Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 298 Chapter 297 Hurry up and get in position
Li Yuexuan's idea was very simple, which was to use pepper smoke to block the line of sight, and then he led the 1st Company of the You Group to the southern end of Yuan Town and attacked at the same time as the 1st Company of the Special Group, and finally won the battle.

That’s right, the fighting method is basically the same as that of the Nanguan stronghold. After all, the purpose of this thing is just there, and it has no other use.

But when Li Yuexuan told Xing Weiguo and the others about this idea, Xing Weiguo was the first to raise an opinion: "The idea is good, but you can't lead the specific attack personnel! You should understand the specific reasons if you think about it, so I won't say it! But since you think the effect of the pepper bomb is so good, you can let Zheng Changfeng and the others lead the team to attack!"

"And you..." Xing Weiguo glanced at Li Yuexuan and continued, "You change the team structure, take the vanguard squad, and go around to attack the enemy from behind. This way, you can prevent the enemy from escaping from the mountain, and you can also bomb and snipe them nearby to ensure victory in the battle!"

"As for the safety of the artillery position, we have the transport squad, the cooking squad and the medical staff, which is enough!" Xing Weiguo glanced at the ammunition soldiers at the artillery position and said, "The few extra semi-automatic rifles we have are in the hands of the ammunition soldiers in the artillery platoon!"

"Okay, in that case, let's do as you say! Captain, please contact the Special Company 1 first and determine the time of the attack. Let's not fix a time. Before you bomb the pepper bombs, have the artillery stand on this hill and wave the red flag left and right! Tell them that after the mortar bombing is over, I will have the grenade launcher fire three more salvos!"

"Remember, after three rounds of salvos, start the countdown immediately and launch the formal attack in two minutes! Hu Lanzhou? Take the vanguard squad with you, let's go east and find a place to get down the mountain!"

The brief discussion took more than a minute, and the Special Company 1 at the foot of the mountain had not yet launched an attack. However, their light machine guns were already suppressing fire, and they were about to launch an attack.

Because there was no real-time telephone communication, the people on the mountain could only see that the First Special Company organized a spearhead squad and rushed to the door of the stronghold under the cover of machine guns.

At this time, the location of the Special 1st Company was near the middle of Laiyuan Town. There was a huge courtyard close to the highway. There was a huge artillery tower in the courtyard. There were several brick and stone bunkers outside the courtyard. There were Type 99 light machine guns firing continuously in the bunkers.

"Comrades, follow me..." Squad leader Qian of the spearhead squad was an old soldier. After he shouted, he leaned down, holding his gun, and walked in a curve, constantly moving towards the stronghold. Behind him, the machine gunner of the same squad was also following. His target was a section of the railway embankment, where he planned to set up a machine gun position.

At the same time, nine soldiers holding guns and carrying grenades were scattered on the riverbank, roads and railways, launching an attack on the stronghold.

Gaga Gaga… The Type 2.5 machine gun on the turret sounded again. The Type machine gun with a x scope had a slow firing rate, but its long-range cluster sniping capability was still very strong. So, when the bullets of the heavy machine gun swept past a soldier, the soldier fell headfirst onto the railway, and his blood stained the rails and sleepers red.

"Damn it! Right here, set up your guns and suppress the fire!" On the mountain facing Laiyuan Town on the southwest side, the platoon leader of the heavy machine gun platoon of the 1st Special Company was furious and ordered his men to set up the heavy machine guns on the spot.

Soon, the sounds of the Type 24 and Type 92 machine guns rang out on the mountain. Strings of bullets fired at the firing holes of the turret, suppressing the Japanese machine gunners.

At the same time, machine gunners from each squad fired at the machine gun bunker outside the stronghold from different angles to cover the attacking vanguard squad. In the team of the spearhead squad, there was a soldier holding a Type 38 rifle, and next to him was a young soldier holding a pack of explosives. The soldier holding the Type 38 rifle was the squad leader Wang of the spearhead squad. While running, he fell down under the railway embankment, and then five or six bullets flew over his head with a sound of breaking through the air and hit the gravel behind him.

Looking back, squad leader Wang breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, don't be nervous, just follow my movements, it's okay! Listen, the Japanese's Type 5 rifle has a special feature, its magazine is on one side, and the bullets are pumped into the machine gun from the bottom of the magazine. After every five rounds, there will be a pause, the bridge clip will fall, and then a new row of bullets will fall down."

"So, we have to find this pattern! Also, people's reactions are time-consuming, so we have to run left and right without any pattern! Su Xiaoxiao, give me the explosive pack, and then follow me, but don't be too close! Once I'm shot and fall to the ground, you continue to rush with the explosive pack, rush directly to the bunker and blow it up for me! At this time, it would be great if there was a shell to cover us!"

Just as he was sighing, a shell really fell from the sky and hit the top of the bunker directly. However, the mortar shell did not have much penetrating power and did not blow up the bunker.

However, the violent explosion and the smoke and dust produced by the explosion were enough to cover the attack. So, Squad Leader Wang first looked at the hilltop in the south, then picked up the explosive pack and said, "Follow me..."

Under the cover of artillery shells and with the desperate encouragement of other comrades, Squad Leader Wang took Su Xiaoxiao, leaped over the railway, took a curve, and approached one of the bunkers.

But when they got within 50 meters, the Japanese in the bunker discovered them and fired at them with several Type light machine guns, forcing them to lie down behind a small mound and dare not move forward.

"You said you want to use smoke bombs? Let's get ready for an all-out attack?" At this moment, the information exchange between the people on the mountain and those below was finally completed, and Captain Ge also understood the intentions on the mountain.

Well, at this time, Zheng Changfeng, Chen Changsheng and others had already organized the first and second rows of the patrol company, and had already descended from the mountain and were marching towards the streets south of Laiyuan Town.

On the surface, this small town was facing a situation of being attacked from both sides. In the valley to the east, Li Yuexuan and his group of more than 50 people had already crossed the valley and were climbing up the mountain ridge that Xianglaiyuan Town was leaning against. Although the slope was somewhat steep, it did not slow down their speed, and they were still climbing very fast.

"Hurry up, hurry up, get in position quickly..." On the mountain, Xing Weiguo and Captain Gao Da were all holding binoculars and watching the battle. At this moment, their eyes were focused on Li Yuexuan and his group. As long as Li Yuexuan and his group reached the ridge from the east, Laiyuan Town would be surrounded by enemies on three sides, and they could take it down in one fell swoop.

Fortunately, Li Yuexuan and his team did not disappoint. They soon appeared on the ridge more than 300 meters east of Laiyuan Town.
