When it came to casualties, a trace of heartache clearly flashed on Zhao Wen's face.

Several battles took place under his nose today, and there were even three battles that he personally commanded, including two frontal resistance battles with the greatest casualties.

A fully formed infantry company was crippled by devils.

Even if it is replenished from the recruit company, it will take two days to regain combat effectiveness.

But Zhao Wen had no choice.

If he was asked to choose again, in the face of the battle situation at that time, he would still not hesitate to order the troops to hold their positions.

The situation is too critical, and a single mistake can lead to the failure of the troops' previous blockade.

Everyone in the independent battalion knew that the devils entered the mountains to arrest the common people, but they didn't expect their determination to be so strong.

Completely ignoring the harassment and blocking along the way, regardless of the mines planted in advance on the ground, he struck forward with his head down.

If it weren't for the two hard-fought blocking battles that blocked the momentum of their assault, the Japanese puppet army that entered the mountain would definitely be able to catch up with many ordinary people who had no time to transfer.

Seeing that Zhao Wen had not spoken, Liu Wenxuan was anxious and continued: "Battalion commander, you have something to say!" ”

"I think that the independent battalion has been passively beaten during the day today, and in order to prevent the devils from catching up with the people, they will fight a battle when they see the favorable terrain, and they have no time to think about other issues."

"With the devil's station as the center, there are at least four hiding places for ordinary people within a radius of thirty kilometers."

"If they are all exposed, and the Japanese puppet soldiers will kill these hiding places in four ways, we can only be forced to divide our troops, and we will continue to fight with them in the same way as today."

"I can't imagine: after a day of fighting like this, what will be left of our independent battalion."

"If the independent battalion is destroyed, and the common people are targeted, we will be completely helpless, and watch the villagers fall into the clutches of little devils."

Zhao Wen couldn't sit still, and replied categorically: "Everyone knows the purpose of the devil catching the people, whether it is for the villagers not to be poisoned, or for ourselves, we must not let a fellow villager fall into the hands of the devil." ”

"Instructor, you are right, we can no longer be led by the nose by the Japanese puppet army, we must regain the initiative on the battlefield in our own hands, control the rhythm of the battle, bring the Japanese puppet army to the battlefield we have prepared, and fight according to our ideas."

"You immediately send someone to contact the four surrounding hiding places, order the local troops, the guerrillas, and organize the villagers to continue to move deeper into the mountains when they receive the order, and go as far as possible."

After giving the order, Zhao Wen strode to the side of the map.

The specific locations of the four hiding [new] hiding points were clearly marked on it, and after looking at it for a while, he analyzed: "The farthest hiding point doesn't need to be considered." ”

"The villagers can move ten kilometers at will, and it will be beyond the range of thirty kilometers."

"In order to avoid a night fight with us, the devil will definitely not run that far."

"You don't have to think about this hiding place in the south, this mountain is very big, and if the villagers move ten kilometers deep into the mountains, it will be as difficult for the devils to find them as if they were looking for a needle in a haystack."

"What we need to protect are the villagers who are left in the two hiding places."

"They are more than ten kilometers away from the camp of the Japanese puppet army, and they can be killed in two hours by marching in a hurry, and even if they return to the station before dark, they can be active in the mountains for nearly five hours, and if the villagers do not move in advance, the chance of being caught is more than seventy percent."

"Don't worry about it now, I let the villagers move overnight, and the chance of the devil catching them after entering the mountain will drop to less than thirty percent."

"If you can find a way to confuse the devils and let them take the wrong route, then the chance of catching the villagers will definitely drop to less than 10%, or even zero."

"Without the worries of the common people, the Japanese puppet army is marching in the mountains again, and it is difficult to return the initiative on the battlefield to us."

"The troops can take advantage of the favorable terrain to greet the Japanese puppet army entering the mountain, instead of passively blocking it all the time during the day today. Not to mention the small results of the battle, the casualties of the troops were still very large, and the gains outweighed the losses. ”

Liu Wenxuan stared at the map and deduced the battalion commander's new plan little by little.

After Zhao Wen finished speaking, it took five minutes to finish the deduction, the worry on his face didn't know when it had disappeared, the smile returned to his face, and he said happily: "Battalion commander, this plan is feasible." ”

"As long as we arrange our troops, we will definitely win a big victory."

"I also thought of a way to confuse the devils: the villagers had a large number of bottles and cans that they didn't have time to take away from the hiding place, let the troops pick up some and throw them away all the way in the direction we wanted the devils to go, and by the way, order the local troops and guerrillas to erase the traces left by the villagers when they moved."

"After the Japanese puppet army finds the hiding place, they will definitely chase along the bottles and cans we have dropped."

"Then the folks will be completely safe."

"Report!"

The operator suddenly ran over and interrupted.

"Battalion commander, instructor, regimental headquarters urgently telegraphed: A transport team came out of Huailai County this morning to transport heavy ammunition and artillery, judging from the current direction of marching, they are coming to our side and will enter the base area tomorrow morning."

"There are 400 escort troops and heavy soldiers, and the regimental headquarters has asked us to destroy this batch of supplies."

"God help me...... Zhao Wen almost jumped up excitedly: "Instructor, with this transport team, the initiative on the battlefield will definitely be able to return to us, and we can't run away if we want to." ”

"The casualties of the company are too great to participate in tomorrow's operation."

"Stay here with the recruit company, and restore combat effectiveness while monitoring the Japanese puppet army."

"The second company, the third company is responsible for protecting the people in the mountain."

"Fight according to the plan I just made, find a way to change the passive to the active, and properly greet the Japanese puppet army who entered the mountain, and avenge the comrades who died today."

"The guard company, the fire company, the baggage company, and the second company of recruits that have just been established, follow me to deal with the devil transport team."

At six o'clock in the morning, the captain was woken up.

The command had just received a telegram from the garrison of the blockade line, informing them that the convoy had entered the garrison base area.

In the eyes of the co-captain, today is a very important day since the sweep.

According to last night's plan, the troops will have a good fight with the Laiyuan Independent Battalion today.

After being woken up, I didn't feel sleepy at all, and went directly to the headquarters to prepare for today's battle.

"Wing Commander, this is the battle plan we made last night." The Chief of Staff presented a document in front of the Wing Commander.

"The garrison regiment has a precedent of completely annihilating the imperial army and a reinforced brigade, and in order to avoid accidents, it has organized two sorties of troops."

"The troops attacking all the way include a reinforced brigade of the Imperial Army and a regiment of the Imperial Allied Army, with a total of more than 2,000 people."

"After the troops are dispatched, they can only move within 30 kilometers of the station, and they must retreat before 3 p.m."

Seeing the wing captain nod approvingly, the chief of staff continued: "Now there is a problem. ”

"Intelligence services and scouts found a total of four hiding spots within a 30-kilometer radius, and each hiding place gathered the people of several villages."

"The exact location has been marked on the map, and it is up to you, Wing Commander, to decide which two hiding spots to choose as our targets."
