Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 151 Chapter 150, the Japs didn’t come out?
A hastily-attended ambush, started by a new recruit opening fire prematurely due to his nervousness, ended with Li Yuexuan killing the puppet army. Although the Japanese had time to react at the beginning, no matter what, this ambush ended with the complete annihilation of the Japanese and puppet troops. Li Yuexuan also once again confirmed his position as the mainstay of firepower output because of his performance this time.

Of course, he also showed his ruthless side, because he killed the last puppet soldier by himself, and every shot hit the head, leaving no chance of survival. There were even a few wounded Japanese soldiers who were turned into motionless corpses by his "accidental" re-shooting.

"Ah..." The sound of screaming in pain rang out on the hillside where the guerrillas were, bringing some people who were still not used to the rhythm of the battle back to their senses. Everyone turned their heads to look around and found that there was actually a new recruit lying motionless, and two new recruits were struggling and wailing. Obviously, one was sacrificed and two were injured. This was the casualties of this battle.

"What are you still standing there for? Second platoon leader, take your men down and do a simple cleanup of the battlefield, loot the weapons, ammunition and loose property, drive away those horse-drawn carriages, and take away the war horses! Comrade Youshun, take a look at the wounded. Yin Jianping, go to the vanguard squad and take a look. If the Japanese have set out, come back and report immediately!" Zhao Danian made arrangements.

Soon, the second platoon leader Zheng Changfeng led some soldiers down the mountain and came to the enemy's team. Zheng Changfeng had cleaned the battlefield many times and was familiar with this process. The three squad leaders under him were even more familiar with the process of cleaning the battlefield. Therefore, under their command, the soldiers first drove the carriage aside and then loaded the guns and ammunition taken from the enemy on the carriage.

After the guns and ammunition were looted, some soldiers turned over the bodies of the Japanese soldiers, took off their cotton coats, opened their mouths to see if there were any gold teeth, and searched their pockets to see if there were any money or other valuables. As for the backpacks that the Japanese soldiers were carrying, which were obviously much smaller, they took them off and put them on the carriage.

Well, thanks to the devil's horse-drawn carriage, these captured supplies have a place to be stored and are convenient for transportation! Fortunately, I didn't throw grenades just now, otherwise it would be bad if I injured these horses!

Zheng Changfeng led his men to happily clean up the battlefield. Li Yuexuan once again served as a medical soldier because the old Taoist priest was still in Yin Jiulang Village, so he had to do it. There was no need to look at the fallen comrades, as someone had already carried them down the mountain and put them on the carriage. Li Yuexuan looked at the nearest wounded man.

There was an obvious bullet mark on the face of the wounded, and the entire chin was covered in blood, which looked very scary. However, after checking the auxiliary panel, it was found that it was okay. The bullet only scraped off a piece of bone on the mandible and flew away. His life was not in danger. This injury was easy to treat, but it needed to be sutured. After it healed, the chin might be a little crooked. Li Yuexuan did not bring a medical kit, so he could only simply disinfect the wounded with alcohol, wrap a bandage around him, and then have someone take him down the mountain, and then take a carriage to the old Taoist to clean the wound and suture it.

As for the other wounded soldier, Li Yuexuan gave up after taking one look at him because he had already died in such a short period of time.

"Three Japanese soldiers fired their guns, killing two of us and injuring one!" Li Yuexuan sighed as he watched Zhao Danian coming over.

"All those who died were new recruits! If they hadn't opened fire in advance, perhaps things would have been better! After this battle, we'll continue training!" Zhao Danian knew that it would take time for new recruits to grow, so he could only sigh and say, "The training time is still too short! In fact, in the brother units, new recruits like this don't have the opportunity to touch guns. We are a little special!"

"Machine gunners also need training. I overheard that they didn't suppress their guns! You can take a look, there are not many Japanese soldiers killed by machine guns!" said Li Yuexuan.

"We can't help it. We don't have enough experience! Our machine gunners are the three veterans in the first row. The three in the second row are from Beiyue District. They are still rookies. And... machine gunners are consumed the fastest. One of the two who died this time was a deputy machine gunner." Zhao Danian said. "We can't help it... But fortunately, at least we have gained! You see, the cotton-padded clothes and backpacks of the 40 devils are ours, as well as the war horses and carriages, and the weapons and ammunition. By the way, I just heard the puppet army say that they are from Shanyang Village in the east, and they know the locations of all the surrounding villages and how to get to all the trails. We have to be on guard!" Li Yuexuan said.

"No matter how many precautions you take, you can't prevent a thief from your own home!" Zhao Danian said, and looked towards the ridge to the west, waiting for the vanguard squad to report the latest movements of the devils. The battle just now was very short, but the gunshots could be transmitted to the Zhoujia Village stronghold. So, they just waited for the devil's next move.

However, the expected signalman did not come, and Zhao Danian could only wait quietly. At this time, he also felt that it would be better if there was no phone call. But... time waits for no one, and there are too many things to do.

Time passed in waiting, until Yin Jianping came back, Zhao Danian learned about the latest movements of the Japs - the Japs were not moving!

Yes, the Japanese were quiet and just stayed in their stronghold and didn't come out. No one knew why.

"The Japanese didn't make any movement? That shouldn't be possible. They should be able to hear the gunshots over here." Li Yuexuan and Chen Zheng Changfeng were also a little confused by the Japanese's reaction.

"Well... Captain, we are using Type 38 rifles, and the Japanese are also using Type 38 rifles. Is it possible that the sounds of the gunfire are the same, causing the Japanese to mistakenly think that their own team is firing?" After thinking for a while, Li Yuexuan proposed this possibility.

"Aren't we still using the Czech-style strafing? And your box guns have also opened fire?" Squad Leader Zou Ming of Squad 6 raised a question.

"Well, what weapons and ammunition did you seize?" Li Yuexuan asked.

"There are 30 Type 6 rifles, 2 Hanyang rifles, 6 Type 48 light machine guns, a Czech light machine gun, a rapid-fire cannon, Turtle Box guns, a grenade launcher, grenades, and a pile of bullets..." Zou Ming said.

"Well... is there a possibility that the Japanese mistook our Czech-style rifles for the puppet army's Czech-style rifles and were firing? After all, the Japanese's Type 99 rifles are not as convenient to hold and shoot as the Czech-style rifles! Moreover, the battle just now was very short and it was over in a short burst. Maybe the Japanese didn't hear the gunshots in the middle clearly? After all, it was the Type 38 rifle that was firing at the beginning!" Li Yuexuan asked.

"This..." Everyone looked at each other, it seemed... there was really such a possibility! Otherwise, why didn't the devil send troops to check the situation?
