After advancing to the town of Oping at the foot of the Qingniu Ridge, the Kumamoto Division no longer advanced forward, but was stationed on the spot. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition, the Kumamoto Division learned the lessons of the Iida detachment and did not concentrate its garrison, except for the division headquarters and the directly subordinate wings stationed in Daping Town and the periphery, the four infantry wings were even more camped separately along the mountain terrain of Qingniuling as a brigade, and more than a dozen barracks were built at the western foot of Qingniuling.

Even if it is stationed separately, it is easier to be infiltrated and attacked by the wolf's fangs, and Okabe Naosaburo does not hesitate, because although the centralized garrison can avoid the attack of the wolf's teeth, it will be bombarded by the group of unconscionable cannons, and in case the Meishan Independent Regiment is transferred over a few hundred unconscionable cannons again, the Kumamoto Division will become the second in the Iida detachment!

For the first two days, the Kumamoto Division focused only on building fortifications, preferring to be shrunken turtles.

Okabe Naosaburo, the old devil's brain, is still very clear, and he knows very well that the current combat mission of the Kumamoto Division is not to drive straight into Dameishan and swallow the Dameishan Independent Regiment in one bite, but to advance to the western foot of Dameishan Mountain, and then set fire to the mountain, and wait until all the primeval forests of Dameishan are burned out, and then attack.

Only in this way can the threat of wolf fangs be minimized.

Therefore, after advancing to the bottom of Qingniu Ridge, the Kumamoto Division no longer advanced, but began to focus on building fortifications to prevent the counterattack of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, and it was not until the initial completion of the fortifications that a small force was sent to try to set fire to the mountain, but the arson operation did not go smoothly because of the strong sniping of wolf fangs.

Because from the station of the Kumamoto Division to the middle of the Qingniu Ridge, there is also a hilly area.

The width of this hilly area is about five to ten miles, and only by crossing this hill can it reach the foot of the Qingniuling mountain to set fire, but the wolf's tooth is entrenched in this hilly area, and the arson troops sent by the Kumamoto division must break through the blockade of the wolf's tooth if they want to reach the bottom of the Qingniuling and set fire to the mountain.

In the beginning, the strategy adopted by the Kumamoto Division was to send many small units to infiltrate.

However, in only half a day, Okabe Naosaburo found that this strategy did not work, because the small force could not penetrate the blockade of the wolf's tooth at all, no matter how many small troops you sent, in the end there was no return, so Okabe Naosaburo decisively changed the strategy, sent a large force to the deep mountains to set fires, sent a large army to set fires, and there were fewer arson points, but it was safe.

At this moment, Xu Rui took the little peach, the flower girl and the plague dog to ambush on a small mountain.

Little Pink is the leader of the third sniper team, and Hua Niu and Plague Dog are members of the third sniper team.

The more than 50 members of the Wolf Tooth Clan, now divided into more than a dozen combat groups, are distributed in the hilly area between Daping Town and Qingniuling, specializing in sniping the devil's arson troops.

In the morning, Xu Rui's team had already sniped two devil teams.

At this time, Xiao Taohong was fiddling with her radio station, Hua Niu was doing it, Xu Rui was closing her eyes to recuperate, and only the plague dog climbed to a big tree and looked forward through the gap in the leaves.

It was noon, the sun rose to mid-sky, the sun was warm in the forest, and there was no wind, Xu Rui lay on a pile of soft pine needles, and fell asleep in a daze.

Xu Rui was sleeping soundly, and suddenly heard someone calling him softly.

Then the shouting became clear, the person also regained consciousness, and when he opened his eyes, Xu Rui saw that Xiao Taohong was in front of him, shaking him gently, while shouting: "Uncle, uncle?" ”

Xu Rui groaned, sat up and asked, "Little Peach, what's wrong?" ”

Xiao Taohong said: "The political commissar called, saying that Luo Zhongyi, the chief of staff of the Soviet-Chinese Military Region, had set off with a special task force to our military subdivision, and he would be able to rush to Meixian by tomorrow evening at the latest." ”

"Really?" Xu Rui was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Now I'm relieved." ”

Seeing that Xu Rui was happy, Xiao Taohong also rejoiced, and said diligently: "Uncle, you don't have to worry about it now, with the special service group of the Soviet-Chinese Military Region, Meixian will be safe." ”

"Well, it's safe." Xu Rui nodded and said, "Now, we can let go of our hands and feet and play with the Kumamoto Division." ”

As soon as Xu Rui's words fell, a thumb-sized pine cone suddenly fell from a height and landed in the grass in front of Xu Rui, making a soft pop, when Xu Rui and Xiao Taohong looked up, they saw the plague dog crawling on the treetops to sentry, and played a series of tactical sign language below: There is a devil coming, at least one infantry brigade!

