The captain was stunned for a long time before he could react. Then he stared at the military division guard company commander and made a decision: "Then I will hand over the Japs forward troops to your guard company!"
"Please rest assured, chief, we promise to kill the Japanese forward troops as soon as possible and then reinforce the main force!" The guard company commander decisively accepted the task.
Seeing the guard company commander leaving in a hurry, the chief of staff hesitated and reminded: "Captain, you really let the guard company deal with the Japs forward!"
"As usual, 80% of the forward troops are reinforced teams, well-equipped and well-trained!"
"The equipment of the guard company is very good, but it has the same shortcoming as us, there are too many recruits!"
"There are more than a hundred people, and most of them are new recruits. Isn't it too risky to face more than 70 well-equipped Japs?"
"That's why I asked them to deal with the Japanese forward troops!" the captain replied.
"If the ambush cannot kill them, the guard company can still block the attack. As long as they are not allowed to come back and affect the main force's operations. Even if the guard company has many recruits, with such good equipment, it can block the Japanese attack by a reinforced team for more than half an hour.
There must be no problem!”
As soon as the guard company commander returned to the station with his mission, three platoon commanders surrounded him with their eyes shining brightly.
"Company Commander, have you received the mission?"
"Ambush the Japanese forward troops... After the main force starts, the Japanese forward troops will definitely come back for reinforcements. Our task is to eat them and then reinforce the main force!"
The smiles on the faces of the three platoon leaders disappeared.
After the last ambush of the Japanese army failed halfway, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the three front-line brigades, the military division directly removed two platoons from the guard company!
The guard company is now also a full infantry company, but the real foundation is only one guard company with three platoons, and the others are temporary recruits.
He has gone through recruit training, but has never been on the battlefield.
Let such a unit directly face a well-equipped reinforced infantry squad of the Japanese army, and it will be a head-on confrontation. The three platoon leaders have no confidence in their hearts.
The company commander saw their concerns at a glance and replied confidently: "Do you still remember our action to protect the Chief of Staff when he went to Lingqiu to fight against the Japanese guerrillas?"
"Now more than a month has passed, and the Lingqiu Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force has been expanded into an independent battalion directly under the military division!"
The platoon leader immediately replied: "Of course I remember!"
"At that time, I was still the squad leader of the third platoon, carrying an old sleeve with smooth rifling. I went to the Lingqiu Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army, and directly replaced the shotgun with a cannon, and turned it into a 38-gauge, and the bullets were also given to us.
It’s been replenished to sixty rounds, and there are still two grenades!”
"Without the equipment that the guerrillas gave us, it would have been impossible for our third platoon to be left behind and directly expanded into a guard company!"
The other two platoon leaders nodded in agreement.
The company commander replied with satisfaction: "Yes, you all still remember..."
"Our guard company cannot be where we are today without the equipment and ammunition that the Independent Battalion sent us twice in a row!"
"But have you ever thought about a question: How did the Independent Battalion defeat so many little Japs and grab so much equipment that makes us jealous with such a small number of troops?"
The platoon leader shook his head and replied: "I haven't thought about it!"
"I've thought about it, and even asked!" the company commander said.
"When I was stationed at the anti-Japanese guerrilla camp, I had this question in my mind, and then I found their guard squad leader and figured it out!"
"The situation of the guerrillas was even worse than ours at the beginning. Not only were there fewer people, but they were also poorly equipped. However, they were able to completely annihilate the enemy in every battle and seize the weapons and equipment from the enemy to equip themselves. Only then did they have
Independence camp now!”
What did the platoon commander seem to have thought of? He immediately asked: "Company commander, how did they do it?"
"It's very simple!" The company commander didn't hide it.
"In every battle, focus all your firepower on killing the machine gunners and grenade launchers who pose the greatest threat to us first, so that the little devils lose the heavy firepower they rely on, and then attack the little devils and ordinary riflemen!"
"As for the new recruits, they will definitely feel panicked when they go to the battlefield for the first time. They may not be able to hit the target accurately, and they may not even be able to hold the gun steadily. This problem can be easily solved. If you can't hit the gun accurately, just throw the grenade. As long as you have the strength, the grenade will be used.
You can smash it out!"
"When we fought against the Japanese in the past, due to lack of ammunition and poor equipment, we often only fired three shots before launching a charge and fighting the Japanese with bayonets."
"We have many new recruits, and the Japanese have many veterans, and they are well-equipped and good at fighting with bayonets. In the end, even if we win the battle, the troops will suffer heavy casualties."
"The most important thing is that fighting the Japs like this takes a long time. By the time the battle is over, the ammunition carried by the Japs has been almost used up, and there is still time to destroy the excess weapons. In the end, we captured very little!"
"This time, I decided to deal with the Japs forward troops according to the independent battalion's style of play!"
"Four light machine guns select machine gun positions, bring enough ammunition, and one machine gun targets a grenade. Kill the nine little Japs who can control the grenade as soon as possible. After the attack, we will continue to attack the Japs machine gunners.
Being condescending and having a terrain advantage, even one machine gun can take advantage of the enemy!"
"There is only one machine gun left to hit the little Japanese officer, and at the same time kill all the soldiers around him, so that the Japanese lose command!"
"The grenades also participated in the battle and fired grenades at places where there were many Japs!"
"As for ordinary riflemen, pick out thirty soldiers with good arm strength, each carrying three grenades, and spread out and lurk beside the road, so that they are well hidden."
"After the battle starts, use the shortest possible time to throw all ninety grenades at the little devil!"
"In less than half a minute, we were attacked simultaneously by four machine guns, dozens of rifles, three grenade launchers, and ninety grenades. Even if the Japanese forward troops are made of iron, they will be torn apart by us!"
At three o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army received information from intelligence personnel.
In order to prevent the military division headquarters from slipping away from under their noses again, the Japanese military command decisively ordered two groups of raiding troops to deal with it overnight and attack the headquarters.
The little Japanese marched toward the ambush circle smoothly. Although they were harassed and blocked by the Eighth Route Army along the way, they did not stop.
The Japs on the other route were not so lucky. All the roads and bridges along the way were destroyed and their marching speed was very slow.
The distance between the two armies was originally only five kilometers and gradually increased to ten kilometers. By the time the Japanese soldiers from the front walked into the ambush circle, the Japanese soldiers from the other group were still fifteen kilometers away, and they also blocked two battalions of the second group in the middle.
"beat……"
The guard company commander held a 38 cap in his hand and pulled the trigger while giving the order.
The Japanese machine gunner with a machine gun on his shoulder fell down in response.
Four guns with crooked handles were fired immediately, and bullets flew towards the road like a rain of bullets.
The grenadier and machine gunner suffered a devastating blow immediately and fell to the road.
The rifleman reacted the fastest and immediately lay on the ground to fight back.
"The machine gunners are suppressing fire, and the grenade launchers are taking out the fire points on the mountainside!" shouted a Japanese soldier, Captain Cao.
But no one responded to his orders.
When he turned back, the grenadier and machine gunner had all fallen to the ground and made no sound.
Chief Cao's face instantly turned pale. Just as he was about to continue giving orders, thirty grenades with white smoke flew over from the bushes beside the road and hit him from Tianerjian.
The bullets were flying towards him as if they were costless, and there was no way to hide.
