Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 1108 The home of the mountain people!

The mountain of Sayue Valley is not steep, and in the eyes of Shen Laoliu, who has rich combat experience, it is not the most suitable place for ambush.

The Japanese army was very cautious, and the distance between individual soldiers was very wide. If the Japanese army column with a length of more than 600 meters connected end to end reacted and occupied the high ground, even the terrain advantage would no longer exist.

Therefore, after observing the terrain, Shen Laoliu was the first to propose to retreat to a mountain pass one mile away. Although the terrain and environment there were too harsh to allow all 400 people to spread out, as long as they guarded there, the Japanese would pass. Not coming.

If you take human lives, you can stop the Japanese army for more than an hour and a half if you don't say anything.

Shen Laoliu is a typical thinking of fighting a blocking war and fighting a tough battle, and it is also a forced choice based on the difference in strength between the enemy and us!

Even Shen Laoliu had made a calculation in his mind that the Japanese army wanted to break through a mountain pass with 400 people defending it, even if the firepower equipment of the two sides was not at the same level at all. In fact, they have to pay at least 100 casualties.

Of course, more than half of this would be due to the existence of his semi-automatic rifle and Zhang Saner's MG34 machine gun, unless they were too unlucky to be hit by Japanese grenadiers.

The battle loss ratio of 1 to 4 is already a battle loss ratio that Shen Laoliu is very satisfied with.

One and a half hours was enough for all the old and weak women and children in Yeyue Village to escape into the deep mountains, and it was also enough for the boy from Jiuli who was going to deliver the letter to find Lao Lu and the others.

"You don't need to go anywhere else, just get them in Sayue Valley!" Long Yan pointed forward with arrogance.

Before Shen and Laoliu could speak, he added confidently with thick eyebrows and big eyes: "I know you guys want to ask why you chose which place instead of the Duantouya Pass. I have two reasons. First, because you When he came, he slept soundly and was carried by us."

Shen Laoliu
When this guy is serious, he's quite a character, but when he's being funny, he's just chasing after Li Jiujin!This is a pre-war meeting, so you can't help poking people's hearts?Lao Tzu passed through the valley without knowing anything, but this has something to do with whether the valley is suitable for ambushes?
"Second, because sometimes we do business without capital! You know the risks of doing business, and you will always be chased by creditors."

Long Ying rolled her eyes and glanced at her younger brother, which meant that you should stop rambling, and quickly said, didn't you see that a certain elder brother's bull's eyes started to stare?

"I'm serious, the creditors haven't even come to the door, so they were scared away here." Long Yan looked at himself and his friends confidently. "Do you think so?"

"That's for sure, brother Yan is the best!" The 'pimple' with acne all over his face looked at his elder brother adoringly.

The nickname Yeyue Village is taken literally!
Obviously, this kind of personality cult that combines words and deeds is by no means formed in a day or two, at least it has been cultivated for more than ten years.

But it's true, Long Yan is the son of the headman in the village, and he has a slender body, and he is very fond of playing.To use the adjective of the future is: born in the second generation of officials, he is still an elite!If you can't be convinced, you must have seen a ghost.

Young people's thinking is one-sided. Shen Laoliu feels that it is not very reliable, so he can only turn his attention to Longying and the only [-]-year-old old man.

"My brother's choice, I agree!" Long Ying nodded without hesitation, and also voted for it.

"A Yan is my best apprentice, what he said is right." The old man trusted his disciple very much.

Good guy!This is either the younger brother or the apprentice, and it is true that the family does not speak the same language. Shen Laoliu is full of helplessness deep in his heart, but he can only accept this reality.

Now that you have decided, don't hesitate any longer!

Sayue Valley is a slender mountain road with a length of 1700 meters and twists and turns. The Japanese army can only enter the valley entrance, and it takes 20 minutes to walk out of the valley.

But, can they maneuver behind the mountains on both sides in such a short time, and set up an ambush at the position Longyan said?
Following Longying and Longyan's two brothers and sisters calling for five people to arrange them one by one, the young and strong men carrying bird guns and long knives shuttled between the forest and rock walls, like dexterous apes.

This really opened Shen Laoliu's eyes.

No wonder even the steady Longying confidently said it was okay.

