Section 49 The situation is grim

"Jiangjiashan." Sasagawa said the name of the place word by word, and the expression on his face was even more severe and terrifying, that kind of solemnity, and it made people feel breathless at a glance.

Mita Xiufeng was also suffocated in vain, and the fear suppressed in his heart surged up unreservedly, making his face turn pale, and after hesitating for a long time, he muttered: "Your Excellency is saying that the people in front of you have been supplied by the transport brigade?" But this is simply impossible, we have also explored the situation in Jiangjiashan, there are traces of being burned by fire, and the most important thing is that the people of Zhina then went to Gaoling Village to ambush the first brigade, and it was too late in time. ”

Sasagawa San nodded with a deep groan, obviously agreeing with Mita Hidetoyo's statement, but there was always a different feeling in his heart, which made him not want to believe that such a large number of grain, grass and ordnance would be destroyed in such a swoop.

"Would the people of China be willing to give up such a large piece of fat to their mouths?" Sasakawa San shook his head, said to himself a little, and then began to pac, rethinking some of the details, Mita Hidetoyo on the side heard this, and could only bow his head and think hard, and did not dare to respond at will, the facts are in front of him, if you want to overturn the original idea, you have to find enough evidence, but what they lack is evidence.

Just when Sasagawa San was shocked by the enemy's ferocious firepower, the gloomy Inoue Senichiro also came back and wandered back in the woods uneasily, thinking hard about the current battle situation. From last night's surprise attack to today's tentative attack, the tenacity and tenacity of the enemy in front of him really gave him a headache, especially the calmness of the opponent who dared to put them twenty or thirty paces before firing, which made him quite frightened.

From one small clue one can see what is coming! Inoue Senichiro, who has extremely rich combat experience, felt the strength of the enemy from these small aspects, and it was definitely a force with technical and tactical capabilities no less than theirs, and the situation of changing the situation of the battle by breaking down the enemy's defense line with a fierce momentum was no longer applicable, how could they complete the task assigned to them by His Excellency Fuji?

After thinking about it, Sonichiro suddenly felt helpless. The number of troops was not so important because of the difficulty of the woods, and when the formation could not be deployed, the decisive factor of previous wars, the role played by the soldiers and the sharpness of their weapons was minimized. And the night attack technique has been used last night, and the effect is not obvious, and when the other party is on guard, it is easy to cause great losses because of their unfamiliarity with the terrain.

If you don't fight, you can't fight, you can't beat it, but there are still strange eyes staring at Sasakawa and others behind him, so that Inoue Senichiro can't help but bear great pressure, and he is a little out of order. The order was issued by the brigade headquarters, and after the capture of Ruichang, two brigades were immediately invested to launch an attack here, which shows that the brigade headquarters attaches great importance to this place, however, the grim reality is in front of him, so that even if he is worried, he has no way.

"Inform the squadrons, rest in place and pay attention to vigilance, and no one is allowed to attack at will without an order." Inoue seemed to feel the expectant gaze of everyone around him, and after a while, he finally commanded with a gloomy face, although he was also anxious to capture the enemy position in front of him, but reason finally prevailed over greed, so he had to restrain the desire to attack.

Compared with the uneasiness of the Japanese officers, the position of the first battalion of the 302nd Regiment seemed very calm at the moment, and after sending Staff Officer Guo to rest, Shi and Liu Wenfeng checked the defensive line of the position. In fact, it is said to be checking, but it is just to take a look and think about the current battle situation, the position here has been largely formed, and the small aspects need time to deal with, so after the Japanese army retreated, the soldiers of the first battalion also began to get busy, seizing all the time that could be used. Perhaps because the previous Japanese offensive had no effect at all, everyone smiled and relaxed, apparently recovering from the sneak attack at night.

"Sledgehammer, there's no problem with food, grass and ammunition, right?" As he walked, the stone asked a seemingly casual question.

This sentence made the expressions of everyone around him awe-inspired, and they pricked up their ears one by one, especially Liu Wenfeng and others, who had always been concerned about the events of that night, but the things here were so big that they didn't have time to think, and now that the stone was suddenly mentioned in front of them, they naturally didn't want to have the slightest mistake or omission.

Gao Dahammer looked around vigilantly, and saw that there was nothing abnormal around him, so he couldn't help but nod and said softly: "No problem, when we withdrew to garrison here, I had already asked Cheng Zhong to bring people to transfer everything back, and put people on strict guard, and no one was allowed to approach." ”

"These things are related to the lives of all the brothers in our regiment, there must be no mistakes, if we only rely on the supply of the brigade headquarters, it is equivalent to putting our lives in the hands of others, and when we want our lives, we will fall." The expression on the stone's face became solemn, and he exhorted in detail word by word.

