"Your Excellency Commander, Pingxian can't be lost no matter what! Although Pingxian is not an important strategic location, once lost, the impact is immeasurable! ”

Hidehiko Yagyu strongly asked for full support for Hei Prefecture. But the commander of the devil turned a deaf ear to Yagyu Hidehiko's suggestion.

The commander said to Liu Sheng: "Now is the perfect opportunity to eliminate Shao Fei and the Shuangfei Brigade. As long as we occupy their garrison and defend according to the favorable terrain of the mountains, Shao Fei will be a lost dog. Their rear is empty, and we are sending a part of our forces to sweep their base areas, and then it will not be too late to take back Pingxian. ”

Liu Sheng said excitedly: "Shao Fei is not so stupid!"

The commander pointed and said loudly: "He is already stupid! Hatred has made him lose his mind. Now Pingxian is in fierce fighting, the enemy has six companies of troops, equipped with heavy weapons, and the battle is very strong. Liu Shengjun, let me ask you, Shao Fei still has troops to defend the rear? ”

Yanagi was completely stunned, but he still felt that this battle was not so simple.

The commander picked up the phone, shook it, and ordered: "Implement the first set of battle plans." The troops were divided into two routes, one way on foot, bypassing the highway and sweeping the enemy's base area; All the way to Lexian with a squadron of cars to occupy the enemy station. ”

After the commander finished ordering, he hung up the phone and looked at Hidehiko Yanagi. And Yanagi stood straight, unable to say a word.

The Japanese soldiers attacked the base area in two directions. Along the way, two infantry squadrons attacked the villages in the base area; There were two infantry squadrons along the way, and they went to Lexian under the transportation of the automobile squadron, and then took the mountain road directly to the station of the Shuangfei Brigade.

Xu Pengfei arrived at the designated position at ten o'clock in the morning with the soldiers of the first and fifth companies. He once again emphasized the essentials of sparrow warfare: the goal should be small, and the action should be fast; Cooperate with each other, cover, retreat; So that the enemy can't hit and can't catch up.

After the explanation, Xu Pengfei first called two companies of soldiers to set up ambushes on both sides of the road ten miles in front of the village, so as to wait for work.

Near noon, the vanguard of the devils entered the ambush range. The fighters hid among the hillsides, woods, ridges, grass, waiting for the gunfire to launch the attack.

Where did the devils think that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at them, and they were in a hurry to slaughter the villages in the base area.

"Hit!" Xu Pengfei gave an order. Launch a fierce attack on the spearhead of the devil. At this time, gunfire rang out in the front, middle and back sections of the entire road, blocking the head and slashing the tail, giving the devil a head-on blow.

"Hidden! Take cover! ”

The devil soldiers were already in confusion and looked around. After hearing the order, they subconsciously lay on the ground and shot around, but they couldn't find any targets. There was only one corpse of a devil on the road, and the wounded devil soldier fell to the ground and kept wailing.

After a few moments, the scrambling on both sides of the road completely stopped. The devil commander immediately ordered the troops to launch a pursuit in small units.

When it was safe, the commander came to the middle of the road and watched his men lying on the ground one by one, and was furious. Feeling that he had been deceived by intelligence, he ordered: "The medic will carry the wounded soldier to the rear and open the area for rapid healing, and the third squad will be responsible for protection." Also, immediately telegraphed to the headquarters that we had been ambushed by two companies of the Eighth Route Army. ”

The Japanese troops dispersed in small formations. They worked in groups of five, covering each other, and launched a pursuit of the Eighth Route Army on various sides of the road.

Even if they are well-trained, accurate marksmanship, bayonet guns, and fierce firepower, it is useless to lose sight of the target. They were constantly being shot from the shadows, and when they realized it, the other party had already run away. In the process of pursuit, the devil troops stopped and looked around, and the whole person was in a state of panic.

The soldiers of the two companies sometimes converged together to inflict heavy damage on the devils, and sometimes scattered to shoot the enemy in the shadows. When the devil chases, the flank squad will cover the retreat of his comrades; When the devil stops, the warriors will run back and continue to attack. Within a radius of more than ten miles, it is like an invisible net, trapping these devils in the net.

