Xu Shijiu patted Li Mu on the shoulder, turned to Gao Shenxing and the three battalion commanders, and asked, "Fujitang Gaoying sent the gendarmerie and the puppet army Longkou mixed brigade back to Hulu Valley, what do you think?" ”

Li Zihan said: "The mixed brigade of Yan Sanquan does not have to be considered, although Niu Sigen, the bastard, turned his back on the captain, but he did not dare to fight with us, without Niu Sigen's men and horses, only the original three or five hundred plainclothes team of Yan Sanquan could not withstand anything at all, so the only thing that needs to be considered is the gendarmerie brigade of the old devil of Haneda." ”

Lu Jianbang said: "Our target is the artillery brigade of the Fujitang Brigade, so it is best to transfer the gendarmerie brigade of the old devil of Haneda first, after all, we only have the strength of the regiment, if we are head-on with the Haneda brigade, it is absolutely impossible to end the battle in an hour and a half." ”

"The Haneda Brigade was specially sent back by Fujido Takahide to protect the artillery brigade, so it is absolutely impossible to transfer them away." "I'm afraid we have to be mentally prepared to go head-to-head with the Haneda team. ”

"Head to head is head to head." Li Zihan said, "The Haneda Brigade is still not comparable to the several main infantry brigades of the Fujitang Brigade, not to mention that compared with the Haneda Brigade, our 19th Detachment still has an absolute advantage in terms of strength and firepower, afraid that he is a bird?" Captain, give the order."

The 19th Detachment now has three battalions left, with more than 1,500 people, but the Haneda Brigade has only about 700 people, and the 19th Detachment is twice as large as the Haneda Brigade in terms of the number of troops.

In terms of firepower, the 19th Detachment also had a small number of 92 infantry guns and RUmm caliber light mortars, each battalion was equipped with a heavy machine gun platoon, and each squad was equipped with a crooked handle or imitation of a Czech light machine gun.

Therefore, the firepower of the remaining regiment of the nineteenth detachment was greatly strengthened.

It is precisely because of this confidence that it is no wonder that Li Zihan does not take the Haneda Brigade seriously.

Xu Shijiu said: "What Lao Lu said just now is right, our target is the artillery of Little Japan, so it is better not to confront the Haneda Brigade head-on." After speaking, Xu Shijiu asked Li Mu again, "Xiao Mu, before you come back, did the Haneda Brigade reach the Hulu Valley?" ”

Li Mu replied: "I waited until the Haneda Brigade and the Puppet Army Longkou Mixed Brigade arrived and began to prepare for the camp before I left." ”

Xu Shijiu said: "Then can you draw a rough defense map?" ”

"Yes." Li Mu nodded, bent down and picked up a piece of charred firewood from the bonfire, painted it on the cave wall, and explained while drawing, "Everyone has been to the gourd valley, it is like a big wine gourd, the Haneda brigade is stationed in the gourd, the puppet army Longkou mixed brigade is stationed at the bottom of the gourd, and the little Japanese artillery is hidden in the gourd's belly. ”

Xu Shijiu immediately perked up and asked Gao Shenxing: "Old Gao, I remember that your 5th Brigade has been stationed in the Hulu Valley for a long time, and you are familiar with the terrain there, can you help me recall, is there a mountain beam that goes out inward on the inside of the gourd mouth?" ”

"Yes, there is such a mountain beam." "But it's only twenty or thirty meters high." ”

"Twenty or thirty meters tall is enough" Xu Nineteen slammed the knot, and then stood upright, "Now I order"

Gao Shenxing, Li Zihan, Li Shuanggun, and Lu Jianbang all brushed and stood upright.

Xu Shijiu's gaze first fell on Li Shuanggun's face, and said: "Tomorrow at four o'clock in the morning, the battalion must seize the nameless mountain beam in the gourd's mouth on time, and then nail me there like a nail, even if the entire battalion is exhausted, we must not let the Haneda Brigade pass in front of you." ”

"Yes," Li replied loudly.

Xu Shijiu turned his gaze to Lu Jianbang again, and said: "The task of the 3rd battalion is to monitor the puppet army mixed brigade at the bottom of the gourd. ”

"Yes" Lu Jianbang also snapped upright, and his eyes widened in response.

