"Battal Commander, the Japanese and puppet troops have left Lingqiu City!" Chen Wei shouted from afar.
"More than two thousand puppet troops, more than two hundred Japanese, and more than two thousand five hundred Japanese puppet troops left Lingqiu City early this morning and came to kill us!"
The expression on Li Hao's face became increasingly ugly.
He frowned and said to himself: "Have we been exposed? Watanabe wants to kill us before the reinforcements cross the border!"
Chen Wei shook his head and replied: "Probably not!"
"Ten kilometers out of the city, these Japanese and puppet troops began to divide their forces!"
"A dozen Japanese soldiers and a team of more than 150 puppet troops rushed up to the high hills on both sides of the road, then dug trenches on the highlands, built fortifications, and assumed a defensive posture!"
"Close investigation revealed that although the Japanese and puppet troops were divided into small groups, with a total strength of no more than 200 people, their equipment was very good. Each unit was equipped with a mortar, a heavy machine gun, and three crooked handles.
Son, three grenade launchers!"
"When I came over, they had divided their forces to occupy three highlands. Each highland was about three kilometers apart. You can see each other clearly with a telescope!"
Xiao Yuan analyzed thoughtfully: "Battalion Commander, I guess these Japanese and puppet troops are not here to kill us!"
"The troops were divided to occupy all the commanding heights along the highway and hold them, obviously to control the entire highway."
"If we want to continue sneak attacks on the Japanese reinforcements on the road, we will definitely not be able to escape the eyes of these Japanese and puppet troops. At that time, our sneak attack troops will be counterattacked by the Japanese reinforcements and these defensive forces at the same time. We will be attacked from both sides and will be in a desperate situation.
!”
Li Hao affirmed: "Watanabe is so calculating!"
"After the puppet army has been reorganized and expanded, its combat effectiveness will definitely be different from what it used to be. In addition, each company has ten or twenty Japanese soldiers watching over them. If they rely on the high ground to fight defensive battles, their combat effectiveness will be even higher by 10%!"
"Our independent battalion has limited troops and cannot afford losses. Even if all the main forces are here, we dare not risk our troops to sneak attack the Japanese on the road and be attacked from both sides!"
"At this time, he wants to protect the reinforcements and arrive at Lingqiu safely without wasting any soldiers!"
Chen Wei also reacted: "According to the intelligence, Japanese reinforcements will pass through the road in front of us at dawn tomorrow. The Japanese and puppet troops in Lingqiu City are dispatched now, and they can completely control this road before dark!"
"Relying on the high ground to defend for one night, we can protect the reinforcements from passing the highway at dawn tomorrow!"
"If we can't make a sneak attack on this section of the road, we can only watch them reach Lingqiu safely."
Li Hao fell into deep thought with a sullen face, but it didn't last long. His eyes became hot, and then he made a decision.
"The Japanese reinforcements are the enemy, and the Japanese and puppet troops defending the mountain highlands are also enemies. No matter who they attack, it will consume Watanabe's military power. We can also achieve the role of training troops. So I decided to give up the sneak attack on the Japanese reinforcements and directly attack
The Japanese and puppet troops defending the mountain highlands!"
"Watanabe asked them to come out and control the high ground to reduce the casualties of the Japanese. It must also be to test the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army to see the effect of rectifying the puppet army for more than a month!"
"Since he believes that the reorganized Imperial Army can withstand our attack by clinging to the high ground, then we will break his dream."
"One defensive force lasts nearly 200 days of puppet troops, and four defensive troops equals more than 700 days of puppet troops. If we kill them all in one night, the blow to Watanabe will be no worse than the elimination of one or two hundred little Japs!"
Just as he finished speaking, communications platoon leader Zhou Liang rushed over again.
"Batalion Commander, instructor, urgent call!"
"This is the news coming from Lingqiu City. After more than two thousand days of puppet troops being dispatched, Watanabe has assembled four more reinforcement teams. These Japs are on standby at their respective stations for unknown purposes!"
"God is really helping me!" Li Hao smiled instead of getting angry, shouting with excitement on his face.
"There is no doubt that Watanabe plans to use these four reinforced teams to attack our base!"
"Our civet cat's plan to exchange for the prince was successful, Watanabe was fooled!"
"He must have thought that the main force of our independent battalion was exhausted and the base area was now empty of troops. He dispatched four reinforced teams to attack our base area and directly destroyed the four main company stations!"
"Why is it the headquarters of the four companies and not our battalion headquarters?" Xiao Yuan frowned and asked with doubt.
Li Hao explained: "The county seat is dozens of kilometers away from the camp headquarters. By the time he reaches Hongquan Village, the camp headquarters will have already moved to the mountains!"
"Instead of going all out to get nothing, it's better to choose the nearest and the farthest and directly attack the four main company stations on the edge of the base area!"
"Although the troops have been dispatched, the garrison is still there. There must be a lot of supplies, equipment and ammunition stored there. Plus the remaining troops and guerrillas, if the Japanese can kill them all, it will be a big gain!"
Xiao Yuan suddenly realized and shouted: "It's true!"
"Watanabe would have never imagined that not only did our four main companies not leave, but we were still setting up nets at our respective stations, waiting for them to throw themselves into the trap and die!"
Li Hao nodded, and then ordered with a serious face: "Zhou Liang, send a telegram back to the instructor immediately!"
"The target of the four reinforced squads of the Japanese army is the base area. All troops in the base area are ordered to fight secretly. Let the little devils enter the base area. They must be wiped out and wiped out in one fell swoop!"
"This is the fat meat that Watanabe put in our mouths. If we don't eat it, we won't eat it for free!"
"With four reinforced squads and a few hundred days of puppet troops, even if the reinforcements that Watanabe has been waiting for safely enter Lingqiu City, I will not let him have enough strength to sweep us away!"
At eight o'clock in the evening, the Japanese garrison headquarters in Lingqiu City showed no intention of becoming quiet.
The lights were brightly lit, and more than a dozen staff officers came and went, making it very lively.
"Sir, the latest information from the special agent team is that as soon as it gets dark, the Eighth Route Army divided into five troops and started on their way. The goal is the only way for our reinforcements to come to Lingqiu. According to their marching speed, they can reach their destination in the early morning!" Tian
Chengzhi reported with a serious look on his face
Watanabe asked with a smile on his face: "Have there been any changes in their so-called base area?"
"Yes..." Tian Chengzhi replied immediately.
"Since the main force left the station, the Eighth Route Army's guerrillas dispersed in various villages began to intensify patrols. When they encountered strangers, they would arrest them first. The humble special agent team had already lost nearly twenty people, or more than a dozen people.
My whereabouts are unknown!"
The smile on Watanabe's face grew wider, and he immediately replied: "This time your special agent team has made great achievements. I will replenish the losses for you. As for the current actions of the independent battalion, it is obvious that the drunkard's intention is not to drink!
"
"By strengthening the patrol and vigilance of the guerrillas, we can prevent the news that the main force is not at the station from being leaked!"
"However, this time their covert action is obviously in vain!"
After saying that, Watanabe turned his attention to the deputy captain next to him: "The attack troops are all ready!"
"Sir, don't worry. The four reinforcement teams have brought enough weapons and ammunition. Their morale is high and they are ready to attack at any time!" the adjutant replied with confidence.
"Tell them that when they enter the Independence Camp base, regardless of anything else, the first goal is to destroy their camp and eliminate their remaining troops. Then they will attack the surrounding guerrillas and eat them!"
"This time I want to make the Independence Camp lose all its water, and even throw away my own nest!"
