The role of machine guns on the battlefield is self-evident, and in the absence of heavy weapons, the crooked handle is the only automatic firepower that the Eighth Route Army can confront the devils head-on.

Li Hao also wanted to allocate it to each infantry squad, so that the guerrillas could fight with an infantry squadron in terms of light firepower.

But when he thought of the amount of ammunition he had consumed on several large scales, he was secretly afraid, and then gave up this unrealistic idea.

"The crooked handle is too ammo-intensive, and we simply can't equip it on a large scale."

"There is one infantry squad in each infantry squad, and the whole company adds up to eleven guns, and with the fire platoon, it is seventeen."

"With so many crooked handles, five or six hundred bullets will be used up in one salvo!"

"We are not self-sufficient in ammunition and rely entirely on capture. Just that little ammunition reserve for seventeen crooked hands to fight, maybe a single battle will be used up! ”

Xiong Changhe also showed a helpless expression on his face.

"Although the performance of the crooked handle is not as good as that made in the Czech Republic, as long as the main and secondary shooters cooperate well, the speed of consuming bullets is not worse than that made in the Czech Republic!"

"I agree to equip the crooked handles to the platoon, and concentrate the remaining crooked handles into the fire platoon, and use them at critical moments!"

"It can not only ensure the firepower of the troops, but also save ammunition!"

Li Hao continued: "As for the troop strength you are worried about, it is indeed a big problem. ”

"But as long as we fight the first battle after the establishment of the guerrillas, and capture more puppet troops who are ready to go into the mountains to encircle and suppress us, this problem will be solved!"

In the Japanese stronghold in Hongquan Village, the puppet army commander Zhou Yunian looked excited.

Especially after seeing the three mortars and three heavy machine guns that the stronghold had strengthened for itself, the smile on his face became even stronger.

Although he is a hardcore traitor, he can be appreciated by the little devil and climb to the position of regiment commander step by step, and he still has a certain military command ability.

From the county seat to the stronghold of Hongquan Village, along the way, he was studying why the last time the main force of the Japanese army entered the mountains to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army, it failed.

It really made him discover some reasons.

He was confident that with three mortars, three heavy machine guns, and seven Czech-made in front of him, as long as he did not make the mistakes he made after the last Japanese army entered the mountains, there would be no problem in taking down the remnants of the Eighth Route Army hiding in the woods.

After taking a deep breath, Zhou Yunian began to order: "One battalion and one company are the forward troops of the whole army, and the troops are scattered to search and advance in infantry squads to ensure that there is no Eighth Route Army within 200 meters of the two wings of the main force!" ”

"Behind the second battalion and the sixth company, we guarantee that no Eighth Route Army will launch a surprise attack from behind us!"

"The first battalion and the second company are responsible for the vigilance of the left flank of the main force, and the fifth company of the second battalion is responsible for the vigilance of the right flank of the troops."

"The other troops will go in the middle, and we will go straight to the mountain pass that the Japanese army could not attack last time, and see if there is the Eighth Route Army we are looking for!"

After the order was issued, the regiment commander hesitated for a moment and continued to add: "In order to motivate the brothers to fight bravely to kill the enemy, the regiment commander now makes a promise to everyone, after the troops enter the mountain, kill a Eighth Route Army, and I will reward all the oceans with five pieces regardless of whether they live or die." ”

"I will reward ten pieces of the ocean for killing two Eighth Route Army, and the other officer will be promoted to one level: soldiers will be promoted to squad leader, squad leader will be promoted to platoon leader, and platoon commander will be promoted to company commander!"

"I will reward fifty yuan for killing five Eighth Route Army, and the officer will be promoted to two levels: the soldier will be directly promoted to platoon commander, and the highest can be directly promoted to deputy battalion commander!"

"Thank you, Tuanza!" The subordinates who gathered around shouted with their eyes lit up.

The head of the regiment, Zhou Yunian, was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and continued to order: "I order: the baggage team will bring supplies and supplies, and all of them will be transported by mules and horses, and we will set off into the mountain after dawn tomorrow." ”

The guerrilla secret camp, as long as there are active fighters, all stand in the open space in the middle of the secret camp, with a look of excitement.

