Chapter 827: Reconnaissance in front of the enemy
Let's talk about Xu Rui later. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The order to order the garrison regiment and the third regiment to come to Guanxian to assemble has been issued, but Guanxian is more than 100 miles away from Shanxian County, and more than 200 miles away from Puxian, and when the garrison regiment and the third regiment arrive, it will have to be after dawn tomorrow, so Xu Rui decided to personally go to Huangnipu Town tonight to reconnoiter the enemy's situation.
It's just reconnaissance, and there is no need to carry out special operations, so Xu Rui only brought the Diamond Mountain Leopard alone.
Before this, the wolf tooth divided the troops into three routes, and one of them was led by Zuanshan Leopard, Leng Tiefeng, and Xu Rui, respectively, to Huainan, Feicheng, and Nanjing to carry out sabotage operations, of which Xu Rui had the greatest results.
The one with the smallest result was Leng Tiefeng, who almost returned in vain.
The results of the Drill Mountain Leopard are slightly larger than Leng Tiefeng, and there are as many as four arsenals of the Huainan Devils, and the Wolf Tooth Squad of the Drill Mountain Leopards blew up one of them, but when they wanted to blow up the other three, the Devils suddenly strengthened the security of the arsenal, and finally failed to succeed.
Then the Zuanshan Leopard received Xu Rui's order and rushed to Guanxian to assemble.
Under the cover of night, the two easily touched the periphery of the Huang Nipu stronghold, but when they were still ten miles away from the Huang Nipu, Xu Rui found a guard post of the little devil.
At this time, the yellow mud shop has become a large barracks, the yellow mud shop was originally a devil's stronghold, after the Iida detachment was stationed, two lines of defense were built on the periphery, and the guard post was placed ten miles away, the guard was not strict, and the Iida detachment obviously did not dare to have a trace of carelessness.
"Commander, it seems that the little devil has scared us." The Diamond Mountain Leopard smiled, with a smug look on his face, and said, "In order to prevent our sneak attack, the guard post was actually placed so far away, but isn't this to deliver food to us?" ”
The guard post is also the latent post, which is different from the usual open posts and patrol posts, and generally does not change the guard, and will only be quietly withdrawn until dawn the next day, and when the post is set up again the next night, it will definitely not be in the same place, so Xu Rui and the Drill Mountain Leopard can hunt the guard post of the little devil without any scruples, without worrying about exposure.
At that moment, Xu Rui gave the Diamond Mountain Leopard a look, and then the two separated one after the other, and quietly touched the guard post in front.
There are two ghost soldiers on the guard post, hiding in fact very hidden, the two are hiding in the middle of a cluster of bushes, and they are covered with camouflage, plus it is now at night, and ordinary people can't find it at all, but unfortunately, Xu Rui is not an ordinary person, but a second-class person.
For Xu Rui, the darkness of the night is not only not an obstacle, but an excellent cover.
Under the cover of night, Xu Rui and the Diamond Mountain Leopard quietly approached the bushes, and when they were two meters away, Xu Rui and the Diamond Mountain Leopard jumped up at the same time, holding sharp blades and pounced on one of the devil soldiers, and the devil sentry hiding in the bushes was caught off guard, and was assassinated by the two on the spot in an instant.
Pity the two devils, they didn't even have time to let out a scream.
Easily dismantled the devil's guard post, and the two continued to infiltrate under the cover of night.
After walking about three or four miles forward, he had to stop temporarily, because when he arrived here, the little devil was no longer a guard post, but a clear post plus a patrol, tightly fortified, but because the outer defense line was too large and the Iida detachment was insufficient, it was only to guard the key passes, so Xu Rui and Zuanshan Leopard easily found a gap between the two intersections and quietly infiltrated it.
The outer defense line in front is basically only used for early warning, and it is of little value, but from this time on, it is necessary to start recording the defense deployment of the little devils.
At that moment, the two of them went deeper, and at the same time began to record the devil's fortifications and firepower points along the way.
Along the way, Xu Rui was responsible for reconnaissance, and the leopard was responsible for marking the results of Xu Rui's reconnaissance one by one on the map that had been separated by regions.
"Area 1, there is a bunker for devils."
"In area two, there is a heavy machine gun position for devils."
"There's a small high ground in area three with an artillery emplacement."
"There is a small wooden bridge in Area 7, and nearby devils can only cross the river through the wooden bridge."
"There's a barracks in Area Eleven, and there's a ...... An infantry squadron! ”
"There is an artillery tower in the eighteenth area, note it, there may be anti-aircraft guns."
The two infiltrated all the way forward, reconnoitred all the way, and the leopard made a mark on the map while drilling the mountain leopard.
After walking about 2,000 meters, he has already penetrated into the core area of the Huangnipu stronghold.
The two had to stop again, because the security in the core area was much tighter than the perimeter, and the devils not only dug a trench three meters wide and more than two meters deep outside the barracks, but also pulled up a high-speed iron wire mesh with more than one person on the inner edge of the trench.
