Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 484 Chapter 483, Transfer Over

It has to be said that the Japs' plan was successful. They successfully attracted the attention of the headquarters and the troops below.

As the news of the burning of villages and forts came in, and as blood feuds were exposed one by one, the soldiers were excited, and the commanders were also suppressing their anger, wishing to fight the devils to the death immediately! If you have the guts, come at us, what's the big deal about attacking the civilians?
However, just when everyone focused their attention on the 36th Division in the south, a logistics convoy quietly drove to the county seat of Liao County. Then, some Japanese soldiers in special uniforms took advantage of the night to disappear into the mountains in the east. That's right, Yamamoto's special forces appeared and then disappeared, and even the Japanese soldiers guarding the city didn't know that such a team had come.

"Our mission is to actively attack the Japanese troops and attract them from the south! For two days, the Japanese have been killing our people and burning our villages. This is uprooting the foundation of our survival! We are all children of the people, and we must not watch the people continue to be harmed!"

"So, I asked the division commander for help and decided to take the soldiers of our regiment to attack the Japanese and attract them from the south! For this decision, the chief of staff defending the arsenal decided to leave a passage for us so that we can attract all the Japanese to the arsenal to fight!"

"Comrades, everyone knows how important the Arsenal is to us! But for the sake of the people, we can only start this battle in the Arsenal in advance! Therefore, we must complete this mission and try to attract all the devils over! Then, we will fight the devils to the death in the Arsenal!"

Nanweiquan, the 2nd Core Regiment of the Third Division, with a total of more than 700 soldiers, led by the regiment commander, headed all the way south and launched an active attack on the Japanese.

At this time, the Japanese were not far from the fork in the road east of Nanweiquan. The soldiers of the Second Core Regiment rushed out of the fork in the road directly and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese's front-line positions under the cover of two mortars.

Chirp, chirp, chirp... Boom, boom, boom... Mortars and grenade launchers, large and small shells exploded on the frontline positions of the Japanese, causing a devastating blow to the temporary frontline positions of the Japanese. More than a hundred Japanese soldiers guarding here were almost completely wiped out on the position in the subsequent fierce attack.

By the time the main position behind the Japanese reacted and sent out several squadrons of Japanese soldiers to pursue, the soldiers of the 2nd Regiment had already retreated under the command of the regiment commander.

"Order, the search team's cavalry squadron to pursue, but not too close, just keep in contact! Order the rest of the troops to gather back immediately, we will chase these Eighth Route Army directly northward!" Licheng, upon receiving the news, Major General Yamanouchi made arrangements promptly.

Although the search team at the frontline was ambushed and lost nearly 100 people, the Eighth Route Army dispatched a large battalion of troops, which also exposed their position. Then, as long as they followed behind these Eighth Route Army troops, they could easily find the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that the Eighth Route Army came to attack and then retreated, so there would be no mines along the way.

Without the mines, the mountain road would be much easier to walk! Then, we just need to rush to the Eighth Route Army's arsenal and capture it, and that would be victory! As for cooperating with Yamamoto's special forces? They had already set out last night, so within three days, there would definitely be results, which would coincide with the battle time of the arsenal.

Attacking the Arsenal, isn't this a good combination? According to the photos taken by the reconnaissance plane, the Arsenal is quite large, with several large factories and smelting furnaces, all of which must be destroyed!

As time went on, the basic regiment that had ambushed the Japanese invaders ran forward under the leadership of the regiment leader, trying to lure the Japanese invaders to the direction of the thin line of sky. Because they had to ensure the safety of their own people, there were no mines along the way, and they rushed to the thin line of sky smoothly and entered the range of the arsenal. The Japanese pursuit team chasing behind them also stopped on the hill south of the thin line of sky, and finally the soldiers stayed here.

The Japanese plan was successful. It successfully attracted the attention of the Eighth Route Army and made them take the initiative to remove the mines along the way.

What about the Eighth Route Army? They successfully attracted the main force of the Japanese to Xijing Town, and made the Japanese soldiers reach the southern entrance of Yixiantian, and no longer harm the people... This can be considered a success!

In Matan, the headquarters, Political Commissar Zhao Gang led the three battalions of the independent regiment to build three solid positions around the headquarters, always on guard against the enemy's surprise attack. Although there were many teams guarding around, and even knew that the enemy's main force was attacking the arsenal, Political Commissar Zhao did not relax his vigilance at all.

Tianchuan has been here for three days. Several combat squads of special forces members, led by veterans and new members, have already explored all the terrain in the surrounding mountains.

"This is a cliff. Don't underestimate this cliff. We can climb up with our bare hands! So, it won't work if you just deploy a battalion of troops here!" Tianchuan spoke bluntly.

"Then what do you say we should do? My Second Battalion has to guard the Qingzhang River in the north, and also guard this hilltop. The manpower we can mobilize is already the limit!" Shen Quan had just been scolded, and he was angry and spoke in a bad tone.

"It's very simple. Move your guard position forward and set up a guard position on the edge of the cliff. Arrange a few soldiers to guard here. And your main position will be built 200 meters back! What's the key? All the tree roots and large rocks on the edge of the cliff must be cut down and thrown down! In this way, there will be few places to leverage, which increases the difficulty of climbing!"

"As for this line on the edge of the cliff, let the comrades put all the rubble they can collect here and pile them up. Have you heard of rolling logs and stones? Whoever comes up from here will be smashed to death!" said Tianchuan.

"I understand everything else, but why do we have to pull the main position back? Isn't 200 meters a bit far?" Shen Quan asked.

"Hmph, do you know what a submachine gun is? Forget about submachine guns. Let's say someone is fighting you with a box gun over the cliff. Can you withstand it with your broken guns? But if the distance is increased and exceeds the effective range of the box gun, it will be different! In addition, these directional mines are for you! Place them more than 50 meters in front of the position, and put the fuse for detonation inside the position."

"Haha, you should have told me earlier that there was a directional mine! Don't worry, we'll do as you said! Comrades, retreat to the top of that hill, and then send all the rocks along the way to the edge of the cliff! Who knows how to fiddle with the information of the mechanism? Put a wooden stake on the edge of the cliff to block the rocks, and then pull the stake, and all the rocks will roll down the cliff..."
