Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

The Japanese troops coming from Nanguan Town in the west are no longer in Han Hong's area, but are blocked near Chengbi 5 kilometers to the east. According to the latest telegram contact, the 59th Regiment's blocking team will gradually withdraw, and then let the Japanese troops drive straight in and block them in Guodao Town.

The special forces only needed to run 5 kilometers southwest along the ravine west of Jinshang Village, then climb over a few hills and go southeast along the mountain road to reach Dinghu Village in the Qin River Basin, just north of Chengbi. This was a small, roundabout force of 212 people, with a 60 mortar, no heavy machine guns, but a lot of light machine guns, assault rifles and submachine guns.

In short, this route is the size of a reinforced company, and each of them is a good shooter, which can fully play the role of a surprise force, and can play a big role if used well! The bad point is that this route requires climbing mountains and crossing ridges to make a big detour, and it is at least 15 kilometers away to reach the designated point.

Fortunately, whether it is the special forces or the reconnaissance company, the soldiers are the best runners, and this mountain road is not as intense for them as their usual training.

The special forces team set off, and the second battalion also set off, but a few veterans were left behind from each company to clean up the battlefield with the ammunition soldiers from the artillery platoons of each company. The ammunition soldiers were all new recruits who needed to be trained on a battlefield where more than 2,000 people died, and the veterans stayed behind to give the new recruits some spiritual hope. After all, the veterans were most familiar with them and could help them vent their emotions in a timely manner.

As for the new recruits staying, how can they take away the shells? Didn’t the 386st Division take away the “gift” for the th Brigade? Isn’t there still a single battalion? With so much load space, they can easily take away the artillery shell boxes…

There is a 5-kilometer mountain road from the current battlefield to Guodao Town, but it is not too tiring all the way south!
While the Second Battalion was heading south, the Japanese soldiers on Cheng Bi's side were also heading east, and their distance from the Second Battalion was not much different. It was like the Second Battalion and the Japanese soldiers were both walking on the two sides of a right triangle, and their destination was the right angle. The right angle was where Guodao Town was located, and part of the Hongzhao Detachment of the First Division and the 59th Regiment were guarding there.

The team of the Second Battalion walked very fast, almost jogging all the way to the south. At this time, the comrades of the 59th Regiment were ready for battle, and the comrades of the Hongzhao Detachment, who were responsible for blocking the enemy at every step, also ran past the position of the 59th Regiment in front of the devils and ran into the town of Guodao.

The leaders of the First Division already knew the situation in the north and knew that the Japanese from Congzi Valley had been eliminated in the river valley southeast of Jinshang Village, so they were in a good mood at this time. Especially standing on the high ground of Guodao Town, they could see the fully armed Second Battalion running, and they were in a better mood! With this capable new force joining, the rest of the things would be much easier!

"Comrades, fight..." Just when the comrades from the Second Battalion arrived at the north of Guodao Town and met with the comrades from the First Division, the comrades from the 59th Regiment started fighting on the banks of the Qin River west of the town!

The Japs were chasing the Eighth Route Army, but their numbers were not large, only two small teams of Japs with about a hundred puppet soldiers.

These Japanese puppet soldiers watched helplessly as the Eighth Route Army they were chasing ran past the position in the valley. Naturally, they were unwilling to accept this, so they also chased after them. As a result, 6 heavy machine guns fired at them, and an unknown number of rifles were shooting at them. So, in just a few minutes, except for a dozen Japanese who escaped, the rest fell to the ground. Of course, the puppet soldiers who fell were not necessarily dead, just like small animals would pretend to be dead when they encounter danger, the puppet soldiers seemed to have mastered this skill!
This is not the battle that just ended in the north, because it is all gunfire, so it is easier to pretend to be dead! On the 38th Regiment side, which is cleaning up the battlefield, there are no Japanese or puppet soldiers pretending to be dead. There is no other way, there are grenade launchers bombing, 60 mortar bombing, and pepper bombs... pretending to be dead? Pretending to be dead is really dead...

"Okay, comrades, get ready to hide. The Japs have two Type 59 infantry guns and they will probably bomb us with them later!" On the mountain west of Guodao Town, at the th Regiment's command post, the regiment commander was reminding his comrades to avoid artillery fire.

"Commander, the comrades from the Beishan Second Battalion are here. They said they want to build an artillery position behind us and place observers at our command post!"

"Then let them come up! What about the comrades from the Second Battalion? If the cats are willing to come up, let them come up and we will fight together!" The commander of the 59th Regiment was very open-minded and did not feel that the enemy was being robbed at all.

"The comrades from the Second Battalion said they would be there soon. They also said they needed to take a break and rest. They also told us to take it easy so as not to kill all the Japanese at once or scare them away..."

Hearing the signalman's embarrassed tone, the cadres of the 59th Regiment laughed out loud.

"Haha... We like this tone! Well, let's fight slowly and let the Japanese come!" The commander of the 59th Regiment said this, but his eyes were gleaming with hatred.

The comrades of the Second Battalion were certainly not really taking a breather, but waiting, at least to delay the battle and buy some time for the special operations team. Although Guo Liandong did not dare to say what the next battle would be like, he firmly believed that as long as the Second Battalion went up, the devils would be finished!
Chengbi Village, the Japanese had just occupied this place and were looking for the entrance to the tunnel in the village. However, this place was close to the river, and there were not as many tunnels as the Japanese imagined. There was only one tunnel close to the foot of the mountain in the north, and it could only lead to the river not far from the village. However, this tunnel was not used because the Japanese had just swept and the people here had moved away.

After the escaped Japanese reported the situation in Guodao Town, the Japanese Major Yamanouchi, who was in charge of this route, hesitated for a moment before ordering the Imperial Army to continue to attack eastward, while the more than 400 troops of the headquarters temporarily rested at Chengbi's side. There were not many Japanese on this route, only two infantry squadrons plus an artillery squad and a baggage squad, and the puppet army was also a battalion of the Imperial Army.

Now, after more than ten days of fighting, the Imperial Army has lost more than 400 soldiers, while the Japanese have only lost more than 40 soldiers. This is entirely because they are using the puppet army to advance. At this moment, Major Yamauchi continued to use the puppet army as the vanguard! The Imperial Army is all Chinese. They can die if they want. As long as the soldiers of the Empire are fine, it's fine! As long as the soldiers of the Empire are there, the combat effectiveness will not be greatly reduced.
