Hu Yi had a script in mind for this battle: the three platoons would face the enemy, and the shameless mules would definitely start fighting from a distance; the Japanese pretended to be blocked in front and left the enemy behind, and sent a squad to secretly move south to encircle them; Ma Liang's platoon would ambush outside the south of the village, completely wipe out the Japanese encirclement squad, and then the entire company would retreat.
Tian Sanqi's second platoon was supposed to be placed behind the third platoon, but Hu Yi often walked by the river, and they were afraid of accidents. The north was not suitable for flanking and detours, but they had to defend against it. If the Japanese really flanked from the north, the script would be basically the same, except that Tian Sanqi's second platoon would severely damage the Japanese flanking team, and then the entire company would retreat.
There is also a possibility with the lowest probability, that the Japanese will outflank the village from the north and south. With the Japanese's arrogance, it is not impossible for them to do such a thing. Then the 9th Company will win the prize. They will completely wipe out an outflanking squad in the south and severely damage an outflanking squad in the north, and then the whole company will defeat the remaining Japanese troops as long as there is enough time. Therefore, the first and second rows were placed outside the village by Hu Yi, and they did not form a group. This is a flexible use of the defensive trap.
The script is so detailed, I never expected that the ten or so bastards in the third platoon are not good actors at all. They beat the Japanese in a panic and covered them with shit. Even the grenade launchers were taken away by the third platoon. So the Japanese simply stopped being actors and turned into the Avengers. They exploded and used their ultimate moves on the spot. The result...
There was a lot of black smoke at the west end of the village. Grenades were exploding continuously, and the dust and dirt were all raised into the sky, forming a small area of smoke that covered the sky. The walls were shaking and falling soil, the houses were shaking and falling tiles, and gravel was bouncing on the ground. Two figures rushed out of the smoke in panic, and ran towards the east end of the village, one holding a grenade launcher and the other with two strings of grenades on his back; then several figures rushed out of the smoke in a panic, one holding a machine gun and striding like a bear, cursing, and the other carrying a Type 44 carbine on his back, his thin legs swung like a wheel, and behind him a figure staggered and fell and then jumped up, followed by another person rushing out of the smoke and rushing into the alley.
Hu Yi's empty rifle was slung over his back, and he was backing up in the smoke with his M1932 and firing blindly at a corner of the wall. Wang Xiaosan, who was a few steps away, emptied his machine gun into the black smoke on the other side and immediately turned around and ran away, shouting: "Come over from the right!" Hearing the sound, Tang Dagou climbed over the wall behind him in panic: "Fuck..." He fell over the wall. Hu Yi had to turn the muzzle of his gun to the right and fired at the black smoke alley until the magazine was emptied in one breath. Then he followed Wang Xiaosan and rushed east into the yard. The Japanese figures immediately flashed in the smoke, bayonets swung, grenades rolled, and another cloud of dust exploded. The Japanese machine gunner holding the Type 99 rifle then leaned out of the corner and started firing wildly at the black smoke alley.
Faced with the Japanese's ultimate move, the three rows collapsed and the only thing left was a chaotic escape.
The Japanese won! The attack was successful! The tactical goal was achieved! The target position was occupied! The Japanese squad leader, covered in shit, held his saber and had dirt all over his face, and he seemed to be unable to feel the joy of victory! The frontal assault team was all dead, and relying on the wide width of the charge, the left and right wings rushed in. Up to now, not counting those lying down, there are more than 20 standing, so... Although they are still chasing those Eighth Route Army soldiers all over the village, in fact, this Japanese squad has almost collapsed, and is hanging on purely by hatred!
The battle was different from what Hu Yi had imagined, and also different from what the Japanese vanguard captain had thought. He thought that as long as there was a board charge, they would definitely turn around and run, but they actually tried to block it; he thought that there were only a few of the Eighth Route Army, but there were more than ten; he thought the only trouble was the Czech light machine gun, but there were all kinds of machine guns, and there were so many grenades, and they were thrown with disgusting accuracy; the Japanese captain now regretted that he should have played the script honestly, pinning down the enemy from the front, outflanking from the flank, and maybe he could have caught them and killed them. Of course, he had no idea that if that was the case, the result would be better than this, but he would still be angry to death because he still didn't know the enemy situation.
At this time, Ma Liang knew the situation in the village, but when he heard the sudden fierceness of the battle, he knew that something must have changed, so he decided not to ambush anymore and led the first platoon directly to the village; Tian Sanqi was charging, so he did not wait any longer. The company commander gave the second platoon an order that allowed them to retreat but not advance, but did not include lateral restrictions, which meant that he could support the third platoon, so he led the second platoon to give up hiding and also ran to the village.
The Japanese vanguard squad was about to be destroyed in Xinghua Village without knowing it. Tian Sanqi's eyes turned green. He felt that the second platoon would become a thunderous blow and use grenades to drown the Japanese alive in Xinghua Village, but... Suddenly, a burst of machine gun fire came from the west of Xinghua Village. The bullet broke the wind, whistling horizontally, cutting off a line of grass tips in front of him and slowly falling down.
"masking!"
The Japanese army's main force arrived, and the sound of gunfire accelerated their march. The vanguard had already advanced to the firing range of Xinghua Village, and the second platoon, which was just approaching Xinghua Village, immediately opened fire with machine guns.
Seeing the increasingly wide front line of black soldiers, Tian Sanqi was sad, really sad, because of regret and unwillingness. He almost grasped the hand of victory, but had to let go of the feeling... It was sour and slightly bitter, causing him to bite his lip. The bayonet on the muzzle of the gun was already sharp, brighter than the devil's!
