Returning to the regiment station, the excited Commander Wang was very tired, but the huge harvest made him so excited that he couldn't sleep.
Soon, the chief of staff and Commander Zhou rushed in excitedly.
"Commander, all the results have been tallied!" the chief of staff reported as soon as he saw Commander Wang.
"Your judgment is good. The little devil has indeed hoarded a lot of good things in the Pingdingzhuang stronghold!"
"Including the stronghold and the battlefield, we seized a total of five mortars, seven heavy machine guns, 17 light machine guns, various rifles, and pistols, a total of 439..."
"Next is Big Head. A total of more than 100,000 rounds of various bullets were seized, all in boxes and boxes, including heavy machine gun bullets and rifle machine gun bullets!"
"There are 650 rounds of mortar shells, 200 rounds of special grenade grenades, and more than 1,500 grenades, all packed in boxes, and we carried them all back!"
"There is also food. From the stronghold and the two gun towers, a total of more than 32,000 kilograms of grain were seized, all of which were rice and white flour, no coarse grains. More than 3,000 kilograms of pork, nearly a hundred kilograms of salt, and thirty boxes of canned food were also seized...
…”
"In addition, according to the order, when we retreated, we took off all the military uniforms and shoes that were still wearable on the little Japs!"
"Thank you for your hard work, soldiers!" Commander Wang replied with excitement on his face.
Then he stared at Commander Zhou and ordered: "Tonight, your regiment has made great achievements, and you will be rewarded for your merits. This is the discipline of our Eighth Route Army. After the operation is over, I will definitely take credit for your regiment. However, those rewards
It’s too far, I’ll give you a more direct reward first!”
"Of the grain and pork that were seized just now, five thousand kilograms of grain and one thousand kilograms of pork were left behind. In the past two days, all the troops have been eating dry food. Give the soldiers a good reward!"
"Chief of Staff, please make arrangements to send three thousand kilograms of grain and two hundred kilograms of pork to each regiment on the front line. In the past two days, all the troops on the front line will eat dry food. Only when they are well fed can the troops fight the Japanese soldiers well."
"For the troops staying behind, each regiment will send two thousand kilograms of grain and one hundred and fifty kilograms of pork, so that everyone can have a good meal and enjoy the fruits of our victory tonight!"
The chief of staff immediately replied: "Commander, don't worry, I will make arrangements after dawn to ensure that the soldiers have dry pork for lunch!"
"Chief, Commander Wang, urgent call!" Suddenly, the operator rushed in with a telegram.
Commander Wang received the telegram directly.
Soon, the smile on his face disappeared and he looked serious.
"Fortunately, Wang Ping was in the little devil's belly and intercepted this information. Otherwise, we would definitely suffer a big loss during the day tomorrow!"
"Chief of Staff, please make arrangements now. Before dawn, the main regiments on the front line must receive food and pork. The soldiers must be well fed in the morning!"
"Also, order the second regiment of the reserve team to come over and come directly here!"
"Captain Zhou, prepare breakfast before dawn. For the two regiments, we will use the grain and pork we just captured to ensure that the soldiers are full. Everyone can get three ounces of meat. If it is not enough, just use canned meat instead.
!”
"Also, let the soldiers who have no mission take time to rest. There will be action during the day tomorrow!"
The chief of staff and Commander Zhou asked at the same time: "Is something wrong?"
"Not bad!" Commander Wang didn't hide anything!
"Wang Ping has arrived outside Liulin City. They intercepted an intelligence message by monitoring the Japs' phone lines. Tomorrow during the day, the Japs will launch a retaliatory attack on us. The goal is to kill one of our regiments. All other directions are feint attacks. The regiment here is
Main attack!"
"Wang Ping suggested that we prepare a pocket formation here to stop the Japs first, and then send the Japs' attacking troops into our base area to annihilate them all!"
"I decided to fight this battle according to Wang Ping's suggestion!"
The chief of staff frowned and asked, "Do you know the strength of the Japanese attacking force?"
"I know!" Commander Wang replied.
Then he analyzed with confidence: "Half an infantry brigade of Japanese soldiers, a battalion of puppet troops, a total strength of more than 800 people~ If I didn't even know this, I wouldn't have the guts to decide to fight this ambush battle that lures the enemy in!
"
The chief of staff hesitated for a few seconds and reminded: "Commander, is this too risky?"
"For more than 800 days, most of the puppet troops are little Japs, and they still ambush them during the day. Maybe the Japs' planes will also come over to kill them. When the time comes, it will only take a few bombs to blow up, and our ambush troops will suffer heavy losses.
!”
"We have fought this kind of ambush before, and we basically lost both our wives and our troops!"
"If it were night, we would definitely fight this ambush battle~ But the enemy's attack time happens to be at night, maybe they are waiting for us to ambush them, and then they can counter-ambush us!"
Commander Wang confidently replied: "It's not risky at all... If it were before, this battle would indeed be risky. But after listening to Wang Ping's advice in the telegram, you won't think so anymore!"
"Also, we were always timid in fighting in the past. Tonight's battle made me realize that sometimes by concentrating all our strength and fighting to the death, we can not only kill the enemy, but also create a better future!"
Seeing that the Chief of Staff and Commander Zhou still looked worried, Commander Wang continued to explain: "In Wang Ping's suggestion, the entire operation is divided into two parts: blocking, ambush..."
"Draw out a regiment of troops, equipped only with light weapons, and prepare three blocking positions for the Japanese attacking troops on our way to lure the enemy deeper. Each blocking position only takes ten or twenty minutes to fight, and then we will present the Japanese with a pattern that we cannot
Take the initiative to withdraw from the position in a posture of self-defeat..."
"Three lines of defense, each line of defense destroyed a hundred Japanese and puppet troops, and the battle was ended quickly. Even if the Japanese planes came over, it would have no effect!"
"After breaking through our three lines of defense in a row, the Japanese and puppet troops still have more than 500 people. At that time, we will concentrate one main group, all the heavy firepower of the two groups, plus all the light and heavy machine guns and mortars we captured tonight
, prepare a dragnet for the Japanese, and use bullets and cannonballs to kill them within half an hour!"
"With all the heavy firepower of the two regiments plus all the captures we made tonight, do you know how powerful they are?"
"Twenty heavy machine guns, ten mortars, more than thirty light machine guns, and more than a thousand rifles!" Commander Zhou answered with his mouth open.
Then he analyzed with a look of shock: "At that time, one light and heavy machine gun will kill five Japs, plus ten mortars will kill and injure dozens of Japs. It only takes one round of shooting to kill the Japs in the middle of the attacking force."
There are not many people left!"
"When the time comes, we only need one assault to end the battle quickly!"
"One more question?" The chief of staff also recovered from the shock and asked, staring at Commander Wang.
"The ambush battle will definitely be conducted during the day, and there will definitely be Japanese fighter planes patrolling and guarding. Without a suitable battlefield, it would be impossible to ambush so many troops!"
Captain Zhou immediately replied: "I know a place!"
"Just one kilometer behind our defense line, there is a hilly mountainous area. The road leads from the foot of the mountain. We can ambush the troops on the mountainside and concentrate heavy firepower on the mountain tops, covering the entire battlefield from a high position!"
"Then decide where to go!" Commander Wang made a decisive decision.
"Your regiment has experience in fighting this kind of ambush. At eight o'clock in the morning, the entire regiment will enter the battlefield as a company to hide~"
"The second regiment takes over the position and blocks the attack. The retreating troops will bring the Japanese attacking troops to your side!"
