It was strange that the battle had been won, but there was an atmosphere of worry in the camp. But for the Snow Shame Camp, which is preparing for war with all its strength at the moment, no one thinks that this kind of worry is superfluous, but feels that this kind of atmosphere of imminent battle is normal.

During the day, with the help of terrain and fortifications, they successfully ambushed the Japanese squadron in Soushan, killing and wounding nearly 100 little devils, which was indeed a happy thing for the officers and men of the Snow Shame Battalion. can think of the whereabouts being exposed, and many people are not happy.

According to the Japanese intelligence detected earlier, there is now a Japanese infantry wing stationed outside the mountain. Once the little devil attacks, in the face of a wing of little devils, how long can the Snow Shame Battalion hold out with only this little strength?

Once upon a time, they had a main division of troops and built well-established fortifications, but they were still beaten by a certain infantry wing of the Japanese army. This shadow of defeat is still fresh in my memory when I recall it at this moment!

As night fell, Xu Mingzhi, who had been nervous for a day, quickly convened a meeting of the company commanders under his command. Thinking of the ambush he fought earlier, Xu Mingzhi also realized that he might have fallen for the little devil's strategy to startle the snake.

The company commanders of the four combat companies, including the company commander in charge of logistics, soon came to the temporary battalion headquarters, looked at Xu Mingzhi with a worried face, and soon a company commander said: "Battalion deputy, hasn't the battalion commander called back yet?" ”

"Nope! At this time, it is estimated that the battalion commander is fighting! ”

As the deputy battalion commander, Xu Mingzhi naturally has some prestige in the Snow Shame Camp. But at a critical time, these officers in the battalion, including Xu Mingzhi, seemed to rely on Hu Biao, the battalion commander who was far away in Runzhou.

"Alas! Runzhou City is nearly a hundred miles away from us, and even if the battalion commander receives a telegram, he will not be able to come back for a while. Looking at the devil's frame, it is estimated that they will attack tomorrow morning, so let's discuss how to defend! ”

Tian Sili, who is the commander of a company, also hopes that Hu Biao will appear as soon as possible. But the reality at this moment is that Hu Biao will definitely not be able to come back for a while. If the Snow Shame Camp wants to escape this fate, it will ultimately depend on them to work together to tide over the difficulties.

Listening to what Tian Sili said, stepping on the cigarette butts thrown to the ground, Xu Mingzhi clapped his hands and said: "Lao Tian is right, the battalion commander led people to infiltrate Runzhou City at this time, and he also went into battle to kill the enemy and fight devils, we can't count on him for everything."

Judging from today's confrontation, I don't think we may not have the strength to fight. Compared to fighting the little devils in the past, we really don't have any advantage. But this time, we have more advantages, but we have fewer troops than the little devils! ”

It is clear that as the supreme commander of the Snow Shame Battalion at this moment, if even he loses confidence in himself, how can he motivate his subordinates to fight bravely to kill the enemy? As a major staff officer of the national army, Xu Mingzhi is also arrogant and wants to prove his ability.

Looking at the expressions of the company commanders sitting and waiting for analysis, Xu Mingzhi continued: "In terms of troops, the little devil has stationed an infantry wing outside the mountain. And the strength we have at hand is less than an infantry brigade of little devils.

But don't forget, where are we at the moment? This is not a plain area, nor is it an isolated city, but a steep mountain. Fighting in such a big mountain, no matter how many troops the little devils have, they can't be launched at once.

During the day, we had already defeated a squadron of little devils in the mountains, and only one company had actually participated in the battle. But the end result? won in a row, and killed and injured nearly 100 devils, and its own casualties were almost negligible.

Even if the little devils launch a general attack tomorrow, they can use at most one infantry brigade. No matter how many people there are, they can't be put away, and the devils can only attack in squads or squadrons. An infantry brigade was divided, and the defensive pressure on each company was not great.

The important thing is that we have fortifications and trenches built in advance, and the attacking imps have no terrain advantage. Secondly, this infantry wing came from afar, carrying limited heavy equipment, at most a few infantry guns.

Even if they carry the infantry artillery into the mountains, don't we also have captured infantry artillery and mortars? In terms of artillery strength, we also have an advantage, there is enough ammunition, enough food, and the little devils come from afar, how long does it take to consume? ”

"Battalion deputy, what if the little devil sends out a plane?"

Listening to Xu Mingzhi's analysis of the advantages of friend and foe, a company commander expressed his worries. For these officers who have experienced bloody battles as prisoners of war, the heavy artillery and airplanes of the little devils are the weapons of destruction that they are really afraid of.

"If the little devil uses a bomber, then let's hide. Earlier, when digging fortifications, the battalion commander made a special confession and dug several small bomb shelters. The little devil plane is coming, let's go hide in the hole.

When the plane is gone, let's come out again. This is a mountainous area, not a plain area or a town. In the air, the little devil simply cannot accurately hit the target. Before the bombing, the attacking little devils did not dare to get too close.

To put it mildly, even if the little devil really bombs indiscriminately, if we can't beat it, we will run into the mountains, and the little devil can't blow up Anhua Mountain, right? Besides, I don't think the little devils dare to bomb casually? ”

"Why?"

