In front of the enemy's headquarters in Wushanwa, the radio began to flash red lights as soon as it was dawn.

Zhou Liang put down his headphones after a few minutes, and hurriedly walked to Li Hao's side to report: "Regiment commander, political commissar is in an emergency, the Japanese puppet army operating in our base area will start withdrawing as soon as dawn." ”

Hong Linfeng was so happy that he almost jumped up, and shouted excitedly: "Commander, our judgment is right. ”

"With no ammunition in hand, their revenge won't last long."

"We've been here for so long, and we've finally waited for the little devil."

"That's really good news!" A smile flashed at the corner of Li Hao's mouth.

But it quickly disappeared, and he analyzed with a serious face: "But we can't be happy too soon." ”

"It is undeniable that in the next battle, in addition to the terrain advantage in our hands, the superiority in strength and firepower are all in the hands of the devils, and any accident may lead to our defeat."

Hong Linfeng's expression also became serious, and he looked at Li Hao and replied: "Rest assured, the regiment commander, all the participating troops of the garrison regiment and the independent regiment are all lurking in place according to the battle plan. I have explained the combat mission to Commander Zhou several times, and there will definitely be no leaks. ”

Li Hao shook his head: "I'm not worried about the troops here. ”

"The fighters have rested for several days, they are full of energy, they are well equipped, they have plenty of ammunition, and they will definitely be able to catch the devil by surprise."

"But we have less than 2,000 people, and the devils have more than 5,000 people, and the disparity in strength is too great, and relying on ourselves is tantamount to a snake swallowing an elephant."

"So in my battle plan, the troops commanded by Zhao Wen should also be involved."

"They have been active around the Japanese puppet army, fighting day and night, transferring, and they must be very tired."

"There is also the composition of their troops, because of the large casualties, many comrades are prisoners who have just been replenished."

"Whether Zhao Wen can lead the troops to move in place on time and successfully complete the combat tasks given to them by the command is the key to whether we can win this battle."

"There is another worry, our troops participating in the battle are too few, in order to narrow the huge gap between the strength of the enemy and our army, and reduce the combat pressure of the soldiers, all the troops that can be on the battlefield will participate in the battle, leaving no reserves."

"This means that if any unit on the battlefield has an accident, we have no troops to reinforce it, so we can only rely on themselves."

The expression on Hong Linfeng's face became more and more serious, he and Commander Zhou had seen the battle plan, and it was indeed the case.

At first they didn't agree.

In his eyes, leaving no reserves on the battlefield is equivalent to leaving no way out for himself, either win or lose, and there is no third situation.

It's like a gamble that puts all your lives on the line, and it's too risky.

But after listening to Li Hao's explanation, they painfully found that this battle had to be fought like this.

If the devils are allowed to leave the base area, the Japanese puppet army, which is still strong, will be able to launch a new round of sweeps as long as they gather up the ammunition supply, and it will not take a week.

At that time, the garrison was certainly not restored.

More importantly, after the lessons brought about by this defeat, the Japanese puppet army that has returned from the battle will definitely pay special attention to the logistical burden and not give the garrison any opportunity to take advantage of.

The frontal hard shoulder is not an opponent, and the logistics line has no opportunity to take advantage of, in the face of a new round of heavy sweep by the Japanese puppet army, the garrison regiment will be defeated.

Take out all the strength of the garrison regiment and gamble with the devils to fight this battle.

Even if they lose, the garrison can bite a piece of meat from the devils and hit them hard.

If you want to attack the garrison again, in addition to gathering enough baggage and ammunition, you must also make up for the loss of troops.

With the current strength of the Japanese army in North China, it will take at least three months to do it.

With a three-month buffer period, even if the garrison loses the battle and loses its troops, it can take the opportunity to do a lot of things, and it should be easy to break up the next round of sweeps of the Japanese puppet army from other means.

In case of victory, the heavily battered Japanese puppet army will not be able to attack the garrison for at least a year.

