When the Fifth Military Region made a big fuss about the Sixth National Border Position, Meng Qingshan led the main force of the Anti-Japanese Federation to the Jinhe Grand Canyon in Heihe, which is located in the Xiaoxing'an Mountains, the middle reaches of the Shijin River, a tributary of the Heilongjiang River, about 10 kilometers long, and the deepest part of the canyon is more than 100 meters.

Yu Baohe, who had just entered the temporary headquarters and set up a radio station to contact Zhou Baozhong at the headquarters and monitor the surrounding radio stations, came over and handed a piece of paper to Meng Qingshan and said: "Commander-in-chief, just now we have heard a telegram on the radio from the Japanese Kwantung Army's Heihe Province Sixth National Border Position and the Seventh National Border Position. This is also the Japanese puppet army telegram that we deciphered with those captured Japanese codebooks. ”

"What was written in the telegram was that a large number of anti-Manchurian armed forces had been found in the Sixth National Border Position, wantonly destroying cities, strongholds, and pioneering regiments in the territory, and for this reason, Major General Hamada Tonosuke, commander of the Japanese Sixth National Border Force, requested Lieutenant General Otozaburo Yano, commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army's Kurokawa garrison, to send reinforcements to encircle and suppress the anti-Manchu forces in the territory."

"On the telegram, Otozaburo Yano told his subordinate troops the strength of the two infantry brigades of the 26th Mixed Brigade of the Seventh Army Border Garrison of the Japanese Army stationed in Heihe, the first section of the puppet Manchurian cavalry in Heihe, and all the forest police units and railway police in Heihe to encircle, pursue, and intercept our Fifth Military Region."

"The specific deployment of the Japanese puppet army is still unknown to us. However, one thing is certain now, judging from the fact that the Japanese puppet army has mobilized at least 3,000 troops to destroy the Fifth Military Region this time, I suspect that it will be difficult for the current Yanono Otozaburo to draw troops from the position on the Seventh National Border. He can only withdraw the troops across the river from our four divisions. ”

Hearing Liu Yalou's report, Meng Qingshan said with a smile: "Chief of Staff, it seems that the Fifth Military Region is making trouble in the belly of the little devil this time. I had to ask Yano Otozaburo for help, and Yano Otozaburo really cooperated with us to really transfer the troops in front of us back. As long as he dares to bring it back, we'll eat it. ”

"Yes! As long as these little devils are eliminated, the main force of the Fourth Division can be drawn out to support other places, and there is no need to defend here, and as long as the strength of one regiment is left behind and the militia troops in the base area can hold here. Liu Yalou said.

"Chief of Staff, did the special operations team come back from its reconnaissance?"

Liu Yalou shook his head and said, "Not yet." But they've been gone for almost half a day, and they should be back soon. ”

"Report to the commander-in-chief and chief of staff, after the reconnaissance report of the special operations brigade, nearly 2,000 Japanese troops carrying two mountain guns are moving under the cover of part of the cavalry, divided into three echelons. The echelons are separated by two miles, and there are still about 40 miles from here. ”

"So fast! It seems that the little devil attaches great importance to the Sixth Border? Otozaburo Yano, this is going to be desperate. Meng Qingshan was not surprised by the number of devils, and quietly thought about the battle examples he knew throughout the ages, what method could be used to eliminate this group of enemies with a small number of casualties, and he knew that in the near future, the base area would face a battle of life and death.

"Stop the waist" Meng Qingshan suddenly came out with a word, and shouted excitedly, startling Liu Yalou and Wang Xiaoming next to him.

"Commander-in-chief, do you want to use the method of blocking the waist and cutting off the tail?" Liu Yalou asked.

"Yes, it's a backstop." Meng Qingshan said.

Liu Yalou looked at the map, thought for a while, and nodded. stretched out his big finger to Meng Qingshan and said with a smile: "Commander-in-chief, you still react quickly." And Wang Xiaoming on the side looked at the happy commander-in-chief and the chief of staff who nodded next to him with a confused expression.

"Immediately order the commanders of the various units to come to the meeting." Meng Qingshan immediately ordered the communicator.

