Chapter 1225 Chapter 1234, I also played fire coverage

The kid's second attack was beaten back, and then there was another half-hour of waiting. During this period, the kid didn't attack, as if he was waiting for something.

Sure enough, at 10 o'clock, another group of Japanese troops divided into two groups came over from the west, and the strength of the small Japanese army reached more than 1,500. This was the number after eliminating some of the troops.

"Takagi-san, how is the situation now?" The new Japanese captain, surnamed Xiaoquan, asked Takagi.

"In the village, there are at least 600 to 700 Eighth Route Army soldiers inside, as well as heavy weapons! The body of the regiment leader was dragged into the village by the Eighth Route Army. I am afraid that the Eighth Route Army has already reported the news to their superiors. Half an hour ago, a telegram was sent out in the village,

I just don’t know if the Eighth Route Army will mobilize troops to reinforce them?" Takagi said.

"Baga... I found that the Eighth Route Army is getting more and more difficult to fight, and some of the Eighth Route Army's weapons are better than ours. They use semi-automatic rifles. But, I haven't seen the semi-automatic rifle of the Eighth Route Army yet.

Looks like it. Judging from the battlefield, you launched an attack on the village. What was the effect?" Xiao Quan asked.

"The effect is very bad! We did not carry mountain cannons and could not break through the fortifications of the Eighth Route Army. Moreover, the Eighth Route Army's marksmanship is very accurate and the grenades are very powerful! Xiaoquan Sang, the next attack depends on you!"

As an officer who fought with the regiment commander, Takagi was actually responsible for the fact that Sakamoto was killed. Therefore, giving up the command was his best choice. In fact, Takagi also had his own calculations, that is, he already understood what was happening in the village.

The Eighth Route Army is not easy to mess with. If you give up command rights, you don't have to bear the main responsibility for offensive strength.

"Xinxi, then you can rest for now! I think these Eight Route Army soldiers will be wiped out sooner or later! This time, I brought a mountain artillery squadron and special smoke, which is enough!" Xiao Quan laughed eerily.

The Japs had increased their troops again, and the communications soldier who had been observing the enemy's situation on the tall paulownia tree in the village naturally informed the commander of the Zuo regiment of the news. The commander of the Zuo regiment had already expected this, and was not panicked at all, but was very worried.

He said happily: "Hahaha... Comrades, our work

The goal of the battle has been achieved! We have attracted the Japanese, and even the Japanese from surrounding counties. Then the 20,000 to 30,000 people protected by the 17th Regiment will be safe! The people are our relatives and our food and clothing.

Parents are our biggest support in fighting the heat!"

"Old village chief, don't worry. We haven't lost a single person in the battle so far, not even a single wounded person. So please tell the folks that we can hold on and will never let the Japanese go crazy! Also!

Yes, you should hide in the tunnel with the villagers and don't come out. The little devil may not use any vicious tricks, but don't get hurt by accident!" Captain Zuo said.

"Yeah, don't worry, we won't cause any trouble to the team! It's just that the women in our village couldn't stay idle in the tunnel, so they steamed some steamed buns for the comrades to make them hungry! The comrades have been fighting all morning.

We have also killed more than a hundred and almost two hundred Japanese, but we can't fight hungry!" After the old village chief said, a strong young man came away carrying a clean rattan basket and a dark-colored steamed bun.

Come in.

"Uh..." The old village chief went back to the tunnel with an arm full of cans. He had eaten this can before. It was Chinese cabbage stewed in a can during the district meeting. He was lucky enough to eat a piece of meat, and the aroma was so delicious.

I still remember it. As a result, I was offered seven or eight of them today, but I couldn't refuse because he knew the character of the Zuo regiment leader very well. He would do whatever he said and would not take advantage of the people.

"Captain Zuo said it well!" The old village chief of Song Village walked into the temporary regiment headquarters from outside, and then said enthusiastically: "Captain Zuo, comrades, don't worry, our village has several roads leading to the outside.

What about the tunnels! And we also harvested wheat and hoarded a lot of food! Even if the Japs besiege us, we have a way out and can keep fighting! So, don’t worry!"

After the old village chief left, the people hid in the tunnels. Even the women who were cooking on the upper and lower stoves of their own stoves above the chimneys also retreated to relatively safe positions in the tunnels.

Shortly after the meal, an observation post discovered that there were signs of Japs’ activities in the cemetery about 300 meters east of the village. In fact, there were signs of Japs’ activities around the village. The key is that the Japs here seemed to have radio antennas shaking.

, this is an important situation.

"Um...this flour has a lot of gluten, comrades, please be more careful..." the old village chief said a little shyly.

The soldiers of the 22nd Regiment and the 17th Regiment also ate delicious steamed buns each, and the fatigue from the two battles also dissipated.

The 22nd Regiment is the backbone regiment of the 7th Division of Jizhong. The main source of its troops is in the countryside here. These are all fellow villagers. For the soldiers, it is their duty to protect their hometown!

"Thank you, folks! I'll take this with you. They were seized from the Japanese!" A few cans of pork were placed in the arms of the old village chief. These cans of pork are good things. After opening them,

There is a thick layer of lard inside, and the pork belly is in huge chunks. It tastes delicious. Well, it is much better than those weird-tasting canned beef.

"In order to protect the retreat of our loved ones, the 17th Regiment would rather give up mobility and be chased by the Japanese all the way, or protect the villagers from moving to a safe place! Similarly, our comrades in the 22nd Regiment are also willing to get into trouble to protect the people.

Heavy siege! Even if we all die in battle, we will never let the common people be harmed!" Commander Zuo said firmly, and the surrounding cadres and soldiers also nodded.

This incident was reported to the communications troops below, who quickly found Commander Zuo, who took several staff officers, Zhao, to the machine gun position in the southeast corner of the village.

I picked up the telescope and took a look. Good guy, there were actually quite a few Japs, nearly a hundred of them, all busy there. I saw some Japs busy digging fortifications, and some dragging mountain cannons over.

, the Japs’ communication troops were sending telegrams, and there were even the Japs’ cooking squad setting up pots to boil water... Isn’t this too arrogant? Commander Zuo was amused.

"See Xiao Zhao? We have been putting in and attacking, which makes the little devil think that our firepower coverage is only a little more than 200 meters. Therefore, the little devil dares to build an artillery position more than 300 meters away!

And this also shows that the artillery skills of the little devils are no longer good. Mountain artillery can hit 6 kilometers, and they put it so close..."

After speaking, the commander of the Zuo regiment shook his head, and then ordered: "Artillery platoon, prepare for battle! Also, call all the grenade groups from the 2nd company and the 6th company of the 17th regiment! I will also provide fire coverage!"
Chapter completed!
