Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 161 Chapter 160, Those 16 Words
If you can't take the main road, you can take the side roads. Captain Guo and his men are very familiar with this road. Especially when they need to bypass the enemy's base, they have mastered at least several secret roads that bypass the base. Well, this analogy is just like a certain German map that has many maps that bypass toll booths...

Therefore, Captain Guo and his men only chose a narrow path from the south of Mianyang Mountain to bypass Yinjiulang Village. Although the path was covered with thorns and required walking on several small cliffs, it did not stop the soldiers from moving forward. Everyone wanted to contact the guerrillas before it got dark.

While the first company was anxiously moving eastward, the guerrilla vanguard squad finally opened a path in the woods and gradually approached the heavy machine gun position deployed by the Japanese on the hilltop south of Weijia Village. Looking at the heavy machine gun fortifications surrounded by sand and the Japanese sentries who were constantly patrolling, Hu Lanzhou made a quick decision to lead his men away from here.

After leaving Weijia Village, Hu Lanzhou led his men through the woods again and headed west, intending to investigate the situation in Yinjiulang Village. So, when it was getting dark, they had already arrived at the vanguard squad of Mianyang Mountain and met the scouts of the 1st Company coming towards them. Now, our reinforcements are coming!
"Report to the company commander, the situation on our side is like this..." On a small hillside in Mianyang Mountain, Hu Lanzhou reported today's battle situation.

"Oh my goodness... That is to say, your guerrillas first wiped out a Japanese squad today, then severely damaged a squadron, and in the middle blew up the roof of the Japanese artillery tower, destroying a Type 10 infantry gun. Then... you blew up nearly 15 trucks... and your casualties were only people?" Captain Guo listened to Hu Lanzhou's report with amazement and disbelief on his face.

But he thought about the previous battles to suppress bandits, the guerrillas' equipment and ammunition, the grenade launchers with an alarmingly high hit rate, the sharpshooters, the land mine, and the directional blasting mine that he had only heard of but never seen, and it seemed that what happened today was not unacceptable.

"Let's go. Where are you blocking the enemy? Lead us there quickly!" Captain Guo did not waste any time and directly ordered Hu Lanzhou and the others to lead the way towards Jigongling.

When Captain Guo and his men finally saw the main force of the guerrillas, it was already completely dark, and everyone met in the dark. After a conversation, Hu Lanzhou reported the latest situation.

"Captain, we have conducted reconnaissance and confirmed that the Japanese are stationed in Weijia Village. They have also set up heavy machine gun positions on the commanding heights on both sides of the ravine, each guarded by a heavy machine gun squad and an infantry squad. We couldn't get close to observe the situation in the village, but we saw a Japanese blocking position in the middle of the mountain road. When we came back, the Japanese on the hill and in the valley had lit bonfires."

"Is that so... The Japanese occupied Weijia Village and the commanding heights. Are they planning to fight a protracted war with us?" Xing Weiguo heard the latest intelligence and squatted on the ground with a branch to scratch: "Weijia Village is here. This is Jigong Ridge. The mountain to the north is too steep. We can't get through here. We can only go through the valley or go around from the southern hilltop."

"The valley is full of mines and bullet mines. It's easy to get hurt if you move at night. We can only go through the forest in the south. Today is the beginning of the month, there is no moon at night, so it's not easy to move..."

While Xing Weiguo was thinking about the next battle, Li Yuexuan had already accurately marked the location of the devils and the surrounding terrain through the small map on the panel. After such a long time of research, Li Yuexuan understood that this auxiliary panel was generated by combining the information he saw with the information in his mind.

For example, if he has a military map of this place, the auxiliary panel will generate a map, but it is very blurry. However, when he actually walks through this area, within a few kilometers of his sight, the three-dimensional map on the panel can determine the specific coordinate parameters, and the terrain and landforms will appear. When he evacuated, he saw the devils, so the devils' red dots appeared in Weijia Village.

That's right, Weijia Village is only about 4 miles away from Jigongling, which is just within the coverage of his small map. Well, his current coverage is already a radius of 3 kilometers. With such an auxiliary panel in hand, he can be a soldier king, and can also command battles as a live map. However, war is not a one-man show. War is a large-scale activity that competes for resources, manpower, and equipment. He is too low in position and has limited ability to change the direction of a war.

However, in this kind of small-scale local battle, such ability can actually play an important role. That is... if he proposed to be a commando or something, Zhao Danian and Xing Weiguo would be able to pin him to the ground. We are all still alive, how can it be your turn to fight to the death?
Therefore, Li Yuexuan could only quietly put aside this small map and wait for Xing Weiguo and his team's next action plan. As for the auxiliary panel? It should be used to rescue people and engage in production.

"Old Guo, do you still remember those 16 words?" In the darkness, Xing Weiguo suddenly stood up and asked Captain Guo who was smoking silently.

"Which 16 words? Old Guo has too many things in his head. Can you give me a reminder?" Captain Guo said as he exhaled a puff of thick smoke.

"Those 16 words about guerrilla warfare that we said at the conference... If the enemy advances, we retreat; if the enemy camps, we harass; if the enemy is tired, we attack; if the enemy retreats, we pursue! Do you remember?" Xing Weiguo asked.

"This, do I need you to tell me? Who among us who are fighting guerrilla warfare doesn't know this? Are you thinking of harassing us?" Captain Guo's eyes became bright, and the shadows of two flames appeared in his eyes.

"Hiss... yes! The Japanese occupied Weijia Village, which is obviously used as a bridgehead for the attack! You said that Yinjiulang Village has been burned down, and Weijia Village may not be able to be saved. However, we can't let the Japanese advance step by step and destroy villages one by one, right? So, just those 16 words: if the enemy advances, we retreat; if the enemy stays, we harass; if the enemy is tired, we attack; if the enemy retreats, we pursue! Harass tonight and pursue tomorrow morning!"

As Xing Weiguo spoke, he lit his pipe with a lighter, and the small flame in Captain Guo's eyes disappeared.

"Hehe, that's the right way to think! Well, you guys have been fighting all day, so let us take care of the harassment work tonight!" Captain Guo said in a responsible tone.

"Nonsense! Our guerrillas have only been fighting for half a day! As for the harassment, are you as familiar with the terrain as our guerrillas?" Xing Weiguo said to the soldiers around him, "Who is from Weijia Village? Stand up and say something!"
