After eating, Li Jin and the others went out to the entrance of the village. From a distance, he saw a group of Eighth Route Army soldiers in gray military uniforms trotting over.
The leaders were Xu Qingfeng and Liu Changshun.
"Platoon Leader" Xu Qingfeng came forward and saluted.
"According to your instructions, except for the five veterans and new recruits who stayed behind, everyone is in place and no one is absent," Xu Qingfeng said.
"Yes, very good." Li Jin nodded, then asked a dozen soldiers to fill the hole, and asked the remaining people to dig a hole at the end of the village.
Xu Qingfeng glanced at Xiao Jinming and the little girl hiding behind Xiao Jinming.
"Platoon leader, are they alive?" Xu Qingfeng asked.
"No, I came to participate in the Eighth Route Army. I accepted it." Li Jin said.
"Okay." Xu Qingfeng nodded and then pulled Li Jin aside.
"Platoon leader, I'm very surprised why the Japanese sent a small team to take over Tonghu Town," Xu Qingfeng said.
Tonghu Town has a population of only a few thousand people, and is relatively poorer than other places. It is not an important transportation area, so the Japanese should not be targeting Tonghu Town.
But according to the news from Li Jin, the Japs actually sent a small team of Japs to take over. This is very strange.
Even if the Japanese want to take over Tonghu Town, sending two small teams, plus the puppet army, will be enough to manage Tonghu Town.
"I don't know." Li Jin shook his head, he couldn't figure it out either.
But no matter what, since the Japs are coming, no matter what their plan is, Li Jin must kill some Japs first to avenge the dead villagers.
"I think the Japanese may make some big move. Should I report it directly to the regiment headquarters?" Xu Qingfeng said.
He couldn't guess the Japanese's intentions.
"No need. You should know what's going on if you kill those Japs tomorrow." Li Jin said.
"No matter how you look at it, the Japanese takeover of Tonghu Town will not pose a threat to the Eighth Route Army. It will be a waste of time.
However, two people will still have to be sent when the time comes. Let's inquire about the situation here to prevent the Japanese from taking any other actions." Li Jin continued.
Although he felt that there was no need to report to the regiment headquarters, he still sent someone to find out the situation to avoid irreparable losses.
"Yes." Xu Qingfeng nodded.
While the two were talking, Xiao Luoluo asked curiously, "Brother, who are they?"
"They are the Eighth Route Army, a good team for the common people. In the future, they will let All the people have enough to eat," Xiao Jinming said.
"So powerful." Xiao Luoluo's eyes widened. The Eighth Route Army, which could feed the common people, was naturally powerful.
"Of course." Xiao Jinming said.
"When I grow up, I will also be an Eighth Route Army soldier," Xiao Luoluo shouted.
"Okay, okay, you also become the Eighth Route Army." Xiao JinMing smiled with a doting look on his face.
However, what he was a little curious about was why these Eighth Route Army soldiers were all so shiny and looked so strong.
Logically speaking, wouldn’t the Eighth Route Army usually have enough to eat? These didn’t look like what they heard. Even the National Army soldiers he had seen were not as strong as these Eighth Route Army soldiers.
Only the Japs could compete with them. If these Eighth Route Army soldiers were not quite tall, he would have doubted whether the Japs were wearing Eighth Route Army uniforms.
The end of the village.
When many soldiers came here and saw the corpses on the ground, they all looked angry.
They simply couldn’t imagine what they would do if one day, their family encountered a Japs massacre in the village
Compared with the corpses hung by the bandits, these corpses looked more dead. It was miserable. Except for those who were shot to death, many of the other corpses seemed to have been treated inhumanely. It is not difficult to imagine what happened to them during their lifetime.
This also made them more determined to drive out the Japs. If they did not drive out the Japs, their families would never be absolutely safe
After half an hour of work, everyone All the villagers were buried. The soldiers looked at the two large raised graves with sadness in their eyes. Although the Japanese who entered the village had been killed, these villagers would never come back.
Li Jin asked the soldiers to eat first, and then took Xu Qingfeng to find a more suitable ambush location between Yuan'an County and Tonghu Town.
The two left the village and after walking for half an hour, they found a valley.
The road crosses the valley, with dense trees growing on both sides, making it perfect for an ambush.
"Platoon leader, I think it's better to ambush here, lay mines on the road, and wait for the Japanese to come." Xu Qingfeng said.
This location is an excellent ambush point. It is condescending and relatively open below. Once a fight breaks out, the Japanese will have no place to hide and the battle can be resolved as quickly as possible.
"No, we can't ambush here." Li Jin shook his head.
"Why is this location so good?" Xu Qingfeng asked doubtfully.
Ambush the Japs here. With the soldiers' current combat effectiveness and firepower, they can completely annihilate the Japs here. He didn't understand why the platoon leader said no.
“The location is indeed very good, but have you neglected to consider one thing, that is, people will also take this road? There are two villages in the valley to the east.
Once those people go to Tonghu Town to buy things, they must pass by here. What if they are bombed?
Unless the landmines are not buried, but if the landmines are not buried, the Japanese will have a chance to break out. The situation cannot be annihilated," Li Jin said.
If you don’t lay landmines and blow up the enemy, you won’t be able to stop the enemy. With the enemy’s combat effectiveness, they will be able to quickly organize a counterattack and break out. By then, they will probably have to sacrifice many people. .
If you don’t have to consider the people passing by, then this is indeed theThe best place to ambush, but it was impossible for Li Jin not to consider the people.
So, this is the reason why Li Jin denied this ambush location.
"That's right. I didn't think carefully. I'd better change the place." Xu Qingfeng said.
Then the two continued walking along the road towards Yuan'an County.
After walking for more than half an hour, the two came to a hillside.
The road passes through the hillside, and the hillsides on both sides are covered with tall weeds. The most important thing is that there are no villages nearby.
Even if there were, the villagers would not go to Yuan'an County, which is dozens of miles away, to buy things, but to the closer Tonghu Town.
“This location is good.” Li Jin said and walked up the hillside on the left, and Xu Qingfeng followed.
Soon, the two reached the top of the slope and looked at the road below.
The hillside is nearly two hundred meters long, and the distance between the top of the slope and the road below is at most forty meters. Looking down from this position, you can have an unobstructed view.
"This is it" Li Jin said directly.
"The road here is more empty than that in the valley. Let alone the Japanese, if we are ambushed here, we will never get out alive." Xu Qingfeng was satisfied with this ambush point.
Li Jin glanced at Xu Qingfeng. This statement obviously made sense, but why did he feel that something was weird.
"Okay, let's go back to the village and bring the soldiers to ambush tonight." Li Jin said.
"Okay." Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
