As for why Li Hu didn't take out the remaining 30 howitzers, it was mainly because he observed the terrain behind Chen Jiatun. There was only one place suitable for an artillery position, and it couldn't fit 50 howitzers! He might as well take out 20 first!
"Hurry up and set up the artillery position. It won't be long before the Japanese arrive!”Li Hu said to the battalion commander of the cloned soldiers that he had just promoted.
"Yes, Guild Leader!"
That's right, Li Hu was asking the cloned soldiers to call him captain!
Not long after, he brought a few bodyguards to the original Japanese outpost in Chenjiatun.
"Have you cleaned up the battlefield?" Li Hu asked Zhang Sanquan.
"Hehe, Chief, we have finished cleaning up. This time, we seized a lot of good things. All of our brothers can change into good rifles, and we also seized a lot of machine guns!”Zhang Sanquan said excitedly. The guns they had used before were all made in Hanyang, and many of them had been flattened.
Now that he had changed into the Japanese's 38 big cover, it was needless to say how happy he was.
"Haha, I will let you use better weapons!”Li Hu smiled and patted Zhang San Quan's shoulder.
"For example, for example, those 16 automatic rifles that our brothers used?”Wang Meng asked with his eyes wide open.
"What 1616? It's called an M16 rifle. It's scary to be uncultured!”Li Hui looked at Wang Meng with disdain.
Wang Meng was not annoyed. He chuckled and said,"Yes, yes, yes. It's the M16 rifle that Second Brother mentioned. Can we use it in the future?”
The group of them had seen clearly just now that the M16 rifle had a total of 30 rounds of ammunition. It could be used up in a minute! It could almost be used as half a light machine gun.
Wasn't he too powerful?
"Don't worry, you'll use it in the future! Alright, now, follow everyone to dig trenches and complete the fortifications. In a few hours, there would probably be a tough battle!”Li Hu said in a deep voice.
"Chief, are we not leaving?" Li Hui said in a stunned manner.
Bandits like them were used to running away after attacking a place.
Now, he was done fighting and not running?
"Chief, are you planning to ambush the Japanese reinforcements?”Zhang Sanquan asked with narrowed eyes.
"That's right. This place is only 50 kilometers away from Jinzhou City. If the Japanese march quickly, they will probably arrive in two hours. When the time comes, we'll give them a pocket war!”Li Hu sneered.
"I'll listen to Chief and beat up the damn devils.”Wang Meng was the first to support! Initially, he was afraid of the Japanese, but after the battle just now, he felt that the Japanese were only so-so. On the contrary, the combat strength of their side had already shown him an unprecedented strength.
In the battle just now, Li Hu's side had only suffered a dozen casualties.
The reason why there were so few casualties was that Li Hu's side was full of all-rounded clone soldiers. Their marksmanship was accurate, their individual combat ability was strong, and they also had excellent weapons.
Especially the M16 rifle, which had an effective range of 600 meters. The Japanese's 318 rifle had a range of 470 meters. Li Hu's clone soldiers fired at a distance of 500 meters from the Japanese, causing the Japanese's bullets to not hit the clone soldiers at all.
As a result, the number of casualties was terrifyingly low!
Moreover, Li Hu realized that the marksmanship of his cloned soldiers was much more accurate than the Japanese. They were indeed an all-rounded army!
……
2 PM.
The two large Japanese teams and a battalion of Imperial Association Army finally arrived three kilometers away from Chen Family Village.
The first captain, Sato, the second captain, Oda, and the commander of the Imperial Association Army, Wu Jintang.
"Matriarchs, the Chen Family Village is in front!”Wu Jintang was in his forties, and he had a mouthful of yellow teeth. He was bowing and fawning over the two captains.
"Yuxi! How's the scout going? Has the enemy left?" Sato asked a subordinate. Not long after they set off, they knew that the Chen Family Tun squadron was about to be wiped out.
Therefore, if the enemy had already left, it would be equivalent to going through the motions. They might stay here for a day or two and leave a portion of them behind.
They did not want to stay in the wilderness.
"Reporting to the two great captains, we have discovered that there are suspected enemies lurking in front of Chen Jiatun!”a captain reported.
"Hmm? The enemy hasn't left?" Oda-kun and Sato-kun looked at each other, and their eyes lit up!
As there was no war here, they had not been promoted in the past few years. Now that they heard that there were enemies lying in ambush in Chen Jiatun, they knew that if they eliminated the enemies, it would be equivalent to a large amount of military merit!
"Oda-kun, what do you think?" Sato said to Oda.
"We will advance another kilometer and then start to arrange the artillery positions. We will first send a small team to test how many soldiers there are in Chen Family Village before making any plans!”Oda-kun said after some thought.
"Yuxi, I think so too!”
"Hahaha! Let's go!"
Therefore, after the Japanese army advanced another kilometer, they stopped two kilometers away from Chenjiatun. The artillery squadron began to look for suitable artillery positions and began to set up artillery positions.
"Battalion Commander Wu!" Sato said to Wu Jintang.
"Taijun, why are you looking for me?" Wu Jintang ran over eagerly.
"Take your troops and test if the enemy is inside and how many people there are!”Sato said coldly.
" This... the Grand Lord..." Wu Jintang's expression suddenly became awkward. Wouldn't he be making them cannon fodder?
However, he did not dare to resist. He could only lead a battalion towards the Chen Family Village with a bitter face.
His battalion had about 300 people, and they didn't even have cannons to fire. They only had guns in their hands.
Seeing that Wu Jintang had gone to carry out his mission, Ito-kun and Oda-kun nodded in satisfaction.
……
In the Chen Family Tun camp.
"Chief, there are enemies coming!”Zhang Sanquan pointed to a distance of about a kilometer ahead. There were already sparse figures.
"It's the Imperial Association Army, the Imperial Association Army that son of a bitch!”
"About 300 to 400 people ~ Chief, should we fight?”Wang Meng looked at Li Hu.
"No hurry, let them in three hundred meters before we fight. Moreover, they did not need to expose all their firepower when fighting. They only needed to expose the firepower of 500 people!”Li Hu immediately passed down the order. He guessed that there must be more ghost soldiers behind the Imperial Association Army!
In this way, he would definitely not expose all his firepower!
