Chapter 687 Lead the little devil into the village
In addition to sending troops for support, Chuan Yuezhi also immediately sent a telegram to the support squadron outside the city, informing them that the number of Chinese troops was not large.
In order to find the Chinese army that attacked them as soon as possible and fight quickly to prevent the Chinese army from gathering in a short time.
It has to be said that Kawazuki Chi's keen sense of smell on the battlefield is truly top-notch.
If he is allowed to lead troops on the front lines in battles, it is possible that he will be promoted to commander of the regiment in the future, let alone captain.
But the opponent he met was Zhao Zhiguo.
After the Japanese squadron leader sent out the scouts, he originally wanted to build fortifications on the spot to prevent the Chinese army from attacking them again from unexpected places.
But before their scouts could report back information about the enemy's strength, they received orders from Kawazuki Chi.
The Little Japanese army carried out the order without any ambiguity. Before they could repair their defenses, the Little Japanese squadron leader immediately ordered to stop building fortifications and pursue Zhao Zhiguo and his companions in the direction of their escape.
After Zhao Zhiguo and the others left, they chose to rest and wait in a nearby village, and did not notice any Japanese scouts approaching them.
Under the command of Kawazuki Chi, the little devil moved very fast.
Before Qin Dongsheng could lead his troops to join Zhao Zhiguo, the Japs' large army had already appeared near where Zhao Zhiguo and the others were staying.
Fortunately, Zhao Zhiguo asked the sentry to stand on the tree and saw a troop approaching the village from a distance, and immediately reported to Zhao Zhiguo.
Zhao Zhiguo did not hesitate at all. He climbed up to the roof and took a telescope, and found that they were Japanese troops.
"It's the Japs. They have a lot of troops. It seems that we were discovered by the Japs' scouts!"
"Captain, let's withdraw. There are quite a few Japs, at least a squadron of troops. We can take advantage of them before they surround the village."
"Withdraw? Are you kidding? Troops in other directions have already launched operations. If we just let go of the little devils in this squadron, they will go to support other directions and increase pressure on our other troops."
"Captain, why don't you go first and I stay? The instructor specifically emphasized to us before we set off that no matter which team you are with, we must first ensure your safety."
Zhao Zhiguo is the brains of this unit and cannot cause any problems.
As long as Zhao Zhiguo is here, even if this army is defeated, if we recruit more troops in the future and there is enough time, we can still fight.
If Zhao Zhiguo disappears, the troops will lose their morale.
Matthew also crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Of course he understood that a thousand troops are easy to obtain, but a general is difficult to find.
"Nonsense, when did I, Zhao Zhiguo, leave my brother behind and escape?"
"Captain, I'm begging you. If I stay, even if the whole army is wiped out, we won't have any complaints. You are different!"
"Don't think about it. With me here, there is no need to annihilate the whole army. Follow my order. Everyone retreats to the village to hide and must not be exposed. Wait for the little devil to enter the village and wait for my order!"
The leader of the platoon let out a long sigh. He could not stop Zhao Zhiguo, nor could he knock Zhao Zhiguo out and resist him. After all, it was difficult for the three of them to get close to Zhao Zhiguo.
Seeing that a Japanese squadron was getting closer and closer, the platoon leader had no choice but to deploy every firepower point personally.
In fact, the Japanese army was not sure that Zhao Zhiguo's troops were hiding in this village. According to the scouts, the traces disappeared from here.
Therefore, there is a high possibility that the missing Chinese army is hiding in the village in front of you.
The Japanese squadron leader took a telescope and looked at it for a long time. There was no movement in the village. It was as quiet as an ordinary village. There was no trace of troops stationed at all.
In line with the principle of reconnaissance first, then fighting, the Japanese squadron leader decisively sent a small team into the village.
"Captain, the little devils are coming up. There is about a small team, two crooked guns, and the rest are ordinary infantry!"
The little devil had arrived at the entrance of the village, and the platoon leader reported what he saw to Zhao Zhiguo.
"It seems that the Japanese army does not know that we are here, so it will be much easier to handle. Let the brothers take cover and use the sound of my gun as a command."
"Captain, I..."
"Stop talking about asking me to withdraw first. The Japanese troops in this squadron can't leave us alone. Besides, Qin Dongsheng should not be far from here."
The village is not very big, with hundreds of households.
Zhao Zhiguo and the others only had one platoon of troops and could not defend the entire village, so Zhao Zhiguo did not arrange any troops at the entrance of the village.
The little devils only have one squadron, and if they want to search house to house, it will take some time to fully detect the village.
Since the little devil entered the village, they have not found a single figure in the village.
Zhao Zhiguo made a gesture to the platoon leader. The platoon leader immediately understood what Zhao Zhiguo meant and arranged for a soldier to attract the Japs and disperse the Japs' troops.
After the little devils entered the village, they were very vigilant. They were also worried about an ambush in the village, so they gathered together and searched each house with guns.
Suddenly a figure ran past the alley. The little devil immediately became alert and chased in the direction of the figure.
Just as they were pursuing this direction, another figure flashed past in another direction.
The houses in the village are not as neat and uniform as in the city. The alleys you see may extend in all directions, but when you get to the end, you will find that they are dead ends.
The little Japs chased from the left for a while, then from the right. Soon they got confused and the troops dispersed.
"Tell the brothers to kill those who are alone with a knife first!"
Zhao Zhiguo had already climbed up to the roof. He had been keeping an eye on the Japs' machine gunners. Once a fight broke out, he had to knock out the most threatening firepower points first.
The little devil looked around for the fleeting shadow, but found nothing. The troops were still separated in the village.
Some lone Japanese soldiers fell prey to the Chinese soldiers. They suddenly jumped out of hiding places with bayonets in their hands, and then stabbed the little Japanese soldiers into their chests with their bayonets.
Until a little devil pulled the trigger before he died, and when the gunshot rang out, all the little devils knew that there was an enemy ambushing in the village.
"Bang"
Zhao Zhiguo also fired decisively, killing a Japanese machine gunner.
"Bang bang bang bang"
The soldiers who were ready for battle also opened fire when they heard Zhao Zhiguo's gunfire.
The little devils in the village were caught off guard.
However, the Japs quickly used small teams to seize the houses on both sides of the road, hoping to use the houses as strongholds to launch a counterattack against Zhao Zhiguo and the others.
"The little Japanese soldiers have really good combat qualities. Grandma is a bitch. If the soldiers of our Chinese army were like this, I'm afraid they would have planted the flag on the top of Mount Fuji long ago."