This long time is enough for the garrison to recover its strength, meet greater challenges, and even take Datong.......

With this thought, although they knew that the garrison had taken a huge risk in fighting this battle, the two still chose to support it without hesitation.

Seeing that Hong Linfeng's expression was constantly changing, Li Hao directly began to order: "Call back to the political commissar immediately." ”

"As soon as the Japanese puppet army withdraws, the task of restoring the base area will be handed over to him."

"At the same time, gather all the doctors and medicines in the base area and prepare to meet a large number of wounded."

"It is also necessary to form a stretcher team of 1,000 people to transport the wounded after the battle starts."

"Send a telegram to Zhao Wen, commander of the Laiyuan Independent Battalion."

"The troops left one-third of their troops to continue to harass and block the Japanese puppet army along the way."

"The others marched here in a squad and platoon to assemble and prepare for battle."

"Send a telegram to the other two independent battalions, take advantage of the Japanese puppet army's eagerness to withdraw from our base area, plant more mines on the road they must pass, set traps, and seize the last opportunity to kill and injure them in large numbers."

"Chief of Staff, Regiment Commander Zhou, the three of us went down separately to inspect the positions of each company, and we must ensure that they are not exposed before the battle, and inflict heavy losses on the Japanese puppet army as soon as the battle starts, surround them, do not give them a chance to break through, and force them to ask for help."

Li Hao's calculation of the time was particularly accurate, and at three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, the sweeping troops on the east road retreated to the ambush position of Wushanwa.

Relying on the cover of planes in the sky, the road in front was also revisited by planes over and over again, and no trace of the activities of the Eighth Route Army was found.

The Japanese puppet army, which was hurrying on the way, did not have any vigilance, and burrowed into the pocket formation.

The headquarters is nearly two kilometers away from the battlefield, although it is a little farther away, but the terrain is high, and you can have a panoramic view of the entire battlefield from here.

Li Hao stood at the lookout, staring at the battlefield with a very serious expression.

Hong Linfeng and Head Zhou stood beside them, their expressions obviously more solemn.

The escort's devil planes continued to pass over their heads, making sure that there were no ambushes around the mopping force.

The battle was about to start in ten minutes, and the plane was definitely still on top of everyone.

There were six aerial bombs on the plane, hundreds of rounds of aerial bullets, and if used well, they would definitely cause huge casualties to the ambush troops.

If the ambush position is blown out of a gap by the planes and the devils break out, the entire ambush battle will be defeated.

So this plane is the biggest variable in the entire ambush war.

Seeing the plane flying low above everyone's heads again, a trace of worry flashed on Hong Linfeng's solemn face.

I couldn't help but remind: "Regiment commander, the variables brought by this plane are too great, a bomb will come down at least to reimburse us for one platoon, if it concentrates on bombing, and the devils in the ambush circle break through from this point, our encirclement will be easily torn apart." ”

"Don't worry, the devil planes don't have a chance to bomb us." Li Hao replied with a cold snort.

"According to the battle plan, after the attack began, the artillery and infantry did not move, plus the ones we captured from the Japanese reinforcements and brought by Zhao Wen, we have a total of 106 mortars of various calibers, mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and 21 field artillery."

"Except for the mountain artillery and infantry artillery, which are difficult to transfer and do not move for the time being, the remaining 106 mortars are all scattered around the battlefield in platoon units."

"I prepared 6,000 shells for the devils, and all of them were shot out within half an hour after the ambush began, and I fought wherever there were many devils, and I didn't give the devils a chance to break through."

"This means that if the planes want to bomb it, they can only bomb our scattered artillery, and the results are limited."

"When all six aerial bombs are used up, the infantry will go out to narrow the encirclement and trap the remaining Japanese puppet army."

"At that time, the Japanese puppet army in the pocket array will really become the dish on our plate, and we can eat it as much as we want."
