Seeing that Li Hao had not mentioned the seized weapons and ammunition, Peng Yunfeng was anxious

The troops were frightened, and it was impossible not to see so many weapons and ammunition at once, as well as a lot of heavy weapons.

After hesitating for a long time, he asked hard.

"Battalion Commander Li, what to do with those weapons and ammunition?"

Li Hao didn't answer, thought for a while and asked, "Your battalion should have soldiers who can use mortars and heavy machine guns!" ”

"Yes!" Peng Yunfeng replied immediately!

After hearing this, Li Hao no longer hesitated: "All four mortars will be left in your first battalion, and I will give you two more, a total of six mortars to form two artillery platoons." All three heavy machine guns are yours, form a heavy machine gun platoon, and then mix them into a fire company! ”

"If the troops are not enough, they will be drawn from among the captives, but we must ensure that they are willing to join our Eighth Route Army!"

"You leave all the light machine guns behind, and ensure that each infantry platoon and direct squad has at least one."

"The rifle will not move first, the troops are now more numerous and less guns, and it is not only useless but a burden to carry with it, and all of them will be handed over to our independent battalion baggage company for management. We still have a combat mission tonight, and when this counter-sweep is over, I'll send you 500 rifles to bring back!" ”

"As for the ammunition, you can make up for the loss of the battle just now. I'm sure we're going to have a tough battle tonight, so I'm asking for at least one hundred and twenty rifle rounds and two grenades for each rifleman, 1,000 rounds for light machine guns, and 2,000 rounds for heavy machine guns! ”

"The extra ones will be handed over to the baggage company along with the rifles."

Peng Yunfeng was stunned, and it took a long time to react.

Although the 1st battalion of the reconnaissance platoon was the main force in the just-concluded raid, the role of the reconnaissance platoon was immeasurable.

There are also reinforcements from the independent battalion, without their cooperation, this raid battle would definitely not have ended so successfully. ”

Therefore, in Peng Yunfeng's eyes, the independent battalion accounted for at least half of the contribution to this battle.

It is customary for seizures to be divided according to merit.

Therefore, if a battalion can get half of these weapons and ammunition, Peng Yunfeng is very satisfied.

But he didn't expect Li Hao to give himself all the heavy weapons, and also added two mortars, and directly let himself set up a fire company.

I never dreamed that a battalion would one day be able to form a firepower company, after all, many of the main forces did not have a firepower company in a regiment, and I only had a main battalion.

Now come to the independent battalion, not only kill the six or seven hundred puppet troops in one battle, but also get such a great credit, and the loss is very small, but also the firepower company is formed.

All this is like a dream for Peng Yunfeng, very unreal.

Seeing Li Hao stunned for a long time, Peng Yunfeng reacted from the surprise, and then he was not polite, and immediately replied: "Thank you, Battalion Commander Li, I will go back to the ugly people to form a firepower company now." ”

Li Hao nodded and ordered: "The speed must be fast, no accidents, your firepower company will go to the battlefield tonight!" ”

The next day, the base area was surprisingly quiet, and Watanabe couldn't even touch a cold gun except for mines.

All this puzzled Watanabe, but he did not choose to retreat and end this counter-sweep.

This decision was not made by him on the spur of the moment, but after rational analysis and careful consideration.

Although the troops led by him suffered more than half of the casualties, their strength was still there.

Six mountain guns were intact, as well as three armored vehicles, a cavalry squadron......

After dawn, the air force will send at least one plane to cruise over everyone's head to protect everyone......

These are the confidence of Watanabe Shaoza's decision to continue fighting!

Of course, Watanabe's biggest confidence is not here.

In his eyes, the three-way feint troops are still there, although there is no news from them, but no news is good news for him.

As long as the three-way feint troops continue to hold back the three main companies of the independent battalion, there will be no problem with their own safety.

Of course, Watanabe is not without any concerns.

Last night, Independence sneaked up on his own troops, apparently more than he had judged, and Watanabe racked his brains to figure out where these troops came from.

This is Watanabe's only worry, he is deeply afraid that the independent battalion still has hidden troops that he does not know.

Still, Watanabe decided to plug it up.

Just retreating like this and ending the sweep, Watanabe can imagine the attitude of his superiors towards him.

They will be completely disappointed in themselves, and even if they don't take advantage of this, they will lose the opportunity to return to the main force.

Such a result is something Watanabe cannot afford.

So he decided to take a gamble, even if the independent battalion really still had hidden troops, after losing the three main companies, they would not be able to threaten him.

"Sir, five kilometers ahead is the largest village in the vicinity, there are more than 200 households, and there is no problem for the entire army to live in the village!" The adjutant caught up with Watanabe and reported.

"Then we'll camp in this village tonight!" Watanabe decided.

"Ordinary villages have an earthen wall around them to defend against wild beasts and bandits, and this village is so big, there must be one!"

"For us, this earthen wall is a wall when it is used well."

"Order the troops to build fortifications on this earthen wall as soon as they enter the village, I want our garrison tonight to be stronger than Tietong, so that the independent battalion will not be able to sneak up on us!"

"Hey!" The adjutant replied immediately.

The assembly place of the independent battalion, Watanabe's every move did not escape the eyes of the reconnaissance platoon and the commando.

As soon as they entered the village, the floor plan of the entire village was sent to Li Hao.

"Battalion commander, this is the plan I asked the village guerrillas to draw, and I also called their captain, which should help with tonight's attack!" Xiao Yuan pointed to a veteran beside him and introduced.

"Hello battalion commander! Liang Wen, the leader of the Li Tiancun guerrillas, was ordered to report, please instruct! The guerrilla leader reported with an excited face, apparently not expecting that he would have the opportunity to meet the battalion commander after leaving the unit.

"Sit down, I've driven more than ten miles of mountain roads, I must not have eaten yet! Let's eat and talk! Li Hao replied with a serious face.

"Captain Liang, you refer to the map and tell me all the distribution of houses in the village, the more detailed the better!"

"No problem!" Liang Wen replied confidently.

"I've been in Litian Village for a few months, and I usually like to wander around the village when I'm fine, and I remember every wall in the village clearly!"

After listening to Liang Wen's introduction, Li Hao's originally serious face flashed with solemnity.

I have to admit that Watanabe is a very good commander, and Li Tamura chose this station very well.

A circle of earthen enclosures half a meter wide and two meters high is like a city wall, which can provide the best cover for the Japanese puppet army inside.

A few firing holes were dug out of the earthen fence, and a machine gun was put on it, that is, a bunker, used for defense, how suitable?

The village is surrounded by fields and can be seen in full view, and there is no forest to cover at least 500 meters.

This means that if the attacking troops are discovered, they will be exposed to the fire of the defenders, and then they will have to attack at the bullets they fire!

With such terrain and fortifications, it is difficult for the troops to take down the remaining troops of Watanabe through a strong attack, and every problem is difficult to solve.
