"Captain, do you think the Japanese and puppet troops will be fooled?" After setting up the pocket array, deputy captain Hong Linfeng approached Li Hao and asked with a suspicious look on his face.
It's not that he doesn't believe Li Hao, it's just that this method is too mysterious.
Let Huang Sheng pretend to break away from the Eighth Route Army, start anew, leave the mountains, and lure the Japanese and puppet troops to raid them.
Are the Japanese and puppet troops really that stupid? They didn't even bother to investigate, but just sent out troops to surprise them, and then dived into the pocket formation they had just prepared?
Not only was Hong Linfeng full of doubts about this operation, but before departure, the instructor Liu Wenshan also told Li Hao repeatedly with an expression of disbelief that if the Japanese and puppet troops were not fooled and retreated directly, do not go to them to force him.
spell.
Li Hao replied confidently: "I don't know if the Japanese will be fooled, but the puppet soldiers will definitely be!"
"In their eyes, our guerrillas are finished and can no longer threaten them."
"In addition, the puppet army hates Huang Sheng deeply, and now Huang Sheng finally shows up and walks out of the mountains. If they don't seize the opportunity to kill him and kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, there will be more battlefields for Huang Sheng in the future. Anyway, for the sake of national justice,
Betray them!"
"As long as the puppet troops in Hongquan Village are not stupid, they will definitely send troops to kill Huang Sheng. All we need to do is wait patiently."
An hour's wait is like a year for the guerrillas.
Especially those recruits with low morale and wavering thoughts.
Because of the long wait, many people had impatient expressions on their faces. Morale, which was already low, has now hit rock bottom.
"Rumble..."
Suddenly, the sound of horse hoofbeats reached Li Hao's ears.
The two captains and deputy platoon commanders of the cavalry platoon, who had the best riding skills, galloped over on their war horses like the wind.
After entering the pocket formation, he stopped, handed the horse to the cavalry platoon recruits to hide, and rushed towards Li Hao while breathing heavily.
"Captain, the Japanese and puppet troops are out!"
"As expected, the Hongquan Village stronghold sent a large number of Japanese and puppet troops to attack Lintian Village!"
"There are two companies of the puppet army and two infantry squads of the Japanese army, with a total strength of more than 300 people and no heavy weapons!"
"One company of puppet troops is leading the way in front, one company of puppet troops is in the rear, and the Japanese are marching in the middle. They are marching very fast!"
"We came here on horseback. According to their marching speed, we should be able to kill them in another hour!"
The two complemented each other and soon told all the information they had discovered.
Hong Linfeng was stunned for a moment, and then his face was shrouded in huge surprise. His eyes looking at Li Hao became more and more hot, and he immediately shouted: "Great, our wait today was not in vain, the Japanese were fooled.
"
Then he stared at the reconnaissance platoon leader Dong Xulin and asked: "Are you sure that the Japanese and puppet troops that came over were two companies of puppet troops plus a small group of puppet troops? Those puppet troops are not little devils pretending to be soldiers!"
Once bitten, twice shy.
The defeat of Hong Linfeng in the last battle has been kept in mind, and he is deeply afraid that the Japanese army will repeat its old tricks and let the guerrillas stumble again on the same problem!
Dong Xulin quickly replied: "I'm sure!"
"The Japs are well-trained, but the puppet troops are poorly trained. It can be seen from their marching and gun-holding postures... The captain specifically explained this issue. In order to find out their true identity, I even took the risk to conduct a close reconnaissance. There is absolutely no
wrong!"
"That's good!" Hong Linfeng replied with a long sigh of relief, and then stared at Li Hao, waiting for him to give the order.
Li Hao replied with a serious face: "The reason why we were fooled and defeated last time was because we believed in the intelligence too much and did not investigate the enemy's situation ourselves!"
"If we had sent scouts and kept an eye on them all the way, we would have discovered the clues in advance. We would rather not fight that battle than be fooled!"
"We will definitely not make the same mistake again, Lao Hong, don't worry. Now that the situation of the Japanese and puppet troops' attacking troops has been clarified, we will readjust the ambush plan according to the formation of the Japanese and puppet troops!"
"Guard platoon, one platoon, against one company of forward puppet troops!"
"Second platoon, third platoon, deal with a company of puppet troops at the rear."
"Fire platoon, artillery platoon, reconnaissance platoon, concentrate fire on the little Japs in the middle."
"Especially the fire platoon, after the battle starts, don't save bullets for me, concentrate all the light and heavy machine gun firepower, and kill at least half of the little Japs for me in the first round of strafing."
"The artillery platoon set up the mortars in advance and aimed them at the road!"
"When the battle begins, each gun fires five rounds rapidly, and then all gunners are on standby, waiting for new bombardment orders!"
"All assistant gunners and ammunition handlers in the artillery platoon are equipped with rifles to participate in the battle, increasing our firepower for raiding the Japanese and puppet troops!"
Huang Sheng, who arrived half an hour ago, was anxious: "Captain, where are we? The fourth platoon is also a member of the guerrillas. The fourth platoon also has to participate in the battle to fight the Japanese. You can't be partial and look down on the fourth platoon!"
It's not like Li Hao never thought about letting the fourth platoon participate in the battle.
Most of the enemies to be attacked today are their former comrades. Worried that they would not be able to attack and affect the battle, Li Hao gave up the idea of them participating in the battle from the beginning, so he did not mention the fourth platoon just now.
Huang Sheng's reminder made him think of a solution.
"I originally thought that the Japanese and puppet troops would be mixed together, and you would have some scruples when participating in the battle because of the presence of the puppet troops. Now that the Japanese and puppet troops march completely separately, you will not have so many scruples if you specialize in fighting the Japanese!"
"You also participate in the battle, dispersed as a squad in the middle of the fire platoon, and participate in the battle to ambush the Japanese army!"
"Tell the comrades that this is the first time they have beaten the Japanese since they joined the Eighth Route Army. Don't be polite. Let them vent all their anger at the hands of the little devils. Beat the Japanese and kill them... Revenge and complain.
!”
"Yes, captain!" Huang Sheng replied excitedly, and then went to arrange the troops!
"Cavalry platoon!" Li Hao continued to order!
Platoon leader Luo Tianpeng had been waiting nearby to worry after reporting the situation he had just detected. The cavalry platoon had not yet formed a combat effectiveness, and could not even do the most basic galloping. It was not qualified to participate in the battle.
Suddenly hearing Li Hao handing him over, hope quickly ignited on his anxious face, and he answered like a reflex.
"Come to...Captain, does the cavalry platoon also have a mission?"
"Yes, in this battle, all combat units of the guerrillas will participate in the battle. We must ensure victory!"
"If you have not yet formed a fighting force, then dismount and fight. I require you to be able to outrun the cavalry even without your horse!"
"The cavalry platoon is based on squads and ambush at both ends of the pocket formation. There is one squad in front and two squads in the back. Kill the Japanese and puppet troops who may break out of the pocket formation and not let any of them slip through the net!"
"If a Japanese and puppet soldier runs away, I will ask you for it!"
"The cavalry platoon promises to complete its mission, and I will personally lead the people to guard the rear!" Luo Tianpeng replied decisively.
