On the second day, except for seven or eight patrol posts, the secret camp was filled with the snoring of soldiers.
Li Hao only slept until noon when Tao Yongbo woke him up.
"Platoon leader, Liu Wenshan, a member of the underground party outside the mountain, is back again! He seems very anxious!"
"Comrade Liu Wenshan?" Li Hao asked, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"I remember that he went back as soon as we retreated to the secret camp. He came back just now. Could it be that something happened outside the mountain?" Li Hao's brows slowly frowned.
As soon as he got up from the bed, Liu Wenshan walked in breathing heavily.
"Platoon Commander Li, something happened!"
"As soon as I returned to the contact point, I received two pieces of information from my superiors!"
"The Japanese who were chasing us in the direction of Lijia'ao retreated. The Japanese army began to retreat when they found the cavalry squadron that we had eliminated!"
"This is good news!" Li Hao replied with a long sigh of relief.
Liu Wenshan smiled bitterly and replied: "Platoon Commander Li, you won't be happy after hearing the next piece of information!"
"In order to deal with us, Lingqiu County not only sent a cavalry squadron and a reinforced infantry squadron, they also sent two battalions of puppet troops!"
"Now these two battalions of more than 700 puppet troops have entered the Japanese puppet stronghold in Hongquan Village. They will enter the mountains to surround you tomorrow morning at the latest!"
Li Hao's brows wrinkled again, and his face became increasingly ugly.
The troops are too exhausted and suffer heavy casualties. If they continue to fight, they will definitely be under great pressure!
But after the shock, his face revealed a surprise from the bottom of his heart. Yes, it was a surprise.
Before those seriously injured soldiers recover and return to the army, they have too few soldiers, especially veterans with rich combat experience who can go directly to the battlefield.
Li Hao urgently needs such veterans to replenish his troops and improve their combat effectiveness.
The arrival of these puppet troops undoubtedly provides an excellent opportunity for them to replenish their veterans.
Those puppet soldiers were all former anti-Japanese soldiers. They were well trained and had fought in battles. Many of them were just trying to make ends meet and had no choice but to follow their superiors on this road. They did not really want to sacrifice their lives for the Japanese.
If they can be captured, even if one of the five captives is mobilized to join the Eighth Route Army, so many puppet troops entering the mountains can at least bring him more than a hundred supplementary soldiers, and they are veterans who can go to the battlefield with guns.
Thinking of this, Li Hao stared at Liu Wenshan with a hot face and asked: "Apart from the more than 700 puppet troops entering the mountain, are there any other Japanese who are following?"
"Yes!" Liu Wenshan quickly replied.
"Our intelligence personnel hidden within the Japanese and puppet troops reported that Japanese Major Noda ordered the artillery and heavy machine gun teams at the Hongquan Village stronghold to cooperate with the puppet troops to enter the mountains to encircle and suppress us!"
"There's something wrong here!" Li Hao's frown deepened.
"An elite reinforced squadron of the Japanese army took the initiative to retreat after learning that their cavalry squadron was killed by us. Logically speaking, this bunch of puppet troops should also retreat!"
"Although there are many puppet soldiers, in terms of combat effectiveness, they may not be as good as a reinforced squadron of the Japanese army!"
"The Japanese army retreated, but the puppet troops continued to enter the mountains to encircle and suppress us. Doesn't this mean that the puppet troops were allowed to enter the mountains to die? It doesn't make sense at all in logic?"
Liu Wenshan also frowned: "It's true!"
"If I were the Japanese Major Noda, I would definitely order the puppet troops to retreat together!"
Li Hao nodded and approved Liu Wenshan's analysis, but several people frowned and thought for almost five minutes without any explanation.
"Never mind that for now!" Li Hao shook his head and put the problem behind him.
"No matter what the enemy's purpose is? As long as they have the courage to enter the mountain, I have the courage to kill them."
"The soldiers will block it, the water will cover it, and the soil will cover it. Directly force out their conspiracy, and then we will see you again~"
"This is a forest, and we have plenty of ammunition. I believe there is no conspiracy that can stop us!"
Li Hao's confidence made Liu Wenshan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then took out a letter and continued.
"I have another order here, which is given to you and our underground party by your superiors!"
"After research and decision by superiors, you will officially leave the 686th Regiment from now on and stay in Lingqiu to fight against the Japanese and the Japanese."
"In order to facilitate unified command, all the remaining troops are organized into the Lingqiu Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force. Deputy Company Commander Zhou is appointed as the captain, Platoon Commander Li is appointed as the deputy captain, and I serve as the guerrilla instructor!"
"The superiors must not know the news that Deputy Company Commander Zhou has died. I have already reported yesterday's battle. I am sure that the superiors will appoint you, Platoon Commander Li, as the guerrilla leader."
"In order to better attack the Japanese and puppet troops entering the mountains, I suggest that Platoon Leader Li temporarily act as the guerrilla leader and form a guerrilla team first!"
Li Hao didn't change at all on the surface, but he was already happy in his heart.
Staying in Lingqiu and fighting the Japanese was a dream he had always wanted to realize. Now that it had become a reality, and it was given a direct order from his superiors, he couldn't be unhappy.
More importantly, the newly formed guerrilla group will be its own leader and will be centered on itself.
In this way, he can show off his talents in Lingqiu.
After reading the contents of the letter several times, Li Hao made a decisive decision.
"I agree with Comrade Liu Wenshan, let's form a guerrilla force now!"
"No, Comrade Liu Wenshan is already the instructor of our guerrillas from now on, and everyone will call him instructor Liu from now on!"
After saying that, Li Hao, who was in a good mood, began to give orders.
"I suggest that the newly formed guerrilla group be tentatively designated as a reinforced company. It will have three infantry platoons and one firepower platoon!"
"Three infantry platoons are directly expanded from three infantry squads. They have three infantry squads and one machine gun group!"
"The infantry platoon consists of nine riflemen and a squad leader, ten people in total!"
"The machine gun team consists of a crooked light machine gun, a machine gunner, and two machine gun assistant shooters."
"Including the platoon leader and deputy platoon leader, an infantry platoon has a total strength of thirty-six people!"
"The firepower platoon is temporarily under the jurisdiction of one grenade squad and two firepower squads, equipped with three grenade launchers and six crooked handles. Plus the squad leader, chief and deputy platoon leader, the full complement is thirty-two people!"
"In addition, the guerrillas are directly under a guard squad and a reconnaissance squad. Both squads are infantry squads with a full complement of thirteen people!"
"In addition, there is a cooking class, a health team, and a logistics team!"
"The entire guerrilla force is full of more than 200 people!"
Instructor Liu Wenshan entered the state very quickly and immediately replied: "But our guerrillas only have more than 50 cadres and soldiers who can still move, which is just one quarter!"
Hong Linfeng frowned and suggested: "We have enough equipment, but there is one thing I don't understand. The crooked weapons we currently have in stock can completely satisfy an infantry squad with one rifle. Why, captain, do you have to equip a platoon with one rifle?"
