Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 158 Chapter 157, Double Thunder

Woof woof woof... The Japanese wolfhound howled non-stop, because the smell of the people it often ate was getting closer and closer to its nose, and it couldn't help but drool.

Hur, rumble... A squad of Japanese soldiers followed closely behind the wolfhounds in front. Three Japanese soldiers carrying flags ran side by side in the front, and the Japanese soldiers following behind were divided into groups of five and walked side by side, looking vigilantly at both sides while running. Behind them, the Japanese squad leader was alone in a row, and at the end was a group of four machine guns.

The wolfhound ran very fast, it was just following the scent and didn't care if there was an ambush; the Japanese soldiers also ran very fast, they wanted to follow the wolfhound to catch up with the Eighth Route Army, and didn't care that there was a wicker basket commonly seen in ordinary people's homes placed in the middle of the road in front of them.

Whoosh...the wolfhound jumped quickly, jumped over the wicker basket, and continued to run forward.

"Bagaya..." The boy who was following the wolfhound cursed and kicked the basket so far away that he continued to move forward, not paying any attention to the white smoke rising from under his feet.

However, before the cluster grenade exploded, the Japanese soldier following behind stepped on the pedal of a homemade mine on the roadside.

Then... boom... black smoke rose up and iron sand splashed...

Boom boom boom… The cluster grenade exploded with a bang, and a huge shock wave swept around, blowing the Japanese soldiers covered in iron sand into all directions…

"Haha... double kill at once... awesome!" Li Yuexuan watched the scene from the hill in the east where he was lying in ambush. He clenched his fist and swung it hard while shouting.

"Haha... we're going to make a lot of money this time... get ready for battle!" While Li Yuexuan was speaking, Xing Weiguo also gave orders.

Soon, dozens of rifle muzzles poked out of the hill, four Czech-style rifles were set up high, and five grenade launchers were ready to fire. This time, Jiang Daquan, who had been training with Li Yuexuan, operated the grenade launcher, and it was his first actual combat with a grenade launcher since he joined the army.

"Girl, you did a good job today! You didn't get stage fright, that's great! Now you must keep your hands steady, control your breathing, and aim and shoot!" Li Yuexuan finally had time to teach the little girl Xu Hongying.

"Yes, Third Brother, I know!" Xu Hongying hugged Ma Sihuan and turned to give Li Yuexuan a smile.

To the west, at the explosion site, the smoke finally cleared, and 13 Japanese soldiers were lying on the ground in a mess, with a lame wolfhound howling.

Seeing this, Li Yuexuan took out his beloved Zeiss telescope and looked at the scene over there under Xu Hongying's envious eyes. Not bad, there were still a few Japanese soldiers breathing, but the large amount of blood under their bodies showed that they would not live long. As for the wolfhound, because it ran a little faster, only the shock wave broke its two hind legs, and it was now dragging its legs to crawl to the west.

Seeing the two mines explode, Li Yuexuan let out a sigh of relief and looked further away through the telescope.

In the west, Fukawa Akira had already arrived with the main force of the Japanese army, but he stopped more than 50 meters away from the explosion site, and then sent a small team forward to search.

"Captain, shall we fight?" Zou Ming asked when he saw the large Japanese army.

"The Japanese are still some far away, so let's not fight them for now! Our goal is to delay the Japanese attack as long as possible! The longer we delay, the more prepared the captain will be!" Xing Weiguo said.

"Pay attention, new recruits, put your guns down and don't put your fingers on the trigger..." Zheng Changfeng quickly gave orders to the new recruits, and stopped fighting for the time being.

To the west, the Japanese squad carefully came to the explosion site and squatted down to check on the wounded. In the back, Bukawa was not idle either, asking all the machine gun crews to find positions and set up positions, and also pointed at the surrounding hills and asked the machine gun crews to fire exploratory shots.

The Japanese didn't care about the bullets at all. The bullets whizzed over everyone's heads, which made Xing Weiguo feel distressed. Don't give me these bullets. It's such a waste!
"Reporting to the captain..." The Japanese squad turned back to report that the squad in front had all been killed and were waiting for the next order.

"Chase, keep chasing..." Fukawa Akidai turned around, grabbed an interpreter by the collar, and said to him, "Let the Imperial Army go in front, go!"

