Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 372 Chapter 371, the battle to block the door continues
Thanks to the nourishment of river water, there are a large number of farmlands outside Xiyang City, mostly wheat fields, and the crops seem to be growing very well.

The Japanese knew that they couldn't kill all the people, and at least left some people to work, otherwise they would have to go to work in the fields. Therefore, the farmland outside the city was cultivated, and there were also people living in the city, some shops, and some peddlers hawking their wares on the streets.

This afternoon, the sudden battle outside the East Gate made the people in the city stay at home nervously, and they no longer dared to walk on the streets.

In the backyard of a shop, two people dressed like ordinary businessmen and a person dressed as an interpreter sat harmoniously around a small square table, listening to the sound of gunfire coming from outside the city, with confusion and puzzlement on their faces.

"Didn't they say that they had mobilized key troops from Ping'an County to fight against the purge? Why are they attacking the county town? The Japanese have at least several hundred soldiers in the county town. Can they take it down?" A man dressed as an interpreter, who was in his 20s, asked carefully while wiping the sweat from his forehead with a towel.

"The organization already knows about the Japanese massacre of civilians. Lao Mo went out of the city to make contact yesterday, but we don't know the details! This time I called you here to ask about the specific movements of the Japanese." The middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper casually tucked the hem of his long gown into his left waist, revealing the box gun hanging on his right hip.

"The Japanese received a telegram for help from the Dongyetou stronghold early this morning, and then sent more than 260 Japanese soldiers out of the city to reinforce, and they went there by car... Could it be a feint to the east to attack the west?" The young man continued in a speculative tone: "Even if it is a feint to the east to attack the west, there is no need to attack the county town, right?"

"Hehe, no matter what, we can't have any abnormalities, just behave as usual. Everything will wait until Lao Mo comes back! When you go back, you must be extra careful, especially when you are sent out to fight, remember to stay away from the front. Okay, everything is ready, you should leave quickly!" The man who had been silent all the time spoke at this time.

Soon, the young translator walked out of the Chinese medicine shop with a step that showed no regard for his relatives, holding a string of medicine bags in his hand, and headed towards the Japanese city defense headquarters.

At the same time, outside the city, Li Yuexuan had already led the Youyi Company and the special forces to the wheat field more than 300 meters outside the south gate. Looking at the puppet soldiers standing guard with guns outside the gate, and the Japanese machine gunners squatting in the heavy machine gun fortifications, Li Yuexuan picked up the grenade launcher again and said, "There are no civilians outside the city gate, you can attack freely. I will bomb the heavy machine gun position in the west, and you can do whatever you want!"

After that, Li Yuexuan tilted the grenade launcher to the ground, pulled the trigger, and fired the grenade. Just as he gave the order, semi-automatic gunshots rang out around him.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...bullets flew through the air, more than a hundred guns fired at the same time, and immediately concentrated fire on the devils outside the city gate. You know, the first company plus the special operations team, the special service team, and Li Yuexuan and Cai Xiaotian, there are exactly 150 soldiers. So many people fired at the same time, and they were all soldiers with outstanding marksmanship and fired semi-automatic guns. Whether it was the devils or the puppet army, they could not escape death.

However, the grenade launcher still had to be used! This was not only to deal with the two sandbag fortifications that could be used as shelters, but also to directly destroy the heavy machine guns! Let's put it this way, Li Yuexuan had no intention of entering the county town to fight from the beginning, and he didn't even plan to approach the county town, just to block the devils in the city and prevent them from coming out.

To achieve this, the first thing to do is to deal with the Japanese at the four city gates, then block the Japanese reinforcements from the north and south, and deal with some of the outposts and checkpoints on the periphery. Li Yuexuan did not plan to block Xiyang City for too long, but the right attitude must be shown! Of course, if there is a radio station or something to contact the military sub-district at this time, perhaps there will be greater results. The communication problem has always been a big problem facing the Eighth Route Army, and Li Yuexuan said that he could not solve it.

Seeing that the Japanese puppet troops outside the South Gate had been dealt with, the Japanese patrol squad patrolling on the city wall also relied on the pass on the city wall to shoot outward. At this time, because there was no suddenness in the battle, the Japanese were not easy to fight. But it didn't matter. At a distance of more than 300 meters, the Japanese's shooting skills were not that accurate, and they were not as good as the guerrillas with precision marksman rifles and sniper rifles.

However, in this situation, Li Yuexuan decisively threw the precision marksman rifle to Cai Xiaotian: "All personnel suppress fire, you have 20 seconds to fight! Grenade launchers focus fire on the city wall, line up and bomb, split left and right with the city gate tower as the center point... Xiong Er, prepare grenades, high explosive bombs!"

That's right, Li Yuexuan decisively gave up the gun battle and chose to use a grenade launcher to solve the problem! At this time, the Japs were on the city wall, blocked by the city wall, and the Japs also adopted side fire. The rifle was too slow to solve them, and it was not as fast and fierce as the grenade launcher.

Dadada... Pah... In the wheat fields, the soldiers scattered on the ridges and furrows kept firing, attracting the Japanese's firepower. Especially those comrades holding assault rifles, they fired short bursts at the passes one by one, fully using the assault rifles as light machine guns.

The Japanese soldiers on the city wall, facing the bullets whizzing past the pass, did not dare to lean forward to aim, so they could only hide their heads behind the wall and just stick the barrel of the gun out of the pass to fire.

And this kind of battle was just as Li Yuexuan said, it only lasted for more than 10 seconds! That's right, Li Yuexuan was not fighting alone, he was accompanied by 3 grenade throwers from the special forces and 1 grenade throwers from the 9st company. These veterans who were trained with Li Yuexuan only needed one order from Li Yuexuan to know how to fight.

So, within less than 10 seconds of everyone firing, the sound of grenade launchers firing could be heard in the wheat field. Then, within a few seconds, grenades were bombarded one after another on the city wall. That was the city wall, with a blue brick wall and a wall more than three meters wide, which was the perfect environment for grenade launchers to explode.

More than 10 grenades exploded on the city wall, and the unobstructed fragments and shock waves raged on the top of the wall. The Japanese soldiers who had just been hiding behind the parapet and firing were completely borne the shock waves and fragments.

On the auxiliary panel in front of him, there were no red punctuation marks on the city wall. Li Yuexuan smiled and said, "Perfect! Sniper team, precision shooter combat team, alert! Everyone, check if there are any wounded? First company, send a few people to clean up the Japanese team we just eliminated, take away the guns, ammunition and other valuables, chop off the Japanese heads and pile them up for the Japanese in the city to see!"

"Report, no casualties... Report, the bodies have been dealt with... Report, the guns and ammunition have been brought back, what should we do with them?"