"At least a brigade?" Xu Rui's heart moved slightly, and said, "It seems that the little devil has learned to be obedient, and no longer sends a small group of troops to send him to death, but instead sends a large force to set fire, but if the old devil Okabe Naosaburo thinks that he can break through the blockade of the wolf's teeth in this way, it is too naïve to go to the Qingniu Ridge and set fire." ”

After speaking, Xu Rui shouted in a low voice: "Prepare to fight!" ”

On the opposite side came the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 13th Infantry Wing, led by Wing Commander Hidemitsu Nakano himself.

Nakano Hidemitsu, the old devil, is also unlucky enough, in Erguniangpo, he failed to achieve any decent results, but it was Sano Torata's 23rd Infantry Wing that occupied Shan County, which made Nakano Hidemitsu, who thought highly of himself, feel that his face was gloomy, because the 13th Infantry Wing was the top main force of the Kumamoto Division.

However, what annoyed Nakano even more was yet to come.

After Sano Torata's 23rd Infantry Wing occupied the county seat of Shanxian without blood, Nakano Hidemitsu immediately asked Okabe Naosaburo to fight, asking to be the pioneer of the division.

However, the reality is very cruel.

When the 13th Infantry Regiment advanced to the vicinity of Daping Town, the 1st Infantry Brigade of the subordinate infantry was too aggressive and opened the distance between it and the main force of the Wing, and as a result, the Dameishan Independent Regiment seized the opportunity to fight a battle of annihilation.

Because of this, Hidemitsu Nakano was scolded by Naosaburo Okabe.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the Kumamoto Division brought two supplementary wings to the expedition this time, so the losses of the 13th Infantry Wing were quickly replenished, but Nakano Hidemitsu's honor would not recover so quickly, so Nakano Hidemitsu was holding back his strength and wanted to show himself in the next arson operation.

Seeing that he was about to enter the hilly area with wolf teeth in ambush, Hinata Zhidaka, the captain of the second infantry brigade, handed over the saber he was wearing to his adjutant, and the coat, boots, and military rank were changed before the battle, which was also an effective tactic summed up by the Japanese army under the obscenity of the wolf teeth.

It is really because the marksmanship of the wolf's tooth is too terrible, as soon as you enter the mountainous area, wearing a tweed coat, long riding boots, wearing a ribbon saber around your waist, collar badges, epaulette and carrying the rank of lieutenant or even adjutant, it is easy to become the prey of the wolf's fang.

Therefore, in order to protect the officers more effectively, Okabe Naosaburo issued an order that before entering the mountain, all officers must change into ordinary equipment, not to wear tweed coats, not to wear long riding boots, not to wear ribbon sabers, and even not to carry southern-style pistols, but must carry a 38 big cover like ordinary soldiers.

Hinata Shidaka's saber was given by Hirohito, this little devil was reluctant to put it in the barracks, so he brought it privately, but seeing that he was going to fight with the wolf's fang, this little devil didn't dare to bring his own saber anymore, and gave the saber to the adjutant, he didn't want to become the first target of the wolf's tooth because of this knife.

It must be admitted that this order of Naosaburo Okabe is still very effective.

Because in the past two days, the officer casualty rate of the Kumamoto Division has dropped significantly.

Hinata Shitaka handed the saber to his lieutenant, then walked a few quick steps to follow Nakano Hidemitsu, and whispered, "Captain, you are about to enter the ambush area of the wolf's tooth not far ahead." ”

Nakano Hidemitsu snorted and said, "Order the forward squad and be vigilant." ”

However, as soon as the words fell, a sudden gunfire sounded from the "horn" on the mountain beam in front, and the next moment, the gunfire immediately rang out, and Nakano Hidemitsu and Hinata Shitaka looked fixedly, only to see more than 50 officers and men of the forward squad lying on their stomachs or squatting, and firing fiercely at the mountain beam in front of them, and the dense rain of bullets hit the dead grass and trees on the mountain.

However, there was no one on the opposite hill beam, and the Dare Striker team was simply shooting indiscriminately.

However, just when Nakano Hidemitsu was about to order a ceasefire, the officers and soldiers of the forward squad fell down one after another, and in less than half a cup of tea before and after, more than a dozen officers and soldiers had already fallen in a pool of blood, and looking at their motionless appearance after falling to the ground, it was obviously more than lucky, yes, there was almost no living mouth left under the wolf's tooth gun!

Yaga, Nakano Hidemitsu cursed, and said angrily: "Where are these damn wolf fangs hiding? ”

"It should be on top of the mountain beam in front of us." Hinata Shitaka said with certainty, "The reason why the forward team aimed at the mountain beam in front of them should be that they judged the approximate direction from the characteristics of the impact point, but the wolf teeth used rifles equipped with pins, so they couldn't judge the exact direction." ”

"Yagayalu." Nakano Hidemitsu said angrily, "The wolf's teeth are already difficult enough, plus a rifle with a pin, how can this battle be fought?" With a muffled snort, Nakano Hidemitsu continued, "Hinata Shisan, you take an infantry squadron to quietly outflank you from behind, you must find these wolf fangs, and then kill them!" ”

"Hello." Hinata shitaka paused and turned to go. (To be continued.) )
