Section 10 To each his own mind

At noon on August 25, Minshan Pass.

This is a rough leaky mountain road in the mountains, it is a sheep intestine trail connecting Ruichang and De'an, from here to the distance of about 60 miles from Ruichang De'an, and if you bypass Minshan, the road distance between the two places is as much as 120 miles, more than doubled, and at the same time, because it is blocked by the mountain, the risk has increased several times.

Therefore, if the Minshan line can be held, it will basically cut off the possibility of the Japanese army in Ruichang attacking southward, and at the same time, it can also threaten the safety of the Japanese army's grain road at all times, which can be said to be a battleground for offensive and defensive interaction between the two places.

The stone now stood on the top of the hill on the side of the trail, quietly looking around. The 302nd Regiment finally arrived here after a night of traveling, and the Japanese were not familiar with the terrain here, and obviously did not realize the importance of this place, which bought them enough time to deploy their defenses, and also made them breathe a sigh of relief.

"Stone, this is the commander of the Sichuan military camp, Wang Lingji, and this area is garrisoned by them." Just as the stone was observing the surrounding environment, Hu Liqun came over with a middle-aged officer, this person was not tall, dark-skinned, rolled up sleeves and trousers, slightly open chest, looked rough, without the majesty of an officer, still a few steps away, and saluted him.

Faintly replied, the stone did not care about the dress of the Wang battalion commander, and stayed in the mountains for a month, he understood this very well, the conditions in the mountains are difficult, especially the soldiers on the front line must be on guard against the sneak attack of the devils at any time, and they must stay in the defense line to resist the scorching heat, and they have to bear the bite of mosquitoes, the pain of which is really not known to outsiders, so for these subsections, the stone does not care at all, he turned his head and looked at Hu Liqun's body, and looked at the second battalion commander under him with great interest.

This time Hu Liqun did not let people help, but put up a cane by himself, although it seemed a little difficult, but his complexion was very good, and there was a rare faint smile on his face, but this familiar face was reflected in the eyes of the stone, but it made him feel like he was turning his stomach, and his heart was full of disdain.

Liu Wenfeng told him a lot of things last night, which shocked him, and at the same time learned more about the world. Gao Da Hammer is worthy of being a person who has been following Gao Battalion Commander for several years, and he has already made many arrangements and arrangements in the past few months, and what surprised Shi the most was that Gao Da Hammer made the third company Chang Cheng Zhong secretly establish a good relationship with several orderly soldiers of the second battalion headquarters. After a full meal and drink, Cheng Zhong inadvertently took out a few words from the other party, the most important of which was that Hu Liqun inadvertently said that he was about to become the regiment commander and the third battalion commander Qu Yu was originally the regiment deputy.

Shi had no doubt about Liu Wenfeng's words, he remembered the evaluation of the cavalry that Brigade Commander Zhou said when he left, the brigade commander knew all aspects of their regiment well, obviously not only through their routine reports can be known in such detail, after understanding this layer, the doubts in Shi's heart were also immediately solved, and he was even more contemptuous of Hu Liqun and others calling their brothers and sisters in front of them and stabbing them in the back.

To tell the truth, in the eyes of others, the regiment commander is undoubtedly a chicken rib for the stone, he never thought that he would one day sit in such a high position, if possible, he would like Hu Liqun and them to be the regiment commander, and he is only a small soldier, or a squad platoon leader or other petty officer, in his opinion, being an officer is too painful, thousands of brothers' lives are pressed on his shoulders, so that he is always walking on thin ice, trembling.

However, in order to sit in this position, some people are despicable and shameless to the extreme, and even do not hesitate to exchange the lives of their robed brothers, this practice has undoubtedly touched the bottom line of the stone, making him want to kill him quickly, and what is even more disgusting is that Hu Liqun is calm and calm in front of him, and he can't see the slightest abnormality.

No wonder the brigade commander wants to personally come forward and let their regiment take the lead attack, no wonder he knows that attacking Ruichang at this time is a very dangerous thing, and he will still launch such an offensive, all of this is a conspiracy, just for the position of his regiment commander, with the small actions of Hu Liqun and Qu Yuben, plus his ignorance, their regiment lost this battle, and after losing the battle, can he still be the commander of the regiment? I was appointed by the division commander himself, and if I am defeated, I will lose the face of the division commander, I am afraid that the division commander will let himself get out of the way first, and whether he can save his life is two words.

If Liu Wenfeng hadn't told him these things, he wouldn't have known that in addition to the devils, these "robe brothers" would also kill him, which couldn't help but make him murderous and want to kill all these bastards.

Feeling the cold glow in the stone's eyes, that kind of fierce momentum couldn't help but make Hu Liqun feel uneasy, he forced a laugh, and said, "Does the head of the regiment like the scenery here?" This Minshan is a good place, stretching for dozens of miles of mountains, the terrain is dangerous, and there is a natural reservoir in the mountain, which is the place where the soldiers are stationed. ”

Shi Qiang held back the anger in his heart, tried his best to calm down and said, "Really? Dude has been here? Familiar with this place? ”

"Haha, the main master is here, it was all just told to me by Camp Commander Wang." Hu Liqun also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then said with a smile.

