At three o'clock in the afternoon, the team leader who was walking in the middle of the team finally saw today's destination Liujiazhuang.

The vanguard squadron stopped at the entrance of the village, and an infantry squad rushed into the village in combat formations to ensure there was no danger inside.

The captain of the regiment nodded repeatedly when he saw it, very satisfied with the cautiousness of the forward squadron leader.

After the troops entered the National Salvation Military Defense Zone, more than twenty villages and towns were captured and passed by. Each village was empty and it was difficult to see even livestock, let alone people.

The corps leader knew that all the Chinese in the village were transferred away by the National Salvation Army.

But he was not worried at all. As long as everyone could kill the National Savior Army in the next sweep, the people who had no support would naturally return to the village and accept the rule of the Imperial Army.

As expected, there was no one in Liujiazhuang in front, but the forward squadron still sent people to the village to investigate. This cautious attitude is worthy of everyone's recognition and learning.

"Baoba...daoba..."

A burst of gunfire sounds suddenly came from the quiet Liujiazhuang, shocking all the Japanese, including the captain of the regiment.

The wing captain responded the fastest, quickly raised his telescope, stared at the direction of the gunfire, and ordered as he looked: "There is a national-savior army in the village, Otanjun, transfer your people to the village immediately, don't let them run away!"

The village was too big, and under the cover of the house, the corps leader could only hear gunshots and could not see anything.

After searching for half a minute, I couldn't find the figure of the troops entering the village. When I heard the gunshots in the village became increasingly dense, and explosions were heard, the corps leader decisively put down his telescope and jogged towards the village quickly.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw Major Oda running towards me: "Captain of the regiment, we have surrounded the village, and no one ran out, but a small team that just entered the village just now died in the village!"

The losses of a small team are not in the eyes of the regiment commander. What he cares most about now is how many national-savior troops the troops have surrounded.

On the battlefield on the first day of the sweeping raid, although he lost five or six hundred subordinates, the National Salvation Army also left nearly two hundred corpses in the battles.

The only opponent is the Fourth Battalion of the National Salvation Army, and only 800 people are calculated according to the standard of a strengthening battalion.

Two hundred people were killed by himself in the blocking battle, and one hundred people were killed by himself in the three-day marching. At this moment, there should be five hundred people.

If there were three or four hundred people in the National Salvation Army surrounded by the village, they would definitely be the remnants of the four battalions that they would destroy.

Kill them and your mission in this sweep will be almost completed.

Not to mention losing one infantry squad, losing two infantry squadrons can be made.

The corps leader directly ignored Major Oda's report on the loss of an infantry squadron, stared at him and asked one of his most concerned questions: "Can you tell how many national rescue troops are surrounded in the village?"

Major Oda quickly replied: "There is at least one company!"

"During the exchange of fire just now, Bei Yi heard nearly ten machine guns shooting. The troops we entered the village were only equipped with three machine guns, and the rest must be from the National Savior Army!"

The judgment of the subordinates was still far from the three or four hundred people he imagined. Although the captain of the corps was a little disappointed, this judgment was not necessarily accurate. After all, there was only one small team in the army that entered the village just now.

With the combat effectiveness and equipment level of the National Salvation Army, a company could completely eat him. Even if they hid two companies in the village, it would be impossible for them to expose all their troops and firepower for a single infantry team.

To take a step back, even if there is really only one company in the village, killing them is equivalent to killing half of the troops of the remnants of the fourth battalion, greatly reducing the pressure and risks of the troops to sweep the next sweep.

With this idea, the corps leader began to give orders as soon as he heard Major Oda's report: "All artillery soldiers are ready, and cover the village with artillery fire ten minutes later, razed the hidden place of the National Rescue Army to the ground, and then attack."

The company commander of the 12th Company, Peng Jun, was commanding the troops to clean the battlefield in the village and was in a very happy mood.

The troops attacked and attacked more than 50 Japanese troops entering the village in a raid. In addition, the troops hid in the dark and the Japanese stayed in the open. At the beginning of the battle, they were suppressed and beaten by the 12th Company.

More than twenty Japanese soldiers surrounded the team leader, trying to occupy two yards and wait for help.

As a result, the Japanese army had just prepared for defense in the yard when several grenades emitting white smoke suddenly threw out of the house.

Everyone had just checked the houses in the yard, and there were not even figures inside, so the Japanese dared to concentrate all their troops in the yard and guard them to the wall of the yard, and do their best to prevent the National Rescue Army from approaching the yard.

Even if I beat him to death, I can't figure out how these grenades were thrown out of the house by the National Savior Army.

Of course, they don't have time to think about this issue.

When someone discovered these grenades, the first grenade that flew out of the house happened to explode.

All the Japanese soldiers stood behind the courtyard wall, and their backs were completely exposed in front of the grenades. Unless they were particularly lucky, there would definitely be grenade fragments drilling into their bodies from the back.

