"Platoon leader, you are going to attack those landlords and rich people!" Several veterans were frightened by Li Hao's bold decision.
Even the bellicose Li Jie had a worried expression on his face, staring at Li Hao and reminding him.
"Platoon commander, you should think twice!"
"When I was in the main force, I fought against those wealthy landlords. In order to protect their family business, they not only bought guns and formed escorts and militia, but also fortified their compounds like bunkers. With our small amount of troops, maybe we still don't have enough
Those landlords and rich men have many thugs, how can we attack them?"
"Don't let those landlords and their old wealth be taken down by then. Instead, we will be counterattacked by them and suffer heavy casualties. Then the gain will outweigh the loss!"
Cheng Yuan has the calmest personality among the squad leaders, which is an important reason why Li Hao asked him to serve as a scout at the front.
As soon as Li Jie finished speaking, he said: "Platoon commander, you must not be impulsive. The compounds of those landlords and wealthy people are definitely not as easy to fight as we imagined!"
"I remember that I had a fight with the company commander half a year ago. Although the combat effectiveness of those thugs was not very good, they could not get out due to the solidity of the courtyard. Our company had to kill one platoon before using grenades to blow open the courtyard wall, and then
Rush in!"
"Since then, our company commander has stayed away whenever he saw those yards built like bunkers. Unless there is an order from his superiors to capture them, he will never launch an attack rashly."
"There are only a dozen of us, and we only have one machine gun. As long as the enemy has a dozen or so people guarding the yard and unable to get out, even if all of us are killed, we are no match!"
The opinions of several squad leaders were surprisingly unanimous, and they were firmly opposed to attacking those landlords and wealthy people.
Li Hao was full of confidence just now, but now he hesitated.
These squad leaders under me are all veterans who have been in the Red Army for more than half a year. Any one of them has participated in more battles than himself.
Even they had no confidence, let alone a young boy with rich theoretical knowledge but little practical experience.
Also, there is too much pressure on Li Hao's shoulders.
This is the first action since the establishment of the guard platoon. In order to ensure everyone's morale and allow everyone to continue to believe in and support themselves, the first battle must be won.
Before we are 100% sure, we would rather not fight this battle!
With his brows furrowed and his head lowered, Li Hao finally made a decision after struggling for a long time.
“We won’t know until we can take it down!”
"The enemy cannot be so stupid as to send fighter planes to us eagerly. We need to find and create them ourselves so that we can have a chance. Otherwise, how can we attack the enemy at all if we don't have any chance at all!"
"Go there first, figure out the situation, and then decide whether to fight or not!"
The situation in the village is worse than everyone imagined.
This is a large village with nearly two hundred households. From a long distance away, they saw two thugs standing guard next to the fire with guns on their backs!
Li Jie was not optimistic about this operation from the beginning. He frowned and judged: "There are thugs on guard at the entrance of the village. There is at least one platoon of thugs in the landlord's compound in the village. Otherwise, they would not be able to separate two people to guard the entrance of the village!"
Except for Li Hao, the faces of everyone behind him became extremely solemn.
Li Jie continued: "Platoon commander, a platoon of thugs is guarding the yard, plus they have enough ammunition, there is no chance for us to take it down!"
"I suggest retreating immediately and giving up this operation!"
"I support retreat! If you attack even though you know you are losing, you will die!" Cheng Yuan also suggested.
Although the other two veterans did not speak, the expressions on their faces told Li Hao that this battle could not be fought.
Li Hao's face was also very solemn.
Under the tremendous pressure that he would rather win than fight, he also thought of retreating.
Seeing that his subordinates' opinions were consistent again, Li Hao was subconsciously ready to agree.
When the words came to his lips, the unwillingness in his heart made him swallow them back, and then shouted.
"It's okay to retreat, but we can't just leave in despair!"
"It's been a long time coming out. Although I can't eat the meat, I must take a sip of the soup. Otherwise, this opportunity will be wasted!"
"Listen up, everyone, we don't have to attack the landlord's compound in the village, but the two sentries at the entrance of the village must be captured!"
"To be able to form a platoon of thugs, this landowner must be very rich. If you have money, you will have good guns and plenty of ammunition. It is better to go out and get two good guns and dozens of bullets than nothing!"
The solemn expression on Li Jie's face disappeared, and he shouted arrogantly: "This is easy!"
"One blast of bullets from the light machine gun can smash them into pieces, without even a chance to get down."
"Our people rushed over quickly, took the guns and bullets, and then retreated. The battle could be over in five minutes at most!"
"Those thugs raised by the old landlords, if they are allowed to defend the yard, their combat effectiveness will be acceptable!"
"But if we let them leave the yard and rush out to confront our Red Army head-on, they wouldn't even dare to do so!"
"So, even if they hear gunshots and know that the sentry at the entrance of the village is under attack, they will not come out to reinforce!"
"But the gunshots at the entrance of the village will give the remaining thugs in the yard enough time to prepare for defense and defend the yard to meet our attack!"
Li Hao was not satisfied with this plan and shook his head.
"With luck, the two thugs can get dozens of bullets from them. You can shoot out more than a dozen bullets with one shot, so what's the point of fighting this battle?"
"I demand that these two sentries be captured silently without firing a shot or a bullet!"
"If possible, try to catch them alive for me!"
The village entrance has a clear view, and the weather is good tonight, so it is impossible to reach the village entrance quietly.
The excitement on Li Jie's face suddenly disappeared, and several other veterans also frowned, thinking hard about solutions.
Two minutes passed, and not a single veteran's brow relaxed.
Li Hao said at this time: "Since you have no choice, then just listen to me!"
"Aren't the eight recruits still wearing uniforms of the Central Army? We pretended to be the Central Army and approached the village entrance, and then launched a sudden attack to capture them!"
"This is Bai Gouzi's rear area. They would never imagine that we are the Red Army."
"But just in case, Zhong Jiangwen, the machine gun in your hand must be loaded. If they make any move, just shoot them!"
"Two guns and dozens of bullets, I will drink this soup tonight!"
