Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

Aso Akashi was instantly furious.

"That's not the sound of machine guns. Damn it, they're doing this to keep us awake. Tell everyone, don't be fooled by the enemy. Except for those assigned to sentry posts, everyone else should rest."

Chapter 018 Victory

"how is the situation?"

"Except for a few sentries, all the Japanese troops have rested."

"Are you sure there are no secret guards at some intersections?"

"Don't worry. I asked the team members, and since there are so many hunters in Zhangjiagou Village, they have their own hunting areas. The paths up the mountain are different, and some are so remote that even people in the village may not know them all. People from other villages are even less familiar with them."

Wang Qiuyun's body has not yet fully recovered.

So he commanded the battle while half lying down.

Discuss with Li Shiping, Gao Wei, Tao Laifeng and others.

Since the Japanese army entered Zhangjiagou Village, Wang Qiuyun has been harassing them non-stop. He divided the guerrilla army into several groups, and took turns harassing the Japanese army while the others took turns resting.

When the enemy stays, we harass them. This is a classic guerrilla warfare tactic.

Zhangjiagou Village is located in the southwest of Sheng County, surrounded by high mountains and dense forests. People from other villages are not familiar with Zhangjiagou Village, making it easy for them to harass them. Wang Qiuyun's goal was to prevent the Japanese troops from resting.

A strategy to tire out the enemy.

The effect is still very good.

After dusk, the Japanese army was exhausted for several hours.

In the end, it was Aso Akashi who ordered the troops to ignore the sneak attack. As the morning approached, the Japanese army began to ignore the guerrillas' sneak attacks. Since the sneak attack was ineffective, Wang Qiuyun naturally had to try a different approach.

Wang Qiuyun has rich combat experience and has already prepared many combat plans.

"Gao Wei, Tao Laifeng, each of you will lead a team. Don't have too many people, and don't go too deep. After you find the enemy's residence, greet them with grenades. Don't be stingy with grenades. Each of you carries four grenades, and throw them all out in a short period of time. It would be best to find the Japanese garrison. I observed today that the security group is now frightened and has no combat effectiveness. As long as we can eliminate the Japanese, then we will win."

"Yes."

"Li Yong, place the two light machine guns on the mountain road where they are retreating. If any Japanese troops come up, shoot them hard."

"Yes."

"Zeng Guosheng, mobilize all guards. Follow the fire team into ambush and severely punish the pursuing Japanese troops."

"Yes."

Two o'clock in the morning.

It's a time when people are exhausted.

The Japanese troops were truly exhausted. They had set out from Yangquan Town that morning and had been harassed by special forces along the way. After finally reaching Zhangjiagou Village, the guerrillas still refused to let them rest properly. Furthermore, the people of Zhangjiagou Village had left nothing behind.

Food and drink were hard to come by. Food wasn't a big deal, as they had brought their own rations. But the lack of water was a major problem. Although they had some water with them, they had consumed most of it on the road.

After a tiring day, most of the Japanese soldiers fell into a deep sleep in the early morning.

Gao Wei and Tao Laifeng led their men to quietly infiltrate Zhangjiagou Village. Zhangjiagou Village was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and many small paths led to unknown passages. Although the Japanese were well-trained, they could not have discovered and posted sentries along all the paths in such a short period of time. The journey was exhausting, and by the time they reached Zhangjiagou Village, it was already dark. As a result, the Japanese were unable to fully explore the paths leading to Zhangjiagou Village.

Gao Wei and Tao Laifeng entered the village easily.

Among the platoon-level officers Gao Wei, Tao Laifeng, and Kong De, Gao Wei's fighting style was the most courageous and truly daring. This time was no different. Compared to the cautious Tao Laifeng on the other side, Gao Wei rushed straight into the center of the village.

Because Gao Wei guessed that the Japanese army was in the center of the village.

"Captain, are you looking at the Japanese sentry post?"

Gao Wei is indeed bold and careful.

They accurately found the location where the Japanese army was stationed. After all, it was a Japanese camp. Although the Japanese soldiers were exhausted, they still had sentries. Gao Wei whispered, "Disperse. Listen to my orders later and throw grenades inside. After that, we will retreat."

"Yes."

Gao Wei calculated the time in his mind.

When the time agreed with Tao Laifeng arrived, Gao Wei immediately took out a grenade from behind him.

These grenades were captured from the Japanese during the last ambush. Whether they were Jin-made or Japanese-made, the grenades were still very powerful.

"boom"

"Boom boom boom"

Four grenades per person.

In normal battles, grenades are precious, but this time it was a surprise attack, so they were not stingy at all.

Gao Wei led the team and threw all the grenades in their hands in the blink of an eye.

The front yard was attacked by dozens of grenades and instantly became a fire scene.

"withdraw."

This kind of sneak attack requires speed.

Because the opponent was the Japanese army, the Japanese army reacted very quickly. It was impossible for a Japanese army of nearly 100 people to live in one place. Although the Japanese army suffered heavy losses in the place where Gao Wei and his men attacked, the Japanese army in other places woke up instantly.

