Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

"Okay, Lao Kong, we have mobilized the strength of the entire detachment and the resources of Pingdong and Xidong counties to create such a fast-response combat team. You see, some of their soldiers are still using semi-automatic weapons, which shows that our armed strength is not enough!" Zhao Danian was also present to see them off. When he heard Kong Jie's words, he hurriedly said.

"Well, the arsenal doesn't lack these dozens of assault rifles, right? Why not replace them all with assault rifles? Submachine guns will do too." Kong Jie also noticed it and asked in a low voice.

"Ha, Old Kong, you are really, haha..." Hearing Kong Jie's question, Guo Zhongmin beside him laughed and said, "What you saw was a semi-automatic rifle, but in the eyes of the Japanese, these semi-automatic shooters are the king of death! Look at their team, are there any people using semi-automatic precision marksman rifles? They are specially used to protect machine gunners and grenade throwers!"

"And the remaining semi-automatic shooters are the precision shooters of the rocket launcher group and the assault group. They are responsible for killing the enemy at close and medium distances! As for submachine guns, they are used by the grenadiers and assaulters of the assault group. Of course, there are also some who use semi-automatic guns. They are the baggage soldiers and ammunition handlers on the battlefield, responsible for delivering ammunition to the front line."

"Also, look here, who are the medics and the cooks? Can you tell? The one carrying a submachine gun is a medic, and the one carrying a sniper rifle is the cook squad leader. This is the most elite squad in the entire company!" Guo Zhongmin's tone was a little envious, but also full of pride.

Kong Jie listened to Guo Zhongmin's words and asked himself: "Shouldn't the grenadier use a semi-automatic gun? Why is he using a submachine gun?"

"Well, at the beginning of the training, the grenade throwers used semi-automatic weapons, but later on, as more submachine guns were manufactured and bullets could be produced by themselves, both assaultmen were equipped with submachine guns and a large number of grenades. During the assault, the assault team leader used an assault rifle to coordinate in the middle, and the two assaultmen moved forward in a staggered manner, looking for a suitable position to throw the grenade. But the prerequisite is that the rocket launcher group and the grenade launcher group behind them give them a chance!"

"Hey, a company has 10 grenade launcher groups, 3 rocket launcher groups, 20 machine gun groups, and two mortar groups. With this firepower, the Japanese can't be stopped unless they send out a battalion for defense!" Kong Jie also saw the firepower composition of the rapid reaction company, made a judgment based on the actual situation, and made such a decision.

Listening to several people talking here, Hu Lanzhou stood upright beside them but listened silently. What if the equipment is good? What if the training is always very intense? What if all the soldiers are veterans and have records of killing the enemy? Aren't they still staying in the base and not allowed to go out? Without a face-to-face fight with the devils, no matter how good the training is, it seems meaningless.

Of course, Hu Lanzhou only thought about it in his heart. He knew that the Japanese would not sit idly by and watch the base develop. Their quick reaction company would finally have the moment to draw their swords! Therefore, Hu Lanzhou has been admonishing the soldiers of the quick reaction company that we must hide our swords and draw blood when we strike, otherwise the name of the quick reaction company will be wasted!

However, Hu Lanzhou was somewhat disappointed with today's mission. After all, he was going west with the New Second Regiment only to open up new opportunities, and there were probably few opportunities for real combat...

In Hu Lanzhou's expectation for the battle, the New Second Regiment set out, and the Quick Reaction Company followed. However, the trucks, sidecar motorcycles and other means of transportation were left in Weijia Village, and only the supplies belonging to the Quick Reaction Company were taken. Why? Because they had to pass through the area controlled by the devils in Ping'an County, and the trucks were too eye-catching, and it was not convenient to pass through at night. This is not because they were afraid of the devils and did not dare to fight, but the New Second Regiment has just experienced a march of hundreds of miles, and the soldiers' physical energy has been greatly consumed. It is not the time to fight. Moreover, although the New Second Regiment now has 1600 people, more than half of them are new recruits, and many soldiers are carrying red tasseled spears, which requires training at the garrison.

Therefore, it was the most uneconomical time to fight the devils, and that was the significance of sending the quick reaction company to help. When Hu Lanzhou and his team went there, in addition to helping control the reactionary forces around the base, they also had to help with training, which was not an easy job...

Three days passed in a flash. The new second regiment passed through the area between Ping'an County and Xiyang and arrived at Nianshang Town.

"Ha, I miss it!" When walking through Guangyang to the west of Nianshang Town, Kong Jie suddenly said, "In 37, we blocked the advancing enemy troops here and helped the 343rd Brigade to fight the second Guangyang ambush here, forcing the enemy to stagnate for seven days. In the end, they chose to continue westward from the north, covering the retreat of so many troops such as the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, the Central Army, and the Sichuan Army! In the end, Taiyuan was still lost!"

"At that time, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was still one of the most powerful warlords in the country. The reputation of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's Thirteen Guardians was well-known in North China. It is no exaggeration to say that it was a powerful force in North China!"

"But what about now? The Shanxi Suiyuan Army was beaten to such a small number of people, hiding in that small area of ​​Luliang Mountain, and being beaten by the devils from time to time! At that time, there were less than 129 people in our division (the 770th Division left the 8000th Regiment to stay in northern Shaanxi, and only more than people crossed the river), but now there are more than hundreds of thousands of people, much more than the number of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army! Moreover, the bases we control were all the bases of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army! Even the large bases in central Hebei and northern Henan can be seen in our division."

"This is really unpredictable! At the beginning of the war, our instructor suggested to Yan Laoxi that we should strengthen the defense of Niangzi Pass, otherwise the Japanese army would break through from there. But he not only didn't listen, but also urgently transferred the 196th Brigade away, leaving this area to the Central Army, Northwest Army, Sichuan Army and our division..."

"What happened next? The 196th Brigade fought a bloody battle in Yuanping, blocking the Japanese for 10 days and nights, and all of them died in Yuanping. With such a brave team in hand, the Japanese finally broke through from the Niangzi Pass!"

"In addition, in the early stage of the Xinkou Campaign, our 769th Regiment bombed the enemy's Yangmingbao Airport, the 120th Division cut off the railway line at Yanmenguan, and the 119th Division attacked Pingxingguan for the second time, cutting off another supply line! At that time, the more than 5 enemy soldiers led by the Itagaki Division were basically isolated, without artillery support, food supplies, and no air force!"

"If our instructor was in charge of this battle, and the generals were replaced by our regimental commanders, it would definitely be a full-scale counterattack, using the most powerful means. With 20 men fully mobilized, they would definitely be able to defeat the Itagaki Division with more than devils! In that case, the entire anti-Japanese war situation in North China could be stabilized or reversed! In the end, he retreated and let the devils recover!" (End of this chapter)
