Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 400 Chapter 399, so cruel!
The weather changes every ten miles. When they arrived at Wangmu Ridge, Li Yuexuan and the others noticed that the ground under their feet was slippery. They also realized that there was a heavy rain here last night.

And at Yanhui Station, 40 miles away, it was a sunny day with moonlight last night... Of course, this is not unusual. Sometimes the road is half covered with rain and the other half is dry and crispy. It is normal.

The sky had already cleared up, the sun was shining brightly, the ground was steaming, and people were sweating all over. On a small hill in the southwest of Lion's Head Mountain, Brigade Commander Chen of the 385th Brigade was leading the brigade staff to check the main position of Lion's Head Mountain. In fact, his brigade headquarters was right in front of Lion's Head Mountain, and he was accompanied by a company of the 769th Regiment as a guard, and three battalion commanders followed him.

Lion's Head Mountain is a mine with a mine shaft underneath. However, the operation last night destroyed the mine, freed some miners, and even used some captured mining tools to dig fortifications. In the battle early this morning, the Japanese were beaten back by mortars and machine guns, and then they started over again. The battles have been continuing.

Brigade Commander Chen also saw this and understood that the Japanese troops in Yangquan City were not that many at this time. There was only one artillery battalion stationed in the city with strong heavy firepower. This was experienced in the battle this morning. The Japanese had more than a dozen mountain artillery bombarding, which was really overwhelming and very shocking.

Of course, Brigade Commander Chen was not afraid of this, nor were the soldiers of the 14th Regiment in the front. The battalion commanders around him also expressed their determination to complete the tasks assigned by their superiors. The task given by the superiors was to stay here for 5 to 6 days to cover the attack in the west. You know, this is the situation of fighting in front of Yangquan, even riding on the heads of the devils and pinching their necks.

Everyone expected that the Japanese would launch a crazy counterattack! In fact, everyone was mentally prepared to deal with bombers and poison gas bombs at any time.

As time went on, after inspecting the positions, Commander Chen and his men came to a high ground near Xiyuzhang Village on the south side of Lion's Head Mountain. They found that the location here was very important, the terrain was relatively flat, easy to attack but difficult to defend, and it was a weak point, an excellent route for a roundabout attack on Lion's Head Mountain. Commander Chen analyzed that the enemy might attack Lion's Head Mountain from here after being hit, which was also a common trick used by the Japanese army since the war began.

There is a saying that goes "what you think is what you get." Just when he made the decision to send a battalion from the 769th Regiment to garrison here, he discovered that about enemy troops were sneaking up along the river path.

The location of the small river channel is very hidden. If Brigade Commander Chen and his men had not happened to be on the small hill, it would have been possible for these 150-plus Japanese soldiers to sneak up!
Brigade Commander Chen had no doubt about the combat effectiveness of the Japanese. He had fought countless battles with the Japanese. He led the 769th Regiment to attack Yangmingbao Airport at night! Although the Japanese only had 150 people, which was nothing compared to the strength of the two main regiments around him, once they were attacked by the Japanese, cut into the positions of the two regiments, and even touched the command post, the consequences would be disastrous.

Of course, the current situation is not good. He, the brigade commander, and the officers above the battalion level of the 769th Regiment, just ran into the Japanese head-on. The key is that he only has a company of troops around him, which is not easy to fight!
It is not easy to fight, but we have to fight, and we must fight with the strongest attitude and crush this group of Japs to death in the riverbed area.

So, when the horn sounded, the battalion and regiment cadres of the 769th Regiment raised their weapons and took the initiative to attack the devils. Fortunately, there was a 2nd Company nearby, and the commander of the first battalion gave a death order to the commander of the 2nd Company: At all costs, resolutely resist the enemy, and our reinforcements will arrive soon! That's right, when the horn sounded, the reinforcements of the two battalions were just a few hundred meters away, and it was easy to arrive.

This is how it is. The opportunity to fight is fleeting. A distance of a few hundred meters can sometimes mean the difference between life and death. Fortunately, the 2nd Company is not weak in combat effectiveness. The 2nd Company Commander is even ready to jump out for hand-to-hand combat! Yes, hand-to-hand combat, although there will be a lot of casualties, can delay the enemy as much as possible and give the main force a chance. Just at this moment, when the 2nd Company Commander Wang Benzhi was about to jump out, different gunshots sounded from behind the devils, and there was even the sound of grenade launchers whistling in the air.

"Stop, there's a new situation!" The commander of the second company stopped the soldiers who were determined to give it a try, and continued to lie on the hillside with his guns raised.

Then, Captain Wang and the soldiers of the 2nd Company, and even Brigade Commander Chen, saw a scene that they would never forget in their lives - about 40 soldiers in gray military uniforms, holding semi-automatic and assault rifles, suddenly rushed out from behind the Japanese. Among them, three soldiers carried long pipes on their shoulders and shot long fire snakes towards the Japanese.

Boom boom boom... The grenade from the grenade launcher exploded, and the long fire snake also exploded in the middle of the Japanese soldiers, with countless fragments scattered and knocking down countless Japanese soldiers. Then, these soldiers walked and fired, and almost every shot killed a Japanese soldier. When these soldiers rushed to the Japanese soldiers, the Japanese soldiers were dead and wounded all over the ground!

What these people did next was even more jaw-dropping! The platoon leader-like soldier who led the group raised his hand and made a tactical move, and some soldiers dispersed to guard the entire battlefield.

That's not all, some soldiers broke away from the team and approached the Japanese. These soldiers cooperated with each other, one soldier aimed his gun at the Japanese on the ground, while another soldier threw the three-edged bayonet on the gun and stabbed the fallen Japanese one by one.

Puff, puff... sizzle... Although no one could hear such a sound at a distance of one or two hundred meters, everyone's mind automatically filled in the sound. There was no way, who hadn't fought with the devils with bayonets? The sound of the bayonet penetrating the human body and the blood spurting out was something I would never forget in my life!
"Commander, this is our team, right?" At this time, the reinforcements had already arrived, but they had no chance to open fire and could only watch. Director Lu of the brigade headquarters asked Commander Chen in a low voice.

"Look at the uniforms, they are our troops! But the weapons are all semi-automatic rifles. Which regiment's elite troops are these? These are not from our brigade. Could they be from the 386th Brigade?" Brigade Commander Chen wondered.

"Hiss, so cruel, they don't even leave a single person alive! Although the Japanese haven't surrendered, it would be great if we could capture a prisoner! At least, we can ask about the situation, right?" someone muttered.

It seemed that they had a tacit understanding with this person's idea. The group at the foot of the mountain had just completed all the finishing blows, but in the end they actually changed their strategy. Before, the others were on guard for the entire scene, and the soldiers who cooperated with each other held a gun to the head of the enemy, while the other soldier shot the enemy in the left and right chests.
