The abnormal movement of the Japanese position was soon noticed by the anti-Japanese army on the opposite side and reported to Lin Yunyu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Immediately, Lin Yunyu, Shen Zhaoao, Li Zhenhua, Duan Xiongbo, and Cao Kun, the commander of the Second Regiment in charge of the southern flank front, Yuan Sikai, the deputy commander of the regiment, and Liu Qi, the staff officer of the regiment, --

A group of officers went up to the hill south of the Nanguanling Post Road, that is, the No. 3 high ground marked by the Japanese army, and observed the Japanese troops on the jungle slope three or four miles away.

"It should be a local attack, and the number of troops dispatched will not exceed one infantry wing, but it is not certain that once a breakthrough is achieved, they will not quickly increase their troops and expand the results of the battle."

Shen Zhaoao held the telescope and looked at it for a while, and asserted with certainty: "The direction of attack is the position on the southern flank. ”

Cao Kun raised his eyebrows when he heard this, although his face was still expressionless, but the sharp look in his eyes still revealed the excitement in his heart.

Two months ago, he was still a small sentry commander of the Yijun Ma Yukun Division, saying that he commanded more than 100 people in his hands, but in fact, he was a thankless and angry life.

Cao Kun has been a sentry commander in the Yi Army for five years since he graduated from the Beiyang Military Academy, and he is thirty-three years old this year, and he is still a sentry commander before joining the Korean Aid Army

He is a native of Jinmen, not born in Huaidi, and his family has no money, and he disdains to slip his beard and slap the horse and lick Shangguan's gutter.

The hope of being promoted to a battalion officer is not far away, but there is no possibility in sight.

It's not that the whole family is counting on this little military salary in his hand to live, Cao Kun can't stand the dirtiness and birdishness in the barracks for a long time, and the sky is high and the sky is high.

The time he stayed in Anzhou City was a big gamble by Cao Kun, he thought that his husband must have a little blood in the world, right? It's a big deal to hand over my life to Anzhou today!

Not to mention helping to raise his children, sending his wife to the end of his life, a subsidy allowance of ten taels to fifty taels per year, and fifty acres of land that is permanently tax-free, these seem to be incredible things.

As long as He Changying can fulfill part of his promise and give his family a pension of three hundred taels, he Cao Kun will be satisfied.

However, the news brought from the new soldiers at the Jinmen military station that the pensions of 300 taels for the dead soldiers and the 200 taels for the wounded and retired soldiers were all paid in full immediately.

In addition, the logistics officers of the military station assured the families of the fallen soldiers that the annual allowance of 60 taels would be paid in full for this month of the following year.

Wounded veterans receive an annual allowance of 10 to 50 taels, which is similar.

The only thing that has not been fulfilled now is the 50 acres of permanent land, but the logistics officer of the military station has repeatedly assured that this promise will be fulfilled.

Now not only in the anti-Japanese army, everyone is fighting bravely, even the Gongwei Army, those soldiers of the Renzi Army, and the sentry commander are also very envious.

If these treatments made Cao Kun feel at ease, in just two months, he became a middle- and high-level officer of the anti-Japanese army, commanding 14,500 soldiers, which made him full of gratitude to He Changying, and the collective of the anti-Japanese army was full of a sense of belonging.

Therefore, when he heard that Chief of Staff Shen Zhaoao judged that the Japanese army would attack from the southern flank, although Cao Kun restrained his expression, his heart was full of excitement.

He wants the commander-in-chief to see that he didn't promote the wrong person!

Cao Kun glanced at the Birth Martial Arts Academy, which was regarded as the commander-in-chief of the first batch of soldiers, the descendants of Genzheng Miaohong, the deputy regiment commander Yuan Sikai, and the regimental staff officer Liu Qi.

In their eyes, Cao Kun saw high morale.

"It's a team like no other! Unlike all the armies I've seen before, in the core of this army, there is a backbone supported by steel, so no matter how strong the external force is, it can't be defeated, let alone dispersed! ”

Cao Kun, who was wearing a straight Western-style military uniform and a woolen military coat, thought secretly in his heart.

"Boom!"

