The sun had already set, and as far as the eye could see, there was nothing but mud and white water. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This was already the thirteenth dusk after Huo Xiaoshan and the others had crossed the New Wall River, and Huo Xiaoshan still hadn't given the order to attack.

They watched from their hidden places as the Japanese bombarded the opposite bank again and again, and then launched a river crossing attack on the opposite bank in various boats.

On the eleventh day, the Japanese finally landed successfully, but there was no fierce gunfire, because the 52nd Army, which was in defense, had already retreated.

In fact, Huo Xiaoshan knew that the 52nd Army had begun to retreat secretly on the night of the 10th day, and the blocking attack received by the Japanese army when they crossed the river the day before, that is, on the ninth day, was from the firepower of the covering troops.

"Boss, why don't we fight when the Japanese army crosses the river?" Xiao Shi Suo asked the little mountain road.

Xiao Shisuo's words represented the voice of most of the soldiers in the battalion directly under him, and he rested for three months, but just like this, watching the Japanese army cross the river, everyone was extremely unwilling.

"What if we fight, the devil can't cross the river?" Huo Xiaoshan saw that Xiao Shisuo was a little anxious, but he teased him.

"Chief, you're not right! If we say so, our Chinese army doesn't have to fight, no matter how many people we kill, the devils will fight to the current Changsha! "Xiaoshi Suoguo, I was annoyed by Huo Xiaoshan, don't look at him and listen to Huo Xiaoshan for everything, but sometimes he doesn't recognize people.

Huo Xiaoshan glanced at the soldiers who were looking at him with big eyes like Xiao Shisuo, smiled, and then said: "I know you want to fight, but don't you see that the 52nd Army is only killing and wounding the Japanese army as much as possible and not fighting to the death with the Japanese army?"

This time, the theater command's operational plan was to block the attack step by step, use the muddy roads to consume the Japanese army's firepower superiority, and then encircle and annihilate the Japanese army, which had no firepower superiority, near Changsha. ”

Huo Xiaoshan saw that a considerable number of soldiers had not yet reacted, so he continued to explain: "For example, before this battle, the Japanese army had a hundred cannons when they set out, but do you think they will have a hundred cannons when they arrive at this new wall?"

No!

Because of the road conditions, they could not transport them, and there were only seventy cannons left that they could bring here to fight, and those thirty were stuck in the mud puddle halfway down the road.

But when the seventy cannons crossed the Xinqiang River and headed for the Miluo River, for the same reason, I bet they would have to throw half of the cannons on the way.

When they cross the Laodao River and reach the city of Changsha, do you think they will still have artillery available?

And at this time, the national army that is waiting for work can just encircle and annihilate them!

General Tiger Boy has changed his tactics and fought hard without dying, isn't this kind of fighting more beneficial to our Chinese army, do you understand? ”

"Understood." The soldiers of the directly subordinate battalion really understood after listening to Huo Xiaoshan's explanation, as veterans, they naturally understood that this kind of fighting style was really wonderful, and the soldiers of the directly subordinate battalion were only afraid of the Japanese army's superior firepower

"Then what are we doing here across the river?" Xiao Shi Suo asked.

Huo Xiaoshan smiled: "Aren't we addicted to making our own decisions, I'm not used to fighting the Japanese army head-on, the purpose of our coming back here is to blow up those big guys who can't be dragged by the devil." ”

"Oh." As soon as Huo Xiaoshan said this, Xiao Shisuo immediately understood, "I said that we brought so many explosive bags when we set off!" ”

The soldiers who were still thirsty for war just now were also encouraged by Huo Xiaoshan's words and began to exchange ears.

"That's it!" Huo Xiaoshan slapped his face to stop the soldiers from talking excitedly and said, "We have two tasks now, we must first get the boat for the devil to cross the river, and then we will blow up the big thing that the devil can't drag, and then cross the river." ”

The soldiers of the directly subordinate battalion looked at each other, and they all saw the irrepressible excitement in everyone's eyes, but when they saw that Huo Xiaoshan was bowing his head and pondering, he didn't speak anymore for fear of disturbing Huo Xiaoshan's thinking.

After a while, Huo Xiaoshan raised his head and looked into the distance by taking advantage of the sky that was not yet completely dark, and when he pondered that the people sent out to reconnoiter should also come back, a soldier of two Huai nationality said: "Then you have to go to reconnoiter the enemy situation first!" ”

"It's up to you to worry about this! Didn't you see that Shen Tou and Xiaoshi hadn't been there for the past two days. "It was a soldier from Hubei who accosted him.

Huo Xiaoshan's men have been in several provinces, but there is no separation between the soldiers who have been fighting and living together for a long time.

As they were talking, the voice of a sentry asking for a password in a low voice was heard in the distance, and the accent of the person who answered the password was Shen Chong.

After a while, Shen Chong and Xiao Shi came back with people.

It turned out that Huo Xiaoshan sent Shen Chong to reconnoiter the location of the Japanese ferry's ferry or whether a pontoon bridge had been built, and Xiaoshi was to reconnoiter the parking position of the cannon dragged by the Japanese army to the north bank of the Xinqiang River.

The two of them each brought someone back to reconnoitre, but they both rushed back when they ran into each other.

"The devil has ten cannons!" Little Stone reported excitedly.

"The devil's boat has transported a lot of devils across the river in the past three days, and they are building a pontoon bridge, it seems that they want to transport the cannons over." Shen Chong also reported.

Shen Chong, Xiao Shi and the soldiers who went out to reconnoiter were already like mud monkeys at this time, and they lay in the muddy water for two days and two nights in order to reconnoiter the situation of the Japanese army.

However, the vicinity of the ferry was relatively flat, and in order to be able to more accurately detect the intelligence of the Japanese army, the methods adopted by the two of them were surprisingly consistent, and they both rolled in the mud several times.

Now their scouts had a thick layer of mud on their faces, and no one could tell the two of them coming, except that their teeth were white when they spoke.

"Good! Now it's time to assign combat missions! Huo Xiaoshan said.

……

The night was deep, it was already the second half of the night, and the Japanese troops at the ferry had already fallen asleep.

It turned out that the Japanese army would habitually use electric lights or searchlights as lighting when they camped, and they always subconsciously felt that there would be Chinese troops peeping into their eyes in the endless dark night, and only the light could make them feel more secure.

However, this time, the Japanese army had no lighting, and the reason was simple, diesel generators and lights had not yet been shipped.

The roads were so difficult to navigate, and trucks carrying munitions were bogged down in the mud.

In order to ensure the needs of front-line operations, all the transported carriages and horses have already made way for the heavy artillery.

There is no need to think about using trucks for traction, all the trucks are already difficult to protect themselves, and these ten cannons are really exhausted, N horses are tired, N soldiers are tired, and it takes a lot of effort to finally transport them to the ferry.

Now the once proud Japanese artillerymen were in their sleep envious of the infantry, who had already crossed the river, but they had to wait for the engineer unit to erect a pontoon bridge over the river so that the heavy artillery could be transported across the river.

The Chinese army and the common people destroyed all the terrain that could be destroyed along the communication route, and finally they carried the heavy artillery, which they called the god of fire, to the river, and sadly found that there was no place for them to sleep, and there were still mud and puddles everywhere.

There was no dry place around the ferry, and many Japanese soldiers had to lie down on the wooden planks used for the cannons to pad the road and even on the cannons' cannons.

But how many such places can there be, and even those who can sleep on them are all officer-level, so more soldiers have to lie in the mud without water.
