under fire

Chapter 753

Hu Yi has fought for many years, so he naturally knows the importance of knowing himself and the enemy.

One thing made him feel uncomfortable all the time, because he hadn't figured out the real purpose of the partition in the battle against Wang Taigong's bandits.

Even if there is no battle plan, even if it is a strategic shift, there should be a general goal.

He is very clear that on the surface it seems to be clearing up reactionary sects and bandits, but in fact it is definitely more than that.

The "Xinxiang" in the south of the map has been circled several times, and it is estimated that if two circles are drawn, it will become a hole.

Five years ago, it was from this city not far to the south to participate in the Battle of Songhu.
The dead old man, the big guy, the silly boy, Su Qing, escaped from the devil's heavy artillery to join the Eighth Route Army alone

"Fox! Hey, you've been looking at this broken map of Fox for a long time, come out quickly!" The girl stood outside the window and called Hu Yi who was in a daze.

Hu Yi was not annoyed at all when his thoughts were interrupted by the crisp voice.

It seemed that suddenly all the pictures and all doubts disappeared. He raised his head and squeezed out a smile: "What's the matter?"

"Eat roasted sweet potatoes!" The girl held a black object the size of her small fist, and handed it in through the window.

"Where did it come from?" Hu Yi answered subconsciously, the battle was about to start, and only the girl and Luo Fugui still had such leisure.

"Bought from the landlord's house."

Hu Yi was stunned for a moment: "The working team took away all the people in the village. Where did the landlord come from?"

"How would I know? The mule found it in the cellar of the big house." The girl added: "Don't worry, the mule gave the money."

"how many?"

"It's a bit much, I'm afraid there will be thousands of catties, red dates and a can of wine, do you want it?"

"Mule has so much money?" Hu Yi frowned, he almost didn't care about Luo Fugui's likes to seize.

"I don't know, it's worth a few catties anyway." After speaking, he turned around and climbed up the roof from the ladder next to him.

Not long.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the yard, and Deputy Captain Geng ran out of the window without taking a breath: "Report to Hu Lian, Battalion Commander Hu, the bandits from Huang County left the city half an hour ago. coming!"

Hu Yi was stunned for a moment: "Half an hour ago? The county town is tens of miles away from here, how did your news come so fast?"

Captain Geng smiled triumphantly: "Hey, there are people from us in the blockhouse to the north."

"The gun tower? Isn't there a devil instructor inside?"

"Hey, I can't tell you about this. By the way, half of the bandits rode horses and bicycles. If there is no accident, they should arrive in about four hours!"

"Bicycle team?" The girl greeted enthusiastically on the roof with her eyes wide open and a smile on her face: "Captain Geng, come up to eat sweet potatoes?"

"No, I have to work. Hey, what are you doing on the roof to make such a big smoke? I can see it from five miles away!"

"Just to let the bandit know that we are still here, how can he know if we don't get some cigarettes."

"Forget it, you girl has a really big heart, you take your time to bask in the sun, and leave me two after roasting." Deputy Captain Geng was speechless, and then the girl threw down the sweet potato that had just been peeled off, and told Hu Yi Say hello, turn around and leave.

Hu Yi didn't go up to the roof, but turned back to the house, his thick eyebrows under the brim of his hat were twisted into a ball, and he carefully looked at the map for a long time.

The division's intelligence system is really powerful. According to the situation of the bandits marching, they should be able to arrive before dark.

He knew exactly what the bandits were planning.

According to the habits of the bandits, most of them intend to take advantage of the dark and muddy waters to fish. Even if there are some loopholes at that time, it is easy to run away after dark to get rid of the pursuers.

Even if you have a team of 2000 people, you can't change the rules passed down by the ancestors.

Hu Yi didn't care to dwell on these issues any longer. Fighting bandits was often just a matter of arrogance, no amount of analysis was useless!

Walking out of the house in a few steps, he waved to Xu Xiao who was sitting on the edge of the bungalow watching Luo Fugui roast sweet potatoes.

Xu Xiao turned around directly, jumped off the roof, stood still and put his hands on his chest as a salute: "Hey, Battalion Commander, what's the matter?"

Hu Yi almost couldn't resist kicking him: "Immediately call someone to inform Ma Liang, Tian Sanqi, Li Xiang, and Tang Dagou to come here for a meeting."

The first meeting of the Ninth Battalion was established. It was very informal.

