    Jin Batian continued: "We have suppressed them for the time being. The boss can use this time to train his troops and dig holes. As the saying goes, dig holes deeply, accumulate food widely, and slowly become king. There is no need to fight with them.  They got too close and formed an alliance of seven villages. Look at the way they eat. Are you going to give us food aid or not?"

    "That's right." The first master also believed it. Each of the six second masters brought two confidants. A total of eighteen people ate the same meal for forty or fifty people, which made Erlongzhai's accountant  I had a lot of complaints with Mrs. Yazhai, who was in charge of logistics - this kind of fine grains were not available in Erlong Village before, so why should I feed them so much good grain at once?  Of course, Yunzhonglong's Mrs. Yazhai was slapped twice again for her treason, and she was also scolded as a woman with long hair and short knowledge.

    As time goes by, the tunnels in Erlongzhai are also extending. Naturally, a village cannot be the main body of the tunnel. Although there are no Japanese plane bombings in the tunnel battles in the movie, the reality is that the Japanese can send planes to drop a few aerial bombs at any time.  , Aerial bombs can be big or small, but even small aerial bombs are much larger than Japanese artillery shells, let alone large ones, if there is a landslide, it will be a tragedy.

    Therefore, in Jin Batian's design, only dozens of tunnels were left in Erlong Village.  Money, food, weapons, ammunition, etc. are all stored in small quantities in batches - this way, even if one or two passages are blown down, it will not have any impact. They can just be dug up after the war.

    It¡¯s just that in July, the tunnel network directed by Jin Batian had not yet been fully completed, but news came from Tonghua that the Japanese were going to the countryside.  This team of Japanese soldiers did not hide the news. Hundreds of Japanese soldiers and puppet troops swept through several villages where Xia grain was resisting taxation in smoke and dust, and then rushed towards Erlong Village.

    "I'm not afraid of hundreds of Japs and some puppet army leaders, but it's said that the Japs who went to the countryside to raid this time brought two artillery squads - equipped with two Type 92 infantry cannons.  There are also so many Type 92 heavy machine guns. Looking at the situation, the firepower is completely one-sided.  Fortunately, after the boss knew that the Japanese heavy firepower was limited, he didn't take it so seriously.

    This time, the Japs mentioned in advance that the cause was a woman, the eldest lady of the Cheng family who Jin Batian had not found in the Cheng family. The eldest lady of the Cheng family, who was born as a concubine, had married a Japs officer in Tonghua two years ago.  Naturally, Jin Batian could not be found.

    Although Miss Cheng said she was a concubine and was betrothed to a young Japanese officer, she would be lying if she said she had no feelings for her family. After all, they were her family and relatives who had lived with her for more than ten years.  After hearing that the Cheng family's stockade was destroyed and the family members died, Miss Cheng cried and fainted several times, and then begged the husband of the Japanese officer to avenge her family, but the army is not a weapon used to avenge private revenge - although the domestic warlords  In the melee, everyone uses the army to avenge themselves every day, but the little devils manage the army better than the warlords.

    The Japanese officer Miss Cheng married was only a squad leader back then, and now he is just a junior lieutenant officer who has just been promoted to squadron leader.  How can a small lieutenant and squadron commander mobilize his troops to fight on his own? This is not the year of the Manchuria Incident (September 18th) - by the way, the year of the Manchuria Incident also gave countless middle- and low-level Japanese officers hope.  A year is a year in which subordinates can overcome superior forces, a year in which the base camp cannot command troops, and a year in which demons dance wildly.

    "In short, Miss Cheng's husband can only promise to avenge his father-in-law, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, and others. As for the time, that remains to be determined.  From the moment he learned about this matter, Miss Cheng's husband, Lieutenant Suzuki, paid close attention to it and collected information one by one about the Cheng family village, which is now Erlong village.

    It just so happens that during the summer grain collection this year, several villages not far from Erlong Village and belonging to the Six Village Alliance's sphere of influence either did not pay enough summer grain or did not pay it at all.  However, the collection of summer grain is not the focus of the Japs' work. The focus of work should be autumn grain.  If the summer grain is confiscated, it can also be harvested in the autumn. It belongs to the category of whether it can be suppressed or not.

    However, Lieutenant Suzuki was very active in reporting that he was going to collect grain from below. In his report, Lieutenant Suzuki reported that a certain village had hidden a large amount of white rice and flour, fine grains that could only be enjoyed by the Emperor's soldiers, and they ate and drank a lot every day.  By autumn, there were signs of eating all the food, which made the Japanese in Tonghua angry - because of the lack of food, the imperial army could not even eat fine grains such as rice and noodles. This village was really rebellious. If it was not wiped out, even the imperial army would be afraid.  The morale of the soldiers was affected.

