Finally, when the Spring Festival arrived, although there were no big fish and meat, the rice was still full, and the soldiers were still very happy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Fei and the commanders of the various units did not have a dinner, and everyone was still preparing for war as usual on Chinese New Year's Eve.

In the past few days, there has been no news of the old steamed buns, which makes Chen Fei very worried, and he doesn't know how the old steamed buns arranged for the brothers in Shanghai.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, the weapons and equipment allocated to the Independent Brigade arrived, and a large number of guns and ammunition made Chen Fei more confident, but there were still very few heavy weapons, and there were no mortars, which made the old guns of the artillery company very depressed.

There were only three imitation Makqin, ten light machine guns, and the Bison's heavy machine gun company was raised to the same configuration.

What made Chen Fei happy this time was that there were a lot of bullets and grenades, at least the bullets and grenades that the individual soldiers were equipped with.

For several days, Chen Fei trained in the mountains with Zhao Dadao's spy company, Chen Fei thought that he was as tired as a dog in Changxing Mountain, and thought that there was still a big difference between fighting in the mountains and the plains, and many battles had to be experienced and understood by oneself in order to achieve victory from the battle.

On this day, Chen Fei was still counting some imitation Thomson submachine gun bullets and imitation German grenades sent by He Wenjuan, although they were all imitations, the grenades were still easy to use, but the bullets could not be used, they were all Sichuan imitation 7.63 mm, which could only be used on box guns, which made Chen Fei very depressed, because his Thomson submachine gun used 11.25 mm.

He Wenjuan didn't understand these either, as long as it was Thomson's bullet, he would send it.

Chen Fei was in a daze, about to send bullets and grenades, "Report, the Military Commission sent an urgent telegram, asking our brigade to support Fushan as soon as possible." Liu Xiaomei came in and said.

"What's the situation? Hurry up again, you send a telegram to He Wenjuan, and Colonel He Wenbing, ask about the situation, I know. Chen Fei said to Liu Xiaomei.

"Yes!" Liu Xiaomei went back.

"Ding San, Ding San, call the chief of staff." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Ding San replied and immediately went to call the chief of staff.

After a while the chief of staff came in.

"Chief of Staff, the Military Commission asked us to reinforce Fukuyama quickly, what do you think?" Chen Fei said.

"Fukuyama? This is the main line of defense on the periphery of Yichang, how can you call us up, isn't there a Jiang defense army? The chief of staff said.

"Yes, will there be anything going on here, I asked Liu Xiaomei to ask He Wenbing." Chen Fei said.

The chief of staff looked at the map and was silent for a while: "This is strange, the brigade commander should be cautious!" ”

"It's just that this Fushan is so big that we need to reinforce where to reinforce, and there must be a place to fill in this gap, otherwise it will not be enough for the whole brigade to fill in such a small number of people." The chief of staff said.

Chen Fei nodded.

"In this way, mobilize the troops first, and I'll see the situation." Chen Fei said.

"Okay, or is the teaching team staying?" The chief of staff said.

"Hmm." Chen Fei nodded and said.

As soon as the chief of staff was about to leave, Liu Xiaomei came in and said, "Brigade commander, Chief He Wenjuan has a telegram." ”

"So fast!" Chen Fei said strangely.

"She didn't send it." Liu Xiaomei said.

"Oh, what's the situation?" Chen Fei said.

"A wing of about 3,000 Japanese troops suddenly broke through the defense line and entered Fukuyama, and several troops on the defense line were entangled by the Japanese army, and the military commissar hoped that our brigade would wipe out this force in Fushan." Liu Xiaomei said.

Both of them were stunned, "When did this happen?" Chen Fei said.

"In the early hours of this morning, both the Jiang Defense Army and the 22nd Army asked the committee for our brigade to attack." Liu Xiaomei said.

"Oh, that makes sense." The chief of staff said.

"I still don't feel right, I'll think about it again, let's go out, Liu Xiaomei called back to the Military Commission, our brigade is understaffed and is being repaired, and it is not suitable to attack." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Liu Xiaomei called back, and both of them went out.

Chen Fei didn't want to attack, but he always felt that something was wrong with this matter, and he didn't have a clue at all.

Ten minutes later, He Wenbing called and said that it was General Chen Cheng's intention, and the chairman of the committee also agreed, so he hung up.

Chen Fei suddenly understood, damn, this is to put on small shoes for Chen Fei.

At this time, He Wenjuan also called, and the chairman agreed to attack the independent brigade.

Chen Fei couldn't shirk it anymore, and immediately ordered the commanders of the whole brigade to hold a meeting and prepare to go to Fushan to deal with the devils.