When Gao Wei and his men were evacuating, Japanese troops had already arrived.

"boom"

"bang bang"

Even though it was night, I couldn't see clearly.

But the Japanese troops who followed up, based on the swaying figures in front and the sound of the guerrillas' retreating footsteps, roughly determined the direction of the guerrillas and kept firing.

"Catch up and destroy them."

Aso Akashi looked at the room full of Japanese corpses, and the people had been blown up. The Japanese casualties along the way were already very heavy, and this surprise attack had caused even greater casualties. The heavy casualties even made Aso Akashi lose his mind.

Keep ordering the Japanese army to attack.

"boom"

"Da da da"

Wang Qiuyun ambushed the troops on the retreat route early on.

If the Japanese didn't catch up, everything would be fine. As long as the Japanese caught up, they would be dealt a heavy blow. The early morning in northeastern Shanxi was completely dark. Even if there was a moon, it would be of little use.

The power of the Japanese army's grenade launchers and heavy machine guns was greatly reduced at this moment.

Or grenade launchers and heavy machine guns are not used at all.

As expected, Aso Akashi lost his mind and ordered his men to pursue the retreating guerrillas without the protection of heavy weapons, running headfirst into an ambush that had been set up long ago.

Although the guerrillas' firepower was limited and it was pitch black at night, the Japanese were completely unprepared and still suffered heavy casualties.

"Bagaya Road."

"What are the casualties?"

"Lieutenant, the casualties are heavy. The Imperial Army has suffered 22 killed, 8 seriously wounded, and 24 slightly wounded. The Security Corps, there are only a few left. They were ambushed by the enemy just now, and the Security Corps scattered. Now there are only about twenty people left. Two light machine guns and two grenade launchers were destroyed."

"54 casualties?"

"Yes."

"Baga, baga. How many people were killed?"

"We found four bodies of the enemy, but we can't calculate the exact number of people we killed."

Aso Akashi felt restless.

With just this surprise attack, his side had suffered over fifty casualties. Aso Akashi counted the troops and realized he didn't have many left. Only about forty Japanese soldiers remained who were still uninjured. Adding in the minor wounded who could still fight, there were only about seventy. There were also over twenty seriously wounded, totaling around ninety. However, carrying around twenty or so seriously wounded soldiers directly impacted the unit's combat effectiveness.

Aso Akashi could not have imagined such heavy casualties.

When Aso Akashi left Yangquan Town that morning, he was confident he could easily defeat the so-called Zhangjiagou Village guerrillas. He hadn't expected the situation to turn out like this. Suddenly, Aso Akashi felt a little nervous.

What he was thinking about now was not how to wipe out the guerrillas in Zhangjiagou Village, but how to return safely to Yangquan Town or the county seat.

Chapter 019 Victory 2

"Zheng-san."

"Mr. Aso."

"idiot"

"Snapped!"

Aso Akashi got so angry that he slapped Zheng Jinsheng in the face.

Then he said, "You boasted to me about how powerful your security team was. Look at you now. How many people are left in your security team? You took over 300 guns from us, and this is how you get things done?"

"I'm sorry, Lord Aso. When I return, I will train my troops well and serve the Imperial Army."

If the Zheng family hadn't been staying in Sheng County, Zheng Jinsheng would have wanted to flee with his men. The Eighth Route Army was truly formidable, and Zheng Jinsheng was truly terrified. For the first time, he realized that warfare was not what he had imagined.

"Mr. Aso, what should we do now? Do we still have to go up the mountain after daybreak?"

"What do you think?"

"Mr. Aso, we Chinese have an old saying: 'As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.' We were a little careless this time, so we suffered heavy casualties. We will prepare well when we return and come back to destroy them next time."

Zheng Jinsheng didn't want to stay in this damn Zhangjiagou Village for even a minute.

So I quickly gave Aso Akashi some advice.

Run quickly.

Aso Akashi also wanted to run away, but he couldn't say it out loud. Now that Zheng Jinsheng had said it, Aso Akashi was very happy. So he immediately said, "No one is allowed to sleep to prevent the enemy from attacking. Leave Zhangjiagou Village at dawn tomorrow."

The sky was just beginning to brighten, but it was still quite dark overall.

The Japanese troops had quietly packed up and left Zhangjiagou Village in a state of disarray. Aso Akashi had been on guard against guerrilla attacks for over three hours, starting at two in the morning.

But the effect is not very obvious.

The Japanese army had no idea about the terrain of Zhangjiagou Village. Their attack was rather hasty, as they deeply despised the Shengxian guerrilla army. However, their haste and inadequate investigation of Zhangjiagou Village put them in a completely passive position.

Most of the guerrillas were young people from Zhangjiagou Village. They were very familiar with the paths in and around Zhangjiagou Village. Wang Qiuyun divided the guerrillas into several small teams and attacked the Japanese army from all directions of Zhangjiagou Village.

The same measures Wei Hongjun took on the road.

They didn't care how many people were killed, they just shot and ran.
