Chapter 108: A Strong Enemy Strikes

Huang Chengzhong was not the only one who was defeated by the Japanese army and fled into the wilderness, and it took only half a day for Tang Cheng and his party to re-embark on the road to collect more than 60 rout soldiers of the Dian army. With the increase in the rout of the Dian army, Tang Cheng collected relatively more information, and after carefully analyzing all the situations, Tang Cheng's brows were furrowed to kill flies. In Yangxin, the Japanese army occupied the county seat, Taogang, Fuchi, Huangqikou, Weiyuankou, Baisha, Futu Street, Yanbutou, Sanxi, Taipingtang, Yangxin Town, Xintanpu, Daqiaopu, Mugang, Fenglin and other market towns, as well as along the river and along the highway.

After the fall of Yangxin, the former Kuomintang Yangxin County Government retreated to Yanxia and Dajia Mountains, while in the vast countryside, it was controlled by the local armed forces in the past, and the entire Yangxin area has formed a complex situation in which many parties stand together and each dominates one side. Now that the Japanese army has captured Pai City, most of Fushui has been controlled by the Japanese army, if Tang Cheng wants to continue to go south, how to safely cross the Fushui River is the next thing Tang Cheng must consider.

Tang Cheng informed Lao Dongbei and the others of all the problems he faced, although Tang Cheng was in great need of manpower now, he didn't want to force others to follow him south. "Fairy, apart from going south, do we have any other way?" Old Northeast didn't care where he went, but he wouldn't be stupid enough to drill into the encirclement opened by the Japanese army, and now it seems that only going south is the safest.

"Otherwise, let's go along the Fuhe River to Tongshan County, I heard that many troops have gone to Tongshan." Huang Chengzhong had no idea, adhering to the principle of where there are more people, he led the team to move along the Fuhe River to Tongshan County. Squinted at Huang Chengzhong, Tang Cheng did not speak, he did not consider marching west along the Fu River, but going west to Tongshan County would not only bear the harassment and pursuit of the Japanese army along the road, but also the possibility of being forcibly absorbed by the troops of the Dian army, which Tang Cheng did not want to see.

"I still say the same thing, I don't force everyone to follow me south, let's rest here for one night, tomorrow dawn, I hope you make your own choice." Although the rout of the Dian army gathered along the road can solve the problem of Tang Cheng's lack of manpower, Tang Cheng does not want to be followed by a group of good-looking guys, rather than that, it is better to continue to go south with only those who sincerely follow him. Tang Cheng didn't tell Lao Dongbei or Liu Shishi about the worry in his heart, because he knew that Lao Dongbei and the others would definitely follow him.

Tang Cheng's place for them to rest tonight was provided by Huang Chengzhong, and for the three days before this, Huang Chengzhong and they had been staying in this village, although the village was not large, there were only a dozen families, but it was far away from the road, and it was indeed a suitable place to hide. After a brief dinner, Tang Cheng took the map and pondered the route to the south, I don't know if it was Tang Cheng's negligence or the old northeast's forgetfulness, they did not set up a sentry outside the village, and the whole village was completely undefended after nightfall.

Perhaps it was because the road was too smooth, the well-fed and well-fed Lao Dongbei and the others went to bed early, and Tang Cheng, who was pondering the route alone, was completely unaware that a Japanese army was chasing after him from Nanshan Village. Before dark, Hirakawa Ichiro had already rushed to the place where they were ambushed by Huang Chengzhong and his people in Tang City, although Tang Cheng cleaned the road when they left, but the traces left by the black gunpowder homemade explosives bag could not be dissipated.

"These damn Shina people have finally caught up with them." After receiving the reward of the former scout, Ichiro Hirakawa had a murderous look in his eyes. When the truck turned off the road, it left rut marks, and the shoulder scouts of the Hirakawa squad followed the rut marks to find the village where they lived in Tang Cheng, and before they knew it, Hirakawa Ichiro had already commanded his Japanese soldiers to complete the siege of the village. Hirakawa Ichiro got the information that showed that there were more than 20 of the routs in this group, but the rut marks could not be faked, and such deep rut marks showed that there were at least forty or fifty people on the truck.

Although Hirakawa Ichiro's men are the strength of a small team, he does not intend to fight Tangcheng and them face-to-face, since these branches of the rout dare to sneak attack the Meihongshan military station, Hirakawa Ichiro intends to return the favor with the other way. "Tell me to attack at 2 a.m., and I'm going to kill all of this group of routs here." Hirakawa Ichiro confidently gave the order, and according to the current time, his team had plenty of time to prepare.

The night shrouded the whole village, and the time passed minute by minute, and as the hands of the watch stayed firmly at 2 o'clock, dozens of black shadows emerged from the field outside the village and quickly advanced towards the village. The village of only a dozen families is not big, and the two trucks they drove from Tangcheng were the focus of the Pingchuan team, especially the trucks parked at the entrance of the village were still so conspicuous.

