Chapter 372: Reverse Outflanking

Ning Zhiheng is also from the infantry class of the Whampoa Military Academy, and he is no stranger to the various terrain arrangements of the battle.

From the topography of the situation, it is an excellent ambush site further on, and it can be said that if your troops enter this sloped area, if someone suddenly attacks from the high ground, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Team leader, what's the situation?" Sun Jiacheng's voice came from behind him, he was at the back of the team, responsible for preventing players from falling behind in the night, but the sudden concealment of the team caught him a little off guard, so he quietly touched it and found Ning Zhiheng to ask.

Ning Zhiheng pointed to the dark place in front of him and said in a low voice, "I suspect that there is an ambush nearby, don't act yet." ”

After a while, the reconnaissance personnel in front heard the movement behind them, and immediately hid on the spot, and Shen Xiang, who was in charge of the investigation, also quickly rushed back.

"Team leader! What's the situation? ”

Ning Zhiheng looked at Shen Xiang and asked, "Did you find anything before?" ”

Shen Xiang shook his head and said, "After dark, our investigation effect is not good, and we have not found anything!" ”

What Shen Xiang said is also the truth, marching in the dark, just by some moonlight, the difficulty of the reconnaissance work is very great, and it is often too late by the time the reconnaissance personnel come into contact with the enemy.

Ning Zhiheng didn't want to explain the reason specifically, and he couldn't explain the reason, but he was the military commander, and he had always been strong, and the officers under him were all his old subordinates, and they were all extremely obedient to him, so no matter what he decided, he would implement it to the letter.

He began, "I always felt that this position was very unsafe, and that we should be at the western end of the double horsetail, with a slope on the road ahead, a high ground on the right side of the road, a flat area on the left, and a small river on the left, which would be a great place to ambush."

I suspect that there is an ambush on the high ground on the right, as soon as we enter the slope, the enemy will strike at us at close range, even if we retreat to the flat ground on the left, we will be blocked by a small river, the whole area is within the range of rifle fire, and the terrain there is flat, there is no cover, we will be exposed to the enemy's blows, the enemy will calmly strike at us, and the losses will be very heavy. ”

When several subordinates heard Ning Zhiheng's words, although they were puzzled, the investigators did not find anything abnormal during the march of the troops, and the team leader suddenly ordered to hide on the spot, the reason was that they felt that it was very unsafe here.

However, for Ning Zhiheng's outstanding ability, everyone has blind trust, and in the past year, Ning Zhiheng's demonic performance has left everyone with no room for doubt.

They believed that the team leader must have found something suspicious, but they just didn't want to say it.

"Team leader, what do we do now?" Sun Jiacheng asked.

He was born in the reconnaissance unit in the army, and he is no stranger to this kind of small-scale engagement, now it depends on Ning Zhiheng's meaning, whether to fight or not, what strategic purpose needs to be achieved if he fights, is it annihilation? Or is it a rout? The strategic purpose is different, and the style of play is also different!

Ning Zhiheng nodded and said: "First of all, we must confirm whether there is an enemy ambush, and then make preparations for annihilation, if it is the Japanese, then even if they are unlucky, this highland is their burial place."

Now let me talk about the specific arrangements, Lao Sun, you lead forty people to guard here, and send a few more team members to wait on the way we come, if there is our transport military vehicle passing by, stop them, the Japanese are very likely to come for them.

In addition, you have arranged the attack position on the spot, and waiting for our signal, I will lead a large force down the trail, go around the side to the rear of the high ground, and conduct reconnaissance.

If it's really the Japanese, then start attacking, drive the Japanese down the heights, and when you hear the gunshots, block this direction, and destroy as much as you can.

If it weren't for the Japanese ambush, we would have withdrawn with a false alarm. ”

Everyone nodded, but Shen Xiang on the side had some questions, he was also a thoughtful person, and asked: "The Japanese army has a very strong combat capability, and these plainclothes teams are even more elite, they are on high ground, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if your attack does not go well, what should we do?" ”

Ning Zhiheng said with a smile: "That's okay, don't forget that this is Pudong, and it's still in our hands, there are still tens of thousands of troops stationed along the Huangpu River, if the attack doesn't go well, we will consume them with them, and at the same time send a report to the Eighth Army stationed there, so that they can reinforce us."

The longer it drags on, the better it will be for us, and when our reinforcements arrive, these Japanese will have to wait for death!

Here I want to remind you that small-scale encounters are different from positional battles on the battlefield, our focus is to reduce our own casualties while destroying the enemy, as for what positions they occupy, we don't care, so the high ground they occupy is not important to us, once the battle starts, fight if you can, if you can't fight, don't rush hard, drag them to death, if they break through, don't push too hard, try to kill the enemy, keep a distance and bite, they can't run, There is no need for needless casualties among our brothers, understand? ”

Ning Zhiheng's purpose of the battle is very clear, if it is really an ambush by the Japanese plainclothes team, then just keep an eye on them, in their own defense area, they will not be able to run sooner or later, but they have such a small number of men under their own hands, the Japanese army is very effective in the early days of the war, he doesn't want to be greedy for this credit, let his subordinates suffer too much.

