Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Listening to the sound of bullet shells hitting each other, Li Yuexuan's mood gradually calmed down. He just waited for things to continue so that he could make the next response.

At this time, Li Yuexuan hoped that the Japanese would be wiped out at the edge of the base, and also hoped that the Japanese could disperse into the base so that the militias in each village could also show their strength. Of course, there was another hope, that is, the Japanese could reach Liangjia Village all the way, so that he could also participate in the battle.

This last hope is probably impossible to realize. Neither Zhao Danian nor other comrades will allow the Japanese to approach Liangjia Village. After all, there is an arsenal here, which is too important!
Although they knew that the enemy could not reach Liangjia Village, they still activated all the defense measures of Liangjia Village. First, all the women and children in the village went into the tunnels to hide, and then the militia followed the guard company into the tunnels and opened the entrance of the tunnel near the arsenal so that the workers could be evacuated into the tunnels at any time.

Then, Li Yuexuan personally took charge of the warehouse and took charge of the warehouse guarding work with Zhu Xingyu. As for the remaining forces of the security regiment, they were all handed over to Lu Xiaoran to prepare for battle.

As time went on, as calls were made to all the telephone contact points in the base and the news spread to the surrounding areas through these contact points, the entire base also entered a state of alert.

In Erlangyu near Dongyetou, east of Xiyang, militia captain Ge Erdan met the liaison officer who came hurriedly and received the information passed on by his superiors.

"What? More than 1500 Japanese soldiers came out of Xiyang City? Among them, there are 500 Japanese soldiers alone?" Ge Erdan looked at the information given by the liaison officer and quickly called over his signalman: "Xiaohu, take this information to Gubi Village in the east and give it to their captain Gao Dahu. Go quickly!"

"What are you still standing there for? Ring the bell and tell the villagers to hide in the tunnels. Let's go and bury the mines! Tell the newspapers to let us protect our own village. Don't worry about the main road. We will bury the mines in the village! Listen carefully, everyone should take care of their own homes. Bury the door mines, jar mines, chicken coop mines, and wall mines! Remember, each of you guard your own area. The shotguns are also ready..."

Ge Erdan didn't know whether the Japanese could reach their village, but he couldn't fall behind in any defensive measures! If they were prepared, they could still deal with the Japanese; if they were not prepared, they would just have to wait for death! Fortunately, their village had been a training point for the guerrillas. There were 100 new recruits training here, and their militia team was also trained together, so their combat effectiveness was not weak!

He was once a soldier of the Third Core Regiment, but a bullet cut off a piece of flesh from his left arm during a battle. He could no longer fight with the main force, so he returned to his hometown and became a militia captain.

The situation like Ge Erdan is similar in every village in the base area! Those who can become militia captains are often the injured veterans in the village. Even if they are not, they are the disabled veterans who came from the main force, and then they are arranged to settle down in the village, and even get married, and then they become the militia captain in the village.

What? The Eighth Route Army has to pay attention to the age limit when marrying a wife? The militia is not a main force, so there is no restriction on marrying a wife!

In Yinjiulang Village, Niu Fengtai, a young comrade who once served as a guard for the current Beishan Brigade’s First Brigade Captain Guo Zhongmin, has now grown into the platoon leader of the First Brigade’s guard platoon. At this time, he was behind a clump of sour jujube trees at the ox head position west of Woniu Mountain, observing the mountain road coming from the west.

The Zhoujia Village stronghold at the foot of the mountain no longer exists. After the Hundred Regiments Campaign, the Japanese built strongholds and artillery towers here many times, but they were all blown up by the guerrillas.

Rumble... tap tap... the roar of cars, the sound of horse hooves, the creaking of carriages, and the heavy footsteps combined into the devil's marching song. Looking at the devil's troops coming from the west, Niu Fengtai was somewhat excited.

"Platoon leader, we are ready. It depends on how many Japanese puppet troops can get into the net!" said deputy platoon leader Ma Shuangpeng behind Niu Fengtai. "Well, since we are ready, let's retreat! Let's go..." Niu Fengtai said, and quietly retreated, leading a squad of soldiers back to the quiet village.

In the east of Weijiazhuang, the people of Yinjiulang Village have already followed the people of Weijiazhuang and hid in the tunnel. Because Yinjiulang Village is built on the mountain, it can't really dig a tunnel except for building a traffic ditch, which shows how barren the land on Woniu Mountain is.

Of course, now is not the time to talk about whether the land is barren or fertile. Not long after Niu Fengtai and his men entered the traffic ditch from the village, the Japanese troops also entered the valley between Woniu Mountain and Mianyang Mountain.

Outside the valley, the captain of the 4th Battalion of the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade pointed to the east and said, "Don't underestimate the enemy and rush in. Akita Squadron, you guys, go up the mountain; Inaba Squadron, you guys also go up the mountain; the rest of you, follow me and walk in the middle! As for the Imperial Army, walk in the front!"

"Ha Yi..." The Japanese officers bowed, and then led the troops to disperse and march. The puppet soldiers who were marching in front of them were unaware of this.

"Those in front, hurry up, don't worry about the mountains on both sides, the imperial army is exploring the way for us!" Captain Lu shouted loudly in the puppet army, asking the team to speed up the march.
"What the hell, they're scouting the way for us? Who is the one walking a mile behind us? It's obvious that they're just letting us test the mines and ambushes of the Eighth Route Army!" A smart guy in the puppet army figured out the truth.

"Xiao Ding, do you think we should detonate now, or wait for the Japs to come up and take some of them with us?" In a house in the south of the village, two soldiers from the guard platoon whispered.

"Do you remember what the textbook says?" said the soldier called Xiao Ding, "When the enemy situation is uncertain, the detonation of directional mines should be based on achieving the greatest killing effect! This killing effect does not take into account the differences in the composition of the enemy, such as puppet troops, Japanese troops, stubborn troops, bandits, etc. Do you understand? The one who kills the most enemies is the winner!"

"Now that you've explained it, we know what to do! This is an explosion zone that's 1500 meters from east to west. A total of 30 directional mines have been buried. A main line has been drawn, and three side lines are connected separately... Now..." While the soldier was speaking, he glanced at the easternmost side, then looked at the westernmost side, and then decisively shook the phone in his hand.

Boom boom boom... The main line drives the side line, and the current runs through the entire process. 30 directional mines are detonated at almost the same time. For a moment, countless steel balls, iron sand and other fragments are shot out at the angle given by the shock wave, and also carry the speed given by the shock wave.

Whoosh... Swish... Puff puff... In the blink of an eye, all the 1000 puppet soldiers in the explosion area were covered in the barrage formed by various fragments.

Ah... some puppet soldiers who were lucky enough to survive felt pain on half of their bodies and let out miserable screams.

"It's no wonder that the explosion effect of directional mines is always so shocking and refreshing!" (End of this chapter)
