Chapter 1287 encirclement and suppression
The fierce fire exchange sounded throughout the night sky. Because the American guerrillas were unable to attack the settlement at the first time, they were intercepted by the reserve soldiers who arrived later on the periphery of the village. [Reserve soldiers who were familiar with the terrain used their houses to exchange fire with the American guerrillas, while the guerrillas were completely at a disadvantage. They not only had to face the attacks of the reserve soldiers on the ground, but also were hit by machine gun fire from the sentry tower. In this case, the guerrillas suffered a lot of casualties.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The rifles of the Imperial Army soldiers were crisp and sounded like fried beans. On the other hand, the American guerrillas had a variety of weapons. They included rifles, pistols and hunting rifles. However, in the exchange of fire with the reserve soldiers, the American guerrillas did not take any advantage. Although it was night, because of the visibility, the accuracy of both sides was not good. However, in terms of firepower, the firepower of the reserves was undoubtedly stronger. At the same time, whether the American guerrillas could only lie on the snow or not, which caused huge casualties.
"Bang!" A reserve soldier who was shooting was shot in the chest and fell to the ground. However, his comrades around him were still continuing to fire. Everyone knew that this battle was related to the life and death of Chenjia Village, and everyone had to work hard.
"Boom!" A grenade exploded, and several American guerrillas who were about to sneak in were blown away on the spot.
During the firefight between the two sides, the wooden fence was lit and the fire illuminated the surroundings, which undoubtedly pointed the direction for the reserve soldiers. The exposed American guerrillas were hit by the reserves' key blow, and many people were directly killed.
In the center of the settlement is a big house. Although it is made of wooden, it is very spacious. This is the ancestral hall in the village and also a place for discussion. Now, most of the villagers in Chenjia Village gather here. Everyone has a look of panic on their faces. The sound of gunfire and explosions outside make everyone feel very frightened. Some children have even started to cry.
"Oh! Those foreigners are fighting, what should I do? What if the reserve troops do not resist their attack? If I had known it, it would be better to stay in my hometown. Although life is a little harder, there will be no danger at least." Some people whispered.
"I've been quiet! Now, our young men are fighting against foreign devils. Protect our homes. You people not only don't want to defend their homes, but also talk sarcastic here. Do you still have a conscience? If we don't immigrate to North America, how could we have a good life now!" A clan elder roared angrily, and those who were talking about it suddenly shut up. Chenjia Village, the clan elders have a high status. Other villagers dare not fight against them at all. Especially at this moment, this is even more so.
"It's snowing again now, and even if we evacuate here, it's too late. In my opinion, we can only fight with the foreigners. Let them know that our Chenjia Village is not easy to bully. All the old and young men will pick up weapons. As long as the reserve troops do not resist the foreigners, it's time for us to fight with them!" Another clan elder also said.
The Chinese have never lacked blood, especially when it comes to defending their homes. Now they have finally lived a good life. Americans are coming to destroy everyone's good life, so of course they will not agree. Even if they sacrifice their lives, they will have to fight them to the end.
"Yes, if I fight against those damn foreigners, I can't do it. There are so many people in our Chenjia Village, but we can't beat those guerrillas!"
The villagers of Chenjia Village were excited and full of fighting spirit. They had been immigrating to North America for more than half a year. They were not unaware of the American guerrillas at all, and they knew that these people were people who opposed the empire. However, under the extermination of the imperial army, there were not many left. These guerrillas were just fighting the final trapped beasts.
"Da da da da da da da da da!" The machine guns on the whistle were firing all the time. Because the fire illuminated the surroundings, the figures of American guerrillas were revealed, which provided an excellent target for the soldiers on the condescending trumpet. The machine guns intensively fired these American guerrillas and sent the American guerrillas to meet their God.
"Justin, it's not possible to continue like this! The Chinese are too strong in firepower. They are already prepared. We have suffered a lot of casualties. If we continue to fight, we may pay a greater price!" Morin was very worried. The battle lasted for only half an hour, but his guerrillas had already suffered more than one-third of the casualties. Moreover, the Chinese in the village were obviously prepared, which can be seen from the increasingly dense firepower of the Chinese. Originally, they wanted to catch the Chinese off guard. But unexpectedly, they failed in the end.
