Hearing Li Hao's report at the Eighth Company Headquarters made Zhang Yuan's blood boil with excitement, and he wished he could go out and do it himself.
Seeing Li Hao shouting with excitement.
"Haozi, you are really here. First you pretended to be a bandit, then you pretended to be a Jinsui Army, and finally you pretended to be the Central Army. Those robbed soldiers who were beaten to death would not have thought that your true identity was the Eighth Route Army!"
"Well done! With the equipment and ammunition you got back, not only does our Eighth Company have no shortage of ammunition, but the ammunition problem of the entire Third Battalion has been solved!"
"By the way, your guard squad will give priority to replenishing these equipment and ammunition! When the army was expanded, in order to ensure that the soldiers had guns available, the guard squad could come up with a lot of good things. You can bring back whatever you like.
What to take?"
"I agree!" the instructor said.
Everyone has selfish motives, and company commanders and instructors are no exception.
There is no way to raise the equipment and ammunition level of the entire Eighth Company too high to make other companies jealous, but we can equip the guard squad with more ammunition. At any critical moment, the extra equipment and ammunition from the guard squad can be distributed to other units.
!
Li Hao answered with a knowing smile.
"Company commander, instructor, I already added them when we were outside the mountain."
"Ordinary soldiers each carry a rifle, a hundred rounds of ammunition, and three grenades."
"For Li Jie and Hong Linfeng, I reinforced each of them with a rifle, equipped with fifty rounds of rifle bullets and a hundred rounds of submachine gun bullets."
"Machine gunner Chen Bing, I reinforced him with a box cannon for self-defense!"
"In addition, each rifleman carries fifty rounds of ammunition for the machine gun to reduce the load on the machine gunner!"
"hiss……"
Zhang Yuan and the instructor both took a deep breath, frightened by Li Hao's generosity.
According to the current ammunition reserves of the guard squad, many main units of the Eighth Route Army do not have as much ammunition as they do.
Shocked, he didn't say anything more and simply expressed his agreement with silence.
Li Haoxin understood and looked at Zhang Yu and continued to ask.
"Company commander, instructor, I plan to take the security squad to go out for a day tomorrow and come back before midnight tomorrow night. Please approve!"
"Okay!" Zhang Yu answered without thinking.
"But you must remember to come back before midnight tomorrow night!"
"The regiment leader has already gone to the division headquarters and will be back tomorrow night. Whether we have any big battles to fight next, we will find out tomorrow night!"
As soon as Li Hao rushed out of the company headquarters with a smile on his face, the instructor's brows furrowed.
"Lao Zhang, didn't you just say you wouldn't let Li Hao go out? Why are you going back on your word now?"
"I'm not worried now!" Zhang Yu answered directly!
"Every time Haozi takes action, I am surprised. I feel like I get to know him again, and this time is no exception!"
"It can be judged from his report just now that the entire plan is very thorough and there will be almost no accidents! It not only guarantees safety, does not violate discipline, but also can get us a large amount of equipment and ammunition, why not? If it is not time
Too little, I hope Li Hao goes out more often!"
On the Pingxingguan battlefield, the troops who came over in the rain all night were repairing the fortifications left by the Shanxi-Sui Army.
As in history, the 686th Regiment was responsible for the frontline battle at Laoye Temple, and Li Hao's Eighth Company happened to be ambushing next to Laoye Temple.
After half a night of busy work, all the troops hid in the trenches and covered their heads with branches to prevent the Japanese from evading Japanese aerial reconnaissance.
Li Hao also squatted in the trench.
The troops were about to fight the Japanese army. The other soldiers looked forward to it, eager for the battle to come soon so that the arrogant Japanese army could have a taste of the power of the Eighth Route Army.
Li Hao, however, was not happy at all, and his face was solemn.
He knows this history very well.
Because this was the first time the Eighth Route Army fought against the Japanese army, the participating troops underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army from top to bottom. Although they won the battle in the end, the 115th Division also paid a very heavy price.
Take the Laoye Temple not far away as an example. Although it was just a very inconspicuous high ground on the ambush battlefield, the troops did not take it seriously.
In everyone's opinion, after the ambush battle began, the troops first launched a sudden fire attack on the Japanese troops, then threw grenades to catch them off guard, and finally rushed out of their positions to fight with the Japanese troops with bayonets and annihilate them all.
By then, the Japanese army would have no chance to launch a counterattack, let alone occupy the Laoye Temple Highlands and use the highlands as a basis to attack the Eighth Route Army.
In a word, if the troops don't understand the Japanese army, but they still use the same tactics and brains as they used to fight the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army, they will definitely suffer losses.
that's the truth.
Faced with the sudden fire attack from the Eighth Route Army's ambush troops, the ambushed Japanese troops not only did not panic, but quickly organized their troops to counterattack with firepower. The raid suddenly became a stalemate. At the same time, they also targeted the enemy that was not defended by the Eighth Route Army.
Laoye Temple, and sent troops to seize Laoye Temple.
On the high ground of a small Laoye Temple, the enemy and we fought hard for several hours.
Although the Eighth Route Army won in the end, it suffered one or two hundred casualties, which could be described as heavy losses.
Now that I am here, I definitely have no ability to change the overall situation. The only thing that can be changed is some local battles.
Li Hao was thinking about whether he could do something about Laoye Temple to reduce the casualties of the Eighth Route Army in Laoye Temple.
"Company commander, I think troops should be sent to guard that high ground. If it is occupied by the Japanese army, the consequences will be disastrous!" Li Hao found the company commander and reminded him with a frown.
"Don't worry, we will definitely not give the Japanese army this chance!" Zhang Yu replied confidently.
At this moment, he does have confidence and arrogance.
There were more than 200 people in the company, and originally there were only four light machine guns. After Li Hao worked outside for a few days, the number of machine guns was directly increased to six.
Those old rifles with smooth rifling were all replaced with good guns that were 70% to 80% new.
What makes Zhang Yu most satisfied is the ammunition of the army. Each man has two hand grenades, sixty rounds of rifle bullets per person, and an average of three hundred rounds of machine gun bullets.
With this kind of firepower and ammunition configuration, in the past, he would not be afraid even if he ran into a battalion of the Central Army, not to mention that in the following ambush battle, he would only have to face a Japanese infantry squadron of more than 100 people.
In one sentence, he blocked everything he wanted to say next.
After hesitating for a long time, Li Hao came up with a solution, which was to do it himself.
As long as the Japanese army successfully captures the Laoye Temple Highlands and holds out until reinforcements arrive, the Eighth Route Army's casualties around Laoye Temple will be greatly reduced.
He found the company commander again and said bravely: "Company commander, the guard squad is a reserve team anyway and will hardly participate in battles. How about I take the guard squad there~"
"I have a premonition that something will happen there!"
"Then go!" Zhang Yuan didn't hesitate this time!
