Chapter 394: An Encounter in the Mist

In the early morning of the 19th, Kunlun Pass, a strategic place since ancient times, burst into flames, shouts of killing shook the sky, and the attack battle near Kunlun Pass of the Fifth Army officially began.

The Fifth Army first bombarded Kunlun Pass with artillery, and then attacked by the Honorable First Division, and before entering Guinan, the Fifth Army was reinforced by three artillery battalions, one of which was 150 mm heavy artillery, and the other two were 75 caliber mountain artillery battalions and 75 caliber field artillery battalions.

These artillery pieces became a powerful cover fire for the Fifth Army. The 150-millimeter heavy howitzers, the 75-millimeter Bofors mountain guns, and the 75-millimeter Type 38 field artillery took turns bombarding the various heights of the Japanese Kunlun Pass defenders.

Before dawn, the vicinity of Kunlun Pass was blown up as if it were daylight, which was a rare overwhelming superiority of the national army over the Japanese army in terms of firepower.

The infantry of the 1st Rong Division, after the artillery fire stopped, launched a fierce attack on the strongholds of Luotang, 441.603.653. and other highlands.

And all this has nothing to do with the new 22nd Division, Zhang Wei and his teaching brigade, after the attack of the 1st Division of Honor began, the new 22nd Division, which reinforced a mountain artillery company, began to detour back to the area south of Kunlun Pass, cut off the rear road of the Japanese army at Kunlun Pass, and searched and advanced along the Nanbin Highway.

The three main regiments of the New 22nd Division, except for the divisional supplementary regiment, were lined up along the Nanbin Highway, looking like a long snake formation, and under the personal command of Qiu Maniac, they searched and advanced forward, and the tactical purpose was to cut off the rear road of the Japanese army.

Attacking Batang, Wutang, Jiutang and other places, Zhang Wei's teaching brigade was at the forefront and became the pioneer of the whole division.

On the Nanbin Highway in the early morning, there is silence, the fog has not completely dispersed, only the sound of artillery from the direction of Kunlun Pass can be heard, Zhang Wei walked on the road, surrounded by the soldiers of the teaching brigade, under Zhang Wei's arrangement, the three infantry squadrons formed a triangular formation, the first squadron was in the front, the second and third squadrons were in the rear, the fire squadron and the engineer platoon, the baggage platoon in the light state was sandwiched in the middle, the whole brigade and the 65th regiment behind opened seven or eight miles, the forward dispersed the stragglers, and searched and advanced.

"Is there any news from behind?" Zhang Wei put down the telescope in his hand, and after confirming that there was no situation, he asked the telegraph soldier beside him.

"Report sir, no." In order to facilitate contact, madman Qiu temporarily assigned a wireless telegraph and two telegraph operators to the teaching brigade to keep in touch with the 65 th Regiment behind him at any time, and also to contact the division headquarters when necessary.

According to the current configuration of the national army, battalion-level units do not set up separate wired and wireless communication equipment, but are helped by higher-level and regimental-level units to set up communications settings.

There was no regiment above the teaching brigade, so Qiu Maniacs had no choice but to temporarily allocate a telegraph to Zhang Wei to strengthen his communication capabilities.

On the roads around them, as well as in the fields on both sides of the road, the soldiers of the first squadron carried out according to the way of searching and advancing, and after several hours of marching, no Japanese troops were still found, so Zhang Wei continued to lead people forward, and after the Kunlun Pass was fired, the teaching brigade has not fired a single shot so far.

But Zhang Wei never dared to take it lightly, once the Japanese army came to reinforce, the scale would never be small, and it would inevitably be a fierce battle.

"Alright, keep in touch, Signal Corps! Let Squadron Leader Qiu step up the search! Zhang Wei said to his signal soldier.

Putting away the binoculars, Zhang Wei clenched the machine gun that straddled diagonally, and rushed forward quickly with the telegraph soldiers.

