Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

As a guard platoon directly under the brigade, Niu Fengtai naturally has submachine guns! Although the entire platoon only has 4 submachine guns, it also greatly improves the close combat firepower of the guard platoon! Of course, what Li Yuexuan could not have imagined was that Guo Zhongmin did not put the guard platoon around to surround the team headquarters, but instead let the guard platoon do the work of the reconnaissance platoon...

In Yinjiulang Village, as the gunshots of the guard platoon rang out, the Japanese soon realized that someone had entered the village! Although the Japanese didn't know where the Eighth Route Army came from, it didn't matter. What mattered was that they needed to fight back immediately to ensure the safety of the village!
At a house in the middle of the village, Captain Akita looked at his watch and said to the signalman beside him: "You, pass the order immediately. Use this house as a node and let all the troops here attack to the east of the village. Be sure to stop the Eighth Route Army's night attack! I really didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army would choose to attack at this time!"

"Ha!" The Japanese signalman went to pass the order, and soon three small teams of Japanese soldiers received the order and gathered towards Niu Fengtai and his team.

"Go, inform our comrades to turn around and fight a defensive battle here. If we can't defeat them, we'll dig a tunnel!" Niu Fengtai knew that this was a fire reconnaissance and didn't want to fight the Japanese to the death.

So, after a while of gunfire, the soldiers of the guard platoon returned to Yin Xing's house, built new defense measures in every corner of the yard, and placed a sandbag wall at the gate. Don't ask where the sandbags came from. The answer is that there were some sandbags stored in the tunnel to block the entrance, and everyone brought them up to use...

With the defense measures in place, the three Japanese squads gradually surrounded this side. However, the expressions on the faces of the Japanese soldiers in these three squads were not very good, because in just a short battle of ten minutes, with Yin Xing's house as the center, the surrounding houses, more or less, there were Japanese soldiers killed, adding up to more than 50.

"Damn it, the Ogasawara team is probably all finished!" At this moment, this judgment came into the mind of a team leader.

"Baga, no wonder Captain Yamaguchi doesn't live in the village, it turns out the village is so dangerous!" At this time, Captain Akita also had this conclusion in his mind.

"Baga, that idiot Akita actually let the Eighth Route Army break into the village! Baga..." On the Mianyang Mountain in the south, Captain Yamaguchi cursed under his breath but his eyes glanced towards the direction of Weijia Village.

South of Weijia Village, on the small road close to Woniu Mountain, a squadron of Japanese soldiers was advancing carefully. That's right, the Japanese soldiers did not attack for a whole day, but chose to launch an attack when it was just getting dark, overlapping with the firepower test of the Eighth Route Army! Why did this happen? All this was actually a coincidence!
Captain Yamaguchi was transferred from the Second Mixed Brigade, so he was not very familiar with the situation of the team, which made him very cautious when making battle plans. For example, during the daytime today, they gave up the puppet army, but they also "kindly" dug a pit for them to bury.

What Yamaguchi had been waiting for was the situation of the other Japanese troops. In the morning, he received a telegram from the Japanese troops in the direction of Jingxing, informing him that he had been ambushed, and then there was no further news.

In the afternoon, he received reports from the Japanese in Zanhuang and Xiyang, and informed each other of their respective positions. Then, he found that although the friendly forces in Jingxing had stopped moving, the forces of Xiyang and Zanhuang were advancing by leaps and bounds, and they should have joined forces at this point!

He didn't want to work for the emperor, but he didn't want to be ordered to commit seppuku by the headquarters! So even though he had lost the news of the friendly forces in the Jingxing direction, he decided to attack and give it a try! Even if he wanted to escape, he had to escape only if he couldn't win, right? He came out intact and returned intact, while other friendly forces had achieved great results. How should he deal with it?

Then, the key point came - when to launch the attack? Based on the experience gained from repeated raids in Beiyue District, Captain Yamaguchi knew that the Eighth Route Army liked to launch sneak attacks at night, and the time was either around 1 o'clock or before dawn. Anyway, the Eighth Route Army did not attack much in the first half of the night, but only made noise and harassed. Since the Eighth Route Army in Beiyue District was like this, then the Pingdong District should also be like this!

So, the clever Yamaguchi chose this time point after dinner and sent a reorganized squadron of troops to attack the Eighth Route Army position in Weijia Village! Why this time? This is called doing the opposite of what they do. The Eighth Route Army likes to attack in the second half of the night, so they will probably sleep and conserve their energy in the first half of the night, and they will not expect us to attack at this time!

You know what, Guo Zhongmin really didn't expect the devils to come out and launch a sneak attack at this point! Of course, he was planning to launch an attack at this point, so he ignored the devil's attack.

So the situation came. He sent two platoons to Yinjiulang Village and the eastern end of Woniu Mountain to conduct firepower test, waiting for the reaction of the Japanese, and also testing the strength of the Japanese. What was the result? Before the two platoons came back, the Japanese had already reached the entrance of the village. Anyway, he really didn't expect it!
Of course, not expecting it doesn't mean there are no defensive measures! After all, the existence of sentinels is to prevent being attacked by the enemy! So when the Japanese soldiers walked forward along the path at the foot of the mountain, the sentry lurking in the wheat field to the east discovered something wrong. In the dim moonlight, the Japanese soldiers' helmets reflected a little moonlight, which was too obvious!
"Hurry up, go over there and report the situation to the captain! I'll fire here to attract the enemy's attention, and then we'll retreat directly to the village!" The two lurking sentinels thought about it for a while and made a decision. One went to report, and the other fired a warning shot.

The soldiers who were going to report were crawling forward in the wheat field, and the wheat stalks were shaking constantly, just like a python moving through the wheat field. The sentry who stayed behind watched his comrades disappear in the moonlight, and he raised his assault rifle in anger, and then put it down again.

He bent down, crawled westward, came to a ridge, and quickly used the small engineer shovel he carried with him to shovel the soil, built a small protective wall in front of him, and dug a single pit for himself to shoot from a kneeling position. Looking at the Japanese soldiers marching slowly more than 40 meters away, the sentry quietly moved to the north side of the single pit, and then took off the four grenades on his back.

The soldiers unscrewed the back covers one by one and pulled out the drawstrings, then placed the grenades on the ridge of the field, leaving only one in their hands.

Then, he pulled the rope and threw the grenade from his knees... While the grenade was still flying in the air, the second, third, and fourth grenades flew out one after another...

Boom boom boom... When the four grenades exploded, the sentry had already hidden in the individual pit with an assault rifle in his hand.

"Look over there, there are so many Japanese soldiers. Our sentinels have discovered their traces!" In the light of the grenade, the Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces, and this was also seen by Zhao Danian on Jigongling.

"Very good, very good, the Japanese are actually attacking! There is only one squadron of Japanese attacking, not enough for Lao Guo and his men to fight, so the heavy mortar company, fire at the Japanese positions on Mianyang Mountain! First, three rounds!" (End of this chapter)
