Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 315 Chapter 314, the people are coming, where are the Japs?
After marching for more than 60 miles, more than 600 people arrived at a place called Changning Village in the afternoon.

"Okay, we can stop here! Dongyang Pass is 4 miles to the south. There is no need for us to all guard the pass, so I will take you to see the terrain first." Captain Ge said.

"We have to go and take a look. It's not enough to just talk about it on paper!" Li Yuexuan really wanted to continue expanding the new map of the panel and agreed with this statement.

"Let's go, our special company will go there together, and you main force can settle down here first!" said Captain Ge.

"Captain, I'll go with you. Who else should go?" Li Yuexuan looked at Zhao Danian.

"Let's all go. Let Lao Zhu stay behind to arrange for the comrades to be stationed. Let's take a look at the terrain first." Zhao Danian said.

"Let's go, the reconnaissance platoon!" Xing Weiguo waved his hand, and the cavalry platoon set off first...

Dongyang Pass was soon reached, and by this time, the cavalry reconnaissance platoon had already expanded and checked both sides. Then, everyone went up the stairs to the pass to check the surrounding terrain.

"Look, that's the old Dongyang Ridge, and this is Queen's Ridge..." Captain Ge said, pointing to several high grounds around him.

"It's hard to imagine how the Sichuan Army fought the Japanese for three days and three nights here last year!" Li Yuexuan looked at the surrounding terrain and included it all in the map on the auxiliary panel.

"The Sichuan Army is brave and the people of Sichuan have lived up to their country. We must not forget this! So, how do we arrange the tasks?" asked Captain Ge.

"Let's follow the terrain! Arrange positions at Queen's Ridge and Dongyang Ridge, occupy these two high grounds, set up heavy machine guns and mortars, and then arrange a company to garrison at the critical point. The rest depends on where the Japanese come from!" said Zhao Danian.

"Okay, let's arrange it this way..." After the negotiation, everyone returned, leaving only the Special 1st Company to guard the pass.

After everyone finished their lunch and took a rest, the main force of the guerrillas headed south, set up positions directly on the top of Queen Ridge, and established a command post in a cave.

The next period of time was to assign combat positions, dig trenches, and set up heavy machine guns... In short, after a busy night, a crossfire position was set up at Dongyang Pass the next day. Of course, this position was on the east side of Dongyang Pass, and the main defense direction was the Japanese troops coming from the east.

As long as the Japanese come over and reach Dongyang Pass, they will face fire attacks from at least three sides. Well, because the terrain here has a corner, it is just right for this arrangement.

But in the following period of time, everyone was a little... well, at a loss!

Why? Those who have watched the dialect version of Tom and Jerry in Heaven Elevator may remember this scene. The hellhound in hell is holding a small fork, guarding the oil pan and saying: "The fire is burning, the oil is boiling, why is no one coming?"

The guerrillas were probably in the same mood as the hellhound: "I have dug this position well and set up machine guns, why haven't the devils come?" This is not nonsense, but since the guerrillas were stationed at Dongyang Pass, they have not seen a single devil passing by here for three whole days! ! Three days, how did they spend these three days? The comrades stayed at the position every day, hoping that the devils would come, but they never came.

In order to relieve the loneliness, the veterans present pulled the new recruits over and began to educate them.

"Sanshui, do you see this hillside at the bottom of the mountain? Go down and take a look later. If you pretend to be the Japanese and want to attack this position, where will they attack from? That's right, they will go up from this hillside! So, we put the shooting hole here, so that we can't hit the Japanese on the south side of the mountain, but we can shoot at this hillside!"

"Boy, learn this. Once the trench is dug, you won't have nothing to do! Do you think I dug a hole on the side to keep warm? You're wrong. This is a cannon-proof hole! Come, let me draw for you..."

"Raise your gun and hold it steady. Make sure your left arm and right shoulder remain stable, and align the muzzle with this weak spot! Then, the enemy you see through the crosshairs will be your aim."

"Come on, all of you, don't just sit there, start doing push-ups, let's do 100 first! You guys look so skinny, but you can't fight with weak arms!"

"I am your platoon leader. You can call me Lao Zou or Platoon Leader Zou. It doesn't matter! What I want to say is that from the moment you put on your military uniforms, we are comrades! This is a battlefield, and I will block bullets for you when the fight starts! Not for anything else, just for the sake of being a comrade, and for the ideal of resisting Japan and serving the country!"

What is on-site teaching? ? It is on-site teaching now! With ready-made positions and ready-made recruits, the veterans use serious tones and strict training to impart the little skills they have mastered on the battlefield to the recruits without reservation.

In a sense, the new recruits who joined the guerrillas were lucky! Because they had enough training ammunition, enough veterans to take care of them, and sufficient logistical support. Now, what everyone hoped for was that the battle would come soon, Licheng would be taken quickly, and fewer new recruits would be sacrificed.

However, for the past three days, Captain Pi led everyone to surround Licheng, but they didn't attack much, just to wear down the patience of the Japanese. The Japanese were not ambiguous, and they continued to fire artillery shells at the surrounding mountains every day, just like they were free. You said the casualties of the Eighth Route Army? ? There were none at all! We had already figured out the Japanese's tricks and knew how to avoid them.

"Captain, look, the Japs are coming out of the county town!" Early in the morning on the fourth day after the guerrillas entered Dongyang Pass, the comrades of the cavalry platoon finally brought good news.

"The Japs are coming out? Great, great, let's go and take a look!" Li Yuexuan was leaning against the trench thinking about something, and suddenly jumped up.

"Let's go, we can see it over here!" Hu Lanzhou shouted, and the guerrilla company commanders followed him to the top of the hill.

What's more, in the morning light, some Japanese soldiers really came out of the county town. There were 8 trucks in total, with Japanese soldiers on board, swaying towards the east.

"This is great, we've finally got what we're waiting for... wait... who's moving over there?" As Zhao Danian was speaking, he saw through the telescope that there were dozens of small black dots quietly moving along the river.

This is because we are on the top of the mountain and can see it from a high vantage point, but it cannot be seen from the road.
