Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

The Japanese army was indeed very rampant.

Of the twelve mule and horse trains, there was only one infantry squad of Japanese soldiers, a total of thirteen in total. The rest were all ruffians and scoundrels that the Japanese had recruited after entering Sheng County, as well as some former members of the Sheng County Police Department.

They have never fought a war and have no fighting ability.

However, the Japanese are so arrogant, but there must be reasons for their arrogance.

It had only been a little over three months since the July 7 Incident. The Japanese army had advanced at a rapid pace, defeating one opponent after another. Under such circumstances, the Japanese were naturally arrogant.

They had no scouts or cordons along the way.

A Japanese infantry squad was in the middle, and the mule convoy was flanked by traitorous troops. In Sheng County, the Japanese army only focused on the remnants of the 29th Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and did not take the other two guerrilla units seriously.

"Gao Wei, Tao Laifeng, the two of you take the men to block both sides. People can run, but the mule carts can't move."

"Yes."

"Kong De, Zhang Shan, you're all veteran hunters, so don't let me down. Follow my orders and aim at the Japanese machine gun squad in the middle. There are more than twenty of you, and I want to wipe out all four of their machine gun squad in the first round. If the machine guns get involved, our casualties will be heavy."

"Instructor, don't worry."

Kong De's eyes were firm as he gave Wei Hongjun a guarantee.

"Go and do the pre-war mobilization. Don't make them nervous."

"Yes."

After Kong De and Zhang Shan left, Wei Hongjun looked at Zhang Dahu next to him and said, "Brother Dahu, how about you and I take out their sergeant and corporal? I'll take out the sergeant, and you take out the corporal?"

"I beat the sergeant."

Zhang Dahu's answer was brief.

Wei Hongjun did not refute and said directly: "Okay. You shoot the sergeant, and I will shoot the corporal. Pass my order, and everyone else, aim at the Japanese soldier in the middle. After firing a shot, use the grenade to greet him, and use all the grenades in your hand.

Then blow the charge."

Chapter 006 Victory

The temperature in northeastern Shanxi is already very low in October.

Ono Shiro tightened his clothes.

He didn't like his current life. Although Ono Shiro was born into a civilian family and never attended a military academy, he would never become an officer. However, Ono Shiro was still an avid supporter of war. He loved fighting on the battlefield.

However, since they pursued the 29th Army into Sheng County, they have been in Sheng County and have not fought for a long time.

Because of the losses suffered in the battles with the 29th Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, the troops had just replenished their squadron with personnel and also sent in munitions and supplies. But Ono Shiro still had little interest in staying in a place like Sheng County. Chasing the Chinese troops on the battlefield was Ono Shiro's favorite thing to do.

Now they are actually doing things like transporting supplies.

Sheng County Security Corps?

What the hell was that? Ono Shiro really didn't understand why they had to recruit a motley crew like the Shengxian Security Corps. Even if there wasn't a Shengxian Security Corps, defeating the 300 or so remnants of the 29th Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army would have been easy.

When can I return to the battlefield? In this small Sheng County, it is really a place where heroes have no place to use their skills.

Ono Shiro couldn't help yawning.

"boom"

Ono Shiro didn't even close his mouth.

His eyes widened, he died without understanding what had happened. Zhang Dahu was truly capable; no wonder the young men of Zhangjiagou Village were so convinced of him. From a distance of about 80 meters, he had killed Ono Shiro with a single shot.

Of course Wei Hongjun is not bad either.

Wei Hongjun served in the army for seven years and was also a sharpshooter.

The sergeant next to Ono Shiro was shot down by Wei Hongjun. The gunshots from Wei Hongjun and Zhang Dahu were the signal, and the Eighth Route Army led by Wei Hongjun and the hunters from Zhangjiagou Village led by Kong De and Zhang Shan all opened fire at the same time.

The Eighth Route Army and the Zhangjiagou Village guerrillas had nearly seventy guns in total. Although many of them were of poor quality, they were still guns.

And everyone is quite strong.

Needless to say, the Eighth Route Army soldiers accompanying Wei Hongjun were essentially veterans, nearly half of whom were elite veterans of the Long March. They couldn't all be considered sharpshooters, but they were all battle-hardened warriors. The Zhangjiagou Village guerrillas were a motley crew, but those hunters were no pushovers.

In other words, everyone's weapons and equipment are poor.

Otherwise, let alone an infantry squad, even a small Japanese team could seriously injure him under such an ambush.

Because the Japanese and puppet troops were completely unprepared.

The battlefield immediately fell into chaos.

"Grenade."

Wei Hongjun did not give the Japanese army any chance to react.

The first round of shooting killed five people and injured six, two of them seriously. An infantry squad of thirteen Japanese soldiers was crippled in the first round.

However, the Japanese army reacted quickly.

Immediately lie down, prepare to find cover to hide, and then fight back.

How could Wei Hongjun give them this opportunity? This time, Wei Hongjun brought all the grenades in the army. Of course, they brought all the grenades, but there were only about twenty of them. But these twenty or so were enough to fight a battle.

