readx; I don't know if the little devils believe in their own strength too much or what, when they are getting closer and closer to the sentry in front of the airborne division, they still haven't found the sentry hiding here, and is observing them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was a force of about 1,000 men, without any scouts, and what they had just seen was the two officers in the middle of the group smoking.

It doesn't look like a march at all, and it doesn't seem to know that the airborne troops of the 99th Army have appeared here, and everything makes people look abnormal.

"Battalion commander, the little devil's reaction is a little strange."

The captain who found the little devil in advance was called Xu De, and when the battalion commander led the troops of the whole battalion to arrive, Xu De reported with a tight frown.

"What's going on?"

Battalion Commander Shang Ru glanced at Xu De, and couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart.

He is still very clear about Xu De's personality, he is a good hand at fighting, although he is a little afraid of death, but he is by no means the kind of person who goes to rescue soldiers when he is a little troubled.

Now that the support troops are coming, Xu De said that there seems to be a problem, so the only thing that can be explained is that there is really a problem.

"It stands to reason that the little devil can't make such a low-level mistake, and he doesn't send scouts on the night march, but he keeps smoking, and everyone takes turns to smoke, and after smoking one, he changes to another person, and then lights it with a match."

Xu De hurriedly voiced his doubts.

He didn't believe that the little devil would make such a low-level mistake, and he just smoked, if he couldn't help it, he could use someone else's cigarette butt to light it, and then quickly hide the cigarette butt in his sleeve, so that there was no light outside, and a small puff of cigarette could not be seen at all in the dark night.

Instead of doing this, he lit a match with great fanfare, and while lighting it, he also made the sniper above see clearly that there were at least three or four soldiers around him.

And just now they were a little far away, and the sniper didn't see the situation behind clearly, but when the distance got closer and closer, the sniper realized that the whole team [***] had six bright spots.

What does it mean that there are two in the front, two in the middle, and two in the rear? Obviously, there wouldn't be just six people here, and from the moment the match was lit, there were several soldiers around each person, everyone was walking normally, and no one was around to cover it.

This made Xu De begin to wonder if it was a trap set by the little devils, they were not marching quietly at all, but deliberately let the 99th Army discover them.

"You mean?"

Hearing Xu De say that, Shang Ru's face suddenly changed drastically, and he suddenly arrived.

If this is the case, then the situation is not good, and according to Xu De's guess, the number of these people will definitely not be small, and their purpose is to be a bait to lure the Huaxia army in front to come out and fire at them.

If they can't hide all the time, then they will just take this opportunity to run directly to the front line to support, if the Huaxia army blocks them, maybe there will be a different number of little devils waiting next to them.

In short, it can't be fought, and it can't be fought if it doesn't work, no matter what, it's a good thing for the little devils, but it puts the 99th Army in a dilemma.

"Yes!"

Xu De nodded heavily, indicating that was what he meant, and other than that, he couldn't think of any behavior that could reveal their identities.

Since the little devil wants to be a bait, but he can't do it too obviously, people will be suspicious at a glance, in this case, smoking is the best way, use a small cigarette butt to tell the enemy his location, and use the moment he lights a cigarette to tell the enemy his approximate number.

If the 99th Army turns a blind eye to them and deliberately lets them go, then when these devils cross the defense line of the airborne division, they will immediately turn around and counterattack the airborne division.

At that time, the pressure on the airborne division will reach an unprecedented level, and for a unit that has not participated in the war, this is undoubtedly equivalent to the overwhelming of Mount Tai, and there is a possibility of collapse if you are not careful.

"Send a telegram to the regimental commander and tell him about the situation on our side."

When he guessed that the little devil might be engaged in a conspiracy, Shang Ru no longer hesitated and asked his superiors for instructions.

Based on the distance between the two cigarette butts, there should be about a thousand people if the two rows were full, which is also consistent with the results of their observations.

Although the battalion of Shang Ru, who is dealing with nearly a thousand people, is sure, there will be other devils hidden in the shadows around him, and once those devils join the battle group, it will be difficult for their battalion to resist for a while.

Night battles are something that every army does not want to encounter, and fighting in such an environment where no one can see who will make people have nothing to do at all, and they are afraid of hitting their own people when they shoot, and they can stab their own people without paying attention with a bayonet.

Those who say that some of the Chinese armies are gods of night battles or something are all nonsense, because they don't want to tell the truth, let alone let the people below see them all.

