Chapter 383: Saving the People

Ten minutes later, Ma Wanzhong ordered two battalions of troops to start attacking the Japanese troops on the front position, the gunfire rang out, the originally quiet and simple village experienced the first war in hundreds of years, the people in the courtyard of the landlord's house heard the gunshots and explosions, and some people began to tremble, but they didn't know whether they were frightened or frozen by the rain. Eight? 1. Chinese ≈.

In the entire landlord's compound, there were only four Japanese soldiers guarding them from four directions, and the Japanese squad leader never seemed to regard these ordinary people as a threat to them.

"Boom Boom"

In the first attack, the Japanese defense line was precarious by two battalions of the 33rd Independent Division, but the Japanese still held on, because the Japanese captain put all the soldiers he could arrange in his hands into the defense, and even one Japanese squadron attacking the village was reduced to two Japanese squads.

The face of the Japanese captain was not good-looking, the first charge of the squadron caused them so many casualties, he didn't know if he could hold out until the arrival of the support troops, even if they could reach it, it was estimated that he would never see the elimination of the Chinese squadron again.

"Signal soldier, contact the brigade commander, urge the Imperial Allied Army to support as soon as possible, and attack the squadron from behind!"

The Japanese captain now hopes that the Imperial Allied Army can play a role, and now the closest to them is the Imperial Allied Army, but he also knows very well that the Imperial Allied Army is unreliable, and this is not just a matter of combat effectiveness.

However, will the Imperial Concord really give him hope? The Japanese captain thought for a moment, then shook his head again, maybe he wanted to give himself a little psychological comfort.

The two Japanese squads of the 3rd Squadron had already achieved some results in attacking the village, and after losing the strength of one squadron, they had taken control of the western third of the courtyard of the village of Yaorengou. But the only remaining squad was no longer able to attack, so they could only hold a few courtyards to block the squadron in the village from attacking them.

Street fighting is more difficult to fight than offensive and defensive battles, and often a soldier can withstand the attack of a dozen Japanese soldiers with the help of various courtyard walls and streets in the village, so the Japanese army has to pay a very heavy price for every step forward.

The Japanese captain infiltrated his headquarters into a courtyard, which was only another yard away from the headquarters of the advance company commander, and the Japanese captain was not at all worried that the squadron in the village would rush into his headquarters.

The battle at the entrance of the village has become more and more anxious, the squadron ** team actually rushed to the position and had a white-knuckle battle with the little devil, both sides suffered heavy losses, the Japanese captain continued to transfer troops from both flanks to support the village entrance, so that the Japanese troops on both wings were killed by the squadron ** more than half, and had to retreat to the middle.

In just two charges, the soldiers of the first and third regiments respectively occupied the two flanks of the entire outskirts of the village, and the Japanese captain saw that the situation was critical, and immediately retreated part of the troops to the village, and then concentrated the remaining troops at the entrance of the village, hoping to be able to resist the squadron.

The Japanese captain saw that the two flanks were occupied by the squadron, and then formed a semi-encirclement posture against them. He really couldn't think of any way to not lose in this battle, and the telegram he had already supported had been sent to his brigade commander countless times, but it was for the sake of the Japanese Empire that he had been restored, and you had to hold on.

Looking at the telegram from the brigade commander again, the Japanese captain was completely angry: "Hold! How to keep! You tell me how to keep it! The Japanese captain tore the telegram in his hand into countless pieces and threw it out.

In just one hour, one of his brigades, including the machine gun squadron, had five squadrons and 1,300 troops, but now there were only more than 700 people left, and it would take two hours for the support troops to arrive, and he could not hold out for two hours at all according to the current situation.

The company commander of the advance company also heard the roar of the little devil commander not far away, and his heart was itching, and he really wanted to take the soldiers to capture the captain of this little devil alive, but after these battles, there were still more than 50 people in their company who could fight, and there were still 30 wounded people lying in the room, so he didn't dare to risk attacking.

"What are the little devils yelling about! Are you afraid that no one will collect their bodies if they die? One of the warriors teased.

"Don't talk too much, keep an eye on it!" A squad leader said.

However, a trace of bad thought flashed in the heart of the commander of the advance company, if the little devil was forcibly suppressed into the village by the troops outside, would the Japanese army jump over the wall in a hurry, which made the company commander of the advance company feel worried.

"Squad leader!" The company commander shouted to a veteran.

The squad leader trotted to the company commander's side: "What's the matter with the company commander?" ”

"I'll give you a mission......" the company commander whispered in the ear of a squad leader.

"Don't worry, company commander, I promise to complete the mission!" Said the first squad leader.

