Li Feng could clearly sense the change in their expressions. Their attitudes gradually softened after he explained the facts and reasons.
He hurriedly struck the iron hot again and continued,"You are worried that our strength is not enough to eliminate the Japanese. You are worried that the Japanese will counterattack after we launch an attack and cause a large number of casualties to our troops.”
"But you have to have confidence in me. Everyone, you have to know that we are ambushing, not positional warfare.”
"Don't look at us just because we don't have light and heavy machine guns. We have grenade launchers, explosives, grenades, and a lot of bullets.”
"You have to have confidence in yourselves. As long as we eliminate one-third of the Japanese in the first round of attack, we will be able to defeat them.”
"If I use my marksmanship to suppress the Japanese's grenade launchers and machine guns, without the light machine guns and grenade launchers, how can the Japanese fight us with just rifles? What are they going to do to beat us?"
When he said these words, Li Feng was very confident. He had to leave everything to me. You have to believe in my attitude.
At the same time, he was still instilling confidence in everyone. All of this was actually a kind of psychological suggestion.
It was just like the traditional skills of the Eighth Route Army and the mobilization before the battle.
"Platoon leader, let's not talk anymore. Let's drink!"
As expected, as soon as Li Feng said this, Tian Erwa, who had seen Li Feng's Grenade-Throwing Cannon skills, immediately supported him without hesitation.
"Platoon leader, I agree!"
Li Changgong and Wang Fugui had never seen Li Feng's Grenade-Throwing Cannon, but they had seen Li Feng's godly marksmanship.
Now, their blood was boiling. With Tian Erwa's words, the two of them also agreed.
Chen Yuan didn't say anything. He was still an ordinary soldier because the recon squad hadn't been established yet. However, from his expression, it seemed like he had agreed.
"Yes!"
After everyone voted unanimously, Li Feng nodded lightly and said,"Old Tian, you follow the Japanese and send someone to report their movements at any time.”
"We'll go ahead and find an ambush spot.”At this point, Li Feng looked at everyone with a victorious gaze and said,"In this battle, we can only win and not lose. Not only for the Third Platoon, but also for those hundred good men.”
"Yes!" N!
Hearing Li Feng's words, all the soldiers in the platoon responded in unison, their eyes filled with determination and confidence.
After guessing where the Japanese were going, it was easy to find an ambush position because there was only one road to Yungang City.
The Japanese naturally wouldn't take the small road, so soon, Li Feng found a place called Xiangyang Gully on the path that the Japanese had to take.
Xiangyang Gully, as its name suggested, was a north-south trench that was three to four miles long.
The bottom of the ditch was very wide. It was currently noon, and the sunlight covered two-thirds of the bottom of the ditch.
Li Feng personally walked around Xiangyang Gully and confirmed the location of the ambush. Then, he began to assign tasks.
"Old Li, take a squad of four soldiers and ambush at the entrance. When the ambush begins, quickly set up a position to block the Japanese's retreat.”
"Each of you carry four Japanese melon grenades. Remember, you must ensure that there are no casualties among the soldiers.”
Upon hearing Li Feng's words, the first squad leader, Li Changgong, immediately responded and said," Don't worry, platoon leader. Leave it to us!"
"Okay, let's go!"
Li Feng was very assured of Li Changgong and nodded.
Li Changgong saluted Li Feng and led the four soldiers of the first squad, a total of five people including him, to the entrance of Yanggou in the direction of the Japanese.
"Old Wang, you command the soldiers of the second and third squads to start setting up a formation on the spot.”
After sending Li Changgong away, Li Feng said to Wang Fugui, the second class monitor.
"Yes, platoon leader!"
The second squad leader, Wang Fugui, responded and led the soldiers of the second and third squads to get busy.
As for the five new recruits, Wang Fugui brought them along to dig up the ground. They wouldn't be of much use in the war, but they could still do the work.
"Old Chen, give me a hand!”
In fact, there was not much preparation for this ambush. In addition, Li Feng did not have enough resources at his disposal.
Therefore, Li Feng prepared to do it himself and began to modify some convenient weapons.
The explosives that he had gotten from the regiment commander had long been packed into explosive bags by Li Feng.
Just like this time, Li Feng brought five and a half catties of explosives.
Because there were no detonators or fuses, Li Feng thought of a method, which was to tie the explosive pack to the grenade.
The explosive bag was only half a catty and did not weigh much. Using the grenade as a fuse, Li Feng could control the explosion time very well.
At that time, he could pull the grenade and use the throwing skill he had obtained to carry out a precise fixed-point explosion.
In comparison, Grenade attacks were only useful during ambushes. When the Japanese were in chaos, it would not be so useful.
With Chen Yuan's help, Li Feng quickly completed the modification of the five explosive bags, and the ambush position was also quickly completed.
Third Platoon's pre-battle preparations were all ready. As the saying went, everything was ready except for the east wind!
