The Japanese army's unique earthy yellow military uniform appeared far away, and Zhao Baokun and the dice showed a look of horror on their faces, especially Zhao Baokun, who had contact with the Japanese army, was even more trembling. The defeat by the Japanese army that day is still vivid, the Japanese army's powerful machine guns and artillery fire is a nightmare in the depths of Zhao Baokun's memory, before Tang Cheng put down the binoculars, Zhao Baokun was already about to turn around and run.

"Stop me, there are only a dozen Japanese soldiers to scare you like this, if you really meet more Japanese soldiers, I see if you just strangle yourself with your belt." Tang Cheng, who put down the binoculars, called Zhao Baokun and the dice coldly, there were only a dozen Japanese soldiers who appeared in the binoculars, looking like the size of an infantry squad, Tang Cheng didn't know if they would be just the outposts of the Japanese army, but Tang Cheng at this time was calm and terrifying.

"Dice, you go back to the village immediately to report the news, Zhao Baokun stays here with me, and see if I can find a chance to beat them." Tang Cheng's decision made Zhao Baokun and the dice happy and sad, the joy was naturally the dice who were ordered to go back to report the news, but Zhao Baokun's hands and feet were cold and his body was stiff at this time, if Tang Cheng hadn't been staring at him with his eyes, Zhao Baokun might have let out a shout and ran away. "Remember what I told you in Zouma Mountain? The second company has never deserted, never. ”

Zhao Baokun glanced at Tang Cheng carefully, his eyes slowly moved from Tang Cheng's face to Tang Cheng's right hand on his waist, Tang Cheng's right hand was already on the holster on his waist at this time, Zhao Baokun knew that if he turned around and ran away now, the bullet in the gun must be aimed at himself. Secretly swallowing and spitting, Zhao Baokun clenched the rifle in his hand and tried his best to stand up straight, although he was afraid to death, but in the face of the killing intent in Tang Cheng's eyes, Zhao Baokun had to force himself to be strong.

Half of the bullets on his body were left to Tang Cheng and Zhao Baokun, and the dice ran to Xia Jiawa in a hurry, looking at the dice that had gone away, and then looking back at Tang Cheng who was observing the enemy with a telescope, Zhao Baokun could only sigh in his heart that his luck was too bad. Tang Cheng was right, there were only 17 Japanese soldiers in the telescope, although Tang Cheng was young, he was not an impulsive person, and he knew that he couldn't fight against 17 Japanese soldiers, so he took Zhao Baokun and slowly retreated in the direction of Xia Jiawa.

After the victory of Wanjialing, a large number of wounded of the Nationalist troops in Jiangxi remained in the Kuomintang-controlled area to recuperate and recuperate, and after the Japanese army captured Huangshi, it put on a southward trend, and a large number of Nationalist stragglers and lightly wounded were ordered to harass the southbound Japanese troops along the way. In this environment, the Japanese troops who occupied and controlled the towns of Jinniu and Baoan immediately mobilized their forces to the north in an attempt to fully control the large area between Wuhan and Huangshi, and the group of Japanese soldiers that Tangcheng would encounter was a small force among them.

Jiro Hirota was the commander of this small unit, and he was sent by Squadron Leader Kobayashi Koichi from Baoan Town, and their main task was to move north along Baoan Town, reconnoitring and clearing out all anti-Japanese forces encountered along the way. When passing by the Nanxi River, Hirota Jiro divided his squad into three groups, and he personally led a squad of soldiers to cross the Nanxi River and march to Shangzhang, while the other two Japanese troops went one way to Jiangjiawan to the west of Shangzhang, and the other to Zhujiazhuang to the east of Shangzhang.

There were too many Chinese villages around the Nanxi River, and Hirota Jiro took the initiative to divide his troops in order to control the villages and areas north of Meizi Mountain and Huangmao Mountain in the shortest possible time. Jiro Hirota walked through more than a dozen villages along the way, but he did not even encounter a single so-called anti-Japanese armed force, and in the face of the bayonets of Jiro Hirota's soldiers, all the villages they passed along the way bowed their heads. "I really miss the days when I was on the battlefield, and now it's so lonely." Jiro Hirota sat under the tree and sighed, he didn't know that there was once a captain and company commander of the national army squatting on the tree behind him.

Like most Japanese officers, Jiro Hirota was a standard militarist, eager to kill, eager to prove his prowess and his family's loyalty to the Empire. But it backfired, he had made mistakes in the Yellowstone operation, but now he was transferred to the garrison, leaving the battlefield of the fighting and the overwhelming sound of guns, Hirota Jiro was uncomfortable, otherwise he would not rush to take the gun from the hands of the squadron leader to search for this mission.

"Let's go, let's have lunch in the village ahead." From the mouth of the guide accompanying the team, he learned that there was a village not far ahead, and the hungry Hirota Jiro ordered to turn to Xiajiawa in front. The Japanese soldier who was resting under the tree got up when he heard this, followed the guide who nodded and bowed and marched towards Xia Jiawa, looking at the man in black who nodded and bowed from a distance, and Tang Cheng's hateful teeth itched on the roof of the village.

