Section 4 Prelude to the Decisive Battle VII

Before the hustle and bustle of the festival was completely over, the snowflakes fell from the sky one after another, this sudden heavy snow, the temperature in the whole of North China was reduced to below zero, the muddy road was frozen, under the crush of the car, and it dissolved again, becoming more muddy, the soldiers on both sides of the road, carrying heavy rifles and bullet belts, limped to move their heavier legs, and the exhaled breath formed a white fog band over the column. \\。 qΒ⑤、īŊƒīŊīŊ

The marching detachments in the wilderness were even more difficult, with occasional wagons or wheelbarrows sinking into mud puddles, and shouting was heard from all sides. Contrary to the march of the troops, a large number of refugees marched south, who gathered in groups at the entrance of villages or towns, cheering excitedly at the troops in motion.

The large number of refugees who fled south from Pingjin and Tianjin brought new problems to the war zone, and how to resettle these refugees became Li Zhilong's biggest headache. The Political Department, the Popular Mobilization Department, and the National Salvation Association of the North China Theater organized a large number of food bedding, and the local government mobilized the villagers to provide them with accommodation, barely digesting more than 200,000 refugees.

To Li Zhilong's surprise, the arrival of these refugees aroused the excitement of the soldiers even more, most of these refugees who escaped had better living conditions, and they had greater enthusiasm than the local residents who had just been liberated from the iron hooves of the Japanese army.

During this period of time, the Political Department strengthened the political work of the troops, Li Zhilong ran around the various troops, after the recovery of Jizhong, 6 continued to appear dozens of mass graves, Li Zhilong ordered the troops to take turns to receive education in batches, the survivors who escaped death, the nearby villagers, complained to the soldiers about the brutality of the Japanese, the soldiers' emotions were completely mobilized, the morale was unprecedentedly high, and the letters of war flew to the superiors one after another.

The jeep drove past the soldiers, and several bold soldiers shouted hello to the officers in the car, and during the transfer of troops, officers of all ranks invariably took the same way, lowering the canopy so that the soldiers could see them and convince them that their commander was always with them.

Even ordinary people know that the war is about to start, and reporters are like cats that smell fishy, collecting news everywhere, but unlike the vast majority of young reporters, veteran reporters who have been on the front line for several years follow the familiar generals, Weber's successful way has become their way to emulate, Weber is now in the theater of operations, and he is given special treatment by Zhuang Jihua, he can get the pass that others can't get, and he can get the news that others can't get.

Foreman and Bai Xiude stood high on the side of the road, taking pictures of a group of front workers carrying carts, which had been removed and piled up on the side of the road, and a mule was struggling and howling.

Not far from them, two beautiful figures stood under the poplar tree at the entrance of the village, Ye Sufei was wearing a headscarf, looking at the scene in front of her with some indifference, only occasionally posing the camera on her chest, her camera was a little small, and it looked very beautiful.

There was a strong roar in the distance, followed by deafening cheers, Ye Sufei looked up, and a group of armored vehicles came along the road, this team of armored vehicles was different from ordinary armored vehicles, there were no machine guns on them, only two rows of gun barrels, and there were no other weapons. Soldiers on both sides of the road waved at the armored car, and the artillerymen on the front of the car looked proud.

"Sister Ye, Sister Ye, is this a rocket launcher called Thor." The female reporter next to her screamed excitedly, apparently it was the first time she had seen such equipment.

Ye Xufei glanced at her, and saw that her face was full of excitement, her eyes were shining, and her hands were only looking for it, but it was a pity that her newspaper did not give her a camera. This female reporter is a reporter from Chutian Weekly, named Lu Xiaoyu, who only came from Wuhan last month, and soon got along with Foreman Bai Xiude, and several people traveled together.

However, Ye Sufei was a little wary of her, their pass was obtained through Mei Youlan and Weber, and it took a lot of effort, but this Lu Xiaoyu also took out the same level of pass as if nothing happened, and he was able to get such a pass, but he was not even equipped with a camera, which could not help but make people suspicious.

Ye Sufei actually saw this kind of rocket artillery for the first time, among all the reporters, only Mei Youlan had seen this, and all the reporters also learned about this weapon in her report, many people are speculating what kind of weapon this is, in the Japanese army, this weapon is called the mysterious artillery unit of China, and the Japanese army gave him a name called Secret Artillery.

