Li Hao's eyes flashed quickly, and then he replied: "Hong Linfeng, don't be so pessimistic. We can still fight against the Japanese if we don't have enough troops. The battle just now is the best proof."
Then he asked: "How is it? Do you still want to continue fighting the Japanese?"
"Of course I do... Platoon leader, do you have another idea?" Hong Linfeng stared at Li Hao and asked.
Li Hao shook his head and replied: "It is very difficult and almost impossible to kill an infantry squad of Japanese soldiers at once. But it is still possible to kill some sporadic Japanese soldiers through small fights."
"We still have six people who can move. We will divide into two groups for a while, each equipped with a crooked handle and two rifles, and a few more grenades."
"The Japanese search troops are lurking on the road, with riflemen in front and machine gunners in the back!"
"After the Japanese search troops approached, the riflemen threw grenades at them, then retreated under the cover of the machine guns behind them, and finally retreated under the cover of the machine guns!"
"Since the Japanese army is afraid that the counterattack troops they sent will be ambushed by us, and they only use firepower to counterattack us, then we will use their tricks to let them see what real guerrilla warfare is!"
"Everyone rest first, we will take action after the Japanese army continues to search and advance!"
"The two groups are free to choose their attack targets and retreat after hitting them!"
"This time we will not interfere with the enemy's search, nor will we slow down the enemy's search speed. We have no other purpose. We will simply attack them and consume them. We can attack them however we want!"
The grenades equipped by the Japanese army are different from grenades in that they cannot explode directly after the safety is removed.
It can only explode after being struck hard. Otherwise, Li Hao would have used the captured grenades to set up a booby trap array for the Japanese, and there would be no need to go to such trouble to sneak attack them.
The Japanese troops were in groups of three, holding rifles with fixed bayonets, and were very vigilant in searching forward.
When you encounter bushes or thicker thatch piles, stab them with a bayonet to make sure no one is hiding inside.
Li Hao and a recruit were lurking behind two big trees less than 30 meters in front of them. Seeing the Japanese figures constantly flashing out from the gaps between the trees, the recruit's face showed a nervous expression involuntarily.
The right hand holding the grenade couldn't help but start to tremble.
Li Hao reminded in a low voice: "Don't be nervous, unplug the grenade safety first, follow my order to hit the tree trunk and throw it out!"
"Don't throw the grenade up. Try to throw it as close to the ground as possible so that the devils can't tell where we are hiding."
Twenty meters away, Li Hao could already clearly see the Japanese's ferocious face.
Because the distance was so close, there were fewer and fewer big trees and other obstacles blocking the enemy.
He raised his eyebrows, saw the opportunity and whispered: "Throw..."
The two men held grenades and struck the tree trunk at the same time. After seeing white smoke coming out of the grenade, they reached out their right hands from behind the trunk and threw the grenade at the Japanese with all their strength.
The sound of the grenade rolling down on the ground was very small, but the Japanese still noticed it. His face suddenly turned pale, and then he subconsciously threw himself on the ground and shouted.
"It's a grenade, everyone take cover...get down~"
"Boom boom..."
Two grenades exploded one after another. The Japanese were already lying on the ground, but two people still screamed.
"Da da da……"
Chen Bing, who was hiding more than 20 meters behind, fired. Most of the bullets were blocked by the tree trunks and shrubs in the middle. Only a few bullets flew towards the Japanese, but they still made them nervous for a while.
"The Eighth Route Army is hiding there, fight back immediately and kill him!" the squad leader drew his command knife and pointed in the direction where Chen Bing was hiding and shouted.
Because Li Hao and the recruits did not fire, the Japanese did not know their location.
Seeing that Chen Bing had attracted all their attention, he immediately ordered.
"Throw another grenade and then retreat..."
"Boom boom..."
The explosion sounded, causing the Japanese soldiers to howl like ghosts.
"There is also the Eighth Route Army there, shoot with machine guns and kill them!" A Japanese sergeant saw Li Hao retreating and shouted in fright. He did not expect that the enemy was hiding in front of his nose and attacking him without being discovered.
"Da da da……"
A Japanese soldier quickly adjusted his machine gun and opened fire on Li Hao's retreating figure.
However, the trees in the forest were too dense. Li Hao relied on the cover of the trees to dodge left and right, and disappeared after running for more than ten meters. All the bullets flying towards him were intercepted by tree trunks and shrubs.
Li Hao successfully retreated, and the Chen soldiers who were firing at them also stopped, picked up their machine guns and disappeared into the woods.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, looking at the increasingly dim light around him, the Japanese captain, whose face had been serious all afternoon, finally stopped: "Stop advancing, the troops will camp on the spot, we will continue the search tomorrow!"
"Every team must be on heightened alert tonight. After being attacked, they are prohibited from taking the initiative to attack. They can only use firepower to counterattack. At the same time, they ask for help from neighboring troops, counter-encircle the sneak attackers, and kill them with internal and external attacks!"
"Platoon leader, we are back!" At twelve o'clock in the evening, the three recruit classes that Li Hao had been waiting for anxiously finally arrived.
The tired look on his face was instantly wiped away, and he said happily: "Well done, you are here, I will be more confident for the next battle!"
"Hong Linfeng, please first inform everyone of our results during the day, and then everyone should take the time to rest!"
"Yuan Qingfeng, you can't rest. I will assign you two new soldiers, bring grenades, and perform the same mission as last night."
"I allow you to return all the more than 30 grenades captured during the day to the little devil. When the battle is over, I want to personally test how well you have practiced your grenade shooting skills?"
Yuan Qingfeng was very tired, but when he heard Li Hao give him more than thirty rounds of grenades for training, the tired look on his face was instantly wiped away, and he ordered with a serious face.
"Please rest assured, platoon commander, and promise to complete the mission!"
Tonight is destined to be a tragic night for the Japanese army.
Yuan Qingfeng's grenade shooting became more and more accurate.
Shooting at a distance of fifty meters can already ensure that the error is within three meters.
Grenades fell from the sky and it was dark. The Japanese had no idea where Yuan Qingfeng was hiding. They had no choice but to fight back and had to be beaten passively.
At the end of the night, all the Japanese soldiers had dark circles under their eyes, yawned, and were very tired.
The fourth platoon was just the opposite. The results reported by Hong Linfeng made every recruit feel confident about the upcoming battle.
After five or six hours of rest, everyone was in high spirits and waiting for orders with eager expressions, hoping that the battle would come soon.
Li Hao didn't get a good rest and spent the whole night thinking about how to give the little devil another hard blow.
Preliminary estimates indicate that the Japanese troops who entered the mountain have suffered more than 100 casualties.
If more than a hundred of them could be killed or wounded, the Japanese who entered the mountain would definitely not be able to withstand such heavy casualties and would have to retreat.