Before, they had only seen these guys on the mountain road with a long breath and extremely fast maneuvering speed. Only when they were in this mountain forest with complex geographical structure and difficult for ordinary people to climb, the two soldiers realized more deeply. There are professionals.

Even though the Japanese army had a way to go, in terms of speed, they might not be able to run better than the group of Jiuli villagers who lived in the mountains all the year round and jumped between the dense forest and rocks behind the mountain.

Even Shen Laoliu and Zhang San'er, the two elite scouts of the Four Elements Regiment who took five kilometers cross-country in full armor as their daily training, felt inferior to them.

It's not that the two scouts are useless, their endurance and speed of fully armed cross-country five kilometers running within 20 minutes are outstanding even in the future.

Rather, they felt that they might not be able to run as nimbly and gracefully as the villagers of the Jiuli ethnic group in this life, or it could be called a sword walk.

Especially when I saw many people carrying a metal-shelled cannonball weighing five kilograms on their backs, shuttling through the mountain forest with almost no roads, many times they were obviously about to fall, but they continued to leap forward with the help of tree vines.

Shen Laoliu's heart was in his throat, it was a shell, an earthen shell that might explode upon a strong impact.

But it turns out that he was worrying too much!

A race that can survive and thrive in such a mountain has not been eliminated by nature. The tenacity and vitality comparable to Xiaoqiang is just one of them.Choosing to learn from nature and adapt to the cruel nature is the way to survive.

Those who try to conquer and transform nature will eventually swallow the bitter fruit because of nature's ferocious backlash!
Captain Chuntian Youmon, who has already entered the mouth of Sayue Valley and is looking at the surrounding forest vigilantly, will of course not know that there is a group of Chinese "natives" racing against him across the mountain.

When Shen Laoliu arrived at the back of the meandering Sayue Valley, he realized why the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes said with certainty that 'creditors seldom come to the door'.

Originally, the road section before Sayue Valley was not very steep, and it was even considered gentle, but here, the mountain suddenly became sharper.

Between the two mountains is a 500-meter-long mountain road, plus a mountain stream that is less than one meter wide. All kinds of trees are extremely dense. If you want to climb from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, which is no more than 300 meters, it will take a lot of effort.

This may be the only section of the Moon Valley where all the moonlight cannot shine!

To put it bluntly, in such a position, if the roads on both sides are blocked, the people on the mountain road will almost become entangled turtles, and they will have nowhere to run.

But the premise is that there must be enough strength to block the two ends, and enough firepower to suppress it on the mountain road and not let the impatient opponent climb the mountain.

Shen Laoliu quickly assigned the mob to their respective combat positions. All the bird-wielding gunmen were divided into two groups. A group of 40 people was led by him and Zhang San'er to hide on the left side of the mountain road at a height of about 500 meters along the 150-meter mountain. On the mountainside, rocks, shrubs and trees are used as shelters.

This is mainly because the shooting range of the bird guns is too short, and there is almost no lethality beyond 150 meters. In fact, the role of these 40 bird guns is not to kill the Japanese army on the mountain road.

Their greater role is to attract Japanese firepower or stop the Japanese army trying to climb the mountain. The real lethal ones have to be Shen Laoliu's semi-automatic rifle and Zhang San'er's MG200 machine gun located about 34 meters away.

Nearly 100 villagers with long knives hid on the top of the mountain as a reserve team, preparing for the Japanese army to rush up to fight hand-to-hand with them, or rush down the mountainside to pick up the bird guns left by the dead bird gun soldiers, and continue to serve as consumption Taste.

It's brutal, but this is the battlefield!
Most of the soldiers and lives are just consumables, consuming the opponent's ammunition storage. If they can exchange one with the opponent, it will be very cost-effective.

The Longying siblings personally hid 80 bird guns, a dozen rifles, 6 box cannons, and 140 long knives on the right side of the mountain road.

Their ambush height is lower than that on the left, and the bird gun closest to the mountain road is even only 120 meters.

In the same way, almost all bird guns are considered to be consumed, attracting the firepower of the Japanese army, and then the rifles and box guns that can really kill the Japanese army are used to attack the Japanese army.

