Jiang Chao, the new commander of the first battalion next to him, was also Xiong Changhe's original commander of the first company, and he couldn't wait for a long time.
The newly formed first battalion has a total strength of 600 men, but so far it is only equipped with 200 rifles, six light machine guns, one heavy machine gun, and not a single mortar.
He was more anxious than anyone else to fight against the Japs and solve some of the equipment the troops lacked.
Therefore, before Xiong Changhe could finish his words, he couldn't help but ask: "Batalion Commander, we have arranged a lot of troops by the river, but we haven't decided how to fight yet... Ten cars, plus the escorting Japanese infantry and cavalry,
The total strength is less than 300 people. If we fight well, we can wipe them all out in one surprise attack!"
The training of the war has made Xiong Changhe lose his previous impulse. He stared at Jiang Chao and cursed: "Have you become a battalion commander? Now you have the courage to fight against little devils..."
"Are you a fool to think you are a Japanese? Send two to three hundred people here to die!"
"Isn't it possible that the Japanese have some conspiracy?" Jiang Chao asked with a frown on his face and a look of disbelief on his face.
Xiong Changhe did not hide anything and answered directly: "The little devil is not willing to be chased and beaten by our guerrillas during the day. Now he wants to regain his position and has prepared a trap for us to take revenge on us!"
"How did you know, battalion commander!" Jiang Chao asked with a frown on his face and a puzzled look on his face.
The instructor and several other company commanders all looked at Xiong Changhe!
"During the day, with air support, the Japs went to a nearby village to arrest people, and an infantry brigade was dispatched. Now that the planes are gone and it's getting dark, for such an important matter as getting water, the Japs only dispatched an infantry squadron and a cavalry squadron.
Don't you think it's strange?" Xiong Changhe analyzed with a frown.
"Also, look at the Jaap camp~ Their cavalry and chariot troops were originally on the side of the camp close to us, which is the east side where they are most likely to be attacked by us. However, just now, at least ten chariots and tanks
The tanks and three to four hundred cavalry went to the southeast corner of the military camp, which is where the water troops left~"
"If I'm not wrong, the tanks and cavalry that the Japanese soldiers transferred are to reinforce their water-seeking troops at any time. If we attack rashly, these Japanese soldiers will be able to reach the battlefield within five to ten minutes with their powerful maneuverability.
, to counter-encircle our sneak attack troops..."
"Jiang Chao, do you think it's possible for us to raid the Japanese water-seeking troops within five minutes, kill them, and then escape unscathed?"
"Impossible~" Jiang Chao took a breath and replied.
"In five minutes, the troops are just enough to deploy, and there is no time to even attack. If you want to kill them and escape unscathed, it will take at least half an hour..."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Chao showed a heartbroken expression of unwillingness.
"Damn it, you can't eat the fat meat that comes to your mouth. It's too greedy..."
"Who told you that you can't eat it! Tonight, I have to swallow these nearly three hundred Japanese in one bite!" Xiong Changhe suddenly said, and when he spoke, his words were shocking, making Jiang Chao's face that had just dimmed ignited again.
hope.
Then he asked with expectation: "But, battalion commander... didn't you just say that this was a conspiracy of the little devil..."
Xiong Changhe replied confidently: "Since we have seen through the little devil's conspiracy, we will break their conspiracy and eat the bait they put out!"
"We are not as strong as the Japs and cannot move their main force. However, we can still eat the bait they put out!"
"Instructor, among the landmines distributed to us by the regiment headquarters, apart from those distributed to local troops and guerrillas, how many are left..."
"Fifty..." Liang Cheng, the instructor who knew all the treasures of the battalion's family, answered without thinking about it.
Xiong Changhe nodded and continued to ask: "What about the explosives! The high explosives seized from the Japanese and the black powder produced by ourselves are all included!"
