Section 104 Bloody Battle of Wanjialing XXXVI

The stone retreated to a small col two miles away, and the 302nd Regiment and others, who had been guarding there for a long time, saw that the regiment commander personally inquired about the information and came back, so they greeted him from afar, and asked the stone with an excited look on their faces: "Commander, how is it, when will the fight start?" Are we going to attack or cover this time? ”

Looking at the expectant eyes of Liu Wenfeng, Liu Taiping, Li Wenguang, Hu Zi and others, Shi shook his head helplessly and scolded: "You guys, you people, don't you know that people die in war?" ”

These words caused everyone to laugh, and Wu Zihuai, who was old and stubborn, also sighed and replied: "Tuanzao, drinking cold water can choke people to death, let alone fighting." But if you don't fight, you will die faster, if you look at the people in this area of Wanjialing, except for those who have escaped into the mountains with the news early, which one of them who remains in the village still has a way to live? I heard that several villages around it were all destroyed, men were killed, women were raped, where is there still a living mouth, this world is not the way of the living! ”

"It's not all these landlords and gentry, warlords and townsmen. Years of war and disaster, exploiting the people more than once, resulting in the country accumulating heavy and difficult to return, the internal power is like a tiger, external weakness and incompetence, hundreds of thousands of Northeast troops in the face of tens of thousands of little devils did not let go of a single fart, so that the devils easily knocked on the door, as hard as now, where are these messy things? Hu Zi listened to Wu Zihuai's words, and immediately scolded angrily, he was born as a horse bandit, but what he did was to rob the rich and help the poor, and killed the squires and rich people everywhere, and he hated the corrupt officials and corrupt officials who regarded the hungry people everywhere as nothing.

Shi naturally knows that his subordinates, one is more bold than the other, but with the change of their identity and status, the same words, falling in the ears of people with a heart, it is easy to cause big things, although it is now at the moment of the Anti-Japanese War, but who knows if it will be remembered in their hearts, and they will settle accounts after the autumn?

"Huzi, don't bother these useless things, we Qiu Ba, just fight devils, these things can't be managed, and you don't have the ability to manage them, let you be a township magistrate and county official, you can do better than those people?" Liu Wenfeng waved his hand to interrupt his words, as if he didn't want him to be entangled in these things anymore, now the devil is in front, clean these messy things, when will he start attacking?

Hu Zi snorted dissatisfiedly, and then sat down, after venting, it was helplessness about reality, he knew that Liu Wenfeng was right, governing the place is not simpler than fighting, and all aspects of the industry of Shinong, industry and commerce, people who are not educated, but there is really nowhere to start. This is also the reason why from ancient times to the present, the gate valve forces have always controlled the power of the state, how can people who can't even eat enough to study? Only these gentry and gentry, only their descendants, have the opportunity to read and write, to do learning, to have the opportunity to grasp the power of the shepherd, this deep-rooted tradition, is not something that a small person like him can change.

Shi's eyes looked in the direction of Zhang Gushan, and after they quieted down, he said slowly: "Let's think about ourselves, first finish this battle, and still have our lives to survive, and then think about these things, our lives are gone, what do you want to do with these messy things?" ”

Wu Zihuai nodded and asked, "Tuanza, it stands to reason that we have served as a pioneer in Lion Rock, why did we ...... this time?"

Shi looked back at Wu Zihuai, seeing his concern, he smiled indifferently, shook his head and said: "No, Brigade Commander Zhang is not that kind of person, let's put it this way, if there was no cultivation of Brigade Commander Zhang, there would not be me today, this time we were seconded to our 302nd Regiment to participate in the battle, it was really because this battle was too difficult to fight, and there were not many successful examples of attacking the position of the devils." ”

At 16 o'clock on October 7, Shi and the 302nd Regiment rushed to the south of Zhanggu Mountain on time, looking at the hillside protruding from the horizon in front of him from a distance, and everyone on the side restrained the excitement on their faces and became nervous.

The sky in October, the golden four fields in autumn. The gradually shortening of the day, so that the sun that originally hung high in the sky in summer, has a feeling of waning in the west, and the light also becomes golden under the background of the clouds, which is consistent with the color of the four fields, making everything between heaven and earth appear magnificent and beautiful.

In the distance, there was a sudden sound of a violent explosion, and the earth trembled slightly, making people clearly feel the fierce momentum of the coming bloody battle.

On the hillside, the Japanese soldiers, who also heard the explosion, seemed to have a lot of reaction, steel helmets appeared among the grass, bayonets shone terrifyingly from time to time, and plaster flags also showed hideous faces from time to time as if showing off their strength. However, in the series of explosions that followed, the restlessness on the hillside showed the uneasiness of the devils, and their hearts seemed to be far from being as calm as they had imagined.

