Chapter 231 Now is not what it used to be Section 4 The nest is also a devil
Fan Daring has been fighting with the devil for more than six years, he feels that this devil is getting easier and easier to fight, or the devil in the first two years of 37 and 38 is really difficult to fight, that tactical literacy is not to say, when their county brigade ambushed the devil's food collection team in Baiyun Township, as soon as the gun rang out, the little devil quickly did maneuvering to seize the advantageous terrain, and within a few seconds, the bullets of the counterattack and the projectiles fired by the grenadier flew over, and they would fight with the devil, and they generally had to change places after a shot.
Later, the old devil will either be transferred to the south, or he will die and be wounded, and the recruits who will be replaced will slowly become veterans in the battle with the Eighth Road, but the Eighth Road is also growing, and the gap is much closer.
But just now, Fan Daring saw the panicked and chaotic appearance of the devil after the attack, and thought in his heart, no wonder Yan'an wants to let the base areas launch a counterattack against the devil, the devil is really a weasel and a bean rat now, and the generation is not as good as the previous generation!
The devil who came to the rescue took the Qingshui Wing that was surrounded by the horse post is far behind, Fan Daring has seen the corpse of the devil who was killed by the Qingshui United, and can recognize the scruffy beard on his face, as well as the calluses left by the gun in his hand, this is definitely an old devil soldier who has been a soldier for several years.
For example, in the battle of position with the Qingshui Wing in Datan, the veterans are different, as soon as the guns rang out, they immediately dispersed, and the machine guns in the back immediately fired suppressively, and the grenadiers and infantry artillery hit accurately and ruthlessly, none of them heard the gunshots and ran back, and then look at this guy devil, from the beginning of the mine at the entrance of the village, Fan Daring didn't see the devil have a decent counterattack after the firelight, they all ran down the mountain in groups with guns, and they were not much stronger than the imperial army.
No matter how much the nest is a devil, it must not be taken lightly, Fan boldly watched the devils retreat. The order was sent down, and the time should be seized to build a position, and the first thing to use the terrain to build a simple position was to repair the anti-artillery hole. Eat something and drink some water after work!
The soldiers still had food in their bags that were loaded in the logistics of the Qinglonggou Military Division. It was Yang Bangzi who took out the biscuits of the captured devils in the inventory and distributed a large bag to the soldiers of each special training camp. According to the portion, it is enough to eat at least three or five meals.
Go in a hurry, the biscuits in this satchel were frozen in the cold night, and they were originally made of couscous, and they were hard to bite and squeak, and they were squeaky when chewed. No, I can't swallow my saliva, and the water in the kettle is also a little icy, and Fan Daring also ordered that it is absolutely forbidden to make a fire with bright light, so that the hard biscuits will be a hunger fire with the cold water of the ice teeth.
The devils retreated for half an hour, and there was still no movement, Fan Daring watched the devil brigade in the valley stop, and the defeated devils went down to the bottom. I didn't come up again, wait, wait, wait, another half an hour has passed, and the soldiers here have finished repairing and eating. The devil still didn't move.
Fan Daring sent two groups of soldiers down to reconnoitre, and when they came back, they all reported that the devil was not leaving in the valley, the cars had turned off, and the tents had been set up! It seemed that the devils were planning to spend the night here, and in the dark they also thought that it was not good to attack the unknown mountain, so they simply did not leave and camped here.
That's good, the special training camp has traveled so far, it's a good thing that you little devil doesn't come up to attack! Just arrange for the fighters to take turns to rest! In this way, Fan Daring sent out three groups of scouts to closely monitor the movements of the devils, and the first and second companies began to sleep in shifts on the east and west positions.
After sleeping for a while, Fan Daring always felt uneasy and couldn't sleep well, so he simply got up and asked the staff officer to go down to check the lurking post to see the situation of the devil. The staff officer came back and reported that a batch of lurking posts had also been replaced, and that he had not noticed any unusual behavior of the devils, and that they were all sleeping.
Fan Daring was still not at ease in his heart, thought about it, and sent people to Shanliang to transfer the third company over, and set up defenses in the slope cliffs and other places further east of the ancient wall, and stationed there to rest.
