For nearly 800 days, the puppet troops, carrying heavy machine guns and mortars, rushed out of the station in a mighty manner, aiming directly at the two artillery squads that were being moved.
"Deputy battalion commander, Japanese and puppet troops are coming towards us!" Chen Wei, the leader of the reconnaissance platoon, caught up with Hong Linfeng and reported.
"I saw it!" Hong Linfeng replied seriously.
"So many torches, they almost light up the sky! How many people are there and what are their equipment?"
Chen Wei quickly replied: "There are more than seven hundred people, bringing many heavy machine guns and mortars."
Xiao Yuan, who was hunting the security posts in front, also came after hearing the news. He frowned and analyzed: "The Japanese and puppet troops have too many troops!"
"If there are only one or two hundred people, the commando team and the reconnaissance platoon can still kill them. With more than 700 people dispatched at one time, it would be too risky to attack rashly!"
Hong Linfeng analyzed: "Watanabe has been frightened by our night attacks and guerrilla warfare!"
"I will definitely not dare to send out one or two hundred people..."
Speaking of this, Peng Yunfeng suddenly thought of something, suddenly realized and shouted: "I understand, Watanabe must have thought that our troops here are insufficient, with only two companies, and then he dared to send these troops out!"
"More than seven hundred days of puppet troops are a bit much for us during the day, but with the reinforcements and cavalry company that just arrived, we can definitely swallow them!"
"Captain Xiao, the mission of the commando team remains unchanged. Continue to hunt down Japanese and puppet army guard posts and protect the artillery!"
"The mission of the two artillery squads remains unchanged. They will continue to bombard the Japanese and puppet troops' garrison, and lead more than 700 puppet troops to circle around their garrison to hold them back!"
"Reconnaissance platoon, divide your troops to harass the Japanese and puppet troops, wait for the battalion commander to come!"
"I will immediately send someone to contact the battalion commander. I believe the battalion commander will not let this piece of fat go to his mouth."
In the temporary camp of the independent battalion, the dozen or so messengers at the battalion headquarters were all sweating profusely. They shuttled back and forth between each company's camp, delivering orders, without even daring to stop and rest.
"Battle Commander Peng: Our Battalion Commander Li ordered that the situation on the front line has changed, and the troops must immediately assemble and set off to join the battle!" The messenger panted and reported when he found Peng Yunfeng.
"Did you tell me what the mission was?" Peng Yunfeng asked with eyes shining.
"No, but if this battle is fought, we can kill at least 700 days of puppet troops!" the messenger shook his head and replied.
"So many!" Peng Yunfeng took a breath and exclaimed, then stared at the messenger and asked with excitement on his face.
"Are there any other orders?"
"Lead the troops to the battlefield where gunshots were fired. Do not light torches on the road to expose the target. The faster the better. When you get there, troops will respond and tell you the specific combat missions. These are the exact words of our battalion commander. I
Not a single word was missed.”
Outside the Japanese and puppet army station, Li Hao and his guard company were the first to rush to the battlefield to join Hong Linfeng.
For more than 700 days, the puppet troops held torches high and formed a huge offensive square with a front width of more than 500 meters, following closely behind the two artillery squads, trying to drive them out of the warning range.
Seeing Li Hao coming, Hong Linfeng reported quickly as if he had found a savior: "Battalion Commander, the Japanese and puppet troops who came out are too cunning. No matter how provocative the reconnaissance platoon was, they were indifferent and did not separate their troops. They always hugged each other and chased the artillery squad.
beat!"
Li Hao analyzed thoughtfully: "I probably understand Watanabe's thoughts!"
"He must not know that the other three groups of feigned attack troops have been killed by us, so he sent these troops out."
"With more than 700 attacking troops, without reinforcements and three main companies, we will definitely not be able to defeat them with just the independent company and the guard company!"
"However, even if the attacking force has a strength advantage, he doesn't want to fight us at night. He just wants to force the artillery squadron out of their warning range and have a good night's sleep!"
Hong Linfeng looked suddenly enlightened and shouted: "Then we will surprise Watanabe tonight. He will definitely not expect that we have a reinforcement force of 500 people. If they join the battle, Watanabe will be so angry that he vomits blood."
"Battal Commander, how can we fight? This is fat meat in your mouth. If you don't eat it, you won't eat it for free!"
Li Hao shook his head and replied: "It is impossible to eat them all, and this battle must be fought quickly."
