Chapter 675: The First Shot Firing
Lei Yunfeng led the 14th Battalion to Dongwuling Village quickly, joined up with the 13th and 15th Battalions of the 54th Regiment, and took advantage of the short opportunity of the Japanese transport convoy to have not yet arrived at the ambush position, and conducted an intensive training for the 54th Regiment to sharpen its knives in battle.
In order to keep track of the movement of the Japanese transport convoy at any time and order the troops to quickly enter the position, Lei Yunfeng led Han Nina, the chief of the communications department, and a reinforced platoon to the highest point on the north slope behind Dongwuling to set up a temporary observation and command post.
Han Nina looked at Lei Yunfeng who was standing in a grass shed made of tree branches and said, "Boss, if we successfully fight an ambush battle in Dongwuling with friendly troops this time, and the troops are not only not defeated, but even stronger, do you really want to kill this 54th Regiment Commander?" ”
"I'm sometimes lazy, I don't think so far under normal circumstances, the most important thing in front of me is how to do a good job in the Dongwuling ambush and train the 54th Regiment into an iron army, as long as this force has a strong combat style, I don't care if I can be the commander of the regiment."
Just when Lei Yunfeng was standing on the commanding heights of Dongwuling, overlooking the road that stretched and hovered between the mountains of Dongwuling at the bottom of the mountain, he served as the commander of the 30th Brigade of the 10th Division, the main force of the ambush Japanese transport convoy, and walked into the temporary front-line headquarters of Division Commander Peng.
"Report to the division, my reconnaissance team found that there was a troop of about one battalion in the adjacent mountain range outside the ambush of our army west of Dongwu Ridge, I don't know if it is a friendly army."
"Brigade Commander Tang, this unit should be the 54th Regiment of the 17th Division of the Western Route Army, according to intelligence, this 54th Regiment is defending the first line of defense of Yongji City, and a squadron of the 71st Brigade of the 108th Division of the Japanese Army has suffered heavy casualties in the battle for life and death, and finally it has not had time to repair after being withdrawn from the front line.
It is said that Lei Yunfeng, the supervision captain of the Western Route Army sent by the Military Command Department, took the initiative to ask for help and made a military order, leading the 54th Regiment to Dongwuling to cooperate with friendly troops to set up an ambush and ambush, and promised to bring the disabled 54th Regiment into an iron army, hahaha, this little guy is really young and arrogant. ”
"Division, it turned out that this unit that appeared on the edge of the ambush seemed to be just a battalion of troops, it turned out to be the 54th Regiment composed of Lengwa in Shaanxi, this person named Lei Yunfeng took the initiative to be the commander of the disabled 54th Regiment, and also made a military order, do you think he is crazy?"
"Brigade Commander Tang, this young man is not crazy, according to the top secret information in the capital, this Lei Yunfeng is indeed a figure that cannot be underestimated, since he has made a military order to bring the disabled 54th Regiment into an iron-clad army, we can help him, it is best not to provoke him for nothing."
"Shizao, this kid is indeed arrogant, since he participated in this Dongwuling ambush, he should take the initiative to get in touch with our troops, but he set up an ambush outside our ambush circle, what does this mean?"
"The young man always likes to show himself on another stove, since he doesn't want to participate in the ambush of the big army, then let him go, but I don't want to watch this little guy suffer, your troops close to this 54th regiment should pay attention to the movements of Lei Yunfeng, once reinforcements are needed, I really want to help him do something."
"Master, listen to what you mean, this Lei Yun Peak is not very promising? Otherwise, how could he dare to make a military order in front of Commander Wei of the Western Route Army? Once you miss, won't you even lose your head? ”
"An unprecedented ambush is imminent, I don't want to think anything about a young baby, this little guy is a mule or a horse, and I will know when this ambush is over."