Ma Liang, Li Xiang, Tian Sanqi, Luo Fugui, and Chen Chong, who had just been named company commanders, accounted for only four of them digging sweet potatoes around the fire.

Hu Yi didn't pay much attention to the promotion, and directly announced that the promotion and company were over.

Who knows if after a big battle, the Nine Battalion will be beaten back to its original shape and become the Nine Company again?
Half an hour later, four company commanders and one platoon leader gathered together.

Ma Liang looked at the girl with a black mouth: "Hey, girl, why don't you come to my company as a platoon leader? You are the oldest in our battalion, don't resist and study, just you have a job nothing."

"Tch, my aunt has even been the head of the regiment for two days. If it's the deputy battalion commander, it's... not too bad." The girl cast a glance at Hu Yi who had just left the house below.

Tian Sanqi next to him was serious: "I heard from Sister Su Qing that some people are in the armed task force!"

The girl was stunned for a moment: "What are you talking about? How could I be in the work team?"

Tian Sanqi explained: "According to the requirements of the superior, the official members of the armed work team must be at least platoon rank. Anyway, you have no one under your command. It is best to go to the work team to do publicity and mass work."

"Working under the vixen? She has a good idea. I'll find Commander Lu when I get back! Let's add another company to the Ninth Battalion!"

The big dog curled his lips: "You can add it if you say so?"

"What? Don't be convinced, my aunt will set up a special agent company when the time comes, I'm so envious of you!"

"It's amazing. I think you should just lead the militia company. All you perform are special missions, farming, washing and nursing children."

"roll"

Li Xiang interjected: "That depends on whether Luo Fugui agrees or not."

Everyone was stunned for a long time before finally realizing it, and they immediately laughed out loud.

Luo Fugui next to him stared at Li Xiang: "You don't speak. No one thinks you are dumb!"

After speaking, he threw a hot sweet potato that he just took out from the fire to Li Xiang: "This one is baked!"

Li Xiang gritted his teeth from being scalded, and quickly rolled up his clothes.

Hu Yi just walked up the stairs to the roof, without any nonsense: "Received the news, the bandit soldiers are currently divided into three groups, and they should arrive at the northern blockade around three or four in the afternoon. They will first ask the devil security forces in the gun tower for information , Rest for a while, forming an offensive formation must be around dark!"

"Brother battalion commander. Just give the order," Ma Liang took the lead.

Hu Yi nodded and issued an order directly: "Ma Liang!"

"To!"

"Let go of the front, take an ambush to the east of the village about three miles to the north, control the villagers, and lay mines in the village. You must remember the location, and then use the houses to set up positions. There is no need for special arrangements such as trenches. After the battle starts , As many bandits as you can fight, you must remember clearly, and you must retreat south within half an hour after dark."

"Yes!" Ma Liang stood up immediately, and then asked cautiously, "What if you are surrounded by bandits?"

"If you have a platoon of troops, the bandits will definitely try first. They will not encircle the village with more than one company at most, and there will never be more troops! Even if he really exceeds a company and the bandits encircle the village, most of them will be surrounded by a few bandits. The Taoist soldiers are together, if you lead a platoon and it is difficult to break through, you will come back and continue to be the platoon leader."

After Hu Yi finished speaking, he glanced at Ma Liang. Ma Liang blushed and roared, "I promise to complete the task!"

"Li Xiang, you are in charge of commanding the remaining soldiers of Ma Liang Company to set up positions with the help of civilian houses. Remember, don't dig trenches or lay mines. After the horses withdraw, you don't move for a while. The bandits will usually wait and see at this time, and you will divide with Ma Liang. Hierarchy fights with the bandits, and after the battle starts, no counterattack is allowed, and stand firm in the village."

"Yes." Hu Yi said it very clearly, and Li Xiang was not ambiguous at all.

"Tian Qi!"

"arrive."

"You lead people to the east, bypass the bandit's frontal attack team, cross the blockade ditch, pass the blockade pretending to be a bandit, and then go straight behind the bandit, attacking back and forth."

Tian Sanqi was stunned for a moment: "The village in the north is very close to the devil's gun tower, is it too close?"

Hu Yi looked at the sunshine in the spring: "If you think there is a problem, you can change places with the big dog."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

"After Wang Peng and Gao Yidao have fought the bandits, I will lead a company of soldiers to launch a counter-siege from the south to the bandits!" Hu Yi nodded calmly: "If we can't even defeat the bandits, we all Go back to the bar and forget it."
