Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Comrades from Division 386 came to take away the equipment for the 386th Brigade... Well, they really took it away. As for whether they could keep some for their own use, it would depend on the arrangement of the Taiyue Military Region. After all, among the four divisions of the Taiyue Military Region, Division 212 was concurrently operated by the 17th Brigade, Division was concurrently operated by the First Death Brigade, Division was concurrently operated by the th Brigade, and Division was reorganized from the Henan-Shanxi Joint Defense Zone, which had the th Regiment.

Of course, no matter how it is changed, they are all under the leadership of the Party, and they are all brother units. If they have good equipment, they all have to share some of the profits. For example, of the 200 submachine guns brought, 50 for each branch?
Guo Liandong didn't care how to divide the things. He just had to bring the things there, because as the sky got brighter, a blocking battle (or possibly an ambush) was about to begin!

Guo Liandong did not stay at Taoshupo. Although this was a temporary headquarters, how could Guo Liandong stay here? At this moment, taking advantage of the light brought by the rising sun, Guo Liandong wandered on the mountaintop with a sharp tip in the south and river valleys on both sides, checking the positions of the four companies one by one.

The 8nd Infantry Battalion has companies, including infantry, artillery and reconnaissance companies. The reconnaissance company has hidden in the village in the west, the first company is on the mountain on the opposite bank, the sixth company is setting up positions and placing directional mines outside the village in the south, and the remaining infantrymen have also divided their positions on this mountain.

The second company was at the northernmost end, occupying the smallest area, but the fourth company had to guard its own artillery company position and also take care of the enemy troops coming from the west, so it had the heaviest task! Then, the third, fourth, and fifth companies were arranged in turn to the south. The soldiers dug individual pits on the hillside and dug a trench behind the ridge, turning the mountain into a position 1.5 kilometers from north to south and more than 200 meters deep from east to west.

"Comrades...are you all tired? I am tired and sleepy too, but we cannot rest just yet! Because, just to our northwest, the Japanese devils, with their puppet troops, have gathered a team of more than 2,000 people and are sweeping our base! Over in Congzi Valley, our troops have been fighting with the devils for a whole day and night! We are tired, but they are even more tired!"

"Comrades, hold on a little while, persistence is victory! Squad leaders, arrange for comrades to eat combat rations, and let comrades take turns to rest for an hour! The Japanese devils are only 6 kilometers away, and the comrades of Taiyue Division will resist step by step to buy us two and a half hours of rest time! Comrades, after half an hour, no matter how tired you are, cheer up!"

"Our Beishan Detachment has the best equipment, the most intense training, and has won many great victories! But comrades, our Second Infantry Battalion has nothing to do with these victories! And today is the time to prove ourselves! I won't tell you how to fight specifically, that's your squad leader's job."

"I just want to emphasize one point. The Japanese are coming. No matter if it's an ambush or a blocking attack, the moment the battle starts, empty your magazines! No matter if you have a 20-round semi-automatic magazine or a 30-round assault rifle magazine, empty them all! Grenade launcher team, don't just stand there and don't worry about anything else. First, give the Japanese team five grenades to let them have a taste of what's in store!"

"Grenadiers, remember this. In the first round of grenades, all of them will be pepper bombs for the Japanese! In order to support our military production, so many peppers have been crushed and sent to the arsenal and loaded into artillery shells. How can we not give them to the Japanese? Well, I won't say any more. Everyone, take a rest!"

In Congziyu, the soldiers of the 38th Regiment, who had fought fiercely for a day and a night, had received the order to retreat. While Guo Liandong was giving a pre-war speech, the comrades of the 38th Regiment quietly evacuated the village that had been bombed and destroyed, and quietly planted mines in the village to stop the pursuit of the Japanese.

"Captain, are we going to retreat like this? Is everything going to be alright?" Someone in the retreating team walked up to a stretcher, and the wounded on the stretcher asked. "Don't worry, comrades, we have fresh reinforcements this time, and they are well-equipped main forces! Now, our mission is accomplished. As long as the villages behind us can stop the Japanese once or twice, we can watch them being dealt with! By the way, when the stretcher team reaches the fork in the road, go directly north. There is a medical team over there with the reinforcements, and the military doctors can perform surgery. Our wounded can go there to treat them!"

"There's a medical team? The military doctor is here too? Haha, commander, this news of yours makes us happier than if you gave us a hundred semi-automatic rifles!" The wounded on the stretcher team said with a smile.

The 38th Regiment evacuated very quickly. They were the main force. Even after fighting for such a long time, the comrades still walked very fast. Of course, this was also related to the fact that they were going downhill all the way. After all, it was a gentle slope, so it was light and brisk...

The 38th Regiment evacuated, but the Japanese soldiers who were blocked in Congzi Valley were still kept in the dark. The Japanese soldiers never thought that the Eighth Route Army, who took the initiative to launch a surprise attack last night, would evacuate today!
So, after breakfast, the Japanese commanded the puppet army to attack the village. However, no matter how the puppet soldiers shouted and shot, the village remained quiet.

Finally, a puppet army officer discovered the clue. He was quite bold and led a platoon of puppet soldiers forward, and then arranged for the puppet soldiers to enter the village to check the situation... Finally, after 8 puppet soldiers were killed in the explosion and a delay of one hour, the Japanese finally confirmed that the Eighth Route Army in the village ahead had retreated!
In fact, neither the 38th Regiment nor the comrades in the First Division had expected the Japanese to be so cautious. Even an empty village could delay the Japanese for an hour. But if you think about it, the Japanese had only advanced a short distance in the previous ten days, so it makes sense.

"It's better if you come slower. If you come slower, our comrades can rest more!" Guo Liandong said at the artillery position on the top of the northern mountain as he listened to the news sent by the special forces via the radio.

"Captain, comrades from the special forces team said that they have caught up with the Japanese marching team. The Japanese are moving south from Congzi Valley. There are still Japanese left in Congzi Valley. They will send us the location of the Japanese at all times!" said a soldier holding a radio in front of Guo Liandong.

"Okay, tell Luo Wei to pay attention to the distance and not to be discovered by the Japanese! It doesn't matter if the distance is a little far, just tell us in advance!" Guo Liandong said.

"Yes... Hello? The captain said you should pay attention to your distance and don't let the devil find you... OK, call over!" Putting down the radio, the signalman grinned: "Captain, don't say it, the devil's new gadget is really easy to use, we can communicate at any time! Unfortunately, there are too few of them, only the special forces, quick reaction company and artillery battalion are equipped with them!" (End of this chapter)
