Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

If you are poor, you can use tactics to intersperse. If you are rich, you can bomb me! Compared with last year, the comrades in Taiyue District are much richer, so they don’t mind a bombing to deal with the Japanese Type 92 infantry guns first.

The Type 18 infantry gun was quite powerful. Although it had not yet fired a shell into the trenches of the 2th Regiment, it was still a threat. So, just kill the enemy's infantry gun and we'll deal with the rest later. In fact, the artillery regiment of the Taiyue 17nd Division was hiding on a sloping land outside the east gate of the county town, with the th Regiment as a reserve.

If the leaders of Division 2 wanted to, they could simply gather the 16.17.18 mortars from the 82th, th, and th regiments and work together with the division artillery regiment to carry out a comprehensive bombing of Hashimoto's location!

If it were last year, District 2 might not have had the ability and confidence, but now Taiyue District has its own ammunition factory and has no shortage of mortar shells!
However, doing so may not necessarily be a good thing for the war situation on the Western Front. Instead, it will cause some negative situations and lead to strategic conflicts.

Although it is necessary to show off your muscles at this time, you can't show your true colors! Sometimes the devils are not scary, but friendly forces are the most worrying. What if the Shanxi Suiyuan Army knows that the Eighth Route Army is so powerful, and they can't think straight and attack the Eighth Route Army together with the devils? And this speculation is not a fantasy, but has a factual basis!
If the Japanese knew about this, they would most likely mobilize the few planes at Yuncheng Airport to bomb! After the bombing, the Japanese's biggest choice would be to stick to Linfen!

So if they were not afraid of scaring the devils and not daring to come again, they would have bombed them all the way! Apart from anything else, 24 82mm mortars plus 24 120mm heavy mortars plus 12 mountain cannons bombed together, the effect would definitely be earth-shattering! But that would also expose the fact that the Eighth Route Army had powerful artillery.

Therefore, Hongdong City deployed the 18th Regiment, the 16th Regiment went to guard the mountain pass, the 17th Regiment served as a reserve, and the newly formed 3th Regiment of the 19rd Division was also stationed in Hanlue Village on the Fenliu Highway, just behind the Hashimoto Battalion. In other words, if they wanted, after bombing the puppet army with artillery fire, the three regiments could still rush out and carry out a comprehensive siege on Hashimoto and his party!

However, there is no need to do that now. What we need to do now is to drag on with the Japanese bit by bit, consume their manpower bit by bit, and put pressure on the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army at the same time.

On the battlefield, 5 shells flew out one after another, boom boom boom, and exploded at the 12 o'clock position of target No. 7. Because the shells came a little too fast and a little too many, Fang Hao, who had been observing that side, only saw the fire, smoke, dirt and rocks from the shells, as well as some flying limbs and arms, and then... and then there was nothing else, the shelling stopped, and the Japanese artillery position was finished!

Survival of the fittest, the Japanese grenade launchers are no longer good, and the artillery is no longer as elite as it was at the beginning! Moreover, those good artillerymen are not used by the third-rate Type C divisions!

"Bagaya Road..." At the temporary command post of the Japanese, Hashimoto watched the artillery squad being blown into pieces, and his heart was tangled again. He cursed, but in his heart he wanted to withdraw the team that had already crossed the river. But he turned back and looked in the direction of Linfen, and he gave up the idea.

In the river, the Japs and their puppet troops continued to advance. Although their numbers were not as many as before, they were still densely packed when viewed from the city wall, and it was obvious that there were quite a few of them.

However, the soldiers who have been undergoing the three-three system training have long been accustomed to such situations in training, and they are not panicked at all. Not only are they not panicked, they are also in a mood to comment on it.

"Is this a pig-rushing skirmish line or a wave-like skirmish line?" This is the question raised by the new soldier. "It can be considered a wave attack. There is a distance between the front and back, and there is a gap between the left and right. The formation is also very scattered! It's just that the Japanese are not very smart. How can they climb the city wall with such a scattered formation?" The veteran replied.

"The Japs' formation is a bit similar to our three-three system, except that the Japs are too separated, while the puppet soldiers want to gather together, and there is no coordination between them!" This was the comment from the squad leaders.

"Okay, stop talking. The precision shooters from each class and the snipers from each company, get ready. If the Japanese cross the middle line of the river, open fire immediately. Let the Japanese continue to train you in shooting!" Guo Jinglie gave the order.

"Give me death..." In the river, a team leader of the Japanese team who had just crossed the river line and reached the sniper point raised his command knife high and shouted loudly.

The Japanese soldiers were far away, so they couldn't hear what he was shouting, but the neighboring Japanese soldiers shouted loudly, and the other Japanese soldiers followed suit. In addition, the captain's standard knife-swinging action also pointed out the direction of the attack to the Japanese soldiers.

So, amid the sound of the water, the devils ran and charged towards Hongdong. The devils did so, and the puppet soldiers who were led by the devils had no choice but to run forward, because there were supervisors behind them, and those who dared to look back would be shot directly.

The devils moved quickly, and the puppet soldiers moved quickly, but no matter how fast they were, they couldn't be faster than the fingers of the precision shooters and snipers! The precision shooters of each squad and the snipers of each row all pulled the trigger and fired the bullets from the gun chambers. The sound of "pa pa pa" was intertwined on the battlefield, and the bullets flew towards the target.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh... puff whoosh...bullets were flying, some brushed past the devils, some collided with them, then rolled and spun inside their bodies, eventually losing kinetic energy. Some of these bullets remained in the bodies of the devils and puppet soldiers forever, while others went through their bodies and fell into the river behind them, leaving the blood on them to mix with the blood in the river.

As the defending side, they have fortifications to protect their lives, fire suppression, and artillery fire, which gives them the advantage. This gives precision shooters and snipers room to perform.

Facing these devils, they, who usually shoot at drifting targets in the Qin River, showed strong fighting power. For them who have been strictly trained, today's battle is easier than training. Moreover, today's battle does not limit bullets, while usual training still counts bullets... What's the difference? That is, the devils and puppet soldiers can shoot.

However, they were all in the side-firing position and were not afraid of the counterattack fire from the Japanese and puppet troops, which had no effect at all.

Therefore, very quickly, the Japanese and puppet troops were all wiped out in the river within less than 100 meters, adding some red to the river water. (End of this chapter)
