At the Hongquan Village Independent Battalion Headquarters, instructor Wang Hong had a serious face and his eyes were fixed on the map on the table from beginning to end.
If you look carefully, you will find that he has drawn a circle on all the locations where the four main companies of the Independent Battalion are located.
"Instructor, I'm back!" He Wenlin, the director of the intelligence department, rushed in with excitement.
"How is the situation?" Wang Hong asked immediately.
"It's completely under our control!" He Wenlin replied confidently.
"Whether it's the agents who are following several district teams and guerrillas, the agents who continue to lurk in the base area have also discovered many people!"
"When the main force was mobilized, many spies were exposed, including several of our own people."
"Obviously, I have informed the guerrillas to arrest them all, and we will screen them one by one after the operation is over!"
"The important targets have not been moved for the time being, but we have arranged for people to keep an eye on them. As long as you give the order, instructor, we can close the net immediately!"
Wang Hong couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
After receiving Li Hao's order to kill them all, he was most worried about these spies.
It is impossible for the four ambush battles to start at the same time. Once the first ambush battle starts and the agents leak the news that the main force of the independent battalion is still there, accidents will definitely occur in the remaining three ambush battles, and tonight's operation will be abandoned halfway.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he continued to ask: "Are the four main companies ready?"
"Everything is ready. Four main companies and four pocket formations are all placed on the only path for the Japanese offensive troops. As long as their target is the four main companies' stations, they will not be able to escape!"
"Report……"
The radio operator who stayed behind at the battalion headquarters rushed directly to Wang Hong.
"Instructor, the latest information from Lingqiu County: the Japs have left the city. The four reinforcement teams are divided into four groups and are heading towards the four main company bases. The march is very fast and the goal is very clear!"
Wang Hong's eyes also became hot: "Well done, now it seems that the battalion commander's judgment is correct!"
"Order the troops to act in accordance with the original combat plan, and the guard company, as a reserve team of the entire battalion, is on standby at any time!"
"At ten o'clock in the evening, the Intelligence Department closed the net on time and captured all the enemy's newly exposed agents. Then they seized the time to interrogate, trying to follow the clues to find more agents, and ensure that the news that the main force was still in the base before dawn did not reach Lingqiu City.
!”
At the gathering place for reconnaissance platoons and commandos along the highway, Chen Wei pointed to the sketches he drew along the way.
"Battal Commander, this is our latest investigation result!"
"The Japanese and puppet troops leaving the city occupied a total of ten hilltop highlands. The furthest distance from each other was more than three kilometers, and the closest distance was only two kilometers. They were scattered along this 30-kilometer long road!"
"In addition to the mountain highlands, there are also three Japanese and puppet army patrol teams on the highway, one every ten kilometers, patrolling along the highway!"
"I judge that this is a mobile force arranged by the Japanese. No matter which hilltop is attacked, they can arrive within an hour. The layout of the entire defense line is seamless without any loopholes!"
Li Hao spoke and replied with confidence: "There are no loopholes. That's for the Japanese reinforcements on the road!"
"And our combat plan has changed. We have given up sneak attacks on their reinforcements and directly attacked the Japanese and puppet defense forces along the line!"
"Watanabe sent them out, thinking that the reorganized Imperial Army and a dozen Japanese soldiers would be able to rely on the high ground on the mountain to block our attack. We will break his dream tonight!"
"We will start fighting from the Japanese and puppet troops farthest from the county seat, and try to capture a hilltop in two hours!"
On the hilltop defended by the 9th Company of the 3rd Battalion of the Imperial Association Army, five bonfires illuminated the hilltop brightly.
More than a hundred puppet troops were panting and digging trenches under the guidance of the Japanese, and a dozen Japanese puppet troops were setting up heavy machine guns and mortars behind them.
The purpose of the Japanese and puppet troops was very clear. They formed a circular position with heavy machine guns and mortars to defend the top of the hill.
However, at this moment, the trench under their feet was dug less than half a meter deep, and they could not even hide a person, let alone rely on the trench to fight.
The commander of the ninth company and the Japanese military commander were very anxious, fearing that the independent battalion would come and kill them at this time.
In order for everyone to have a peaceful sleep in the middle of the night and to defend the position, even though it was late at night, we still ordered the troops to continue repairing the fortifications with torches!
"Bang bang bang..."
Several gunshots broke the tranquility of the night.
Fearing that something would happen, the Ninth Company Commander's face turned pale at that moment.
When he saw two Japanese soldiers holding rifles falling down without even a scream, he immediately shouted: "Everyone get down, take cover, and prepare for battle!"
"The heavy machine gun counterattacked immediately and shot at the place where the gunshot was fired!"
The Jaap Sergeant's reaction speed was faster, and he lay on the ground and shouted subconsciously.
"Shoot, cover with machine guns, and kill the enemies who sneak up on us!"
Watanabe's months of consolidation were not in vain. The more than a hundred puppet troops did not fall into chaos when attacked as before.
In less than three seconds, they all lay down in the unfinished trench. Then they held the rifles on their shoulders in their hands and fired at the place where the gunshot had been fired.
"Da da da... bang bang..."
The heavy machine gun also fired, and the bullets fell like meteors under the darkness of night, flying halfway up the mountain in a string!
"Da da da……"
Four tongues of fire suddenly shot out from the bushes on the mountainside, at least thirty meters away from the location where the gunshot was fired.
The machine gun fire was particularly accurate. Two machine guns hit heavy machine guns, and two machine guns hit the Japanese lying in the trench.
They were caught off guard and attacked. The heavy machine gun that was shouting happily on the top of the mountain instantly misfired. The two Japs and three puppet soldiers who were manipulating the machine gun were beaten into pieces without even having time to react!
"The Eighth Route Army is over there, counterattack immediately! Keep firing the machine guns!" the company commander shouted.
A look of solemnity flashed across the sergeant's face, and he pointed at the subordinates around him and ordered: "Come on, you guys, take over the heavy machine guns immediately. There are at least four light machine guns on the eighth route. The firepower is fierce. The heavy machine gun firepower must not be interrupted!"
"The grenade launcher also fires, destroying the machine gun fire points exposed on all eight routes!"
As soon as the order came out of the sergeant's mouth, before his men moved, the gunfire stopped halfway up the mountain, as if nothing happened just now.
However, the Japanese still carried out their orders conscientiously.
The two Japanese soldiers rushed towards the heavy machine gun, one fired and the other fed ammunition. Amidst the intensive gunfire, the bullets flew towards the mountainside as if they were costless.
The three grenade launchers also started firing. Under the command of the Japanese grenade launcher, the grenades hit the mountainside in groups of three.
"Bang bang..."
The crisp sound of rifle fire caused the heavy machine gun to misfire again.
Both Japs were shot in the chest and fell to the ground with a groan.
"The Eighth Route Army is over there, shoot immediately!" the ninth company commander shouted anxiously.
By now more than ten Japanese and subordinates had been killed since the shooting started, but the Eighth Route Army on the mountainside seemed to have suffered no casualties.
What's more important is that among the dozen or so people killed, more than half were Japanese.
The company commander vaguely guessed the independent battalion's plan, and first attacked the Japanese, and then attacked himself.
As a die-hard traitor, what he was most worried about was that the Japanese would be killed first.
The Japanese are alive, and as long as they help him suppress his subordinates, the entire Ninth Company will listen to him.
Once all the Japanese are dead, it is unknown whether he can still command the mobile troops.
