……

In the depths of the village, the monk and the cavalry company commander Sun Daping and his group rendezvous.

"Company Commander Sun, how is the situation over there?"

Sun Daping couldn't help but swallow his saliva, gave a thumbs up and said, "Battalion Commander Wei, you really don't have to say what kind of killing king you are, the dozen or so devils who came over from our side were half injured on the spot." ”

"The little devil is dragged down by the wounded, and the speed of advancement is not so fast."

The monk nodded, his eyes patrolled over the several groups behind Sun Daping, and then said with a smile: "It seems that everyone is fighting well, but we don't have any major casualties." ”

Sun Daping said with a smile: "Who said no, this street battle was really happy, the devil puppet army fell down a large area without even seeing people, our soldiers don't have to take risks at all, with the familiarity with the terrain of the village, just take the little devil's nose around." ”

"There are only two fighters on the side of our group, because when the King of Slaughter was arranged, he was obviously hiding behind, and he was far enough away, but he was still scratched by fragments."

When the monk heard this, he was startled, and repeatedly asked:

"That directional anti-infantry mine, the king of killing, although this side shows the frontal fan area to the enemy, which is the main strike range, but within twenty meters behind it, it also has a certain lethality, and the soldiers must explain it clearly when using it."

"Eh, don't dare to make such a mistake again!" Sun Daping hurriedly responded, and he was also a little weak-hearted.

When the soldiers of the Independent Regiment set up the King of Slaughter here, he led his team to hide behind to see what this new mine was.

Then the fighters of the independent regiment persuaded that it might not be safe behind them, but Sun Daping didn't listen, which led to minor injuries to the two fighters.

…… Before the operation, the monk divided the cavalry company and the soldiers of the guard company brought by himself and Duan Peng into groups of three, a total of nearly 40 combat groups, and the team leader of each group was temporarily served by the soldiers of the independent regiment.

At present, all teams have basically made gains, and many devils and puppet soldiers have been injured and killed.

Among them, the main ones were the sneak attacks of various grenades, the secret shooting of black guns, and the killing of the new type of mine killing king, which caused a large number of casualties to the Japanese army.

As the soldiers of the independent regiment who are the leaders of the temporary group, the goal is very clear, to traumatize as many devils as possible.

"This is much better for injuring a devil than killing one."

"If you kill a devil, you will die if you die, and it will not affect the fight of others."

"And if you injure a little devil, the devil can't look at his comrades, at least he has to send two people to carry him back."

"In this way, twelve or thirteen devils in a class, as long as four or five are injured, the devils in this class will basically be wasted."

And for the fighters of the separate regiment served as the temporary command of the group leader.

The soldiers of the 28th Regiment were originally just obeying the orders of Sun Chuanzhong, the commander of the second battalion.

Until the next battle, I saw the various methods of the soldiers of the Independent Regiment to deal with the devils.

The fighters of the 28th Regiment were completely subdued, even some cadres were no exception.

As time passed, the devils advanced from the direction of the front and back villages.

After the monk and Duan Peng chose to fight in the streets, the personnel on both sides had already completely mixed up with the help of the houses all over the place.

On the monk's side, there were originally 30 groups assigned to the King of Killing, and at the moment only the last 8 remained.

And each of these Killing Kings, the warriors have witnessed its terrifying power with their own eyes.

With a good use, in the fan-shaped blow surface, all the devils in a squad were disabled.

If you use it a little bit, you can at least injure two or three devils at once.

This new type of mine seems to be ubiquitous in the village, turning the devil puppet army into frightened birds.

Whenever they saw some unknown objects beyond the scope of understanding, the little devils were all frightened and hurriedly retreated.

New Directional Anti-Infantry Mine - King of Kills.

The devil's side has completely concluded:

The power is terrifying, the frontal damage range is large, the shape is mainly curved, or embedded in the ground, or shallow buried in the soil, or hidden in the horns, the front facing the open area of the steel plate.

In addition, the explosion of this steel plate is like a stumbling bolt.

Others seem to be controlled by humans, and when you get closer, the hidden Eight Ways will detonate it.

It's just hard to prevent.

Street fighting, originally in order to fight more with less, dragged the devils into the densely populated villages, and then used their familiarity with the terrain to level the gap in equipment, troops, and even the quality of soldiers between them and the devils.

When the devils entered the village, they were most afraid of all kinds of mines of the Eighth Route Army.

