Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 247 Chapter 246, Night Battle
After thinking about it, Captain Ito finally realized a problem, that is, the regiment commander only asked all the troops to prevent the Eighth Route Army's surprise attack, but did not stop the troops from taking the initiative to attack!
Thinking of this, in line with the fine tradition of the lower to overcome the upper, Ito could no longer sleep peacefully! He turned over and stood up from the ground, turned around and cleared the tent, found the adjutant of the brigade, and gave him some instructions.

After receiving the order from his captain, the adjutant did not dare to delay and immediately picked up the phone and started calling the attacking force in the east.

As soon as the call was connected, the adjutant of the brigade issued an order to mobilize the troops in the east to attack Liangjia Village at night.

Why the attacking force from the east? Because they suffered a great loss in the west today, so they naturally have to avoid this side! What if the defense force in the east is very weak? ? The second reason is that the captain of the squadron in the east is called Shimomoto Ishito, who has a complete infantry squadron under his command, and 4 Type heavy machine guns, and two Imperial Army squadrons are around.

That's right, this Xiayuan squadron leader was the one who led the Japanese attack team to attack Tianjiazhai. But before they reached Tianjiazhai, they were ordered to return and then detoured to the east of Liangjia Village.

It was precisely because they went all the way to Tianjiazhai and then returned, that the Japanese soldiers in Xiayuan did not witness the battle in the evening and were not afraid of the sturdy village defense fortifications.

After all, the call was connected by the regiment's telephone team, and the Xiayuan Squadron went over after the telephone line was connected, so the two sides did not meet each other.

In the east of Liangjia Village, Xia Yuan Shi Teng put down the phone and exhaled softly: "Order, the kitchen team prepares dinner and wakes up everyone. At 3 a.m., launch an attack on the village ahead!"

As Xia Yuan's order was issued, the Japanese cooks immediately started working by the campfire to prepare dinner for the Japanese. At the same time, the two puppet army squadrons received orders to eat and prepare for battle.

Time passed quietly, and soon it was 2:50 a.m. On the river bank east of the village, the Xiayuan Squadron of the Japanese army was in front, and the two squadrons of the puppet army were behind, following the mountain road under the moonlight, heading towards Liangjia Village.

Liangjia Village did not place a guard post outside, so the Japanese soldiers walked here and were not discovered. However, this does not mean that there is no defense outside Liangjia Village!
When a Japanese soldier stepped through the grass on the side of the road, he felt tripped by something, but he didn't care. The roadside was full of vines in summer, so stumbling was inevitable, and the Japanese soldier didn't think about it in other ways.

However, only 3 seconds later, the Japanese soldier had just walked out two steps when there was a bang behind him! The Japanese soldier felt something suddenly push his back, and he flew out in a spin, knocking over several comrades in front of him.

And then? There was nothing else. The back of this devil was covered with wounds, and even his chest had piercing wounds. With such injuries, he would die on the spot!
Looking around the explosion point, there was a circle of Japanese soldiers, some lying down or lying prone, about a dozen of them.

"Baka!" Captain Ishihara was at the rear of the team. When he heard the explosion, he cursed: "These cunning Eighth Route Army soldiers, these abominable mines, these stupid soldiers..."

"Since we've been exposed, let's attack with all our might! Order, 1th Squadron of the 7st Battalion of the Imperial Army, immediately pass through the woods and attack towards the village! 6th Squadron, immediately attack straight ahead! Quickly!"

Ishihara maintained the usual style of the Japanese, with the puppet troops who were ready to die at the forefront. This was the method they had tried and tested yesterday afternoon.

The two puppet army squadron leaders who received the order knew that they could not escape tonight, so they resigned themselves to their fate and let the two Japanese soldiers follow them, urging their men to attack towards the east of Liangjia Village.

"Ha, there's no need to wait for the devils to sneak in. The mines at the entrance of the village have been triggered and we've been exposed!" Hu Lanzhou said disdainfully in the village and fired a shot into the air decisively. Bang... The crisp sound of the gun, coupled with the explosion just now, woke up the soldiers who were resting in the village and picked up their weapons to prepare for battle. The soldiers of the 1st Company who had been guarding the fortifications on the east wall of the village had already raised their weapons and pointed their guns outside the village in the dark, waiting for the devils to arrive.

"Password!"

"Fight the enemy, reply!"

"Serve the country!" After a simple process, Zhao Danian brought Li Yuexuan and other cadres to Hu Lanzhou.

"What's the situation? Where do the enemies come from?" Zhao Danian asked first.

"The mine in the east has exploded. It sounds like it's on the stone road west of the river bank! It's more than 400 meters away from us!" said Hu Lanzhou.

"Got it. You guys stay on guard and guard against the Japanese coming from the south and west! If anything happens, fire three warning shots!" Zhao Danian said, and then he turned to Li Yuexuan, "Peregrine, you and the artillery platoon will continue to stay in the fortifications west of the village to deal with emergencies! I have to go to the east of the village to look for Lao Guo! The east of the village is mostly woods and our martial arts training grounds. There is no good shooting range, so it's not easy to fight!"

"Haven't we set up a minefield in the woods? Unless the Japanese are willing to sacrifice their lives, it will be difficult for them to get close to the wall in a short period of time, right? Besides, there are trenches outside the wall!" said Li Yuexuan.

"It's hard to say, let's go and take a look! Remember the signal gun we seized? If everyone needs to retreat into the tunnel, I will fire a signal flare into the sky! Okay, the signalman will tell everyone the news immediately! Squad 3, follow me!" After Zhao Danian finished speaking, he led Squad 3 along the main street and headed east.

When Zhao Danian arrived near the east entrance of the village, the Japanese had not yet reached the woods east of the village and were still wandering on the mountain road. This made Zhao Danian breathe a sigh of relief.

"Old Guo, how are the preparations going on your side?" Zhao Danian asked after finding Captain Guo.

"Hehe, you are good at fighting during the day, but we are not bad at night fighting! After all, we had a battle the night before last, and we all know how to fight! By the way, let your vanguard squad quickly remove the landmines at the entrance of the village. We will block the entrance to the village with sandbags, and then we will fight hard!" said Captain Guo.

"Okay, let's block the entrance to the village!" Zhao Danian thought about it and agreed with Captain Guo's idea. Since we have to defend the village, we should not leave a gap at the entrance. In that case, even if there are mines, it will easily become a breakthrough point for the enemy. If we use something to block the entrance to the village, the progress of the Japanese attack will be hindered, which can provide time for the troops in the village to retreat or counterattack.

To the west of the village, Li Yuexuan did not enter the bunker, but also came to the village entrance. Looking through the gap at the village entrance and looking at the bumpy farmland to the west, Li Yuexuan waved and shouted, "Come on, bring over those sour jujube trees we collected, and block the entrance of the village with the big heads facing outwards. Remember to block more!"
