"Hello, Platoon Leader Li, I am Liu Wenshan, member of the Lingqiu Underground Party Organization, former squad leader of the Third Regiment of the First Red Army!" Liu Wenshan first gave Li Hao a military salute and then introduced himself.
Li Hao quickly returned the greeting: "Hello, Comrade Liu Wenshan, I am Li Hao, the platoon leader of the fourth platoon of the eighth company of the 686th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. I was ordered to stay at Lingqiu to protect the wounded. Some time ago, the Japanese sent heavy troops to encircle and suppress us. We just fought a battle with them.
I haven’t had time to contact you, please understand!”
"It's okay!" Liu Wenshan replied readily.
Perhaps it was because he had served in the military that Li Hao had a very fond impression of him.
"I know the battle you are fighting, Platoon Commander Li!" Liu Wenshan said immediately.
"Although you have not contacted us, we have been looking for you since we received the order from our superiors. This is how the Japanese army encircled and suppressed you. You don't know that after the comrades outside the mountain heard that they had won the battle, they all
I want to see who Platoon Leader Li is. He was able to lead a group of wounded soldiers to defeat the Japs and defeat a main infantry brigade and escape from the mountains. He killed two to three hundred Japs one after another. It is simply a miracle!"
"Now that I see you, Platoon Commander Li, I am frightened again. You are so young. If I guessed correctly, you should be less than twenty years old!"
Li Hao did not hide anything: "I just turned eighteen!"
"Sure enough, heroes come from young, Platoon Commander Li, you really shocked me!" Liu Wenshan praised without hesitation.
Then he replied: "We have been thinking about how to report this battle to our superiors. Now that I see your true appearance, this report will be easy to write. Platoon Commander Li, I am sure that it won't take long for the superior's commendation order to be issued."
come over!"
Li Hao didn't say much on this topic and quickly brought the topic to the question he wanted to know most.
"Comrade Liu Wenshan, we have been hiding in the mountains during this period and have almost zero knowledge of the outside. Including why the main force of the Japs retreated in a hurry ten days ago, the origin of the Japs currently stationed in Hongquan Village, Lingqiu
How many Japs are there now, and what is the situation of the other two troops with the main regiment left in Lingqiu? I don’t even know!"
"Now that you are here, you will definitely be able to bring us a lot of news!"
Ten minutes later, a problem in Li Hao's mind was solved.
The reason why the main force of the Japanese army hurriedly evacuated was not because they were afraid of being attacked, but because the main force did not ignore everyone. After going south, they fought two battles in a row, forcing the Japanese to move the troops outside the mountain to the south to deal with the main force.
Reduce the pressure on the troops left behind in Lingqiu.
Then Liu Wenshan began to introduce the situation outside the mountain, especially the situation of the Japanese and puppet troops in Lingqiu.
Li Hao's expression slowly became serious.
It had only been more than half a month since I entered the mountain. The world outside the mountain had already become Japanese, and the situation was much worse than I imagined.
"That security battalion must be killed as soon as possible!" Li Hao suddenly interrupted.
"They are the noses and eyes of the Japanese in Lingqiu. Without them, the Japanese would never have taken control of this place so quickly! There would not have been so many anti-Japanese soldiers who were encircled and killed by the Japanese!"
Liu Wenshan once again looked at Li Hao with admiration.
This conclusion was reached after a long discussion among several members of the Lingqiu underground party who had experience in military struggles.
The Li Hao in front of him made such a judgment just after listening to his introduction to the situation outside the mountain, which shows that his vision is not generally vicious.
After giving Li Hao a meaningful look, Liu Wenshan continued to introduce: "Our Lingqiu underground party also has this idea!"
"But we don't have the strength to fight against this security battalion in Lingqiu. What we can do now is to collect as much information about this security battalion as possible. When the main force returns in the future, we can use this information to cooperate with them to take down this security battalion in one fell swoop.
camp!"
The total strength of the garrison battalion is more than 300, and it is well-equipped and trained by Japanese instructors.
This kind of troops is indeed not something that ordinary troops can deal with.
Moreover, in addition to the guard camp, there are more than a thousand Japanese and more than a thousand puppet troops in Lingqiu. It is impossible for them to watch the guard camp being killed.
With the addition of them, the situation becomes even more complicated when trying to kill this security battalion.
Li Hao shook his head and put this problem behind him. The four platoons now had problems with self-protection, and they were far away from killing the security camp. It was not his turn to think about this problem.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he stared at Liu Wenshan and continued to ask.
"I also want to know where the main force is now and how far it is from here!"
From the bottom of his heart, Li Hao wanted to stay here to fight the Japanese and did not want to join the main force.
Only in this way can he show his talents, instead of following the main force and following orders to fight and being timid.
But if the main force is nearby, there is definitely no reason not to join them.
Therefore, Li Hao stared at Liu Wenshan as soon as he spoke.
But Liu Wenshan didn’t see it that way.
As members of the underground party, in order to change the anti-Japanese situation in Lingqiu, they all hope that Li Hao will stay in Lingqiu.
For this reason, Secretary Wang, who is responsible for the underground party, specifically told himself to find ways to keep Li Hao here, and then secretly expand his strength to prepare for the troops to establish a base in Lingqiu in the future.
Seeing Li Hao's eyes staring closely at him, Liu Wenshan thought that Li Hao just wanted to leave. Leaving Lingqiu, a flash of disappointment quickly flashed in his eyes.
If he knew that Li Hao's true intention was to stay here, Liu Wenshan would definitely jump up with joy.
Of course, Li Hao would never have thought of this idea.
After thinking about the words in my mind, I answered.
"The main force has moved south more than a hundred kilometers away from here. The middle is now occupied by the Japanese. It will be very difficult for you to catch up with them!"
"Besides, before the main force retreated southward, we also told our underground party that if you are unable to catch up with the main force in the future, you can directly stay in Lingqiu to fight guerrillas and form a guerrilla force with the cooperation of our underground party!"
"Before coming here, our underground party also discussed whether you should go or stay. The final conclusion is that we recommend that you stay for the time being. Moreover, the increasingly bad situation in Lingqiu also requires you to stay!"
"First hide in the mountains to expand our strength, and then go out to fight against the Japanese when the time is right. Let the people in Lingqiu know that our Eighth Route Army is still here to fight against the Japanese with them, so that they can regain their confidence and morale in fighting against the Japanese!"
"As for the superiors, we will find a way to communicate!"
"Of course, if Platoon Leader Li insists on leaving, we won't stop him. After all, you are part of the main force!"
"By keeping you here, our Lingqiu underground party really has no choice in the face of the increasingly bad situation in Lingqiu!"
Li Hao was already happy, but in order to prevent the other party from seeing any clues, he still pretended to be embarrassed and answered.
"Okay, we'll stay for now!"
"But in the end, the decision to leave or stay must be given by my superiors. I am a soldier and must obey orders!"
