Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 242 Chapter 241, a little tangled

A blocking battle, with different feelings of sadness and joy! The guerrillas killed a squadron of Japanese and puppet troops at the cost of zero casualties, consuming thousands of rounds of ammunition.

The devils hardly consumed much ammunition, but they paid the price of many deaths! Therefore, the guerrillas were all excited, while the devils stood there with angry eyes.

"Bagayalu!" Sakata Nobutsu was confident that he had good self-control, but this time he was really angry and cursed: "Blow up these cunning Chinese, let the artillery team open fire immediately!"

"Baga, heavy machine gun squadron, move to the high ground in the north immediately and set up machine gun positions on the high ground to maintain suppression of the village!" Captain Ito also changed the position layout in a timely manner.

Originally, the heavy machine gun position was only set up on the spot next to the main force of the brigade. After all, they did not expect to suffer such heavy losses, and did not even think that there would be resistance in the village! This time it was different. They needed to raise the heavy machine gun position to suppress the village from a downward angle and provide fire cover for the attacking troops.

From the previous battle, Ito already felt how difficult the village ahead was. He planned to adjust his attitude and put up a good fight to capture the village!
Inside the village, the guerrillas, who had just gotten over their excitement, also saw the Japanese's formation changing. Zhao Danian even saw through the telescope that the Japanese were adjusting their mountain artillery.

"Captain, we have made a lot of money so far. Should we withdraw to the tunnel?" After all, Xiao Fengyun had not led troops to fight for a long time, so he asked nervously at this time.

"Well, Lao Xiao, you take the guards platoon and go into various nodes and fortresses first, and be ready to fight at any time! Lao Zhu, you go too! Lao Guo, the Japanese will bombard soon, you take your main force to watch the East Gate and the North Gate!" Zhao Danian had already thought of the next countermeasures, and shouted loudly.

"Okay, first platoon, follow me and retreat into the village!" Captain Guo had just brought some people to check out the situation, and now they followed suit and quickly withdrew from this side.

"Okay, I'll follow the comrades from the guard platoon!" Xiao Fengyun knew where his shortcomings were, so he followed their lead and walked back to the village along the alley.

"I'll help cover the entrance to the tunnel!" Zhu Xingyu knew that it was better not for the main cadres of the guerrillas to gather together, so he said a word and withdrew.

At this time, on the wall from south to north at the west entrance of the village, there were only the first row, the second row, two squads of the machine gun platoon and the mortar platoon left! As for the transport squad directly under the team headquarters, they had already led the livestock into the mountains. After hiding the supplies in the tunnel, the cooking squad went to the position in the south of the village, cooperating with the vanguard squad and a machine gun squad of the heavy machine gun platoon as the garrison force.

Oh, and there is also the medical team led by Chen Laodao. They are hiding in a street fortress not far from the west entrance of the village, ready to come and rescue people at any time.

In other words, the elite forces of the guerrillas were concentrated in the wall fortifications on the west side of the village, facing the attack of the Japanese. The sky was getting dark, and the tired birds should return to their nests, but the battle this evening made them dare not return to their nests, so they could only fly around alone in the wild. Some of them simply found a tall tree in the mountains to the north and survived for the night.

Chirp, chirp, chirp...Boom, boom...Just at this moment, a burst of artillery fire was heard from Liangjia Village, causing these tired birds to fly up again and flee to a farther place.

Inside the village, Taoist Chen put his eyes close to the observation hole of the barricade, looking at the village wall to the west, with a worried look. This time the bombardment really shocked the old Taoist priest, and even his calm heart was slightly shaken. Looking at the flames rising into the sky and listening to the snapping sound of fragments falling on the barricade, Taoist Chen decided to believe in the power of science.

Taoist Priest Chen was shocked just by watching! And what about the guerrillas who were being bombarded? ?
In the northwest corner of the village, Luo Wei and his heavy machine gun fortifications were under heavy bombardment! The Japanese artillery was not idle either. In the previous battle, they found that the muzzle flames of the machine guns here were the most obvious, so they made this place one of the focuses of the bombing.

Boom boom boom... Boom boom boom... Artillery shells hit the outer stone wall one after another, causing the stone wall, which was built with cement as the base, lime as the adhesive, and bluestone as the main material, to vibrate constantly.

As the shells exploded, craters appeared on the stone one by one, but the depth was only a few centimeters, and did not cause damage to the overall structure of the stone wall. The vibration waves of these explosions were absorbed by the stone wall and transmitted eastward, but were absorbed and differentiated by the sand layer between the stone wall and the earth wall.

So, at this time, Lowe and the others only felt their ears buzzing, and their surroundings shook from time to time with the sound of explosions, but they were fine!
"Sergeant...can we hold on?" During a break in the bombing, a soldier released his hands from covering his ears and asked loudly.

"What did you say?" Lowe couldn't hear what his soldiers were saying, but he could guess roughly what was going on. He pointed at the wooden bar above his head and said, "It's made of three layers of round logs and three layers of cement. As long as several shells don't explode at the same point in succession, it'll be fine!"

Boom... While Lowe was speaking, he was really hit on the head by a Type 92 infantry gun shell, but apart from the falling dust, there was really no big problem.

"I learned this method from my predecessors and the engineers later. Is it still not enough to deal with the Japanese light artillery?" At this time, Li Yuexuan, who was not the focus of attention, was very satisfied with his defensive measures amid the rumbling of artillery. Of course, he also thought of the heavy artillery regiment of his old unit, and he had visited the live-fire shooting of the heavy artillery regiment at that time.

Well, a shell penetrated the steel-concrete fortification that was more than one meter thick, and the inside was blown to pieces. In the words of the artillerymen: Our heavy artillery is very humane. When a shell explodes, the person does not feel any pain, and is already blown to pieces!

Therefore, knowing that the Japanese were using mountain artillery instead of 150mm heavy artillery, Li Yuexuan stayed in his bunker with peace of mind, waiting for the shelling to end.

At this time, he was also thinking about another question: After the bombardment was over, should he directly destroy the enemy's artillery position? Or should he repel the enemy's attacks a few more times before bombing?
Well, it's very tangled! After all, the first option can end the battle quickly, and even kill Sakata directly, making the battle that made Pillar famous disappear. The second option is to kill as many Japanese soldiers as possible! So, is one Sakata more valuable? Or are hundreds of Japanese soldiers more valuable?
