Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 206 Chapter 205, Bombing and Various Blockades

At dawn, the New 1st Regiment finally left the railway line and followed a ravine to the south, entering the mountains south of the railway. In order to let the devils follow their tracks, Li Yunlong deliberately had someone poke a hole in a bag of rice, so that the rice would be scattered all along the mountain road.

Seeing the soldiers unwilling to give up the rice bags on their shoulders even though they were out of breath, Li Yunlong felt a little reluctant. But this was food... Li Yunlong really couldn't bear to let the food be burned! So he shouted loudly: "Comrades, cheer up, food is life, hold on!"

"Captain... we are back!" At this time, the 4th Battalion, which had been carrying the railroad tracks to hide, returned along the same route and ran into Li Yunlong and his men head-on.

"Haha... good, very good! Second Battalion Commander, Third Battalion Commander, hand over your food to the comrades of the Fourth Battalion! Zhang Dabiao, come here!" Li Yunlong shouted loudly.

"Captain, what's the matter? Tell me!" Zhao Danian came over and said.

"I'll give you a mission! Go south and gather your battalion's troops along the way. Set up a blocking position for me in the south of Liulin Mountain to cover our retreat! Commander of the 4th Battalion, Supplementary Battalion, you took this batch of food all the way south. It's all my fault that I sent it to Liangjia Village! This time, I was greedy and sent more food to Liangjia Village!"

"Also, when you get there, tell Captain Zhao that my New 1st Regiment plans to mobilize the Japanese to circle around him, so that he can be ready to fight at any time. Go..."

After Zhang Dabiao, Niu Youtian and others carried the food and some of the spoils all the way south, Li Yunlong let out a sigh and said, "Damn it, I'm greedy! Not only am I greedy for the food, but I'm also greedy for the devils! Let's leave traces on purpose, let the devils catch up with us, and then find a place to beat the hell out of them! Second Battalion Commander, go, Xiao Cui set up a bombing point in Yangshugou last night, go there!"

The main force of the New 1st Regiment left, but Cui Ming, the secretary of the regiment headquarters, did not leave. Under the protection of a squad of the special forces company, he stayed on a hill about kilometer away from the railway.

At this time, the Qingshui Brigade coming from Yangquan in the west had already marched all the way to the railway in the north. At the same time, the Liusheng Squadron coming from Niangziguan in the east also arrived in front of the overturned train.

"Bagaya Road..." The Japanese soldiers surrounded the train, looking at the neatly arranged Japanese corpses, the messy footprints on the ground, and the large amount of food and bullets spilled due to the overturned train. Captain Yagyu loudly cursed the few Japanese curses.

There were quite a lot of Japanese soldiers, and there were probably hundreds of them surrounding the train. Even Captain Shimizu rode his warhorse and watched the train from a distance, intending to count how much supplies were left. This time, the supplies were for their 4th Independent Mixed Brigade, and they were looted just like that. He was furious...

"Secretary Cui, we can't wait any longer, let's detonate! After the explosion, run quickly..." On the southern hilltop, Squad Leader Hu of the Special Forces Company accurately assessed the situation and said to Secretary Cui.

"Okay, detonate..." Cui Ming followed suit because he knew he was a layman when it came to fighting.

Crash... The handle of the telephone was shaken violently, and the electric current flowed along the buried wires to a carriage of the train, causing an electric detonator to explode.

Boom... the electric detonator exploded, and the surrounding 500 kilograms of TNT were also successfully detonated by the detonator. First, there was a flash that was particularly bright in the summer day, and then a huge mushroom cloud rose above the railway. In the middle were the train cars, sleepers, bullets, shells, rice and other supplies in the adjacent carriages that were blown apart by the shock wave of the explosion.

These things were scattered by the shock wave, some flew into the sky, while others flew sideways and rushed straight towards the surrounding Japanese devils!
As for the Japanese soldiers surrounding the carriage, they had never thought that the Eighth Route Army would dare to plant explosives on the train! So, there were about 500 Japanese soldiers in front of the train. This time... there were nearly a hundred Japanese soldiers torn apart by the shock wave, and they were directly torn into pieces of flesh and blood! Then, the remaining Japanese soldiers were either knocked down by the shock wave or hit by various fragments...

At this moment, some sporadic explosions were heard. It was the remaining shells in the ammunition compartment that exploded in the high temperature of the TNT explosion.

