Chapter 22: Ambush in the Forest
Early in the morning, there were a chaotic sound of footsteps in Maying Town, and passers-by stopped to watch, only to find that it was the militia group pouring out. The sound of shouts and gun butts hitting people resounded in the streets, and the militia began to use guns to dislodge pedestrians.
"The militia has beaten people!" The news quickly spread throughout the town. Everyone hid in the corner or in the crack of the door to watch the militia and watch the group leave, but no one wanted to show their faces. Looking at it like this, the militia group didn't know if Gao was happy, but Zhou Wanhe was not happy. Riding on a tall horse, yawning.
"This group of Diao people, it is difficult for Lao Tzu to get a good night's sleep. I had to get up early in the morning to clean up this group of mud legs, and I really went back more and more. While thinking about it in pieces, he was frantically dissing his master. Of course, he doesn't care if he will be heard, he is surrounded by his own people, and no one will tell him.
And even if it's a whistleblower, he will be scolded on his side, and the one who informs will have to eat the family law, and if he can't go up, he may lose his life. So Zhou Wanhe doesn't care, and he doesn't care.
The militia walked out of the town with a big grin, thinking about the direction of Han Jiayu and walking slowly. But none of them noticed that there was a pair of eyes in the grass staring at these people. When these people walked out of the town towards Han Jiayu, the eyes disappeared.
Han Jiayu.
Early in the morning, Li Qinghe had just gotten up, washed his face and was ready to eat, when Zhang Niu, Wang Ergou and a soldier hurriedly ran in, "Captain, the militia is dispatched." ”
Li Qinghe didn't even care about eating, so he hurriedly took out the map of Jidong and looked at it carefully, "How many people are there?" ”
"There are a lot of them, and a large crowd of people have come out of the town to come to us." Obviously, Li Qinghe will never be satisfied with this answer, and he will not ask for an ambiguous plan no matter what.
"Is there a specific number?"
The militiaman gestured excitedly with his hand, "It's much older, it's all people, and it's a very large crowd." One uncertain concept after another popped out of the militiaman's mouth, making Li Qinghe's brows furrow completely.
This kind of quantifier without any data is very bad for Li Qinghe's judgment, Li Qinghe is not afraid of many people, but he is afraid of not knowing how many people. However, the militia never uttered any real concept of numbers, which would have misled and misjudged the ensuing battle.
"Oh, you name a specific number, don't use those words here." Zhang Niu was a little impatient, "How can we make a judgment without a specific number." The militia also gestured anxiously, but there was still no specific value, which could only make the two more and more anxious.
At this time, Li Qinghe suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Is the militia all dispatched?" The militia nodded hurriedly, "That's right, that's it, all the militias have come out." ”
"The first time we saw the militia was to annihilate 12 militia members, and the second time we annihilated 40 militia members. According to the old village chief, the total number of militia members is about 160. To sum up, the number of vigilante groups dispatched this time is 108 people. Li Qinghe immediately completed this elementary school calculation problem, and then said with a smile: "108, one hundred singles and eight generals, I didn't expect that we would have a day when the heroes of Liangshan came to fight in person." ”
"Squad leader, just tell me how to fight this battle, we are ready to fight these guys at any time." Zhang Niu shouted, he was belligerent and had already wanted to touch this group of militias.
"Zhang Niu, be cautious in war, not in danger. Our soldiers are not old comrades-in-arms who climbed snowy mountains and crossed grasslands, but a group of peasants who have just laid down their hoes. Don't underestimate it, our level is not yet formed. ”
Before Zhang Niu could speak, the militia was unhappy, "Captain, we are not people who are afraid of death, everyone wants our lives." We're sure we'll be able to pick up the guys too. ”
Li Qinghe ignored it, but said to Zhang Niu: "After this battle, we can consider expanding the number of troops to about 100 people." I'm still too conservative, the situation is special, we need a lot of soldiers. ”
The two tugged at the corners of their mouths, and Wang Ergou was a little embarrassed: "Captain, there are too many people, and the two of us can't bring them." "I'll help you bring it," Li Qinghe immediately said, "Moreover, there are only more than 20 people per person, what's not to bring?" ”
"Also, the training schedule is going to change. From the end of this campaign, the troops reduced the time of training in the queue and increased the training of shooting and tactical maneuvers. I still don't think it's realistic, our situation is too special, and we have to speed up and time. Our situation is probably even more precarious and tense. ”
"By the way," Li Qinghe then drew his attention back to this soldier, "When will the militia arrive in our Hanjiayu?" ”
The fighters of the militia thought for a moment, "According to the normal foot strength, they should arrive at Hanjiayu at noon." However, the militia group can't suffer much, and it is estimated that the road is stop-and-go, and it is possible that they will only be able to get to Hanjiayu in the afternoon. ”
"Okay, let me ask you, are there any mountains, hills, or jungles along the way?" Li Qinghe knows very well that now he is fighting more with less, even if the other party is a weak and vulnerable existence like the militia group, he is still very cautious.
"Yes." The soldier's words made Li Qinghe's eyes light up, "Captain, between our Hanjiayu and the Xie Jiazhuang below, there is a small forest, and here is the only road from Hanguanying Town to our Hanjiayu, and it is also the nearest road. As he spoke, the warrior pointed out the approximate location.
"That's it!" Li Qinghe slapped his thigh, "Zhang Niu, immediately notify the troops to assemble, distribute weapons and ammunition, and go to this grove to set up an ambush." Wang Ergou, how many grenades do we have? ”
Wang Ergou calculated, "I got 16 from the Japanese puppet army before, and then I got 22 from the militia, a total of 38." ”
Li Qinghe nodded, "Give it all to me, I'll be of great use." Also, you will organize the villagers and prepare to carry the materials later, if we win this battle, then we can solve this traitor Zhou Laosi. And it's very likely that we'll get a lot of supplies, and the villagers will get a lot of food. We need the villagers to carry the supplies, and the mobilization of the villagers is up to you. ”
Soon, two large boxes were moved to Li Qinghe, and Li Qinghe instructed him to get some fine hemp rope. After explaining the rest to the two of them, Li Qinghe set off first and went to the woods.
If you want to win this battle, you have to use some brains and ideas. Li Qinghe was not prepared to be able to repel the attack of more than 100 people just by relying on the ambush of more than 20 people, he had to lay out first in order to have a chance of winning.
When everything in the village was ready, Zhang Niu set off with his troops, and Wang Ergou followed behind with the villagers, heading towards the grove.
In a place that everyone didn't notice, Li Qinghe was carrying a large bundle of rope and two grenade boxes, and began to work in the forest. When faced with inferior firepower and numbers, Li Qinghe naturally wanted to weaken the enemy to the same level or even lower than himself.
As for how to weaken it, his idea was to place a considerable number of tricks in this forest. The militia is not a Japanese army, and they have no awareness of guarding against treacherous mines. Even the Japanese army will not guard against tricks, because the Japanese army will not think that the guerrillas will arrange tricks. In such a small forest, they could only crash into the thunder again and again, and then kowtow and bleed.
