Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Erlangyu, Paijiashan, and Xigubi Village, three points in the east, south, and west, plus the positions on the mountain in the north, a complete pocket formation is formed!
As we all know, the Eighth Route Army is good at guerrilla warfare and ambushes, and they are also good at setting up pocket formations! For example, in the Xiangchenggu battle, the brigade commander set up a pocket formation.

Now, with the help of the river valley terrain, mountain villages and tunnels, the main force of the Beishan detachment has set up a pocket formation for the devils! Although the total strength of the devil's puppet army is more than 1400, which is hundreds of people more than the main force of the regiment, the equipment advantage of the main force has exceeded the personnel limit.

When the Japs came out of Xiyang City, there were only a little over 500 of them, and there were a little over 1000 puppet troops. The force seemed numerous, but the real combat power was still on the Japs' side!

Zheng Changfeng naturally knew this, so most of the regiment's artillery fire was directed at the Japanese, so that when the battle had been going on for 5 minutes, only a few sporadic firepower points were still fighting back in the Japanese team, and the rest of the Japanese had basically been wiped out!
The reason for this is that after bombing the main force of the Japanese, the artillery fire was transferred to the puppet army, and the firepower targeting the Japanese was turned into all the precision shooters and snipers in the regiment!

Bang... Bang... On the battlefield, Bai Dabao responded to Tian Chuan's call and continued to fight with his gun! He was a good shooter and had always used a sniper rifle and a pistol. But now, his pistol was replaced with a new submachine gun, and the sniper rifle was still his main weapon. He raised his gun and fired at the puppet army team, specifically those puppet soldiers in officer uniforms.

Almost every time a gunshot was fired, one or two puppet soldiers were killed! The Ma Sihuan sniper rifle had a high accuracy. Although its penetration was not as good as that of the Type 38 rifle, if it was fired well, it would be no problem to kill two people with one shot!

"Platoon Leader Bai, the regiment's order is for you to move your position to the east and help the first company and the regiment's direct team to eliminate the remaining Japanese devils!" The regiment's messenger hurried over and shouted.

"Tell the commander, I received it!" After Bai Dabao shouted, he stood up and shouted to the people around him: "Those from the special forces team, follow me!" After that, he quickly walked towards Erlangyu.

Although Erlangyu is a village by the river and the entire village is built in the river valley, this village is close to the northern hillside and was built in a place surrounded by two mountain roots.

Bai Dabao led his men from the west amid the sound of gunfire, and directly arrived at the foot of the mountain west of Erlangyu (the remnant of the mountain ridge extending southward), just over 200 meters away from the river valley. Here, they were right in the middle of the Japanese troops, and could overlook the entire area where the Japanese were.

Just at this moment, the sound of the Type 99 light machine gun was heard, and several bullets whizzed over, flying over everyone's heads with a sound of breaking through the air.

"Over there, behind the rocks, use the grenade launcher to shoot them down!" Listening to the sound and identifying the enemy's position, Bai Dabao directly found the position of the Japanese and arranged the grenade launcher to kill them.

The grenade thrower picked up the grenade thrower without hesitation and fired a grenade at the enemy's position. They were all veterans, and they had memorized the distance and calculation. The grenade thrower didn't even measure the distance carefully, and he accurately destroyed the firing point.

A machine gun fire point was destroyed, which was an insignificant battle for the special forces. Then, the soldiers scattered on the foot of the mountain and carried out accurate sniping and bombing on the Japanese fire points they could see on the battlefield! Those who could use guns were sniped, and those who couldn't use guns were grenade launchers...

With the joining of Bai Dabao and his men, there were fewer and fewer Japanese soldiers, until there was no one left alive. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and turned their attention back to the puppet army in the west.

At the entrance of Erlangyu Village, Ge Erdan and his men did not continue to fight after they finished the first wave of battles at the entrance of the village. Instead, they watched in a daze as the Japanese were bombarded by the artillery and grenade launchers of their main regiment and were targeted by snipers...

"Captain, is this the strength of our main force? It's amazing!" Seeing that the Japanese were all wiped out, Du Xiaofei finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ge Erdan and asked. "Yes, the strength of the main force is so strong, but I can't fight in the main force!" After Ge Erdan finished speaking, he patted his left thigh, where there was a piece of meat missing, and a big hole.

"Actually, it's better to stay in the village. My sister-in-law's belly is big, and it won't be long before we can become uncles again!" Zheng Damao said.

"Captain, you said that we were the ones who killed these Japanese devils at the village entrance. Can we go and clean up the battlefield?" Li Shangen asked.

"Wait, when the main force clears the battlefield, we'll go talk, and they'll probably give us some spoils of war and weapons! I was wondering if I could change my Type 38 rifle to a semi-automatic one!" Ge Erdan's eyes were filled with desire. When he was in the basic regiment, he used a semi-automatic rifle, but now that he's a militia captain, he can only use the Type 38 rifle, which he really despises...

While they were talking, the battle in the west was still going on! In fact, the puppet troops had been beaten dizzy, and the firepower of the counterattack was very small. The large forces of puppet troops were either hiding or pretending to be dead.

"Sniper, shoot down all the puppet soldiers who dare to approach the machine gun..."

"Alright, we have the situation under control. Captain of the 6th and 5th companies, take your respective companies to capture prisoners. Remember, it is better to not take any prisoners than to pay attention to your own safety!"

Zheng Changfeng stood at the command post of Paijiashan, and one order after another was issued from here and then spread throughout the battlefield. When the 6th and 5th companies entered the battlefield from the east and west sides, it meant that the whole battle had reached its final stage!

As expected, when more than 300 people from two companies were deployed to the battlefield, some puppet soldiers who were pretending to be dead were eliminated, and some puppet soldiers who surrendered were gathered up amid the sound of shotguns and semi-automatic gunfire, and the battle was quickly over.

"Hu... OK, signalman, send a telegram to the detachment: Our unit ended the battle a minute ago. Most of the Japanese and puppet troops coming out from Xiyang were annihilated, and dozens of prisoners were captured! The specific results of the battle need to be statistically reported after the battlefield is cleaned up!" Following Zheng Changfeng's order, the signalman sent out the battle report...

In Liangjia Village, outside the communications room, Zhu Xingyu received two battle reports, one from Jiulong Pass and the other from Zheng Changfeng.

"Good, good, great!" After quickly reading two battle reports, Zhu Xingyu cheered happily, then picked up the phone and called Jigongling.

"Captain? I'm Lao Zhu, and I have the latest information to tell you!" Zhu Xingyu's voice was filled with excitement.

"What's wrong, Lao Zhu?" Zhao Danian asked with some confusion while holding the phone.

"The situation is like this..." (End of this chapter)