In short, the scene was in a mess, and the Japanese were dead everywhere. This was equal to the total record of the New 1st Regiment last night!
Buzz... At this moment, Cui Ming felt his ears buzzing, his head buzzing, and his vision was a little black! That's right, he saw the explosion with his own eyes, saw the flashing light, and heard the roar of the explosion...

"Haha, what a big firecracker! Secretary Cui, let's go! You run first, we'll fire a few shots!" Squad Leader Hu had fought in so many battles that he was not affected at all. He shouted loudly and let Cui Ming run first.

"What did you say? I can't hear you..." Cui Ming's ears were buzzing, and he didn't hear what squad leader Hu shouted. Then, he saw squad leader Hu and his men set up machine guns and fired at the Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain in the north. In front of him, he saw bullet shells flying and gunfire spurting out, but his ears were still buzzing.

"Bagaya Road..." Cui Ming, who was mentally prepared, could feel the buzzing sound even from a distance, not to mention Captain Qingshui and his men. So, Captain Qingshui was cursing, and the other Japanese soldiers who were not killed but were affected by the explosion were also cursing.

Then, they were attracted by the bullets fired from the southern hilltop. At a distance of more than a thousand meters, the Czech bullets were naturally inaccurate, and even the landing points were scattered. Although the damage was not great, it was extremely insulting! This provocative behavior strongly stimulated the sensitive nerves of the devils!

Therefore, Captain Qingshui didn't care about the dead Japanese soldiers on the ground. He waved his command knife and shouted loudly in the direction of Squad Leader Hu and his men: "Chase... Hurry up, chase..."

Squad leader Hu and his men had two Czech rifles in their hands. They used up two magazines and wasted 40 rounds of ammunition just to let the Japanese catch up! Seeing that the Japanese really caught up, they gave up the hill and ran away. Of course, they did not forget to take Cui Ming with them and move to the south together.

Cui Ming's headache was no longer so severe, so he started to move forward and followed Squad Leader Hu and the others all the way south to Yangshugou.

At this time, as time went on, the sound waves of the explosion also reached Yangshugou.

"Did you hear it? That was the explosion arranged by Cui Ming! Now, prepare for battle!" After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he pulled the safety of the box gun in his hand to the bottom, ready to fire at any time.

The New 1000st Regiment, under the leadership of our Lao Li, was making more and more noise. The Qingshui Battalion and the Liusheng Squadron, a total of more than 300 people, had not seen the shadow of the Eighth Route Army, but more than 200 were killed and more than were injured. Then, they followed squad leader Hu and his men all the way south, intending to take revenge.

Of course, Shimizu Liansuke was no fool. After he gave the order to pursue, he reported the situation he had just encountered to the brigade headquarters and asked the brigade headquarters to report it to the military headquarters in order to obtain reinforcements.

Meijin soon received the report and knew that he had been tricked by the Eighth Route Army again. He was furious and ordered the Gaoqiao Battalion heading east from Ping'an County to march eastward quickly to form a pincer with the Qingshui Battalion. At the same time, the Qingyue Battalion heading towards Jiuguan from Jingxing had to speed up and reach Baijing Town by noon. However, after the order was sent, the reply was - blocked!

At this time, in Weijia Village, Captain Guo had a circle of gauze wrapped around his head, but it still couldn't stop the red blood from seeping out of the gauze.

"Damn it, are the Japs crazy? Not only are more than a thousand people marching at night, they are even using infantry artillery! Tell my comrades, no matter what the Japs are going to do, we must not let a single Jap pass us by!" Although Captain Guo didn't know what the Japs' purpose was, he knew that it was right to block their advance!

"Old Guo, the guerrillas just called and said that everyone who needed to be moved has been moved! In addition, Captain Zhao asked if we need reinforcements?" Instructor Tang shouted loudly to Captain Guo.

"What is he here for? Ah? Can he stop the Japanese just by coming here? Isn't this nonsense? Tell Lao Zhao to stay in Liangjia Village honestly and guard against the Japanese from detouring back to their side!" said Captain Guo.

"Captain, the Japanese are attacking again!" At this time, a soldier turned over and entered the bunker of Captain Guo and his men and shouted.

"Tell the comrades to hold on! Fight closer, and if you have grenades, use them as much as you can!"

"Yes, company commander!"

Soon, an attacking Japanese squad approached the entrance of Weijia Village again. The people in front were on guard with guns raised, and there were heavy machine guns in the back providing suppressive fire.