The Japanese army that entered Fukuyama was the 23rd Wing of the 6th Division, and the wing commander Yamaguchi Manmu was a veteran who started from a small soldier, and the battle was flexible and changeable, and he was extremely brave, and he was still the squadron leader when he landed from Shanghai, and now he is the captain of the Osaku Wing, which can be described as a smooth journey.

The battle in the early morning made Yamaguchi not expect to be able to break through the gap of the Chongqing army into Fushan, but now that he has entered Fushan, what to do under it makes Yamaguchi very nerve-wracking, after all, he can't rely on more than 3,000 people to attack Yichang.

Yamaguchi decided to occupy the entrance to Yichang from Fushan and held out until a large number of reinforcements arrived to cover the entry of troops into Yichang as a guarantee.

Yamaguchi believed that no Chongqing army had yet been able to break through his defensive position, and he was still very confident in his well-equipped and brutal army, and he wanted to nail it into Fukuyama like a nail, so that the Chongqing army would be like a fish bone stuck in the throat.

Yamaguchi understood the intention of the battle, and immediately contacted the division and told the headquarters of his idea.

After a while, the division sent a telegram agreeing to Yamaguchi's battle plan.

After receiving the order, the mountain pass immediately marched towards Grandma Ridge, which is a large ridge in Fushan, and by occupying Grandma Ridge, it would be possible to control the mountain road down the ridge and the surrounding area, providing cover for the Japanese army to enter Fushan, and also providing an advance base for entering Yichang.

After the Yamaguchi Wing entered Fukuyama, the Jiang Defense Army followed the attack, but they were all blocked by Yamaguchi one by one.

It's not that the Jiang Defense Army is incompetent, but the 23 Wing is really well-equipped, and its tactics and command are indeed not something that the Jiang Defense Army can block.

The Jiang Defense Army has the strength of a regiment in Granny Ridge, and has built permanent fortifications on the two main positions, which are very strong, but they did not expect that under the shelling of the devil mortars, they all abandoned their positions and fled, and it turned out that the regiment commander and chief of staff had gone to Yichang, and they did not expect that the Japanese army would attack Granny Ridge in the depths of Fushan so quickly.

When Chen Fei received the order again, the devil had already occupied Grandma Ridge and was waiting for it.

Chen Fei didn't know where Grandma Ridge was when he heard that the devil occupied Grandma Ridge, and he thought that the devil had been driven into a mountain range by the Jiang Defense Army.

Chen Fei's independent brigade arrived near Granny Ridge at three o'clock in the morning of the next day, and it was a lieutenant colonel of the Jiang Defense Army who came to meet him, who explained the situation to Chen Fei in detail and told him that there were two divisions of the Jiang Defense Army nearby that surrounded Grandma Ridge and attacked it three times, with countless casualties, but the Japanese army had no intention of retreating, that is, they were defending to the death.

Chen Fei and the chief of staff were taken aback when they heard the situation, why did the battle situation become like this, they originally wanted to fight a jungle war with the devil in this Fushan, and prepared to eliminate the devil in the movement, at least in this way Chen Fei still has an advantage, there are always more people than devils.

Now that there is such a positional war, it will be too difficult if the devil still has the advantage. The lieutenant colonel's liaison officer hoped that Chen Fei's brigade would attack immediately, but Chen Fei refused, on the grounds that he didn't know the terrain and that your two divisions couldn't attack it, so how could he attack it with one brigade.

"Chief of Staff, order the troops to rest." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" The chief of staff replied and immediately went to make arrangements.

"Ding San called the old crooked reconnaissance company, and the spy called Zhao Dadao." Chen Fei said to Ding Sandao.

After a while, the two came over to report.

"Old crooked, you start scouting immediately, touch the nearby terrain, the range is larger, if the devil breaks through the most suitable place, you have to observe it clearly, understand?" Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" The old crooked took the order and left.

"Zhao Dadao, you also take action, touch the area occupied by the devils, and see if you can find a breakthrough, Grandma Ridge is so big, there should be a flaw." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Zhao Dadao also took the order and left.

They are all old subordinates, and Chen Fei's orders can be carried out very well and clearly, which is also the combat style of the Independent Brigade.

The sky was bright, and Chen Fei saw Grandma Ridge clearly, saying that it was a ridge, but in fact, the two ridges were connected together, like an old man holding a child.

There is a blockhouse on the left and right sides of the ridge that is very strong, it should be made of reinforced concrete, and there are three trenches in front of the pillbox, which surrounds Grandma Ridge.

