Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 322 Chapter 321, Return to Dongyang Pass

Li Yuexuan actually found a place to have a good sleep, but that was after he had eaten and drunk his fill.

Because the wounded had been treated and there were no more combat missions, no one disturbed him and he was allowed to sleep quietly in the room. But everyone was curious about who this big shot was sleeping in? There was a sentry outside the room where he slept, and the gun the sentry carried was something no one had ever seen before...

It was not someone else who arranged the sentry for Li Yuexuan, but Cai Xiaotian and Tian Chuan. As Li Yuexuan's guard, Cai Xiaotian naturally had the responsibility to protect his safety. Although he felt that it was Li Yuexuan who took care of him during the battle, he still had to take responsibility.

As the squad leader of the guerrilla guard squad, Tianchuan had been secretly assigned a task by Zhu Xingyu and others long ago, which was to fight with Li Yuexuan and protect his safety when necessary.

Therefore, it was not strange to see a sentry standing outside the room where Li Yuexuan was resting. By the way, it is worth mentioning that the 12 people in the guard squad, in addition to Tianchuan, also include the familiar brothers Xiong Wen and Xiong Wu. They were originally in the artillery squad carrying mortars, and later when the squads were divided, they were asked by Li Yuexuan to come over.

The two brothers are tall and strong. They are not good at shooting, but they are good at helping to carry ammunition in the guard squad. They are also good at close combat and are like human turrets when throwing grenades.

In short, Li Yuexuan thought it was most appropriate to place Xiong Wen and Xiong Wu in the guard squad and keep them by his side.

The next morning, Li Yuexuan met Captain Ge again at the medical station, but he was covered in blood and seemed to have participated in a major battle.

"Captain Ge, what are you doing?" Li Yuexuan was very curious. He hadn't seen Captain Ge for a day and a night. What had he been doing? He only knew that the Special First Company was divided into two and participated in the siege and the Dongyang Pass blocking battle, but he didn't know anything else.

"I didn't do anything. It was just that yesterday, after you blew up the Japanese's artillery position, I led two platoons of the company as a commando team and took the lead in attacking the city! Look, the blood on your body was all from when we were fighting with the Japanese with bayonets!" Captain Ge looked very tired, but his eyes were bright.

"Then do you know what our guerrilla cavalry platoon did yesterday?" Li Yuexuan asked.

"Ha, your cavalry platoon was drafted by our regiment commander, and they all served as messengers yesterday. Now, they have returned to Dongyang Pass, so you don't have to worry! Oh, by the way, you also want to ask how your guerrillas are doing? Let me tell you..." Captain Ge told him about the Dongyang Pass blocking battle.

"In other words, our guerrillas lost 6 people and injured 19 people in this battle, but with your three platoons, we wiped out a total of 3 Japanese and puppet troops who broke through!" said Li Yuexuan.

"That's right! This time, all the Japanese soldiers stationed in Zhaodian and Licheng have been wiped out. The entire Licheng section of the Handan-Changzhi Highway is under our control!" said Captain Ge.

"That's great! By the way, can I return to the team now? Does the commander have any orders?" Li Yuexuan asked. "Yes, I can return to the team. I'm here to pass on the order! Our commander said thank you for your efforts this time, and we will remember it. By the way, although the devils destroyed a lot of food and other things this time, we still seized some supplies in the county. Our commander specially asked me to deliver some good things to you. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here."

Li Yuexuan soon saw the good stuff Captain Ge had in mind. A whole box of canned food and several bottles of liquor. Looking at the types of canned food, there were beef and fish, and even several cans of milk powder and square boxes of milk candy, all of which were unopened.

These things are not rare in later generations, and can be bought in supermarkets. But in this era, they are really good things. Especially milk powder, which is a top product even in later generations! It’s not that the Japanese craftsmanship is so good, but that there are no various additives in it, no technology and hard work.

Another point is that the Showa men at that time were not nuclear men. The atmosphere, soil, sea and sun of this planet had not been polluted by nuclear explosions. Therefore, the food pollution level at that time was almost non-existent, and such conditions could never be achieved later.

After accepting a large box of canned food from Captain Pi, Li Yuexuan decided to lead the team to Dongyang Pass to join the captain and his men. At the same time, he also wanted to bring the comrades from the artillery platoon over.

Yesterday, Li Yuexuan's operation directly destroyed the Japanese artillery position, which made the subsequent siege extremely smooth. After capturing the county town, they also seized more than 500 rounds of various artillery shells. In other words, if the Japanese artillery position is not destroyed, the Japanese artillery will fire all these shells on the siege team.

Now, these shells have become our spoils, and we can turn around and shoot them back at the Japanese. It's a double happiness. So, Captain Pi was not stingy and generously replenished the guerrillas' mortars with 80 shells, which is the base number of a gun.

Li Yuexuan and his companions traveled eastwards and did not enter the city, nor did they see the ruined houses and sad people in the city. What he saw were some villagers who returned to their homes along the way, diligently tidying up their houses, and people pushing carts and carrying baskets picking up the abandoned feces everywhere.

The people are in hardship! They have just returned home and are already thinking about the planting problem after the beginning of next spring. Unfortunately, because the Japanese invaders attacked in July, they were not eliminated until now, which delayed the autumn planting and the yield is bound to be reduced next year. The good news is that in the next few years, Licheng has remained in a posture of not being occupied for a long time, and the people nearby have recovered.

The team moved very fast, and it was still morning when they arrived at Dongyang Pass. When Li Yuexuan arrived here, the first person he saw was Hu Lanzhou riding a warhorse and leading the cavalry platoon in training. Then, he saw the guerrilla fighters who had a completely different temperament. After experiencing the blocking battle at Dongyang Pass yesterday, the new recruits who had just joined the guerrillas had also experienced combat.

Especially after cleaning up the battlefield, the new recruits came into close contact with blood and death, understood the cruelty of battle, and their entire selves underwent inner changes.

The new soldiers may not notice this change, but the veterans can tell the difference at a glance. Well, to put it bluntly, there is a murderous look in their eyes...
