under fire

Chapter 1626 Immigrants

Sporadic gunshots suddenly came from the direction of the village to the north.

The gunshots were not dense.

The Japanese team leader, who temporarily took over the command and was fighting with the eight-pronged group of gunmen and cannons in the dark, turned around and looked at the village behind him. The village in the distance was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

Quickly notify the messenger around you to go behind and ask what's going on.

The muzzle flashes one after another in the south are still there, without any pattern.

Obviously, Tubal Road is still fighting guerrillas in the same way: shoot and change places.

The Eighth Route Army not far away were really capable of tossing people around, and they actually had the guts to fight a positional battle with the invincible imperial army.

Shamelessly plotting in the dark, they secretly attacked the Imperial Army's artillery positions, and now they bullied the Imperial Army, unable to aim accurately at night, and relying on grenades and grenades to blindly inflict casualties on each other.

After fighting for so long, he had already concluded in his heart that the Eighth Route Army in the south must have fewer people than him, but it was a pity that the Eighth Route Army had automatic weapons.

The so-called random shooting of the master, at this time, he did not order his men to launch an onboard charge.

After a few minutes.

"The battalion commander of the Imperial Association Army escaped before the battle." The Japanese guard post followed the messenger and hurried to the squad leader.

The squad leader was initially reluctant to fight in the dark at night.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, he turned to look at the body of the squadron leader next to him, then turned his head to the south again, looking into the endless night filled with gunpowder smoke.

The other party's gun flames flashed randomly from time to time, making him suddenly feel an inexplicable fear in his heart...

The second lieutenant has participated in mopping up operations for many years and has considerable battlefield experience. He knows very well what it means to lose cover in the rear.

Originally, they just wanted to wipe out Wang Shun's tribe and implement a new public security plan. They didn't want to hunt rabbits in the grass. However, there was a group of Tubalu who were not afraid of death hidden in the grass.

The imperial army has always wanted to destroy Tubal Road but could not find its whereabouts.

Should we stay and wait for reinforcements? Or should we withdraw first and leave the elites to reconnoiter the traces of Tubal Road and wait for the imperial army to encircle them?

The team leader was really confused.

If they do not take the initiative to attack and hold on until dawn, the imperial army will not suffer too many casualties.

The lives of the warriors of the Imperial Army are precious, and it is not worthwhile to fight like this with broken jade against cracked tiles!

After a while, he sighed and said: "Damn the Imperial Alliance Army, they are all fighting to the death!"

When he received no response from his subordinates, he ordered the guard post waiting in front of him: "Go and notify the second team to prepare to retreat."

Then the sergeant who commanded his men vigorously issued an order: "Gather the troops immediately, and the third squad will stop the attack and be sure to take away all the wounded."

Immediately, birds chirped and shouted in all directions in the not-wide position.

The sergeant began to gather his troops and make arrangements for retreat.

The second lieutenant turned around and led his team to follow the guard post to the north and leave the battlefield.

After walking a few steps, I suddenly realized that after leaving a squadron behind, two warriors were carrying a seriously injured person, but they were short of manpower.

In just over ten minutes of fighting, more than half of his men were killed or injured!

In a dark ditch, a seriously injured Japanese soldier said firmly: "As an imperial soldier, there is no word retreat in my dictionary."

"Okay. I'll leave you four grenades." The second lieutenant patted the shoulder of the superior soldier whose leg was blown off: "I will report your heroic deeds to the military headquarters!"

"Don't worry, I will make them pay the price!" Perhaps he forgot the severe pain from the injury, and a sinister smile appeared on the private's face, which was twisted in pain.

In order not to burden the squad leader, the six seriously injured Japanese took the initiative to stay in the darkness.

Under the stars.

Yezhuang Village. The villagers, who were forced to move here because of their livelihood, were not afraid of the unfamiliar village.

Perhaps because of the constant gunshots from the north, the newly moved villagers did not sleep peacefully.

Several elderly villagers gathered together, and a group of farmers with black faces looked worried: "The Imperial Army and the Imperial Alliance Army are out in full force. I don't know which village will face another disaster."

"This village is full of innocent souls. If we come here, we will have our backs stabbed in the future."

"Second Uncle Kong, according to me, what we are doing should be called the assistants of tigers." The fake man spoke with a female voice.

Second Uncle Kong shook his head: "If we didn't agree to Camp Commander Ma and the others to move here earlier, the whole village would have to starve to death!"

"Yeah, we're going to die anyway. If we agree to come here, the Japs will give us grain and seeds. At least we have a way to survive." The man smoking a dry cigarette next to him said.

"In the year of the great disaster, the two Japanese devils distributed grain and seeds under the instructions of the little Japanese devil. They definitely had bad intentions!" Although the female man did not know what the devil wanted to do, the devil was a devil, a devil.

"That's right, these days, it's better to die than live." The black-faced man said. He felt that the imperial army was not scary, and even had some conscience. Anyway, they were better than the corrupt officials and evil landlords in the Republic of China who paid taxes and donated money regardless of the lives of the people. Just a tiny bit better.

"In the era of war and chaos, if we don't listen to them, we will be dead." The man smoking the cigarette exhaled a puff of smoke and then advised.

Uncle Kong may be afraid that the female man will cause trouble: "Think about it, we are strong laborers from all over the country, and our relatives and friends who are close to us have become the emperor's allies and eaten the emperor's food. It doesn't matter if they are captured by the little devils and dig coal." Working as coolies in the mines, those who refused were almost killed by Japanese bayonets. In this year of disaster, the village is full of old and weak women and children. How can we survive? "

"So, it's better for us to come here than to starve to death." Dry smoke sprayed out again.

"I know how powerful it is." The female man sighed helplessly: "This is a damn world."

"Sister Qiu Wei, an unknown person has appeared in the village!" A calm young female voice came from outside the door.

Under the faint moonlight.

Two figures crawled out of the village.

Luo Fugui glared at the traffic officer who came back with the scout: "How many enemies are there in grandma's village?"

The traffic officer shook his head and said in a low tone: "The situation is not very clear. The traffic officer in the village was originally missing. Several familiar households have strangers living in their homes."

"Stranger?" Luo Fugui couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"It turns out that all the people in the village are probably dead." The traffic officer said with tears in his eyes: "The villagers who remain in the village now must be good people who were moved here by the little devils."

Luo Fugui showed no trace of sadness at all.

It was not that he had never heard of the Japanese massacre of the village. He had even experienced it personally.

Starting from Class 9, people around him died one after another, whether it was Wu Shitou with a runny nose or those whose names he could hardly remember.

Perhaps, having experienced the death of too many people around or not around you, your feelings will slowly become numb...

He even suddenly understood in his heart the reason why Boss Hu never shed tears when the people around him died.

Although I slept with my eyes open most of the time when I was studying, I heard an instructor in the teacher say once: Commanders should not be affected by emotions when facing a battle.

Is he considered a disciple?

His thoughts slowly came back.

That guy Liu Yuanqing arranged for him to come here in order to steal the Japanese's logistic supplies. He also said that since ancient times, when fighting a war, one must first cut off the enemy's food supply route.

Since the village was definitely not all "good people" who had been moved by the Japanese, there were probably spies from the detective team among them.

So, is it a tribulation or not?

If you commit a robbery, you must be disciplined and pay attention. If you don't commit a robbery, these villagers will definitely be the accomplices of the tiger in the future.

Grandma, this thing is too confusing. The traffic officer is older than me, but he only wipes his tears and sniffs like a girl, and can't offer any useful suggestions.

Since I don't have an idea, I'll just stop doing anything at the head office, right?