    Hearing that there were hundreds of ragtag militants in this village, the top brass of the Tonghua Japs assigned a company of puppet troops to the Suzuki Squadron to cooperate in the raids, as well as the heavy firepower of a machine gun squad - two Type 92 infantry cannons and two  Type 92 heavy machine gun.  Although the condition of the nearby highway is extremely miserable, it still has the ability to pass the Type 92 infantry gun and Type 92 heavy machine gun.

    Since ancient times, there has been a saying that when soldiers come, they will cover up the water and the soil. Aren't they just a few hundred Japs? Recently, the big boss with strong soldiers and horses also wants to compete with these Japs who really have heavy firepower.Compete with each other - troops are always made by fighting, not training.  This recruit also trained for more than a month while digging holes. It was supposed to be time for him to work with the Japanese. Unfortunately, the tunnel network was not completed yet, and even if it could be used, only part of it could be used.

    But Jin Batian objected to using the tunnel network to fight the Japanese at this time: "Master, you have to think this way. Even if the Japanese are defeated at this time, it will be difficult to prevent the Japanese from destroying the farmland to vent their anger after the defeat. The seedlings in the fields have been destroyed.  This year's harvest has been ruined. Not to mention the income of Erlong Village will be reduced, what will the village's tenants eat in winter and spring? They have to rely on the village's relief. This is not good, not good."

    The leader also said a new word: "What do you mean, the instructor, when you encounter the enemy outside the country?"

    Before Jin Batian could reply, he said that your small village could be considered a country, and it was even more chaotic than Japan's Warring States Period. At this time, someone from outside reported: "The envoy from the Six Villages Alliance came to see the boss and said there is something urgent."

    Knowing that the Japs had first raided several villages within the Liuzhai Alliance's sphere of influence, the leader immediately said, "Please come in quickly."

    I have met this person before. He is the second in charge of the Six Village Alliance. After coming in, the second in charge said to Yun Zhonglong: "Master Yun, this time the Japanese sent troops to raid three villages in our Six Village Alliance territory.  , there is news that there are several villages and Guizhai that are also in the scope of this Japanese raid. Our Six Village Alliance is in the same spirit, both prosperous and destructive, and we have decided to drive away this group of devils. Mr. Yunda, the master  I also said that Erlong Village is going to fight the Japanese. This time our Six Village Alliance sends troops to fight the Japanese. I wonder how Erlong Village will respond? Are you willing to fight the Japanese with us? "

    Jin Batian sighed in his heart, he must have said too much.  But having said that, wasn¡¯t the Six Village Alliance really established by the descendants of the Five Mountains Sword Sect?  Even with Tongqi Lianzhi and all, you should know that the fate of the Five Mountains Sword Sect is not good.  Not a good sign.

    Of course, Yun Zhonglong couldn't sit back and be struck to death by lightning in the drought, so he immediately said: "Our Erlong Village will definitely send troops to fight the Japanese.

    Of course Yunzhonglong couldn't take out all his capital and pledge it to the Six Village Alliance, and said: "We are planning how to fight here. Since your department wants to fight the Japanese, I will ask the second boss to bring two grenades and two grenades.  There are machine guns and twenty quick rifles to support your alliance."

    "The great master is so righteous. I have thanked Master Yunda in this Liuzhai Alliance." The envoy was overjoyed. He didn't expect that Erlong Village would really send troops.  Although there are not many soldiers and horses, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are. This is also a matter of posture.  Furthermore, each village in the Six Village Alliance has one or two bottom-of-the-box light machine guns. The Six Village Alliance combined has eight light machine guns. Adding the two machine guns from Erlong Village, there are ten light machine guns and  The heavy firepower of the two grenade launchers.  This time, I was a little more sure of beating away the Japanese.

    Yun Zhonglong immediately sent someone to call the second master. He told the second master about the matter and asked the second master to order thirty people with dry food and follow him to join the Six Village Alliance to fight the Japanese.

    When he came out of the hall to order people, the second master said earnestly: "The second boss is not easy to do."

    The envoy was also a second-in-command. He was well aware of the difficulties of being the second-in-command, so he advised: "Brothers, each other, each other."

    After the two people went out, Jin Batian said to the leader: "Now it happens that the Six Village Alliance is in front. Now let's send weapons and ammunition to the people below and be prepared to wait and see what happens."

