Chapter 56: Sneak Attack

One company after another entered the position and waited for it, and one soldier after another stared at the front, for fear of missing a single army, and the huge war machine of the Reading Brigade had already started again.

In the Reading Brigade Headquarters, Su Dao sat on the stool in a daze, the cigarette in his hand had long been burned, and the scorching temperature forced him to wake up from his fantasy. Looking at the telegram in his hand again, he couldn't even believe that it was true, even though it had become a fact, both in the past and in the future.

But when he came to the scene in person, he couldn't believe that this thing would happen in front of his eyes. I have tried my best, but in the face of the 300,000 Yue army, I am still helpless. He couldn't lead these more than 10,000 soldiers who lacked training and heavy equipment to fight against the 300,000 elites of the army.

Therefore, he can only accept this result with his eyes, but deep down in his heart he does not want to admit this fact. This incident can be regarded as the second failure in his previous life and this life. The first time he failed, he came here, the second time he failed, he didn't lose anything, and even won some good reputation, but it was not what he wanted.

On November 9, 1937, Yu Hongjun, the mayor of Shanghai, sent a telegram to the whole country and issued a letter to the citizens, announcing the fall of Shanghai, the largest metropolis in the Far East.

As soon as this news was disseminated, a huge wave of resistance was immediately spread throughout the country, and the literary and artistic youths gave up Shanghai when they still had the strength to fight again, and on the other hand, they raised their voices in solidarity with Shanghai, hoping that the people in all parts of the country would stand up and jointly resist the invasion of the Yue army, and at the same time hoped that the troops in various places could rise up to resist the enemy and expel the Yue Kou from China.

With the fall of Shanghai, the Battle of Songhu was basically over, and this damned battle was only over after the Nanjing political axe released the news of the fall of Shanghai.

However, before that, Su Dao didn't care too much about these things, and the key now is how to safely evacuate the more than 10,000 soldiers of the Reading Brigade. If the Reading Brigade is determined to die with the Kou, then there is no need to worry too much, it only needs to build this place into a slaughter field, and the more soldiers killed here, the more beneficial it will be to the war in the future of China.

But his purpose is to consider how to withdraw the troops from here safely, so it must be considered that once the army of this army draws the Reading Brigade into the encirclement, it will not be so easy to retreat at that time.

"Brigade seat, the troops have all entered the fortifications, and now the army in front of us has begun to be active again, according to the report of the scouts, it is estimated that in a day or so, the army will be able to surround us." Wu Zhongguo is also in a hurry now.

As the chief of staff, he naturally has to make a complete battle plan for the Reading Brigade, but the premise is that he needs to understand his true intentions from Su Dao, or the ultimate goal, only when he knows this, he, the chief of staff, will know it in his heart when formulating the plan.

Now let more and more things go to Wu Zhongguo to do, Wu Zhongguo was a little uncomfortable at the beginning, but now, I haven't learned anything else with our Su Da Brigade, and I have learned all the tricks and tricks. Anyway, the core of the current combat of the Reading Brigade is not to make mistakes in principle, and to deal with the enemy, there is no principle.

"In one day, then take twelve hours to resist the enemy and twelve hours to retreat." Su Dao didn't explain too much, and after figuring out these things, the rest of the things were easier.

After Wu Zhongguo received an accurate answer, he turned his head directly to his position and discussed with several staff officers who had been waiting there for a long time. These people were selected by him from the troops, and all of them were cultural people, and Wu Zhongguo also had plans to train them to become staff officers of various troops.

After all, being able to participate in the planning of major battles at the brigade headquarters is also a good way for them to exercise.

Huang Baoguo followed his squad leader closely, cautiously passing through a small forest, and there was a slightly larger forest in front of him, which was their destination. Huang Baoguo's original name was Huang Ergou, because he learned a little bit of culture after joining the army, he renamed himself Huang Baoguo.

After coming to the army, Huang Baoguo gave full play to his potential, and in just a few months, he stood out from thousands of people and was selected into the sharpshooter class that countless people wanted to enter. This squad belongs to the regimental sharpshooter class, and the battalions, companies and other units below also have a sharpshooter class, but their shooting level is much worse than that of the regimental sharpshooter class.

Huang Baoguo was followed by the sharpshooter squad of the 767th Regiment, and then two squads of soldiers were transferred from below, carrying two mortars and four machine guns as fire cover.

Because Huang Baoguo was born in Orion, the commanders also noticed his sensitivity after coming to the army, so they always let him serve as a pioneer in various tasks, and everyone knows that Orion's perception of danger is very strong, at least much stronger than that of these farmers.

Suddenly, Huang Baoguo, who was walking in the forefront, stretched out his right hand and pressed down hard, and the soldiers behind hurriedly squatted down, and then each found cover. Huang Baoguo quietly stepped forward, crouched on the ground and observed the situation ahead through the gap in the grass.

About two minutes later, Huang Baoguo quickly gestured to the rear, and then the rest of the soldiers scattered lightly, they had arrived at the mission destination, now they only need to hide themselves, and then wait for the final order.

More than ten minutes later, the sharpshooter squad of the 767th regiment hid at a distance of more than 300 meters from them, while the two firepower squads that followed behind, the two sharpshooter squads one for each squad. That is, now there are two points, each of which has twenty-four fighters, two machine guns and two mortars, as well as dozens of rifles.

The machine gunner quickly placed the machine gun on the temporary position, and the mortar gunner was looking for the mortar position, because this is the woods, it is not too easy to find a suitable position, and after looking for a long time, it was finally found with the cooperation of Huang Baoguo.

The old squad leader glanced at his pocket watch, which he got from the army when he was fighting in Shanghai, and it was very precious. When the hour hand pointed to 11:50, the old squad leader stretched out his hand and waved it forward, and then the twelve soldiers of a squad disappeared from front of him in a flash, and the two mortars and machine guns entered a state of readiness, the bullets were loaded, the angle of the muzzle was adjusted, and the shells were held tightly in their hands.

Huang Baoguo crawled forward on his own, this time the task was particularly arduous, the purpose was to destroy the artillery positions of the Yue army and destroy the artillery of the Yue army, so before the attack began, he could only try his best not to let the Yue army find himself, and when the large army began to attack, he would attack suddenly and destroy the target in one fell swoop.

The hour hand finally pointed to twelve o'clock, which was the time when the mission began, and at twelve o'clock, a red signal flare appeared in the sky above the rear position, and then the rear position burst into gunfire. The artillery was eating at this time, but after hearing the gunshots, they couldn't care about the hunger in their stomachs, so they threw down their rice bowls and quickly ran to their gun positions.

The main and auxiliary gunners quickly adjusted the muzzles, and the ammunition men opened the boxes of ammunition, took them out and handed them to the loader. After one of the soldiers opened a shell box, another soldier hurriedly stepped forward and cooperated with him to take out a black shell, which was so heavy that even if the two of them worked together, it would take a lot of effort to lift it.

'This is the time! Huang Baoguo said secretly in his heart, and even pulled the trigger in his hand.
