Hong Linfeng's character of questioning orders from his superiors was exposed again.
Looking at Li Hao, he asked with a pair of big eyes and a look of disbelief.
"We have a head-to-head confrontation with the Japanese reinforcements. With our small strength and no blocking position, how is it possible... Captain, please don't be impulsive. The guerrillas only have this little wealth, and it will be gone if we use up all of it!"
"If we don't have a position, we can build a temporary position. If we don't have time, we can find a way to buy time!" Li Hao answered decisively.
Hong Linfeng continued to remind: "But our troops are too small, only half as much as the Japs. Our firepower is not as good as the Japs, how can we go head-to-head with them!"
"Taking a step back, even if we try our best, we can't beat the little devil!"
Li Hao shook his head and replied: "Who told you that blocking is just a head-to-head fight with the Japs? I'm telling you, blocking can also be done with tactics and tactics. It all depends on whether we can come up with good tactics!"
"That's it. We are now temporarily changing our tactics: first use blocking warfare to hold back the enemy and wear them down, and then find an opportunity to gather together and kill them."
"In a word, they must not be allowed to fight back to Hongquan Village and occupy it."
"Guard Platoon, Reconnaissance Platoon!"
"Here!" Xiao Yuan and Dong Xulin stood up from the ground.
"Follow Deputy Captain Hong, set off now and march towards the county seat. Find the Japanese who are killing them and hold them back for at least two hours at all costs!"
"I don't care whether you are setting up booby traps, destroying roads, or directly blocking them. Counting from now on, I don't want to see them here within two hours!"
Captain Li Hao made a decision and even ten horses could not pull him back.
The worry on Hong Linfeng's face has not diminished, but the order has been issued.
As a soldier, his opinions can remain, but his orders must be carried out.
He answered bravely: "Captain, don't worry, I promise to complete the mission!"
As soon as Hong Linfeng and his men left, Li Hao stared at the three platoon leaders and ordered: "If I remember correctly, there are many mountain tops along the way from here to Hongquan Village, right next to the road in front of us."
"The platoon is building a blocking position here on the spot. It doesn't need to be too strong. It won't be too strong even in two hours. And I don't plan to fight the enemy here. I'll retreat after the attack. As long as I can hide!"
"
"Follow me in the second and third rows. We will find two more high ground to build blocking positions later!"
"Strike layer by layer, each blocking position kills thirty Japanese soldiers, and the three blocking positions add up to a hundred Japanese soldiers."
"There are only more than 200 of them in total, and the fighting force is 150 strong. The three defense lines combined will kill two-thirds of the fighting force, and the remaining Japanese will not be a concern."
Captain Matsumoto, the Japanese commander of the county’s reinforcements to Hongquan Village.
Compared with the bumps in the car cabin, the passenger seat is much more comfortable.
But the road under his feet was too bad, and he was still dizzy with stops and starts along the way. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore and could only lie down on the backrest and fall asleep.
"Zhizhi..."
A harsh brake sound suddenly sounded in his ears, and Captain Matsumoto was awakened from his deep sleep.
He frowned and asked the driver next to him: "Are there any rocks blocking the road again?"
"Hi! There were no gunshots coming from the front. The road must have been damaged. Either rocks or big trees were blocking the road!" the driver answered carefully.
Although he is not affiliated with the squadron leader next to him, he is a captain after all, and he is just a sergeant. If he offends him, the other party will have many ways to deal with him and give him some shoes to wear.
After Captain Matsumoto gave the order, he leaned back on the passenger seat and planned to continue sleeping.
"Boom boom..."
He did not wait for a car to continue moving forward because the road was being repaired, but instead waited for two violent explosions.
Soldiers are naturally sensitive to the sound of gunfire, and they will want to stand up from their seats if they touch it.
"Pa~"
He forgot that he was sitting in the passenger seat and couldn't stand up at all. His subconscious impulse made him hit his head directly on the roof of the car.
Although the pain made him grit his teeth, he quickly opened the car door and jumped out from the passenger seat.
The guards in the rear car also reacted quickly. They all jumped out of the car like diving, and then gathered around the squadron leader, holding their rifles in their hands to prevent accidents.
It wasn't until a small protective circle was formed that a sergeant from the forward team rushed over, breathing heavily.
"Sir, we must have encountered the main force of the Eighth Route Army!"
"The road ahead was blocked by a big tree, and they also placed booby traps among the branches and leaves of the big tree. Our two teams cleaning the road detonated the booby traps. Two Imperial Army soldiers were killed on the spot, and four Imperial Army soldiers were killed.
Seriously injured and losing combat effectiveness."
"They're here so soon!" The good mood on Matsumoto's face disappeared.
He stared at the deputy rushing over and asked, "How far is it from Hongquan Village?"
"Eight kilometers!" the deputy quickly replied.
"If we walk three kilometers further, we can hear the sound of gunfire coming from the Hongquan Village stronghold!"
Captain Matsumoto obviously breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it's not far away. Even if the main force of the Eighth Route Army comes over, it won't take us too much time to get to this point!"
"Two cars were brought out specifically to transport the wounded and the remains of the dead soldiers. We continue to move forward. I want those warriors to see with their own eyes how we killed the Eighth Route Army soldiers in Hongquan Village and avenged them!"
"Hi..." the sergeant and the deputy replied at the same time.
With the lesson just learned, the Japanese dredged the road more carefully. If they could use tools, they would never use their hands. If they couldn't, they would find ways to use them. Even if they had to use their hands, they would have to check first to make sure there were no booby traps before starting.
The road that could have been cleared in five minutes actually took ten minutes to clear.
The convoy continued to move forward, and Captain Matsumoto took a long breath and returned to the co-pilot to continue to close his eyes and rest.
"Zhizhi...boom..."
Less than five minutes after walking, the annoying sound of brakes sounded in my ears again.
Captain Matsumoto frowned subconsciously. Before he could speak, three consecutive explosions sounded on the road ahead.
"Sir, the road ahead was blocked again by the Eighth Route Army with rocks. This time they placed booby traps beside the road. When the warriors jumped out of the carriage, they detonated the booby traps. A total of three warriors were killed and two were injured!" Just now!
The sergeant who had appeared once rushed directly to the side of Captain Matsumoto's co-pilot and reported.
"Bagya Road~"
Matsumoto became angry and cursed loudly.
But faced with this sneak attack method, he was in a hurry to get to Hongquan Village and had no solution at all.
He can only vent the anger accumulated in his heart along the way by swearing at others.
This time, it took the Japanese army twenty minutes to clear the road.
But the good times did not last long. The convoy stopped after only walking for three minutes. Although there was no explosion and there were no casualties among the troops. However, the reports from his subordinates made him even more angry, and he even thought of killing people on the spot!