Even in some of the most ordinary villages, even some militias with a very low level of combat, as long as they have enough mines in their hands, they can often cause a lot of trauma to the devils who enter the village.

Like what kind of stone mines, hanging mines, jellyfish mines, chain mines, etc., the little devils who blow up are people on their backs.

But the devil who has experienced the battle in front of him firmly believes that there has never been any kind of self-made landmine that is more exaggerated than this new weapon that looks like hell in front of him - a steel plate with a curved arc!

In the continuous advance, the devils and the wounded of the puppet army were carried out one after another.

Kazuo Nakano, under the anger of the people, has adjusted the tactics of advancing many times.

On the one hand, sappers were sent to follow up, holding mine detectors, and they were on guard against the sneak attack of mines on the eighth road at any time.

On the one hand, keep an eye out for new weapons on the road you are traveling—steel plates with curves.

If it weren't for the current conditions, Kazuo Nakano would even want to directly raze the entire Lijia Village with artillery.

This old devil even considered whether he could use fire to burn the entire Lijia Village, and burn all these dirt roads to death.

It's just that there are no trees in the village, and these mud and stone houses are not easy to ignite.

In addition, Kazuo Nakano worries that the dirt road in the village will be relocated using the tunnels that have been re-dug.

Only then did he give the order to enter the village to encircle and suppress.

At the same time, grenadiers were sent to follow the rear of the sweeping team, and once they were attacked by the eight-way sneak attack, they were immediately reinforced with grenadier shells.

But some of the cunning dirt eight roads simply hide in the house, and the house can't be bombarded with cannonballs, right?

I accidentally buried my own people again.

The villagers in the countryside are relatively poor, with two or three or four mud houses in one household.

Only the front and back doors are wooden doors made of wood, and when you enter the house, the small doors leading to each bedroom are just hung with broken curtains, in order to save the materials for making the doors.

At this time, the little devil often just opened the curtain, and a bayonet would suddenly stab out inside.

How could the devil who was caught off guard react and was killed on the spot.

This is a style of fighting against the curtain.

The little devils in the back also learned to be smart, and after two or three devils entered the house, when they lifted the curtains, they hid on the side of the earthen wall, and suddenly picked them open with sticks.

Outside, the two devils on the left and right hid on the side, aiming their guns at the inside of the curtain, but whenever there are eight ways to hide, they will pull the trigger at any time.

It's a pity that the little devil can't play our Eighth Route Army soldiers after all.

The ability to fight guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines and to take advantage of the environment to hide left and right has long been practiced by the fighters.

There was no one behind the curtain, but the lid of a coffin that had been placed in the hall was suddenly kicked open, and a soldier with a shell gun sat up straight, and with a few shots, he killed the three devils from behind.

The devil never dreamed that a big living person would jump out of the coffin.

Similar battles occur from time to time in local houses and alleys.

In the rear, as the number of wounded continued to increase, Kazuo Nakano ordered people to quickly count them, and his heart was also cold.

This time, the people of Xiaoli Village were used as bait to ambush and annihilate the main force of the Eighth Road.

The forces invested by Kazuo Nakano were a total of two squadrons, plus a squad and two platoons of the Imperial Army.

The two squadrons were 186 and 196 people.

The squad has 54 Imperial warriors, plus two Imperial Alliance platoons, and more than 70 Imperial Alliance troops.

In total, there were more than 500 combatants, which is already almost half the strength of the brigade.

Originally, in Nakano Kazuo's view, such a force was completely sufficient to deal with the Dohachi Road, which was poorly equipped and scarce in ammunition.

At the moment, the situation is gradually out of Nakano's control.

The two sides clashed in the village, and in less than two hours, the number of wounded Japanese puppet soldiers on Nakano Kazuo's side did not stop increasing.

Sometimes two or three were lifted, sometimes four or five were lifted, and sometimes a dozen seriously wounded people were lifted out at once.

After the statistics, the devil statistician reported to Kazuo Nakano:

"Report to the sir, at the moment there are a total of 115 wounded in the Imperial Army, 26 wounded in the Imperial Army, and 47 of them are seriously injured in urgent need of surgery."

That's it, and that's just the casualties counted in the direction of Houcun.

The casualties of the troops advancing in the front village will certainly not be small.

Kazuo Nakano listened to it and was dizzy for a long time.

