Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 411 Chapter 410, Attack, must attack!
As for Li Yunlong, after waiting for half an hour, he saw Zhao Danian gathering the Third Company of the guerrillas. He decisively led the independent regiment headquarters, several platoons directly under the guerrilla headquarters, and the Third Company of the guerrillas, a team of more than 300 people, and hurried down the mountain, walking all the way to Yangquan.

In other words, Li Yunlong divided the independent regiment and the guerrilla team into three forces, which gathered in Yangquan one after another.

At this moment, listening to the rumbling sound coming from afar, Li Yunlong felt as uncomfortable as being scratched by a cat. He wanted to immediately grow wings and fly to the battlefield to fight a bloody battle with the Japanese!
What he didn't know was that at this time, the Japanese troops on the battlefield, which originally numbered about 1000 people, were killed by a small half after three minutes of bombing.

In 3 minutes, 5 mortars, except for Li Yuexuan who fired more than 60 shells, the other mortars only fired more than 30 shells, which is a big difference. However, this is also a full 200 shells fell on the Japanese team. The Japanese still had a small number of intact ones, with a small number of wounded, and it was because of darkness.

At this time, Li Yuexuan called a halt to the shelling, ordered people to relocate the mortar positions, and gave the mortars of the 14th Regiment that they had seized back to the original artillery group.

After completing these, he led the special service team to the location of the 2nd Company and met the nd Company Commander Guo Liandong: "nd Company Commander, how did you get here? Where are the people from the independent regiment?"

"Captain, we ran all the way here, and luckily we caught the start of the blocking battle! Let us take a breath, and we will be able to join the battle soon! The ones who came with us were the 1st and 3rd Battalions of the Independent Regiment. Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao led the troops into the city to fight, and I stayed behind with my men!" Guo Liandong explained.

"Well, rest assured. The Japanese have been bombarded by our artillery for 3 minutes, and they can't organize an attack for a while! Moreover, it's pitch dark, so it's not easy for the Japanese to attack! At least, up to now, our position is still in the dark and has not been discovered by the Japanese. It has always been in the dark!"

"However, our artillery position is here. The focus of the Japanese's next attack should be our Wangmu Ridge position! I hope the 14th Regiment can withstand the pressure." Li Yuexuan said.

"Comrade Youshun, don't worry. No matter how many Japanese invaders come, we will kill them all!" Captain Kong said in a firm tone, leaving no room for doubt. But when he finished speaking, he raised his head and looked in the direction of Yangquan City.

Boom... Amid the flames that shot up into the sky, a dull explosion sounded from the city. According to the principle that sound is slower than the speed of light, this explosion occurred several seconds ago, and the large group of flames was also produced by this explosion.

"I can't tell where the explosion happened, but there are three battalions in the city now, with a combined strength of a regiment. The Japanese can't do anything!" Captain Kong said, turning to look at the fire in the south. "The moon has risen, and it will be easier for the Japanese to attack! But with the contrast of the fire from the Japanese trucks in the south, it will be easier for us to aim! By the way, do you have a searchlight?"

"The train station should have enough searchlights, but there's no time to look for them now!" Li Yuexuan clapped his hands to express his helplessness.

"Okay, you guys take a break for a while and be ready to reinforce the front at any time... What are you doing?" When the moonlight rose, Captain Kong saw that there were soldiers digging trenches.

"It's just a matter of digging a few times with the engineer's shovel. It's another trench, another choice!" Guo Liandong smiled and continued, "Just dig a little and take it as a rest!"

"I have to say, your soldiers' physical fitness is really amazing!" Captain Kong gave a thumbs up, then looked towards the wilderness in the south, waiting for the Japanese attack. At this time, on a small hill in the south, at the temporary command post of the Japanese, Lieutenant Colonel Harada gathered all the officers he could find here and held a temporary pre-war meeting.

"The order we received was to reinforce Yangquan and assist the main force of the Yangquan Brigade to clear out the Eighth Route Army at Lion Head Mountain! But now, we have not arrived yet and have been blocked by the Eighth Route Army. According to the battle losses you have summarized, we have less than 400 soldiers who can still fight, and there are more than 200 wounded who need to be sent back to the rear. I have already sent the troops from Ping'an County to help transport the wounded through the radio."

"Now I want to talk about the next offensive plan! Don't doubt it, we must attack, we must! I just received a telegram forwarded by the military. The brigade commander sent his final farewell telegram to the military five minutes ago. The content only has two words - fight!"

"Receiving this telegram means that our brigade headquarters has been occupied by the Eighth Route Army! And our brigade commander also committed suicide by seppuku to wash away the shame of the defeat in the battle! And we must use the most resolute attitude and launch the most resolute attack. We must not let the brigade commander's blood be shed in vain!" After Harada finished speaking, he directly appointed the three surviving squadron leaders and five team leaders and assigned their respective tasks.

In the darkness, the Japanese reorganized their troops and, under the light of the moon and fire, launched an attack on the Wangmu Ridge position little by little.

The attack, of course, was not a grand one. In the middle of the night, we had to take advantage of the darkness and get as close as possible. It was best to launch a surprise attack, which was the correct way. Unless, we didn't want to fight!
The Japs had to fight, so they attacked with a resolute attitude, slowly and gradually approaching the position at Wangmu Ridge, trying to shorten the distance of the attack as much as possible.

On Wangmu Ridge, Li Yuexuan closed his eyes slightly. Dense red dots appeared on the small map and moved slowly. He knew that the Japanese had arrived.

He opened his eyes. Although the moonlight had appeared and the fire in the distance was bright, he could not see any Japanese soldiers. Li Yuexuan was confident that his eyes had been strengthened by time travel. In this era, he was one of the few people with excellent vision. However, he did not see any Japanese soldiers, which showed that the Japanese soldiers' ability to conceal their march was still very good.

In the darkness, the Japs tried to keep their bodies low as much as possible. Some of them took advantage of the bomb craters illuminated by the moonlight, jumped in and rolled out one by one. While their bodies were covered with mud and dust, they did avoid the surveillance of the Eighth Route Army.

"Everyone, pay attention. The Japanese are here. Be alert! By the way, Tianchuan, have you set up a minefield at the front of the position?" Li Yuexuan said.

"Captain, they were afraid that we might hurt our own people in counterattack, so they set up a trip mine for a more serious warning purpose." Tianchuan replied.

"Then go to the front and tell the comrades that the devils are coming, be ready to fight at any time! This time, the artillery brought by the devils was blown up by us in advance, and the advantage is on our side!"