"The Japanese have mountain artillery and armored vehicles. Once there is a stalemate on the battlefield and Watanabe deploys these heavy weapons, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and we may even be attacked by them in a counterattack."
"So during the battle, as long as the retreat signal is given, all participating troops must withdraw from the battlefield unconditionally. Even if the fat is in their mouths, they must be spit out!"
More than 60% of the soldiers in the first battalion of the Second Battalion of the Military Division are veterans, and more than 30% of the remaining recruits have also undergone at least three months of training, and each recruit is watched by two veterans.
Under the cover of darkness, more than 500 people from the First Battalion of the Second Battalion of the Military Division and the Independent Battalion Reconnaissance Platoon were like hunters, covered with withered yellow thatch, holding rifles with bayonets in their hands, lying motionless on the ground.
More than 200 meters ahead, more than 700 Japanese puppet troops huddled together were approaching them step by step.
Many of them held torches to illuminate their surroundings.
But the night was so dark that even with a torch, I could only see about twenty meters ahead, and couldn't see clearly any further away.
In addition, the Japanese and puppet troops focused their attention on the two artillery squads, and the first battalion was covered tightly with thatch, making it difficult to spot them even if they walked to the side. Therefore, no Japanese and puppet troops on the battlefield were aware of the danger that was so close at hand.
.
Peng Yunfeng was also lying on the ground, covered with thatch. The difference was that there was also a lot of thatch piled in front of him, with a crooked handle hidden inside.
The whole battalion originally only had nine crooked guns. In order to strengthen the troops' raiding firepower, Li Hao just ten minutes ago increased the number of machine guns in the battalion to twenty-four!
The lurking positions with a frontal width of 500 meters were set up almost every 20 meters.
Such a powerful firepower configuration was definitely the first time for Peng Yunfeng, and he had never dared to think of it before.
When he received the surprise attack on the Japanese and puppet troops twenty minutes ago, Peng Yunfeng had no confidence at all.
The total number of Japanese and puppet troops was more than 700, and we counted 500 in total. The enemy was strong and we were weak. Although most of the opponents were puppet troops, they were also enemies armed to the teeth.
If such an enemy were placed in a military subdivision, at least the entire second brigade would have to be dispatched to deal with it, but Li Hao actually let himself have a battalion to deal with it!
More importantly, there is almost no tactics in this battle, it is just a head-to-head fight.
First, use firepower to launch a close-range surprise attack on the Japanese and puppet troops. Then the troops will rush out and fight with the remaining Japanese and puppet troops, killing them with hand-to-hand combat.
Although the first battalion is now equipped with very good equipment and ammunition, there are only so many troops after all.
Even if 200 of them were killed in a close fire attack, the opponent would still have 500 people.
If a force of 500 men fight hand-to-hand with the same number of Japanese and puppet troops, even if they win in the end, the first battalion will suffer heavy casualties.
Not to mention that Li Hao has an additional requirement for this battle: a quick victory.
So after hearing about the mission, Peng Yunfeng's first reaction from the bottom of his heart was to refuse.
However, when Li Hao took out all the more than ten light machine guns he had prepared and named the independent battalion's highly capable reconnaissance platoon to also participate in the raid, he felt confident at that time.
Twenty-four light machine guns fired at the Japanese and puppet troops at close range, and with the addition of more than 400 riflemen, Peng Yunfeng was confident that the first round of firepower raids by his troops could kill at least 250 Japanese and puppet troops.
There is also an independent battalion reconnaissance platoon.
After they appeared in front of him, Peng Yunfeng became more confident.
There were not many people, but the equipment was so good that Peng Yunfeng was jealous.
Each warrior is configured with dual guns and is equipped with a box cannon.
The box gun is definitely the best weapon to fight the Japanese in hand-to-hand combat. It is powerful, has a long range, and has enough ammunition!
A twenty-shot box gun, with the cooperation of a rifleman, can kill at least five enemies with one magazine in hand-to-hand combat.
The reconnaissance platoon is equipped with 43 box guns, which means that after the hand-to-hand combat begins, the reconnaissance platoon can kill at least two hundred puppet troops in a short time, and the majority of them are Japanese!
The firepower raid killed more than 200 people, and the reconnaissance platoon killed more than 200 people. With only one reinforced squadron, there will definitely be very few Japanese soldiers left. By then, one battalion will have to deal with more than 300 Japanese and puppet troops, and they will all be puppet troops.
.
Peng Yunfeng is confident that the first battalion will definitely be able to kill them in a short time, or at least severely damage them!