These grenades were thrown out of the house by the National Salvation Army. As for how they entered the house, it all attributed to the street fighting fortifications built by the troops last night and this morning in the village.

In order to facilitate the interweaving and transfer of troops, every house and yard in the village were opened and then hidden with cabinets and straw.

After the Japanese entered the house, the 12th Company's soldiers besieged them followed behind.

In order to establish a defense line based on the yard as soon as possible and guard the wait for assistance, the Japanese who inspected the house just glanced at the situation in the house and left. They did not search very carefully, and they did not find the existence of the cave entrance.

When the Japanese left the house, they all gathered in the yard. Several soldiers hidden in the house on the other side of the wall moved and quickly drilled holes into the house that the Japanese had just inspected.

Two grenades in one person hit the Japanese behind and exploded. The Japanese in the yard would be seriously injured if they were not killed...

The fifty Japanese soldiers who entered the village were eaten cleanly by the 12th Company, and they lost less than ten people, and four of them were slightly injured.

Peng Jun is an old Red Army soldier. He is used to living a hard life. When he saw soldiers cleaning the battlefield, he only took guns and bullets. He was so heartbroken that he quickly reminded him!

"Don't just take guns and bullets, take away all the grenades on the Japanese, and take away all the cotton uniforms and cotton shoes. This is a good thing for winter. If we don't use it, we can still support the people in the defense zone!"

"Company Commander, the Japanese outside the village are setting up guns!" The observation post lying on the roof suddenly reminded.

When Peng Jun heard this, he shouted to the soldiers around him: "The Japanese are going to fire the artillery, everyone hurry up and enter the anti-aircraft hole!"

"After the shelling, the troops will freely attack the Japanese according to the combat plan we have agreed on, and rely on the street fighting fortifications we built to fight with the Japanese."

"The guard squad and fire platoon follow me, the reconnaissance squad and the deputy company commander are ready to fight at any time!"

Peng Jun was the last to enter the anti-cannon hole, and then Liujiazhuang returned to peace.

There was no living person except the corpses of the Japanese devils on the ground.

At the entrance of the village, the Japanese army attacked the position. The corps leader stared at the entrance of the village for a while, and then climbed up the rusty buns next to him and looked at the village. He went back and forth several times, trying to see something.

As a result, I saw nothing except one house next to another.

The captain of the mountain cannon squadron suddenly ran over: "Sir, one field cannon and four mountain cannons are ready, and two mortars are also ready to fire, and they can shoot at any time."

The telescope in his hand was unreliable, so the corps leader could only place his hope on the artillery, hoping that they could blow up something when they fired.

Immediately ordered: "Let's fire now, and hit the ball for five minutes first!"

As soon as the captain of the mountain cannon squadron left, the corps leader stared at Otanakasa on the side of the way, ordering: "Gather two infantry squadrons, and then kill into the village as soon as the shelling stops!"

"A five-minute artillery fire attack will definitely kill many national rescue troops."

"Even if the remnants of the Fourth Battalion of the National Salvation Army are all inside, there will be not many people left after the artillery is blown up. The two infantry squadrons will definitely eat them."

“Woo woo woo woo…”

As soon as the commander of the corps captain finished speaking, the scream of shells passing through the sky rang over the head, and a violent explosion followed. A large amount of black smoke quickly rose from the location where the gun was just now in the village!

The captain of the corps held up a telescope and clearly saw a shell blowing a house into pieces. The wheatgrass covered on the roof seemed to be scattering flowers, flying everywhere.

If there is a National Salvation Army hiding in this house, it will definitely be torn to pieces by shells.

More and more shells hit the village and exploded, and more black smoke was rising. In addition, the smoke and dust in the sky were filled with gunpowders. Even with the telescope, the captain couldn't see the situation in the village, and could only wait for the shelling to end.

In five minutes, the Japanese army fired more than 700 shells at the village entrance.

It is already difficult to find a house intact in the village filled with smoke.

The courtyard wall that separates the village was also blown up and there were gaps everywhere.

Seeing this picture, the team leader was more confident in the subsequent attack.

"Oda Jun, the National Salvation Army hiding in the village will definitely suffer heavy casualties. You will immediately go in and don't give them time to re-establish their positions. Fight quickly and eliminate them as quickly as possible."

Major Oda's confidence was less than that of the corps leader, and he promised loudly: "Don't worry, sir, I will lead the troops to kill him later, and I will guarantee that a soldier of the country-savior soldier will not leave the village alive!"

After saying that, he rushed towards the entrance of the village with his command knife on his waist.

After joining with the troops under his command, he pulled out his command knife and pointed forward. The team of nearly 400 people seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, holding a rifle and a machine gun, and yelled toward the village.

The dozens of soldiers in front of them were as if they had divine help, and they did not encounter any resistance and easily rushed into the village where the smoke had not yet dissipated.

What surprised the captain was that there was no gun in the village, and the offensive troops were about to rush into a squadron. The village was still very quiet, as if no one was defending it.
Chapter completed!
