When Qiao Youhua distributed all the Japanese-style weapons to the more than 500 guerrilla detachments, Zhou Dasheng and the other guerrillas were all excited.

Holding the weapons that were distributed to him.,I can't put it down.,It's as happy as if they've all been assigned to a Japanese girl.。

The guerrillas, whose morale had soared, expressed that they would resolutely obey Qiao Youhua's command, fight the Japanese invaders to the end, and swear to defend Feiyunling.

After Qiao Youhua was appeased, he asked the cooking team to prepare food and drink for them, temporarily settled them on the mountain, and helped build the third defensive position by the way.

With their joining, the officers and soldiers of the original Dragon Tooth Task Force were able to free up their hands, and Qiao Youhua transferred them all to the first line of defense that was still being repaired.

More than 500 officers and men of Longya all started to work, and the progress of excavation and construction of the position became extremely fast, and by the afternoon, the construction of the position had been basically completed.

After all, there were trenches and fortifications dug by devils and puppet troops here, which saved a lot of effort from the officers and soldiers of the dragon's teeth.

At the same time, the main force of the 12th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army finally came to the boundary of Feiyunling under the command of Ichiro Kato.

"Chief Kato, the total strength of the people of Feiyunling is only five hundred, after yesterday's battle, although the imperial army suffered heavy losses, they also have a lot of battle losses, now I estimate that the strength will not exceed three imperial squadrons.

Please ask Chief Kato to give the two squadrons to the lowly position, and the lowly position will definitely break through the outer defense line of the people of China at any cost! Atonement for meritorious service, please, sir. Outside Feiyun Ridge, in the temporary command post of the Japanese army, Hayashibe Nakasa, who was still wearing a guilty body, bowed his head to Kato Ichiro and bent down with a sincere face.

"Very good, Lin Bianjun, it's rare that you have such determination, I'll give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, give you two infantry squadrons, and the artillery brigade can provide you with artillery support at any time, I hope you don't disappoint me and General Suzuki!" Ichiro Kato pretended to be silent for a while and spoke.

"Hay, thank you Chief Kato, please rest assured, if you don't win this time, you will never come back alive!" Lin Bian Zhongzuo bowed his head sharply and said with a grateful face.

…………

Soon, Hayashibe Nakasa quietly set off with two squadrons and nearly 400 Japanese troops, and came to the Dragon's Tooth Task Force's newly constructed outlying positions and minefields.

A dragon's tooth sentry hiding in the woods by the roadside was the first to spot them, and immediately quietly turned his head and ran back to report.

When Qiao Youhua heard the news, he immediately ordered his troops to hide in the trenches and prepare for battle.

As Qiao Youhua guessed, Lin Bian Zhongzuo, the old devil, subconsciously thought that the position of the Dragon Tooth Task Force's defensive line in Feiyun Ridge was still in yesterday's position.

Unexpectedly, under the condition of insufficient troops, Qiao Youhua would actually talk about the outer defense line to advance nearly a thousand meters, and directly repaired the sortie position of the Japanese puppet army yesterday.

Therefore, Lin Bian took nearly four hundred devils through the rugged and difficult mountain road, and was about to continue to advance, but he was caught off guard and plunged into Qiao Youhua's newly arranged minefield.

Boom Boom Boom ...... A violent explosion burst into the ground, and Lin Bian Zhongzuo, who was in the lead, was directly killed on the spot by a mine.

The huge explosion blew half of his body into a bloody blur, flew two or three meters off the ground, and fell heavily to the ground.

Nearly 400 devils were killed on the spot, and more than a dozen were injured, and the remaining devils were shocked and frightened when they saw that Lin Bian Zhongzuo, who led the team, had been blown up, and they didn't know whether to advance or retreat for a while.

Qiao Youhua squatted in the trench and smoked, Zheng Yunshan next to him quietly showed his head to look out of the trench, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile to Qiao Youhua: "Regiment leader, the devils were killed a lot by the mines we planted, and the rest didn't dare to move forward." ”

"Wait patiently, the last thing we need is time." Qiao Youhua smoked his cigarette.

"Commander, the devil has retreated." Zheng Yunshan said suddenly.

Qiao Youhua threw away half of the cigarette butt, turned around and got up and picked up the binoculars, looked in the direction of the minefield, and sure enough, he saw hundreds of devils carrying the corpses of more than a dozen devils and some wounded soldiers and retreating back the same way.

"Pass my order, no one is allowed to show their heads lightly, the devil doesn't know our reality now, and if he wants to attack in a big way, he has to toss a lot of time." Qiao Youhua put down the binoculars and continued to squat down.

…………

"What? Lin Bianjun was blown up? Baga Tooth Road, this waste! In the temporary headquarters of the Japanese army, Kato Osa was shocked and angry after listening to the report of his subordinates.

"Sir, the people of China have deployed a minefield outside the mountain pass, and we don't know how large the minefield is, if we attack rashly, the losses will definitely be great!" A devil captain bowed his head and said.

Kato Ichiro stood up, walked back and forth for a moment, and suddenly said: "Order the artillery brigade to carry out a covering artillery strike on the minefield range of the Shina people, and destroy the minefield of the Shina people with shells!" ”

"Sir, I'm afraid we'll waste a lot of precious shells!" The other devil captain on the side was a little embarrassed, he was the only captain of an artillery brigade in the 12th Mixed Brigade.

Since Japan is an island country with scarce resources and most of them need to be imported, steel shells are very precious strategic materials, and they will not be used lightly unless they are forced to do so.

Especially for a target that has little value such as bombarding a minefield, it is simply a waste. That's why he said a little distressed.

"Baga, do you think that the lives of the warriors of the imperial army are not as good as those steel cannonballs?" Ichiro Kato was very angry at the idea of the miser of the artillery brigade.

"Sir, please calm your anger, this is not what the lowly position means, the lowly position means that to deal with the minefield of the Chinese people, there should be an engineer unit to solve it.

If it is to bombard the defensive positions of the Chinese people, light and heavy machine gun fire points and other relatively high-value targets, then the use of artillery shells is naturally understandable.

However, it is only used to bombard the minefield of China, whose depth and density are not clear, and I think it is a little too hasty, what if the people only planted a few mines?

Even if the number of mines planted by the people of China is quite large, it is not equivalent to the shells of the imperial army, so it is to take the jade pendant and die with the tiles.

Perhaps the analogy of lowly office is not quite appropriate, but please think twice, Your Excellency. The captain of the devil artillery group hurriedly bowed his head and stated his opinion.

Seeing this, another devil infantry captain said: "Chief Kato, I think that what the artillery brigade said is right, besides, the effect of bombarding the minefield with shells is not very good, unless it is covered by a large density, it is difficult to completely destroy the minefield."

And the large density of artillery fire will be extremely consuming of artillery shells, which will cause great difficulties to our already small artillery reserves, and the pressure on logistics and transportation will also be doubled.

Now the supplies are being prioritized to the front-line troops in Xuzhou, and once our shells are exhausted, we may not be able to replenish them in time.

Therefore, the lowly also believed that good steel should be used on the blade of the knife, and the shells should be used sparingly. ”