    The boss also has the same opinion. After all, if the Liuzhai Alliance wins, there will be no need for the Erlongzhai to take action. The same is true if the Japanese win but the losses are too large.  But there is no guarantee that all the members of the Liuzhai Alliance will be defeated by the Japanese. After all, the powerful leaders of the Liuzhai Alliance don't care. If this happens, Erlongzhai will have to take action. The leader said: "This is the best we can do.  ."

    Not even forty-eight hours had passed when I heard that the second boss was back.  It would be good for all the heads to go to the Juyi Hall quickly and inquire about the results of the battle.  Not everyone can go to the Juyi Hall. Someone counted people outside. The second boss took 30 people and brought back more than 40 people. But now half of the people don't have guns. The second boss didn't bring back the light machine gun.  .

    Several masters gathered around the second master who was drinking tea and asked: "Second master, tell me quickly, did the Six Village Alliance lose or win?"

    The second master drank the second cup of tea and thought about it for a while before saying: "It's really hard to say whether we will win or lose."

    This made everyone very anxious. Only then did the second master talk about the battle.  The Six Village Alliance also knew that fighting against the Japanese could not be fought forcefully, so they relied on local knowledge to find a good place and prepared to ambush the Japanese on the road.  According to the plan, we should let go of the vanguard of the Japs and attack the larger Japanese troops.  After all, the vanguard only had one class of Japanese soldiers and one class of soldiers.There is a platoon of puppet troops, and the fifty or so people still have the puppet troops as the main force. What is there to fight against? You must know that the Six Village Alliance has pulled out most of the troops, with more than a thousand people and more than 400 fast soldiers.  gun.

    But the problem is that the Six Village Alliance has never thought that the discipline of the troops in the village is incomparable to that of the regular army. When more than a thousand people are ambushed, there will always be some flaws.  The leading Japanese troops also felt something strange after entering the ambush circle. A Japanese soldier shouted a few words into a bush and fired a shot.  This shot coincidentally hit a member of the Six Village Alliance who was ambushing in the bushes. Naturally, this man cried out in pain when he was shot, but the ambush was also exposed.

    ??Everyone takes a look and thinks, since he¡¯s been exposed, let¡¯s fight him.  It is easy to determine the outcome of a battle involving more than a thousand people ambushing dozens of people. Except for a few clever Japanese and puppet soldiers who greased their soles and ran away at the beginning of the battle, the remaining more than 40 Japanese and puppet soldiers  They were all annihilated here.  Normally, killing more than 40 Japanese and puppet troops was a small victory, but this time the target was exposed.

    The main force of the Suzuki Squadron quickly pressed forward and defeated the more than a thousand soldiers of the Liuzhai Alliance, whose strength was twice that of theirs, to a pulp.  The second master said that he had resisted the Japanese attack for a while, but after the machine gun position was destroyed by the Japanese artillery, the second master also ran away. It was time, so he should take care of himself first.

    In the end, the second boss concluded: "In this battle, the Japanese and puppet troops suffered more than a hundred casualties, and the Six Village Alliance suffered more than 500 casualties and were captured and escaped. So it is really hard to say who lost and who won.  Ordinarily, it would be good for the guerrillas to reach this level. But after all, they still lost.

    In this battle, both of our two light machine guns at Erlongshan were blown up by the Japanese. It¡¯s a pity that the four machine gunners were all good.  Of the thirty people I took with me, I brought back twenty-five, one of whom was killed while shooting with the Japanese.  Those who were not lost or captured, but many people from the Six Village Alliance ran away on the other way and ran with us and refused to leave, so I took them back first - maybe because they saw that we had guns and cannons, they  All the guns were thrown away when he ran away.

    This time I led the troops to discredit Erlong Village and asked the boss to show off.  "

    "It's not your fault." The big boss said and asked: "I just want to ask you one thing, how many Japanese have you killed five brothers? Brothers can die, but they can't pay compensation. I will ask the brothers this time  Have you compensated?"

    The second boss said: "We have small artillery. The total number of Japanese and puppet soldiers must have been killed by more than ten or twenty people, and even more were injured. First boss, you know that I used to be a businessman, and I hate them the most."  It¡¯s a loss-making business, can I pay for it?¡±

    The boss nodded: "It's fine if you don't pay, it's fine if you don't pay. Tell the brothers, there will inevitably be casualties when fighting the Japanese, but when I fight the Japanese, I, Yun Zhonglong, will only make money and not lose. Where are the Japanese now?"

    The second in charge said: "It's strange. Normally, the enemy's casualties were not large, but they stopped there after the battle. I heard that they broke camp and slowly returned home yesterday."

