"All the troops are coming up!" Li Hao asked with his eyes shining.
"Except for the platoon that is attacking the Japanese and puppet troops, everyone else is here!" Hong Linfeng replied quickly.
Then he stared at Li Hao, fearing that he would miss every next sentence of Li Hao.
Li Hao did not disappoint him. He raised his eyebrows and started to give orders.
"After the Japanese and puppet troops come over, Lao Hong, you stay at the mountain pass and use the three bunkers to block the Japanese and puppet attack at all costs. The three machine gun groups of the fire platoon and the platoon that is about to withdraw are left here under your command, instructor
I will bring four more machine guns that are not equipped with troops there, and I will give them all to you. Ammunition is provided unconditionally. You can replenish as much as you need, no problem!"
Hong Linfeng's mind immediately flashed the scene of the last time he blocked the Japanese army at the mountain pass.
Three machine gunners hid in the bunker and used six crooked handles to block the Japanese attacking troops. The guns never rested, and finally the Japanese troops were killed and fled.
Thinking that he would be commanding the same battle, his whole body immediately became excited.
He replied with excitement: "Don't worry, captain, I promise to complete the mission!"
"This time I have three machine gun bunkers. As long as the enemy dares to come, I guarantee that we will kill as many as they come!"
"Don't be too careless and underestimate the enemy!" Li Hao reminded.
"The Japanese and puppet troops who came over this time not only had heavy machine guns, they also had mortars!"
"Our bunker can withstand grenade grenade attacks, but not mortar shells, so you must keep an eye on the three bunkers. Once any bunker shows signs of being destroyed, immediately ask the machine gunner to move to the next bunker.
bunker!"
"I don't want to hear that our soldiers were not killed by the enemy but were buried in the bunker."
Hong Linfeng replied with excitement: "Captain, don't worry, I have remembered it all!"
Li Hao nodded and continued to order: "The others will follow me and set off now, lurking near the battlefield and waiting in hiding!"
"These Japanese and puppet troops have brought so much heavy equipment, and no matter what, some must be left behind."
"Also, the machine gunners of the fire platoon replaced all the crooked weapons with the Czech-made ones we captured in the past few days, and brought a few more magazines to fill them up with bullets!"
"Machine guns are used as submachine guns, and you have to charge with them. Czech-made ones are easier to use than crooked ones, are less likely to malfunction, and have more powerful firepower!"
Speaking of this, Li Hao's face slowly became serious.
"Comrades, this is the first battle since the establishment of our Lingqiu Anti-Japanese Guerrillas. Since we are going to fight, we must show our prestige. Let the Japanese and puppet troops in Lingqiu tremble when they hear the prestige of our Lingqiu Anti-Japanese Guerrillas.
Trembling, the small group of Japanese and puppet troops dare not attack us!"
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the mighty Japanese and puppet troops finally stopped.
The commander of the forward company rushed over and panted loudly and reported: "Commander, we are here!"
"We have arrived at the mountain pass we are going to attack. There are traces of soil disturbance on the mountainside. The Eighth Route Army must have built fortifications on it!"
"Because he did not know the specific strength and firepower of the Eighth Route Army at the mountain pass, he was worried about being fooled and did not order the troops to attack directly!"
"Very good!" Zhou Yuchang said with a sigh of relief.
He walked very frustrated along the way. Reports of casualties kept coming to him, but the Eighth Route Army troops moving around were like ghosts, appearing and disappearing. It was impossible to catch their traces, and they could only be beaten passively.
He has been in the military for more than ten years and has never encountered such a cunning deputy.
At the same time, I also understood why the main force of the Japanese army failed to encircle and suppress them.
Without understanding the opponent or even knowing how the opponent would attack, the troops rushed into battle with these Eighth Route Army troops, leaving no one with a chance to win.
He was very lucky that he found the Japanese to learn about the situation of the Eighth Route Army before setting off.
Otherwise, I will be confused by this new style of fighting, and eventually be driven out of this forest.
Now that the mountain pass has been reached, the Eighth Route Army's little tricks are useless no matter how powerful they are.
As long as you go all out to seize the mountain pass, find the Eighth Route Army's secret camp, and capture the seriously wounded inside, you will have caught the Eighth Route Army's fox by its tail.
No matter how cunning they are, they will not be able to escape their grasp.
The fighting spirit and confidence that Zhou Yunian had lost along the way was regained at this moment.
"The troops rest where they are, and the security forces continue to strengthen their vigilance. The others eat some dry food and replenish their strength. We will start the attack half an hour later, and try to capture at least the mountain pass after dark. We will fight to the Eighth Route Army's secret camp to spend the night tonight!"
Zhou Yunian was very arrogant. After saying this, he walked towards the mountain pass without paying any attention to the Eighth Route Army on the mountainside.
After raising the telescope and looking at it for five minutes, my eyes were fixed on one point.
"Chief of Staff, look at that hillock. It looks like a hillock on the surface. There is nothing strange about it. It is actually a machine gun bunker. The last time the Japanese were unable to capture this place for a long time, it was because of this machine gun bunker."
"I can't let him have the same problem a second time!"
"Contact the Japanese and tell them that we have found the main force of the Eighth Route Army on the mountainside and ask them to cooperate with us in the attack!"
"First focus on three mortars to destroy the Eighth Route Army's machine gun bunker on the mountainside, and then focus on four heavy machine guns to cover our attack on the mountainside!"
"Strive to capture the mountainside with one attack and kill the Eighth Route Army above!"
"Also, order Zhou Sheng to take his fifth company to protect the Japanese."
"Doesn't he not want to sacrifice his life for the Japanese? Then he can protect the Japanese. If anything happens, the Japanese will deal with him without us even taking action."
The Japanese also wanted to kill the Eighth Route Army in the woods.
The lieutenant had also heard about the last time the main force collapsed here. Whether it was to cooperate with the puppet army or to avenge his comrades who died here, he would go all out.
He quickly found a nearby high ground.
In terms of altitude, not even half of the mountainside defended by the Eighth Route Army.
But the area on the high ground is large enough to deploy the three mortars and four heavy machine guns that we brought.
The condescending terrain can also ensure the safety of artillery positions and heavy machine gun positions and avoid enemy sneak attacks.
"Everyone go up to the high ground, deploy artillery and heavy machine guns, and prepare for battle!" the lieutenant drew out his command knife and pointed at the high ground not far away and ordered.
The fifth company commander Huang Sheng was unwilling to sacrifice his life for the Japanese from the bottom of his heart, but with so many Japanese and puppet troops watching him, he had to carry out the order.
Otherwise he will be beaten to death.
He himself was not afraid of death, but he did not want to see so many soldiers from the Fifth Company being buried with him because of the anger of the Japanese.
Reluctantly, he led his troops to follow the Japanese, and then used squads as units to guard around the artillery positions.