"Camp Commander Wang, can you tell me about the situation here? How many brothers are there in your battalion, and have the devils sent scouts into the mountains? "The stone forced himself not to think about Hu Liqun and them, and sometimes burying things deep in his stomach is the best way.

"Tuanzao, even if this battalion can't do it, Gua Wazi are all security team villagers who don't know what to do, if the devil comes up, I'm afraid it won't work." Wang Lingji spoke in a thick Sichuan accent, which made the stone sound very difficult, but fortunately, Camp Commander Wang spoke slowly, and he could barely understand it.

Hu Liqun looked at him and frowned, and also added on the side: "Commander, this battalion is reorganized from the security team, and the weapons are only half of the team, and it was originally sent here to garrison, but also to prevent rogues from entering the mountains to hide and disturb the surroundings, expecting them to fight devils, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." ”

Shi nodded, pondered for a while, and then asked, "Camp Commander Wang, have you built fortifications?" Where are the main fortifications? ”

Wang Lingji's face suddenly turned red, and his originally dark face turned a little purple, and he couldn't help but squeak: "I didn't have anything to handle, and I didn't know where the enemy was going, so I only dug a few ditches in front." ”

Shi sighed secretly, but he didn't say anything, in his plan, he didn't expect others to help, Liu Wenfeng was right last night, when both the enemy and his own people are calculating you, the only thing you can rely on is yourself.

"In this way, Brother Hu, you take the second battalion to take over the defense line of Battalion Commander Wang, and deploy along this trail with them, and try to widen the depth as much as possible so that you can delay time." Stone thought for a moment and said.

Hu Liqun knew the idea that the stone was preparing to hit Changshan, and when he heard this, he was immediately stunned and asked, "Build fortifications?" Stones, is our battalion here to stay? The hostel made us ......."

Shi waved his hand and said: "This battle can't be rushed, and it can't be rushed, the Minshan line is related to the flanks of the 4th, 18th, and 64th armies of the Nanxun line, and the stakes are very high, and we must not make any mistakes, while the devils have not yet found a way to the De'an line, we will seize the time to deploy defenses, if we can consume most of the devils' troops in this mountainous area, it will be extremely beneficial to our next counteroffensive." ”

Hu Liqun couldn't help but be in a trance when he looked at the stone's calm expression, in the past few months, the time he spent with the stone was not short, but at this moment, he suddenly had a feeling that he couldn't understand this kid, which made him feel quite jealous, but thinking of the words that the brigade commander told him, he couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly and made up his mind.

His youth is not small, he has not gone to a military school, he has only studied in a private school for a few years, and he must not have any backers or the like, he can become the commander of this battalion completely by accumulating military merits and slowly climb up, however, when he saw the stone, he was deeply stimulated, an idiot who couldn't remember anything, an idiot who was a soldier a year ago, in just one year, he actually climbed directly to the position of the regiment commander and became his commander, this kind of stimulation made him almost crazy, in fact, if he was replaced by Lin Xiufeng as the regiment commander, he would not have such a big reactionAfter all, Lin Xiufeng was born in a big family, went to a military school, and knew how to fight, this kind of person is naturally a line higher than them, and the future development prospects are not comparable to them.

But what does the stone have? An idiot who fell from the sky, didn't know where he came from, didn't remember anything before, and only had a bit of brute strength, relied on his luck to climb up suddenly, what kind of world is this? Why can he be the head of the regiment, but I can't? Why can he reach the sky in one step, but I can't?

This kind of thinking deeply stimulated Hu Liqun, so when the brigade commander sent someone to find him, he didn't even want to think about it and swore to serve Brigade Commander Zhou.

However, after the past two or three months, the stone in front of him seemed to have changed again, especially when he had an idea in his heart, that feeling became even more acute, and he faintly felt that this young regiment leader seemed to know something?

This made him shudder, and this kind of thing of lifting his head to play with his life made him feel a chill in his back.

But Shi did not change in the slightest expression when facing him, and then thought that behind him was the brigade commander, he was a lot more relieved, thinking of the ultimate goal of this battle, he warned himself that he must be calm, he must endure, the incident a few days ago, the brigade commander had already sent someone to warn him, he didn't want to make any more mistakes.

"Okay, I'll go to the defense immediately, give me two days, and I must let the surrounding hills be full of machine-gun bunkers, not to mention people, no orders, not even a bird will be spared." After thinking for a while, Hu Liqun finally spoke, with a serious look on his face.

Shi chuckled and said, "Then it's troublesome Brother Hu, if this battle is won, I will definitely personally repay the merit for my brother!" ”
