"Reporting to the company commander, we have killed all the Japs here. Including those killed earlier, we have killed at least fifty Japs along the way, a full infantry squad!" As soon as the company commander He Jun appeared, the second platoon leader
He reported with excitement!
"Where are the casualties? The casualties are too great for us now!" the company commander asked calmly.
"The troops are trapped in Lingqiu City. It is impossible to recruit more soldiers before breaking through. If one soldier is sacrificed, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be reduced by one point!"
The smile on the second platoon leader's face grew wider, and he immediately replied: "It's minimal! Only one soldier from the second platoon died. He was killed by a Japanese heavy machine gun during the assault just now! One is injured, and his arm is injured. It does not affect the action, and we can continue to fight!"
At this time, the third platoon leader who came a step later also reported: "Our platoon's opponents were only seven Japanese soldiers. They attacked them at close range from inside the house. Except for one Japanese soldier, Captain Cao, who was more difficult to deal with, the others were all killed in one blow!"
"
"We did not die, but one of us was injured, a penetrating wound to the thigh. The bleeding needs to be completely stopped before we can continue fighting!"
The platoon commander followed the company commander and hid behind the brick wall to attack the Japanese without sacrificing anyone!
Seeing that the two platoons fought so well and killed so many little Japs with almost no casualties, he was also moved. He immediately asked for battle with an eager expression on his face: "Company Commander, how are we going to fight next?"
"I also want to lead the troops to fight alone and kill the Japanese!"
Not to be outdone, the other two platoon leaders immediately called for battle and said: "Company Commander, it's so satisfying to beat the Japs like this. I'll give you an order to beat them again. I promise to kill dozens more Japs, and I'll try to do it to zero."
casualties!"
The company commander shook his head and replied calmly: "Do nothing, just wait and see what happens!"
"To put it more bluntly, wait here and wait!"
Several platoon leaders looked at He Jun with disbelief!
The platoon leader was the first to speak: "Why?"
"We have killed all the attacking infantry squad. The enemy behind them must not be clear yet. If we kill them now and surprise them, we will definitely catch them by surprise and kill many of them!"
The second platoon leader followed up and said: "Company commander, if the main force of the company has a mission and it is difficult to counterattack, I will just lead the second platoon to kill them. I will ensure that the Japanese are caught off guard and we can escape unscathed!"
The company commander still shook his head!
Seeing that everyone was looking at him with frowns, he explained with a serious face!
"Why are you so anxious? There are so many little devils out there. If you want to fight, there are plenty of opportunities!"
"If you go out and fight back now, you can indeed catch the Japanese off guard, but what happens after the attack? How will you fight next? Have you ever thought about it?"
"Then the Japanese army will definitely know that all their attacking troops have been destroyed, and then they will dispatch more troops to attack us. Maybe they will drag in the mountain artillery set up outside the city!"
"The reason why we were able to kill so many Japs with very few casualties just now is that the Japs underestimated the enemy!"
"When the Japs come over with heavy troops and stop underestimating the enemy, if we want to kill so many little Japs again, the price we have to pay will definitely be greater!"
The platoon leader frowned and asked: "But even if we don't take the initiative to attack, sooner or later the Japanese will know that the attacking troops have been wiped out by us, and they will still send heavy troops to attack us!"
"Since we can't avoid this attack, why not seize this opportunity to counterattack the Japanese, catch them off guard, kill them in large numbers, and reduce our subsequent defensive pressure!"
Several platoon leaders all stared at He Jun and waited for explanation!
He Jun continued: "At the beginning, I had the same idea as you. As long as there is an opportunity to kill the Japanese, I will seize it and never give up!"
"But just when I was about to give the order, I suddenly thought of an order from the chief of staff, and then vetoed your request for war!"
"The chief of staff ordered us to use street fighting to kill and injure a large number of Japanese attacking troops, and at the same time, we should try to delay the battle as much as possible!"
"Don't forget, it will get dark in less than four hours!"
"If we were attacked heavily by Japanese troops after dark, the casualties and pressure would definitely be less than during the day, and more Japanese would be eliminated!"
The platoon leader reacted first and shouted with a look of realization: "I understand!"
"Company Commander, you mean to delay time!"
"Try to delay the Japanese army knowing that their attacking troops have been killed by us. It is best to delay it until dark! In this way, even if they send heavy troops to attack us, they can only fight at night!"
"Whether it's night fighting or guerrilla warfare, it's what our Eighth Route Army is good at!"
"In addition, we are familiar with the terrain of the city, know every yard, every street, and the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. By then, we will definitely be able to severely damage the Japanese offensive troops. It is possible to fight two more annihilation battles!"
He Jun nodded and affirmed: "It's more than that!"
"We don't take the initiative to provoke the Japs, but there is no news about the attacking troops. They seem to have suddenly disappeared. If you were the Japs captain, what would you do?"
"Send someone to investigate!" the platoon leader replied without thinking!
Then he came to his senses and shouted excitedly: "I understand!"
"In addition to stalling for time, we force the Japanese to fight with us at night!"
"We can also wait here and kill the scouts sent by the Japanese. This way we can definitely kill many Japanese!"
He Jun nodded and continued: "One more thing, doing this can also increase the little devil's fear of us!"
"The more fear there is, the more likely they are to make mistakes, and the more mistakes they make, the more fighters we will have!"
"Don't be idle, clean up all the corpses of the Japanese on the street immediately and hide them in a more secluded room!"
"The extra weapons are buried in the cellar and marked, so that we can take them out for use when we have the opportunity in the future!"
The platoon leader's eyes flashed and he shouted: "This is a good idea!"
"The attacking troops can't see the living ones, nor can they see the dead bodies. If I were a little Japanese commander, I would definitely be scared when faced with this situation, let alone ordinary soldiers!"
At the south gate of Lingqiu City, more than a hundred puppet troops are clearing the city gate hole blocked by the independent group!
Not far away, a temporary headquarters has been set up!
The Lingqiu city defense map is hung on the wall. Three red heads represent the direction of the attack of the attacking troops. They are like a big rake, sweeping away all the Eighth Route Army near the south gate of Lingqiu city!
The captain looked at the map, as if seeing victory waving to him, a smile appeared on his lips involuntarily!
"Sir, the fourth infantry team of the second squadron has lost contact, and the gunfire from the attacking direction has also stopped!" A lieutenant suddenly rushed in to report, interrupting the captain's dream!
"It is impossible for an infantry team to lose contact. I have strengthened each infantry team with a heavy machine gun. The Eighth Route Army will definitely not be able to eliminate them without two companies, and the battle will definitely last for a long time! But until now, I
I haven’t heard any gunshots that were particularly intense and lasted for more than five minutes!” The captain shook his head in denial!