There were not enough houses in the village, so naturally more people slept in the carriages, and although it was December, everyone was huddled together and wrapped in Japanese military blankets, and the people sleeping in the carriages did not feel the cold. At 2 o'clock in the morning, the six scouts of the Hirakawa squad rushed to the front, slowly approaching the truck parked in the village, and the Japanese scouts who were only carrying bayonets gradually slowed down, listening to the snoring sound coming from the carriage, and the six scouts were divided into two teams and stood in the shadows with the truck stop.

The 30 or so routs of the Dian army sleeping in the carriage did not know that danger had befallen them, and the sharp bayonets picked up the knotted ropes that bound the tarpaulin, and several strong Japanese soldiers bit the bayonets and climbed into the carriage. Stretching out their hands, covering their mouths, and cutting each other's necks horizontally with bayonets, the carriage was soon filled with a strong smell of blood, not all the soldiers of the Yunnan Army sleeping in the carriage were so dead, and occasionally there were people who were awakened, but they were really not the opponents of the Japanese soldiers with sleepy eyes, just the stabbing or chopping of the bayonet, and the soldiers of the Yunnan Army who were awakened soon became unconscious corpses.

"Shaozuo, all 32 people on the truck have been wiped out, and now only the soldiers in the village are left, please give the order to attack." Two military officers who personally led the team stood in front of Hirakawa Ichiro in a deep voice carrying bloody bayonets. The first wave of attacks gave Hirakawa Ichiro and his men a boost of confidence, and knowing that 32 Shina soldiers had become corpses, Hirakawa Ichiro finally ordered an attack on the village.

Hirakawa Ichiro's soldiers had already surrounded the village, and after only a dozen or so families were divided according to their numbers, there were four or five Japanese soldiers guarding each house outside, and as long as the attack began, the people in the house would not have any chance of escaping. The first gunshot did not come from the muzzle of the soldiers of the Pingchuan squad, no one would have thought that the first shot was fired by the fat man who was taken in by Tang Cheng, the fat man who was not full at dinner got up in the middle of the night to find food, and just bumped into the Japanese soldiers who came in over the wall, and between the scuffle, the fat man pulled the trigger of the opponent's rifle.

The sudden sound of gunfire was more like a fuse that detonated the night sky, and as soon as the fat man relied on his big man to crush the Japanese soldier who had climbed over the wall, gunshots rang out everywhere in the village. "I can't get out, it's all little devils outside, and we're surrounded." The two people who rushed out of the house in a row fell into the courtyard, and Lao Dongbei, who was standing sideways by the window, shouted loudly, signaling the barefoot Liu Shishi to throw the backpack containing the grenade to him. "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" Lao Dongbei threw out several grenades in one breath, and with the cover of grenades, Lao Dongbei, who was only carrying a short gun, finally rushed out of the house and into the yard.

The coherent and dense gunfire of "Da Da" made Lao Dongbei's face change greatly, and they had no chance to speak of it when they were already at a disadvantage when they used machine guns in such a small village. "Blow up the wall and connect the two courtyards." Then Tang Cheng, who rushed out of the house, shouted in a low voice, and Lao Dongbei regained some composure, threw two grenades under the earthen wall connected to the courtyard next door, and followed Tang Cheng to hide behind the water tank in the courtyard.

"Boom" and "boom" two explosions, the earthen wall fell in response, and the three Japanese soldiers who had already attacked the courtyard next door were overturned to the ground by the explosion wave, and before the other party got up and stood up, the 20 rings in Tang Cheng's hand had already opened fire again and again. "Don't stop, keep blowing up the wall." After killing and taking three Japanese soldiers, Tang Cheng didn't care about looking at the situation in the house at all, he just turned around and shouted at Lao Dongbei and Li Shishi, and he squatted on the side of the courtyard gate.

Blow up the earthen wall of this courtyard, revealing an alley, the courtyard on the other side of the alley is lived by Tan Fei and Hou San, and a few of them, like Lao Dongbei, Hou San can't sleep with a machine gun now, Lao Northeast blasted the earthen wall connecting the yard one after another, and Hou San and others in the yard over there also heard the shouts here. "Blow up the earthen wall, move closer to me, and we'll rush out." The village was full of gunfire and dark red bullets, and Tang Cheng couldn't care about the others, so he could only shout at Hou San and the others he could see.

The Pingchuan squad has surrounded the village, but it does not mean that there are no loopholes at all, as the Dian army and Zhou Xian's soldiers in the village counterattacked, more and more Japanese soldiers began to gather around the place where fierce gunfire rang out, which gave Tang Cheng several opportunities for them to take advantage of. "Go in the direction of the village entrance, our truck is at the village entrance, if I am the commander of the Japanese army, I will definitely be the first to control the truck at the village entrance. Now that they had taken control of the truck and attacked the village, they would never have imagined that we would take it back. ”

Tang Cheng lowered his voice and when he analyzed these with Lao Northeast, he was not very confident, except for Hou San holding a light machine gun, most of the rest of them only had a short gun. Tang Cheng himself even wore only one shoe, and even the 20-round spare magazine was only brought out of three, and it was a bit whimsical that only these few people and such equipment would go to the village entrance by surprise for the Japanese army.
