"Commander, do you want to ask Comrade Li Hao how he plans to fight this battle!" the chief of staff asked with excitement on his face.
"Although the guerrillas issued a military order in front of me, the disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves is too great. They have never fought a big battle and lack experience. I still don't feel reassured!"
The commander was silent for half a minute and then replied: "Don't ask!"
"The general will not accept his fate. Asking him these things now will not only disrupt his battle ideas, but may also make him timid and worried when fighting. That is not good!"
"Since we have chosen to trust him, then let him do it, and do not trust those who employ him, and do not trust those who doubt him!"
The chief of staff knew this very well. He was just worried because he was a little worried.
Immediately replied: "Then don't ask, just inform them of the latest enemy situation!"
"According to the latest information forwarded by the military region about the disappearance, the Japanese and puppet troops passing through Lingqiu were ordered to leave early in the morning and enter Lingqiu in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. I will immediately inform him of the news and let him prepare!"
The information reported by the guerrilla headquarters and military divisions was placed in front of the three people.
The general policy of how to complete the blocking mission has been set, and the next step is how to fight it in detail.
Liu Wenqiang and Hong Linfeng both looked at Li Hao, waiting for him to give orders!
"The army is divided into two!" Li Hao did not keep his two partners waiting for too long.
"The instructor will stay at the headquarters, the second platoon, the recruit platoon, the cavalry platoon, and the health team will stay behind. They will all be under your command, instructor, to protect the safety of our guerrilla station!"
"This mopping up force passing through Lingqiu is not the Lingqiu garrison. I'm worried that after our main force is used up, the little Japs in Lingqiu City will be unable to bear it and come to retaliate against us!"
"If this happens, instructor, you must remember not to fight them head-on. Use our existing fortifications and favorable terrain at the station to resist them at all levels, hold them back, and consume them."
"If the station is lost, it will be lost. Just keep the seriously wounded in the secret camp and protect our soldiers!"
"Let's take the prisoners and set off tomorrow night. According to the original plan, we will dig trenches along the highway and build blocking positions!"
"Lao Hong and I will take the main platoons 1, 3 and 4, the guard platoon, the reconnaissance platoon, the firepower platoon, and the artillery platoon. We will set off tonight, bringing enough dry food and ammunition, and try to reach the edge of Lingqiu before dawn tomorrow.
Lie low and wait for the Japanese and puppet troops to come over! If possible, give these Japanese and puppet troops a heads-up first!"
On the road to Lingqiu, a group of Japanese and puppet troops slowly appeared at the end of the road.
A young soldier from a combat unit, with a rifle in his hand and a machine gun on his shoulder, spread out in a battle formation and advanced cautiously along the road.
There were more than thirty puppet soldiers following them, and they also had rifles in their hands. They followed the example of the Japanese and looked very alert on the surface.
But if you observe carefully, you will find that each of these puppet soldiers has a listless and tired expression on their faces.
Continuous marching is very common for well-trained Japanese soldiers, but poorly trained puppet soldiers do not have such good physical strength.
Along the way, everyone was out of breath and didn't have the energy to be more vigilant.
"Captain, give me a platoon and a light machine gun squad from the fire platoon. I promise to kill the Japanese and puppet forward troops in five minutes and then retreat quickly!" On the hill next to the highway, Hong Linfeng was lying next to Li Hao with an eager look on his face.
Please fight.
"Wait a minute!" Li Hao did not refuse.
"Let's take a look at the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops first. As long as they are far enough away from the forward, we will attack them!"
Hong Linfeng's eyes immediately became expectant and he turned his attention to the road again.
Soon, Hong Linfeng shouted nervously.
"Captain, the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops has appeared, led by the puppet troops!"
A company of puppet soldiers, with rifles on their backs and light machine guns on their shoulders, lined up in a four-way formation, entered their field of vision.
Behind the puppet soldiers were Japanese soldiers, with rifles with bayonets mounted on their backs. At a glance, there were all bayonets emitting cold light, which looked particularly scary.
After two squadrons of nearly 400 Japanese soldiers came over in succession, the heavy machine gun squadron carrying heavy machine guns, the mortar squadron carrying mortar parts, the infantry artillery squad pulled by mules and horses, and the mountain artillery squadron came into their sight one after another.
.
Followed by two more squadrons of Japanese infantry.
The puppet troops walked at the end, following dozens of large vehicles loaded with various supplies, protecting the logistics of the entire mopping up force!
"Hiss...there are so many devils..."
Hong Linfeng exclaimed with his big dumbfounded eyes.
The formation of the Japanese and puppet troops in front of us was too great.
Rifles with bayonets, crooked handles carried on the shoulders, Type 92 heavy machine guns carried by groups of several people, 81mm caliber mortars, and infantry guns with obviously thicker and longer barrels.
Mountain cannon...
Constantly stimulating Hong Linfeng's nerves and confidence.
The expression of excitement that was still eager to try just now is now pale and even a little guilty!
What I was thinking in my heart was no longer how I had eaten the vanguard of the Japanese and puppet troops just now, but how the guerrillas were fighting against this Japanese and puppet army. In the face of this behemoth, how many people could survive in the end would they be torn to pieces by this behemoth?
The whole army was destroyed.
It's one thing to hear and think about the equipment and strength of this Japanese and puppet army, but it's another thing to actually see it with your eyes.
Li Hao should be considered well-informed, but he was still shocked by the momentum and murderous intent brought by this Japanese and puppet army. He was stunned for a long time with his mouth open and did not react.
"Captain, there are so many Japanese and puppet troops, this battle is too scary. If they charge one by one, our guerrillas can't even put a gap in their teeth. Do we still fight their forward troops?" The frightened Hong Linfeng asked guiltily.
road.
Li Hao forced himself to calm down, and then replied: "Fight, of course!"
“If we don’t eat the fat meat that comes to our lips, it will be in vain!”
"However, the entire ambush battle must be compressed into three minutes!"
"The main force of the Japanese and puppet troops is too strong. We must withdraw from the battlefield before reinforcements arrive. Otherwise, when they arrive, we won't be able to leave even if we want to!"
Hong Linfeng slowly calmed down: "There is no problem in ending the battle in three minutes, but the equipment and ammunition of the Japanese and puppet forward troops will not be captured!"
"Then no!" Li Hao replied calmly.
"The guerrillas are not short of guns or ammunition for the time being. There is no need to sacrifice the lives of soldiers for those weapons and ammunition!"
"Now we have only one mission, kill more Japanese and puppet troops, slow down their march, and complete the tasks assigned to us by the military division. Everything else is unimportant and don't worry about it!"
"Lao Hong, go and arrange for the two light machine gun squads from the first platoon and the two fire platoons to join together. You command, kill the Japanese forward troops, and retreat as soon as they hit. Don't waste a second longer!"
"I will continue to stay here and see how these Japanese and puppet troops react."
"A well-equipped gun does not mean a combat effectiveness. Only by fighting can I more accurately judge their true combat effectiveness."
"They won't be able to enter Lingqiu before tonight. After confirming their combat effectiveness, we will find an opportunity to act in advance tonight and attack them at night so that they can't figure out who we are!"
