In fact, after the Hejiawan Village Command's combat plan was sent to the headquarters, Qin Zheng and Xiao Jianjun both opposed this plan, because it was too risky and could cause major casualties to the troops. Although the crossing fleet had fought several battles in this era, it still maintained a record of zero casualties until now. Qin Zheng and Xiao Jianjun both hoped to continue this record, because every soldier is a precious human resource for the crossing fleet. Even if one person sacrificed, it would be a major loss. Therefore, choose a safe combat plan as much as possible.

But Xia Bohai sent the opposite opinions of the two. First of all, from a large-scale perspective, we must do our best to annihilate the Eight-Nation Alliance stationed in Juhe Town, because the next goal of the headquarters is Tianjin. If this Eight-Nation Alliance flees to Tianjin, it will undoubtedly increase Tianjin's troops and increase the difficulty of the battle in the next stage. This combat plan is indeed risky and will have greater casualties, but fighting is a dangerous thing. If you are afraid of casualties and choose a safe tactic, then it is better not to fight. Since you are a soldier, don't be afraid of sacrifice. Moreover, in the future, you will still have to rely on the army that crosses the fleet to fight on the front line. There will be more difficult battles in the future. The record of zero casualties will be broken sooner or later. There is no need to insist on the record of zero casualties as a condition for tactical choice.

In addition, the crossing fleet is generally facing the problem of lack of practical experience. In this regard, the Marine Corps is more prominent because the fleet has an absolutely leading technical advantage, which is better, while the Marine Corps' technical advantages are not so obvious. In the future, there will definitely be more land battles than sea. Therefore, the Marine Corps will face a very severe test. The enemy forces are now weak, so they can be used to practice to accumulate practical experience for future combat. In terms of tactical choices, they would rather choose to take risks. I believe that the troops rely on their technical advantages and casualties should be controlled within an acceptable range.

The three of them discussed for a while, and Qin Zheng and Xiao Jianjun were finally furnished by Xia Bohai, and then they agreed to the combat plan of the Hejiawan Village Command. On the one hand, the headquarters ordered Qiu Yahui to be appointed as the commander of this battle, and on the other hand, they notified the reinforcements that the plan had changed.

Although their respective perspectives were different, the headquarters agreed to the combat plan of the Hejiawan Village Command, and the command immediately began to arrange it. After the troops attacked, the Hejiawan Village had to keep people guarding, because the village not only had more than 200 prisoners, but also had medical teams and their own wounded personnel. Therefore, Qiu Yahui decided to leave a platoon to guard Hejiawan Village, and also leave helicopters. The other three land combat platoons, machine gun platoons, and the mortar platoons and two other warrior vehicles participated in the battle.

The platoon led by Luo Yue was not Qiu Yahui's company, but their platoon was originally a sharp knife platoon, and it was also the most combat experience in the Marine Corps, so it was not in the village.

Because two warriors were loaded with heavy weapons, the troops marched quickly and quickly. In just over forty minutes, they arrived at the northeast of Juhe Town. They also launched a fierce exchange of fire with the sentries of the Eight-Nation Alliance's peripheral forces, killing three coalition soldiers.

However, Qiu Yahui was not in a hurry to order an attack. While dispatching troops to arrange positions nearby, he also released unmanned reconnaissance helicopters to reconnaissance the deployment of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

At this time, the Eight-Nation Alliance in Kujiha Town also responded very much. Although the Eight-Nation Alliance was preparing to retreat, the enemy had already fought and had to resist for a while. If they retreated at this time, the enemy would pursue them later, and it would be important to have the casualties. Therefore, the army that cut off the rear and blocked the attack must be arranged, and then retreated. So Yushu Otsu immediately ordered that half of the Japanese and British troops set up positions outside the town to block the enemy, and the rest of the troops continued to retreat. After retreating from Kujiha Town, they would arrange another army to cover the blocking troops to retreat, so that they could cover each other and retreat alternately.

Otsu Yuki's arrangement should be a standard retreat tactic. On one side, the troops can successfully get rid of the enemy and minimize their casualties. However, now the Eight-Nation Alliance is not an ordinary enemy. If the coalition forces can immediately retreat from Juhe Town and join Tianjin, although it will cause certain casualties, they can still escape.

Juhe Town is just a town, not large in scale, with only about 300 households and more than 1,000 people, and they are only on a key transportation route, so a town was formed, which is actually just a big village. However, because the Eight-Nation United Nations landed in Dagukou, there were few left left. Through drone reconnaissance, the command center basically understood the deployment of Juhe Town.

Strictly speaking, the Eight-Nation Alliance actually has no fortifications in Juhe Town. Now it only relies on several houses on the edge of the town as bunkers to arrange defensive positions. In Qiu Yahui's view, such positions are almost vulnerable. In addition to the blocking army, other Eight-Nation Alliances are gathering in the town, and it seems that they are preparing to retreat.

