On the hill defended by the 6th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the Imperial Army, the reconnaissance platoon and the assault team were cleaning the battlefield.

Every rifle, every bullet, even the bullet casing, all the fighters collected and boxed up.

"Battalion commander, there is no movement on the hill defended by the fifth company of the Imperial Cooperative Army, and there is no intention of coming over for reinforcements!" Xiao Yuan found Li Hao and reported.

"I saw that what the captives confessed was true!" Li Hao replied.

"Before they divided their troops, the Japanese had an order that the ten companies defending the hilltop heights should not move in any case, except for the mobile troops. It is said that it is to prevent us from attacking the east and west, and to prevent loopholes in the highway defense line! ”

Chen Wei, the commander of the reconnaissance platoon, said excitedly: "The devil must not have imagined it, just because of his order, let us break each one and kill six of them in a row in one night!" ”

"Battalion commander, since the Japanese puppet army strictly abides by the order to defend the mountain and the high ground, and does not know how to work, I suggest that we continue to fight, and kill two more of them before the devil reinforcements come over!"

"Yes, take two more hills!" Xiao Yuan also showed an eager expression on his face.

Li Hao shook his head and refused: "Don't fight ......"

"You are not tired, comrades are tired!"

"Take four mountains in a row, and by the way, kill two mobile companies, we have driven more than ten kilometers at night, everyone must be very tired!"

"In this case, the combat effectiveness of the fighters will definitely be greatly weakened, and they will not be able to concentrate. Even if we win the battle in the end, the casualties of the troops will be very large, and the gains will outweigh the losses! ”

"Also, we fought a sneak attack, winning more with less, and the enemy could see our true strength at a glance when fighting during the day, and there was no way to sneak attack them!"

"Order the troops to seize the time to rest and replenish their strength, I will only give you three hours, and there will be greater actions waiting for you at that time!"

Xiao Yuan's eyes lit up and asked, "Battalion commander, are we going to fight devils to reinforce the troops next!" ”

Li Hao did not deny it: "Last night, we broke through each and killed nearly half of the troops of the Imperial Army, and there were more than 100 devils. What's more, we also captured a large number of puppet troops, captured six mortars, six heavy machine guns! ”

"Originally, our plan didn't have the next link, and after the night attack on the Imperial Cooperative Army, our mission was over after the battle, but last night's capture and the order of the puppet army to defend the various hills gave me an idea."

"Holding the position means that the puppet army on the other hills is not aware of the situation of the mountains we have taken, we can completely replace them, pretend to be the puppet army to continue to defend these hills, and wait for the devil reinforcements to come over, and catch them off guard!"

"If I'm not mistaken, two of the four hills we occupied were right next to the road, and a single heavy machine gun could cover the entire stretch of the road!"

"Good way!" Xiao Yuan exclaimed excitedly.

Chen Wei's eyes also became hot, and he analyzed.

"Together with the capture, we now have seven mortars, six heavy machine guns, and more than twenty light machine guns!"

"If you gather and give the devil reinforcements one or two concentrated fire strikes, at least you can hit them hard!"

Xiao Yuan was still excited just now, but after hearing this, he couldn't get excited, and reminded with a worried face: "Battalion commander, there is a problem!" ”

"We don't have that many troops to manipulate these light and heavy weapons!"

"After fighting all night, although our results were great, the casualties were not small."

"The reconnaissance platoon and the commando team lost a total of 34 people, and 14 people died directly. Now there are only thirty-one people in the two armies! ”

"That's just enough to operate six heavy machine guns!"

Li Hao shook his head and replied, "No, Captain Xiao, we are not short of soldiers!" ”

Xiao Yuan subconsciously replied: "Battalion commander, you mean the guerrillas and district squads who just rushed over last night!" ”

"Their training is not as good as the recruit company, just let them go to the battlefield to fight devils, can it work?"

Xiao Yuan's suspicions were not unreasonable, the guerrillas and district squads were all semi-full-time units, and the training time was less than half that of the recruit company.

Except for the guns, it is estimated that nothing else will be done.

Such troops go to the battlefield not to fight devils, but to die in vain.

But Li Hao still had a calm expression on his face, not only was he not worried, but replied confidently: "It's true that they can't fight devils, but it's definitely okay to guard the prisoners?" ”

Xiao Yuan immediately reacted: "Let them replace the recruit company and the guard platoon to guard the prisoners, and liberate the recruit company to participate in the battle!" ”

Li Hao shook his head and denied: "The recruit company has not formed combat effectiveness. It's okay to fight a dozen imperial allies, but if they really let them fight with devils, the heat is still a little worse. ”

"Besides, they're all infantry, we want machine gunners and gunners, it's useless to replace them!"

Xiao Yuan's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, but it didn't last long before a pair of eyes widened, and he asked with shock: "Battalion commander, in addition to the guerrillas, district squads, and recruit companies, we have hundreds of puppet army prisoners left in our hands, you don't plan to let them go!" ”

"You guessed it, it's really them!" A smile flashed at the corner of Li Hao's mouth and he replied.

At this time, not only Xiao Yuan, but Chen Wei also showed a shocked expression on his face!

Li Hao had long expected this scene, so he explained without waiting for them to speak: "Only among the captured puppet army can we find the machine gunners and gunners we need, so we must let them go to the battlefield!" ”

"If nothing else, the battle in the base area is over."

"Watanabe should already know that he was deceived, and the main force of our independent battalion has not been transferred out of the base area."

"In this way, Watanabe will treat us as a small force and despise us."

"In this case, I'll give Watanabe a trick to scatter beans into soldiers today, and take the devil reinforcements by surprise, so that Watanabe can't figure out where the main force of our independent battalion is, how many troops there are, and I will be afraid of us again, killing two birds with one stone!"

"Platoon Commander Chen, Captain Xiao, comrades can rest, you can't. Immediately organize the troops and hand over all the prisoners to the guerrillas who had arrived last night. They give as many captured rifles as they need, and they are guaranteed to have one gun and ten rounds of ammunition for each person, and they are specifically responsible for guarding the prisoners! ”

"The district squad, the recruit company, and the guards were in a platoon, and all the machine gunners and gunners among the prisoners were singled out, and one person stared at one prisoner. Tell them that as long as they help our independent battalion fight this battle, we of the Eighth Route Army will not be responsible for what they have done before. After the battle is over, if you are willing to join the Eighth Route Army, you will join us, and you will not want our independent battalion to be released directly! ”

"Captain Xiao, you have drawn out all the artillery groups and fire teams of the commando, and Platoon Commander Chen, you have also drawn out the three fire teams of the reconnaissance platoon, and they will command the machine gunners and gunners in the prisoners to fight respectively!"

"The rest of the team moves freely!"

"After our mortars and light and heavy machine guns fire, the devil reinforcements will definitely be in chaos!"

"The more chaotic the enemy, the more opportunities we have. When the time comes, the reconnaissance platoon and the commando team will have a competition, who will kill the most little devils and have the least casualties, and after returning to the base area, the battalion headquarters will reward a hundred oceans and five box guns with free funds! ”
