Not only Tamaki Ling, the other two Japanese captains were also confused.
The Japanese soldiers who had fled back were all holding their heads and squatting in the trenches, shivering, not knowing what terrible things they would encounter inside.
Yumuling couldn't believe that seven or eight soldiers from her own squad came back just after visiting the village.
The question is, there weren't many gunshots fired just now. Why did the troops suffer so much damage?
With a gloomy face, Yumuling walked quickly behind the soldier squatting in the trench, pinched his neck directly, and said angrily: "Baga, what happened inside.
As the most heroic imperial army in the empire, you actually fled back in such a mess!"
The Japanese soldier seemed to be frightened out of his wits. He didn't even hear Yu Muling's angry shouting behind him and was still trembling.
He kept chanting: "There are ghosts, there are ghosts, there are ghosts in the village, many, many ghosts."
"Baga Yalu!" Yumuling was completely angry, turned his body around hard, and slapped him twice.
With two crisp slaps, the Japanese soldier gradually came back to his senses.
Seeing Tamaki Ling with an angry face in front of him, he hurriedly stood up and nodded.
"What happened inside, why are you in such a mess, tell me quickly!" Tamaki Ling grabbed the devil's collar and said angrily.
"Ha...Hai!" The Japanese soldier paused hurriedly, recalling the terrifying scene in the village before, with a look of horror on his face: "There...there are many people inside..."
"Nani?" Yumuling was shocked and said anxiously: "You said there are many enemies in the village?"
"That's right, there are many enemies in the village, and we can't judge the enemy's location at all!" The Japanese soldiers looked a little scared.
"They, they are like ghosts." The Japanese soldier recalled: "Many imperial soldiers were killed by the enemy for no apparent reason, and then disappeared without a trace.
They move very fast, they are not human...not human..."
"Baga!" Seeing that this guy didn't tell any useful information, Yumu Ling kicked him to the ground.
Then he grabbed another soldier who was holding his head and shivering in the corner.
He was the same, like a frightened quail.
Tamaki Ling slapped him hard several times, and then yelled at him: "Tell me, what happened inside!"
Seeing Tamaki Ling's fierce face, the soldier said tremblingly: "There are many people inside, and many imperial soldiers died in their hands.
We couldn't see where they were at all, they were hiding in the thick fog and bullets couldn't hit them."
Yumuling let go of the guy and looked in the direction of Zhoujiacun with a solemn expression.
Hoshizora Yuno and Yozuki Melia also walked over with solemn expressions on their faces.
There was no surprise. Their two teams also suffered heavy losses and encountered the same situation as the team sent by Tamaki Ling.
Tamaki Ling looked at her watch in disbelief. It had only been more than 40 minutes since the attack began.
He simply couldn't believe that out of the three Imperial Army squads, which numbered close to 200 people, only one-tenth of them were left in these forty minutes.
What exactly is there in Zhoujiacun this time that can cause heavy damage to his troops in a short period of time?
Tamaki Ling couldn't figure it out. The place ahead was just an ordinary small village, not a fortress built of steel and cement.
Why is this village so invincible and the invincible imperial army, and why do they encounter Waterloo here one after another?
No matter how large the number of our own troops is, they cannot withstand the attrition. The Imperial Army's troops, which originally numbered nearly 10,000, now have nearly 2,000 casualties, and will soon reach the number of two brigades.
But the answer actually lies in the tunnel.
The little Japanese who occupied the tunnel would never have imagined that there were hidden entrances one after another in the trenches.
When the 28th Regiment retreated, they specially provided cover, and there were already wooden planks in the trenches as supports, which added an extra layer of protection to the cover.
Unless the little devils search along the trench inch by inch, it will be difficult for them to discover this secret.
Tamaki Ling and the other three old Japanese soldiers couldn't even figure out why the troops suffered such heavy losses.
Could it be that they all went to Japan, specially found a group of ninjas, and followed them to learn ninjutsu?
The thick fog in front of me didn't know when it would dissipate, which made Tamaki Ling feel a little anxious.
If he could not successfully capture this village, he would have no choice but to lead his troops back in despair.
Because of his command, the troops suffered such heavy losses, I don't know what kind of punishment he will face when he returns.
"Xingkong Jun, do you have any good ideas?" Tamaki Ling said in a deep voice.
