Section 76 Bloody Battle of Ten Thousand Battles Ridge VIII

Hearing that Shi Yingyun led the 302nd regiment to guard until dark, Guo Yan's tense face finally showed a smile, the time he spent with Shi was not long, but from the contact between the two, he could see that this young regiment commander was definitely a man of his word and promised to be righteous. A person who dared to risk arrows and stones for the sake of his dozens of brothers and personally led the team to kill the tiger's den will inevitably be sonorous and will do what he says.

Now it has been more than a whole day since they came to Lion Rock, counting, even if the easternmost Xingzi area is transferred over, it is almost there, the commander of the 29th Army Corps, Li Hanhuo, is leading the Eighth Army of the Fourth Army of the Ninth Army and the 29th Army Corps to deploy defense in the second line of the Wushimen Formation, and it is not very likely that he will come to participate in the battle, but because of the contraction of the defense line, the 39th Corps of Commander Wang (Wang Jingjiu) has been completely recovered, plus the 20th Group Army that has been maneuvering on the front line of De'an, There are not many troops that can be mobilized, and given the complexity of the terrain, it is not necessary to say that these friendly forces, as long as their entire 74th Army is transferred, it is basically impossible for the Japanese to break through their defense line and kill De'an. This made Guo Yan feel reassured, and estimated that his errand could be completed without danger.

However, before Guo Yan could breathe a sigh of relief, a series of sentry scouts had already galloped from a distance ahead, riding one after another, looking magnificent and eager. Standing on the top of the Lion Rock Mountain, they could see the situation ahead clearly, and only from the eager whipping of the knights on the horses, it seemed that they could see their slightly frightened and anxious expressions.

The stone calmed down at this time, he sighed softly, and then muttered, "Already here?" The devil is coming so fast! ”

The surrounding people immediately looked solemn and stopped speaking, although they had won two battles in a row from last night to now, but they all knew that the previous battle was just an appetizer, a real feast, and it had only just begun until now.

"Tell the two battalion commanders Liu and Gao, if you can keep the rules, if you can't give up the positions on both wings and retreat to the main peak, it won't be long before it gets dark, find a way to delay the time, and if necessary, I will lead the third battalion to fight for them to fight for the opportunity to adjust." Stone didn't care about the exhaustion of his body and straightened his body to look into the distance, the edge of the woods in the distance, at this moment there was already a touch of loess color, like an overwhelming mud flow, people had a feeling that they couldn't resist at all, however, at the moment they had no choice, they could only rely on the simple fortifications to give it a go.

Accompanied by a group of officers, he walked up a dirt slope and quietly observed Yokotan in front of the road and the mountain peaks while holding up the telescope hanging from his chest. The mountain in front is not high, but there is a slope on each side of the main peak, like a male lion lying on the ground with his eyes closed, and the small slopes on the left and right sides are like the two front paws of a lion, which looks soft and cute, but the mountain knows that once the claws show sharp teeth, it can kill people.

He was not tall, thin and thin, and his hands holding the binoculars were even more skinny and bruised, and with a slightly wooden expression, there was almost no difference from an ordinary old man.

But how could a Japanese major general, the brigade commander of the 111th Infantry Brigade, be an ordinary old man? How ordinary is a commander who controls the power of tens of thousands of soldiers to seize power and is responsible for attacking cities and plundering land? Not to mention anything else, the respectful demeanor of the many officers on the side alone has clearly told everyone that under the ordinary appearance of the mountains, there is a terrifying Nohna.

"Your Excellency, are you attacking immediately?" Wing Commander Tanaka Seimichi of the Kumamoto Wing (113th Infantry Wing) looked at the brigade commander's slow movements and unhurried expression, and finally couldn't hold back and asked.

Tanaka Shengdao is just in his early 30s, with a long tiger's back and a bear's waist, a thick beard on his lower forehead and a pair of copper bell-like eyes, Gu Pan gives people a brutal and rude atmosphere, plus a strong muscle that almost breaks the military uniform, which can't help but be intimidating.

Shan Di Wataru ignored Tanaka's question, and while looking at the mountains in front of him with a telescope, he said as if talking to himself: "Although the mountain is not high, it is undulating, and there are peaks and ridges attached to it in front of the mountain as horns, and it can be attacked and retreated. This mountain alone is enough to beat a wing. ”

A white-faced officer like a scholar couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "The land of the people of China is magnificent and vast, the mountains are majestic and steep, and the rivers are endless for thousands of miles, like the water in the sky, but it is a pity that the people of China are weak and incompetent, and it is really a tyrannical thing to occupy such a place. ”

The mountain gentleman put down the binoculars and looked at the officer who spoke approvingly, the same set of military uniforms, wearing on his body and wearing it on the body of Tanaka Shengdao is very different, not only the difference in figure, the elegant atmosphere, from the bones, permeated his whole body, just usually go there to stop, that kind of scholarly temperament is unreservedly revealed.

