The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2276 New Plan

The soldiers of the two companies hid in the bushes on the south bank of the Yu River. Xiao Boji brought Lao Gu to Shang Zhen's company.

The soldiers of Shang Zhen's company looked at Xiao Boji curiously, because they really didn't expect that their company commander Shang Zhen would actually meet his sworn brother here!

Xiao Boji told his team leader that Shang Zhen was his sworn brother, so Shang Zhen agreed and naturally said the same thing when he returned to their company.

At this time, Shang Zhen was asking Xiao Boji: "How do you plan to fight the Japanese?"

"I plan to spread our people out and divide them into many groups. I think the Japanese in the north will not ignore this group of Japanese.

As long as we find a small group of Japanese invaders, we will destroy them as soon as they come.

In this way, we can use the advantage of numbers to defeat the minority and make a profit without losing.

Who cares how they fight the Japs on the other side of the mountain? Just give us ten guns, and we can kill them piecemeal, and we won't suffer too many casualties. This is a sure win!" Xiao Boji said his battle plan, and he didn't forget to glance at the soldiers around him.

Through Shang Zhen, he has learned that Wang Laomao and his former companions have joined the Eighth Route Army. He feels sorry for this. How great it would be if those old men were still alive!

Of course, he also heard from Shang Zhen that the company under Shang Zhen's command was directly trained by Shang Zhen from the able-bodied men, but he still felt inexplicably familiar with them.

He smiled and said to Shang Zhen's soldiers: "What are you looking at? You can't get along with my big brother. Sooner or later, I will give you good guns!"

Xiao Boji's words naturally made Shang Zhen's soldiers smile.

"It's possible that another group of Japanese soldiers will come, but how do you know where they will come from? When we brought the group of Japanese soldiers that are still blocked here, we didn't take the highway.

You are casting your net everywhere. Let alone my new recruits, do even the experienced soldiers under you have the ability to fight independently?" Shang Zhen asked Xiao Boji with a smile.

"Yes, there are, but the old pig kidneys are not used in fighting." Little Boji also laughed.

Now he only brought Lao Gu with him among the people in their company, and the others were far away and could not hear him talking.

That's why Xiaobiji said that.

If the veterans in his company were here, he would never say that.

He can scold his own people in his own company at will, but he must never scold them in front of outsiders, as that would hurt morale.

Although Xiaoji is young, he is not small anymore. Being an official is a science!

Xiao Boji was of course familiar with Shang Zhen. When he saw Shang Zhen's expression, he was moved and asked, "Brother, what do you think?"

"Put some bait on the way the Japanese chase us, and lure the later Japanese into our encirclement. Besides, how do you know the Japanese don't have any backup plans? Can't they leave a little tail?

I guess the news that the Japanese were blocked by us at Dahong Mountain should have been passed back by the Japanese." Shang Zhen said.

"The boss is the boss." Little Boji praised sincerely.

Shang Zhen smiled.

He himself had actually analyzed why the Japanese army would come from the north.

Originally, the Japanese army seldom launched attacks from the northern part of Dahong Mountain. One of the reasons was the long journey, and the other was that there were "stumbling blocks" like the Independent Brigade, which had no combat effectiveness but could still block the attack.

The Japanese army has only defeated the independent brigade now, and for the time being, no other Chinese troops have come to fill this hole. The Japanese army also found clues about Shang Zhen, so they chased after him.

"I guess the group of Japanese soldiers who crossed the river and were trapped in the valley should have known about it.

Even if they don't know, they should be able to guess it.

Actually, I think it would be best if we could send a few Japanese soldiers back from the encirclement to report the situation, and then ask them to call for more reinforcements. But seeing that your commander is not the kind of person who can get things done, let's just forget it.

I think we should do it this way." Shang Zhen began to talk about his own method.

Xiao Boji moved forward again, and Shang Zhen whispered, "Divide our people into groups and keep an eye on the terrain ahead to find places where people can hide, such as woods or hilltops.

The Japanese have run so far, so they must have left some people on this side of the river.

After you have identified the target, remember to wait until dark before taking action. One group at a time, one target at a time, and go around to the north of the target.

There should be some Japanese soldiers at the target location, but not too many. After all, they are just responsible for lookout.

We search carefully, and as long as we find the Japanese hiding in the dark, we can determine where their reinforcements are coming from.

What do you think, brother? "

Shang Zhen looked at Xiao Boji, with a smile in his eyes that could not be concealed. He really was not used to calling Xiao Boji "brother"!

"Your method is more reliable than mine! Just do as big brother says!" Little dustpan laughed.

The battle plan was decided, and Shang Zhen and Xiao Boji began to look for places where people could be hidden within their sight. The two of them even climbed up a hill to get a good look, and finally identified eight targets.

"It's easy to choose a team leader on your side, but it's difficult for me to choose four team leaders." Xiao Boji sighed on the top of the mountain.

Their company is full of veterans. Even though he has three platoon leaders under him, in Xiao Boji's opinion, these three platoon leaders are just the tallest of the short ones.

It’s not that those three platoon leaders are good at fighting, but simply because they are more experienced than other veterans!

There's really nothing that can be done about it. The people below are all experienced veterans, and there are too many twists and turns. If the person in charge is not experienced, he will definitely be fooled by those experienced soldiers!

In a nutshell, the foundation of the soldiers in his company is too poor!

"Every family has its own difficulties. I'm willing to listen, but being obedient is not enough. Let's go back and choose people first, and then talk about it later." Shang Zhen said.

And the next step is naturally for them to select team leaders for each group.

In fact, Xiao Boji had no choice but to let two platoon leaders and two squad leaders lead a group of people each, and he had to leave a platoon on this side of the river to watch. This was also Shang Zhen's idea. If they ran out to "earn extra money" and Japanese reinforcements sneaked in, it would be a big joke!

"Let me tell you something." Xiao Boji looked at his platoon leaders and squad leaders and said, "Why did I lead everyone out instead of blocking the enemy and fighting them? You are not stupid, you should be able to figure it out."

"Understood!" The squad leaders answered in unison, which was rare.

Just as Xiao Boji said, they are not stupid. Not only are they not stupid, but each one is smarter than the other.

If they really launched an attack on the Japanese troops trapped in the valley, it would be hard to say how many people, or even just how many, would be left in the end!

At this point, these squad leaders were indeed grateful to Xiao Boji, the company commander.

"It's easier to deal with people who understand!" Xiao Boji said with a serious face, "This time we are fighting the Japanese who stayed behind to keep watch. If there are really Japanese, eight or ten would be a lot. I estimate that there will be no more than a handful of them.

If the Japanese haven't discovered us, then we'll hide and wait and see if there are any Japanese reinforcements tomorrow and then act accordingly.

If any group can mess up a battle like this, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Yes!" the squad leaders answered in unison.
