Chapter 248

The fourth platoon leader took a few soldiers to sweep around the village carefully, but never found the common people hiding nearby. I am afraid that these three children are the only villagers who were forgotten here without knowing it.

The trial schedule begins the next step, and pursue the people who have been transferred and send these three children back to their relatives as soon as possible.

At the same time, the trial schedule started a new course: the search and rescue mission.

After wrapping the three children in cotton coats, they were carried by Li Wei and several other soldiers. On the road, under the protection of the Eighth Route Army, they calmed down as if they were protected by their relatives. The fatigue that had been suppressed for a long time quickly made them fall asleep.

Although he was wearing a single dress, Li Wei was not frozen by the cold wind. The endless refining technique of the God Refining Art made him unable to invade cold and heat. Life lies in movement. He followed the team with the little girl on his back and did not feel cold.

Following the traces left by the people who evacuated the people, the soldiers who were in the trial platoon also discovered the traces of the enemy. Ordinary people were not professional experts who were hiding their families and had no organizational discipline to escape, allowing an enemy of about a hundred people to easily discover and target these villagers who were hiding from the war.

Using military spears to pull out the marks of the Japanese big-headed scalp shoes left on the snow, Fan Guowen looked up at the vague path and said, "Praying the mantis stalks the cicada, let's see if our oriole is behind."

Based on the clues left on the road, the trial platoon quickly found the direction of the villagers leaving, and found footprints of villagers and Japanese soldiers. The Type 38 rifle shells and blood stains were also found, indicating that the fleeing people were likely to have fallen into the hands of the Japanese army.

After discovering Japanese soldiers, Li Wei and Fan Guowen and several other veterans divided the tasks of the trial platoon, and the three children were transferred to the recruits for care. Fortunately, the children of poor families were precocious in the troubled times, and the children did not have the spoiled and childishness of modern children. The three of them were very obedient and sensible, and they did not cry or make trouble, and obediently let the recruits carry them.

In order to avoid passiveness when encountering the enemy suddenly, two experienced veterans, as outpost scouts, maintained a distance of more than 50 meters from the main force behind. Once the enemy was discovered, Fan Guowen and other sharpshooters with accurate shooting skills in the rear could quickly provide fire support.

As the sky was getting dark, Li Wei and the others felt that they were approaching the Japanese army and became more and more cautious. The three children placed in the last team were directly fed with canned meat that the soldiers covered with warm bodies. This was a special treatment that only three children could have. These canned foods that could be preserved for a long time were special combat preparations and would be taken back to the Third Regiment for special foods to be preserved for only the wounded and sick and special personnel to enjoy. The special meat aroma of canned meat made all the soldiers, even Li Wei, swallowed their saliva, but thinking about the hard-earned food, it was only for the fantasy in their minds.

Although the three little kids were not big, they had a really amazing appetite. They barely asked them to wipe their mouths when they saw the bottom of the two big cans, but they still looked unsatisfied. To be honest, the three kids had been hungry for too long, and when they saw them, they were reincarnated as if they were starved to death.

"Note! There is a situation!" Li Wei heard the keen hearing the scouts in front of him imitating the owl's cry. There were not many birds to choose from in winter. If they were like Sanmao's military record on TV, they would probably immediately attract a 38-fire bullet.

Fan Guowen set up a telescope, looked at the sign language that the scout in front was doing in his direction, and said, "I found someone making a fire a hundred meters ahead, as if he was camping. There were about a small team of Japanese troops and a small team of puppet troops, and there were about two hundred ordinary people, and some ordinary people were injured."

Because of the war, the base areas have always been short of people. Whether it is replenishing combat personnel or producing personnel, during the repeated large-scale sweeps of the Japanese army, the human resources base of the anti-Japanese revolutionary base areas was still very weak. The Japanese army adopted the cage policy to isolate the base areas, and then use various means such as human circles, unmanned areas, and maintenance associations to separate the Eighth Route Army and other anti-Japanese forces from the people to avoid falling into the ocean of people's war. Therefore, in the competition for the population resources of the people, both the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army spared no effort.

"It seems that bones are not easy to chew." Li Wei touched his big bald head, his face full of distress. He was both an enemy and an ordinary person. Once the gun sounded, it would definitely be a turmoil between us and us. If it was not done properly, it would hurt the masses by mistake. In this case, only Fan Guowen, a sharpshooter, can play a role, but the situation of one hundred vs one person is definitely one-sided, and this battle cannot be fought at all.

When Xiao Jing and Xiao Yang heard the news of their relatives, their eyes lit up with excitement. They quickly asked the soldiers beside them to cover their mouths and put their fingers in front of them and booed quietly.

The two children also knew that the matter was important and could not alarm the enemy. They immediately covered their mouths and did not let themselves make any sounds. The excited brilliance was beating in their two round eyes.

An hour later, the veteran who was reconnaissance in front quietly returned to meet with Li Wei and the others after careful reconnaissance.

With the reflection of the starlight and moonlight on the snow, Li Wei and the others sat together and made a topographic map of the enemy's camping site with stones and sand on the ground.