Shen Laoliu had explained this tactical arrangement to Long Ying and Long Yan before. Not only did the two siblings have no objections, even the 120 blunderbuss soldiers did not see a single person flinching.

Although there is no discipline, this group of Jiuli people actually surpassed the Four Elements Group when it comes to being brave and not afraid of death, or even sending them to death meaninglessly.

This may be the so-called power of faith!It's just that what the Four Elements Group believes in is their home country, and what they believe in is their homeland. It's just the difference between big and small!

And the old man named Long Mao led 20 people to move the mortar and shells up a small hill more than 400 meters away.

The top of the mountain is a few tens of meters higher than the mountains on both sides of Sayue Valley. High level of handling.

In fact, Shen Laoliu has a kind of resistance to this stone mortar gun. In Shen Laoliu's opinion, the old artillery is actually a "thunderbolt" with the oil barrel used by the engineering company of the Four Elements Regiment. so similar.

It's good to be able to drop a five-kilogram heavy iron shell shell with a lot of iron sand on the Japanese head. If there is an error of tens of meters and it is thrown on your own head, the iron sand that explodes will not have any ability to identify friend or foe.

But Long Yan had more confidence than his master, and he patted his chest to assure that his master had been the number one gunner in the village for more than 30 years, and there would never be any problems.

That's why Shen Laoliu didn't ask carefully how many cannonballs the No. [-] gunner in Yeyue Village had fired, otherwise he would definitely have a cramped calf.

There have been several crises in Yeyue Village over the years. For example, some merchants in Lincheng County did not want to pay tolls and hired hundreds of armed guards to fight against Yeyue Village. For example, several surrounding counties invited garrisons to come. Suppress bandits', and even the surrounding bandits think that Yeyue Village is a big piece of fat, and they want to eat it together.
As a result, Yeyue Village's long knife and bird gun rifle made them see what it means to be fierce, and the stone mortar gun also gave them a taste of what it means to be covered by firepower!
But the old man has fired less than 30 shells in total in the past 100 years, and the average is only three rounds a year. With this level of actual combat, let alone the artillerymen of the Four Elements Regiment, it is the so-called "Huazi Army" during the Dechuan War of Resistance The Sichuan army and those mortar players who have only fired less than 10 shots are incomparable!
And there is also a very fatal flaw. The artillery needs to communicate, otherwise the gunners will not know where to shoot the shells. This section is 500 meters long, and Sharkey will definitely not be able to fight it.

With a distance of 400 meters, it is impossible to run with two feet, nor can it be shouted with a voice, so Shen Laoliu adopted the method of joint combat with his own artillery.

Divide the entire mountain road into five areas, that is, a section of 100 meters, from No. 1 to No. 5. As for when to bombard that position, the old man will look this way with the few binoculars in the cottage.

See if there are any family members on the top of the mountain, it depends on the number of villagers jumping on the top of the mountain.

That is to say, if you see 1 villager jumping, then bombard the No. 3 area; if you see 5 jumping figures, then bombard the [-]rd area;

The reason why you want to jump up and down is for the safety of the villagers. Otherwise, if you stand upright, you will become a living target for the Japanese army at the bottom of the valley, which is only two to 300 meters away!The Japanese are not stupid.

When everything was ready, the vanguard of the Japanese army also arrived.

The Japanese army captain never let down his vigilance, and a 15-man vanguard squad was always 500 meters ahead of the main force of the Japanese army.

However, the dense bushes and thorns not only discouraged the Japanese soldiers, but also only searched 30 meters up the mountain wall, and also blocked their eyes from patrolling the hillsides on both sides.

The two soldiers hid in the gaps in the bushes with hundreds of villagers, watching the main force of the Japanese army approaching.

Looking at the fully armed army at close range is completely different from seeing it at a long distance. The bayonets on the long spears of the marching soldiers who are still in order are flashing coldly, jumping and stabbing in the pupils row by row. No one dared to look straight in the face.

But this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is the light machine gun carried by the Japanese army in the queue and the heavy machine gun carried by four Japanese soldiers!

Before entering Sayue Valley, Chunchun Youwu ordered the heavy machine gun to be removed from the pack horse and carried by the soldiers, so that they could enter the shooting state at any time, and the infantry squad carrying the heavy machine gun was naturally led by Captain Zhutou.

