The guerrillas were equipped with radio stations, and Li Hao set a new precedent among the entire Eighth Route Army.
Take the nearest division as an example. The military division of Nuo Da is only equipped with an old radio station that may go on strike at any time. The three brigades of the main force are not equipped with a single radio station. This shows how precious communication tools like radio stations are in the Eighth Route Army.
Nowadays, such an important radio station is not allocated to the first brigade with the strongest combat effectiveness in the military division. Instead, it is allocated to the guerrillas who are not even the main force. No one understands what the chief of staff is thinking.
The chief of staff knew in his heart that he was not impulsive, nor was he offering the reward to Li Hao for turning in the radio station and map.
It was a bold decision he made after careful consideration.
What he saw and heard here made him more and more certain that the combat effectiveness of the guerrillas should not be underestimated.
Since the guerrillas have combat effectiveness, the task of harassing the Japanese and puppet troops passing through Lingqiu will definitely fall on them!
In order to avoid accidents, the divisional headquarters must keep abreast of the latest battle conditions on the front line and make early preparations. Equipping the guerrillas with radio stations and using the radio to understand the situation of the guerrillas anytime and anywhere is definitely the best way!
At this time, Li Hao also reacted to the surprise of being equipped with a radio and directly contacted the military district headquarters, and answered with excitement.
"Thank you, chief. I promise to make good use of this radio station and the operators assigned to us by the district!"
After finishing, he stared at the chief of staff and asked the question he had always wanted to ask.
"Chief, I wonder why you came to our Lingqiu Anti-Japanese Guerrillas? Do you have any tasks for our guerrillas?"
The chief of staff quickly returned to his usual serious expression, then stared at Li Hao and asked.
"Comrade Li Hao, tell me the truth, how many troops do the guerrillas have now, what are their equipment and combat effectiveness? The more detailed the better, don't hide anything!"
"Something must have happened somewhere?" Li Hao thought to himself.
Then he replied with a serious face: "Chief: The guerrilla combat force now has four main platoons, a firepower platoon, a mortar platoon, a guard platoon, a reconnaissance platoon, a baggage platoon, and a cavalry platoon!"
"Except for the artillery platoon and the cavalry platoon, which have not formed combat effectiveness, several other combat platoons can go to the battlefield at any time."
"The total combat force of the entire guerrilla army is a little over three hundred!"
"The equipment is not bad. The combat troops have a 38-meter-high manpower, and the infantry platoon has a crooked handle and a grenade launcher!"
"The fire platoon is equipped with two heavy machine guns and eight Czech-made guns!"
"The mortar platoon is equipped with three 81mm medium-sized mortars that captured the Japs!"
"The cavalry platoon has 29 cavalrymen!"
"There is still enough ammunition."
"As for the combat effectiveness, there are an average of three veterans per infantry squad, and the others are all prisoners of the puppet army who have been mobilized and asked to join us. After these few days of training, they should be able to directly participate in the battle!"
The chief of staff was shocked by the series of data revealed by Li Hao.
He took a breath and exclaimed: "Comrade Li Hao, the firepower equipment of your guerrillas can definitely be described as luxurious!"
"The best-equipped group in the division doesn't have as many machine guns as you."
"The same 38-piece cover, a dozen machine guns, two heavy machine guns, and three medium-sized mortars. This is basically the firepower configuration of the main force group!"
Li Hao smiled and said nothing. He had seized these equipments one by one from the Japanese. Now that he heard the chief of staff praise him, he was happy from the bottom of his heart.
"Very good!" The chief of staff, who slowly calmed down, praised again without hesitation.
Then the conversation changed and he continued: "Originally, I was worried that your guerrillas would not be able to complete this mission. Now with your report just now, I am no longer worried, and I am full of confidence in you!"
"What you just judged is correct. I came here with a mission for you, and it's a big mission!"
After saying that, the chief of staff walked to the map hanging on the wall, pointed at the map and introduced: "According to the intelligence, the Japanese North China Front Army has assembled heavy troops and plans to divide the troops into eight routes to besiege our newly established Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Province in two or three days.
Base area!”
"The military region has decided that our division will be responsible for the three-pronged sweep of the troops here!"
"The opinion of the military region is that it is better to cut off one of his fingers than to injure ten of them. The commander and I both agreed and decided to concentrate all the main cameras of the military region to search for fighters and attack one of the mopping up troops, while the other two mopping up troops are mainly for harassment!"
"Because the military division has limited troops, poor equipment and insufficient ammunition, they can only harass the Japanese and puppet troops along one route. The Japanese and puppet troops on the route passing through Lingqiu will not have the strength to deal with them."
"As a last resort, the commander and I thought of you!"
"I came here to confirm whether your guerrillas are really as powerful and well-equipped as reported by the underground party. If this is true, we will hand over this important task to the guerrillas!"
"The total number of Japanese and puppet troops passing through Lingqiu is more than 2,500, and the Japs alone have 1,500. They are equipped with heavy machine guns, mortars, infantry artillery, and mountain artillery. They can also call for control and support anytime and anywhere!
"
"The opinion of the military division is that your guerrillas should keep them in Lingqiu for at least ten days!"
"You are the guerrilla leader. You have to decide for yourself whether you can complete the mission. I will give you half an hour to deduce it, and I will get the results after half an hour!"
"If we cannot complete this task, and with the current strength and equipment of the guerrillas, we can delay it for a few days at all costs, I also want accurate data!"
Tremendous stress……
This is how Li Hao feels at this moment.
There are more than 300 guerrillas fighting against more than 2,500 Japanese and puppet troops. Just hearing this number can scare people to death.
Not to mention that this Japanese and puppet army was equipped with mountain artillery and infantry artillery that I had never seen before, and they could call for air support at any time.
Li Hao's first thought was that this task was impossible.
Not to mention ten days, delaying it for five days is even more difficult than reaching the sky.
Just as he was about to refuse, the serious expression the chief of staff looked at him shocked him, and he realized that this matter might be more important than he thought.
Even if the military subdivision still has some methods, it is absolutely impossible to find itself in a guerrilla force that cannot even be called the main force.
Moreover, it was the chief of staff of the military division who personally came to him and personally gave him the order, further proving the seriousness and importance of this matter.
After taking a deep breath, Li Hao turned his attention to the map again, his mind working rapidly, thinking about tactics that could be used to harass the Japanese.
Five minutes passed, and Li Hao didn't move!
Ten minutes have passed, and Li Hao is still staring at the map without moving. The only thing that changes is his face. Sometimes he frowns, sometimes he relaxes, which is very complicated.
The chief of staff did not move, just stood aside and waited for the result.
After a full half hour passed, Li Hao finally moved and replied with a serious face: "Please rest assured, chief, our guerrillas will take over this mission and we will ensure it is completed!"
"You have no joke!" the chief of staff asked, staring at Li Hao.
"I dare to issue a military order!" Li Hao replied bravely!
"Okay, that's what I want from you!" A rare smile appeared on the chief of staff's serious face.
Then he replied: "Just in case, we will transfer a platoon of the new recruit company and the guard company of the military division to the edge of Lingqiu to set up defenses. If an accident occurs, let them go!"
"However, I believe that you, boy, will definitely do what you say and complete the mission successfully!"
"We have all gone through the Long March. There are so many Japanese and puppet troops in Lingqiu County who can't do anything to you, Li Hao. I believe this mopping up force can't do anything to you either!"
