    Standing on the hillside, Li Guoyao's eyes were fixed on the battle in the valley!

    The situation on the battlefield came into view clearly. To be honest, although these Japanese soldiers were just rear garrison troops, their combat effectiveness could only be considered average among all the Japanese invaders.

    But even so, the combat effectiveness of these devils is still beyond what the average Chinese army can contend with.

    Although the troops under his command are also elites who have undergone arduous training, due to the quality of the overall soldier supply, the soldiers' fighting will and cultural level are far inferior to those of the little devils at the foot of the mountain.

    And all of this is ultimately reflected in combat effectiveness, so once the troops start a face-to-face hand-to-hand combat with the Japs, the gap will suddenly become apparent.

    Li Guoyao frowned and said to Xu Ziyu who was protecting him: "Let the pistol team go up and order the brothers to use guns as much as possible if they can use guns!"

    "yes!"

    Following Li Guoyao's order, more than a hundred soldiers armed with double guns rushed down from the hillside to join the battle.

    I saw these soldiers entering the battlefield and quickly pulling the trigger. After a burst of crackling gunfire on the battlefield, a large number of Japanese soldiers with bayonets fell to the ground, and they all died with their eyes open.

    The Pistol Squadron of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps is a close combat unit formed by Li Guoyao imitating the Pistol Battalion of the 59th Army. To be honest, the combat effectiveness of the pistol is indeed not high, because among all weapons and equipment, the pistol is only a self-defense weapon.

    Because the bullets fired by pistols have light warheads, small powder charges, and generally have a short effective range, a pistol that can kill within fifty meters is considered good. The vast majority of pistols have an effective killing radius of only more than ten meters.  It is of limited use in positional battles that are often several kilometers or more than ten kilometers deep.

    Because of this, in most armies, pistols are generally only issued to officers and second-line troops as self-defense weapons, and field troops are almost never equipped on a large scale.

    However, not all countries¡¯ armies are like this. At least there is an exception in China. The only army in the world that is equipped with pistols on a large scale is the Chinese army.

    According to records, during the Republic of China, from the warlord Sun Chuanfang to the Northwest Army and even the Red Army, they all liked to organize and equip "pistol teams", especially Feng Yuxiang, who frequently formed battalions and brigades.

    After Feng Yuxiang¡¯s Northwest Army failed in the Central Plains War, the army was reorganized by Zhang Xueliang, and the tradition of forming a pistol battalion was inherited by the 29th Army, including Zhang Zizhong¡¯s 38th Division.

    During the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, the 29th Army defeated the Japanese army at Xifengkou. It was said that it was done by the Broadsword Team, but in fact it was a pistol company. The main weapon equipped was a pistol. In addition, everyone had a sword.

    After the July 7th Incident, Zhang Zizhong¡¯s 38th Division and the 26th Independent Brigade were organized into the 59th Army. Zhang Zizhong was the commander, and the commander of the 38th Division was taken over by Huang Weigang.  After the establishment of the 59th Army, it still retained the organization of the pistol battalion and company, and played a huge role in the subsequent head-on contest with the Japanese army.

    Li Guoyao, the Pistol Battalion of the 59th Army, had seen him on the Bengbu front line before. All of them are elite forces drawn from the entire army. To be selected into such a team, first of all, they must be loyal; secondly, their physical condition must also be outstanding, not to mention  Even those who are selected from a hundred must be stronger than most people; in the end, they must undergo rigorous training, so their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

    The weapons this unit is equipped with are mainly shell guns, which are the 20-shot box guns we are familiar with. They can be fired single or continuously, and their close combat firepower is very strong.

    In addition to the 20-shot box cannon, the pistol battalion also has a company of portable machine guns, which are submachine guns.

    The earliest portable machine guns equipped in China are the German MP18 and MP28 submachine guns. Because the Chinese army lacks firepower, they are often used as machine guns.

    This weapon was used by the 18 warriors of the Red Army when they forcibly crossed the Dadu River. When it became large, the firepower was quite fierce.

    The Pistol Battalion is not only the reconnaissance force of the 59th Army, but also the guard of senior officers.

    In Li Guoyao's view, they are more like a special force dedicated to performing special tasks, but compared to the real special force, they are still a little rough, and their combat effectiveness is difficult to compare with those of later generations.