This half-night is really weird! Sleep very steadily, people don't shout horses don't bark, the sky is bright, the devil camp under the mountain just began to live, this devil don't look at the war, the life is still clear and not ambiguous at all, get up in the morning to gather roll call, tidy up housekeeping, wash collectively, eat breakfast, and then the whole army is ready to go.
Fan Daring slept for two hours, and walked back and forth on various positions before dawn, the devils under the mountain have been assembled, and it stands to reason that it is time to put on a posture to fight, no, just fight in that team, I don't know what to wait for?
The soldiers on the mountain got up early to eat hot rice, and the comrades in the nearby places brought millet soup, steamed sweet potatoes, yam eggs, and so on to the mountain.
Fan Daring took a sweet potato and ate it slowly, looking at the devil under the mountain in the distance, wondering why the devil didn't go up the mountain yet, and didn't fire the cannon, what kind of medicine is this sold in the gourd? Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he shouted loudly, hurry into the anti-artillery hole! He also called the messenger to the positions of the second and third companies to inform them to enter the air defense trenches immediately!
Fan boldly guessed right! The devil under the mountain is just waiting for the plane to come! This group of devils is a nest, but the welfare treatment they should ask for will not be less at all, pouting their butts and using infantry to attack the eight roads that occupy favorable terrain, it is necessary to call for air support!
A few Japanese front-line destroyers flew in from the east, and after making a few circles over the iron camp and making contact with the ground troops, they swooped down with their wings diagonally in turn, bombarding small mountain villages and ancient village walls and other places, and flying back and forth arrogantly at ultra-low altitudes and strafing with machine guns!
At the same time, the devil infantry team that had been in line for a long time under the mountain began to move towards the mountain, all the way along the road, and the two roads climbed up the hillside on the east and west sides, just when Fan Daring was staring at the devil under the mountain in a hidden place and getting closer and closer to the halfway up the mountain, behind him, a small horn suddenly sounded!
Those who have military horns in each company of the special training camp use the military horn as an action order, and those who do not have a military horn use a small horn bought from the common people, that is, the suona of the trumpet, remove the reed on the mouth, and blow it as a trumpet, which is to blow ugly.
The three companies used this thing, all into the anti-artillery hole to avoid the bombing of the devil plane, left two soldiers on the position, hid to see the situation down the mountain, these two soldiers suddenly found that from the mountain col in the northeast of the third company's position, a large group of yellow devil soldiers, the movement of the third company rushed to the slope of the hill!
At this time, from the western ridge of Tieyingpan Village to the three-company position on the easternmost slope, the entire hillside was filled with gunsmoke and shrapnel bullets flying sideways, and the devil's planes shuttled back and forth, using small bombs and machine guns to destroy the Eighth Route positions by comparing the traffic trenches of the Eighth Route Positions crisscrossing the hillside.
That mournful little trumpet is a military order! Not to mention that there is a devil plane on your head, even if you get off the knife, you have to rush out of the anti-artillery hole to the position! The commander of the third company took the lead and rushed out of the shelter first, and the cat ran to the forefront along the traffic trench, and when he looked at it, the yellow devil was less than a hundred meters away! At the foot of the hill below the forward position, everyone who ran fast began to climb the hill!
See, the devil is not stupid! Last night, Kato Osa judged from the battle on the mountain that it was not the Dohagichi Road encountered during the day that they were holding them back, but that the regular troops of the Eighth Route must have arrived, and they attacked overnight, but the artillery could not provide accurate artillery fire, the terrain was not familiar, and the infantry could not be effectively deployed, so it was better to rest all night and fight again during the day.
On the one hand, he reported today's progress to the division commander in Beiping and asked that planes be sent to support him the next day, and on the other hand, he selected a squadron and, under the leadership of the traitors in plainclothes, drilled eastward into the ravine, trying to go around the front of Tieyingpan to the east to ambush them, and as soon as the planes bombed during the day, this roundabout force appeared to attack the flank of the Eighth Route position!
