Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 40, Peak of Taihang
Finally they knew the objective of tonight's operation, so the soldiers stood together with bated breath, staring at Captain Huang with burning eyes.

"Ahem, comrades, tonight's mission is very simple, and that is to be bait!" As soon as Captain Huang opened his mouth, everyone's emotions became a little tense.

"Yes, the mission we received is to delay the Japanese mopping-up teams on both sides of Xiajia River and Yingli River. The number of Japanese is about 1200 or more. And our troops only have one battalion, the guard company and the special agent company directly under the regiment. Of course, there is also a supplementary battalion, but those are all new recruits and are completely useless. Otherwise, our company's construction can be completed."

"So, the regiment commander came up with an idea. That is to use us as bait to attract the Japanese from the Yingli River, and then ambush them halfway! The special forces company will also perform the same task. They will also take the initiative to attack and attract the Japanese to the place where we fought during the day, and ambush them there."

"Comrades, the regiment commander values ​​us and has given us the most difficult task! Therefore, we must fight well and try to lure all the devils into our ambush area! The specific ambush location is the Heshanggou in front. The guerrilla comrades are most familiar with the terrain in this area, so the guerrillas will be in the front for the next march."

"Let me emphasize that our final stop after attracting the Japanese to fight is this small hilltop! Once we get here, we can turn around and kill them!"

"Comrades, whether we can ensure the safe evacuation of the military headquarters and the people, whether we can achieve greater results and seize more weapons and ammunition, depends on us! All right, let's go!"

After Captain Huang finished speaking, he waved his hand to the west, and Xing Weiguo naturally led the guerrillas to walk in front. However, Captain Huang called Li Yuexuan and the other three to his side.

"You three are our medics, and you are also our grenade launcher team, our fire support unit. So, follow our company!"

Li Yuexuan and the other two once again left the main force of the guerrillas and stayed with Captain Huang. But it didn't matter, as long as they could fight the devils when the time came.

The team set out, stopping and starting along the way, occasionally taking some sharp turns along the mountain road. Li Yuexuan still had memories of yesterday, and it was obvious that this was the road they took yesterday.

When walking, as long as you follow the person in front closely and don't fall behind, it won't matter. So, Li Yuexuan focused on the auxiliary panel.

Well, very good, there is a very small map in front of him, and it is a three-dimensional map with height. Moreover, he can also see their location and direction of movement from the map. Well, it is just a group of small green dots moving slowly.

"This is nothing... Our soldiers already have this technology!" Li Yuexuan was not surprised, because our soldiers do have such combat helmets, which are even more powerful than this auxiliary capability. They can receive orders from superiors in a timely manner and even share perspectives... ahem.

We walked and stopped along the way. We started at 8pm and walked until 12pm. It took us 4 hours to reach an unknown hilltop. Coincidentally, there was a low mulberry forest here, and there was also a ash forest not far away. Of course, there were more jujube trees with some small red jujubes hanging on them.

Although it seems like the walking time is long, the distance they actually cover is only about 8 kilometers to the Dragon King Temple.

In fact, there is no wilderness on the way, because there is an unknown river winding through it, so there is still a village along the way. Of course, the people in the village have been relocated.

The moonlight was bright and it was still early, so the team took a rest in the mulberry forest.

Coming to this forest also full of mulberry trees, Li Yuexuan couldn't help but look up at the bright moon in the sky. He suddenly traveled through time, but he didn't know what happened to his family in the original world. He didn't know if his bedridden father's condition would worsen because of his sudden disappearance, and whether his son, who was poor at studying, could make a comeback... Alas, now that he has come to this world, he doesn't want to think about it anymore.

Fortunately, he had saved some money from running a clinic in his previous life, so at least his family could still make ends meet. "Comrades, eat the dry food you brought and rest for four hours. We will launch the attack before dawn!" Captain Huang gave the order.

Without saying a word, everyone took out the dry food bags they received before leaving, and stuffed the steamed corn bread inside into their stomachs bit by bit with the warm boiled water in the kettle.

Cornmeal steamed bread, with some bean flour and millet flour added, tastes okay. But...it hurts my throat...

Although Li Yuexuan was born in the 80s, he was able to eat enough since he was a child, at least he could eat white flour buns. Therefore, he has never liked this kind of dry food made of mixed grains.

Moreover, in terms of cost-effectiveness, a steamed bun that costs one dollar can fill you up, while a pancake that costs one dollar is just enough to grit your teeth.

Therefore, the steamed corn bread tonight made him deeply feel how difficult it is to eat in this era.

"Military doctor, here, some pickled cabbage, it smells delicious!" Luo Wei came over and gave Li Yuexuan a piece of pickled cabbage.

"Thank you!" Li Yuexuan took the pickled vegetables and found that they were pickled with radish peels and had the aroma of five-spice noodles. He quickly took a bite of the pickled vegetables. Well, with the pickled vegetables, the steamed bread was not so difficult to accept.

"Hey, the dry food tonight is good. We can eat our fill!" The voice of machine gunner Lao Qi was heard in the distance, and then there was no more sound.

After eating, Li Yuexuan lay down in her clothes and took a nap under a mulberry tree. When she opened her eyes again, she was woken up by Xing Weiguo.

"Okay, let's get ready for battle!" Xing Weiguo said, and led his men to the ash forest.

"Comrades, the current situation is this: the small town at the foot of the mountain ahead is where the Japanese are stationed. There are about 500 Japanese soldiers. This information was provided by the people who escaped from the town. Our investigators have also investigated it, and two comrades from the third division were sacrificed for this."

"Our mission is to get close to the town, launch an attack, and then evacuate quickly! Military doctor, you three don't need to follow the action, just follow the company on the mountain to provide support! And the machine gun team, also stay on the mountain to provide fire support! Okay, let's move!"

This hilltop was only about 300 meters away from the town, so it was no problem for Captain Huang to place Li Yuexuan and his men on the hilltop. But what puzzled Li Yuexuan was that the Japanese didn't even arrange a few sentries on the hilltop? How arrogant did they have to be to do that?

The commandos began to move, and everyone followed the path on the mountain and approached the town at the foot of the mountain.

Li Yuexuan looked up at the moon still hanging in the sky. At this moment, he couldn't help but say: On the night of the full moon, on the top of Taihang Mountain...
