Chapter 12 Reconnaissance in distress

Wolf Forest. A market town in the north of Changjin Lake. A few hundred meters away from the wolf forest, the iron tower led the whole class to ambush here. Wearing thatched camouflage on their heads, they were carefully observing the situation in the wolf forest. From afar, a large number of Korean laborers were being driven by Japanese soldiers and were building fortifications.

Flower Face marked the exact location of the Japanese fortifications on the military map, and the tower held a telescope to look at it, and kept spitting out observations from his mouth.

"Damn, I thought there were bunkers here, but it turned out that the Japanese army was building fortifications, and little Japan probably guessed that we would attack!" Long Legs muttered quietly. The tower put down the binoculars and said, "The Japanese army is building fortifications, which means that they are in a hurry to organize a defense here." This information should be transmitted back immediately. The tower took the military map marked with the flower face, then put it in his arms and waved his hand, and the whole class of soldiers quietly left the observation place.

Everyone was hurrying away, and suddenly the soldiers shouted in a low voice: "Is there a situation? The whole squad quickly ducked into the grass beside the road. In a few moments, three Japanese soldiers appeared in front. One of them was an officer who walked in front, and two soldiers followed. The Japanese officer had two chickens stuck in his sabre and carried them on his shoulders, looking proud. Two soldiers carried rifles backwards and were wrapped in large bags, apparently the three Japanese soldiers had just returned from a robbery and returned with a full load.

Seeing the Japanese officer, Tie Tower's eyes lit up and he decided to catch a live mouth and go back. Tie Ta said in a low voice: "Long legs, flower face, you two deal with two Japanese soldiers, and I will deal with Japanese officers." See my gesture and act! "Three Japanese soldiers approached, the Japanese officer in front. Walking on his short legs, he was probably thinking about tonight's meal. In the eyes of the Japanese, the Korean Peninsula has been conquered. Therefore, their wanton robbery and adultery are almost commonplace.

It was close at hand, and the tower waved his hand and jumped out first. Suddenly a person jumped out of the grass on the side of the road, and the Japanese officer was startled. Before this guy could react, the tower slapped the Japanese officer on the neck, and saw the Japanese officer faint on the ground. Almost at the same moment. Flower face and long legs also quickly moved to the side of the two Japanese soldiers. Because the Japanese soldiers were carrying large bags and small wraps, their movements were very slow, and the two of them raised their swords and fell. Two Japanese soldiers lay in a pool of blood.

"Tie up this Japanese officer, I want to live." The Japanese officer still did not wake up after being tied up, and the tower was tall and strong, so he carried the Japanese officer and left. Walked a kilometer in one go. Come to a small stream. The tower decided to rest here for a while. The Japanese officers woke up and looked at them with fear and hatred, knowing that they had been captured by the Chinese army. After a short rest, he continued on his way, but the Japanese officer said that he would not leave.

If you don't leave, forget it, and you're still screaming. The tower had no choice but to knock him unconscious with one palm. Then he instructed the soldiers to make a stretcher and carry him away. Where did the tower think that their whereabouts were exposed and they were in a dangerous situation. Plus the Japanese prisoner did not cooperate. The return journey is slow and delayed, which increases the weight of danger.

The Japanese Defensive Command at Changjin Lake. Commander Ichiro Hatoyama is looking at the map. An adjutant came in to report: "Your Excellency, three hours ago, the patrol unit on the east side of the wolf forest found that two soldiers had been killed, and after inquiry, a squad leader was missing. "Who did that?" Hatoyama Ichiro was a little surprised when he heard this. "The two soldiers who were killed had their veins severed, and they were very skillful. The disappearance of the squad leader can be concluded to be the work of scouts from the Chinese army, apparently taking prisoners to spy on intelligence. ”

Hatoyama Ichiro looked at the map and said, "It seems that the Chinese army has entered the Changjin Lake area, how can this be that?" Stumped that the Chinese army is going to launch an attack on Changjin Lake? Hatoyama Ichiro looked at the location of Changjin Lake, Zuihou fell to the Jiechuan point, and suddenly a cold sweat broke out on his head and said: "At present, our fortifications are under construction, and the Chinese army is taking advantage of our unstable foothold to launch an attack. The front-line search troops were ordered to dispatch quickly, and the scouts of the Chinese army could not be allowed to send the information back. ”

The sound of horses' hooves was heard at the bottom of the hill, and the people stopped advancing and looked down the hill. I saw a group of Japanese cavalry appear on the dirt road below the mountain, and they marched very slowly, carefully searching the situation on both sides. "Damn, how can there be Japanese soldiers here?" Long Legs said in confusion. "Little Japan is missing, probably looking for it." Flower face for further analysis. At this moment, the Japanese officer, who was tied up on a stretcher, suddenly rolled out and rolled down the hillside. The sound alarmed the Japanese cavalry at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing that it had been exposed, the tower raised its hand and shot the Japanese officer with a single shot, and then shouted: "Grenade! Suddenly, more than a dozen grenades flew down. With the sound of the explosion, the tower waved its hand, and the soldiers quickly ran. After discovering the traces of the scouts, the Japanese army quickly mobilized more search troops, tightly sealed off all intersections, and carried out dragnet-style searches.

A canyon junction was guarded by Japanese soldiers, and the tower led the whole class to move here.

