Chapter 245: Snow Wolf Calls Avalanche
When the Xuebing Army was building a gallows for Okamura Ningji outside the south gate of Fengxin under the command of Ouyang Yun, the cavalry unit of a brigade belonging to the 10th Division of the 2nd Army of Xiao Shouzo in Baicha Town on the north bank of Xiushui carefully crossed Xiushui, and then launched a search in the area of Jiangshang Township with a squadron. The geographical location of Jiangshang Township is very dangerous, the southwest direction is steep mountains, and the northeast direction has the natural danger of repairing water, if it is not for the cold and freezing, the Japanese army wants to cross the river from here, and the student army can firmly hold on to one brigade at most.
Heavy snow closed the mountain, and Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the 2nd Army's joint command for southward reinforcements and division commander of the 10th Division, was worried that the Cadet Army would take advantage of the terrain to set up an ambush, so he was extremely cautious in command. The search lasted twenty minutes. Then, after confirming that there was no enemy ambush, the commander of the cavalry brigade, Namizu Shosa, sent a communications soldier back to the north bank to report the situation to Yoshio Shinozuka, while he gathered his troops and drove east along Shusui.
The sound of horses' hooves gradually drifted away, while the ice surface of the Xiushui River between Baicha Town and Jiangshang Township became lively. One tank brigade drove first on the ice, then two armored vehicle brigades, then tens of thousands of infantrymen. The civilians of Shanshang Township had long since retreated into their houses, and they hid in fear in their houses, listening to the strange noise coming from the ice of the Xiushui River, not knowing what these would bring to them.
On a hill cliff about 1,500 meters away from Yamagami Township, a frozen snow was thrown open by the footprints of the cavalry of Hayakawa's brigade, and then a helmet wearing a white cloth cover poked out. Under the helmet was a young pale face, and the two slightly dull eyes on the young face turned around, and a voice of self-muffled sounded: "Bad food!" ”
It was a wolf tooth under the command of Lu Zhibai, and earlier Hayakawa Nasui climbed this cliff to look down the mountain, and almost stepped on him. "Little white face, head, come out!" He shouted to the left.
Twenty or thirty meters away from him, two canopies of snow were opened, and the snow on the two wolf fangs shook off their bodies and rose up from under the cliff. One of them said: "These devils are cautious enough to dare to come to such a dangerous place!" ”
Another said: "Little white face, less nonsense, hurry up and check the walkie-talkie!" ”
Little White Face was the communicator in the trio, he knelt on the ground, took off the walkie-talkie behind him, turned on the machine, adjusted it, and said, "No problem! ”
The "head" was a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old man, who ran over to the first wolf tooth and said, "Wang Lin, what are you still doing lying on your stomach?" Worked out! ”
Wang Lin smiled bitterly: "Head, my left foot seems to be frozen!" ”
"What?" The head said and ran to him: "Give me your hand!" He took him by the hand and pulled him up. Then, his face changed when he saw the gaping trousers and the blood ice sticking to them. Reaching out to pinch the injured left calf, he asked Wang Lin, "Does it hurt?" ”
Wang Lin's face changed instantly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "No reaction!" ”
His head and body stiffened, and his brows tightened: "When were you injured?" ”
"Last night, it was the time when the little devils were shooting their guns!"
The task of monitoring the whereabouts of the 10th Division and the 108th Division was originally a matter for the local fox pupils. After the Japanese army came ashore, Lu Zhibai sent two wolf tooth squads to track down at Ouyang Yun's request, which had another purpose. At about one o'clock last night, a wolf's tooth accidentally fell into a trap dug by a local to catch wild boars, which caused the little devil to shoot with a platoon gun. As a result, Wang Lin, who was closer to the devil's camp, was shot in the left leg. Wang Lin dealt with it at the time, thinking that it was okay, but because he rubbed on a stone when he was hiding before, he pulled his pants into a big hole, and this continuous lurking for more than an hour, this leg actually froze and lost consciousness.
"Wang Lin, you must stay here!"
"Zhilu Dao, head, little white face, you be careful!"
The little white-faced cat came over, shook Wang Lin's hand vigorously, and said, "Brother, you must hold on!" ”
Wang Lin smiled: "I'll be fine!" ”
The head slapped him on the shoulder, then beckoned to the little white face, and the two of them ran towards the other side of the mountain. Five minutes later, the two of them found a snow nest about two hundred meters away from Wang Lin and lay down, and then, Xiao Baimian took out a microphone and shouted in a low voice: "Snow wolf calls avalanche, snow wolf calls avalanche!" ”
In Guanmei Village, about 15 kilometers away from them, a brigade of heavy artillery had already set up a position, and Zhang Tianquan, the commander of the Eighth Division, was anxiously pacing between the two self-propelled howitzers with his hands behind his back. A communications soldier followed him with a walkie-talkie on his back and a microphone, and was already out of breath at this time. Finally, Xu saw the fine beads of sweat oozing from the forehead of the communications soldier, Zhang Tianquan stood and looked at his watch and asked, "When was the previous call?" ”
The communications soldier looked at his watch and replied, "Seven and three o'clock." ”
"That is, an hour and a half hour have passed?!"
"Yes!"
"No, the devil should start crossing the river!"
"Division, will the Japanese let the infantry cross the river first?"
"It's unlikely, the devil knows that we have a large number of chariot troops, and we will definitely let the chariot troops cross the river first!"
Nanchang is a great victory, and learning from the eighth division can be said to be a great achievement. It was precisely because they seized the opportunity to carry out artillery and artillery bombardment when the Japanese army crossed the Ganjiang River and Qianhu Lake twice in a row, which severely damaged the 11th Army's Western Route Army and the Eastern Route Army, which not only reversed the gap in strength between the two sides at once, but also greatly damaged the morale of the Japanese army, thus laying the foundation for the victory in the following battle. It is said that no matter how clever the tactic is, it will not work after using it once. However, now it seems that the Japanese army has not learned its lesson!
Zhang Tianquan was sure that the Japanese army would let the chariot troops cross the river first before he finished speaking, and the words in the hands of the communication soldiers rang out: "Snow wolf calls avalanche, snow wolf calls avalanche!" ”
The signal soldier was pleasantly surprised: "Master, here!" ”
Zhang Tianquan snatched the microphone, pressed the send button and said almost with a roar: "Avalanche received, Avalanche received!" Please report back the latest direction of the target! ”
"The goal is crossing the river, the goal is crossing the river! Complete! ”
"Avalanche received, done!" After Zhang Tianquan finished speaking, he yelled at the communication soldier: "Quick, change the channel quickly!" ”
The Signal Soldier turned around and quickly changed the channel, and after a few seconds, he replied, "Okay! ”
Zhang Tianquan pressed the send button again and shouted: "I'm Zhang Tianquan, I have it all!" Set the direction! Shoot! ”
"Directions! Shoot! "The division has come to order, in the direction of Jiangshang Township, fight!" In each of the gun carriages, the commander who received the order immediately shouted to the gunner behind him.
"Yes!" The gunners replied loudly, and after checking the scale with their eyes, they pressed the launch button!
