Chapter 460 Autumn Harvest and Winter Storage 18
The three women had to keep smiling during the day, and burst into tears at night. In this situation of being naked and under strict supervision, they did not even have the possibility of seeking death.
On the evening of the fifth day, the Sixth Squadron of the Second Brigade of the Ninth Detachment quietly approached this small village under the leadership of squadron leader Shen Zengshun. Shen Zengshun led the troops out this time to implement the reinforcement of the New Fifth Army issued by the detachment headquarters. came from the order.
The Ninth Detachment came to the northern Henan area. Their main operations have been carried out within their own defense area. Several of their larger battles were defensive operations. Such proactive attacks were only carried out when the railway sabotage team attacked. Happens repeatedly.
???????An army has a very significant characteristic in fighting, that is, it is easy to fight with a favorable wind, but it will be defeated if it fights with a headwind. Therefore, maintaining the morale of the soldiers is particularly important for the commander of an army. In order to ensure victory in the first battle and boost morale, Li Qinglin ordered that the troops going into battle must undergo strict reconnaissance before opening fire.
There are Japanese troops stationed in Zhongguo Village. This news has been known by the reconnaissance team for a long time. The leader of the reconnaissance team in charge of this area of ??Xiashangou is Gan Yuanbin.
Gan Yuanbin and two investigators arrived at Zhongguo Village at around 4 p.m. On a small highland near the village, Gan Yuanbin in plain clothes held a telescope and carefully observed this small village.
Not long after, Gan Yuanbin discovered that there were puppet troops standing guard in a hidden place at the entrance of the village. There were Japanese puppet troops coming in and out of several houses in the middle of the village. The enemy's activities were not active at that time. Although Gan Yuanbin knew that there were enemies in the village, the specific number of enemies at that time was unknown. Not sure.
Since the enemy did not come out, Gan Yuanbin decided to wait slowly. When it was lunch time, the enemy would definitely light a fire to cook. At that time, just by counting the number of chimneys emitting smoke, he could roughly judge how many enemies there were.
In the evening, smoke began to come out of chimneys in the village. Gan Yuanbin counted four chimneys with smoke coming out. Because he had learned that more than a dozen villagers had been kidnapped into the village, Gan Yuanbin thought that the other three chimneys should be Japanese and puppet soldiers cooking. Judging from this, there should be two or three platoons of enemies in the village.
Now that the enemy has not noticed that the ninth detachment is approaching, Gan Yuanbin called a scout and asked him to bring the situation he detected to the squadron leader Shen Zengshun behind.
After receiving the information, Shen Zengshun thought about it in his mind. According to the practice of the Ninth Detachment and the actual combat effectiveness of both the enemy and ourselves, if our own strength is not more than three times the opponent's strength, the Ninth Detachment will never attack first. Shen Zengshun immediately asked the messenger to report to the captain in the rear, and he led his men to approach Zhongguo Village.
Shen Zengshun's team was actually not far behind the reconnaissance team. They soon came to the small highland where Gan Yuanbin was. Under Gan Yuanbin's guidance, Shen Zengshun also took a telescope to carefully observe the enemy's situation.
The sky is getting dark, and dinner in Zhongguo Village seems to have been prepared. Oil lamps have begun to be lit in several houses. What is strange is that only two courtyards have torches for lighting, and there are also some people in those two courtyards. In and out, other courtyards were quiet and deserted.
Shen Zengshun, who has rich combat experience, already knows that there are not as many enemies in the village as Gan Yuanbin said. Shen Zengshun believes that there are only two platoons of troops in the village at most.
The Sixth Squadron is now basically full, with a total number of more than 100 people. If calculated based on the number of people, it is not risky to launch an attack at this time. At that time, we only knew the approximate number of enemies, whether they had built fortifications, and the specific location of the fortifications. These conditions were not yet fully understood, so Shen Zengshun decided to observe them first.
While Shen Zengshun was patiently observing, there was a sudden commotion in Zhongguo Village. A naked woman suddenly rushed out of the torch-lit courtyard in the middle of the village. Behind the woman, a naked Japanese soldier was chasing her. , the Japanese soldier covered his bloody ears and screamed something.
There were two puppet soldiers standing guard at the door of the courtyard. The woman rushed to the door and was stopped. Hear this shouting. Two more Japanese soldiers rushed out of the room. They forced the woman to a corner of the yard with bayonets in hand, and finally tied the naked woman to a pillar in the yard with ropes.
At this time, a Japanese soldier came to the door of the yard. He shouted something to the puppet soldiers. One of the puppet soldiers immediately put his gun on his back and ran to another yard; the other Japanese soldier in the yard took out his backpack and took it out. gauze and medicine, and began to bandage the wound of the Japanese soldier who was covering his ears.
After a while, several puppet soldiers escorted several civilians to this courtyard. In front of this group of Chinese people, JapanThe soldier began to whip the tied woman. The Japanese were obviously extremely vicious, and blood marks soon appeared on the woman's body. The woman, who couldn't bear the pain, began to cry for help, but the vicious Japanese soldier didn't stop, and he beat her harder and harder.
