Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 149 Chapter 148, There is a Guide
"Well, this is possible! Captain, you also worked in intelligence under the brigade commander and have been to Nanjing City. We can also develop an intelligence network." Xing Weiguo said.

"Getting intelligence... it's so hard... I think we should let Lao Zhu find the secret department of the organization! We have Peregrine Falcon here, so we should have less contact with the secret front to avoid being tracked down by the enemy!"

"I didn't think enough..." Just when Xing Weiguo was about to speak, a man ran down the mountain outside and walked straight into the yard: "Captain, a small group of Japanese soldiers has emerged, heading east, and there are more behind them..."

"Ding Haixin, calm down and tell me slowly what exactly happened?" Xing Weiguo looked at the young Ding Haixin and marveled at how nimble the Taoist priests were.

"Captain, deputy captain, the information given by Division 40 is the same as before. This time the Japanese also separated into several groups. One group came towards us with about 30 people. Another group of 40 people went to the south to climb the mountain. Another group went to the northeast with more than people."

"But what's strange is that we found many soldiers in other military uniforms among the Japanese, driving horse-drawn carriages and so on. The squad leader said that they were puppet troops, specifically leading the Japanese!" Ding Haixin said.

"Climbing the mountain to the south... this leads to Sunjiazhai... going northeast leads to Fenglin Village, and going east leads to Yinjiulang Village! It seems that the Japanese here are also conducting a sweep, but they came out a little late." Zhao Danian memorized the surrounding terrain in his mind and casually said the place where the Japanese were going to marry.

"Then how do we fight? Should we divide our forces and attack one route at a time?" Xing Weiguo asked.

"We must defeat one group first! You see, it's already 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and the Japanese are obviously returning after attacking the nearby village. But if we defeat one group of them, the other two groups of Japanese will also come over!" said Zhao Danian.

"In this way, we have stirred up a hornet's nest... But it's okay this way, let's do as you say!" Xing Weiguo and Zhao Danian have a very good understanding of each other. They know what their opponent wants to do just by looking at each other.

"Ding Haixin, now you go back to the observation point and continue to observe the movements of the Japanese stronghold. Don't worry about the battle here for now. Remember, when the fighting starts, if the Japanese stronghold has troops coming out to reinforce, you must pass on accurate information as quickly as possible!" Zhao Danian said.

"Yes, Captain!" Ding Haixin said, then ran away and went up the mountain like flying.

"Actually, Captain, the first thing we should solve is the battlefield communication problem!" Li Yuexuan, who had already arranged the directional blasting, came in and said.

"Battlefield communication? Yes, it's very important, do it! Old Xing, remember this, after this battle, we will go cut the enemy's telephone lines!" Zhao Danian solemnly said to Xing Weiguo, and then said loudly: "Communicator, ride back to Liangjia Village immediately and tell the chief of staff and the platoon leader that the enemy has moved out. I plan to take the initiative to ambush and lure the enemy. After a few battles, I will retreat all the way east."

"Tell him to get 200 bullet mines first, then make 30 landmines, and have a row of soldiers take action immediately to lay mines along the road! Remember, after digging the pit and burying the mine, put a basket on the mine to cover it. Also remember the location of the mine to avoid accidentally injuring your comrades."

"Also, let the comrades in the bullet workshop evacuate eastward with their equipment after they finish their work, bypass the pine forest, and take shelter temporarily in the cave below the Black Stone Cliff! Then, build fortifications in Liangjia Village, which will be our last stop!" Zhao Danian said this, while Xing Weiguo took a pen to record the key points. When Zhao Danian finished speaking, Xing Weiguo also finished recording. "Well, you may not remember what I said, but take this information to Chief of Staff Zhu, he will understand!" After Zhao Danian finished speaking, he turned around and continued, "Second Platoon Leader, Comrade Youshun, you will lead your troops immediately, go west along the ridge, choose a suitable position near the mountain pass, and prepare to ambush the Japanese squad. I will go with you!"

"Understood!" Chen Changsheng and Li Yuexuan answered at the same time, and then led their men away from the trench that had just been dug behind the ridge and headed west.

"Old Xing, do you see that hill in the northwest? That's the Ox's Back of Woniu Mountain. You must immediately take the heavy machine gun platoon there to establish a new position. Be sure to dig foxholes and provide shelter for the machine guns. When the fighting starts, the Japanese may fight for that hill!" Zhao Danian continued to make arrangements.

"There? No problem!" Xing Weiguo thought about the battle situation he would face next, and naturally took on this task. The hill called Niubei is the highest hill within a radius of 500 meters. Occupying it, and with the heavy machine guns, it means occupying the commanding heights of this battlefield. Of course, the specific battle depends on the subsequent developments.

Once the order is given, it must be carried out resolutely! Therefore, Lu Xiaoran led the second platoon, and Li Yuexuan led the temporary heavy firepower squad to the west. Under the cover of the mountain ridge, they quickly arrived at the place where the hoof of Woniu Mountain was located. It was more than 1000 meters away from the observation position of the vanguard squad. Well, the vanguard squad was observing the enemy situation at the position of the bull head.

At this time, the guerrillas' breathing was a little disordered, but in the valley below the mountain, the voices of the devils could be heard from afar, and there was even the creaking sound of a carriage.

That's right, while everyone was passing on information, arranging tactics and marching, the Japanese squad had already crossed a distance of more than 500 meters and penetrated more than 800 meters into the valley, and was about to reach the position where Li Yuexuan and his team were. The position where the guerrillas were located was actually too close to the bottom of the valley, only about 50 meters away at the closest.

Only because the mountains here are very folded and there are many small bushes such as jujube trees to block the view, the guerrillas were not discovered by the devils. Of course, even if they were discovered, it would not matter, they could just fight directly! However, who would be willing to fight a battle when they can shoot from behind or ambush?

Huh, huff... The soldiers took a few deep breaths to steady their breathing. Then, the muzzles of their guns stretched out from the roots of the sour jujube trees, waiting for the Japanese to arrive right under their noses.

Li Yuexuan chose a good location for himself, behind a clump of brambles less than 50 meters away from the bottom of the mountain. The best part was that the brambles grew out from around a large rock.

With such a perfect distance and such a perfect position, Li Yuexuan quickly pulled out his box gun, replaced the 20-round magazine, and held another 20-round magazine in his hand as a backup. Well, he believed that if the Japanese got to the bottom, he could kill most of them. So, he quietly waited for the Japanese troops to arrive.

"Madam, Madam, listen to me, I am from Shanyang Village in the east. I know the locations of all the surrounding villages and how to get to all the trails! Don't worry, I will definitely take you to..." Hearing the voice coming from the bottom of the mountain, Li Yuexuan frowned. Is there really a guide here?
