"A few days ago? That's even more wrong!" The teacher's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, dissatisfied with Li Hao's answer.
"If I remember correctly, a few days ago I issued a military order to all the troops: No one can leave the station and expose the target! How can you understand the Japanese if you can't even leave the station?"
"Please punish me, chief, because I violated discipline!" Li Hao quickly explained.
"I have not been at the station these days when the troops have been hiding. Instead, I have led the security squad outside to buy equipment and ammunition for the company... But please rest assured, chief, we have definitely not exposed our identity as the Eighth Route Army, nor have we leaked any relevant information.
Information about our Eighth Route Army’s hiding place!”
The teacher's face looked much better, and he showed an expression of interest!
"Making weapons and ammunition? Interesting. Tell us the truth. How many weapons and ammunition did you bring back when you went out and how did you do it?"
"Yes, Chief!" Li Hao didn't dare to hide anything, so he quickly told his story of the past few days.
A few minutes later, not only the division commander but also the political commissar also had a smile on his face.
Then he stared at the regiment leader and asked: "Captain Li, there are almost two hundred rifles and submachine guns, five light machine guns, tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition, and hundreds of grenades. These weapons and ammunition are not a small sum. You
Don't tell me you don't know anything!"
"Please punish me by the political commissar!" the regiment leader replied with his head lowered.
Not only did he know about this, he was also involved.
After the Eighth Company sent most of the ammunition to the battalion headquarters, the battalion commander knew that the regiment commander would know about this sooner or later, so it was better to report it now and send a light machine gun and 20,000 rounds of ammunition to the regiment commander.
Because the regiments were too scattered at that time, it was not a big deal, and the problem of lack of ammunition for the troops was solved. The regiment leader pretended to be confused and pretended that he knew nothing.
Before the political commissar could speak, the division commander had already waved his hand and replied: "If you don't punish me, what's the point of punishing me!"
"You have not exposed yourself, and you have obtained weapons and ammunition. Where can you find such a good thing? If this matter could not be made public, I would definitely give you a big award!"
After saying that, the teacher turned his attention to Li Hao again.
"Are you saying that all the information you learned was from the mouths of defeated soldiers?"
"Yes, Chief! They have fought against the Japanese and must be more familiar with them than we are!" Li Hao affirmed.
"Very good!" the teacher replied with satisfaction.
Then he ordered: "In this ambush battle, many of our attacking troops suffered great losses because they did not understand the Japanese army. If every commander knew our opponents in advance like you did, the casualties of the troops would definitely be reduced a lot."
"Now I will give you a chance to tell you all the information you have learned about the Japanese army. If you agree, I will promote you to platoon leader directly in front of your regiment commander!"
Li Hao felt happy.
Know yourself and the enemy and you will be victorious in every battle. This is a common military knowledge that every commander knows.
The Eighth Route Army had just marched to the anti-Japanese battlefield. Although the Japanese had just fought this battle, they still knew very little about the Japanese.
If you can make the entire Eighth Route Army understand the Japanese army better through your next report, you will not underestimate the enemy when you fight them again, and your troops will suffer less.
More importantly, if you agree, you can still get promoted.
Now that he is the squad leader, no matter how hard he fights against the Japanese, it will only be a small fight.
Only by being promoted and commanding more troops can you kill more Japanese and achieve more military exploits.
Thinking of this, Li Hao couldn't help but smile and reported quickly.
"Chief, before I report, let me say something to demoralize you: the little Japs we ambushed today are not the real elite troops of the Japanese army, they are at most the second-line troops of the Japanese army!"
"If the ambush was against elite Japanese field troops, the fighting would definitely continue and our casualties would be greatly increased!"
Everyone, including the division commander, frowned.
Especially the division commander, Li Hao's words made him feel very uncomfortable, but the fact was the fact. He had already captured and confirmed the identity of the enemy from the battlefield, and they were indeed second-line supply troops.
Seeing that Li Hao was hesitating again, he immediately ordered.
"Go on, don't be afraid, tell us everything you know about the Japanese army. It's best to let us know what kind of army the real elite Japanese army is!"
"Yes, Chief!"
Li Hao no longer concealed anything, and poured out all the information he had learned about the Japanese army from various historical documents in his previous life.
"As far as I know, a Japanese field infantry squad is equipped with three light machine guns and three grenade launchers...the machine gunners, gunners, and riflemen all cooperate very well with each other!"
"The marksmanship of riflemen and machine gunners has just been demonstrated on the battlefield. Leaders should feel it."
"The next thing I want to focus on is the Japanese grenade launcher, a small-caliber artillery that can be controlled by a single gunner. The shooting error within a hundred meters is no more than three meters."
"Our opponent in this ambush battle was the Japanese second-line troops. There were not many grenade launchers, so they did not pose much of a threat to our light and heavy machine guns!"
"If the opponent is a Japanese field force, their grenade launchers can destroy more than half of our light and heavy machine guns with only two or three salvos. This is definitely not an alarmist statement on my part."
"Many of the defeats of the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army on the front line were caused by grenade launchers."
"The Japanese army has good marksmanship and fierce firepower. Once we lose most of our light and heavy machine guns, we will not be able to fight this battle."
"However, according to my understanding, the frontline troops have also thought of some ways to deal with the Japanese grenade launchers: after the battle begins, concentrate some sharpshooters and heavy firepower to focus on them, kill their grenade launchers first, and then attack their other troops!
"
Seeing the division commander nodding thoughtfully, the political commissar next to him directly found a notebook and pen and sat beside him to record. Li Hao continued.
"There is another very important reason why the Japanese field troops are so powerful. They have a lot of heavy weapons!"
"In addition to close fire support weapons such as light machine guns and grenade launchers, Japanese infantry squadrons generally strengthen heavy machine guns and medium mortars when operating alone!"
"In addition to a heavy machine gun squadron with twelve heavy machine guns and an artillery squad with two infantry cannons, an infantry brigade usually also strengthens a mortar squadron with twelve medium-sized mortars, and even more often strengthens a mountain artillery squadron.
Six mountain cannons!"
"The heavy firepower of an enhanced brigade directly exceeds that of one of our main divisions..."
Li Hao stood in front of several leaders and spoke for more than an hour before stopping.
Although the words are very messy, I just say whatever comes to mind.
But from the expressions on several people's faces, it is certain that several leaders have listened.
After finishing speaking, the regiment headquarters fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone frowned, looking thoughtful.
After a long time, the atmosphere was interrupted by the division commander: "You said it very well, Comrade Li Hao. I am very satisfied with your report just now and it has benefited me a lot. I will fulfill my promise. From now on, you will be the platoon leader."
Yes, the appointment will be in your hands tomorrow at the latest, you can go back and recover well!"
"Thank you, chief!" Li Hao replied excitedly with a smile on his face.
