Speaking of this, he hesitated for a moment, but Li He still said firmly: "Judging from the deployment of the Japanese troops in front of us, although the street opposite us is not wide, it should be a key defense area of the Japanese army. Staying behind us is not only a hidden danger, but also a threat to our troops who attack along the main road to the south. Before we could break through in depth, we had to deal with the Japanese troops in front of us. ”

"Remember, heavy weapons must be light when they go up to the roof, we move under the noses of the devils, and the slightest noise will reveal our tactical intentions. When you set up your fire, try to find a house with a big tree in the yard as much as possible. ”

"After the bazooka and recoilless gun finished their mission, they quickly disengaged. As for your machine guns, after the troops rush over, I will arrange for the troops to cover your follow-up. While rushing out of the alley, each squad wanted to give me a round of grenades first. You don't have to look for a target, just use the explosion to provide some cover. ”

"After the machine gun found the location, I evacuated all the people in the courtyard. And those who had a cellar in the courtyard rushed into the cellar. If there is none, they will be arranged for them to hide at the base of the wall. You're all veterans, so I don't need to say more about how to find cover. Without alarming the enemy in front of us, we must first settle the common people. ”

"In addition, when arranging machine gun fire points, you must find a way out in advance, so as not to be trapped in the house at that time. Even if you shrink back, you have to be able to advance and retreat freely. Now I'll give you only ten minutes, and I won't alarm any enemy troops. ”

After the cadres of several companies and platoons in front of him made their own arrangements, Li He gave in and talked about informing the instructors of his plan. After repeatedly telling him to start the fire, the instructor used the gunfire on this side as a cover to detour through the Japanese position from the northeast as quickly as possible. And quickly along the North Market, Xinkai Hutong to the North Street interspersed.

As soon as the instructor's side reaches the departure area, his side moves immediately. To put it bluntly, his plan is actually just one sentence, that is, he Li He eats the frontal enemy, and the instructor's side develops in depth. The two of them and the brother troops who were attacking head-on a hundred meters away at the moment, interspersed with each other.

Although he was very worried about whether his instructor, who was born in a pure talent, could command the troops well, he had no choice for Li He at the moment. The deputy company commander of the third company stepped on a mine and died when he broke through the first line of the city wall, and the company commander was shot in the chest by a cold gun when he entered this alley area and fought fiercely with a small group of Japanese troops.

Of the company-level cadres of the entire Third Company, there was only one instructor left. You can't let a platoon commander command the battle in the presence of the instructor. According to the latest regulations of the Anti-Japanese Federation, this is also not allowed. Although the instructor is a political cadre, the rank of captain is the highest in the whole battalion except for himself.

According to the order that the commander dies or withdraws from the front-line command for some other reason, and the highest-ranking personnel act as the commander, the instructor is the most natural acting commander of the Third Company at this moment. Although Li He thought that the instructor who had been a platoon commander was more suitable for commanding the Third Company.

Compared with other instructors who have been promoted from the grassroots level, even if they are three-company instructors. He was only from the position of head of the propaganda unit of the regimental administration before the war, and he took over from the former who was transferred to the 21st Division as the deputy political commissar of the regiment, and was sent to the battalion as an instructor of the battalion administration.

Not to mention that before the Anti-Japanese Federation was transferred to work in the Northeast, he was just an ordinary officer of the Political Department of the Taihang Military Region, and he had not engaged in any military work. From inside the customs to outside the customs, this top student of Shanxi No. 1 Normal School was born, with a pair of glasses and politeness, and a natural good eloquence. It makes Li He feel that he is a political instructor who is born to be a political worker, and his resume is not related to military issues at all.

Let this instructor, who has never been engaged in military affairs, independently command a company to fight, which somewhat makes Li He's heart a little hanging. But there is no way, I can't send the only deputy company commander around me. Let's not talk about the fact that the time is too late and too late, that is, it is heavier from the combat mission.

After the commander of the first company died in Kongjiawobao, and the instructor was killed by the cannon when he crossed the blockade area of the Japanese artillery at Gangtongwobao, the three company-level cadres of the first company were only left with only one deputy company commander who was slightly injured and could not get out of the line of fire. As the sharp knife battalion of the 54th Regiment, it has been fighting on the front line since the beginning of the battle of Kongjiawobao, and cadres at all levels have suffered heavy casualties.

The first battalion plus the machine gun company, a total of 12 chief and deputy company commanders and instructors, except for the second company commander and instructor who were in the frontal assault, the remaining two infantry companies are now added together to have only one instructor and one deputy company commander. Although the cadres of the machine gun company were still intact, they were followed by only one squad of 12 mm machine guns and one squad of recoilless guns.

The 82nd mortar platoon and the ammunition platoon, as well as the recoilless gun platoon and the remaining two squads of the anti-aircraft machine gun platoon, were all cooperating with the second company's attack. After receiving the news of the sacrifice of the third company commander, he just wanted to transfer the machine gun company commander to take over the command, but it was already too late.

As for the platoon-level cadres, counting the fire platoons of each company, half of the 20 platoon commanders were still left before the battle of Kongjiawobao began. In fact, except for the second company, which is quite complete, the rest of the first and third companies, in fact, can only barely be formed into two platoons now with the addition of firepower platoons.

