Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

That’s right, the Japs have divided their troops. Divided their troops!
Well, this is actually nothing to be surprised about. The Japanese like to disperse their forces to attack. This is the normal state of the Japanese. And today, the Japanese army's marching route is the same as everyone's analysis, which is to go east along the straight mountain road and then turn back to the north. But this does not conflict with the Japanese sending two teams to conduct reconnaissance in advance.

It is very common to send out a small force deep behind enemy lines to conduct advance reconnaissance of the destination to be reached!

The Japanese divided their forces, so naturally they could not hide the situation from the reconnaissance post on the small hill. Naturally, the situation was reported to Hu Lanzhou and Xiao Liang, who were directing everyone to lay mines on the mountain road east of the village.

"Hey, we analyzed it over and over again, but we never expected that the Japanese would split up their forces and advance. That's why this happened!" Xiao Liang took off his hat with a little annoyance and pulled his head with his hands.

"What do you call this? This is called plans cannot keep up with changes! In fact, it's nothing. Just two small groups of Japs coming over. It's nothing! According to the route and speed, this group of Japs will not arrive much earlier than their main force." Hu Lanzhou said nonchalantly.

"That's not good! If the Japanese do this, a fight will break out on our side, and those Japanese soldiers who were sent out will just attack us from the flank, and we will be attacked from both sides!" Xiao Liang said.

"Old Xiao, you are talking about the general situation, but don't forget who we are? We are the rapid response company whose individual strength is second only to the special operations team! This matter is actually very easy to handle. Old Xiao, you lead the people to continue to bury mines, dig bunkers, and deploy directional mines here. I will organize the sniper team of the company headquarters, as well as the backbone and precision shooters of the first and second platoons."

"When the fighting starts, you will lead the main force here to stop the Japanese; and I will take these backbones to practice shooting with those Japanese soldiers who have been separated!" Hu Lanzhou said with a relaxed smile.

"Okay, that's a good idea! Then you can bring more people, at least 30 people, that way it will be safer!" Xiao Liang said.

"No need, 20 people are enough! The sniper rifles we have are equipped with sniper scopes. If we can't kill the enemy with one shot within 500 meters, let alone a quick counterattack! Okay, you go ahead, I'll go and call the troops!" After Hu Lanzhou finished speaking, he went to call the troops himself. As a company commander, he knew the situation of his soldiers very clearly, and the 20 sniper rifles were quickly called.

Without further ado, Hu Lanzhou led his men, including himself, 20 people with extremely accurate shooting skills, back to Baiyu Village along the mountain road, then headed southwest and dispersed on a ridge. This was the only way for the devils to pass through, and it was also an ideal place for shooting, very suitable for giving the devils a lesson here.

At the same time, Xiao Liang, who had separated from Hu Lanzhou, took the signalman to a secluded place and informed Zheng Changfeng in Bishi of the latest situation.

On the Bishi side, Zheng Changfeng started to analyze the map after receiving the call. In less than a minute, he laughed: "Haha, the Japs are actually here! There is nothing to say. Order, everyone, abandon the baggage that is not related to the battle and hand it over to the local militia for care! All of us, take the necessary combat supplies and run forward! Target, the direction of Shiquan Village!"

Zheng Changfeng knew that the opportunity was coming. As long as he caught up with the Japanese and blocked the gun behind them when they were exchanging fire with the quick reaction company, he would surround them and wipe them out in one fell swoop! Therefore, he asked the team to abandon backpacks, food, marching pots and other supplies that had nothing to do with the battle, and let the team run quickly.

Fighting is not a simple math problem; it is full of changes and it involves human lives.

While the main force was marching forward, the Japanese troops had already reached the northern corner of Hougou. Luo Zhaodi, who was on the Hougou side, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Japanese vanguard turn north, knowing that today's matter was half settled. That's right, as long as the Japanese were not heading towards Hougou, they would be surrounded. "Everyone, keep quiet, listen to my command, and don't open fire casually!" Luo Zhaodi was worried and afraid that something might happen, so he reminded everyone.

No one responded to Luo Zhaodi's order, because the order was to keep quiet. So, under the gaze of dozens of eyes, the Japanese troops came from the west one by one, turned north, and no one looked towards the south.

"One, two, three... two hundred and five... three hundred and six... four hundred and seven..." Luo Zhaodi counted the number of Japanese soldiers who had passed by, and also calculated the time. It was getting dark now, and if the battle didn't start, it would be two hours at most before we could see anything.

At this time, sporadic and rhythmic gunshots were heard from the mountain west of Baiyu Village.

"What?" Hearing the sound of gunfire that was not from a Type 38 rifle, Major Morita, who happened to be riding his warhorse to the corner of the back ditch, could not help but stop his horse to observe, and even raised a telescope.

From his observation, the two squads of Japanese soldiers were urgently dispersing to both sides of the mountain road, and some of them raised their guns and aimed at their targets. However, these Japanese soldiers who raised their guns and aimed at their targets often had blood burst out of their bodies before they could find their targets and then fell to the ground.

On the small hill west of Baiyu Village, Hu Lanzhou, holding a semi-automatic sniper rifle in his hand, did not command the battle. Instead, he naturally turned the muzzle of the gun, placed a Japanese soldier at the center point of the sniper scope, and decisively pulled the trigger.

Bang... When his gunshots rang out, gunshots also rang out in different places in front of him, behind him, and beside him. With each series of gunshots, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers in front of him fell down.

The soldiers of the quick reaction company are not the best in the Beishan detachment, because there is a special operations team in front of them. But the soldiers of the quick reaction company are much better than other troops in terms of shooting skills and equipment!

Therefore, Hu Lanzhou led 20 precision shooters, using 11 precision shooter rifles and 10 ordinary semi-automatic rifles, and in just three minutes, he wiped out most of the Japanese troops. Because the Japanese were alive and knew how to hide, Hu Lanzhou was not sure that all the Japanese had been eliminated.

"Okay, the battle here is over! Zhang Liang, take five soldiers and guard here to prevent any surviving Japanese from causing trouble! The rest of you, follow me to the east!" Hu Lanzhou didn't care about this side. Seeing that the Japanese in the east had become alert and took the initiative to come towards the direction of Baiyu Village, he took most of the precision shooters and returned to the position in the east.

The six soldiers, including Zhang Liang, who were left behind, were there to ensure that their flanks would not be attacked by the devils! Although the six soldiers were not many in number, they had superb marksmanship and were equipped with precision marksman rifles, which was enough to control this area.

On the highest hill in the east of Baiyu Village, Xiao Liang also saw the battle in the west and was proud of his company's excellent marksmanship. So, even if more than 400 Japanese soldiers swarmed towards this side to attack, he didn't take it seriously. The Japanese soldiers wanted to attack us? Let's get through the minefield in front first! (End of this chapter)
