Section 44 Enemy Tracks

The night seemed to be darker than every, as if it had not been long before the day had already darkened, which made Stone very anxious and sighed secretly.

From receiving the order from the brigade headquarters to the withdrawal of the 301st Regiment from Minshan, this series of actions was too hasty, and it completely turned the situation in the blink of an eye, making them go from worry-free to dangerous, the fatal place was here, the time was too short, and the time left for them to lay out the defensive line was really pitiful.

Although after the stone withdrew here, the first and second battalions took turns to build positions, but because of the existence of Ruichang, they were not in a hurry, and their main energy was still on the preparation and training of the troops, especially the third cavalry battalion, which simply withdrew to the area around the reservoir.

Who would have thought that the behemoth of Ruichang was so vulnerable, and it collapsed without even any signs, and the brigade commander even said that he would withdraw, without giving them the slightest chance to turn around, which made them highly busy all afternoon, and did their best to make up for the loss, but the time was too short, and the light of digging a pit and setting a trap in front of the position almost exhausted all their time, as for the position in front of them, where can they still take care of it?

Stone slowly closed his eyes, let out a long breath, the smell of sweat in the fresh air of the woods not only did not make him feel uncomfortable, but a sense of steadiness, for more than a year, this smell has always been with them for a moment, he is used to this kind of life, as if he is used to staying in the squad platoon stroke, even if he is now a mass of chiefs, this feeling has not abated and disappeared.

The surroundings are very quiet, except for the unknown insects in all corners are chirping, no other sounds can be heard, although there are jackals and beasts in Minshan, but the horror of human beings is far from being comparable to those beasts, especially these soldiers who are used to fighting seem to exude a chilling murderous aura from top to bottom, and it is even more extinct for birds and beasts within a radius of several miles.

This kind of silence quieted Shishi's irritable heart, and suddenly, he whispered: "Xiao Shandong, what are you thinking?" ”

"Ah" A surprised voice came from the darkness on the side, obviously Xiao Shandong on the side did not expect the stone to suddenly ask in this situation, and then he said: "No, it's nothing! ”

Shi chuckled, and a smile immediately appeared on his solemn face, he who hadn't laughed for a long time was a lot more relaxed at this moment, and even the feeling of exhaustion was much weaker, it seemed that only when he stayed with Xiao Shandong, he would take off all his disguises and turn back into the idiot who didn't understand anything when he was in Luodian.

"None? In the past, you would have slept with a snoring sound, why haven't you moved until now tonight? Shi said, and said even more jokingly: "Xiao Shandong, you can't do this, you are my regimental unit, and you need to be responsible for my safety." ”

Xiao Shandong stretched out his hand and scratched his head, not knowing how to answer for a while, and after a while, he sighed and said, "Brother Shi, you said that there are no ghosts in this world." ”

Shi smiled stiffly, and said in surprise: "What the hell? ”

"I've heard people say that people become ghosts when they die, and ghosts can see us in the sky, and they can bless people they know." Xiao Shandong said seriously.

The stone was immediately speechless, and his mind didn't have the slightest impression of these things being blank, but he instinctively felt that this was unlikely, if there was really any ghost, then it wouldn't be messed up, and the dead brother would have to fight with the little devil's ghost again? That's endless.

"Let's go to bed early, the devil doesn't know when he will fight, once the war starts, he can't sleep peacefully, as for what the hell is not a ghost, we will naturally know when we die." Shi said calmly, his tone was full of helplessness, obviously very uncomfortable with such a battle without initiative.

After Xiao Shandong's conversation box was opened, it was obviously a little unbearable, he couldn't help but straighten up, and said quite excitedly: "Brother Shi, you said that if there are really ghosts, then if we die, then can't you see Uncle Meng, Brother Zhuzi, and Brother Big Axe?" I...... I can't even remember what they look like. ”

As soon as he said this, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind, and blurred faces floated in front of him, very familiar but there was a sense of strangeness, and suddenly, he didn't know whether it was true or false, so that people couldn't tell the difference. There were too many battles, for a whole year, he went from one battlefield to another, and he almost never stopped, this kind of constant fighting also began to numb their nerves, and the continuous death and departure of countless Pao Ze brothers made him lose his usual sadness and become very indifferent.

"Brother Shi, can we win this battle?" Xiao Shandong looked at the stone and stopped talking, and asked again.

