Chapter 166: Deputy Commander Ma's revenge

The rain was terrifyingly heavy, and even during the rainy season in northern Myanmar, it is rare. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info didn't stop from noon until late afternoon. Looking down from the mountainside, there is an ocean at the foot of the mountain, and many flat areas have become water, and trees emerge from the water, and it is impossible to distinguish whether they are lakes or forests.

The scrivener touched the scene, remembering the situation last year when he and Rena were sheltering from the rain on a high ground, when the rain was so heavy that it was several days at a time. The past is vivid, and many things are still exciting when I think about it now.

"Old generation, what do you want?" Huo Erguo saw the scrivener and looked at the mountain in a daze, and asked.

"I'm wondering if the devil will do a sneak attack tonight." The scrivener doesn't say what he really thinks.

"Cut." Huo Erguo looked disdainful, "This kind of ghost weather enemy will not come out, unless he is looking for death himself." ”

The scrivener chuckled: "Hehe, not necessarily." The more you are at this time, the more you can't be paralyzed. The brothers were ordered to cheer up at night, and the enemy might tread on the water to attack. ”

Huo Erguo still didn't care, but he still conveyed the order. The foot of the mountain is full of water, and it is definitely impossible to go, so you can only use the mountainside as the first line of defense. The hill guarded by the scrivener is the south gate of the headquarters and the road repair site, and there is no room for error. A whole platoon of troops was on duty at night.

At night, the sky is as clear as if it has been washed by water, and the stars are dotted, like silver nails on a bluestone slab. Through the trees, you can see the lights in the direction of the headquarters. It had just rained and it was cool, and it was rare for the soldiers to have a refreshing night.

The first half of the night was uneventful. In the second half of the night, the sound of rushing water could be heard at the foot of the mountain. It was light, but it was still noticed by the soldiers who were on guard. A few black shadows slowly approached the mountainside, stopping as they walked, as if they were exploring the reality of the position. The platoon commander on duty was Kong Zhaoqiang, and when Lao Kong saw someone sneaking closer, he must have known that he was not a good person. He counted them, there were only four people, and even if they were all wiped out, it wouldn't make much sense. Just scare the snake.

When the opponent was still quite far from the position, Lao Kong gave the order to open fire. More than a dozen M1911 Garand rifles spewed fire snakes at the same time. Seeing this, the sneak attack enemy hugged his head and ran away, knowing that there were preparations on the mountain, and waded away without looking back.

At the same time, gunfire was heard in the direction of the headquarters, as well as from positions farther to the north. The battle spread quickly, and in a short time, gunfire was everywhere in all directions, with the headquarters as the center, and gunfire rang out from positions near and far. However, the scrivener was very quiet, and the enemy did not come to harass the sneak attack after suffering a small loss.

"What's the matter, I said it, the devil really came to sneak attack, and the scale is not small." The scrivener said to Huo Erguo, deliberately revealing the other party's scars.

Huo Erguo was speechless, he had always prided himself on being a military expert, but he was repeatedly at a disadvantage in the argument with the scrivener, which made him very unhappy. A military student who has studied in Europe is not as good as a native soldier?

The battle did not last long, and it calmed down in less than half an hour, except for the occasional gunfire in a corner of the forest. The scrivener tells everyone that they can rest at ease, and it is enough to leave a squad of troops on duty.

Huo Erguo was puzzled, how do you know that the devil will not make a comeback?

The scrivener avoided answering and went to sleep by himself.

In fact, as expected, it was quiet until dawn, and there was no harassment at all. Before noon, the good news came out, and the Japanese soldiers suffered heavy losses in the sneak attack last night. The various positions of the 114th Regiment completely occupied the initiative in the battle due to the strategy of the scrivener, and beat the devils who tried to disguise themselves to attack. Seventy or eighty corpses were found alone, which can be said to have avenged the night before.

Since this great victory, the Japanese army's sneak attacks have become less and less successful. It's almost impossible to get away with disguised tricks.

Under the strong cover of the large army, the road construction army marched all the way, advancing ten kilometers in half a month. This was unthinkable before. At this rate, it will not be difficult to complete the construction task before the end of the rainy season.

As the road extended, so did the garrison. The scrivener received an order from his superiors to withdraw from his original position tomorrow and garrison a high ground fifteen kilometers away. It was at the forefront of road construction and the place where the fighting was fiercest.

The scrivener ordered his soldiers to hurry up and rest and open early tomorrow morning. The platoon commanders began to organize people to pack up their equipment, throw what should be thrown, and bring what should be carried.

Early the next morning, the scrivener led the sharp knife company to pull out and rushed to the front line. Company Commander Liu of the 112th Regiment was also ordered to be deployed, and he was to garrison a high ground ten kilometers away. In other words, the two forces are to be separated.

The scrivener box and Lao Liu's troops set off together, marching mightily on the newly repaired highway. There was no road in the mountain, so a road was cut from the mountainside or the foot of the mountain, like a ribbon around the mountain, winding and extending into the distance. It is said that it is a road, but it is actually a paved dirt road, but there is no problem with car traffic. It's not like an asphalt road, but it's a great project.

Ten kilometers ahead, Lao Liu arrived at his position first, and separated from the scrivener. The sharp knife company that left the scrivener continued to move forward, and walked another kilometer, and the road ahead had come to an end. The army of road builders is in full swing to open the mountains and pave the roads. According to the map, the position of the scrivener box is three kilometers ahead.

Kong Zhaoqiang scolded his mother, who arranged this battle plan? This is to push the sharp knife into the fire pit! This is already the front line, and if you advance three kilometers further, you will not be a lone army in the depths, and once you are cut off from supplies by the enemy, you will have to starve to death without fighting yourself!

Lu Shuting and the others also had gloomy faces, and they had to say that the combat mission assigned by their superiors was too tricky and too dangerous. If you don't like it, it's clear that it's a wholehearted person. Let a company alone go deep for 3,000 meters, wouldn't it become the target of everyone, and all the firepower of the Japanese army would pour over.

The scrivener box keeps the troops on standby, and they must be responsible for the lives of the soldiers, and they cannot rush in. He asked the little monkey to go to reconnaissance with a squad of troops to confirm that there was no danger before the large army followed.

It took more than two hours for the little monkey to come back with the people, his thin body was covered in sweat, his face was full of melancholy and anger, and the muscles in his forehead were throbbing.

"How's the situation up ahead?" The scrivener asked.

The little monkey gasped and said, "Company commander...... The situation is not good, the hill we are going to garrison is occupied by devils, and there are pillboxes on the top of the mountain, so it will be a tough battle if we go. ”

"What!" Everyone was moved. What kind of order is this from the superiors, where is the garrison position, it is clearly a tough battle!

"Don't go!" Kong Zhaoqiang was the first to stand up against it. He knew best what it meant to fight a tough battle, the Japanese army occupied a favorable terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and only needed a platoon of troops to hold on, and their entire sharp knife was sent to death.

"Don't go, whoever loves to go!" Lu Shuting, who has always been silent, also said that he was originally very belligerent, but he was not stupid, and being belligerent and sending him to death are two different things. It is simply impossible for a company of troops to fight a fortified battle without the support of artillery and air force.
