"There's still an hour left. Everyone, work harder. We can rest after we pass Shou County.”Zhang Dabiao's voice came from the front.
According to the plan, after the assault company successfully attacked Shuangfeng Town, they had to march for three hours to hide in a mountain forest to the west of Shou County. Only in the mountain could they be considered safe and not be caught by the enemy cavalry.
There was no response, but after the voice, the team's speed increased significantly.
"Battalion Commander."
In front of the assault team, the veteran scout, Wang Gensheng, ran over." We found a group of Japanese ahead. They're walking towards us. Looking at them, they should be chasing us.”
"Stop, rest here."
The Japanese were so fast! There were Japanese ahead. Were they surrounded? Zhang Dabiao was shocked and immediately ordered the Assault Company to rest.
In his estimation, the Japanese would need three hours to send troops to catch up with them. By then, they would have already hidden in the mountains. Moreover, it had only been two hours now. Moreover, how did the Japanese get ahead of them on this snowy mountain road?
"How far away are they from us?" He asked Wang Gensheng.
"There's still one kilometer left. These devils are carrying flashlights and can be seen from far away. I left a soldier on the high slope in the distance to keep an eye on these devils.”
As he spoke, Wang Gensheng was panting heavily. Even he found it difficult to scout in the snowy mountains and forests. He took a sip of water and continued," There are about 30 Japanese. When they were scouting, they spread out to the two sides. They probably didn't notice us.”
"Thirty or so Japanese? And they haven't discovered us yet?"
Zhang Dabiao narrowed his eyes." It seems that these ghosts didn't come from Yangqu County. They should be the ghost soldiers from Shou County. They are here to search and intercept."”
"It should be." Wang Gensheng nodded.
"Humph!"
Zhang Dabiao snorted and narrowed his eyes." It seems that the Japanese don't know about our equipment. They think that we are still the guerillas who are short of guns and bullets. How dare thirty of them show up in front of us?"”
"Battalion Commander, what are you thinking?"
Wang Gensheng looked at Zhang Dabiao. His eyes lit up, but then he dimmed." Unfortunately, there's not enough time. We can't be delayed here."”
"Yes, kill this group of devils. Leave no one alive!”
Zhang Dabiao narrowed his eyes and said," It's just thirty or so Japanese. The enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. We have enough ammunition and the battle is going smoothly. It will end in ten minutes at most. Even if we include the preparation time, it won't take more than twenty minutes.”
"This battle can be fought!"
"Ten minutes?"
"Leave no one alive, wipe them all out?"
Wang Gensheng frowned when he heard the time. "This... That's impossible. Ten minutes is too short. There are more than 30 Japanese. Even if our firepower is stronger than the Japanese, it's impossible for the entire commando team to wipe them out in such a short time.”
"In this terrain, our forces are unable to surround them.”
If they were on a flat ground that stretched as far as the eye could see, at the same distance, and facing more than 30 Japanese, they could easily kill them all in 10 minutes.
The machine guns would suppress them from point to point. One machine gun for one Japanese, and then the pistol team would press forward. Ten minutes was enough!
However, it was night time, and they were in the mountains and forests. Although there were stars in the sky and the white snow on the ground reflected the stars, they could only see a few dozen meters away. Any further was pitch black.
As long as the Japanese extinguished their torchlights and torches, they would not be able to find him. How could they wipe them out in ten minutes?
"Why can't you understand?”
Zhang Dabiao's eyes widened." Who the f * ck would be so stupid as to rush up to the enemy and fight with them? No wonder you're still a platoon leader after fighting for so long. I think you'll only be a platoon leader for the rest of your life.”
"Then what do you think we should do?" Wang Gensheng rubbed his head and rolled his eyes.
This was his eternal pain. Most of the people in the same batch as him had become company commanders, but he was the only platoon leader! He had also asked the regiment commander, but the regiment commander always said that he was not suitable to be a company commander.
"In front of us is a valley, and in the middle of the valley is a road.”
Zhang Dabiao pointed to a place not far ahead and drew a line in the snow." Our Assault Company will pass through this valley soon. It's surrounded by dense forests, so it's easy to hide. It will only take a few minutes to set up an ambush. The enemy is only 700 meters away from this valley."
"Since the Japanese dared to come out with more than 30 people to look for us, they must be very bold. They will chase after us when they see us.”
Zhang Dabiao grinned and said," Take dozens of people and walk along the valley. Make an appearance in front of the Japanese and run back immediately. The Japanese will definitely be chasing after you.”
Zhang Dabiao couldn't help but get excited." The 100-plus Assault Company members lying in ambush on both sides will press forward at the same time. With your return fire, we will be able to wipe out this group of Japanese in less than five minutes.”
"Good idea!" Wang Gensheng couldn't help but cheer.
At the same time, he muttered in his heart. Why didn't I think of such a simple thing? No wonder the regiment commander always said that he couldn't be a company commander. It seems like I really can't command more than a hundred people.
"However, if we fight now, we will be exposed to the devils. What if the devils in Shou County surround us?”Wang Gensheng frowned and said," It's only five or six kilometers away from Guizi Shou County."
"You…"
"Is he really stupid?"
Zhang Dabiao sounded disappointed." You've seen the information provided by the regiment commander. There's only one squadron of the Japanese soldiers stationed in Shou County. There are 150 of them. They can only mobilize 100 of them at most."”
"Since the Japanese are spreading their search, it means that they don't know our exact location. There are three mountain branches here, and they are very far apart. As long as we kill these 30 Japanese, what will they have to surround us?”
"Uh..."
Wang Gensheng patted his head and looked enlightened." I really didn't expect this."”
