Chapter 324: Li Hao's Calculation (Second Update!) )
"Then the highway we destroyed will not be destroyed in vain!" Hong Linfeng next to him was anxious and immediately asked.
"When the instructor sent the captives, he sent a company of more than 300 recruits together, although these recruits have not yet touched a gun, but they are all ordinary people who have just put down their hoes, and they have great strength, so it is better to let them destroy the road."
"In just two days, they destroyed a stretch of road that was nearly 10 kilometers long. Now that the little devil has lost his baggage cart and can walk any road, those destruction is not useless! ”
"I'll send someone to contact the recruit company immediately and ask them to stop their operations, so as not to waste their efforts!"
Li Hao replied with a calm face: "Order them to stop and go directly to Dongtian Village for us to meet...... Then stand by! ”
"As for the roads that have been destroyed, we cannot afford to waste them!"
"Jiang Tianhong, the most powerful thing in the whole battalion is your company. I'll give you two hundred grenades, go now, and use the ruined highway to give the city devils a greeting gift!" ”
"How to fight, how to use two hundred grenades to cause more casualties to the devils, you are sure for yourself, I will not interfere!"
"The others will leave with me now, let's go to Dongtian Village, where we have prepared the first battlefield for the little devils!"
"I'm going to prepare a greeting gift for the little devil on the road, and we'll give the little devil a head start in Dongtian Village, and we'll kill at least one squadron of devils!"
Dongtian Village is built on a mountain, half of the village is on the hill, half of the village is on the front foot flat bottom, and the road follows the mountain from the foot of the mountain and passes through the middle of the village, dividing the village into two.
Coupled with the rugged terrain and mountains that surround it, this is definitely a natural battlefield for ambushes.
If Li Hao had enough troops in his hands, even if he only had twice the strength of the little devil, he would dare to arrange a pocket formation here, and wipe out all the Watanabe brigades that went out of the city here.
However, the only thing that the independent battalion lacks is the strength of troops!
After the four main companies replenished more than 100 captive soldiers, the total strength was just over 300 people.
With the addition of the fire company, artillery, and guard company, the total strength is less than 600 people.
With such a small number of troops, they can't even arrange a pocket, let alone fight an ambush and face to face with the devils. ”
Therefore, the idea of fighting a Japanese ambush here was vetoed by Li Hao himself just in a flash from his mind.
But if such a good terrain is not used well, it is too sorry for God's favor.
And at this moment, Dongtian Village happened to enter Li Hao's field of vision.
"The recruit company, the baggage company, immediately enter the village to evacuate the people, this place is about to become a battlefield, everyone has to go into the mountain, and those who disagree will directly send people to send them into the mountain!" Facing Dongtian Village, a battlefield that he determined, the more Li Hao looked, the more satisfied he became.
"What about us? Battalion commander! Hong Linfeng asked.
"Lead the troops into the village, and familiarize yourself with every road, every yard, and every room in the village as a squad!"
"I'm going to fight the little devil Watanabe Brigade here!"
"Don't they like it when we go toe-to-toe with them? Today we will let them get their wish and fight a tough battle with them! ”
"How? Could it be to occupy the hilltop and high ground behind the village and fight with the little devils! As soon as he heard the battle, Hong Linfeng's eyes became hot.
Li Hao shook his head and replied: "I guessed right, but instead of occupying the hill and high ground behind the village, we occupied the village in front of us!" ”
The heat in Hong Linfeng's eyes disappeared in an instant, his eyes were round, and he asked with a look of disbelief!
"The village? There is no terrain advantage here, and there is no danger to defend, how can we fight with the little devils! ”
"They brought twelve mortars alone, four mountain guns and two infantry guns. If a single shell falls, the entire village may be razed to the ground, and the troops will not be blown up to death if they are left to stay here? ”
Li Hao did not deny it: "A long time of stubborn defense is indeed death!" ”
Seeing that Hong Linfeng's face sank suddenly, Li Hao changed his words and continued: "But we don't need to defend it!" ”
"If I'm not mistaken, from the beginning of the battle, we only need to defend for a maximum of three hours, and we will definitely be able to withdraw from the village before the devils raze Dongtian Village to the ground!"
Hong Linfeng stared at the village for less than a minute before he understood.
With a sudden realization on his face, he shouted: "I understand the battalion commander, the reason why you chose Dongtian Village to fight the devil is definitely because it is built on the mountain!" ”
"The back mountain is so big, even if the little devil comes with another 2,000 people, it is impossible to block the back mountain, stay here, we can retreat from the back mountain at any time and slip away from under the nose of the devil!"
Li Hao looked at Hong Linfeng with a smile on his face, both relieved and satisfied.
After several big battles in a row, although Hong Linfeng is still as belligerent and impulsive as ever.
But compared to before, he is obviously more mature now, and he is more willing to use his brain and think about problems than before.
Answer in the affirmative: "There is another reason!" ”
"It's about twenty-five attacks from the county seat, and the devil goes out at eight o'clock in the morning, and the normal march can be here at one o'clock in the afternoon!"
"But after a series of harassment and blockades along the way, there will be at least an extra hour of delay on the road!"
"This means that the devil Watanabe Daito will be here at three o'clock in the afternoon at the earliest!"
"From three o'clock to dark, it's only three hours, as long as we rely on the village to guard for three hours, the black devils will stop attacking!"
"Also, take a serious look at this Dongtian Village!"
"Because the village is built on the mountain, the houses are built with stones from the mountains, and the stone walls must be stronger than ordinary earthen walls!"
"Unless the little devil uses mountain artillery and infantry artillery with great destructive power, mortars alone will definitely not threaten the village!"
"They only have six mountain guns and infantry guns, and I don't believe these six guns can raze a stone-built village to the ground in just three hours!"
"If I can't, I'll turn this village into a meat grinder for little devils, kill at least two hundred of them, block them until dark, and then continue to attack them at night!"
Fifteen kilometers away, walking on a completely damaged road, Watanabe Nakasa was very happy.
"Sir, if it weren't for your decisive decision to give up the cart and collect mules and horses to transport supplies, the road destroyed by the Eighth Route Army under your feet would definitely greatly slow down our marching speed, and we wouldn't be able to walk even twenty kilometers in a day!" The adjutant said with a flattering face.
The deputy's compliment made Watanabe Nakasa smile and spoke with a smile on his face!
"The Eighth Route Army is too cunning, they will definitely delay us at all costs, destroying the highway is their usual method, it is not difficult to think of it!
"Boom, boom, boom......"
As soon as the words fell, a series of explosions that hit the face came from the striker.
The frightened war horse almost overturned the defenseless Watanabe Nakasa.
He jumped off the horse and judged with a calm face: "It's the sound of a grenade explosion!" ”
"There was only an explosion and no gunshots, it must have been the Eighth Route Army that arranged a treacherous mine on the road!"
Soon a second lieutenant rushed over, and the content of the report was the same as Watanabe Nakasa's judgment.
The only difference is that the casualties of the strikers are a bit bigger.
