Chapter 149: The Arrogant Japanese Army (First Update!) )
Hong Linfeng, Chen Bing, and the three squad leaders all looked at Li Hao with inexplicable expressions, not knowing what made him so anxious.
"Comrades, to make a long story short: a main wing of the Japanese army is on its way to kill us, and the main force has decided to temporarily avoid the front and withdraw tonight, while our four platoons were selected by the superiors to protect all the seriously wounded in the battalion!"
"What? Why we stay! Hong Linfeng was anxious at that time, and shouted with a dissatisfied face.
"The Japanese army is attacking heavily, and the four platoons are just a few of us veterans who can fight, and the recruits have just learned to shoot, so they definitely can't participate in the battle. If you stay with this little force, isn't that a death? ”
In their eyes, it is definitely safer to follow the main force than to stay alone.
Although everyone is not afraid of death, if there is a chance to live, they will definitely choose to live.
Li Hao won't say his careful thoughts for the time being, but he believes that as long as he stays, it won't take long for the veterans under his command to regain their confidence, and lead them to survive behind enemy lines, and they can continue to grow themselves.
And the urgency of the delay now is to stabilize everyone's morale and avoid the current hurdle.
frowned and replied: "Send to death?" Hong Linfeng, it's not me Li Hao who is arrogant, the devil who is killing us hasn't eaten us so well! ”
"Rest assured, I, Li Hao, will definitely be able to lead you to complete the task smoothly!"
"Also, haven't you always wanted to fight? Now there are thousands of devils here, as long as you have the courage to follow me, I will definitely take you to have a good time! ”
Chen Bing frowned and slowly relaxed, thought for a while and replied: "I believe the platoon commander ......"
Hong Linfeng also calmed down, stared at Li Hao and shouted: "Platoon commander, give an order, I will definitely not suffer a loss if I follow you to fight!" It's a big deal to fight with the little devils, and human lives are exchanged for human lives. ”
"There are at least five little devils who died in my hands on the battlefield of Pingxingguan, which is already enough!"
Li Hao replied confidently: "Don't worry, as long as everyone executes the order and is not impulsive when encountering the little devil, there will definitely be no accident!" ”
"Now I'll assign the task: everyone can't rest tonight, take all the seriously wounded into the mountain, and I want to build a secret camp deep in the mountains, which can be attacked and retreated!"
"Hong Linfeng, you set off now, take two recruits to reconnoiter and advance in the direction of Laiyuan, find this Japanese army, keep an eye on them, and figure out how many devils will come to us at that time, how about the equipment, only by knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can you win a hundred battles!"
At the temporary garrison of the Japanese army outside Laiyuan City, dozens of puffs of smoke rose from the garrison as soon as the sky was bright.
It wasn't long before the orderly entered the separate tent where the wing commander was staying with a hearty breakfast.
The chief of staff and the three captains of the junior brigade also followed.
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the troops are having breakfast, and last night they contacted the logistics baggage troops of Laiyuan City to prepare for us for half a month's combat provisions, and they will definitely be able to meet the needs of this operation!" The chief of staff walked into the tent and reported with a respectful face.
"Yo Xi!" The captain of the big Zuo joint put down his chopsticks and was very satisfied.
But soon his face became more serious than ever, and he stared at a few subordinates and introduced.
"Ladies and gentlemen, according to intelligence, a main regiment of the Eighth Route Army, which killed more than 1,000 of our imperial troops in the first battle of Pingxingguan, was stationed in Lingqiu, and the front army was very angry, and decided to dispatch our wing to kill them, to avenge the more than 1,000 imperial troops killed on the battlefield, and to hit the morale and fighting spirit of the Chinese army to resist the imperial army!"
"I decided to divide the troops into three lines, with each infantry brigade responsible for one battalion of them. The troops will depart in an hour, rush to Lingqiu before dark, and launch an attack on them tomorrow to kill them in one battle! ”
"The co-captain is wise...... One of our wings can suppress a division of the Central Army on the frontal battlefield, and the Eighth Route Army has only one regiment of troops, so it will definitely be able to easily annihilate them! One of the captains was arrogantly complimented.
