There were not many Japanese who followed, and the enemy situation was not complicated.
The key is to calculate the enemy's possible outflanking forces and possible tactics.
War in mountainous areas is different from that in plains. Whoever occupies the advantageous location will have the upper hand.
The Eighth Route Army had already measured the general topography of the entire Taihang Mountains.
However, there is always a gap between the floor plan and the actual terrain. Xu Xiaomei, who led the team of friendly forces, was also lucky enough to participate in the meeting because she was more familiar with the actual terrain.
Liu Manhe pointed at the map: "We must first determine the identity of the Japs behind. Are they the advancing team, or part of the advancing team leading other Japs..."
Team Qin hesitated: "I heard that the Japanese advance team will only launch raids on brigade-level troop headquarters. Even when encountering regiment-level headquarters, they just give other Japanese soldiers a position and ignore them. Why would they follow us? "
"You don't have to worry about this. As long as our footprints appear, the little devil will definitely follow us!"
"With the little devil's narrow-mindedness, it's really possible..." Captain Qin had stayed at the Anti-Japanese University for such a long time, so he naturally knew about the entanglement between the secret service group and the advance team. After listening to Liu Manhe's explanation, he immediately understood the reason.
Only Gao Yidao was confused. His first company commander had told him, but he didn't know the specific details.
"The Japanese advance team has a radio station. They can contact other Japanese soldiers at any time, and even mobilize other Japanese soldiers in the mountains to surround us..."
The radio operator not far away suddenly said: "Listen to what Company Commander Ma said, I have a way to know whether they are advancing into the team..."
Liu Manhe was stunned for a moment: "What can we do?"
The mountain ridge was not wide. The radio operator who heard several people talking not far away suddenly said: "It's very simple. As long as the radio station of the Japanese advancing team is turned on, we can measure his approximate location..."
Liu Manhe's eyes lit up: "So powerful?"
"We are a group army. Although we don't have a professional direction finder, we can still test whether there are radio stations nearby..."
"We have to wait until the Japanese radio station is turned on... Also, our battery is low..."
Liu Manhe nodded: "It is not difficult to turn on the Japs radio station. If the battlefield situation changes significantly, we usually send communications to inform nearby troops, and then the Japs will probably send reports through the radio..."
Gao Yidao suddenly said: "Then should we go along the mountain ridge now, or should we follow the friendly forces?"
Liu Manhe glared at Gao Yidao with a dark face: "We have a good location, so we have to hit him twice first to show them..."
Ma Liang drew a high sword, avoided the sight of the friendly radio operator and sighed...
Attack the mountain ridge downwards and take advantage of the terrain. You only need to guard against the Japanese grenades, and you should be completely invincible.
Liu Manhe stood up, drew out his shell gun, and led a platoon to find a better place down the mountain to send the little Japs back to their hometown.
The company commander next to him immediately quit and jumped out to stop him: "Hey, staff officer, it's my turn after all. You should hurry up and study the next move from behind..."
"You dare to arrange for me..."
"Hey, you are the staff officer, and combat is my business..."
The terrain is at a complete disadvantage when it comes to fighting with swords and guns. The Japanese who advance into the team are not as stupid as ordinary Japanese. They will probably not get any advantage in this battle.
Liu Manhe waved his hand pretending to be dissatisfied: "Be careful...it is very likely that you won't be able to capture anything in this battle, so save your ammunition..."
The company commander was extremely excited: "Don't worry, even if you hit him with rocks, it will still be enough for the little devil at the bottom of the mountain to drink a pot..."
Liu Manhe didn't plan to fight the Japanese in close combat this time, so the shell gun was useless.
Of course, it’s even more useless if your shooting skills are poor!
Liu Manhe did not refuse the platoon led by Gao Yidao and the platoon leaders in the student team who were eager to participate in the battle: "Hey, the requirements for participating in this battle are very simple. The gun in your hand must be able to shoot at about a hundred meters. Hit the Japanese in the chest, otherwise don’t follow and join in the fun..."
This staff officer is just like the division commander, his mouth is not clean at all when he is anxious!
A high-ranking professional has a black line, but fighting side by side with the secret service team is completely an honor, and it will definitely last for decades!
He quickly arranged for his soldiers with decent shooting skills, plus a machine gun team, and managed to cobble together a squad and force them into the special agent group.