    After seeing the powerful combat effectiveness of this unit, Li Guoyao immediately ordered people to form a pistol company.

    It¡¯s just that Li Guoyao¡¯s pistol company had been mixed with the special forces before. During the reorganization of the troops some time ago, Li Guoyao separated this unit. Xu Ziyu served as the squadron leader, and his main task was to be responsible for Li Guoyao¡¯s safety.

    Originally, Li Guoyao did not plan to use this force today, but in order to reduce the casualties of the troops and to resolve the battle as soon as possible, Li GuoyaoYao Cai ordered the pistol squadron to also enter the battle.

    With the addition of the pistol squadron, those little Japs who were only thinking about bayonet fights with the defenders were confused. They angrily accused Li Guoyao's troops of not having the spirit of Bushido. How could they shoot when they were fighting bayonets?

    To this, Li Guoyao could only say "haha", what the hell, Bushido is a matter for your little Japan, and our Chinese army pays attention to this.

    With the assistance of the Pistol Squadron, in less than twenty minutes, the remaining hundreds of Japanese soldiers on the battlefield were swept to the ground. In an instant, only Tsuchiya soldiers and horses and five or six guards and staff were left on the battlefield.  .

    Li Guoyao did not order the soldiers to persuade them to surrender. Since the Japanese commander on the opposite side had to resist stubbornly under such circumstances, he obviously had no intention of surrendering, and it was useless to persuade him to surrender.

    For these stubborn militarists, Li Guoyao's only idea was to eliminate them all.

    And with a burst of rapid machine gunfire, all Japanese soldiers, including Tsuchiya soldiers and horses, fell to the ground, and the sound of gunfire that had been ringing for half a night at Fortress Ridge finally stopped.

    After the gunfire stopped, I didn¡¯t know who started the attack, and I heard excited cheers from the soldiers on the battlefield!

    "Hahaha, I won! I won! I won!"

    "What the hell, I finally won the battle. I killed four Japanese soldiers!"

    "Er boy, have you seen it? I'm going to avenge you"

    With this situation, even Li Guoyao, who has always been overwhelmed by the mountain without changing his expression, could not hide his excitement!

    ???????????????????????????? But look at the sky, it¡¯s already bright, and the Japs¡¯ plane will soon be approaching for reconnaissance, it¡¯s really not advisable to stay here for a long time!

    Li Guoyao immediately ordered the troops to clean up the battlefield immediately and seize the time to move!

    An hour before the battle on Li Guoyao and others' side ended, the battle outside Zaozhuang City also stopped!

    Originally, Ma Desheng planned to capture Zaozhuang City, but found that the Japs in the city resisted extremely fiercely, and the troops suffered heavy losses at the city gate. In addition, the arsenal in the city had been destroyed by the special forces, so he thought twice about it.  Ma Desheng decided to give up taking Zaozhuang.

    After the second ambush at Fortress Ridge began, Ma Desheng knew that his work was done, so he commanded the troops to withdraw from the battle, and then rushed to Fortress Ridge to join Li Guoyao and others.

    It only took less than an hour to clean the battlefield. In fact, the seizures in this battle were far less than expected. The reason was that the ammunition carried by the little devils was basically exhausted, and a large part of the weapons and equipment were also blown up.  , so the loot is not much.

    An hour and a half later, Ma Desheng arrived at Fortress Ridge with the troops withdrawn from Zaozhuang City. By this time, the battlefield had been cleaned. After the two sides met, the army returned to Xiong'er Mountain in a mighty manner.

    Less than half an hour after Li Guoyao and others evacuated, two Japanese reconnaissance planes arrived at Fortress Ridge. The Japanese pilots saw the thick smoke and fire that had not yet been extinguished on the battlefield at high altitudes. They noticed that the direction of Fortress Ridge was unusual, and then took the risk.  Conduct low altitude reconnaissance.

    When they dropped to a few hundred meters, they finally saw clearly what was going on in the valley!

    I saw that the huge valley was full of corpses of Japanese soldiers, layer upon layer, no less than a few thousand, as if it was a slaughterhouse.

    After being shocked, the pilot of the Little Devil immediately reported the situation to Zaozhuang and Jinan!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
