Chapter 22 Surrounded
Maeda saw that the security forces were approaching the village, but stopped taking action. He was filled with questions. The situation in this village was also strange. The security forces had already attacked the entrance of the village. So far, they had not even fired a single shot. What a show.
What spectrum?
He ordered the Japanese communications soldier next to him: "Let the mortar fire two rounds and try."
Maeda still felt that the Japs' lives were precious, so he divided a small team into three squads to serve as security army instructors and combat supervisors. They were assigned to the middle of the twenty or so platoons. The Japs brought six mortars.
The firepower is still quite strong.
The Japanese artilleryman held a 90mm mortar shell in both hands. He let go and the shell slid into the barrel. There was a harsh metal friction sound. A black guy rushed out of the muzzle, and a large plume of thick smoke came out from behind, with the light of fire.
.
The shells screamed and hit the village. The Japanese did not test fire, but were a little careful. The village was not that big. If the distance was not calculated well and the shot was too far, then they would just go through the village and go to their own side.
What?
First a flash of light erupted in the village, and a plume of smoke was seen, followed by a loud noise. The smoke column was blown by the wind and spread everywhere, and the whole village suddenly became blurred; followed by more
Screaming sounds were heard, and artillery shells continued to pound into the village. The artillery shells that landed on the tiled roofs stirred up a cloud of rubble, mixed with shrapnel, and flew in random directions.
, the cannonballs on the thatched roof blew up clumps of thatch strips and set the roof on fire.
It had just rained, so the surface of the thatched roof was still wet. After being ignited, more thick smoke came out, mixed with the gunpowder smoke, making it even harder to see the village clearly.
The ground outside the house shook again and again, mud splashed everywhere, and clouds of dust shot up inside the house. The tiles and thatch on the roof also trembled again and again with the explosion of the shells, and the house fell with crashes.
Hu Yi hated shelling. He hated it so much that he felt uncomfortable all over his body. His whole body felt itchy from being hit by shell explosions again and again. He began to move his fingers involuntarily, and even his head began to hurt slightly.
But every time a shelling hit, he would feel a sense of pleasure, his blood would boil with excitement, his heart would beat faster, and he would nest in the shell-proof hole. His head would begin to become congested, and his scalp would feel numb, as if it was about to explode.
In Dongxia Village on the plains, the people are not particularly poor. Most of the houses are single-family houses, mostly with adobe walls and thatched roofs. Such houses are suitable for arson, but they are not afraid of Japanese bombardment.
Hu Yi did not order to fight back, nor did Gao Yida.
Gao Yidao was cursing: It was a good idea for Hu Zhazui to build bomb holes not far away from the trenches. He was cursing because he was like a bastard in there and couldn't fight the Japanese face to face. He had no symptoms at all.
Comfortable.
Time was passing slowly, and this round of shelling had no effect. Maeda analyzed that the Eighth Route Army had been running all night, and they were refining their livestock. It was not bad, so he immediately ordered half of his troops to be deployed directly to crush the village.
Is it the 28th Route? If we keep firing with artillery and suppress with machine guns, a battalion and a half of the security forces will drown you with their spit.
The machine guns were on the periphery, preparing to suppress it, but not a single fire point was seen on the eighth route. How could this pressure be used?
The order was conveyed very quickly. Under the order of the Japanese Supervisory Team, two squads of troops were prepared in all directions. About 500 people gathered around the village in a high-spirited manner. The further they walked into the village, the more and more people became
They were so dense that after catching up with the security forces who were the first to leave the area, they were almost surrounded by people. If they held hands, they could form a circle around the village.
In this way, the machine gun is still suppressing it? It can't even shoot out of the area, and the company commander of the security army behind is so anxious that it turns around.
The sentries of the Ninth and Second Companies kept reporting the news to their company commanders. Gao Yidao asked: "Has Hu Zasui gone to the battlefield?"
"It wasn't there when I came here."
"Then why are you still hanging around? Go and do some reconnaissance to see when he goes up. Come and report immediately. We will follow him up. Even if this security force rushes in, hey, let's stab him with all our strength. How about we stab with all our strength, Ninth Company? We must fight with all our strength.
Thorny Fart is not the same."
The Japanese bombardment started again, flying over the heads of the security forces, landing in the village, and exploding again. Although the security forces looked timid, the village was not that big in the first place, and they were all masters licking blood from their swords, so they followed.
The bombardment made my blood boil.
The Japanese only fired five shells from each cannon this time, and the Japanese supervisor behind them began to order the infantry to attack across the board.
Seeing that the puppet troops are coming up, what else can be done? Let's fight.
Dogs that bark don't bite, dogs that don't bark bite.
Hu Yi got out of the artillery pit on the ground. The blood on his body was still hot. He knelt on the thatch on the ground and looked at the security forces coming from the south through the gap of firewood stuffed in the shooting hole.
Following Mancang, Xiao Hongying, Wu Shitou, and Tang Dagou were in the yard on the left. In the yard on the right across a road from the village, the mule yawned and walked behind the machine gun.
A big hole was drilled in the walls of the three yards. The road to the middle of the mule's yard was cut off. A deep ditch connected the two yards. The mule made it himself. It was basically a trench.
The little girl sniffed: "Big dog, take out your bag, let grandma take a look."
Tang Dagou's face changed greatly and he couldn't help but said: "Don't even think about it. I saved this in the morning. It's shameless. Stop making any decisions."
"No, you brought back two chickens. The dead mule agreed to give me half, so he should have given me one. But you only gave me half. You said, where is the other half?"
Tang Dagou hesitated and reluctantly groped for a long time from the bag, pulled out a chicken drumstick and handed it over: "That's it, do you want it?"
"Send it to the fox."
Tang Dagou had a dark look on his face.
He crookedly squeezed through the hole between the two courtyards.
Hu Yi had been looking at the security forces outside the village. The security forces did not attack after the shelling. It was a bit strange. If you don't attack, I won't fire.
Hu Yi turned around and glanced at Tang Dagou, who was chattering there. He did not take the chicken leg and said calmly: "Send it to the mule."
"Yes!"
The big dog was overjoyed, sending it here and there, wouldn't he just give it to me in the end?
He forgot that this was his remaining half.
He jumped into the traffic trench and ran to Luo Fugui's side.
Luo Fugui yawned and squinted: "Grandma, you came here to fuck me?"
"This, uh, isn't the battle going to start soon? I'm here to remind you to be careful not to hit the half-immortal."
"How do I know who the half-immortal is?"
Tang Dagou was now anxious: "Didn't I tell you that he had a bandage on his left hand?"
"I'm on the left, and I can only see my right hand. Why don't you go talk and change it to your right hand? Besides, the smoke is so thick now, who the hell can see clearly?"
