Chapter 240: Barton is ambushed
Mangdang Mountain, located in the western part of Qiu City, has a rugged terrain, with large and small hills and vast expanses.
Not to mention the Tang Army, who is an outsider, is a local of Qiu City, and there are not many people who can accurately grasp every mountain, as long as a very small number of hunters in the mountains can wear Mangdang Mountain and walk on the ground.
There is no doubt that Mangdang Mountain is a natural battlefield!
And the New Ninth Brigade led by Ouyang, although it was the first time to advance into Mangdang Mountain, Ouyang dared to say that even if it was a local in the Mangdang Mountain area, few people could be more familiar with the terrain of Mangdang Mountain than Ouyang.
"God of Maps Skill!"
It is a skill that Ouyang opened in the previous life!
Through the existing map, combined with field visits, a specific and accurate topographic map of the mountain can be accurately depicted in a very short time.
In the eyes of others, mountains are mountains, and water is water.
However, in the eyes of Ouyang, who has the skill of the God of Maps, what he sees is not just mountains and rivers, but coordinate lines, coordinate lines, and specific data that can no longer be specific.
Knowing the terrain, mastering it, and then using it reflects a commander's war literacy, which is not strategic or tactical, but it is more important.
Mangdang Mountain, this inaccessible mountain, the deep mountain and old forest that is relatively unfamiliar to the locals of Qiu City, is now like his own back garden in Ouyang's eyes, and there is no secret at all.
"As long as it is in Mangdang Mountain, the reinforcements of the Jin army are tens of thousands of people, and I am not afraid!"
This was Ouyang's first sentence after seeing Mangdang Mountain.
However, the Jin army's tenacious will to fight, as well as the current situation, forced Ouyang to give up the idea of defending Mangdang Mountain and instead adopt the tactics of taking the initiative.
~~~~
At this moment, the 512th Regiment of the New Ninth Brigade, which was ordered to lead its troops to take the initiative, was leaving Mangdang Mountain under the leadership of regiment commander Rommel.
Seek the enemy and fight, block the enemy's reinforcements outside Mangdang Mountain, and support the 18th Army of the 7th Group Army of the Tang Army to the greatest extent in the decisive battle with the 11th Division of the Jin Army.
"Commissar, how long do we expect it will take before we can leave Mangdang Mountain?"
Rommel asked, now Rommel is very eager to fight, which can be described as impatient.
Political commissar Zhao Gang replied: "Regiment commander, I just looked at the map, where we are now is the boundary of Qingxialing, and it is expected that we will be able to leave Mangdang Mountain at noon at the earliest, advance into the area of Shunhe Town, and launch an attack on the Jin army reinforcements!" ”
"Huh?"
Rommel frowned and glanced at the sky again.
The sun is going to set, and the night is coming.
"Arriving at noon tomorrow? It's just too slow! ”
Rommel said loudly: "Monk Wei! ”
"Here!" Monk Wei said.
Rommel: "Monk Wei, you immediately sent my order, ordering the whole regiment to continue to accelerate around the clock, and be sure to arrive in Shunhe Town before the sun rises tomorrow!" ”
"Yes, Captain!"
Monk Wei on the side immediately drank and went to convey Rommel's order.
The first commander of the 512th Regiment of the New Ninth Brigade was Li Yunlong, and now Rommel. With his outstanding command skills, especially in the Battle of the Great Desert of Uuris, Rommel has already established his supreme position in the 512th Regiment, and is more prestigious than Li Yunlong, the first commander of the 512th Regiment.
Li Yunlong, the current commander of the 702nd Regiment of the New Ninth Brigade, has more than half of the officers and men under his command who have not long joined the team.
Therefore, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the 702nd Regiment, Ouyang signed a series of orders to recruit some veterans from the 512th Regiment and supplement them to Li Yunlong's Regiment. Zhang Dabiao, deputy head of the 512 Regiment, Li Yunlong's old subordinate, has now also been transferred to the 702 Regiment as the deputy head of the regiment and continues to partner with Li Yunlong.
The political commissar Zhao Gang and the commander of the guard company, Wei Monk, continued to serve in the 512th Regiment.
Now.
Faced with Rommel's order to march around the clock, Zhao Gang opened his mouth and stopped talking.
