Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 19: Changes Brought by the Grenade Launcher
Li Yuexuan did not listen to Zhao Danian's words that seemed like he was teaching on the spot, because he grabbed the grenade launcher again and loaded the last grenade on his body into the launcher.

Seeing this, Bai Dashan hurried over and dutifully brought the grenade launcher he was carrying. Of course, he also held his gun and pointed it at the direction of the devils at the foot of the mountain, keeping alert.

"Ruler, 135 meters, um, right here..." Li Yuexuan naturally moved the grenade launcher forward, stabilized the angle at 45 degrees, and then pulled the trigger.

Boom... a grenade came out of his mouth, and some smoke was still left from the muzzle of the grenade launcher, drifting away with the wind. Li Yuexuan didn't care about anything else, and reached out to take out a new grenade from Bai Dashan's ammunition bag, pulled out the safety pin, and stuffed it into the barrel of the grenade launcher.

To be honest, Li Yuexuan had some complaints about the Japanese Type 89 grenade launcher. This thing is too small, and the curved bottom plate is too misleading. If he didn't know how to use it, he would have the urge to put it on his thigh and fire it. No wonder the American soldiers did this.

The point is that this thing is too small and inconvenient to use. And it is not convenient to put grenades in it because of the rifling. What's more annoying is that it is fired by a trigger, which requires two hands to operate.

Therefore, Li Yuexuan missed the Dinglong grenade launcher that our Eighth Route Army imitated back then. Well, although it is an imitation, it is much more convenient to use than this one.

Just when Li Yuexuan was secretly complaining about the awkwardness of this grenade launcher, the grenade he fired had already drawn a parabola in the air and landed accurately on the place where Watanabe and the others were hiding.

Boom... The grenade from the grenade launcher exploded, with an 8-meter explosion radius, accurately blowing up Watanabe. Because of the obstruction of the hilltop, Li Yuexuan did not see Watanabe being blown to death, but he could see dust rising from the bottom of the ravine, and even saw half an arm.

Without further hesitation, Li Yuexuan adjusted the angle of the grenade launcher slightly, aiming it at a place slightly off the point where it had landed. Then, he decisively pulled the trigger again.

Boom...the grenade flew out of his mouth and rose up in the air.

Li Yuexuan didn't care about the grenade launcher anymore. Instead, he threw it aside and picked up the water beads.

Boom... Li Yuexuan had just picked up the gun when the second grenade exploded, and a cloud of dust flew up again in the ravine where the Japanese were hiding.

"Good, very good! We need talents like this!" Captain Huang looked over here and couldn't help but sigh.

"A military doctor alone can take on the responsibility of an entire shift!" Xing Weiguo also sighed casually.

"Lao Zhou, send three people out to check the situation of the Japanese! Then, set up a firepower point over there!" Zhao Danian had adjusted his mentality, so he gave the order in time.

"Lan Zhou, take your machine gun team and check the situation of the Japanese!" Xing Weiguo ordered Hu Lanzhou.

"Understood! Lai Fu, Zhang Lu, let's go!" Hu Lanzhou gave the Type 99 rifle to Lai Fu, and walked in front holding a Type 38 rifle with a bayonet, and walked down the mountain along the mountain road.

At the same time, Captain Huang also sent five soldiers to check the situation where Watanabe and others were.

Why did these two people do this? One reason was to completely annihilate Watanabe and his men and eliminate the threat to their flanks. After all, no one wanted to have a living enemy between the two positions and shoot them in the back.

Another reason? To capture the spoils! Six of the Japanese had been killed just now, and then they were hit by two more shells. If they dealt with the remaining soldiers, they would get the equipment of a small team! It was not that Captain Huang and Zhao Danian had the intention of snatching the spoils, but both sides needed to replenish weapons and ammunition. Especially the 6rd Company, which needed it even more. The small actions here naturally could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Japanese. Moreover, the Japanese still had more than half of the team fighting with the 3rd Company, so they would naturally not just stand by and watch.

In fact, Captain Kishida was at a loss. His squad was still exchanging fire with the 3rd Company, but there was no machine gun fire to suppress it. Not only that, his soldiers were suppressed by the machine guns of the Eighth Route Army.

Of course, he still had room to fight back, that is, his two grenade launchers could completely turn the tide of the battle. However, after firing a full six grenades, the Eighth Route Army machine gun on the opposite side was still fighting. That machine gun moved left and right, up and down, and changed its position after firing a few shots. It was impossible to catch it!

As for the battle just now, he was not far away, so he naturally saw it, but he was unable to send out reinforcements in time. In fact, the Watanabe squad was killed too quickly, in less than a minute.

"What on earth is the squadron leader thinking? Either retreat or send reinforcements!" Captain Kishida was hiding about 3 meters away from the 300rd Company, looking back anxiously. In fact, the straight-line distance between him and his squadron leader was less than 100 meters, and the messenger delivered the order quickly.

"Baga... Yalu..." The battle just now was very abnormal, and Kato was a little confused. The Eighth Route Army was very tenacious, but when did the Eighth Route Army have such an accurate grenade launcher shooter?

"Kawashima, how many people are there in your team?" Kato asked a lieutenant officer beside him.

"Captain, there are still 42 soldiers!" Kawashima Daisuke replied with his head down.

"Do you see that hill over there? That's another position of the Eighth Route Army! You, take your men up the mountain from the east immediately and capture the Eighth Route Army over there for me!" Kato pointed to where the guerrillas were.

"Hayi!" Kawashima Daixiong answered with his head down.

"Be careful, the Eighth Route Army has a very powerful grenade thrower soldier, don't get blown up!" Kato did not forget to remind.

"Understood!" Kawashima agreed, and ran south with his men, then turned and headed towards the cliff in the east.

Lao Zhao is worthy of being the guerrilla leader active here. The place he chose is really good. At least for the location where the Japanese are, if they want to find a place to go up the mountain, they have to retreat some distance to the south.

The actions of the Japs were naturally seen by the guerrillas who were in a high position.

"Captain, are the Japanese retreating or planning to go up the mountain?" Li Yuexuan asked.

"No matter what, there are not many Japanese left at the foot of the mountain! Weiguo, take Lowe's machine gun team down and help the 3rd Company to annihilate the Japanese in front of them first!" Zhao Danian said.

"I understand! Haha, Hu Lanzhou and the others have already dealt with the remaining enemies. We can use that as a breakthrough point!" As Xing Weiguo spoke, he turned around and walked down the hill with Luo Wei and the others.
