On the other side, after Tian Erwa and Wang Fugui met up, the people under the two of them could be transferred. In order to send more accurate information to Li Feng and prevent them from going astray, they sent two people back to convey the message.
Thus, when Li Feng led Third Platoon less than five miles away from Little Liu Village, they met Wen Le who had returned to report.
"Platoon Leader, the Japanese are still heading north. Squad Leader Wang and Squad Leader Tian guessed that the Japanese are going to Yungang City with these captives.”Wen Le hurriedly reported when he saw Li Feng.
Yungang City?
Hearing this, Li Feng frowned at first, but then he felt relieved.
The Japanese were a country with a shortage of resources. Yungang City had been producing minerals since ancient times. Therefore, the Japanese were probably dragging these prisoners of war to the mines in Yungang City to make fun of them.
Thinking of this, Li Feng immediately said,"Wen Le, you lead the way."
"Yes, sir!"
Wen Le responded and walked at the front of the group, leading the way.
I'm walking,
The three brothers of the Wen family had all become scouts this time, constantly sending messages.
Time passed. Another hour and a half passed. When it was almost noon, Li Feng finally led the main force of the third platoon to meet up with Tian Erwa and Wang Fugui.
"Platoon Leader!" 2!
Seeing Li Feng arrive, Tian Erwa and Wang Fugui hurriedly bowed.
"How's the situation?!"
Li Feng nodded lightly. Then, under the lead of the two, he looked at the Japanese soldiers who were marching forward.
"Platoon leader, this is a standard Japanese infantry squad. They have three light machine guns and three grenade launchers.”
"We can now confirm that the destination of these Japanese is Yungang City.”
"After my investigation, I found out that the captives that the Japanese are escorting are all men.”
"Because there were nearly six hundred prisoners of war that arrived in Yu County this time. Only this one hundred or so people did not surrender. The rest were all spineless and became the lackeys of the Japanese.”
Hearing Li Feng's question, Wang Fugui and Tian Erwa looked at each other. In the end, Tian Erwa spoke.
"Mm, not bad!"
Li Feng was very satisfied with the two's clear discussion. As expected of the old Red Army, their experience and analytical skills were very strong.
Moreover, he had done a good job in his investigation and had the qualities of a grassroots military officer.
However, this was not surprising. Wang Fugui and Tian Erwa looked like squad leaders now, but they were platoon leaders during the Red Army.
Only but the troops downsizing ability descending down, they actually all have the troops experience, later with the Eighth Route Army's development and growth, they all have the battalion level of the officers.
"Old Tian, bring some men and continue to monitor the Japanese. We will go ahead and find an ambush point.”
Without hesitation, Li Feng immediately said,"This time, I've decided to start with this Japanese team.”
Hearing Li Feng's words, everyone revealed a trace of hesitation on their faces.
They were not as confident as Li Feng. Ambushing a Japanese team with just 20 of them was a bit too difficult.
"Sergeant, isn't it a little risky for us to do this?”Li Changgong, the first squad leader who came with Li Feng, said.
Everyone had fought with the Japanese before. Although they had won, there were many casualties. This made everyone very clear about the combat strength of the Japanese.
"Yeah, platoon leader, the difference in strength between us and the Japanese is a little big!”Tian Erwa followed suit.
Wang Fugui and Chen Yuan didn't speak, but the expressions on their faces also expressed that they didn't support Li Feng's order.
Everyone was experienced in combat. They knew very well that there were many variables in Li Feng's decision. The chances of winning were too low.
"You all think so? Don't you agree with us fighting this battle?”
Hearing everyone's objection, Li Feng did not forcefully use his identity as a platoon leader to pass this mission. Instead, he asked.
"Mmm!" 4!
The four of them nodded.
"Sigh ~!"
Seeing the four people's attitude, Li Feng could not help but sigh and say,"Comrades, it's not that I want to take such a risk, but this is a great opportunity for our Third Platoon to develop.”
"Do you know why I asked Old Terry and Old Wang to bring people to inquire about the prisoners of war? That's because we lack manpower, and because of the frontlines, we naturally have many prisoners of war.”
"If we can rescue the prisoners of war, we will be able to obtain a large number of soldiers. Moreover, these are trained veterans with combat experience.”
At this point, Li Feng pointed at the hundreds of captives who were being chased away by the Japanese team and said,"Do you see these brothers?"
"As long as we eliminate these Japanese, not only will we have weapons and equipment, we will also have a good source of soldiers. Our Third Platoon will be able to develop better.”
As soon as Li Feng said this, everyone fell into deep thought. They also began to think about this matter.
Previously, they had also thought about Li Feng's idea, but they did not consider the core. Now that Li Feng said this, everyone suddenly came to a realization.
"So that's what the platoon leader thinks!”
Initially, everyone did not want to fight, but slowly, they began to loosen up. Just as Li Feng said, this was indeed a good opportunity.
