Under the cover of night, a team of more than 3,000 people was walking through the woods.

Most of the fighters were not equipped with weapons, but everyone carried something on their shoulders.

The ammunition box full of bullets was carried by one person, and the ammunition box full of shells was carried by two people, stretching for nearly two kilometers.

Li Hao walked in the middle of the ranks, with only one guard platoon by his side, marching on foot like a soldier, without riding a horse.

Although I was tired, my face was happy.

The performance of these reinforcements was greatly unexpected.

Carrying dozens of pounds of things on a hurried march, only a handful of people fell behind in the middle.

Explain that after this period of recruit training, their execution, discipline, and physical strength are ...... In many respects, the standard of a qualified fighter has been reached, and the replenishment of troops will be able to participate in the battle.

At three o'clock in the morning, several torches suddenly appeared at the end of the mountain road, and then kept approaching the procession.

Soon, Huang Sheng's familiar figure appeared in Li Hao's field of vision.

"Report to the regiment commander, the third battalion commander Huang Sheng was ordered to report."

Looking at the other party's expression, Li Hao knew that the third battalion did not suffer losses in the guerrilla zone.

He replied very satisfied: "I have read your battle report, you played well, and I am very satisfied." I hope that tonight and the next battle, you can also hand in a satisfactory answer to me. ”

"I'll get all the stations you have prepared."

"I have brought more than 3,600 reinforcements in total, and I must have been tired and in need of rest after a night's journey."

Being praised by the head of the regiment in person, Huang Sheng was the first time, and he quickly replied excitedly: "Don't worry, the head of the regiment, you are ready." ”

"The meals are also ready, they were all seized from the devil's stronghold in the middle of the night."

"When the guerrillas returned from the battlefield, I arranged for the cooking class and the guerrillas to cook for them, ensuring that everyone ate well, slept well, and then had enough physical strength to fight devils."

Li Hao nodded and ordered directly: "Then let's go directly to the station." ”

"After arriving, I immediately contacted the two battalion commanders, Zhang Yun and Liu Senyun, and asked them to set off overnight and rush to the station at eight o'clock in the morning for a meeting."

"Yes, Captain."

Facing the giant of the independent mixed brigade, the pressure on Li Hao's shoulders was unprecedented.

As he said at the regiment headquarters, hundreds of thousands of ordinary people stood behind him, and this battle could only be won, not lost.

Once an accident occurs, it means that thousands of soldiers and civilians in the base area will fall to the ground because of this.

This price he cannot afford.

Less than three hours after entering the station to rest, Zhang Yun and Liu Senyun came.

"Comrades, the opponent we are going to face this time should be clear to everyone, it is very powerful, and it has already rushed over with murderous spirit. If nothing else, there will be troops fighting them this afternoon. ”

Li Hao's opening remarks were very direct, he did not exaggerate himself and belittle the enemy in order to improve the morale of the troops, and directly said the true strength of the opponent.

None of the three battalion commanders spoke.

Everyone had a smile on their faces when they greeted each other just now, but now they all became solemn and their brows were tightly knit.

The Independent Mixed Brigade hasn't fought yet, but they've all heard about it.

Especially last night's battle.

Several guerrilla detachments tried to attack their garrisons by night raids, but all of them returned in vain, and they also lost their wives and soldiers, losing nearly 100 guerrillas.

They all knew the battle very well.

Several captains who commanded the battle were guerrilla masters, and the whole night attack was arranged seamlessly, but in the end it failed.

They all had assumptions that if they had led the team by themselves at that time, the result would definitely not have changed much, and they still lost their wives and soldiers.

The night battles that the Eighth Route Army was best at were all ineffective in front of this army, which shows how powerful this opponent is.

Although they haven't really met and fought each other yet, the hearts of the three battalion commanders are already full of jealousy and concerns.

There was also the battle last night when the garrison regiment took the initiative to attack the remaining strongholds in the guerrilla zone.

Because Nakata Yamaro ordered the troops to retreat in time, the entire attack basically stopped in the second half of the night.

The attacking troops from all walks of life held back their strength, wanting to seize the opportunity to change their superiority and kill a few more devils.

But in the face of the stronghold where people went to the empty building, the punch they made with all their strength was like hitting cotton, weak, and there was nothing they could do.

None of the three main battalions lived up to combat expectations.

In particular, the number of enemies destroyed was not even half of the battle plan.

This accident made them realize once again the cunning and sophistication of Nakata Yama.

A strong and very difficult force is already difficult to deal with.

Now with the addition of a commander who is experienced in combat and joins forces, the overall combat effectiveness will definitely rise and multiply.

In the face of such an opponent, the pressure on everyone's shoulders can be imagined.

This is a picture that Li Hao has long expected.

When a strong enemy attacked, he was not 100% sure of winning this battle, let alone a few battalion commanders under his command.

After taking a deep breath, Li Hao continued to speak: "The enemy is very strong, I don't deny this. ”

"The possibility of defeating this strong enemy with only the strength of the guerrilla zone is almost zero, and even I, the regiment commander, have no confidence."

"Therefore, in the next battle, I don't ask everyone to defeat the independent mixed brigade and complete a task that cannot be completed at all."

After saying this, Li Hao obviously felt that the dark color of the three people was much more relaxed.

This is the result that Li Hao is looking forward to.

In the face of a strong enemy, we must first seek truth from facts to understand each other, know ourselves and know the other, and then build confidence.

You can't lose confidence and lose the courage to defeat your opponent just because the opponent is too strong.

In this case, the garrison lost the battle before it even began.

Li Hao decided to continue to improve their confidence and morale in defeating their opponents.

After thinking for a while, he asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, it seems that all three of you are from the old Red Army."

Zhang Yun was the first to speak: "Report to the regiment commander, I was a platoon commander during the Red Army, and I also served as a deputy company commander. ”

Huang Sheng replied: "Report to the regiment commander, I was the deputy company commander during the Red Army. ”

"Report to the regiment commander, I was a company commander during the Red Army, and when the unit was reorganized, I became a platoon commander because of the downsizing."

Li Hao replied with satisfaction: "Since they are all old Red Army soldiers and cadres, guerrilla warfare is certainly not new to you, and it is rotten to the bones, and you can fight it with your eyes closed." ”

Seeing that the three battalion commanders nodded in agreement, Li Hao continued.

"Since you are all masters of guerrilla warfare, let's compare yourself with the devil's independent mixed brigade to see who is the ancestor of guerrilla warfare, and it is better."

The expressions of the three battalion commanders changed exactly the same.

The first reaction was to be happy, and his eyes lit up.

But soon the heat in his eyes was gone, and he became dark again.

Because they all thought of the battle in which the guerrillas faced the independent mixed brigade last night and finally returned with a crushing defeat.
