Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 239 Chapter 238, Come on
Just as the wounded finished speaking, the wounded on the far left suddenly raised the arm that had been hidden in the loose soil, and then a bundle of cluster grenades tied together with leggings appeared in front of the Japanese and puppet soldiers. The key point is that the grenade in the middle is still smoking...

"Baga... get out of the way..." How could Aso still be so graceful at this moment? He only felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows, and his hair stood on end. He felt as if he was flying on the spot.

Just as Aso jumped toward the western hillside with the fastest speed and strength in his life, a huge explosion sounded on Jigong Ridge.

Boom... The sound of cluster grenades exploding resounded throughout Jigongling. Along with the explosion, countless shrapnel flew in all directions, and the shock wave also blew in all directions. So it was visible to the naked eye that the several Japanese puppet soldiers surrounding the wounded were immediately blown to pieces, and there was even a blood mist in the air...

The explosion ended as quickly as it came. There were no more wounded soldiers on the spot. Only a crater with red spots remained. Around the crater, the Japanese and puppet soldiers fell to the ground in a radial pattern. None of the Japanese and puppet soldiers who had gathered here to watch the excitement escaped. They were all knocked down. The cluster grenade, which was made of 7 military grenades tied together, was so powerful!
Jigong Ridge was silent until all the soldiers of the Third Brigade climbed up the mountain. Looking at the mutilated bodies lying on the ground, Captain Ito of the Third Brigade took off his sweat-soaked white gloves and said silently, "Load the bodies of the soldiers and take them back to the county town! Now, search the entire position, search for weapons and ammunition, and search the surroundings..."

In Liangjia Village, Instructor Xin of the 4th Battalion and his men were still on the way, but a team quietly left the north gate of the village and went into the mountains along the path heading north.

"Okay, now we are completely relieved. The big animals, war horses, and donkeys have all been sent into the mountains! As long as we keep fighting here, the Japanese won't have the energy to track down the civilians and our hidden technicians. Comrade Xiao Fengyun, you should follow us into the mountains. We have no shortage of commanders here, but there is no one to lead us in the mountains!"

The person who spoke was Zhao Danian, and he was followed by several guerrilla cadres including Xiao Fengyun.

"Don't worry, even though Comrade Wang Zixian has lost one hand, his abilities are there. He can lead his comrades to protect the people! Besides, don't we still have the militia? The 1st Company's transport team has also entered the mountains. They have more than 50 combat forces. It's okay!" Xiao Fengyun said as he rubbed the box gun in his hand.

"I think you just want to fight! But that's okay, we are leading new recruits, and it's time to have a good fight with the Japanese!" Zhu Xingyu teased his old comrade.

"Okay, let's go back to the village! Tell the vanguard squad that the wounded soldiers from the Fourth Battalion have arrived, and immediately detonate the mines on the mountain road, and then we all go into the village! Little Japs, we have been waiting for you for a long time, don't let us down!" Zhao Danian no longer worried about these small problems, but pointed to the west with a look of anticipation on his face.

"It's a pity that we can't take away all the chickens, ducks and other animals in our village! And we can't take away the two pigs we have raised for half a year! Once the fighting starts and the shells explode..." Xing Weiguo said.

"Don't worry about these bottles and jars. If the house is gone, we can build a new one. If the chickens and ducks are gone, we can raise them again. If people are gone, everything will be gone! Okay, let's get moving and prepare for battle!" said Zhao Danian.

Soon, the guerrillas and the first company took their positions and guarded the fortifications around the village entrance, waiting for the arrival of the Japanese.

At the west entrance of the village, on the south side, inside the earthen wall, Lowe was carefully wiping the Type 24 machine gun. Next to him, an ammunition box was open, and a long canvas belt had been hung on the machine gun.

"What a pity, what a pity! I am only allowed to guard the entrance of the village, or to guard inside the village. It's not satisfying!" Lowe muttered as he packed up his heavy machine gun and looked at the fields outside the village through the village wall.

At this time, the spring corn in the fields had been harvested, and the newly planted beans had just sprouted leaves. Only the sweet potato field was still lush and green, with a very wide view. In the wheat field near the river, the summer corn planted after the wheat was harvested was only as high as chopsticks, and there was nothing to block it. In addition to these, there were also the pumpkin fields at the bottom of the northern hillside. The thick pumpkin vines climbed a large area on the hillside, and the thick leaves swayed in the wind.

"What a beautiful scenery!" Just over 40 meters south of Lowe's machine gun bunker, Li Yuexuan stood on the village wall, holding a telescope and admiring the beautiful scenery under the summer sunset.

"It would be even more beautiful if there were no Japanese devils!" Cai Xiaotian was standing next to him, holding a semi-automatic gun in his hand, and casually responded with this sentence.

"No, on the contrary, I think that if we let the flesh and blood of the Japanese soldiers irrigate and nourish our crops, the scenery will be even more beautiful! Look, the last members of the 4th Battalion are back, the sun is setting, the sunset glows like blood, cicadas are chirping all around, and tired birds are returning to their nests in the woods. With such a scene, we should let the Japanese soldiers offer us another bloody sacrifice!" said Li Yuexuan.

"What do you think? If we dig a hole on the village wall and reinforce it with wooden bars and earthen boxes, can we defend against the Japanese mountain artillery?" Cai Xiaotian asked.

"Our artillery position has no ceiling, so it's hard to defend against the Type 92 Infantry Cannon shells and grenade launcher grenades. If they fall directly on our heads or feet, no one can escape! However, if they fall around us, it won't be a big deal! As for direct fire from mountain artillery... Why did I insist on having a quicksand layer in the middle when reinforcing the wall?"

"The outer layer of the village wall is a 40-centimeter bluestone wall, with a 20-centimeter sand layer in the middle, and the original rammed earth wall behind it. This strength is enough to block the direct fire of the Japanese mountain artillery! And we will fight in the individual bunkers dug out of the rammed earth wall, and there is a sandbag wall behind us to block the shock waves and fragments of the shells falling behind us! So, don't worry..."

What Li Yuexuan didn't say was that he learned this trick from his predecessors! Well, it was the Songzhuang battle fought by the 42nd Regiment of the 7th Military Division of the Jizhong Military Region during the May 22st mopping-up operation in 22. In that battle, the nd Regiment used this method to build fortifications on the village wall, which was extremely effective in defending against the Japanese artillery fire.

Therefore, based on the principle of using what is useful, Li Yuexuan prepared in advance! In addition to the two tactics of tunnel warfare and mine warfare, plus he just got two mortars... So, at this time, he was looking forward to the arrival of the devils!

As the saying goes, it takes ten years to sharpen a sword, but the blade has never been tested. Today I will show it to you. Who would be dissatisfied? Now that the devils are here, he finally has a chance to use it. How can he not be excited?

Battle of Songzhuang: Regimental Commander Zuo Ye led two companies of the 22nd Regiment and one company of the 17th Regiment to ambush the Sakamoto Detachment of the Japanese Army, killing and wounding 400 Japanese and puppet troops and injuring the commander of the Sakamoto Detachment of the Japanese Army. His own side suffered 73 casualties.

Leader Zuo Ye thought he was the most like Li Yunlong. He had a bad temper, was good at fighting, and dared to fight tough battles as well as smart ones. The key point was that he made mistakes repeatedly and was repeatedly brought up.

What’s annoying is that when I searched using 360, all I got was a crappy actor, and there was very little information about the general.