"Damn, there are Japanese soldiers here, too, making a big move, obviously coming at us!" Flower face road. "Squad leader, let's go around." Long-legged road. Tie Ta said: "The information must be sent back before noon tomorrow, otherwise it will affect the movement of the army." This is the nearest junction, and if we take a detour, it will be delayed. I decided to rush over after dark! Tie Ta took out the map from his bosom and solemnly handed it to Long Legs and continued: "After dark, I will lead the whole class to launch an assault, and then attract the Japanese army to the south. You have a small target alone, take the opportunity to cross the Japanese blockade line, and be sure to send the information back. ”

"Squad leader!" The long legs are in a hurry. Tie Ta comforted: "The Japanese army attaches so much importance to preventing us from sending the information back, which shows the importance of intelligence." You can rest assured that we will be alive! This is an order that must be executed. "After dark, the Japanese lit bonfires on both sides of the intersection. Tie Ta said: "Everyone Zuihou check the weapons and listen to my orders to attack." Everyone pinned a grenade to their waists, and once they were captured, they pulled the grenades, and the Japanese soldiers must not be caught alive. In addition, after the attack, be sure to blow up the bonfires of the Japanese army.

In the dark, Tie Ta held the long-legged hand and said, "It's up to you whether the information can be sent home safely." "Flower face also pulled hands with long legs." Brethren, cherish! With that, Long Legs slung his rifle to his arm and began to crawl forward, climbing to the nearest point and taking the opportunity to cross the blockade. The tower climbed to the position with long legs and shouted to attack, and the soldiers raised their guns to shoot, and several Japanese soldiers on the intersection fell to the ground.

After all, the Japanese army was prepared and quickly returned fire. The kung fu grenade shot into the sky, and with the sound of explosions, the bonfire was blown away, and the intersection was dark. Seeing a figure rolling over quickly, the tower knew that Long Legs had succeeded, and then ordered a retreat, with Japanese soldiers following in pursuit. As soon as Long Legs crossed the intersection and hid in the bushes, a group of Japanese soldiers came to support him with torches. It's dangerous. Long legs let out a sigh of relief. The Japanese lit a bonfire and found two wounded soldiers.

The Japanese soldiers cautiously stepped forward with rifles, and the suddenly wounded soldiers pulled the fuse, accompanied by a violent explosion, and tragically died with the Japanese soldiers. Seeing this scene, Long Legs closed his eyes in pain, and he prayed silently, squad leader, you must live.

The tower led the soldiers to escape from the pursuit of the Japanese army, and there were still 5 soldiers left in the count. In addition to himself, including Long Legs, 5 other fighters were killed.

In the darkness, the tower said decisively: "We will not go back for the time being, and we will fight in the heart of the enemy." I reckon that when the information is returned, there will be an attack soon, and we may be able to play a role here. "That's right! Listen to the squad leader, we don't go back. After Hua Mian finished speaking, he waved his hand, couldn't help grinning, and subconsciously covered his left arm with his left hand. Slimy blood stained the palms of his hands.

"You're wounded!" The tower found that something was wrong and asked with concern. "I was probably shot in the left arm, but I didn't hurt my bones." The flower face regains its calm. Tie Ta came over and tore open his sleeve with his hand and bandaged, saying, "The bullet is a penetrating wound, as long as it is not inflamed, it is not a big problem." I decided to move southeast, and the deeper I went, the safer it might be. Soon, their figures disappeared into the night.

The head of the regiment, Zhang Dashan, stood in front of him with long legs in rags, and saw that his beard was unshaven and his eyes were deep. "Your reconnaissance squad is doing well, this information is very important, I believe that the tower will come back alive." Zhuang Lei next to him echoed: "I also believe that the tower can return to the team smoothly." Zhang Dashan asked Zhuang Lei to take his long legs down to rest, and then ordered the communications officer to send the information directly to the military headquarters.

In the military headquarters, Zhong Hanli said: "The vanguard of the Third Army has occupied Hepingli and eliminated 2,000 Japanese troops in Heping. At present, the Third Army is threatening Xianfeng, and has formed an east-west echo trend with our department. The 4th Army, which is on standby in Zhongjiang, has already entered the DPRK and is advancing in the direction of Changjin Lake, so let's see how to capture the Changjin Lake area as soon as possible and form a strategic encirclement is the top priority. ”

The chief of staff said: "The 4th Army quickly moved towards Changjin Lake, ensuring the safety of our right flank, and we can attack with all our strength with our hands and feet." Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. As soon as the chief of staff's words fell, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside. Saying that Cao Cao Cao is coming, I estimate that the reconnaissance situation on the front line has returned. Zhong Hanli said slyly.

Sure enough, the Japanese army deployed in Wolf Mountain, and it was hastily deployed. Zhong Hanli said decisively after reading the information: "The Japanese army hurriedly built a defensive line, which shows that the Japanese army does not have a complete defense system in Changjin Lake, and our judgment has come true." Order the 1st Division to launch an attack on the Wolf Forest at dusk tomorrow, ask to break through the defensive line before dawn, and order the 2nd Division to seize Dongxingli and point at the Wolf Mountain, and the 3rd Division as a reserve. ”

With the issuance of the combat order, the fierce battle on the shore of Changjin Lake began. (To be continued......)
