Chapter 1258: Take the Initiative (Second Update!) )
Li Hao demanded that the independent regiment be reorganized before eight o'clock the next night, and Commander Zhou would never really delay it until then.
He knew very well that if the reorganization was completed one hour ahead of schedule, the troops would have one more hour of run-in training.
On the battlefield, it is definitely better than not having run-in training, and the chance of problems is also smaller.
By one o'clock in the afternoon, the independent regiment had been reorganized by two people.
"Commander Li, the independent regiment has been reorganized and is undergoing run-in training, how will we fight next?" Head Zhou found Li Hao and asked expectantly.
In his original plan, without three or four months, it was impossible for the Separate Regiment to return to its pre-war state.
Unexpectedly, after Li Hao came, he let the independent regiment return to full strength in just one day and one night.
What he wanted to do most now was to find a whetstone and see if the reorganized independent regiment was as sharp as before.
If so, the Independence Regiment will no longer have to worry about heavy casualties in its troops in the future.
As long as we win more battles, capture more weapons and ammunition, and capture more prisoners, no matter how great the losses of the troops are, they can be replenished in a very short period of time in the same way, so as to form a combat effectiveness.
"Take the initiative and start with this little devil first." Li Hao did not hide his thoughts, and pointed to a point on the map to answer.
Head Zhou's eyes immediately widened, and he asked with a puzzled face.
"But they are still on the way to Laishui, dozens of kilometers away from us, how to fight, is it ......?"
In the middle of speaking, he suddenly reacted, and the whole person became excited.
"I understand, Commander Li, we can't think of fighting devils along the way, and devils can't even think of it, so they can attack unprepared, and they will be caught off guard."
"They marched to Laishui in a hurry, they have been walking for more than ten hours, they must be very tired, their combat effectiveness has dropped sharply, and it is easier to beat them than to fight other devils."
"That's a great idea, I couldn't agree more."
Li Hao continued: "I arranged for an assault detachment to keep an eye on them. ”
"I received a telegram half an hour ago: this little devil will not arrive at the assembly area until ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and it is now one o'clock in the afternoon, and the twenty hours in between are our chances."
"The Independent Regiment is the head snake here, and there must be a way to bypass the Japanese puppet army's assembly area and blockade line."
"Whether it is an ambush or an active attack, we will depend on the situation when we arrive on the battlefield."
Nakasa Kato is the commander of the devil reinforcement force.
Although he has been at the forefront of the battlefield, he has not achieved an inch.
After the war in North China reached a stalemate, both sides fell silent, accumulating strength and preparing for the next big battle.
In the two months since he took up the post of captain of the Zhongzuo Brigade, there were only military engineering teams and guerrillas in the defense area, and the shadow of the main force of the Eighth Route Army was never seen.
I came with a lot of confidence, and every day was disappointed.
After receiving the order for reinforcements Laishui, Kato was excited for a night and decided to vent all the anger he had been holding back on the front line for many months on the independent regiment, so that they could taste their own strength.
Once the troops were assembled, they set off, not wanting to delay for a minute.
The troops were tired of walking, rested on the spot for half an hour and continued to advance.
After dark, half of the night went to sleep, half of the night hurried, and hurried to Laishui as soon as possible.
"Your Excellency, there are still thirty kilometers to the assembly point, and the troops have been marching for twelve hours straight, and they are very tired. Inferior advice to rest here for half a night before setting out, reporting to the chief of staff with the highest morale? The deputy held the map and chased after Kato Nakasa, suggesting.
"Yes!" Kato Nakasa did not refuse.
"The troops rested in place for six hours, and the first infantry squadron took turns to be on guard in small squadrons, and each squad was on duty for two hours."
On the mountain road 10 kilometers away, more than 2,000 Eighth Route Army, each carrying more than 30 pounds of equipment and ammunition, marched forward along the mountain road with difficulty.
If the troops want to bypass the blockade, they must take this kind of small road.
The mountain road was too steep for mules and horses to walk.
Heavy weapons and ammunition needed for combat can only be carried to the battlefield by people on their shoulders.
Li Hao was no exception, carrying a mortar accessories weighing more than 20 pounds.
"Regiment commander, the commando team reports: the devils have stopped, resting in place on the road ten kilometers away from us, an infantry squad is on guard, and the other devils are sleeping."
Communication platoon commander Zhou Liang caught up with Li Hao and reported.
"Map ......," Li Hao commanded, putting down the parts on his back.
The guards found a stone and began to lay out the map, then turned on the flashlight to illuminate it.
In less than two minutes, the place where the Japanese troops had camped was found.
At this time, Commander Zhou of the Independent Regiment also ran over panting: "Commander Li, what's the situation?" ”
"The devil stopped here to rest, and only one infantry squad was arranged to keep guard."
"Here's our chance."
Head Zhou knew very well what the opportunity was in Li Hao's mouth, and he shouted happily: "It is indeed a good opportunity." ”
"The troops of more than 1,000 people only arranged for more than 50 devils to be on guard, and the devils were too careless, and the cordon must be full of loopholes. But this is not to blame them, this is an enemy-occupied area, and without the activities of our Eighth Route Army, it will definitely be careless. ”
"As long as we find one or two loopholes and touch the side of the station to launch a surprise attack at close range, we will definitely catch them by surprise."
Li Hao said: "There is one more point. ”
"Before the break, the Japanese army marched for twelve hours in a row, and only rested twice in the middle, and was very tired, and I didn't want to get up when I lay down.
"Let's fight! Captain Lee! Captain Zhou had already begun to gear up, looking at Li Hao, his eyes lit up.
"Fight, the troops speed up the march, rush over in two hours, rest for an hour, and then start the offensive."
At one o'clock in the morning, the second squad took over from the first squad and began to be on alert.
They were woken up after only two hours of rest, and everyone was sleepy-eyed and very tired.
More than fifty devils, in groups of three, were scattered around the station.
At first, they could not hold back their eyes, but after an hour, most of the soldiers were in a half-asleep state.
At this time, more than two dozen black shadows appeared around the devil's station.
Dressed in black and holding daggers, they slowly approached them.
The devil was so tired, and the wind was so strong that the grass and trees around him were whirring, just enough to hide the footsteps of the black shadows.
In less than ten minutes, a group of guard posts was surrounded by six black shadows.
The encirclement became smaller and smaller, and when there were still five meters away from the devil, the black shadow was no longer restrained, and pounced on the little devil who was close at hand like a cheetah.
In a group of two, all three devils were killed in an instant, without making any noise in between.
At the same time, all the four surrounding guard posts were pulled out, and a gap nearly three hundred meters wide appeared next to the devil's station.
