"Not bad." Su Yuan also had this idea, so he immediately issued a combat mission. The assembled combat groups were divided into two groups. Su Yuan led one group to ambush the battlefield, while Li Zhuang led one group to attract the enemy during the blockade.
In addition, Su Yuan sent people to inform Meng Tian to cut off the enemy's retreat and monitor possible reinforcements in Xicheng Town.
Although the enemies in Xicheng Town were afraid of the guerrillas, they received orders from Yamada to try to harass the guerrillas holding down the Eighth Route Army. Seeing that the shooting in front was not fierce, they thought that the sharpshooter had turned to the west of Xicheng Town to disrupt the brigade.
They thought they could retreat quickly, so they moved forward slightly to catch up, but they soon stopped.
"Fight!" Su Yuan immediately ordered when he saw that the enemy he was pursuing was slowing down and showing signs of retreating.
Su Yuan didn't pay much attention to the forty or fifty Japanese and puppet soldiers in front of him. Under the cover of his shooting and Xiaowu's machine gun, the second guerrilla detachment launched a direct attack on the enemy.
The enemies who came out realized that something was wrong. Just after they met, more than ten people fell down. The opponent's firepower was very fierce and not weaker than theirs. The timid enemies turned around and ran back, but it was already too late.
After receiving the news, Meng Tian led a detachment to cut off the enemy's retreat. The enemy who was trapped in a pincer attack had no way to escape. Although the Japanese among them resisted stubbornly, those who dared to resist were killed one after another under Su Yuan's attack. The remaining ones and the puppet troops
Seeing that there was no rescue, those who dared to resist began to kneel on the ground and raise their guns to surrender, or lay on the ground with their heads in their hands.
"Report to the captain." The team member in charge of the investigation came to report: "The Japanese team has already headed towards Sujiacun."
"Leave a few people to guard the prisoners, and the others will follow me to capture Xicheng Town." Su Yuan immediately ordered.
"How about I take people to fight in Xicheng Town, and you can take people to rescue my family." Meng Tian said uneasily.
"Xiaoyun has led the team to stop them halfway to buy some time. In addition, Shuyuan is at home. I have already asked her to help the villagers relocate immediately depending on the situation." Su Yuan said bitterly: "Let's attack the Japanese here.
Maybe we can attract the Japanese back."
"Yes, this is a good idea!" Meng Tian understood immediately.
"Although it's tempting, we still have to fight hard. It's best to end the battle as soon as possible." Su Yuan said.
The guerrillas immediately launched an attack on West Town from two directions. Many of the puppet troops in West Town were released by Su Yuan last time. They knew that as long as they did not resist the Eighth Route Army, they would not be harmed. However, they could not surrender immediately because of the Japanese around them.
But it's just coping.
The stronghold in Xicheng Town had not yet been established, and the Japanese and puppet troops could only hide in a few garrisoned bungalows and resist stubbornly. The guerrillas who invaded the town began to fight for each other house by house.
The enemy never expected that the guerrillas' firepower would be so fierce. Soon, several houses defended by the puppet troops were taken down, leaving only the largest one, which was a bungalow surrounded by tall and solid walls.
In his residence, the Japanese drilled shooting holes in the wall and used intensive firepower to resist.
Although it was a fierce fire cover, several attacks were still beaten back. "Damn, these Japs are so determined that they won't surrender no matter how hard they shout!" Meng Tiantian said.
"The Japs are quite thoughtful. The view here is wide and it is not suitable to attack, and the wall is high and it is not easy to climb." Su Yuan observed and said, "And we don't have heavy weapons."
"What should we do?" Meng Tian asked.
"Turn all our machine guns to the front." Su Yuan said, "Let the soldiers find straw and firewood."
"That's right, fire attack, burn these bastards to death." Meng Tian understood immediately.
Soon, a dozen soldiers came back carrying bundles of straw, including wine jars and oil cans. "We will try to compensate the people after the battle!" Su Yuan ordered, thinking of the discipline of the Eighth Route Army.
Meng Tian was somewhat disapproving, "Our lives are at stake. It's not the right thing for ordinary people to take something."
"This is our discipline!" Su Yuan shouted to his brother-in-law.
"Okay. Listen to you." Meng Tian admired Su Yuan's command and thought and immediately responded.
"Machine gun cover, hit me hard and cover the attack." Su Yuan ordered.
