Just as Tang Dao and "Magic Buou" were bargaining each with their own ulterior motives, the battle between Shun and Wangping had already begun at 8 a.m.

Not only did he not guard the trap he was caught by the trap that he had been discovered for two days, he was also kicked hard by the rabbit at night. It is easy to imagine how frustrated the eagle was.

So, the Japanese army started to make rice before 6 o'clock, and the infantry had at least eaten the first hot meal in the past two days. Then at 7 o'clock, they used two infantry brigades as vanguards and marched towards the village with a population of more than 400 people at the foot of King Pingshan of Shun.

Because of this river valley, Hexi Village has hundreds of acres of land. In order to prevent bandits, a village wall and a watchtower were built on the village. There are more than a hundred young and strong people in the village. It is the largest gathering place for mountain people near Shunwangping.

I heard that a Japanese were coming yesterday afternoon, and the young and strong people in Hexi Village were not timid. They even planned to defend their homes with swords and guns and more than a dozen bird guns.

It was Li Jiujin's earnest persuasion that there were as many as 100 Japanese soldiers on the other side, and only these hundred people were left in the village, which was undoubtedly a mantis armed mantis chariot.

Except for a few young men who volunteered to stay in Hexi Village, they wanted to serve as guides for the Four Corps, and the rest of the people took the elderly, weak, women and children from Heilongtan to the depths of Wangwu Mountain. In order to prevent them from encountering sporadic Japanese vanguards from not being able to resist, Li Jiujin also gave them four shell guns to defend themselves.

The Hexi Village is now empty!

As expected, after two infantry brigades arrived at the bank of the river dozens of meters wide from the front of Hexi Village, they did not busy attacking the 7th Company position, which was only 30 meters away from the shore, but instead used mountain cannons to blow up the village.

The bombs are grenades and incendiary bombs. Even though I just got out of the primary school last night, because the incendiary bombs had chemicals, it was not long before a village with nearly a hundred houses burned into a sea of ​​fire.

Li Jiujin knew that the Japanese army was going to cut off the retreat route of the defenders on the river bank first to prevent the defenders from retreating to the village to fight street battles with them when they saw that they were defeated.

This is also a psychological pressure. Let the defenders take a good look. If they want to use this simple trench that was dug overnight, they cannot stop them from moving forward.

Guoqian Ya didn't want to waste too much time in front of this small river. As soon as he approached Heilongtan, the main force of the Four-Road Group would have less time to build civil fortifications.

Over the past year, Guozaki, who had suffered great losses to the Sixing Group, has studied the battle examples of the Sixing Group countless times. He knew what kind of temperament the Chinese army he was facing had.

The Four Army Regiment was extremely tenacious and tenacious when facing the enemy. On several occasions, their opponents had already broken through their defense lines. The few remaining soldiers in the trenches still did not retreat. They either died in battle or persisted until reinforcements arrived. In addition, what made the Four Army Regiment most painful was that they had sufficient firepower and had extremely outstanding civil fortification construction capabilities.

Just like when the 108th Division attacked its garrison in the hinterland of the Taihang Mountains on September 108th Division, the few last defenders built perfect civil fortifications on the main road in less than 2 days. This also led to the 108th Division not only returning without success, but also lost a large number of artillery and commanders due to the opponent's sneak attack.

With such a lesson, how could Guoqian not learn from his lesson? In this battle, he had to use his military strength and firepower advantages to push forward, fight quickly and decide quickly, and never give the Four Army Corps a chance to breathe.

Guoqian didn't take the three or four hundred people who were deploying defenses by the river at all. What he wanted was to defeat the main force of the Four-Road Group.

So, before the infantry began to attack, Kurosaki showed off part of his trump card.

More than one artillery brigade had 12 mountain cannons gathered and fired. In less than 20 minutes, a larger village was blown into a sea of ​​fire.

"Dog Japanese! I'm fighting with you." A young man from Hexi Village who was hiding in the trenches watched his home burning into a sea of ​​fire, and gritted his teeth with tears in his eyes.

