"Regiment seat, the second company was attacked by the Red Army and suffered 13 casualties, including 9 dead. By the time we counterattacked, the Red Army had already run away. Do you want to pursue us?" A communications soldier rushed over and reported.
Jin Qianghu kept a sullen face and refused almost without thinking: "Don't worry about them, let's move on!"
"The Red Army's purpose for doing this is obvious. It is to slow down our march, hold us back, and buy time for them to transfer the wounded. We must not be fooled!"
"As long as we control their seriously wounded, these Red Army troops will appear automatically without us looking for them. It won't be too late to kill them when the time comes!"
"The troops continue to advance and tell the brothers that if they are attacked by the Red Army again, they will fight back with the guns in their hands. If we repel them, we will continue to march forward..."
Jin Qianghu's eyes were very vicious. He could see the weakness of the recruit company at a glance, and then he would focus on this weakness and not let go.
The three infantry squads took turns attacking, and the enemy was delayed for three hours on a road that could have been covered in two hours.
"Platoon leader, the enemy is coming~" Cheng Yuan reported breathlessly as he rushed into the town.
"I just took a closer look and confirmed that there are more than 450 enemies killed!"
"By ambushing their forward troops and harassing and attacking along the way, the enemy suffered more than a hundred casualties in total, and dozens of people were left to take care of the wounded!"
Li Hao looked serious, his eyes stayed on each squad leader for two seconds and then said: "Comrades, the real tough battle is next!"
"If the enemy had more than 600 people fighting together, we would have no chance of winning if we held our position. But now there are only more than 400 enemies. What's more important is that the number of Czech-made weapons in our hands has increased to four, and the number of submachine guns has also increased to four.
There are also three box cannons and plenty of ammunition!"
"I am confident that I will lead everyone to protect the severely wounded members of the entire regiment, repel the enemy's attack, and persist until the main force of the regiment comes over. Do you have the confidence!"
"Yes!" The faces of the four squad leaders also regained some confidence, unlike the lack of confidence at the beginning.
After killing so many enemies with almost no casualties, the strength of both sides waxed and waned. At this moment, they were even looking forward to the next battle!
"Very good!" Li Hao was very satisfied with everyone's answers.
With confidence, morale, and the tactics he had already thought of in his mind, Li Hao was also full of confidence in this battle.
"Now let me assign the tasks: the first squad is responsible for the east side of the town, the second squad is responsible for the west, the company commander and his people are responsible for the north, the machine gun squad, and the third squad are responsible for this with me, the enemy is most likely to choose the main attack direction!"
"The enemy has very few troops and only has three heavy machine guns. Most of them will choose to launch a focused attack from one direction. However, it cannot be ruled out that the enemy will launch a comprehensive attack from all four directions, or focus on one direction and attack from the other three directions.
Feint!"
"So we have to station troops in all four directions of the town."
"The task I give you is: if there are few attacking enemies, you can find a way to fight them off; if there are many attacking enemies and you can't deal with them yourself, then fire three consecutive shots into the sky. When I hear the gunfire, I will dispatch the machine gun squad and the three
Ban goes over to reinforce!"
"All classes are in place immediately and are ready for battle!"
On the road south of the town, the more than 400 remaining members of the garrison were sitting on the ground, breathing heavily and resting to replenish their strength for the next attack.
Under the protection of guards, the regiment leader Jin Qianghu and the chief of staff carefully observed every move in the town a few hundred meters away.
After a few minutes passed, Jin Qianghu's brows that had just relaxed were furrowed again because he had arrived at his destination, and he muttered to himself.
"No, the town in front is too quiet, it doesn't look like there is an army stationed there!"
The chief of staff felt the same way, and frowned as he reminded: "Members of the group, could it be that they have moved away in advance?"
Before Jin Qianghu could say anything, a company commander rushed over: "Tuanzuo, we met a few ordinary people during our investigation. They are from the town!"
"They said the Red Army drove everyone out of the town and even occupied the yards of several wealthy families!"
"The Red Army hasn't left, and they plan to stick to it!" Jin Qianghu's eyes lit up and he shouted. Not only did his frown relax, but a smile full of expectation flashed across his face.
Staring at the company commander, he asked, "Is there any useful information?"
"Yes!" the company commander replied quickly.
"There were less than 300 Red Army soldiers who entered the town early this morning. Among them, less than 100 were armed with guns. The others were either seriously injured or stretcher-bearers. They didn't even have a grenade!"
"This is good news!" The smile on Jin Qianghu's face became even wider.
"The situation of the Red Army is similar to what we judged, and it is even worse than what we imagined!"
"Less than a hundred people have guns. The town is so big, and there are only about twenty people defending in each direction. Taking them down shouldn't be a problem!"
Jin Qianghu became more and more excited as he spoke, and then he looked at the Chief of Staff and ordered: "I have already thought about how to deal with them. Chief of Staff, please tell me the situation of each company first. As the old saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will win every battle!"
"
The chief of staff quickly replied: "The first battalion on the road suffered the greatest losses. Each company lost more than a platoon of troops!"
"There are 58 people left in the first company, 52 people left in the second company, and 61 people left in the third company!"
"The second battalion is better. The strength of each company is maintained at more than 80 people!"
"Are the machine guns still there?" Jin Qianghu asked.
"They are all here, but the machine gunners suffered heavy casualties, especially the first battalion. The machine gunners and deputy gunners were all killed. Now the riflemen are temporarily used as machine gunners!"
The confidence on Jin Qianghu's face did not change at all, and he replied with an indifferent expression: "It's nothing, as long as the bullets can be shot out and the Red Army's blocking firepower can be suppressed!"
"I order the first company to attack from the east of the town, the second company to attack from the west, and the third company to attack from the north!"
"Tell the three company commanders that their mission is to feign an attack to attract the Red Army's troops deployed in all directions and prevent them from reinforcing us!"
"I will take personal command of the Second Battalion, Guard Company, and Heavy Machine Gun Platoon to attack the town from here!"
"Since the Red Army's troops are insufficient, then I will defeat them one by one!"
"First take down the Red Army in the south, then charge into the town, attack from the front and back, take down the Red Army in the other three directions, and finally kill their seriously wounded!"
Li Hao hid behind the earthen wall that surrounded the town, staring at the garrison a few hundred meters away without blinking.
I hope in my heart that the enemy will launch a probing attack soon, and then I will set up a pocket formation at the entrance of the town to kill this probing force and give the enemy a disincentive.
To his disappointment, no test troops showed up until the garrison regiment was divided.
"Platoon commander, the enemy's heavy machine gun has been set up. It seems that they don't want to test us and launch an attack directly!" Seeing the enemy coming up and setting up their heavy machine gun, machine gunner Zhong Jiangwen slowly became worried.
Li Hao judged with a stern face: "Attack as soon as we come up. The enemy commander is either impulsive and arrogant, or he has already figured out our situation!"
"Judging from the enemy's behavior along the way, the first judgment is obviously unrealistic!"
"Their commander is not only not impulsive, but also very calm, has very rich combat experience, and is definitely considered sophisticated."
Li Shaohua on the other side suddenly reacted: "Platoon commander... you mean that the enemy knows that we are short of troops!"
"He must have known about it, otherwise he wouldn't have the guts to come up and divide his troops!"
"The troops that were separated launched feint attacks from the other three directions, and we are the main attack here. As long as those feint troops exist, even if we are killed here, Cheng Yuan and the others will not be able to come over to reinforce us. What a powerful opponent!"
