Linhuai Pass, south bank of the Huai River.

Because the little devils focused all their attention on the front, they didn't realize at all that the small force of the Friendship Branch, which was about a hundred people, had actually been lurking behind them for the past two days.

And today, this small force is lurking less than five miles away from them.

This unit was none other than a new reconnaissance company led by Ma Zhuan.

The reason why they have been hiding behind the little devil is to closely watch the little devil's every move.

Listening to the bursts of gunfire coming from the direction of the Huai River, the brothers of the reconnaissance company were all holding back the fire in their stomachs, and they really wanted to rush up and smash the little devil's lair.

"Company commander, how long do we have to wait?"

Yu Xiaoxiao touched the side of the company commander lying behind a bunker, and asked in a somewhat eager tone.

"Wait!"

Ma Zhu frowned slightly, and after a moment of groaning, he slowly answered.

In fact, he didn't want to launch an attack on the little devil's lair, but he didn't get the order of the group, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

"Hey! All right! ”

Yu Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly, and could only suppress the anger in her heart.

"Company commander, the regimental seat is in an emergency!"

At this moment, a brother in charge of communications suddenly hurriedly touched the side of the hemp pole and shouted in a low voice.

"Read!"

"Yes!"

The brother in charge of communications replied, and then began to read the contents of the message in his hand.

After listening to the contents of the telegram, the spirits of several nearby reconnaissance company brothers, including the company commander's hemp pole, were all lifted.

"Brothers, copy guys, get ready to fight!"

"Yes!"

With the order of the company commander Ma Zhu, the brothers of the reconnaissance company immediately divided into two roads according to the original plan, one was led by the company commander Ma Zhu himself, and the other road was led by a platoon commander Yu Xiaoxiao, and quickly and very carefully continued to touch the little devil's position.

Because the little devils sent all the little devil troops except the logistics baggage troops, the wounded, and the little devil troops of the artillery wing to the front line, the little devil position at this moment can be said to be extremely empty.

And at this moment they were all focused on the frontal battlefield ahead, and they did not expect that the enemy would dare to sneak around at this time, because they had not been discovered until the reconnaissance company was less than two miles away from their rear.

Ma Zhu and half of the brothers of the reconnaissance company rushed to a high ground less than two miles behind the little devil and stopped, but did not dare to continue forward, because he knew that if he went further, he would most likely be discovered by the little devil.

And if they are discovered by the little devils, then their little people are not enough for the little devils to stuff their teeth.

Their real purpose is to contain the little devils, attract the firepower of the little devils, and help the friendly troops on the north bank of the Huai River to reduce the pressure, not to eliminate how many little devils.

With their little strength, they can't destroy too many little devils at all.

Like the bombing of the camp that night, it is almost an irreproducible miracle.

Especially since it is daytime at this moment, it is impossible to bomb the camp again.

"Stay on guard!"

"You guys, take care of the enemy!"

"You guys, hurry up and plant mines on the road ahead!"

"A few of you, hurry up and build a fort and aim at the little devil artillery position!"

As soon as the leader of the crowd stopped advancing, the hemp pole raised his eyes and looked around, and then a series of orders came out of his mouth quickly.

"Yes!"

After the brothers of the reconnaissance company responded, they went to their respective duties and got busy quickly.

A dozen or so brothers spread out in all directions, taking charge of the guard.

A dozen or so brothers, armed with tools in hand, went to dig holes and bury mines on the road ahead.

There are also a dozen or so brothers who carry crooked light machine guns and two heavy machine guns that are full of bullets, looking for suitable positions to block the enemy's attack and build machine gun positions.

The rest of the brothers began to busily assemble and build the turret.

These are two howitzers of 85 mm caliber.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, the fort was quickly built.

Then he began to turn the muzzle of the gun to aim, picked up the shell and stuffed it into the chamber.

This set of processes, everyone seems to have practiced many times, and sitting up at the moment is smooth and smooth in one go.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Two orange-yellow howitzer shells, just stuffed into the barrels, and then carried a blazing tail flame, after drawing a graceful arc in the sky, flew straight towards the position of the 9th Division of the Little Devil and the 9th Wing of the Mountain Artillery.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Two howitzer shells landed very accurately on the position of the 9th Wing of the Mountain Artillery and exploded.

The power generated by the explosion of the shells instantly lifted dozens of little devil artillerymen into the air, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead, and two of them were blown up in pieces, and their parts were scattered all over the place.

"Baga Ya Road! What's going on? ”

Wing Captain Serikawa Xiu, who was supervising the battle in the rear, was directly stunned when he saw this scene, and it took a long time to react, and then shouted angrily at his subordinates standing beside him.

"Your Excellency Wing Commander......"

A few little devils, you look at me, I look at you, and I can't figure out what this is going on for a while.

Their artillery position was to prevent it from being bombed by the enemy, so it was set up behind the position, a position that would not be discovered by the enemy on the other side of the Huai River.

However, at this moment, the shells still landed accurately on their positions, and they were naturally very confused.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Not long after, two shells again fell on the position of the 9th Wing of the Artillery of Little Devil Mountain.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, this cannonball seems to have come from our rear."

"Baga Ya Road! Are you blind to me? ”

Serikawa Shu glared at this subordinate angrily and shouted angrily.

His men found out at this moment that the shells were coming from the rear, and he naturally found out as well.

"Quickly report to His Excellency the General, saying that we have been attacked by the enemy, and the enemy's is in our rear!"

"Hay!"

A little devil Shaozo didn't dare to be careless, nodded his head, and then started to call.

On the other side, Yu Xiaoxiao also took more than 50 brothers from the reconnaissance company to the rear of the artillery position of the Third Division and began to launch a sneak attack on it.

All of a sudden, the little devils of the artillery wing of the 3rd Division were also completely confused.

has been shelling others, but at this moment it is being bombarded by the enemy.

At the same time, the little devils of the artillery wing of the 3rd Division were also extremely angry.

Soon, they also discovered that the enemy who attacked them was not the enemy on the other side of the Huai River, but hiding behind them to attack them.

After understanding this, the captain of the little devil wing did not dare to be careless in the slightest while breaking out in a cold sweat, and even walked towards the communications department in person, preparing to report the situation to the division commander Fujita Jin.
