The Japanese army also rushed to the second line of defense, but this time the peasant army did not retreat, but fought tenaciously, waiting for more and more people to rush up from the little devils, and the pressure increased. When the line of defense was about to be breached at any moment, Xiao Jiu finally roared: "Fire¡ª¡ª"
Then I saw some brothers from the Peasant Army grab a torch from the bomb shelter, and then threw it down vigorously. At the same time, some people threw down ceramic jars, which were filled with kerosene.
Speaking of these kerosene, Li Dahu bought all the kerosene from the nearby villages. It is estimated that the three villages will not be able to see the light at night in the next few months. The big households are rich and powerful, and they use the name of anti-Japanese to suppress them at every turn, so that the common people dare not sell them.
Torches, kerosene and firewood, what will happen when these things are put together? The ceramic pot will burst when dropped on the ground, and the kerosene will be splashed everywhere. The can was hit on the head, and was hit by the torch. As a result, he turned into a torch man, screaming and rushing around.
As the flames rose, the Japanese army's momentum was stagnated, and everyone saw the light. They could not distinguish between the enemy and us in the chaos, but now they finally saw clearly. The two sides collided quickly, and one was dying. , One has to fight desperately, but after all, there are too many peasants and soldiers, because after all, only a small number of Japanese troops rushed up.
With the light, you will know how to deal with the little devils. Brothers who can't join the battle group for a while will throw more kerosene cans and more torches to make the fire burn hotter, so that the little devils It is even more impossible to rush up.
The wind helped the fire, and it happened to be the north wind again. At the beginning, there were a few fires, and they burned ragingly in a short time.
Once the offensive from behind hesitated, it would be miserable for the hundred little devils rushing to the front. They were blocked head-on by enemies several times their own size, and they were on a downward slope. But they had no way out, the fire behind them was getting bigger and bigger, faintly trying to separate the enemy and us.
Continuously killing and fighting, all the people who rushed forward from the little devil were buried in the second line of defense. As the fire spread, the Japanese army had to stop behind the flames, feeling a little at a loss as they watched the flames rising.
The peasant army, who was almost breached by the Japanese army, finally had a chance to breathe. Looking at the little devil on the opposite side through the fire, he still couldn't calm down for a long time. The battle just now was too fierce, and he lost hundreds of dozens in a short period of time. This made the peasant army realize how cruel the real battlefield is. Xiao Jiu kept telling them, but they couldn't imagine the cruelty of war the more they imagined it.
After experiencing such a battle, although the peasant army lost nearly half, it has really grown up. All the people have become real fighters and will also be the backbone of this peasant army.
"Fire¡ª" Xiao Jiu didn't give them too much time to think about it, and gave the order to shoot the little devil first.
With the help of the fire, the little devil was blocked under the gentle slope, and the distance of tens of meters became a natural moat. As for the river on both sides, the Japanese army could not pass through it for the time being. The only road turned into a sea of ??fire. Tong Yan was helpless in front of the flame.
The Japanese soldiers rushed out of the flames and were burnt to death, and rushed into the river desperately. The screams made people terrified, and they couldn't help but feel fear. There was no order, and no one took a step forward. The wind helped the fire, and there was kerosene. Cheer up, the fire has already started, and it is afraid that it will not be extinguished in a short time, so it will not be able to attack.
The peasant army was shocked to react by Xiao Jiu's loud shout. At this time, the little devils did not dare to charge, so they beat the dog in the water quickly. Hundreds of guns fired one after another, and there was a burst of random guns at the Japanese army. With the light of the flames on, the figure of the little devil can be seen, so the accuracy of the head is much better.
There was no way to rush over, and this damned position faced the south. The Japanese army had no place to hide, so they could only stand up to the bullets. Many people fell down at once. It is estimated that the fire would not be extinguished for a while. The Japanese commander Gang Village helplessly ordered to retreat.
The Japanese army retreated, leaving behind corpses all over the place, and there was still a burnt smell. These corpses did not need to be cremated.
In this battle, the Japanese army lost nearly a thousand people, and the peasant army also lost four to five hundred people. There were still many wounded soldiers.
"Damn, the brothers suffered heavy casualties. More than 300 died, and there were more than 200 wounded soldiers. There are more than 40 of them. It is estimated that they will not make it through¡ª" Li Dahu limped with a bandage on his head. Walked over with a slouch, and sat down beside Xiao Jiu, his face was a little ugly.
With so many casualties, Li Dahu feels distressed. He paid for this army. At the beginning, he knew that Xiaojiu was from the secret service camp. Seeing that Xiaojiu and the villagers organized a revenge team, Li Dahu moved Don't worry, only the barrel of the gun is the most important thing in troubled times. Without a barrel, you can't straighten your back. What's more, Li Dahu also hates little devils, so he paid for the team.
