Section 116 Slowly approaching

"Tuanza, this battle is not easy to fight, the main attack is the position of the devils, with our strength, I'm afraid it is still a little worse, if we can't take the enemy army in front of us at that time, the summit will not accuse us of ineffective combat? Before that, we won two battles in a row, and the annihilation of the devils was enough for the strength of two brigades, if this battle that was not under our control affected the previous achievements, it would be a bit more than worth the loss. Chief of Staff Wu Zihuai couldn't help but ask in a deep groan after hearing Shi tell the previous story. He didn't say much about the stone taking over this battle that was not under their control, after all, they had been with the stone for a long time, and they knew that the stone itself was not a person who was happy to achieve great things, and now he was doing this, it can only be said that there are some unavoidable reasons, and the stone has no way to shirk it.

Lin Xiufeng sat on the ground with his head bowed and said nothing, as if he was affected by the quarrel in the morning. Even Liu Wenfeng, who has always loved to talk, was playing with a small dagger in his hand, as if he hadn't heard what they were saying. The tall sledgehammer tower-like body sat there, the whole person was in a closed eye, he had been talking little, such an expression was not strange.

Liu Taiping spoke, and the supplementary battalion commander looked at everyone, and then snorted coldly and said: "The things that the chief of staff is worried about are really a little inexplicable, do you think the brains of these officers are in water?" They can't figure out this kind of thing? If you really dare to make irresponsible remarks about this, who will fight with their lives in the future? Besides, if you fight with the regiment commander, why do you have to worry about not being able to fight? I'm afraid that the devil in front of me is not enough to kill! ”

Wu Zihuai was stunned when he heard this, and seemed to feel that what Liu Taiping said made sense, and he seemed to be too worried.

Li Wenguang, who was on the side, laughed when he heard this: "Liu Cannon, the supplementary battalion commander for more than a year has not been in vain, and now he will actually make a sycophant!" Before he finished speaking, Xiao Shandong on the side also smiled strangely: "No wonder the sun didn't come out today, I'm still thinking about what's going on, and now I understand." ”

The words of the two immediately made everyone laugh, and even Liu Taiping laughed and scolded: "You are two little furry babies, you know a bird, listen more and talk less and work more, and when adults talk, don't interject." It doesn't matter in front of us people, if there are outsiders, it will inevitably be said that the people brought out by the head of the regiment have no rules. ”

Everyone laughed again, and Li Wenguang laughed and said: "Liu Cannon, don't shout, I'm a little bigger than the regiment commander, you be careful that the horse's fart hits the horse's leg." ”

Stone chuckled and said, "What are you talking about yours talking about?" ”

This sudden burst of laughter also freed everyone from a somewhat depressing atmosphere. Originally, they were all veterans who had fought for several years, and the pressure before the big war was not in their eyes at all, but everyone's temper was different, and things that didn't like each other were also common, and it was inevitable that there would be some embarrassing situations. Now, with a burst of laughter, the atmosphere is noticeably more relaxed.

Shi also said at this time: "It's not early, it's time for us to go, how to fight this battle tonight, now we can only take one step at a time, and wait until we meet the main force of the devil before making a decision." Madman, you command a battalion to open the way in front, and the reconnaissance company is temporarily under your command, so you must thoroughly understand the situation in front of you, and don't easily fight a decisive battle with the devils. ”

Seeing that Liu Wenfeng nodded, Shi continued to order: "The second battalion is on the left, the third battalion is on the right, the regimental headquarters battalion and the cavalry battalion are in the middle, the supplementary battalion and the people's battalion are the last, and the departments should not be too far away, and they are slowly advancing from each other." The reconnaissance platoons of each battalion should do a good job of reconnoitring the situation around them, and if they encounter a night attack, they will be on standby to block the enemy on the spot. ”

At around midnight, Liu Wenfeng, commander of the 1st Battalion, sent someone to report to the headquarters of the Chinese Army that the 1st Battalion had encountered Japanese troops in the area of Xiaojiashan. This time was different from the enemy troops they had encountered before, when they were in the Gaogang area before, they also encountered Japanese obstacles along the way, but under their surprise attack, the enemy's defense line collapsed instantly, and they could not stop them at all. At this time, the attacking enemy defense line was very different from the previous one, and after a single assault, it was actually suppressed by the devils with ferocious firepower and could not move. Liu Wenfeng strictly remembered the order of the stone and did not dare to attack wantonly, but reported the situation.

Shi Shi, who received the news, did not dare to be careless, and personally rushed to the front line with the chief of staff Wu Zihuai, and asked Lin Xiufeng, who was attached to the regiment, to come with the regimental headquarters battalion and cavalry battalion.