The student team also recruited a class "platoon leader" with good shooting skills.
One of the students stepped forward hesitantly: "Although I'm a little behind on shooting a 100-meter rifle, I can throw a grenade 100 meters!"
"Fuck, you might be really good at it. Can you throw a grenade a hundred meters? Throw it down a mountain a hundred meters?"
Talking to the chief of staff, the trainee platoon leader was a little nervous and quickly shook his head: "No, I can throw ninety in good condition on the flat ground. Aren't you right or left? It's just a little bit short..."
Yesterday, when people were throwing stones on the mountain ridge, Liu Manhe noticed this person: "Okay, I'll count you in..."
As a result, plus the scouts from the special service regiment who stayed behind to break up the rear, there were just two platoons of more than 60 people who directly participated in the battle.
Captain Qin took the initiative to take over the task of carrying the wounded...
Since they were coalition forces from three different teams, the special company commander directly acted as the commander to start pre-war mobilization: "They are all veterans. I won't go into details. I will emphasize a few issues. First, don't leave each other. If it is too close, try to spread it out as much as possible and set up battlefield observers in squad units.
Everyone has memorized this, this group of devils is unusual. You have to change positions after firing a shot. If anyone dares to fire twice at the same position, I don’t care if you are the platoon leader or the fucking company commander. Don't blame me for greeting your mother...
Second, don’t shoot too fast, don’t shoot if you’re not sure, and don’t scream if you are bitten by a Japs grenade, someone will send you away..."
Third, you are not allowed to throw grenades. When the time is right, get a few rocks nearby and throw them down to kill him...
Fourth, follow the command in all actions. When shooting, everyone must pay attention to the branch in the hand of the observer next to me. When the branch is lowered, no one is allowed to shoot. Only when the branch is raised, please allow shooting. ..
Fifth, when retreating, the machine gun team and the bombardment team will suppress and cover..."
Next to him, Gao Yidao had a black line on his head. He even used the three axes he was best at: bombing, charging, and stabbing. This time he couldn't use any of them...
Ma Liang, who was standing opposite, seemed to look at him with ill intentions...
When he stared back, Ma Liang turned his gaze away...
After emphasizing battlefield discipline, the special agent company commander led the enthusiastic squad of the Second Battalion and the team of students, and began to slide down the hillside gently.
There is a ridge halfway up the mountain, which I had observed before when I went up the mountain.
There is nothing better than blocking.
The scouts who stayed behind on the mountainside, except for the correspondent with the shell gun, had to withdraw to the mountain ridge unwillingly.
Occupying the advantageous location, the Japs would certainly not be able to deploy on the mountain road, so they simply gave up the suppression with the machine guns they brought. This time, they would shoot at each other with the Japs to see whose marksmanship was more accurate.
The good positions near the middle of the mountain road were all occupied by the spy company commander and his people.
The soldiers in Gao Yidao's squad looked left and right, and had to disperse to the left...
The special agent company commander began to patrol from side to side, and kept shouting: "I have recorded it all. Make more bush camouflage on your head. Even when you change shooting positions, you must keep the camouflage in place. ..”
At the top of the mountain ridge, the soldiers who scouted the north and south soon returned and reported to Liu Manhe.
"Report, the road to the north is not easy..."
"The road to the west is not easy to walk..."
Liu Manhe nodded: "Then go down the mountain to the west and reconnoiter to the south..."
The radio operator not far away from Liu Manhe was stunned for a moment. Isn't this the same path as the staff officer and the others?
It seems that Battalion Commander Zhang and his staff are taking the right path...
"No, go north..." As soon as Xu Xiaomei opened her mouth, Wang Yinzhi, who was sitting next to her, grabbed her arm: "Don't talk..."
"What are you doing here? It's obvious that the west side..."
The big dog who had been watching coldly next to him suddenly shouted: "Shut up!"
(Thank you to the brothers who have been voting for recommendations, monthly votes, rewards, subscriptions, comments, and picking up typos...)

According to the memoirs of his ancestors, Liu Cheng was calm-minded and rarely anxious under normal circumstances. When he was really anxious, he would speak openly... Of course, he would also make some unbridled jokes with his subordinates with whom he had a good relationship...