The man who was being escorted in obviously couldn't suppress his anger. He rushed past the puppet soldiers in custody and rushed towards the assailants. Before the man could get close to the Japanese, a sharp bayonet was thrust at him. The man who rushed towards him was unable to dodge and was stabbed in the chest by the bayonet. He fell in a pool of blood.
The Japanese soldier who stabbed the man down was not satisfied. He raised the 38 cap and stabbed the woman tied to the pillar with his bayonet!
The Japanese soldiers are already red-eyed, and it will be difficult for the Chinese in the yard to escape the fate of being massacred! Shen Zengshun couldn't stand it anymore. He pulled out his pistol and shouted to the team behind him with red eyes: "Brothers, the devils are killing our brothers and sisters. Can we still sit back and watch?"
"No!" the soldiers shouted in unison.
"Brothers, kill! Kill the Japanese and avenge the fellow villagers!" Shen Zengshun shouted, and he was the first to rush out, brandishing a pistol.
Under the leadership of Shen Zengshun, the indignant Chinese soldiers rushed towards the Japanese and puppet troops in Zhongguo Village without any firepower preparation.
"Bang!" A gunshot broke the silence. It turned out that the puppet soldiers on alert had fired a warning shot. Immediately afterwards, the puppet soldiers in the village shouted wildly: "The *** is coming, the *** is coming!"
Watanabe had just bandaged his men when the sudden sound of gunfire made him jump. He picked up his command knife and shouted wildly: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The other two Japanese soldiers also used the 38 Gai to intimidate the puppet troops. Start arming.
Under the leadership of Shen Zengshun, all members of the Sixth Squadron went into battle. They rushed towards Zhongguo Village with guns in hand and their backs bent.
The Japanese and puppet troops began to shoot, and the attacking Japanese troops also began to fire back. Although the attack was launched in an urgent moment, the well-trained officers and soldiers of the Sixth Squadron still maintained a relatively neat formation. Some soldiers attacked from the front, and some soldiers fired at the back to cover. The Sixth Squadron, which had an absolute advantage in numbers, soon They quickly entered the village.
No wonder Watanabe and the others could not withstand the attack of the Sixth Squadron. In Zhongguo Village, Watanabe had only two Japanese soldiers and a platoon of puppet soldiers. Their most powerful firepower was the Czech light machine gun of the puppet army.
Before starting the attack, Shen Zengshun was a little worried about the disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves. Now that the war officially started, he discovered that the number of enemies was not large and their firepower was also very poor. Shen Zengshun's worried heart was finally relieved.
All seven or eight Czech guns of the Sixth Squadron opened fire, raining bullets at the Japanese and puppet troops who were defending against the house walls. The firepower of the Japanese and puppet troops was completely suppressed.
The enemy's counterattack was weak, and the morale of the Sixth Squadron immediately soared. The soldiers shouted, ran, and shot. They took turns to cover and rushed past the place where they had been hiding, regardless of their own safety.
Watanabe was very calm at this time. From the sound of gunfire, he had already judged that the opponent had the upper hand. The soldiers on his side had begun to panic. Watanabe believed that even if he persisted in resisting, he would not be able to escape the fate of being annihilated.
Watanabe, who was extremely clear-headed, finally gave an order: "Retreat!"
The Imperial Alliance Army had actually been prepared to escape long ago, and they were also the best at escaping. As soon as Watanabe's retreat order was given, these puppet soldiers wearing Imperial uniforms and five-color republican cap badges ran away. Some people wanted to Run faster and even throw away the gun in your hand. As a result, Watanabe and his two soldiers turned out to be the last ones in the team.
The Japanese and puppet troops fled in panic in front. The officers and soldiers of the Sixth Squadron did not expect that they would be able to drive away the Japanese and puppet troops with a single charge. The officers and soldiers' military morale was greatly boosted, and their pursuit speed became faster and faster. Some officers and soldiers even shouted "catch" while chasing. Live! Catch the alive!"
The Japanese soldiers were different from the Imperial Alliance Army. The two Japanese soldiers under Watanabe did not just run away. During the escape process, they stopped from time to time and turned around to shoot at the pursuers.
"Eight hooks!", "Eight hooks!", some of the pursuers were injured and fell to the ground.
Seeing that his soldiers suffered casualties from time to time, Shen Zengshun was furious. He shouted to the machine gunner: "Hit, why are you still standing there, kill every one."
At this time, if a living Japanese prisoner can be captured, the Military Commission will issue a large bonus. The machine gunners of the Sixth Squadron thought that they really wanted to capture alive, so their firepower was deliberately reduced a lot during this period. Now that the squadron leader has ordered these Japanese soldiers to be killed, the machine gunners are in high spirits. These machine gunners aim steadily and then shoot carefully. The Czech bullets are like fire whips and begin to lash out at the fleeing Japanese and puppet soldiers. them.
Watanabe was running desperately and experienced the Battle of Taierzhuang.??Watanabe had a very direct impression of the Chinese troops. He knew that the crazy Chinese soldiers were the most terrifying!
"Plop!" A soldier on the left side of Watanabe was hit by a bullet and fell to the ground!
