, which seems to want to intercept the retreat of the back village in advance! ”

The guard post outside the village transmitted the roundabout communication of the Japanese army through the shortwave radio, and the signal soldier reported to the monk.

The situation is urgent, and the current strength of the monk and his party is limited.

In addition, there are more than 100 people dragging down.

Once the devil's wings are blocked in Xiaoli Village, the consequences are unimaginable.

The terrain of the plains in this Jizhong is too difficult to manage, and the tunnels that were originally opened in the village were blown up and blocked by the devils, so they cannot be used to transfer for the time being.

The situation is becoming more and more urgent.

The monk didn't have time to think about it, and immediately ordered: "Li Shengmin, I will send you some more guns and ammunition, and you will temporarily transfer personnel from the people to form a militia squad to cover the transfer of the people to the direction of the base area." ”

"We will stay to block the Japanese puppet army and buy enough time for the transfer of the people, the situation is urgent at the moment, I don't have time to talk to you, just ask you, can you complete the task?"

The monk's party wore steel helmets and was well-equipped.

Li Shengmin had heard Yang Bing say before that it was a reinforcement sent by Commander Kong of the Independent Regiment.

In the previous battle in the dojo area, the strong combat effectiveness shown by the soldiers of the independent regiment made Li Shengmin even more amazed.

For the commander of the monk, Li Shengmin is quite admired.

At this moment, the monk ordered, realizing that the current situation was urgent and could not be said more, Li Shengmin responded with an oath: "Please rest assured, Comrade Company Commander, I will swear to complete the task!" ”

"Then set off immediately and go straight in the direction of the base area. Commander Lu should have already sent reinforcements, as long as you meet them, the villagers will be safe. ”

"Yes!"

Li Shengmin took the order and immediately went to prepare.

At this time, the monk looked at Sun Chuanzhong, the commander of the second battalion.

Sun Chuanzhong scolded with a smile: "Monk, at this critical time, you can't be a hero in your first team, right?" Don't say anything, if I leave behind the reinforcements of your first detachment and withdraw in advance, I won't have the face to see anyone in the future. ”

"Isn't it just a little devil, let's kill him in Lijia Village today."

When he said these words, Sun Chuanzhong's face was resolute, he knew the current situation, and he knew that staying here would be lifeless.

Outside the village.

Sun Daping, the commander of the cavalry company, rushed to the direction of Houcun with the withdrawn cavalry.

A guard post sent by the monk stopped them halfway.

"Company Commander Sun, at the moment, the Japanese puppet army is using tanks and is coming from the left and right, our company commander said that the cavalry company of the 28th Regiment is not easy to form, and you should not stay here to take risks, he asked you to immediately retreat in the direction of the base area, and at the same time cover the transfer of the people!"

Sun Daping listened, but laughed at the soldiers left and right:

"Comrades, did you hear that? Comrades of the Independent Regiment are looking down on us! ”

"Everyone's life is fate, and there is nothing that should not be done."

"The comrades of the independent regiment came to reinforce us this time, this is a great friendship, can we watch our brother troops stay here and fight alone?"

"Can't-"

The soldiers of the entire cavalry company roared in unison.

Sun Dalian smiled and said loudly: "Good job, our cavalry company has no bad seeds, and all of them are with handles." ”

"But Company Commander Wei has a good saying, it's not easy for our regiment commander to get these war horses, platoon commander, you arrange a few soldiers to drive the war horses, transfer with the people, and the others bring all the equipment and ammunition to dismount, and follow me to reinforce Company Commander Wei!"

"Yes!"

In this way, Sun Daping left five warriors to be responsible for transferring the war horses, and rushed to the direction of Houcun with the remaining more than seventy warriors.

The two sides converge in the Houcun area.

The monk was a little helpless, and the corners of his mouth were full of bitterness, "Company Commander Sun, why do you bother?" ”

Sun Daping resolutely laughed and said: "Company Commander Wei, you don't need to say anything, if it comes to killing devils, our 28th regiment may not be worse than your independent regiment, comrades, don't you say?" ”

With the cavalry company soldiers responding in unison.

The monk could only accept the fact that Sun Daping and his party stayed to fight.

Of course, in the bottom of my heart, the monks, Duan Peng, and the soldiers of the independent regiment also admired.

