Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 307 Chapter 306, Return
The ruins of the Beiguan stronghold... ahem, it should probably be called ruins, because the artillery tower is gone, the bunker is in ruins, and the Japanese were buried, so it can probably be called a ruins.

"Although there are not many Japs here, we still have some captured goods! Especially on the first floor of the Japs' artillery tower, the Japs actually hid so much food in there! I said that we didn't find much in Beiguan Village, it turns out they were all hidden in the artillery tower!" The speaker was Captain Hu, who was standing on the artillery tower at this time.

"The bad thing is that when the explosive packs on both sides of us explode, the food will be mixed with a lot of soil and rocks! But we don't care, we can still eat it after sifting it clean!" said the captain of the 7th Company.

"Stop talking nonsense, and quickly call the comrades to take these spoils away! We didn't even seize any trucks, and we don't have anyone who can drive a truck, otherwise one truck could have taken away several thousand kilograms!"

While everyone was talking, Li Yuexuan and his team of convoy returned from the south. As they passed through Beiguan Village, they honked their horns one by one, and the dust behind the cars flew high.

"Look, they are good at fighting and driving. We should learn from them! Oh, and what about that homemade tank? Let's study it together..."

"There's no rush to research the earth tank. What I'm thinking is that we have to find a way to improve our comrades' shooting skills! I saw it from behind, and from 200 meters away, these comrades almost shot down a machine gunner with one shot. It's so accurate! If we had a dozen of these people under our command, fighting would be easy!"

Li Yuexuan didn't know that while he was driving back and admiring the mountain scenery on both sides, he had become the topic of conversation among others.

Because there were no Japanese soldiers blocking the way, the team returned to Laiyuan Town at a very fast speed, and met comrades from the horse-drawn team on the way. Well, it was a team of horse-drawn and donkey-drawn carts seized from Laiyuan Town, and they were also delivering things to the south.

The convoy stopped in front of the Laiyuan stronghold, and the comrades who stayed here once again became hardworking porters and filled the trucks again. Then, the convoy headed south again...

This time, they did not come back, but followed the transport team of the 772nd Regiment, heading eastward, and finally gathered with everyone at the brigade headquarters.

When the truck stopped again, Captain Guo was not waiting for them, and no one knew where he went. Li Yuexuan got off the truck first, and then handed over to the comrades here, and then saw Shu Youtuan holding a notebook and recording something.

After greeting him from a distance, Li Yuexuan and the others went to the place where they drank ginger soup before and quickly packed up their clothes and shoes. In order to carry them conveniently, they also found some canvas bags from Laiyuan Town to carry these things. Of course, since there would be a battle next, they also replenished their ammunition.

Because they had no direct subordinate relationship with the 772nd Regiment, no one from the 772nd Regiment arranged for Li Yuexuan and his team to do any work. However, Li Yuexuan was not idle. After everyone emptied the truck, he took the initiative to lead the team to Beiguan and brought it back. After emptying the truck, he also dismantled almost everything that could be dismantled from the truck...

By the time we were done with all this, it was already evening, and the sun was about to set in the west. In the south, we could hear gunshots from time to time, probably because the comrades of the independent regiment were blocking the Japanese from going north.

In Laiyuan Town, Captain Gao and his men finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that they could retreat. Fortunately, during this afternoon, the Japanese did not send a large force to fight, except for arranging two trucks to check the situation. Of course, the two trucks had been blown up by then, because Shi Peican and his men used the two trucks to practice live ammunition shooting...

"Okay, let's go! Let's go back the same way!" Looking at the Laiyuan Town stronghold that had been on fire at the foot of the mountain, Captain Gao waved his hand and led the way east. "After this battle, our supplementary brigade can be regarded as having fought a big battle!" Political Commissar Wang said with a smile: "I just don't know how the brigade commander will arrange our equipment."

"No matter how it is arranged, our guerrillas only need to replenish some ammunition, and you can do whatever you want with the rest!" Xing Weiguo continued to carry forward the guerrillas' style of "scattering money"...

The guerrillas really didn't need too many weapons and equipment, and even the head of the headquarters knew this. So, when they heard Xing Weiguo's words, no one was surprised at all.

"By the way, what are the Japanese thinking right now? We've attacked three strongholds, but they don't have any reaction?" asked Captain Ge.

The Japanese did react, and their reaction was huge! Especially at the headquarters of the First Army, the newly appointed First Army Commander Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka slammed the table at the headquarters.

Shinozuka Yoshio was also a fierce general, especially in the Battle of Wuhan, he made outstanding achievements, so he was promoted to the commander of the First Army. However, he had just taken over the First Army and was not familiar with the various teams under his command, nor was he familiar with the defense zone, and he was unable to make accurate and timely deployments.

Of course, there is another reason, which is that the Japanese invaders were undergoing a major blood transfusion at this time. Some special divisions were transferred back to China for demobilization, and some were returned halfway. The 10th and 20th divisions were transferred back to China and the other was transferred to North Korea. At the same time, the newly added 10 three-unit divisions also entered China, and some independent mixed brigades were also newly formed and entered China.

In short, from October to December, the Japanese were undergoing a major blood transfusion, which resulted in the command system not being able to respond in time. During this period, the Eighth Route Army did not stop fighting in southeastern Shanxi. The Japanese were constantly losing personnel, consuming food, ammunition, medical supplies, etc., and their manpower was already insufficient.

Therefore, when he received the final confirmed news that the three strongholds on the Baijin Line were captured in one day, Yoshio Shinozuka was so angry that he slammed the table, but he really couldn't mobilize many troops for a while.

"Brigade Commander, what is the mission of our guerrillas?" At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, Li Yuexuan and his men finally returned to the brigade headquarters. The first thing Xing Weiguo thought of was to ask the brigade commander for the mission.

"Your mission..." The brigade commander was busy and had no plans for the time being, so he said, "For the time being, you will stay with the brigade headquarters and be responsible for the garrison work of the brigade headquarters. Just follow the guard battalion!"

"Oh, by the way, let me give you a general direction! We are going back to where you came from before!" After the brigade commander said this, he walked away with a smile.

"So we marched all night, covering more than a hundred miles, then another 80 miles, and then fought a battle, and then returned..." Xing Weiguo began to calculate the distance of the past few days in his mind.

"Haha, Captain, this is good! We can mobilize our 386th Brigade back, which means we have a big war to fight!" Li Yuexuan laughed.
