Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 362 Chapter 361, Training Completed, Something to Come

Which is more important, talent or hard work? Li Yuexuan couldn't make a judgment! However, when he trained the guerrillas, or even the only 9 and a half snipers (precision shooters) in the entire Eighth Route Army, he was aiming for talented players. Why 9 and a half? Because Comrade Cai Xiaotian was just a filler, at most half a sniper.

Just like a top student can master knowledge in one hour, a poor student can't master it in a week. After 9 days of training, the marksmanship level of these nine and a half snipers of the guerrillas has reached Li Yuexuan's initial requirements.

That's right, a sniper can accurately hit a 600-meter drifting moving target, and a precision shooter can accurately hit a 400-meter drifting moving target. Moreover, for the time being, their hit rate is 100%. Why is it temporary? Because Li Yuexuan gave them a live-fire shooting test with rounds of bullets, and they all hit. More? Bullets are precious.

After the final test, the snipers and precision shooters have completed their training. At the same time, the observers who are paired with the snipers and precision shooters have also completed their training.

In order to facilitate the allocation, when selecting snipers and precision shooters, Li Yuexuan selected them from the established units. For example, the special operations team needed two snipers and three precision shooters, so Tian Chuan and Wang Wu were the candidates for snipers, and Bai Dabao, Lan Hu, and Sun Donglai were the candidates for precision shooters.

The sniper rifles given to the team headquarters were chosen by Zou Yunming. Note that this was not Zou Ming, but a soldier who had been carefully selected from the veterans and had a good shooting talent and had attended the academy. The precision marksman rifles that were scheduled to be distributed to the first company would naturally be trained by soldiers selected from the first company.

By the same token, the observers assigned to these snipers and precision shooters are also soldiers drawn from their respective units.

With the completion of these trainings, Li Yuexuan finally decided to complete this special training and let them return to their respective units. At this point, all the units of the guerrillas have completed their overall organization, and what remains is combat experience. As for the opportunity to experience combat? Li Yuexuan was thinking about the big event that was destined to happen this year - the Hundred Regiments Campaign!
That's right, the biggest move of the Eighth Route Army today is the Hundred Regiments Campaign! In such a large-scale, long-term battle, there must be a chance for the guerrillas to fight, right? Even if there is no chance of a tough battle, there must be a chance to fight against the enemy's transport team, tear up the railway, and blow up the bridge, right? Moreover, the guerrillas have the right to fight independently, which is clearly stipulated by the headquarters.

Therefore, Li Yuexuan was not in a hurry, because the battle was bound to come, and the guerrillas only needed to consolidate the defense area, strengthen their bodies, and wait for the next battle.

However, things did not happen according to Li Yuexuan's will. Even if he was the protagonist of a book, the author would not let him be idle for too long. So, just when Li Yuexuan refocused his attention on the weapons workshop and planned to mobilize some resources and production capacity to try to make a rocket launcher, the county government in Xiyang sent a distress signal to the Youyi Division.

Where is Xiyang? It is a county town about 30 miles south of Ping'an County. Because it is very close to Ping'an County and Yangquan further north, there are not many soldiers stationed here, only two squadrons. Of course, there are not many Japanese, but there are many puppet troops. There are about 300 puppet troops in the garrison, helping the Japanese to garrison the county town and surrounding strongholds. There are also special agencies such as the detective team and the police station in the city.

Why did the cadres of Xiyang seek help from the First Division and finally contact the Beishan guerrillas? Because unlike Ping'an County, the devils around Xiyang had not suffered too many setbacks, so they were more rampant.

At the beginning of May, Qingshui Riichi, the chief of the Japanese secret service stationed in Xiyang, launched an "anti-communist movement" in county-level pseudo-institutions and schools in the name of "cleansing politics."

The gendarmerie, the guard, the police station, the secret agents and traitors were all dispatched to capture the pseudo representatives of the village maintenance association near the city gate, the primary school teachers and other intellectuals in batches and bring them back to the county town. The key targets were tortured and tortured in various ways. The general public was dragged to the Xihe River in the county town and buried alive on the charge of "collaborating with bandits" without asking any questions. In the first "cleansing of politics", Qingshui Riichi buried more than 100 people alive. On May 5, he began to "clean up the communists internally", that is, "clean up the suburbs". His policy was: "consolidate the area within 20 miles around the city and destroy the area beyond 15 miles." For this reason, Qingshui Riichi also mobilized the Japanese army in Yangquan to carry out three consecutive "big activities" against Xiyang. In addition to the internal cleansing of communism, a total of 15 people were massacred and buried alive.

The above is the information that Li Yuexuan searched from his mobile phone. This information was searched after the guerrillas received a call from the first division, asking them to help the comrades in Xiyang to carry out anti-purge activities. Now it is May 5th, and the devils are still slaughtering our people crazily. It seems that it is not too late.

The meeting was held, still in the main hall of the front yard of the Liang family compound. This time, all the company-level cadres of the guerrillas and the platoon leaders of their direct subordinate platoons attended the meeting.

"It has already happened. The devils are slaughtering our people and destroying the fortress village and hidden front we have built with great difficulty. Therefore, according to the requirements of Division 1, we, as well as Captain Guo and his men, need to secretly mobilize a capable team and sneak into the fortress village near Xiyang to launch a strike against the devil's actions!"

"So, does anyone have anything to say?" In the conference room, Zhu Xingyu introduced the situation, and Zhao Danian looked at the cadres present with an inquiring look.

"There's nothing to say. Our cavalry platoon has been training for such a long time, we must participate in this operation!" Hu Lanzhou was the first to stand up and speak.

"Our first company is the most elite mobile force of our guerrillas. We can't just stand idly by!" Zheng Changfeng said second.

"Well...our special forces team has been fully trained, and it's time to participate in actual combat!" Tianchuan Xin was promoted, but his voice was not very confident.

"I, we..." The company commanders present stood up one after another, saying that they were indispensable in this matter and must participate.

"Comrade Youshun, why don't you say anything? Do you have any opinions?" Xing Weiguo asked Li Yuexuan who had been silent (looking down to check information).

"My opinion?" Li Yuexuan organized his words and said, "Since the First Division has assigned the task to us and Captain Guo and his men, and also asked us to operate in secret, then it will be difficult for the cavalry platoon to be dispatched! At the same time, they also asked us to mobilize a team of elite troops, so the newly formed Second, Third, and Fourth Companies are not suitable."

"So, this time, I will lead the team myself, with the special forces team and one more company!" said Li Yuexuan.
