Chapter 14: The Bunker (2)
In order to show his respect for Lin Jinghan for sending ammunition and volunteering to blow up the enemy's ammunition depot, and also to appease the boss who lost his brother, Sun Yuan agreed to Lin Jinghan's enlistment in the 88th Army, and also gave him the title of second lieutenant platoon leader, that is, Lian Yanfei, he also gave him the title of sergeant, which was much stronger than ordinary big-headed soldiers.
Xiao Linghu was quite satisfied with Sun Yuan's arrangement, especially the posthumous recognition of Ah Peng's identity, Sun Yuan was not stingy, in addition to the rewards and pensions allocated to 10,000 oceans, he also reported to the group army and gave it the recognition of the heroes.
And these are exactly what Lin Jinghan and Yan Fei want, and what Xiao Linghu hopes to be able to give them.
As for the little soldier named Zhang Shun, for Sun Yuan and the 88th Division, one more is not more, and one less is not less, since Huang Mao died because of him, Xiao Linghu asked someone to replenish him, and Sun Yuan also pushed the boat down the river, and immediately agreed.
After Xiao Linghu's request was satisfied, Sun Yuan asked about the situation on the Huishan code.
"How many devils' troops are there at Huishan Wharf?"
Xiao Linghu thought for a while and said, "I don't know what the specific strength is, but it doesn't seem to be too much!" ”
"Why do you think so?"
"Because when we touched it, we couldn't see a few people at all, only some of the old, weak, sick and disabled people who were carrying supplies, and they were not real combatants. Their guards were less than a hundred, but two of their warships were parked there, and they should have four or five hundred at least! Xiao Linghu told Sun Yuan that his observation of the Huishan Wharf was still very good, which was much more understanding than Lin Jinghan.
"How's their armament?" Sun Yuan asked again.
Xiao Linghu thought about it, Guan Lin staff asked for a pencil and a blank paper, so he drew on the paper, and after a while, he drew a picture, Sun Yuan, Zhuo Tongfeng and Lin staff officers and others gathered around the side, watching carefully, Xiao Linghu explained: "Huishan Wharf is their core wharf, so their armor is very tight. This is to the north, against Yangshupu Road, and we can't see it to the east, where there is a small two-story white building, which is their command center; There is a power distribution room on the side. To the west, there is a drainage ditch that leads to the Huangpu River to the south. However, I also looked at this position of theirs and found no one of their bunkers! ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the west side of Huishan Wharf near Yangshupu Road, and said: "This place is a chokepoint, from Huishan Wharf to Yangshupu Road, it is very wide, I think it is impossible for the enemy to arrange nothing, maybe there is their hidden fort!" ”
"Why didn't you leave the dock from here and go back the way you came?" Zhuo Tongfeng asked with some puzzlement.
Xiao Linghu pointed to the two bridges on the Honghe River and said, "Even if we can pass Yangshupu Road, how can we cross this bridge?" ”
Staff Officer Lin said: "If you can't cross the bridge, can you swim across the Honghe?" ”
Xiao Linghu said: "The Honghe River is so wide, and the water is so deep, the devil's searchlight has been shining on the river, and we still have a wounded person, how can we get better?" ”
Sun Yuan has been pondering, and he is also thinking that if he takes the Devil Bunkers next to the two bridges, Lower Hongqiao and Middle Hongqiao, then attacking Huishan Wharf along Yangshupu Road is the most convenient path, which is far easier to fight than attacking eastward along the wharf along the river. Because the docks are all bare, there is not even a single obstacle, and the devil's bunker at the west entrance of Huishan Pier is just right, and it is stuck between the two docks, unless there is powerful artillery fire that can destroy it, it is difficult to break through.
More importantly, advance along the pier attack, but also from time to time to guard against the coordinated operation of the enemy's two warships on the river, when the enemy is small, with strong fortifications and strong artillery support, can also be repulsed.
After uprooting the two pillboxes on the Devil's Hongqiao, of course, it was still necessary to attack and advance eastward along Yangshupu Road! Sun Yuan had already made up his mind.
"How deep is this gutter?" Zhuo Tongfeng asked Xiao Linghu.
Xiao Linghu replied: "It's half a person deep, if you are short, you can squat and walk." However, only one person can go. ”
"Where's the water out?" Zhuo Tongfeng asked again.
Xiao Linghu said: "It's under the bunker to the west of the devil, Huishan Wharf to the east, and Jardine Wharf to the west. ”
Zhuo Tongfeng nodded and didn't ask anything more.
Sun Yuan asked about some other situations at Huishan Wharf, and then asked about the adjacent Jardine Huashun Wharf, China Merchants North Dock and other wharves.
Xiao Linghu said: "There are two relatively large cargo ships parked on the North Stack Wharf of China Merchants Bureau, both of which are ships to be repaired, and the devil has a secret whistle on a Xinghe ship, but it was killed by us, and it is estimated that they have found it now!" As for the Gonghexiang Wharf, Shuntai Wharf and China Merchants Central Wharf in the west, we did not pass through, so the specific situation is not too clear. ”
Staff Officer Lin said: "If you want to say it, we must first kill the enemy bunker on the side of Hongqiao, before we can continue to fight east to Huishan Wharf, and now we can only take the strategy adopted by Commander Xiao to row over the Huangpu River and carry out a sneak attack from behind, otherwise, even if we use more people and no matter how powerful the artillery fire, it will be difficult to take it!" ”
Sun Yuan knew that Staff Officer Lin was reminding himself that this was the time to ask Xiao Linghu at this time.
"Brother Ling Hu! Look, I think only you can complete this task! Sun Yuan finally spoke, with a bit of pleading.
Xiao Linghu was stunned for a moment, if he had just come, he would definitely accept it hesitantly, as a soldier, it is an honor to be able to die in battle, but to be able to complete the task and survive is the real ability!
It's just that at this time, after being hit by Sun Yuan yesterday, Xiao Linghu has seen through it, these officials have always been flies that like to bite blood, and when there is no benefit, they push it all away, and when there is benefit, they rush to be the first.
"Hehe, thank you Master Sun for watching it!" Xiao Linghu said angrily: "Now that my brothers and I are tired, we haven't eaten for a day, we haven't closed our eyes for a night, where do we still have the strength to perform such an important task!" Please also ask Master Sun to find another master! ”
Saying that, like people from the rivers and lakes, they arched their hands at Sun Yuan and turned to leave.
Looking at the back of Xiao Linghu leaving, Sun Yuan's face became extremely ugly.
Staff Officer Lin also said unhappily: "Isn't it just a guard company commander in the commander's department?" Blew up an ammunition depot last night, see what he got from it? ”
Zhuo Tongfeng said: "He is right, people are not machines, I was tired all night last night, how can I let people have a good meal and sleep!" ”
Sun Yuan let out a cold snort, knowing that Zhuo Tongfeng was right, but when he thought of Xiao Linghu's attitude, he was a little angry, and he clearly didn't take the eighty-eighth division in his eyes.
"Isn't there a capable person in our division?" As he spoke, Sun Yuan turned his head to Staff Officer Lin and said, "You go and call Zhou Daring over, as long as he can complete this task, I will promote him to battalion commander!" ”
"Yes!" Staff Officer Lin agreed and walked out.
Zhuo Tongfeng watched Staff Officer Lin go out, but he was worried in his heart, I don't know if Zhou Daring has Xiao Linghu's ability?