Who made him so brave and wise?Anyway, Spring Youwu thinks so.

Looking at the Japanese soldiers marching under their noses, even the dullest villager couldn't help but hold his breath.

Although they have an absolute geographical advantage, in the face of the enemy's superior force and superior equipment, that so-called advantage has been completely lost.

They are not soldiers, but the most ordinary people. Even if the cruel nature has spent hundreds of years to create enough toughness, the courage to stand still when the Japanese take over the soldiers is already worthy of praise.

Shen Laoliu not only observed the Japanese army through the scope, but also instinctively looked at the friendly army on the opposite mountain.

The state of one's own people before the battle can also determine the outcome of this ambush.

Long Ying, holding two box cannons, looked calm enough, which was expected by Shen Laoliu, after all, he was once the sergeant and deputy squad leader of the 29th Army.

However, the extremely calm behavior of the thick-browed and big-eyed man holding a rifle and placing the brass-colored bullets one by one on the grass beside him was somewhat unexpected by Shen Laoliu.

This is a very small detail, but inside it is the expression of extreme calmness. Shen Laoliu has only seen this kind of person who becomes calmer as he fights. He has only seen it in his deputy company commander, Niu Er.

He can't do it himself, he will be nervous, for example, he is now chewing on the leaves he picked from his side, and the slightly bitter juice reminds him to be calm and sober all the time.

Shen Laoliu didn't know what Longyan was aiming at at this time. The front sight of the old-fashioned Hanyang-made rifle was firmly locked on 250 meters away. The sun flag on the chest of the Japanese army.

The Japanese soldiers who can tie the sun flag on their bayonets are actually non-commissioned officers, and they can be regarded as the backbone of the Japanese army at the lowest level.The sun flag tied on their bayonets does not represent glory more, but is more conducive to command.

On the dark battlefield, with such a small flag as a guide, ordinary soldiers can quickly gather and find the direction of attack again.It is precisely because of the existence of these non-commissioned officers called Cao Chang that the Japanese army can quickly recover its combat effectiveness even if it suffers heavy losses.

In other words, in the sequence of the Japanese army's grassroots troops, a Cao commander is even more important than a small leader, and they are the cornerstone of the Japanese army's powerful army.

Besides, there was a Japanese soldier with a grenade next to this Japanese soldier Cao Chang. That was the second target Long Yan planned to shoot. The two were not far away, and he could find this person as quickly as possible.

The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who had never dealt with the Japanese army at all, chose to kill the Japanese army chief Cao and the grenadier, both of whom were the most important figures in the basic sequence of the Japanese army.

It can only be said that this is his talent, born with a sense of danger.

Shen Laoliu, he will soon have a new understanding of this little brother who has stunned him.

"Bang!" accompanied by a gunshot.

The Japanese soldier Cao Chang who was locked by Longyan fell to the ground clutching his chest in pain.

"Bang, bang, bang!" A burst of gunshots rang out from the mountain road on the right, and at least four Japanese soldiers fell to the ground. The rest of the Japanese soldiers hurriedly searched for shelters on the spot, and quickly fired at the area where gunshots and gunpowder smoke rose.

The blunderbuss soldiers didn't shoot. At this distance, the bludgeon's lethality was really limited. Only when the Japanese army climbed up tens of meters and launched a round of salvo could they maximize their power.

Even, according to the pre-war plan, Shen Laoliu and Zhang San'er's left wing did not shoot at all. If the reacting Japanese army can form the illusion that the right wing has an enemy, then their two guns will make them pay a more painful price.

Even though he didn't have many cards in his hand, Shen Laoliu, who had learned a lot from Tang Tuanzuo, didn't play all his cards rashly.

Besides, besides hot weapons, there are also cold weapons here?

It doesn't mean a cold blade, the so-called 'cold' refers to an unpopularity!
Don't forget, this is the home field of Yeyue Village, but the Jiuli people have painstakingly managed the mountain for more than 200 years in order to survive. At that time, the regular army didn't have any guns, let alone the mountain people.

But in the mountains, there is no shortage of wood and stones, let alone wisdom!
