Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

What made Yamanouchi retreat was not the potential threat of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd companies, but the fact that the 6th company was right across the way, attacking in his direction under the cover of mortars! On the highest hill, Yamanouchi also found the figures of the 4th and 5th companies... Yamanouchi wanted to resist, but his own Type 92 infantry gun was still in a disassembled state and was being carried by the artillerymen... How could he fight?
What? The devil's fighting power is very strong? That was in the past, when it was still a permanent division, and it depended on who was on the other side? If the Second Battalion was replaced by the Central Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, Yamauchi would not be afraid at all, but the opponent was the Eighth Route Army! The Eighth Route Army was difficult to fight, and Yamauchi had already experienced this, and now he had a deeper understanding.

"Don't give the devils time to react, keep firing!" In the east, Guo Liandong calmly commanded the artillery to continue firing. There were already quite a few artillerymen around him, including the artillerymen from the second, third and sixth companies. So, 12 60mm mortars chased the devils and bombed them, providing cover for the 6th company that was advancing...

At the northernmost end, the 4th and 5th companies saw the Japanese move and did not sit idle. They followed the Japanese position and continued to move westward, even chasing them to the edge of the westernmost cliff, giving the Japanese a great sense of oppression and urgency. It was at this time that the artillery company finally arrived and was taken to the top of the mountain behind the 4th and 5th companies.

At this time, the battle was going very slowly! The Japanese crossed the mountain ridges one by one to the west, and the first, second and third companies followed suit, and the 6th company continued to chase them, just like a game of cat and mouse! Well, as Mr. Benshan said: Whether the cat walks straight or not depends on the mouse!

Now, the Japanese still had quite a few soldiers, about 6 to in total, so they were not afraid of the th Company's pursuit, and at least they could fight for a while. But once they started fighting, the Japanese would be surrounded and beaten, so Yamanouchi led the Japanese to continue westward until there were no more mountain ridges, until they all went down to the valley of Qin River.

In fact, the Japanese soldiers did not have such a smooth journey! After all, there were 60 mortars chasing and bombing behind them, and 6 companies chasing and beating them. Some Japanese soldiers died while walking! Especially the Japanese artillery squad, each of them was carrying the parts of the Type infantry gun and the shells. They had never walked such a difficult road in their lives! So, they were the first to fall behind, and they were also the first to be eliminated.

The 6th Company, led by Bai Dabao, didn't care about the dead Japanese soldiers at all. They just quickly made up for the dead and continued to chase forward, always keeping a distance of more than meters from the Japanese soldiers.

"Bagaya Road, the Eighth Route Army has indeed prepared a team in the south!" The river valley in this section is very wide, and Captain Bai did not cover it up at all, so the Japanese easily discovered that the river valley in the south of them was blocked. After cursing, Yamauchi waved his hand and pointed, leading the team to go north along the river valley.

Shan Nei did not dare to turn to the hills on the west side of the river valley, because although the hills on the west side were not high, they were difficult to climb. The Eighth Route Army did not need to chase them to the river valley, and could just attack them from the east. Moreover, the terrain in the river valley was easier to run, and the Eighth Route Army was still on the mountain. At this time, if they ran at full speed, they could always gain some distance! What was even better was that there was a cliff on the north side, and the Eighth Route Army troops on the north side could not come down.

Well, Yamauchi didn't care about the lives of the Japanese stragglers who were left behind along the way, and he led more than a hundred Japanese soldiers who could follow him and headed north along the path in the valley.

The Japs ran very fast... Well, when they are running for their lives, they usually run very fast, especially when they are being chased and beaten.

The 6th Company, which had chased the enemy to the east side of the mountain, and the nd and rd Companies, which had already gone down to the river, had no intention of letting the enemy go. They went down the mountain and headed north to chase the enemy. At this time, the artillery company, which had already arranged the artillery positions, finally fired a round of salvos at the enemy's troops under the command of the artillery observer on the other side of the cliff. It didn't matter whether the artillery fired or not at this time, but Guo Liandong still asked the artillerymen to fire a shot each, in order to put pressure on the enemy!
"Well, at this point, the fate of this group of devils is already sealed. As long as there's nothing wrong with Luo Wei, we can just wait to collect their bodies!" On the ridge, Guo Liandong said with a relieved tone, "Go, call down the fourth company, and help clean up the bodies of the devils we killed along the way and gather the spoils!"

In the north, in Longjiawa, Luo Wei and his men had already learned about the movements of the Japanese from the radio, so they were not panicking at all and had been waiting here! At a distance of more than 2000 meters, Luo Wei and his men had actually seen the Japanese when they went down into the river valley, and they also saw the Japanese being bombed and chased by their own people in an embarrassing situation.

At this moment, Lowe and his men were hiding in the mountains, looking at the mountain road by the river below the mountain, holding various weapons in their hands, waiting for the Japanese to come to them.

"Hurry up... run..." Yamauchi really regretted it at this time. He regretted why he led the team into the Eighth Route Army's base to sweep it? Wouldn't it be better to continue to stay in Lingshi as a garrison? Guarding the train line, eating at the train station, and collecting tolls, how beautiful would that be? But now...

I felt my legs getting heavier and heavier, and my lungs ached from wheezing. Yamauchi felt like he was going to die! How long has it been since I last felt this way? I haven't felt this way since I graduated from military school and joined the army, right? That was such an unforgettable time...

Panting... The Japs' steps were already staggering, and some even tripped over themselves while running... In such a mental state, let alone being vigilant, it was good enough that they could just keep running.

"Are these the Japanese? Why do they feel so much worse than our infantry?" On the top of the hill, Lowe had already picked up the semi-automatic rifle and couldn't help but sigh.

"Who can tell the truth about this? When we were fighting with the New Second Regiment, some of the Japanese corpses on the battlefield were obviously very old, while some were obviously very young. The Japanese sent both old men and children to the battlefield!" While Fu Quan was speaking, he raised the semi-automatic rifle in his hand and aimed at the Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain.

Rumble... huff... the Japs ran amid the sound of the Qin River's splashing water, and finally reached the foot of the mountain where Lowe and his group were.

Bang... Lowe was the first to fire, shooting directly through the panting Yamauchi. After Lowe fired, everyone, including the soldiers of the 60th mortar combat squad who had been running all the way, also fired their weapons! Box guns, semi-automatic, assault rifles, submachine guns... Anyway, the Japanese were so close, so we had to show our respect, right?
As the gunfire began and ended, the running Japanese soldiers all fell to the ground in the blink of an eye, with blood gushing out from under them. There was no other way, because the shooters were soldiers from the special forces quick reaction company and the reconnaissance company, and they were all very good shooters!
The key point is that the enemy is too close, the closest one is less than 50 meters away, if you can't hit it accurately... it's really embarrassing. (End of this chapter)
