Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

16. Assign tasks

"Captain, do it.

Let's lead the attack. I guarantee that the battle will be over within half an hour.

Bring the devil's captain to you."

Lu Dahai excitedly asked for a fight.

"Yes, Captain, this is a rare opportunity.

If we can really wipe out a battalion of the devils, it will be a great achievement."

Lao Dong and others also responded excitedly.

"Hey, hey, hey, why do you have to play the main attack?

So can we.”

Zheng Quezi and others nearby also became anxious.

How can you be content if you don’t take a couple of bites of the fat meat right before your mouth?

"That's right, they bully us newcomers.

We can also catch the Japanese captain."

A group of Zheng Quezi's old brothers behind him also started to make a fuss.

"Captain Zhou, what do you think?"

Ye Qingshan raised his hand to stop the quarrel, looked at Zhou Pingkou and asked.

"Now, we only know that the devil's brigade headquarters should be stationed in the temple ahead.

The specific situation is not very clear yet.

The fight must be fought.

But don’t go for it blindly.

Just now Black Bear reported that there are some Japanese mule carts outside the temple.

There were about thirty people in the Japanese battalion headquarters.

This means that the Japanese transport squadron should also be here.

Only the Japanese transport squadrons were equipped with mule carts to transport supplies and ammunition.

The transport squadron under a battalion of the Japanese army had about 110 people, but its combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of the main infantry squadron.

There is no heavy firepower either.

If that's the case, we can fight.

But don't forget, there should be a squadron of Japanese soldiers hiding around.

We just need to attack the Japanese battalion headquarters here, and the hidden Japanese squadron will hear the gunshots.

Will definitely come back to support.

It would be best if we could allocate half of our soldiers to ambush the returning Japanese squadron.

Buy time for the troops attacking the temple."

Zhou Pingkou considered things more comprehensively, instead of just rushing into action like these veterans.

After hearing this, Ye Qingshan nodded and agreed with Zhou Pingkou's statement.

“Ah, you scholars have too many thoughts in your brains.

You tell me what to do. "

Lu Dahai was getting impatient waiting.

Ye Qingshan didn't say anything, but looked at Zhou Pingkou and motioned him to continue: "Battalion Commander, let the first company attack the Japanese battalion headquarters in the temple.

I will lead our Second Company to fight against the Japanese ambush."

"Oh, Captain Zhou is so righteous."

When Lu Dahai heard Zhou Pingkou say this, he also gave Zhou Pingkou a thumbs up and showed admiration.

Old soldiers like Zheng Quezi nearby were unwilling to hear what Zhou Pingkou said, but they opened their mouths but said nothing.

"it is good.

Where are you planning to ambush?"

Ye Qingshan agreed to Zhou Pingkou's proposal and asked him about his plan to ambush the Japanese.

"At present, we still know where the squadron where the devils are hiding is.

But there is one thing we are clear about.

That is the purpose of this hidden Japanese squadron.

We should unite with their two squadrons that are trapped in the south at this time, and plan a plan to attack our two regiments that are besieging them.

Therefore, the specific location of this hidden Japanese squadron is most likely somewhere in the south.

They heard the gunfire and rushed back to provide support.

The fastest route cannot be bypassed here."

As he spoke, Zhou Pingkou clicked on the map.

“Huanghualing.

The place we passed by on our way here.

That place is the only way to get back to the temple here, and the terrain is suitable for an ambush."

"Yeah. It's a good place."

Ye Qingshan also saw this place when they came over.

Perfect for ambushes indeed.

What Zhou Pingkou said was almost the same as what Ye Qingshan thought.

“Then do it.

Next, we split up.

I led the first company to attack the Japanese battalion headquarters in the temple, and Captain Zhou led the second company to Huanghualing to set up an ambush.

In an hour, we will start the action.

This is enough time for you to rush to Huanghualing and set up an ambush position."

"Yes!"

Then, everyone went their separate ways.

"Captain Zhou, you wait.

Once we destroy the enemy's battalion headquarters, I will immediately lead the first company to support your second company."

Before leaving, Lu Dahai made a promise to Zhou Pingkou.

"Okay, then you guys better move faster."

Zhou Pingkou replied with a smile.

"Haha, don't worry, the battle will definitely be over in half an hour."

Lu Dahai said confidently,

"Tsk, what's there to be proud of?

We still need his support company, with these Type 38 rifles and Type 99 light machine guns.

Or an ambush by the Japanese.

The Japanese devils will never get past Huanghualing."

"Brother-in-law, why did you give up the mission of attacking the enemy's headquarters in the temple?

We had to go to Huanghualing to fight off the Japanese ambush.

The enemy troops were also ambushed by the main force of the Japanese army, so we are the ones who get to gnaw on the bones while Lu Dahai and his men get to drink the soup."

Zheng Quezi was still not happy with this arrangement. After turning around and leaving, he began to complain to Zhou Pingkou.

"That's right. I'm not convinced either."

The one-eyed man and others nearby also had some complaints.

"Okay, look at how stingy you all are.

We are all fighting the Japanese, so why should we differentiate between drinking soup and gnawing bones?"

Zhou Pingkou frowned and scolded several people.

But then his tone softened.

He raised the Type 38 rifle in his hand, pointed at the Type 99 light machine gun carried by One-Eye, and said, "Where did you get these brand new Type 38 rifles and Type 99 light machine guns?

It was Captain Lu who provided support.

No one said anything.

Ask yourself, if you were in my shoes, would you be so generous?

Now, you have only given up the task of attacking the Japanese battalion headquarters.

Everyone started to look unhappy. Who are you trying to show off to? "

After hearing what Zhou Pingkou said, Zheng Quezi and others remained silent.

"That's right, the captain is right.

Commander Ye and Captain Lu were so generous to us and treated us like their own family.

We can't be ungrateful."

A dark-faced man at the back echoed.

As a result, he immediately attracted the angry glares from Zheng Quezi and others.

"You idiot, you're the good guy now."

"Haha, I admit that the company commander is right.

Isn't it just an ambush against the Japanese? It's all the same, fighting the Japanese."

One-Eye quickly changed his words and smiled to ease the atmosphere.

Only Zheng Quezi remained silent. After a long while, he said in a muffled voice, "This time, I must seize a Type 92 infantry gun from the Japanese.

When the time comes, I will also give it to Captain Lu.

We never owe anyone anything.”

After saying that, Zheng Quezi limped away at an accelerated speed.

"Captain, don't be angry. This cripple is just a stubborn person."

One-Eye was standing by and trying to persuade Zhou Pingkou.

"fine."

Zhou Pingkou looked at the figure of Zheng Quezi in front of him and sighed in his heart.

In fact, Zhou Pingkou understood that Zheng Quezi wanted to compete for the task of attacking the Japanese battalion headquarters because of his and his brothers' concerns.

Half an hour later, Zhou Pingkou and his second company arrived at Huanghualing.

Begin setting up ambush positions.

Zhou Pingkou looked at his watch and another half an hour had passed.

In the north of the temple, gunfire and explosions were immediately heard.

"The battalion commander and his men have begun their attack."
