Chapter 31: It's Done!
Seeing that the phone rang suddenly, Li Hai was stunned for a moment, and even Li Xiangbei, who was looking for Li Hai, was also stunned.
Within seconds, the two made eye contact.
Pick up? Or don't pick up?
Obviously, this call will definitely not be given to them by their superiors, but by other devils to the devils in this stronghold.
Just when Li Xiangbei decided not to care, Li Hai, who hesitated for a while, quickly picked up the microphone and didn't have time for Li Xiangbei to open his mouth to stop it.
"Moximoxi!"
Soon a voice came from the microphone, "This is the Daquan Detachment Headquarters in Sanyin County, let your squad leader, Second Lieutenant Ito, answer the phone." ”
Oizumi detachment?
Li Hai is no stranger to this detachment, because during this time, the 2nd Battalion was mainly dealing with this Daquan detachment, and the safety of the road from Shanyin County to Datong City was the responsibility of the Daquan detachment.
Originally, with the strength of the Daquan detachment, it should not have done such a thing, but there was no way, who made it suffer such a big loss, and even the Eighth Route Bureau, which was outdated, could not defeat it, and even the above did not believe in the combat effectiveness of this Daquan detachment.
Second Lieutenant Ito?
Lehi knew who it was, it was the commander of the devil in this stronghold, his full name was Taro Ito, and he had seen it when he was inspecting the corpses of Japanese soldiers.
"Sir, Captain Ito is not in the stronghold!"
The voice in the microphone was a little confused, "Ensign Ito is not here?" Who are you? ”
Fortunately, Lehi remembered the names of some devils, "Report sir, I am Private 1st Class of Exit Xinyi. ”
"Where did your squad leader go?"
"Our chief took people to a nearby village to collect food, and he will be back soon."
"Collecting food?" The person in the microphone is not a fool, and he has guessed what this so-called collection of food is for, the place where the Ito team is stationed is not a prosperous place, and nine times out of ten they are going to have fun, thinking of this, the voice on the other side of the microphone is a little angry, "Yaga, this is an unauthorized desertion." Send someone to call Ensign Ito back, and say that in two hours, a convoy will pass by your stronghold and will need your escort. ”
Transport fleet? Escort?
Lehi's heart pounded.
As for the situation of the devil's transport convoy, they have also figured it out during this time.
The convoy heading south from Datong not only included the accompanying Japanese troops, but also the Japanese troops who protected the safety of the transportation route along the way, and sent some soldiers to escort them to the next stronghold.
The reason for this is because the Eighth Route Army has been sneaking up on the devil's transportation line for this time, which seriously affects the operation on the Xinkou front.
But the retreat from Xinkou to the north will generally not be escorted by strongholds along the way, because there is nothing particularly valuable.
And the Sixth Company didn't ambush this kind of convoy very much, because there was no oil and water, and it was easy to startle the snake and cause a commotion.
But the convoy that was going to arrive an hour later actually had to be escorted by Japanese troops along the way, and it was obvious that the convoy was pulling something important, so it was like this.
Although he wasn't sure what it was, he thought that he was still waiting for his reply on the other side of the microphone, so he quickly replied, "Hey, I'll go to the team leader right away." ”
"Yo Xi, remember to respond well, otherwise your team leader will look good!"
"Hey!"
Hearing that the phone was hung up, Lehi put down the microphone.
Seeing the company commander with a puzzled face standing in front of him, without waiting for the other party to speak, he took the lead, "Company commander, there is a big deal, do you want to do it?" ”
"What's the big deal?" Li Xiangbei looked puzzled.
"On the phone just now, the devils in Shanyin County said that a devil transport convoy would pass by here in two hours, and they also named the devils who needed this stronghold to escort them.
Company commander, you should know what this means! Li Hai looked at Li Xiangbei intently.
Li Xiangbei was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized, raised his hand and pointed at Li Hai, "You mean that this team has good things?" ”
Lehi nodded, "This is the only possibility." There are no more than three kinds of good things, one is the devil's wounded soldiers, who need to be sent to the hospital in Datong to recuperate; the second is the good things that the devil grabbed from the south, which may be money or something; The third is the weapons and ammunition captured by the devils on the front line.
As long as it's not the first one, we earn. ”
Is the Eighth Route Army poor? Very poor!
Is the Eighth Route Army short of weapons? More missing!
This big deal means that there is a two-thirds probability that it is urgently needed by the Eighth Route Army.
Of course, if you run into the first one, it's not unacceptable, and it's not bad to kill more devils.
Li Xiangbei was not a man who was stunned, and although he also thought that Li Hai's guess was most likely correct, he still called the instructor, the deputy company commander, and the other three platoon commanders.
And there is no shortage of hesitation, after all, there are devils escorting, which means that there are a lot of devils, if there are too many devils, they can't eat at all.
Lehi made a suggestion.
"We can do this, first find a devil to ambush the way to go. If the devil is not easy to deal with, then stop doing it; If the devil's forces are not too many, we will do it.
We happened to have captured a lot of goodies, and there were dozens of gas bombs, all of which could come in handy. ”
Lehi's suggestion made these people a little moved, and they quickly agreed, but some people also raised questions.
"Where shall we set up an ambush?"
Lehi quickly swept over the devil's map, and then pointed to a place called Hujialing according to the situation of his own and others' reconnaissance during this time.
"Hujialing, this place is only six or seven miles away from us, and we can arrive in twenty minutes on a rapid march, and the remaining time is enough for us to prepare for an ambush.
Moreover, this place is close to the stronghold, and the vigilance of the Japanese army will also be very poor, so it is the best place to ambush. Further south, the time may be too rushed, and it is not appropriate.
Company commander, what are you doing? ”
After speaking, Li Hai looked at Li Xiangbei, whether he fought or not, he still had to look at the other party.
After all, this battle is very dangerous, of course, if you win, the gain will be great.
Li Xiangbei thought about it for a while, and slapped it heavily on the table, "Just do it, I don't believe it, our current equipment really can't do this devil, it's a big deal if we can't retreat." ”
Li Xiangbei made up his mind, and everyone quickly began to act, except for leaving a squad to watch this stronghold temporarily, mainly because there were still some loot here that had not been moved, and someone had to be left to watch.
Others rushed to the ambush site.
The highway through which the devil's transport convoy passed was at the foot of this Hujialing, and of course it did not cross Hujialing, because Hujialing was just a small hillside that crisscrossed from north to south, and the highway was on the east side of Hujialing.
On the east side of the highway is a forest with many grave mounds, which is obviously a treasure of feng shui.
If it's just this forest, there is a hole in this vicinity, after all, now the leaves are all gone, and they are just bare, and they can't hide it at all.
If they had only set up an ambush on the side of the hill, the Japanese would have been able to flee to the woods.
However, these mounds, with the white snow, can still hide many people.
Although there is some disrespect for the deceased, it is all for the sake of fighting devils, and I believe it can be forgiven.
