Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 46 Chapter 046, I can’t eat anymore
At this time, in a hidden place on the mountain south of Heshanggou, Zhang Dabiao quietly stuck his head out, looked at the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain, then shrank back and frowned.

"Battalion commander, I didn't expect that we would actually lure the Japanese here!" The company commander's surname is Si and his given name is Si Yong, but everyone likes to call him scholar.

"Scholar, our captain's plan has not gone wrong. When the fighting starts, fight hard! Whether our battalion can replace its equipment depends on today!" said Zhang Dabiao.

"Don't worry, Battalion Commander. All the comrades in my company will make sure you give me a great fight!" Si Yong said, and subconsciously raised his right hand to that incredibly handsome face, and ran his index finger knuckles from the left chin to the right.

"That's good. Let's see how you perform today!" After saying this, Zhang Dabiao continued to observe the Japanese's marching status to decide the time to launch the attack.

On the opposite hill, the commander of the supplementary battalion, Niu Youtian, was also quietly observing the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain. This ambush was divided into two battlefields, and his four companies of the supplementary battalion were also divided into two waves. He personally led the 4th and 10th companies to ambush here.

The task of the supplementary battalion is to find an opportunity to rush into the battlefield after the ambush is launched, and use the red tassel spears to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese. Such a battle will cause great losses to the new recruits, but it is also the best way to make up for the gap in weapons and equipment between the new recruits and the Japanese. And the timing of this sudden entry into the battlefield depends on how he, Lao Niu, grasps it.

"Guo Shaokang, Li Guohao, is your assault team ready?" Niu Youtian turned around and asked the two company commanders beside him.

"Don't worry, Captain. We have gathered together those who have practiced martial arts and are brave in the company, and distributed grenades to them to ensure that they will not suffer any losses in the first wave of attack!"

"Don't worry, Captain. We will lead the charge ourselves! Hehe, my sword is being sharpened very quickly, and I am just waiting to use the enemy's blood to sacrifice it!"

The two company commanders were already prepared for battle, so Niu Youtian felt a little relieved and continued to observe the Japanese troops.

Even though both sides sounded very encouraging, both Zhang Dabiao and Niu Youtian felt a little nervous in their hearts.

Why? Because according to the expected plan, the Japanese they ambushed shouldn't have so many people! According to the plan, a commando of more than 40 people went to provoke the Japanese, and the Japanese at most sent one or two squadrons to chase the commando. But now, the Japanese actually sent out all their members, more than 5 people came directly!

The point is, to deal with these 500 people, the troops they prepared were really a little too few! The two companies together had more than 350 people, and the other side had a similar number of troops, with a total force of only more than 200 more than the devils.

The Japs' fighting power is very strong. If their troop strength does not exceed three times theirs, even an ambush will be very dangerous!
"Huff, huff..." The heavy breathing sounds, accompanied by heavy footsteps, echoed each other in Heshang Valley at the foot of the mountain.

A trickle of water flows slowly on the side of the mountain road, as if it is unaware that in the coming time, it will be dissolved into many impurities.

On the east side of Heshanggou, the commando team led by the third company commander finally ran to the big rock that served as a landmark. However, at this time, because the sudden acceleration disrupted their breathing rhythm, the soldiers of the commando team were all panting, with beads of sweat dripping down their faces, and none of them had the strength to speak.

"Okay...all of them...turn around and shoot..." Captain Huang took a few deep breaths before he finished his words.

"Fight... fight..." The instructor was also gasping for breath. After saying the word "fight" twice, he could no longer utter any words to boost morale.

"Beat him..." Machine gunner Lao Qi shouted in his hometown dialect, which actually lifted everyone's spirits. It seems that cursing is more effective at a critical moment. The guerrillas stopped, turned around, and pulled the bolt to load the bullet, which took only more than half a minute. This also included the time for everyone to disperse and find shelter.

During this period of time, the Japanese soldiers who were chasing them were still chasing forward, and naturally saw the actions of the Eighth Route Army.

"Yo, everyone stop advancing and prepare to attack..." Inukai Yasuo was still riding on his horse, using a telescope to look at the low hill in the east, watching the Eighth Route Army preparing for battle there.

"Haha, you've been running for so long and your breathing is unstable, and you still want to fight? I think the Eighth Route Army is no more than this!" Adjutant Tanaka said on the side.

"Okay, soldiers, attack, let our enemies see how powerful we are! Yoshino, lead your squadron, attack!" After looking at the teams around him, Inukai designated the main attacking team. Then he turned around and saw the Japanese soldiers in the heavy machine gun squadron approaching with heavy machine guns, and a smile appeared on his face.

However, at this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out on the mountain to their south.

Bang...The sound of Hanyang-made gunfire rang out, vibrating back and forth on the ridges on both sides of Heshanggou.

"Nani?" Inukai shouted alertly, but his body made a move to roll off the horse and landed naturally on the left side of the warhorse, allowing the warhorse to shield him from possible attacks from the right.

His action actually saved him this time. Just as he stood still, a bullet flew from the mountain and took away his military cap. Judging from the height, if he was still on the horse, he would definitely be dead. Just as he turned over and dismounted, there was a burst of gunfire on the mountain to the south. Various gunshots mixed together, and the valley was full of the whizzing sound of bullets.

"Ah ah..." From time to time, some Japanese soldiers were shot and fell to the ground, and there were wounded soldiers wailing over there.

"Baga... we've fallen into a trap!" Adjutant Tanaka, who was also hiding on the side of the warhorse, shouted loudly: "Captain, please give me some tactical guidance?"

"Listen carefully, the Eighth Route Army has no more troops than us, and it seems that they don't have heavy weapons! However, send a telegram to the brigade headquarters and inform them of the situation here! Yoshino, give up attacking the east and counterattack to the south!" Inukai also shouted loudly.

"Fight back..." While they were talking, some Japanese officers had already organized the counterattack themselves.

This resulted in the Japanese having the firepower to retaliate half a minute after the gunfire was heard in the south.

Bang... Bang... Bang... On the mountain, the two companies of the first battalion, after achieving the first few dozen results, deeply felt the tenacity and eliteness of the Japanese. The Japanese fought back like this, and there were some signs of being suppressed. Especially the Japanese heavy machine gun team that was not afraid of death, actually braved the hail of bullets, set up the Type 92 heavy machine gun on the spot, and began fire suppression.

"Battalion Commander, should we charge down?" Seeing that the first battalion was suppressed as soon as they met, the two company commanders of the supplementary battalion asked anxiously.