Although there are no one in the village now, even the elderly are hiding into the mountains with their backs on their backs, all the belongings that the people of Hexi Village have accumulated over several generations.

Home is gone, especially in such a cold winter, it is almost impossible for the elderly and children to wait for spring to come.

"Brother, don't worry, wait until we drive away the Japanese and then rebuild our home." Tu Yunsheng, who was also curled up in the trenches, could only comfort him like this.

During the Battle of East Jin, Tu Yunsheng, who was already a sergeant in the army, was blown up directly in the shelling. The military doctor used a full 6 bottles of penicillin to allow him to survive the terrible infection and eventually saved his life.

He lost one leg and basically lost his combat capability. He should have retired. With the current factory size of the Dakouzidong station, let alone letting him work with those disabled soldiers, it would be no big problem even if he was in vain.

However, Tu Yun, who obtained "special military merits" after the war and was promoted to a sergeant in the army, had no choice but to live or die, and even had to take his hard-earned pure gold medal to exchange for an opportunity to continue to stay in the army.

The company commander Li Jiujin had no choice but to personally lead Tu Yunsheng and Cao Xiazi, who was equally determined, to find Leng Feng and ask these two cooks who are his company's troops to stay.

Li Jiujin is taking the curved route of saving the country. As long as he can stay as a cook, whether he can go to the battlefield is not just a matter of his company commander.

Leng Feng was also in a dilemma. The two friends of "Heaven and Earth are incomplete" were very brave in the Battle of Jindong, but after all, they were incomplete. The Four-East Regiment could not weaken their combat effectiveness. Moreover, as soon as the hole was opened, I still don't know how many disabled veterans would return to the army without arms and legs.

Leng Feng had to go to Director Ye Chenghuan of the Political Department again. Ye Chenghuan, who also felt very difficult, had to contact Tang Dao who was still far away. Two severely disabled veterans wanted to stay in the army. What seemed to be a small matter was very involved. Only Tang Dao, the chief official, could make a decision.

Tang Dao quickly gave an answer, agreeing that they would not be reclaimed if the special merit medal was left, but the reward was cancelled, and the rewards of the third-level commanders of his battalion, company and platoon were also cancelled as an exceptional punishment.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content below! But the two will not be cooks, and will continue to serve as the squad leader and deputy squad leader of the infantry squad. Their infantry squad is also organized by 4 more people than the other infantry squads, which are used to assist the two people in marching in an emergency.

After that bloody battle, Tu Yunsheng's infantry squad was only two of them left with disabilities, and the rest were killed in battle. After receiving the order from Tang Dao Army, Leng Feng and Li Jiujin immediately began to rebuild the infantry squad.

Two veterans of two years of military experience, three veterans of a year, and four half-year-old soldiers were transferred from the entire infantry battalion. At least 5 new recruits have participated in one battle, and four new recruits were added. There are 7 soldiers alone, accounting for almost one-third of the infantry squad.

In order to commend this infantry squad, Li Jiujin spared no effort to pay his money. The semi-automatic rifles that were given to them were 5, 4 submachine guns, 6 bolt-action rifles, 4 pistols, a grenade, and a light machine gun. Their strength was not weaker than that of a Japanese infantry squad.

Not to mention in the 3rd Battalion, even the entire Four-Capital Regiment can be regarded as the first infantry squad.

The young man glanced at the infantry squad leader who had lost half his legs, and the tears in his eyes couldn't help but shed.

Even the person who has lost his legs has to be pulled to the front line? By the way, there is a one-eyed dragon in the trench where he is located with one eye blindfolded. Another good eye is said to be unable to see clearly anything, so he is just a blind man.

It can be seen how short the army in front of me is. If you expect them to defeat the Japanese army, it would be better to go to sleep and dream more.

Maybe this young man in the mountain village was already very pessimistic, but the next moment, something that made him feel even more sad happened.

"Retreat?" Tu Yunsheng, who had just comforted his fellow villager, received the military order from the communications soldiers of the platoon headquarters and almost jumped up.

