Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

The effect of directional mines is of course very good, especially when used in a concentrated manner to bomb dense marching columns, the effect is extraordinary! The Eighth Route Army knows this, the devils know this, and some puppet troops also know this!
But even so, the devils still let the puppet army go ahead and still maintained a dense marching formation in the base area. Why? In the eyes of the devils, the puppet army is like toilet paper, which can be used once and thrown away!
In Yin Jiulang Village, two soldiers, Ding Yang and Yu Shan, after taking a quick look at the situation down the mountain ahead, walked into the village without looking back, lifted the cover of the traffic trench and crawled in.

"Platoon leader, the explosion was successful. The puppet army's column was completely covered, and countless casualties were caused!" As soon as Ding Yang entered the traffic trench, he saw Niu Fengtai with a smile on his face.

"Okay, the two of you hurry up and follow the traffic ditch to meet up with our captain!" In the tunnel of the traffic ditch, Niu Fengtai moved aside, and Ding Yang and Yu Shan passed by sideways, then walked eastward along the traffic ditch, turning along the tunnel from time to time on the way, and finally reached the exit near Weijia Village, where they met Guo Zhongmin who was waiting there.

"Captain, we succeeded..." Ding Yang repeated what he had just said, but explained it more clearly.

"Well, go back to the team. Wait for your platoon leader to come back and guard this cave entrance. Maybe there will be unexpected gains!" Guo Zhongmin pointed to the village wall behind him and asked the two men to hurry over.

The thickened and raised village wall did not block the two soldiers. They took a running start, stepped on the wall for leverage, then reached out to grab the top of the wall, turned over and crossed their legs to reach the top.

"Haha, comrades, we are back, and we killed at least five hundred puppet soldiers in one go!" Ding Yang said proudly when he saw his comrades in the guard platoon.

"Very good, very good, you have done a good job. Return to the team quickly. The two shooting holes over there are reserved for you!" said a soldier in his 20s.

"Yes, squad leader!" The two men stood at attention, quickly got into the fighting pit built in the wall, and picked up their assault rifles.

Not long after they returned to the team, Niu Fengtai and Ma Shuangpeng also hurriedly crawled out of the tunnel. However, Guo Zhongmin had already returned to the village with his guards, and went directly into the tunnel and headed towards the Jigongling position. He already knew the explosion of the directional mine in front, and the arrangement of Weijia Village was also completed. He needed to go to Jigongling to command the main position.

On the Weijia Village side, he left behind the 3rd Company of the First Battalion and the guard platoon to guard it. On the Jigongling side, two companies and the battalion's direct troops were guarding it. In the north, towards Baijing Town, there were another two companies guarding it.

At this time, the new recruits of Beishan Guard Detachment have been incorporated into the combat team, and all regiment-level units have been expanded and rectified. Now Beishan Detachment has 3 battalion-level units, each battalion has 5 infantry companies, 1 guard platoon, 1 artillery platoon and the battalion's direct team.

In addition to the two regimental-level units, the Guard Regiment is an integrated resource, while the main 1st Regiment has 6 main companies, an artillery company, a reconnaissance company, a guard platoon and team units directly under the regiment.

In short, this time the reorganization work, Beishan Detachment's strength increased from more than 3500 to more than 4500, a proper brigade-level unit. With the area east of the two county towns, hundreds of villages and more than 2000 square kilometers of land, the supply of more than 4500 combat forces is not too stressful, and the people can still afford it.

Among these units, Zheng Changfeng's main force regiment undoubtedly received comprehensive support! They have the most veterans, the best equipment, and more combat units than other battalions, so they are called the main force regiment.

The purpose of the main regiment's existence was actually determined when the first company was established, that is, mobility and attack, it is the main combat unit! The purpose of the other three battalions is to build an outer layer of security defense system around the Liangjia Village Arsenal to ensure the safe production of the arsenal.

As for the Guard Regiment? Well, it was a Guard Regiment. No one even considered it a regiment. It could be split and reorganized at any time during the battle. It was mainly a flexible response. In the valley south of Yin Jiulang Village, the puppet soldiers had returned from the directional blasting and began to search for the surviving brothers.

"Captain? Captain, are you okay?" Somewhere in the south of the village, several puppet soldiers covered in blood were shaking the motionless Captain Lu and shouting, but received no response.

"Captain, are you still alive?" Not far away, a puppet soldier who was crawling forward found his own captain and asked while crying.

"Ah, ah... my legs, my arms, my ancestors, who will shoot me? Brothers, please help me, it hurts so much!" This is a wounded soldier begging for a quick death in a weak voice.

In short, this was the scene they saw when the Japanese army came over.

"Yo, it makes sense to let the Imperial Army go in the front, otherwise we would be the ones falling on the ground!" Captain Yamaguchi of the 11th Battalion said, shaking his head.

"Captain, should we rescue these Imperial Army soldiers? And what should our next move be?" Squadron Leader Inaba came over and asked.

"Treat them? Can you save them? Look, flies are attracted here. Their bodies will soon be full of maggots. We don't have enough medicine to treat them! However, you should send a small team of soldiers to check them one by one! We are not treating them, but looking for those Imperial Army soldiers who can still walk normally and take them to continue moving forward!"

"Captain, the Eighth Route Army has such combat effectiveness, why should we continue to advance?" Inaba asked in confusion.

"No, no, no. The Eighth Route Army is very powerful. I am well aware of this. But I am even more aware that if we return now, we will be summoned by a military court, and you and I will both need to commit seppuku to apologize! So, let's move forward. The map shows that there is a village ahead called Weijia Village. We will stop at Weijia Village and not go any further!" Yamaguchi said.

"Haha!" Captain Inaba returned to his team and led the Japanese forward.

"Reporting to the captain, we found the tunnel used by the Eighth Route Army to escape in the village in the north. Captain Akita asked whether we should send soldiers to pursue them along the tunnel?" A Japanese signalman came over and asked.

"Tunnels? Tunnels are not that safe. The Eighth Route Army will plant mines in the tunnels! Tell Akita that if he is not afraid of the sacrifice of his soldiers, he should send soldiers to pursue! Everything is up to you!"

"Ha!" The Japanese signalman bowed and hurried to convey the order.

"Attack? I checked the data. Too many imperial soldiers died in this battle..." Yamaguchi whispered when there was no one around. (End of this chapter)
