The first snow of 1941 came a little earlier than usual, and it was only late October, and small snowflakes were falling in the mountains.

Yang Bangzi, who was looking at the terrain on the top of the mountain, looked at the gloomy sky, and a chill appeared on his face, and he was quickly numbed by the numbness of the small pieces of snowflakes that melted with the wind.

The first snow that arrived too early is not a good thing, the team is basically still wearing a single coat, a military uniform is either a coarse cloth shirt or a Han jacket, although the devil's military uniform is thicker than that of the Eighth Road, but to resist the cold wind and light snow, it is also poor.

The reason for Yang Bangzi's gloomy face is not the problem of the clothing of the 100th person in his squad, the entire Lingman Prefecture, which is now the 11th Army Division, has not yet put the winter on the agenda, and the snow is coming in advance, what can more than 100,000 villagers do?

In the past few days, I have been patronizing the march and fighting, and I haven't contacted the political commissar Hong, so I don't know what happened to the west? Are Kawaguchi Town and the villagers who walked the horse post safe? Yang Bangzi also felt that his superiors had appointed him as the commander of the military division, and he was very happy at the time, but now he finds that he still has peace of mind when he only leads soldiers to fight!

In the past, it was said that the rich were looking forward to the snow, and the poor were worried about the snow, which would be the root of Yang Bangzi's hatred for the snowflakes that God had given him in advance, but thousands of miles away in Moscow, the Soviet Union's old Maozi also snowed, and people were going to die of joy!

As soon as the snow fell, the road to Moscow became a big muddy road, and the German tanks and artillery vehicles were so muddy that they couldn't drive them, and the speed of the attack immediately slowed down.

Just a few days away, the German Central Tank Cluster could have been driven to the city of Moscow in one go. It was stopped by an early heavy snowfall.

And Yang Bangzi is mixed at the moment. The worry is that winter is coming early. The base area has been fighting for more than two months in the sweep of the devils, and the vitality has not yet recovered, and the cold winter is coming, and the long winter is an even more terrible opponent than the devils for the soldiers and civilians who lack food and food.

The good news is that the snowflakes are also a sudden opponent for the devils, and they have also not made preparations for the winter, whether it is military operations or logistics supplies, they will be delayed by this snow, especially in the mountains, and it is not conducive to the movement of devil soldiers carrying heavy equipment.

And the snowy devils will definitely retreat to the villages and fortifications they occupy. The usual routine field searches and patrols should be greatly reduced, and even stopped before the snow stops, so that Yang Bangzi and the others can quickly pass through the devil's blockade line.

Back in the ravine, this is better, the valley is more or less sheltered from the wind, the first snow is not so cold, the temperature is not immediately very low, the soldiers can still bear it with thin clothes, and the two devil captives are a little bad.

He has always been wearing eight-way clothes, and the military uniform made of homespun cloth is not as thick as the tweed military uniform of the little devil. They were also sitting there sleeping back to back just now, when the breeze came with snowflakes. They all woke up from the cold, and they shrank their necks and shivered.

After Yang Stick went down to the ditch, he checked the situation of the soldiers one by one, and they were all good, knowing the cold and the hot, they all wrapped themselves very tightly with the blankets or quilts in the captured devil's backpacks.

Seeing that the two devils were frozen, the snot was about to flow down, Yang Bangzi called Xiao Liangzi to bring his blanket, and Lao Feng also saw that the two devils had no luggage and backpacks, and also brought their own quilts.

Wrapped in blankets and quilts to warm up, but it is a little difficult to fall asleep again, Shimizu Dazuo is okay, after all, he has been in the Northeast for many years, and camping in the field is commonplace, but the prince is not good, he has more than Qingshui A wool vest, wrapped in a blanket and cold.

Yang Bangzi arranged a few soldiers to pick up some dry branches or something, and Lao Feng also said that you are crazy, you dare to make a fire during the day in the encirclement of devils, and when there is smoke, don't you report to the devils!

The old blind man and the second bald dragon laughed at Lao Feng, saying that it is okay to make a fire when it snows, as long as it is not a wet firewood smoke, the green smoke is scattered by the snowflakes along the wind, and it is okay to ensure that it is okay, if it does not snow, the smoke is quite conspicuous when it floats up, there are snowflakes pressing, and the smoke is not high.

