Section 46 The Great War is Imminent

The Japanese retreated, and the impact just now made them suffer heavy losses, and the dense firepower of the people of China made them even more impressed, and they were greatly frightened, and in the case of this overgrown weeds and vines, they could not speed up at all, and the dense fire blockade made them have no way.

In particular, in such a situation where it is impossible to distinguish the direction at all, it is simply difficult to carry out the outflanking detour, and the originally agreed attack strategy cannot but be invalidated on the spot.

The woods gradually became noisy, the Japanese troops who withdrew from the line of fire were in a mess, the pain of the wounded* was even more miserable and helpless, and the Japanese army was alone and had no follow-up support, especially when the medical soldiers were scattered, the helplessness was even more prominent, the hammer pain of the bullet embedded in the flesh not only tortured the wounded themselves, but the terrible shouts were also destroying everyone's nerves and weakening their fighting spirit.

The Japanese commander was very anxious, but they lost all the games with a wrong move, and they had no choice but to wait for dawn in such a situation.

It was a desperate and suffocating night for the Japanese troops who broke through to Minshan, and a fear of never being the same enveloped around them, making them seem lonely and helpless, so that when the sky began to brighten and the darkness began to blur a little, they couldn't help but let out bursts of cheers, as if death had been driven away by them.

Sasagawa San and his third brigade finally arrived, and under the leadership of a few scouts, several officers rushed here through several simple sentry paths, and from a distance away, they saw the inoue Xuanichiro Shaosa with a gloomy expression.

"Zuo Zuo-kun, you're late." As soon as he saw Sasagawa San, Sonichiro Inoue snorted coldly and said.

Sasagawa San's expression was unwavering, as if he had expected this, but asked calmly: "Inoue-kun, how is the battle going?" The woods were so dark that we were off course and almost stuck in the mountains, but we changed direction after hearing the gunshots, otherwise it's hard to say when we would have arrived. ”

Inoue Xuanichiro's cold expression couldn't help but be even more shrouded in a chill, how could he believe that they wouldn't get lost when they first rushed to this ghost place to fight, and the Sasa brigade, which had already fought a few games here, would get lost? Isn't this a joke? But he didn't have much to say, so he could only snort coldly and said: "Zuo Zuojun, the people of China have been on guard for a long time, and the woods are full of traps, which is not the same as the information you described earlier." ”

Sasakawa San was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head and said helplessly: "Inoue-kun, that was the intelligence a few days ago, at that time, Ruichang had not been occupied by the Shina army, and now some changes are normal, this trail is related to the safety of the side and back of the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Shina people, and it is natural to be well-defended, I don't know what Inoue-kun plans to do next?" ”

Inoue Senichiro seemed to have a bad relationship with Sasagawa San, and after hearing this, he just waved his hand disdainfully and said: "Let's gather the troops first, we lost the best opportunity last night, and then it will be difficult to fight, Sasa-kun, the attack plan was drawn up by the brigade headquarters, and the task cannot be completed, not only are we not good at handing over, but it is also difficult for Excellency Iza and His Excellency Fuji." ”

Sasakawa nodded indifferently and said, "This is natural, Inoue-kun is the main commander of this battle, and our brigade will definitely fully cooperate." "Anyway, Sasakawa San is guilty and left, although the third brigade is not bad, but the night is too dark, and the situation of personnel scattering is also very serious, if you want to reassemble the team, at least you have to wait until the sky is bright, and the team has to rest, I'm afraid this time will be longer.

At the same time that the Japanese army was in trouble, the position of the 302nd regiment was also a busy scene, although the night attack of the Japanese army last night did not have any effect, but the enemy could come back at any time not far ahead, in view of the strong force of the Japanese army, this gave them huge psychological pressure, so that the expression on everyone's face was extremely dignified.

Beside him were busy Xiao Shandong and others, who wielded shovels and struggled to strengthen the fortifications in front of them, wanting to dig the trench a little deeper, however, their efforts had limited effect, the soil in the mountains was densely rooted, and the difficulty was far greater than they imagined, even if they were tired and sweaty, they only dug down a few inches.

Xiao Shandong finally stopped, gasped and glanced at the thorny woods in front of him and asked, "Brother Shi, when will the devil come up?" ”

"I don't know, why don't you go and ask the devil?" Stone said in a slightly playful tone.

"I want to ask, but I can't speak Oriental dialect, and I can't understand what the little devil says." Xiao Shandong said while wiping his sweat.

"Then we have to wait, and when the little devils come and they are interested, they will come." Stone said calmly.

