Chapter 137: Death Hill
Xiaofeng River is a shallow stream, and the deepest stream can only submerge the waist of adults, Han Xin led everyone to march here, and the devils pulled a few military dogs and hung behind them unhurriedly.
Half an hour later, Han Xin paused in front of the Xiaofeng River and looked at the mountains on the other side of the river and fell into deep thought.
"Report, regimental commander, the devil is about to catch up!"
A voice interrupted Han Xin's thoughts, Han Xin glanced at the brothers around him, and finally sank his heart and ordered: "Cross the river!" ”
On the way to Xiaofeng River, the new regiment also experienced several battles, and finally escaped with the fierce combat power of the soldiers and Han Xin's proper command, but the attrition of the new regiment on the way has not stopped.
The so-called wars need to be filled with human lives, and it is impossible to avoid a new regiment, and everyone knows this.
However, seeing that the original more than 1,000 people in the new group are now only more than 300 people left, everyone's hearts are a little heavy.
For those soldiers who have lost their relatives and friends, if they had not experienced too much life and death, and are accustomed to seeing too much bloodshed and sacrifice, they would never have been able to achieve the calm that they now endure with great grief.
Even Han Xin is much more resolute than before, and he has no choice but to mourn and bless the demise of the soldiers.
…… In winter, the river is colder than ever, and the stream is not large, but fortunately it is flowing and does not freeze.
Han Xin lightly touched the surface of the water, and a chill suddenly spread along the footboard, and the whole person's heart slammed.
Looking up, some of the soldiers had already stepped into the river in a trembling state, and Han Xin no longer stayed, and stepped into the river with his heart horizontally.
"Hurry, everyone, hurry up!"
The two oxen were urging, and the warriors were in groups of threes and threes, and if someone encountered an unexpected situation of foot cramps, they could also take care of each other, gritting their teeth, and marching to the other side of the river with difficulty.
A few minutes later, the warriors all crossed the river and stood on the opposite bank, shivering in the cold.
Fortunately, everyone had a good meal before that, and the food in the body was converted into energy, providing everyone with a steady stream of calories, and it was okay for a while.
"Erniu, are you all together?"
"Well, it's all right!" Erniu counted a few ways.
Han Xin nodded, the figure of the little devil in the telescope had already appeared a few kilometers away, he looked at the hill in front of him, the trees had already withered and fallen, and the whole mountain was bleak and lifeless.
There was a faint fear in my heart, although this mountain was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but only if the number of enemies was not large, if there were too many enemies, this isolated hill would be easily besieged.
At that time, even if the stone is besieged but not attacked, the consumption can consume the new group of soldiers to death.
However, there is no better choice in front of him, Han Xin can only abandon the worries in his heart, and hold the psychology of luck, the little devils are busy encircling and suppressing the headquarters of Taihang Mountain Eighth Road! How can there be time to take care of the inconspicuous existence of the new group.
So he ordered: "Into the mountain!" ”
When the soldiers crossed the river, they held their shoes in their hands, and after crossing the river, the only dry and warm cloth shoes became the last thing for the soldiers to keep out the cold.
And not long after the new group all entered the hill, a team of devils also appeared on the bank of the Xiaofeng River.
The Japanese soldier with the military dog told the captain of the devil on the side in Japanese: The enemy's trace disappeared when it reached the river.
The captain of the devil is not a fool, he took the binoculars and looked at the hill not far away for a while, a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Balu must have entered the mountain, order, cross the river, go up the mountain to exterminate this guy." ”
"Hey!" The devil herald responded, and the devil adjutant on the side said worriedly: "Squadron leader, we have few people, and we only have the strength of a squadron, so I am afraid it is inappropriate to attack so rashly!" ”
"Yaga! These eight-way convoys have been running all the way after sneaking up on our convoys, and they have been constantly consumed by us on the way, and now they are already exhausted, the number is pitiful, and the equipment is even more rudimentary, we are attacking at this moment, but it is the best time. ”
Seeing that although the adjutant bowed his head and admitted, there was still a worried look on his face, the devil squadron leader's face was ugly, and he finally said: "Spread the news that this group of people is being besieged by us." ”
"Hey!"
As an adjutant in the devil squadron similar to the position of "military", he was stunned and responded excitedly, he thought very clearly, as long as the news of his squadron's siege of the Eighth Road was transmitted back, even if it was really defeated, the headquarters would rescue in time, and there would be no worries.
The little devil's movements were very fast, and he did not hesitate for half a minute because of the cold water of the river, and the entire devil squadron crossed the river in only three minutes, which was twice as fast as the soldiers of the new regiment.
The military dog was carried across the river by the devil, but after arriving on the other side of the river, the devil helplessly found that the military dog had lost the direction of the gang's eight roads.
This is also a normal thing, the river water removes the "smell" of the new group of soldiers, so that the military dogs that track by smell are completely ineffective.
This news made the devil squadron leader's brows furrow, although this hill is called a hill, it is not small, at least without a military dog to guide the way, it is still extremely difficult for the devils to find a new group.
"Damn, herald, all go into the mountain, carpet search!" The Devil Squadron Leader gave the order, and after thinking about it, the Devil Squadron Leader also realized that according to this situation, he was afraid that the manpower of one squadron of himself would not be enough.
Then he said to the adjutant on the side: "Squadron Izuojiro, please ask them to assist us." ”
"Hey!" The adjutant's eyes also lit up, and he immediately ordered the radio squad to transmit.
On the other side, after entering the hill, Han Xin stopped everyone's progress amid everyone's doubts.
"Commander, what's wrong?"
"Tell everyone, get ready to fight!"
"The little devil is coming?" Han Xin and Er Niu's words spread, and the surrounding soldiers gritted their teeth and instantly became nervous, and the cold earlier seemed to be instantly forgotten.
"It's coming, the devil has been hanging behind us, we got rid of the tracking of the devil army dog with the help of the little wind river, but we definitely can't hide the devils who came later, they will definitely approach this hill.
And now that we are in the dark, if we can attack unexpectedly, we can definitely achieve amazing results. ”
"Then let's fight, just find the little devil to ask for interest and avenge the dead brothers!"
"Yes, revenge!"
Seeing that everyone's emotions were mobilized, and there was not the slightest fear and retreat in their eyes, Han Xin nodded and said, "Okay, then we will set up an ambush in the grove where the hill must pass, the old rule, I just glanced at this group of devils from a distance, and it is only the number of a squadron, and it is conducive to us to avoid the heavy firepower of the little devils in the mountains and forests."
Therefore, it is not a problem to eat this group of devils, but we are now in the rear of the little devils, and the devils will definitely send reinforcements, and this battle must be resolved quickly! ”
"Yes"
The battle was imminent, and the soldiers began to ambush, taking advantage of the fact that the devil had not yet touched it, and set up some traps and tricks in the mountains and forests.
