Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 213 Chapter 212, a team is gone just like that?
Captain Guo is ruthless and doesn't care about the safety of his brother units? Wrong! Our old Guo has been fighting since the late night, so it's time to take a break, right? There's nothing wrong with that. What's the key? Because at this time, both the first company and the guerrillas dug trenches on the east side of the front line of Jigongling, so if they didn't expose themselves actively, the Japanese would not be able to find out how many people there were in Jigongling.

So, the best thing to do is to let the guerrillas fight with the Japanese for a few rounds first, and then give them a surprise at the end. Well, you can also say that they take turns to rest...

The Japanese didn't know that they were attacking, and the Eighth Route Army was "lazy" on the side. In fact, the Japanese commanders and artillery observers were all holding binoculars, carefully looking at the front line on the top of the mountain, trying to find valuable targets such as the heavy machine gun positions of the Eighth Route Army. Then, the artillery bombarded, and the infantry continued to attack...

In short, the Japanese have only these few tactics, and there is nothing strange about them. After all, the Japanese have good heavy equipment and good training, and they believe in the strategy of "one force defeats ten skills".

On the west side of Jigongling, Sakuragi Hideo held a command knife in his hand, directing his soldiers in the middle, arranging a skirmish line, and slowly approaching the guerrilla position. Just now, all the gunshots came from this side, and they naturally regarded the guerrillas as the direction of attack.

Crunch... The hard soles of the Zhaowu military boots stepped on the newly sprouted corn seedlings, the vines growing on the edge of the field, and the densely packed sweet potato fields, gradually approaching the boundary of about 300 meters, which was the position where the puppet soldiers were lying on the ground pretending to be dead dogs.

After passing this place, Sakuragi Hideo waved his command knife, and immediately three Type 3 light machine gun crews stopped advancing, set up their machine guns in suitable positions, and aimed at the front line of Jigongling.

The sound of gunfire rang out, and three crooked handle rifles began to fire short bursts, suppressing the front line at the top of the mountain. Then, Sakuragi Hideo also stopped, and two grenade launchers not far away also stopped, raising their hands to measure the distance, then reloaded and adjusted the scale.

The remaining Japanese soldiers, however, still maintained the rhythm of attacking with guns, lowered their bodies, and moved much faster, occasionally making some evasive moves. It was obvious that the Japanese soldiers in this team had been strictly trained, and their tactical movements were very standard.

Not only that, the heavy machine gun squadron of the devils also built a position not far from their captain. At this time, 8 Type heavy machine guns also made a rattling sound, suppressing the guerrillas with fire.

"Look, this is called professionalism! Infantry and machine guns jointly attacking in combat, you guys have to learn this!" In the northern part of Jigongling, behind a large abrupt rock, Li Yuexuan held a semi-automatic gun with the muzzle pointed diagonally to the southwest, while talking to Cai Xiaotian and others beside him.

"Every one of them is like a turtle. They look angry. Won't we just shoot them one by one later?" Cai Xiaotian was also holding a semi-automatic gun, lying more than 3 meters away from Li Yuexuan, with some disdain in his words.

"Don't look down on the Japs, they are really well trained! It's just that they met us! Girl, do you see the one with a flag on the bayonet at the northernmost end? You got it! Daquan, you also have a chance to shoot, follow the one behind that Jap, you got it!" Li Yuexuan had only three soldiers around him at this time, so he naturally divided the targets.

"Understood, Platoon Leader!" Xu Hongying and Jiang Daquan answered in unison.

Because they all adopted the configuration of side fire, the suppressive fire of the Japanese did not cause much trouble to the guerrillas in the trenches. The comrades also assigned their targets and waited for the battle to begin. Of course, because there were too many guerrillas and too few Japanese, it often took two or three people to fight one Japanese. Only the veterans had the privilege of fighting one Japanese.

"Boy, now you understand why we don't dig a firing hole in front of you, right?" Somewhere in the trench, an old soldier was educating his new recruits: "Look, if you hide over here, your whole body will be blocked by the cover, and the bullets coming from the front will not hit you! And if you shoot at the enemy from the side, the enemy will not notice you immediately, and you will have enough time to aim..."

As the veteran was talking, a bullet from a Type 99 rifle flew over and hit the dirt pile in front of him, splashing a handful of dust. The new soldier was so scared that he quickly shrank his head. "What are you afraid of? Even if you get a big scar on your head, you can be a brave man again in 18 years! Think about your parents behind you and hold your gun steady!"

"Yo, the soldiers led by Sakuragi are pretty good. They are very skilled in their movements and have a good rhythm of attack. It's time to let the Eighth Route Army see our strength! This is the wilderness, not a village, so the Eighth Route Army can only fight a positional battle with us! In positional battles, we have never been afraid of anyone!"

Amid the voices of veterans educating new recruits and the anticipation of the Japanese officers, a Japanese soldier finally crossed the line of the walnut tree. At this moment, the guerrillas who had been waiting for a long time pulled the trigger one after another. The sound of gunfire continued, and the Czech light machine guns were spewing gunfire, and bullets whizzed towards the rapidly moving Japanese soldiers.

"Yo, watch your positions and be careful of the enemy's machine gun fire!" Behind, Captain Takahashi held up a telescope to determine the Czech's position.

At this moment, the Japanese soldiers of Sakuragi's team who were attacking suddenly felt that their comrades around them were falling one by one.

Pah pah pah... Li Yuexuan's semi-automatic rifle had been restocked with bullets, so the 20-round magazine was still full at the beginning. However, at this time, because he kept pulling the trigger, more than a dozen shells had fallen around him.

With these dozen shots, he killed two of the Japanese machine gun crews who were still 300 meters away, and also shot down two grenade launchers. There was no other way, the area within 300 meters was under Li Yuexuan's absolute control of the gun. With the blessing of the semi-automatic high rate of fire, he quickly consumed the lives of the Japanese soldiers with the efficiency of one shot per Japanese soldier.

Cai Xiaotian, who followed Li Yuexuan, also aimed at a Japanese machine gun group and used 8 shots to eliminate all 4 Japanese soldiers.

Originally, he wanted to shoot down another grenade launcher group, but Tianchuan's side fired continuously and shot down the two Japanese soldiers.

As for Comrade Xu Hongying, she only fired two shots with her Type 81 rifle. Of course, the Japanese soldier assigned to her was already dead by then.

Jiang Daquan? His marksmanship was actually pretty good. He shot down a Japanese soldier, and it was a first-shot success.

After this short gunfire, more than half of the Japanese soldiers were killed. The remaining Japanese soldiers were not stupid. They had lost so many comrades in a short time, so they naturally knew how to hide. They all lay down in the grass nearby, trying to use the dense thatch to cover their bodies. In theory, it would be difficult to find people lying down in the thatch more than half a meter high, but what about the actual situation?
Because Jigongling has a height advantage, the soldiers can still see the position of the Japanese. Looking down at the Japanese lying in the grass, the soldiers feel that it is easier to fight! After all, they were moving quickly just now and it was difficult to aim. Now, the Japanese are either lying still or crawling slowly in the grass, which makes it much easier to fight!

Then, the sound of gunfire continued, and the remaining Japanese soldiers were shot into sieves one by one by the soldiers under concentrated fire.
