Chapter 216: Heavy Snowfall
Chapter 216 Heavy snowfall
I really let the fifth uncle say, the first two days were still sunny days, and as soon as the third day passed noon, the sun was hidden, and then snowflakes drifted in the middle of the sky.
The strength of the five battalions of the Volunteers arrived on the hill near the turret two days in advance.
For two days of reconnaissance, as the guerrillas had said, every day armored patrol cars from Renxian and Anton would come over, meet in the turret, and then go back again.
There are really a lot of materials in the turret, and they are all concentrated in the compound at the back. During the day, every two hours of the Kwantung Army and the Imperial Allied Army in the turret, a wave of patrols would patrol around the turret.
In the past two days, two convoys, coming from the direction of Benxi and Andong, continued to transport supplies, but they were a little far away and did not see what was being transported.
"Brother Hu, it seems that the heavy snow that the fifth uncle said is really coming, if it is the next day tomorrow, I will do it tomorrow night, how about it?" Mengzi looked at the snowflakes falling outside the tent and said to Hu Daniu.
"Okay, let's do it tomorrow night. You can contact the guerrillas, and tomorrow afternoon you can use a big tree to seal the road, and look at such a heavy snow, there is a half-day kung fu tree that can bury the snow. Hu Daniu continued.
"Okay, I'll send someone over right away." Mengzi turned to Liu Hong and ordered him to send two members of the team to the guerrillas immediately.
"By the way, Mengzi, I've been thinking about it for the past two days, and I still think that I should leave these materials in the turret."
"Yes, these materials can equip two regiments with weapons and ammunition alone, as well as so much food and medicine, it's a pity that all of them are bombarded into the sky." Mengzi agreed.
"In this way, bring a few battalion commanders, Liu Hong, you let people know, you also participate, let's have a Zhuge Liang meeting, and everyone will find a way together." Hu Daniu decided.
This time attacking the turret, Hu Daniu brought down a total of five battalions: four infantry battalions and one heavy weapons battalion. Four infantry battalions in two groups surrounded the two artillery towers in the north and south, and the heavy weapons battalion was divided into two, ten mortars, ten heavy machine guns, and five on one side.
Such a firepower configuration, let alone attacking these two sister turrets, is rich and surplus even in Renxian County.
The five battalion commanders, plus Hu Daniu, Liu Meng and Liu Hong, studied for a long time and didn't come up with any better way, attacking the artillery tower to the point that there was nothing more to say, first a mortar, then a heavy machine gun suppression, light machine guns covered nearby, Liu Shusheng's sharpshooter team was also divided into two, there was counterattack fire, so kill it.
But in this way, there is no need to take care of the weapons, ammunition, food and other medicines that are piled up in the courtyard of the north turret. The little devils will not let these things fall into the hands of the enemy, even if we don't bomb, they will definitely destroy these things at the last moment.
"I had an idea, but I didn't know if it was feasible or not." Seeing that everyone was at a loss, Liu Hong still mustered up the courage to say.
"Brother Liu, if you have any ideas, just say it directly, they are all your own brothers, you don't have to be polite." Mengzi hurriedly said, after all, he was later, so Mengzi was afraid that he would be restrained.
"That's the case, can we come to a bright plank road and darken Chen Cang? Then a team was sent to use special weapons to "Liu Hong, with the encouragement of Mengzi and everyone, said what he had been thinking about for two days."
As soon as Liu Hong finished speaking, all the people who participated in the meeting looked at him in unison, and no one spoke for a while.
"Hehe, I'm just a little bit of my own thoughts, it doesn't matter if I can't do it" Looking at everyone's expressions, Liu Hong said with a little unnatural blushing.
"I said Liu Hong, you kid is okay, silent, there are goods in your stomach, you deserve to be from our Northeast Army. I think it's a good idea, it's very good, it's very good. Hu Daniu went up and punched Liu Hong, and then said happily.
"I think it's doable. Let's discuss it again, and add that this time we will take advantage of the first heavy snow to end these two turrets, even if the little devils really want to carry out a large-scale mountain clearance after a while, we are not afraid, as soon as the back door is opened, they want to block us, and there is no door. If you get these weapons and equipment in your hands again, it won't be a big deal if the little devil transfers the entire northeast troops. Mengzi also agreed with Liu Hong's method from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't show too much of it.
"I think this method will work, as long as it is more detailed, it will be more thoughtful than how to prevent the little devils from approaching the weapons and ammunition depot and beat the little devils and traitors so that they dare not come out of the turret." A battalion commander said pensively.
"Yes, there is also the fact that when the two fights are lively, how can the team enter the compound of the artillery tower in advance to protect the materials we want, and we have to study it again, we must not miss, otherwise, if a large number of weapons and ammunition really explode, it will be difficult for those who enter to get out." Another battalion commander said.
You said a word, and I kept it open until it was almost time to eat, and then the meeting dispersed.