It is worthy of the troops that Commander Ding once led.

The soldiers of the 28th regiment are all good.

If you want to go, you will walk together, and if you want to fight, you will fight together.

We care about war horses, and we can send them away.

But we are not afraid of death, and we are willing to stay and fight hard with our brother troops!

Sun Chuanzhong smiled brightly, "Old Sun, if you really withdraw with the soldiers, after this battle, if I can survive and go back to see you again, I will definitely scold you." ”

Sun Daping said happily: "Second battalion commander, we don't dare to withdraw if I say this to you." ”

Hahahaha –

In the midst of laughter, with the precedent of successfully saving the people this time, Sun Chuanzhong and Sun Daping surprisingly agreed on the same opinion, how to fight next, and were willing to obey the monk's command.

Looking at the gathered eyes of the warriors, the first thing the monk said was:

"Comrades, do you think this is a trap set by the little devils and surround us?"

"No, let me tell you, this is clearly that we have surrounded the little devils, and the next thing is our feast of slaughtering devils!"

"Duan Peng, are we guys ready?"

Duan Pengle said: "Don't worry, the explosives bag and the king of killing have already been brought over, monk, speaking of which, fortunately, we have a heart, this time we came over in a hurry, and we haven't forgotten to bring these treasures that kill devils." ”

The monk said: "It's a pity, this time the time is too tight, the number we bring is limited, the King of Killing will bring thirty, if you bring all of them, how many devils will not be enough for us to kill this time." ”

The monk and Duan Peng said without saying a word, while Sun Chuanzhong and Sun Daping and his party listened in a fog.

The King of Killing?

What's that?

The monk did not explain, but quickly arranged Sun Chuanzhong and Sun Daping and his party, and led the team to build a two-line fortification in the direction of the back village.

"Try to dig some tunnels as much as possible, even if it's a temporary hideout, to avoid the devil's fire."

"The two lines of fortifications are used to block the devils who come from the entrance of the village and the back village, but the fortifications are dead, the people are alive, once the devils attack fiercely, we will immediately abandon the fortifications and enter the village to fight street battles."

In addition, considering that the Japanese army may continue to send troops to pursue the displaced civilians.

The monk and Duan Peng each led a team and made a detour to the left and right flanks of the village to attract the firepower of the Japanese puppet army and let the devil puppet army focus on the battle in the village.

"Duan Peng, the devil has four tanks, a lot of them, but it's just the most rubbish Douding tank, find a way to blow up two of him, and fill the hatred value of the devil, let's go into the village to fight in the streets, and slowly clean up these devils."

"Huh!" Duan Peng replied and couldn't help laughing.

Little Peasy Tank!

It's okay to bully and bully the troops in Jizhong, if you want to bully the team of our independent regiment, your little devil is purely a birthday boy hanged himself, and he thinks his life is long.

The scouts at the front quickly passed on the situation of the Japanese puppet army:

"Company commander, in addition to the more than 100 Japanese puppet troops who were originally in Xiaoli Village, the devil also ambushed almost two squadrons of troops outside the village, with a total of more than 500 Japanese puppet troops."

The monk nodded, calculating the difference in strength between the two sides:

"There are more than 70 people left in the cavalry company on our side, plus the soldiers of the guard company, there are more than 100 people in total, compared with the strength of the little devils, it is almost 1:5, which is not too much!"

"As for the ...... equipment"

The monk just wanted to say that with the excellent equipment of our independent regiment, there is no problem at all in crushing the little devils and the puppet army.

Then I saw that most of the soldiers in the cavalry company were made in Hanyang, and there were not a few Type 38 rifles.

As for the cavalry companies of the separate regiments, the rifles for the fighters were special.

The cavalry company of the 28th regiment was not seen at all.

Seeing the monk looking at him with a stunned face, Sun Chuanzhong's old face turned red and said: "Monk, don't look at us like this, our 28th regiment is not comparable to your independent regiment, the family is big, and there is an all-round commander like Commander Kong who can do business and fight." ”

"The equipment of our cavalry company is already quite good, not to mention a rifle per person, the old sleeve used before has long been replaced."

"The main combat units of each battalion of our 28th Regiment, there are even soldiers who use old guns that are almost smoothed out of rifling, and some soldiers even use simple bird guns made by our old blacksmiths."

