Li Wenjie continued to arrange: "So this attack on the stronghold, Lao Zhu, I think we can generally divide it into four steps."
"The first step is not to have too many people. We must draw a squad from our company. This squad must be composed of veterans with rich experience and flexible minds. They are responsible for entering the Japanese stronghold at night and placing all the detonators and explosives.
The package is in place."
"The second step is to start the feint attack. After luring the enemy out of the stronghold and the gun tower, detonate the explosive package at the right time. Pay special attention to the heavy machine gun fortification and place the largest explosive package close to the wall of the bunker.
Even if the bomb can't kill the little Japs, it can still blow up the Japs' semi-underground machine gun fortifications."
"The third step is to arrange explosive packs at the entrance of the Japanese barbed wire fence in advance. After blowing up the gap in the surrounding barbed wire fence, the main force will directly launch an attack on the stronghold."
"Fourth, there is a medium-sized Japanese stronghold a few kilometers away from this stronghold. Once our attack begins, the Japanese and puppet troops in this medium-sized stronghold will definitely send troops to support them. Following the highway, they will be able to catch up soon.
arrived, so we have to arrange for reinforcements."
"As for the specific deployment, such as the elite squad to place the explosive packs, how to act midway, what details to pay attention to, and remember the locations of the Japanese minefields and sentinel points in advance, these tasks must be prepared in advance."
"After launching the attack, we have to divide the work in advance for the battle. The sharpshooter team is responsible for destroying the Japanese artillery and machine gunners. The grenade team has similar goals to the sharpshooter team, focusing on taking care of the Japanese artillery and machine guns. After that, for
The main attacking force provides cover fire."
"In addition, the grenade throwing team is responsible for replenishing grenades and providing close artillery support. Several comrades are good experts from Wang Gensheng. The machine gun muzzles in the turrets and bunkers will be left to you."
"As for the reinforcement troops, naturally I will lay mines on the roads that the Japanese must pass through in advance, and distribute some of your newly developed explosive packs to stop the enemy."
"The minefields and explosive packets were laid in a separate area. The Japanese stepped on the mines. During the demining process by the engineers, the reinforcement troops conducted fire blocking. If the Japanese troops were shelled, they would retreat immediately."
……
……
Li Wenjie arranged it carefully.
"Lao Zhu, do you have anything else to add?"
Zhu Wule said: "I don't have such a detailed brain arrangement. You have thought of everything I can think of, and you have thought of everything I haven't thought of. I have nothing to add."
"Comrades, do you have anything else to add? As long as it's something you can think of, just say it."
Wang Guidao: "Company commander, instructor, I want to join the team that places the explosive packs."
The soldiers around him said nothing, but they all admired him in their hearts.
According to Li Wenjie's three steps, the one with the highest risk factor is naturally the elite team who placed the explosive packs.
In order to successfully infiltrate the Japanese stronghold under the careful defense of the Japanese stronghold, and to place the explosive packs and pull the wires under the nose of the Japanese, this is not a simple task.
The elite squad is the most important link, but once the elite squad is exposed, all Zhu Wu and Li Wenjie can do is open fire outside the stronghold to cover the evacuation of the elite squad.
In the Japanese stronghold, there are bungalows, gun towers, and the firepower of machine gun fortifications, which is not weak.
As for how many people can be removed, no one can say.
Once the elite squad is exposed and the mission of planting explosive packs fails, it also means that tonight's plan is completely ruined.
This is a narrow escape mission.
Wang Gui was the first to step forward.
Then, the national army soldiers who surrendered with Wang Gui expressed their willingness to follow Wang Gui and join the elite squad.
Li Wenjie shook his head and said: "Wang Gui, you are good at charging and have rich combat experience. It is most suitable to be included in the main force of the charge. As for this elite squad, I have other candidates, so don't say any more.
."
Wang Gui insisted: "Instructor, don't you believe us? We can do it."
Wang Gui's determination even touched Zhu Wu. Zhu Wu thought, if it were him, he might agree.
Li Wenjie said with a serious face: "What are you talking about? It's not that I don't trust you Wang Gui, it's just that this operation of placing explosives requires the cooperation of the entire squad. You don't have enough people, and Wang Gui, you are not the squad leader."
experience.