Suddenly there was a cannon roar from the east, and soon a long 'boom' scream passed, and a grenade exploded at the foot of the mountain in front of the middle peak of the southern wing of the Nanguan Mountains.

A small flame accompanied by black smoke blew up a cluster of shrubs at the foot of the hill and dust and debris flew everywhere.

"Fortunately, the East is poor, otherwise it would be all high-explosive bombs of the navy, but it would be really a trouble."

To tell the truth, seeing the strange and perverted ghost artillery shells of the Japanese Combined Fleet in Dalian Bay, Peng Qianyan was indeed a little afraid in his heart.

"Didn't the commander-in-chief say that the stability of picric acid is too poor; The naval shells are basically fixed when they are loaded into ships, and the army is moving them around every day, and they are all done with a bump. ”

Li Zhenhua said a word, and then looked at the blue and turquoise sea of Dalian Bay, and really hoped that the Japanese fleet would never appear on the sea of Dalian Bay.

In this way, the defensive battle of Nanguanling can continue to be bitter and bloody.

In this war, the commander-in-chief has already said that if you want to achieve the final victory, you have to hold back the Japanese army step by step in Nanguanling and Tuchengzi, waiting for the real ice period to come.

The opportunity to resist the Japanese army lies in waiting!

When the Japanese army could not transport supplies by sea and could only choose to transport supplies by Uiju Avenue, the time for the anti-Japanese army to counterattack had come.

"Boom!"

At this time, the second corrective shell from the Japanese distant artillery position shot out of the muzzle.

"Found it, it's a small barren mountain."

Xiao Ligang, the commander of the artillery battalion of Lin Yunyu's department, pointed to the small barren mountain about five miles away and said, "The third mountain in the south. ”

"Whoa—"

The cannonball swept past the top of the middle peak of the southern flank and smashed into a large tree on the slope of the mountain behind, and the big tree hugged the thick trunk of the tree alone, smashed into four parts, and fell with a bang.

"Their main attack was the position of three battalions; Send someone to tell Zhu Shunping that the team will hide in the pit first. ”

Lin Yunyu said to Cao Kun: "If my guess is right, the Japanese army should adopt the strategy of containing on both sides and attacking with one main attack, and you should prepare in advance." ”

"Yes!"

Cao Kun gave a standard military salute, and then said to Yuan Sikai and Liu Qi: "Let's have a mountain for each person." ”

"I pick the peak."

"I'll go to the middle peak."

Yuan Sikai and Liu Qi said at the same time.

"Haha-"

A group of officers of the anti-Japanese army all laughed.

"Boom!"

At this time, from the direction of Xiaobarren Mountain, a third correction bullet was shot, which accurately smashed on the mountainside of Zhongfeng, which basically confirmed Lin Yunyu's judgment.

"Regiment commander, did our artillery battalion fire and take them to an end."

Xiao Ligang, the commander of the artillery battalion, was eager to try.

Lin Yunyu thought for a while and said: "Don't expose the location of our artillery camp position for the time being, now is not the best time, look at the firepower of the Japanese army in the small barren mountain and then discuss." ”

"Boom-"

"Woo-"

Suddenly, on the Japanese artillery position in the small barren mountain in the distance opposite, artillery fire rang out in unison, and one after another grenade bombs with a sharp whistling shot towards the center.

"Lie down!"

Hearing the sound of cannonballs, Xiao Ligang couldn't help but change color and shouted, and all the officers of the anti-Japanese army on the top of the mountain immediately lay on the ground.

"Boom!"

A missed cannonball exploded fifteen or sixteen meters around them, and the shrapnel that exploded swept over everyone's heads.

Then everyone was swept up in fine pieces of dirt and snow foam.

"Phew-"

Shen Zhaoao spat out the snow on his lips, stood up and looked at the landing point of the Japanese artillery shells, about a third of which exploded all over the middle peak, showing the accuracy of the Japanese artillery.

"There were about ten artillery pieces, just an artillery squadron."

Xiao Ligang looked at the small crater that smashed on the frozen soil, his voice was hoarse, and his heart was beating violently.

If this is more than ten meters away, it will be a disaster!