Lao Feng still didn't believe it, and watched a few people find a stone nest to make a fire with disbelief, and sure enough, after the firewood picked up by the snow water was not soaked, the green smoke did not rise high, and it was melted away by the snowflakes.

Here began to boil porridge and drink, Yang Bangzi also asked him to take out the red pepper given by the villager in Houshiyu, boil the water and drink it for a while, the body is hot, and it is used to drive away the cold.

He pulled a few leaders to discuss the matter, and only then did he use a telescope to find that there was cooking smoke rising in Liu Gezhuang in Xiangshang in the northeast.

There is nothing else in this smoke, so Yang Bangzi judged that there were devils stationed in Liu Gezhuang.

And Liu Gezhuang to the north of Luo Gezhuang and the west of the mountain behind Jia Gezhuang distance, whether there are devils is unknown, to see from the map, Liu Gezhuang is just in the mouth of the river to the south of the central part, that is, across the two mountains and Guojiabaozi is an east and a west.

Yang Bangzi means that if you want to take the people of Guojiabaozi out, you can't go to the east, there is a plain and the flat line of the devil's army, and you can't go to the north of Tuonan and the estuary of the south can't go, Tuonan has a heavy defense, and it is ready to attack the first line of Huataling.

The south side has been tossed by them in the past two days, and there will definitely be a large army of devils from Shunping and Baiyun to reinforce them, and the only thing that can go is to cross the mountain beam and pass through Liu Gezhuang, and then wade through the quagmire of Xiwangzhuang, and go to the military camp town.

In this way, Liu Gezhuang's point must be controlled, whether to fight now or wait for the breakthrough time to fight, it is a matter for Yang Bangzi to discuss with everyone.

At the same time as the meeting, Yang Bangzi also ordered the telecommunications team to set up the antenna on the top of the hill and start listening to the devil's radio station, which was just in handy with the devil's communication book and code book seized at the mouth of the river.

Now Yang Bangzi is arrogant, two radio stations, one is a 15-watt assembled radio station given to him by the military region, and the other is a military radio station for the captured devil, which is also 15 watts, which is much stronger than the eight roads assembled by themselves, and the antennas are insulated.

According to the records in the communication book of the captured devils, they found the wavelength and call sign of the Japanese army's Baoding Headquarters and the radio stations of various field units in a few minutes.

Yang Bangzi and their side have not yet worked out a plan, a few telegrams that have just been deciphered were sent over, and sure enough, as Yang Bangzi expected, after the attack on Shiyu and Hekou Village, the 110th Division headquarters moved north to Baoding really judged that the Eighth Route had gathered a large force to fight the Japanese army in the mountains to the south.

Judging from the telegrams sent by Baoding to the three wings participating in the battle, they were all orders to hold on to the spot, assemble troops, and send out search and suppression reconnaissance detachments, and at the same time ordered the 139th Wing on the northern front to suspend its advance to Huataling and hold on to its position.

The order given to the 163rd Wing was to intensify the attack on Guojiabaozi, clear the remnants of the enemy and move south to join the 110th Wing.

Looking at it this way, you have to hurry to Guojiabaozi, and now the 163 Wing has begun to besiege the cottage.

After receiving three more telegrams, the devil changed the wavelength and call sign, and the telegraph team said that this must be the devil who found out that the radio station in Hekou Village was missing, and was afraid that the eight roads would intercept their telegrams, so they changed the wavelength call sign and password.

Of the three telegrams sent by Zuihou, only one was useful, which happened to be sent by the 110th Wing to the three subordinate brigades, which mentioned Liu Gezhuang and ordered Liu Gezhuang's garrison to suspend the clearing of the countryside and field searches, hold on to the village, and prevent the Eighth Road, which had escaped from the mountainous area in the east, from escaping from Liugezhuang to the west.

After reading this telegram, Yang Bangzi knew in his heart, Liu Gezhuang's devils received an order not to go out to sweep, which would specify that the troops that were being dispersed to other places were shrinking back, plus it was snowing lightly, it was a good opportunity for the team to bypass the village and advance eastward!