"Captain, what should we do?" Justin's face turned pale. He didn't expect that things would turn out like this. Now it seems that not only can't attack this village, but their entire guerrillas may be trapped here.
"In addition, the sky is about to be bright. Once it is dawn, our disadvantage will be greater." The American guerrillas launched an attack at 3 a.m. When they approached the village, it was almost four a.m. After more than an hour, it will be dawn. At that time, they will be completely at a disadvantage. The reserve forces in the village can use their strength and firepower advantages to solve them all.
"Damn it! Captain, why don't we retreat!" Justin cursed inwardly. Although he didn't want to see such a result, he had no choice! If he continued to fight, it was obvious that they would pay a greater price.
"Okay! Order the troops and retreat!" Morin nodded.
After giving the order to retreat, Morin and Justin left first. The rest of the American guerrilla soldiers also retreated one after another, hiding their figures with the help of the night.
However, Morin and Justin were still worried at this moment. Not only did they not be able to achieve their goals in this battle, they suffered heavy losses. The guerrillas, which originally had only a hundred people, were only a few dozen people left. Moreover, they consumed a lot of weapons, ammunition and food in this battle, and there was not much left. Even if they retreated to the woods, they would probably not last long.
"Village chief, the foreign devils are retreating!" a reserve soldier said to Chen Shuisheng.
"Well! Stay alert and send the wounded down." Chen Shuisheng did not dare to be careless at all. This time the attack of the American guerrillas made him feel cold sweat. If the patrol hunting dogs had not discovered the crisis and promptly warned them, the consequences would be unimaginable. At that time, even if they could repel the attack of the American guerrillas, the casualties would definitely be much greater than this.
After the gunfire subsided, the villagers who were originally worried were relieved. Some people immediately rushed to help the reserve troops rescue the wounded, bandaged them, etc.
More than an hour later, it was dawn. Chen Shuisheng personally took his men out of the gap in the fence to investigate and found that the American guerrillas had indeed retreated, and then he announced that the crisis was lifted.
While Chen Shuisheng ordered people to be alert and repaired the damaged fence. On the other hand, he went to the ancestral hall to discuss with the clan elders.
"All the clan elders, the foreign devils were defeated, leaving more than forty corpses! In a short period of time, they should not dare to invade us again!" Chen Shuisheng said.
"This is great! Those damn foreigners were finally defeated!" said an old clan.
"However, in this battle, we also lost many brothers, twelve people were killed in battle, and more than a dozen others were injured!" Chen Shuisheng continued.
"We in Chenjia Village must remember this bloody debt and must settle accounts with these foreign devils!" said a hot-tempered clan elder.
"Well! I think so too. Those foreigners braved the snowy days to attack us, and they must be unable to survive in the mountains. I am going to send people to contact the regular army, and then seek cooperation from the surrounding settlements, and go into the mountains to wipe out those foreigners in one fell swoop!" Chen Shuisheng, as a second lieutenant of the Imperial Army, was naturally very clear about his analysis.
"Yes, let the regular army come to wipe out these foreign devils, these disasters must not be left behind!" Other clan elders also said.
"As for those who were killed in battle and injured, we must come up with a resettlement method. The villagers who died in battle and the young and old at home must be responsible for taking care of the injured. The injured must also cure them. Those who are disabled must also take good care of their lives. They are all for our entire village!" Chen Shuisheng said.
"Yes, Shui Sheng is right. Whether it is killed in battle or injured, they are all heroes in our Chenjia Village. They are like this for all of us! If they don't care about them, wouldn't our conscience be eaten by dogs?"
The clan elders passed Chen Shuisheng's proposal unanimously, and everyone naturally attaches great importance to the warriors who protect themselves.
After all this was arranged, Chen Shuisheng immediately sent someone to contact the regular army and asked the regular army to help them enter the mountains to eliminate the American guerrillas. If this group of American guerrillas were not wiped out, then Chenjia Village would not be able to live in peace in the future. If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about them!
After knowing that Chenjia Village was attacked by the American guerrillas, the infantry company attached great importance to it. The company's captain and company commander immediately led two platoons to come, contacting nearby settlements, and sent people to prepare to go into the mountains to wipe out the American guerrillas. A few days later, there were as many as 500 regular troops and guerrillas gathered in Chenjia Village. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
