"Captain, think twice!" Liu Wenshan quickly advised.
"Even if we want revenge, it is not now... The guerrillas were defeated in their first attack. Almost all the soldiers who died were puppet prisoners who voluntarily joined our Eighth Route Army. They died on the battlefield for the first time. Many of them are waiting and watching, and they have not yet decided whether to
All the prisoners who joined our Eighth Route Army have given up the idea now!"
"There are many prisoners who have joined our Eighth Route Army and are now shaken. Some even directly proposed to quit the guerrillas!"
Li Hao immediately understood: the troops had been defeated, the morale of the soldiers was low, and some even gave up hope for the future of the guerrillas.
He immediately asked: "How is the veteran's condition?"
Liu Wenshan's face looked much better: "There's no problem with the veterans. They are all veterans of the Red Army who have been on the battlefield for a long time. They endured the hardships of the Long March. Even a single defeat cannot defeat them!"
"That's good!" Li Hao also breathed a long sigh of relief.
Then he ordered: "Instructor, go and tell those recruits who are wavering and have low morale now~"
"Joining the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese is not child's play, and our Eighth Route Army is not a theater troupe. We can come and leave as we please. How can we behave like this!"
"Without the permission of the guerrillas, anyone who leaves the team without authorization will be punished as a deserter!"
"Stabilize them first, and then add soldiers from the new platoons to the main platoons. First, ensure that each infantry squad has two combat teams of seven people. We will talk about the remaining ones later!"
"Tell the squad leaders and veterans of each platoon that now is the time for them to play their role as veterans. Let them tell the new recruits more about our experiences during the Long March and the victorious battles we fought. Let the new recruits realize: what is before them
The defeat is only temporary, and our guerrillas will definitely overcome this difficulty and win the war again!"
Liu Wenshan hesitated and replied: "This should have some effect!"
"But if we want them to completely restore their morale and regain their confidence in our guerrillas, it is definitely unrealistic to rely solely on the words and deeds of veterans. At most, it can temporarily stabilize them, but it will definitely lose its effectiveness in the long run!"
A murderous intent flashed across Li Hao's face quickly, and then he answered.
"I have a solution to this problem once and for all, but it will take time!"
"What you have to do is use the method I just proposed to temporarily stabilize the troops and buy me time."
Liu Wenshan's eyes lit up, he stared at Li Hao and asked: "Captain, what can I do?"
"Revenge, find the devils to fight a victorious battle of revenge!"
"Let the soldiers see with their own eyes how our guerrillas defeated the Japs. It is not hopeless to follow our guerrillas!"
"Go and make arrangements now for Tao Yongbo to come out of the mountain again, and ask the underground party and intelligence organizations to closely monitor every move of the Japanese and puppet troops outside the mountain. Regardless of whether there is any new situation, send someone back to report once a day!"
"This time the little devils successfully plotted against us, killed more than a hundred of us, and seized a large number of weapons and equipment. They will definitely celebrate!"
"I judge that they must have follow-up actions!"
At the Japanese garrison headquarters in Lingqiu County, the adjutant rushed in with a telegram in his hand and an excited look on his face.
"Sir, we won, the plan was successful!"
"Captain Nakamura received an urgent call. They were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army twenty kilometers away from the county seat. After nearly half an hour of bloody battle, they successfully killed the main force of the Eighth Route Army and wiped out more than 120 Eighth Route Army soldiers. Only less than twenty Eighth Route Army soldiers escaped with their wounded.
Got it!"
"In addition, they also seized four light machine guns, two grenade launchers, and more than 80 rifles, all of which are standard weapons of the imperial army!"
"I am sure of my humble position: what Captain Nakamura killed must have been the main force of the Eighth Route Army hiding in the mountains!"
"Yoshi!" Major Noda also showed a long-lost smile on his face.
Ever since the transport team left the city, he has been waiting here for news.
Success or failure depends on this battle. If you lose, the possibility of finding an opportunity to lure them out of the mountains to gather together and rape them is almost zero.
In addition, this operation was led and executed by him, even if it was for his own WeChat, this operation could not be defeated.
