Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 480 479,
Veterans all know that when fighting, the situation is completely different if there is artillery reinforcement or not! If there is, then you can fight the devils back and forth; if there is no artillery reinforcement, then you can only fight with your life!
So the soldiers were very excited because we had artillery reinforcements, and there was no shortage of artillery shells, and we could even make them at any time... This was amazing!
"Don't worry! The stone walls of the fortifications you are in are so thick that the Type 92 infantry guns of the Japanese can only scratch them! As for the mountain guns, they can't penetrate them! Unless the Japanese can fire six consecutive shells at one point, it is possible to penetrate the stones of your bunkers! But is it possible? I have never seen such a gunner!"

"Even if there are gunners like this, we are not afraid. If we really want to do this, we must bring the muzzle of the gun very close to make it possible! Then, the artillery comrades will give them a good show!"

"Okay, comrades, we have enough food and spring water. We can make as many bullets as we need, and we have enough shells in stock to destroy the gun barrels. Even if the gun barrels are destroyed, we are not afraid, because we can produce new mortars at any time! Comrades, this is the advantage of fighting with the arsenal behind us. We never have to worry about logistics not keeping up!"

"Moreover, our weapons are much more advanced than those of the Japs. We can even defeat the Japs' most relied-upon mountain artillery! So, comrades, arrange the minefields, and then we can sit in the bunkers and wait for the Japs to come and die! But there is one thing we must make clear. When the fight really starts, don't kill all the Japs at once!"

"Why? I'm worried that we're fighting too hard. Once the Japanese see that the situation is not right, they'll turn around and run away, and we won't be able to catch up with them!" Li Yuexuan spread his hands and made a helpless gesture while speaking.

"Hahaha..." The soldiers laughed cooperatively.

"So, when fighting, especially the new recruits, you must listen carefully to the squad leader and veterans around you and follow their orders! This time, we must prepare the bait for fishing, attract the devils to us, hook them, and make them unable to leave even if they want to!"

"Fuck, where is this place? This is Taihang Mountain, our base, our most important military industrial base! I, Peregrine Falcon, am in charge here. Can the Japanese come and go as they please? No way! Comrades, after this battle, I will leave an impression in the minds of the Japanese that if they dare to attack my arsenal, they must be prepared to be killed!"

"Isn't it just over 5000 devils? There are also several thousand devils who died in my hands. This time I planned to add one more point to my resume, but the commander refused to let me fight on the front line. Therefore, these 5000 devils will be handed over to the comrades to eliminate! Work hard and try to keep all these devils in Taihang Mountains!"

After Li Yuexuan finished speaking, he took the comrades of the special service team back to the north of Yixiantian to make preparations before the war. At this time, the chefs of the arsenal canteen pushed the carts and creaked to the construction site.

"Comrades..." Officer Niu, who was in charge of leading the team, shouted loudly, "In order to ensure victory in the battle and to give the comrades strength to kill the enemy, our logistics department specially killed two pigs, cut an acre of leeks, and prepared leek meat buns for everyone! Come on, comrades, eat quickly, and then you can fight the enemy after you are full!"

The food treatment of the arsenal was immediately improved. Minister Zhang said that we opened up the supply. Winning this battle is more important than anything else! As for whether there is enough food? Let's put it this way. Minister Zhang, who likes to store food, has stored enough food for everyone to eat for a year in the arsenal, just in case the situation today occurs!

Time passed slowly as everyone was preparing. There was no one in the south of the narrow sky, which was originally bustling. The breeze blew through the narrow sky, whimpering and swirling on the flat ground in front of the mountain, bringing up some dust and blowing some leaves, completely covering the traces of buried mines. The arsenal was ready, but the Japanese soldiers of the 36th Division encountered mines on the way forward and had to stop their rapid progress and let the engineers clear the mines before continuing to move forward.

On the mountain road, the Japanese engineers held a long mine detector and swept it back and forth on the mountain road, listening to the signal of the magnetic circle from the earphone to determine the location of the mine. However, no matter how advanced the mine detector was, it could not withstand the various methods of burying mines learned by the militia. Although the location of some mines was detected, many engineers still had their legs broken by the explosion and wailed on the ground.

"General, the report sent by the 36th Search Brigade claims that they encountered mines laid in advance by the Eighth Route Army starting from 10 kilometers north of Licheng. Up to this point, they have lost the lives of 49 soldiers and have 134 wounded who need to be cared for. They requested that some other means be taken to advance?" Major General Yamanouchi, who was stationed in Licheng, heard the report.

"Baga... Tell Colonel Kuzuki of the 222nd Regiment not to worry about these losses. Their goal is to attack the arsenal of the Eighth Route Army as quickly as possible!" Yamanouchi frowned when he said this, and then asked the commander of the 36th Engineer Regiment beside him: "Has the wooden bridge for crossing the river been repaired?"

"Report to General, the road will be open before this evening! Our mountain artillery, trucks, armored vehicles, and tanks will be able to pass smoothly tonight!" said Captain Ono of the Engineering Regiment.

"That's it, tell Ge Mu to have their main force temporarily stop attacking and set up a campsite. Tomorrow morning, an armored vehicle squadron will assist them in the battle. Tell him to be careful when he is stationed. The Eighth Route Army likes to launch surprise attacks at night. Don't let them launch a sneak attack." Yamanouchi finally gave the order to stop, because he planned to transfer the rear artillery and armored vehicles.

The Japanese really spent a lot of money on this attack! Not only did they send out their main forces, but they also sent out the 9nd Regiment, which had made great contributions in the battle to encircle the 98th Army in September. Not only that, the only armored and tank squadron in the entire division was also transferred here.

Last year, Captain Yamazaki suffered a bloody defeat at the Line of Sky, but he also knew that the Line of Sky was a place that was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Therefore, he mentioned this matter in his telegram to the military. Obviously, this armored vehicle squadron was prepared to achieve a breakthrough at the Line of Sky.

The order was transmitted to the 222nd Regiment in front through radio waves, and the Japanese finally stopped advancing, which made many Japanese relieved. From the day before yesterday when they received the order to assemble to today when they launched the assault, these Japanese were in a tense state. Now, they can finally relax a little.
