Huangqu Village is close to the highway and is the only way for the Japanese and puppet troops to sweep away the base area!
Three kilometers east of the village is the remaining vein extending from the mountain. You can advance, attack, retreat or defend. It is an excellent location for hiding troops!
The main force of the independent group is hidden here!
In a simple tent, Li Hao stood beside a table made of bullet boxes, staring at the map, motionless for almost two hours!
The battle may start at any time. As a commander, he must keep as many things on the map in his mind as possible!
This way you can not panic when something happens, and react quickly, without having to panic and read the map again, which wastes time.
Chief of Staff Hong Linfeng stood aside, sorting out the intelligence that the local troops had continuously gathered, and found out useful information for the regimental commander to refer to and formulate a combat plan!
"Report! The regiment commander, chief of staff, and commando team leader Xiao are back!"
The voice of the guard company commander Sun Jiawu suddenly sounded at the door of the tent, and then he saw Xiao Yuan walking in with heavy breathing, his face was very ugly, and there was a chill on his body, which Li Hao could feel even from a distance!
Before Li Hao could speak, Xiao Yuan lowered his head and reported with an embarrassed look: "Captain, I didn't complete the task, please be punished!"
"The Japanese and puppet troops from Laiyuan are so cunning and cautious!"
"We used landmines, and they grabbed ordinary people to clear the way and detonated the landmines we laid!"
"Then we used mortars to attack them from a distance, forcing them to send troops, and then beat them to attack the troops! This method has worked on other little devils, and it has been tried and true, but it has no effect at all on this devil!
"
"Completely ignore our shelling, lengthen and widen the marching column and continue marching, completely ignoring us!"
"I followed them for a day yesterday. The commando team used 20 rounds of artillery shells and more than a dozen landmines to kill and wound dozens of Japanese and puppet troops. There were not even an infantry squad of real little devils among them!"
"The commando team has been established for so long, and it has never fought such a frustrating battle!"
"The little devil is like an iron walnut that is placed in front of us but cannot be broken, leaving us with no way to eat it!"
There was nothing the commandos could do against the Japanese and puppet troops, let alone the ordinary troops of the independent regiment. Li Hao couldn't help but have a very bad premonition in his mind!
He took a deep breath and replied: "This is a Japanese and puppet army that we have never fought against before, and it is personally commanded by the commander of the Brigade of the Little Japanese Major General. It is definitely difficult to fight. Don't be discouraged. Wait until we figure out this little Japanese."
With his own fighting style and taking the right medicine, the fight will definitely be much easier when the time comes!"
"Yes, leader!" Xiao Yuan replied with anger on his face!
Li Hao nodded and asked with a serious look on his face: "Don't think about the past. Tell us what happened after the Japanese troops sent out troops from Lingqiu this morning! Our minds are all in a mess now. Reconnaissance
I haven’t even come back yet, and there’s no news about the Japanese raids!”
"Now that you are back, you will definitely bring back a lot of news!"
Xiao Yuan quickly replied: "Captain, the Japanese and puppet troops rested in Lingqiu City for one night and left the city at nine o'clock this morning. Judging from the time, they should have reached our base area soon!"
"For more than five thousand days, the puppet troops were divided into three groups. Each group consisted of a Japanese infantry brigade, a cavalry squadron, a mountain artillery squadron, and a main battalion of the Imperial Army, with a total strength of 1,800 people!"
"Three routes of mopping up troops entered our base area from three directions: Laoshu Village, Zhou Village, and Liangshang Village. They were five to eight kilometers apart from each other. Moreover, the three routes of mopping up troops advanced hand in hand. No matter which route the Japanese and puppet troops were attacked by us,
, the Japanese and puppet troops nearby can arrive on the battlefield within an hour and attack us from both front and rear!"
"Also, although these three Japanese and puppet troops brought a lot of heavy weapons, each with two infantry cannons, four mountain cannons, and twelve mortars, in order to relieve their dependence on roads, they had to speed up their march.
, all heavy weapons and ammunition baggage must be converted into mules and horses!”
Hong Linfeng's brows furrowed at that moment, and he analyzed with a solemn expression: "Captain, as long as the Japs don't divide their forces, don't advance alone, and keep cooperating so closely, it's almost impossible for us to defeat them individually!"
"The puppet army of 1800 Days is still mainly composed of little devils. The total strength is even more than the combat troops we have in hand. Moreover, they can call for aircraft support and support from neighboring troops at any time. We want to get rid of them in one fell swoop.
It is almost impossible to kill one of their mopping up troops!"
Li Hao also frowned into a big "Sichuan" and answered!
"Don't even think about dividing your troops!"
"Yesterday they were in their occupied area, with a total force of more than 5,000 people. They did not dare to divide their troops in the face of the provocation of the commandos, let alone now that they have entered our base area, and there are only less than 2,000 troops in each raid!"
"What should we do?" Hong Linfeng was anxious!
This was the best way he could think of to repel the Japanese and puppet troops. Now that this method failed, his already confused mind became even more confused, and he immediately analyzed it.
"The Japanese and puppet army's three-pronged sweep force moved in unison to sweep our base area. The purpose was too obvious: just like plowing a field, they wanted to plow our base area from north to south, drive all of our independent regiments together, and then gather together.
And annihilate them, kill all the troops of our independent regiment in one battle to avoid future troubles!"
"Two steps!"
Li Hao quickly made a decision and ordered with a serious look!
"The little devils in the Japanese-occupied areas can capture ordinary people and break our mine formations, but not in the base areas!"
"Everywhere the Japanese and puppet troops go, we have fortified the walls and cleared the fields. They will definitely not be able to catch ordinary people to break our mine formations. If this is the case, then we will use landmines on a large scale in the base areas!"
"Chief of Staff, how many earth-made landmines have been produced by the repair shop during this period!"
Hong Linfeng quickly regained his composure!
Every time Li Hao shows this expression, it means that he already has a way to defeat the enemy in his mind!
After thinking for a while, he replied: "There are 1,500 landmines filled with yellow explosives! 3,500 landmines filled with technological black powder, which adds up to almost 5,000 mines!"
"Use them all!" Li Hao ordered with a proud look on his face!
"Immediately send a telegram to the political commissar. Distribute all the landmines in the independent regiment's inventory. Each village guerrilla district team, in cooperation with the independent battalion, will lay mines on all the roads that must be passed by the Japanese and puppet troops' mopping up troops, and the back roads must also be laid.
Bury, I want to fight a large-scale mine war with the Japanese!"
"In addition, tell the political commissar that all locations where mines are buried must be clearly marked. When the battle is over, all the mines that have not detonated must be removed!"
"Don't let the Japanese bomb them instead of bombing the people!"
"Also, the best way for the devils to break through our home-made mine formations is to capture ordinary people to clear the way and detonate the mines!"
"Therefore, in order to use landmines to trap the Japanese and puppet troops who enter the base area, kill them in large numbers and slow down their attack speed. The troops must protect the people and must not let a single person fall into the hands of the devils, otherwise our mine array will be lost
effect!"
Hong Linfeng's confused brain slowly sorted out an idea, which became clearer and clearer!
His eyes lit up and he replied: "I will order Zhou Liang to send a telegram now!"
"With five thousand landmines, even if only one-tenth of them are effective, it would be enough for the Japanese and puppet troops to drink a pot!"
"Commander, the remaining troops have a mission. Where are our outside troops? We are the main force of the independent regiment. What do we do!"