Just when the Japanese thought they could break through the fortifications at the entrance of the village, grenades were thrown out from the village one after another, exploding around the Japanese, killing more than 20 of them in one fell swoop.

"Retreat, retreat! Grenade launchers, infantry guns, continue bombing!" Captain Shimizu stood on the mountain, looking at the situation in the village, and had no choice but to give up the attack again.

At this time, the buildings in Weijia Village had been reduced to only one tenth of what remained after more than a dozen bombings. Many soldiers were moving back and forth among the ruins, some were using the ruins to build new fortifications, and some were fighting using the fortifications originally built in the village.

Chirp, chirp... boom, boom, boom... Four Type 4 infantry guns and dozens of grenade launchers once again fired all kinds of grenades into the village, forcing the soldiers of the first company to hide again.

"Damn it... We can't go on like this, we have to dig tunnels! But tunnels are the last resort, and shouldn't be used unless absolutely necessary!" Captain Guo felt a pang of pain in his heart as he watched more and more soldiers being hit by artillery fire, but he could only continue to fight.

Ding-ling-ling… The telephone rang in the tunnel. The operator picked up the phone and heard the sound of the phone. After the call was hung up, he hurried out of the tunnel and found Captain Guo: "Report to the Captain, the detachment commander just called and said that the New 1st Regiment overturned a train of the Japanese on the Zhengtai Line in the north, and is now attracting the Japanese to the south, preparing to fight against the Japanese!"

"The New 1st Regiment? Haha... No wonder the Japs are so crazy! We can't let them pass... Wait, that's not right. The Japs' target is the New 1st Regiment? It's in the northeast direction. The Japs are planning to go all the way from the valley east of our village to Baijing Town, and then attack the New 1st Regiment from behind?" Captain Guo was not stupid either. He guessed the Japs' intention at once.

"You, report to the captain immediately and tell him my guess..."

In the valley under the Jiuguan Great Wall, the Japanese captain Qingyue was particularly annoyed at this time. He received an order early this morning to rush to Baijing Town, which was nothing. In fact, he was ready to be ambushed at any time, so he divided the team into marching teams with a distance of one kilometer between the front and the back, and let an armored vehicle lead the march with five trucks.

Why did he do this? Wasn't it because Changshengkou near Jiuguan was ambushed twice by the Eighth Route Army? So he was afraid!

But he never expected that he was not ambushed at Changshengkou or Jiuguan, but was ambushed in this relatively wide valley.

It didn't matter if there was an ambush, his armored vehicle could handle it, but damn, his armored vehicle was blown away by a mine laid by the Eighth Route Army! That's right, it was blown away!

"Hahaha... this bullet mine... no no no, this should be called a shell mine, haha... it's so exciting! Tell the comrades, we can't let any Japanese get away! We have so many grenades and such good terrain. If we can't hold out until noon, won't our independent regiment be doomed?" That's right, the speaker was Captain Kong, and their independent regiment was guarding this line at the moment.

The artillery mine that Captain Kong mentioned is based on the principle of a bullet mine. The artillery shell is loaded into a tube and then detonated when a tank presses on it.

"Captain, you know what, the grenades our superiors gave us are really useful! Especially these military products, which are lightweight and powerful, but a little short of them!" A cadre who looked 5% like Xing Weiguo next to Captain Kong said with some emotion.

"Haha... 1000 grenades are not enough? How many people are there in our independent regiment now? Never mind, go tell the commander of the first battalion that his grenade launcher can be used! Also, don't be afraid of wasting grenades, we will have a place to replenish them after the war!" Kong Jie naturally knew that his family had an arsenal, so he was much more relaxed in fighting.

"So, the Japanese are planning to surround me, Li Yunlong?" The Japanese's movements have been transmitted to the New 1st Regiment through radio waves. Li Yunlong, who received the telegram, smiled and said, "Encircle me, Li? The Japanese are thinking well! Unfortunately, they made a wrong calculation! Tell the comrades, hit me hard later, don't save the bullets, we don't lack bullets now!"

As Li Yunlong's words reached the ears of every soldier, everyone looked at the ammunition bags on their waists. Well, our regiment commander is right, we are indeed not short of bullets, we just replenished them last night!

"So, there are battles all around us, and we guerrillas are just standing here and watching?" The guerrillas in Liangjia Village who received a call from the independent detachment notifying them of the enemy situation looked at each other, not knowing what to do next? Should they take the initiative to attack and help one of the troops fight the devils? Or...