    The focus of the Japanese's return is that the puppet troops, who were the best cannon fodder of the imperial army, suffered too many casualties.  This time, the puppet army sent a company to cooperate with the Suzuki Squadron's mopping up. In these two battles, the puppet army was at the front. After the battle, we saw that there were still half a company of the puppet army left with many wounded. During the war, the troops  One-third of the casualties can be used to declare that this unit has lost its combat effectiveness. The puppet troops who are now able to move can only reluctantly watch the prisoners and let the prisoners carry the wounded of the Japanese and puppet troops.

    "After losing this best cannon fodder, the Japanese are also timid. If they want to fight, they will have no cannon fodder. They will use their own people as cannon fodder - you going or me?"

    Because every unit did not want to be cannon fodder, even though Captain Suzuki still wanted to move forward until he captured Erlong Village to avenge his wife's relatives, he had to retreat first - at least to replace another puppet army unit.  .

    Everyone was naturally happy when they heard that the Japs had retreated. Speaking of which, Erlongzhai also participated in this battle. Although it was a pity that two light machine guns and five men were shot down, but hundreds of Japs really pressed forward and thought about it.  Maybe this casualty would make them retreat.

    Seeing everyone's expressions of joy, Jin Batian said: "The big casualties are from the puppet troops. The Japs suffered few casualties this time. The retreat is only temporary. If we can't protect them, they will come again in a few days. In my opinion. It's better to send out mobile artillery groups to chase the Japs."  beat."

    A mobile artillery crew is composed of four people. Simply put, it is a four-man combat team carrying grenades and artillery shells.

    Some leaders also thought it was inappropriate: "It would be too dangerous to only send out mobile artillery groups."

    Jin Batian said: "If you only fight once at night, the safety factor is still very high."

    Jin Batian¡¯s prestige in Erlong Village is growing day by day, and the head of the family is almost obeying his words now: "Instructor Jin is right, since you only fight once, there is no danger. The tiger still has time to nap, but this timeThis time, we need to give the Japanese a little more ruthlessness.  The devils must have a longer memory and know that the area near Erlong Village is not the place they should be.  This time I led the team myself.  "

    Jinba Tianxin said, if I lead the team, the Japs probably won¡¯t be able to go back, but now that the tunnel is not completed, it¡¯s not good to wipe out all the Japs, and it¡¯s not good for a squadron to make the Japs anxious. If the boss is willing to lead the team, just do it. Anyway, it will definitely make money.  Arrived.

    This time, the boss brought twelve mobile artillery groups, and together with the boss and his guards, there were a total of fifty people.  He chased straight towards the direction where the Japanese were retreating.

    The Suzuki Squadron had just experienced a great victory - with a force of 400, it easily defeated a force of more than a thousand, killed more than a hundred guerrillas, and captured more than a hundred.  The entire squadron was immersed in the joy of victory. This sweep and victory had brought back a lot of good things - including more than a hundred prisoners of war. Their fate would be to mine for the Japanese in a certain mine until they died.

    More importantly, the Liuzhai Alliance that was defeated was the largest resistance force in the region. Although the Liuzhai Alliance was not completely wiped out this time, it also severely damaged the strength of the Liuzhai Alliance - look at the guns thrown all over the ground.  Just know the ammunition.  In the future, the security of this area will begin to improve. This is all due to the Suzuki Squadron, and this incident will be recorded in the local county annals.

    The boss looked at the Japanese bonfire in the distance and the moonlight in the sky, and listened to the frogs and cicadas chirping in midsummer. He sighed with emotion: "If there was no war, what a wonderful place this would be."

    After lamenting the pastoral life, the boss said: "According to the plan, ten rounds of rapid artillery fire. Take action."

    Although the grenade has shortcomings of one kind or another, its advantages of light weight and fast rate of fire cannot be denied.  Because the structure of the Japanese grenade is very simple, it is even lighter than the 38 cap.  And relatively speaking, the grenade can fire explosive shells even if it is an artillery. The cost is much cheaper than those of infantry and mountain cannons, and it can be produced in large quantities.

    "Boom, boom" It only took thirty seconds after one hundred and twenty shells were fired from the grenade and landed near the Japanese camp - this is of course not the maximum rate of fire of the grenade, but an average of three seconds.  Each shot is now the maximum firing speed of the Erlongzhai gunner.  After the fight, the leader, who had no time to check the results of the battle, immediately ran away with his men. Fifty people were not enough to feed the puppet troops for more than 300 days, so they would be in trouble.  But these dozen grenades were too important to Erlong Village, so the boss insisted on leading his own team to fight the Japanese in a night artillery attack.  (To be continued.
