Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

A month later, it was winter and it was snowing heavily. The snow was more than half a meter thick.

Swish... rustle... On the frozen hard snow, a team was moving forward quickly. They used horse-drawn sleds to carry baggage and supplies, and people were moving forward on the sleds, and the speed was not slow at all. That's right, this is the team led by Tianchuan, and they are going to fight before the New Year.

There were more than 400 people in this team. The Tianchuan Special Operations Team, with the bandit armed forces that were incorporated some time ago, was in the front, Hu Lanzhou was leading the soldiers of the main second regiment in the back, and Bai Dashan was leading the second special operations squadron on the flank, supporting them, and they marched all the way to the outside of Erbin city.

The heavy snow did not hinder the operation of the railway. On the main line of the Middle East Railway, trains rumbled forward, emitting black smoke, carrying all kinds of supplies looted by the Japanese.

After several hours of marching, the team finally arrived at the south of Erbin City, near Unit 731. Then, the team stopped to rest and eat combat rations, sort out equipment and ammunition, and try to keep the weapons warm in the cloaks to avoid freezing...

Even now, when Tianchuan and his group looked at Beibianerbin, they were still a little confused. Why? Because this city is really a bit weird. Once you enter, you can't find the east, west, south, or north. Not to mention them, even the people living there will only tell you to go forward, left, or right. As for east, west, south, or north? Where is the north?

I'm totally lost!
Tianchuan and his men had gone through rigorous training, experienced many battles, and had no problem going into the woods. But after entering Erbin, they felt like they couldn't get out. How should I put it? None of the buildings here were built in a formal east-west orientation. They were built in a casual and free-spirited manner, following the direction of the street, as long as there was light.

But now, Tianchuan and his men have no plan to attack into the city. They will block the enemy outside and then kill the Japanese at the water station.

Three days ago, Tian Chuan activated a radio station and contacted the Ninth District, reporting directly to Li Yuexuan. Li Yuexuan had no other instructions for their actions, but one thing they had to do - not let any of the Japanese in the water supply station go! They all had to die! Then, they had to pay attention to their own safety and try to hold on until next summer.

Why next summer? Li Yuexuan did some simulations when he had nothing to do. He believed that after this winter, the entire Eighth Route Army would have a strong development, and both the troops and equipment would be greatly improved, directly expanding to twice the current strength. Well, that is, on the existing basis, more than 130 main regiments would be developed.

With this development, we should launch a full-scale counterattack tomorrow spring, take down those important cities one by one, and then either attack South China or Northeast China, there will always be a direction.

Besides, next year will be the 45th year, and the Japanese surrender is not far away in the summer. If Tianchuan and his men are here, it will be very convenient to accept the Japanese surrender, develop the team, or assist the main force. The bad thing is that the special operations team will probably be transferred from the th Division to other units in the future.

Li Yuexuan had no objection to letting the special forces go, as long as they could kill more Japanese devils! ! As for whether they could fully fight back against the Japanese devils next year? Of course the Eighth Route Army had the ability to do so!
Apart from other things, the military industry alone can guarantee all kinds of needs for military expansion! Not counting the newly opened arsenals in northern Shaanxi, the existing arsenals can guarantee the weapons needs of these newly expanded regimental units. Take the 60 mortars of the Liangjia Village Arsenal as an example. The current monthly production capacity is 350 guns and 3.5 rounds of artillery shells, which can equip the joint artillery of 13 infantry regiments in one month.

This is just Liangjia Village. With the production of many arsenals, it is not a problem to expand more than 100 main regiments next summer. And now there is a good condition, that is, after the continuous battles in the past period of time, these main regiments are now veterans. With so many veterans as the backbone, it is much easier to expand the new infantry regiment. The veterans are the skeleton, and the new recruits are filled in. After three to six months of training, it is basically formed!

In fact, it is very simple to stabilize the combat effectiveness of an infantry regiment! The first is to ensure the artillery quality of the regiment's 82 mortars, which must be accurate! The second is to ensure the artillery quality of the company's 60 mortars, which must be accurate; the third is to ensure the combat effectiveness of the backbones of each squad, including the personal combat effectiveness and coordinated combat capabilities of the grenade launcher, precision shooter, machine gunner, and assault team leader.

With these guarantees, we can then add in the trained heavy machine gunners, shotguns, reconnaissance, guard, engineering, transport and other units, and then a regiment will be formed.

In the past, the Eighth Route Army still attached great importance to the use of heavy machine gunners. After all, this is a suppression weapon, which is very necessary for the initiative and control of the battlefield. But now, the status of heavy machine guns is not so important. After all, there are 60 mortars around, and any enemy that cannot be dealt with can be dealt with with one shell.

Of course, heavy machine guns are a must, and no one can ignore this position!
Um... well, in today's battle, Tianchuan and his team did not use heavy machine guns, only 5 60 mortars and 500 rounds of artillery shells as suppression weapons. Of course, there are light machine guns, and the more rough-designed Qi Lali light machine gun has withstood the test of severe cold. Although the overall accuracy is not very good, it is good that the cold weather does not affect shooting.

And now it is winter, which is a good season for air-cooled machine guns, because the weather is cold, it is not so easy for the barrel to heat up, and there is no need to change the barrel frequently...

After preparing the equipment, Tianchuan and his men split up. Hu Lanzhou led the second main regiment and the bandit reorganization team to directly face Erbin City and build several lines of defense. Bai Dashan led the second special operations team to build another line of defense on the flank to prevent the enemy reinforcements from attacking from the flank.

However, Tianchuan himself, with the soldiers of the Special Operations Corps, rushed directly to the gate of the water supply station and broke into this hell on earth from the front.

Da da da... The sound of submachine guns rang out in the wilderness, and the Japanese soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the water supply station were killed on the spot. Then, the commandos moved forward, and grenade launchers and mortars suppressed and covered the assault.

At this time, a Japanese guard team rushed out of the yard and was hit head-on by the commandos. So, the submachine guns were raised and fired, and dozens of Japanese soldiers were killed in the yard.

This is purgatory, a devil's den, but most of the devils here are medical, and their combat effectiveness is not very strong. After dealing with the sentries and guards outside, Tianchuan, who changed into chemical protective clothing, rushed into the building with the special forces who were also wearing chemical protective clothing...
