Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 226 Chapter 225, Intercepting
Faced with a powerful enemy, Li Yuexuan had neither the time nor the energy to pay too much attention to the newly produced corn seeds.

After hurriedly drying the corn cobs on the training ground and arranging the soldiers to stand guard, Li Yuexuan, Zhao Danian, Xing Weiguo and others held another small meeting.

"Although we don't know whether the Sakata regiment will come, since the 4th Battalion is the main force at Jigongling, we can't just sit there and wait! I observed when the 4th Battalion was transferred just now, and found that the 4th Battalion's equipment was not complete, and some soldiers were still fighting with red tassel spears. So, is it necessary to give the 4th Battalion some weapons and ammunition?" Zhao Danian asked.

"Captain, you have the final say! I think that weapons are good enough as long as they are sufficient! Moreover, after today's actual combat, I feel that I don't like the Japanese Type 38 rifle! So, it doesn't matter if you give them all away!" Li Yuexuan was the first to express that he had no objection. Anyway, who needs a Type 38 rifle when you have a semi-automatic rifle, right?

"Ahem..." Xing Weiguo coughed to attract everyone's attention, then said, "I also agree to give part of the weapons and ammunition we just received to the 4th Battalion! After all, the New 8st Regiment just sent us 800 tons of explosives and bags of rice, we have to show our appreciation and give something in return! Finally, I also think that semi-automatic is better than the Type rifle!"

"Although I have not seen the specific combat process of the Type 200 rifle, I also feel that the Type 1 rifle is not as good as the semi-automatic rifle! Of course, I agree with supporting the weapons of brother units! So, how about giving them 5 Type rifles and rounds of bullets? We have just received rounds of bullets, which is enough for us!" said Zhu Xingyu.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm the one who manages the soldiers' workshop and keeps in touch with Minister Zhang!" Xiao Fengyun saw that everyone was looking at him, and quickly said, "I also agree to equip the 4th Battalion! Well, I will write this into a report and report it to the headquarters, and it will be regarded as the weapons allocated by the headquarters to the new regiment!"

"Ahem, since everyone agrees to give a batch of equipment to the 4th Battalion of the New st Regiment, let's discuss the next issue! We just got a Type heavy machine gun, so we need to add a new heavy machine gun squad! What do you think, how should we arrange it?" Zhao Danian asked
"Stay in the heavy machine gun platoon! Let the apprentice brought by Lowe be the machine gunner, and find an old soldier to be the squad leader. Or, let Lu Xiaoran lead this squad directly! However, we need to transfer some troops from the supplementary squad to serve as ammunition soldiers!" Xing Weiguo said.

"I have no objection to this! Just transfer personnel from the supplementary squad! However, brothers Xiong Wen and Xiong Wu, please stay with me. They will be of great use to me! Moreover, I propose to disband my supplementary platoon and set up a new mortar platoon! We have seized two 82 mortars and 27 boxes, with a total of 108 shells. We need to use them!" said Li Yuexuan.

"There is no problem in setting up a mortar platoon! Even in our entire guerrillas, who knows how to use mortars? This is not the same as..." Zhao Danian said, and suddenly turned his head to look at Li Yuexuan, his eyes became particularly bright. At this moment, he remembered the night when he first met Li Yuexuan, in the Dragon King Temple, Li Yuexuan gave him one surprise after another.

"That... I know how to use this 82mm mortar! And it should be more accurate!" Li Yuexuan looked at the expectation in Zhao Danian's eyes and said in an affirmative tone: "Captain, have you forgotten that our new grenade launcher was designed according to the firing characteristics of the mortar? I can design this grenade launcher, so I naturally know how to use the mortar!"

"Haha... Comrade Peregrine, is there anything you don't know how to do or are not good at? Ha, since you said you can use mortars, then let's set up a mortar platoon! Oh, you kept Xiong Da and Xiong Er, just planning to let these two brothers help you fight the mortars, right? No problem! Haha... By the way, you can train mortar soldiers, right? Ha..." Zhao Danian was a little too excited and even spoke incoherently.

"You told me earlier that you can use mortars! I agree to form a mortar platoon! Oh, and since a new heavy machine gun squad has been added to the heavy machine gun platoon, let's put squad 7 into the mortar platoon as the close combat defense force of our artillery! Hey, with mortars, we won't be afraid of the devil's brigades anymore! Especially in the mountainous areas, as long as the devil's brigades come, we can blow up their artillery and see what tricks they have!"

Xing Weiguo had no doubts about Li Yuexuan's artillery skills! What if he couldn't hit it accurately? As long as the mortar shells were fired and landed on the edge of the Japanese artillery positions, the Japanese artillery would not dare to bomb casually! Moreover, Comrade Youshun had accurate shooting skills and his grenade launcher could hit accurately at long distances, so why couldn't he hit a mortar accurately?
Well, based on the principle of seeing is believing and hearing is false, everyone was skeptical about whether Li Yuexuan could fire the mortar accurately. However, this did not prevent the immediate establishment of this mortar platoon!
So, in the blink of an eye, the 7th squad of the heavy machine gun platoon became the 7th squad of the newly formed mortar platoon. The number did not change, but the affiliation of the upper level was changed. And naturally, after filling the gaps in the heavy machine gun squad and the losses of the first and second platoons, the soldiers of the supplementary squad all became soldiers of the newly formed mortar platoon. Because the guerrillas were fighting a defensive war at this time, the soldiers of the transport squad naturally let go of the matter of raising livestock and became a temporary squad of the supplementary platoon. The four shotguns that the supplementary squad could not use, together with the two gunners, were assigned to the transportation squad, responsible for helping in the battles in the village.

"Okay, comrades, today is the day when our mortar platoon is established! We don't have much time to give you a speech, let's get straight to the point! Jiang Daquan..." Li Yuexuan looked at Jiang Daquan, who had followed him for a long time, with an eager expression in his eyes.

"Here!" Jiang Daquan stood up with the Dinglong grenade launcher in his arms.

"From now on, this grenade launcher belongs to you! Choose an assistant shooter from among the soldiers, lead him personally, and form a grenade launcher combat team!" said Li Yuexuan.

"Yes, platoon leader!" Jiang Daquan's eyes showed reluctance.

"What's there to be reluctant about? You can still follow me with your deputy shooter! Hurry up and find a deputy shooter to quickly form a combat tacit understanding!" Li Yuexuan said with some amusement.

"Ah? Yes!" Jiang Daquan looked around among the soldiers when he heard this, and then found his brother from the same clan: "Jiang Dazhong, we two brothers grew up naked, how about we continue?"

"Okay, from now on we two brothers will continue to fight side by side!" Jiang Dazhong was a soldier from Class 7, and he stood up naturally.

"Okay, Tianchuan, you take the remaining people from Class 7 and serve as the security squad of the artillery platoon, responsible for protecting the artillery! Next, I will lead the artillery group to conduct emergency combat training! Next..."

Li Yuexuan once again served as an instructor, but this time he only needed to familiarize the soldiers with the disassembly and assembly of the mortar, the debugging level, and the adjustment of parameters. He had to personally take part in the specific battle.

While Liangjia Village was actively preparing for the battle, they didn't know that the Sakata Brigade was "intercepted" on the way.
