Chapter 168: The Latest Enemy Situation
Just looking at the battlefield where there were still large pools of blood, Li Ziyuan sighed a little in his heart, and now the mines in his hand have been consumed. Otherwise, I can still think of some solutions. Even if the reinforcements from the Japanese puppet army have an absolute advantage in terms of strength, they can 'get some trouble' for them. Give the devils who may appear more 'excited'.
But it's a pity that now I have a lot of ammunition on hand, except for the ammunition 'medicine', there is not a single mine left. Not only have the mines allocated by the military sub-districts been consumed, but even those land mines that they have made themselves have also been consumed. Even the yellow dynamite and black fire dynamite have been exhausted.
Although the mine will not take the initiative to find the enemy to blow up, in this kind of ambush warfare, there is still a little difference in the effect of whether there is a mine or not. Without the cooperation of the mines, Li Ziyuan felt a little like he was missing something. But he didn't do anything, didn't dig a hole for the Japanese army at all, and it didn't quite fit Li Ziyuan's 'sex' character.
At the moment, he doesn't want to fight to the death with the Japanese puppet army. His strength is limited, and he has to fight hard to even run out of the old foundation. The previous time I was forced to do so, but this time I can't make trouble for myself. The capital in his own hands is still far from the point of being rich.
But with the mines gone, traps can still be set. Before the old superior left, he left so many grenades for himself, and he got a large number of Japanese-made grenades this time. In addition to Guo Laosan, an expert figure who sets traps, he is sorry for himself if he doesn't 'get something' out.
After thinking about it, after Li Ziyuan found Guo Laosan, the two of them muttered quietly for a long time according to the terrain, and then used branches on the ground to compare and draw for a long time. Li Ziyuan asked Guo Laosan to take a team and carry a box of captured Japanese-style grenades to prepare carefully.
Looking at Guo Laosan's back, He Huizhang came over and said, "Captain, do you think the little devil will come?" Why do I feel a little hanging? The gunfire on this side has subsided, even if the Japanese puppet army from the north is put over on the main side. But those Japanese puppet soldiers are not stupid, and they have to come over now that they are so calm. ”
Li Ziyuan, who was holding a piece of grass in his mouth and holding a telescope and was observing from a distance, heard He Huizhang's question and smiled: "I said that Lao He should put his heart in his stomach, the little devil will definitely come here." The little devils, like us, are typical Orientals, and they pay attention to the war dead. ”
"In this battle, the little devils have lost hundreds of people, in addition to wanting revenge. Whenever possible, they cremated the war dead and sent their ashes home. If the corpses of hundreds of Japanese soldiers were thrown here like this, the commanders of the surrounding Japanese troops would probably step down. ”
"The losses of our own troops were not light before, but now the old chief has left us with a fully formed company. Now we have quite enough ammunition at hand. Don't be a devil, let's all be sorry for the current weapons and equipment and the ammunition 'medicine' reserves on hand. ”
It's just that after Li Ziyuan finished speaking, He Huizhang frowned and said, "Captain, if it's really like what you said, the devil will definitely come." But we don't know the enemy situation now, how many devils can come, we don't have any number in our hearts now. If this comes too much at once, will we still have a chance to do it? Don't steal the 'chicken' again when the time comes. ”
"I just heard from a staff officer of the main force that this time the little devils have made great efforts to sweep our Taihang base area. The scale of the troops invested and the areas swept up are unprecedented. If we are bitten by devils here, then the consequences are difficult to say. ”
Looking at He Huizhang's somewhat worried expression, Li Ziyuan shook his head and said, "Old He, you old ghost, why don't you turn your head at this time." More than 500 Japanese troops, can we swallow them in one bite? The devil is not stupid, he must know that the main force has also participated in the war. Their big army will not take our small army in their eyes. ”
"The devils are so arrogant, they always think that one of their fully formed brigades can defeat a division of the Jin Sui Army. A wing can defeat an army of the squadron. Even a squadron can defeat a regiment of our Eighth Route Army. If we have more than 200 people and too many troops are dragged down, won't they put their status too low? ”
"And no matter what the purpose of the Japanese army's sweep is, there is one main intention to destroy our main force and seize our headquarters as much as possible. This time the main force took the initiative to attack, which was a rare opportunity for the Japanese army, which had never been able to capture the main force. ”
"Therefore, the main target of the devil's sweep is still the main force. Now that the main forces have been withdrawn, the devils will not leave too many troops in the eastern part of Hubei. Their brigade still has to find our troops for a decisive battle. The little devil is not stupid, and he will not put too much 'essence' on our Tubalu. ”
"There is another question, the devil has suffered such a big loss this time, and he is bound to take revenge. If he can't catch us, he will definitely spread his anger on the heads of the common people. If we don't find a way to hurt the devils and let them withdraw from the mountainous areas in the eastern part of Hubei, the people in this area will be unlucky. ”
"Our strength is limited, and after a hard fight with the devil, Lao Tzu will become the commander of the light pole. Instead of passively extinguishing fires everywhere at that time, it is better for us to take the initiative to find fighters, 'pump' the cold and give the little devils a few knives while the little devils are not paying attention, and firmly grasp the initiative in our own hands. ”
"Besides, we don't have to fight another battle here. There are too many devils, so we can leave. If he doesn't come, we'll stab him. When the time comes, we will decide whether to fight or not according to the situation. It's not so dogmatic to die, and there will be another fight here. ”
"But if you really fight, your Lao He's eyes have to be brighter for Lao Tzu. Your grenadier should scrap the devil's light and heavy machine guns as soon as the battle begins. Your grenadier canister, Lao Tzu still expects it to suppress the Japanese machine-gun fire and reduce our own casualties. ”
"Also, you should also pay attention when you steal after you go back, don't just swagger and drill into the house of the people's 'women' rescue club day and night. Our troops are still disciplined, you old ghost, don't always make trouble for me. I can keep you for the rest of my life, but I can't keep you for the rest of my life. Either you take care of your 'trousers' belt, or I'll cut it for you and save you trouble all day. ”
Li Ziyuan's these made He Huizhang stunned for a moment, 'touched' his nose and smiled a little embarrassed. However, he has been in the Eighth Route Army for a while, and he also knows that he is 'wrong' in some aspects, and it is not a big deal when he is there. But here, it's a violation of discipline. I'm also changing, but isn't the problem a buffer of time?
