After a hard day's work, the officers and men of the Snow Shame Battalion quickly returned to their respective barracks to rest after enjoying a rather sumptuous celebration banquet. Many fighters are also full of anticipation for going out of the mountains to fight later.

Although they didn't know what to do out of the mountain, the soldiers who were left behind didn't feel anything to be happy about. Compared to the soldiers who go out, staying in the camp may not be safe. One is to take the initiative and the other is to fight back passively.

Whether you go out of the mountain or stay behind, you may fight against the little devils, and you may all die. Fortunately, after experiencing this defensive counterattack, many fighters felt that it might be safer to follow Hu Biao.

Hu Biao, who went out early after eating, handed over the follow-up tasks to Xu Mingzhi. In order to fight the sneak attack battle tonight, Hu Biao and the guard platoon must take advantage of the rest of the rest to eliminate the guard posts deployed by the Japanese army on the periphery.

In the eyes of others, the guard platoon follows Hu Biao every day and is reused. But many fighters still understand that joining the guard platoon to fight will be harder. If you don't have the ability and ability to bear it, the guard platoon is not something that anyone can enter if they want to.

With the newly selected fifteen veterans, Hu Biao soon appeared in the mountain pass. Looking at Xu Sandao, who had completed the defense at the mountain pass, Hu Biao, who brought hot soup and hot rice to him, also ordered the soldiers to start enjoying the belated dinner.

Taking advantage of the meal, Hu Biao also asked: "Sandao, is there any movement of the little devil?" ”

"Nope! Earlier, I took someone forward to touch it, but I didn't touch the little devil. However, there are quite a few patrols outside the station. Looking at it like this, the little devil didn't plan to send troops into the mountains tonight, he should want to trap the camp! ”

After truthfully explaining the situation detected before to Hu Biao, Hu Biao thought for a while and said, "Okay, you eat first, and after eating, go out with me to find out the situation." Fight to push our attack position two miles outside the camp of the little devils. ”

"Understood!"

"These fifteen brothers were just selected by me from the whole battalion, and you will be assigned to each class later. When Minyi comes back, our guard platoon will be full. What are the rules in the platoon, you tell them more, and let the old brothers bring more. ”

"Yes!"

I didn't know that Hu Biao was preparing to attack the infantry wing in the barracks at night, and after dinner, the commander of the infantry wing also called a meeting of his subordinates to discuss tomorrow's combat deployment. Compared to the morning meeting, the number of people meeting tonight was significantly smaller.

According to Miura Shinpei's suggestion, the commander of the infantry wing quickly said: "I have asked the division commander for punishment before, and today's wing has suffered heavy losses, which is caused by my underestimation of the cunning and tenacity of this group of Chinese troops, and my overconfidence.

Although I have taken all the responsibilities, our mission is not complete. When dawn comes, I will lead the rest of the wing into the mountains again to encircle and suppress those defeated soldiers. To this end, I have asked the division commander to coordinate with the air force to assist in the war.

After entering the mountains tomorrow, they will first surround the Chinese army, and then send a small detachment to guide the army and air force to carry out targeted bombing. The positions of the Chinese Army can withstand the shelling of our artillery squadrons, and absolutely cannot withstand the aerial bombs of the Air Force.

In tomorrow's bombing, I have already advised the Air Force to use incendiary bombs. There is a lot of vegetation on the blocking positions of the Chinese army, and if it is ignited, you can imagine the consequences. And what we have to do is to take the opportunity to capture their positions.

While doing so might burn our looted supplies, we don't have much choice in this situation. After occupying the position, ask where the supplies are hidden as soon as possible, and then try to get back some more supplies. ”

"Hey!"

The request for bombing by the Army Air Force is more to avoid losses like today's. Compared with the mobilization of heavy troops and heavy artillery from the rear, the commander of the infantry wing felt that it was undoubtedly faster and more convenient to request the assistance of the air force.

As for the fire that might be caused by the burning of the mountain, the commander of the infantry wing did not think too much about it. Moreover, when Miura Mahei attacked during the day, it had already been discovered that the periphery of the Snow Shame Camp seemed to have built a fire isolation zone.

This shows that the defenders stationed at the top of the hill should have also considered the possibility of the Japanese army setting fire to the mountain. The barrier was also built to not allow the fire to spread and ignite the camp behind the position.

And what the commander of the infantry wing wants to guide the air force to bomb tomorrow is the hilltop positions built on the left and right sides of the camp of the Snow Shame Battalion. As long as the Japanese army can successfully take these two hilltop positions, the subsequent clearing battle will be very easy.

The commander of the infantry wing, who had fought several times with the anti-Japanese troops, knew very well that once the national army troops formed a rout, then they had only one thing to do, that is, to drive behind the anti-Japanese troops and kill all the routs who were scattered and fled.

Seeing that the wing commander took the responsibility for the failure, but still did not lose confidence, the officers who participated in the meeting were naturally grateful. Including Shinpei Miura, who lost the first battle, also secretly made up his mind that he must perform well in the battle tomorrow.

But they would never have imagined that the Snow Shame Camp, which also suffered a lot of losses today, would dare to take the initiative to launch a night attack. When Hu Biao led Xu Sandao and others to start walking out of the mountains, the battle of the night attack was officially announced.