When the commanders and fighters of each regiment came over, Meng Qingshan directly ordered: "Due to the urgency of time, I won't say more, now arrange the combat mission: Shen Qingshan, you lead the second regiment of the guard brigade to the Shijin River." Choose favorable terrain and arrange blocking positions, and be sure to deploy defenses in echelons. Don't fight hard in one place, set up a few more lines of defense. The 1st Squadron of the Special Combat Team moves with you and cooperates with you from the artillery regiment. Be sure to stop me from the enemy. Act now. ”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." After saying that, he walked directly out of the headquarters.

"The 3rd Regiment of the Guard Brigade, the 10th and 11th Regiments of the Garrison Division, the Special Operations Brigade and the Artillery Regiment are hidden on both sides of the canyon. Remember, we must carry forward the firepower superiority of our army, all heavy firepower should be arranged in the first line, and heavy machine guns and mortars should be arranged in a centralized manner, and the design angle should be measured in advance, and it is required that no dead ends be left. It is necessary to defeat the Japanese army in the first place, so that they have no chance to resist. Hear clearly. ”

"Hear me."

"Hou Guozhong, you lead the cavalry regiment to ambush here, and when the front is engaged, lead the cavalry regiment to destroy the follow-up troops and baggage teams of the Japanese army."

"Guaranteed to get the job done."

"Okay, immediately arrange for the troops to hide, the enemy will come soon, remember, you must wait until the first and second echelons have passed, and you can hear my guns firing." Looking at the cadres who came out, Meng Qingshan collected his heart and Liu Yalou walked out of the headquarters.

"Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Staff, the enemy is coming." A battalion commander next to him reminded that Meng Qingshan was lying on a small hillside above the canyon at this time. Meng Qingshan raised the binoculars, and sure enough, the enemy was very cautious, and the scouts were placed one mile away from the road. More than 200 people in the first squadron of the enemy army walked forward in two columns neatly, and in this way, they walked for half an hour before disappearing from Meng Qingshan's field of vision.

Liu Yalou saw that the Japanese advance troops had already gone away, and sat down: "Commander-in-chief, what do you say we should do after we win this anti-encirclement and suppression?" ”

"If we win, we will strengthen the team, and when the time comes, we can send some elites to form a small detachment to go to the enemy's rear, and re-form the original anti-union secret battalion, so that we will not be so passive, how about it." Meng Qingshan saw that Liu Yalou's battle had not yet been fought, so he was thinking about what would happen after the victory, and replied with a smile.

"Commander-in-chief, I'm afraid you have already thought about this matter, Fang Zhensheng's special operations brigade was formed by you to fight back to Changbai Mountain!"

"As the chief of staff, I have not hidden this little thing from you, in fact, I also have a lot of worries about the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army this time, according to the information we got is about 40,000 troops, but in fact, I think the Japanese army will draw more troops, you must know that we belong to the Sun Monkey in this year, the little devil is determined to solve us this time, with our current strength to resist the enemy and outside the country is simply impossible, we can only put the little devil in and gradually attack them, once the Japanese army enters the base area, With their ferocious nature, the base area will definitely suffer no small loss. ”

"Commander-in-chief, don't worry too much, from the Japanese army's march route this time, the Japanese army's target this time is us, not the people, we just need to withdraw the people in the route, and the people in other places live in the mountains, presumably the Japanese army will not waste time to do such a thing, after all, the Japanese army consumes a lot of materials every day is not a small amount."

"Commander-in-chief, the second echelon of the little devils is here." The little tiger next to him interrupted Meng Qingshan, who was talking.

Looking at the second echelon of the Japanese army in the telescope, sure enough, as Meng Qingshan thought, the Japanese army did not send search troops except for sending a squadron in front as a spearhead, obviously in a hurry and ignoring the terrain here, from a distance, it seemed that about a Japanese army brigade was marching in a queue to the ambush site, in order to mobilize this group of Japanese troops, Meng Qingshan deliberately let the Fifth Military Region enter the hinterland of Heihe to make a fuss, in order to mobilize this force.

The waiting time passed really slowly, and finally the enemy army of the second echelon appeared in the sight of Meng Qingshan and the others. The soldiers next to him had already pointed their guns at the Japanese soldiers who were marching, and the artillery units had already set their positions to wait for orders, Meng Qingshan quietly loaded the rifle in his hand and aimed at the first enemy soldier who hit the head.

"Commander-in-chief, the special operations team reports that all the devils have entered the ambush circle." Due to the seizure from the Japanese army and the procurement from Jiangbei, Meng Qingshan's troops had already used field telephones to contact them. (To be continued.) )
