Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 340 Ready! (First update!)

The guerrillas in Zhangling Village were Yang Xiong's first visit.

Because it was predicted that the Japanese and puppet troops would come to Zhangling Village the day after tomorrow to sweep up the village, dozens of guerrillas were going door-to-door to mobilize the villagers to move and fortify the walls to clear the village.

But Yang Xiong soon met the leader of the guerrillas in Zhangling Village, a young man whose arm was blown off on the battlefield.

"Battle Commander Yang, are you sure what you just said is true. As long as our guerrillas cooperate with you in fighting, we will give us five rifles and [-] rounds of ammunition after the battle!" The guerrilla captain asked with a burning expression on Yang Ying's face.

You know, although there are more than 40 guerrillas in the entire Zhangling Village guerrilla team, they only have five rifles. Spears, very poorly equipped.

In this situation,
"One word from a gentleman is hard to chase. In order to show our sincerity, before the battle begins, our arsenal will replenish some ammunition for you! Captain Zhang, let me tell you about your equipment first!"

"Yes, Battalion Commander Yang!" The guerrilla captain smiled even wider, and answered happily.

"The guerrilla team has three of them, all of which are rewarded by their superiors. In addition, there are four of the old sleeves, and five of the singles eliminated by the main force. There are only eleven guns that can be used in total. The rest are all muskets. and swords and spears."

"As for the bullets, I'm not afraid that Battalion Commander Yang will make fun of you. The Sanba Dagai has five bullets in total, and each of the other guns has three bullets. Usually, it will never be used unless it is absolutely necessary!"

After hearing the guerrilla leader's report, Yang Xiong's first reaction was that the guerrillas were too poor. No wonder they were helpless in the face of the small Japanese army's mopping up.It wasn't that they were afraid of death and didn't have qualified commanders. It was that their equipment was too poor. In front of the devils, they didn't have any ability to fight back except passively being beaten.

After taking a deep breath, he made a decisive decision: "Captain Zhang, we don't have the old sleeves and single bullets. I can give you [-] rounds of bullets with [-] caps, and I will give you five more black powder and ceramic bullets." Made of landmines. But I also have a request. Tomorrow night, all the guerrillas will gather at the gate of the city. At that time, I will personally command you to fight. You must obey orders and obey orders!"

"Yes, Battalion Commander Yang!" The guerrilla captain replied happily.

In a village less than ten miles away from Zhangling Village, an infantry company from the Third Army Division was stationed here.

Facing the upcoming sweep by the Japanese and puppet troops at the Bald Ridge Coal Mine, more than 120 soldiers in the entire company were gearing up to prepare for the upcoming battle.

"Company Commander, the soldiers are already ready, but the equipment and ammunition are insufficient. It is definitely unrealistic to fight the devils head-on. I suggest that we use guerrilla warfare to wipe out the Japanese and puppet troops. Anyway, several surrounding villages have begun to fortify their walls and clear the fields. The Japanese puppet army did not have much loss when they came here!"

"Crack!" Company Commander Zhang Hao slammed his clenched fist on the dilapidated table in front of him because of his anger.

Then he scolded with an aggrieved face: "Get out, seventy or eighty Japanese and puppet troops dare to rampage in our defense area, it is really aggrieved!"

"Notify the troops, fight the old rules. This time, the entire company will kill at least ten Japanese and puppet troops!"

The instructor hurriedly comforted him: "Don't be angry, Mr. Zhang. No one can blame this situation. If you want to blame it, blame our poor equipment and too little ammunition! All of them are made in the Czech Republic without even a bipod, and there are few bullets. It's pitiful. There are only about [-] of the three-eight large caps, medium-sized, and old sleeves that can be shot, and the bullets are even more pitiful. Originally, each gun can average ten bullets. But because We have always fought guerrilla warfare against the devils, never fought a war of annihilation, and every time we use bullets, there is one less bullet, and now there are even fewer bullets, with an average of less than three bullets!"

"With such equipment, there is no way to fight head-on with the Japanese and puppet troops. Even the guerrilla warfare we are good at can only be fought once. After fighting this time, we will run out of the last bit of ammunition in our hands!"

"That's all!" Company Commander Zhang Hao replied helplessly.

"After this battle is over, we must not let the Japanese and puppet troops rampage into our defense zone!"

At this moment, the company guards suddenly rushed in.

"Company commander, a Battalion Commander Yang has come to the headquarters. We have confirmed his identity and said that he has something important to ask you~"

"Battalion Commander Yang, let him in!" Zhang Hao replied with a frown.

As a company commander under the military division, it is impossible for Zhang Hao to know that the military division has set up an arsenal and a reinforcement battalion.

However, Yang Xiong strengthened the battalion commander, and Zhang Hao's identity as the deputy regiment level of the headquarters is still certain.

Therefore, as soon as he saw Yang Xiong and Zhang Hao, he gave a military salute.

After explaining his purpose of coming here, especially when Yang Xiong promised him two machine guns and twenty articles, Zhang Hao's helpless and frustrated expression just now disappeared.Then he stared at Yang Xiong with bright eyes and asked.

"Battalion Commander Yang, are you telling the truth? You really gave us so many weapons and ammunition after the incident!"

"There's no need to lie to you. If you don't fulfill your promise, you can go to the headquarters and sue me! Not only that, but before the battle begins, I promise to give you some ammunition first!"

"[-] rounds of ammunition for the [-]th. However, after the battle begins, your company must obey my command. Of course, don't worry about the possible casualties of the troops, I will not let you fight the devils!"

"I agree!" Zhang Hao gave Yang Xiong an affirmative answer without saying a word.

In the next day, Yang Xiong found three more guerrillas and one district squad, all of which totaled more than 300 people.Of course, there are only more than 200 troops that are actually equipped with rifles and have combat effectiveness.

The arsenal was temporarily stationed, and Yang Xiong was very excited to report his day's results to Wang Ping.

"That's right, with these people joining us, we will be even more secure in winning the Bald Ridge Coal Mine!" Wang Ping was very satisfied with the result, pointing to the map and commanding.

"According to intelligence, although the Japanese army has an infantry brigade garrisoned in the county, the Japanese army has only three infantry squadrons in the city because the losses from the last anti-encirclement campaign have not been made up. This is the hinterland of our base, and the devils must leave heavy troops for defense. The county seat does not give us an opportunity. Therefore, I judge that the Japanese and puppet troops in the city will send at most one infantry squadron and one battalion of the Imperial Association Army."

"All the troops you summoned today are under your command. The artillery platoon will give you two mortars, the heavy machine gun platoon will give you two, and you will bring all the rest of the recruits. You can bring as much ammunition as you want. The reinforcements of the puppet army will last for at least three hours, preferably five hours."

"I will take command of one of the reinforced companies you have drawn out to attack the coal mines!"

Yang Ying was very excited. There was a battle as soon as she arrived at the headquarters, and she commanded the battle independently.

Without further ado, he directly promised: "Please don't worry, the factory manager. If you can give me some more landmines, I promise to hold back the Japanese and puppet troops for at least five hours!"

"The landmines you want are being produced. There are ceramics and stones. Although they are filled with black powder, the power is only half of the original, but there is still no problem in blowing up devils. Before you act, at least a hundred mines will be given to you!" Wang said. Ping answered directly.

"Then there must be no problem sticking to it for five hours!" Yang Xiong replied confidently!