After rushing to the position of the first battalion, Stone went to the front line to observe the enemy situation in front of him. It was getting late at this time, and it seemed that the visibility was extremely low because of the cloudy weather. And there was a hint of cold air in the air, and it seemed that rain could fall at any moment, and this weather situation undoubtedly made Shi frown. Because once it rains, this battle will not be easy to fight, although the devil's actions are affected by the rain and cement like them, but at this moment to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army, they need to take the initiative to attack, and the speed of the attack will be greatly affected by the rain, and the casualties will naturally be greater.

If it was ancient times, they could besiege but not attack, and slowly exhaust the enemy's food and grass. However, the modern war environment is different from that of ancient times, and the enemy army has aircraft that can airlift supplies and weapons and equipment, and is not afraid of this at all. And as time goes by, Japanese reinforcements will arrive at any time, so the situation is a little bad.

However, the ancients said well, "It is in man to plan things, and it is in heaven to make things happen." "It's going to rain, and there's nothing he can do. Now it's just as good as you can get as much as you can before it rains!

Having settled down, the stone began to study the enemy situation in front of him. It is nearly ten miles away from the first line of the Shimosaka Line, and the stone remembers that the Shimohan Bridge is almost fifteen or sixteen miles away from Yuntou Mountain. Then there are not a few steps away from Yuntou Mountain, and the Japanese army should have a lot of troops here, probably trying to establish a peripheral position here to expand the depth and give enough buffer to the Yuntou Mountain area. Since it is a peripheral position, no matter how strong the enemy's strength is, it is definitely much worse than the main position, and compared to the next strong attack on the front line of Yuntou Mountain, the battle here should be just an appetizer.

After Shi thought about this clearly, he also made up his mind, since this is the case, there is no difficulty in this battle, the key is that after this battle is over, how should he attack the Yuntou Mountain position of the devil? Another thing to worry about is how many Japanese troops are stationed on the front line of Yuntou Mountain? Is it the 216th Wing of the Japanese Army? Or did the entire division of the Japanese army withdraw to Yuntou Mountain? If the main forces of the Japanese army were there, they would have killed them so rashly, and I am afraid that the consequences would be worrying.

Soon, Lin Xiufeng, Hu Zi, Li Wenguang and others rushed over. After the stone told them what he thought, everyone couldn't help but fall into silence, obviously they didn't have any good ideas to think of, after all, they really didn't know about the terrain in this area. Thinking of this, they couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, they knew that they should have brought an officer or scout from the 57th Division over. After all, the 57th Division has fought a few battles with devils in this area, and it is much stronger than them in terms of environment and environment, not to mention anything else, at least it can take a few detours.

After thinking about it, the stone quickly made arrangements. Since I don't know the situation in front of me now, there will be no progress if I continue to wait here, so I can only fight.

In order to prevent a sneak attack by devils during the attack, Stone ordered to reduce the distance between the divisions, and at the same time moved the second battalion to the back of the first battalion in case of accidents. As for the cavalry battalion, in this case, it would not be useful for a short time, and they were temporarily assigned to be used as scouts, and they were guarded in small groups. It is believed that with the addition of the cavalry battalion, coupled with the already strong reconnaissance company of the independent regiment, it is enough to ensure that the situation within a radius of more than ten miles cannot be hidden from their eyes. After all, in this mountainous area, there are not many routes for large troops to march, mainly for the viewing and monitoring of the surrounding mountains, and the devils can't be unaware of their surroundings.

After making heavy arrangements and arrangements, the 1st Battalion began to attack the enemy's positions with confidence and boldness. The area occupied by the Japanese army was on the high ground of the mountain, and the road leading to the area of Yuntou Mountain was supposed to be the road below, although it was not very spacious, but it was also one of the few roads in the vicinity. If you don't want to go from here, you can only make a few detours from the east, but in this way, it is difficult to guarantee whether there will be a devil's defense over there, and the detour will inevitably lead to a war as well. In that case, it is better to simply take this place. After having this awareness, Liu Wenfeng didn't think much about it, and personally pressed the front line, watching the battalion attached Cheng Zhong and the brothers of the third company as the vanguard to touch the Japanese army's position.

The soldiers of the independent regiment only lit some torches in the distance, the number was not much, but the range was very wide, which made the Japanese troops on the top of the mountain see it, and they couldn't help but be frightened, and they couldn't figure out how many enemy troops were coming for a while. Coupled with the daytime retreat and the faint news of bad news, the Japanese soldiers were even more uneasy, and as soon as the scouts in front of them noticed that the enemy had begun to touch the mountain, the sirens sounded, and they launched a frenzied attack forward. The originally dark mountains were instantly reflected red by the firelight, and a string of dazzling firelight, with dazzling brilliance, was like fireworks, which was beautiful.

If it weren't for the war, I'm afraid everyone couldn't help but let out a burst of emotion, and that dazzling line of fire was really difficult to see in this dark night. But at this moment, everyone looked at the scene in front of them, and they couldn't help but feel nervous in their hearts, frowning one by one.
