Chapter 82: Missteps
Around 7 a.m., the sky had begun to turn from dark to light. According to the original plan, the Eighth Route Army launched an attack on Pingshe Station on time. The deserted morning at Heisha Station suddenly became very lively.
The commander of the devils, who was entangled with the 735th Regiment, confirmed to the devil next to him the explosion he had just heard, "Did you two hear the explosion in the direction of Pingshe Station just now?? "(Japanese) Heisha Station is far from here, but it is not close, but the sound of the explosion at Heisha Station is already very weak, and the gunfire itself is continuous, so if you don't listen carefully, ordinary people can't detect it.
After the commander asked, one of the devils said that he seemed to have heard the explosion, while the other said that he had not heard any strange sounds other than the gunshots from this side. The commander of the devil, who was already uncertain, was even more puzzled after asking.
In order to thoroughly understand the situation at the Heishe Station, the devil commander immediately assigned two devil soldiers to return to the station to find out.
The two soldiers ran back to the station as fast as they could. Based on the current running speed of these two devils, a round trip from here to Pingshe Station is about ten minutes.
The devils who ran back found that the Eighth Route Army was already attacking Pingshe Station, because the periphery was full of the Eighth Route Army, the two devils did not dare to get too close, but just hid in the distance to observe, and the surrounding Eighth Route Army did not notice the two devils.
After figuring out the situation, the two devils went back as fast as they could. Staying where these two devils didn't help.
When the devil commander saw the two fighters coming back, he immediately asked, "What is the situation at Heisha Station??" ”
One of the devils replied, "Report to the chief, Heisha Station was attacked by the enemy. ”
The devil commander who figured out the situation looked stunned. After a little thought, the devil commander decided to leave a small part of his forces to entangle with the enemy here, and all the remaining troops returned to Heisha Station to ensure the safety of the station.
The devil doesn't care what the Eighth Route Army is like, what is the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. The devil only knows that the location of the Pingshe station is extremely important, and there is no room for error, as long as the Pingshe station is threatened, other places are not important, and the station must be kept first. This principle is actually very simple, just like playing chess, the opponent eats your pawns and cannons at the same time, and you will definitely not hesitate to abandon your pawns and save your cannons.
The devil changes the front team to the back team for the first time, and the back team becomes the front team. Except for the squadron that was left behind to stop the Eighth Route Army, all the other devils withdrew from the battle and prepared to return to the station the same way.
The second battalion commander also noticed the devil's abnormal behavior, but it was not clear at this time that the devil actually wanted to retreat. The devil's move was too sudden, and it was normal for the second battalion commander not to react.
The devil has already begun to retreat, and the second battalion commander has completely figured out the devil's intentions, but it is already a little late to understand it.
The commander of the second battalion took the initiative to change from defense to offense, but was successfully blocked by a squadron left by the devil.
The terrain here is narrow, and it is not easy for the devils to attack the Eighth Route Army, but the same Eighth Route Army is not easy to attack the devils.
The devils of this squadron did not choose to stop the Eighth Route Army in place, but took the initiative to retreat some distance, and the devils retreated to a pass to occupy the terrain advantage to stop the Eighth Route Army.
The second battalion commander was a little anxious at this time, and the only thing the second battalion commander had to do now was to stop the devil and prevent the devil from returning to the station smoothly. If these devils return to the station, they will definitely seriously threaten the friendly forces at the station.
The commander of the second battalion pressed the soldiers of the whole battalion in an attempt to break through the squadron of devils, although the Eighth Route Army had a great advantage in numbers, but now it was the devils who occupied the terrain advantage, and the devils' weapons and equipment were more than one grade stronger than the Eighth Route Army. These gaps directly led to the unsuccessful two attempts of the 2nd Battalion. At this time, the retreating devil had disappeared from view.
The second battalion commander was now anxious and helpless, and on the one hand, he continued to try to attack the devils, and on the other hand, he sent someone to truthfully convey the situation to Feng Yipeng.
A soldier of the Eighth Route Army went straight to the devil's stronghold as fast as possible to deliver a message to Feng Yipeng.
Feng Yipeng is still passing the time with the devils in the stronghold, why do you say it is to pass the time, because Feng Yipeng has not organized an offensive at all at this time.
The soldier of the Eighth Route Army just now found Feng Yipeng, and then truthfully reported the situation in the south to Feng Yipeng.
After the Eighth Route Army soldier finished speaking, he stood very cautiously, as scared and guilty as a child who had done something wrong.
Feng Yipeng did not get angry and reprimand indiscriminately after learning of the situation, Feng Yipeng knew very well in his heart that it was not the fault of the second battalion commander and the second battalion that he did not stop the devil, the terrain in the south was like that, the Eighth Route Army could stop the devil, and the devil could also stop the Eighth Route Army. It can only be said that the devil made the wisest choice. The wood is already in the boat, and there is no power to change.
Feng Yipeng's gaze inadvertently swept over the fighter, and Feng Yipeng noticed the expression on the fighter's face with a look of self-reproach. An ordinary soldier in the second battalion is now so self-blaming, it is conceivable that the commander of the second battalion must be even more remorseful now. Feng Yipeng comforted the soldier, "Don't hang your face, it's not your second battalion's fault." The legs are on the devil's body, and the devil can go wherever he wants. ”
The soldier was still silent, and he didn't even dare to look at Feng Yipeng.