"In this case, it is more appropriate to find an excuse to hand these things over to the care of the supplementary battalion as soon as possible, so that it is more convenient when advancing and retreating." After thinking about it for a while, Tall Sledgehammer couldn't help but suggest.

Shi shook his head categorically and said: "Don't move lightly for the time being, there are too many things, it's too refreshing, it's not too late to make plans when the situation changes, Battalion Commander Liu can rush to reinforcements before dark, and then let the three companies withdraw under the pretext of rest and recuperation to secretly protect them, how long Minshan can hold depends on these things." ”

At this moment, a strange sound came from the distance, so that everyone who was walking and talking stopped and watched, Liu Wenfeng frowned and then rushed over quickly, but soon he retreated, followed by a dusty pawn, the stone looked carefully, and after seeing the person clearly, he also said with a happy face: "Is it Lao Zhangtou?" Quick, get water. ”

Since the Japanese army launched an attack last night, he rushed to reconnoiter the situation of the Japanese army with his brothers, but because of the strict defense of the Japanese army and the difficulty of traveling in the mountains, there has been no news for a long time, and it has also made the stones almost forget their existence.

Taking the water bladder handed over by the beard, Zhang Donkey, who was sweating like pulp, unceremoniously poured a few mouthfuls, and there were faint traces of blood where the military uniform was cut, plus the muscles that were constantly trembling, it could be seen at a glance that his condition at the moment was really not good, his physical strength was obviously overdrawn, and the whole person was even more likely to be dehydrated.

The coldness of the clear water relieved the burning sensation in Zhang Donkey's chest, and he took a long breath, and at a glance he saw the people with concerned expressions in his eyes, and his heart was immediately shocked, thinking of his own rude behavior.

Shi took two steps forward and said, "Old Zhangtou sit down and rest, and talk slowly if you have something." ”

Zhang Donkey was grateful, and saluted with his hand, but Liu Wenfeng and others on the side also urged with concern, they were all brothers who killed side by side in the three companies, no matter what their positions were, they would not be unfamiliar with each other's closeness, Zhang Donkey just sat down, and said: "Commander, we are lucky, and we took a few brothers out of Minshan." ”

"How? What did you find? Stone asked with a grim expression.

"The road through Jiujiang is full of devils, and the guards along the way are very tight." Zhang Donkey said with a slight palpitation.

"Is it moving in the direction of Jiujiang?" Shi asked uncertainly, and after seeing Zhang Donkey's serious nod, he was even more confused, with a puzzled look on his face.

Liu Wenfeng also couldn't help but say strangely: "Ruichang is choking the throat leading to Wuhan, and the top priority of the Japanese invaders should be to cut off the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway in the southwest Wuning area and maneuver to the Jiujiang line, isn't it a bit of a contradiction?" ”

Shi groaned and didn't speak, got up and paced up with his hands behind his back, his solemn expression, where it looked like he was in his early 20s, and his calm appearance said that it was more than 40, I am afraid that some people would believe it, but his silence did not last long, he stopped and asked: "Old Zhangtou, have you ever seen how many devils there are?" ”

"It's not easy to say, we have been hiding carefully for fear of exposure, but the Japanese army passed for about an hour, there should be more than four or five thousand people, plus a large number of heavy artillery and mule and horse convoys." Zhang Donkey said truthfully.

"A brigade?" Liu Wenfeng exclaimed.

Shi Shi could still hold back his anger, but just shook his head and said: "So, what the brigade said is true, in the Ruichang area, there is really a division of devils, and now a brigade is rushing to the front line of Jiujiang to participate in the battle, is it to break through the frontal defense of the first line of Jiujiang Jinguan Bridge first?" ”

The beard on the side couldn't help but whisper: "Regiment leader, could the devil be coming at us?" ”

Shi Shi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be, the Minshan trail is very narrow and long, and the Japanese army is advancing with a brigade formation, and it may be blocked in the mountains at any time. ”

"Could it be that there is another trail leading to our back?" Tall Sledgehammer couldn't help but say cautiously.

Everyone couldn't help but be taken aback, since they have a trail here, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no second trail in Da Minshan, and Gao Da Hammer's worry is not unreasonable.

"Do you want to report the news here to the Ministry of Tourism immediately? Let them prepare in advance. Beard reminded from the side.

Liu Wenfeng said disdainfully: "Huzi, do you think the brigade will believe us?" Maybe they got the news and thought we were afraid of the war and wanted to find an excuse to retreat! ”

Shi waved his hand categorically and said: "It's one thing to believe it or not, it's another thing to report it or not, Lao Zhangtou, you take two brothers to see Staff Officer Guo again, see how he arranges, even if the brigade seat doesn't believe us, he should believe in Staff Officer Guo, we just have to do our own thing first." ”
