"Company commander, we got some news from a puppet army!" The instructor came back from outside the mountain and reported in a hurry.

"In order to prevent the patrol from being attacked by us again, the devil ordered all the patrol to enter the blockade ditch, work in pairs, and hide in the blockade ditch as a sentry."

Zhang Cheng sighed: "It's a good idea to replace patrols with sentinels. ”

"Instructor, our opponent is smart."

"Under the cover of night, one or two people are hiding in the blockade ditch, we can't find them at all, but they can see us, the role of vigilance is no worse than that of patrols, and we can still give early warning."

The instructor frowned and replied, "The little devils are very smart, but as soon as they change like this, our battle plan for the sneak attack patrol will be aborted." ”

Zhang Cheng replied with an indifferent face: "The enemy changes and I change, it's not a big deal." ”

"Instructor, if we can't beat the patrol, we'll go and fight the ambush soldiers hidden in the blockade ditch."

"In the past, we didn't dare to fight, because we didn't know where their hiding hole was, and if we chose the wrong attack position, we might be flanked by two ambushes."

"It's different now, the blockade ditch was dug by the villagers themselves, and there are many of our own people in the maintenance association."

"Where there is a hidden soldier cave, where the blockade ditch has not been repaired, the villagers are clear."

"You immediately contact the maintenance committee under our control, find out the specific location of the hidden soldier cave, we will directly attack the ambush inside, and now kill one more devil, and our pressure will be less in the counter-sweep."

At the headquarters of the garrison regiment, Hong Linfeng was reporting to Li Hao the latest battle situation in the base area.

"Regiment commander, this is the battle report that the three independent battalions have just summarized, and it can be summed up in six words: great results and great pressure!"

"The troops fought guerrilla warfare, movement warfare, sparrow warfare, night warfare...... Successive strikes were carried out against the enemy, killing and wounding more than 1,000 reinforcements, and the results were remarkable. ”

"But they also have a lot of operational pressure."

"The Japanese puppet army has more than three times the superiority in strength, and our troops are separated by a blockade wall, the range of activities is small, they are not connected with each other, and if they are not careful, they will be surrounded."

"So far, there have been three main platoons surrounded by the Japanese puppet army and the whole army has been annihilated."

"In addition, in order to find our troops and force them to come out for a decisive battle, the Japanese puppet army has attacked the people in the blockade area more than once."

"As long as the fellows they suspect, they will all be arrested and tortured, or they will be directly slaughtered by the little devils to vent their anger."

"Among the three main platoons that the whole army was destroyed, two of them were actively exposed in order to save their fellow villagers, and finally they were surrounded by the heavy troops of the Japanese puppet army, and the whole army was annihilated."

"According to statistics, more than 500 villagers in the nine blockade areas have been bloodily slaughtered by the Japanese puppet army, including a small village, and more than 100 people in the whole village have all been killed, and none of them are alive."

Li Hao's hands were already clenched into fists, his muscles were exposed, and his face was angry.

"Bang ......"

A fist slammed on the table, and he shouted murderously: "This revenge must be avenged!" ”

"Chief of Staff, immediately give an order to the three independent battalions: from now on, all the hidden troops in the blockade area will act independently, except for the underground party, and they must not have any contact with the villagers, so as to avoid bringing them unwarranted disasters."

"Contact Xiao Yuan, the leader of the commando team, and organize snipers and sharpshooters to snipe all the little devils and spies they see in the blockade area, and I will retaliate with a tooth for a tooth."

"Finally, the pressure of the anti-sweep cannot be carried by the three independent battalions and the people in the blockade area, and we must also move."

"I've decided to act tomorrow night and hit here."

Li Hao pointed to a stronghold on the map that had been repaired by the Japanese attacking troops, and made a categorical decision.

Lin Wu Town, the current station of the Japanese puppet army sweeping troops in Wei County.

The stronghold was repaired more than half a month ago, and according to the original plan, after the sweeping troops spent five days clearing all the anti-Japanese assemblies in the blockade area, leaving behind a small number of troops, the main force continued to attack the hinterland of the garrison regiment's base area and open up a new blockade area.

The Eighth Route Army, which suddenly appeared in the old blockade area, disrupted this plan and forced them to stop the offensive, stop here, and suppress the Eighth Route Army in the rear.

After reducing the reinforcements and sweeping the troops in the third blockade area, the garrison left behind in Linwu Town was directly reduced to 1,500 people.

Osa, too, stayed here and lived every day in fear, especially at night.

Fifteen hundred troops, it looks like a lot, but the garrison regiment is armed with heavy artillery, and there are quite a few of them.

If these units were exposed in the field, the garrison heavy artillery battalion would only need ten rounds of artillery shells to take them out.

Fortunately, they repaired the stronghold of Lin Wu Town in advance, and a large number of reinforced concrete bunkers gave Dazuo the confidence to hold here, and did not directly lead troops back to the blockade area.

Of course, this hold does not mean that you can hold this place under the strong attack of the garrison, but rely on the strong fortifications of the stronghold to hold on until the reinforcements come over, flank the front and back, and repel the garrison.

"Sir, there are activities of the Eighth Route Army outside the stronghold!" Subordinates rushed in and reported.

"Cavalry or infantry." Da Zuo asked with a raised eyebrow.

"There are cavalry and infantry." The subordinate replied.

Dazuo's brows immediately furrowed, and he analyzed very cautiously: "Something is wrong, a cavalry company has been operating around us for several days, and now that there are more infantry, there must be something inside." ”

"Immediately contact the other two sweeping forces and ask them if there is any change there?"

Twenty minutes later, the subordinate returned: "Sir, the friendly troops called back, and the Eighth Route Army moving around them only had cavalry, no infantry, the same as before. ”

"Oh no, we're being targeted by the garrison!" Dazuo judged with a calm face.

"Send a telegram to the friendly troops immediately: the garrison is likely to attack us tonight, and ask them to prepare to send reinforcements."

"As soon as our telegram for help arrives, we will immediately send troops and surround the garrison in Linwu Town."

"Order all garrisons in the stronghold to enter positions and prepare for battle."

Da Zuo is too cautious, if Li Hao's target tonight is really Lin Wuzhen, he will definitely be disappointed.

If you react slowly, you can lose big.

But Li Hao's real target is not them.

At ten o'clock in the evening, more and more of the Eighth Route Army were active outside the stronghold, and some troops had begun to dig trenches outside, and they were busy in full swing.

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army must attack us, otherwise it will not dig a bunker, or send a telegram to friendly troops now, so that they can send troops to reinforce us." The subordinate suggested with a serious face.

"Wait!" Dazuo shook his head and vetoed.

Holding the binoculars, his eyes never left the outside of the base.

A few minutes later, a sudden order: "Hit a flare,"

The flare quickly rose into the air, burning into a cloud of white light, and slowly falling to the ground.

At this moment, the dark battlefield was illuminated as daylight, and the Eighth Route Army hidden outside the stronghold was all exposed at once.

Densely packed, some wielding sapper shovels to dig bunkers, some setting up machine-gun positions, and others guarding in the direction of the stronghold, at least one battalion.

"Sir, the garrison is definitely going to attack us tonight, send a telegram for help!" The subordinate suggested again.

"Heavy artillery, their heavy artillery units have not yet appeared." Dasa still didn't agree.

"Without heavy artillery, no matter how many people in the garrison regiment are, they can't take us. Only if we are sure that their heavy artillery is here, and they are involved in the attack, we will be in danger, and then we can send a telegram for help. ”
