Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

At the command of Captain Cheng, the signalmen used the radio and telephone to notify the people...

At the 772nd Regiment's position, after receiving the order, the battalion commander looked through the observation hole at the Japanese puppet troops still attacking his position, curled his lips in disdain and said, "Order: All fire, open fire across the board, and make sure to eliminate the Japanese puppet troops at the foot of the mountain! Heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, hit hard!"

The soldiers, who had long been annoyed by the Japanese's tactics of adding fuel to the fire, immediately became alert after hearing the order from their battalion commander. At several locations in the position, some branches, straw and other debris that were originally piled here were pushed away, revealing the round cold water pipe of the Civilian 24 heavy machine gun and the square bulletproof shield.

Then... boom boom boom... boom boom boom... The No. 24 heavy machine gun began to spew flames, countless shell casings flew, and countless bullets also flew towards the Japanese and puppet army at a rapid speed.

"Ahhh..." Suddenly, nine heavy machine gun fire points appeared, and bullets flew across the ranks of the Japanese puppet troops, sweeping back and forth as if bullets were free. As a result, the more than 9 Japanese puppet troops who were still attacking were directly wiped out row after row.

That's not all. The heavy machine guns were suppressed and didn't move. All 27 grenade launchers in the first battalion didn't move either! Now that the restrictions were lifted, the grenade launchers fired a volley at the enemy's puppet army... The whistling sound of the grenade launchers and the roar of the heavy machine guns exploded in the enemy's puppet army. No one was alive around the explosion point!

"What?" A Japanese squad leader who was directing the attack stood there in a daze, looking at the blood spurting out of his chest. He didn't understand how he could be hit from a distance of more than 600 meters.
"Haha, are you dead now? I've been looking at you for a long time!" At a corner of the position, a sniper who didn't want to reveal his name was muttering while pulling the bolt to load the bullet. After all, they were the first batch of professional snipers formally trained by the Eighth Route Army, and their instructors were all from the Beishan Special Operations Team! At this moment, the instructors were fighting in the south, so they couldn't let them down!

Fortunately, his beloved Ma Sihuan sniper rifle did not disappoint its owner and he easily killed a Japanese officer.

The counterattack of the 772nd Regiment was very sudden for the Japanese, because the Japanese had been fighting for an hour, and the firepower of the 772nd Regiment was always weak, and no heavy machine guns were used, and even light machine guns were rarely used. As a result, all the firepower was exposed now, which really caught the Japanese off guard!
Of course, this was not all the firepower of the 772nd Regiment! Because when the first battalion launched a full-scale counterattack, the second battalion had already gone south along the ridge and headed straight for Shili Township! In order to clear the obstacles for the second battalion, the artillery company of the 772nd Regiment also took the initiative to bombard the devils in Shili Township.

Although there were only 9 82 mortars, a mortar is a mortar, and the bombing effect was definitely not weak! It only blasted the temporary positions built by the Japanese puppet troops with sandbags to pieces.

The 772nd Regiment was in action, and the 16th Regiment in the east was naturally not idle either. The four companies heading south quietly walked out of the valley and headed north along the Guxian River, ready to go straight into the enemy's asshole. Of course, there was still a distance of several hundred meters, and the comrades had to walk halfway, then find a place to stop and wait for the battle in the west.

On the other hand, the four companies of the 20th Regiment, which encountered the high ground occupied by the devils, did not move at this moment, but were... watching the show! Well, it can't be said to be watching the show, but watching the more than devils and more than puppet troops on the hill being bombarded by all the artillery fire of their own artillery company and the brigade's artillery battalion!
That's right, in order to deal with the devils on the high ground west of Shili Township, a mountain cannon and heavy mortar that were reluctant to be used were aimed at this side this time! In order to cooperate, the 20 mortars of the 8th Regiment were also aimed here. As for why? Because if this high ground is not taken down, then all the troops attacking Shili Township, whether it is the 16th Regiment or the 772nd Regiment, will be hit by the devils on this high ground! These devils occupying the commanding heights can easily kill our comrades and cause great losses to our attack!
Therefore, except for the 772nd and 16th Regiments, all the artillery on the scene were aimed at this high ground! The artillery of the 772nd Regiment dealt with the fortifications in the north of Shili Township, and the 16th Regiment did not want to participate, but it was a bit far away and could not reach it, so they could only watch.

Of course, the artillery of the 16th Regiment was not needed, and even the mortars of the 20th Regiment were somewhat redundant! In the eyes of the comrades of the 20th Regiment, long mortar shells fell from the sky and exploded directly on the top of the mountain and the hillside... Some of the sandbag fortifications that the Japanese puppet soldiers had worked hard to build up on the mountain were blown into pieces by a mortar bombardment, along with the Japanese in the fortifications.

In the open areas on the hillside and in some places with trees, the bombing effect of the artillery shells is also amazing!
Boom... In the explosion, the sky was covered with mud and half of the Japanese soldiers or puppet soldiers could be seen flying in the air. Some low jujube bushes and some vitex bushes were blown apart in the explosion, and flames ignited in the air, and then flew farther and farther.

"Haha, comrades, we have never fought such a prosperous battle! In the past, when we had such high ground, we had to sacrifice dozens or even hundreds of people to take it! Now... as soon as the artillery fire stops, follow me to finish off the Japanese and puppet troops!" On Majiayan, the soldiers who had watched the excitement for more than a minute, listened to the shouts of their own company commander, and each of them clenched their guns.

Some of them were smart and decisively threw away the semi-automatic fixed three-edged spears, waiting to go up and bleed the Japanese one by one.

Finally, the artillery fire stopped, and a red flare rose into the sky in the north!
"Comrades, kill..." Seeing the signal flare, the four company commanders led their teams in four directions and attacked the enemy's position without any order. The comrades ran very fast because they knew their responsibilities! Now that the artillery comrades have completed their bombing, it depends on how we perform!
Soon, the soldiers of the four companies rushed over a distance of more than 400 meters and appeared on the high ground occupied by the devils, giving the remaining devils a final blow! During this period, the comrades of the artillery battalion and the two artillery companies were not idle either, and directly bombed the devils outside Shili Township, especially the mountain road connecting to the high ground in the west, which was the focus of the bombing.

"Baga, I knew the Eighth Route Army wouldn't be so weak! It looks like the Eighth Route Army wants to seize our weapons? Otherwise, they would have bombed our army!" On the second floor of the Shili Township Office, Ueno was watching the bombing scene and muttered. But just as he finished speaking, the whistling sound of artillery shells came from above his head...

"Baga, the Eighth Route Army is herding sheep! Signalman, send a message to the 24th Battalion, and send reinforcements as soon as possible! Everyone, follow my orders, and break out to the south with all your strength..."

As Shangye shouted, more than a dozen shells fell around the township office, destroying some positions built along the river and killing the surrounding Japanese puppet troops. The Japanese, seeing the bad situation, finally decided to break out to the south, because they saw the second battalion of the 772nd Regiment appearing on the hill in the north and moving down the mountain quickly.

"Alright, the next round of bombing will target the mountain road south of Shili Township! You little devil, you still want to run? No way!" (End of this chapter)