What is the god of night warfare, it is completely because although they will also have a lot of accidental injuries when they fight at night, but this will make the enemy feel afraid, and the effect achieved is better than that of daytime combat, so they call themselves the elite of night battles and the elite of a hundred battles.

To put it bluntly, it means that you can't do it during the day, and you take advantage of the night to quietly touch and engage in white-knuckle combat with people, either with machetes or kitchen knives, and some with bayonets.

Only when the equipment is backward, or when one side rushes to the position and the two people are very close to each other, will there be a white-knuckle battle, in addition, which country's army have you seen rushing up to play white-knuckle combat with you?

Did the Allies play WWII after the Normandy landings? In which war has there ever been a large-scale white-knuckle battle? People's equipment is advanced enough that they don't bother to play this with you at all.

Thomson has a lot, and before you have raised your bayonet, a few bullets have gotten into you, what are you playing?

"Battalion, the regiment commander called back and said that we should retreat to the position, and if the army continues to approach, he will start fighting, and he will transfer the other two battalions to prepare for support, and at the same time explain the situation to the brigade headquarters."

Soon, the communications soldier put down his headset and reported softly.

At present, the equipment of the 99th Army is also updated very diligently, which is enough to make all those armies feel envious, and the radio stations of many troops are only equipped with regiment-level units, but who would have thought that the wireless telephones of the 99th Army have already been equipped with company-level units.

Moreover, they have long since eliminated the old-fashioned radio stations of the grassroots troops, and the communications soldiers no longer have to follow the frequency of the band as before, quickly write down every character typed by the other party, and then translate it.

It was time-consuming, cumbersome, and not necessarily translated correctly, and now, everyone didn't think that it had only been a long time when they were still proud of the advanced radio station.

A more advanced wireless phone was equipped to them, without any telephone lines, the communication soldier only needed to carry a box similar to the radio station, and if there was anything to report, just pick up the headset and dial the number.

If there is anything that can be said directly, whether it is a communications soldier or not, everyone can play with this thing, and there is no need to translate or anything, and the content of what is said can be heard directly, which is convenient and trouble-free, and greatly increases the command efficiency of the grassroots troops.

Shang Ru waved his hand and signaled for the troops here to begin to retreat.

This was originally a sentinel observation point, and a squad of soldiers was scattered in a range of thirty or forty meters wide, and when Shang Ru came over, in addition to leading two communication soldiers, there were two soldiers, a group of five.

With the addition of this sentry squad, there are only twenty-one people in total, so there is no difficulty in retreating, but it is much easier.

When Shang Ru and his party retreated to the defensive line, the soldiers in the rear were as cautious as if they were facing a great enemy, and all of them lay on their stomachs in the trenches, loaded their bullets, and aimed at the open space in front of them.

This is also the reason why they chose their position in the first place, behind them is a small forest that is not too big, in front of them is a clearing, and further ahead is the cultivated land, the position is set here, even if they can't beat the little devils, they can quickly evacuate under the cover of the woods.

At the same time, they can also make small moves in the woods to make it difficult for the devils to pass through and cost them huge casualties.

The hour hand was beating rapidly, and as the minutes and seconds passed, the recruits were sweating profusely, and their hearts were pounding, as if they wanted to jump out.

Although this war was not intended to have the recruits as the main force at all, they still felt very nervous, and at this time they longed to spend the year like the year, hoping that the little devil would come back later.

Then the war dragged on like this, but unfortunately their wishes could never come true, and the recruits were unwilling, and the figure of the little devil gradually appeared in front of them.

As before, the little devil did not take a cautious attitude, but continued to smoke, as if to tell the airborne brothers on the other side that they are coming, and you can start fighting.

And judging from the formation of the little devils, this is very likely to be a conspiracy, but so what, regardless of whether he is a conspiracy or a conspiracy, this battle must be fought, even if there are countless little devils hiding next to them, they must fight.

Looking at the little devils who were walking towards them step by step, many recruits began to gradually speed up their breathing, and even began to tremble slightly.

Shang Ru was also a little nervous, he wanted to give the order to start the fight immediately, but he was afraid that this was a conspiracy, and the superiors had not yet given a specific order to start the fight, if he rashly started the fight, I was afraid that it would affect the deployment in other directions.

While holding the headset next to his ear, he quietly listened to the order of the regiment headquarters, and after a long time, Shang Ru finally received the order to start fighting, and he no longer hesitated at the moment, and directly ordered:

"Hit!" (To be continued.) )
