With Zhang Yuan's order, Li Hao was not polite at all.
Box Run took one of the seized boxes for himself, and gave Hong Linfeng a submachine gun, but did not ask for the light machine gun. However, the rifle bullets were replenished to 100 rounds for every death in battle, the grenades were replenished to three, and Box Run was equipped with six bullets.
Ten rounds, submachine gun with 100 rounds of bullets, light machine gun with 200 rounds of bullets...
Three months later, when Li Hao crossed the Yellow River and returned to the station, the guard squad was still a guard squad, but the number of troops had been increased to twelve.
The only thing that dissatisfied Li Hao was the equipment.
After the army added a large number of new soldiers, the equipment and ammunition brought back from the Eastern Expedition turned out to be insufficient.
A year later, these soldiers will go to the anti-Japanese battlefield in North China to fight the Japanese and become the main force of the anti-Japanese war.
It was impossible for Li Hao to watch them die with machetes and rifles without bullets, so he reluctantly handed over the extra rifles and ammunition from the guard squad to the battalion headquarters.
In this way, the twelve people in the guard squad were left with one light machine gun, two submachine guns, and six rifles.
Ammunition was even more pitiful. After excluding the 200 rounds of ammunition for the light machine guns, the riflemen were left with only 30 rounds of ammunition per person. This was the result of Li Hao's repeated insistence on not letting up.
The Red Army has no arsenal, and there is a big battle to be fought next, and it will directly fight the Japs. Although I am very anxious about the ammunition, I can only ninja.
It was a year later that Li Hao reappeared in Shanxi. At this time, he was still the guard squad leader, but he had transformed into the guard squad leader of the Eighth Company of the 686th Regiment of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army.
The Red Army reorganized the Eighth Route Army, and the entire Second Battalion of the 12th Regiment was reduced to one company, and all cadres were demoted.
The battalion commander Zhang Yuan was demoted to company commander, the instructor was demoted to instructor, the company commander became platoon leader, the platoon leader became squad leader, and the squad leader became a soldier. Only he, the guard squad leader, has not changed.
Li Hao followed the troops to cross the Yellow River eastward. He had been counting the days since entering Shanxi and was getting more and more anxious.
The victory at Pingxingguan, the first battle of the Eighth Route Army after its expedition, was world-famous. Li Hao had learned about this period of history when he was a soldier in his previous life, so he remembered it very clearly.
In terms of time, there are still six days left before the Pingxingguan battle.
Excluding the necessary time for marching and ambush, I only had less than four days left to prepare.
Looking at the deflated bullet belts hanging on the chests of the soldiers, Li Hao was more anxious than anyone else.
In this battle, the 686 regiment to which he belonged was the main force participating in the battle and the key offensive force of the Japanese army. Without sufficient ammunition, the troops could only be passively beaten in the face of the powerful Japanese army and suffered heavy casualties.
This was what Li Hao didn't want to see. After much deliberation, he decided to go find the company commander.
"Company Commander, the troops have been hiding here for two days, why are they still not moving? Along the way, I heard that the Jinsui Army was defeated and said that the Japanese army was about to kill them. If they don't move, we will be passive!"
Zhang Yuan also held back his anger.
Although the Red Army reorganized the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese, it still felt uncomfortable because many of them had been killed by white dogs themselves.
In addition, my battalion commander was demoted to company commander, which made me feel even more uncomfortable.
He replied angrily: "You ask me who should I ask? The orders of superiors must be carried out. Since you are told to hide here, you can hide and have a good rest!"
Li Hao hesitated and continued: "Company Commander, I have a feeling we are going to fight a big battle!"
Zhang Yuan is a soldier, and no matter how angry he is, it will not affect his interest in fighting.
He immediately stared at Li Hao and asked: "Well, what do you think?"
The Eastern Expedition allowed Zhang Yuan to get to know Li Hao again. Not only did he have high military command skills, but he also had a very sharp vision. When faced with problems, he could always come up with sudden ideas and put forward some aspects that he had never thought of.
He didn't believe that Li Hao would hit the right target. He must have seen something before he hurriedly said what he just said.
Li Hao immediately analyzed: "The Jinsui Army and the Central Army that were blocking the front were finished, and they retreated to the rear like a lost dog. If I were a kid, I would definitely seize this opportunity, make persistent efforts, follow closely behind the defeated troops, and fight all the way to the rear.
Taiyuan!”
"The Japanese army penetrated deep into the hinterland of Shanxi alone, and the follow-up troops will definitely not be able to keep up. And we are hidden here and cannot move. I guess the superiors want to give the arrogant Japanese army a hard blow here!"
"Ambush!" Zhang Yuan answered with a look of realization and shouted.
"It's really possible. There are mountainous areas everywhere around here, and there are too many places suitable for ambushes!" After saying this, Zhang Yuan frowned and fell into deep thought.
After a few minutes, he said: "Don't reveal your judgment just now. After all, it is just our guess!"
"But we can take this opportunity to conduct some targeted training! If our superiors really plan to conduct an ambush, we are also prepared!"
Li Hao immediately replied: "Don't worry, company commander, I understand!"
Following the change of subject, he continued: "But I have a worry!"
"To put it bluntly, there are no outsiders here!" Zhang Yuan asked with a frown.
This time, Li Hao hesitated for a few seconds before answering: "I heard from the Central Army and Shanxi Sui Army who retreated from the front line that the Japanese army is well-equipped and has sufficient ammunition. Each squad is equipped with a light machine gun and a small cannon, and the firepower is
Many times ours!"
"And their ordinary soldiers are also well-trained. Almost every one of them is a sharpshooter and can hit the mark with perfect accuracy from a distance of 100 meters!"
"As for our Eighth Company, although each of us has one gun, many of the guns have been made together, and the rifling has been smoothed!"
"The most worrying thing is ammunition. Except for the guard squad, the average number of bullets in the hands of other soldiers is less than 20 rounds!"
"Once we collide with the Japanese army and engage in a tense battle, the troops will be in danger!"
Zhang Yu's frown deepened, and it was obvious that Li Hao's analysis made him feel the same way.
After thinking for a few minutes without coming up with a solution, he suddenly thought of Li Hao standing in front of him.
He came over and talked to me for no reason. Based on my understanding of Li Hao, this matter must not be as simple as it seems on the surface.
Seeing Li Hao's calm face and not showing any worried expression, Zhang Yu slowly came to his senses.
"Haozi, when did you become so cunning? You took such a big detour and I was stunned by you. Just tell me your method, I know you already have a method!"
Li Hao first smiled awkwardly, and then replied: "You can't hide anything from the company commander!"
"Although we don't have ammunition, the defeated troops of the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Central Army outside the mountain do. Can we get it from them?"
"What to do?" Zhang Yu also became interested!
Li Hao shook his head and did not answer.
After a few seconds, he answered confidently: "I'll keep it a secret for now. If I say it, it won't work. But I will definitely not violate discipline, and I won't let them find us in the Eighth Route Army!"
"I understand!" Zhang Yu completely understood and shouted with a look of realization.
"You have said so much before, and you have only one purpose. You want to go out, and you want to go out and get ammunition!"
"Yes, company commander~" Li Hao stopped hiding it!
"The troops have too little ammunition, and there is not enough ammunition. We are definitely no match for the Japanese army on the battlefield."
Then his face became serious, and he promised again: "Don't worry, company commander, I won't go too far, and I will never let those defeated soldiers know that we are the Eighth Route Army and cause trouble for the Eighth Route Army!"