There are also a lot of empty iron cans hung on the barbed wire, don't underestimate these empty iron cans, although this early warning device is simple, the cost is also very low, but it has a good early warning function, even the special forces, to silently eliminate these empty iron cans is also very difficult.
Xu Rui and the Diamond Mountain Leopard shrank into a shadow, and they no longer dared to move forward easily.
The leopard looked forward and whispered: "Commander, the little devil is very guarded, it is not easy to cross this barbed wire, and it will take some effort." ”
Xu Rui shook his head coldly and whispered, "No need, let's stop here." ”
"That's it?" The Drill Mountain Leopard whispered, "Regiment Commander, the front is the core area of the Huangnipu stronghold, and it is also the biggest obstacle to this battle, because the devils have built a large number of permanent fortifications inside, if you don't first figure out the deployment of the devil's troops and firepower, you will suffer a big loss when you fight tomorrow." ”
Xu Rui said: "I said I don't need it, I don't need it, what nonsense are you talking about." ”
The Diamond Mountain Leopard didn't say anything more, because he had almost blind confidence in Xu Rui.
It's just that Xu Rui's self-confidence is not blind, because he has already calculated in his heart.
Further ahead is the core area of the Huangnipu stronghold, and the devil's defensive deployment must be tighter and stronger, but Xu Rui does not plan to storm this last core area.
Because the core area of the Huangnipu stronghold is only about 100 meters in circumference.
Xu Rui glanced at the yellow mud shop stronghold in front of him and said, "Go back!" ”
At that moment, the two quietly retreated along the same path, and from beginning to end, the devil did not notice that two wolf fangs had invaded their camp and carried out close reconnaissance in front of the enemy.
However, Xu Rui didn't know that less than ten minutes after they left the Yellow Mudshop, the gate of the Huangnipu stronghold suddenly opened, and then six side three-wheeled motorcycles and two trucks slowly drove out surrounded by an armored car, and behind the two trucks, there was at least one squadron of devil infantry running to follow.
It's the middle of the night, is the little devil going out to fight?
No, this is the head of the Iida detachment, Shojiro Iida, who went out in person, and the patrol came.
is the shadow of the so-called famous tree, the current Xu Rui is definitely notorious, in the face of a cunning and murderous opponent like Xu Rui, no Japanese commander dares to be careless!
Iida Shojiro has always been cautious, but he is even more like walking on thin ice, not daring to have the slightest negligence.
It is precisely because Iida Shojiro was too cautious that he decided to garrison the Huangnipu stronghold on the spot, instead of retracting to the starting point like the Kumamoto Division, because Iida Shojiro found that the defensive facilities of the Huangnipu stronghold were even more complete and stronger than the military camp in Bengbu.
Moreover, Iida Shojiro was also worried that if there was any omission on the way back of the troops, the wolf fang seized the opportunity to fight a cold attack, and then lost some ammunition and materials, it would be a bit more than worth the loss.
Anyway, in a few days, I will have to go south to Dabie Mountain, and I can walk dozens of miles less.
Iida Shojiro didn't know that his decision brought disaster to the Iida detachment.
However, Iida Shojiro is still very cautious, after the garrison of the Yellow Mud, Iida Shojiro not only strengthened the defense of the Yellow Mudshop stronghold, but also put the guard post ten miles away, in case the Dameishan Independent Regiment came to sneak attack, even so, this old devil is still a little uneasy, this is not the middle of the night and ran out to patrol the sentry.
Surrounded by an infantry squadron and a motorcycle infantry squad, Shojiro Iida left the main pillbox of the Yellow Soil Shop stronghold and headed for the outskirts of the outskirts.
Compared with Iida Shojiro's walking on thin ice, Chief of Staff Kotaro Okamura was a little unimpressed.
Okamura Kotaro is young and vigorous, belongs to a typical young Zhuang faction, and has just been transferred from the Kwantung Army, and his impression of Xu Rui and the Dameishan Independent Regiment is not very deep, which is also the inferior nature of people, for people and things that have not been seen with their own eyes and have not been taught in person, they will always instinctively doubt, disdain, and even contempt.
Kotaro Okamura paused and said, "Detachment leader, isn't it just a patrol post, just go to the headquarters, you better stay at the headquarters and rest." ”
Iida Shojiro waved his hand and said worriedly: "Okamura-san, you don't know, even if I stay in the headquarters, I won't be able to sleep, so it's better to go out on patrol with you." ”
Kotaro Okamura frowned and said, "Detachment leader, please forgive me for being blunt, you seem to have overestimated our opponents, how powerful can the Zhina Army be?" ”
"Okamura-san, you're wrong." Iida Shojiro waved his hand and said, "Other Chinese armies may not be worth mentioning, but Xu Rui's Dameishan Independent Regiment is definitely a tiger and wolf army, and it is definitely the life-and-death enemy of the Great Japanese Imperial Army. ”
Kotaro Okamura was quite unimpressed, but for the sake of Iida Shojiro's face, he didn't say anything after all, but in his heart he thought, after the sweep begins, I want to see how difficult this Dameishan Independent Regiment is? And that Xu Rui, how difficult is it? (To be continued.) )
