Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 553 Chapter 552, let him in, close the door and fight!
The tower near the water sees the moon first, and the flowers and trees facing the sun see spring early.

As two of the six military divisions under the Taihang District, the Third and Second Divisions naturally had priority over other units in getting new equipment! Although the first batch of heavy equipment was given to the 6th Brigade, it was also because the 386th Brigade was going to develop in the Taiyue District, surrounded by Japanese invaders and stubborn troops, and the situation was very complicated, so they took care of it.

Of course, another reason is that the 386th Brigade is under the direct command of the central government, so it should receive some preferential treatment at a certain level.

Putting all this aside, the headquarters arsenal has now increased the production capacity of mortars, especially heavy mortars, and transferred all the rifles to the Naogou arsenal. This allows the arsenal to produce 180 heavy mortars and 300 Type 82 mortars a month. The daily output of heavy mortar shells has reached 300, and Type 82 mortar shells is as high as 600.

Although this production capacity is not as good as the Russians' production of tens of thousands, but we are small and small, so we are very satisfied with these! It's better to have something than nothing, right?

Therefore, the deputy commander, with a bulging pocket, allocated heavy mortars to each division. The standard was 27 heavy mortars per battalion, and the more they needed, the more they could replenish! Then, after a quick look, they found that there was still a surplus of the production capacity for one month, so they continued to strengthen it in other units.

You mean the headquarters artillery regiment? It has been equipped a long time ago, and is now busy with the transportation training of the large troop regiment. Therefore, the brigade-level units of the 129th Division, the first, second and third columns established by the headquarters, became the next target for reinforcement. Of course, some brigade-level units have been mixed with the military sub-districts, so they do not need to be replenished for the time being.

The 385th Brigade is still an independent unit, and this time it will probably get new heavy mortars from the Liangjiacun Arsenal, which is close to it. Then, there is a greater possibility that the heavy mortars produced by the Liangjiacun Arsenal will cross the Zhengtai Line to the north to replenish the Taiyue District, and cross the Pinghan Line to the east to replenish the Jizhong District.

Now, it is clear how important the location of the Liangjia Village Arsenal is, right?
Of course, it is still a little early to say this now, because of the heavy pressure of the Liangjiacun Arsenal, it is still being heated in the furnace in the shape of a train axle, waiting for further processing after repeated tempering.

Zuohui Mountain is the hill to the west of the headquarters arsenal. There is a pass on the mountain that can be passed by troops. At this time, Captain Ou is guarding here with a battalion of troops. At the foot of the mountain are the troops of the 1st Regiment of the Second Division, guarding the line between the Liugou Iron Factory and the Xianwang Village Forging Factory.

Of course, at this time the two factories had already stopped production and moved, so the soldiers did not have to worry about the safety of their workers.

Lijiaopo was not far to the south of the First Regiment, and the main force of the Second Division was concentrated on the Lijiaopo line to block the Japanese from Panlong Town from advancing north or east.

Now, the Japanese soldiers coming down from Liao County have already reached Hongshui Town along the Panhong River, and have sent a team of more than a thousand people to go up along the ravine, aiming directly at the Zuohuishan Pass. After receiving the telegram from the headquarters, Captain Ou immediately called the first regiment.

"Where are the Japanese?" Captain Ou was not polite and asked directly the most important question.

"We just passed Xiaowangzhuang! The Japs found nothing in Xiaowangzhuang, and the next step will be to our ambush position!" The regiment elder Mou answered simply.

"Have you read the telegram just now? My idea is that you retreat for the time being and let the Japanese come up, just below Zuohui Mountain, to block the Japanese. We will fight on the mountain and you will fight from behind to eat these Japanese!" Captain Ou said confidently.

"Do you have the confidence to stop it?" Captain Mou asked with a little doubt.

"Who are you looking down on? Zuohui Mountain is already a strategic location. We have a battalion guarding here, and we have 18 heavy guns. How many Japanese troops do you think will be needed to take it down?" Captain Ou said. "Okay, we'll do as you say, but there will be many houses burned down in the villages along the way! It's New Year's Day, and they're gone just like that..." Captain Mou said with some reluctance.

"Don't worry about those bottles and jars, just break them and rebuild them! It's settled. The houses damaged by the Japanese will be built better ones for the people when it gets warmer during the New Year!" Captain Ou said and put down the phone.

"Retreat across the board, hide yourselves, let the Japanese attack, and we will attack them from behind! Hit them hard this time, and don't let a single Japanese go back!" Captain Mou shouted loudly after hanging up the phone.

Soon, the soldiers who were expecting to fight were transferred back to the rear, and they left the ambush ridge and hid behind the mountain. Not long after, the Japanese soldiers carrying guns and puppet soldiers driving cars walked up from the bottom of the ditch in the west, passed the ambush area of ​​the regiment, and headed towards Zuohui Mountain.

The Japanese soldiers walked very slowly, and they would go into every small village along the way to see if there was anything to be gained. Especially those chicken coops, some of them would lie down and look, trying to find a little bit of gain. However, the people valued food more than their lives, and they watched the chickens even more closely, so how could they leave eggs for the Japanese soldiers?
You said this is a mountainous area, and the people can't dig tunnels in the village, so where are they hiding? Look, they are hiding with the workers on Zuohui Mountain. Although the arsenal is just over here, the people's ancestors have been checked, so they can still be let in without worry. Of course, for the time being, the people can only live in the caves on the mountain.

How the people lived was not the point. The point was that there were no mines in the villages along the way, which made the Japanese relax their vigilance and they didn't even send scouts to patrol the mountains on both sides.

More than an hour passed and the Japanese finally reached the foot of Zuohui Mountain. They saw the winding mountain road and, naturally, the soldiers of the special forces regiment who were on high alert.

"Fire!" Captain Ou shouted softly, raised his box gun and fired a shot at the foot of the mountain. Although the shot had no effect because it was too far away, it gave the whole battalion a signal to open fire.

So, with the roar of "boom boom boom", the six Type 6 rifles deployed on both sides of the position began to spit bullets, and all the 27 light machine guns, 54 assault rifles and hundreds of semi-automatic rifles in the middle of the battalion also began to shoot at the devils. For a while, the devils were hit by bullets like raindrops! And with the deafening gunfire, 27 groups of grenade launchers fired volleys in the direction of the devils again and again.

"What..." The Japanese commander was at the back. Seeing the Japanese puppet soldiers in the front row falling down, he was surprised at first, then waved his hand and said, "Everyone, go ahead and shoot..."

The Japanese soldiers were very obedient and started firing at the commander's command, but firing from an upward angle was difficult to begin with, and now they were suppressed by the firepower, so their return firepower was minimal.

Just at this moment, a whistling sound was heard overhead, and a volley of grenades fired from grenade launchers fell from the sky, exploding in the Japanese army, taking away the Japanese soldiers one by one.

"Baga, we can't withstand this kind of firepower, turn around, turn around..." The Japanese commander saw that things were not going well and wanted to run away. However, at this time, Captain Mou had already blocked the way down the mountain with his men, and there was an even duller whistling sound in the air, even with a hissing sound.

Thanks for your reward and concern, I feel much better today and I am in high spirits. Thank you!