Rommel glanced at Zhao Gang and said in a deep voice: "Political commissar, I know what you have to say, but we don't have time to rest now, the fighter plane is fleeting, and time is running out!" ”
"Good!" Zhao Gang nodded.
At that moment, Rommel ordered the most elite guard battalion of the 512th Regiment to be dispatched immediately, daring to take Shunhe Town before the main force of the 512th Regiment arrived, laying the foundation for the whole regiment.
"Commander, don't worry, there is no task that I Patton can't accomplish!"
The battalion commander of the guard battalion was none other than Patton, and he was still as proud as ever, and his expression was full of confidence in the world.
Throughout history, Patton and Rommel can be said to be the same kind of people, and what they are best at is rapid marching, using rapid advance tactics to penetrate all enemy defenses!
~~~~~
~~~~~~~
Around 2 o'clock in the evening.
Patton led more than 400 officers and soldiers of the 512th Regiment Guard Battalion, and under the starry night, they overcame all the obstacles and arrived in the area of the Valley of Burning Stones.
The Valley of Burning Stones is the edge of Mangdang Mountain.
As long as you pass the Burning Stone Valley and march for half an hour, you can completely leave Mangdang Mountain and advance into the area of Shunhe Town.
The reason why it is called the Valley of Burning Stones is because 50 years ago, a battle of tens of thousands of people broke out here, and the artillery fire of both sides of the war resounded for two days and two nights, burning all the trees here, and even the stones on both sides were burned into lime, so it was named Burning Stone Valley.
"Quick!"
"Speed up the march!"
Patton shouted: "The regimental commander has entrusted the task of the vanguard to our guard battalion, which is a trust in us, so our department will win the first victory for our 512th Regiment and our New Ninth Brigade!" ”
Suddenly, the hundreds of soldiers who were on the march all responded loudly. Anyway, it's late at night, and it's inside Mangdang Mountain, and the big guys don't have many taboos, and roaring loudly can also increase a lot of momentum and reduce the fatigue of the march.
Barton's eyes were like torches, and he scanned the crowd present, his heart full of pride.
"With this elite soldier, why can't I, Patton, win a big victory?"
Because of the battle of Maoling Wharf, Patton was promoted several times in a day, from an ordinary soldier directly to the battalion commander, I don't know how many people envied him, and of course there were some opposing voices. Therefore, Barton secretly vowed: "I must take Shunhe Town and let all the voices of doubt disappear!" ”
Bang!!!
Suddenly, there was a shocking bang!
A large explosion suddenly occurred in the central part of the Tang Army guard battalion that was marching, and the Tang soldiers were caught off guard and suffered dozens of casualties in an instant.
"Enemy ambush !!"
In an instant, Barton knew that he had been ambushed, caused by the explosives planted by the enemy in the Valley of the Burning Stone.
"Hide, hide now!"
Patton roared anxiously, and the panicked warriors quickly began to dodge.
But!
At this moment, countless grenades were dropped on the high ground on both sides of the Burning Rock Valley, and the number of grenades was too many to count!
Rumble!!!
The power of dozens, hundreds, or even hundreds of grenades that burst out together was quite amazing, and many Tang Army soldiers who had not had time to dodge were blown up into the sky at that moment!
The corpse fell to the ground, and the flesh was immediately blurred!
At this moment, in Barton's heart, in addition to anger, there was more self-blame.
"Careless, careless!"
Barton scolded in his heart: "It's all because I was so meritorious and didn't send scouts, otherwise why would it be like this!" ”
The fact is that as Barton analyzed, he was too anxious!
Too eager to prove yourself!
Otherwise, Patton, a famous four-star general of the US army in his previous life, where would he be ambushed by the enemy?
Make such a low-level mistake!
Watching the warriors continue to fall in pools of blood, Barton's heart is dripping blood!
At the same time.
The commander of the Jin army, who was directing the battle on the high ground on both sides, showed a mocking smile.
"I have long heard that the New Ninth Brigade of the Tang Army is a strong force that can fight well, its style is tough, and it is good at long-distance active attacks.
The commander of the Jin army sneered: "But because of this, you should have today's defeat!" ”
Immediately, he issued another order, let the more than 400 soldiers under his command continue to launch a fierce attack!
The commander of the Jin army said coldly: "Today, I will use the blood of hundreds of Tang soldiers here to tell the world that my Great Jin Empire is inviolable!" ”
The third update of "" was sent.
