Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

The timing was so fortuitous. Just as we had completed the finishing blow, Sasaki's squadron at the foot of the mountain also climbed up the ridge from the northeast corner of Chengbi Village. Not long after they went, they saw the blocking team of the Second Battalion more than 300 meters away.

The Second Battalion's troops were not on the same ridge as the Japanese, but they had the same destination, and the two ridges converged to the north. In fact, the ten or so ridges here all converged to the north, making the entire terrain look like a huge comb. Of course, now is not the time to discuss the terrain, after all, the Japanese were on the ridge, and they saw the two companies that did not hide their intentions at all.

As the saying goes, enemies are jealous of each other, and the Japanese devils are our enemies, so when they saw the devils coming up the mountain, the comrades were ready to fight. As for the devils, looking at the hilltop in the north, Sasaki had no intention of giving up, and directly ordered: "Heavy machine guns, find a position on the spot, Matsushita team, attack forward and test the firepower of the Eighth Route Army! Everyone else, find shelter on the spot..."

After a burst of whistling sounds, the Japanese soldiers followed Sasaki's orders very obediently. The heavy machine guns found a position to land directly on the ridge, and the infantry also built positions on the side facing away from the Eighth Route Army. Everything was in good order. When they saw the Matsushita team that took the initiative to attack, the second company commander Dong Xiandong and the third company commander Luo Wenlong tacitly did not take the initiative to attack, but let the Japanese soldiers get closer.

It’s not that the two company commanders were not enterprising and did not dare to initiate an attack, but considering the current time, from the time they discovered the Japanese to the time they decided to fight them, only more than half an hour had passed.

A lot of things can happen in more than half an hour, but it definitely doesn't include asking their own artillery company to change positions! After all, the artillery company needs to go up and down several hills in a row. Moreover, they also know that even if this half an hour is added, it is not enough for the special forces to complete a large-scale roundabout operation, and they have to buy time for the special forces.

The real opportunity to kill the devils was when the special forces arrived and the puppet troops in the east were wiped out by the 59th Regiment, and then everyone attacked from both sides...

"Don't fight yet. Don't be in a hurry to fire your grenade launchers and mortars. Let's let these devils get closer and eliminate them first. Then we can continue to exchange fire with the devils on the opposite ridge!" Dong Xiandong shouted.

"Come closer, wait until you are 150 meters away before opening fire, and leave these devils at the foot of the mountain first!" Luo Wenlong also shouted.

As they were shouting and preparing, the Japanese came down from the ridges into the gullies between them. Perhaps due to the impact of the rain, there was not much soil in the gullies between the ridges, so there were no large trees or even small shrubs, only coarse stones and various weeds between the stones.

It was October now, and some wild grasses that could grow fruits had borne fruit, but the edible fruits had long been eaten by the children in the village, so the Japanese soldiers jumped and twisted among the weeds and rocks and walked eastward. Because they were short, some of the rocks were very large and sharp, so the Japanese soldiers had to go around them, which seriously blocked their progress.

Therefore, the Japanese soldiers walked for more than ten minutes to reach the bottom of the mountain, covering a distance of more than 300 meters in a straight line and more than 200 meters down the mountain. Now, the Japanese soldiers looked up again and continued to shuttle between rocks and small bushes in the hope of fighting with the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, the two Type 92 heavy machine guns brought by Sasaki's squadron were finally set up on the ridge, and the Japanese machine gunners squatted behind the machine guns, and the ammunition feeders also squatted in position. After receiving the order, the Japanese machine gunners began to shoot, and bullets whizzed through the top of the mountain on the Eighth Route Army's side, and some bullets hit the sandbags placed in front of the soldiers.

On the Eighth Route Army side, a soldier had already raised a semi-automatic precision marksman rifle, with the crosshairs of the scope aimed directly at the head of the Japanese machine gunner. In fact, the Japanese chose a good position. Only the upper half of the heavy machine gun was exposed, and the entire machine gun was exposed on the ridge. The Japanese only exposed his neck and head. Of course, exposing the head was enough. Even if the Japanese had the heavy machine gun body blocking it, it would not prevent the precision marksman from shooting the bullet at the top of the Japanese's head! If the top of the head was lifted, the Japanese would be dead!

However, there was no order to open fire yet. The grenade throwers not far away were also raising their hands to measure the distance, and then they were eager to try, apparently heading towards the Japanese heavy machine guns.

"Follow my orders...Don't fire the mortars and grenade launchers. Everyone else can fire freely. Let's eliminate the Japs at the foot of the mountain first!" Finally, the comrades received Dong Xiandong's order.

Bang, bang, bang...As soon as the order was given, several precision shooters and snipers directly under the company's command pulled the trigger. Everyone could even clearly hear their gunshots half a second ahead of time. Looking at the other side, the two heavy machine gun groups of the Japanese were spurting out several streams of blood, and bone fragments were sliding down from the back of a Japanese soldier's helmet, mixed with white tissue.

In the red and white colors, the enemy's heavy machine guns were easily defeated! After firing, the precision shooters and snipers turned their guns around, intending to "snatch food" from the guns of their comrades. However, there were too many soldiers in the two companies, and the guns in their hands were too "hungry", so each person only fired one or two shots, and all the enemy soldiers at the foot of the mountain were trapped on the hillside.

Even then, there was a soldier who fired another shot at the Japanese soldier lying on the ground to complete the shooting.

The battle started suddenly and ended quickly. In just one deep breath, a squad of Japanese soldiers was gone! Well, it's not surprising. The Japanese soldiers were deep in the wilderness, without any effective cover, facing two companies with accurate guns and faster shooting speed at a very close distance. How long could they last? Don't forget the height advantage!
"Will the Japanese be scared away if we fight like this?" At this time, someone was worried that the Japanese would be scared away, so he asked with a laugh.

"That depends on what the Japs think! Where are the scouts? Move south and keep an eye on the Japs' way down the mountain! Artillery platoon, aim at the north and south sides of the Japs! As long as the Japs don't run away, we'll play with them slowly and kill them bit by bit! Sniper team, observers of the precision shooter team, observe carefully and distinguish the Japs' grenade launchers..."

As the battle just started and ended, Sasaki, who was hiding behind a clump of grass and watching the battle, was shocked. Is this still the Eighth Route Army? Is this still the Eighth Route Army that was so easy to fight in the past few days? If the Eighth Route Army in the past few days was this good, would they still be able to come here? They must have been beaten back to Nanguan Town as soon as they entered the mountain, right?

Unfortunately, it was too late, because they had penetrated too deep. Even if they wanted to return to Nanguan Town, they would have to walk for several days! The key point was that the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side didn't seem to want to let them go, which made it difficult! Thinking of this, Sasaki called a Japanese soldier and said, "You, go to the village and tell the captain that the Eighth Route Army has deployed heavy troops on the mountain to the north."

"Our team building the position has been wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army is very powerful and well-equipped, with a force of at least two battalions! Therefore, we request tactical guidance and a tactical shift!" (End of this chapter)
