"What's the situation?"

Xue Yue buttoned his buttons and strode out.

Since Longtouling discovered the whereabouts of the Japanese army, Xue Yue has not slept for several days and nights, and he really couldn't stay up in the early hours of this morning, so he went to the back room to take a nap, and not long after sleeping, he was awakened by a noise outside, and immediately got up and put on his military uniform, and walked out in a hurry with bloodshot eyes.

Wu Yizhi, chief of staff of the 1st Corps, stepped forward and couldn't help but say happily: "General, just now Wang Yaowu sent a telegram, saying that Zhang Lingfu's 305th Regiment marched nearly 100 miles last night and took Zhang Gushan in one fell swoop before dawn."

"Zhang Gushan?" Xue Yue didn't have a specific concept in his mind for the time being, so he asked, "Where is Zhang Gushan?" ”

As he spoke, Xue Yue had already walked to the map pasted on the wall, the map was still the same map, the one left by the Beiyang warlord Sun Chuanfang, but the dozen or so senior staff of the L Corps had made a lot of changes according to the local topography, except that some place names still did not match the field, at least there were no common-sense errors.

A colonel's staff officer quickly found Zhang Gushan's location from the map and pointed it out to Xue Yue.

Seeing Zhang Gushan's location clearly, a hint of joy involuntarily climbed up Xue Yue's eyebrows, good guy, as soon as Zhang Gushan is taken, little Japan's troop deployment, material transportation, or transfer and retreat will be seriously affected, and more importantly, Zhang Gushan's entire defense system of the Songpu Division has been cut off.

The so-called defense system is actually the transportation channel of troops and materials, for example, the entire defensive position of the 10th Pei Regiment of Little Japan between Changling and Wanjialing is an ellipse, and the attack force of the national army is an arrow that unfolds around the center of the east and west circles of the ellipse. This was also the main reason for the failure of the national army's offensive in the previous three days.

But now that Zhang Lingfu's 305th Regiment has taken Zhang Gushan, it has cut the ellipse of the Japanese army at once, and the Japanese army in the eastern semicircle wants to go to the west for reinforcements, and if the materials in the western semicircle want to be transferred to the east, it is not so easy.

Wu Yizhi noticed the hint of joy between Xue Yue's eyebrows, and said, "Boss, the opportunity has come."

"Hmm." Xue Yue nodded happily and said sincerely, "Even I didn't find out that there were such big loopholes in Little Japan's defense system, and Wang Yaowu was able to hang up the number there, it seems that he really has some ability." ”

Wu Yizhi hurriedly said: "The general seat didn't find Zhang Gushan, that's because he was not on the front line, and he didn't know the specific situation." ”

Xue Yue waved his hand, and instructed Wu Yizhi: "Chief of Staff, it will take time for all armies and divisions to enter the general attack, but Little Japan will not wait, and it will be more dangerous to fight back when it is dying, immediately send a report to the 5th Pei, remind Wang Yaowu, be sure to strictly order Zhang Lingfu to hold Zhang Gushan, two days, no, one day, I only need one day"

"Zhang Gushan, how could Zhang Gushan be lost?"

Almost at the same time, Junrokuro Matsuura also rushed to the headquarters of the L13th Infantry Wing, and asked Kenten Iino with a blushing face, Kenten Iino drooped his head, not knowing how to explain to Junrokuro Matsuura, saying that he only put a squad on Zhanggu Mountain? Saying that his nephew Nomura was negligent and careless?

Before dawn today, Junrokuro Matsuura was still in a good mood, seeing that the defense line from Wanjialing to Changling had been stabilized, and Commander Okamura had mobilized a heavy army cluster in the rear, as long as he held on for another three to five days, the situation on the entire De'an battlefield would be completely reversed, but Junrokuro Matsuura never expected that Zhang Gushan would be lost at this juncture.

Seeing that Iino Kenten hung his head and did not speak, Matsuura Junrokuro could only suppress the anger in his chest, because he knew that now was definitely not the time to hold him accountable, and the top priority was to quickly recapture Zhanggushan and reunite the entire defense system of the 10th Pei Regiment into a whole, otherwise it would be a big trouble when the national army launched a large-scale general attack.

