Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 550 Chapter 549, All Being Bombed

"I understand. You just need to blow up the Japanese in the east so that they can't reinforce the west. Then use all your firepower to ambush the Japanese and puppet troops in the ambush circle!" Captain Hu replied in a low voice.

"I understand. You will be given 10 minutes to prepare. The battle will officially begin at 11:10!" Commander Guo asked Captain Hu to organize the bombing, while he himself asked the messenger to whisper the order to all the company commanders.

Upon hearing the order, many grenade throwers left their positions and followed Captain Hu to the east to bombard the enemy as much as possible. Similarly, some soldiers carrying shotguns also moved quietly from the east to the west to deliver the greatest close-range firepower to the foot of the mountain.

On the mountain, two groups of people were walking towards each other, while the Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain were still biting cold rice balls. It took several Japanese soldiers to get a box of canned fish. There was no other way. Knowing that the Japanese soldiers were coming, the Eighth Route Army issued a task to the people in the area under their jurisdiction to fortify the walls and clear the fields. Everything that should be hidden was hidden, and the Japanese soldiers did not rob much.

The Japanese couldn't grab anything, so they could only eat the rice they brought, consuming their own logistical supplies and increasing the pressure on logistics. Then they attacked the Japanese's logistical supply lines, and the Japanese lost their ability to continue fighting. This is the principle of "food and grass must be prepared before troops move", which was put into practice by our Eighth Route Army.

The 10 minutes were up quickly, and Commander Guo didn't wait for the other comrades to prepare, he picked up the semi-automatic rifle and fired directly at the Japanese soldiers who were eating. The sound of gunfire resounded throughout Xigangzi.

Once he started fighting, it was a signal for battle! Soldiers from the Second Regiment, as well as soldiers from the Third Column and the Third Division Command, all raised their weapons and fired at the defenseless Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain. Although they only had more than 1200 people in total, the weapons of the Second Regiment were a combination of Japanese weapons, some semi-automatic and Qi-pulling light machine guns, and 2 Type 12 heavy machine guns.

The soldiers directly under the Third Column and the Third Division, such as the comrades in the Guard Company and the Special Agent Company, were mostly semi-automatic. Therefore, when they fought, more than 1200 people had the firepower of a large group of more than 2000 people. As various gunshots rang out, bullets rained down from the hills, and the Japanese who were still eating were stunned.

The Japanese soldiers were already 70% full and were in a lazy mood. They didn't realize that they were ambushed. Come to think of it, when they were ambushed in the past, they would usually start as soon as they entered the ambush area. How could they have time to watch them eat? The key point was that this was a three or four meter high cliff. Who would have thought that there would be someone on the top of the mountain?
The Japanese were stunned, but the Eighth Route Army on the mountain were not! Just as the soldiers raised their guns to shoot, a soldier from the shotgun group aimed the shotgun at the Japanese and pulled the rope towards the densest area... Boom boom boom... The roar mixed in with the gunfire was not obvious.

However, the whistling steel balls and iron sand made the confused Japanese soldiers suffer a lot. Not to mention the power of the shotgun close-range fire, anyway, after a round of shotgun bombardment, more than 500 Japanese soldiers were killed, and more than Japanese soldiers were left alive.

"Baga, come over here, quickly..." A Japanese officer found the blind spot and decided to lead the Japanese soldiers closer to the cliff to avoid the shooting angle on the mountain.

"Hurry, come over..." Although they knew they would lose the ability to fight back if they got close to the cliff, the Japanese still moved closer to the cliff. The Japanese's ability was getting worse year by year, so those who could get over within 5 seconds of the battle were basically very elite.

The Japanese were gathering their forces, but the Eighth Route Army on the mountain couldn't hear them, but they could see the Japanese's movements! So Commander Guo shook his hands with satisfaction and waved vigorously at the commandos around him. Then, more than 30 soldiers holding bundles of grenades left the trenches and headed towards the cliff on the hillside under the attention of their comrades.

When the soldiers stopped at the cliff, the gunfire on the hill had basically stopped. Many people were moving positions, and only the grenade launchers and mortars were still firing. The commandos did not dare to delay at all. They quickly pulled the grenades out of the ropes, unscrewed the back cover ring, and threw them off the cliff.

The Japanese gathered at the foot of the cliff, originally planning to return to their team to the east, but they saw their team being bombarded by countless shells, which made the Japanese hesitate, wondering whether they should go back to be bombed? Then, the grenade rolled down and fell to the ground not far from them, followed by the final explosion...

Boom boom boom... Boom boom boom... With the explosion of the grenades, the Japanese soldiers no longer had to worry about whether they should return to their original team, because they were also being bombed...

The battle of the ambush was carried out very quickly, almost reaching a fever pitch at the beginning, and then it seemed to be over in the blink of an eye. But in reality? The battle was still going on, but the focus of the battle shifted from the ambush in the western half to the blocking battle in the eastern half.

Because of the advanced weapons, ammunition and manpower, most of the Japanese in the ambush circle were killed in just the first few minutes. Why can't we say that it was all? Because we didn't go down the mountain to check, and we didn't know if there were any lucky ones who escaped the grenade bombing.

But this did not prevent the focus of the battle from shifting to the east! On this side of the ambush circle, only some soldiers were left to monitor and serve as a reserve.

In the east, the Japanese soldiers who were bombed did not retreat as expected, but put down their bowls and picked up their guns during the bombing, and launched a charge towards the Xigangzi Hill. As for why this happened, it was because the 2nd Regiment of the Basic Force did not have enough grenade launchers and mortars, and could not cover the entire line of the Japanese soldiers.

Therefore, the Japanese had time and distance to react. Also, because the cliffs were not continuous, and there was a gentle slope to the east of Xigangzi, the Japanese could launch an active attack on the ambush circle, hoping to close the distance with the Eighth Route Army and prevent the Eighth Route Army's artillery from bombing.

It's ironic, isn't it? When our weapons were superior, the Japanese also learned to close the distance.

"I'm going to die..." The Japanese commander had blood on his face, a wound on his forehead, and his arms were out of control, but that did not stop him from launching the attack.

"Shoot..." The Japanese counterattack was fierce. Almost all the surviving Japanese launched an attack on the Xigangzi position.
