Chapter 108 Burning the Village

In the night, everyone ran about ten miles away before hiding in the mountains for a rest.

I endured the mosquitoes and slept until all night, and then changed direction and re-entered the Japanese defense line.

A group of Japanese troops were stationed in a small village.

There are earthen walls around the village, leaving only two entrances in the east and west. One person was left on both sides of the Japanese army as a sentinel, and there was probably a squadron like this when others entered and left in the village.

Wang Hong and others observed the mountain for a long time, but they did not notice the Chinese in the village. They didn't know whether the people in the village had escaped or were killed by Japanese soldiers. Anyway, the house was left to these Japanese soldiers.

These Japanese soldiers were stationed here, training and resting as if they were in their own military camps.

After seeing clearly the Japanese army's deployment to the village, everyone retreated to the distance and discussed how to do it.

Lao Zheng was so happy that he wanted to sneak in and shoot again, but Wang Hong just wanted to complete the task, so he decided to use a less risky method - burn the village and block the entrance of the village to shoot.

This method is more efficient than infiltrating and shooting. Lao Zheng agreed readily. He also volunteered to lead people to guard a village entrance and prepared to use Wang Hong's method to touch the whistle.

Needless to say, everyone made a division of labor. When there was a signal, they threw the torch into the village and set fire. Then, those who blocked the entrance of the village and those who blocked the earth wall, just fired. After thinking about the way to retreat, the entire combat plan was formed.

After we decided to do it, we started to check the firearms, and found pine trees to get pine oil to make torches. After preparing thirty or forty torches, we all fell asleep.

No matter how high or small the military ranks or positions they carry on their shoulders, they are veterans who have been fired by bullets and bullets. They are selected to be in the guard camp. This is the most basic thing to be able to fight.

What should we do before the battle? Everyone is very clear.

When it got dark, more than a dozen people touched the edge of the village.

The Japanese army was in Shuanggang at night, which was not difficult for Wang Hong, but it made him worry about Lao Zheng at the entrance of the village on the other side.

After one of him attacked and the other killed the Japanese sentries at the entrance of the village, the few soldiers behind him began to prepare for the fire.

According to everyone's agreement, Lao Zheng clicked first, and when others saw the fire, they lit the fire and threw out the torch.

Wang Hong was afraid that Lao Zheng would make a mistake. It would be fine if he didn't succeed. At most, he would change the place and then take action. If the person was broken, there would be no way to explain it. He wanted to go around and finish the whistle for Lao Zheng.

But there was no sound in the village.

Until Wang Hongdu wanted to run over, a fire suddenly lit up on the other side of the village, and Lao Zheng succeeded.

Wang Hong breathed.

Torches were thrown to the house next to the village, and soon the house next to the village became big torches.

As the fire broke out, I heard the shouts and fire-fighting sounds of the Japanese in the village.

But soon, the sound disappeared again, and turned into these Japanese soldiers who picked up their guns and began to break out.

No one is stupid. One place is a fire, and a few places are on fire, only someone is setting fire.

The Japanese army was well-trained and without any orders, they formed a combat team, mounted the machine guns, and began to move outside the village.

Seeing the Japanese running towards the entrance of the village, Lao Zheng smiled and fired the first shot. Soon, gunshots rang out around the village.

Everyone hid in the dark, looking at the Japanese army running out under the bright flames. The flames were behind the Japanese soldiers, illuminating the Japanese soldiers clearly, almost like shooting a target. There was no need to aim at it. The box gun in his hand was like a fire spitting, sending bullets into the middle of the Japanese army.

In a moment, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers fell down.

The Japanese machine gunners were anxious, but they were dark and bright. In the light of fire, they could not see anything outside, and there was no way to use the sneak attackers outside.

The people around the outside also noticed the appearance of machine gunners. They were all veterans and immediately dispersed from the entrance of the village and blocked the entrance of the village with bullets.

The Japanese soldiers were eager to withdraw from the village where the fire was on fire, and some people began to climb over the wall and ran out, but were seen by people guarding around them. They shot a few points, and the remaining Japanese could only hide in the central area where there was no fire. While splashing water to prevent fire, they shot randomly outside.

A major guard officer was a little anxious. He didn't say hello to Wang Hong. He took two people with him and prepared to approach the entrance of the village, shoot at the house that was not on fire in the middle, throw grenades.

But as soon as they approached, they were targeted by the machine gun and were quickly suppressed by the machine gun outside the entrance of the village.

At this time, the fire in the village was no longer able to save it. Most of the soldiers were fetching water from the well, wetting the houses that were not hidden. They were afraid that the flames would come over and rolling them all into it. The only defenses outside were left with machine gunners and grenade launchers, plus several officers.

The Japanese machine gunners were so anxious that they had no choice but to shoot longer shots. However, if someone wanted to rush in, they could only use bullets to suppress them. The two grenade launchers ran over quickly to set up the grenade launcher and fired two grenade launchers at the position of the machine gun.

The explosion of the grenade scared the three people in front of him. They immediately retreated, but in panic, one of them ran to the machine gun's strafing surface and was knocked to the ground by a bullet. The other two were so scared that they quickly picked him up and ran back quickly.

The defense ability of the two machine guns is not very strong, and with grenade launchers, everyone can only retreat to a farther place to hide.

Not long after, the Japanese army not far away also sent troops to reinforce.

There were many people coming. Lao Zheng's guard saw the flashlight shaking out a black crowd. He was so scared that he immediately sent a signal with gunfire, and everyone left the torch-like village.

When everyone gathered together, they quietly walked through several mountains before they started talking.

Several veterans said that if they hadn't come to the battlefield like this, they would have never imagined that they would have been burned in the middle of the village. The Japanese could still be so calmly wearing machine guns and ramming grenades as they listened to the movement.

The person in charge of the alert on Lao Zheng said that you couldn't think of anything. The Japanese sent so many reinforcements at night, and there were two companies, so it would be great if there was a place to ambush.

Lao Zheng smiled and scolded others, and you still want to ambush them? Are you looking for death?

This is the difference between fighting a civil war and fighting a foreign war. Civil war rarely goes to death. Sometimes, it even runs away with a stir, unlike the Japanese who are as stubborn as they stick to the fire.

The guy who had only a piece of meat plowed off the bullet on his shoulder was a little depressed, but no one forgot about him and kept comforting him that you are a good guy, and the young man will have to support you for the rest of his life.

As they were talking, Lao Zheng and the others discussed that they should talk to Zhang Liushao. If the large army can use it in such a length, it is best to use machine guns and small steel cannons to fight against the Japanese. How could there be no one who won’t win?

If they can fight in close combat, what else can the Japanese be rampant?

Wang Hong smiled but said nothing, but he had bought his own equipment.

These people are new guys, one long, two short and one grenade, and they can take the ammunition at will. Not to mention that fast horse, this person's things will cost at least 300 yuan to buy them. The people around Zhang Liushou's side are still equipped with such equipment. Even if they are equipped with machine guns and small steel cannons, they can still afford it.

But if it were a large army, even if it was only equipped with such a cavalry regiment, Zhang Liushou would not be able to pay so much money to support it.
