Luo Wenbing immediately observed carefully, and then took out a small notebook and pencil to draw all the things he saw, and there were at least a thousand people hidden at the foot of the mountain, on the mountainside, and on the top of the mountain, which must have exceeded the size of an infantry battalion. In addition to seeing German soldiers, he spotted a mortar position thirty meters ahead, about eighteen mortars.

Luo Wenbing estimates that maybe the German army is deployed here in a hurry, otherwise the German army on the hillside in front will not not arrange defensive facilities behind them, maybe the German army thinks that the top of this mountain is also a large area of thorn bushes, and it is extremely difficult for human beings to pass through this thorn bush, and if the large army wants to climb to the top of the mountain, it must be cleaned up on a large scale, if the Chinese army does this, the German army will definitely find out, so the German army did not set up a guard behind it.

Seeing that the Germans had mortars here, Luo Wenbing was not surprised. As far as he knew, mortars appeared in the Russo-Japanese War for more than ten years, but they were still very primitive at that time, and this time in the European theater, the German army first used a variety of new weapons against the British and French troops, including a large number of heavy machine guns, grenades, mortars and poison gas bombs.

The power of a dozen mortars was not to be underestimated, and he immediately recorded this mortar position, recording the German army's defenses, the number of troops, and the weapons one by one, and only after the complete record did he slowly slip down the trees, and then returned along the same road.

Heizi was relieved to see Luo Wenbing returning, and the two of them immediately walked back one after the other, returning faster, after all, a road had been cleared when they came.

The warriors saw that the two had returned. They all came out of hiding and squatted on the ground together, three warriors were in charge of guarding the perimeter, and the others were in a circle. Luo Wenbing said to everyone: "Fortunately, I insisted on watching it. There was indeed an ambush of the Germans on the slope of the hill on the back, and if I hadn't gotten to observe it closely, even the reconnaissance plane wouldn't have been able to spot it in the air! ”

One of the fighters asked: "Squad leader, how many people are the Germans hiding on the back of the mountain?" ”

"At least a thousand!" Luo Wenbing said a word, turned his head to look, and asked, "What about the guide?" ”

"In the back!" A soldier said as he bent over and turned over to bring the guide over.

"Ask him what are the names of the seats here" to reconnoiter the enemy. It is necessary to figure out the local place names, and at this time there is no condition to measure the height of these mountains, so you can only remember the names.

After an introduction by a local guide. Luo Wenbing quickly figured out the names of these mountains, and he wrote them down in a small notebook.

Then Luo Wenbing led the soldiers to retreat a few hundred meters, completely withdrew from the thorn bush within two hundred meters, and ate something to fill his stomach. Luo Wenbing said: "The situation has been clarified. I want to go back immediately and report the detected situation to the above, you stay and continue to observe the movements of the German army, Kuroko leads the team, you must be careful, do not make a movement to alarm the German army! ”

"Understood!"

Rowan joined up with the main force an hour later, and he gave a detailed report to the top of the reconnaissance, and the commander of the unit, having received the situation from the front, thought that the terrain and the German defensive disposition were like this. The only way to attack was to use bomber groups to bomb several hills that the Germans had deployed, and to take out German artillery and mortar positions, as well as heavy machine guns and other firepower points. Otherwise, a blind attack like this will cause a lot of casualties to your side.

The report of the bombing of the aircraft group was quickly sent to the desk of Wu Shiyou, the commander of the First Army Corps, and Wu Shiyou immediately approved the telegram and agreed to send a bomber group to bomb the German positions in the area.

Two hours later, twenty bombers, protected by ten fighters, took off from Izmir, Turkey, and flew directly across the Aegean Sea to Greece.

When the Germans heard the roar of the aircraft in the sky and found that the aircraft were flying from the east, but the sea was in the east, and the German officers and soldiers were wondering how the aircraft could fly from the other side of the sea, the Chinese aircraft group had already flown over several hilltop positions where the German troops were located.

This time, the Chinese army used long-range heavy strategic bombers, which could not carry out dive bombing, but could only drop bombs at a certain height, and a large number of bombs fell from the belliels of these heavy bombers like rain.

"Boom, boom, boom??????" The bomb exploded as soon as it hit the ground, and the explosion produced a large amount of flames, which flew everywhere and ignited a large fire wherever it went.

This is a gasoline napalm, the Chinese Air Force bombing generally rarely uses this kind of napalm, only when the enemy is defending the mountain and bombing large cities, the general frontal position offensive and defensive warfare is basically not used, the use of this napalm on the slopes of densely populated trees is undoubtedly much greater, this kind of incendiary bomb will burn all the trees after exploding, even if people hide in the mountain tunnel, they will suffocate to death because the oxygen is burned out.

A large number of napalm bombs exploded after falling, and several nearby hills were all bombed, and in the blink of an eye, all the hills were ablaze, although it was May, and the trees were damp and not easy to burn, but all this changed the routine when the napalm exploded, and the green thorn bushes, bushes, and a large number of trees were all burned.

