All the soldiers carried an extra rifle that was captured by the Japanese and puppet soldiers and an armed belt with a bullet box hanging on it. Then, two people carried a seriously injured person and began to move into the forest.
Hong Linfeng caught up with Li Hao, who was carrying a crooked gun, and reported with excitement: "Platoon leader, I did some statistics. We seized a total of three crooked guns, 58 rifles, and grenades in Lijia'ao.
Two guns, a total of at least two thousand rounds of various ammunition, and hundreds of grenades and hand grenades. Especially the grenades we have used up, a total of 68."
"The enemy fought all day yesterday and consumed a lot of ammunition. Otherwise, we would have captured at least 5,000 rounds of various bullets!"
Li Hao couldn't help but smile on his face: "It's already very good. With these weapons and ammunition, we can at least form an infantry company in the future!"
"Especially those grenades, they are all reserved for setting up booby traps in the future. If you need to use them normally, just use the little devil's grenades!"
"The only thing I didn't expect was that the rescue would go so smoothly. From the start of the raid, the battle was over in less than twenty minutes!"
Hong Linfeng also had a smile on his face: "Not only did it go smoothly, but it was not in vain...not only saved dozens of wounded people, but also seized so much equipment and ammunition, killing two birds with one stone!"
Li Hao agreed very much and replied: "Not bad."
Then his face returned to seriousness: "Don't be too happy too early. Order the troops to speed up. Only when we successfully return to the camp will we be truly safe!"
The troops won the battle and everyone had smiles on their faces.
At this moment, Zhao Wen, the third squad leader from behind, suddenly rushed over with a nervous look on his face.
"Platoon leader, the Japanese in Lijia'ao did not retreat! They are chasing us again!"
"After completing the assembly on the other side of the village, they directly formed a battle formation and chased us!"
"More than a dozen Japs and all the puppet troops rushed to the front, with more than 40 people. The other little Japs walked at the end, with more than 50 people. They were very vigilant!"
The smile on Li Hao's face disappeared in an instant, and he shouted with a look of realization: "I understand, when we were at Lijia'ao just now, the little devils in the other three directions were not retreating, but gathering troops to avoid being defeated by us individually.
!”
"We have carried so many seriously injured people, and our marching speed will definitely not be as fast as theirs. It won't take long for us to catch up!"
Hong Linfeng was the first to react and called for battle without hesitation: "Platoon leader, I will lead the third squad to stay in the rear!"
Li Hao shook his head and refused without hesitation.
"There are more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops. There are only 12 people in the third squad and they are crooked. If you stay in the rear, you will be like a sheep in the tiger's mouth. You are looking for death. How can you fight? I don't agree!"
"What should we do?" Hong Linfeng was anxious.
"There are so many seriously wounded people. Once the Japs catch up, we have to take care of them and divide our troops to deal with the little Japs. We are definitely no match for them!"
Li Hao frowned and said nothing.
He was thinking of a foolproof strategy that could not only block the pursuit of the Japanese and puppet troops, but also protect the seriously wounded while minimizing the casualties of the troops.
The rescue mission has been completed. If another accident occurs on the retreat and the troops suffer heavy casualties, it will be a big loss!
"Concentrate your troops and eat them!" The silent Li Hao suddenly made a decision.
Hong Linfeng and Liu Wenshan were stunned and stunned for a long time before they could react.
"Platoon Captain Li, you have to think twice!" Liu Wenshan reminded with a worried look on his face!
"The total number of Japanese and puppet troops is more than 100, and we only have more than 60 new soldiers. Our strength is far lower than that of the enemy. We are no match at all!"
"Although I haven't fought in a war for a long time, I still know the most basic military common sense."
"The enemy is strong and we are weak. Even if we attack them with our best ambush tactics, we may not be able to end the battle in a short time!"
"And this is only 20 kilometers away from the county seat. This Japanese and puppet army must have sent people back to the county seat to report and request reinforcements before they decided to pursue us!"
"If we can't end the battle quickly and quickly, once the Japanese reinforcements come over, we will really have no way to go to the sky and no way to go to the ground. In the end, we will be surrounded by the Japanese and annihilated here!"
Li Hao replied with a serious face: "It was with this in mind that I decided to eat these Japanese and puppet troops."
"With them following us, the retreat speed cannot be increased at all, and the entire retreat route will be exposed to them. It is even possible to follow us all the way to the secret camp."
"If the Japanese and puppet troops in the county are equipped with cars and cavalry, they can catch up with us in a few hours under the guidance of this Japanese and puppet army!"
"We will also have to fight against the little devils when the time comes!"
"Not only do we have to deal with the reinforcements from the Japanese, but we also have to deal with the Japanese and puppet troops who have been following us. The situation is even worse than now."
Liu Wenshan's brows frowned quickly, the worry on his face turned into nervousness, and he quickly answered.
"There really is a cavalry unit in Lingqiu County. They just retreated from the front line. They stationed in Lingqiu three days ago and haven't left since. There are more than 80 Japanese in total!"
"If the Japs in Lingqiu know that we rescued the Eighth Route Army in Lijia'ao, they will definitely send cavalry troops to destroy us!"
"The Japs have more than 80 cavalry, and we only have more than 60 people. If they catch up, we will definitely be no match!"
Li Hao replied with a serious face: "So we must first kill the Japanese and puppet troops behind us."
"Kill them, and the Japanese cavalry who came from Lingqiu County will turn into a group of blind men and cages. We can quickly retreat into the mountains and return to the dense forest before they find us!"
"As long as they enter the mountains, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry troops will be greatly reduced. They may even be worse than ordinary infantry!"
Hong Linfeng also understood.
But the disparity between ourselves and the enemy was so great that I couldn't help but worry and ask.
"Platoon commander, how do we fight? We must kill them and do it quickly!"
Li Hao had already thought of a specific strategy in his mind.
He answered with confidence: "My current idea is to defeat them one by one!"
"Concentrate your forces to kill one group of enemies first, and then kill another group of enemies!"
"Of course, this depends on whether the distance between the two armies allows us to defeat each other."
Then he stared at Zhao Wen, the third squad leader, and asked: "How far away are the two groups of little Japs chasing soldiers!"
"Less than two hundred meters!" Zhao Wen replied.
Hong Linfeng frowned again: "The two troops are too close."
"The little devil must be on guard against this move of ours. At a distance of two hundred meters, a single assault can kill them, and it doesn't even take half a minute. No matter which unit is ambushed, the other unit can quickly reinforce it, front and back.
Kill the ambush troops in a pincer attack!"
"The little devils are so cunning. They calculated that no matter which unit we ambush, we would never be able to end the battle and retreat within half a minute!"
Li Hao fell into deep thought again. This time he only thought about it for a few seconds before making another decision that stunned his subordinates.
"If we can't defeat them individually, then we'll ambush them together with two troops!"
Hong Linfeng denied it on the spot: "Impossible! We have too few troops. We can't guarantee a quick victory by ambushing one of their troops, let alone two troops fighting together!"
"Maybe the ambush battle will turn into a tense battle. If you don't advance, you won't be able to kill your opponent, and you will lose your troops!"
Liu Wenshan said nothing, but the shock and worry on his face revealed his inner thoughts. He also believed that such a fight was impossible!