"Sonoda-kun, what do you think of this battle?" There is not the slightest shelf in the mountains, and the relaxed tone is as casual as chatting with his own nephews.

The white scholar is called Yoshio Sonoda, and he is the captain of the capital wing (the 147th infantry wing), and the tall and mighty man next to him is the same fierce general in the mountains, and the two of them each command an infantry wing, which seems to complement each other.

Hearing the official's question, Yoshio Sonoda bowed respectfully and replied, "In front of Your Excellency, your subordinates don't dare to speak indiscriminately. ”

Shan Di couldn't help but smile, his expression was like a kind old man, which made people feel a strong warmth, he smiled and shook his head and said: "Sonoda-kun, they are all loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, but the division of labor is slightly different, how dare you say it?" If you have any ideas, just say it. ”

"Hi" Yoshio Sonoda bowed again, and then said: "Your Excellency, the division headquarters has ordered the 136 Brigade and the cavalry wing to follow up, it seems that they want to kill under De'an City in the shortest possible time, according to the previous investigation and fighting, the Chinese army in front of him should only be about one regiment, the only thing that is a little strange is that it is equipped with a lot of cavalry, which is very different from the Chinese army that is usually encountered, but no matter what, the strength of the Chinese army in front of it is very different from our army, and the threat is not great, in the opinion of his subordinates, It's all it takes. Yoshio Sonoda replied in detail.

Yamachi nodded slowly, with that warm and flat smile on his face, so that people could not feel the slightest pressure, he listened carefully to Yoshio Sonoda's report, but he was not in a hurry to speak. On the contrary, Tanaka Shengdao on the side was a little anxious and asked, "Sonoda-kun, how can you make a quick decision?" ”

Seeing that the brigade commander was chuckling and looking at himself, and nodding slightly to show his appreciation, Yoshio Sonoda was relieved in his heart, and said without hesitation: "There is a main peak and two secondary mountains ahead, staggered before and after, and they are horns of each other, which looks quite solid, but this is only for the condition of equal strength, with the current situation, it is only necessary to concentrate the artillery to attack a little, and concentrate the superior forces to take one side, and the defense line of the people of China must collapse." ”

"It's as simple as that?" Tanaka Shengdao stared at his colleagues with a pair of big eyes like copper bells, his eyes were full of incredulity, such an ordinary method of warfare, but also to be so grand? Isn't that an exaggeration.

However, the mountain smiled and praised: "The simplest tactic is often the most effective tactic, to maximize the use of one's own advantages to attack the enemy's shortcomings, Sonoda-kun's way of using troops is really clever." ”

Yoshio Sonoda was quite modest and said: "This is just the personal idea of his subordinates, how to fight this battle, follow your orders." ”

Shan Di said with a smile: "Just follow Sonoda-kun's plan, immediately notify the artillery brigade to prepare for fire suppression, and the assault troops will be arranged by Tanaka-kun, Tanaka-kun is the first warrior of the 11th Army, and it will definitely be decided in a battle." ”

"Hi" The two co-captains responded one after another when they heard this, and after Tanaka Shengdao straightened up, he didn't dare to delay for a moment and left quickly.

Although Yoshio Sonoda did not have a combat mission, since this battle was to be resolved quickly, the follow-up support and the second wave of attacks could not be careless, and he immediately turned around and was about to leave, and just as he was about to take action, he heard the brigade commander say: "Sonoda-kun, at the same time as the Kumamoto Wing launched the attack, it may be better to send a brigade to the rear of the Shina army." ”

Who is Yoshio Sonoda? The brigade commander said a simple word, but he just turned his head and figured out the key, and immediately blushed, bowed down and said, "Hey, my subordinates understand." ”

Shan Di smiled and said very easily: "There is an old saying in the Zhina people, called the virtual is real, the real is virtual, it sounds more mysterious, but after the real comprehension, it can benefit people immensely, and if you do a good job of the way of the virtual and real, you will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort and produce unexpected results." ”

Yoshio Sonoda also said with emotion: "If the people of China can't hold it head-on, there is a possibility that they will be surrounded at any time behind it?" The crash should be a little faster, right? Once out of position, how far can the Shina run away? As he spoke, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he had seen the defeat of the enemy.
