Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 556 Chapter 555, Fight

For the Eighth Route Army in southeastern Shanxi, today is undoubtedly a good day for harvest! Well, yesterday was also a good day for harvest...

Originally, the Japanese gathered more than 1.2 troops and came in a menacing manner, which seemed quite realistic! But when we really started fighting with them, we found that they were no longer the same as before!
Of course, the devils are not the devils they used to be, and the Eighth Route Army is no longer the Eighth Route Army! The devils are at least 30% weaker than they were at the beginning, while the Eighth Route Army has increased its combat effectiveness several times! With this back and forth, when fighting the devils, everyone suddenly found that the devils were easier to fight! This also made some commanders and comrades fail to change their minds and still maintain the tactics of hand-to-hand combat!

How could it be difficult to fight? What was the situation when the Eighth Route Army just crossed the river? The soldiers of the main force had 5 bullets each, which was a lot! Then the Pingxingguan victory was said to be a hand-to-hand combat with the devils, but in fact, the entire regiment could not find a few bayonets! The hand-to-hand combat was a hand-to-hand combat between the soldiers holding rifles without bullets and the devils with bayonets!
Now, not only are the bayonets fully equipped, but the main regiments and the backbone regiments are also developing towards the organization standards specified by the bosses! Heavy mortars, assault rifles, semi-automatic... In short, now these main regiments of the 129th Division, except for the heavy mortars, are much better than the Japanese regiments in other equipment!
Therefore, when more than 2000 Japanese soldiers were approaching Changle Village step by step with staggering steps, it meant that the biggest harvest of the day was about to come!
"Commander, the Japanese front-line troops have reached the east end of Changle Village, followed by a team of more than two kilometers long. The number of people is confirmed to be more than 2000!" A signalman reported at the ambush command post.

"No need to report all the time. Call the front line and tell them that all the Japs have entered the ambush area. Fire signal flares immediately and start fighting. Don't ask for instructions! By the way, tell the artillery that when they see the signal flares, they should immediately bomb according to the predetermined coordinates. Don't worry about whether the Japs are in the bombing area or not!" Commander Guo's voice was calm, but he was very worried in his heart.

How should I put it? His plan this time was somewhat bold, mainly because it was in the infantry ambush circle, and there was also artillery bombardment. This was a plan that could be fatal if it went wrong! He was not worried about the 82 mortars, but the 120mm heavy mortars! One artillery shell could overturn more than two acres of land, and the power was too great. He was afraid that the stray shells would hit his own people.

This is no joke, the Xiangtangpu ambush was exactly like this. Because of the mismatch between the infantry and artillery, some soldiers were injured by their own mortars.

But even though he was worried, Commander Guo still took on all the responsibilities and did not urge the artillery, so as to prevent them from making bigger mistakes due to nervousness.

"Everything depends on whether the soldiers led by Situ can stand the test!" Commander Guo rubbed his swollen head and said to himself.

Time did not slow down because of Commander Guo's worry. Commander Guo also knew that kindness was not good for the army. He was good at using artillery and knew that only by letting the shells line up and explode in the enemy's ranks could the greatest victory be achieved with less sacrifice! The power of artillery was simply too dazzling!

"Hurry up, hurry up, we need to go back, we have lost too many troops!"

"It's all the fault of the navy idiots! They had to build two Yamato battleships at once! The cost of these two ships is enough to build 14 infantry divisions!"

"Yamamoto is right. The navy idiots have taken away too much military funds. They eat better than us and don't have to run around fighting security battles every day. They just stay on the ship and don't move!"

It seems that after arriving at Changle Village, the Japanese felt that they were not far from Wuxiang, so they relaxed their vigilance and even began to collectively scold the navy idiots. Of course, the Yamato battleship they talked about would actually be a joke in the future. If you go in the wrong direction, even if you invest more money, it will all be in vain. Hurry... The Japanese troops trotted forward, and the cold wind brought dust raised by trampling and blew it onto the ice of the Zhuozhang River next to them.

"There are still 100 meters... 50 meters... 30 meters. Fire the signal flares, quickly!" Somewhere on the front line, Captain Hu saw that all the Japanese had entered the ambush circle and hurriedly gave the order.

Bang...Chirp...The red flares flew into the air, and the whistling sound spread far away, making the long-awaited soldiers on the entire battlefield compress their tense nerves to the extreme!

Crash... The engineers hiding at the ambush point held the magnetic telephone in their arms and shook it at the fastest speed in their lives, allowing the electric current to spread to all the directional blasting points.

Boom boom boom... The directional blasting devices that were enough to cover the entire 3-kilometer-long ambush area exploded almost simultaneously, and countless steel balls, iron sand, pigeon egg-sized pebbles, and other fragments, driven by the shock wave of the explosion, covered the entire ambush area like flowers scattered by fairies. With the overlapping of directional mines, there was no so-called blind spot at all, and every devil was taken care of!
Such an exciting scene was just the beginning of the ambush! Immediately following the directional blast, the soldiers raised their guns and pulled the triggers at the fastest speed, with the sound of gunfire from various types of firearms overlapping each other.

Amid the gunfire, the grenade launchers fired the grenades that had been hidden in the barrels for the whole morning without showing any weakness! At the same time, the shotgun gunners pulled the fuse and fired countless fragments at the devils again!
"Ahhh...%...&&..." The devils screamed, howled, and made all kinds of sounds that were not human. And all this was just because the devils were covered with all kinds of shrapnel and bloody holes in their bodies caused by bullets.

也就在鬼子们惨嚎的十几秒时间里，先是100多个掷弹筒的榴弹排着队从天而降，接着就是9发120mm重迫炮弹跟20发82迫击炮炮弹。

These shells exploded on the roads on both sides of Changle Village according to the predetermined trajectory. In the flames of various sizes, countless Japanese soldiers were blown away and torn to pieces.

"Very good, the shells fell among the Japanese, and there were no accidental casualties!" Commander Guo put down the telescope and felt relieved.

"Second round, continue, fire..." The artillerymen began the second round of bombing.

"Fight, fight hard, don't save bullets, you can replenish them after you finish firing. Open fire, don't think about fighting with bayonets, that is the last resort!" The squad leaders at the front loudly directed the battle and taught the soldiers not to rush forward to fight with bayonets because the time was not right yet.