Feng Yipeng saw all this, but Feng Yipeng was not the kind of person who was very good at comforting others, Feng Yipeng could only tell the soldier everything he should say: "You go back and tell your battalion commander." Let him not be too self-responsible, just do his best in everything. Whether the outcome is good or bad is not up to people. Don't mess with yourself at this time. ”
After the soldier understood what Feng Yipeng said, he finally nodded at Feng Yipeng.
Feng Yipeng waved his hand to the warrior and signaled that he could go.
After the soldier left, Feng Yipeng began to think seriously about the current situation, Feng Yipeng patted his thigh, since the encirclement point failed now, he simply directly eliminated the encirclement point. This is also a way that there is no way, what Feng Yipeng can do now is to stop the loss.
On the other side, the ambush position in the north, Shen Yunjie's seventh company still did not fire a single shot. The Seventh Company did not have any sense of participation in this combat mission.
Shen Yunjie just woke up, don't get me wrong, Shen Yunjie stayed up from last night until six o'clock this morning, and he really couldn't stand it, so he slept in place for a while.
When Shen Yunjie opened his eyes, he felt a chill sweep through his body, and then instantly became extremely energetic. The first thing Shen Yunjie did after waking up was to ask Lao Cai how he was doing now, and the place where Shen Yunjie slept was next to Lao Cai.
Lao Cai spread his hands and expressed some loss and helplessness, "Don't mention it company commander, the devil has never appeared." Lao Cai also slept for a while, Lao Cai slept from more than five o'clock to more than six o'clock, and woke up half an hour earlier than Shen Yunjie.
Shen Yunjie, who understood the situation, let out a long sigh: "Hey." Now it seems that the devils will definitely not support from this direction. At this time, Shen Yunjie was more certain than yesterday, if there was a nine-percent chance of the devil appearing yesterday, then today there was not even a one-percent chance.
Lao Cai now has no strength to complain except for envy of others, except that there are devils to fight.
"Lao Cai, you can inform everyone to have breakfast quickly." The thing that Shen Yunjie could think of at this time was to eat on time. Breakfast is still those cold and hard nests.
After Feng Yipeng decided, he immediately called the commander of the first battalion. "Give you two hours from now on, and you give me the devil's stronghold." Feng Yipeng's order was short and to the point.
The first battalion commander seemed to have heard it wrong, and his first reaction was to confirm to Feng Yipeng again: "Commander, what you said is true??" ”
"It's true, you go and get ready to go"
Although the commander of the first battalion didn't know why Feng Yipeng suddenly changed his strategy, the commander of the first battalion was very happy at the moment, and he was finally able to fight with these little devils. The commander of the first battalion did not know at this moment that the devil who had been lured out of the south had run away.
At this time, the first battalion commander looked confident, in fact, the first battalion commander already had a plan to break through the devil's stronghold in his heart, but he couldn't really talk to the devil in the stronghold before. They were just bait, but now it's different, Feng Yipeng said that he wanted to eliminate these devils.
After the commander of the first battalion returned to the forward position, he directly transferred two companies. The commander of a battalion had the two companies begin to search for stones and bricks in the vicinity.
In addition to the devil's stronghold, it is also considered a wilderness, and the stones are still easy to find. The commander of the first battalion has no rigid requirements for the size of the stones and bricks. But try not to be too big, if it is too big, it is not very convenient to move, of course, try not to be too small, too small will not play any role.
The two companies had a stone in their hands, and the commander of the first battalion led them to the blockade ditch near the southern turret.
It has been said before that it is most appropriate to attack from the south, except through the drawbridge.
The commander of the first battalion ordered all these stones to be thrown into the blockade ditch, and there was only one requirement, that is, to throw them as concentrated as possible.
The commander of the first battalion divided the two companies into groups of ten. The first group crawled near the blockade ditch, and the first battalion commander was also among the first batch of ten, and the first battalion commander wanted to take the lead.
The distance is not too close, as long as the stone can be thrown into the blockade ditch, the first battalion commander specially instructed before throwing: "You will try to throw it at me at a point in a while." ”
Whoosh, the stones made a small line in the air and all fell into the blockade ditch.
After the ten people were finished, they were replaced by a group of ten people, and then the one who finished throwing the stones continued to look for stones around.
During this period, the devils also discovered this move of the Eighth Route Army, and then interfered with it. So much so that some fighters were directly killed by the devils because their movements were too large.
Under the interference of the devils, the Eighth Route Army had to be more cautious and try to ensure their own safety when throwing stones. It's just that speed has an impact.
The two companies went back and forth over and over again, and the same position in the blockade ditch was soon thrown down by the Eighth Route Army.
There are more and more stones, and they are getting closer and closer to the ground.
This action lasted about an hour. Although the stones in the blockade ditch were not at the same level as the ground, they were only forty or fifty centimeters different from the ground, a height that would be difficult for an adult to climb up.
That's right, the Eighth Route military stone pads a passage in the blockade ditch. In fact, this method is very simple, and the devil has also thought of it, but it is a pity that there are not so many stones inside the devil's stronghold, and the open space is quite flat.
With this stone path, it became very easy to break into the devil's stronghold.