The fire spread quickly, and the soldiers and officers on the German positions were engulfed in the fire before they could escape. The fire burned for a day and a night before it was extinguished, and in the process there were repeated explosions in the fire, which were explosions caused by German shells. According to the reconnaissance of Luo Wenbing, the German army deployed at least 6,000 troops here, and all of these 6,000 people died in the fire within this day, and not a single one escaped.

When the fire became smaller the next day, Luo Wenbing and his reconnaissance squad could still smell the smell of burnt meat when they crossed the road between the mountains, which made the soldiers can't help but feel nauseous.

After the reconnaissance troops left, the Greek division and the Greek guerrilla division came here, the Chinese commander gave them the order to clean up the battlefield, the Greek soldiers were ecstatic since they received this order, from the division commander to the small soldiers, they did not have many opportunities to clean the battlefield, cleaning the battlefield is a job that can make a fortune, so they came very quickly this time, lest they be too late to be taken away by others who took away the valuable items on the position.

When the Greek soldiers arrived at the scene, they were stunned, they found nothing of value, and the German positions were all burned to the ground, leaving nothing left on the battlefield except for charred corpses and bones scattered all over the mountain.

The joy in their hearts suddenly turned into deep disappointment, which made the Greek soldiers very uncomfortable, and the disgusting smell of burnt paste on the battlefield made almost all the Greek soldiers and officers couldn't help but vomit, the scene was already stinking, and now there were countless piles of vomit that stinked even more.

This made the Chinese commander who came later extremely angry, and the two commanders of the Greek division were called over by the Chinese commander for a very severe reprimand, and the two Greek division commanders could only spill their anger on their soldiers and officers after being taught a lesson, so the order was issued, and the two boys cleaned up the battlefield within the two boys, otherwise the military law would be engaged, and the Greek soldiers had to endure the stench of the sky to carry the charred corpses and bones, and discard them in the dug pit and bury them together.

For the next three days, the 26th Division of the Chinese Army did not put up any effective resistance. On May 19, the reconnaissance team arrived at the world-famous Hot Spring Pass. Thermal Pass is one of the most famous passes in Greek history. It is located in a narrow passage between Mount Kalizromon and the Gulf of Mariachos on the east coast of central Greece, with the sea on one side and a steep mountain wall on the other. There are hot springs near this village, hence the name Hot Springs Seki.

The hot spring pass is backed by the mountain and the sea, the terrain is extremely dangerous, and in 480 BC, the famous battle of the hot spring pass took place here. In that year, the king of the Persian Empire, Xerxes, led the navy and army to invade Greece, and the king of Sparta, Leonidas, led his army to resist at Thermopaes. Betrayed by traitors, the Persians surrounded and attacked from the mountain paths, and Leonidas dismissed the 7,000 Peloponnesians in the defenders, leaving only 300 Spartan warriors, all of whom were killed and thousands of Persians were killed and wounded. Along with the 300 Spartans, 400 Thebans and 700 Tersbians had asked to stay.

When the German-Austrian army learned that the Chinese army had landed in Greece, they immediately transferred three divisions of 50,000 troops from northern Greece to deploy defense in the area around Thermopylae, one of the three divisions was deployed on Thermopylae Pass and Calitz Lomon Mountain, and one division was deployed on the hills on both sides of the road southwest of Calizlomon Mountain, and the army of the Persian Empire was led by Greek traitors from here through the back of Thermopylae. There is also a division as a reserve ready to reinforce.

There is no pass and castle tower in Hot Spring Pass, just a narrow passage, and the Deao Liang army spent several days in this passage to build a lot of pillboxes with concrete, although in a hurry, the quality of the pillboxes is not very good, but it is a defensive facility, and a large number of infantry is deployed on the top of the cliff next to it to support the defenders of the pillbox below.

The German-Austrian army originally wanted to dig trenches here for defense, but they soon found that this would not work at all, this place was close to the sea, and digging trenches would quickly accumulate a lot of water, and the soldiers could not stay in the waterlogged trenches for a long time, so they had to abandon the idea of digging trenches and build pillboxes instead.

The German-Austrian army was ready to block the Chinese army here, but the Chinese army did not attack here according to the German-Austrian alliance's plan, but adopted more flexible tactics, and the Chinese army landed the 46th division in the Gulf of Mariachos behind the Hot Springs, and captured Lamia at a very fast speed, thus cutting off the retreat of the German-Austrian coalition troops stationed at the Hot Springs, which made the German-Austrian coalition troops in the Hot Springs Pass suffer from the situation of being flanked before and after, and the German-Austrian coalition troops were suddenly in turmoil, preparing to leave one division to garrison the Hot Springs, and the other two divisions broke through in the direction of LamiaThe 46th Division of the Chinese Army had no intention of blocking at all, but launched an attack on the German and Austrian divisions that were preparing to break through, which made the German and Austrian troops who were preparing to break through immediately stunned, and the German and Austrian troops were defeated instead, some of them were captured, and the remnants had to retreat to Hot Springs.

Three days later, the German-Austrian troops at Thermopylae Pass surrendered with a white flag. (To be continued......)
