We occupied the first defensive position of the Japanese army, and planned to use this as a base to launch a second round of attacks on the main peak position of the Japanese army. Now we have everything but the east wind, we are waiting for ammunition, waiting for supplies, waiting for everything we need.

The Japanese troops on Moyunling, in our intelligence description, only have two lines of defense on paper, and the army they are stationed in Moyunling is just a wing.

In this way, after we break the first defensive position, the Japanese army should lose at least one-third of its personnel, weapons and materials.

The opinion of the upper peaks was basically like this, they believed that the remnants of the Japanese army had retreated to the main peak position, their morale was low, and they were no longer able to organize a counterattack. As long as we have all the supplies, we can launch a final attack on the main peak position.

The optimism of the upper peak drives the confidence below, although the cost of winning a defensive position is huge, but it does not prevent our fighting spirit from being high at all. Even if we are at a stage where supplies cannot be helped, not many people doubt that in the next few days, we will completely take Moyunling!

We repaired on the spot in the first defensive position of the Japanese army, waiting for the next order, and the Japanese retreated to the main peak position, and died down, as if they were waiting to fight us to the death.

Now the rain has stopped, and the hot and cold air has converged, causing foggy weather to form on both sides of the Nu River again. In the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn, in addition to the frequent rainy weather, it is the fog that permeates from time to time like a fairyland, which is my deepest impression of western Yunnan.

Because the fog makes people unable to see too far away, our army is now in full array, almost ready for battle, to prevent the Japanese army from taking advantage of the cover of the fog to carry out a surprise attack, after all, the first defense and the main peak position are not too far away, if they really want to be touched in front of them and then prepare, then there is only a passive beating.

I sat down on the ammunition box, lit a cigarette, and looked at the hill members lying in the traffic trench not far ahead, all of whom had brought thatched grass under them, or they would have to lie down in the mud.

Zhou Dalei walked over with a gun in the fog and said, "Anzi, bring me a cigarette." ”

I threw the cigarette case to him and said, "No one in your battalion smokes?" ”

Zhou Dalei lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said: "There are a lot of smokers, either old dry tobacco bags, or wet by the rain. ”

I grabbed a piece of mud from my side and threw it at a recruit, the mud was sticking on his back, this guy was probably too tired, looking at his lowered head, he wasn't defensive, he was already asleep.

I ignored the recruit's panic and said to Zhou Dalei: "If we have enough ammunition now, we can use the cover of the fog to fight a sneak attack by the Japanese army." ”

Zhou Dalei said: "Anzi, you have been fighting with devils for so many years, and you still don't know devils?" We have done a good job of defense now, the devil is more adequate than our defense, and if you go to attack someone's house, there is no difference between attacking and attacking. ”

I held up the Thompson submachine gun in my hand and said, "Although the Thompson submachine gun has strong firepower, the range is too short, and the long-range attack is not as good as the Zhongzheng rifle." If we are allowed to touch within two hundred meters of the main peak position of the Japanese army, this kind of gun will be most effective, and it will not hurt to turn a sneak attack into a strong attack, and we will have an advantage in weapons. ”

Zhou Dalei nodded and said, "Don't really say it, what you kid said really makes sense." Alas, it's a pity, the ammunition can't be replenished, and the supply of troops hasn't come up, your ideas are all empty talk. I don't know what the commanders are worried about, the ammunition supply can't come up, the supply of troops can't come up, they don't know our casualties? ”

I said: "The commanders thought that it would be useless to replenish our troops anyway, and having guns without bullets is the same as not having guns. They must have been prepared to wait until the ammunition supplies arrived, so that these reinforcements could act as transports. ”

Ani walked over with a sniper rifle on her unhappy face, so the foggy day made her sniper rifle lose its power, Ani sat on the ammunition box next to me and said, "Brother An, when are we going to attack?" ”

I looked at Zhou Dalei, repeated Ani's words, and said, "Battalion Commander Zhou, when are we going to attack?" ”

Zhou Dalei lit another cigarette and said, "I have to ask the head of the regiment and ask me what it is for." ”

I leaned back lazily and said, "I promise that we will ask the group, and the group doesn't know when we will attack, and the head of the group may let us ask God!" ”

Ani said, "You commanders don't know when to attack, so what should we do with our soldiers." ”

I looked at Ani's collar badge and said with a smile: "Ani, you are not a soldier, you are now a lieutenant." ”

Ani has been promoted to warrant officer because of the large number of enemies killed, but Ani's personality, coupled with her sniper status, she is only the deputy platoon commander of the guard platoon of the first battalion, and she is still a lone sniper.

Zhou Dalei had seen Ani's marksmanship, and when he heard me say this, he also praised: "When this battle is over, I think Miss Ani can at least be promoted to major." In the sequence of the expeditionary force, female major officers are rare, Miss Ani, you will be majestic when the time comes. ”

Ani muttered and said, "I'm not rare, when the battle is over and the devils are driven out, I'll go back to Eighteen Mile Village...... Ahem! Brother An, it's good for you to smoke less, choking people to death. ”

I innocently spread out my hands and said, "I don't have any cigarettes, and all the cigarettes are given to Camp Chief Zhou...... Ahem! ”

Immediately in the fog, many of my colleagues were coughing and coughing, Zhou Dalei coughed twice, rubbed his nose and said: "Mom Labazi, cough can be contagious?" ”

Listening to the coughing sound one after another, I became alert, sniffed the smell in the mist, suddenly woke up, and shouted: "Poison gas! It's poison gas! Put on your gas masks! ”

I pulled out the gas mask from my waist and put it on my face, and from the waist of Ani, who was still dazed, I pulled out her gas mask and put it on her.

Zhou Dalei had already woken up when I shouted the word poison gas, put on a gas mask and ran back to his camp, shouting as he ran: "Poison gas, all fucking put on gas masks, retreat without gas masks, retreat down the mountain!" ”

We were in a hurry to cough and cough and put on gas masks, and suddenly in the fog appeared Japanese soldiers with bayonets, and their gas masks, which they had already put on, appeared in front of our position like a group of ghosts.

"The Japanese army is coming! Sniper! "I shouted behind my gas mask and raised my gun to shoot.

The cough-coughing army also began to shoot, and while we were busy putting on our masks, the Japanese were already within 100 meters of the position, and in our cough-cough, they suddenly accelerated and sprinted towards us like a pack of hungry wolves.