Shi thought for a while, then nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, we can definitely win, we have a whole regiment stationed, we are familiar with the environment here, and there is sufficient ammunition and food and grass, the devil has no heavy artillery, and he can't spread the formation, and it is difficult to capture the position, unless the devil throws the entire division up." ”

"Then how can the second and third battalions not be able to hold it?" Xiao Shandong asked a little disbelievingly.

"How can a person whose mind is not on the battlefield win the devil? Forget it, don't talk about this, Hu Qu and the two brothers are also heroic, and they finally died well for the country, and the battlefield is a place where strength speaks after all. The stone sighed as he spoke, closed his eyes again, and talked about the battlefield again, as if he was very tired.

And Xiao Shandong, after feeling the heavy thoughts of the stone, also closed his mouth and looked up at the sky that was pitch black and could not see anything, and he didn't know if he was thinking about the dilemma in front of him, or thinking about whether there were ghosts in this world.

None of them knew that while they were talking casually, there was a sudden sound of Hihisoso in front of the woods, and a deliberately suppressed voice scolded: "Yaga, be careful. ”

A disturbed "Hi" echo broke the silence in the woods, and the sound of Nashisoso disappeared and the woods became quiet again.

However, this noise also revealed the hidden things in the woods, and the swearing Japanese was a sign of the existence of the Japanese army, indicating that a bloody battle was coming.

"Suzuki-kun, let the team slow down a little and readjust the formation." A deep voice suddenly sounded in the dark woods, cold and ruthless, like a venomous snake coiled, giving people a chilling feeling.

"Hi" answered, only to see a figure rushing forward, a few steps later, completely blended into the darkness, so that they could no longer capture his traces, the woods were too dark, and it was difficult for them to move forward in such a situation, especially in this situation full of thorns.

Mita Xiufeng squinted his eyes slightly, and after the deputy captain left, he said softly: "Your Excellency, there should still be a long time before the position of the Zhina people here, and slowing down at this time may delay the attack for a while." ”

This person on the side is the 3rd Brigade of the 7th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army, Sasagawa San, his thin body is standing in this wood, no different from a few days ago, but who can know that his heart is really mixed at the moment, all kinds of tastes, a few days ago, when he commanded the elite of the brigade was about to capture this hidden path in the jungle, but it was hit one after another, first Jiangjiashan fell, and the grain and grass escorted by their brigade were simply lost, and then they got the news that the army of China went straight to Gaoling Village, This made Sasagawa San completely lose the courage to continue to stay here, and gave up the fat to his mouth, and instead retreated deeper into the woods.

Fortunately, his luck was not bad, the end of the total annihilation of the first brigade set off their bravery, and the wing captain Izuo Kazuo did not blame them in this situation, but made up for their shortcomings in the shortest possible time, and made a comeback with the counteroffensive of the brigade. However, what made Sasagawa three embarrassed was that after the capture of Ruichang, the wing captain asked them to cooperate with the second brigade to go straight to Minshan, after learning that there was a trail to De'an, not only the wing commander was very excited, but also the brigade headquarters asked about the situation here, and personally set the attack strategy, and the third brigade, which had fought here for a night, undoubtedly became the most suitable main attack.

However, Sasakawa San didn't think so, and finally took his subordinates to pick up a life, and afterwards Sasagawa San analyzed the battle situation here in detail, and came to the conclusion that he was afraid, from the small-scale attack halfway to the surprise attack of Jiangjiashan, plus they unexpectedly found that the Minshan trail came to attack with troops, all of which were traps laid by the other party, one link after another, making people involuntarily jump into the fire pit, and the final result was naturally that Jiangjiashan's troops were empty and were defeated by a blow.

Compared with the opponent's strong strength, he actually cares more about the enemy's amazing plan, and can plan all the steps almost seamlessly, what kind of intelligence does such an enemy have? Such a terrible opponent is guarding Minshan, will they fall into the trap of the other party again in this battle?

Sasagawa San didn't know who the enemy on the other side was, but he had to be careful when he ate a trench and grew wise.

"The speed can be slowed down a little, since the second brigade is eager to make meritorious service, let them go up first." Sasagawa San finally spoke, categorically rejecting the chief of staff's reminder, and the conservative and cautious caution of the people of Ishikawa Prefecture was undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