Xu Shijiu's gaze fell on Li Zihan's face, and said: "The task of the L battalion is the most arduous, your battalion is responsible for the main attack on the Hulu Valley, and the artillery of the small Japanese is completely annihilated within one hour. ”

"Yes" Li Zihan snapped upright, and responded loudly with his neck stalked.

Xu Shijiu waved his hand again, and the three battalion commanders turned around and left.

Xu Jiu had time to ask about the injury on Gao Shenxing's body, and asked, "Old Gao, the injury on your arm is not in the way, right?" ”

In the past six days, the 5th Brigade was naturally not idle, and the Ohara Brigade launched a desperate battle again and again, although the 5th Brigade now has only four people left, and the little madman was also forbidden to participate in the battle by Gao Shenxing, but in the confrontation with the Ohara Brigade, the 5th Brigade still had the upper hand.

At the end of the day, special operations are fundamentally different from conventional operations.

In conventional warfare, there are many factors that affect victory or defeat, the use of tactics, the level of training equipment, and the use of terrain are all very important, and the main factor is the number of troops, and the Japanese army has an absolute superiority in firepower, but it has not been able to defeat the national army until now, because there are many national soldiers.

But in special operations, the number of people is no longer the decisive factor, in the complex jungle, more people does not mean that Liliang is stronger, especially in the face of Gao Shenxing, Li Mu, Noguchi and other military kings, more people mean more live targets, but will greatly increase their own casualties.

Therefore, after six consecutive days of fighting, the Ohara Brigade lost more than a dozen people, but the 5th Brigade did not lose a single person, and Gao Shenxing was shot yesterday and bruised his arm.

"It's okay, just a little bit of a fur injury." Gao Shenxing shook his injured left arm and said with a smile, "Jiaxi has already bandaged me just now." ”

Xu Shijiu patted Gao Shenxing on the shoulder and said, "Tomorrow's battle, don't participate in your 5th Brigade, you go to Qinglongzhai to rest first, and then have a good time with the Ohara Brigade." ”

"Okay." Gao Shenxing readily agreed, tomorrow's battle, the 5th Brigade will not play a big role, because on the frontal battlefield, the role of the king of soldiers is not much greater than that of ordinary soldiers, if he is hit by a bullet, he will be directly reimbursed.

(Dividing Line)

As soon as the white dew passed, the weather became colder and cooler day by day.

When the cold dew arrives, the cold in the mountains is already very heavy, and you have to bake the fire when camping in the wild at night.

Niu Yutang picked up a few dead branches and threw them into the bonfire, and asked Niu Sigen, who was sitting on the other side: "Big brother, it's been six days, and the nineteen teams haven't confronted Little Japan head-on, do you say that Xu Nineteen is afraid of Fujitang Gaoying?" ”

"Afraid?" Niu Sigen said, "Xu Shijiu is not a master who is afraid of things, the reason why he is reluctant to confront Fujitang Gaoying head-on is just because the time is not yet ripe. ”

"You mean, Xu Nineteen is waiting for an opportunity? What kind of opportunity is he waiting for? Niu Yutang asked.

Niu Sigen looked at no one on the left and right, and said in a low voice: "Maybe tonight, the nineteenth detachment will come to fight Hulu Valley." ”

"Huh?" Niu Yutang was taken aback when he heard this, and said hurriedly, "Big brother, then we have to hurry up and prepare, don't really let the nineteen detachments sneak attack." ”

Since the fight against the water, Niu Yutang has never slept at night.

Even in Yanjia Town, under the heavy protection of Little Japan, Niu Yutang did not sleep at night, because he knew that the nineteenth detachment had several king-level figures, whether it was Gao Shenxing, Li Mu or Noguchi, any one of them could kill people invisibly.

After entering the mountain this time, Niu Yutang was even more afraid, and every night when he was stationed in the camp, he would let a few guards guard outside his tent 24 hours a day, lest Xu Shijiu be angry, so he sent Gao Shenxing, Li Mu or Noguchi over to take his head.

"What are you panicking about?" Niu Sigen was as calm as ever, and said lightly, "Even if the nineteenth detachment really comes to attack Hulu Valley tonight, their target is Ikeda's artillery brigade, as for us, as long as we don't take the initiative to provoke them, they will definitely not do anything to us." ”
