The battle did not go as smoothly as expected. Several companies fought for more than half an hour before they captured less than half of the Japanese positions.
Seeing the battalion commander Li Hao coming over, his face looked very ugly.
Guard company commander Xiao Yuan quickly reported: "Battalion Commander, we did not fight well, and the troops suffered heavy casualties. I request punishment..."
Li Hao suppressed the anger that was boiling out of his heart and replied as calmly as possible: "Don't punish him easily!"
"Tell me clearly, what's going on? After fighting for so long, with the cooperation of twelve heavy machine guns, we didn't even take down more than 200 Japanese artillery and heavy equipment!"
"If you didn't take command well, you would definitely not be able to escape this punishment!"
Although Li Hao did not directly vent the anger in his stomach, Xiao Yuan could still feel his inner dissatisfaction from his words.
He took a deep breath and answered bravely: "Battalion Commander, although the combat effectiveness of these Japs is not very good, they are just like the Japs infantry, they are not afraid of death!"
"Even if you are not equipped with a rifle, you will hide one or two grenades in your hand and hide in the corner, pretending to be dead. When we get close, you will detonate the grenades and die with us!"
"After several rounds of fighting, at least ten soldiers have been killed by the suicide attacks of the little devils!"
"Also, the ammunition carried by the baggage train is still in the hands of the Japanese, and it is right next to the little Japanese. In order to avoid detonating them, we were very worried when we attacked, and we did not even dare to use grenades!"
Li Hao understood, and his brows slowly wrinkled.
The devil has created a problem for himself!
The ammunition carried by the baggage train and the use of grenade attacks to reduce the combat casualties of the independent battalion, I can only choose one of the two.
The best way to reduce troop casualties is to use artillery and grenades.
But the power of their explosions is too great, and it will definitely detonate the ammunition baggage in the hands of the Japanese. In the end, only a handful of the ammunition baggage will fall into your hands.
Two choices, Li Hao made a decision quickly!
"Change your tactics immediately!"
"Order the troops to use grenades and grenades...compared to mortars, they are less powerful, but they are definitely wrong to kill the Japanese!"
"Moreover, the enemy's ammunition and baggage are scattered on the backs of mules and horses. Without concentration, it is impossible to destroy them all at once. Using grenades and grenades can minimize the losses!"
Xiao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and answered with excitement
"I'm going to give the order now!"
"Boom boom..."
Grenades and grenade-specific grenades rained down on the ruins where the Japs were hiding. Coupled with the detonated artillery shells, the remaining Japs on the battlefield were immediately dealt a devastating blow.
When Xiao Yuan returned to Li Hao, there were less than fifty Japs left in the ruins, and they were fighting a trapped beast.
"Battal Commander, we can end the battle in ten minutes at most!" Xiao Yuan reported happily with a smile on his face as the troops attacked smoothly.
"Yes, the battle should be this big! Compared with the ammunition and baggage, the lives of comrades are more important!" Li Hao answered with satisfaction.
"Tell the attacking troops that the equipment carried by the remaining dozens of Japanese soldiers will not be used to prepare medicine. Tell them not to be polite. Use grenade launchers when they need to use grenade launchers. A quick victory!"
"Buzz buzz..."
Just as Xiao Yuan was about to leave, a faint roar came over.
Li Hao had just encountered an aircraft bombing in the morning, losing most of his company's troops.
Now when I hear a familiar voice, I react like a conditioned reflex: "It's a plane, the little Japanese plane is coming!"
Then he shouted with a look of realization: "I understand, the little devils want to kill the artillery and heavy equipment they left in the village, so that our independent battalion will be destroyed together with them!"
"Watanabe is too cunning, knowing that the artillery and baggage trains are definitely no match for us. In order to prevent the heavy equipment and ammunition in their hands from falling into our hands, he directly sent planes to bomb Dongtian Village, which can destroy the weapons and ammunition and make us lose everything.
If you don’t get it, you can hit us hard again, killing two birds with one stone!”
"But there are still their own people in the village! Did their heads explode even with their own people?" Xiao Yuan asked anxiously.
Li Hao snorted coldly and replied: "There is nothing in this world that little devils can't do. In Watanabe's eyes, these people will die sooner or later. Rather than die in our hands, they would be better off being blown up by a plane. This way we can still be together."
They will blow up many people in our independent camp and severely damage our independent camp!"
"What a vicious plot!" Xiao Yuan suddenly realized and shouted.
Then he asked Li Hao with a stern face: "Batalion Commander, what should we do?"
"That's right, retreat. I will immediately order the troops to retreat and wait until the Japanese plane leaves before they come back."
"There are so many weapons and ammunition on the battlefield, and they are scattered. Even if the little devils send out planes, it is impossible to blow them all up!"
Seeing the plane silhouette that had appeared on the edge of the sky, Li Hao shook his head and replied: "It's too late!"
"The Japanese plane rushed over in the blink of an eye, leaving no time for us to retreat!"
"Calm down, everyone, calm down, there must be a way to solve this problem!"
Li Hao forced himself to calm down.
The roar of airplanes that kept ringing in my ears became louder and louder, and the silver-white bright spot on the edge of the sky turned into a silver-white airplane, quickly swooping over here.
"We can only give it a try!" Li Hao gritted his teeth and made a decision!
"Immediately ask the peripheral troops to change into Jaap uniforms and helmets, and then find some Jaap military flags and wave them at the Japs planes in the sky, so that the Japs planes will mistakenly think that we are all our own and have completely occupied the village.
Repulsed the Eighth Route Army attack!"
"Is it possible?" Xiao Yuan asked with doubt on his face.
"Gamble!" Li Hao didn't have much confidence in his heart and answered hesitantly.
"Japanese planes are not equipped with radios yet. Whether to bomb or not bombs depends entirely on the little Jaap pilot's thoughts!"
"The battlefield is changing rapidly. No one dares to say that the little devil in the village will definitely be defeated. There is no possibility of turning defeat into victory!"
"As the saying goes, seeing is believing, hearing is believing. What you see with your own eyes is true."
"If he sees that the village is full of his own people, he might mistakenly think that the situation of the battle has changed and that his own people have turned defeat into victory."
"At this time, even if his mission was to bomb Dongtian Village, he would choose to refuse to carry out the order and not dare to touch the bomb on his own head."
"When he returns to the airport, he realizes that what he saw was all fake, and it will be two hours before he comes back to fight again. By then, we have already evacuated here, and the little devil can blow up as much as he likes, and it has nothing to do with us!"
"I'm going to give the order now!" Xiao Yuan replied immediately.
