Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Even if a company is elite, facing an enemy five times its number at once is somewhat bold! Of course, there were even more fierce ones during the founding war! For example, in the Tieyuan blocking battle, our ancestors used 9000 light infantry to resist the attack of 5 armored heavy infantry and bombers of the Eagle Sauce for three days and three nights, creating a miracle in the history of light infantry combat.

And now, the quick reaction company is only facing the Japanese light infantry, and even their equipment, ammunition, and troop quality are higher than those of the Japanese... Well, Hu Lanzhou is indeed brave and confident!
East of Baiyu Village, due to the terrain, Sanjiao River is a little wider here. There are more than 100 meters of fertile fields on both sides, and wheat seedlings are growing at this time. Beyond the wheat fields on the east side of the river, there is a small high ground with ridges and ditches. There are two infantry squads without precision shooters and a heavy machine gun guarding here. In addition, there are 30 militiamen here, who are also auxiliary defense personnel.

As more than 400 Japanese soldiers swarmed in from the south, the commander Fu Quan, who was in charge of the command on this small hill, did not let everyone open fire immediately, but ordered the soldiers to continue to hide. Because there was no way to grow crops here, the soldiers could use the sour jujube, vitex and other plants growing on this hill to hide themselves.

The reason why Fu Quan did this was not to destroy Xiao Liang's position. After all, he also had a third squad in his own platoon, and he could not do such a thing.

The reason why he did this was, of course, to expose himself when necessary and deal a fatal blow to the Japanese.

At this time, the Japanese had already discovered the position where Xiao Liang and his men were! In other words, Xiao Liang and his men did not hide themselves, and took the initiative to expose themselves when the battle in the west started.

Boom boom boom... In order to attract the attention of the Japanese, two heavy machine guns of the Type 500 started firing when they were still more than meters away from the Japanese. Therefore, the Japanese focused their attention on the position where Xiao Liang was. Because of this, the Japanese mostly concentrated on the west side of the ditch, and divided into several attack groups in small teams, launching attacks from the valley towards the main position.

Not only that, some heavy machine guns that followed the Japanese army were set up on some stone ridges on the west side of the ditch, firing back at the main position to cover the Japanese attack.

At this time, Xiao Liang only had 4 infantry squads without precision shooters, 2 heavy machine gun squads, combat personnel directly under the company headquarters, and 49 remaining militiamen. Such a force was naturally pitifully small compared to the number of the Japanese, with a total of only more than 100 people. Even the shotguns carried by the militiamen were not on the main position.

But even so, Xiao Liang and his men did not panic, because just when the two Japanese squads broke out of the attack group and reached a distance of more than 200 meters from the main position, an explosion suddenly rang out.

Boom... Boom... Boom... The directional mines placed in the bushes by the river valley were decisively detonated by the soldiers on the mountain. As the directional mines exploded, countless steel balls whizzed past and directly covered the more than 100 Japanese soldiers who rushed over. There is no need to say how powerful the directional mines are. At the moment of the explosion, the lives of these Japanese soldiers who were covered were basically declared over.

"What? Stop, suspend the attack..." There were some sober officers in the Japanese army. Seeing that so many people were lost in an instant, they wanted to stop the attack.

However, some things are not what the devils want! Just when the devils gradually slowed down their offensive and planned to take it slowly, all the firepower points on the main position opened fire. Immediately, 8 Qi-pulling light machine guns, 12 assault rifles, and 12 submachine guns opened fire together. Even the militiamen opened fire with various weapons. Amid the gunfire, 4 grenades flew up and went straight to the heavy machine guns behind the devils, easily destroying three heavy machine gun positions. In a short time, a position that was considered a reinforced platoon had a firepower intensity exceeding that of a standard battalion! And such firepower intensity really scared the devils.

"Baga, where are our artillery? Where are our grenade launchers? Bomb, bomb the heavy machine guns on the opposite side..." Officers in the Japanese army began to shout. The Japanese grenade launcher soldiers were also not vague, raising their hands to aim, and wanted to find a place to set up the grenade launcher for bombing.

Of course, the grenade throwers on the main position in the north would not just sit there and watch. After blowing up the heavy machine guns, they began to look for "comrades" among the Japanese troops who were as numerous as flies.

Interestingly, when the grenade launchers on both sides were about 300 meters apart and confirmed each other's presence, it was often the grenade launcher on the mountain that fired the grenade first, and the Japanese side could only take the blast. Well, the Dinglong grenade launcher was a smoothbore, while the Japanese grenade launcher was a rifled one. The Dinglong grenade launcher only needed to adjust the angle of the barrel to determine the firing distance, while the Japanese grenade launcher had to tighten the screws.

Therefore, whether in terms of the speed of placing grenades or the speed of firing, the Type 89 grenade launcher cannot compare to the Dinglong grenade launcher. The key is that the range and accuracy are also not comparable!

The battle continued, and the sound of gunfire spread far away, which made the main regiment, which was marching quickly in the north, also hear the sound vaguely, so they ran more anxiously. The comrades in the main regiment knew that at this time, the quick reaction company must be fighting a bloody battle with the devils, and they had to support them quickly.

When the battle lasted for nearly 10 minutes, the Japanese who attacked Xiao Liang's main position received reinforcements again. That's right, Major Morita in the back had reinforcements, and two infantry squadrons rushed to reinforce. At the same time, the two Type infantry guns that had been brought along had also deployed their positions, and the artillerymen were now measuring the distance.

"It's time! Comrades, fight!" Seeing the two subsequent infantry squadrons of the Japanese attacking, Fu Quan, who was hiding in the east, finally gave the order to attack.

Boom boom boom... Da da da... Instantly, a heavy machine gun, two grenade launchers, four light machine guns, and six assault rifles fired at the same time, opening a gap in the flank of the Japanese. That's right, a bloody gap was opened in the Japanese attack team with bullets and grenades.

"Baga, there are Eighth Route Army over there. Oshima, Nakano, your squad, attack over there!" Seeing that dozens of people were killed by the Eighth Route Army at once, the Japanese commander allocated his troops.

"Follow me... I'll kill you..." Although the two squads of Japanese soldiers were not fully manned, they still had nearly a hundred men. They turned their guns and fired at Fu Quan. For a moment, bullets flew everywhere, breaking branches and causing earth and rocks to fly everywhere on the high ground where Fu Quan and his men were. (End of this chapter)
