Section 62 Lion Rock

Section 62 Lion Rock

September 26, cloudy.

A layer of dark clouds floated in the sky, blocking the penetration of light, making the early morning heaven and earth lose their former light, and look a little gloomy and depressing. In addition, the golden autumn weather is far less hot than midsummer, and in the early hours of the morning, it makes people feel a biting chill, and unconsciously the upper and lower teeth touch together, and a shiver is shivered.

The stone shrunk behind a piece of bluestone, looking intently at a crumpled piece of yellow paper. The paper was worn, apparently some years old, and the lines of various thicknesses on it were somewhat illegible because of the wrinkles, which made the stone frown together when he looked at it, and it looked very difficult.

The regimental company commander beard led a squad of guards around the stone, and the training and cooperation between them for up to half a year has greatly improved their tacit understanding, and there is no need to use too many orders and words to express, often a look and a gesture can let them know each other's thoughts. Now more than a dozen soldiers seemed to be randomly distributed around, but they firmly held the place leading to the stone, and within twenty or thirty steps, they were all under their control.

The quiet and tranquil atmosphere did not make these soldiers slack off in the slightest, especially the regimental headquarters attached to Xiao Shandong, even more tense faces, quite vigilantly looking around, continuous battles and cruel reality made him grow up quickly, and now those young faces have long since lost the youth and immaturity of the past, and the gradually clear facial lines have also begun to show a fierce momentum.

"Staff Officer Guo, are you sure that our current location is Lion Rock?" After looking at the map for a long time, Shi finally shook his head helplessly and sighed and asked.

On the side, a captain officer wrapped in a thin quilt curled up behind a piece of bluestone to rest, heard the sound and just stretched out his hand to tighten the corner of the quilt, as if he felt the cold of the early morning, a little uncomfortable, and then said inarticulately: "There will be no mistake Captain Shi, this is Lion Rock, ten miles away from Zhang Gushan and 30 miles away from De'an." ”

Hearing Guo Yan's clear answer, Shishi's brows became more and more wrinkled, and he looked up and looked around, the emerald green peaks under the fresh air in the early morning seemed to be able to drip water, and the endless mountains were also refreshing to see, but this situation made Shishi even more confused, and couldn't help but look at the map again.

Is this really Lion Rock? On the old map, the location of the map is only roughly marked, but in fact, the surrounding mountains are almost the same, and in this case, it is extremely difficult to find out the location marked on the map. Although Guo Yan had given him a positive answer more than once, Shi Shi did not dare to be careless and relaxed.

"Tuanza, we received an order to hurry here early yesterday morning, and the order we got was to let us defend Lion Rock, but judging from the current situation, is there something wrong?" Chief of Staff Wu Zihuai sat on the mountain stone and looked around, his expression was similar to that of the stone, and he also showed deep doubts, and his expression was full of puzzlement.

A few of their conversations also woke up the rest of the crowd, who were tired from running around all day yesterday, which obviously made most people feel a little unbearable.

Liu Wenfeng lifted the thin quilt on his body and sat up straight, he looked around, saw the stone standing there and looking at the distance and couldn't help but say: "Stone, this is really Lion Rock?" Staff Officer Guo is not mistaken, right? Shangfeng 100,000 rushed us here to garrison, it doesn't look like anything abnormal? ”

Wu Zihuai also nodded and said: "This is a continuous mountain range, a bit similar to the situation in Minshan, there is no road, no village, and it deviates from the direction to De'an, it is a bit unreasonable for Shangfeng to let us come here to garrison, how could a devil come to this kind of place?" There are no roads, a typical Jedi. ”

Shi Shi was silent, obviously agreeing with their judgment, however, there must be no mistake in the order, not to mention that Guo Yan personally came to supervise the battle and lead the way, there should be no mistake in that place, what is the problem?

"I said earlier, those Shangguan all eat rice, will they fight? If they could fight, they would not have lost Songhu, Nanjing, Xuzhou, and now even De'an and Wuhan will be lost. After leading the cavalry battalion to train for a period of time, they had to follow the large army to withdraw from Minshan, and the arranged training plan was interrupted, most of the brothers in the cavalry battalion were just able to ride their horses, and they didn't know how to assemble in formation, and they didn't know how to charge with their swords, so they had to stop, which made him the battalion commander hold back a vicious anger in his heart, and the previous fiery temper also broke out involuntarily.

"Liu Dacang, you kid is now the battalion commander, and you don't know how to restrain yourself when you talk as before, so you are not afraid of being heard, so you will be removed from your post and let you go to prison?" Liu Wenfeng couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, full of ridicule.