When the sparrows are foraging and flying, they never flock together, most of them are one or two, three or five, more than a dozen, and they gather and disperse. They aim small, fly fast, and move flexibly. The so-called sparrow warfare is a guerrilla warfare method created after the method of foraging for sparrows.

After an hour of fighting, the Japanese squads suffered heavy losses and withdrew to the road. Coupled with the previous ambush, the devils of the two squadrons have lost more than half.

In desperation, the devil commander began to evacuate with the remaining troops. More than 100 people withdrew to a very open area to join up with the wounded soldiers, medics, and a squad from before, and formed a defensive position.

Xu Pengfei converged his troops and launched a pursuit, but because the other party was on an open ground, he stopped three hundred meters away from a distance and confronted the remaining devils.

The commander of the fifth company asked Xu Pengfei, "What should we do now?" ”

Xu Pengfei observed the surroundings and was a little helpless: "There is an open field ahead, and the devil's mortars and heavy machine guns will play a role, so we can't attack it." But they can't go, and if they retreat, they will be killed by us immediately. ”

The commander of the fifth company reminded: "Don't forget, we must rush back to Shimen Village before evening. ”

Xu Pengfei was in a bit of a dilemma, there was a big piece of fat in front of him, but he couldn't eat it now, and the best way was at night. However, the order was to rush back to Shimen Village by evening.

Xu Pengfei complained angrily: "It's all Shao Fei's fault, he took away all the heavy weapons in our company." If I had a few mortars, heavy machine guns, I would have attacked right now. ”

As soon as Xu Pengfei's words fell, the artillery fire in the direction of the devils on the opposite side rang out, and dozens of howitzers fell from the air, killing and injuring a large number of devils. Behind the devils, the gunshots wrinkled, and the dense rain of bullets shot at the devils' temporary positions one after another, and the devils' troops were in chaos in an instant.

The commander of the fifth company shouted: "What person!?" ”

Xu Pengfei was overjoyed and smiled: "My own people." Then he commanded loudly: "Hit!" ”

The fighters of the two companies shot wildly in the direction of the devil, and they fought randomly. Although it is impossible to lock on to the target at 300 meters, it is within the effective range. The troops of more than 100 devils were flanked from both sides and attacked by artillery fire, which was simply a catastrophe. After more than ten minutes of attack, there were not many devils left.

Xu Pengfei ordered loudly: "Blow the trumpet!" ”

"Dudu Dudu" The charge horn sounded.

"Kill! Kill! Kill" suddenly the sound of killing in the west shook the sky. The fighters of the two companies rushed out one after another and gave the devil the final blow.

At the same time, the troops from the east launched a charge. Under the combined attack of the troops of both sides, the battle was resolved in less than ten points.

Xu Pengfei only found out at this time that the troops on the opposite side were Yang Hongtao's sixth company.

Yang Hongtao excitedly ran to Xu Pengfei: "Company Commander Xu, my reinforcements are still in time, right?" ”

Xu Pengfei patted Yang Hongtao: "Timely, very timely." Otherwise, I don't know what to do with these devils. By the way, how did you get here? ”

Yang Hongtao replied: "Our sixth company set up an ambush on the highway, but there were no reinforcements for a long time. So they have come to reinforce you. ”

At this time, a soldier ran over and saluted Xu Pengfei: "Report to the company commander, we found a lot of devils and wounded soldiers." ”

Xu Pengfei thought for a moment and ordered: "Kill." ”

"Wait!" Yang Hongtao grabbed Xu Pengfei's sleeve and said, "Can't be killed, they are now prisoners." We would be violating the Geneva Conventions. ”

Xu Pengfei tore Yang Hongtao's hand away and said, "I don't know what bullshit conventions are, I only obey orders." The Double Fly Brigade left no prisoners. ”

Yang Hongtao felt uncomfortable, Xu Pengfei patted him on the shoulder again, and said: "Think about Nanjing, think about everything these brutes have done to our compatriots, maybe you will feel more comfortable." ”

Yang Hongtao said excitedly: "But we are not devils, we are not beasts!" ”

While the two were arguing, the warriors had already killed the devil's wounded soldiers. Yang Hongtao looked at this scene, the joy of victory was gone, and he always felt depressed in his heart, and there was nowhere to vent. He knew that Shao Fei had already inflicted his hatred on this army.
