"Platoon leader, in addition to the guard reconnaissance squad and fire squad, the other three infantry squads are now fully staffed." Deputy platoon leader Hong Linfeng reported to Li Hao.
"An infantry squad is basically one veteran leading three recruits, plus a machine gunner and squad leader. Each infantry squad has five veterans!"
"Because there is a large proportion of veterans, and because you, the platoon leader, gave us hundreds of rounds of ammunition for live-fire training, it can be said that our marksmanship has improved rapidly, and we have basically met the requirements you put forward at the beginning, the platoon leader!"
"Comrades have been training for so long. Many of them have gone crazy and want to go out and practice with the little devils!"
Li Hao could tell what Hong Linfeng was thinking at a glance, and without being polite at all, he asked directly: "I think your hands are itchy and you want to go out to fight!"
A flash of embarrassment flashed across Hong Linfeng's face, and he was too embarrassed to answer: "You guessed it right, platoon leader!"
"I want to go out to fight. The Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Hongquan Village are just as you have judged, platoon leader, and they have indeed built a stronghold at the mountain pass where Hongquan Village is located!"
"Because the stronghold has not been repaired and there is no place to store supplies, Lingqiu County sends them supplies every five days, with a total of three large trucks!"
"I did some reconnaissance when we were outside the mountains. The Japs had very few troops to escort these supplies. There was only one platoon of puppet soldiers and not a single Japs. They were simply delivering food to us. Just choose a better terrain and ambush them.
, we can definitely kill this transport team easily!"
Li Hao shook his head and refused: "Wait a little longer?"
"Three large trucks carry six thousand kilograms of food and supplies in the sky. It's such a loss to get just this in one sortie!"
"You have to know that this kind of opportunity may only come once to us. Once we use it, it will be difficult to come across it in the future!"
"So if we don't move out, that's it. If we do, we must catch a big fish, otherwise we will suffer a huge loss!"
Hong Linfeng replied with a look of realization: "I understand!"
"Platoon leader, what you mean is that once we attack now, the Japanese will definitely strengthen the escort force of the transport team. It will be very difficult for us to attack their transport team in the future. We may not even have a chance!"
"Not bad!" Li Hao affirmed.
"Not only is the little devil not stupid, but he is also very smart."
Hong Linfeng frowned slowly. He thought of another question and asked, "Then when can we meet the big fish?"
"Soon!" Li Hao replied confidently.
"After the Japanese stronghold in Hongquan Village is completed, Lingqiu County will definitely replenish the stronghold with a large amount of supplies and store food. This is our opportunity!"
Hong Linfeng left the shack where Li Hao was with a hint of disappointment.
I was called back less than half an hour after leaving.
When he walked into the shack, there was another person standing inside, Liu Wenshan, a member of the Lingqiu underground party organization who had met him once.
Seeing the anxious look on the other party's face and the solemn look on the platoon leader Li Hao's face, Hong Linfeng's heart skipped a beat and he realized a very bad premonition.
"Platoon leader, did something happen outside the mountain?"
"Something big happened!" Li Hao didn't hide it.
"Comrade Liu Wenshan knows best, let him tell you!"
Liu Wenshan quickly introduced: "Deputy Platoon Commander Hong, the situation is like this!"
"Two days ago, the Lingqiu Guard Battalion found the wounded who were left behind by the main force in Lijia'ao. The Japanese army responded quickly and directly surrounded Lijia'ao under the cover of darkness and launched an attack at dawn!"
"The Japanese army has two infantry squads and a company of puppet troops. We only have more than 60 people including the wounded, and there are even fewer combat personnel, only about 30 people!"
"The fighting is still going on, because the Japanese and puppet troops have blocked Lijia'ao too tightly. We don't know the situation inside, and we can't provide them with reinforcements. As soon as I received the news, I thought of you, and then went into the mountain to inform you.
, I hope you can send troops to reinforce Lijia'ao and rescue them!"
