Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Although they ran into the Japanese by accident, the Second Battalion did not fight hastily and even had a good method. Just when the battle started, the signalmen finally called the command post of the First Division of Taiyue and informed them of the situation.

After listening to the signalman's words, Commander Li glanced at the map and said, "Old Gu, I bet that Comrade Guo Liandong's Second Battalion did follow our advice and headed west, but the extent to which they headed west may be a bit too far, about five or six miles!"

"Isn't it? Look at the hill where the battle took place. It's on the hill west of Yangjiayu. Two miles ahead is Chengbi! But it's okay. There are more than ten ridges running north and south over there. If the Japanese had built fortifications there, it would have been difficult for us to defeat them! Now, the main force of the Japanese has run into one of the strongest guerrilla brigades in our army. It's a head-on confrontation!"

"Now that the fight has started, let's not maintain the current state. Let the 59th Regiment open fire on all fronts to pin down all the puppet troops and prevent the devils from getting reinforcements! Damn it, we've been bullied by the devils for more than ten days, it's time to hit them hard! Order, the 59th Regiment opens fire on all fronts to pin down and eliminate all the puppet troops! Order, the artillery battalion bombards the handover line between Cheng Bi and the puppet troops, bomb eastward..."

"...carpet bombing...fire three shells from each heavy mortar and let the artillerymen control the distance and landing point!" Commander Li pondered for a moment and said reluctantly.

With one phone call, the order from the 59st Division reached the position of the 59th Regiment, which made the comrades of the th Regiment excited.

"Comrades, fight, fight hard. The First Battalion should not be a reserve force, fight your way out of the ravine! Remember, after the three artillery shells are fired, immediately enter the battlefield, cut off the puppet army in the middle, and then defend the east side. The rest of the troops will attack westward with all their strength! Second Battalion, open fire, pay attention to the movements of the First Battalion. After the First Battalion rushes out, you will immediately rush down the mountain, enter the river valley to fight, and eliminate the puppet army..."

The Japanese didn't know that Major Yamauchi's cautious strategy had led to the early start of the decisive battle. At this moment, Major Yamauchi Tsutaro also learned from the sentry on the mountain that the team he sent out to repair the position had been attacked. Because the troops sent out were the baggage soldiers and the ammunition soldiers of the artillery squad, the only ones who could really fight were the infantry of the two squads, so Yamauchi was very anxious.

"Sasaki, our team has been attacked. It happens that the two squadrons that went out from your squadron are accompanying us for protection. So you should immediately lead your squadron up the mountain and make sure to annihilate the Eighth Route Army that attacked us, and firmly occupy the high ground in the north! Damn it, how did the Eighth Route Army suddenly become so powerful? Aren't they blocking and escaping all the way? Are they trying to lure the enemy deeper into our territory?"

Ignoring his captain's mumbling, Captain Sasaki saluted, ran out of the house, and began to greet his team in the yard. In just five minutes, all the Japanese soldiers of Sasaki's squadron scattered in the village had gathered, and Sasaki immediately led his men up the mountain.

But at the time when the Japanese gathered and the First Division ordered to open fire, the battle on the top of the northern mountain had already been declared over.

Just now, the Japanese troops, who were so oppressed that they dared not raise their heads, were bombarded by 4 60mm pepper mortar shells and 18 50mm grenade launchers. Because it was a visual bombing, the bombs landed very close to the Japanese troops, and some grenade launchers even exploded directly on the Japanese helmets.

The result of the bombing was that nearly half of the Japanese soldiers were killed, and the remaining Japanese soldiers were also injured, and their eyes and noses were running because of the chili smoke. After the bombing, the assault team of the second and third platoons was very close to the hill where the Japanese soldiers were, so the grenade throwers decisively threw out the grenades in their hands, and more than one, contributing more than 30 grenades to the hill. Because of the help of the air waves generated by these explosions, the smoke from the chili bombs just now was rapidly dissipating, and in the blink of an eye, it lost its effect.

Seeing this, the comrades of the assault team rushed forward one after another. While the Japanese had not yet recovered from the explosion and the influence of the pepper, the sound of submachine guns rang out, directly beating those Japanese who dared to hold their guns into a hive. And those Japanese who were injured and still capable of fighting were greeted by the three-edged spikes that came with the muzzle of the semi-automatic gun.

After throwing the grenades, the grenadiers held the semi-automatic rifles in their hands, pulled the latch, and threw the triangular spikes on the muzzles. Then, under the leadership of the assault team leader and the cover of the second cover man's submachine gun, they approached the fallen Japanese soldiers one by one. That's right, the grenadiers didn't have a chance to shoot, because in just a short time, the Japanese soldiers had all fallen!

When the grenadiers were not throwing bombs, they could also be used as accurate shooters, but now they were assassins! They approached from the side and back of the Japanese's feet, then with their left hand down and their right hand up, they pointed the straight tip of the three-edged spear at the back of the Japanese. Then, the entire semi-automatic was fiercely stabbed downwards, and the three-edged spear easily pierced the clothes and skin of the Japanese's back.

Because of its shape, the three-edged thorn easily passed through the gap between the enemy's posterior ribs, then pierced the heart, and then passed out from the gap between the front ribs, giving the enemy a chilling blow.
Whoosh... the bayonet was easily pulled out, accompanied by the sound of flesh and blood rubbing against steel. And then, a larger fountain of blood spurted out from the wound, still in streams.

The soldiers who had drawn their bayonets did not let go, but changed positions and attacked the enemy from the right back. Seeing that the enemy who was stabbed in the back struggled a few times and then stopped moving, the soldiers did not delay any longer and continued to look for another target under the cover of their comrades, and soon repeated the same operation.

Now, even in the battle of finishing off the enemy, the comrades were very careful, especially the second assaulter who was providing cover, who always pointed his submachine gun at the fallen enemy soldiers, and fired bullets directly at anyone who dared to move. They didn't understand why they were required to do so during training, but now they all understood, because their negligence could put the comrades who were finishing off the enemy in danger.

After all, the Japanese are famous for their fearlessness of death. If one of them who is not afraid of death holds a grenade or something in his hand, it would be dangerous!

This kind of thing has happened before, because just two hours ago, when the Japanese soldiers from the north arrived, some of them pretended to be dead and hid a melon grenade in their hands. Fortunately, the comrades woke up quickly and found something wrong and fired directly, so that the Japanese soldiers did not succeed. Fortunately, after the safety pin of the Japanese melon grenade was pulled out, it had to be knocked on a hard object to trigger the fuse, otherwise it would be hard to say what the result would be. If one exploded, the lives of several comrades would be threatened.

But then again, is this the only way to have fun in a battle? If we rely on artillery fire and machine guns to kill all the devils, we won't have the pleasure of killing them ourselves! Only by killing the enemy with our own hands can we feel the joy of revenge! After all, we have a blood feud with the devils! (End of this chapter)
