The two subordinates were arguing over this issue, and neither could convince the other.
The officers of the Imperial Army and the Guard Battalion stood nearby and watched the joke without saying a word.
Major Noda, who was already very angry, couldn't help but said angrily: "Shut up, do you think this is a vegetable market?"
"I've got a solution to all your problems once and for all!"
"As long as we do it, the celebration exhibition can continue, and there will be no false claims of military exploits!"
"What method?" the adjutant asked subconsciously, with a look of disbelief.
The squadron leader should trust Noda and answer immediately: "Please give the order, captain. This matter is related to the honor and future of all of us. No matter how difficult the task is to complete, I will work hard to complete the humble job!"
Major Noda hesitated and made a decision: "Send troops immediately to reinforce Hongquan Village."
"At the same time, cooperate with the garrison in Hongquan Village, attack from inside and outside, kill the Eighth Route Army attacking them, and completely eliminate them!"
"As long as we kill them, the celebration exhibition will not lie about military information, and it will be more convincing!"
"The third squadron, the second heavy machine gun squad, and the second mortar squad will set off immediately to reinforce Hongquan Village and kill the Eighth Route Army there!"
"The car transport squadron is responsible for transporting them in the shortest time, so that they can rush to the battlefield with the best size to launch an assault on the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops!"
"The reinforcements and the motor transport team must leave the city within twenty minutes!"
"The celebration exhibition time remains unchanged!"
The adjutant's eyes lit up and his frown relaxed, but he still hesitated for a few seconds and reminded him.
"It's a good idea, but this way, we won't have enough security guards at the celebration exhibition!"
"Ask the Imperial Army to come!" Major Noda replied without thinking!
The adjutant didn't seem to agree. He thought for a moment and suggested: "How about we also send some Imperial Army soldiers to reinforce Hongquan Village? One company of Imperial Army soldiers and a small group of Imperial Army soldiers come down. I always feel that something will happen to the celebration exhibition. I just
Let the puppet troops, garrison battalions and gendarmerie be responsible for guarding. The number of troops is too small, especially the proportion of the imperial army, which is even smaller."
"No!" Major Noda refused without hesitation.
"Their combat effectiveness is too poor. They can maintain law and order and fight defensive battles relying on fortifications. Let them go to the battlefield to fight in the field with the Eighth Route Army and fight head-on. Not only will they not be able to help the imperial army, but they will also hinder the imperial army!"
"Your worries are not a problem at all. The Eighth Route Army attacked our stronghold in Hongquan Village. Even if there are their people in the city, they are very few. What big wave can they cause?"
"The imperial army has been stationed in the county for so long, and they haven't taken any action yet. This shows that their strength in the city is very weak!"
"Let's take a step back and say that even if the Eighth Route Army really intends to destroy the celebration exhibition, the role of the puppet army may be stronger than that of the imperial army!"
"They are more familiar with the terrain of the county than the imperial army, and they are familiar with the Chinese. If they are willing, it will definitely be easier than us to catch those sneak attackers!"
"Stop talking, follow the order I just gave and execute it immediately!"
"The reinforcements must arrive at the battlefield within two hours and attack from both sides to kill the Eighth Route Army there!"
"The celebration exhibition started on time. I will use this victory as a gift to the celebration exhibition and report this victory directly to His Excellency the General at the celebration exhibition!"
In the eyes of Major Noda and all the Japanese here, an infantry squadron plus a heavy machine gun squad and an artillery squad, a force composed of more than 200 elite imperial troops, can definitely compete with any opponent on the Chinese battlefield.
On the frontal battlefield, they were not far behind even a main group of the Central Army, let alone the Eighth Route Army with more than 200 people.
Although the Eighth Route Army suffered losses for them time and time again and lost troops and generals, these Japanese officers who thought they were superior still looked down on the Chinese army from the bottom of their hearts.
A hilly mountainous area less than five kilometers away from the stronghold.
The winding road winds along the foot of the mountain. Although the hills next to the road are not high, it is still no problem to ambush more than a hundred people.
Except for the three platoons that had suffered the most casualties, they pretended to be attacking the strongholds of the Eighth Route Army and put on a show for the Japanese reinforcements.
The fire platoon, the main platoons 1, 2, and 4, the guard platoon, and the reconnaissance platoon all dispatched on a rapid march to get here.
Even so, Li Hao only had about 150 troops at hand.
"Captain, this is a place for an ambush! The troops are ambushing on the mountainside, and the grenades can be thrown directly onto the road to ensure that the little Japanese reinforcements are thrown off their backs and killed." Hong Linfeng shouted with gleaming eyes.
Li Hao rolled his eyes at Hong Linfeng.
Every time he made a decision to go to war, he was the one who raised the most questions and worries, and he was often the most excited in the end.
With a look of helplessness, he ordered: "Then why are you still standing there? Arrange the pocket formation immediately. We have fought this kind of ambush battle several times. You should be familiar with it by now!"
"Captain, don't worry, I will start the arrangement now to ensure that every machine gun is placed in the best shooting position!"
In less than half an hour, the bustling battlefield fell silent.
Everyone lurked, waiting quietly for the Japanese to arrive.
A cavalry figure suddenly appeared at the end of the road. Li Hao felt nervous at first, thinking that the Japanese were coming.
Once the other person completely enters your field of vision, your tense nerves will immediately relax.
"It's Tao Yongbo from the communications class. Go down and pick him up alone. He has been guarding the county town and must have brought back a lot of information about the Japanese reinforcements!"
Soon, Dong Xulin climbed up the mountain panting heavily.
"Captain, the Japanese reinforcements have been dispatched. They are all coming in cars. There are twenty cars in total. They are marching very fast. They are all Japanese. They also bring mortars and heavy machine guns!"
"They were going too fast. I asked the three soldiers who were meeting me outside the communication board city to destroy the road behind and slow down the cars. I rode back on horseback to report!"
"Also, the Japanese army was very cautious. Twenty cars stretched a distance of four to five hundred meters. Even if they were ambushed, they would not be captured by us in one fell swoop!"
The smile on Li Hao's face disappeared and he answered with a frown: "Judging from the number of cars, the Japanese army dispatched an infantry squadron, an artillery squad, and a heavy machine gun squad, with a total strength of 250 people divided into 20 cars!
"
"Their convoy is too long. We only have more than 150 troops participating in the battle, and the pocket formation is only more than 100 meters long. It cannot fit the entire convoy!"
Hong Linfeng also frowned.
Staring at Li Hao, he suggested: "Can you block the pocket exit with rocks, block all the Japanese convoys in the pocket formation, and then launch an attack?"
"no!"
Before Li Hao spoke, Tao Yongbo next to him had already denied it.
"The Japanese are more cautious than we thought!"
"A few soldiers at the back of the communications squad also blocked the road with stones. As soon as their first car stopped, the following cars stopped moving forward. Even if the entire convoy stopped, there was still at least twenty meters between cars.
Safe distance, no crowding at all!”
"Then there's nothing we can do!" Hong Linfeng frowned deeper and answered helplessly.
Li Hao frowned and said nothing. After a long time, he replied: "There is another way!"
"Temporarily change the tactics and change the ambush battle to a blockade battle!"
"Force them together through blockades, and then find a way to get together and kill them!"