Now that he heard the news about the success of the operation, he must be the happiest person.
He didn't know that Captain Nakamura would lie to him about the military situation and tell him more than twice as much about the escaped Eighth Route Army, but he was happy to answer.
"Yo Xi, Nakamura-kun played well, I will definitely personally ask the brigade commander for his credit!"
"After more than a hundred Eighth Route Army troops have been killed, there will definitely be very few Eighth Route Army troops left in the mountains. In addition, they are short of food and medicine. As long as they do not get new supplies, they will all starve to death."
"Those seriously injured will also die in pain because there is no medicine!"
"If I remember correctly, this is the only anti-Japanese armed force left in the entire Lingqiu territory, and now they are finally going to be eliminated!"
"Congratulations, sir!" the adjutant said with a flattering look on his face.
"Without the anti-Japanese armed forces in Lingqiu, you will definitely be commended by the brigade commander. When the time comes, sir, if you get promoted, don't forget us!"
If Lingqiu's public security is really the best among the dozen or so surrounding counties, his promotion is definitely a certainty.
You know, there is still a vacant position of commander of the brigade, and I am qualified to fill it. The only thing missing is an introduction. To eliminate the last anti-Japanese armed force in Lingqiu, and it is also the most difficult Eighth Route Army, this is absolutely
It's the best introduction.
Thinking of this, the smile on Major Noda's face became even wider.
"Don't worry, I see your support for me and I will definitely never forget you!"
"But before that we still have two things to do."
"One is to continue to strengthen the troops and firepower of the Hongquan Village stronghold, and order the baggage troops to continue transporting materials, equipment and ammunition to the stronghold. The strength of the stronghold must be increased to one reinforced squadron of the imperial army and one battalion of the puppet army! I want to completely block the Eighth Route Army's entry into and out of the mountains.
All the passages, trapping them in the mountain!"
"The second thing is to celebrate the victory. Through the celebration, we will deter the Chinese in Lingqiu so that they will not dare to resist the Imperial Army of Japan!"
"Reply a telegram to Captain Nakamura and ask him to drag all the weapons and equipment captured on the battlefield and the Eighth Route Army soldiers killed back to the county seat. I want to hold a celebration exhibition in the county seat."
"The exhibition will start in two days and last for one day. Every town and village in Lingqiu will send people to participate!"
"Sir is wise!" the adjutant continued to compliment.
"I have another suggestion: contact the war reporters in the brigade and ask them to participate!"
"Not only can we promote the imperial army's illustrious military exploits through this celebration exhibition, but we can also let more people know about you, sir!"
The smile on Major Noda's face grew wider: "I agree, you should do it now!"
At the secret transportation station where the underground party and guerrillas communicated in Lingqiu County, the atmosphere in the room was very solemn.
Some people looked regretful, some looked serious, and some looked heartbroken.
I don't know how long it took, but Tao Yongbo, who was sitting among them, couldn't help but said: "Secretary Wang, and several other comrades, although our guerrillas failed in this operation due to incorrect intelligence,
And we lost a lot of soldiers. But our captain said that we can’t blame everyone for this!”
"The whole thing has been a conspiracy led by the Japanese from the beginning. No matter how cautious we are, we will be fooled in the end!"
"Instead of blaming ourselves and regretting here, it is better to gather more useful information and give it to the guerrillas, so that we can win more battles and avenge the fallen soldiers!"
Secretary Wang said: "Squad leader Dong is right, everyone cheers up and tells us the information they have. If it is useful, we will summarize it immediately and send it to the guerrillas!"
"I have a piece of information here from the Lingqiu Security Camp!" An intelligence officer stood up and answered.
"The Japanese gave them an order in the afternoon: let them set up an exhibition venue that can accommodate 500 people at the military camp training ground to display the equipment of our guerrillas captured in this battle and the bodies of the guerrilla fighters killed.
."
"The exhibition will start in two days and last for one day. Every village in Lingqiu will send people to participate!"
Dong Xulin's eyes instantly turned red, and he was the first to stand up and shout: "This is an insult to our Eighth Route Army soldiers... We cannot allow them to successfully hold a celebration exhibition under any circumstances!"
