Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Yamaguchi was a smart officer who was unwilling to die for the emperor. Even if the price was right, the emperor could be used as a commodity...

Unlike Yamaguchi, Lieutenant Colonel Ito from Jingxing is a die-hard fan of the Emperor! After all, they are a special division formed by the reserve of the 10th Division, and the teacher, the head of the division, Yoshio Shinozuka, is still the commander of the First Army. Naturally, he feels that he is great, at least better than the independent mixed brigade.

Rumble... creak... the tanks creaked as they drove, with four three-wheeled vehicles in front leading the way, and 4 trucks pulling the elite Japanese soldiers behind them. Behind the trucks, there were still hundreds of Japanese soldiers running, and behind them was a long marching column of puppet troops. That's right, this was the Japanese army from Jingxing, and they were marching along the Gantao River Valley towards Ceyu Town in the south.

Longwang Temple is a riverside village 25 miles away from Jingxing. Tianchuan and Luo Wei were hiding here. Looking at the team passing by the village, Tianchuan frowned, but did not react. He just watched the Japanese puppet army rumble past the village entrance.

"Captain, are we just going to watch?" Lowe really wanted to do something, but he didn't ask until this moment.

"Don't move. If you move, our battle plan will be ruined!" Tian Chuan said, then turned around and said, "Captain Li, we can act now. Hang up all the mines!"

"Okay!" A man in his 30s dressed as an ordinary citizen agreed, and led the militiamen out of the village, searching for the mines that had been buried on the road and hanging up the detonators.

"We are here..." At this moment, teams of militiamen appeared from the mountains in the north and greeted the villagers.

"Okay, I won't say anything else. The Japanese have mobilized 600 troops and 800 puppet troops and have already passed through here. This time, we mobilized the militia to give you more combat experience and give you a chance to kill the Japanese and puppet troops with your own hands! Look, Longwang Temple and Sunjiayu in the south, one in the north and the other in the south, just sandwich this river valley."

"Two miles east of Sunjiayu, there is a big bend. Our goal is to rely on Longwang Temple and Sunjiayu to defend this section of the valley east of Sunjiayu."

"Even though the Japs have already passed by, I believe they will come back! Because our main force has already built a position on the high ground between the North and South Barrier Cities, waiting for the Japs to come over and fight! And once the Japs are beaten, they will soon be beaten back, and our chance will come! Okay, time is running out, let's go!"

After Tianchuan finished speaking, he took some special forces, a platoon of soldiers from the cavalry reconnaissance company, and militiamen from more than a dozen surrounding villages, forming a team of more than 300 people, and built fortifications in the two villages. Rifles, machine guns, shotguns, grenade launchers and other weapons were taken out, and mines were hung on the strings, waiting to block the retreat of the Japanese puppet army.

There are a total of 48 veterans with rich combat experience, and they are super strong veterans, and 23 militia captains with decent combat effectiveness. The rest are militia teams that have participated in training and even have battlefield cleaning experience. These are the troops deployed by the Third Division at the northernmost end of the position.

In the town of Nanzhangcheng, the headquarters of the Third Battalion was set up here, only 300 meters away from the main blocking position. The two main companies of the Third Battalion were deployed in the village of Beizhangcheng, waiting for the Japanese troops to come and cut off the Japanese troops. The Third Battalion arranged an infantry company to guard the small hill between the North and South Barrier Cities. In addition, there was another infantry company staying in Nanzhangcheng as a reserve force, and the remaining company that did not participate in the battle set up a position on Gushan in the south as the last line of defense against Ceyu Town.

Of course, this was only the strength of the three battalions. If the militia from the south was included, there would be more than 400 militiamen in it. The militiamen knew that a war was coming, so they followed along the way. Like the militiamen from the north, they were eager to kill a Japanese soldier and return to pay tribute to their ancestors.

All of Chen Changsheng's arrangements were aimed at stopping the advance of the Japanese. His confidence in winning the battle actually came from the 4 82 mortars of the mortar platoon and the 45 grenade launchers concentrated in Beizhang City! That's right, in order to kill the most Japanese troops with the greatest firepower in the shortest time, Chen Changsheng chose to concentrate the explosive firepower.

Chen Changsheng also participated in the blocking battle in Yuanzhen, so he knew very well how much damage the concentrated use of grenade launchers could do to the enemy's marching column! Therefore, he made such an arrangement and even gave up the fortifications built in the north of Ceyu Town, and took the initiative to put the blocking battlefield here.

In addition, he also used powerful weapons such as directional mines on the positions of Beizhangcheng. Why is this so? The Gantao River, which flows from north to south, flows east of Beizhangcheng Village, more than 300 meters away from the village. However, the road to the south passes directly from the west of the village, close to the village wall. To the west of the road is a farmland spanning more than 500 meters, and mines are also buried in the farmland.

In short, the Third Brigade has made preparations and is just waiting for the Japanese to come to their doorstep!
Actually, the area between the North and South Barrier City is not suitable for ambushes, because the river valley here is relatively wide, and it is not a good place for ambushes. From here to the south, there is a long and narrow valley, which is less than 200 meters wide. However, the Japanese have also been beaten smart, and in such terrain, the Japanese will be extra careful, and it is difficult to fool them.

Time passed by little by little as everyone waited! In the tunnel of Beizhangcheng Village, the soldiers waited quietly, waiting for the sentinels to give the signal to fight. Behind the soldiers were the militiamen from each village, each of them standing behind their own militia captain, rubbing their hands and making small movements, looking very impatient.

Rumble, creak... Finally, a three-wheeled vehicle drove over from the north and stopped at the entrance of the village. Several Japanese soldiers jumped off the vehicle and entered the village for patrol.

Naturally, the Japanese could not find anything. The people all hid, and even the sentries hid behind cover. The Japanese could not see anything except the relatively clean streets and houses.

So the Japanese got on their motorcycles and continued to rumble southward, stopping directly in the south of the village to guide the convoy behind them.

Rumble... crash, crash... A new group of Japanese soldiers got on the truck. The Japanese soldiers who were running just now got on the truck to rest, and those who were sitting got off and ran. When the Japanese soldiers passed the village, there was no fighting. It seemed that there was no one in the village. Then, the Japanese soldiers passed by like this, and the puppet army behind them entered the road on the side where the village was.

Boom boom boom... The directional mine exploded, covering only the 500-odd puppet soldiers passing through the village in the explosion area, and countless flesh and blood were scattered on the road. (End of this chapter)