…
At noon, the sun was shining brightly. In the glittering mountains, a team of nearly a hundred people was winding around. They were the Ninth Company, breathing heavily.
Hu Yi stepped away from the team, turned around, and waited for a tired soldier to approach him and asked, "Are you free?"
"We got rid of them. The Japs are not chasing us anymore."
So Hu Yi raised his hand: "Rest where you are! Let's eat!" The whole team immediately fell into a line.
Luo Fugui claimed that several people in the third platoon were injured, and the camp was full of wounded soldiers. Yi Yi'er's arm was cut by a bullet and was bandaged by He Gensheng; Wang Xiaosan's butt was embedded with a piece of grenade fragment that was not deeply embedded in the flesh, and was pulled out by He Gensheng; Tang Dagou twisted his waist while climbing over the wall, and wanted He Gensheng to rub it for him but got no response; Xiao Hongying hit the wall, and his nose bleed has only stopped now; Wu Shitou still can't hear what others are saying, he picked up a grenade and threw it back, but it exploded at close range just over the wall, he saved his life, and also saved the life of Wang Baoku who was panicked on the spot, and the scratches on the rest of the people are not worth remembering.
"Hey, what are you doing? Three-command, didn't you hear me calling you? Come over here and rub my waist!"
Wang Baoku, who was in a trance, was awakened by Tang Dagou's gradually increasing voice. Reluctant but not refusing, he came to Tang Dagou who was lying on the grass, rolled up his sleeves and started to fight. At the same time, He Gensheng in the distance subconsciously said, "He is a medical soldier... He is so good at fighting."
Tang Dagou snorted, "What the hell can he do? He was so close, and he didn't even move his nest. He fired so many guns, did you see him hit anyone? He's a loser who's looking for death!"
Wang Baoku couldn't help but stop and be surprised. In that situation, how could this guy called Big Dog still notice whether others hit the enemy or not? Then his hands were indeed shaking. The enemy rushed closer and closer. Facing the cold light of the bayonet, he just couldn't move. This was the first time he faced the enemy at such a close distance. His heartbeat was still abnormal until now. He was afraid of being ashamed when he mentioned himself, so he changed his question and asked, "Who hit the most enemy at that time?"
"Are you really blind or are you just pretending to be blind?" Tang Dagou turned his head and rolled his eyes: "Do I even need to ask? Of course it's the brainless guy who saved your life. He threw a grenade directly at the enemy's face. This guy is not a human being!"
On the other side, the three platoon leaders and the company commander were together. Luo Fugui was listless because he had immediate worries. He knew that Boss Hu would continue to fight. What was there to be happy about? Tian Sanqi was also in a bad mood. He was still unwilling to accept the victory that had passed him by. He did not think that this was already a lucky victory, at least not a victory for his second platoon.
Only Ma Liang was in a relatively normal condition, but he was the most tired one, with insufficient sleep and physical strength. He forced himself to listen to Hu Yi's arrangements for the next step.
Hu Yi knelt on one knee beside a piece of hard soil, holding a branch and drawing a line on the soil: "This is Hunshui River." He drew a small circle next to the line: "This is Dabei Village. The Japanese will not stop in Dabei Village because of the lack of water, so he must be stationed on the river bank. It doesn't matter where he is stationed. What we have to do is to bypass Nantan in advance and hide on the south bank of Hunshui River, waiting to kill his baggage!"
"The Japanese won't get so close to the river bank, right?" Tian Sanqi asked. With the muddy river between them, as long as the Japanese camp was some distance away from the river bank, they would not be able to hit anything.
Hu Yi tapped the line with a branch. "Of course the Japanese won't get that close to the river bank, but the baggage soldiers are carrying mules and horses, so they have to lead the animals to the river to drink water. This is the opportunity and the time. We will concentrate fire to kill all the animals, and then deal with the baggage soldiers. Kill as many as you can, and retreat directly when the magazine is empty."
"Oh? Can feelings be fought like this?" Luo Fugui finally regained his spirit, and his bear eyes began to snap unscrupulously again. He was not opposed to the job of running away in one swoop.
Ma Liang, who was half lying on the grass nest with his legs crossed, spat out the grass branch he was holding and turned to Luo Fugui: "Mule, I was really scared in the past. This morning, your third platoon did all the work of our entire company. You are the main force of our ninth company!"
"Really? I'll tell you..." Luo Fugui started to speak proudly, but stopped mid-sentence, his expression suddenly turned mournful: "What he did... I had no choice! It was a coincidence! It was absolutely a coincidence! How could I know that the Japs were insane! Besides, didn't you see how badly we were chased by the Japs? It was thanks to Boss Hu who was in command and covering our retreat!"
"What a coincidence? I heard that it's because you arranged it properly, right?"
"I don't even have a position, what can I do to set up a position... This is because I burned a lot of paper and worshipped the ghosts, and I accumulated good karma!"
For some reason, Tian Sanqi, who was sitting cross-legged beside him, suddenly felt relieved and felt much better.
…
As expected, the two squadrons of Japanese troops stopped near the river bank south of Dabeizhuang. The Japanese major also needed to consider the next direction. The two captured letters were in the major's hands, and he faced a choice.
Although Dabeizhuang had become a ruin, a patrol team was still sent here to conduct a symbolic search. A dozen Japanese soldiers with bayonets in their hands walked casually among the smoky ruins, stepping on the scorched earth and leaving clear footprints.
The Japanese soldier walking in front suddenly stopped, and the ones behind immediately stopped and raised their guns. There was no enemy ahead, but a huge and eye-catching white sheep's head pattern painted on a blackened wall, which was very dazzling...
