Chapter 201 The puppet army is also playing a conspiracy
"Come on, the Eighth Route Army is attacking!"
A communications soldier rushed into the regiment headquarters and shouted to the chief of staff, looking panicked.
"I know, the sound of gunfire outside has told me!" the chief of staff did not realize the seriousness of the problem and answered calmly.
The communications soldier became anxious and chased after the chief of staff to report.
"This is not a tentative attack, but a real attack. A platoon on guard duty in the second company was attacked and the entire army was wiped out. Now their company headquarters is also under attack, and the troops have suffered heavy losses. We are requesting reinforcements!"
"What?" The chief of staff couldn't sit still and got up from the camp bed.
"Tell me again what happened before? How could the Eighth Route Army in the woods attack us with such little strength? Are they crazy?"
The communications soldier quickly reported: "The Second Company reported that they were attacked by dozens of Eighth Route Army troops!"
"Although the attacking Eighth Route Army is not many, it has very powerful firepower. It is equipped with at least five machine guns. The entire second company is equipped with only one machine gun, and one machine gun is strengthened, which is only two. In terms of firepower, it is no match for the Eighth Route Army!"
The chief of staff finally reacted and began to issue orders in a hurry: "Then why are you still stunned? Send troops to reinforce the Second Company immediately!"
"The Second Battalion and the Fourth Company are closest to them, so reinforcements will be sent over immediately."
"The 2nd Battalion and 5th Company are also going over, and they will go back behind the Eighth Route Army!"
"A few dozen people dare to attack our base. This group of Eighth Route Army troops is too arrogant. We must kill them to scare the monkeys, otherwise we will not be able to hold our head high in front of the Japanese!"
"You go and give the order, and I will report to the regiment. They are equipped with so many machine guns, and they will definitely need more troops to surround and annihilate them!"
On the battlefield, the puppet soldiers lying on the ground discussed it and shouted anxiously.
"I surrender, don't shoot!"
"I surrender too. Don't kill us. We don't want to sacrifice our lives for the devils. They are all forced by the devils!"
Facing the dozen or so Eighth Route Army soldiers who rushed towards them with murderous intent, the nearly twice as many puppet soldiers had no idea of resistance and knelt on the ground as soon as their guns were thrown away.
Li Hao's face was still serious as before, and he did not smile because of the victory in front of him.
This is still the territory of the Japanese and puppet troops. As long as you are still standing here, danger may come to you at any time.
He frowned and ordered: "All machine gunners are on alert, keep an eye on the Japanese and puppet troops' stations, and kill all the Japanese and puppet troops who want to come over until I give the order to retreat!"
"Others clean the battlefield, take the prisoners and retreat!"
"Remove the bolt of the rifle and let them carry it on their own. The Japanese and puppet troops will react soon. We must withdraw immediately!"
When the Third Company received the reinforcement order and rushed over, Li Hao had already withdrawn from the battlefield with the prisoners.
When the news reached the regiment headquarters, Zhou Yunian and the chief of staff were both stunned and took a long time to react.
"How is it possible? In less than ten minutes, two of our platoons were killed by the Eighth Route Army, and they were allowed to retreat successfully! Who can tell me whether this is because our combat effectiveness is too poor or the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness is too strong!" Zhou Yunian glared.
Big Eyes shouted, a pair of red eyes that could almost spit fire.
The chief of staff was much calmer and asked, staring at the fourth company commander who came to report.
"Are there any brothers alive on the battlefield? I want to know how the Eighth Route Army killed our two platoons so quickly!"
The fourth company commander shook his head helplessly.
"Tuan Zuo, everyone, not to mention the living brothers, there are not many corpses of the brothers who died in the battle. The total number is less than twenty. The other brothers are alive and dead, but their bodies are not seen. They are all missing!"
Zhou Yunian finally recovered from his anger and forced himself to calm down.
"They did not disappear, but became prisoners of the Eighth Route Army!"
"We were too careless. The Eighth Route Army kept using probing attacks to confuse us and make us relax our vigilance. Then they sandwiched a real attack between the probing attacks to catch us off guard!"
"They succeeded, but we took every precaution, but in the end we were fooled and failed."
"The Eighth Route Army is so cunning, no wonder the main force of the Japanese army is no match for them!"
The chief of staff also frowned deeply.
There were so many casualties before the Eighth Route Army was encountered head-on. Counting the casualties caused by other troops in the Eighth Route Army's sporadic sneak attacks, the total number of casualties for a company must have been high.
Except when he was fighting the Japanese, he had never fought such an angry battle since he became a puppet soldier.
After feeling aggrieved, he continued to ask: "Guan Zu, the troops have suffered so many casualties, how can we fight next?"
"The same mistake cannot be made a second time. The troops will continue to strengthen their vigilance!" Zhou Yunian replied calmly.
"The strength of each security position was increased to two platoons, and they were transferred there secretly. I will now go to the Japanese and deploy the four heavy machine guns they brought to the four security positions, and they were also sent there secretly. If the Eighth Route Army still
If they dare to repeat the same trick again, we will use these troops and firepower to prepare a surprise for them!"
"Also, the Eighth Route Army outside was able to kill two of our platoons in such a short time, which shows that their combat effectiveness is very strong. Therefore, after the troops were attacked, they were still unable to attack. No one knew whether they were preparing for us around them.
The pocket array is waiting for us to be fooled!”
"The last time the main force of the Japanese army encircled and suppressed them, they suffered losses in this regard. At least a full infantry squad was killed by the Eighth Route Army in this way!"
"We must learn lessons and not give the Eighth Route Army a chance to attack and consume us!"
In the woods about 500 meters away from the Japanese and puppet army station, several torches illuminated the surrounding area.
The prisoners brought back dropped their weapons and equipment on the ground one by one, then obediently walked to the side and squatted on the ground to wait for the result.
Not long after, fire platoon leader Chen Bing rushed over with excitement.
"Platoon leader, we have calculated the captures and prisoners. There are 56 prisoners in total. Except for one platoon leader and four squad leaders, the others are ordinary soldiers."
"Two Czech-made light machine guns were seized. The platoon leader explained: Originally, each company of the puppet army only had one. In order to strengthen the firepower of the troops on duty, their regiment commander specially transferred one from other troops to them, which was an advantage for us."
"In addition, there is a box cannon and 59 rifles."
"There are more ammunition than we thought. Because they are on duty as a security force, the regiment headquarters specially replenished some ammunition for them before dark, reaching the standard of fifty rounds per person!"
"Some were used on the battlefield, and with the specially allocated machine guns, there are still more than 2,400 rounds. These are the 79 bullets that we are about to use up."
"There are 99 grenades, which are also good things we are in urgent need of!"
"Including the first and second platoons who were dispersed, we lost a total of six comrades and injured two. The bodies of the fallen comrades were not recovered, but the wounded were recovered!
The plan was successful, and he escaped unscathed, with great results and few casualties!
Li Hao's tense nerves completely relaxed, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Tianhong next to him had already shouted first.
"Captain, the battle just now was so exciting!"
"Do you want to continue fighting? This time, let me rush into the puppet army station and act as a frontal attack force!"
"Our second row can also attack, captain, don't forget us!" Yang Ping said, unwilling to lag behind.