"15 Japanese soldiers, one Cao Chang and one Shaozuo, and one traitor who led the way. One light machine gun, two grenadiers, one pistol, and the others were rifles. Tang Cheng slipped down from the roof and gathered the old northeast together. 11 people should fight against 17 Japanese soldiers, if it was the original second company, it may not matter, but now among the 11 of them, only three of them have really fought with the Japanese army, Zhao Baokun and a few of them were frightened when they heard that the Japanese soldiers were coming, and their legs trembled vigorously, not to mention against the Japanese army.

The brain-active Liu Shishi temporarily assumed the role of quartermaster, and when Tang Cheng was lying on the roof to observe the enemy's situation, Liu Shishi had already counted all their weapons and ammunition. "Company commander, we have a light machine gun, a grenadier canister, 10 rifles, 1,700 rounds of ammunition, 23 grenades, and four shell guns, but there are not many bullets for the pistols." The number of bullets Liu Shishi said refers to all the Arisaka rifle bullets on the 11 of them, which sounds like a lot, but the light machine guns in the old Northeast also use this kind of Arisaka rifle bullets, as long as the light machine guns in the old Northeast fire, no amount of bullets is enough.

Tang Cheng deliberately pretended not to see everyone's expressions, just turned around and paced in place with his hands behind his back, and after about 2 minutes, Tang Cheng raised his head and said, "Fight, but let's not fight against them, put them into the village first and then fight, just like in Lijiapu, use strong firepower to fight around them." Hearing that Tang Cheng said that he was going to fight with this group of Japanese soldiers, Liu Shishi ran into the house with Hou San in a hurry and took out all the weapons and ammunition wrapped in straw.

"Old Northeast, you take an ammunition hand from Zhao Baokun's family to ambush at the entrance of the village, stones, you and Hou San detour from the right flank of the village to the back of these Japanese soldiers to block their way, dice, you also take 2 people to the left flank of the village to the back of the Japanese soldiers, and the rest of the people follow me to stay in the village to intercept the Japanese army." Ignoring the frightened expressions of Village Chief Xia's family when they saw those rifles, Tang Cheng just cared about assigning tasks to Lao Dongbei and them.

On the surface, Tang Cheng's arrangements scattered the personnel, but in fact, he had to do it as a last resort to prevent these guys from escaping. There is no lack of blood in the bandits, Tang Cheng is afraid of their blind obedience, as long as they are separated, even if there are deserters, it will not affect all the bandits. "Village Chief Xia, I don't have time to explain to you more, you just need to remember that we are the national army and fight devils, and hide in the house with your family for a while and don't go out, the gun is not long." Tang Cheng's last advice, the frightened Xia Village Chief's family trembled, and hid in the house according to Tang Cheng's instructions, and did not dare to show their heads.

Liu Shishi and the others scattered according to Tang Cheng's arrangement, and when Lao Dongbei and Zhao Baokun rushed to the entrance of the village, Jiro Hirota and the others were already not far from the village, and they could see the expressions on the faces of the Japanese soldiers without binoculars. The people who worked hard saw the figure of the Japanese soldiers, who had long been hidden and disappeared, and Lao Dongbei kicked open the courtyard door of a family, and broke into the courtyard with Zhao Baokun and the ammunition man. "Don't be afraid, we are fighting devils, we are honestly hiding in the house and don't show our heads, and we will leave after beating devils." The big white teeth of the old northeast made the family nod their heads again and again.

Jiro Hirota did not directly order to enter the village, but stood on the barn at the entrance of the village and waited for a while, this silent village made Jiro Hirota's heart feel strange. After leaving Baoan Town, he met a lot of villages along the way, but none of them were as invisible as this Xia Jiawa, out of caution, Hirota Jiro first sent the guide to take two of his soldiers into the village to investigate.

Tang Cheng stood in the corner of the wall facing the entrance of the village, and the two bandits who followed him were behind him, and seeing that the Japanese soldiers at the entrance of the village did not all enter the village at once, Tang Cheng couldn't help but be secretly annoyed. Some shrunken guides approached the village with the two Japanese soldiers, and the first gate of the courtyard that was kicked open was the family that hid the old northeast, but in the blink of an eye, there were two screams in the courtyard, and the two Japanese soldiers who broke into the courtyard were pierced into blood gourds by the old northeast and Zhao Baokun with bayonets.

"Shoot, fire at the Japanese soldiers on the barn." Hearing the screams that sounded in the courtyard, Tang Cheng, who was squatting in the corner, knew that something was wrong, and immediately ordered the bandits who followed behind him to open fire from the wall. The bandits also used 38 rifles, and although they didn't have a good chance of firing, they managed to attract the attention of Jiro Hirota and others at a certain distance. "Fire" Lao Dongbei, who was holding a light machine gun, suddenly emerged from the courtyard wall, and did not give Jiro Hirota time to dodge at all, and directly hit a string of bullets.

The place where Hirota Jiro and the others stayed was the threshing field at the entrance of the village, and there was only one grinding disc and a stone mill on the threshing floor to provide cover for them, but Hirota Jiro and they still had 15 people, and the grinding disc and stone mill alone could not cover all of them at all. A burst of blood sprayed up, and two Japanese soldiers, including Jiro Hirota's subordinate Na Cao, lay down in a pool of blood.
