Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

According to the information from the original time and space in Li Yuexuan's mobile phone, the Japanese's sweep this time was divided into three echelons. They used the new "iron rolling" tactic, "rolling" from north to south, and then repeatedly clearing the Taiyue area from south to north, attempting to destroy the anti-Japanese base and establish a "mountain anti-communist experimental zone."

In order to deal with the Japanese raid, the Taiyue Military Region decided to disperse the main forces of the four military sub-districts into companies to carry out guerrilla warfare on the inside, and the main forces of the basic regiments switched to the outside, adopting a close coordination of the inside and outside lines to crush the Japanese raid. Of course, this was the most correct response without Li Yuexuan flapping his wings and without the participation of the Second Battalion.

However, this response method was once passive due to insufficient understanding of the Japanese's combat characteristics in the early stage. It was only after a thorough study of the Japanese's combat characteristics that the passive approach was turned into active.

However, things are different now. Although Taiyue District is not as close to Taihang District as it is to the water tower, the transportation channel across Baijin Railway and Taihang District still exists! Also because of the strategic location of Taiyue District, the headquarters still provides a lot of weapons support to Taiyue District!

At least, each military sub-district has a heavy mortar artillery battalion, and each basic regiment and main force regiment has a certain number of semi-automatic and light machine guns, as well as the self-produced Civilian 82 heavy machine guns and mortars. The key is that the bullets from the headquarters arsenal are also scattered here.

Therefore, the First Division was able to block the speed of the Japanese raid by resisting step by step in the early stage of the Japanese raid, and block the Japanese at the line between Congziyu and Hanhong. It also had the ability to withdraw the main force to the rear of the Japanese and attack their outer line.

If the Second Battalion had not joined in, the 38th Regiment, which was blocking the Japanese in the direction of Congziyu, would have gone straight west into the rear of the Japanese after completing the blocking and attacked the Japanese Tongpu Railway.

Now that the Second Battalion has arrived, the First Division has also changed its early combat plan and directly let the two main regiments that were supposed to jump out return, forming an important blocking node in Guodao Town. As for the 25th Regiment of the First Division, it is still dispersed in companies at the nodes south of Guodao Town. This is also a guarantee for the unsuccessful battle here, and it is also a force to deal with the other group of devils.

That’s right, the 69th Division had three groups of Japanese invaders. The southernmost group came from Huo County along a small path into the mountains. Their number of troops was less than 3000 and they were also being blocked at this time.

Now, of the three groups of devils, the largest group has been completely wiped out, with only the wounded and some baggage trains left. They can be dealt with in minutes! The smallest group in the middle has also been blocked by the 59th Regiment, and the special forces brought by the second battalion are taking the elite infantry to "bottom out".

"Here, this is the situation!" Commander Li of the First Division in Guodao Town pointed to the circled area on the map and said, "We are not actually worried about the Japanese and puppet troops in the south, because that is a mountainous area, the Japanese's ability to move is limited, and they are more likely to be blocked! The Japanese who are most likely to move south along the river valley have been eliminated by us along the way, and only the middle one is left!"

"Although there are few Japanese soldiers along this route, judging from the blocking situation along the way, not many Japanese soldiers died. It was the puppet army attacking in the front and the Japanese soldiers supervising the battle from the back. We used grenade launchers to kill dozens of Japanese soldiers. The most deaths were still the puppet army!" Political Commissar Gu said, pointing to the map.

"Xiao Guo, I know you have fought the Japanese all the way, and you are very proud of yourself, but you can't take the Japanese lightly, because this is a blocking battle, not an ambush! The Japanese still have some rules when fighting positional warfare! Fortunately, we are the defending side and have the advantage of terrain!" Commander Li said. "I understand what the two leaders said! But, the two leaders don't understand our firepower equipment, right? Our brigade has 60 new 24 mortars alone, and one heavy machine gun per platoon. This kind of firepower is enough to block the Japanese!" Guo Liandong said.

"I know you are well-equipped and eager to fight, but don't worry now. Take a break first and let the 59th Regiment block and consume the traitors and puppet troops brought by the devils. When we finally attack the main force of the devils, it will be time for your team to kill them! Well, now you can go to the rear of the 59th Regiment, or go west from the 59th Regiment's position and find a new battlefield."

"If you go west, there is a place called Qianxing Village west of the 59th Regiment's position. There is a 200-meter-wide ravine there, leading to the Qin River to the south. The exit is just on the west side of the 59th Regiment's blocking position. How about you go there? Or your regiment can hide directly in the mountains on the west side of the ravine, and when the general attack is launched, you can kill them one by one!" Political Commissar Gu asked in a negotiating tone.

"Okay, let's follow the opinions of the two leaders. We will go to the west and hide on standby. Let the 59th Regiment fight for a while. When the Japanese are almost wiped out, we will fight again! Then, what about our artillery company? Should it be established in its current location?" Guo Liandong asked.

"Let's stay in Gaolingzhuang for the time being. We can take care of the entire battlefield on the western front. We'll move when the general attack comes!" Commander Li made the final decision.

After further discussing the details of the next battle and the method of communication, Guo Liandong led the soldiers who had rested for more than half an hour up the mountain, and detoured westward directly from behind the 59th Regiment's position. After passing Qianxing Village, they continued westward and hid in the mountains.

After arriving at the designated location, Hu Yanlong said to Guo Liandong: "Captain, in this way, our position is not much different from that of the special forces, right? If we had known this, we might as well let the special forces follow us directly! Besides, our firepower and combat effectiveness are strong. Isn't it a bit slow to fight like this?"

"The commander of the First Division has good intentions! He let the 59th Regiment withstand the attacks of the Japanese and consume the manpower of the Japanese and puppet troops. In the end, we will fight. Isn't this taking care of us? Okay, tell the comrades, don't be arrogant, conserve your energy now, and fight hard when the battle starts!"

At this time, a signalman from the first company came running over to report: "Captain, we found more than 100 Japanese soldiers climbing up the mountain in the west. Our company commander analyzed that this seems to be the Japanese plan to build a position on this mountain!"

"What? The Japanese are going up the mountain?" Huyan Long and Guo Liandong looked at each other and saw the sparks of fighting desire in each other's eyes.

"Go, tell your company commander to kill the main force of the Japanese soldiers, and let three or five of them go back, and see if we can attract more Japanese soldiers to the mountain! Signalman, go to Gaolingzhuang opposite and transfer our artillery company over! The battle location was chosen for us by the First Division, but when it comes to the battle, the First Division has no say, hey..." (End of this chapter)
