Hu Yi has been fighting for many years, so he naturally knows the importance of knowing yourself and the enemy.
One thing that always makes him feel uncomfortable is that he still hasn't figured out the true purpose of the partition in the battle against Wang Taigong's bandits.
Even if there is no battle plan, even if it is a strategic shift, there should be a general goal.
He knew very well that on the surface it was about wiping out reactionary sects and bandits, but in fact it was definitely more than that.
"Xinxiang" in the south has been circled several times on the map. It is estimated that if it is circled twice more, it will become a hole.
Five years ago, I started from this city not far to the south and participated in the Battle of Songhu...
The dead Wang Laoji...the big guy...the silly boy...Su Qing, the Japanese heavy artillery...fled...to join the Eighth Route Army alone...
Starting from a team of three people...the Japanese's khaki-colored steel helmets...
battalion commander? I really don’t feel anything special, it was bloody and bloody along the way...
I can't remember many people's faces, but only some of their names still come to mind occasionally...
Villagers...bandits
"Fox! Hey...Fox...you've been looking at this crappy map for a long time, come out quickly!" The girl stood outside the window and called to Hu Yi who was in a daze.
Hu Yi was not annoyed at all when his thoughts were interrupted by the crisp voice.
It seemed that all the pictures and all the doubts suddenly disappeared. He raised his head and forced out a smile: "What's the matter?"
"Eat roasted sweet potatoes!" The girl held a black object as big as her little fist in her hand and handed it in through the window.
"Where did it come from?" Hu Yi answered subconsciously. The war was about to begin, and only Yatou and Luo Fugui still had the leisure.
"Bought from the landlord's house."
Hu Yi was stunned for a moment: "The work team took away all the people in the village... Where did the landlord come from?"
"How do I know? The mule found it in the cellar of that big house..." The girl added: "Don't worry, the mule paid for it."
"how many?"
"It's a bit much. I'm afraid it weighs over a thousand kilograms. There are also red dates and a can of wine. Do you want it?"
"How much money does a mule have?" Hu Yi frowned. He almost didn't care about what Luo Fugui liked to seize.
"I don't know, but the Huahua note must be several kilograms..." After saying that, he turned around and climbed up to the roof from the ladder next to him.
Not long.
There was a rush of footsteps outside the yard, and Vice Captain Geng ran to the window without taking a breath: "Report to Hu Lian...Bing Commander Hu, the Huang County bandits left the city half an hour ago. After leaving the city, they divided into three groups and attacked us. This direction is coming!”
Hu Yi was stunned for a moment: "Half an hour ago? The county seat is dozens of miles away from here... How did your news come so fast?"
Captain Geng smiled proudly: "Hey, there are our people in the turret to the north..."
"Artillery building? Isn't there a Japanese instructor inside?"
"Hehe, I can't tell you about this. By the way, half of the bandits are riding horses and bicycles. If nothing else happens, they should arrive in about four hours!"
"Cycling team?" The girl greeted her enthusiastically from the rooftop with wide eyes and a bright smile: "Captain Geng, come up and eat sweet potatoes?"
"No, I still have to work... Hey, why are you going to the roof to make such a big cigarette? I can see it from five miles away!"
"Just to let the bandits know that we are still here, how can he know if we don't get some cigarettes..."
"Forget it, you girl is so generous. You can bask in the sun slowly and leave two for me after baking..." Vice Captain Geng was speechless. He took the sweet potato that the girl dropped and just tore off the skin, and followed Hu Yi said hello, turned around and left.
Hu Yi did not go up to the roof, but returned to the house. His thick eyebrows knitted together under the brim of his hat, and he looked at the map carefully for a long time.
The intelligence system of the division is really powerful. According to the bandits' march, they should be able to arrive before dark.
He knew exactly what the bandits were planning.
According to the habits of bandits, most of them plan to take advantage of the dark to fish in troubled waters. Even if something goes wrong then, it will be easy to escape after dark and escape from the pursuers.
Even if you have a team of one or two thousand people, you can't change the rules passed down by the ancestor.
Hu Yi couldn't bear to dwell on these issues anymore. Fighting bandits was often just about building momentum, and no amount of analysis was useless!
He walked out of the house in a few steps and waved to Xu Xiao, who was sitting on the edge of the bungalow and watching Luo Fugui roasting sweet potatoes.
Xu Xiao turned around and jumped off the roof. After standing firm, he put his hands on his chest as a salute: "Hey, battalion commander, what's the matter?"
Hu Yi almost couldn't help but kick him: "Go and ask someone immediately to inform Ma Liang, Tian Sanqi, Li Xiang... and Tang Dagou to come here for a meeting."
The first meeting of the establishment of the Nine Battalions... was held very irregularly.