"There are not many little devils in the east of the village, and the defense must be sparse, you must be hidden with the soldiers, remember to wait until the target is confirmed before you start." The company commander told the squad leader to be careful.

The squad leader nodded solemnly, and then bent over to select the fighters.

The captain of the little devil was walking back and forth in his temporary headquarters, and the sound of gunfire and explosions outside the village made him uneasy, and he couldn't think quietly. The most important thing is that the positions on both flanks of the village have been lost, and the next squadron will inevitably launch a fierce attack on the entire village.

"Your Excellency, there are still villagers in the village, can we take advantage of it and buy us some time?" The staff officer of the Japanese army reported to the group leader.

The captain of the Japanese army originally disdained to use these means, because in his subconscious, the Imperial Japanese Army had formed an invincible and invincible army, and without these means at all, the squadron would be beaten by them, but judging from the current situation, it seems that they are almost out of the ass.

"Drive all the people in the village to the front line, and if the squadron in the village dares to stop it, start executing the people."

When life and death are at stake, the captain of the little devil can't care about the dignity of the Imperial Japanese Army, as long as he can wipe out the army in front of them and keep his brigade, let alone let the people go to the battlefield, even if he kills these people with his own hands.

After receiving the order, the two teams of the little devils began to intersperse detours into the village, several courtyards in the middle of the village were still occupied by the squadron, the west and east of the village were completely incompatible, and if they wanted to bring the people to the position, they must first get in touch with the troops holding on to the east of the village.

The company commander showed the intentions of the little devil, how could he easily let the little devil pass through a few courtyards in the middle of the village, and street fighting was born in the village again.

"Bang Bang"

The Chinese soldiers are becoming more and more familiar with the terrain in the village, and they change places with one shot, and the strength of the two squads of the little devils cannot be spread in the village at all, but they are not in the mood to take down the yard where the squadron is holding on, they only need to cover a few soldiers through the village, contact the Japanese army in the east of the village, and then threaten the people, the squadron in the village will definitely not attack them.

"Bang!"

A soldier killed a little devil through a gap in the wall, and then quickly evacuated, and then an explosion sounded, which turned out to be a little devil throwing a grenade.

"Squad leader, the little devil still wants to take down the yard we defended unintentionally!" The soldier just now moved to his squad leader, and although he was now a little devil with strong combat effectiveness, they didn't rush into the courtyard at all, and only cared about going out to the east of the village.

"The little devil should be trying to get in touch with the troops in the east of the village, there must be some important change, tell the brothers, do your best to block the little devil, don't let them pass." The squad leader immediately analyzed the little devil's intentions.

However, the company commander had already been prepared, and he had already arranged for a squad leader to take ten soldiers to rescue the people.

In the dark, it was a soldier clinging to the root of the wall, bypassing the two courtyards defended by the little devil, it was too dark, and the little devil did not show them at all, so the squad leader and the soldiers quickly approached the compound of the landlord's house.

"Squad leader, there are four little devils in the yard, standing guard in four different directions, there is a light machine gun of little devils in the southeast direction, and there are rifles in all other directions." A soldier reported to the squad leader after scouting, "But whether there are still little devils in the yard can't be seen clearly, only a group of ordinary people who are pressed by the black." ”

The first squad leader scratched his head: "Things seem to be a bit tricky, but no matter how difficult it is, we have to do it, and the lives of the people are all in our hands." ”

The two Japanese squads suffered heavy casualties as they passed through the middle of the village, and the 33rd Independent Division had more automatic firepower than the little devils, and the submachine guns were very cheap in the battle, especially for defensive defense. After suffering more than 70 casualties, the little devil finally sent more than a dozen Japanese soldiers to the east of the village and contacted the captain of the Japanese army in the east of the village.

"The captain ordered us to escort the people to the position at the entrance of the village, and you continue to defend in place, and not a single Chinese soldier can be let go." A Japanese soldier conveyed the captain's order.

The Japanese squad leader was already wounded, but the wound was not serious, and he was covered by the 38 Da and pierced a hole in his arm.

"You take them to the courtyard and let them take the people away." The Japanese squad leader sat on a stool and did not get up, although his wound had been treated, it was easy to remove the wound with a little movement, so the soldiers were arranged to take them there.

However, a thrilling scene is unfolding in the compound of the landlord's house, which will determine whether the people of the village will survive or not.

Under the arrangement of the first squad leader, two fighters in each of the four directions are in charge, and the first squad leader is responsible for covering the front with two fighters with submachine guns, and once the target is exposed, they will forcibly open fire and take the courtyard of the landlord's house.
