Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 53 Chapter 053, Japanese reinforcements
Heshanggou goes northwest for more than 200 meters and then turns southwest for about 80 meters. Then, this turn turns to the west. After more than 100 meters, there is another sharp turn, and the direction becomes close to due south and due north, but slightly southeast. This distance is also more than 80 meters, and then it turns to southeast, northwest and northwest again...

After more than 400 meters of mountain road, there is another U-turn, and the angle at this time becomes a U-turn from northwest to southeast. After more than 100 meters, there is another sharp bend...

Well, this place with a series of sharp turns is actually a very good ambush location, but in the end everyone chose to ambush at Heshanggou.

The reason why I want to describe this sawtooth-like terrain in detail is to say that Comrade Si Yong, at this time, led more than 1 soldiers from the 30st Company to keep alert on the ridge on the westernmost side of the sawtooth. This place is more than 700 meters away from the corner of Heshanggou, which is a good position to guard the west.

As for the more than 30 Japanese soldiers who escaped? They were already wiped out at the first sharp bend! Well, at this time, Si Yong and his men had two guns in their hands, one was the newly captured Type rifle, and the other was the weapon they brought with them. Moreover, they also had two light machine guns, one of which was the newly captured Type rifle.

Of course, all of the above are not the key points. The key point is that a group of Japanese soldiers appeared marching on the mountain road more than 300 meters southeast of Si Yong and his team.

Because of the obstruction of the mountain road, Si Yong and his team had no way to determine the exact number of Japanese soldiers, but the scout who came back from 200 meters ahead told Si Yong that the number of Japanese soldiers was over 500, most of whom were staying in the village in the south, which was also a large group. This was a bit difficult! Therefore, Si Yong immediately asked the soldiers to go back and report to the battalion commander to prepare for the enemy.

"So, we just wiped out a battalion of Japanese invaders, and now they're sending another battalion to our doorstep?" Zhang Dabiao frowned when he received a report from a company of soldiers.

Now, the equipment of the 13st Battalion has been replaced, and the supplementary battalion has also replaced the equipment of the 5st Battalion, and even seized 70 Type 1 heavy machine guns... However, their st Battalion and the supplementary battalion just had a big battle, and lost more than combat forces, and most of them were combat forces of the st Battalion. In this way, the combat effectiveness is not strengthened.

The key is that if we fight again, we no longer have the advantage of an ambush, and the Japanese are well prepared, so it will be really difficult to defeat them.

Calculating the time, more than two hours had passed since the ambush began, and it was already past 10:1 in the morning. The signalman of the first company came all the way to report, and the Japanese should have been fighting with the first company at this time, right? Zhang Dabiao listened carefully, but did not hear any gunfire, which was a bit strange.

At this time, the Japanese were still about 300 meters away from Si Yong and his men, and did not move forward.

"Baga... We have to keep going on such a difficult mountain road. Is the brigade commander crazy? Even if we find the main force of the Eighth Route Army, can't we defeat that guy Inukai?" In the village south of the Japanese team, Captain Suzuki was getting very angry.

This time, the raid had been going on for several days, and the supplies they brought were almost consumed. Then, the guards at the Brigade Headquarters, waiting for new supplies to be delivered, received the task of reinforcing the Inukai Brigade early this morning, and the request was still a forced march.

So, they followed the command of the brigade and marched continuously for more than three hours, and they were already very tired. So he sent a squadron as the vanguard, and the main force took a break here. At least, they had to eat something to replenish their physical strength! People could hold on, but the draft horses that had been dragging mountain artillery and infantry artillery all the way needed to rest.

"Battalion Commander, what should we do? Should we follow the order of the regiment commander and leave one company behind, and then gather the main force towards the Dragon King Temple, or should we deal with the Japanese reinforcements in the west?"

"Yes, Battalion Commander, we have to do something, right?" Seeing the anxious eyes of the two company commanders, Zhang Dabiao and Niu Youtian exchanged a glance and said, "Let's go and bury our fallen comrades first! As for these devils..." Zhang Dabiao pointed at the white and red devil corpses all over the valley and said, "Just let them attract flies here!"

"Signage soldier, has the captured radio been repaired? Can we contact the regiment headquarters?" Zhang Dabiao continued to shout.

"Battalion commander, this... I can only use it, but I can't repair it..." The signalman was also embarrassed. After all, the radio was a high-tech thing to them, and they really couldn't repair it.

"Forget it. Take the radio and go directly to the regiment headquarters. Tell the commander that the Japanese have sent a battalion of reinforcements from the west to Zaoyuanzi. I will lead the main force of the first battalion to supplement the main force of the battalion and stop this group of Japanese! Go and tell the commander that my first battalion will not let any Japanese come over even if we fight to the last man!"

After Zhang Dabiao finished speaking, he signaled the signalman to report quickly, and then said to Niu Youtian: "Lao Niu, these are the things that were taken from the devils. We can't take them with us to the battle. I suggest that you arrange some people to send these things, along with our wounded, to the regiment headquarters!"

"Then send them back! Let's send the unlucky ones with injured feet back as well. It will be difficult for them to fight guerrilla warfare with us!" said Niu Youtian.

"Battalion Commander, what should we do with the guerrillas?" Company Captain Huang asked in a low voice.

"Guerrillas..." Zhang Dabiao looked at Li Yuexuan, gritted his teeth and said, "Take them with you, and let them follow the battalion headquarters!"

The decision has been made, and all that’s left is to fight. There’s nothing much to say about it.

Therefore, Zhang Dabiao and Niu Youtian, with a team of more than 500 people, went directly to the ridge and headed west along the path on the ridge. At the same time, more than 100 new recruits from the supplementary battalion, carrying all kinds of supplies and supporting the wounded who were unable to move, headed towards the Dragon King Temple.

To the west, on the ridge with a large sawtooth bend, Si Yong and his men had already chosen their battle position and even moved some large rocks to serve as cover. However, after waiting for a long time, the Japanese did not continue to advance.

At the brigade headquarters of a Japanese brigade, the radio kept ticking, but there was no signal from the Inukai Battalion.

What everyone doesn't know is that right at the beginning of the ambush, Inukai asked the signalman to report the ambush to the brigade headquarters. However, a machine gunner who did not want to reveal his name said that I seemed to have shot a Japanese soldier carrying a radio, but I don't remember clearly.

PS: I have run out of manuscripts, and I’m having some writer’s block. I don’t know how to develop several plots, so I’ll only write one chapter today. I need to think about it carefully.
