Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 152 Chapter 151, Impossible!

"Ahem, this is just my personal guess. What's the specific situation? Why don't we go over and take a look?" Li Yuexuan suggested when he saw that no one was talking.

"Let's go and take a look?" Zhao Danian looked at Zheng Changfeng and got a nod in response.

"Let's go!" Zhao Danian was not vague, and immediately took Zheng Changfeng and Li Yuexuan's heavy firepower squad to the west of the Niutou position on Woniu Mountain. At this time, the soldiers in the second row were still continuing to loot the devils and puppet soldiers, so they stayed where they were and continued to work.

The mountain road was a little over a kilometer long, and everyone jogged all the way and soon arrived at the destination. At this time, the soldiers of the vanguard squad were still observing the enemy situation, and when they saw the captain coming, they quickly showed up to greet him.

"You continue to observe!" Zhao Danian waved his hand, and took Li Yuexuan and Zheng Changfeng to find a higher rock, and then the three of them climbed up.

Soon, three telescopes appeared on the top of the stone, observing the movements of the Japanese stronghold. Because of the high position, it was easy to see the whole picture of Zhoujia Village stronghold.

Zhoujia Village is located in a mountainous area to the east and has a lot of land, so it is a large village. Today, the village has lost its original appearance, with only the original village wall remaining. Through this circle of walls, we can roughly tell the size of the original village, which was more than 200 meters in radius.

At first glance, the most obvious building in this village is a three-story turret and the surrounding buildings that serve as residential areas. In addition to these, there are several small bunkers scattered around the turret as guards, protecting the central turret and the residential area.

The central turret residential area, the surrounding bunkers, and a circle of walls with barbed wire formed this stronghold. Perhaps to facilitate entry and exit, the stronghold has three gates in the east, west and south.

At this point, the general situation of this stronghold is clear! The central turret is used for defense and observation, and the surrounding bunkers are for protection. The Japanese and puppet troops will live in the residential area below the bunkers and turrets. The stronghold's walls and barbed wire are a circle of protection, and the outer village walls are also a layer of protection, because between the village walls and the stronghold walls, Li Yuexuan also saw trenches and trenches.

Through Li Yuexuan's telescope, in a yard in the stronghold, there were a dozen Type 3 military trucks parked, some Japanese soldiers were walking back and forth in the middle of the house, and there were three Japanese soldiers standing guard on the turret. From the direction of the three Japanese sentries, it was clear that they could observe all the areas around the stronghold, with no blind spots at all.

The most eye-catching thing was the Type 92 infantry gun on the top of the turret. It was very small, with the barrel pointing upwards, facing east. However, the artillery was not there.

Looking down through the telescope, the firing holes on the turret appeared in front of him. Li Yuexuan could even see the silhouette of a Japanese soldier swaying in a larger firing hole.

"The 4th Independent Mixed Brigade..." Looking at this base, Li Yuexuan pondered the information of this Japanese brigade, and then thought of something. Well, this brigade will be expanded later to become the 62nd Division, and then it will be pulled to the Pacific battlefield to defend Hacksaw Ridge. Then, the Japanese used the tactics they learned in China on the Eagle Sauce...

Well, how did that sentence come about? Why did the 62nd Division, which was beaten by the guerrillas in Shanxi and dared not leave its base, become so smart in Hacksaw Ridge? Thinking of this, Li Yuexuan smiled slightly and tilted his head.

"Captain, I estimated the distance. The infantry gun on the top of the stronghold is 574 meters away from me. The maximum range of the grenade launcher in my hand is 700 meters, and the effective range is 500 meters. I might try to blow up the Type infantry gun with the grenade launcher!" Li Yuexuan put down the telescope and pointed at the gun tower with one hand. "At this distance... are you sure?" Zhao Danian was a little moved, and then asked.

"I have about 5% chance of success! The Japanese's artillery tower is round, with an inner diameter of 8 meters. I just need to hit the roof with the grenade! If one shot doesn't work, just hit it a few more times. Just one shot will be enough! The question now is, should we attack this stronghold? We were lucky in the battle just now! If we fight again... it's hard to say!" Li Yuexuan reminded.

"Should we fight or not? Of course we should! If we don't fight, will we just watch the Japanese invaders go to the surrounding villages and harm the people? Let's go back and study it! Hu Lanzhou, you guys continue to observe. If the Japanese invaders make any unusual movements, report back immediately!" Zhao Danian said, and called everyone back to Yin Jiulang Village...

"I agree to fight!" In the small temporary team headquarters, Xing Weiguo agreed to continue attacking the stronghold.

"I agree to fight too! If we, the Eighth Route Army, don't fight the Japanese, what's the point of being the Eighth Route Army?" Zheng Changfeng also agreed to fight.

"Okay, since you agree to fight, then everyone please give your opinions. How should we fight?" Zhao Danian looked at Li Yuexuan again to listen to his opinion.

"Fight... there are many ways! For example, use a grenade launcher to attack the artillery tower, and then run away! For example, shoot the Japanese sentry with a cold gun, and then run away! For example, make some noise here to lure the Japanese out and ambush them!" Li Yuexuan said, and then a small idea gradually took shape, and then he said it out...

Harada Zhiqing was an ordinary Japanese soldier. His mission today was to conduct surveillance and reconnaissance on the roof of the Zhoujia Village stronghold. Just an hour ago, he saw with his own eyes that the team responsible for collecting grain from the countryside left the stronghold. However, he himself was guarding the roof of the stronghold diligently and listening to the movements around him.

He didn't know how long it had been, but suddenly he heard the familiar sound of Type 38 rifle gunfire coming from the valley in the east, followed by another burst of gunfire, which made him nervous.

"Watanabe-kun, has something happened to the team in the east?" Harada Zhiqing asked Watanabe Muraichiro.

"I heard it too, but it's normal, because this is a common method we use when we go to the countryside! There is a saying in China called "beating the grass to startle the snakes", which means that hitting the grass with a wooden stick will scare away the poisonous snakes in the grass! So, don't be surprised... Listen, the gunfire has stopped, and the team will continue to move forward!" Watanabe Murakaichiro said nonchalantly.

"But, could it be that the team was ambushed and wiped out?" Harada Zhiqing continued to ask without giving up.

"That's impossible! You have to understand that Captain Shimizu brought two infantry squads, a grenade launcher group, and part of the transport team. They are all veterans with rich combat experience! If they are ambushed, the enemy will be defeated! As far as I know, no team can wipe out one of our squads in ten seconds!"
