Just when everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that tonight's routine report summary meeting was coming to an end.

Watanabe Nakasa changed his words and continued: "This afternoon, the forward troops were attacked by an unknown enemy, and everyone should know about the heavy casualties of the troops, right? ”

"Hey......" Several squadron leaders were stunned for a moment before answering.

I didn't expect the captain to pay attention to such a trivial matter at the summary meeting.

Watanabe Nakasa obviously saw everyone's inner thoughts, and asked with a serious face: "Do you all think that this matter is too small to be worth mentioning, and it shouldn't appear at the summary meeting at all!" ”

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, but they all nodded in acquiescence, Watanabe Nakasa continued.

"To tell you that the people who have this idea are wrong, this is not a small matter. In my opinion, this is a big thing that deserves everyone's attention and thinking! ”

"We found on the battlefield bullet casings that the enemy had not had time to take with them in retreat and the traces left by their ambush positions!"

"There are Empire-made six-five-caliber bullet casings inside, and there are seven-nine-caliber bullet casings!"

"A unit is equipped with two different caliber weapons, and more importantly, this unit is not very many, judging from the traces left on the battlefield, the total strength of the enemy's sneak attack on the forward troops is only fifty or sixty people, but it is equipped with eight or nine machine guns!"

"With so many machine guns and two different caliber weapons, don't you see something?"

"The enemy who sneaked up on our forward troops must be the Eighth Route Army!" One of the squadron leaders stood up and replied.

"Among the Chinese troops active in this area, whether it is the Jin Sui Army or the Central Army, they all have their own standard weapons, and in order to facilitate the supply of ammunition, they will not be equipped with the six or five caliber weapons of the imperial army!"

"Only the Eighth Route Army, because of its poor equipment and lack of replenishment, will equip the weapons captured by the imperial army on the battlefield!"

Watanabe Nakasa agreed with his subordinates' analysis, nodded and continued to ask.

"However, according to intelligence, there is no active main force of the Eighth Route Army in this area!"

"Also, the equipment of the Eighth Route Army is very poor, and a company can be equipped with a machine gun to be considered the main force. And what does it mean that this Eighth Route Army we encountered was less than a company, but it was armed with eight or nine light machine guns? ”

The squadron leader of the first squadron who spoke just now frowned, thought for a few seconds and shouted.

"It must be the Eighth Route Army that we want to sweep up that knows the news that we are going to attack them in advance, and dispatches an elite force to ambush us on the road we must pass through in advance, harass us along the way, and sabotage our sweeping plan!"

"That's a very good answer, and that's how I came to the conclusion!" Watanabe Nakasa praised without hesitation.

Eyes said after looking at the other subordinates one by one.

"Now you know why I mentioned this little thing in your opinion!"

"Although we haven't killed the so-called base of the Eighth Route Army yet, the Eighth Route Army has already known our purpose and sent troops to kill it, and it is lurking around us!"

"The orders given to us by the military department have repeatedly emphasized that the Eighth Route Army is good at ambush warfare, night warfare, and guerrilla warfare!"

"Ambush warfare, we have seen it this afternoon, concentrating superior forces and firepower, a burst of firepower raid will kill our forward troops, and if they are hit, they will retreat, and they will not give us a chance to counterattack at all, and they will kill more than a dozen of our imperial troops with zero casualties, and in terms of results, it is worthy of its name."

"If I'm not wrong, they won't stop tonight and continue to attack us with the night raid they're good at!"

"That's why I asked the deputy captain to strengthen the vigilance tonight, and spread dark posts around the temporary station to prevent the enemy from sneaking up!"

"By daylight tomorrow, the Eighth Route Army, which has no forward troops to ambush them, will definitely continue to attack us with guerrilla warfare that they are good at!"

"So from now on, all troops must work hard to deal with our enemy, and we must not underestimate the enemy, hear it clearly!"

Several subordinates suddenly replied: "It's clear! ”

Watanabe Nakasa, who was not at ease, continued to explain: "The night raid we saw in the afternoon caused us to lose a combat detachment, although the strength is not large, but it is a shame for our entire brigade. ”

"Because these imperial troops were killed by them under the noses of our main forces."

"Tonight, I don't want to see the night attack of the Eighth Road cause us another loss!"

"Even if our soldiers die in battle, they should die on the battlefield, not be killed inexplicably without even seeing the opponent clearly!"

Watanabe Nakasa is very cautious and cunning, and he can see so many things in an ambush battle that is too small to be small, which shows how extraordinary his ability is, otherwise he would not have served as the captain of the night infantry brigade with the rank of Nakasa.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the lively temporary station of the Japanese puppet army slowly quieted down.

The soldiers sat around the campfire, and several people leaned together and began to rest.

In addition to the crackling bonfire and the footsteps of the patrol soldiers, all that remained of the station was the sound of whirring wind that filled the entire station.

In the middle of the bushes a kilometer away, Li Hao and Hong Linfeng held binoculars and stared at the Japanese puppet army garrison for ten minutes.

"Captain, is there really a secret sentry arranged by the little devils around the station? How come I didn't find anything! Hong Linfeng asked with a skeptical expression.

Then he stared at Li Hao with a look on his face, eager to try and said, "Do you want me to bring a row and touch it over!" ”

"If there is a secret post, I promise to retreat as soon as I meet the enemy!"

Li Hao scolded angrily: "When you withdraw, there will definitely be less than half of the troops left in a full platoon!" ”

"Look at the outposts that the Japanese army has arranged around the station, each post has at least one crooked handle and three riflemen, and there is only a few dozen meters between the post. Also, they had a heavy machine gun at each sentry post. ”

"This means that no matter where we attack, we will be frantically suppressed and strafed by the Japanese army's three crooked handles and one 92-style!"

"By the way, and the blows of dozens of riflemen nearby!"

"Do you think one of our platoons can get out of the way with so much firepower?"

"Definitely not!" Hong Linfeng shook his head and replied.

But he didn't give up, and continued to ask: "But captain, that assumption you just made has preconditions!" ”

"The Japanese army has set up a large number of secret posts around the position to detect us in advance!"

"Without this premise, the result would have been diametrically opposed!"

"We successfully raided a Japanese outpost, caught the Japanese by surprise, and retreated when we hit, not giving the Japanese a chance to counterattack!"

Li Hao didn't put down the binoculars, and pointed to a pile of bushes a few hundred meters away.

"I know you're not convinced, so I'm going to convince you today...... Staring at that pile of bushes, there's a devil sentry in there, I just saw them move! ”

Hong Linfeng was shocked and hurriedly raised his binoculars.

After staring at him for ten minutes, his eyes were a little painful, and Hong Linfeng finally saw the bushes moving.

The action was small, but he still caught it.

Then the whole person was convinced: "Captain, you're right, these devils are more powerful than we imagined, they really set up a secret whistle!" ”

Li Hao nodded and ordered: "Since the close-range raid is no longer feasible, then we will act according to the original plan......

"On the artillery platoon, if there is no gun, first fire a three-shot rapid fire, ready to fire!"
