Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 155 Chapter 154, The Japs Finally Came Out

"Sergeant, should we alert the enemy with what we did just now?" Bai Dashan suddenly asked this question on the way back up the mountain.

"I guess so..." Li Yuexuan pondered for a moment and then said, "You all remember that our guerrillas' combat style can be very flexible and changeable, and sometimes we don't need to stick to any particular format! Now that we have a large number of people, we can fight against the enemy's squadron-level forces, so we have all these battle preparations today."

"If you are outnumbered but have a large battle depth, you can use a variety of combat methods to kill the enemy! For example, your brother's two shots today, you can also quietly approach the enemy and snipe their important targets, then leave without any delay!"

"If the enemy pursues us, use bullet mines, grenades and trip mines to stop them! If there is enough time and you have engineer shovels and engineer pickaxes like we did today, you can also dig traps for the enemy! You can even find a water source and poison the enemy! It's a pity that the independent detachment found us so many oleanders, but we can't use them on the Japanese today!" said Li Yuexuan.

"Is it useless?" Bai Dabao asked.

"Yes, it's useless! There is a well in the enemy's base, and we don't have the ability to put poison into the water! Remember, there are many poisons in nature, but most of them are concentrated in the south. The most convenient poison to find in the north is oleander! A small leaf can kill a child! Oleander flowers can cause poisoning just by holding them in your mouth for a while!"

"You know the Bamboo Leaf Green Snake, right? It's not the Bamboo Leaf Green wine that you drink, but the Bamboo Leaf Green Snake! The toxicity of oleander is 7 times that of snake venom! It's a pity that there is no chance to use it on the Japanese!" Li Yuexuan said with regret.

"Sergeant, there will be a chance! Deputy Sergeant Chen has taken some oleander to prepare, saying it can be used as medicine... I really don't dare to eat anything the old man gives me..." Bai Dabao said.

"The old Taoist priest is a very good doctor, and poison also has its uses. If used properly, it can cure diseases and save lives! Well, what happens next depends on how the Japanese react!" Li Yuexuan glanced to the west while speaking.

To the west, in the artillery tower, Captain Kazuo Ishihara and Captain Kodai Fukawa sat opposite each other, with a table in the middle, on which was a radio and a telephone.

"I didn't expect that we were the first to be attacked by the Eighth Route Army after taking action a day later!" Fukawa Akira sighed, took out a piece of paper and said, "According to the statistics just now, three sentries were killed, seven artillerymen were killed, two trucks in the stronghold were blown up, and the pursuing trucks and all 3 soldiers were killed by the attackers! There are also six bodies of the Shimizu team brought in by the carriage..."

"Don't count. Our casualties today have exceeded 60! If all of Shimizu's team died, that would be 69!" Captain Ishihara Kazuo said, and stood up: "Fukawa-kun, my troops have probably lost 40 people, and your garrison has lost 29 people! We must take action!"

"So, lend me a squadron, and I will organize a squadron to chase this group of Eighth Route Army soldiers. We must annihilate them! If we don't take the initiative to attack, we will become the laughing stock of the Fourth Mixed Brigade! Moreover, the Eighth Route Army has taken advantage of us today. If we don't strike hard, they will become more and more arrogant!"

"Mr. Fukawa, you don't want the stronghold you are guarding to be attacked by the Eighth Route Army from time to time in the future, right?" Captain Kazuo Ishihara said with an inexplicable smile on his face.

"Okay, Ishihara-kun, I will assign Miyazaki Junji's squad to you! When your team comes back, what should I do?" Fukawa Akira said. "Let the Kuraben squad coming back from the north go directly up the mountain and advance eastward from the mountain! Let the Mita squad coming back from the south stay in the base!" Captain Ishihara stood up and said as he walked, "I'll go reorganize the team, you give the order!"

The two Japanese officers had a short time to discuss. After all, this matter was a bit aggrieved. Both squadrons had lost people, and everyone was responsible. If this matter was not handled well, their future would be worrying! Therefore, with their concerted efforts, Captain Ishihara brought three fully staffed infantry squads, plus his squadron headquarters personnel, and directly stepped onto 3 Type 11 military trucks.

"Machine gunners, take up the machine gun positions, and be ready to launch exploratory shots at the surrounding hillsides at any time! Everybody set off..." Ishihara Kazuo said, closed the car door, and the convoy rumbled out of the south gate of the stronghold.

The convoy reached the southern mountain road and turned east. Some of the vanguard squad staying at the top of Niutou Mountain also left Niutou and flew towards Yin Jiulang Village.

Yin Jianping is a young man from Yin Jiulang Village. He is a new recruit who just joined the guerrillas and is now a communications soldier in the team. Why is the village called Yin Jiulang Village? Because the village was originally developed after a family surnamed Yin lived here! The first generation of the Yin family had 9 sons, which allowed them to develop a village. Well, when it comes to developing family population, men have a lot of advantages!
Therefore, adding a 9 to the name of Yinjia Village is very impressive! Of course, there are even more powerful ones, such as Shijiulang Village...

Yin Jianping ran all the way along the ridge where he had played since he was a child, and soon arrived at the village. He pushed open the door of his house, and Zhao Danian and the others all looked up at him.

"Report to the captain, the Japs are coming out! There are 11 trucks, all full of Japs! There are also heavy machine guns and light machine guns on the trucks!" Yin Jianping panted and delivered the information in time.

"Huh? Hahahaha... The Japanese are coming! Go, tell all the comrades to immediately set up booby traps at the entrance of the village and at the doors of each house, then leave the village and enter the ambush position! Tell the transport team to get ready immediately, and when you hear the sound of a car, run east immediately!" After Zhao Danian finished speaking, he left the village with his comrades in the team headquarters.

After the captain and his men left, the comrades from Class 5 used the grenades they brought to set booby traps at the entrance of the village and at the doors of each house, then left the village and entered the ambush position.

The ambush positions set up by the guerrillas were set up on the east and west sides of the village, including Li Yuexuan's 20 explosion points, which were also set up 500 meters on each side of the village. However, Zhao Danian and his men did not plan to fight in the village rooms, but chose the back of the northern ridge as the main ambush position.

Yinjiulang Village is a village built on the southern slope of Woniu Mountain. The ups and downs of the mountain do not affect the shooting from high places. Of course, there are still some people ambushed behind the village wall. They carry a large number of grenades and are ready for close-range bombing.

We had been prepared for this, so 5 minutes after Zhao Danian gave the order, the entire ambush position was in place, waiting for the arrival of the Japanese.