Another captain said: "I agree with Tanaka-kun's analysis, the front army overestimates the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army!" ”
"The reason why the Eighth Route Army was able to kill more than 1,000 of us in the First Battle of Pingxingguan is that I personally think that they are lucky, and they are our logistics baggage troops, which does not mean that their combat effectiveness is very strong. If it was us who were ambushed in the first battle of Pingxingguan, I am confident that not only will we not be killed, but we will also be able to fight back on the battlefield and kill the Eighth Route Army that ambushed us! ”
The co-captain liked the arrogance of his subordinates.
The performance of the Chinese army on the battlefield was so bad that it was crushed at the first blow, and the imperial army did have the capital to be arrogant.
A wing attacking a regiment of the Eighth Route Army is definitely a bull's knife in his eyes, and it is a redundant move, but the orders of the front army must be carried out.
So he's very confident in this attack and has no worries at all.
"I will now begin to give orders: the first brigade is responsible for encircling and annihilating the first battalion of the 686th regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the second brigade is encircling and destroying the second battalion, and the third brigade is encircling and destroying the third battalion, because the third brigade has suffered great losses in the last battle and has not been replenished, and the wing headquarters and directly subordinate troops are acting together with the third brigade!"
Hongquan Village, the only way for the Japanese army to enter the mountain. More than 20 kilometers further on is the mountain village where the Third Battalion and Eighth Company were stationed a day ago.
The Japanese did not know that the Eighth Company had retreated a day earlier.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, when they arrived at Hongquan Village, they sent an infantry squadron to block the only mountain pass in and out of the mountain, so that not a single fly could fly out.
"Your Excellency, the only mountain pass of the Eighth Route Army out of the mountain has been blocked by us, they can't escape, and they will definitely be wiped out by us tomorrow!" Captain Tanaka Shaosa reported, his face full of confidence and arrogance.
"Very good, order the troops to seize the time to rest tonight, and we will enter the mountain at dawn tomorrow!" The Wing Commander ordered.
Thinking of the livestock he saw when he entered the village, he immediately added: "After the troops entered North China, they have been fighting and eating canned dry food every day, and they have long been tired of eating it. ”
"Tomorrow the warriors are going to fight, and they will definitely eat well tonight, I decided to change the taste for everyone, we won't eat canned food tonight!"
"Order the troops to go into the village to collect and raise, I just saw a lot of goats, and strive for one sheep for each infantry squad!"
"We came to China for the common prosperity of Greater East Asia, and in order to make them live a better life, the Chinese should thank us, and these goats should be taken as their gratitude to us!"
Tanaka Shaoza's eyes lit up, and the invasion could be said to be the co-prosperity of Greater East Asia, and there was only the co-captain in front of him.
But he doesn't care, as long as he can eat and drink well, he can do anything, anyway, the Chinese have always been inferior in their eyes.
He quickly replied: "The wing commander is wise, and he will do it immediately." ”
The people of Hongquan Village are all encountering the Japanese for the first time, and no one has established a base here.
In the face of the Japanese soldiers who came over, everyone did not clear the wilderness, and did not even leave the village.
Hiding in the house, closing the door, and hiding from the Japanese like before from the white dogs.
They clearly underestimated the ruthlessness and cruelty of the Japanese army.
Little devils in groups of three rushed into the village with rifles with bayonets in their hands, smashed the door with the closed door of the house, forced their way in, and then robbed it.
When they encountered people who resisted, they came up and punched and kicked them.
This kind of opportunity to grab things in front of me is very difficult to encounter, so every Japanese soldier who entered the village seized the opportunity, and when he grabbed sheep, he grabbed more other things, preferably gold and silver, to fill his own pocket.
In less than an hour, the small village was looted like bandits crossing the border.
More than a hundred devils left the village in an organized manner, carrying grain on their backs, carrying old hens with rifles, and driving goats, and the harvest was full.
The village was indeed a mess, and everywhere there were cries of pain from the common people!