Chen Fei reported what he had seen to the Military Commission, and told him that it would be very difficult for the Military Commission to attack Granny Ridge, and if it was attacked, it would cause the danger of the entire annihilation of the Independent Brigade.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the military commissar sent a telegram to attack Granny Ridge at all costs, because it was an important military point.

"Damn, it's at all costs, after this battle, the whole brigade won't fight yet?" Chen Fei gritted his teeth and scolded.

When it was almost noon, the Jiang Defense Army saw that the Independent Brigade had not yet attacked, so they sent liaison officers to urge them.

"Got it, tell your commander, send some anti-war artillery, otherwise you won't be able to attack." Chen Fei said to the liaison officer.

At this time, Zhao Dadao came over and said: "Brigade commander, the terrain of this grandmother ridge is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, I looked at it all morning, I can't find a good breakthrough, if you want to attack, the terrain on the left side is slightly flattened, so that the soldiers can charge, but there are the most Japanese troops." ”

Chen Fei thought for a while and said, "Which road is not easy to walk, which mountain section is the one with less garrison of the Japanese army?" ”

"There is a section in the back, but the mountain is not wide, there are many rocks, and there are disorganized on the hillside, yes, this is okay, the mountains and rocks can cover the attack, that is, the attacking troops can have a company at most, and our company can go up from here." Zhao Dadao said.

"Well, this is a breakthrough, and we will meet later to discuss the specific plan." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Zhao Dadao retreated.

In the afternoon, the liaison officer came over again and said, "Sir, our commander said that there are really no anti-aircraft guns, and 10 mortars have been sent. ”

"Okay, let it go." Chen Fei said.

"Sir, can you tell us the specific time of the attack, we can cooperate." Liaison officer.

Chen Fei thought for a while and said, "At night, the specific attack time will be notified to you, and I will ask you to help when the time comes." ”

"Yes!" The liaison officer knew the approximate time of the attack and went back.

In the afternoon, Lao Wei came back and reported to Chen Fei the situation of the nearby mountain road. The old man said crookedly: "Brigade commander, the devil has trapped himself in Grandma Ridge, probably to hold on and fight against the water." ”

"Oh!" Chen Fei thought for a while and said: "Old crooked, you better go to reconnoiter again, be careful, the devil is not a fool, and he won't want to retreat." ”

"Yes!" The old crooked replied and left.

"Ding San, call the regiment commanders and chiefs of staff." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Ding San replied and left immediately.

After a while, the regimental commanders and chiefs of staff came over.

"Guys, I'll plan the attack at night, prepare as soon as it gets dark, and start the attack at nine o'clock." Chen Fei said.

"Brigade commander, where is the main direction of attack?" Zhao Liudao.

"The flat hillside on the left side of the ridge, your independent regiment is in charge, Liu Meng, your regiment attacks from the right, there is a small mountain road there, you can go up, but the devil machine gun will blockade, so I called the mortar company of the old gun 10 mortars to support you, the old dog, you attack from the middle, you also saw it at noon, it is a cliff recessed, and the attack is more difficult, so you have to be careful, the devil will throw grenades from above, but if you can attack it, it is a good breakthrough." Chen Fei said.

"Brigade commander, can you divide a few mortars to support us?" The old dog said.

"Okay, how about three mortars?" Chen Fei said.

"Okay, I'll push the warrior up with a bamboo, I hope it can work." The old dog said.

"It's better to make more ladders, climb up together, let the devil take care of the head and tail, and see the opportunity to find a breakthrough, understand!" Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" The old dog replied.

"Brigade commander, what about our three regiments?" The chief of staff said.

"Be a general reserve, and see which regiment goes up and break through from there." Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" The chief of staff said.

"Everyone, no matter which regiment goes up, you have to blow up two pillboxes for me, otherwise sooner or later you will be driven down the mountain by devils." Chen Fei said.

Everyone couldn't help but nod.

"And if you encounter a resolute resistance from the devils, don't be afraid of increased casualties, grit your teeth and attack, because the rhythm of the attacks of each regiment is mutual, and if one side stops, the devils will be able to have more personnel to assist the difficult position, understand?" Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" The crowd replied.

"Everyone, although it is not a one-shot deal, we still hope to take Grandma Ridge in one fell swoop, and the devil will dare to garrison here with only 3,000 people and make his big dream of spring and autumn." Chen Fei said.

"Haha, I love to hear what the brigade commander says, the devil is a fart, I'll let him go tonight." Zhao Liuda said with a smile.

"Don't take it lightly, I hope everyone understands that this is a tough battle." Chen Fei said solemnly.

Everyone stood up and said in unison, "Yes!" ”

"Let's all dismiss and get ready." Chen Fei said.

Chen Fei hoped that the fierce battle at night would be smooth and that there would be fewer casualties.
