In the mountains to the north.

With a clatter, the map was unfolded in front of Li Yuan by Platoon Leader Jiang. Li Yuan rubbed his palms, stared at the map with a cold face and muttered: "The Japanese used grenades first, then mortars, and even infantry artillery."

It was used, and the action was not small. It seems that the national army has a lot of people on the side of Hongxing Bridge."

The artillery bombardment that Inuichiro gave to the squadron leader was not carried out according to common sense, which caused a lot of misjudgment to the various nearby units. In addition to the county brigade, the nearby national army units who knew the situation of the garrison at Hongxing Bridge were all there.

To judge what was wrong with the Japs this time, could it be that the stationed Company Commander Zhou was so good at fighting that he beat the Japs so hard that they had to use a large-scale artillery attack?

A few national army generals thought that the Japanese's combat effectiveness might be just that. A company could be bombarded by the Japanese for such a long time, and their minds became a little more active.

More generals of the national army are thinking: If the Japanese use such powerful artillery bombardment against a company, if they fight the Japanese themselves, should they run or not?

At present, it seems that this single bombardment has at least achieved some success in the deterrence effect of the Japanese captain's continuous bombardment.

Chen Yong, who had just arrived next to him, thought for a while and comforted Li Yuan: "The news we got some time ago is that there is only one company on the side of Hongxing Bridge. It should be that the national army may have suddenly increased its garrison."

"There is no time to waste any more. The Japanese will come out this time with only one large group and several hundred puppet troops. Our focus is on development. Those search teams coming to the north must be dealt with as soon as possible."

The top scouts from the reconnaissance team haven't come back yet. Let's wait until they come back before we make a decision, okay?

A small group of Japs without heavy firepower would have no problem dealing with them in the mountainous area. Those bunkers dug in training some time ago will finally come into use.

Li Yuan did not train all the new recruits together. Instead, he dug bunkers and trenches everywhere on the mountain roads in order to disperse them. These trenches were only suitable for defense and ambush. Anyway, the devils were attacking every time, county brigade, and guerrillas.

It's all about running away every time.

The county brigade, which originally had two squadrons, immediately began to prepare. Although it did not have heavy weapons, it only had two light machine guns in total, and the ammunition was also very sufficient.

Li Yuan immediately ordered: "Let's move forward in the direction of the advance soldiers first, and retreat while fighting. Even if we can't hit the Japanese on the back, we must beat the Japanese and puppet soldiers in this search team so that they don't dare to put their backs on them."

If they are all exposed, we only have so many people, and there are only so many people who can help the national army."

As soon as he finished speaking, another leading soldier from the front came back: "The Japs were searching at the edge of the bamboo forest. They searched westward until they reached five miles west of Hongxing Bridge and then stopped moving forward. They just sent a few Japs and puppet troops into the forest.

We didn’t go deep, we left a few sentries and then withdrew. There was almost a small group of Japanese soldiers and a platoon of puppet soldiers. We originally wanted to observe it, but the Japanese soldiers never made any move, so we came back a little late.”

Chen Yong said hurriedly: "The Japs are not moving? If the Japs are not moving, this battle will be difficult to fight. If we take the initiative to attack these Japs, the terrain will be favorable to the Japs. Brother Li, what do you think of this?"

Li Yuan thought for a while: "If the Japanese soldiers don't move, we can't take action yet. We have more than half as many new soldiers as veterans. If we go to the battlefield to participate in the attack, we can't afford the casualties. That's it. The bamboo is sparse at the edge of the bamboo forest.

Find a few good marksmen to engage in cold shooting and attract these Japanese and puppet soldiers into the bamboo forest. If they don't come in, we won't go out either.?

Platoon leader Jiang immediately said: "Captain, this matter is left to our squadron. I will take a small team over and ensure that those Japs are introduced into the forest."

Li Yuan pondered for a while: "Okay, pay attention to spreading out the personnel. After firing the bullets in the guns, you must retreat. Remember, don't stay within three hundred meters. Send all the veterans."

Chen Yong added: "Why don't you bring the grenade to use it hard, otherwise these Japanese soldiers might not enter the mountain?"

Li Yuan paused: "Okay, call Zhao Dashan."

The dozen or so veterans who gathered around Li Yuan stood at attention one by one, with their left hands across their chests and saluted with their guns. The soldiers began to leave the depths of the bamboo forest in a hurry. Zhao Dashan naturally carried a grenade and brought an ammunition soldier with him.

He followed up and followed the leading soldiers towards the edge of the bamboo forest in the south.

Generals are brave soldiers. These veteran soldiers from the county brigade have fought countless battles with Li Yuan. The veteran soldiers are not that old. A few of them were recruits in the Xiaohuang Mountain Independent Company two or three months ago and have not matured on the battlefield.

Faster warrior.

Real veterans are even happier. They used to fight guerrillas most of the time, running away if they couldn't be beaten, and never having more than ten bullets in their guns. They are almost squad leaders now, and they are very worried about carrying a bullet box with a hundred bullets on their body at any time.

Satisfied, although the bullets are a little heavier than the bullets, but it walks so well that not even a small team of Japanese soldiers take it seriously.

The sentries placed by the Japanese in the forest were in the dark and light, separated on both sides. The leading soldiers who arrived first could see clearly. The bamboo forest in front of them was very quiet and lifeless. The town of Hongxingqiao in the far south could be seen.

The thick smoke rising from the Japanese artillery positions was covered by the bamboo forest and could not be seen.

The soldiers of the county brigade were lying on the ground. There were thick bamboo leaves on the ground. They were very soft, but in the middle there were bamboo shoots that had grown and fallen off. Some of them should be bamboo shoots. There were hairs on them. If these things got in

It is impossible to keep clothes safe for three to five days.

The soldiers carefully avoided it. Platoon leader Jiang personally led the team and was communicating with the observing soldiers about the location of the Japanese sentry. The clear sentry was easy to fight. The three soldiers advanced another two hundred meters and were only a hundred meters away from the Japanese sentry.

It's about a meter away, so it's not a problem to hit, but the two hidden sentinels are not far behind the open sentinels.

It is impossible to hit the hidden sentry unless you attack by force. Of course, this time it is to attract the Japanese into the mountain. The original purpose is to make a noise, the bigger the better.

The soldiers had no time to appreciate the desolation of the bamboo forest, nor did they think of lying comfortably on the bamboo leaves. The blood in their bodies began to accelerate. A sentry, two puppet soldiers, and two Japanese soldiers, none of them could survive.

Soldiers from a strengthened class, led by the leading soldiers, tentatively approached the Japanese and puppet army sentries. They were divided into two groups and continued to approach the Japanese and puppet soldiers from the half-human-high bushes growing in the sparse bamboo forest.

The puppet army's outpost was about a hundred meters away, and the sentinel did not notice the soldiers approaching from the depths of the bamboo forest.

After a while, the sentry looked at the road in the mountains, then looked back at the artillery position on the road where the Japanese were still occasionally firing cannons into the town. He was still silently calculating in his heart how many towns the smoke from the cannons would reach.

How long will it take for the flames to burst into flames and the sound of the explosion to reach your ears?

Everyone can learn a lot on the battlefield, but these two outposts have no chance to learn more experience. Four rifles were aimed at the secret sentry of the puppet army leaning on the bamboo.

The rear sight and crosshair were aimed at the bodies of the ghosts and the others. Only a fool would aim at the head more than a hundred meters away. If the body was shot, it would be sheer nonsense to pick up the gun again. Just rush in and use another shot later.

can solve the problem.
