In fact, Zhang Yunfei's expectations for them were somewhat low. No matter what, these militiamen were not just ordinary people, but they had come through hard times. During the anti-mopping operations, they had to some extent been responsible for protecting the villagers.

Work.

Although they have never experienced a real battle, they are not useless, and their psychological quality is not too fragile.

Of course, the battles they have experienced are very different from the battles going on now, but they still have some experience after all.

These militiamen are no strangers to the sound of gunfire. The ongoing battle ahead at least has not really scared them. After entering the battlefield, these militiamen are quite impressive.

Of course, Chen Yunhao did not dare to put these militiamen into the attack. They may be accustomed to the guerrilla tactics of shooting one shot and changing the place.

But if they were to directly attack and charge as soon as they came up, that would be to directly let them die. Therefore, these militiamen had only one task, which was to contain the defeated Japanese and puppet troops and prevent them from breaking out from here.

.

However, Chen Yunhao did not trust this group of militiamen from the bottom of his heart. He not only arranged a reserve team according to Zhang Yunfei's request, but also sent a class of veterans to follow them and provide personal guidance.

Chen Yunhao has been fighting guerrillas for a long time. Cadres like him have a clearer understanding of the combat capabilities of local guerrillas and militia.

Regarding the militia team sent by Zhang Yunfei, he felt that Zhang Yunfei was causing trouble for him. Fortunately, Zhang Yunfei's prestige in the New Ninth Regiment was high enough, so Chen Yunhao followed it without saying a word. If someone else had given such an order, he would have probably cursed his mother.

.

The front team under the command of Kato Shigesuke was already trapped in an encirclement. Under the siege of the first battalion, it was on the verge of collapse.

At best, they were barely holding on, and breaking out of the encirclement was already a luxury, but Kato Shigesuke had a stubborn temper and would not give up, and his battlefield insights were quite keen.

When he discovered that the surrounding area was surrounded by a group of plainclothes men in one direction, he could tell from the tactical movements that they were a group of new recruits.

This guy was very clear about the structure of the Eighth Route Army. These were either new recruits who had just joined the army or local soldiers from the Eighth Route Army. This gave him a glimmer of hope. Without saying a word, he immediately forcibly transferred some troops and launched another breakthrough in this direction.

They tried to open a gap in the militia's defense line to break through. In order to ensure the success of the breakout, Kato Shigesuke personally took command.

Of course, he also knew that if he did not hurry up and break through, as the number of casualties increased, the chance of breaking out would be lower the further back they went. Perhaps this counterattack and breakout might be their last chance.

Anyway, Kato Shigesuke organized this breakout with a death wish. Kato gathered most of the Japs he could command and attacked the militia's position.

Facing the Japanese with ferocious faces and fierce momentum, a battalion of soldiers sent by Chen Yunhao to "coordinate" the militia operations could still remain calm.

But how could the militiamen who had never experienced such a scene remain calm? The enemy had not even reached the optimal shooting range. When they saw the Japanese and puppet troops charging toward them with shining bayonets, their minds became tense.

I don't know who pulled the trigger because of nervousness and fired the first shot. Then, almost everyone got excited and subconsciously pulled the trigger and fired.

Although the Japs on the opposite side are a bit poor in quality and have lost their prestige as Japs, they have received strict training after all.

In terms of age, they are also older and younger. Their fighting will is far less than that of the past, and their physical strength is not as good as that of young adults.

After all, many senior soldiers have actually been on the battlefield, and their skills and tactics are not bad at all.

The hundreds of militiamen fired so randomly that not many of them could actually hit the enemy. Only a few unlucky ones were hit by bullets that looked more like stray bullets.

Their random firing this round only caused the Japanese and puppet troops to slow down their attack speed slightly. Seeing that nothing was wrong, the Japanese and puppet troops became emboldened and accelerated their attack.

They opened fire without orders, but the noses of the Eighth Route Army cadres who were cooperating with the operation were so angry that they were angry. These guys fired randomly and shot alone, wasting hundreds of bullets in vain, and this also ruined the fortune.

Fighting is a thing where once the blood gets heated up, it's not that easy to calm down these guys who lack discipline.

Most of the militiamen who participated in the war were so excited about participating in this level of battle for the first time that they simply forgot that there was such a thing as obeying orders.

Many people are a little selfless due to excitement, and automatically close their external perception, just like hysteria, and they can't wake up without being slapped twice.

However, these tragic militiamen, after the initial excitement, began to return to their senses, and were a little ashamed of their previous panic.

Under the restraints of the Eighth Route Army soldiers and militia team leaders, they began to become orderly, stopped shooting randomly, and began to obey orders.

The Eighth Route Army was also in a hurry to restrain the militiamen from firing indiscriminately. When they stabilized their position, they lowered their bodies to prevent damage from the fire. Under the leadership of Kato Shigesuke, the Japanese and puppet troops had broken through the militiamen and fired indiscriminately. Almost

The firepower king, which had no interception effect, was less than a hundred meters away from the militia position.

After the panic period and the Japanese and puppet troops getting closer and closer, these militiamen were able to calm down completely. This is the only good thing. If they were still messing around, they would really collapse.

This is mainly due to the good quality of these militiamen, and more importantly, the effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army soldiers stationed among them by Chen Yunhao.

The Eighth Route Army holds a very important position in the hearts of these passionate young people. When they are in a panic and have no idea what to do, they will unconditionally obey the Eighth Route Army's command.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who took over the command of the militia changed the momentum of the militia team, giving it the appearance of an army.

The militiamen followed the orders of the Eighth Route Army soldiers. After putting the enemy within the killing range of grenades, they first fired a round of grenades and then greeted them with volleys of guns.

As for the enemy, before approaching the grenade throwing range, keep your body as low as possible to avoid being killed by the enemy's cover fire.

The militiamen lowered their heads desperately, listening to their beating heartbeats, and looking at the Eighth Route Army soldiers, they unscrewed the safety caps of the grenades around them, pulled out the safety ropes, and were ready to throw them out at any time.

Prepare.
