Section 120 Counterattack on Gao'an XVI

Jinggangling is not a single mountain, but composed of a continuous small hill, in addition to the highest main peak, on the west side of the main peak there are two high and low slopes like two door gods guarding the main peak of Jinggangling. A trail winds around the mountain from a distance, bypassing the junction of the two foothills.

Today, several large and small mountains here have been occupied by the 302nd Regiment, and the stone has placed the regimental headquarters on the main peak, with the 2nd Battalion guarding the flanks and the 1st Battalion guarding the front.

On the high ridge to the west, it is in full swing at the moment, and gray figures shuttle between the trees, moving or lifting, and building fortifications by all means. It's just that they have too few tools to dig deep trenches as usual, so they can only rely on rocks and trees as much as possible to give full play to the advantages of the location.

This really can't blame them, because this battle was originally a surprise battle, and the speed of the march was very particular, so the commonly used shovels and other tools were all left in Laojing Village, and the trees on the mountain ridge were luxuriant, and the roots of the trees on the ground were vertical and horizontal.

Cheng Zhong and a few soldiers shouted a big bluestone to the ground, when even a machine gunner picked up the machine gun mount and tried it on it, although the bluestone is not high, but it is very wide and flat, and it is very comfortable to lie on it, which makes the machine gunner very satisfied. Cheng Zhong and the others were tired and leaned their backs on the bluestone one by one, panting heavily.

took out a pack of paper cigarettes from his pocket, Cheng Zhong took one out of it himself, and immediately threw it aside, these people seemed to have long been accustomed to the company commander's behavior, so they unceremoniously took one out of their own and passed it to the side. A veteran skillfully lit a match and lit the cigarette for him, and for a while the smoke was swirling next to the bluestone, and the scene was quite "spectacular".

"Company commander, can we have a battle on this broken mountain? I ran in the dark for a whole night, to say the least, sixty or seventy miles, and the result was to carry stones in this grove, what the hell is this doing? A wrinkled veteran muttered dissatisfied.

Cheng Zhong took a deep breath of cigarette and said slowly, "What are you doing with so much?" How to fight a war is something that the generals above consider, you don't even know a single big character, and you don't get tired of worrying about so much? ”

The veteran soldier didn't care when he heard this: "Company commander, that's not what you said, you said that those boys who don't even have hair can know how to fight?" Even if they went to some military academy and studied for a few years, could they still do so many battles with devils with real swords and guns? I see, these people are just tossing and turning us around. ”

Cheng Chong couldn't help frowning when he heard this. The veterans of the Third Company are difficult to serve, usually one by one, no one cares about it, as the more and more battles are won, the attitude of being above the top is getting stronger and stronger, just like now, even the combat orders of the peak are a little suspicious and dissatisfied, this is not a good sign.

"Keep your mouth shut, don't make trouble for me, if this is heard by others, it may cause some trouble." Cheng Zhong glared at the veteran and scolded sharply.

Everyone closed their mouths and fell silent. For Cheng Chong, they still admire it very much, to be honest, whether it is according to seniority or according to military exploits, Cheng Chong is more than enough to be a battalion attached, but he refused such an opportunity, and stayed in the third company with peace of mind to share weal and woe with these brothers, and this alone made them admire.

What kind of company is a battalion with three companies? This is the most glorious combat company of the 302nd Regiment, and most of the regimental and battalion-level officers, including the regiment commander Shi, are from the third company, and this honor alone makes them very proud. Every recruit who joins the third company will be attracted by the legendary stories told by the veterans, to be honest, the history of the struggle of the regiment commander stone, is the best inspirational story, everyone who hears it will be greatly encouraged, from the bottom of their hearts want to maintain the glory of the third company. And Cheng Zhong stayed in the position of the commander of the third company for a year or two, and his prestige and prestige were so high that the entire 302nd Regiment could not be compared with anyone except for stones.

Seeing that they were silent, Cheng Chong's face softened slightly, and he took a light puff of cigarette and said: "I heard that this battle was arranged by the division commanders to listen to the opinions of the regiment commander, so this battle will be our regiment's smuggling across the Jinjiang River, whether this battle can be fought well is not only related to the development of the battle situation, but also related to the face of the regiment commander. ”

What kind of battle situation is too ethereal and illusory, they don't understand, but this battle is related to the face of the regiment commander is what they care about the most, no need to say more, these veterans threw cigarette butts to the ground one by one, and their tired bodies were immediately full of strength, they jumped up from the ground one by one, and one of the squad leaders immediately shouted: "Get up and move, don't fucking lose our three companies, go, go and carry down all the bluestones on the top for me, who wants to fight badly in this battle, get out of the three companies for Lao Tzu." ”

It's just a blink of an eye, and there is no one around, only Cheng Chong is slowly smoking a cigarette, looking slow.

