"It won't work to counterattack with artillery, nor will we send troops to counterattack. Then we have no choice but to watch helplessly as the Eighth Route Army continues to bombard our base with mortars, waiting to be bombed!" The adjutant asked anxiously, frowning.
.
The deputy captain shook his head and replied: "Absolutely not. Although the artillery shells that the Eighth Route Army smashed into the military camp were not accurate, some people were still killed and injured. If the Eighth Route Army had enough ammunition and continued to bomb like this overnight, we would definitely suffer a lot of losses! I estimate,
Two infantry squads are indispensable!"
Two infantry squads were lost without even seeing the enemy's shadow. The captain could not accept this result no matter what.
More importantly, after losing two infantry squads for no reason, the morale of the troops will be greatly affected, and this also means that from now on, the troops will have no way to rest!
If you don't get enough rest, you won't have enough energy when fighting tomorrow, and your troops won't be able to fully exert their combat effectiveness.
If there is a fight in this situation, the casualties will definitely be very high.
Vicious cycle...
The captain suddenly thought of these four words, and then his brows furrowed into a big "Sichuan" sign.
"No, this kind of thing must not be allowed to happen, allowing the Eighth Route Army's conspiracy to be realized and affecting the combat effectiveness of the army!" the captain said through gritted teeth.
After a moment of hesitation, he began to give orders: "If an infantry squad fights back, the Eighth Route Army can wipe them all out in a short time. Then we will dispatch an infantry squadron. I don't believe that the Eighth Route Army has the strength to wipe out one of our squadrons in such a short time!"
"
"If they cannot be eliminated, then they will be waiting for our crazy revenge."
The deputy captain reacted immediately: "Sir, what if they don't ambush our counterattack troops?"
"Then chase them so they don't have time to bombard us!"
Xiong Changhe was very happy. He didn't know how many Japanese soldiers the artillery platoon had killed, but it was an indisputable fact that he himself commanded the troops to eliminate two Japanese patrols and an infantry squad.
I never thought that under the nose of the Japanese, I could achieve such great results.
I have nothing but admiration for the group leader Wang Ping.
Today, his two companies are equipped with eighteen light machine guns, five of which were just captured.
More importantly, the morale of the troops was very good. Even though they had traveled for several hours in the middle of the night, no one showed a tired expression on their faces. They were all gearing up and planning to fight the Japs again.
Suddenly, Li Wen rushed over panting.
Xiong Changhe's face was instantly covered with a smile. He stared at him and asked, "Captain Li, are there any Japs coming out again?"
"Your direct team is simply amazing. The first three battles relied on the accurate information you provided. I was able to accurately prepare pocket formations in front of the Japanese and then kill them!"
"How many Japanese are coming this time? Where are we going to deal with them?"
As soon as he saw Li Wen, Xiong Changhe was so excited that he asked a series of questions without giving Li Wen a chance to speak.
After finally waiting for Xiong Changhe to stop, Li Wencai replied with a helpless expression: "Captain Xiong, we are going to make a mistake this time!"
"The Japanese sent troops, but they sent an entire infantry squadron!"
"I suggest that we don't fight for now. If there are more than a hundred Japs, the ambush may turn into a stalemate. When the main Japs come, we will be attacked from both sides."
Xiong Changhe would definitely listen to Li Wen's suggestion and issued the order to retreat on the spot.
However, it is not Xiong Changhe's style not to eat the fat meat delivered to his door, even if the fat meat is more like a hard bone.
"Battal Commander, the Japanese attacking troops did not retreat, they came directly after them!" Suddenly, the guard platoon leader from behind rushed over.
He reported anxiously: "They all held torches and were chasing after us very fast!"
Li Wen immediately realized the danger: "We don't have torches. If we walk in the dark, we will definitely not be as fast as the Japanese soldiers who are chasing us with torches. It won't take long for us to be overtaken!"
"Then just kill them!" Xiong Changhe, who had been thinking about how to eat this piece of fat along the way, decided with a twinkle in his eye.
"If they don't pursue me, I can't do anything to them. Now that I've caught up with them, be prepared to be killed by us!"
"Captain Li, you are better at night fighting. I want to hand over the reconnaissance squad and guard platoon to you, and harass the Japanese who are following us along the way!"
"As long as you can kill one of their teams, leave the rest to me!"
"Da da da... bang bang..." Not long after, gunfire rang out around the Japanese pursuers. Also sounded were the screams of his subordinates.
"Baga is the sneak attack force of the Eighth Route Army. They want to use guerrilla warfare to consume us!" The Japanese squadron leader who led the team was very familiar with the Eighth Route Army and made a judgment on the spot.
The vice-captain immediately suggested: "Why don't we divide our troops to counterattack and kill them?"
"No!" The squadron leader refused directly.
"Just now, a small team was wiped out by the Eighth Route Army in just a few minutes. Now to divide the troops is to seek death!"
Then a look of realization appeared on his face: "I understand, the Eighth Route Army just wants to use this kind of sneak attack to force us to divide our troops!"
"This is their conspiracy, and we must not fall for it."
"Da da da...bang bang..." As soon as he finished speaking, the gunshot rang out again.
Under the protection of the guards, the squadron leader squatted on the ground in time to avoid the flying bullets. The machine gunner not far away reacted very quickly. He lowered his machine gun to the ground and fired at the place where the gunshot had just been fired.
However, it was as if no one had ever stayed in that place, and there was no movement at all.
"Stop shooting, the Eighth Route Army has already run away. This is their usual guerrilla warfare, hit and run, without giving us a chance to fight back, Eighth Route Army!" the squadron leader frowned and ordered after watching for a while.
The adjutant came over, frowned and reported: "Sir, we just lost three more people to death and injured two more!"
"Also, we are holding torches and are living targets in front of the Eighth Route Army! As long as they shoot, we will suffer casualties!"
The casualties in the two sneak attacks were ten, and the loss was unusually fast.
It is certain that the Eighth Route Army will continue to sneak attacks on themselves, and the frequency of sneak attacks on themselves will become higher and higher. Because they are very good at seizing fighter opportunities, they will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity in front of them.
Thinking of this, the squadron leader's face became heavy.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he made a decisive decision: "Retreat the troops and return directly to the military camp!"
"Our mission is to drive away the Eighth Route Army artillery that is shelling us. Now that the mission has been completed, there is no need to waste troops here!"
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo for of of of a smack in the face.
"Baga, they are provoking, I will kill them!" The squadron leader became angry and cursed loudly.
Without waiting for the deputy captain to speak, he directly started to give orders: "Continue to pursue and speed up. There are no torches on the eighth road, so they can't run fast. Catch them as fast as possible. As long as you engage them, this sneak attack will be ineffective!"
After chasing for twenty minutes, the anger on the squadron leader's face disappeared. The arrogance and excitement all disappeared, and then were replaced by fear.
Raise your hand and order the troops to stop pursuing!