"There are not many high explosives, only a hundred kilograms. I made ten explosive packets. At critical moments, I used... a lot of black gunpowder, nearly five hundred kilograms. Because of the limited power, I made ten explosive packets weighing twenty kilograms!
"
Xiong Changhe directly turned his attention to the engineer platoon leader: "Platoon leader Yang, can a landmine plus a ten-pound high explosive pack kill the Japanese tank?"
Platoon Leader Yang hesitated and replied: "It's impossible to completely destroy them, but I can do it by making them lie down and unable to move!"
Then he ordered: "Jiang Chao, take out the two companies with the least equipment and weapons from the new battalion and give them to Battalion Commander Yang. Cooperate with Battalion Commander Yang to lay mines on the roads where the Japanese reinforcements are most likely to go, especially the Japanese tanks and combatants."
As long as the vehicles and vehicles can pass, mines with gunpowder are buried in all places. If the mines and gunpowder are not enough, the ground will be destroyed. In a word, the tanks and chariots equipped by the little devils will not be able to reach the river within half an hour!"
"Is two companies plus an engineer platoon, more than 300 people, enough? If not, I will give you another company. Two companies will do~"
"Enough!" Platoon Leader Yang replied immediately.
"We can take action after dark in the wasteland near the highway. As long as it is far enough away from the Japs station, the Japs will not notice it. As for the road and the wasteland near the road, mines should be laid directly before the battle begins. With so many infantrymen cooperating, up to ten
It can be done in minutes!”
After glancing at the watch on his wrist, Xiong Changhe analyzed: "There are more than 23,000 Japs, as well as thousands of war horses and rogue horses. The water they drink alone is enough for ten cars to transport them back and forth several times, and more
Needless to say, cooking at night requires a lot of water. Therefore, in the first half of the night today, the Japanese troops transporting water will definitely continue."
"At nine o'clock in the evening, after the Japanese transport team started a new round of water transportation, you began to lay mines on the highway and nearby wasteland as soon as you left the station. As for other places, Platoon Leader Yang, you make your own arrangements. I will lead the main force.
Fight the first round of water transport troops dispatched by the Japanese after nine o'clock!"
Platoon Leader Yang immediately replied: "Commander, please rest assured that the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles will not reach the river within half an hour!"
"What about the Japanese cavalry and the possible infantry?" instructor Liang Cheng asked.
Xiong Changhe immediately replied: "The heavy machine gun company, the remaining troops in the newly formed camp, as well as the infantry artillery company, and a platoon of the mortar company will stop them behind the minefield laid out by the engineer platoon. Jiang Chao, you will command the entire blocking battle."
…”
"It will take half an hour for the main force to resolve the battle. It will take time for the Japs to march five kilometers. In addition, the minefields of the engineering platoon will delay them a lot of time. Jiang Chao, you can retreat in twenty minutes despite the strong resistance..."
"There must be no problem. In twenty minutes, the Japs won't have time to set up their mountain artillery and heavy artillery, and they will use mortars to attack us!" Jiang Chao answered with excitement on his face, arrogantly and confidently.
Liang Cheng next to him reminded: "Don't underestimate the enemy too much. Even if the Japanese only use mortars, there may be more than a dozen or even dozens of mortars fired at the same time. In addition, they have an absolute advantage in strength, so they must be cautious."
...If this blockade fails and the troops suffer too many casualties, I will suggest to the regiment headquarters that we take over the position of commander of your new first battalion!"
Jiang Chao had to put away his smile and replied with a serious face: "Please rest assured, instructor, and promise to complete the task!"
Seeing that the instructor's reminders and threats were effective, Xiong Changhe nodded and continued to order: "Guard company, reconnaissance platoon... set off now, and after dark, you will sneak attack on the Japanese camp~ I don't ask you to kill many Japanese, but you must
We can’t let the little devils stationed there settle down..."
"The others will follow me and the instructor to find a way to kill the little Japanese water transport troops~"