A good lure ambush battle, how did it come to this?

"Bastard, these damn dirt eight roads, give me an order to all the ministries, all exit the house, prepare straw, and find a way to burn this village for me, as much as you can!"

Kazuo Nakano is in a hurry, and in order to deal with the eight roads hidden in the village, he has done everything.

"Hey!"

……

Through the wooden window, I saw the little devils hiding outside the yard and not entering the house, piling up straw outside.

The devils tied up the straw, lit it, and threw it inside from the outside of the yard.

Sun Qingshan's face changed slightly: "It's not good, the little devil is ready to set fire." ”

The squad leader said: "Platoon Leader Sun, let's go through the back door!" Xiaohu, you go and see the situation at the back door. ”

The back door of the house leads to the backyard.

Xiaohu quickly rushed to the back door, and looked out through the crack in the door, and there were also three or four devils blocking outside, hiding behind the bunker, and were setting fires.

"Platoon Leader Sun, squad leader, the situation is not good, and there are devils blocking the back door!"

"He's numb, this group of little devils, there's no way, Platoon Commander Sun, we can only forcibly kill it!"

Sun Qingshan shook his head and said, "You can't rush hard right now, otherwise you will definitely fall for the devil's trick."

Our mud house doesn't burn so easily, and the fire won't affect us so quickly.

I remember that there was a small wooden window in the back room, and when we removed it, we withdrew from the window. ”

"yes, why didn't I think of that?" The squad leader patted his head and smiled.

…… For a while, smoke was rising from the entire village area.

The little devil can't burn the house, and he wants to use the smoke to choke out the eight roads hidden in the house.

The smoke gradually rose into the air of Xiaoli Village.

Looking at his masterpiece, Kazuo Nakano smiled cruelly.

……

On the other side, the smoke rising from Xiaoli Village into the air is the fastest way to convey information.

Commander Lu, who was rushing with the main force, saw the fierce smoke from a distance.

"It's not good, the devil is setting fire to the village!"

"Second battalion commander, monk, Duan Peng, you have to hold it up for me!"

"The commander of the first battalion and the commander of the third battalion immediately divided the troops into two detours and attacked the Japanese army from the back."

"The speed must be fast, I'm afraid that the second battalion commander won't last long."

"Yes!"

The speed of the soldiers of the 28th Regiment was not slow at all, and they quickly detoured to the left and right of the Li family.

Of course, Kazuo Nakano also considered whether more main forces of the Eighth Route Army would come when he eliminated these Eighth Route Army.

At first, he confidently thought that as long as these people were used to transfer the Eight Routes, once the Eight Roads were besieged in Xiaoli Village and these Eight Roads were destroyed, it would not take much time at all.

The stubborn resistance of the monk and his entourage exceeded Kazuo Nakano's expectations, and it was delayed for more than two hours.

Soon after, when the devil's guard post spotted the figure of Hachiro suddenly emerging from the gentle terrain.

The fighters of the 28th Regiment have formed a situation of encirclement.

Kazuo Nakano was holding his command knife, looking at the fire that was gradually burning in Xiaoli Village with a cold face!

The communications soldier suddenly arrived, and hurriedly reported to Kazuo Nakano:

"Your Excellency Squadron Leader, something is wrong, there are a large number of eight roads surrounding us!"

"Nani? How many people are there in Dirt Eight Road? ”

"Sir, it seems to be the main force of the Eighth Route Army, with five or six hundred troops."

Kazuo Nakano sighed in his heart, if it weren't for being dragged down by these eight roads in Xiaoli Village right now, he would have caused a large number of casualties.

He may not have taken these reinforcements to the main force of the Eighth Route to heart.

Directly put on a posture, the two sides fought positional battles, and used the superior artillery fire to beat these dirt roads.

Kazuo Nakano was even confident that with the strength of a squadron, he could block the attack of a regiment of the Eighth Route Army head-on.

After all, the intensity of firepower and the level of equipment of both sides are not at the same level at all.

It's just that the eight roads in the village haven't been cleaned up yet!

Outside the window, the main force of the Eighth Route Army came over, and it was troublesome now.

Kazuo Nakano was helpless, on the one hand, he ordered to withdraw troops and deploy fortifications outside the village in advance to resist the encirclement of the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

On the one hand, part of the troops were arranged to beware of a sneak attack on the back of the eight roads in the village.

