Seeing Hong Linfeng and Wang Hong, both of them wrinkled their brows and fell into deep thought.

Li Hao continued: "No...... These main companies have just been expanded, and the proportion of recruits is more than seventy percent, and they haven't even learned how to shoot, so they can't fight at all! ”

"What we need most now is time, we must find a way to make this battle unfought!"

Hong Linfeng frowned and asked, "Battalion commander, what you said is impossible at all!" ”

"The initiative on the battlefield is in the hands of that old devil Watanabe, if he knows that we are weak now, he will definitely attack us at all costs!"

"If I were that old devil Watanabe, I would definitely choose to do this and kill us before our independent battalion is completely restored to combat effectiveness!"

Li Hao frowned and replied, "No, as long as we want to, we will definitely be able to think of a way!" ”

"He Wenlin, from now on, the internal guard platoon will be expanded into the internal guard company, I don't care what method you use, I must let the little devils in Lingqiu City know the true situation of our independent battalion later, and it will be a day if it can be delayed!"

Instructor Wang Hong frowned and replied: "Battalion commander, this will not solve the problem at all, there is not much difference between the Watanabe Brigade delaying the attack on us for a few days and attacking us immediately, we still have to resist their attack!" ”

Li Hao said: "This is just the first step! ”

"Lao Hong was right just now, the initiative on the battlefield is now in Watanabe's hands, and he has the final say when to attack us!"

"If we find a way to snatch the initiative on the battlefield, we will hold it in our hands. Then we will decide where the Watanabe brigade attacks, and we will listen to me if the scale of the battle is not large! ”

"As long as we pass the current festival and give the troops a month of training time, we will not be afraid that the Watanabe Brigade will attack again!"

The instructor stared at Li Hao with a pair of big eyes, and retorted in a tone of complete disbelief: "This is impossible! ”

"Battalion commander, don't coax me, although this Watanabe Brigade has suffered heavy casualties, after adding the Lingqiu Garrison Brigade, the total strength is still more than a thousand. What's more, during this time, Lingqiu's puppet army has been expanding. ”

"There must be a thousand people by now!"

"There are more than 2,000 Japanese puppet troops in total, half of which are well-equipped and combat-ready Japanese elites. It can be said that we want to have soldiers and equipment, how can we give up the initiative on the battlefield and let us be at our mercy! ”

Li Hao shook his head and denied: "No, the Watanabe Brigade in Lingqiu City lacks one thing!" ”

"What's that?" Wang Hong asked, still with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Heavy weapons!" Li Hao blurted out without thinking about it.

Hong Linfeng followed Li Hao for the longest time, and suddenly realized and shouted, "I understand...... Battalion commander, what do you mean to say, concentrate all the heavy weapons of our independent battalion, beat the devils hard, and repel the Watanabe brigade that attacked us! ”

"The internal guard company is delaying time, buy us time to transfer troops!"

Seeing Li Hao smiling and silent, Hong Linfeng thought that he was right, and the more he spoke, the happier he became.

But he soon realized that his analysis was full of holes.

"That's not right!"

"Even if we concentrate all the heavy weapons and use them, we don't know where the devils will attack us from, and we don't even know where the specific attack is, so there is no way to arrange the battlefield in advance!"

"Also, the Watanabe Brigade may also call in aircraft support!"

"In the first battle of Dongtian Village, none of us thought that the devil would come by plane, but it came and directly blew up half of our company's troops!"

Li Hao opened his mouth and replied with a serious face: "You are only half right!" ”

"As I said earlier, the Internal Guard Company will buy us time at all costs to gather troops and all heavy weapons, and this is only the first step!"

"There is a second and most important step!"

"The Watanabe Brigade and the Lingqiu Garrison in the county town all add up to no more than four infantry squadrons, and there is also a cavalry squadron, a mortar squadron that is not in the group, and a heavy machine gun squadron that is not in the group!"

"As long as we find a way to concentrate all the heavy weapons and eat their two infantry squadrons. With the remaining strength in Lingqiu County, it is impossible to attack us again for at least a month! ”

"So my second step is to prepare a battlefield for the devils, ambush all the troops and heavy weapons we have gathered on the battlefield, and eat the little devils who enter our ambush battlefield!"

Instructor Wang Hong asked with a disbelieving expression: "The initiative on the battlefield is in the hands of the little devil!" ”

"We have the battlefield ready, the little devil is not fooled, but what if we don't come?"

Li Hao replied confidently: "Then we will take the initiative on the battlefield in our own hands and force the little devils to come over!" ”

"Impossible!" Wang Hong subconsciously retorted.

Until now, Wang Hong and Hong Linfeng still don't believe that Li Hao can take the initiative on the battlefield.

Li Hao did not refute immediately, but found the map of Lingqiu, pointed to the three towns outside Lingqiu City and the garrison of the Japanese puppet army.

"Let's take the initiative and hit these three strongholds!"

"It's impossible for Watanabe to make Lingqiu City a lonely city, if the three strongholds are attacked, he will definitely send troops to rescue!"

"And what we need to do is to ambush them and eat them on the way through which the devils must reinforce the three strongholds!"

Hong Linfeng finally understood, and exclaimed with a sudden realization.

"That's a good idea!"

"There are too many recruits in the army, and in the face of the possible attack of the devils, we only think about how to defend and how to avoid the battle, and we don't think about taking the initiative to attack at all!"

"The battalion commander found another way and took the initiative to attack the strongholds outside the city, and the little devils in the city will definitely send troops to rescue!"

Wang Hong also reacted: "This is a typical encirclement point reinforcement!" ”

"The only thing we didn't expect was to take the initiative, not only for us, but also for Watanabe in the castle."

At the Japanese garrison headquarters in Lingqiu City, Tian Chengzhi stood in front of Watanabe Nakasa, both weak and nervous.

In addition to the special forces, Watanabe Nakasa also has his own intelligence sources.

So he was more or less aware of some of the bad situations outside the city.

In less than half a month, more than sixty percent of the villages and towns outside Lingqiu City fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

More importantly, the Eighth Route Army recruited more than 1,000 recruits in these villages and towns, and also formed a large number of guerrilla units to fight against the imperial army.

Judging from the map, these villages and towns are like a huge semi-encirclement, turning Lingqiu City into a lonely city!

"Commander, after investigation, our special forces have basically figured out the real situation of the independent battalion!"

"Half a month ago, the independent battalion dispatched a total of four companies to capture more than 40 villages controlled by the imperial army in four directions, and established a so-called anti-Japanese government in these villages, formed guerrilla units, and recruited troops to replenish the troops!"

"At present, the strength of the Eighth Route Army in these four companies is sufficient, and each company has been expanded to more than 200 people, and it is well-equipped."

"In addition to these four main companies, they also have a large number of troops stationed in Hongquan Village, the specific establishment is unknown, but the total strength is definitely not less than five hundred!"

Watanabe Nakasa asked rhetorically with a calm face: "In other words, the total strength of the independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army in Lingqiu has now reached 1,500~"

"Hey!"

Tian Chengzhi heard the anger in Watanabe Nakasa's words, and replied stubbornly.
