Chapter 385: The End of the Battle of Burning Man Gully
They didn't attack from behind the little devil at first, because although the little devil did not have an advantage in strength, after all, it was the strength of a large team, and as long as two squads were slightly divided, they could block the attack of a company with the intricate roads and courtyard walls in the village.
However, now that the Japanese army has lost a lot of strength by the attacking troops, the rear defense will definitely gradually become empty, and at this time, as long as one company is arranged, the possibility of success is very high.
Ma Wanzhong was reminded by Hu Guoshan, and a great hope suddenly rose in his heart: "Old Hu, I'll trouble you this time." ”
Seeing that his suggestion was agreed, Hu Guoshan was also very happy: "Who is with whom of our two brothers, wait for my good news, I will go." ”
A stalemate was formed in the landlord's compound, although there were still nine soldiers left around the squad leader, but in the face of more than 30 Japanese troops, there was no slightest pressure, on the one hand, the squad leader they captured a crooked handle of the Japanese army, plus a light machine gun they carried, needless to say the advantage in firepower.
On the other hand, although the courtyard wall of the landlord's house was not as good as the city wall, it was much better than the courtyard wall of the other courtyards in the village, which was simply made of stones, so they still had the advantage of the terrain, and after the little devil charged twice, he left seven or eight corpses, and never charged again.
The battle continued, and the two sides seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, but they both knew that this was not a tacit understanding, and the other party would kill them at any time.
Hu Guoshan had already started the operation with a company of soldiers, and after his selection, at least half of the men in this company were carrying submachine guns. Of course, the captain of the little devil also saw in the telescope that the Chinese army on the opposite side was deploying troops, and he was the captain for such a long time, and he knew very well what the Chinese army was going to do, but he did not have any troops in his hands to defend the east side of the village, and now several courtyards in the middle of the village were still occupied by the Chinese army.
A company of soldiers bypassed the south of the village after more than ten minutes, and when Hu Guoshan heard the sporadic gunfire coming from the direction of the landlord's compound, he felt inexplicable, according to the original report, there were no troops at all on the east side of the village, and now the gunfire must have changed.
"You two go and scout the situation first, and the others will come with me!" Hu Guoshan must first determine which side is his own troops, otherwise a company of soldiers will rush into the village and be unable to distinguish between friend and foe in the dark, and they will suffer when the time comes.
Just a few minutes later, the two fighters reported the reconnaissance to Hu Guoshan.
"Have you made contact with them?" Hu Guoshan asked.
"I've already been contacted, there are still about twenty little devils opposite them, as long as we get rid of these twenty little devils, the little devils in the east of the village basically don't have any threat." A fighter said to Hu Guoshan.
"The three platoon commanders take your soldiers, in groups of three, each group must have at least one submachine gun, to eliminate those twenty little devils, and the rest will follow me into the courtyard to meet the soldiers."
With the support of a company of soldiers, the battle seems to have become very easy, more than 20 little devils are not enough for the three platoon commanders to stuff their teeth, a grenade, and then a charge, the third platoon only paid the price of two people injured and easily dealt with more than 20 little devils.
The captain of the little devil's squad of course heard the explosion coming from the direction of the landlord's compound, and he knew that the reinforcements of the Chinese army had arrived, and now it was their turn to be caught in the middle. But he didn't have the slightest recourse, and there were only ten fighters left around him who could fight, and a dozen seriously wounded lying in the room.
When the squad leader heard the explosion, he knew that today was the last night he lived in this world, and instead of wiping his pistol, he staggered to the edge of the courtyard wall with his injured arm on his hand, wanting to witness the end of the battle tonight.
The battle in the courtyard where the little devil was located ended very simply, in the courtyard of only ten people, although the Japanese army resisted desperately, even if it was tenacious, it could not resist an elite company brought by Hu Guoshan.
When Hu Guoshan saw more than a dozen Japanese soldiers lying in the room, he did not hesitate at all, pulled the grenade, threw it into the room, and then joined the advance company.
When the captain of the Japanese army knew that his rear road was completely blocked, he hurriedly moved his headquarters again, because his headquarters was too close to the Chinese troops in the rear, and as long as he rushed through the two courtyards, grenades could be thrown into his headquarters.
"A group of three people, a squad of three teams, submachine guns as a fire output, yard by yard for clearance!" After the troops were united, Hu Guoshan began to give orders to gradually clear them.
A company of soldiers copied the rear road of the Japanese army, which made the Japanese captain very uncomfortable, but he did not have the slightest way, the strength in his hands changed from a brigade to a squadron, and the Chinese troops outside the village could take the position at the entrance of the village with just one more charge, and there was a well-equipped Chinese unit behind him.
"Boom Boom"
Grenades were constantly thrown into the little devil's fortifications, explosions sounded, and the little devils at the entrance of the village were no longer able to resist the attack of the Chinese army, and the remnants began to retreat into the village, while the Chinese army took the opportunity to rush to the position and annihilated most of the Japanese army.