The fifth squad leader died not long ago. The company commander and I are considering transferring you to the fifth squad to be the squad leader. When you gain more experience, I will naturally hand over this kind of task to you. Okay, just carry out the order!" "Yes!"
Wang Gui responded. When he heard that he was going to be the squad leader, his original depression immediately disappeared.
Then, Li Wenjie began to select people, and each name seemed to be engraved in his heart in advance, "... Tiezhu... Forget it, Tiezhu, you won't go. You are the third squad leader, and you have to lead the third squad.
Well, let’s change to the dragon!”
Finally, Li Wenjie and Zhu Wu discussed, "Lao Zhu, how about we divide our work separately? You are responsible for the main charge, and I am responsible for the follow-up artillery support?"
"Okay!" Zhu Wu responded.
When the soldiers received the order and went to prepare, walking side by side on the road, Zhu Wu suddenly asked: "Wenjie, why do you insist not to let Wang Gui participate in the operation?"
"We have all seen Wang Gui's transformation over the past few years. He is very brave when fighting, and his marksmanship is even more powerful. Every time he goes to the battlefield, this guy is always at the top of the list of Japanese he kills."
"Just now he insisted again and again, I almost felt moved."
Li Wenjie said: "Lao Zhu, as I said before, the operation of planting the explosive packs this time relied on the cooperation of the group, not the ability of the individual."
"Wang Gui is indeed a very capable warrior, but he has a strong sense of personal heroism. Lao Zhu, I don't know if you have noticed. Every time he fights, Wang Gui rushes to the front. Those who originally followed him
The team was directly left behind by him."
"If you look at it from a personal perspective, Wang Gui is indeed a brave warrior."
"It's okay for him to be just a soldier now, but one day, if he becomes the backbone of our company and becomes the squad leader, what about the platoon leader?"
"On the battlefield, the squad leader and platoon leader abandoned his team and went to charge as a hero. As a result, he left the team behind without anyone to direct him and without any combat cooperation. What if such a situation occurs?"
"This is irresponsible for the lives of the entire class and even the entire platoon of soldiers."
Zhu Wu suddenly realized: "Wenjie, when you say that, that's really what happened."
Li Wenjie said: "So when will Wang Gui get over his temper and really realize the change in the relationship between the group and the individual? At that time, maybe we can leave Class 5 to him with confidence!"
Zhu Wudao: "What about the third squad leader? The third squad leader is a veteran of our ninth company. Although you euphemistically said before that the third squad leader must still lead the soldiers of the third squad, I can hear that you denied him." "I really can't hide anything from you." Li Wenjie had no choice but to explain: "Tie Zhu has a serious personality, and the soldiers in the third squad usually respect him more than being close to him."
"Although we must be cautious in this operation to plant the explosive packs, we must not be too stressed. If the iron pillar is allowed to pass, the soldiers in the operation will inevitably feel nervous. If something goes wrong again, it will not be easy to deal with."
"So that's what happened."
Zhu Wu laughed and said: "Wenjie, Wenjie, you have been talking about others, have you noticed that you have also changed a lot during this time?"
"Oh? Is there any?"
"Of course, there are more than 100 soldiers of our Ninth Company, from the platoon leader to the squad leader, and even to the comrades at the bottom, I found that no matter who you mention, there seems to be nothing you don't understand!"
"You can even assign each soldier to a combat position that best suits them based on their personality and abilities."
"It's amazing that the instructor can do what you do. I, Lao Zhu, am convinced."
"Wenjie, is it possible that you have been asking the soldiers in the company to listen to stories during this period, and this is the result?"
Zhu Wu said a lot of praise, but Li Wenjie smiled sheepishly and said, "Is there really such a big change? I didn't even notice it myself."
"Really! Can I still lie to you?" Zhu Wu stared.
Li Wenjie suddenly realized, and then felt relieved. For some reason, a figure appeared in his mind. It was a figure holding a stack of bowls and helping the wounded to prepare meals.
What filled his ears was the respect and love he received from the soldiers of the company.
When he suddenly came back to his senses, he seemed to be getting closer and closer to that figure - Instructor Jiang!
