Section 52 Reconnaissance of Positions

The sound of cicadas and the sound of clear sounds make the endless jungle seem lively and lively. Under the scorching sun, it seems that only these knowledgeable people hidden in the shade of the trees can sing freely without being affected by the heat.

The situation outside the woods is diametrically opposed to the time in the woods, a group of soldiers of the national army dressed in gray cloth uniforms lined up neatly, the steel helmets on their heads seem to emit wisps of green smoke in the sun, obviously the temperature is terrifying, and the appearance of sweating cheeks and backs also clearly shows their situation at the moment, but even if they are sweating like a spring, the heat is unbearable, and the neat team has no signs of scattering.

I don't know how long it took, a military vehicle drove along the rugged mountain road, the body bumped and undulated, and the speed was naturally slow to the extreme, which is no wonder, the mountains around Minshan are continuous, there is no road feasible at all, and the place where it is driving now is still the trail that the people have stepped out of during this time, and the military vehicle can drive here, which is already a blessing.

Without waiting for the military vehicle to stop, Zhou Zhidao hurriedly greeted him, he was sweating profusely, but the buttons of the military uniform were neat and abnormal, and his body did not have the slightly bent posture of the past, but turned straight and straight, giving people a very serious feeling.

"The division has been tired all the way, and this place is ugly, and it is really not well entertained." The car door opened, and without waiting for the people in the car to get down, Zhou Zhidao saluted and said inside, obviously knowing who was coming.

A middle-aged officer about forty years old slowly got out of the car, his thick eyebrows and big eyes, the bridge of his nose was high, and a well-fitting military uniform set off his majestic and upright, and the tiredness of running around did not make him feel any fatigue, but it was the face of the ancient well that gave people a steady atmosphere like a mountain, it was Wang Yaowu, the commander of the 51st Division of the 74th Army.

"Brother Jingfang, don't come unharmed." Wang Yaowu looked at Zhou Zhidao, and then at the neatly groomed officer in the distance, and finally showed a smile on his serious face.

"There is a concern of the labor division, the current situation is acceptable, although the battle situation around Minshan has been repeated from time to time, but it has finally withstood the repeated attacks of the Japanese invaders, and firmly grasps the initiative of the current war situation." Zhou Zhidao put down his subordinates and replied slowly.

Wang Yaowu nodded and said: "I thought that Baili Min Mountain was a natural barrier to the north of De'an, but I didn't know that the more stable the place, the more likely it is to have problems, but fortunately, this place is the garrison of the Jing Fang, my heart is very peaceful, a few days ago I heard that the Jing side recovered Ruichang is a great boost to the morale of the army, Jun Zuo is also ready to report to the army headquarters, please ask for commendation." ”

Zhou Zhidao hurriedly said: "The subordinates of this matter are really ashamed, the battle plan is all drawn up by the division, we just follow the implementation, how dare we take credit." ”

At this time, an officer walked down from the other side of the car, about forty years old, but his appearance was elegant and handsome, making him look much younger than his actual age, with a decent military uniform, and there was a strong bookish smell in his strength, if it weren't for his angular face with a resolute look, I am afraid I really can't believe that he will be a fierce general on the battlefield.

"Why should Brother Jingfang be humble? There was no war on the Minshan front line in the original estimate, and the loss of Ruichang put the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway in danger, but it was beyond the reach of the defenders of our De'an line, but he didn't want Brother Jingfang to use troops like a god, and actually recovered Ruichang in the fire and extinguished the arrogance of the Japanese army. Zhang Lingfu got out of the car and talked eloquently, with a smile on his resolute face, obviously quite kind.

Wang Yaowu didn't react to Zhang Lingfu's interjection, but Zhou Zhidao seemed to be taken aback and said, "Zhonglin is also here?" What a faux pas. ”

"Brother Jingfang is polite, the younger brother heard that the elder brother Ke Ruichang guarded Minshan, and dragged a whole division of the Japanese army on the front line of Ruichang and had to be greatly admired. Zhang Lingfu said with a smile.

Zhou Zhidao's expression was calm, and he immediately nodded in response: "Zhong Lin is too worried, Commander Shi is brave and good at fighting, and his feats are remarkable, the 151 Brigade is really a blessing for my generation to have such a strong general, as colleagues with each other, even if the position is high or low, it is categorically not called the word teaching, but the military regulations are strict, the division seat is strict in governing the army, the rewards and punishments are clear, and everything will be done in accordance with the military order." ”

Wang Yaowu snorted lightly, obviously knowing the meaning of their words back and forth, and at this time he seemed to say casually: "The things in the army are simple to say, but they are just the four words of fairness and justice, meritorious service must be rewarded, and if there is a fault, it will be punished, so that the order can be forbidden, invincible, Jingfang, I heard that the Japanese invaders attacked Minshan, I don't know what the battle situation is ahead?" ”

"It's safe for the time being, Commander Shi is brave, at this time he is leading the 302nd Regiment to deploy defenses around the trail, the Japanese army has been blocked for many days, and the sharp spirit has been lost, and there is no movement for the time being." Zhou Zhidao immediately responded.