"Don't forget, what were we before? In the eyes of the little devils, we are all people who have been captured by them, is it worth the little devils to use an infantry wing to encircle and suppress them? What they really care about is the supplies we moved into the mountains! ”

"What does the battalion deputy mean that in order to ensure the recapture of supplies, the devils dare not easily set fire to the mountain?"

"Don't be careless! In short, the soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, and we can't sit still. Anyway, our life is earned for nothing, and it is worth living until now. If you can die on the battlefield, it will not be the honor of our generation of soldiers! ”

The officers who were qualified to participate in the deliberations had tasted what it was like to be a prisoner. If they are given another choice, I believe they don't want to be captives of the little devils again. To put it simply, it is to die rather than surrender.

Besides, Hu Biao had already registered them earlier, and if they were really unfortunate enough to die in battle, they could become martyrs. At least not as in the past, where they may be listed as missing, leaving families without the slightest benefit or news.

What's more, he has obviously become a martyr, but his family does not know about it, and the army does not recognize it. So that the family members are still looking forward to it, but they don't know what to look forward to, in fact, they have already died on the battlefield. And that concern doesn't exist anymore.

Even Hu Biao personally promised that if they died on the battlefield, they would get more pensions than those soldiers. With this money, at least my family can live a better life in the future, and I don't have to worry about their safety anymore.

Just when the officers reached an agreement and fought to the end with the little devil. Zheng Jingwu, who was in charge of the radio station, said with a happy face: "Report!" The battalion commander is in a hurry! The situation is known, and the battalion commander will return to the mountain tomorrow to command the operation. ”

As soon as he heard this, Xu Mingzhi didn't feel that the command was taken away at all, but breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What about the telegram?" Give it to me! ”

After reading the translated telegram, Xu Mingzhi also smiled and said: "It seems that the battalion commander coincides with our ideas, and he also hopes that we will block the attack and strive to hold out until tomorrow night." And he himself should be on his way back at this moment.

In addition to this, the battalion commander has given us the go-ahead to use special ammunition if necessary. Lieutenant Zhao, after the meeting, all the gas masks seized this time were distributed to each company, so that the soldiers could learn how to wear gas masks.

Secondly, some of the captured special ammunition was also moved out and put in the battalion headquarters. When that company is in need, we will shoot out the special bombs, so that the little devils can also taste the power of the special bombs they have made. ”

"Yes!"

After receiving the telegram from Hu Biao and learning that Hu Biao might return tomorrow, the company commanders, who already regarded him as the backbone of their hearts, seemed to have more confidence. Using special ammunition to fight back against the little devils, they really didn't expect it before.

Now let Hu Biao remind them, and they know that among the seized materials, there are such good things as special ammunition. Find the right moment and shoot a few shots at the little devil's attacking team, and I'm sure the little devil will also fall into a collapse.

The most important thing is that the mountains and woodlands contaminated with special ammunition gas must be cautious even if the little devils attack. If you are not careful, you may also be contaminated with those remaining mustard seeds during the attack.

Regarding the situation in the mountains, Hu Biao, who was returning from a rapid march, really didn't know very well. Hu Minyi was responsible for bringing the rescued prisoners of war back to Anhua Mountain safely and carefully, and he himself returned overnight with 30 soldiers.

Passing by a big mountain on the way, Hu Biao let the troops rest in place and went into the mountain alone for a while. When Hu Biao came out again, the team that had rested for a while continued to move forward. And in this valley, a large amount of materials have been piled up.

So much so that Hu Minyi, who also set off overnight, arrived in this valley with the newly rescued prisoners of war. Looking at the supply boxes that were simply covered with weeds, many prisoners of war were overjoyed, knowing that these were life-saving things.

Food, meat, weapons, and ammunition were enough to arm everyone. With these supplies, weapons and ammunition, even on the way to Anhua Mountain, this team of prisoners of war can't help but worry about the problem of supplies and ammunition.

The newly appointed company commander of the prisoner of war said with admiration: "Platoon Commander Hu, what is the origin of your battalion commander?" In such a short period of time, it is possible to get so many supplies and ammunition. Could it be that you were ordered to fight guerrillas here in Runzhou? ”

"Company Commander Xu, about the origin of the battalion commander, you will know it yourself when we join the large army. The weapons were handed out one by one for the soldiers to take good care of. In the case of ammunition, some will be given to each person, and the rest will be used as spare ammunition. ”

"Good! What to do next, please Platoon Commander Hu for advice! ”

Despite the fact that the company commander of the new mission, the earlier position was also a captain. But in the face of Hu Minyi, a former second lieutenant, Xu Yanchu also behaved very politely. This kind of politeness is more of a soldier's respect for the strong.

When he was rescued earlier, Xu Yanchu thought that most of the above had been sent to attack Runzhou City. It wasn't until he went out of the city and into the mountains that Xu Yanchu really knew that Hu Biao only led a guard platoon, and he turned Runzhou City upside down.

Blow up the ships moored in the harbor, blow up the supplies stored by the little devils at the docks, and even shell the barracks and garrison headquarters in the city. Such a bold combat method, Xu Yanchu can't admire it if he doesn't want to!