Luo Yue immediately said: "Company Commander Qiu, the Eight-Nation Alliance is about to retreat. We must also change the combat plan and let me lead the troops into the town to fight street battles with them. Only in this way can we delay the Eight-Nation Alliance."

Qiu Yahui frowned. He was not unclear. If he dragged on like this, the Eight-Nation Alliance would definitely escape. At most, he could only eat the army that was blocked from behind. Luo Yue's plan was indeed feasible. But in this way, the combat plan would inevitably be changed. However, the connection between the command and the command was based on the radio station on the helicopter. Now the helicopter is in the village, so he could not notify the command. If the combat plan is rashly changed, then how would the command explain it? Moreover, Qiu Yahui also understood that the casualties in street fighting were very large. Although the command agreed to the combat plan he proposed, if the casualties were too large, it would probably not go there. However, if the Eight-Nation Alliance was let go, the previous arrangement would be in vain.

Seeing that Qiu Yahui was still hesitant at this time, Luo Yue couldn't help but feel anxious and said, "Company Commander Qiu, please give orders quickly. If you drag it down, the Eight-Nation Alliance will all run away."

Liu Qinglin, the second platoon leader of the company, also said: "Yes, company commander, can't hesitate anymore, fight."

Qiu Yahui naturally knew that he could not hesitate at this time, and he had to make a quick decision. Even if he made a wrong decision, it would be better than hesitation. Therefore, Qiu Yahui gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, platoon leader Luo, you will lead the troops to attack from the front, platoon leader Ran and platoon leader Liu, you two platoons will be roundabout from both sides, attacking from three sides, mortar platoons will be responsible for fire protection, machine gun platoons will be put on the car, and then support them. Once the Eight-Nation Alliance retreats, you will immediately drive and chase them."

After arranging the tactical arrangements, Qiu Yahui immediately contacted the reinforcements, told them that the tactics had changed, and asked them to rush to the battlefield to participate in the battle. The other troops also acted separately according to the combat tasks assigned to them.

The mortar platoon immediately set up the escape mortar and, under the guidance of the drone, launched artillery bombardment at the defense line of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

The house structures in Juhe Town are basically made of wooden, at most, with a mud wall, which can't stop the impact of high explosive bombs at all. Moreover, drones provide shooting parameters in the air, so the accuracy of mortar strikes is very high. The first three rounds of artillery bombardment blows up a house, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers who use this house as a cover are naturally buried in the explosion.

The mortar platoon then bombarded other houses used as bunkers by the Eight-Nation Alliance. As a result, six houses were destroyed in a row in just two or three minutes. Dozens of coalition soldiers were killed, while the other soldiers dared to hide in the houses and retreated from the houses to retreat into the town. Luo Yue immediately led the soldiers of the platoon to advance towards Juhe Town, and the mortar also extended the firepower forward and attacked the enemy's deep forces.

Luo Yue was the first to rush into the town, raised his gun and fired a series of fire, and sent two British soldiers hiding behind half a low wall. The other soldiers also rushed into the town, raising their guns to shoot. Some of the Eight-Nation Alliance soldiers who escaped the shelling were shot and fell to the ground and died. The two warrior cars also carried heavy machine gun teams and drove into Juhe Town with the soldiers.

After entering the town, Luo Yue immediately commanded the entire platoon to be scattered into squads, with squads one and two squads covering both sides, and squads rushing in the middle, and each squad was divided into three groups, two machine gun groups took turns to shoot, always maintaining uninterrupted suppression and alternate cover for sprinting, while the other group followed up, waiting for an opportunity to take action, either snipers sniping the enemy's commander, or the rocket launcher killed the enemy's captain. Since the distance between the two sides' fire exchanges was narrowed to about 100 meters, the strike of the mortar behind was forced to be extended, which greatly weakened the help to the rushing troops. He could only rely on the firepower of the rushing troops themselves.

However, the Eight-Nation Alliance did not arrange fortifications in the town, so after Luo Yue's troops rushed into Juhe Town, they either formed a gun platoon array to block the attack, or could only rely on the town's houses to resist.

However, this type of raiding array is simply a living target for the raiding troops. It is often the automatic rifle of the raiding troops before the coalition forces are arranged in an array, and the squad is violently fired with machine guns, and falls to the ground and dies like mowing grass. Moreover, the firepower of the raiding troops alternates, almost no interruption, so the coalition forces are unable to organize an effective raiding array.

Relying on the house to resist is not better. Although it is impossible to rely on mortars to conduct fixed strikes, Luo Yue's troops still have two rocket launchers. Although they are only 40mm caliber rocket launchers, they are still enough to deal with the houses in the town. Moreover, the distance is close, and the rocket launchers are also aiming at doors and windows to strike, and can always accurately hit the shells into the house.