After the little devils withdrew into the village, they realized how serious the situation was, and at this time, there were only a dozen courtyards in the Yaorengou in their hands that could be defended, and the Chinese army had cut off their rear roads.
"Quick, divide and surround each yard, and don't let a little devil go!" After Ma Wanzhong saw that the position at the entrance of the village had been taken, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then ordered the troops to start attacking the village.
The Japanese captain was very calm when he learned of the loss of the position at the entrance of the village, and did not seem to be worried about the arrival of death at all, at this time he sent a final telegram to his brigade commander, only four words, the whole army was broken.
Gunshots rang out one after another in the village, there were many soldiers who kept falling, the little devils were getting fewer and fewer, there were originally more than a dozen courtyards to hold onto, but as time went on, eight courtyards were still in their hands, and each courtyard had no connection, and the little devils knew that tonight was their end.
It is said that the puppet army that supported the Japanese army did not dare to be lazy at all under the urging of the Japanese telegram, and they had already arrived at the burning ditch an hour after the start of the battle, but seeing the fierce battle ahead, the commander of the puppet army did not just order to rest in place.
Then these hiding puppet soldiers were discovered by two soldiers of the third regiment, and then the two soldiers reported to Ma Wanzhong, and were urged to hurry all the way, and the exhausted puppet army had no combat effectiveness at all, and was surrounded and captured by a company of soldiers sent by Ma Wanzhong.
Just as the troops were attacking Yaorengou, the Japanese support troops from the south were less than ten kilometers away from Yaorengou.
"Bang Bang Bang"
The gunfire in the village is becoming more and more sparse, and the little devils have no way to fight back, so they can only rely on the yard to refuse, but the solidity of the yard of the villager's house is very problematic, and a grenade can blow a big hole in the courtyard wall made of stones, and under the siege of the soldiers, the courtyard wall is full of holes.
"Regiment commander, regiment commander, Japanese troops we found the enemy's headquarters in a courtyard, and our company commander asked if he was going to die or live!" A soldier ran up to Ma Wanzhong and shouted.
"Let's go, follow me to see, if we can capture the captain of a little devil alive, we will show our faces in this battle." Ma Wanzhong didn't expect that there would be a surprise in the end.
There were gunshots in other directions in the village, and there were less than 100 Japanese troops left, and more than 40 people gathered around the captain of the little devil, sticking to a relatively large courtyard, and the soldiers of a company did not take it down after attacking it twice, and the company commander decided to level the courtyard with explosives, but thinking that this was the headquarters of the Japanese army, the company commander asked for the opinion of their regiment commander.
"Regiment commander, the courtyard in front is the headquarters of the little devils!"
Ma Wanzhong poked his head out from a corner of the wall and looked at the courtyard in front of him, on the way to the courtyard, there were more than a dozen corpses of a group of soldiers lying down, and a few wounded soldiers lying on the ground**.
"Did you shout?" Ma Wanzhong asked.
"I've already shouted, but the little devil didn't react in the slightest, and I was about to give the order to blow up this yard with explosives." The company commander said.
"Fried! But first blow up the courtyard walls on both sides, and arrange a platoon of troops to attract firepower in the front! Ma Wanzhong looked at the wounded who were still ** underground, and didn't want to delay time, they had to eliminate the heavy firepower of the Japanese army in the courtyard as soon as possible.
As soon as the order was issued, the machine guns began to greet the Japanese troops in front one by one, and a platoon commander led the soldiers to launch a feint attack on the Japanese troops in front of them in a formation of three or three.
A squad of fighters with explosives bags made a roundabout move towards the two wings of the courtyard, quickly approaching the courtyard wall.
The main force of the little devil was attracted by the front, and he did not notice that the Chinese army was approaching in a roundabout way, and after a while, a squad of soldiers approached the courtyard wall.
"Boom, boom, boom" Several violent explosions blew up the real courtyard wall into ruins, and the Japanese troops in front of it were also blown up by the explosion.
"Rush!" With a shout from the company commander, the troops hidden on both flanks began to charge towards the courtyard, and in less than half a minute, the soldiers rushed into the courtyard and surrounded the remnants of the Japanese army in the middle, including the captain of the Japanese army.
Under the protection of the soldiers, Ma Wanzhong also entered the courtyard, in addition to the ruins after the explosion, there were dozens of Japanese corpses lying in the courtyard, and the company commander had arranged for his subordinates to start rescuing the wounded.
"No one can speak Japanese, can the little devil understand what Lao Tzu says?" Ma Wanzhong looked at the remaining little devils in front of him, and there were less than ten people.
The captain of the little devil obviously didn't understand what Ma Wanzhong said, and thought that Ma Wanzhong was provoking him, so he pulled out his command knife, broke away from the human wall of several little devils, and walked over to Ma Wanzhong.
