Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 257 Chapter 256, Counterattack, Pincer Attack

"You mean, you seized it all at once..." Well, the brigade commander finally lost his composure.

In the tunnel, Zhao Danian finally put down the phone, and then said to the comrades around him: "The brigade commander said that the New 1st Regiment is in Tianjiazhai, and he immediately ordered the New 1st Regiment to rush over as quickly as possible! Haha, now I hope that the Japanese brigade in the east will come to fight us now! As long as we hold on for half an hour, hey..." Zhao Danian made a gesture of attacking from both sides.

"Well, did the brigade commander say how to distribute the captured mountain artillery and infantry artillery?" asked Captain Guo.

"Ah, that's not mentioned! But..." Zhao Danian said mysteriously: "I guess the brigade commander is discussing this with your detachment commander right now! That's 10 guns! Haha..."

"Okay, next we have to do a good job of defense! Let's go up. It's been half an hour since the battle. No matter how stupid the Japs in the east are, they should have reacted by now, right?" said Captain Guo.

"Let's go up. After this battle, we won't have anything to worry about for the time being!" Zhao Danian didn't hesitate. He left Xiao Fengyun to answer the phone, and he led his men to the ground.

At this time, in the mountains northeast of the Wild Boar Forest, the Japanese soldiers from the First Battalion of the Sakata Regiment were rushing back to Liangjia Village.

Originally, their mission was to follow the trail left by the Eighth Route Army's "escape" and track down the main force of the Eighth Route Army. However, as they followed the trail, they ended up at the top of a cliff and lost all traces. Then, the Japanese heard dense gunfire coming from the direction of Liangjia Village.

The Japanese had radios, and they had several of them! However, no matter how they called, they received no response! In fact, there was no signal at the end!
Well, no one told the devils that this was the result of Xiao Fengyun, who was knowledgeable, turning off all the devils' radio stations after discovering them among the spoils! That's right, in addition to the 10 artillery pieces, more than 100 mules and horses, more than 1000 devils' weapons and equipment, and baggage and supplies seized this time, the most important thing was the regiment's 3 radio stations and codebooks.

Radios are easy to deal with, and the Eighth Route Army can buy them through some channels. But the Japanese codebooks, or the codebooks at the regiment level...the strategic value is too great! Why do you think the brigade commander was so anxious to let the New 1st Regiment come to Liangjia Village immediately? In addition to receiving mountain artillery and protecting the village, the more important thing is these codebooks!

The decoding books used by the regiment and the original telegrams translated by the devils were all seized intact! If these things were handed over to specialized personnel, would the devil's radio communications still be secret? Even if the devils adapted a new decoding book, would there be a pattern that could be matched...

Compared to this, the flag that Li Yuexuan hid, and the flagpole and flag tassel that were almost lost, don't seem to be that important? ? This is really important! At least this report will have a positive meaning for boosting everyone's confidence in the anti-Japanese war! Moreover, from now on, the number of the third regiment of the Sakata regiment can be withdrawn!

Not only that, all the soldiers who participated in today's battle, even those who were too old to walk, could straighten their backs and say to the children: "Back then, I captured the enemy's regiment flag!"

There was no time to take care of the old things, because just as Zhao Danian and his men returned to the ground from the tunnel and arranged the defenses on the north, west and south sides, they also arrived at the east side of the village. At this time, the first battalion of the Japanese finally rushed over from the wild boar forest.

To the west of the wild boar forest, at the shooting range, Captain Ono of the First Battalion, holding a telescope, looked at the Eighth Route Army soldiers who were still busy in the village. He felt angry and sad. That's right, he was sure that the possibility of his own regiment commander and his own Third Battalion surviving was almost zero! Didn't he see that at this moment, there were still Eighth Route Army soldiers dragging the bodies of their own soldiers out of the village! What was this? A provocation? Or did he make me afraid to bomb? And where was the artillery brought by the regiment commander?

Captain Ono hesitated for about 10 seconds, then pointed his command knife in the direction of Liangjia Village: "Artillery team, bomb the village wall! Everyone, immediately move towards the village and establish an offensive position 400 meters away from the village!"

Captain Ono's order was issued, and the Japanese artillery squad immediately operated two Type 92 infantry guns and began to bombard the village wall. The two and a half infantry squadrons, most of the heavy machine gun squadron, most of the transport squadron, and the half-crippled battalion headquarters of the battalion immediately headed towards Liangjia Village.

Well, the First Battalion was attacked by the New First Regiment and the Independent Regiment. They also chased the New First Regiment and were counterattacked several times. It’s great to have the current strength!
Despite this, the First Battalion still has nearly 700 troops, which is an advantage over the troops of Liangjia Village!
The battle started the moment the Japanese bombed! Thanks to the efforts of their predecessors, the Japanese infantrymen did not step on the mines and reached about 400 meters outside the east gate smoothly.

At this point, the Japanese artillery bombardment was still continuing, and the Japanese were not in a hurry to attack. Instead, they built new fortifications on the spot according to the terrain and launched the attack step by step.

Faced with such devils, neither Zhao Danian nor Captain Guo ordered a counterattack, allowing the wall to be bombarded by infantry gun shells.

Zhao Danian was not in a hurry, and neither was Captain Guo. They were all waiting for the arrival of the new regiment in the south. Finally, they saw traces of their own troops' activities on the southern hilltop.

"Comrade Youshun, what do you think? The Japanese only have two infantry guns, and you have two mortars. Fire at them?" Zhao Danian found Li Yuexuan who had been staying in the bunker and asked.

"No problem! Is it the New 1st Regiment coming from the south?" Li Yuexuan asked.

"Yes, they are coming! And Captain Li did not lead the team towards us, but went east! So, your artillery platoon can start working!" Zhao Danian said.

"Do you know what Captain Li is going to do?" Li Yuexuan felt it was magical. Zhao Danian knew what they were going to do without even contacting the New 1st Regiment?
"What else can we do? Captain Li is planning to attack the Japanese from behind! If we don't even have this little bit of tacit understanding, what's the point of fighting?" Zhao Danian said.

"Haha, okay, I'll show you what I can do!" Li Yuexuan carried the semi-automatic rifle and found the soldiers of the mortar squad: "Everyone, set up the guns!"

Just as Li Yuexuan was looking at the auxiliary panel and personally guiding the adjustment of parameters, our Captain Li, just as Zhao Danian said, went down from the South Mountain and turned to the southeast side of the Japanese.
