Li Hao was interrupted by a sudden report from the tent door.
"Come in!" Li Hao ordered without much thought.
A strange face that was unfamiliar to everyone was brought in by the security guard. He immediately saluted after seeing Li Hao.
"Hello, Battalion Commander Li, I am Peng Yunfeng, the commander of the first battalion of the second battalion of the division. I have been ordered to lead the team to reinforce the independent battalion. Please ask Battalion Commander Li to issue combat orders!"
"Cao Cao is really here. Commander Peng, you came just in time!" Li Hao replied with a smile.
"We happened to be discussing how to deal with the Japanese. Since you are here, let's discuss it together. As for the mission, the Japanese and puppet troops are strong, so you will definitely be indispensable!"
After speaking, Li Hao returned to the topic: "The decisive battle with the Japanese has been decided. Everyone can have opinions, but they must be reserved. On the battlefield, whoever does not follow orders and fight well will be dismissed from his post!"
"However, even if we decide to fight decisively, we won't be able to fight right away!"
"My idea is to assemble all the main forces of the independent battalion and reinforcements by tomorrow night at the latest to attack the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in the base area and fight a tough battle!"
"Before that, what we need to do is to continue to consume the strength of the Japanese and puppet troops, weaken their will to fight, sow discord between the Japanese and puppet troops, and reduce the pressure of our final decisive battle!"
Hong Linfeng immediately called for battle and said: "Battalion Commander, leave the task of attacking the Japanese and puppet troops at night to me tonight!"
"I only need two artillery squads and a reconnaissance platoon directly under the battalion headquarters to ensure that the Japanese and puppet troops have a sleepless night, and then kill more than a hundred of them."
Peng Yunfeng, who was standing aside and had never been able to interrupt, said anxiously: "Captain Li!"
"It has been more than two days since we entered the Independence Camp base. We eat and drink your food every day, and we are given a large amount of ammunition, but we have not made any achievements. I feel a little embarrassed myself."
"So I want to take over this mission on behalf of the more than 500 soldiers of the reinforcements. By the way, we can also defeat the Japanese and make meritorious deeds!"
Li Hao replied decisively: "Don't worry, everyone, everyone here will participate in tonight's night battle!"
"Aren't we going to have a decisive battle with the little devil tomorrow? In order to win this decisive battle, I decided to give the little devil a preview tonight!"
Hong Linfeng disagreed, and a look of worry quickly flashed across his face: "Preview? Isn't this just a warning?"
"What I want is to alert the enemy!" Li Hao once again said something shocking.
After he finished speaking, a sly sneer flashed across his lips.
Then he began to issue orders without explanation: "Lao Hong, you act first, take two companies of artillery squads, plus the reconnaissance platoon and commando team directly under the battalion headquarters to set off now, and use our old method to attack the Japanese and puppet troops at night!"
"I don't ask you to kill many people, but you must not let them rest or sleep!"
"The other troops are going to sleep now. It's eight o'clock in the evening. We have five hours of rest and will set off on time at one o'clock in the morning. We will give Watanabe a rehearsal for the decisive battle and kill hundreds of them by the way!"
Where the Japanese and puppet troops were stationed, the best house in the middle of the village was occupied by Watanabe.
"Boom boom boom..."
"Baga, where did the explosion happen?"
Watanabe was still lying in bed when a sudden explosion at the station woke him up. He got up from the bed and shouted towards the door.
"哐..."
The door was quickly pushed open, and then the staff officer on duty rushed in with a nervous look on his face.
"Sir, it's a shelling!"
"The station was attacked by four mortars, and the enemy mortar position was 1,500 meters away!"
"Bage Ya Road, what are the security posts for? Haven't our security lines been deployed two kilometers away? Four mortars entered their security range without firing a warning shot. Are they pigs?"
The staff officer on duty didn't dare to take a breath, so he lowered his head and answered: "I don't know even if I am in a humble position!"
Watanabe's anger became even more intense, and he continued to curse: "Aside from saying I don't know, what else can you say? Trash!"
"Boom boom boom..."
The second round of explosions sounded quickly, interrupting Watanabe who was about to continue scolding.
"Sir, one of our Imperial Army barracks was hit by a cannonball. A platoon of Imperial Army soldiers suffered heavy casualties. At least one squad was killed!" A second lieutenant rushed in and reported.
"Also, the entire station is in chaos. Everyone leaves the barracks and dare not rest for fear of being hit by artillery shells and buried in the houses!"
Watanabe frowned and replied: "It seems that you won't be able to rest tonight!"
"Last night, the Independent Battalion used the same method to sneak attack on us. Tonight, I specially placed the guard post two kilometers away, just to prevent the Independent Battalion from attacking our station within the effective range of the mortar. Unexpectedly, I still miscalculated!
"
The staff officer on duty mustered up the courage to reply: "Our guard post two kilometers away must have been killed by the enemy!"
"Otherwise, it would be impossible for the independent battalion to quietly enter our warning range and bombard us so brazenly!"
"Sir, I suggest you immediately dispatch a mixed squadron to go out and drive the artillery that ambushed us out of the warning range!"
"No!" Watanabe refused without hesitation.
"If the independent battalion can kill one of our security posts, it can also kill our security posts in other directions!"
"Do you know what this means!"
Seeing that the staff officer on duty didn't speak, Watanabe's expression became even worse, and he continued with a stern face.
"We have lost control of the two-kilometer warning range around the station!"
"In addition to artillery, the Eighth Route Army entering this area probably also has a large number of infantry, and they have prepared pocket formations for us, just waiting for us to drill!"
The staff officer on duty asked with a look of unwillingness: "Then we will sit back and wait for death, and stay at the station to be bombed!"
"No, we are going to fight back, but not as a mixed squadron!" A sneer flashed across Watanabe's face quickly.
The staff officer on duty looked eager to try and asked: "Sir, how do you fight back?"
"I am willing to personally lead the team to fight out and teach the independent battalion a lesson!"
Watanabe shook his head and refused: "No, your level is too low to command so many troops!"
"The three main companies of the Independent Battalion are being watched by our three-pronged feint attack force. They haven't sent any news yet, which means that the three main companies are still staying in place and haven't moved!"
"The total strength of the independent battalion is more than 1,500 people. After deducting these three companies and deducting their casualties in the past few days, there are at most 500 people left!"
"Even if they are well-equipped and well-trained, five hundred people at most can swallow up one of our reinforced mixed squadrons. If there are more, they will be overwhelmed to death!"
"I decided to dispatch one reinforced squadron of the Imperial Army and one reinforced battalion of the Imperial Association Army at a time. The deputy captain personally commanded them to go out and sweep the two-kilometer warning range around the station, drive out the artillery that sneaked up on us, and rearrange the security posts!"
"Other troops are stationed on alert. If an accident occurs, reinforcements will be sent immediately."
"This time when the guard posts are rearranged, we must increase the number of hidden posts twice to ensure that there will no longer be an enemy invasion within the guard range!"
The staff officer on duty responded with admiration: "Sir, you are wise, your method is absolutely flawless, and there is no loophole in your humble position!"
"The independent battalion around us has limited troops. Unless they are willing to fight us and then be killed by us, they will have no choice but to retreat and be driven out of the warning range by us!"
"I'm so humble, go give the order now!"