It is very difficult to rescue a group of wounded soldiers surrounded by heavy puppet troops for more than 200 days.
Even though the terrain there was hilly, Li Hao didn't have much chance of winning.
Hong Linfeng was the same, with a solemn look on his face, his mind was in chaos and he had no clue.
Subconsciously, I placed my hope on Li Hao, hoping that he could do something.
"Platoon commander, what should we do?"
"Save! We must save!" Li Hao gritted his teeth and replied.
"Not to mention that they are our comrades, they are all Eighth Route Army. Even if they are not the Eighth Route Army, as long as they are a team fighting Japanese invaders, we cannot ignore them until they die!"
Hong Linfeng still didn't have any idea in his mind, he frowned and asked: "How to save?"
"The Japanese and puppet troops have many soldiers, are well equipped, and are ready to work."
"If the plan is not careful and we rush to kill them, not only will we not be able to rescue them, but we ourselves will be trapped!"
Li Hao shook his head and replied: "I don't know how to save him?"
"I haven't been on the battlefield, and I don't even know the basic enemy situation and terrain. Even if I can come up with a solution, it's still fake!"
"Order the three infantry squads, the recruit squad, and the firepower squad to replenish ammunition and dry food immediately. We will set off in an hour and go straight to Lijia'ao!"
The person staying behind in Lijia'ao to protect the wounded was a deputy company commander. Before the unit was reorganized, he was a company commander in the Red Army and had particularly rich combat experience.
When the main force retreated, he had twenty new recruits, a squad of veterans, and more than twenty seriously injured people.
When the main force of the Japanese army came over, in order to concentrate superior forces to attack the Japanese and protect the wounded, the remaining troops from the first and second battalions were united.
Because of his status as deputy company commander, he became the commander-in-chief of this wounded team.
The team in hand has also expanded to more than 60 people, including two squads of veterans and 40 recruits, and the number of seriously injured people has also increased to nearly 50.
During the few days with Zhou Xuan, the main force of the Japanese army, they fought several encounters with the Japanese and suffered heavy losses.
The escort force of more than 60 people was beaten to a dozen people.
If the main force of the regiment had not taken action to force the main force of the Japanese army away, they would have been killed in two days at most.
In the next half month, by replenishing the seriously wounded who had recovered, the number of troops in the hands of the deputy company commander was restored to more than 30, and they were all veterans.
Just when he thought his mission was about to be completed, an accident happened. The security battalion of Lingqiu County discovered Lijia'ao.
In one night, Lijia'ao was surrounded by Japanese and puppet legions.
Seeing the sky slowly darkening and the Japanese and puppet troops who had been attacking all day also withdrawing from the village, the deputy company commander couldn't help but relax after having been tense all day.
After a day of fighting, the deputy company commander was already blackened by gunpowder smoke, and his body was covered with blood, both from the enemy and his own.
"Deputy company commander, the Japanese have retreated!" said a platoon leader next to him, wiping the black smoke from his face.
"How many more people do we have?" The deputy company commander's mood did not improve because of these words, and he asked with a frown.
The platoon leader's face instantly became embarrassed: "There are still 13 people, five of whom are seriously wounded who have not fully recovered!"
"Originally, they were not allowed to go to the battlefield. It was because we did not have enough troops. There were a total of twelve such soldiers. As long as they could shoot, they were temporarily added to the army. So far, seven have been killed and five are still alive!"
The deputy company commander's face became even more ugly: "That is to say, we have killed and injured more than thirty comrades in one day today, and they are all veterans!"
The platoon leader affirmed: "A total of 35 people were sacrificed. This is because the terrain of Lijia'ao is good and conducive to defense, otherwise we would not be able to hold on for even one day!"
"However, we killed at least 80 Japanese and puppet troops. Especially on the slope in front of the village, there were almost a lot of corpses lying on the ground, densely packed!"
"We alone can kill two Japanese and puppet troops, exchanging one for two. Comrades can rest in peace even if they die!"
