Chapter 678: Battle Clouds Cover Vesp Ridge
The sound of artillery one after another shocked those strongholds who were struggling to survive.
They report to their superiors on the phone.
Smoke everywhere?
The (ri) military command also did not understand the reason.
After repeated thinking and judgment, the (RI) army left one regiment of the puppet army as the broken rear force, and the rest of the troops returned in a swarm of bees.
They are going to encircle and suppress the enemies who are causing trouble behind them, and, mutilating their brigade commanders!
In the morning, the sun is warm (rè), not hot, and the mountains and fields of early summer are green.
(ri) The army is moving forward at a rapid pace.
Han Feng immediately noticed the change in Lierao.
Something big is wrong.
The devil is back?
Withdrawal!
All troops must be lurking at once.
There are so many enemies that his troops will not be able to resist in any case.
Very helpless, but also very sensible.
He used the devil's phone to send an order to each company to evacuate and stay on standby.
If it is not possible to get through individually, send cavalry to notify them quickly.
His direct battalion, with Miao Jiaqiang as the battalion commander, has five companies.
The troops evacuated, took the opportunity to rest, waited for the evening, and continued the fighting.
He personally led the cavalry company and others to move to the north, where thirty miles away, there was a mountain, Vesp Ridge.
According to reports, there are many giant hornets in this area, and there are many hornets, so it gets its name.
Along the way, you can see the people of the village everywhere, looking forward to the wall, pointing and pointing.
Slightly closer to the village, the villagers are well hidden, peeking through the cracks.
In farther villages, villagers even stood on the wall, laughing and discussing.
There are also villages that are on the lookout.
Anyway, think they're a bunch of bandits, right?
There were no military uniforms, and there were all kinds of clothes, and some poor people, in order to save clothes, happened to be (rè), and they were shirtless.
Others, wearing the clothes of devils and puppet soldiers, which were captured.
Han Feng found a problem.
It's hard to really lurk.
If the devils and puppet soldiers chase after them and ask, the villagers will definitely confess the whereabouts of their troops in order to protect themselves.
Han Feng admitted that he was careless and ignored the problem.
What to do?
First to Vesp Ridge and then.
The speed of the troops is not very fast.
After fighting overnight, after tomorrow, the fighting continued, and the officers and men of the Hanfeng troops fought hard and were more tired.
All kinds of unaccustomed to it, the battalion directly under Hanfeng also carried a large amount of baggage, some food, some shells, and more than 20 mortars.
Look at the devils, the speed is extremely fast, and the vanguard of more than 500 people has already set off from the county seat and chased in their direction.
This is white, the devil's combat power can be fully utilized, and his night vision ability and perspective ability can't exert too much power.
While on the march, Han Feng found that there was an enemy in front of him, all of them were puppet troops, more than 300 people, and they were actually racing in oblique spurs, trying to intercept them.
It is estimated that it is a puppet army unit stationed near Vesp Ridge.
Around, within a radius of more than 50 miles, the garrisons of the (ri) puppet army are all converging around the Vespa Ridge!
Han Feng was startled, could it be that the enemy had discovered his intentions?
No way.
Since something is wrong, the transfer target has been temporarily changed.
About ten miles ahead, there is a village, surrounded by two mountain beams, with a relative altitude of more than 50 meters, and dense vegetation.
Listening to the soldiers, the village is a pimple shop, and the mountain beams are the south mountain beam and the north mountain beam.
This kind of topography is extremely common in the mountainous provinces of North China.
Han Feng temporarily changed his mind and stationed his troops here.
The villages here are much more sparse, and there are no other villages within 1,500 meters of the surrounding area.
Han Feng immediately set up defenses.
The fighters quickly dug tunnels, trenches, facing the southwest, dug the positions of five companies.
The individual pit is mainly dug in the vegetation as much as possible, and it can be hidden.
Machine gun positions, artillery positions, and so on.
While digging, pick some branches and artemisia grass to cover up.
It was only about half an hour before the fighters stopped to rest out of breath.
Individual pits were basically dug up, and the short trenches of each company were being extended and expanded
The enemy's forces are rapidly moving.
When the Western Front (RI) Army passed one, it returned to the county with an infantry brigade, followed by a second, then a third.
The (RI) Corps also had four full infantry brigades.
The cavalry brigade fought repeatedly and was wiped out by a third of the Hanfeng army.
Other brigades, as well as a number of personnel.
The (ri) army of 6,000 men and the puppet army of more than 10,000 people quickly returned to the area centered on the county seat.
Among them, more than 1,000 people of the (RI) army of an infantry brigade and a puppet army of a regiment stopped for a short time and pursued them in the northeast direction.
Han Feng immediately made this serious matter clear to all the soldiers, and finally "all personnel, you must take active action and fight the enemy!" ”
When the soldiers heard this, their expressions (qg) were different, some were excited, some were nervous, some were silent, and some said that they were listening to Han Feng's command.
Han Feng had to put pressure on the soldiers, exaggerating the danger of not fighting hard, "Since you have joined our anti-Japanese war forces, you must be brave, how can you be afraid of devils?" Again, if we have annihilated more than 1,000 of our enemies in a row, how can the enemy give up? Even if you want to surrender, the devils won't take you in, you can only kill you! At that time, you will understand what life is better than death! ”
As soon as I heard Han Feng's words, many Rutou echoed the voice, the devil is usually arrogant, this time he suffered a big loss, he must be ruthless!
Whoever surrenders and who does not fight well is a fool.
The troops rested while waiting for the battle.
Han Feng has been keeping an eye on the enemies around him (QG).
This ability to look and observe for fifty miles is really amazing!
There is no need to spend a lot of investigators, and there will never be a mistake in reporting.
He suddenly noticed a big problem.
To the north of the Hornet Ridge, there are cavalry of the Eighth Route Army, which is hurrying forward!
At least two hundred people.
The equipment is very average, the rifles are not enough, mainly sabers, and most of the war horses ridden are native Inner Mongolian horses, (shēn) are short and strong, and the impact and speed are not correct
Now, Hanfeng's troops are twenty miles away from Vespling.
Vesp Ridge is fifty miles away from the county seat here.
The pursuers dispatched by the county seat are ten miles away from the pimple shop.
The cavalry units of the Eighth Route Army rushed from the northwest of the Hornet Ridge and were soon more than ten miles apart.
The puppet army is gathering over there, and there are already more than 100 people in the (ri) army and 6 or 700 in the puppet army.
They built fortifications around the Vesp Ridge.
Among them, a devil officer, with more than 100 puppet troops and more than 30 (RI) troops, left Vesp Ridge and headed for the northwest direction.
Away from Vesp Ridge, at a distance of five miles, there is an infantry squadron of devils and a battalion of puppet troops.
Ten miles away, there were three more (ri) armies, with a total strength of more than 200 men.
A battalion of the puppet army.
It seems that a big battle is inevitable, and I don't know how this cavalry of the Eighth Route Army leaked the news.
(ri) The puppet army must not only intercept, but also ambush!
How can this be?
Han Feng decided to lead a small number of cavalry to attack to meet the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, flank the enemy, and disrupt the enemy's hunting plan.
Let Miao Jiaqiang be the battalion commander and command the battle of the pimple shop.
He was reminded of a few words.
How to use artillery fire, if self-preservation, etc.