On this team, Li Dahu put too much thought into it. He spent money, men and guns, Xiao Jiu was only responsible for training and killing devils, and Li Dahu took care of the rest of the military affairs. Not only did this battle suffer heavy casualties, but also They also fired up all the shells they had so hard to get, and the bullets were almost consumed, and they were about to run out of ammunition and food if they continued to shoot.
"If you don't really fight a war, you will never be a real soldier." Xiao Jiu was very calm, and didn't care about the corpses all over the place. Whether it was the little devil's or his brother's, he had seen too many life and death partings.
Liu Yang has a saying that Xiao Jiu has always taken for granted. He said that it is only natural for soldiers to die on the battlefield. Revenge for a comrade, those who go crazy over the death of their comrades on the battlefield will definitely die the fastest.
Li Dahu admitted that in the past, Xiao Jiu could fight a small squad with a single gun. He attacked the Japanese artillery towers several times and dared to fight against a squadron of Japanese soldiers. The devils are nothing more than that, but when they actually went to the battlefield, when the two armies confronted each other, they realized how elite the Japanese army was. Even in such an unfavorable situation, just relying on shooting alone caused casualties of hundreds of people .
What just made people feel terrified is that the Japanese army fought fiercely in hand-to-hand combat. The hundred or ten Japanese soldiers, facing an enemy several times their own, persisted for so long, causing heavy casualties to the peasant army. If they were one-on-one , the peasant army is definitely the loser, and it may not even be able to lose half of the Japanese army.
"Okay, Brother Li, but brothers, get into the bomb shelter as soon as possible. I guess the Japanese army may be about to bombard again." After exhaling, Xiao Jiu looked in the direction of the Japanese army, but he could not see the Japanese army.
Li Dahu did not dare to hesitate. The artillery fire of the Japanese army left a deep memory on Li Dahu. He hurriedly called his brothers to avoid the bomb crater to rest. Of course, he did not forget to add another firewood to keep the flame alive.
Xiao Jiu's guess was indeed right. Not long after, the Japanese artillery rang out, and countless shells were thrown at the position. Fortunately, they all hid early, so that they did not cause too many casualties.
The artillery fired for more than half an hour. Xiao Jiu estimated at least two bases before the artillery stopped. After calculation, the additional hundred and ten casualties were still only four hundred.
However, the Japanese army was afraid that the ammunition was starting to run out, so they didn't fire the guns, but waited for the flames to go out. The hateful thing is that God knows how much firewood the peasant army has prepared, and the flames are always kept alive. Of course, most of the time it is It is not extinguished, as long as the Japanese army rushes forward, the flames will flourish again.
The night passed like this, and the sound of guns and artillery in the south began to fade away. After fighting all night, it was almost dawn, and both sides took this opportunity to rest. It was a really fierce battle, which was related to the survival of the 102nd Division. After one night, there were only 4,000 people left from more than 6,000 people. If the fight continued, the entire army would be wiped out.
The Japanese army was besieged here, and the happiest thing was that Commander Luo, who commanded the battle, finally saw the dawn of annihilating the 102nd Division. In this way, the Japanese army broke through the blockade line of the Japanese army, and the danger in Hangzhou was relieved by half.
At this moment, Commander Luo also got the news that the one who blocked the 102nd Division turned out to be a unit of the Secret Service Battalion, and the number reported was the new reserve brigade of the Security Corps of the Special Service Battalion. I had never heard of this number before. The corps belongs to the Security Force, and Chief Luo doesn't worry about it. Anyway, the secret service battalion came up with this number. Chance.
"When the battle is over, I want to see the brothers in this team¡ª" Officer Luo, who also stayed up all night, looked in the direction of the Japanese army with a smile.
The Chief of Staff also smiled, annihilating the 102nd Division, and the Nineteenth Group Army has made a great contribution. When the time comes, the meritorious service will be rewarded, and the people in the headquarters will naturally have a share. How can they be unhappy.
"Sir, it's almost dawn, do you want to let the brothers have enough food, and launch an attack after dawn to completely wipe out the little devils." Commander Ruan of the 69th Army rushed forward excitedly, wanting to take over the first echelon In this position, no matter who plays, most of the credit will fall on him.
But someone is more straightforward than him. Chief Zhou of the Seventy-fifth Army directly pushed Officer Ruan aside, and smiled: "Mr. Luo, the Sixty-sixth Army took the lead yesterday, and the Sixty-ninth Army took the lead last night." , now it¡¯s our Seventy-Fifth Army¡¯s turn.¡± (Remember this site website: www.hlnovel.com)?Hey smiled: "Mr. Luo, the Sixty-sixth Army took the lead yesterday, and the Sixty-ninth Army took the lead last night.
