Chapter 460 Autumn Harvest and Winter 18

The three women must keep smiling during the day, but at night they burst into tears. In this situation where they are in vain and are strictly guarded, they are not even likely to die.

On the evening of the fifth day, the Sixth Squadron of the Second Brigade of the Ninth Detachment, led by the squadron leader Chen Zengshun, quietly approached the small village. Chen Zengshun led his troops out this time, which was the order issued by the execution detachment headquarters to reinforce the New Fifth Army.

When the Ninth Detachment came to northern Henan, their main combat has always been carried out in their own defense zone. Several of the larger battles were defensive operations. Such active attacks only occur frequently when the railway destruction team attacked.

**The army has a very prominent feature of fighting wars, that is, fighting with the wind is easy, and fighting against the wind will lead to defeat. Therefore, maintaining the morale of soldiers is particularly important for the commander of a unit. In order to ensure victory in the first battle to boost morale, Li Qinglin ordered the troops that went to fight must undergo strict reconnaissance before they can open fire.

There is a Japanese army stationed in Zhongguo Village. The news has been learned by the reconnaissance team. The person in charge of the reconnaissance team responsible for the Xiashangou area is Gan Yuanbin.

Gan Yuanbin and two investigators arrived at Zhongguo Village at around 4 pm. On the small high ground near the village, Gan Yuanbin, wearing plain clothes, held a telescope in his hand and carefully observed the not-so-large village.

It was not long since Gan Yuanbin found that there were puppet troops standing guard at the hidden location at the entrance of the village, and Japanese and puppet troops entering and leaving in several rooms in the middle of the village. The enemy's activities were not active at that time. Although Gan Yuanbin knew that there were enemies in the village, the specific number of enemies at that time was not certain.

If the enemy did not come out, Gan Yuanbin decided to wait slowly. When lunch time, the enemy would have to make a fire to cook. At that time, just count the number of chimneys that were smoking, and you could roughly judge how many enemies there were.

In the evening, chimneys began to smoke in the village. Gan Yuanbin counted and smoke came out of four chimneys. Because he had learned that more than a dozen villagers had been captured into the village, Gan Yuanbin believed that the other three chimneys should be cooked by the Japanese and puppet troops. According to this, there should be two or three rows of enemies in the village.

The enemy has not yet noticed that the Ninth Detachment is approaching here. Gan Yuanbin called a scout and asked him to bring the situation he had detected to the squadron leader Chen Zengshun behind.

After receiving the information, Chen Zengshun thought about it in his mind. According to the practice of the Ninth Detachment and the actual combat effectiveness of the enemy and us, if his troops were more than three times the opponent's troops, the Ninth Detachment would never attack first. Chen Zengshun immediately asked the messenger to report to the captain in the rear, and he led his subordinates to approach Zhongguo Village.

Chen Zengshun's team actually landed not far behind the reconnaissance team. They soon arrived on the small high ground where Gan Yuanbin was. Under Gan Yuanbin's guidance, Chen Zengshun also held a telescope and was carefully observing the enemy situation.

It gradually darkened, and the supper in Zhongguo Village seemed to have been prepared. Several houses started to light oil lamps. Strangely, only two yards had torches lighted. Some people were entering and leaving the two yards, while others were quietly no one was moving.

Chen Zengshun, who has rich combat experience, has already figured out the enemy in the village. The enemy in the village is not as much as Gan Yuanbin said. Chen Zengshun believes that at most there are only two platoons of troops in the village.

The Sixth Squadron is now basically full, with a total number of more than 100 people. If calculated based on the number of people, it would not be a risk to launch an attack at this time. At that time, only the approximate number of enemies, whether they have built fortifications, and where the specific location of the fortifications is. These situations have not been fully understood. Chen Zengshun decided to observe them first.

Just as Shen Zengshun was observing patiently, there was a sudden commotion in Zhongguo Village. A woman with torches suddenly rushed out of the yard in the middle of the village. There was a light on her body behind her. Behind the woman, a Japanese soldier with his lower body was chasing her. The Japanese soldier covered his bloody ears and was still shouting something in his mouth.

There were two puppet soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the yard. The woman rushed to the door and was stopped. Hearing this scream, two more Japanese soldiers rushed out of the room. They held bayonets in their hands and forced the woman to a corner of the yard. Finally, they tied the light-body woman with a rope and tied it to a pillar in the yard.

At this time, a Japanese soldier came to the gate of the yard. He shouted something to the puppet army. One of the puppet soldiers immediately carried a gun and ran to another yard. Another Japanese soldier in the yard took out his backpack, took out gauze and medicine from it, and began to bandage the wounds of the Japanese soldier who was covering his ears.

After a while, several puppet soldiers escorted a few people to the yard. In front of the Chinese, the Japanese soldiers began to whip the tied woman. The Japanese attack was obviously extremely fierce, and blood marks appeared on the woman's body soon. The woman who couldn't bear to eat and hurt began to shout for help, while the fierce Japanese still kept fighting, and he became more and more vigorous.