"Contact the command immediately, our department has successfully contained a large number of the main forces of the Eighth Route Army in the area of Lijia Village, please send reinforcements immediately."

"Hey!"

"It only takes two hours, as long as we can contain these eight roads in the area of Lijia Village, once our reinforcements arrive, these eight roads will not escape!"

Kazuo Nakano said confidently to the adjutant beside him.

In his opinion, these dirt roads in the village can hold on to their own hands for more than two hours.

How could you not do it yourself?

Outside the village, the confrontation between the devils and the soldiers of the 28th Regiment soon began.

The devil's artillery fire is indeed fierce, even at this moment, the Japanese puppet army has suffered more than 1/3 casualties, and the remaining troops take advantage of the artillery fire at hand, more than a dozen grenadiers are lined up, and the light machine gun fortifications built in advance directly block the entire open area with strong firepower.

was stunned and made Captain Lu and his entourage unable to advance for the time being.

Regiment Commander Lu was angry and anxious.

So far, he has not heard the sound of fighting coming from inside the village.

The intensity of the firepower displayed by these little devils is really amazing, and he is worried that the second battalion commander has been more than lucky.

As for the 28th Regiment, in the past six months, because of the strengthening of cooperation with the Independent Regiment in all aspects, the level of equipment has improved a lot.

At the beginning, the 28th Regiment was expanded too quickly, resulting in a large number of new recruits, poor equipment, and a scarcity of ammunition.

There are more than 3,000 soldiers in the whole regiment, and the last gun used by two or three people is still the kind of old gun whose rifling is almost smoothed.

The whole regiment is an old scalper heavy machine gun, and if it can't fight for two or three minutes on the battlefield, it will not be able to fire because of various problems.

There were only two light machine guns in a battalion, and seven in the regiment.

Two grenadiers were captured, and there were only ten rounds of corresponding eight- or nine-type grenades, and there were almost no veterans in the regiment.

Each rifle is capable of dispensing less than five bullets.

Every time it is said that it is a regiment of troops, with more than 3,000 combat strength, there is only one company that can really be pulled out to fight.

Why?

Because only by concentrating the firepower of the whole regiment can a company be supplied to barely fight an ambush battle.

At the end of each battle, even if the battle is won, although a lot of guns can be captured, the amount of ammunition captured is sometimes not even comparable to the amount consumed.

The ambush of Xiaohuangzhuang was fought in one battle.

Sun Chuanzhong, the commander of the second battalion in charge of the command, returned to the regiment headquarters and reported to Commander Lu with a bitter face:

"Commander, we have won the battle!"

Regiment Commander Lu was stunned, looking at the second battalion commander's expression that was even more ugly than crying, and wondered: "You should be happy if you win the battle, why do you still have a bitter face?" ”

Sun Chuanzhong said helplessly: "Regiment commander, the battle was won, and more than 50 guns were captured, but a total of 2,357 bullets of various calibers were captured.

But the ammunition we consumed in this battle, we found that after counting, it was 3,216 rounds, and we lost nearly 1,000 rounds of ammunition at once.

If this kind of battle continues, sooner or later, our fighters will have to fight hard with the little devils with their bare hands, Commander......"

In one sentence, it exhausts the difficult situation of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who were carrying out arduous and outstanding work behind enemy lines.

In fact, the Eighth Route Army fought against Japan behind enemy lines, and there were always such drawbacks:

In addition to 40 years of "sweeping" by the Japanese army, the guns seized and the losses were beyond their means.

In the remaining three years, the seizure of guns by various units of the Eighth Route Army has actually been greater than the loss.

And ammunition is the opposite, except for 38 years, the capture of ammunition in the rest of the years, far from keeping up with consumption.

Even if an ambush is fought, under normal circumstances, the amount of ammunition consumed is even two or three times the amount of ammunition captured, and the more you fight, the poorer you become, this is the status quo.

At present, the equipment level of the 28th regiment has been improved a lot.

Because of doing business with the Independent Regiment, plus Kong Jie's equipment assistance to the 28th Regiment.

Now in the 28th regiment, there are four heavy machine guns in the whole regiment.

There were more than a dozen light machine guns, and when the commanders of the regiments in Jizhong heard about this, they were all envious, and Regiment Commander Lu's mouth was about to laugh crookedly.

In addition, Kong Jie also sent ten grenadiers in the regiment, or 50 small cannons transformed and produced by the Independent Regiment Repair Institute, plus 500 shells.