Ma Liang, Li Xiang, Tian Sanqi, Luo Fugui, and Chen Chong, who had just been mentioned as company commanders, totaled five, and now there were four of them gathering sweet potatoes around the fire.
Hu Yi didn't attach much importance to the promotion, and directly announced that the promotion was over.
Who knows if after a big battle, the Ninth Battalion will be knocked back to its original shape and become the Ninth Company?
Half an hour later, four company commanders and one platoon commander gathered together.
Ma Liang looked at the girl who frowned: "Hey, girl, why don't you join my company and be a platoon leader? You are the oldest person in our battalion. Don't go to the anti-resistance university and study at that time. You are the only one holding the position." nothing."
"Tch, my aunt has even served as regimental commander for two days. If she is the deputy battalion commander, then...it's almost..." The girl glanced at Hu Yi who had just left the room below.
Tian Sanqi next to him said seriously: "I heard from Sister Su Qing that some people are in the armed work force!"
The girl was stunned for a moment: "What did you say? How could I be in the work team?"
Tian Sanqi explained: "According to the requirements of superiors, the minimum official member of the armed work team must be at the platoon level. You have no one under you anyway, so it is best to go to the work team to promote...it is best to do mass work."
"Working under the vixen? She has a great idea. I will find Commander Lu when we get back! Let's add another company to our ninth battalion!"
The big dog curled his lips: "You can add more if you want?"
"What? You are not convinced, my aunt... when the time comes, we will set up a special agent company. I will envy you to death!"
"It's so awesome. I think you should lead a militia company. All you perform are special tasks, farming, washing... and nursing children."
"roll..."
Li Xiang interrupted: "It depends on whether Luo Fugui agrees..."
Everyone was stunned for a while before finally reacting, and immediately burst into laughter.
Luo Fugui next to him stared at Li Xiang: "You don't speak... no one thinks you are mute!"
After speaking, he took out a hot sweet potato that he had just taken out of the fire and threw it directly to Li Xiang: "This is baked!"
Li Xiang was so burned that he showed his teeth and cracked his teeth, so he quickly rolled up his clothes.
Hu Yi happened to follow the stairs to the roof and said without any nonsense: "I received the news that the bandits are currently divided into three groups. They should arrive at the northern blockade trench around three or four in the afternoon. They will first inquire about the information from the Japanese security forces in the turret. , rest for a while, and form an offensive formation must be before and after dark!"
"Brother... battalion... commander... just give the order..." Ma Liang took the lead in expressing his stance.
Hu Yi nodded and issued an order directly: "Ma Liang!"
"arrive!"
"Let go of the front, and lead a platoon to ambush the village about three miles to the north and east. After controlling the villagers, lay mines in the village. Be sure to remember the location, and then use private houses to set up positions. There is no need to make special arrangements such as trenches. After the battle starts , fight as many bandits as you can, remember clearly, and retreat southward within half an hour after dark."
"Yes!" Ma Liang stood up immediately, and then asked cautiously: "What if we are surrounded by bandits?"
"If you have a platoon of troops, the bandits will definitely test it first. At most, there will be no more than one company to surround the village, and there will definitely not be more troops! Even if he does have more than one company to surround the village, most of them will be surrounded by several groups of bandits. The Taoists are united together, and if it is difficult for you to lead a platoon to break through, you can come back and continue to be the platoon leader."
After Hu Yi finished speaking, he glanced at Ma Liang. Ma Liang blushed and shouted: "Promise to complete the task!"
"Li Xiang, you are responsible for commanding the remaining soldiers of Ma Liang Company to set up positions using civilian houses. Remember, do not dig trenches or lay mines. After the horses are withdrawn, you should not move for the time being. The bandits will usually wait and see at this time. You and Ma Liang will be divided again. Fight the bandits at all levels, and after the battle begins, no counterattack is allowed, and we must hold fast in the village."
"Yes." Hu Yi said clearly, and Li Xiang was unambiguous.
"Tian Sanqi!"
"arrive."
"You lead people east, bypass the bandits' frontal attack team, cross the blockade ditch, pretend to be bandits and cross the blockade line, then go straight behind the bandits and attack from both front and back."
Tian Sanqi was stunned for a moment: "The village in the north is very close to the Japanese artillery tower. Is it too close?"
Hu Yi looked at the spring sunshine: "If you feel there is a problem, you can change places with the big dog."
"Promise to complete the mission!"
"After Wang Peng and Gao Yidao get into a fight with the bandits, I will lead a company of soldiers to launch a counter-encirclement against the bandits from the south!" Hu Yi nodded calmly: "If we can't even defeat the bandits, we can't. Just go back to the wine station and forget it."
