Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

On the west side of Matan, at the headquarters arsenal, the Japanese reconnaissance plane flew back and forth several times, but then flew away helplessly, with even two bullet holes on the fuselage.

Although Li Yuexuan no longer works at the Arsenal, the influence he left on the Arsenal is still there! For example, the defensive fortifications of Yixiantian, at this time, there are two companies of the headquarters special forces regiment stationed here, and the air-raid shelter in the north is their headquarters and hiding cave. Of course, this is only part of it, there is also the aspect of air defense.

Because of the terrain of the arsenal, it was difficult for the Japanese bombers to drop bombs on the arsenal. Only the reconnaissance planes, which were slower and more flexible to operate, could swoop down at low altitudes to conduct reconnaissance and then take off. However, this also made the comrades in the arsenal extremely angry. You think you have a plane, right? What did the factory director say?

Oh, yes, set up some concealed machine gun fortifications on the surrounding mountaintops, and then carry out simple air defense. So, with the support of Minister Zhang, someone quietly built some heavy machine gun firing pits on several surrounding mountaintops and set up a simple air defense system.

These air defense facilities are actually very simple. Just choose a suitable hilltop on the top of the mountain, then hollow out a part of it, hide the Type 24 heavy machine gun inside, and arrange a heavy machine gun squad inside. Of course, this is just a simple saying. In actual operation, the top of the heavy machine gun fortification must have a thick enough protective layer, and the shooting holes must have vertical and horizontal air angles.

It was precisely because of these arrangements that, although the arsenal did not engage in direct confrontation with the Japanese in this anti-mopping-up operation, it was able to effectively curb the low-altitude reconnaissance of the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft.

Just today, the Japanese reconnaissance plane flew over the arsenal again without giving up, and as a result, two transparent holes were drilled in the fuselage by heavy machine guns.

"Baga, it was almost there, I almost died!" On the plane, the Japanese observer put his eyes on the bullet hole that had just been made and said while looking at the mountain tops outside.

"Sakuragi, don't worry, I will never leave the route again. Now let's contact the bomber formation and bomb the Eighth Route Army's positions!" said the pilot Akagi in front.

"Let's go! I'll call the bomber's radio! It's not easy. We, the Army Aviation Corps, were able to get the money from the officials at the base camp to install a radio. It's not easy!"

The two devils exchanged ideas with each other, flew away from the arsenal, and flew towards their bomber formation. The devil's army is very interesting. The navy and the army are in constant dispute, and the air force is the most unlucky. It can only rely on the two forces and cannot form an army of its own...

It was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The Japanese bombers kept bombing the mountains on the west side of Xijing Town, causing heavy casualties to the troops blocking the Japanese from advancing eastward. At this time, the Eighth Route Army really hoped that they had a few anti-aircraft guns and could be shot down by the Japanese bombers.

Seeing that the Japanese shamelessly used their air force, the deputy commander-in-chief was no longer obsessed with confronting the Japanese head-on, and ordered the blocking troops to retreat appropriately. The headquarters, the Northern Bureau and other units also moved to the northwest and into the mountains to avoid aerial reconnaissance by Japanese reconnaissance aircraft.

As a result, the pressure was put on Ding Wei and Li Yunlong! It was not the Japanese air force that put pressure on them, but the two troops had to ensure that the Japanese could not break through their defense line, anywhere. They were worried if a Japanese went over! However, what made everyone feel a little relieved was that there was a special operations battalion next to the headquarters, which could properly protect the headquarters.

How did the special operations battalion come about? Didn't Tianchuan and his team stay at the headquarters for a while, and helped the division train more than a thousand snipers and precision shooters? So when forming the armed work team behind enemy lines, they selected some experienced soldiers and formed a special operations team for the headquarters, with the purpose of countering the small-scale surprise attacks of the devil's troops.

The last time Yamamoto's special forces broke into the vicinity of the headquarters, it really scared everyone, and they didn't dare to let anything happen to the headquarters.

In the mountain sleeper berth, Ding Wei had just settled down here when he received a notice from the division headquarters. He felt anxious: "The headquarters has moved at this time? The route is the direction of Cross Ridge to our west? No, we must not wait here! Map, map, give me the map quickly!" Spreading out the map, Ding Wei tapped his fingers on the map, first found the location of the Qingta, and then followed the Qingta back and saw some good spots.

"Where is the guide? Who is familiar with this place called Sangshuguai?" Ding Wei asked, pointing to the location on the map.

"Sangshuguai? I know, I know. It's just to the east of our village. There are high mountains on both sides and a ditch in the middle..." said a villager.

"Okay, let's not rest, let's go to Sangshuguai!" Ding Wei led the team and walked eastward. After a few steps, they arrived at Sangshuguai. Well, it wasn't far, only about 1000 meters. After seeing the terrain clearly, Ding Wei and his team did not stop, but continued to the east, then turned south and went to the direction of Sangzhan.

"This place is not good. The Japanese have reached the fork in the road ahead. They may go north or south. It's hard to predict! Look east again... let's all run..."

The team continued to move eastwards, still in the ravine terrain, and there was a stream formed by springs flowing at the bottom of the ravine. After looking around, Ding Wei made a decision: "Go, evacuate all the people in Longdong Village, and don't let the militia stay in the village, let them evacuate to the north in the direction of Huanyu. We will set up an ambush in this ravine west of Longdong Village and eliminate the devils here!"

"Captain Ding, there is a spring there, it's called Longdong Divine Spring!" At this time, the guide interrupted at an inopportune moment.

"Longdong Divine Spring? Okay, after we kill these devils, we will take their heads to Longdong Divine Spring to offer sacrifice to the Dragon King!" Ding Wei said in cooperation.

"Well... okay..." Some of the guides were so excited that they danced with joy.

The ambush was not far from Qingta, only about 3 kilometers away. In order to ensure the safety of the ambush and to ensure that the Japanese would not split up and bypass it from other roads, Ding Wei also deliberately split the 9th Company and dispersed its three platoons to the three directions of Nan'aipu, Sangzhan and Laohugou, where there were some small roads suitable for small-scale sneak attacks.

Everything was arranged and the telegram was sent. Si Yong received the news and knew that his regiment commander had already arranged an ambush position.

"Okay, Lao Li, we can evacuate now!" In Qingta Village, which had been fighting the Japanese for a long time, Si Yong found Li Guohao and said.

"Evacuated? What's going on?" Li Guohao was puzzled, and then he heard the news from Si Yong.

"Okay, okay, then let's retreat! It's a pity to destroy such a good village. If the Japanese come, it will be a disaster! A lot of people died in the Japanese attack just now, and they will probably burn down the village!" said Li Guohao.

"The regiment commander said, don't worry about these jars and pots. We can fix them if they are broken, but we must achieve our goal, which is to destroy these damn devils!" Si Yong said firmly. (End of this chapter)