The soldier who had just been selected into the guard platoon looked at Hu Biao, who led the ten guards platoon soldiers to leave, and said with a little puzzlement and curiosity: "Squad leader, are we waiting here?" Don't you have to go up and help? ”

"No, you don't! Stay here and wait for orders. The battalion commander and the platoon commander used to reconnoiter the enemy. Before the battle starts, you can't alarm the little devils in the open field ahead. Otherwise, tonight's raid battle will be very difficult to fight! ”

"Squad leader, battalion commander, are they planning to shoot the little devil with a bow and arrow?"

"It should be! Okay, although the battalion commander told you to ask more, but when you are fighting, I hope you can watch and think more. If you have any questions, I'll talk about them when the battle is over. At this time, squint for a while.

Joining the guard platoon is an honor and a responsibility, and I would like to remind you that you must learn to make the most of all your time to rest. As the sharp knife of the whole battalion, the guard platoon has to fight continuously many times, and there is not much time for you to rest.

The more times like this, the more you have to learn to look for opportunities to squint for a while, and wait for the next battle to have the spirit. I know it's going to be hard for you to do that for a while. But you have to try to find the feeling slowly, and after a long time you will learn. ”

"Yes, squad leader!"

The new soldiers assigned to Qin Tianyou, Chen Qiang and others also knew that these two squad leaders were Hu Biao's henchmen. In general, although Hu Biao is the commander of the Snow Shame Battalion, he is dealing with the guard platoon more often.

The four combat platoons that fought with the guard platoon in the afternoon were very excited after returning to the camp. In their opinion, the fighters of the guard platoon are really powerful, and they are better than them in both marksmanship and combat ability.

In the army, the strong themselves are respected. It is naturally an honor to have the honor to fight side by side with these strong people. Knowing that they had been selected and transferred to the guard platoon, the fifteen new soldiers cherished this rare opportunity.

As the commander and instructor of the guard platoon, if there are old soldiers who sacrifice, there will naturally be new soldiers to join. And what Hu Biao has to do is to keep as many veterans as possible, so that the guard platoon can truly become an invincible knife in his hands.

If you want to build such a force and sharp knife, you must go through countless bloody battles to sharpen it. Veterans who can survive all the time will inevitably become stronger and stronger in combat strength and experience. And when new fighters join, they can also play the role of 'passing on the help'.

If Hu Biao has to teach everything personally, I'm afraid that Hu Biao won't have so much time. Only by first bringing out a group of backbones, and then with the help of the exemplary role of the backbones, let the new soldiers enter the state as soon as possible and become the new sharp knives of the guard platoon.

Looking at the Japanese troops stationed in the open area, placing the patrol post a mile away, Hu Biao was also very surprised: "It seems that the little devil is really confident, I think that in this kind of open area, no one dares to attack their camp!" ”

"Battalion commander, in fact, the little devil is also very vigilant, when I led the team to reconnoiter earlier, I saw that machine gun positions were built around the little devil's camp, and even hidden trenches were dug. If you go straight in, you may really suffer.

In addition, you see, the location of the campsite chosen by the little devil is obviously higher than the surrounding area. Coupled with the fact that there is a small river next to it, they don't have to worry about us cutting off the water at all. Attacking in this kind of terrain is not much different from committing suicide. ”

"Is there a creek leading to the edge of the camp? Is there a whistle near the creek? ”

"I don't know! Earlier, when we reconnoitred, we only walked around the camp, and the water level of the small river was not shallow, which was not suitable for an attack. Of course, if there is a real fight, it is estimated that it is impossible for the little devil to break through from the river. ”

"So to speak! The little devil chose a place surrounded by water on one side and mountains on three sides. Let's go to the river first, I want to know if that small river is really not suitable for breaking through. Otherwise, wait for the little devil to cross the river and break through, and we will be blind! ”

"Yes! Battalion commander, go this way! ”

Under the guidance of Xu Sandao, the group quickly touched the place where the river was. By the light of the moon, Hu Biao deliberately found tools to test it. Found in the middle of the river, the water depth is mostly about two meters.

This means that if there are no boats to cross the river, you can only swim through the river if you want to break through the river. The only thing that's a bit of a pity is that the river isn't wide. If you know how to swim, you can swim across the river in a few minutes.

Of course, in this kind of weather condition, the river is very cold, and there is silt on the riverside, so it is also very likely that you will drown if you want to break through the river in a panic. After personally seeing the terrain here, Hu Biao had a rough plan in his heart.

Returning to the position facing the little devil barracks, Hu Biao grabbed a handful of dry soil from the ground and threw it to test the direction of the wind tonight. To use special ammunition to attack the battalion, Hu Biao had to consider the direction of the wind.

With the help of the wind direction, the mustard seed gas sprayed by the special projectile was further spread to the entire little devil barracks. And what Hu Biao has to do is to put it in his pocket at the upwind outlet and wait for the little devil to take the initiative to send it to the door.

As for headwinds, even if troops are sent to tie up their pockets, they must take precautions. Otherwise, the little devil didn't ambush him, but inhaled the mustard gas blown by the night wind, which would really be called lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot!
