under fire

Chapter 673 Anti-mopping up

The outline of the village is hidden in the dark plain under the hazy moonlight.

A dark figure crawled out of a hearth where a wall had collapsed, followed by another.

Lying in the mound of the courtyard wall that was mostly knocked down, after observing for a while with the light emitted by the fire in the village, a black shadow said: "The observation post said that the puppet army is almost a company, No. [-], we have to wait for the old When Meng and the others call, they will cooperate with each other."

No one answered. After jumping into the mound, a [-]-[-] rifle appeared immediately. There was a nervous eye behind the horizontal scale. As the cold wind drifted by, an excited voice finally responded in a murmur: "So many security forces Jun. It's a good fight this time, but why have to wait until the middle of the night."

There are more and more rifles on the side, and the grenade is picked up and moved forward, the bayonet rubs against the muzzle of the gun.
"Don't worry, you can fish in troubled waters when they get into a mess." A squad leader who was ambushing in the village slapped the neck of the one next to him who was making noise.

"Hey, can you lighten up?"

A squad of devils was stationed in the village with a company of puppet troops.

A team of more than 100 people mopped up the area for a whole day without even finding a trace of the guerrillas. According to the messenger, they had bitten the tail of the guerrillas who were transferring with the villagers, and it was estimated that they would be able to encircle them tomorrow.

More than a dozen security forces marched in unison, no one rushed forward, and everything was proceeding according to plan.

Sergeant Cao, who was looking at the map in the dilapidated house, was determined, and carefully marked the range of activities of the guerrillas on the simple map.

Judging from the picture, if all the ministries are pressed together, there is no room for the guerrillas to move.

Now the position of your own troops is the direction in which the guerrillas are moving.

But the headquarters did not ask them to defend and block on the spot, but simply said that all the escape routes of the guerrillas had been blocked.

Sergeant Cao, on the other hand, seemed a bit worried. He had long heard that the Tuba Road guerrillas could go to the sky and enter the earth. It was bragging in the sky, but he had seen it many times.

Obviously, the village where they are stationed now probably has tunnels.

But after marching for a long time during the day and arriving at the village when it was getting dark, the sergeant organized puppet troops to search for tunnels everywhere in the village, but unfortunately, nothing was found!

Sergeant Cao knew very well that there must be a tunnel dug by Tubalu in the village. As for whether or not the Balu is hidden, it's hard to judge!

Maybe Balu knew that the imperial army was sweeping over and blocked all the tunnel entrances in advance. Through the door openings without doors, he saw that the village was full of earthen walls of houses that had been pushed down not long ago. Maybe the tunnel entrances were under those earthen walls.

And he didn't have time to dig those mice out of their holes right now.

Thinking that there was no way to find out those mice hiding in the ground, Sergeant Cao felt even more irritable.

If you don't obey the second lieutenant's order, and stay in this village for ten and a half months, you will definitely starve to death or force the rats underground!
It's a pity that the headquarters issued a strict order this time and must obey the unified command!
You can only stay in this village for one night, and it's really meaningless to spend all your time trying to find those mouse holes!
The eyes looking at the map began to blur, and the small eyes narrowed and became smaller and smaller, and the sergeant sat there and fell asleep.

In the kitchen next to him, a pair of bright eyes flickered in the hole of the stove that was pressed by the downturned wall.

Bang, a gunshot suddenly came from the north of the village, clear and loud, and suddenly woke up the night.

The puppet soldiers in the village immediately got out of the dilapidated house in panic.

The ghost soldier also woke up, immediately put away the things on the table, ran out of the yard, and ran to the village entrance to the north in the direction of the gun.

When he arrived at the entrance to the northern village, he pulled the rifle horizontally and did a front somersault, lying on the ground, then pointed the gun at the darkness, widened his eyes, trying to see the situation in the north of the village under the moonlight, and he admired his skilled tactical moves.

"Report to the majesty, the position of the firing gun is north to east, about 400 meters away!" The puppet military observation post next to him hurriedly reported with gestures.

The ghost's Chinese level is not good, so he didn't understand at all, but he could understand the four fingers and the direction the puppet army pointed.

With a dark face, the devil followed the direction pointed by the puppet army, and decided to wait for the guerrillas to fire another shot.

Bang, second shot.

