Rise From Eight Hundred

Gu Xishui's two special operations teams have been staying 400 meters outside the village, closely monitoring the surrounding situation.

10 students were responsible for moving all the bodies of the Japanese soldiers to a house in the village for storage, while the guard platoon soldiers in the village worked with the villagers to dig the small pond in the village that had been dry for several years. More than 30 people jumped into the earth pit of more than one meter and dug the pond as deep as they could. Then they wrapped all the villagers who died in the war with cotton sheets at home and buried them in the pond.

There was no time to make a coffin. This was the last dignity that the villagers of Xiaozhuang Village and the guard platoon soldiers could give to the dead.

In order to prevent being discovered by the Japanese army, there was no grave mound or tombstone here, just a flat land covered with dry soil for camouflage.

Except for the relatives who were about to travel far away with a handful of soil in their bags, no one knew that seventeen villagers who died because of resisting the Japanese army were buried under this land.

The 23 killed Japanese soldiers did not have a chance to rest in peace. After the villagers of Xiaozhuang Village packed up the bedding and food they could take away, Lao Hei ordered to set fire to the morgue, which was already piled with a lot of firewood and soaked in cotton oil.

Destroy the bodies!

The Japanese infantry's rifles, belts, smuggled goods, helmets, leather boots and everything that could prove their identity were looted by the soldiers and directly equipped to the 18 people who were going to join the army.

Even if the Japanese army found this place in the future, they would only find a pile of ashes and unburned human bones. They would have no way of knowing whether they were Chinese or Japanese.

Not only did Lao Hei set the morgue on fire, he also went all out and set the entire Xiaozhuang Village on fire. Anyone who came to see it would only think that this was a small Chinese village that had been completely looted, and the human bones in the ruins had a place to come from.

Lao Hei concealed it very carefully, and in the end, the unfortunate children of the 36th Infantry Brigade did not find the squad that disappeared out of thin air. In the next few days, the small-scale attacks that broke out in this area had actually put this squad on the death list in the minds of officers at all levels of the 36th Infantry Brigade. It was just that the bodies were not found, and finally 23 people including Okamoto Asahiro could only be included in the missing list.

Lao Hei and the soldiers of the guard platoon gave all the money they had to the villagers of Xiaozhuang Village, and collected a total of 50 money. In order to ensure safety along the way, they also gave the two captured Nanbu Type 14 pistols and 50 rounds of pistol bullets to the two leading villagers, and taught them how to shoot and load bullets.

The villagers were very grateful, and used door panels as stretchers to carry six seriously injured villagers. At noon, they said goodbye to the 18 people who joined the army in the village in tears and fled all the way to the south.

As for where they would eventually flee to, no one knew or asked, but the 18 people who joined the army and the people who left their homes knew one thing, that when the war was over, all of them would return to their hometown.

This is their root.

However, no one can be sure whether the separated people can meet again.

After bidding farewell to the villagers of Xiaozhuang Village, the guard platoon was also divided into two by Lao Hei. One guard squad was responsible for taking 18 recruits and 10 students to leave this place and go to the mountains, first to meet up with Leng Feng's company, and then to catch up with the main force.

The other two guard squads continued to operate in this area with Gu Xishui's special operations team.

Lao Hei knew that since the Japanese could attack the small villages in this area, they would definitely attack other villages.

They couldn't do it at the infantry squadron level, but they could still kill those at the level of this infantry squad.

In Jinling City, heavy troops can be gathered to make the Chinese army unable to fight, but here, if you have the courage to send a small team to harass the vast countryside, you must be prepared to be killed.

Lao Hei and Gu Xishui, without the guidance of Tang Dao, have understood the essence of guerrilla warfare.

War is the best stage for soldiers, and some people are destined to shine in it.

For four days, two guard squads and a special operations team launched six attacks within a radius of 20 kilometers, annihilating a total of 90 Japanese soldiers from six infantry squads.

Some crazy Japanese soldiers also destroyed three villages in succession.

The villagers who were originally unwilling to leave their homes and evacuate finally gave up their fantasies after seeing the brutality of the Japanese army. A large number of villagers packed up their only valuables and food and fled south with the whole village.

This is the only thing Tang Dao can do. If he didn't do this, the villagers here would probably be killed by those beasts.

Fortunately, this is Jiangbei, not Jinling City, and there is still a way to retreat.

The Japanese commander who finally reacted was furious and gathered two infantry squadrons to drive away the villagers in two villages respectively, trying to attract attackers by sweeping the villages.

Undoubtedly, this is the weakness of Chinese soldiers.

They succeeded!

In one of the places, the Chinese soldiers finally could not bear to remain indifferent to the brutality of the Japanese army. As Niu Er took the lead in shooting and killing a Japanese captain with a hideous face, the guerrilla war turned into an encounter war and eventually evolved into a chase war.

Both sides were light infantry, and no one had a cannon. With the help of the special operations team, the two guard squads, each with two guns, blocked the attack of an infantry squadron and retreated.

