Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

"Okay, let's blow up these heavy machine guns! If we leave the heavy machine guns behind, the Japanese troops who follow up will think we have left and will not search the village carefully!" After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he glanced at a certain place in the village, greeted vaguely, and then turned and left.

"Okay, comrades of the cavalry company, it's time for us to act!" In the village, Sun Desheng looked at the regiment headquarters and the direct-affiliated team that followed the first battalion away, and turned over and rode on his warhorse.

"Company commander, where are we going?" a soldier asked Sun Desheng on his horse.

"The commander asked us to maneuver to lure the enemy and cover the retreat of the main force! So, let's leave the village first and hide in the cemetery to see if there are any powerful pursuers chasing our comrades!" After Sun Desheng finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and ran towards the cemetery outside the village.

Inside the village, in the tunnel, the militia captain watched his comrades going away, then looked at the dead Japanese soldiers lying around him, and finally returned to the depths of the tunnel.

"Xiao Wang, what's the battle situation outside?" asked the district captain.

"Don't mention it. The main force regiment is the main force regiment. More than 6000 Japanese devils and puppet troops surrounded our village, but were killed by the independent regiment! I looked out from the big locust tree in the village. Outside the village were dead Japanese devils, but I didn't see many bodies and wounded of our comrades! However, there are some wounded and sacrificed comrades on the walls around the village!" said Captain Wang.

"Even so, let's go out and take a look! So, squad one, you go directly to the north of the village through the tunnel, then search for the Japanese corpses nearby, and try to bring back some equipment or something! Squad two, you quickly circle around the village and bring back the wounded and the sacrificed comrades of the Eighth Route Army! We will treat the wounded, and bury the sacrificed comrades!"

"Yes! District Captain, should we pick up all the weapons and ammunition of the Japanese?" someone asked.

"How is that possible? The Japanese are not stupid. If we pick up so many guns, they will suspect that there are people hiding in the village! We will persist in fighting, and we will not fight to the death with the large Japanese raiding force! So, let's pick up 100 guns and equip all of us. In the future, when we encounter a small-scale Japanese search team, we can kill them!" The district captain's head was still clear.

"I understand, Captain! I just want to sigh, this is our main force! It's amazing, more than 2000 people wiped out more than 6000 people, it's amazing! But why do we still need to break out?"

"The main force is very powerful, but there are too many devils, and there are even more puppet soldiers and traitors, so they have an absolute advantage in terms of manpower! Moreover, the devils also have planes and cannons. Once the devils' planes fly over and the cannons start bombing, we really can't stand it! So, we have to break through, then fight in a mobile way, mobilize the devils' mopping-up teams, disperse the devils' forces, and finally we will have the opportunity to take action!"

"I understand, I understand, comrades, let's go!"

The militiamen came out of the tunnel and began to search the village for soldiers of the independent regiment who had died or been injured in the battle. Not to mention, in the previous battle, more than a hundred soldiers were injured or died in the exchange of fire with the devils. The militiamen carried the stretchers and first carried the wounded back to the village, and helped the wounded to hide in the tunnel. Then, they carried the sacrificed soldiers to the earth pit dug in the center of the village and buried them on the spot. In the tunnel, the district captain looked at the dozens of faces illuminated by the lanterns, and he couldn't hide his smile! Yes, the independent regiment sacrificed a lot of comrades, but compared with the devils they eliminated, this was a great victory!
The key is that these wounded soldiers have sulfa pills. They only need to dig out the bullets and bandage them. The chances of survival are still very high! And these wounded soldiers who survived are a force that cannot be ignored! These are soldiers of the main regiment. As long as they stay in the district team, help train the soldiers, and help fight a few battles, the district guerrilla brigade will soon be able to shock the world!
Just when the district captain was thinking happily about the future development, the cavalry company hiding in the cemetery finally found a target that could be acted upon - a cavalry regiment of the Japanese!
The Japanese cavalry regiment is actually nothing, but they are actually chasing the regiment’s team. This is intolerable, they must be killed!

In the north of the village, Li Yunlong's team followed the first battalion, so compared with the teams in other directions, they seemed to have more people. Therefore, they became the target of the Japanese cavalry regiment.

The Japs' cavalry, although called cavalry, actually had little combat power in terms of riding and slashing. They could be considered mounted infantry at best! However, cavalry had always been a noble branch of the military, so the Japs' cavalry were not the sons of common people, but the sons of nobles and minor nobles.

For example, Colonel Kuroshima Morita, who was only in the Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment chasing Li Yunlong's regiment, was a hereditary baron, a member of the royal family, and a true aristocrat! However, even the cavalry regiment led by a member of the royal family had less personnel than the cavalry regiment in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan, with only one-third of the number at that time, about 1200 personnel.

"Captain, the Japanese cavalry regiment is chasing us. There are more than a thousand war horses. What should we do?" In the team, Political Commissar Zhao looked at Li Yunlong anxiously, waiting for his decision.

Looking at the black mass of cavalry and the dust raised by the galloping cavalry horses, Li Yunlong did not feel any fear! Cavalry seemed to be very powerful against ordinary infantry, but it was no match for his independent regiment! The independent regiment did not have much else, but the firepower of light machine guns, heavy machine guns, assault rifles and other continuous shooting was still sufficient! There was even a shotgun, a close combat killer!
Li Yunlong once heard Li Yuexuan say: After the heavy machine gun came out, the era of cavalry was over! Although Li Yunlong disagreed verbally, he still affirmed this statement in his heart.

So, looking at the approaching cavalry regiment, Li Yunlong decisively ordered: "Set up positions for light and heavy machine guns and shotguns on the spot. When the Japanese cavalry comes, hit them hard! All assault rifles and semi-automatic rifles are ready to fight with the machine gun group! Grenade launchers, get ready to fire, and mortars set up positions on the spot!"

After Li Yunlong's order was issued, it took only three minutes for the breakout team, which was more than a thousand meters long, to build a defense line on the spot, with all their guns pointed at the Japanese cavalry regiment.

At this moment, the rumbling sound of horseshoes came from the rear of the Japanese cavalry regiment. On the leading horse, the cavalry company commander Sun Desheng was holding the horse's belly with his legs between his legs, holding the reins with his left hand while supporting the barrel guard of the assault rifle, and maintaining a riding and shooting posture. Behind him, more than 100 soldiers of the cavalry company also maintained the same posture.

Boom boom... The cavalry company's team chased the side and rear of the Japanese cavalry regiment at a very fast speed, and the distance between the two sides was less than 200 meters. At this moment, Sun Desheng straightened his waist and decisively pulled the trigger... Dadada... Dadada... The assault rifle sounded rhythmically.

Da da da... Da da da... Following suit, all the soldiers in the cavalry company opened fire at the Japanese soldiers in front of them. For a moment, bullets flew everywhere, and countless Japanese soldiers were shot and fell off their horses, howling in pain. (End of this chapter)