Everyone understands people, and they know what Ning Zhiheng means when they hear it, and they suddenly feel relieved, this kind of fighting style has the least casualties.

In the final analysis, Ning Zhiheng really can't become a good general who leads the troops to fight, the so-called mercy is not in charge of the army, the real general can endure and face the heavy casualties of his subordinates in order to achieve strategic goals, judge the gains and losses rationally, and finally achieve the expected goal.

But Ning Zhiheng seems to be ruthless, but it is to the Japanese and those who can be killed, but he has always cherished and loved his relatives and brothers, just like he did to his family.

Watching the living lives around him leave was a very painful thing for Ning Zhiheng.

After the matter was arranged, Ning Zhiheng took Hong Nan, the guide who was most familiar with the terrain, and one hundred and twenty team members, and left the avenue and started to detour from the side path.

Under the leadership of the guide Hong Nan, it took them half an hour to successfully go around the back of the high ground.

Ning Zhiheng immediately arranged a few firing points and arranged the firepower, while he took Zuo Gang and the two men to reconnoiter forward.

Ning Zhiheng's eyesight is very good, as long as there is a faint moonlight, he can see it clearly, he observed the surroundings clearly, and then chose a direction to go up.

Ning Zhiheng soon came to a place and stopped, he pointed to a place on the left side in front of him, Zuo Gang quickly focused his attention, observed carefully, and soon found that there were two figures sitting leaning under a tree.

From time to time, they stuck their heads out to take a look around them, and then retracted them.

These are two secret sentinels, Zuo Gang looked at Ning Zhiheng, and couldn't help but secretly admire, in the case of being so far away, the team leader can keenly perceive that he will never be able to do it, Ning Zhiheng signaled, and the two of them touched it quietly.

And these two secret posts were only routinely arranged to be guarded, and the Japanese plainclothes team had always been they ambushing and plotting against others, but they had never been attacked, and they were not too vigilant.

"Nakane-kun, how long do you say we're going to wait here, it's been in ambush for so long?" A man asked in Japanese.

"I don't know, but I heard the captain say that the supply of the Chinese army generally passes every ten days, and it is only in these two days if you count it, be patient!" The other also replied in a low voice in Japanese.

The two of them were talking in a low voice, and from time to time they were sticking out their heads to look down, but they only felt that there was wind in the back of their heads, and they were all hit hard, and they lost consciousness.

Ning Zhiheng and Zuo Gang shot at the same time to deal with these two people, Ning Zhiheng clearly heard the whispered conversation between the two people, and it was already certain that this was the transport convoy of the Japanese ambushing the Chinese army, but they had met their own troops in advance.

Fortunately, his reaction was timely and he stopped the troops from moving forward in advance and was not discovered by the enemy, otherwise the consequences would have been serious.

It has been determined that it is Japanese, Ning Zhiheng gestured to Zuo Gang to go back and bring a large army up, and he continued to search nearby to clear the secret outpost.

Sun Jiacheng turned around and left, while Ning Zhiheng relied on his superhuman perception to search around, and finally found that there was a secret sentry in the other direction, and the two of them were hiding behind a mountain rock, leaning out from time to time to observe the surrounding situation.

He slowly lurked through, but this time it didn't go as smoothly as before, and just as there was a slight sound of rubble under his feet, a dark sentry immediately turned his head and looked behind him.

Ning Zhiheng didn't hesitate at all, the short blade in his hand flew out, and with a cold light, the extremely strong force penetrated deeply through the entire neck, and the blade cut off his trachea, let out a muffled snort, and fell down weakly.

At the same time as throwing out the short blade, Ning Zhiheng's figure swept forward rapidly, and just when the other dark whistle reacted and reached out to draw his gun, Ning Zhiheng had already jumped in front of him, and only hit the chest of this dark whistle directly with a heavy punch, and the chest made a sternum breaking sound, and the huge penetrating force almost shattered his heart, and before a mouthful of blood could be spit out, he was covered by another big hand, and his body fell backwards, and he was pressed tightly on the mountain rock.

Ning Zhiheng confirmed that the dark whistle in his hand was dead, and as soon as his hand was released, the corpse of the dark whistle slipped to the ground.

Only then did he turn around and come to the dark sentry where he fell to the ground, stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, and hit him in the heart with a heavy punch again, the dark sentry that was already in a dying state was killed instantly, Ning Zhiheng finally pulled out the short blade that had been deeply inserted into his neck, wiped the blood on the body of the dark sentry, and turned to leave.

The two secret sentinels didn't have time to issue the slightest alarm, and they were solved by Ning Zhiheng neatly.