Seeing that He Huizhang didn't speak, Li Ziyuan also scratched his head and didn't continue on this topic, and besides, now is not the time to talk about these things. After beating the congratulatory chapter, Li Ziyuan still put his 'essence' on the preparation for the next step. But in the end, whether to fight or withdraw, he is still waiting for Liu Lianming, who went out to reconnoitre, to bring it back before he can make the next decision.
Although from the heart, Li Ziyuan is still ready to fight. When talking to He Huizhang, he was also ready to fight. But Li Ziyuan is not the kind of stunned young man who doesn't care about anything, he also has to look at the enemy situation to make a final decision. At the moment, the gunfire in the north has stopped, and it is not known whether the main force has withdrawn or if there are other problems.
How many enemies will come, Li Ziyuan is also a little uncertain. So he decided to see if he had no chance yet, and after 'touching' the fish in the troubled waters, he sent Liu Lianming out to reconnoiter the enemy's movements as soon as possible. Be prepared and be prepared, whether you fight or not depends on the change of the situation.
Just when Li Ziyuan was pondering what action the Japanese puppet army would take next after the Okazaki detachment was wiped out here. Liu Lianming, who went out to reconnoitre, has already rushed back. And beside him was a correspondent of the communications platoon of the military division.
Looking at this correspondent who was carrying a barge gun with a large nose in one hand, covering his arm with the other, and didn't know where the military hat was flying, Li Ziyuan frowned and said, "Xiao Zhang, what's going on?" Commander Wang just evacuated with his troops, why are you here again? Did you encounter the Japanese army on the way? ”
Hearing Li Ziyuan's question, the correspondent hurriedly said, "Captain Li, I'm from the divisional headquarters. The commander asked me to tell you that the speed at which the Japanese army encircled the entire Taihang base area was noticeably accelerating. After the main force 'pumped' troops to attack the Okazaki detachment, the surrounding Japanese puppet army was going all out to encircle Licheng and Hubei. ”
More than 2,000 Japanese troops in Licheng have crossed the Qingzhang River and quickly encircled the mountainous area west of Licheng through the mountainous area southeast of Lucheng. More than 900 Japanese troops and more than 1,000 puppet troops dispatched from Changzhi had already entered the mountains from Luoma and Qiaokou in two ways, preparing to sweep the mountainous areas in the eastern part of Hubei. ”
"And an infantry brigade of the Japanese army dispatched from Tunliu, reinforcing a part of the puppet army, has now entered the territory of Ludong, and is cooperating with the Japanese puppet army in Ludong to sweep the mountainous area east of Hubei. According to the judgment of the divisional headquarters, it is very likely that the Japanese army now thinks that the main force of our Taihang Military Region is hiding at the 'junction' between Hubei and Licheng. ”
"On my way here, I had an encounter with a plainclothes reconnaissance force of the Japanese army. If it weren't for Captain Liu, I probably wouldn't have been able to rush here. Now all the 'crossing' lines from Ludong to Hubei have been tightly blocked by the Japanese puppet army. Divisional Command orders you to prepare to jump to the outside line to fight. ”
"On the way here, I met two companies led by Commander Wang, and he asked me to convey the orders of my superiors to you. I am telling you a word, don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, and pay attention to maintaining the vitality. Don't be too hasty when making up your mind. ”
After Xiao Zhang just 'handed over' the task that his superiors 'handed over' to Li Ziyuan, Liu Lianming also said: "Captain, I'm afraid your next decision won't be able to do it here." Xiao Zhang was talking about the information he received when he arrived from the division, and now the situation has changed a little. The Japanese puppet army dispatched from Changzhi has already passed Qiaokou, and the vanguard of the Japanese puppet army in Licheng in the east has also arrived less than 20 kilometers east of us. ”
"If we choose to fight here, I'm afraid it won't take more than an hour, and the surrounding Japanese puppet army will quickly close over. Captain, what you should be thinking about now is what we're going to do next. Just as instructed by the superiors, the Japanese puppet army advanced quite fast. ”