How is this possible? The two infantry companies worked hard all night and finally dug two trenches. They retreated without a single shot?

"Squad Leader Tu, this is the company commander's order. Hurry up, the orders have been executed on the first and second rows over there, and we are only three rows away." The young communication soldier also wrote helplessness on his face.

"Brothers, retreat!" Tu Yunsheng gritted his teeth and held a soldier with his gun and stood up with difficulty.

He ran away without a single shot? The young man in the mountain village looked at the soldiers in the trench carrying guns and carrying bullet boxes and quickly retreating along the traffic trench, looking disbelief.

"Boy, I'll leave if I ask you to leave. I can't fight here. There's no way to fight the Japanese in the mountains. Hurry up and hold my hand and run faster, otherwise the Japanese shells will fly over later and I can't run away even if I want to." Boss Cao, who passed by, held the wrist of the young man in the mountain village in one hand, and it looked like an iron pliers.

Boss Cao, who has experienced several wars and basically lost his eyes, is no longer the new recruit who made steamed buns and soup in the past. Although his eyes have almost lost all his eyesight, his calmness is what makes the two two-year-old veterans in the infantry squad admire him.

In their words: If I couldn't see both tricks and wouldn't want to live anymore, then I could practice orders and bombs calmly every day like Lao Cao!

The so-called command to drop bombs means that there is a special soldier who stays by his side, using the coordinates agreed by the two people, and one person shouts, Boss Cao is responsible for the bidding.

I don’t know if when the eyes lose their function, other senses of people will become developed. In less than a month, Boss Cao, who used to throw bombs from his eyes and was far away and could be called a human cannon, practiced a unique skill that made everyone dumbfounded. The soldiers could beat him wherever he said.

With him as the center of the circle, it can be covered with almost no blind spots!

The most awesome thing is that Boss Cao can even estimate the burning speed of the grenade fuse and the flight speed of the grenade, so as to whether to drop the grenade into the target location or in the air directly above the target.

For example, if the soldier who cooperated with him said there were trenches or bunkers there, then Boss Cao could use his own estimate to let the dropped grenade explode in the air to form an air bomb and cause damage to the target.

In Li Jiujin's words: This may be the Four Lines Regiment, no, the most awesome blind bomb thrower in the entire Chinese army!

With this move, Deputy Squad Leader Cao, who was promoted to corporal of the Army, has become one of the backbones of the first infantry squad of the Four Army Regiment.

As long as you have been on the battlefield, no one doesn't know how important a bomb thrower who points to attack and where he is.

Boss Cao, who was so open-minded, pulled the deadly guide and quickly evacuated along the traffic trench.

The traffic trench was the last retreat for these two infantry companies. In order to ensure that the No. 400 people were not exposed to the wilderness to evacuate, the two infantry companies spent a lot of effort to dig three traffic trenches more than 400 meters long.

Li Jiujin's order was issued very timely. In less than five minutes, the Japanese infantry were ready. The Japanese artillery began to turn the gun mouth and aimed at the trench positions on the river bank to start the bombing mode.

"The Chinese ran away?" A Japanese major saw the figure of a Chinese soldier hundreds of meters away entering the forest through the smoke.

A trace of suspicion flashed across his face, but he ordered firmly: "Notify the rear to stop the shelling, the first, second and third squadrons cross the river, and the heavy machine gun squadron firepower cover!

But be careful. The Chinese will definitely be deceptive if they give up so easily, and they can only send a small number of people into their positions!"

Although the river water of the small river was cold, it could not stop the Japanese army's advance. In order not to wet their military trousers, many Japanese soldiers simply removed their military trousers and jumped into the cold river with their two small thick legs and attacked the empty positions in China.

But after crossing the river, he was not in a hurry to enter the position rashly. Nearly a thousand Japanese troops were lying on the cold river bank land, and only sent less than a dozen infantry squads to the closetree with caution.

Sure enough, their caution played a role, and several Japanese soldiers squatted down in pain.

