The guerrillas were directly upgraded to the main force, and they were also independent companies directly under the military division. No one, including Li Hao, expected that the surprise would come so suddenly.
"Captain... no, company commander, from now on we are an independent company and an organized force!" Hong Linfeng was the happiest.
Leaving the main force, now returning to the main force.
In less than half a year, he was directly promoted from a squad leader to the deputy company commander of the main force. He was also the deputy company commander of an independent company directly under the military division. His rank was half a level higher than that of an ordinary infantry company.
This speed of promotion can definitely be called a miracle.
Of course, all of this was brought to him by Li Hao in front of him. Without him, he might have been sacrificed long ago.
Thinking of this, Hong Linfeng looked at Li Hao with gratitude.
Li Hao said with a smile on his face: "This is indeed gratifying and good news!"
"The guerrillas were directly reorganized into an independent company directly under the military division, and directly upgraded to the main force. Not only was the military division's recognition of our independent company's results last night, it was also the military division's trust in us!"
"So, our independent company must live up to this trust, plan the next step, and successfully complete the mission!"
"I order: The Independent Company will disguise itself tonight, not only to celebrate our victory last night, but also to celebrate the promotion of our guerrillas to the main force and change the Independent Company!"
At the military division headquarters, the chief of staff only waited less than an hour for a call back from the guerrillas.
After reading the battle report, the chief of staff was stunned again.
Without saying a word, he took out a pen and paper and started to conduct live deductions. After ten minutes, he had to admit: "Commander, your judgment is correct. The contents of the guerrilla telegram are true!"
"I have rehearsed last night's battle. According to the tactics used by Li Hao and others, there is no problem in killing those Japanese and puppet troops!"
"This Li Hao is so sophisticated that you can't even tell that he is only eighteen years old!"
The commander replied with a serious face: "Even though he is only eighteen years old, he is young, but he has fought in many battles!"
"Don't forget, he joined the Red Army when he was fourteen years old. Although he did not directly participate in the battle, he must have learned a lot by following the troops!"
"Later, I joined the combat force. Although I have been serving as a squad and platoon leader at the grassroots level, I have fought in many battles!"
"At such a young age, to be able to escape death and create miracles again and again on the battlefield is impossible without real ability!"
After saying that, the commander turned his attention to the huge map in front of him and continued.
"Now that it has been confirmed that the guerrillas' results are true, we don't have to worry about the Japanese and puppet troops passing through Lingqiu. What the headquarters needs to do is to provide Comrade Li Hao with intelligence support in a timely manner so that they can continue to win the war!"
At the temporary assembly area of the Independent Company, the entire station was filled with a strong smell of meat.
Li Hao, who had eaten dry food for several days, couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
After eating three white flour buns and a large bowl of pork stew, Li Hao burped and was satisfied to return to the company headquarters with only one tent.
"Tick-tick...tick-tock..."
As soon as I walked in, the sound of the radio station sending and receiving telegrams reached my ears.
"Company Commander, urgent message from the military division: Japanese and puppet troops are escorting a large amount of ammunition and artillery towards Lingqiu. They set off this morning and are expected to enter Lingqiu territory tomorrow morning. The headquarters asked us to prepare for the battle!"
Li Hao received the telegram and just glanced at it, his face was enveloped in excitement.
"Haha, this is like fat meat delivered to your door. Guard, immediately notify Lao Hong and all the platoon leaders to come to the company headquarters. Hurry, the Japanese are bringing us a big meal!"
Hong Linfeng rushed into the tent and asked hurriedly: "Company commander, what kind of feast is this?"
"The telegram is here, read it yourself!" Li Hao said, handing over the telegram in his hand.
After reading the telegram, Hong Linfeng was not as excited and expectant as he was at first, but instead reminded with a worried look on his face.
"Company Commander, this is not a feast, it's just a piece of hard bone!"
"A baggage squadron, an infantry reinforcement squad, a mountain artillery squadron, plus a battalion of puppet troops, with a total strength of nearly 600 people, it doesn't look like a big meal to me!"
Li Hao replied with a serious face: "There are too many escort troops, but they escort more ammunition, baggage and artillery!"
"It was clearly written in the telegram that these devils were transporting all ammunition. There were twenty large trucks. Even if there were only ten large trucks loaded with bullets, that would still be hundreds of thousands of rounds."
"There are also artillery shells, which are treasures that are usually difficult to capture. Although we have some reserves, every time we use one, we lose one. If we can capture all the artillery shells sent by the Japanese army, we will have three mortars in our hands.
Even if the artillery fires powerfully on the battlefield, those shells are enough for us to fight several big battles!"
"There are also six mountain cannons from the Guizi Mountain Artillery Squadron!"
"Isn't Yuan Qingfeng still heartbroken about the artillery piece that we couldn't take away last night and was blown to pieces?"
"Now the little devil has sent artillery to us again. This time he will bring back two of them!"
"We brought back so many artillery shells last night that they can't pile them up to rust. Only with mountain artillery can they be effective in fighting the Japanese!"
Hong Linfeng's eyes slowly became hot.
The worry on his face disappeared, and he answered with bright eyes: "We must kill this Japanese and puppet army!"
"Kill them, and the ammunition brought by the Japanese and puppet troops will be ours!"
"Company commander, how do you plan to fight?"
Li Hao answered confidently: "Since it is a big meal, we must eat it slowly!"
"Weren't you just worried that the Japanese and puppet troops escorted too many troops, and this big meal might be a hard bone? Since it is a hard bone, we can't eat it in one bite!"
“Otherwise, you won’t be able to swallow it all in one gulp, and you’ll be stuck!”
"So I plan to take care of them slowly, just like boiling a frog in warm water!"
"After almost all of their escort troops are killed, then devour them all in one bite!"
For nearly 600 days, the puppet troops escorted twenty carts of ammunition and six mountain cannons and advanced rapidly along the highway.
One company of puppet troops is in the front, one company of puppet troops is in the rear, and other troops are escorted by carts and artillery in a standard marching column.
Captain Sato is the captain of the baggage squadron and the commander of this escort operation.
He has led his men to deliver ammunition and supplies to the front line more than once, and has rich escort experience.
At dawn the next day, he urged the troops to get up and go on their way.
"Sato-kun, why are you in such a hurry! We are about to enter the territory of Lingqiu. We will definitely make it to Lingqiu County tonight. I think you seem to be more anxious than yesterday!" the captain of the mountain artillery squadron asked in confusion.
Captain Sato analyzed with a serious face: "According to reports from superiors, there are many Eighth Route Army troops operating in Lingqiu. The baggage and artillery carried by the Watanabe Brigade were destroyed by those Eighth Route Army troops. We will definitely be targeted by them after we pass there!"
"In order to prevent accidents, we must try to save time. The sooner we get to Lingqiu County, the safer we will be!"
"Also, everyone must be more vigilant during today's march, and all the artillery in your hands must be equipped with weapons!"
"I have a feeling that our march today will not be too peaceful!"