Li Hao had just announced the order to merge the troops into the Lingqiu Anti-Japanese Guerrillas, and at the same time announced the order to expand the troops.

This meant that the guerrillas suddenly had more than a dozen squad leaders, and there was no one to hold the position.

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, this sentence applies not only to Li Hao, but also to other warrior cadres.

All the fighters stared at these dozen positions, especially those veterans, their expressions full of longing were directly expressed on their faces, and then stared at Li Hao, waiting for the following.

Li Hao did not disappoint them, and then began to announce the appointment.

"The superiors appointed me as the deputy leader of the guerrilla detachment, and temporarily acted as the leader of the guerrillas!"

"Comrade Liu Wenshan served as the guerrilla instructor, Comrade Hong Linfeng served as the deputy leader of the guerrillas, Comrade Jiang Tianhong served as the first platoon leader and first squad leader, Comrade Yang Ping served as the second platoon leader and fourth squad leader, and Zhao Wen served as the third platoon leader and seventh squad leader!"

"Comrade Xiao Yuan served as the guard squad leader, Dong Xulin served as the reconnaissance squad leader, Chen Bing served as the fire platoon leader, and Luo Tianpeng served as the cavalry platoon leader......"

"As for the remaining squad leaders and several platoon commanders who are also squad leaders, I will confirm it according to everyone's performance on the battlefield after this battle is over!"

The anticipation on everyone's faces immediately turned to disappointment, especially for veterans who had failed in their ideas.

But it didn't last long for the disappointment to turn back into an eagerness.

More than a dozen squad leaders are waiting for a vacancy, as long as they perform well, they will definitely be able to sit on them.

As soon as Li Hao was about to continue, Dong Xulin, the reconnaissance squad leader who had entered the state in advance, rushed over panting.

"Captain, the Japanese puppet army has entered the mountain!"

Li Hao decisively waved his hand to let him not continue, and then stared at his subordinates and ordered: "The troops will immediately replenish ammunition, bring two days' dry food, and stand by to prepare for the attack!" ”

"Instructor, Hong Linfeng, come with me!"

In the simple shack where the team headquarters was located, Dong Xulin calmed down a lot after drinking a large bowl of cold water, and began to report as soon as he got Li Hao's permission.

"Captain, as soon as the day dawns today, the puppet army will enter the mountain. There were more than 700 people in the puppet army, and there were less than a hundred devils, all artillerymen and machine gunners, with three mortars and three heavy machine guns! ”

"Haha...... Now our heavy machine guns and mortars have fallen! Li Hao suddenly shouted, looking excited.

Instructor Liu Wenshan and deputy captain Hong Linfeng are not so good-looking.

They knew the news that the Japanese puppet army was about to enter the mountain yesterday.

But after really confirming that this news is true, I can't help but feel nervous, because the enemy's strength is too strong.

Even if they are all puppet troops, the superiority of more than ten times the strength is there after all, and one person can drown the guerrillas with a mouthful of foaming stars.

What's more, they are all armed to the teeth, and there are also heavy machine guns and mortars equipped with devils, so it is even more difficult to deal with.

Not to mention the snatching of heavy machine guns and mortars, even defeating them is a problem.

Therefore, the two of them are not only not as confident as Li Hao, but they are full of worries.

Liu Wenshan couldn't help but remind at first: "Captain, the Japanese army plus the puppet army has more than 800 people, and if you want to snatch the heavy machine guns and mortars they are equipped with, it is tantamount to taking the rank of general in the army, which is too difficult, and I think it is almost impossible to achieve." ”

Li Hao doesn't think so, in his eyes, the puppet army is to send equipment, ammunition, and soldiers to the Eighth Route Army!

Although the combat effectiveness of some puppet armies is very strong, it is still far behind the Eighth Route Army. As long as you don't make some low-level mistakes that underestimate the enemy, there will definitely be no problem in taking them down!

This has been proven in the eight-year history of the Anti-Japanese War, after all, most of the soldiers in the puppet army are for the sake of eating, they are not desperate traitors, and they will not die hard for the devil and bury their lives!