The man who was taken in obviously could not suppress his anger. He rushed over to the puppet army who was guarding the custody and rushed towards the murderer. Before the man approached the Japanese, he had already stabbed a sharp bayonet. The man who rushed over could not dodge and was stabbed in the chest by the bayonet. He fell into a pool of blood.

The Japanese soldier who stabbed the man was not satisfied. He lifted the 38th cover and stabbed the woman tied to the pillar!

The Japanese soldiers were already red in their eyes, and the Chinese in the yard would be difficult to escape the fate of being massacred! Chen Zengshun could no longer bear to watch. He pulled out his pistol and shouted to the team behind the red eyes: "Brothers, the Japanese are killing our brothers and sisters, can we sit still and watch?"

"No!" the soldiers shouted in unison.

"Brothers, kill! Kill the Japanese and avenge the fellow villagers!" Chen Zengshun shouted, and he was the first to rush out with a pistol.

Under the leadership of Shen Zengshun, the Chinese soldiers, who were indignant, rushed towards the Japanese and puppet troops in Zhongguo Village without any firepower preparations.

"Bang!", a gunshot broke the tranquility. It turned out that the alert puppet army fired and warned. Immediately afterwards, the puppet army in the village shouted wildly: "** is here, ** is here!"

Watanabe had just bandaged his subordinates, and the sudden gunfire made him jump up. He picked up the command knife and shouted: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The other two Japanese soldiers also carried the 38th gaze and forced the puppet army to start the defense.

Under the leadership of Shen Zengshun, all the personnel of the Sixth Squadron took the battle. They hurriedly rushed towards Zhongguo Village with guns and waists.

The Japanese and puppet troops began to shoot, and the ** in the attack also began to shoot back. Although it was an attack in a hurry, the well-trained officers and soldiers of the Sixth Squadron still maintained a relatively neat formation. Some soldiers attacked in the front and some soldiers shot to cover the back. The Sixth Squadron, which had an absolute advantage in number, quickly attacked the village.

No wonder Watanabe and the others could not withstand the attack of the Sixth Squadron. In Nakagor Village, Watanabe had only two Japanese soldiers and a platoon of puppet troops. Their most powerful firepower was the Czech light machine gun of the puppet army.

Before starting the attack, Chen Zengshun was a little worried that there would be a huge gap in strength between the enemy and us. Now that the war has officially started, he found that the number of enemies is not large and the firepower is also very poor. Chen Zengshun's hanging heart was finally relieved.

The sixth squadron, seven or eight, all launched a fire, and bullets shot towards the Japanese and puppet troops who were defending the walls of the houses, and the firepower of the Japanese and puppet troops was completely suppressed.

The enemy's counterattack was weak, and the morale of the Sixth Squadron immediately surged. The soldiers shouted, ran and shot. They alternately covered and rushed over without caring about their past puppet hiding place.

Watanabe was very calm at this time. He had already judged from the gunshots that the other party had the advantage in strength. The soldiers on his side had already begun to panic. Watanabe believed that even if he insisted on resisting, he would not be able to escape the fate of being annihilated.

Watanabe, who was extremely clear-headed, finally issued an order: "Retreat!"

The Imperial Army had actually been ready to escape, and they were also best at escaping. As soon as Watanabe's retreat order was issued, these puppet soldiers wearing imperial uniforms and five-color republican hat badge ran away. Some people even threw away guns in order to run faster. In this way, Watanabe and his two soldiers became the people who fell at the end of the team.

The Japanese and puppet troops fled in panic in front. The officers and soldiers of the Sixth Squadron did not expect that a charge could drive the Japanese and puppet troops away. The morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly boosted, and their pursuit speed was getting faster. Some officers and soldiers even chased and shouted, "Catch the live ones! Catch the live ones!"

The Japanese soldiers were different from the Imperial Army. The two Japanese soldiers under Watanabe did not just escape. They stopped from time to time during the escape and turned around and shot at the pursuers.

"Eight Hooks!", "Eight Hooks!", people in the pursuit were constantly injured and fell to the ground.

Seeing that his soldiers were casualties from time to time, Chen Zengshun was furious. He shouted to the machine gunner: "Want, why are you still standing there? Killing one to death."

If the Japanese prisoners could be captured at this time, the Military Commission would give a large bonus. The machine gunners of the Sixth Squadron thought they would really want to catch them alive, so the firepower had deliberately decreased a lot during this period. Now the squadron leader has ordered these Japanese soldiers to be killed, and the machine gunners are energetic. These machine gunners aim steadily and then shoot carefully. The Czech-style bullets were like fire whips, and they began to suck the fleeing Japanese and puppet soldiers.

Watanabe is running desperately. Watanabe, who has experienced the Taierzhuang battle, has a very direct impression of the Chinese team. He knows very well that the Chinese soldiers who are crazy are the most terrifying!

"Puu!" A soldier who was following Watanabe on the left was hit by a bullet and fell to the ground!
