Xu Meng had to obey, and they came to the regiment headquarters. The regiment leader Li Yutang learned that Su Yuan was coming. He had heard of Su Yuan a long time ago. He was already a battalion commander in the 29th Army, and Su Yuan was
A platoon leader, Su Yuan was now at the same level as him, and with Su Yuan's reputation, he greeted him politely.
Seeing that the regiment headquarters was very busy, Su Yuan said directly: "I won't waste any time. I would like to ask the regiment commander to report to the superiors immediately. Please select outstanding shooters from the army immediately, and I will lead the sniper attack on the enemy."
"Brother Su, I've heard about this too." Commander Li replied: "You are not an outsider either. After all, we all came out of the 29th Army, so I'll tell you the truth."
"Please tell me." Su Yuan replied.
"I am currently fighting the Japanese. You have to recruit the best marksmen from my troops. How can I fight this battle? They are the backbone of the troops." Captain Li explained: "This is also the meaning of the division commander.
, I believe all groups are like this too.”
"I understand." Su Yuan replied: "It means you are not ready to organize a sniper force yet."
"Yes." Captain Li answered truthfully.
"It seems that everyone still doesn't understand the importance of sniping." Su Yuan said.
"Brother Su, we have been fighting for many years." Commander Li said: "I also knew about you at Marco Polo Bridge, so it is more useful to let them stay in the forward position."
"At that time, I could only be regarded as a sharpshooter, which is different from sniping." Su Yuan wanted to explain.
"The sharpshooter is amazing." Commander Li immediately laughed.
Su Yuan couldn't help but paused. This explanation could not be believed by the other party for a while, so he asked: "In that case, let's talk about it. I think you are about to start a war with the Japanese here? Maybe I can help the staff."
"That's great." Captain Li immediately responded happily: "Brother Su is here."
Commander Li brought him to the map and explained to him the situation his troops were facing now. "The Japanese are approaching step by step. Their attack is very fierce. They have broken through the defense zone of the brothers in front and my vanguard has taken over."
Fire." Captain Li pointed at the explanation and said: "The one coming is a Japanese battalion. The Japanese are attacking in two directions. Two Japanese squadrons are attacking from the left and right wings. It is difficult for my three battalions to defend."
Su Yuan looked at the map and said: "Now you have two battalions to resist each other. This cannot be stopped. The Japanese firepower is very fierce."
"Yes, I am going to resist for a while and then shrink my troops and defend here." Commander Li replied: "This is the only way we can do it now."
After all, Su Yuan had learned how to fight in the Eighth Route Army. Blindly defending and fighting the enemy with firepower would not work, but he first asked: "Captain Li, have you participated in the Linyi battle with the commander-in-chief?"
"Yes." Captain Li didn't understand why Su Yuan mentioned the Battle of Linyi.
"At that time, the commander-in-chief did not defend Linyi, but crossed the Yi River and took the initiative to attack, and then defeated the Itagaki division." Su Yuan said.
Commander Li understood, but he said: "But at that time, Pang's army was guarding Linyi, so we could concentrate our forces to attack."
"There is a river here." Su Yuan pointed to the map and said: "Order the troops on your right wing to retreat, let the Japanese attacking squadron cross the river, and then concentrate the entire regiment's forces to annihilate it."
"You are joking." Captain Li said.
"I once led two battalions to annihilate a Japanese squadron. I know my old army and we should have this ability." Su Yuan replied.
"But where is the other Japanese squadron, and the Japanese troops behind it?" Commander Li replied.
"Since the Japs have fought with the troops in front, their troops must have been compromised. You use one battalion to block the Japs behind, and use two battalions to surround and annihilate the Japs crossing the river." Su Yuan said: "As for the Japs on the left,
, let me help you solve it, you give me a platoon."
"Brother Su, how many troops do you bring?" Captain Li asked with his eyes shining.
"Add five more of me." Su Yuan replied.
"Are you kidding me?" Captain Li's eagerness immediately dropped.
"It's just the five of us. I once blocked a Japanese squadron and a battalion of puppet troops for three hours." Su Yuan replied: "Also, that time our two battalions not only annihilated a Japanese squadron, but also took out a combo."
We retreated one battalion of the puppet army."
"Really?" Captain Li said in surprise.
"If I can't stop this Japanese squadron, I am willing to be punished by military law." Su Yuan's firm words gave Commander Li confidence, and he immediately said: "You only need to give me four hours."
"Okay!" Listening to Su Yuan's firm answer, Captain Li made up his mind to fight as Su Yuan said. Although it was risky, it was better than holding on tightly, not to mention that holding on to death might not necessarily hold on, and Su Yuan would share the responsibility.
, Commander Li immediately ordered all battalions to rush to designated locations to prepare for an ambush, and ordered Xu Meng to lead a platoon to follow Su Yuan's command.