Xiao Shandong looked at the stone that was half lying there strangely, and asked a little puzzled: "Brother Shi, are you not afraid?" One of our regiments was thrown in the mountains by a lonely man like this, facing a division of devils, why aren't you in a hurry? ”

The stone looked at him and couldn't help but ask, "Afraid?" What's the use of being afraid, if I say I'm afraid, Shangfeng will let us leave, and the devil won't come, I will definitely say I'm afraid. ”

Xiao Shandong smiled innocently, reached out and touched his head and said: "Brother Shi, I can't talk about you, I just think that there are too many devils this time, and it is really difficult for us to do so, and the fortifications in the mountains are so difficult to dig, there are tree roots below, and I can't get a shovel for half a day." ”

"The fortifications are a little more difficult to get, but there are also benefits in the mountains, there are so many trees, the devil's cannon can't be used, and no matter how many people there are, they can't rush up at once, as long as they don't let the devil touch close at night, they can block the devil in front and can't pass, no matter how many people there are, it's useless." The stone talked eloquently, looking confident, which made Xiao Shandong also secretly sigh to himself.

Cheng Yong, the commander of the guard platoon, ran quickly, turned his head and looked around, only Xiao Shandong was a little closer, which made him feel at ease, and after saluting Xiao Shandong with his hand, he lowered his voice and said to the stone: "Tuanzuo, Staff Officer Guo is here." ”

Shi sat up suddenly, and said in surprise: "That Staff Officer Guo who came yesterday? ”

Cheng Yong nodded, looked around with vigilant eyes, and looked very calm and capable, but the stone didn't have time to care about these, and immediately lost his previous leisurely and jumped up and said, "Go, take me over." ”

Guo Yan is chatting with Lin Xiufeng, although the status of each other is far apart, but as the staff officer of the brigade headquarters, he can always make people polite three points, after all, the seven-rank officer in front of the prime minister, the staff officer of the brigade headquarters represents the dignity of the brigade commander, and no one will joke about their future, of course, crazy people like stones are really a minority.

Yu Guang saw the stone coming, Guo Yan's eyes on his round face immediately narrowed into a slit, and he quickly greeted him and saluted from afar and said, "Commander Shi, I came to assist Commander Shi in arranging the defense on the order of the brigade seat." ”

Shi sneered in his heart, what he said was good, assisting in the deployment, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than supervising the battle, for fear that they will not listen to the command and come nonsense again, but if they really want to come nonsense, what is the use of a staff officer? Shi couldn't help but think disdainfully, but his face remained calm as usual, and he saluted back and said, "Staff Officer Guo has worked hard, has the brigade arrived in De'an?" ”

"The brigade will not return to De'an, and in order to facilitate the command, the brigade has decided to set up the headquarters in Huimaling, so as not to be too far away from the front line." Guo Yan said in detail.

"Back to Maling?" Shi was stunned for a moment, and even though he was relieved, Huimaling was about 30 miles closer to them than De'an, and because of the tense war on the Nanxun Line, Huimaling has now become a transit place for the main forces of various departments, gathering a large number of troops and materials, and it is more convenient in all aspects, especially the supply can be solved on the spot.

Guo Yan saw that the stone was silent, and couldn't help but explain on the side: "I received a telegram from the division headquarters last night, in view of the increasingly fierce fighting on the front line, the corps headquarters has planned to transfer the logistics supply to the area of Huimaling to facilitate scheduling, and the first batch of supplies needed by the 302nd regiment will be delivered tomorrow at the latest." ”

Shi couldn't help frowning and said, "Tomorrow? Tomorrow is too late, the devils will definitely attack in the afternoon, and we will need a lot of ammunition supplies in the afternoon. ”

Guo Yan was startled, looked around nervously, and then asked in surprise: "Captain Shi, did the devil call?" ”

This time it was Shi Shi's turn to be surprised, he looked at Staff Officer Guo from top to bottom, and then asked puzzledly: "Staff Officer Guo still doesn't know?" ”

Seeing Guo Yan shaking his head and the silent appearance of everyone on the side, Shi suddenly said, "The devil has touched it last night, fortunately, the brothers are on guard, otherwise this place may have been lost." ”

Guo Yan was really taken aback, you must know that they were still in Ruichang yesterday, although the devil had a fierce momentum, no one thought that the action would be so fast, and it was actually in front of him? After he was shocked, he couldn't help asking, "How many devils are there?" Captain Shi, it's so dark in the woods at night, how can these devils recognize the way? ”

"It's too dark, I don't know how many people came, but fortunately the night is too dark, otherwise, the devils will rush up, we are really not sure to be able to defend it, now the devils should be assembling and resting, and when they rush again, they should be able to roughly know the situation of the other party, Staff Officer Guo, the defensive battle in the woods is to fight for consumption, and the supply can be as fast as possible."

Guo Yan immediately said: "I asked the orderlies to report the situation here back to the brigade headquarters, but Commander Shi, it should take a lot of time to go back and forth. ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can arrive before dark, Staff Officer Guo will be of great help." Stone said unconcernedly.

[I'm going to be promoted again, and I've been training recently, so I'm really tangled. 】
