Today's task is to strike at the Japanese puppet army and consume a large amount of their vital strength, not to stop them.

The position of the battlefield and how to fight it are all Li Zhiyong's final say, and there is no combat pressure and burden.

So today's battle was particularly smooth.

After confirming that the Japanese puppet army followed the traces left by the troops and chased after him, Li Zhiyong's worries were completely gone: "The whole company is ready for battle, and the squad and platoon are divided into units, and they can fight as much as they are comfortable killing devils!" ”

"Before the dark devils withdraw from the mountain, everyone has to kill at least two Japanese puppet soldiers for me, and don't come back to see me if you can't complete the task."

"In addition, while killing devils, you must ensure your own safety, the mountains are the territory of our Eighth Route Army, we must make good use of the terrain, don't turn over at your own doorstep."

Outside the mountain, the attack of the main force of the independent battalion on the baggage brigade has ended.

The escort aircraft launched a total of three attacks with aviation machine guns and withdrew from the battle due to lack of fuel.

The next escort plane will arrive at the battlefield in half an hour, and the independent battalion will seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, quickly destroy the remnants of the enemy, and take down the baggage team.

"Battalion commander, we actually killed the baggage team in one battle, it's so unexpected, I doubt if I made a mistake......" The guard company commander rushed to Zhao Wen when he got off the battlefield, his face was already blooming, and he shouted excitedly, and he couldn't see the painful expression caused by the heavy casualties of the guard company at all.

"I was surprised, too!" Zhao Wen also had a smile on his face.

According to the original plan, the battle ended after the guard company killed a part of the Japanese escort troops in Lizhuang.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese army continued to send troops to Lizhuang, and even threw the only six bombs that flew into Lizhuang, minimizing the threat of the aircraft to the independent battalion.

Zhao Wen was keenly aware of the opportunity to kill the baggage team here, and immediately changed the battle plan and ordered the baggage company to participate in the battle.

The battle went a little bit more than expected.

Without the threat of aircraft, the devil is like a tiger that has lost its fangs, and its combat effectiveness plummets.

In fact, it was not that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army had deteriorated, but that the time and place were favorable, and the people were not on their side.

The baggage team stretched for a kilometer, and more than 100 baggage soldiers were scattered next to each baggage cart, no matter where they were attacked, there were no more than 20 devils who could immediately meet them, which caused the little devils to take care of their heads and tails, so that the independent battalion had every opportunity to break them.

In the face of the Eighth Route Army, which had absolute superiority in strength and firepower on the local battlefield, no matter how strong the devil's combat effectiveness was, no matter how much he struggled, it was all in vain, and he could not get rid of the fate of being killed.

Excitement is excitement, Zhao Wen did not lose his cool.

Normally, the next plane will arrive on the battlefield in twenty minutes.

If they see that the baggage team is finished, they will definitely launch an attack and destroy the supplies, and they would rather blow it up than give it to the Eighth Route Army.

So the task has not been completed, looking at the guard company commander, he immediately ordered: "Killing the baggage team is only half of the task, and our task is only completed by transferring all the materials, weapons and ammunition on the road into the mountain, otherwise we can only blow it up." ”

"This is the fat that has been bitten into the mouth, and I don't agree to blow it up anyway."

"The guard company has paid the most in this battle, and the casualties are also large, so they will not participate in the next material transfer."

"You immediately command the troops to clean up the battlefield and rescue the wounded."

"Before the arrival of the next Japanese plane, send all the wounded and the bodies of the fallen soldiers into the mountains to hide."

"The recruit company, the baggage company, immediately change into the military uniform of the little devil, disguise yourself as a Japanese escort unit, and take all the baggage vehicles and continue to move along the road."

"Before leaving, disguise the corpse of the devil by the way, so that the devil pilots in the sky can't see it, and mistakenly think that their baggage team is still there."

"I just calculated that one plane can escort for an hour. An hour later, we arrived in Hongjia Town, which was close to the mountains and where the people of a dozen or so nearby villages were hiding. ”

"As long as the baggage team reaches Hongjia Town safely, we can mobilize the common people to move all the captured goods into the mountains within half an hour, and then we will attack the Japanese baggage team and cut off their logistics supply lines."