It didn't take long for a communications soldier to run up at the foot of the mountain, and as soon as he saw Cheng Chong, he shouted: "Company commander, the devil is here, and the devil's vanguard has been discovered." ”

Cheng Chong jumped up from the ground when he heard this, not only did he not have the slightest nervous look, but he looked quite excited, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time, his whole body was full of energy, where was there still a little lazy and powerless just now?

On the sheep intestine trail about a mile away from the hillside, Squadron Leader Hitori Hata, the squadron executive officer and the three squad leaders stood together, they looked at the two peaks of different heights in front of them from a distance, with a grim look on their faces. Obviously, the complex terrain of Jinggangling was completely different from what they had expected, in addition to the main peak, there were actually two peaks of different heights in front of them, which undoubtedly brought great difficulty to their attack, and if they wanted to open the road to Qingzhou and sweep away the remnants of the enemy on the north bank of the Jinjiang River, it was obvious that they could only start with these two peaks in front of them.

"Hata-kun, do you want to attack immediately?" The executive officer asked with a solemn face.

Hakuda Renli reversed his previous pride in fighting bravely in front of the captain, and said quite cautiously: "The squadron is on guard in place, and immediately send someone to invite the captain, this battle is much more difficult than we imagined, not to mention a small team, even our entire squadron throws in, I'm afraid it won't have any effect." ”

The executive officer frowned slightly, as if he felt that the squadron leader's words were a bit alarmist, but he just put this idea in his heart and did not say it, after all, Harata Renli can become the squadron leader, and he is still quite good at fighting, and he always has his thoughts and reasons for saying this.

They are only a mile away from the defensive position Maxi preset by Hiromoto Saburo, between Jinggangling and Maxi, Hiromoto Saburo originally rushed here, almost when the Hatata squadron sent people, they had already rushed to the forefront, and there was no need for Hakuda Renli to say anything, as soon as Hiromoto Saburo saw the terrain in front, he said with an ugly expression: "It seems that this combat mission is not easy!" ”

Hatada Renli couldn't help but respond: "Your Excellency, do you still want to send a test team?" ”

Saburo Hiromoto nodded and said: "Reconnaissance firepower must be dispatched, otherwise, we will never know how many enemy troops are crossing the river, but how to fight this battle will have to be carefully discussed." With that, he turned to the first squadron leader Shima Yuki and said, "Shima Yujun, you immediately rush to Maxi to build a defensive position with the machine gun squadron, and after the position is initially formed, we will launch an attack." ”

"Hi" Shima Yuqi replied, and immediately ran briskly in the direction he had just arrived, obviously facing the terrain in front of him, he also felt uneasy in his heart.

The chief of staff, Oda Noxiong, shouted with great dissatisfaction on the side: "Hiromoto-kun, how long are you going to drag this battle on?" Do a few mountains scare you? Is it because of these small dirt slopes that we have to waste most of our time in vain? Don't forget, the 102nd Brigade is fighting the enemy in Gao'an, and every minute of our delay could result in the death of an Imperial warrior. ”

Saburo Hiromoto was annoyed by Xiao Tian Noxiong's endless urging, and when he heard this, he immediately roared angrily and said: "Oda-kun, if you think that your ability is far superior to me, you can apply to the brigade headquarters or even the division headquarters for you to command this brigade, but before you become the captain, close your mouth and listen to orders honestly, don't forget, I am the one who needs to be responsible for the lives of more than 1,000 soldiers in the brigade." ”

Xiao Tian Xiong was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red, and he wanted to refute a few words, but he couldn't say a word, although his identity is relatively special, but to be honest, in terms of combat, he only has the right to advise and supervise and has no battlefield command, and he can't compare with Saburo Hiromoto.

Saburo Hiromoto no longer paid attention to this mouthy chief of staff, and refocused his gaze on the two peaks that echoed each other in front of him, thinking hard about how to break the enemy, just from the current terrain, he felt the enemy's difficulty, and it was obvious that he could choose the battlefield here, which showed that the other party's vision and level far exceeded that of ordinary officers, and the troops commanded by such a person, even if it was a group of recruits, were definitely a group of the most difficult opponents.
