Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 296 Chapter 295, hold a small meeting and establish a stronghold.

"Attack the stronghold?" Xing Weiguo's words were like a bolt of thunder in a clear sky, shocking the commanders of the First Special Company and the Supplementary Brigade.

However, very soon, the fog that had just been lingering before their eyes was split apart by the thunder, allowing them to see a wider and clearer scene.

"I agree to attack the Laiyuan stronghold!" The first person to speak was Captain Gao of the Supplementary Brigade. After he finished speaking, he did not forget to glance at the political commissar of the Supplementary Brigade, and then saw the political commissar nodding.

"I also agree to attack Laiyuan Town!" Captain Ge spoke right after Captain Gao, and the two men's voices connected flawlessly.

"Since both of you have come together to attack the Yuanzhen stronghold, our guerrilla team has no objection! However, do the commanders present want to vote by raising their hands?" Xing Weiguo asked.

"Then let's vote by raising our hands! I agree to attack Laiyuan Town!" Political Commissar Wang of the Supplementary Brigade, who had been silent until now, was the first to raise his hand.

"I agree..." Following the unanimous voices, the cadres present raised their right hands with excitement on their faces.

"Okay, we have reached a consensus, so let's discuss how to attack this stronghold!" Political Commissar Wang spoke first: "I am a political cadre, so you have to discuss a charter for the specific operations and form a unified tactical coordination and command system. However, I also have a small request, which is that my supplementary brigade must have enough combat missions this time!"

"Old Wang is right! We have fought two battles today, and the results are very good. We have seized a lot of supplies, and the casualties are almost negligible! But what about the process?" Captain Gao said this, and looked at Li Yuexuan with some ambiguous emotions in his eyes: "Here, I want to make a suggestion to Comrade Youshun!"

"Comrade Youshun, although the results of this battle are very good, the process was a little too fast. It was so fast that neither we nor the Japanese could make an effective response, and the ambush was basically over. We had a few hundred people in the reinforcement brigade, and we went up to kill some remaining enemies and clean up the battlefield. We didn't even have a chance to practice!"

"I admit that Comrade Peregrine's bombing was very effective and it helped us a lot, but what I want to say is... forget it, I won't make it up. This time we must let our supplementary brigade carry out the main attack mission, and then you guerrillas will provide us with artillery support. How about that? Comrade Peregrine, you can't eat alone. You can't let all the devils be attacked by the artillery you brought with you!"

"Ahem, for this main attack mission, I think our Special 1st Company is the most suitable!" Captain Ge said, "After all, we are the garrison troops of the division headquarters, right? We have good equipment, good training, and many veterans. These are our advantages! Therefore, we need to give full play to these advantages in the next battle! Besides, your You 1st Company has fought two battles, it's our turn now!"

"That won't do! Our First Company is much better equipped than yours, and these two battles were just appetizers. Attacking the stronghold is the real deal! We have already put the real deal on the table, and you can raise your chopsticks. You can't snatch it away, can you?" Zheng Changfeng spoke.

"We..." After about 3 minutes of expressing our opinions and friendly negotiations, everyone finally came up with an attack plan.

As the only team with mortars among the three teams present, the mission of the Youyi Company was to stay on the North Mountain to protect the artillery and suppress the enemies in Laiyuan Town from a high position. However, in order to ensure the firepower suppression advantage over the ghost stronghold, everyone agreed to let Li Yuexuan bring the grenade launcher battle group and 30 precision shooters from the Youyi Company down the mountain to help the attacking team suppress the stronghold. As the only team with heavy machine guns among the three teams present, the Special Company became the first team to attack the Laiyuan stronghold. In order to enhance their firepower, the two Type 2 heavy machine guns just seized from the western valley and the two Type heavy machine guns that fell in a pool of blood of the puppet army on the river beach at the foot of the mountain in front were temporarily assigned to the Special Company.

As the largest supplementary brigade, they will select two companies to follow the Special Company 1 as an auxiliary team to assist the Special Company 1 in attacking Laiyuan Town. The remaining personnel will still clean up the battlefield. They will use the fastest speed to plunder the puppet troops and devils on the river beach at the foot of the mountain, and send the seized weapons, ammunition and various supplies back to the mountain.

A simple battle plan was drawn up. Next, it was time to prepare for the battle.

What preparations are needed? The attacking team needs to replenish their ammunition, and the soldiers also need to drink some water, urinate, clean up their bodies, and put down unnecessary supplies so that they can go into battle lightly.

The team responsible for assisting the attack needs to discuss the rhythm of the attack with the attacking team, and also need to replenish their ammunition and other things. All of this is required.

Li Yuexuan also needs to prepare! In the previous battle, the soldiers who fired the guns need to unload the magazines and reload them with bullets. The grenade launchers also need to refill the ammunition bags with ammunition so that there is enough ammunition to cover the attack. And the artillery also needs to count the ammunition and deliver the ammunition to the artillery positions to prepare for high-intensity bombing.

In short, the attack requires preparation, but it does not take too long. In about five or six minutes, everyone completed the preliminary preparations.

Then, under the leadership of Captain Ge, the Special Company 1 went down the hillside from the north, walked along the beach of Changyuan River, and headed towards Laiyuan Town. Behind them, the soldiers of the supplementary brigade also went down the mountain, and then divided into two groups, each performing their duties and going to their respective positions.

On Li Yuexuan's side, he brought 22 grenade launcher groups from the grenade launcher battle group, selected 20 soldiers with good marksmanship from the 1st Company, and even brought 3 machine gun groups from the st Platoon, and was ready.

Li Yuexuan's side was covering the attack, but that didn't mean they wouldn't get close to the enemy. So the result of the discussion with them was that Li Yuexuan led this reinforced platoon of troops to directly cross the valley in the east and rush directly to the ridge northeast of Laiyuan Town, occupying the commanding heights and providing cover from a high position.

Of course, Li Yuexuan and his team's action started a little later than that of the Special First Company, and they even had to take a shortcut and march in secret.

Well, this tactic is very similar to the Japanese's combination of strange and regular offensive tactics. The Special First Company led the supplementary brigade to attack from the front to attract the Japanese's attention. There were even artillery on the mountain to suppress them, and they fought with a resolute attitude. On the other hand, Li Yuexuan quietly sneaked up behind the Japanese and dealt them a ruthless blow.
