Chapter 70: The Eye of the Army

When the shells hit the ammunition depot of the Japanese army on Yuwang Mountain, Zhang Chong breathed a sigh of relief. The Battle www.biquge.info of Xuzhou has been fought for nearly a month, and they have been holding on here for many days, the loss of troops is huge, as a strategic important position, Yuwang Mountain has to withstand the Japanese army's attacks every day, the mountain is full of artillery traces, I don't know how many times it has been damaged, and this battle has lost hope, and the 60th Army has suffered extremely heavy casualties here, and the entire 60th Army has become an independent support of the 184th Division!

However, the Japanese army's crazy attacks in the past few days have also caused huge losses in the soldiers of Yuwang Mountain, if Zhang Chong had not adjusted his deployment to avoid the Japanese army's artillery bombardment and bombardment, I am afraid that they would have withdrawn from the battle at this time because of heavy casualties. At this time, there were less than 5,000 people who could participate in the battle on Yuwang Mountain, and more than 1,000 were lightly wounded and did not get out of the line of fire, and the Japanese attack was a wave after a wave, God knows how long they could hold it.

However, now that the Japanese ammunition depot has been destroyed, at least it can ensure that the Japanese offensive will be slightly reduced tomorrow, and it can drag on for a day, so long as the large army can complete the task of gathering and destroying in time, then this victory is worth it even if the 60th Army suffers all the casualties.

At this moment, Xue Zizheng walked in and said, "The team is telegraphing, they are approaching Yuwang Mountain, asking for an answer!"

Zhang Chong nodded and said, "I'll transfer troops to meet them, and I'll give them credit when I come back!"

"I have called back and asked them to continue to detour behind enemy lines, take advantage of the situation to find out the situation of the Japanese army, and measure the perimeter fire belt to cover the artillery bombardment of the Japanese attacking forces by the large force." Xue Zizheng said.

Zhang Chong's face changed and he said: "How can this be done, now that the Japanese army has known the news that they are behind enemy lines, their situation must be very dangerous, if their whereabouts are exposed, they will be surrounded by the Japanese army, and when the time comes... No, it's too dangerous, withdraw them"!

Xue Zizheng sighed and said, "I know what you think, but this is war, and we have no choice!"

"That's hundreds of lives, it's my Zhang Chong's brothers, I'm going to take them home"! Zhang Chong slammed the table and said.

Since Xue Zizheng came to the Sixty Army, Zhang Chong has been waiting for him as a guest, and many battle plans will be discussed with Xue Zizheng, it can be said that this is the first time Xue Zizheng has seen Zhang Chong and him red-faced when he came here, not because he gave orders, but because he once again put his soldiers and his brothers in danger.

Xue Zizheng took a deep breath and said: "Division commander, I can't carry out this order, we must do this, otherwise we will never know the situation of the Japanese army on the other side, we will always be beaten passively, how many troops do we still have in our hands?" How long can it be held? Without them sabotaging behind enemy lines, how many large-scale attacks would we have withheld"?

Zhang Chong's face fell into a long silence, and after a while, Xue Zizheng spoke again: "We have been stationed here for almost half a month, and we have suffered heavy casualties in the past half a month, but we have also blocked the elite of the Japanese army here. If we lose Yuwang Mountain, won't they die in vain"?

Zhang Chong's face was heavy for a while before he spoke: "Inform the team, if it is really not feasible, you can retreat, and we will be responsible for responding"!

After saying that, Zhang Chong got up and walked out, Xue Zizheng sighed at this time, looked at the map and pondered.

In a small ravine more than ten miles in front of Yuwang Mountain, Lu Hai and all the members of the squad were having a combat meeting, because of the telegram from the chief of staff, they were lurking near here, but now they could not turn back, and they were ready to be searched and pursued by the Japanese army at any time.

"Xiaohai, what now"? Li Fan asked. Also waiting for Lu Hai's decision were the many other soldiers.

Lu Hai looked at the map, but said, "Li Zheng, what do you think?"

Everyone was a little puzzled, why Lu Hai just asked Li Zheng what he thought, and Lu Hai was in the same battalion as Li Zheng before, and everyone knew Li Zheng's origin, but in this difficult time of the War of Resistance, there is no party difference, as long as it is a Chinese, it should be united and united to the outside world! And this matter was also taken over by the division commander himself and tacitly approved by the military uniform, and guerrilla warfare, deep behind enemy lines, sabotage attacks, is also their specialty! At this time, Li is the person who has the most right to speak.

Li Zheng looked at the map, and then said: "We are now ten kilometers away from Yuwang Mountain, but the surrounding area is a large plain, which is not conducive to concealment, and we have a large number of people, it is easy to be exposed, I suggest that according to the previous arrangement of the chief of staff, we will act separately as a ranking unit"!

"But there aren't many people in our army who can speak Japanese, so what if it's exposed?" Lu Hai worried.

"You can rest assured of this, the chief of staff has placed a soldier in each platoon who can speak Japanese, and our separation of small targets is conducive to combat, even if it is discovered by the Japanese army, it will not be wiped out."