The Japanese translator walked back along the team with a swagger, and came to a group of puppet soldiers dressed in the uniforms of the Imperial Army. That's right, the little Japanese remembered at this time that when they came out, they brought the Imperial Army out of the stronghold, and it was time to put them to use. Fukawa Akidai didn't care about the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army, and even disdained to let them help carry the bodies.

In Fukawa Akida's opinion, the bodies of the imperial soldiers are noble. Even if they are dead, they cannot be easily touched by the lower imperial army! Of course, the Chinese flower girls are not included here. Flower girls are great. This time, we must capture some and bring them back to the base to enjoy every day...

In just a few minutes, a group of imperial soldiers ran up from the back of the Japanese army. Seeing them gasping for breath, you can tell how hard it was for them to run all the way here. At this time, they received the order and, under the command of a company commander with a box gun and a platoon leader with a box gun, they divided a dozen people and walked on the road to the east.

A dozen puppet soldiers walked in front, dozens of the main force walked more than 50 meters behind, and behind them was the Japanese army, forming an attacking echelon.

"……" In the east, on the hill, seeing the puppet troops coming out, everyone's originally excited mood suddenly became gloomy, so no one spoke and just watched the performance of these puppet troops.

"These evils..." No one spoke, but Li Yuexuan sighed helplessly in his heart...

We are all Chinese; we just want to make a living; we are also forced; we shoot into the air... Thinking about the words of the puppet soldiers, Li Yuexuan wants to say: When you put on that skin, picked up weapons, and pointed the muzzle of the gun and the edge of the knife at the villagers who gave birth to you and raised you, you are no longer a person! So, you all deserve to die!
Soon, the puppet army passed by the explosion site. Looking at the Japanese and dogs that had been neatly laid out on the side, the leading puppet soldiers were so frightened that their legs went weak and they refused to move forward.

"Damn it, move faster, don't let the imperial army destroy you..." A puppet army platoon leader fired a shot from his box gun into the air, scaring the puppet soldiers in front of him so much that they actually started to jog.

However, before they had run far, there was a loud bang, black smoke rose, iron sand flew all over the sky, and more than a dozen puppet soldiers fell to the ground... "Tai Tai... Taishou, this..." The company commander of the puppet army was frightened by the explosion.

"Mr. Kong, don't be afraid. The Eighth Route Army doesn't have many mines. Go ahead!" Fukawa Akira spoke in awkward Chinese and patted Captain Kong on the cheek.

"Damn it, following the Imperial Army means going hungry for nine meals in three days, and even risking your life..." At this time, someone in the puppet army was muttering in a low voice.

"Brother Zhou, what can you do? If you have the guts, why don't you shoot the Imperial Army's hidden guns? And see if the Imperial Army will kill your whole family?" someone responded.

"Brothers, let's knock our heads to the ground together, don't say I don't take care of you. When the fight starts, if you don't want to die quickly, quickly find a place to lie down and shoot!"

"If you still have a conscience, just point your gun at nothing. You'll be cursed for the rest of your life anyway. We can't compare to those who still have backbone, so don't lose your conscience!"

Well, it seems that some people are reasonable, but I don’t know whether it is true or false or a test, and I don’t know whether they are loyal to the bald man or the devils pretending to be... In short, it is very complicated...

The guerrillas were in no mood to care about the situation of the Japanese and the puppet army. Now they had to make a decision whether to fight or retreat, because there was still one landmine and 1 bullet mines along the way. Even if the puppet army triggered all of them, it would not make much sense.

However, at this time, the puppet army was blocking the front, and the Japanese behind still maintained the previous formation. Only one small team of Japanese followed behind the puppet army. Once the fighting started, the Japanese would immediately fight back.

Xing Weiguo thought about it, looked at the enemy's formation, and finally made up his mind. So when the puppet soldiers were still pushing and shoving to choose the personnel to explore the way ahead, Xing Weiguo on the hill issued a new order: "Everyone, take my gunshot as the order! Rifle fire 2 shots, grenade launcher 2 rounds, machine gun fire one magazine, and retreat after that! Squad 1 will be the rear guard!"

After saying that, Xing Weiguo raised his Type 38 rifle, aimed at the Japanese troops, and fired a shot.

Whoosh... The bullets reached the enemy's team before the gunshots, and a machine gunner had his head blown up. As the gunshots came, countless bullets flew over.