"There is a lot of strength in numbers, let everyone say this, Liu Hong's plan is more perfect." Hu Daniu looked at Mengzi and said with emotion.
"Yes, at a critical time, you veterans of the Northeast Army still have a way. I didn't expect Liu Hong to come up with such a brilliant trick. He's such a character. Liu Meng continued.
"Yes, when I was in the Northeast Army, I was a battalion-level officer, can I run out of goods in my head? After going back this time, he should be given a regiment commander, and the position of captain is a bit condescending. Hu Daniu said.
"Okay, go back and talk to the commander. Give him the regiment of heavy weapons. Mengzi said.
"Yes, let's let him take over my shift, give him a regiment, I am specially in the headquarters, helping the commander, always doing this, I'm afraid that if something happens to the regiment, I can't get out, then it will be troublesome." Hu Daniu thought about it for a while and said.
"That's okay, I'll study with the commander when I go back this time, there are more and more of us, and I'm often not at home, and there are only the eldest lady and fifth uncle in the headquarters, if you really want to encounter a big event, you really can't take care of it."
The wind outside was getting stronger. The small cloud in the middle of the sky was only a blink of an eye, and it turned into a white cloud, which slowly rose, expanded, and gradually covered the sky. The wind whined, and a blizzard came. All of a sudden, the dark sky merged with the sea of snow, and I couldn't see anything.
The snow on the mountain was blown by the wind, as if it were going to bury the tents on the side of the mountain. The trees cried, and the wind and snow shrouded the tent. A large tree leaning on the side of the mountain folded upside down. Han Yue, who was already lonely, retreated to the edge of the sky as if she was afraid of being shattered by a qiē sound!
The blizzard became more and more violent, and the sky began to freeze, freezing people's noses and cheeks even more, and the cold air poured into the corners and corners more frequently, burying all the sleds that the team had prepared in advance into the snow.
Mengzi took the members of the Liujiabao brigade and braved the heavy snow to lurk around the turret, not daring to have a trace of carelessness.
At this time, the sun was already setting, and Mengzi seemed to feel that there was a strong light shining on the snow-white field, the horizon was greatly opened, and the low and dark sky suddenly disappeared, and only white diagonal lines formed by falling snow could be seen in all directions. …… In the wilderness, the wind stubbornly blows all the qiē in one direction. …… On the right, on the left, everywhere was white and gray.
Mengzi's eyes wanted to find something new, but they couldn't find it: none of the original road signs that had been used as references were gone, and the piles of bushes at the foot of the mountain had also become snow hills one by one.
"Commander, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, can you still do it at night?" Liu Shusheng was lying beside Mengzi and watched a large cloud of snow falling from the middle of the sky, and asked with some worry.
"You don't understand this, the heavier the snow, the greater the certainty of our end turret. When it gets dark, as soon as the two sides fight, remember, don't rush to shoot first, don't expose your position in advance, otherwise, the little devil will shoot at a point, and his life will be gone. The sharpshooter will shoot one at a time, and after firing the shot, immediately change positions. Mengzi said uneasily. In a sense, Liu Shusheng can be regarded as the only seedling of Liujiabao.
"Knowing the regiment commander, I will pay attention, when the time comes, I will ambush in front of this turret on the back, if a little devil dares to come out of the turret, just shoot one at a time, and no one will want to run."
"No, you can't get so close to the turret with the sharpshooter, it's too dangerous, didn't I find a good position for you, it's at the bottom of the mountain, there are big rocks there."
"Commander, how can there be no danger in fighting? Besides, with such a heavy snowfall, it is difficult to guarantee the hit rate from such a distance. Commander, you just let me bring people down, I promise to pay attention to safety. ”
"Well, what you said really makes sense, if the snow doesn't stop at that time, it will really affect your shooting accuracy. So at night you lie in ambush behind the caravan and get a little distance from them. You have to tell your subordinates that you must not have a fluke in your heart, and you must find a few more shooting points and transfer them in time. You are a dozen or so, but the treasures of our volunteers, there can be no casualties. ”
"Yes, Commander, put your heart in your stomach. When I was in Liujiabao, so many little devils didn't surround me, and now I'm even more afraid. Liu Shusheng said.
In the evening, before it was dark, everyone had finished eating, and as soon as it got dark, all the personnel entered the ambush position.
Mengzi took the Liujiabao brigade, and the ambush site was located at the forefront of the north turret, which was about 20 meters away from the big suspension bridge of the turret, and they had already changed into the clothes of the Kwantung Army, big shoes, cotton coats, and dogskin hats.
Their task is to be the first to enter the north turret as soon as the battle starts, and in addition to protecting the materials and ammunition, the most important task is to use special means to deal the most lethal blow to the turret.
"Regiment leader, you still command outside, I'll just take the team members in, I, Liu Hong, promise you that you must complete the task and avenge our Liujiabao." After all, it was too dangerous to go inside, so Liu Hong wanted to finally convince Mengzi to let him stay outside.
