Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 246 Chapter 245, Moon Night
It was late at night and the stars were sparse in the sky. Only a bright moon hung in the sky, illuminating Liangjia Village and the surrounding mountains.

Around Liangjia Village, the Japanese had already lit bonfires and even set up camping pots. The Japanese cooks were busy around the camping pots, and under the care of the bonfires, the Japanese looked like ghosts.

"The Japanese have so many troops!" On the village wall, Li Yuexuan and Zhao Danian squatted on the earthen wall, looking at the Japanese camp in the west, but in front of them were small red dots on the auxiliary panel.

"What's the matter? Any new ideas?" Zhao Danian leaned against the sandbags on top of the outer stone wall and took out his pipe to smoke.

"It's no use having any ideas. The Japanese have us figured out now. Let's just play it safe and steady!" Li Yuexuan also leaned on the sandbag and lay on his back on the top of the wall with only his legs dangling in the air.

"Xiao Li, don't be anxious. It's right to be steady and cautious!" Zhao Danian had already lit his pipe. After taking a deep breath, he continued, "The Japanese outside are very elite. The 4th Battalion suffered a great loss in front of them. If we didn't have this circle of walls below us and the bunkers you designed, the Japanese would probably be wreaking havoc in the village by now!"

"We all know that you are holding back a lot of anger, and when you see the devils, you want to kill as many as possible! However, stay calm, survive, and then you can better destroy the enemy! Logically speaking, with your current contribution, you should not be put on the front line to fight, and the reason is that you insist on it. So, don't worry, we have countless people and vast lands behind us, we can afford to fight, and we can also afford to drag it out!"

"I understand the logic, but I just can't stand seeing the Japs hanging around in front of me, because it always reminds me of some bad memories! Just now, when I saw the Japs doing that spirit-calling dance around the bonfire, I thought about sweeping them with a heavy machine gun and blowing them up with a grenade launcher loaded with high-explosive grenades! But, forget it, for strategic considerations, I'll endure it!" said Li Yuexuan.

"Ha, we have to be patient for now so that we can give the devils a hard time when we turn around! You also know the notification from the brigade. The 772nd Regiment is coming quickly, and the devils chasing the New st Regiment have also retreated. They will come for us! And Captain Li is also leading the main force of the New st Regiment to make a roundabout way towards us."

"Now you understand what the brigade commander means, right? We are the bait for fishing, and the Japanese are the fish we want to catch. Once the two main regiments complete the mobilization on the east and west sides, we can attack from the center. Well, tonight, the Japanese probably won't wait willingly, so get ready!" After Zhao Danian finished speaking, he turned over and climbed down the wall, leaving Li Yuexuan alone to look up at the stars.

Li Yuexuan did not go down the fence, because it was summer, and it was rare for a cool breeze to blow at night, and now was a good time to enjoy the cool air. From yesterday to today, he had been training for battle and preparing for the next battle, and he had no time to take a shower or anything, so he smelled bad. So, it would be nice to take this opportunity to cool down and get rid of the smell!

Looking up at the starry sky and letting his mind go, Li Yuexuan dozed off for about half an hour and felt much more energetic.

At this time, his thoughts began to fly, and he began to think about the next development direction. The first is agriculture. This year's corn breeding is very successful. Next year, while planting, we can also plant these high-yield crops on a large scale. Of course, without chemical fertilizers to provide the necessary fertilizers for corn, the harvest growth will not be too obvious.

Therefore, a season of spring corn depletes the soil fertility, and it is necessary to add fertilizer to the fields! Fortunately, in addition to the straw left as feed for cattle, horses, and donkeys, the straw burned in the fields can increase some of the soil fertility. And when the soybeans of the next season are planted, rhizobia can fix nitrogen, which is also a good way to increase the fertility of the land! In this way, we have potassium fertilizer from burning straw, nitrogen fertilizer, and phosphate fertilizer... Is there any phosphate rock around here? ? If there is phosphate rock, then the first thing to be made should be white phosphorus, right?

Well, seal the white phosphorus in the body of the grenade, place 30 grams of high explosive in the middle, and use a fuse to delay the fuze. This is what you get - a white phosphorus bomb! White phosphorus bombs are incendiary bombs. When there is no thickener, the power of combustion should not be underestimated! So, this is also a feasible solution.

Then there are the guns! The guerrillas are not large in size, so they don't need too many heavy machine guns. A defensive battle like today's is not suitable for the guerrillas' tactics. So, after the Japanese retreat, let the technicians continue to tinker with the semi-automatic guns! A guerrilla equipped with more than 100 semi-automatic guns, everyone has good marksmanship, and their combat effectiveness is very strong...

Li Yuexuan was staring at the starry sky in a daze, but Cai Xiaotian did not relax his vigilance, because his duty was to protect Li Yuexuan, so he squatted behind the three layers of sandbags reinforced by the outer stone wall, looking at the moonlight in the west from time to time, guarding against sudden attacks from the Japanese.

Li Yuexuan did not stop Cai Xiaotian's behavior, because he could not stop him. Of course, this did not prevent him from letting the auxiliary panel activate an active warning function when he was thinking divergently. For example, when there were more than 3 red dots representing the devils and they were 300 meters away from him, the auxiliary panel would automatically pop up in front of him to warn him of the source of danger.

With this function, he is a self-propelled radar in the shape of a human, and it is a fully intelligent one. How could he be attacked by the devils? Of course, this function was just developed by him. It seems that he has killed a certain number of devils before he has this ability. After all, he has been thinking about this auxiliary panel before.

Time passed slowly in such a quiet environment. Li Yuexuan even went down the wall and went into a nearby house to sleep, without waiting for the Japanese night attack.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that the Japanese won’t come. After all, anything is possible.

To the west, on the west side of the hill, was the headquarters tent of the Sakata Regiment. Sakata Nobutsu was still sleeping, and there were Japanese soldiers standing guard around him.

Meanwhile, at the 3rd Battalion Headquarters, which was a few hundred meters east of Tushan, Captain Ito was not asleep, because he was a little unconvinced. After all, in previous battles, their regiment was invincible! Back then, when he was still a squadron leader, he dared to lead his squadron to chase a regiment of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, chasing them for dozens of miles and destroying hundreds of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army.

It was in that battle that he was promoted to captain! So, he was very dissatisfied. Why did the loss in the battle this evening be so great?

After much thought, not only did they not have the heavy artillery of the artillery regiment and the aviation bombs to destroy the enemy's strong fortifications, but the regiment commander's style of play was too conservative!
For example, the order we received tonight was to hold our ground, defend it strictly, and prevent the Eighth Route Army from attacking us! But why didn't we seize the opportunity and take the initiative to attack?