At this moment, the confidential staff officer of the division headquarters walked up to him and shouted: "Report to the division, Lei Yunfeng, commander of the 54th Regiment of the 17th Division of the Western Route Army, sent a telegram to report to you, and said that he was with a unit with very poor combat ability, and he was embarrassed to come to disturb." ”
"Look at it, look at it, this is Lei Yunfeng, hearsay that this little guy is very awesome, and he easily doesn't put anyone in his eyes, this is an alternative little person in Chongqing, I heard that he was escorted to the execution ground several times and shot, but he was still able to escape from the gun, and he appeared in the West Route Army alive with the aura of Qincha. 258
Now this kid doesn't come to see me, on the grounds that the combat ability of this unit is very poor, he said that he was embarrassed to bother, and only sent a sign-in message, hahaha, this is the rumored Lei Yun Peak.
I didn't meet him, but I didn't hate the young man in his style. Arrogance also needs capital, he is very good at creating favorable conditions for himself, this baby is not a baby, not to be underestimated. ”
Division Commander Peng sighed a few words and ordered the confidential staff officer: "Call back in my name, the telegram has been received, and I hope to cooperate wholeheartedly and successfully win this ambush battle." ”
Lei Yunfeng received a message of encouragement from Master Peng himself, and couldn't help but smile and said to Han Nina: "This Master Peng has heard of it for a long time, but I didn't expect that it is really as the legend says, and he has always had an unpredictable feeling towards his subordinates, I like it." ”
At this moment, the reconnaissance platoon commander in charge of observation ran in with a telescope and shouted nervously: "Report to the regiment, the huge transport convoy of the Japanese army has entered the entrance of Dongwuling, and the friendly troops have not launched an attack. ”
The reconnaissance platoon commander said and handed the telescope to Lei Yunfeng, but he didn't know that Lei Yunfeng had never used this thing.
"No binoculars." Lei Yunfeng stood up and stared at a pair of extremely blessed eyes, glanced at the entrance of Dongwuling, and found that the vanguard of the first echelon of the Japanese army had entered the ambush circle.
Han Nina took the telescope handed to Lei Yunfeng by the reconnaissance platoon commander, and saw that the huge Japanese transport convoy that appeared on the road below the mountain could not see the tail, and couldn't help but shout in amazement: "Boss, the enemy has entered our army's ambush circle, why don't you attack yet?" ”
"Don't worry, the Japanese transport convoy has not yet entered the range of our artillery fire, and the convoy has not all entered the ambush circle.
Wait a little longer, you don't have to be in a hurry, the senior commanders of those large forces will give the order to launch a general attack. ”
Lei Yunfeng repeatedly observed the ambush positions of our army in the vicinity and in the distance, and then said to Han Nina: "Immediately send a report to Su Xiaoyan, who is in ambush with the troops in Banpo, and order the 54th Regiment to move towards Mao'er Mountain with the most covert action, and once it is discovered that the Japanese reconnaissance plane in the air appears, it will be concealed immediately." ”
Su Xiaoyan, who received Han Nina's order from the mountain, immediately sent the message to the deputy head of the waiting group.
According to the order, the deputy regiment commander ordered the 15th Battalion of Zhu Zhensheng of the 54th Regiment to act as the vanguard and advance to Maoershan in a concealed and rapid manner, and the 13th and 14th Battalions followed closely at an interval of 100 meters respectively to reach Maoershan to do their best concealment.
Lei Yunfeng saw that the 54th Regiment under the mountain began to move, and he said to the reconnaissance platoon commander: "Wang Shouchun, dismantle the branches and grass sheds that have been built, and immediately take a shortcut and rush to Mao'er Mountain to set up an ambush." ”
When he found that all the transport vehicles of the second echelon regiment and most of the transport vehicles of the first echelon regiment of the Japanese army had entered the long ambush position of the battle line, he raised his pistol and gave a decisive order:
"The 7th Corps will put its main firepower in the middle of the 1st Echelon Regiment of the Japanese transport convoy, and the main firepower of the 8th Corps will be concentrated in the tail of the 1st Echelon Regiment, and all light and heavy weapons will be brought into full play to the most powerful firepower, and I will be hit hard."
