Hong Linfeng was very anxious. The artillery platoon had moved three artillery positions in a row. There was no movement at the Japanese and puppet troops' garrison, but they continued to use mortars to counterattack.
"Captain, the Japanese have no intention of sending troops at all. Do you think they have seen through our plan and have no intention of sending troops?
"It's okay if we don't send troops. We'll bomb them all night tonight!"
Li Hao answered decisively, without even turning his head, and continued to stare at the Japanese and puppet army station with his binoculars.
"Then our trip tonight is not in vain?" Hong Linfeng was anxious.
For a militant, there is nothing more anxious than being unable to fight when he sees the enemy.
Li Hao answered confidently: "How could it be that this trip was in vain? Didn't you see the Japanese and puppet army garrison just now?"
"The nine rounds of artillery shells we fired each time killed and injured many Japanese and puppet troops, especially the first sudden artillery attack!"
"Because the Japanese and puppet troops were unprepared, the result was the greatest!"
"I couldn't bear it the next few times. After all, the power of the 81mm caliber mortar is there. When a shell hits it, all the Japanese and puppet troops within a radius of five meters will be killed or injured!"
"At this rate of killing enemies, we can casually kill two hundred Japanese and puppet troops in one night, or even more!"
"As for our guerrillas, apart from using up some artillery shells, there are no casualties, so why not!"
Hong Linfeng still looked very unwilling: "No matter what, our infantry platoons haven't won any battles, so our trip was in vain!"
"No!" Li Hao replied seriously.
"Our current rapid artillery attack poses a great threat to them. The Japanese cannot remain indifferent to being bombed. They will definitely find a way to counterattack. Just wait!"
Suddenly, a figure rushed over. It was Dong Xulin, the reconnaissance platoon leader.
"Captain, someone has come out from the Japs station!"
"Get ready to fight!" Hong Linfeng, who couldn't wait any longer, ordered subconsciously.
Dong Xulin quickly explained: "But not many people came out. There were only a dozen or so Japs in total. They were so sneaky that they didn't look like they came to attack our artillery platoon!"
Hong Linfeng's newly excited fighting spirit suddenly disappeared. Like a defeated rooster, he lowered his head and replied: "There are only a dozen or so Japanese, and they are not even enough to fill the gap between our teeth."
After hesitating for a few seconds, he continued: "But no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat. Captain, I will lead people to kill them now!"
"It doesn't matter what they came out to do or what conspiracy they have, as long as they are devils, we will kill them!"
"Quick fight and quick decision!" Li Hao nodded in agreement.
Soon, a series of gunfire sounded not far away. It started very suddenly and ended very quickly.
Not long after the gunfire ended, Hong Linfeng rushed over with excitement, and there was no expression of depression on his face because there were too few enemies.
When he saw Li Hao, he shouted excitedly: "Captain, you can't guess what we captured. It's so surprising that only a dozen or so Japanese soldiers are equipped with a radio station!"
"Radio station~" Li Hao suddenly woke up.
With a look of realization on his face, he shouted: "I understand, these Japs are artillery observers. They inform the artillerymen of the specific location of our artillery platoon, and then fire to kill us before we move!"
"Now that these Japanese are killed by us, it is equivalent to knocking out the eyes of the Japanese artillerymen. God is really helping me. Even God is helping us!"
"Also, let the artillery platoon continue to move the artillery positions and fire, don't always rely on saving artillery shells... After the fight is over, we will snatch it from the Japs. The Japs in the station have become anxious, and even the observers have come out. As long as we continue to fight
, they have no other solution but to attack!”
At the Japanese and puppet army station, Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe did not wait for the confirmation telegram from the artillery observer, but he did wait for a burst of gunfire.
His face changed and he shouted: "Oh no, I forgot that there are Eighth Route Army lurking troops around the station!"
"There are only about a dozen observers. As long as the target is exposed, there will be no chance to counterattack. They will be killed directly by the Eighth Route Army!"
"The gunfire must have been caused by the Eighth Route Army's attack on our observation post."
"Boom boom boom..."
Three explosions proved Commander Watanabe's judgment.
If the artillery observer had not been killed, he would have definitely sent a telegram to himself by now instead of having no news at all.
The vice-captain was the most anxious and asked immediately.
"Sir, what should we do next?"
"With the artillery observers gone, we are completely helpless in the face of the Eighth Route Artillery's constantly changing artillery positions!"
After hesitating for a few seconds, he decided to bring up the old matter again: "How about we send troops to kill him!"
"Even if the Eighth Route Army sets up pocket formations outside the station, we are not afraid!"
"They only have that few troops. As long as we kill enough troops, not only will they not be able to ambush us, they may also be counterattacked by us. If we are lucky, it is not impossible to kill them!"
One word awakens the dreamer.
Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe paid too much attention to his opponents from the beginning.
In this way, although it is not easy to make the mistake of underestimating the enemy, it is also easy to ignore the opponent's weaknesses.
The deputy captain revealed the weaknesses of the surrounding Eighth Route Army in one sentence.
Although they are very cunning and do not follow common sense in battle, making them difficult to guard against, and they have powerful firepower, they also have a fatal flaw: they have too few troops.
As long as you make good use of this shortcoming, not only will you not be afraid of them, but you will also be able to suppress them on the battlefield.
Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe's frown instantly relaxed and he ordered decisively.
"Order the troops to prepare for counterattack!"
"You make arrangements. There will be three lines of counterattack troops, and the finished products will be distributed in a glyph shape and fight out of the military camp together."
"Each counterattack force includes a reinforced team of the Imperial Army and two companies of the Imperial Alliance Army."
"The Imperial Association Army is attacking from the outside. The Imperial Army is responsible for providing fire cover. The three counterattack forces are one hundred meters apart from each other. No matter which counterattack force finds their artillery unit or is attacked by the Eighth Route Army, the other two counterattack forces will immediately outflank them.
!”
"Attack from both inside and outside to kill those cunning foxes!"
The deputy captain suggested: "Sir, the strength of the imperial army is too small!"
"The Imperial Alliance Army's combat effectiveness is limited, so they can defend, but attacking is too difficult for them!"
"Not only a lot, but a lot more!" Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe replied with a sneer on his lips.
"As for the Imperial Alliance Army, I have no intention of counting on how well they will fight in the counterattack or how many Eighth Route Army troops they will kill."
"I only ask them to take a bullet from the imperial army after being attacked and buy some time so that the imperial army can quickly form a battle formation and be ready for battle!"
The vice-captain also had a look of realization on his face.
"I understand: Let the Imperial Army stand around the Imperial Army. Once a battle breaks out, they can reduce the Imperial Army's casualties. They can also delay the Eighth Route Army and buy time for the Imperial Army to counterattack!"
"In this case, even if our attacking troops enter the Eighth Route Army's pocket formation, the Imperial Army will be able to quickly complete the assembly with ease, and then launch a counterattack against the Eighth Route Army that ambushed them!"
"Yoshi, that's what you mean!" Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe showed a very satisfied smile on his face.