Lu Hai pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, now we will divide according to the platoon, our goal is to cause sabotage behind enemy lines and collect intelligence!" ”

"The departments should not be too far apart, so that they can be taken care of, and we will open the rear of the Japanese army, so as to reduce the pressure on the frontal brothers."

"Is it all clear"?

"Clear"!

After Lu Hai placed the task on the map, he spoke: "Brothers, we are now behind enemy lines, and we may be surrounded by Japanese troops at any time, you must fight flexibly, and at the same time, you must also remember one sentence."

"Swear not to be a prisoner"!

Everyone nodded, and Lu Hai put away the map and said, "The action begins, follow me in a row"!

"Follow me in the second row"!

......

Ten minutes later, Lu Hai's 200-strong detachment quickly disappeared into the night, but Lu Hai was wandering around the periphery, and their task was to determine the fire belt and provide accurate artillery coordinates for the artillery at the front.

At this time, it was late at night, and several Japanese garrison points had already rested in the past, only the necessary sentry posts patrolled around, Lu Hai held a telescope, constantly marked the coordinate records, and was busy until dawn before the surrounding firepower belt, and the road when the Japanese attack was launched after all, all marked out and reported to Zhang Chong through the radio.

There was no danger in this night, after all, there was a cover of night, but after dawn, Lu Hai and the others hid on a dirt hill and observed the movements of the Japanese troops in this camp through binoculars.

At this time, the Japanese troops had all woken up, and they were having breakfast, these Japanese troops had a brigade, three tanks, dozens of mortars, after finding out the situation, Lu Hai stopped talking, and at the same time, the rest of the detachments were also observing from a distance in the enemy's camp and constantly recording intelligence.

About half an hour later, a Japanese shout sounded in the Japanese camp, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers at the front had taken off their steel helmets, but they were tied with plaster bands on their heads.

"The Japanese army has launched a death squad and is ready to capture Yuwang Mountain in one fell swoop!" Li Zheng said.

"Hurry up and report this information to the division commander"! Lu Hai said with a serious face.

At the same time, the troops stationed elsewhere also moved one after another, and the troops that appeared to be gathered together were as large as one wing, and two mountain artillery battalions followed closely behind.

"These little devils, didn't yesterday's ammunition depot just be blown up, why did they launch such a large-scale attack today"? Haijiji wondered.

"Ghost knows, hurry up and report this information to the division commander"!

The communication soldier gathered a series of information together and reported it to Zhang Chong, and Lu Hai said: "Let's go, let's go down and find out the situation, the range of the mountain artillery is not as far as the heavy artillery, as long as we find out the location of the mountain artillery, we can hand it over to the heavy artillery battalion at that time!"

"Yes"!

Everyone quietly went up again, and it was only ten kilometers away from Yuwang Mountain, but these mountain artillery stopped one after another, while the infantry wing was marching all the way towards Yuwang Mountain.

On Yuwang Mountain, Zhang Chong, who received the information, learned that the Japanese army was attacking Yuwang Mountain here, picked up the phone and said: "Wan Baobang, according to the previous information, prepare to bombard"!

"Yes"!

At this time, after the Japanese army's field artillery positions were successfully placed, they began to bombard Yuwang Mountain violently, but they didn't know that Lu Hai and they followed all the way, marking the locations of the two mountain artillery battalions and sending them to Wan Baobang.

Just when the Japanese army was about to arrive on Yuwang Mountain, Wan Baobang ordered the artillery to open fire according to the measured firepower belt, and for a time the artillery roared, and the shells smashed into a forest where the Japanese army was marching. Hundreds of Japanese death squads that had been determined to die before were instantly hit by artillery fire, killing and wounding a large number of them, and at the same time, the heavy artillery battalion at Chehui Mountain also suppressed and fired at the Japanese field artillery camp according to the previously marked position.

For a time, the Japanese army's field artillery position was also roaring, and soon the Japanese artillery position was either roaring and exploding under the bombardment of heavy artillery or fleeing in a hurry, how could there be any intention to bombard Yuwang Mountain, and at this time on Yuwang Mountain, many artillery shells bombarded the Japanese army according to the established firepower belt, and the Japanese army had suffered heavy losses before they arrived on Yuwang Mountain. The first wave of attacks was halted before it could begin.

After that, the Japanese army began to retreat and station, and after a while, the Japanese planes roared towards Yuwang Mountain, and Zhang Chong also ordered the troops to be transferred, leaving some false positions to deceive the Japanese artillery fire, and the rest of the soldiers had already withdrawn from the front line positions and hidden.

"Boom"!

"Boom"!

"Boom"!

A huge roar roared again on Yuwang Mountain, and at the same time, the heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army also began to bombard, and one after another heavy artillery roared towards Yuwang Mountain, and the field artillery positions of the half-connected building bombarded.

However, when the Japanese planes came, most of the soldiers were hidden, and the artillery positions had already been moved, so the casualties were not large. On this day, the entire Yuwang Mountain was spent in a roar, and the Japanese artillery fire turned into one heavy rain after another and smashed on this Yuwang Mountain, which is only 126 meters high...