Ahhhh… the Japanese soldiers' dying howls were heard along with the gunshots, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers fell to the ground. Even the Japanese machine guns did not fire immediately. That's right, Li Yuexuan and Bai Dabao were there, and there were still a few sharpshooters in the team, so the first shot focused on the machine gunner who posed the greatest threat.

"Baga... fight back..." Captain Bukawa swung his command knife, and the Japanese immediately raised their guns, aimed at the guerrillas and fired.

At this moment, the second volley of gunfire from the guerrillas rang out. Countless bullets flew over and, together with the machine gun bullets that had never stopped, caused more than a dozen casualties to the Japanese.

After the guerrillas finished fighting, they turned around and hid behind the hillside, but the grenades from the grenade launcher fell into the Japanese team. After five explosions, there were five more explosions.

However, no guerrillas cared about the casualties of the Japanese. Even Li Yuexuan was too lazy to look at the red dot on the auxiliary panel. What's the point of looking at it? Killing the Japanese but not getting any spoils? It also delayed his walk! What he cared about was that the Japanese's counterattack just now actually injured three new recruits who leaned out taller, and there were more casualties.

"Follow my steps, there are no mines here!" At the foot of the hill, Sun Tieguai, the deputy squad leader of Class 1, ran in front and led everyone to a path without mines. No one spoke, the wounded were supported by their comrades and walked in front, and the main force walked behind, heading east along the path, looking for the next blocking location.

After everyone had gone, Hu Yanlong divided the soldiers of Class 1 into two groups. One group laid booby traps while walking on the path, while the other group walked in the minefield, kicking away many wicker baskets and not even caring about the camouflage of the bullet mines. Well, he played the real and fake game very clearly.

The guerrillas ran away after the fight. Although three of them were injured, they were not seriously injured. The bullet went through their bodies on their shoulders. It was easy to treat and recover. Well, the power of the Japanese bullets is related to the shooting distance. The lethality is very large within 200 meters, but it is not so strong between 200 and 600 meters. After 600 meters, the lethality suddenly increases, and the end rolls violently.

Of course, the numbers are not absolute, but the three injured people are indeed not in any danger now.

Here, the guerrillas evacuated, but the Japanese had not stopped fighting. Gunshots continued to ring, light machine guns also fired, and even grenade launchers landed on the hill. If the guerrillas had not evacuated in time, there would not be three casualties. And what about the puppet troops in front? Well, they all lay on the ground obediently. The brave ones could still shoot, while the timid ones simply closed their eyes and waited for death.

The Japanese fought for a while, and when they realized that there was no counterattack, they stopped and looked at their own casualties.
At this moment, a burst of gunfire came from the east, which seemed to be the sound of a light machine gun. This made the Japanese raise their guns again and continue shooting towards the east.

However, after firing a few shots, there was no movement, but the Japanese did not dare to relax their vigilance. After more than a minute of waiting, when there was no more gunfire, the Japanese finally determined that the Eighth Route Army had gone far away, and then they dared to check the wounded and the damage.

"Hahahaha..." In the east, on the mountain road, everyone laughed as they heard the Japanese soldiers firing a burst of gunfire followed by a string of firecrackers.

"This sparrow war is good, but I haven't used it for a long time. I almost forgot that we can still play this game with the Japanese! We fought a sparrow war with the Japanese in Jinzhong last year!" Xing Weiguo said as he walked.

"Well, captain, where are we going to continue to stop the Japanese this time? There are a lot of weird terrains here. I think if we keep playing like this, the Japanese can be almost wiped out before they can reach Liangjia Village! Hehe, this time we have seized 48 grenade launchers, so we're still making a profit!" Li Yuexuan walked up to Xing Weiguo and asked about the next blocking location.

"Go forward another 500 meters, there is a good terrain! Let the Japanese continue to step on mines along the way!" Xing Weiguo looked at the terrain and gave a new ambush location.

"Hahaha... Let's go, comrades. Let the Japs follow us and eat the mines! Let's go, let's go to the front and wait for the Japs..." Hearing the new ambush point, everyone cheered and walked quickly.

On the Japanese side, new casualties were reported to Fukawa Akira again: in the previous battle, 6 machine gunners were killed, 25 ordinary soldiers were killed, and 21 were injured, not including the Imperial Army.

Therefore, the Japs once again faced the choice of whether to continue fighting.
