Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 210 Chapter 209, dig, dig, dig

Faced with such danger, the soldiers remained calm and fearless!

There is great terror between life and death, but some things are more terrifying than death! And many of the soldiers present were born in poverty, and the suffering they experienced since childhood has long transcended the terror between life and death! Suffering will bring people pain and hatred. When pain and hatred accumulate to a certain extent, who cares about life and death?
Therefore, at this time, the veterans comforted their comrades around them, asking them to be patient and wait before killing the enemy.

"Xiao Yu? Lao Lu? Do you dare to challenge me in a big way?" Looking at the heavy machine gun position that kept creating craters on the rocks around him, Zhang Chong shouted to his two good brothers.

"Boy, are you thinking of getting closer and blowing up the heavy machine gun position?" Yu Xiaoyu knew what Zhang Chong meant without even having to think.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm just asking you if you dare?" Zhang Chong asked directly.

"Count me in! But you have to tell the company commander!" Not far away, Lu Da also spoke.

"Okay, go ahead! Once we take care of the heavy machine gun position that poses the greatest threat to us, the rest will be easy!" After listening to the reports of the three people, Company Captain Huang immediately agreed to their request.

Soon, the three brothers each took two soldiers and returned to the back of Liulin Mountain from the position of the third company. After hearing that the three men were going to blow up the enemy's heavy machine gun position, Kong Jie did not hesitate and immediately sent a platoon of soldiers to follow them eastward. In fact, there was also a battle on the ridge at this time. It was a small team of the enemy who also went up the mountain and tried to bypass and fight behind Liulin Mountain.

At this time, the battlefield was already filled with gunfire. Not only were Type 92 heavy machine guns firing to suppress the enemy, but a squadron of Japanese soldiers who had already reached the wreckage of the convoy also hid in their bunkers and joined forces with the Japanese soldiers who had been stranded here before, firing at the positions of the independent regiment on both sides of the valley.

On the south side of the valley, Li Wenying, the political commissar of the independent regiment, looked at the Japanese soldiers who were gathering together again at the foot of the mountain, and he only regretted that he had no artillery firepower! Otherwise, after a few shells, how could the Japanese soldiers be so arrogant?
Fortunately, because Kong Jie had contacted the 1st Battalion of the New 1st Regiment in time, he left most of the troops of the Independent Regiment on the hill south of the valley, leaving Li Wenying with enough troops.

"Kawaguchi squad, gather around me immediately!" At the foot of the mountain, behind a shelter made up of car wreckage, a Japanese squad leader raised his command knife and asked his troops to gather around.

"Now, I order, Aso, to take your squad from the left wing to attack the high ground in the north; Nobi, you attack from the right wing..." Under Kawaguchi's command, a squad of Japanese soldiers was divided into several attack groups and launched an attack on the main position of Liulin Mountain.

Until this moment, none of the soldiers on Liulin Mountain fired, and they were all waiting for orders. In fact, in the previous counterattacks, the independent regiment only opened fire when the Japanese were less than 50 meters away. At that distance, with a large number of grenades in hand and a height advantage, the independent regiment made the Japanese suffer a lot.

Now, the Japanese thought that the previous scene would happen again, so they adopted a more dispersed formation to launch the attack, and even prepared the grenade launchers at the foot of the mountain to carry out targeted strikes.

At this moment, a series of booming sounds suddenly came from a hilltop east of Liulin Mountain. Then, grenade after grenade flew out from the hilltop and fell on the enemy's heavy machine gun position that was still firing upwards to suppress the enemy.

"Keep going, keep going, fire five rounds in a row and then retreat! We saw with our own eyes how the instructor blew up the Japanese heavy machine gun squadron!" Zhang Chong shouted as he took the grenade.

"That's right. If our instructor can do it, then our three combat teams should be able to do it, right? They say three heads are better than one. Our three teams can definitely do it!"

"You talk too much nonsense. One more..."

They were still bombarding each other while talking, but they didn't know that their bombardment immediately attracted enough attention.

On the hilltop, Kong Jie watched the three grenade launchers continuously firing grenades, and watched the grenades explode in front of the Japanese heavy machine guns, and he was so happy in his heart. The most direct feeling was that the Japanese suppression firepower was weakened a lot, at least there were no bullets from the Type 92 heavy machine gun flying over.

As for the Japanese, who was the one who got bombed? So when the grenades exploded at their own heavy machine gun positions in a very short time, the Japanese, whether they were attacking or preparing to attack, slowed down their actions and tilted their heads to look at their own heavy machine gun positions.

Then, they saw their own heavy machine guns being blown away one by one, and the machine gun crews were also blown away and fled in all directions.

"Baga, turn the guns around immediately and destroy those grenade launchers! Quickly..." Captain Qingyue frowned and quickly issued the latest orders.

