"Old leader!"
Back at the command center, Zhao Yiqing saw the deputy general staff and his men rushing over from the Munitions Factory. He hurriedly saluted them.
"Yes!"
Seeing Zhao Yiqing, the deputy chief of staff nodded and said,""We've seen your battle plan.”
"This time, we only brought our eyes and not our mouths. I hope that your garrison team can let us watch a big show.”
When the Deputy Chief of Staff said this, both Zhao Yiqing and Xu Wenqing were slightly stunned. Then, the pressure on their shoulders increased.
"Please rest assured, leaders. Our garrison team will definitely fight this battle well.”Finally, Zhao Yiqing promised the deputy chief of staff and the others on behalf of the entire garrison.
"Alright, tell me your current arrangements!”
The deputy chief of staff and the others nodded at Zhao Yiqing's assurance and went straight to the point.
"Right now, the ambush position in Youlou ditch has been set up.”
As he spoke, Zhao Yiqing pointed at the bottom of Youlou Ravine and the middle of the road."We buried some explosives there as the first wave of attack.”
"At the same time, the thirteen mortars of our artillery company have been prepared. Because our artillery company is mainly made up of recruits, in order to increase the accuracy, we have divided the entire battlefield into sections and marked these positions.”
"After that, each mortar will be responsible for a few areas. When the bombardment begins, except for the two mortars controlled by Company Commander Lu Dingguo, there will be an observer for each mortar.”
"The observer is responsible for finding the target and reporting it to the corresponding gunner to complete the accurate bombardment.”
When Zhao Yiqing said this, the eyes of the deputy chief of staff and the others lit up. This method seemed to be very dogmatic, but it was a good method to deal with the newbie artillery.
"Sure, this idea is not bad. After this battle is over, let the comrades of the artillery company write this method in detail and then promote it to the entire army.”The deputy chief of staff immediately made the decision.
"Yes, sir!"
Zhao Yiqing hurriedly nodded when he heard that and remembered this matter in his heart.
"At the same time, we also ordered the 4th Company responsible for closing the gate. After the battle started, they took out two soldiers from each squad and set up a mine field along the main road of the Japanese retreat.”
Zhao Yiqing chuckled and said,""Hehe, this is the first time we've used a mine in actual combat. I hope this thing can bring us some surprises.”
……
Youlou ditch's garrison was busy.
Zhang Peng, the 1st Company Commander, led the 1st Company Platoon to meet up with the recon platoon.
"Old Du, the captain asked me to come and support you. At the same time, he gave us a mission. He wants us to stall the Japanese for at least two hours so that our main force can build an ambush position.”
When he met Du Guoming, Zhang Peng told him about Zhao Yiqing's orders and the brigade's battle plan.
"Yes!"
Hearing Zhang Peng's words, Du Guoming nodded slightly. He pondered for a moment and said,""The Japanese are resting. It will take more than ten minutes for us to set off again.”
"I looked at the road to Youlou Gully. There are several places with good terrain. We can try to build a few blocking positions. On the one hand, we can delay the footsteps of the Japanese, and at the same time, we can lure them into our ambush position.”
"However, the pressure of two hours is not small. We must be mentally prepared.”
Hearing Du Guoming's words, Zhang Peng also nodded and said,""Alright, we'll do as you say!"
Next, the two of them began to plan.
Three minutes later, Zhang Peng led his platoon to retreat to the first position of their plan to set up a defensive position. As for Du Guoming's recon platoon, they were the first bait to lure the enemy in.
Time continued to pass, and another fifteen minutes passed.
The resting Japanese stood up under the officer's shout and began to organize their troops to prepare to continue their journey.
"Comrades!"
Looking at the Japanese below, Du Guoming whispered,"We only have five shots. Once we finish firing, we will retreat quickly.”
At this point, Du Guoming looked at the third class monitor and said,"Third Squad Leader, as the full platoon's rear guard, you must maintain a distance of more than 300 meters from the Japanese.”
"We are the bait for the entire brigade. Whether or not we can lure the Japanese into our ambush position depends on our performance.”
"Yes, platoon leader!"
Hearing Du Guoming's words, the third class monitor nodded solemnly.
The recon platoon was the unit with the most veterans in the entire brigade. It could be considered as Zhao Yiqing's elite unit. There was no need to mention their mental strength.
"Fight!"
Seeing that the Japanese were almost gathered, Du Guoming pulled the trigger and the shell gun in his hand let out a clear gunshot.
"Pa!"
The gunshot was an order. The soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon, who were already prepared, pulled the triggers in their hands.
"Pa!"
"Thud!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
There were the sounds of rifles, light machine guns, and grenades exploding.
All of a sudden, the Japanese people below were awakened. They subconsciously lay on the ground and dodged the bullets from around them. They quickly determined the direction of the gunshot and launched a counterattack.
"Baka!"
Lieutenant Colonel Okazaki, who was in the team, was also shocked by the sudden gunshots. However, he soon realized that the gunshots from the ambush team were very sparse. At most, there were dozens of people.
He immediately cursed angrily and said,"First and second teams, move out immediately and destroy these cowards.”
