Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

Li Yan looked at the breathless man and said, "Tell me slowly, how many people are there among the White Dogs? What are their weapons and equipment like?"

The person who came was Song Tao, the squad leader of the first company's reconnaissance squad.

Song Tao took a breath: "Two platoons, 80 people, 6 light machine guns, 1 heavy machine gun"

“No other heavy weapons were seen”

"Platoon Leader Gao and his men are outside right now, watching the enemy's movements."

Everyone's heart tightened

A remnant of a dozen men, lacking guns and ammunition, faced two platoons of fully equipped and heavily armed soldiers.

Everyone knows this is a fierce battle.

In his previous life, Li Yan had always been wandering between life and death. He knew that the more sudden the situation, the more calm he should be.

This is the cold fox, with both thunderous means and calm wisdom.

Li Yan calmly said to Song Tao: "Take me to see it."

Li Yan took two steps and turned back to the old squad leader and said, "Old squad leader, I leave the wounded and the stone to you."

"After we leave, you must hide the cave immediately. No one is allowed to go out until we return."

Having experienced so much, the old squad leader knew that Li Yan was explaining his "afterlife"

He nodded heavily: "Don't worry, you must be careful"

Shitou also understood that he would be a burden if he went to such a battle alone, so he said sensibly:

"Captain, you must come back"

Li Yan touched Shitou's head and said, "Listen to the old squad leader and wait for us to come back."

Then Li Yan saluted the old squad leader and rushed out of the cave

When they reached a forest halfway up the mountain, Li Yan asked, "Second Platoon Leader, what's the enemy situation?"

Second Platoon Leader Gao Xuan excitedly said, "Company Commander, are you awake?"

Li Yan scolded softly: "Don't interrupt, speak"

Gao Xuan quickly introduced: "Company Commander, look at the road below, there are two squads of white dogs guarding it, and there is a heavy machine gun."

"There is a light machine gun position on each side of the hillside."

"There is a flat area at the bend behind the position, where the White Dogs' camp is stationed."

Li Yan quickly understood the situation following Gao Xuan's introduction.

He whispered: "This enemy is not ordinary."

"The machine gun positions on the left and right sides are located halfway up the hillside, using the mountain as a base."

"It is located on a high ground, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can support each other"

"What's even better is that it forms an inverted triangle with the machine gun positions on the main road."

"With this kind of tiered configuration, there are no blind spots at all."

"Besides, the enemy's headquarters is located in a recessed mountain. We can't launch a surprise attack, so we can only fight head-on."

Gao Xuan nodded slightly: "What should we do then?"

Li Yan did not answer but asked: "How many combat personnel do we have now, and what are our weapons and equipment?"

Gao Xuan said: "All those who can fight are here, a total of 16 people."

"The weapons left are 6 Hanyang rifles, 4 pistols, 5 swords, less than 40 rounds of bullets, and 2 grenades."

Li Yan felt that this situation was very difficult.

Gao Xuan couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Captain, once the white dogs have set up camp, they will go up the mountain to search and will soon find us."

"Let's fight. Killing one will cover our losses. Killing two will make us a profit. It's better than being trapped to death anyway."

The machine gun squad leader of the first company, Shi Jiang, immediately retorted: "Fight, fight, fight, all you know is fighting. Even if we had a battalion of troops, it would be difficult to break through the enemy's defenses."

"We are not fighting, we are seeking death"

Gao Xuan asked irritably, "Then what do you say we should do?"

The stonemason was stunned. He couldn't think of a good way.

Song Tao pulled Gao Xuan and said, "Old Gao, don't be so excited."

At this moment, a plan formed in Li Yan's mind. He said slowly: "The enemy has many people and good weapons. We can't do a losing business."

"You can only outsmart and fish"

"We set up traps in advance to lure the enemy deep into our territory and then eliminate them one by one."

After listening to Li Yan's plan, Gao Xuan slapped his thigh excitedly: "As expected of our company commander, he has many ideas."

The stonemason was a little worried: "The captain's idea is good, but if the enemy attacks with more than a platoon of troops at once, we won't be able to handle it. If that happens, we might not catch any fish but end up being eaten by the fish."

Li Yan smiled mysteriously: "That depends on our fishing skills."

"Gao Xuan, you come from a hunter family, so you should be very good at setting traps."

"You see there's a bamboo forest not far away. You and the stonemason take a team of people to set up a trap."

"I'll give you half an hour."

"Also, make a good mark. Once we lure the enemy here, it will depend on your skills."

Gao Xuan rubbed his hands in anticipation and answered confidently, "Captain, leave it to me. If the white dogs dare to come, I will make sure they never return."