From a high position, they threw it specifically towards the location of the Japanese troops.

"Tick-tick-tick"

"Go ahead"

"Go ahead"

Three guns and eight routes.

What this means is that the Eighth Route Army likes to fire three shots and then charge.

Besides being short on ammunition, the Eighth Route Army's style of warfare was primarily employed in ambushes. This was because ambushes were all about speed. If an ambush couldn't be concluded quickly, it would devolve into a face-to-face positional battle. In this regard, the Eighth Route Army, lacking heavy weaponry, suffered a disadvantage.

Therefore, the best way is to catch the enemy off guard and charge before they can recover from the chaos, thus disrupting their formation and giving them a shock.

The same is true for Wei Hongjun this time.

First, give the enemy a warning and eliminate the most combat-capable Japanese troops. Then, use a charge to solve the problem.

The Eighth Route Army and the Zhangjiagou Village guerrillas totaled over a hundred people, and although many of them were armed with cold weapons like machetes and spears, the sheer number of them charging down was still quite intimidating.

The Japanese army was very strong, but Wei Hongjun concentrated all his strength to attack the Japanese. As a result, after the grenade was thrown, only two Japanese soldiers were still able to fight, and both were injured.

As for the traitor troops, they have no combat effectiveness at all.

After the July 7 Incident, the Japanese army dominated the battlefield. There were no large-scale puppet troops surrounding the Japanese army. The puppet troops during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression were not as random as people imagine.

The Japanese army had a set of procedures for training puppet troops.

In addition to the organized Chinese troops who accepted the surrender, the rest of the puppet troops were trained by the Japanese army. In order to build loyal puppet troops, the Japanese opened military academies all over China to train puppet army officers.

The Japanese army has not yet taken any measures in this regard.

Given that few Nationalist troops had surrendered, there weren't many puppet troops left. The few puppet troops that did exist, like the traitorous unit in Sheng County, were local thugs who defected to the Japanese after they occupied a region. They were armed and provided with weapons, and used to perform odd jobs, rather than fight. To put it bluntly, the combat effectiveness of these traitorous units was vastly inferior to that of the Nationalist troops that later surrendered in formation, and the puppet troops that the Japanese had personally trained and armed.

When the ambush began, most of the traitor troops were already lying on the ground, trembling.

These ruffians usually rely on the support of the Japanese to bully ordinary people, but they have never seen a real war.

So even though they had weapons in their hands, they did not have the courage to fight back when faced with a group of farmers holding swords and javelins.

"Instructor, we've captured twenty-one puppet soldiers. What should we do with them?"

"Leave the gun and the clothes, give him a lecture, and then let him go."

Wei Hongjun wanted to shoot them all.

But the Eighth Route Army had its own discipline. But we couldn't give clothes to the twenty-odd people. Even now, the weather was getting colder, but everyone was still wearing single clothing. The Japanese and puppet troops' clothing was quite warm.

"Yes."

"Clean up the battlefield quickly and leave in ten minutes."

Chapter 007 Harvest

1937 10 Month 12 Day.

On this day, the village of Zhangjiagou was filled with the sound of gongs and drums, and hundreds of people came out to see the return of the heroic troops who had fought against the Japanese invaders.

The fight was won.

Although only thirteen Japanese soldiers were killed, it was still a memorable event for the people of Zhangjiagou Village. It was also a day that the guerrillas would never forget. This was the first battle fought and the first victory of the guerrillas since their founding. For a newly formed unit, nothing was more important than victory.

"Instructor Wei, you have demonstrated the might of the Eighth Route Army and the might of the guerrillas."

Li Shiping was the happiest.

With this victory, the Zhangjiagou Village guerrillas can be officially established.

"Teacher Li, you have made an indelible contribution to this victory. The Zhangjiagou Village guerrillas have made an indelible contribution, as have the villagers of Zhangjiagou Village. This is a victory for the Eighth Route Army, and even more so for all of us, the army and the people."

Wei Hongjun is a political cadre.

Such a "great victory" was a good opportunity to promote anti-Japanese resistance and expand the guerrillas, so of course they would not miss it. So they stood up and said to the jubilant guerrillas: "Are the Japanese devils invulnerable to swords and guns?"

"No"

"Do the Japs have three heads and six arms?"

"no"

"Since the Japs aren't invulnerable, nor do they have superhuman powers, are you afraid of them?"

“Don’t be afraid!!!”

"Now the Japanese devils have come to China, wanting to seize our land and kill our parents, relatives, brothers and sisters. Can we agree to this?"

"No, no"

"Down with little Japan!"

"Down with little Japan!!!"

The atmosphere was brought to a very high level by Wei Hongjun.

Not only the guerrillas, but also many villagers from Zhangjiagou Village spontaneously joined in. Suddenly, a man jumped out from among the villagers and shouted, "I want to join the guerrillas and fight the devils too."

"Add me one."

"Fight the Japs."