This is also the reason why the 28th Regiment has become more and more courageous since the tunnel warfare was carried out in Jizhong during this period, and even became the most brilliant regiment-level combat unit in Jizhong.

Well-equipped, with plenty of ammunition and a hard waist, you can naturally win battles!

It's just that this battle has been fought a lot, and there are many times when the consumption is greater than the capture.

The family background of the 28th regiment is also getting smaller and smaller.

At present, Commander Lu led the main force that came over with reinforcements.

There were only ten light machine guns in hand, plus eight 50 small guns.

The only mortar in the regiment was not brought because it was too bulky and the situation was urgent.

In the face of the powerful artillery fire of the little devils, they counterattacked.

Commander Lu did not give the order to open fire at the first time.

The reason is very simple, I feel sorry for the shells, and if you shoot one shot, you will have one less shot.

It wasn't until the monks in the village heard the battle outside the village that they realized that Regiment Commander Lu had come with reinforcements from the main force, and quickly tried to attack from the back of the Japanese army.

Commander Lu heard the battle in the village and made sure that the second battalion commander and they were all alive.

He did not hesitate any longer, and immediately gave the order:

"The first battalion commander and the third battalion commander, take our 50 small cannon and beat him up as a son of a bitch, now is not the time to feel distressed about the cannonballs."

In his heart, he muttered:

Lao Kong, Lao Kong, my cannonball is lost to save your tiger general, your brother can't admit it, you must replenish it to me when you go back!

Boom –

The 50 small cannon transformed and produced by the Independent Regiment Repair Institute is better than the devil's Type 89 grenadier in terms of range and power.

Shells exploded on Japanese fortifications.

There were some casualties on the Japanese side.

Kazuo Nakano, who was commanding in the rear, was also taken aback, the artillery fire at hand of these main forces of the Eighth Route Army was really not weak.

He was sure that these in front of him must be the main force of the 28th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

In the past six months, I don't know what means these 28 regiments have used, and the level of equipment in the regiment has suddenly improved a lot.

The most difficult Eighth Route Army in the Jizhong region belonged to this 28th Regiment.

Thinking of this, Kazuo Nakano made up his mind to hold on to it, and he must hold on until the reinforcements arrived, and in one fell swoop wiped out the main force of the 28th Regiment near Xiaoli Village.

Inside the village.

Due to the retreat of the Japanese puppet army, the monks and Sun Chuanzhong quickly regathered the various groups of soldiers together and hid in the alley away from the area where the devils set fire.

Listening to the increasingly fierce battle outside the window, Sun Chuanzhong was overjoyed:

"It must be our regiment commander who came over with the main force!"

"Monk, let's fight, let's force a surprise attack on our side, so that the devils can't take care of each other, and respond to the attack of the head of the regiment."

The monk thought for a while, listened to the sound of the devil's eight-nine grenadier in his ears, nodded, and said:

"Right now, the devil is stubbornly defending, and he is clearly still making a small calculation, thinking about pinning us down in the area of Xiaoli Village, and I estimate that the devil has asked for help from the rear of the Japanese army."

"Devil reinforcements will arrive soon, and we must have to fight quickly."

"The grenadier of the little devil is the biggest threat, in this way, the second battalion commander, Company Commander Sun, you lead the soldiers to advance later, and Duan Peng and I will lead the team to knock out the devil's grenadier position first."

Sun Chuanzhong said: "The grenadiers of the devils may not be together, and they must be protected by the little devils, so I'm afraid it's not easy for us to start." ”

After Sun Chuanzhong said that, he saw the monk and Duan Peng in front of him glance at each other, and laughed tacitly.

Duan Peng said with a smile: "Second battalion commander, do you remember the clothes of the little devils we asked everyone to collect?" ”

"Devil's clothes?"

Sun Chuanzhong was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Monk Duan Peng, don't you mean to pretend to be a little devil and sneak in?" ”

The monk smiled and nodded.

Duan Peng on the side even dragged two sentences of Japanese with a serious face.

Sun Chuanzhong was stunned, "Isn't this the dog language of the little devil?" Duan Peng, will you do this? ”

Duan Peng replied: "That is, my instructors can say, if you master a little more Japanese, you can master a little more skill in killing devils, and in order to practice Japanese well, I have to deal with the devil captives in the regiment." ”