"The communications squad will immediately send people to Hongjia Town, order the local troops there, the guerrillas, and quickly organize the villagers to prepare for the reception."

The Japanese puppet army temporarily set up camp, and at twelve o'clock at noon, the wing commander, who had been guarding the headquarters and waiting for news, could not sit still.

Find the chief of staff and order: "Immediately send a telegram to the two sorties to inquire about the battle situation." ”

"It stands to reason that they arrived at the hiding place three hours ago, and after three hours they pursued the people who were being transferred, and there should be results."

The operator acted quickly, got the message signed by the wing commander and began to call the other party, and then sent a telegram.

In less than five minutes, both telegrams were sent out, and then they stared at the radio and waited for the other to call back.

"There's a callback!" The operator who had been wearing headphones shouted excitedly.

Skillfully took out a pen and paper and began to receive messages.

Ten minutes later, the already translated telegram appeared in the hands of the chief of staff.

With just one glance, the chief of staff's face became solemn, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he hurriedly walked to the side of the wing commander and reported.

"Wing Commander, the telegram was sent by the air force, not the return call from the sortie."

"The aviation unit reported: they did not find the baggage team sent to us by the base on the road, so let's send troops to search for them immediately."

"Something happened to the baggage team?" The co-captain was shocked.

Compared with whether the two sorties can successfully complete the task and capture the hostages, the role of the baggage team is even greater.

In a few days, the troops will run out of food and urgently need to replenish ammunition.

If something happens to the baggage team, it will take at least two days for the base to resend troops to replenish its ammunition and supplies.

And there must be a precondition: the attacking troops continue to remain here and remain still.

Otherwise, the logistics base will certainly not be able to deliver food to itself within two days, and the troops will face the danger of running out of food.

The more I thought about it, the more solemn the co-captain's expression became, and the anger also surged.

Staring at the chief of staff, he asked, "What do the aviation units do for food?" Didn't they stay in the skies over the baggage team all the time? How could it be that he disappeared for no reason, and he couldn't find it. ”

The chief of staff explained as he handed the telegram to the wing commander: "The baggage team was missing at the handover of the second and third escort aircraft. ”

"Because of the time difference, the baggage team did not have an aircraft escort for about half an hour during each handover."

"Originally, I thought that the main forces of the Eighth Route Army were near us, and there were 400 escort troops plus heavy troops, so even if they were attacked, it would definitely be no problem for half an hour."

"I didn't expect something to happen."

The Wing Commander quickly skimmed through the board at a glance, strode over to the map, and ordered by pointing to an area where the baggage team might be missing.

"The reconnaissance team will go here to investigate immediately, and we must find out how the baggage team disappeared, and I want to see people and corpses in my life."

"Hey!" The chief of staff immediately replied, and then summoned two staff officers to begin giving orders.

Because of this bad news, the good mood of the wing captain disappeared all at once.

Pacing back and forth in the headquarters, looking anxious.

It is very likely that something happened to the baggage team, and the two-way attack force that took the hostages has not sent back a telegram so far, could it be that something happened to them too?

The wing commander's expression became more and more solemn, and after he couldn't help it, he looked at the telegraph operator not far away and asked, "Haven't the attacking troops called back yet?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the "tick......-tock" receiving and receiving telegram sounded just as he could.

The captain of the wing breathed a sigh of relief and kept an eye on the news from the operator.

The chief of staff knew what the Wing Commander was worried about, so he took the telegram and glanced at it and reported: "Wing Commander, Nakata Saburo calls back, and they are about to catch up with the hostages." ”

"The battle is the same as yesterday, in order to buy time for the hostages to transfer, the Eighth Route Army will not want to stop and harass them."

"At present, the casualties of the attacking troops are still within a manageable range, and the preliminary estimate is that they can catch up with the hostages within an hour."

The Wing Captain finally received a piece of good news and replied with a long sigh: "That's good." ”
