At the Japanese military station in Hongquan Village, the regimental commander was furious at the headquarters!
"Are you all stupid pigs? It's been so long and we still haven't found the Eighth Route Army that attacked us that night! Could it be that they can burrow into the ground!"
The captain's face was flushed with grievance, and he lowered his head and replied: "Captain, calm down!"
"We found a lot of Chinese people and learned from their mouths that the main force of the Eighth Route Army we were going to attack had withdrawn the day before our arrival, and its destination was unknown. The Eighth Route Army that attacked us that night was not their main force, and they just stayed here for protection.
A small force of seriously wounded men!”
"What? A small force, how is this possible? A small force actually caused so many casualties to us. We are almost on the verge of a large-scale battle." the captain asked with an expression of disbelief.
Then a look of ferocity flashed across his face, and he cursed loudly.
"I don't care what method you use, you must find them and kill them!"
"With such a small number of troops, they have caused so many casualties to the Imperial Army. Once the seriously injured men in their hands recover, they will definitely pose a greater threat to the Imperial Army. We must nip them in the bud!"
The captain quickly replied: "I have sent troops to investigate. This small Eighth Route Army unit took the wounded into the mountains and hid in the mountains in front of us!"
"We only have two ways to kill them!"
"Either go directly to the mountains to encircle and suppress them, search for them like a net, find them and kill them!"
"Either block the mountain, wait until they run out of food, come out on your own, and we'll wait and annihilate them all!"
"Go into the mountains!" The captain hesitated before making a decision.
"We don't have that much time to waste here. We must retreat and head to the front line in five days at most!"
"It takes too long to wait and see, and we don't know how much food the Eighth Route Army has brought into the mountains. It may not last for five days, it may last for half a month, or even longer. We can't afford to bet!"
"Hi!" the captain replied quickly.
"Bizhi immediately arranges troops to prepare to enter the mountain!"
The commander reminded: "All troops entering the mountains must search in at least small groups. The distance between small groups cannot exceed 500 meters. If a search unit is attacked, the search units on both wings can rush over at any time for reinforcements!"
"The Eighth Route Army is too cunning, especially the guerrilla warfare they are good at. We must pay attention to it!"
The captain replied with a serious face: "Please rest assured, captain, I have already suffered a loss once for the same thing, and I will never suffer a second time!"
Li Hao was in a secret camp deep in the woods. As soon as everyone finished lunch, Hong Linfeng rushed over, breathing heavily.
"Platoon leader, the little Japs have entered the mountains. Three squadrons came in, without heavy machine guns or mortars. They formed squadrons, separated by 500 meters from each other, and searched for us in the forest like a net!"
"Zhou Xuan, replenish thirty rounds of bullets for each soldier and prepare for battle!" Li Hao ordered with a frown.
"I originally thought that the Japanese would retreat after learning that our troops were retreating, but we were targeted. We must have beaten them too hard that night, and the Japanese wanted to retaliate against us."
Soon several squad leaders gathered around.
In particular, the three squad leaders who did not participate in the last night attack all looked eager to try, staring at Li Hao and waiting for orders.
"The Japanese are coming with great force. We are definitely no match for those of us." Li Hao glanced at his subordinates and analyzed.
"And we have to protect these seriously injured people, so we can only count!"
"We are on the east side of the mountain. What I mean is to take the initiative and lure the Japanese to the south of the mountain. Then use guerrilla warfare to sneak attack on them, consume their remaining troops, and force them out of the forest!"
"The third squad will stay behind to protect the wounded. The others will follow me to fight the Japanese. The fire squad will bring two crooked handles and a grenade to coordinate the operation!"
More than fifty Japanese soldiers formed a group of three, rifles in hand, and lined up in a straight line more than ten meters apart. They were very alert and searched deeper into the forest.
When you encounter dense bushes and haystacks, stab them with a bayonet.
Machine gunners carrying crooked handles and gunners carrying grenades followed closely behind, ready to set up guns and cannons to provide fire cover for the search troops.
"Sir, it's getting dark. The warriors have searched the mountains for nearly twenty miles today. Do you want to stop and camp on the spot to rest?" A squadron leader walking next to the captain asked tiredly.
Mountain roads are different from highways. Walking twenty miles down the road is more tiring than walking forty miles on the road. Moreover, everyone has to search all the way, and their nerves are highly tense. They are afraid of being attacked and losing their lives, which makes it even more tiring.
For the captain, the mountain road was too difficult to walk, and he couldn't ride a horse. He was very tired and out of breath all the way, so he agreed without hesitation.
"Can!"
"Order all search forces to stop and set up camp on the spot!"
"The Eighth Route Army is best at night attacks. We are now camping in the woods. I have a hunch that they will definitely not miss this opportunity to sneak attack us tonight!"
"So all infantry squads must be more vigilant tonight and do not attack rashly when encountering a sneak attack."
"Two neighboring infantry teams attacked directly, detoured behind the Eighth Route Army's surprise attack troops, and counterattacked to surround them!"
"According to the investigation, this Eighth Route Army has only a small number of troops, only more than 20 people. We dispatch three infantry squads at a time. As long as they dare to come, we will definitely kill them through internal and external attacks."
After traveling all afternoon, Li Hao finally reached the vicinity of the little devil before dark.
"Platoon leader, the Japs have already started setting up camp. They are setting up camps in squads. Several bonfires have been lit in each camp area. The Japs are surrounding the bonfires, and each squad has a combat unit standing guard next to them!" Xiong
Chang He breathed heavily and reported.
"The Japs are afraid of us. The security is so tight. As long as we kill them, we will definitely be discovered!" Li Hao's face suddenly became serious.
Hong Linfeng then added: "There is another problem. The distance between their squads is too close. If one squad is attacked, the two squads next to it can kill it immediately. We don't have that much time to make a sneak attack.
, maybe there won’t even be time to retreat!”
Li Hao frowned as he spoke, picked up a branch and gestured something on the ground.
Soon an idea came into my confused mind.
"There is a way!"
"Since it is difficult for the Japanese troops to make sneak attacks on their base, we will do the opposite today and focus on attacking their reinforcements. Hit and run!"
"There is a distance of 500 meters between the Japanese squadrons. The outside of the mountain is not far away from 500 meters, and they can pass by in one attack. But here is a dense forest with high mountains. At a distance of 500 meters, we can make more arrangements and deal with them well!"
"
"My order: Zhou Xuan, take the first squad and the fire squad with a light machine gun to conduct a long-distance sneak attack on the Japanese camp directly in front of us."
"If there are Japanese soldiers coming out, you should dig them deep into the forest and use guerrilla warfare to greet them!"
"If no Japanese come out, you can hold them from a distance and beat them."
"When fighting, be sure to send two soldiers to keep an eye on your left wing. If there are Japanese reinforcements on the left wing, retreat immediately. Don't let them stick to you!"
"Others, follow me to ambush the Japanese reinforcements that may come over on the right!"
"Tonight we'll start with the devils in this team!"