That was a trick that Tang Dao learned from the 28th Division. He ordered the military factory to use the scrap materials in the corner to make caltrops. As long as there is steel, it is not technically difficult. With the current material reserves and various machine tools of the Sixing Regiment Factory, it can be said that there are as much as possible, as long as each infantry company needs it.

Li Jiujin ordered each infantry squad to carry 200 pieces. Each caltrop weighs 2 taels, which is roughly 40 kilograms. On average, each person has about 15 pieces. Although it is impossible to complete the 28th Division's density of at least one step, you will definitely be hit if you walk too much.

Seeing his colleagues' feet being pinned by sharp triangles, the Japanese infantry balls lying on the river bank couldn't help but feel cold. The Chinese were really sinister and vicious.

It's okay to tuck your feet into the soles, and you don't even have to participate in the subsequent battles. Maybe it's a bad thing to turn into a good thing, but if you are unfortunately shot and fall to the ground, and your face or crotch are pierced by this thing, what's the experience?

Just thinking about it doesn't feel very wonderful.

But the Japanese infantry were obviously too superficial. They underestimated the "violence" of Teacher He, who had been influenced by the Tang regiment for a long time.

All terrestrial caltrops have been severely contaminated after leaving the factory, with chemicals and artificial domestic waste. In short, they are dirty and they are placed wherever they are. I don’t know how many bacteria are there.

Now it looks like a hole is pierced in the soles of the feet, and it won't take long. The chances of being infected with the wounded Japanese army are as high as 100%. Sepsis combined with bacterial infection will cause the wounded to die after consuming countless drugs.

This is true. In the 7th Company and the 8th Company's four Japanese soldiers who were pierced with their feet were finally on the list of the Kwanzaki Detachment's death.

"Baga! The personnel who ordered the survey should be careful, as the Chinese may even have explosives buried in it." The Japanese Army Major who approached the river ordered.

"The Japanese are really smart!" Li Jiujin, who had already hidden in the mountains, looked through the telescope and saw only a small number of Japanese troops entering the front-line trenches, which was also a little regretful.

"Let them not wait, detonate the explosives and retreat quickly!"

With a few loud bangs, several balls of gunpowder burst into the front trenches that the two infantry companies worked hard to dig but gave up without a single shot.

Those were three 50 kilogram blowout spots buried last night. In order to prevent being detonated by Japanese artillery shells, they were basically buried deep underground at 1.5 meters deep, and they would be detonated through detonators and wires. They were originally used to kill together when the trenches were about to be broken through.

Now that I retreat, I will leave it all for the Japanese!

But the Japanese have also learned a lot. The main force stayed outside and only sent small groups of people into the trenches. The soldiers hiding in the traffic trench were less than 100 meters away from the Japanese army. They wanted to wait for the Japanese to take the bait, but they might even break themselves inside.

A total of 150 kilograms of explosives collapsed the trenches dozens of meters, but the Japanese army killed and injured were only single digits, which was basically in vain.

If we want to calculate the loss and results, the 3rd Battalion lost manpower overnight, more than 100 kilograms of explosives and hundreds of caltrops, and the results were to kill less than 10 Japanese soldiers.

The Guoqi Detachment consumed more than 200 shells and damaged 9 people. In addition, there were a thousand people with bare butts and were blown by the cold wind for more than 20 minutes, but they captured the bridgehead position.

For the Japanese army, this is victory. The engineers can build simple floating bridges without any scruples. Thousands of infantrymen do not need to be wet in their lower bodies, and they can point their full strength to the Black Dragon Pond.

In terms of losses and results, the two sides seemed to have a draw, but strategically, the Four-Road Group was defeated!

Because they could have used this river that was not turbulent but wide enough to let the Japanese army shed blood, but they gave up easily.

Even the young people in the mountain village who know nothing about military affairs feel that the Chinese army they follow has no future.

If it weren't for thinking that these people had given the villagers some weapons and food, at least they were good people, they wanted to go as far as they could.

But what unexpectedly surprised this simple mountain young man was that this Chinese army was even less bottom line than he thought!
