The guerrillas could not be found, and all the civilians associated with the guerrillas disappeared.

The Japanese puppet army could only burn the house to vent its anger.

Then they wandered around the guerrilla area, and as soon as the guerrillas came up, they immediately killed a rifle.

The squadron leader's idea was good, but he far underestimated the power of guerrilla warfare.

Gunshots rang out around the ranks day and night, taking a life from time to time.

At first, the troops were able to hold on, but after two days they couldn't.

I don't eat well, I don't sleep well, and I always have to worry about myself being the next person to be killed.

Nervousness and panic quickly spread among the team, making everyone panic and very tired.

In order to prevent the attacking troops of the garrison regiment lurking around from taking advantage of the fire and looting, the squadron leader could only temporarily suspend the operation, hastily withdraw to the station, and wait for the morale of the troops to recover before killing them.

"Company Commander Li, the devil has retreated."

After the last mobile unit withdrew from the guerrilla activity area, the nerves of the guerrilla Captain Zhou, who had been tense for several days, were completely relaxed.

Looking at Li Zhiyong, he reported excitedly: "After statistics, the guerrillas plus the main force, we have killed at least 100 Japanese puppet troops in the past three days. ”

"Because they are scattered among the four Japanese puppet armies, this casualty is almost negligible to the devil like tickling."

"So there was no movement when they withdrew to the station, and the result was exactly the same as what Company Commander Li began to judge."

"There are also guerrillas, three days of guerrilla warfare, and each member of the team shoots a lot of bullets."

"Now I'm not afraid to see little devils, and I've trained a lot of gunners."

"The only problem is that there is too little ammunition."

"Because we can't fight a war of annihilation, our captures are almost zero."

"At the beginning, the ammunition seized from the maintenance committee was very limited, and now there is one less shot."

"At this rate of attrition, the remaining bullets of the guerrillas can survive at most one sweep by the Japanese puppet army."

Li Zhiyong made a decisive decision: "When the main force retreats, I will leave you with a thousand rounds of ammunition to ensure that you have ammunition to use." When I return to the base area, I will report this matter, and the regiment commander will definitely have a way to solve this problem. ”

At the headquarters of the Laiyuan City Garrison Regiment, Hong Linfeng walked in with a smile and was very happy.

"Good news, Captain."

"The three units of our first round of sortie successfully returned to the base area and retreated."

"According to statistics, the three striking troops and the guerrillas who cooperated with their actions killed nearly 300 people by the devils alone, and their own casualties were very small."

"The casualties were also very small, the main force lost only 21 people in total, and another 9 people were seriously injured and temporarily lost their combat effectiveness."

"The guerrillas suffered a total of 18 casualties, six of whom were killed."

"The sacrificial members of the attacking troops were dealt with at that time, and all of them were compensated according to the standards of the main force."

Li Hao immediately asked, "What about the Japanese army?" Did they move? ”

This is his primary concern.

"No movement!" Hong Linfeng replied immediately.

"That's good." Li Hao breathed a long sigh of relief.

"If they didn't move, then it proves that our goal has been achieved, and we order each battalion to immediately send a second round of sorties, and the task is the same as the first round of sorties."

"Let's make a little fuss first, and slowly consume the devils."

"When they realize that something is wrong and want to change their tactics, the troops will give them a few more hard blows and hit them hard."

"When the time comes, they will have no troops available if they want to counterattack, so they can only use the independent mixed brigades that are ready to attack us to fill the losses of troops and defensive holes in the rear, and the main force will directly become a garrison."

"In this way, the situation of the war will develop in our favor step by step, and the initiative on the battlefield will also be in our hands."

Hong Linfeng hurriedly replied: "I have already given the order just now, no accident, the three-way attack force will set off as soon as it gets dark." ”

"However, the three units that attacked in the first round also brought back a problem, which manifested itself mainly in the guerrillas."

"They are growing in strength, and the ammunition they consume is increasing every day."

"But because it can't be a war of annihilation, the capture is almost zero."

"So their ammunition is very insufficient, one shot is one less, and if you want to ensure combat effectiveness, the problem of ammunition must be solved."

Li Hao replied very quickly: "Tell them that the regiment headquarters will solve this problem for them." ”

"By the way, tell these guerrillas that they are guarding a big treasure house, and as long as they make good use of this big treasure house, they can not only solve the ammunition problem, but also help the regiment headquarters solve a big problem."

"A very important reason why the arsenal is unable to produce ammunition on a large scale is the lack of copper."

"But the little devils have it, and the bullets they are equipped with are all made of copper."

"Bullet casings, in particular, make up a large part."

"Bullets are not easy to grab, so let's take bullet casings."

"Find a way to get the devils to use up all the bullets they have with them when they attack and turn them into bullet casings. They did not have the habit of collecting bullet casings, and as soon as they retired from the army, these bullet casings went to us. ”

"The arsenal has calculated that on average, three used bullet casings can be refurnace to produce two new bullets."

"If the guerrillas consume 10,000 rounds of bullets a day, those bullet casings add up to nearly 1,000 catties of scrap copper."

"If you can consume 100,000 rounds of ammunition for the Japanese army every day, it will be nearly 10,000 catties of scrap copper."

"Send them all back to the base area, and the problem of lack of copper in the arsenal will be solved."

"At the same time, we have also depleted a lot of the devil's ammunition reserves."

"The weapons and ammunition they are equipped with are not blown by the wind, and they use a little less."

"If it can't be replenished in time, then the independent mixed brigade will not have enough ammunition to support it to attack us,"

"Kill two birds with one stone."

The more Li Hao spoke, the more excited he became, and he made a decisive decision: "That's it." ”

"Tell all the guerrillas that they don't have to be in vain to guard such a large treasure trove."

"From now on, they can exchange one bullet from the regimental headquarters if they capture five bullet casings from the devil, and the more bullet casings they send, the more bullets they will exchange."

Hong Linfeng also reacted, and shouted excitedly: "Leader, this is definitely a profitable deal." ”

"The devil has plenty of ammunition and a lot of money, and when he fights, the bullets are fired as if he didn't need money."

"I'm sure if we hit one bullet on the battlefield, they'll get back at least ten bullets."

"That's ten bullet casings, sent to the arsenal, which can produce at least six bullets, two for the partisans, and four for us."

"Not only will the guerrillas earn a bullet for nothing, but the regimental headquarters will also have more and more ammunition reserves."

"Commander, this is a good solution. I immediately sent someone to contact the guerrillas to find a way to consume the devil's ammunition and collect bullet shells. ”