Ye Sufei raised the camera and pressed the shutter continuously on this armored car, and the gun body covered in cannon clothing, some dirty baffles, and soldiers with fur hats were all taken into the camera by her. Lu Xiaoyu looked at Ye Sufei with some envy, and muttered: "Damn editor-in-chief, damn fÊi pig," and then begged: "Sister Ye, Sister Ye, can you give me a copy of the photo, or two, I only need two." ”

Ye Sufei smiled slightly: "Xiaoyu, this is not in accordance with the rules, I have to ask the family." ”

According to the rules of the reporter's business, the photo is not something that can be given casually, Ye Sufei must obtain the consent of the editor-in-chief of the editorial department if she wants to give it to her, and the editor-in-chief cannot agree. Of course, if you give it privately, the newspaper will not know about it, and if you do, it will cause major problems. Therefore, reporters generally do not ask another reporter for photos, this Lu Xiaoyu didn't know this, and their editor-in-chief actually dared to send her to the front line.

Lu Xiaoyu stuck out his tongue, made a cute smile, and then sighed: "Alas, what a chance." ”

Ye Sufei smiled casually and put down the camera: "This kind of rocket artillery used to be classified and never shown in front of people, but now that it has been shown, there will be opportunities in the future, and it is said that this weapon is extremely powerful." ”

Ye Sufei didn't see it, next to a pile of straw thirty or forty meters behind them, two men with straw hats were looking here from time to time.

"Deputy Director, will this girl be fooled?" The young one asked, this young man has been following Ye Sufei for a few months, and there is no anger in his tone, and he is already calm.

Li Anguo hummed softly, still staring intently at the rocket artillery unit on the road. This time, against Ye Sufei, Wang Xiaoshan formulated a deception plan, which was approved by Zhuang Jihua and implemented by Li Anguo.

The Chinese and Japanese armies gathered, and the commanders of both sides knew that a decisive battle was about to break out, and now what Okamura wanted to know most was the main direction of attack of the squadron, and this plan was to make Okamura think that the main direction of attack of the squadron was in Beiping.

"The commander has invested so much money this time, why shouldn't this woman be fooled?" The young people seemed to be a little worried, and this rocket artillery was a trap for Ye Sufei.

"Then it's up to her to be smart enough." Li Anguo retracted his gaze and said lightly.

On the highway, the rocket artillery unit passed through Zhuangqian with great force, but after walking more than ten miles, it stopped at a threshing field, and then the officers and men began to camouflage the armored car, and a circle of children around the armored car was cheering, and the peasants in the village stood around to watch the excitement.

Ye Sufei looked at the rocket artillery troops in the distance, his eyes wandered a little, while Lu Xiaoyu ran to Forman and Bai Xiude, asked for a camera from Bai Xiude, and ran along the road. Ye Sufei looked left and right, and saw that no one noticed her, she folded her arms and supported her chin with one hand, and a mystery rose in her heart.

Is there any secret in the fact that the rocket artillery unit has always been secretive, and the movement and movement are all at night, but this time it is openly operating? Is it intentional or do the Chinese think there is no need to keep it secret anymore? How many such rocket artillery units are there in China? This batch of rocket artillery units has only more than 30 armored vehicles and eight trucks loaded with ammunition, which is by no means a large number of troops.

Ye Sufei had several questions in her heart, an important task of her front-line trip this time was to find out the deployment of the squadron's troops, but she thought in her heart that this was to provide a basis for judging the direction of the squadron's main attack.

Foreman and Bai Xiude came back, and the two of them seemed to be very satisfied, especially Foreman, who was as excited as a child, and croaked at Bai Xiude as he walked, but Bai Xiude was relatively calm, just responded lightly.

"It's not surprising that this kind of equipment is also available to the American team, I heard Lieutenant Colonel Farr talk about it from the advisory group." "However, as far as I know, rocket artillery technology comes from Soviet Russia. ”

"It's not surprising that rocket artillery first appeared on the battlefield in the Soviet Russian army," Foreman was still excited: "I heard that this kind of rocket artillery can fire the firepower of an artillery division in one salvo." ”

Bai Xiude obviously knew more about weapons and equipment, he thought for a while and nodded: "I counted just now, a row of twelve tubes, two rows of twenty-four tubes, this is equivalent to twenty-four shells, there are thirty-two here, no, it is thirty, there are two none, so there are seven hundred and twenty shells, and an artillery division has..." ”

Foreman interrupted him without waiting for him to finish his calculations: "The squadron will send two or three such rocket artillery units over, and thousands of shells will fall in one salvo, and the Japanese line will be blown into powder." ”

"Mr. Foreman, I support you." Ye Xufei said just right: "It's a pity that the number seems to be a little less now." ”

"No, no, no," Foreman shook his head resolutely, looking very experienced: "Such troops will not move together, but only disperse, and only they can really know its distribution." ”

Foreman turned his head to look at the village, Du Yuming's headquarters was set up in this small village, the village was full of antennas, military police patrolled around the village, the village was lined with sentry posts, there were more soldiers in military uniforms than the villagers in the village, and dozens of jeeps were parked on the edge of the grove near the entrance of the village, which showed that a large number of generals were gathering here and an important meeting was being held.