Yuno Hoshizora pondered for a while: "The fog is too heavy and we cannot make tactical arrangements according to the situation unless...the fog can disperse immediately."
Yeyue Meilia said: "I don't know when this heavy fog will disperse. It may have to wait until the afternoon. How can we wait for such a long time!
Now that we have determined that this group of Chinese people are in the village, we simply move forward and completely surround the village, looking for traces of the Chinese people inch by inch.
There is no point in spending time in the trenches when you can't see the enemy. I don't believe it's possible that these Chinese rats can really hide underground!"
The successive failures caused Yeyue Meilia's mentality to have problems.
Yeyue Meilia never expected that her unintentional words would be very close to the answer.
The soldiers of the 28th Regiment are really lurking underground.
at the same time.
A message from Isamu Hiragakuo asking about the results of the battle came again. The three of them looked at the message, but they didn't know how to reply.
It cannot be said that after a night's rest, the imperial army successfully occupied the trenches left behind by the enemy's retreat?
Or could it be said that their attack on Zhoujia Village failed and their own troops suffered losses again?
After much thought, they finally decided to tell General Pinglu that they had occupied the trenches outside Zhoujiacun.
Anyway, this reply is true, it just conceals some details.
After seeing this reply, Isamu Hiragaku was naturally very excited. He first encouraged them, and then wished them a smooth attack and an early triumphant return with news of victory.
"Xingkong Lord, Yeyue Lord, we don't have much time left." Tamaki Ling said solemnly: "I propose to directly launch a general attack and quickly occupy this village."
After a pause, Tamaki Ling said again: "I don't believe that if three regiments are dispatched together, they still can't capture this village!"
Hoshizora Yuno and Yozuki Melia nodded in agreement.
"Without further delay, we shouldn't waste time here!" Yumuling said fiercely: "I propose that we launch an attack on Zhoujiacun immediately!"
"Okay, I'll go back and prepare right away, and then our three alliances will launch an attack together." Hoshizora Yuno said.
A fierce look flashed in Yeyue Meilia's eyes, and she nodded heavily: "Okay, when the time comes, our three troops will stab each other."
"Pass my order, and the entire Yumu Regiment will dispatch to occupy Zhoujia Village in one fell swoop!" Yumu Ling drew out her command knife and said fiercely.
Tamaki Ling couldn't think about so much at the moment. He wanted to occupy the village first. He didn't believe that three regiments of imperial soldiers charging together could not capture the village.
Half an hour later, the three Japanese regiments were reorganized and they all climbed out of the trenches one after another.
These Japanese soldiers marched towards Zhoujiacun as if they had been given a shot of blood, shouting "Panzai" in their mouths, and the sound of "Panzai" cheered them up.
The sound of thousands of Japanese soldiers crying and howling soon reached the sky above Zhoujia Village.
Even though they were separated by thick fog, as the sound got closer and closer, Ding Wei gradually realized that the Japs seemed to be desperate and wanted to use the human wave tactic to occupy Zhoujia Village.
"Captain, the Japs are here again, shall we be the same as before this time?" Huo Guang asked excitedly.
The bayonet in his hand was already stained red with blood. Not to mention how enjoyable it was when he stabbed the little Japs to death in the thick fog.
Now seeing the Japanese coming, Huo Guang didn't have any fear in his heart, but instead felt a bit excited.
As far as he was concerned, the more little Japs there were, the better, so that they could use their bones to sharpen their bayonets.
"Don't worry." Ding Wei said with a smile: "Let's trick them in first, and then we'll deal with them severely, killing as many of them as they come.
Let the soldiers guard the entrance of our cave first and get into their respective fighting positions. When the number of Japanese who come in is almost the same, we will attack them again!"
…
The three Japanese armies were proceeding very smoothly. They entered Zhoujia Village very smoothly without receiving any blows.
now.
The original thick white fog also dissipated a lot, at least the visibility range increased a lot.
More and more Japanese troops poured into Zhoujia Village. They were knocking on the village and carefully inspecting every corner.
The three old Japanese soldiers had solemn expressions and were always listening to the movements of the battlefield.
He originally thought that Tubal Road was hiding in the village, but following the search by soldiers entering the village, reports emerged.
