Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 523 Chapter 522, I'm Already Here
The Japs were coming. Although they were still 10 miles away, they still could not escape the observation of the artillery telescope.

So, after a burst of rapid phone rings, the soldiers from the three regiments learned the news and prepared for battle.

"Snore, snore..." In a combat pit sheltered from the wind, veteran Xu Sanpao was snoring in a deep sleep, but was pushed awake by a new recruit.

"Veteran, veteran comrade, the Japanese are coming, and the company commander has asked all combat positions to be notified!" New recruit Chen Xiang spoke in a nervous voice, fearing that this bad-tempered old man would lose his temper.

"Huh? The Japanese are coming? Where are they? What did the signalman say?" Xu Sanpao rubbed his eyes and asked.

"It is said that the troops have gathered at the fork in the road in the west. There are 600 Japanese devils and 500 puppet troops!" Chen Xiang said simply.

"Well, it's still at the fork in the road... It's still 10 miles away, right? The Japanese can get here in an hour! It's just right, you're tired too, take a nap here, I'll call you when the battle starts!"

"No, veteran, how can we do this? I won't sleep!" Chen Xiang said, shaking his head.

"You have been following me since you were assigned to the company, and have been my ammunition carrier. Why don't you listen to me? I know much more about war than you do. Don't worry, take a nap, it's okay!"

After Xu Sanpao finished speaking, he pulled Xiao Chen over, put him on the dog-skin mat he slept on, and put the military coat he had just seized on him.

Xu Sanpao was a machine gunner. The weapon in his hand was a newly issued Qi Lali light machine gun. Now that he was in high spirits, he opened the machine gun, took out a relatively clean loincloth, and wiped the bolt.

He moved quickly, and in just a few minutes, he cleaned the light machine gun and checked all the magazines. About half an hour later, he shook Chen Xiang awake to let him sober up.

Although I only slept for half an hour, for someone who hadn't had a good rest for several days, this little rest time was extremely precious. Of course, this was not the point. The point was that after half an hour's march, the Japanese troops were already 3 kilometers away from the Huting stronghold.

But when they arrived here, the Japanese troops stopped and had no intention of moving forward.

"Mr. Mikawa, do you feel anything is wrong?" A captain asked another captain in the Japanese army.

"Mr. Yamamoto, something is wrong! We came here to provide reinforcements, but when we got here, there was no sound of gunfire. This is very wrong!" said Captain Mikawa.

"Could it be that something unexpected happened at the Huting stronghold? Then should we continue our reinforcement operation?" Yamamoto asked.

"Yamamoto, our order is to reinforce. Since it is reinforcement, we must go to the place of reinforcement to take a look before making the next decision! Moreover, the Huting stronghold is a large stronghold, and the Eighth Route Army will not be able to take it down in a short time! Of course, in order to prevent accidents, I think we can march forward another two kilometers and then send a small force to check the situation!"

"Yo, I think so too!"

The silence on the battlefield made the two devils cautious and made a very careful decision. Of course, what the devils themselves did not notice was that their actions and thoughts had changed from the initial arrogance during the war of aggression against China to the current cautiousness. The devils finally took action again, which made the observation post on the roof of the building feel relieved. The devils are not afraid of coming slowly, but they are afraid that they will not come! As long as they come, we can keep them all!

Under the intense observation of the sentinels, the Japanese marched forward for two kilometers and then stopped! Then, a small group of Japanese soldiers, with more than 100 puppet soldiers, continued to advance towards the stronghold.

"Captain, the situation of the Japanese is not right." On the third floor of the artillery tower, the third company commander asked Li Yunlong: "The Japanese are too cautious, aren't they? Will our plan be difficult to implement soon?"

"Boy, observe carefully the relationship between the Japanese's position and the 14th and 769th Regiments!" Li Yunlong pointed out.

"The Japanese position is almost at the same distance as the western side of the two regiments' positions! But is there any significance to this?" asked the third company commander.

"Well, next, it depends on how the Japs move! If the Japs continue to move forward, the two regiment commanders will let them over and then outflank them! If the Japs remain motionless, the two regiments will not move either! If the Japs retreat, it will be a pursuit war! However, Old Li has to help out!" As he spoke, Li Yunlong glanced at the artillery observer of the 385th Brigade and pulled him over.

"You, calculate the distance for me now. Your target is the Japanese soldiers standing still. Calculate the trajectory for your heavy artillery! Once you're done, call your company commander!"

"Commander, are you planning to use heavy mortars to bomb those Japs?" The third company commander asked the question on behalf of the artillery observer.

"Yeah, I think, since the Japs are here, we shouldn't go back! You see, the Japs and puppet troops are all concentrated on the road. If this shell goes down, it will kill at least dozens of them, if not a hundred! Tell me, is there anything more exciting than killing so many Japs with one shell? So, boy..." Li Yunlong patted the artillery observer: "How many Japs can your heavy mortar company kill? It's up to you!"

After listening to Li Yunlong's explanation, the artillery observer, who was originally a little unhappy, immediately became excited. He knew too well the power of heavy mortar shells. If he could really do this, then his life would be worth it!

While the artillery observer was calculating, the Japanese squad, along with a company of puppet soldiers, had trotted over 800 meters and were only 200 meters away from the position west of the artillery tower. At this point, the Japanese finally realized that the position in front of them had changed from before, and the plaster flag on the artillery tower was gone...

"Stop, stop..." The officer leading the Japanese team shouted to stop urgently.

"Fight, fight hard!" On the battlefield, Zhang Dabiao gave the order to fight.

Boom boom boom... Da da da... Light machine guns and heavy machine guns fired at the same time, grenade launchers and grenades were launched into the air, and semi-automatic guns suddenly killed people... The battles of the independent regiment were so heroic.

"Haha, it looks like the Japs have discovered something! What a pity that we can't wipe out all of them! Third Battalion Commander, lead the Third Battalion to move westward and wipe out all of these Japs!"

"Second Battalion Commander, your battalion is the fastest. Move westward and cut off the enemy's route to the west! Everyone else, attack them, and attack them hard!"

Just as the two main regiment commanders were giving loud orders, intending to surround the Japanese soldiers who were stranded behind, the sound of firing was rang out from the position of the heavy mortar company on the side of the Huting stronghold.