In the first battle of Kongjiawobao, the 54th Regiment fought very beautifully and destroyed many enemies. But its own casualties are really not light. In particular, the first battalion, which was responsible for the main garrison duty on the front line, suffered a third of the casualties. Coupled with the ensuing pursuit battle, there was no rest and recuperation all the way to Tongliao City, and the casualties were not replenished at all.

This also caused Li He, the battalion commander, to temporarily adjust the cadres, but there was no way to do it. Although there are some instructors who are not worried about having no practical experience, they can only do so for the time being. Fortunately, the instructor of the company, who is currently acting as the commander of the third company, is the oldest instructor in the first battalion.

Although he has not been promoted because of his own problems, in terms of actual combat experience, he is far from being able to compare with instructors who have not been on the battlefield. With him by his side to assist the instructor in command, the situation may not be as bad as he thought.

After the deployment is completed, waiting for the instructor and his troops to move in place. Li He did not continue to observe the enemy's situation, but sat in the corner of the wall and replaced his anti-United Nations imitation Tokarev pistol with a new magazine and inserted it into the belt around his waist. Then holding a submachine gun, he sat patiently and waited for the instructor's reply in place.

And the fighters around him, in addition to machine gunners, bazookas and recoilless guns, were looking for their respective positions and aimed at the Japanese fortifications opposite. The rest of the men carefully either replenished the ammunition of their weapons or unscrewed the safety cover of the grenade, leaving the fire rope exposed, ready for battle.

Just when all the people were waiting for Li He's departure order, suddenly less than forty-five meters to the north of them, that is, in the middle of the position where they and the instructor were scheduled to launch the attack, a dense burst of gunfire suddenly rang out. Hearing the gunshot, Li He raised his head violently, but saw that the walker next to him was shaking his head to signal that the instructor had not yet received a signal in place.

The instructor hasn't gotten back to his place yet, what's going on over there? Li He didn't have time to think about it. Because he could tell that the firepower of the Japanese troops across the street was obviously the firepower of the anti-United Nations team. Seven automatic rifles and one squad machine gun are exactly two-thirds of the firepower of a formed squad of the Anti-Japanese Union.

And in that direction, it was not the place where Li He planned to depart. Hearing the sound of gunshots, he knew that it was probably one of the two classes that he had not yet contacted, and I was afraid that it was Li He, who had touched it, knew that no matter whether the instructor was in place at the moment or not, he could not wait any longer.

The gunfire must have attracted the attention of the Japanese army. If his subordinates are in control, as long as a gun is fired, it means that his entire latent intentions are exposed. And once the Japanese army's in-depth artillery fire covers this civilian house, not only will the latent troops be finished, but even the people here do not know how many casualties they will have in the artillery fire.

Without any hesitation, after Li He directly gave the combat order to the people around him, he pulled out his flare gun and fired a green signal flare for the specified contact. Receiving his order, the troops quickly rushed out of their hidden alleys under the cover of recoilless guns, rocket launchers, and battalion machine guns on the rooftops, and threw their grenades behind the Japanese positions on the opposite side with all their might. Using the tactics of three groups and one team, they divided into multiple battle teams and quickly rushed through the street several meters wide.

The recoilless gunners, bazooka fighters, and battalion and company machine gunners on the roof, after knocking out the Japanese heavy machine gun fortifications on the roof opposite, quickly withdrew under the cover of the squad machine guns that had been left at the mouth of the alley to suppress the fire of the Japanese troops on the opposite side, and quickly followed under the cover of automatic rifle fire that had already rushed through the street.

However, even when these were retreating from the rooftops, they moved quite quickly, and the troops who had already rushed across the street desperately covered and responded. But the Japanese were deployed under the blows of grenadiers that reacted very quickly in depth, and lost a 12-mm machine gun and a bazooka.

Although the sudden appearance of troops disrupted Li He's plan, it undoubtedly distracted the attention of the Japanese army. Coupled with the suddenness of Li He's movements, he rushed through the street in front of him almost without any losses, and was tightly mixed with the Japanese troops across the street.

It was only when he rushed through the street that he realized that the number of Japanese troops on the opposite side exceeded his judgment. There were three or four hundred regular Japanese troops and armed expatriates here. When he found that the number of Japanese troops in front of him was far greater than his own judgment, Li He not only retreated because of the disparity in strength.

On the contrary, because of this discovery, he was even more excited after further confirming his judgment that the huge courtyard in front of him, which was composed of three courtyards of considerable size, was an important stronghold of the Japanese army in Tongliao City. For him, the number of troops is not a problem, but whether his opponent is worthy of his own attention is the key.

Before, I fought piecemeal in the opposite alley area, and solved a lot of small Japanese troops. But those scattered Japanese troops, which together were only more than 100 people, were just small fish and shrimp for him. The hundreds of Japanese troops in front of him are the real opponents who are worthy of weight for him.

As for the difference between all the forces that were close together around him at the moment, less than a hundred troops, and the difference between them and the large number of opponents, he didn't care. In his opinion, as long as the instructor led the team to rush over and defeat the Japanese troops in the rear of his flank, then even if there was a huge disparity in troops, it would be basically no problem for him to eat this Japanese army.