There was not a single soul in the village, except for the corpses of the imperial soldiers who had died in the previous battle.
When they received the news, the three old devils looked a little surprised and seemed afraid to go into details.
"You mean no Eighth Route Army figures were found in the village?" Yumuling asked in disbelief.
"Hai, Your Majesty Colonel!" the Japanese soldier paused and replied.
"Is there anything unusual in the village?" Yumuling asked again.
The Japanese soldier said honestly: "Apart from the fact that the village is very large and has signs of fortification, I didn't find anything strange."
This answer made the three old devils even more strange.
"Baga, where can these Tubalu go? Is it possible that they can get wings and fly?" Yeyue Meliya said angrily.
Tamaki Ling asked: "Are there any traces of the enemy's retreat on the ground?"
The 28th Regiment has a large number of people, and it is simply impossible to leave without leaving any traces.
"Reporting to your Excellency, Colonel, I have found no trace of the enemy's retreat." the Japanese soldier replied.
"Nani?" Hoshizora Yuno was also dumbfounded.
There was no retreat, and no trace of the enemy was found in the village. Where could so many people from the 28th Regiment go?
Tamaki Ling vaguely thought of something, but couldn't remember it for a while.
…
At this time, at least one regiment of soldiers had gathered in the village, and more soldiers were preparing to enter behind.
The streets, large and small, were already filled with Japanese soldiers.
Seeing that time was almost up, Ding Wei decisively issued the order to attack.
Suddenly there was a crashing sound in various streets, bricks of various sizes fell off the walls, and the shooting holes originally hidden in the walls were revealed.
Hearing the noise ringing in their ears, the Japanese soldiers on the street suddenly became alert and glanced around with their guns in hand, but did not see a single figure.
The dark muzzle of the gun poked out from the shooting hole and was aimed at one of the Japanese soldiers.
A crisp gunshot suddenly sounded, and a flash of fire flashed from the gun's muzzle, which was soon swallowed up by the thick fog that gathered here.
Immediately afterwards.
A Japanese soldier fell to the ground on the street.
The sudden sound of gunfire was not harsh in this silent environment, and he looked at a companion who had been shot in the chest and fell to the ground.
The Japanese soldiers on this street suddenly became panicked. They aimed their guns everywhere, but they couldn't see anyone else at all.
next moment.
Intensive gunfire suddenly rang out, the holes in the street wall flashed with firelight, and dense bullets immediately poured towards the Japanese soldiers on the street.
The Japanese soldiers standing on the street were completely defenseless and were immediately knocked to the ground by the dense bullets.
On this street alone, at least a dozen Japanese soldiers were knocked to the ground.
The remaining Japanese soldiers didn't know what had happened and looked around in panic, but they could only hear the harsh sound of gunfire and could not find any trace of the enemy.
They soon rang out, the soldiers who had fled back before were shouting about ghosts and ghosts.
Maybe I have met them too.
The noisy gunfire did not give the Japanese soldiers any chance to think. Fire from both sides kept firing into the street.
The high-level machine gun point at the entrance to the street also revealed its ferocious fangs, spraying firepower toward the street.
Two machine gun fire points, one in front and one behind, completely blocked the enemy's retreat path.
This is only the scene on one street. The Japanese soldiers on several other streets also suffered the same disaster.
The sudden burst of firepower caught the Japanese soldiers who entered the village off guard and looked at the firelight flickering around the smoke.
They also subconsciously fired in the direction of the fire, but the fire showed no sign of stopping and instead became more intense.
The screams of the Japs in the village rang out, and the Japs soldiers who entered the village were beaten up.
The soldiers lying in ambush in the tunnel took advantage of the fact that the Japanese had no time to react and tried their best to empty the bullets in their guns and cause them as much damage as possible.
The Japanese soldiers waiting to attack outside the village suddenly heard intensive gunshots coming from the village, and for a moment they didn't know what happened.
Yumuling suddenly heard a burst of noisy gunfire from the village ahead, and she was stunned.
Yuno Hoshizora and Melia Yozuki were also shocked. The enemy was still in the village?
The number of guns in the village is getting denser and denser, and faint screams can still be heard. It is very likely that the troops responsible for the attack are already at war with Tubal Road.
Listening to the news, is your side losing or winning?