Matsuura Junrokuro tried his best to calm his tone and said: "Iino-san, interspersed from the deep mountains and dense forests can only be a small army of the Shina Army, and the strength will definitely not exceed one regiment at most, and it is even likely that there will only be one battalion, so your wing must recapture Zhanggushan as soon as possible and open up the connection of the entire defense system." ”

"Hello." Ken Iino bowed heavily and turned around with a dark face.

On Zhang Gu Mountain, Zhang Lingfu was inspecting the position accompanied by his adjutant Zhang Xiaofu.

The 305th Regiment had just repelled an attack by Little Japan, killing nearly 100 of the enemy.

Seeing Zhang Lingfu coming, the officers and men of the 30U Regiment who were digging trenches put down their sapper pickaxes one after another, stood up and saluted Zhang Lingfu, Zhang Lingfu returned the salute while signaling the officers and soldiers to continue digging the trenches, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, dig the trenches deeper and repair them more reliably, we have to nail them to Zhang Gushan like nails, no matter how many people come from Little Japan, they don't want to take Zhang Gushan away from us"

A thousand years ago, we taught Little Japan how to write, and today we will teach them how to build fortifications, brothers, use the work in your hands to tell Little Japan what is the real fortification, what is the real earthwork."

"The brothers of the L battalion are all good, the trenches are dug wide and deep, the standard fortifications of the battalion are not bad than the teaching model of the Central Military Academy, the distribution of foxholes is very particular, and the construction of side-firing fire points is also very hidden.

Inspired by Zhang Lingfu, the officers and men of the 30U Regiment are obviously more energetic, and they are more energetic in building fortifications, which is also Zhang Lingfu's unique incentive method, he is not like the Communist Party's mud-legged officers who are full of foul language, nor are they like most of the officers of the national army who beat and scold people at every turn, Zhang Lingfu's favorite thing to do is to praise people, Zhang Lingfu's creed is that good soldiers are not only fighting, but also boasting.

After turning around and returning to the headquarters set up at the back of the mountaintop, Tang Shenghai, the deputy head of the regiment, stepped forward.

"Tuanzao, Daddy Shi told me just now that today will most likely be a sunny day, so the troops must be mentally prepared, and the little Japanese aviation will definitely fly over and bomb indiscriminately."

Zhang Lingfu raised his head and looked at the sky overhead, it was dark and gloomy, and the fog in the mountains had not yet dispersed, and there was no sign that it would be a sunny day today, but Daddy Shi was an old hunter who had walked in the mountains for many years, and his experience was definitely rich, but Zhang Lingfu was not concerned about this, and said: "The little Japanese air force is coming, and since the Sino-Japanese war broke out in full force for more than a year, have we been bombed by the little Japanese air force less?" That's it. ”

Tang Shenghai looked at the headquarters built with thatch and a few small trees, and said with some worry: "Tuanzuo, why don't you move the headquarters to the back of the mountain, I just found that there is a cave on the back of the mountain, although it is not deep, but it is no problem to accommodate more than a dozen people, it should be safer there...

"I don't need to." Zhang Lingfu flatly refused, "If I want to go to you, I have to be with the brothers, and I have to tell the brothers of the whole regiment with practical actions that their regimental commander is behind them, and if they die, their regimental commander will die, and if they live, their regimental commander will be able to live with them."

Tang Sheng's lips closed twice, but in the end he didn't say anything, because he knew very well that Zhang Lingfu had always been a character who said the same, and if he didn't leave, he would never leave, such as last year's defense of Nanjing, his arm was pierced and he didn't get out of the line of fire.

Without waiting for the 30U Regiment to repair its fortifications, the Iino Wing launched a second wave of offensive.

Kenten Iino was obviously enraged, and this time he actually invested more than 1,000 people in two brigades to launch a fierce attack on the northern heights of Zhanggu Mountain from two directions at the same time, and the machine gun fire of the national army on the top of the mountain was as dense as a storm, but the little Japan was still charging up the mountain in the face of the rain of bullets, and the Japanese soldiers in front fell down, and the ones behind immediately went up.

Xue Yue's prediction is reasonable, and Little Japan's dying backlash is really crazy.