The Japanese infantry squadron, which could track the prey and judge that the enemy would never be more than one infantry platoon, did not give up and followed the two guard squads to the edge of the mountain area six kilometers away.

Then, they encountered the crazy attack of Leng Feng's company, which had already set up an ambush.

Leng Feng, the commander of the main company, was demoted to a soldier. He was already full of anger. Now that he finally had a crowd to vent his anger, why not beat them to death?

In order to strengthen the firepower of the first company, before the main force of the independent battalion withdrew, almost 50% of the submachine gun bullets of the entire battalion were left to the first company. They also allocated an MG34 machine gun and a firepower squad equipped with a Japanese 25mm twin machine gun to them, just in case the Japanese army brought armored equipment such as the Type 94 or Type 89 tanks.

Light infantry would pay an unimaginable price in front of such armored vehicles.

Tang Dao overestimated the old rival, the 36th Infantry Brigade. Now, let alone equipping the infantry squadron with armored vehicles, even the only artillery battalion did not dare to leave the city for a moment.

Moreover, in this battlefield where they thought they had already won, the troops sent out to search the village were pure infantry, and the most powerful heavy weapon of this infantry squadron lured by the two guard squads was just two Type 92 heavy machine guns.

The battle was one-sided from the beginning.

The two Type 92 heavy machine guns were killed within 2 minutes after the battle started.

That was the masterpiece of two mortars.

The two mortars of Leng Feng's company were placed on a hill 500 meters away from the battlefield. The Japanese grenade launchers posed no threat to them at all, as they were beyond the effective range of the grenade launchers.

The two mortars were completely able to defeat all the Japanese firepower points.

When several Japanese firepower points were knocked down and the grenade launchers were suppressed by the company's precision shooters with bullets so that they dared not even show their heads, several heavy firepower points of the company began to show their power.

The terrifying firing rate of the MG34 machine gun only made the Japanese infantrymen lie in the dust and cry sadly, but when the 25mm twin-mounted machine gun, which is often used for air defense on warships, began to show its power, the Japanese infantrymen's hearts were completely filled with eyes.

The 25mm shells that can penetrate 10mm steel plates within 500 meters can not only hit the earthen bunkers in the mountains, but also rocks.

Once the Japanese infantrymen behind the simple natural bunkers were targeted by this kind of firearms, they were basically shattered together with the bunkers by the shells.

But this thing is not a machine gun after all, the firing rate is limited, and it basically targets important firepower points such as grenade launchers and light machine guns. The Japanese infantrymen who have long held the idea of ​​"I would rather die than die than die" can still hold on.

But when the Chinese soldiers, who were constantly covered by their own firepower and advancing, showed the MP28 submachine guns and Mauser pistols familiar to the Japanese army, and showed them in groups, the mentality of the Japanese infantry, who had long lost their courage yesterday, completely collapsed.

It's very simple. They are too familiar with that posture.

In Songjiang, Jiashan, and Jiaxing, they were killed to death by such enemies in such a posture.

An infantry squad at the back fled first, and then caused an avalanche-like escape. I don't know how many Japanese soldiers exposed their backs to crazy bullets and then fell down, but this still couldn't stop their determination to escape.

This scene, not to mention the ten student soldiers led by Fang Shiheng and 18 new recruits who insisted on waiting for the old black guard platoon, and 18 new recruits who participated in the battle for the first time were stunned, even the company who was used to fighting the Japanese head-on was stunned.

When did the Japanese become so weak? This is unreasonable.

In fact, this is very reasonable.

A guy who is pressed to the ground by the same opponent as soon as he meets him will have psychological trauma no matter how strong he is.

It can be said that the independent battalion is the first victim of the 36th Infantry Brigade. After finding that they will encounter the same forced entry "posture" again, the unlucky children are stupid if they don't run away!

The chain reaction caused by the collapse of mentality and running away is that everyone is running for their lives, and finally a one-sided massacre.

A reinforced infantry company against an infantry squadron, the entire battle process did not take 20 minutes, and almost wiped out the Japanese army.

The Japanese army left a full 120 corpses and a dozen semi-finished products with a breath left here. No more than 10 people can leave the battlefield alive.

The infantry squadron that was still running towards this side two kilometers away in an attempt to support the friendly forces returned almost without thinking after encountering their own defeated soldiers, which was three times faster than the speed of the reinforcements.

In the month since then, the 36th Infantry Brigade has not sent out squad-level or even squadron-level infantry to operate in this area. Even when they came to this area to collect the bodies of their colleagues three days later, they dispatched three infantry squadrons and a baggage train.

Those who knew the inside story knew that they were going to use horse-drawn carriages and trucks to transport the bodies, while those who didn't thought that they were going to attack the city and plunder the land in a show of force again!

The sadness in the hearts of the dejected large-scale corpse collection team may only be best understood by the unlucky children of the 36th Infantry Brigade.

They all won the Battle of Nanjing, but those Chinese were still staring at them and fighting. This is really too much.

I won't come out, is that not enough?

As for the first company and the guard platoon, their gains were not only to beat the 36th Infantry Brigade into submission again, but they also really dug up some treasures in the past few days.