Wang Yaowu nodded, raised his eyes and saw that the officers in front of him were still neatly lined up to greet him, and he couldn't help waving his hand and said: "In the scorching heat, these false gifts can be avoided, and it is important to let the brothers have some physical strength to deal with the attack of the devils." Seeing Zhou Zhidao nodding yes, he continued: "The forest is stalemate, the conditions are bad, there must be no mistakes in the supply of the various departments in the line of fire, if we lose troops and land because of this, it is our incompetence, as an official, if you can't even solve these things for your subordinates, it will really make the brothers feel cold, and make the departments lose the spirit of victory." ”

"What the master said is extremely true, but now that Mahuiling is occupied by the Japanese invaders, it is not appropriate for the grain and grass in De'an to be transported here, and I urged it several times before, but it didn't work." Zhou Zhidao immediately poured bitter water and said.

"It doesn't matter, although the Japanese invaders captured Mahuiling Town cut off our army's retreat, but the mountain road is difficult to walk, the strength of the Mahuiling line is limited, and it can not cause substantial damage to our army. Wang Yaowu said slowly.

Zhang Lingfu also couldn't help but add: "The terrain of the Nanxun Line is complicated, and the road from Jiujiang to De'an is even more mountainous, in fact, even if there is no matter of Ma Huiling, it is not a good thing to retreat, and furthermore, the target of the Japanese army is Wuhan, and the Japanese army has limited troops in the battle on the south bank, if you can take advantage of this opportunity to paralyze the other side, so as to find a good opportunity to break the enemy and hit the enemy, you must also be able to win a lot of opportunities for the battlefield on the north bank." ”

"Zhong Lin's appetite is a little too big." Wang Yaowu couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

Zhou Zhidao praised: "Since Brother Yaozong was seconded to the 40th Division as the division commander, and Zhong Lin temporarily took the position of brigade commander, Zhong Lin has become more and more decisive. ”

"This matter can not be done by our current strength, so we don't need to spend too much thought, in the case of several divisions of the Japanese army cooperating with each other, obeying the orders of the upper peak, and the positions of the various departments are the top priority, Zhong Lin is certainly quick and thoughtful, but you must also know that in his position, blindly dreaming can not change the overall situation." Wang Yaowu couldn't help but restrain his expression, and said with a slightly serious expression.

Whether it was Zhou Zhidao or Zhang Lingfu, they couldn't help but be shocked when they saw this, and from their expressions, there was no doubt that they were in awe of the teacher in front of them.

The position of the 301st Regiment is not far from the Jiangjiashan in front, I don't know if it is because Zhou Zhidao came, or this is the last exit of the Minshan Trail, the 301st Regiment can be described as a big construction here, in the case of the 302nd Regiment in front of them, they do not need to worry too much, the progress is very fast, although it is far less than the defense line on the periphery of De'an, but it can open up such a scale in the mountains and forests, it is enough to see their intentions, in this regard, Wang Yaowu did not hesitate to praise it.

Then Wang Yaowu's actions frightened Zhou Zhidao and others, the division actually wanted to go to the 302 regiment position regardless of the danger, which made them very uneasy, you must know that from the situation brought back by Guo Yan, the situation in the 302 regiment is really not good, the gap between the position and the Japanese army is very short, a careless devil can break into their position, the danger can be imagined, and what is the situation of the 302 regiment now? Being in the jungle, facing the threat in front all day long, you don't have to think about it to know the situation of the whole regiment, this has to be seen by the division, and after comparing the situation here with them, it is inevitable that you will not have any ideas.

But no matter how Zhou Zhidao persuaded him, Wang Yaowu seemed to have made up his mind, and only accompanied by a few staff officers in his entourage, he walked straight into the woods, completely forgetting the maxim that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall.

In the depths of the woods, Shi took the water bladder handed by Xiao Shandong and poured it hard, and immediately stared at the thorny woods in front of him and asked, "How is it?" The devil still hasn't moved? ”

Xiao Shandong nodded and said, "Do you think this devil has retreated?" There's only a handful of people left in front of you scaring us? ”

Shi thought about it, and then laughed, a face full of tiredness that was extremely inconsistent with his youth suddenly lost that old-fashioned feeling, and he chuckled: "This is not good, maybe the devil can't win the battle, even if he deliberately wants to be paralyzed and lax, we may not necessarily." ”

At this moment, the beard ran from a distance and said in a panic: "Tuan...... Commander, the division seat is here. ”

Shi Shi was stunned for a moment, and immediately reprimanded: "What nonsense? How could Shiza come to this place? ”