The forward search unit is Qiu Wei's first squadron, and the brigade has a forward squadron, a forward platoon, a forward squad, a squad, and a forward team.

The first infantry squadron is a platoon and a squad, which is this forward squad, the first squad sergeant deputy squad leader Yang Ming, the second class private Zhao Lisan, and the first class private Zhang Hai, the three of them are a rifle combat group in a platoon and a squad, equipped with three Zhongzheng rifles.

Among the three, Yang Ming and Zhang Hai are both veterans with combat experience, and their military ranks are sergeant and private respectively, which is also the privilege of the assault group, and veterans are given priority.

These three people are also the strikers of their class, the distance between the striker squad is not close, the main purpose is to give early warning, the three of them in a standard triangular formation on tactical training, advancing on the Nanbin Highway.

What is more shrewd is that these three people did not walk along the road alone in a stupid manner, but walked beside the road under the leadership of Yang Ming, the deputy squad leader of the sergeant, reducing the chance of being discovered.

The longitudinal section of the highway is roughly similar to a trapezoid, and the current highway is not like the big road with green belt before Zhang Wei came to the year, the main road trunk is higher than the two sides, and both sides are full of untrimmed mud and dirt.

"Deputy squad leader, why let a few of us go ahead, isn't this harmful?" Private Zhao Lisan held the Zhongzheng rifle and said reluctantly, revealing both a small dissatisfaction and a carelessness.

"Less." With the sound of a rifle butt smashing things, before the deputy squad leader Yang Ming could speak, the first-class soldier Zhang Hai gave Zhao Lisan a rifle butt, and Zhao Lisan was a recruit who taught the brigade to go to Hunan Huhou to replenish the recruits, who was originally a peddler and was arrested.

Compared with those captured peasant soldiers, there are a lot of goblins and goblins.

I didn't want to complain at this juncture, the soldiers with a lot of are the most annoying, let alone complaining at this time, as soon as Zhao Lisan's was finished, the butt of the gun smashed on him.

Yang Ming, the deputy squad leader, didn't make a move, but said in a low voice: "Give me a snack!" The vanguard is done in turns, and if you report to others today, someone will protect you tomorrow with their lives. ”

The three of them slowly searched forward along the side of the road, and there was still scattered fog on the Nanbin Highway, so whether it was Zhang Wei in the back, the main force of the brigade, and the forward Wu, they were all very careful.

"Wait! There's movement! Private Zhang Hai noticed that something was wrong and stopped.

"Over there! On the road! Zhang Hai lip-synched. The three of them immediately lay down, Zhang Hai pointed in the direction of the road, he just heard some sounds coming from the road.

Yang Ming, the deputy squad leader, didn't dare to slack off, waved his hand, and took the other two people to climb up the slope on the side of the road, the three of them were cautious, not daring to make extra sounds, the Zhongzheng rifle was held in his hand, and the kettle or something was tied up early.

In order to reduce the noise, the three of them grabbed the dirt with their hands and moved inch by inch towards the slope.

Deputy squad leader Yang Ming climbed to the front and went up the slope, he kicked Zhang Hai lightly with his foot, Zhang Hai understood that this was more meaningful for him to stop acting, so he dragged Private Zhao Lisan to stop and guard on the slope.

Private Zhao Lisan, who was complaining just now, was frightened at this time, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

Now there was a mist on the road, and Yang Ming, the deputy squad leader, raised his head inch by inch at an extremely full and extremely careful speed, revealing the side of the road.

He was greeted by four Japanese soldiers, with a rare figure in front of them.

These Japanese soldiers were also lightly armed, with tight armed belts on their bodies, and Yang Ming judged from his own experience that this group of people was the same as them, the vanguard of the search.

"Gurgle" Yang Ming was shocked, there were four in front of him, and there were people in front of and behind these four ghost soldiers, indicating that the three of them were probably staggered by a certain distance from the Japanese army on the main road.

That is, the vanguard of the Japanese army, now behind them!
