Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

To the west of the ambush position, the third company was still attacking the enemy's artillery towers. Because the enemy did not trust the combat effectiveness of the puppet army, these artillery towers were small in scale, mostly small artillery towers where a small team was stationed, and about a platoon of puppet soldiers were guarding them underground.

Fewer troops means fewer firepower points, which means more gaps in defense, which means the three-company attack will be smoother.

Boom... The dull sound of explosions came from the west, and the echoes of the explosions were still echoing in the mountains, which made the devils even more anxious and the puppet soldiers also felt scared. Therefore, the devils urged even more, and the puppet soldiers' steps became more and more hurried, not paying any attention to the muzzles of guns sticking out from behind the mountain ridge in the south.

Bai Dabao was at the westernmost side of the position, and he was accompanied by several veterans with good marksmanship, which was considered a "benefit" of this outing. Please note that this "benefit" was not given to Bai Dabao, but to these veterans! After all, staying in the base, apart from training, training, or farming and building houses, where was the opportunity to kill the devils?
Now, with the rookie recruits out for combat training, the veterans naturally have the opportunity to show their talents! Killing the devils is a benefit for these comrades who have served as soldiers for more than four years, isn't it?

"Ahem..." Holding up the semi-automatic sniper rifle, Bai Dabao stuck the barrel out of the shooting hole, and the sniper scope naturally aimed at the head of a puppet soldier.

500 meters, 400 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters... Seeing that the Japanese and puppet troops had entered the ambush position and were close to the middle, Bai Dabao pulled the trigger... Bang...

The crisp sound of gunfire interrupted the rhythm of the Japanese puppet army's march and opened the prelude to today's battle. As the gunshot sounded, the Japanese captain Daqiao, who was walking at the back, suddenly had a ball of blood on his chest, and blood was still gushing out. That's right, Bai Dabao was one of the top ten marksmen in the Beishan detachment. He was not killed by his gun, so he had to at least kill a Japanese officer to do him justice.

Bang, bang, bang... Bai Dabao fired one shot but felt unsatisfied, so he pulled the trigger again, firing four bullets. Then, he stopped shooting and gave the opportunity to others. He couldn't stop shooting. With five bullets, he killed three Japanese soldiers with command knives and two Japanese soldiers with flags. If he continued shooting, he would only be able to shoot those nameless ghosts.

Well, what he was worried about was that if the beating was too harsh, then the point of training the new recruits would be lost.

Bai Dabao did the same, as did the other veterans who followed him. Each of them had a semi-automatic precision-shooter rifle, so they naturally aimed their guns at valuable targets, such as the puppet army's machine gunners, the puppet army's commanders, the Japanese machine gunners... In short, they had to shoot down the threatening Japanese first, and the rest was up to the new recruits.

This was how they behaved, and the veterans who were fighting with the new recruits behaved in the same way. Basically, everyone fired two or three shots and then stopped, and they also chose targets that posed a threat.

So, very quickly, in just a few seconds, all the Japanese soldiers in the team at the foot of the mountain were killed, most of the puppet army officers were killed, and the machine gunners were also killed.

Then, the veterans held guns in one hand and pointed at the puppet troops at the foot of the mountain with the other, and began to command the new recruits around them to shoot.

At this point, it was clear how big the difference was between the veterans and the new recruits! The veterans had finished shooting and even turned to instruct the new recruits, but there were still many new recruits who were hesitant and didn't shoot. So the veterans decisively took the lead in instructing the new recruits and taught them how to fight. "Second pair, shoot that guy, yes, that puppet soldier, aim at his chest, shoot, shoot... That's right, you are not afraid of anything, if you don't kill him, he will kill you!"

"Coyote, the machine gun is for you. Suppress it and shoot. Don't be afraid of wasting bullets. Just shoot like this! Suppress the machine gun and shoot at crowded places. Shoot in short bursts. Shoot in short bursts. Pay attention to the rhythm and the amount of ammunition!"

"How do you fire a grenade launcher? Watch carefully, hold it tight, look at the pointer on this little dial, this is the distance... pull the trigger... boom... it will go out..."

Under the diligent guidance of the veterans, the new recruits of Beishan Detachment finally started their first actual combat in their lives! Thanks to the veterans who killed most of the threats, and many precision shooters who were in control of the situation, otherwise, with the performance of the new recruits today, it is unknown what the result would be.

Fortunately, there were veterans watching the scene, and a company sent by Zhang Dabiao to back them up, so nothing went wrong. As the new recruits fired their bullets, the sound of gunfire on the battlefield became more intense. Although their marksmanship was not very good, and they did not kill many puppet soldiers for a while, it was already a good start.

Next, as long as the recruits adapt to the rhythm of the battle and overcome unnecessary emotions such as psychological tension, fear, intolerance, kindness, etc., then the recruits' first combat experience will be successful! What is the battlefield? It is a place for killing! It is a place where you kill people with weapons in your hands, skills you have mastered, and various methods!

On the battlefield, you don’t need mercy, compassion, or sympathy. You don’t need to think about whether your enemy is someone’s child, father, or husband. You don’t need to think about these things! Because, he is the enemy, the enemy who will kill you if you don’t kill him! You can reflect on those emotions in peacetime after the battle, but you don’t need to do that on the battlefield!
In particular, the Eighth Route Army stood on the side of the people, facing the invaders and their running dogs, the second devils! As the saying goes, the Eighth Route Army has a just cause. Killing the enemy is also protecting the people behind them and liberating the enslaved people. It has a great and correct direction.

As a result, the recruits became more and more skilled at shooting, and even when the puppet soldiers stopped firing back, they continued to shoot with excitement. Even though 10 out of 5 bullets missed, they still enjoyed it.

At the foot of the mountain, the number of puppet soldiers was getting smaller and smaller, and many of them simply demonstrated their innate skills to the recruits - hiding behind various shelters and pretending to be dead.

So, the whole battle ended hastily with the veterans calling for a halt and the puppet soldiers raising white flags in surrender.

In fact, the puppet army in Jucheng is not really an elite puppet army. It is far inferior to the regular puppet army that surrendered from the Central Army...

"Okay, veterans, go and receive the prisoners. Squad leaders, check if there are any wounded or sacrificed soldiers?" Bai Dabao issued the second order of the day. (End of this chapter)