"That's it, or in the past six months, our 28th Regiment has cooperated with your independent regiment, and the equipment in the regiment has developed a lot."

"Earlier, only two or three people in our 28th Regiment could carry a robbery, not to mention the lack of guns, not to mention the number of people, and the number of bullets was even less pitiful, with less than five bullets per person."

The monk didn't speak, speechless.

This is really when he left the independent regiment and left his mother's house, he learned about his mother's wealth.

Some of the soldiers of the guard company who followed the monk to Jizhong this time were even more stunned.

A little soldier directly said everyone's thoughts: "I thought that the troops here in Jizhong, even if they are not as good as the equipment level of our independent regiment, will not be much worse!" ”

"Now I feel the one hundred and twenty rounds of ammunition in my pocket, and I suddenly feel like a big dog, what a sin!"

Sun Chuanzhong: "......"

Sun Daping: "......"

Soldiers of the cavalry company of the 28th regiment in Jizhong: "......"

It's also too devastating.

Ahem cough cough –

The monk coughed lightly and asked, "Company Commander Sun, what is the per capita ammunition of our soldiers?" ”

Sun Daping said: "I came out in a hurry this time, and I didn't bring enough ammunition in advance, and the amount of ammunition distributed by our cavalry company in peacetime has always been the largest in the regiment. ”

"This time it was 20 rounds per person, and some of them were consumed in the previous battle, and now there are about 15 rounds per person."

The monk said: "We use Garand rifles, and the caliber of the bullets is different, so there is no way to give you some ammunition."

In this way, just now from the devil puppet army has captured some 38 rifles and Hanyang-made, everyone will be evenly bullets, once the street fighting starts in the village, we can only fight separately, and the ammunition will not be able to continue to be distributed at that time. ”

"Good!"

After the rapid arrangement, the monk led a team to block the Japanese pursuing force on the left flank outside the village.

Sun Chuanzhong fought with the monk here.

Sun Daping followed Duan Peng to block the Japanese pursuers from the other direction.

After arriving at the place, the monk gave the order, and the soldiers divided into two groups and quickly moved to dig a pit in the ground and bury a remote explosive package controlled by a connection of wires and electric detonators.

Considering that once the Japanese army is blocked, it will definitely focus on the village and enter Xiaoli Village from the road in the back village.

The monk ordered these explosive packs to be buried on the road from the back village to the village, and all the explosive packs at hand were buried in a triangular shape, in order to ensure that the devil's tank was blown up at one time, the interval between the buried explosive packs was less than two meters, and the whole triangular anti-tank mine group was constructed.

And the surface has been treated naturally, and even re-covered with grass, at least from a distance.

In the words of the monk, "This is a big meal we prepared for the little devil's Douding Tank." ”

Soon.

The two teams sent by Kazuo Nakano, the leader of the devil squadron, with the coordination of the two Peanding tanks, made a detour to the left and right of the back village entrance.

The devil officer in command saw the transferred civilians from the binoculars and quickly ordered a pursuit.

Then, in the area close to the back village, it was blocked by the fire of the troops led by the monk and Duan Peng.

Boom –

Artillery fire exploded in the area where the devils were advancing.

Looking at the four or five devils who were blown up on the spot from the binoculars, Sun Chuanzhong exclaimed with an exclamation on his face: "Monk, I see that the caliber of this cannon is not large, but the power is not small, and the range is so far, which is beyond the range of the devil's grenadier." ”

The monk said with a smile: "This is the 60 mm mortar that our regiment commander got from the Yankees, the cannon body is light, powerful, and has a long range, completely crushing the devil's eighty or ninety grenadiers." ”

"Good stuff!" Sun Chuanzhong looked envious.

In addition, Sun Chuanzhong noticed that on the side of the soldiers of the Independent Regiment, each mortar was operated by three people, an observer, a gunner, and a loader.

After a round of artillery bombardment, the advancing Japanese troops were suddenly bombarded by artillery, and their speed dropped instantly.

The monk looked at it with a telescope for a moment, and said with a smile: "The devil stopped speed, this is preparing to return fire with artillery fire, retreat, transfer the artillery position, and wait until the devil advances before continuing to attack." ”