Unfortunately, the location where the gun was fired was in the south of the village. The devil froze for a moment, shook his head and looked behind him, but couldn't see anything, so he had to judge secretly: the guerrillas should be preparing to harass, could it be... this is the enemy stationed in the legend of Tuba Road disturb?

While guessing whether the next shot should be east or west, another shot was fired from the east.

The habitual guess is that the next shot should be to the west!
Bang, as the devil wished, another shot was fired from the west.

Sergeant Cao felt a little proud.

He even looked nervously at the north, so now it's the turn of the north to shoot again?

Expectation
north.

A soldier pulled the trigger, and the squad leader next to him immediately laughed: "What are you doing, it's your turn, wouldn't you know how to make a cold shot?"

"I'm sorry, squad leader, why can't the bolt be pulled?"

"There are too many things to do with this broken gun. Hurry up and kick it with your feet." The squad leader next to him immediately gave on-site guidance.

The soldier believed it, and quickly pulled the gun back, slammed the bolt with his foot, and finally ejected the cartridge case.

The squad leader continued to explain: "Let me tell you, this gun has this strange problem. After firing the gun, the gun will heat up. If a little soil gets in at this time, the bolt will get stuck. I usually ask you to practice maintenance. Pull the bolt a few times, you still don’t believe me, now you understand? If you are really on the battlefield, if you fail to load the bullet, just at this moment, the enemy may rush in front of you, and then you will gain You cry."

There was no movement in the north, nor in the other directions.

This made the sergeant at the entrance of the village a little dumbfounded. The legendary eight-way guerrilla tactics meant that the enemy stationed and harassed us. Could it be that one shot in all directions would be enough?
After waiting for a while, there was only one gunshot from all four directions, indicating that there are probably not many guerrillas coming.
Do you think that if you harass outside the village, there is nothing I can do about you?
There are garrisons in all the villages near the location where the gun was fired. According to the pre-war arrangement, they should have dispatched troops to surround the gunshot. advance!
This is the most classic encirclement tactic in the infantry drills. As long as you enter the encirclement, then no one of you can escape!
The coordination ability of the Royal Association Army may not be very good, but under the guidance of the elites, it is not difficult to form an encirclement circle.

So, in the village near Xianggun, the puppet troops who had completed their assembly began to pull apart according to the training requirements.

Holding a rifle and carrying a machine gun, he didn't move towards the place where the gun was fired, but pulled away like a ray towards the nearby village under the moonlight.

According to the plan, first form a line, and finally surround and shrink to eliminate those harassing guerrillas.

"Report, the enemies in the nearby villages have all come out. The information we got is accurate. It is exactly as the information said, and they are preparing to surround us!"

"Okay! Hey, have the mines been set off?" Chen Chong excitedly looked at the village in the distance!
"Hey, hang up early, just wait for the puppet soldiers to try it out!" A squad leader behind him was full of expectations.

This battle is a bit special. A company of puppet troops and a squad of devils who supervised the battle were stationed in the village.

And in the underground, a row of eight roads followed the monkey grandson who got into the belly of Princess Iron Fan, as for the result.

No one knows now, but everyone is looking forward to the next battle to test the results of their respective combat plans.

In response to the devil's spring security purge plan and the enemy's possible mopping tactics, the division has already formulated a variety of combat plans according to the terrain.

As for the main force of the mopping up was the security forces, it was a bit unexpected.

But this is not important, the encirclement of the enemy's cage or split into a joint attack. Still playing this old trick, the method of dealing with it is not complicated: concentrate troops, attack a little, and succeed in one blow, never love to fight, and immediately flee thousands of miles away.

One of the most important reasons for the division to reopen the canceled Anti-Japanese University is to promote the use of landmines, a big killer, in combat.

The main function of landmines is to destroy transportation, delay enemy attacks, provide early warning for defense, and even restrict enemy actions when used properly.

It is only beneficial to the defensive side!
Due to the insufficient quality and quantity of gunpowder, the Eighth Route Army's self-made landmines were not very powerful, and a short-range explosion could not even kill an enemy at all, but the sound and shock wave during the explosion would definitely hurt one or two.

In this way, it will definitely pose a great psychological threat to the mopping up enemies!
At that time, it may not be safe to walk on a large road or open a door. I wonder how he can live in this day?