The hijacked villagers were divided into six directions by the puppet army squad and several Japanese soldiers, surrounded in the middle without any leakage. The remaining Japanese soldiers set up three guard posts on the periphery, and the other Japanese soldiers gathered together to make supper.

"Listen to everyone, the main policy of this battle is sneak attack. I am going to touch off the enemy's guard forces from the north, open a hole, and quietly pick up the people out. Squad Leader Chen, take Tang Shaoming and Ding Hong with me as a supporter." Li Wei looked at a slightly dark-skinned veteran and said, "Old Chen is one of the old Red Army soldiers left by the Third Regiment, and is also the squad leader of the second squad of the Third Company, and has a lot of combat experience.

"Squad leader Four! Take three people with you, bring a light machine gun, and stare at the main Japanese squad in the south. If it is started, destroy the enemy in the south as much as possible. Guowen, bring two of the best gunshots, be responsible for sniping in the northeast corner, and provide firepower support to others." Li Wei decided to take action while the enemy was drowsy, "Leave two people to the forest three hundred meters south, and if the situation is not good, take the children back to the third regiment first, and all the other people are loaded with bullets and are responsible for aiming at the enemy in the outer position. If a battle occurs, try to kill the most threatening target as soon as possible. It is recommended to give priority to the Japanese devils. The puppet army has poor combat effectiveness and can be used as the second target."

The composition of the trial platoon is quite diverse, with three squad leaders. The veterans are soldiers with rich experience in the teaching gang. Most of the new recruits are soldiers with the weakest combat quality or psychological defects. After a period of running-in, they can cooperate very tacitly. The combat effectiveness is different from the ones before the trial platoon was established. This is also the greatest confidence that Li Wei can rely on two teams with nearly 100 people in the enemy.

Among the enemies who hijacked the villagers, there were more than 4 times the number of enemies, which was equivalent to more than four times the strength of the trial platoon. If you want to fight this battle well, it would take a lot of effort. The most threatening to Li Wei and the others was actually the small team of Japanese soldiers. However, if you have the intention to calculate but not be prepared, the outcome depends on the basic qualities of the soldiers on both sides on the battlefield.

After listening to Li Wei's plan, Fan Guowen nodded, looked at the people around him and said, "Do you understand?" The main responsibility of his temporary platoon leader is to lead the basic combat quality, and the actual combat arrangements are mostly based on the opinions of several squad leaders such as Li Wei and the veterans. After all, he, a sharpshooter, is not good at practical contact combat like Li Wei.

"I understand!" Everyone responded. After thinking about their combat goals, they had a clear idea in their hearts.

"Okay, check the weapons and prepare the bullets. If you need to replenish it, hurry up and eat something, and then enter the combat position separately." Li Wei looked at the luminous light on the watch. It was already past seven o'clock in the evening. According to the fatigue level of the human body, the second half of the night is the time to take action.

The night of killing people in the dark moon and high winds provides the best cover for the soldiers in the trial platoon to rescue the villagers. An hour later, all the soldiers in the trial platoon entered the combat position.

Li Wei held the fighting spike, buckled out the star dust shuttle, and quietly watched the target camp. Although the default starting time was in the early morning, the plan could never catch up with the changes. There would be unexpected opportunities at any time in the action. Li Wei was stupidly waiting to miss the best opportunity.

He only regretted that he did not bring out the light combat steel crossbow. At present, Huang Yadong Arsenal does not have the ability to produce mufflers for guns. The steel crossbow is simply the best sneak attack weapon at present.

The enemy camp was crowded with people. The cold weather in the north could almost penetrate the bones. The hijacked villagers silently squeezed together, relying on their bodies to keep warm, enduring hunger silently. Facing the long bayonets on the dog-legged rifles of the Japanese soldiers and the puppet army, after paying the impulsive blood of several young people, they could only hope that God could open his eyes and save the old and young people in the village.

For some reason, a quarrel suddenly broke out in the Japanese squad. Then two or three soldiers threw down their guns and immediately formed a group of them. The other Japanese soldiers seemed to be used to seeing them. No one went up to persuade them to fight. Instead, they shouted cheers from time to time. The puppet soldiers nearby also looked at the real person pk with interest. The fights in private in the Japanese squad were almost ordinary, and the commanders did not stop them. In everyone's eyes, fighting among soldiers was even a way to keep the soldiers fierce.

"Hey, the dog bites the dog!" Li Wei and the surrounding villagers had the same thought.

While everyone's attention was attracted by the opening of the Japanese soldiers, Li Wei moved and quietly touched him.

Seeing the opportunity, he suddenly fell down a Japanese soldier who was caught off guard at the alert post, covered his mouth tightly, and wiped the sharp blade of the fighting piercing hard on his neck, and then slowly put it down.

The veteran Tang Shaoming rushed over quickly, and took over the helmets and Type 38 rifles on the heads of the Japanese soldier who were gradually losing blood. He pretended to be alert as if nothing had happened.
