Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

In fact, the leaders of the First Division had good intentions. They clearly wanted the Second Battalion to gain more military merits. However, they misjudged the mood of the people who had not fought in a war for several years!
Therefore, the Second Battalion, which was located west of the 59th Regiment's position, did not stay at the designated position, but moved a few hundred meters to the west. As a result, they ran into the team in the mountains!
Logically speaking, the Japanese were the attacking party and should have launched an all-out attack in order to capture Guodao Town. However, when Major Yamauchi could not contact the team in the north, he had a bad guess in his mind. In addition, the initial pursuit team was quickly eliminated, and the subsequent attacking team reported that a regiment of the Eighth Route Army was guarding Guodao Town...

In short, in line with the principle of being prepared, Major Yamauchi came up with the idea of ​​building a position on the mountain north of Chengbi! Yamauchi's idea was: with this position, once the attack was frustrated, there would still be room for maneuver, at least they could rely on this position to hold on and deal with the counterattack of the Eighth Route Army...

Therefore, the mountain interior, which was trying to be stable, and the second battalion, which was trying to fight, saw the Japanese on the top of the opposite mountain on the ridge. At this time, the Japanese had stopped climbing the mountain and were busy on the top of the other mountain.

"Company commander, the captain said..." The signalman ran back and told Guo Liandong's order. The company commander Wei Xuewu understood Guo Liandong's idea. So he called the four platoon leaders to the position facing the enemy and said, "Now we are on the east side of the enemy. The enemy is facing the light and has not discovered us!"

"Now, let me arrange the battle! First platoon, you build a heavy machine gun position on this side of the ridge. Second and third platoons, you leave the heavy machine guns and shotguns behind, and then all head south and go around the small path in the south! Artillery platoon, you set up artillery positions behind the first platoon! When the fight starts, the first platoon will fire at full force to attract the Japanese's attention."

"Remember, all three heavy machine guns should open fire to show your strength and see how the Japs react! If the Japs attack, let them come over. There is an open space under this ridge. If the Japs get over there, it will be the best range for the shotgun. If the Japs run away without fighting, the second and third platoons will encircle them, and the artillery platoon will bomb them hard!"

"If the Japanese retaliate with their built positions on the spot, then don't say anything. The artillery platoon will first send a wave of pepper bombs, and then send three waves of explosive and fragmentation bombs to cover the three platoons to attack together! Okay, it's that simple, the rest is up to you to handle! I will put the company headquarters on the north side of the artillery platoon's position, and the direct subordinate teams of the company headquarters will follow me to serve as the guards of the artillery platoon!"

"Understood!" The four platoon leaders looked at each other and answered in unison.

The tactics were arranged, and the only thing left was to mobilize the troops! To build the heavy machine gun position, because it was on the top of the mountain, the soldiers directly dug a small platform on the side of the mountain ridge facing the Japanese, and then measured the height so that the barrel of the heavy machine gun could be higher than the mountain ridge, and there were no rocks in front to block the firing range. As for the shotgun, they simply put it behind the mountain ridge and left it alone, and they could fire when the time came.

At the same time, a row of soldiers dug a shallow individual pit for each soldier to shoot in the prone position, which was also a way to ensure safety.

Of course, the most important ones are the second and third platoons. They move quickly along the path, out of sight of the Japanese, and move diagonally toward the Japanese's side and rear, clearly intending to cut off the Japanese's connection with the main force down the mountain. These two platoons are actually a bit dangerous, because if they fail to defeat the Japanese on the mountain in a short period of time, they will easily be hit in the back by the Japanese down the mountain when a confrontation occurs.

But we have mortars and our main force is in the east, so there is nothing to be afraid of!
At this time, we can see the influence of the weather and the terrain! Because it was morning, the sun was not high in the east, and it was glaring to the Japanese. Therefore, the movement here did not affect the Japanese. They were still digging on the hilltop in the west, and it seemed that they were going to build a circular fortification...

While the Japanese soldiers were working hard, the comrades of the first company had already moved to their positions, waiting to launch the attack. While the first company was moving, Guo Liandong was not idle either. He ordered the captains of the second and third companies to move their teams southward, then move diagonally westward, and form a battle line again to the south of the second and third platoons of the first company.

The soldiers of the second and third platoons who discovered this situation all smiled knowingly. Now they were really safe! What? There are more than 100 Japanese on the top of the mountain, and we also have more than 100 people. Didn’t you see that the comrades in the assault team have already moved to the bottom of the mountain where the Japanese are? The comrades in the assault team have submachine guns and assault rifles, and the firepower is enough to give the Japanese a hard time! "Okay, let's start!" The first company commander also saw the movement of his own team. After thinking that there was no problem, he waved his hand and ordered to start fighting.

"Shoot..." On the ridge where the first platoon was located, the platoon leader shouted loudly, raised his semi-automatic sniper rifle, and fired at the butt of a Japanese soldier.

Bang, bang... The sound of his gunshots was drowned out by the sound of the three Type 24 heavy machine guns firing. However, the platoon leader, who had good eyesight, saw that blood was spurting out from the middle of the buttocks of the Japanese soldier he hit. It looked like he was probably not going to survive...

Boom boom boom... Da da da... A row opened fire. Three Type 24 heavy machine guns and three Qi Lali light machine guns fired a string of bullets. Then there were semi-automatic and assault rifles firing. The sound was deafening.

The straight-line distance between the two sides is not far, only about 350 meters, so these guns can reach the enemy on the opposite side. Well, the shielding hand holding the submachine gun is a bit blind, and now it seems that there is nothing I can do...

Although a platoon was a platoon, with so much firepower, more than 20 Japanese soldiers on the other side of the mountain were killed immediately. The remaining Japanese soldiers quickly threw away their tools, picked up their rifles, and lay down in the newly dug pit, trying to resist. Not to mention, in terms of not fearing death and daring to fight to the death, the Japanese soldiers can really be ranked first in the world.

Seeing this, Wei Xuewu decisively shouted: "Artillery platoon, blow them up! Fire the pepper bombs first! Platoon leader, where are your grenade launchers? Blow them up together!"

Upon hearing the order from his company commander, the second gunner of the artillery platoon let go, and the pepper mortar shell in his hand slipped on the spot, then bounced back in the gun barrel.

Boom, boom, boom... The mortar shells flew out. The second gunner released his hands that were covering his ears, took a new mortar shell from the ammunition man, checked the safety and model, and reloaded it again.

At the same time, the three grenade launchers in the first row, as well as the grenade launchers in the second and third rows, fired their grenades at the hill where the devils were. The hill where the devils were was only a shallow layer of soil, so these mortar shells and grenade launchers could effectively kill them.

Of course, the most exciting thing is the pepper bomb, because the smoke of the pepper bomb spreads and covers the hilltop, and the combat effectiveness of the devils will inevitably be affected. After all, the devils will not work with gas masks, and these devils don't have gas mask equipment... Well, the devils are getting poorer and poorer... (End of this chapter)