In fact, the Type 92 infantry guns of the Japanese were looking for the location of the grenade launchers as soon as they saw the heavy machine gun positions being blown away. When they saw where the grenade launchers were flying from, they had already turned the muzzle and adjusted the parameters. "Okay, basically solved, retreat quickly! The Japanese are setting up the artillery!" Yu Xiaoyu picked up the telescope and took a look, and quickly told everyone to retreat.

"Then retreat, retreat quickly!" Zhang Chong and his men didn't waste any time. They picked up the grenade launcher and ran back to the main position in Liulin Mountain.

Just as they were running back to their positions, several shells exploded on the hilltop where the grenade launchers were stationed, which made everyone feel relieved. Fortunately, no one was hurt!

They were fine, but the enemy's heavy machine gun position was destroyed by their bombing! Of course, some soldiers in the heavy machine gun squadron might survive, but all the heavy machine guns were destroyed. Without the suppression of the heavy machine guns, the soldiers on the mountain did not have much pressure.

Just at this time, the Japanese also reached the predetermined distance, so the soldiers on the mountain opened fire to fight back, and many grenades were thrown down from the mountain to greet them.

At this time, the grenade launchers of the New 1st Regiment used grenades to blow up the Japanese hiding behind the vehicles, and they also took away several Japanese machine gun groups. Of course, they had to change positions after firing a shot, because the Japanese grenade launchers also targeted them and bombed their positions one after another. In short, the battlefield became a mess...

While they were in a mess, Captain Guo and his men had been watching the excitement for about an hour on Jigong Ridge east of Weijia Village.

Excuse me, what is the best way to block the enemy's attack? Well, there is no correct answer. However, the enemy is still digging in the ruins of Weijia Village, and we can't disturb their work. So, we stayed on Jigongling, ate breakfast that we didn't have time to eat because of the sudden attack, and then watched the show here!

Anyway, we are not in a hurry now, the Japanese are the ones who are in a hurry!
The Japanese soldiers were digging in the ruins with their shovels and pickaxes, trying to find where the Eighth Route Army was hiding. But when they didn't know the entrance to the tunnel, or even knew there was a tunnel, the chance of finding the entrance to the tunnel was too low when digging in the messy ruins! Sometimes, the entrance to the tunnel might be found with the next pickaxe, but the Japanese soldiers gave up on it.

"Old Guo, what's going on over there?" Just when Captain Guo and his men were watching the show with peace of mind, Zhao Danian led the main force of the guerrillas to Jigongling.

"Old Zhao, why are you here? What should we do with the village? Isn't this nonsense?" When Captain Guo saw that Zhao Danian had brought the main force of the guerrillas, he immediately became anxious.

"Don't worry, the Fourth Battalion and the Supplementary Battalion are here, so we came to help you!" said Zhao Danian.

"The Fourth Battalion? The Replacement Battalion? Which Four... Is it the New First Regiment's troops coming?" Captain Guo immediately figured out what was going on.

"Yes, they did come, and brought more than 800 bags of rice and 8 tons of TNT explosives! Haha, now we are rich. At least these 8 tons of explosives can make...well, in short, a lot of grenades and artillery shells!" Zhao Danian said excitedly.

"Wait, wait, wait... Let me sort this out... You mean, the 800th Battalion and the Replacement Battalion of the New 8st Regiment brought more than 1100 bags of rice and 3 tons of explosives? In other words, the New st Regiment brought more than people, right? Then the main force of the New st Regiment would be only three battalions and the regiment's direct teams left?" asked Captain Guo.

"Yes, that's the algorithm. But don't worry. When Captain Niu and his men came here, they encountered the independent regiment setting up positions at Liulin Mountain. So this time we have two main regiments together! Haha, the Fourth Battalion is now setting up positions at the village. Your wounded are also receiving treatment in the tunnel. Even the supplementary battalion has gone to Tianjiazhai in the south!"

"So, old friend, how about we gather our forces together and give the Japs a head-on blow?" Zhao Danian waved his hand as he spoke, and the first and second machine gun platoons plus the supplementary platoon (most of the troops) dispersed on Jigong Ridge, each looking for a suitable position and starting to dig fortifications.

"You, you've already started doing it yourself, what else can I say? Comrades, let's dig trenches, build fortifications, and have a good fight with the Japs here! Hahahaha... I was ambushed by the Japs last night, and I'm holding a grudge against them. This time I'm going to give it all back to the Japs!" Captain Guo's voice was getting louder and louder, and more and more excited.

Of course, his voice would not reach Weijia Village, after all, the distance was there.

"Distance: 629 meters. Target: Japanese Type 4 infantry artillery position. Number: 728 guns. Target found: 82 Type mm mortars belonging to the puppet army. Distance: meters. Distance: ..."

While everyone was digging, Li Yuexuan climbed to a hilltop on the north side of Jigongling and observed the enemy situation outside Weijia Village. Not to mention, he found many valuable targets.

"82 mortar, this is a good stuff, we must find a way to get it!" When Li Yuexuan discovered the mortar, he immediately became excited.