Shi and the others lay on their stomachs in the tall grass, carefully observing the movement on the mountain. When they came before, they naturally couldn't escape the devil's observation, and the stone didn't think about getting close to the devil's position unknowingly, and launched a bloody and rapid sweep of the devil's light and dark sentinel, which shocked the devil on the mountain. But after all, the devils did not rush down the mountain, and they were obviously quite afraid of their current strength, and the current offensive and defensive situation on the battlefield had been reversed, and it was no longer the form of the devils attacking and they could only passively defend.

The cannon fire in the distance continued, and on the battlefield not far from here, it seemed that a fierce attack had been launched, and just listening to the "booming" cannon sound made the officers and men of the national army feel greatly relieved and relieved.

"Danza, when are we going to attack?" Lin Xiufeng, who was attached to the regiment, asked with some confidence. He was very strange in his heart, because the stone had not deployed the troops of each company and platoon until now, which was a very abnormal situation, although he always felt that the stone would not make such a low-level mistake, but the battle around him had already begun, and he couldn't help the question in his heart after all, and opened his mouth to ask.

Shi looked at the mountain in front of him, and suddenly asked, "Brother Lin thinks there are many devils on this mountain?" ”

Lin Xiufeng shook his head and said: "I don't know, we came in a hurry, we don't have any information on this, and we don't know the deployment of the devil's troops at all, once we misestimate the devil's strength, it may cause great losses." ”

Hearing this, Shi Shi nodded, and then grinned and said, "So, I want Company Commander Zhang to send a platoon to touch the bottom of the devil!" ”

Lin Xiufeng suddenly stared at the stone with wide eyes, his expression gradually became unkind, he felt that the stone was perfunctory to him, not only perfunctory to him, but also to joke with the lives of the brothers in the whole group, passive sabotage? What is this going to do, Captain? Although Lin Xiufeng knew that he was estranged from Shi because of Hu Qu's two battalion commanders, but now as a regimental attached, he couldn't let Shi Hu come, so he immediately persuaded him: "Tuanzuo, this is the offensive task personally explained by Shizuo, let's cooperate with the 153 Travel, if we don't contribute to work here and are known by Shangfeng, then ......"

"Brother Lin misunderstood." Shi unceremoniously interrupted Lin Xiufeng's words, and said with a smile: "We don't know the deployment of the devil's troops now, we are ready to attack tentatively, and feel the bottom of it, this is common sense on the battlefield, how can we not work hard?" Just like Brother Lin just said, if we don't know the deployment of the devil's troops, what kind of attack we will take, I don't want the brothers to die in vain. ”

Lin Xiufeng looked at him as soon as he changed his usual serious expression, with a smile on his face, he wanted to punch him, the muscles on his face couldn't help shaking, and he raised his voice and said: "Tuanzuo, although the mountain in front of you is not high, but Fang Yuan is definitely not small, a platoon to try to attack?" What can be found? I'm afraid I can't even figure out how many layers of defense the devil has. ”

"That's not necessarily, the ancients said, 'Take a peek and see the whole leopard, see a leaf and know the autumn.'" Although I don't have the foresight of the ancients, I still look at a big one, it's still about the same. As he spoke, he beckoned to the distant reconnaissance company.

After the various units arrived here, they didn't get any orders, and they looked at the stone here one by one, waiting for how to attack further. On the one hand, I have to guard against the possible counterattack of the devils on the mountain, this is really a sight to see, the stone beckons, and the donkey in the car rushed over excitedly without thinking about it, and its vigor is breathtaking.

After receiving the order from the stones to let them probe for firepower, he did not have the slightest doubt, and immediately turned back to organize the men, and in the blink of an eye, he personally led a platoon to the hillside.

For Zhang Donkey, he doesn't have so many ideas, whatever the regiment commander says, he will fight, for more than a year, from a small soldier to a company commander, that's how he did it, for stones, they veterans have incomparable trust and absolute obedience, where will they be like Lin Xiufeng who asked why this battle was fought like this, how could it be fought like this?

The tentative firepower before the start of the war has become a combat habit, seeing that there are not many troops sent under the mountain, the devils on the mountain are naturally not stupid, and they need to use a knife to kill chickens? To deal with a platoon, who will mobilize the division to expose their firepower, the Japanese commander on Zhanggu Mountain is even more cunning, the reconnaissance platoon has not yet approached, and it is directly thrown down in one round.

The sound of "boom", accompanied by bursts of rising smoke, the reconnaissance company retreated very barely, which made Lin Xiufeng, who was from a distance, stunned.
