Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

"Baga, we, we must hold on here and never retreat!" Even though his head was buzzing from the shock, Captain Nakano still gave orders in a firm tone.

"Ha Yi, we will never retreat!" Some officers heard their captain's words and responded in unison.

"Haha, not bad, not bad. After these dozen shells, the Japanese soldiers have all become obedient and dare not wander around the village anymore!" On the west hill, Li Yunlong was very happy as he watched the smoke and dust produced by the explosion in the village. Although the civilians' houses were blown up, there were quite a few Japanese soldiers gathered in the houses, so the shells were not wasted.

"Report to the regiment commander!" At this time, Instructor Li stood up and said, "Commander, I think, since the village has been damaged to such an extent, we might as well blow up the entire village! You see, the village was previously bombed by the Japanese mountain artillery, and then by our heavy mortars, and the remaining houses are basically about to collapse!"

"Let's just blow up all the houses. After we defeat the Japanese, we'll clean up all the ruins, plan everything from underground to above ground, build tunnels and houses above, and build partition walls and stuff! Now it's the end of May, and there are still several months before the New Year. We can all move into new houses before the New Year!"

"It's a good idea, but we should leave some houses for the elderly and children to live in. You can rebuild the whole village while you demolish and repair them! Okay, you step back first. Monk, call Wang Xikui and the others over. I have a task for them!" Li Yunlong threw the cigarette butt at his feet and stepped on it to chase him away.

"Captain, are you looking for me?" Wang Xikui quickly appeared in front of Li Yunlong.

"Xizi, take your platoon and go to the eastern cliff and find a suitable position to snipe the Japanese in the village! I looked at it when I came up just now. It's no more than 300 meters away from the village. With your marksmanship and sniper rifles, you should be able to control every corner of this village!"

"When you get over there, don't rush to shoot. Once the entrance to our tunnel is dug, I will organize a full-scale attack. That's when you can show your power! Remember, before the general attack, I will have the artillery fire pepper bombs into the village! Although the wind is strong below and the power of the pepper bombs will be blown away, it will still have an effect!"

"And you, just snipe and kill those Japanese soldiers who have left their bunkers because of the smoke. Anyone who dares to show his head will be shot! But you have to be careful, our soldiers will also come out of the tunnel to fight, don't let them get hurt by mistake! All right, go ahead, this time we will attack from all directions, from the sky to the ground, from the mountains to the soil, and we will fight in a coordinated manner!"

"Yes, Commander!" Wang Xikui understood Li Yunlong's tactical routine and happily went to organize the troops.

"Zhang Dabiao, don't just sit there. Organize all the gunners in your battalion who are equipped with assault rifles, shotguns, Qi Lali light machine guns, and box guns. Gather them together to form a commando team! Once they are formed, have them go down to find Shen Quan and have Shen Quan assign them the task of attacking the village! Go..."

"Yes, Commander!" Zhang Dabiao turned and left.

"Shen Quan, how have you completed the task I gave you? Have you formed the underground commando team? I have transferred some people from the first battalion to you. You must fight well in the battle to start the war!" Li Yunlong said to himself.

In the village, in the tunnel, as the excavation continued, the passageway above his head became higher and higher, and the sacks under his feet were stacked into stairs. Ma Dabao stood on the top sack and carefully poked the last layer of soil with the Luoyang shovel. Then, he took the periscope in his hand and quietly poked it out from the round hole above his head.

After some observation, Ma Dabao withdrew the periscope and said to Captain Wang below with great satisfaction: "Captain, that's right, it's Guan Dahu's house, but it's in the west wing. I saw the iron pot with the rim missing from Dahu's house!" "That's good to have confirmed. Let's not move for now. Let's go back and report the situation, and then determine whether the other two tunnels have been dug. Everything will be decided after everything is confirmed!" Captain Wang said.

Soon, someone with quick feet ran out of the village and reported the situation to Shen Quan. Shen Quan had two people waiting there. When they saw the soldier who came to report, they immediately asked him to tell them the location of the excavation. After confirming it, Shen Quan said to the three soldiers, "You go back to the village first. I will give you half an hour to work and dig the tunnel entrance!"

Looking at the soldiers running away, Shen Quan turned to the rear of the position and looked at the 240 newly organized commandos with a satisfied smile: "Comrades, the tunnel will be dug soon, and you can enter the tunnel! Now, the captain and combat leader of each commando team come over and show you the map!"

"This is the layout of the houses in the village, which was brought down by the battalion commander! It has been confirmed that the exits of the tunnel are at these three houses. Each of your teams must determine the location of their own exits, and then assign the directions they need to go. Don't let your own people fight with each other!"

Seeing the three assault team leaders studying the map, Shen Quan called over the signalman, gave him another layout map, and asked him to deliver it to Li Yunlong so that his own regiment commander would also know the specific location and make the best arrangements.

On the mountain, Li Yunlong looked at the distribution map and said nothing, but asked someone to give the distribution map to Wang Xikui and his men at the eastern cliff. Wang Xikui and his men needed to know the location of the exit, so that they would have a target when sniping.

Time passed slowly, and the sky gradually darkened. However, during this period of time, the preparations were not delayed at all, and everyone entered the battle position, waiting for the general attack to begin.

Outside the village, a signalman ran out of the tunnel and informed Shen Quan of the preparations. Then, Shen Quan picked up the phone and informed Li Yunlong of the matter.

"Now that we are almost ready, let's get started! Xiao Qi, order the artillery and grenade launchers to fire the pepper bombs!"

Chirp, chirp, chirp... Boom, boom... Li Yunlong gave an order, and grenades of all sizes were fired into the village from the west and north. Then, the whole village was shrouded in thick chili smoke.

"Cough cough cough..." Some Japanese soldiers who couldn't bear it anymore emerged from their hiding places.

"Shoot..." On the West Hill, looking at the Japanese soldiers illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun, Wang Xikui whispered and pulled the trigger.

Bang... Bang, Bang... Bullets were fired down from the mountain, and the Japanese soldiers who showed their figures in the village were shot and fell to the ground one after another.

In the north of the village, Shen Quan looked at the thick smoke in the village and waved his hand: "Heavy machine guns open fire, full-scale attack!" (End of this chapter)
