Wen San, who was studying the map, heard faint gunshots in the distance and immediately became alert.
"The Japs are catching up! Their target must be us, but for some unknown reason, they got into trouble with someone else." Li Baisha looked solemn. They had just rested, and the Japs caught up with them. The speed was indeed not slow.
"It should be that they encountered a small group of troops, or a group of defeated troops and refugees. The sound of gunfire was very sparse, so I guess there aren't many people." Gao Xiaobing also joined in.
They are all veterans, so they must have good judgment.
"Company Commander, what are we going to do? Are we going to fix it? This place is not easy to defend. We haven't even dug a trench. We may suffer a loss if we fight face to face." Wang Mazi popped up and said first.
There is certainly some truth to what he said, and he is telling the truth.
Wen San didn't plan to stay here for long. He mainly stayed here to refine the team, distribute equipment, and also have a heart-to-heart talk with the new brothers.
By going back and forth, time is wasted. He didn't expect that the Japanese would come so quickly. You must know that Wen San's team has turned several times during the process. If the Japanese don't have some tricks, it's really not easy to find them.
"Defend? We can't defend this place. Even if there are trenches, they won't be of much use. We have to counterattack directly! The Japanese are coming in such a hurry. They must have been marching all the way. We are already exhausted. We are just waiting for work. Maybe we can fight. They were caught off guard.”
As Wen San spoke, his mind started to move quickly.
He chose to rest here because the terrain here is relatively high and the sightline is relatively wide. On both sides of the road, the vegetation is waist-deep and very lush. It's hard to find people hiding inside.
In fact, this is also a good place for an ambush. Even if there is no danger to defend, there are advantages and disadvantages to each. Rather than letting the devils chase you, it's better to take a bold step.
"Lao Wan's platoon is stationed on the spot. When the Japanese come over, you should open fire as soon as possible. Do it quickly and with fierce firepower. Do not evacuate until the Japanese shells cover a large area."
"Li Baisha's platoon ambush in the grass on the left. Don't shoot yet. After the platoon takes fire, the Japanese will definitely counterattack with all their strength. Heavy weapons are their advantage, and your target is the Japanese heavy weapons. Wait They opened fire when they started to set up artillery, and used all their strength to attack the Japanese artillery. After the attack was successful, they immediately retreated and moved to the side of the hill to prevent the Japanese from dividing their forces to attack Lao Wan and the others."
"Gao Xiaobing, your platoon ambush to the right front. The distance from the hillside cannot be more than 400 meters. After the first and second platoons engage in battle, you attack the enemy's rear and create a multi-faceted pincer attack for the enemy. Your platoon's heavy machine gun remains behind Come down and hand it over to Lao Wan. I will equip you with four light machine guns. Each machine gun has a base amount of ammunition. Let me fire as much as you want! You are the most important part of harvesting the devils. Shoot from behind the devils. You must be fast enough. Accuracy and ruthlessness are indispensable."
The battle plan unfolded in Wen San's mind like a storm, and he made relevant deductions in the shortest possible time. As long as his three platoons are executed well, they will definitely inflict heavy damage on the Japanese.
After all, Wen San is also well-equipped and has plenty of bullets. The soldiers were full of energy, and their successive victories made them transform into elite divisions. With the confidence and capital to dare to fight hard and tough battles.
The three platoon leaders all stared at Wen San. Seeing his determined command and careful planning, they felt a sense of admiration.
"Don't worry, what I said above is not the point. When marching and fighting, don't worry about victory, but first worry about defeat! Before starting the war, we also have to weigh the pros and cons. If the Japanese come with too many troops, such as more than one brigade, then we will After the first row harvests a wave, it must evacuate immediately, and there must be no thought of fighting."
"In this situation, the second and third rows cannot shoot easily, and try not to expose yourself. After the Japanese pursue the first platoon and leave, quickly evacuate, move towards the Wu Fu defense line, and try to join together before the defense line."
"If the Japanese troops are less than one brigade or only one squadron, brothers, we have to work harder. Even if we can't annihilate them all today, we will cripple them! Only one or two hundred people will dare to chase us. Who gave them the courage!"
"Okay, did you hear my order clearly?" Wen San stared at the three of them.
"Listen clearly, I promise to complete the mission!" The three of them shouted together.
"No, it should be strictly implemented according to my plan." Wen San corrected.
Li Baisha and Gao Xiaobing quickly left with their people. On the hillside, only Lao Wan's platoon was left, which was just enough to form a battle formation.
"Lao Wan, you have three heavy machine guns in your hands, and you have plenty of bullets. You must give me an momentum of more than a battalion, and try to scare the Japanese on the opposite side and create corresponding illusions for them. The more you fight here, the more powerful you will be. Be ruthless, and the effect of sneak attacks in the second and third rows will be better."
"As for the heavy firepower of the Japs, in addition to having the second platoon to take care of it, it is also given to me. This is the pocket array I arranged for the Japs. So far, this pocket has not been sealed..."
Pocket warfare is one of the best and most successful tactics used by the old revolutionaries. Wen San took it over without ceremony.
Looking at the grenade on the ground, Wen San smiled a little scary.
"Company commander, are you planning to act alone?" Lao Wan immediately saw what Wen San was thinking. He would smile like this when he was preparing to trick someone.
"No, give Guan Heizi to me. There are so many grenades, I can't take care of them by myself." Wen San pointed at Guan Heizi who was playing with the grenades.
This guy had his two front teeth bared and was looking at Wen San expectantly.
"Well, you have to be careful yourself. If you are gone, this company will be useless." There was only so much that Lao Wanneng could say.
Wen San is the soul of this team, and only under his command can they display extraordinary combat effectiveness.
"Don't worry, the bullets that can kill me, Wen San, haven't been made yet. Heizi, take two grenades and ten shells and follow me."
"Two weapons per person? Can we use it?" Guan Heizi asked curiously when he saw that Wen San was also carrying the same amount of ammunition.
"Don't talk nonsense. The four grenades are placed in two different places. When the second row of soldiers fire, let me bomb the place where the Japs are crowded. After firing two to three shells, immediately move to the distance. It doesn’t need to be too far, just a few meters.”
Wen San was treating grenades as guerrilla warfare. Anyway, the distance is not very far. As long as the coordinates remain unchanged, moving a little distance can still hit the enemy quickly and accurately.
Wen San wanted to create an atmosphere where the army was suppressing the situation, which would put great psychological pressure on the Japanese.
Another reason is naturally that they don't want to lose the manpower who can fire cannons. If they can hit the Japanese, the Japanese gunners can also hit them. Don't doubt the Japanese's reaction speed. Wen San wouldn't have dared to do this if the second platoon hadn't gone all out to target the gunner.
Gunners are so rare. So far, he and Guan Heizi are the only two people who can use this thing.
I really can’t afford the loss!