Liu Taiping was also unequivocal, and immediately said loudly: "Bird, it is better to squat in his mother's prison to fight with such a chief, at least you don't have to worry about this idleness and suffer from this bird's anger." If you don't keep Minshan, you run this bird place to let off steam, what kind of battle is this fucking fighting? There's a fucking problem with your brain. ”

"Battalion Commander Liu, you can't say that, this order was directly issued by the division headquarters, and even the brigade seat didn't know what was going on, sometimes, things are not as simple as imagined." Guo Yan obviously couldn't sleep, in the louder and louder quarrels of everyone, he couldn't help but sit up, and said with a wry smile, at this moment, he didn't put on the prestige of supervising the war staff, but had a helpless look, if he was the officers of the 302nd regiment.

Liu Taiping didn't seem to be angry, and opened his mouth and said: "Bird, Staff Officer Guo, don't say good things for the brigade, who doesn't know ......"

Shi raised his hand and interrupted Liu Taiping's words, although he did not say anything, but the longer he was in the position of the head of the regiment, the stronger the aura of the superior on his body, and there was an irresistible strength in every gesture, which made people impressed, and did not dare to have the slightest slackness, especially Liu Taiping and others, after seeing the unfathomable combat command skills of Shi, they were even more impressed.

"Staff Officer Guo, according to the order we received earlier, our 302nd Regiment will build a defensive line on the front line of Lion Rock and hold the position, right?" Shi saw that the surroundings were quiet, so he turned to Guo Yan and said.

Guo Yan nodded and said seriously: "Captain Shi, I guarantee with my head that this is Lion Rock, and there will be no mistake." ”

Shi nodded, looked at Guo Yan, saw that he did not have the slightest hesitation, and immediately said affirmatively: "The first battalion is on the left, the second battalion is on the right, immediately build a defensive line of fortifications along the two wings of this mountain, the front of the position is mostly based on stones, which can strengthen the solidity of the position, in addition, the position can be extended forward, relying on the front mountain ridge to ensure the geographical advantage, here is the main position of the regimental headquarters, and the first battalion and the second battalion are arranged in an inverted zigzag, which can give you support at any time." ”

"Tuanza, where is the position of our three battalions?" Liu Taiping immediately asked.

"The third battalion is the general reserve of the regiment, and the position is set up behind the mountain ridge, and assists the supplementary battalion in handling the grain, grass and baggage." After Shi finished speaking, he said to Guo Yan: "As for the supply of war horses, forage, grain, grass and ammunition, I also ask Staff Officer Guo to urge the brigade headquarters, now our regiment is a long distance from De'an, and the road is mostly mountainous wasteland, transportation is inconvenient, and the baggage must be prepared in advance to avoid accidents." ”

Guo Yan nodded and said, "This is how it should be, in this regard, before setting off, the brigade seat has already made arrangements and instructions." However, Commander Shi, our 151st Brigade and even the entire 51st Division do not have a separate cavalry battalion, and the grain and grass of hundreds of war horses are heavy, but the amount of forage and other materials is greatly beyond expectations, and there is really a shortage of forage and other materials. To tell the truth, I am not afraid of Commander Shi's blame, in my opinion, it is really not cost-effective to establish a cavalry battalion, and it is difficult to pass the establishment, not to mention that our brigade will definitely not be able to get the weapons and equipment equipped for the cavalry, and it will take a long time to train a cavalry with combat ability, which is no joke. ”

"Captain Shi, the war horse is not as good as a person, if you have it, you can eat more, if you don't eat less, when you are fighting, this horse not only has to eat horse material, but also has to put in enough fine material to have the strength to run, and there are very few supplements of slow horses, but it is very delicate." Guo Yan seemed to have endured it for a long time, and couldn't help but say.

Shi pondered for a while, but his face did not change at all, presumably this is not the first time he has heard of this, and immediately said calmly: "Before, we ambushed a brigade of the Japanese army in Gaoling Village, although the weapons and ammunition were basically handed over to the brigade headquarters, but there was a lot of grain and grass left, which was enough for the cavalry battalion for the time being. ”

Guo Yan was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Since Tuanzuo has already considered it, I will immediately urge the matter of grain and grass, and please don't hesitate to deploy defense immediately, I think, since the officials have such an arrangement, they must be completely sure." ”

The stone was not verbose, and even continued to say to the officers of the 302nd Regiment: "The reconnaissance company immediately disperses to the west, and at least 10 miles away to detect the situation, we must find out our current situation, whether there are devils around us." ”

[I went to Suzhou for a week of training, and I came back last night, and I thought about it all morning before I remembered where I wrote, tragedy! Continue to update the struggle to kill the devil!! 】
