Peng Hengfa sighed slightly, and led people to find the things that Lin Xiuxuan wanted.

At this time, Qin Xiaosu heard that the command of the 58th Division in Songshan had been calling to verify the names of two officers of the 96th Division, one was Liu Xianwen and the other was Lin Linqi.

Qin Xiaosu checked the previous communication records, and it was not difficult to know that Liu Xianwen was a regiment commander of the 96th Division. He didn't need to think too much to analyze the general situation, the commander of the 96th Division was defeated and went to Songshan, of course, he didn't know that Lin Xiuxuan made up this Captain Lin Linqi, so he let Zhang Lingfu find out the suspicions, but Zhang Division Commander didn't seem to be too dead, and firmly believed that Lin Linqi was real, so he kept sending telegrams to verify which one was fake, but the national army was in chaos, whether it was the expeditionary force or the Chongqing Military Command Department, no one replied to this telegram. Of course, this does not mean that Lin Xiuxuan can go back safely, he will definitely be detained and confronted by Liu Xianwen when he goes, and then there will be no suspense. So Qin Xiaosu hurriedly sent a few communications to Ma Qiang. Ma Qiang received the information and planned to go down the mountain to meet Lin Xiuxuan, but unexpectedly Lin himself came up the mountain.

He was a little afraid that the team leader would pursue and shoot the girl, but he didn't have a choice at the time, if he allowed the girl to entangle, the team leader might be in greater danger. In fact, he was also taking a huge risk by firing this shot, because there was a traitor sharpshooter not far away who might shoot at him, and that was a guy that even Xu Chong didn't solve it once.

Lin walked quickly to the mountain, Ma Qiang appeared from the darkness, Xu Chong did not show up, he was still watching.

"Did you shoot that shot just now, or did you Xu Chong?" Sure enough, he got straight to the point and asked about it.

"It's me. I saw that the little girl went crazy, and it was a great disaster to keep it. ”

"Well done, you have to make a decision when necessary."

Lin gave an affirmation, I don't know if it's sincere.

"I lost my communication equipment, you should still have ......"

"Boss, are you going back?"

"Oh, I can't go back?"

"A legitimate regiment commander of the 96th Division has arrived at Zhang Lingfu's headquarters, and Zhang Lingfu is taking a telegram to verify the identities of the two of you. As soon as you go back, you will be exposed. ”

"Looks like he still thinks I'm more like the real thing."

"yes, I've never seen such a stupid person."

"Then I can't go back, but I'll have to go back to the landlord's compound below to see if they find the map. Also, I remembered who one of the two snipers who had just attacked us. ”

"What? Do you still know each other? ”

"You should know too." Lin Xiuxuan deliberately sold a pass.

Ma Qiang shook his head.

"Jin Shanwei, that detective captain. You shot the one who didn't find the body. ”

"The black shop owner's disciple? Captain Huang. ”

"Yes, I felt familiar when I saw it just now, I hid in the crowd with the boatswain at the gate of the ancestral hall that day, and I saw this guy arguing with another rice bucket puppet army, in short, it must be him. I've heard your gunshots here, more than once, have you killed him? ”

"No, kill one, but not him. A Type 99* was seized. ”

"How's the direction of the county seat?"

"The gunfire must have passed, but the enemy never came, it seemed that there was only one squadron, and it was dark and did not dare to come."

"Well, you wait, I'll come back in a minute."

He gave Ma Qiang all the banknotes he had snatched, and then turned around and went down the mountain. After a while, he returned to the courtyard, where Peng Hengfa was waiting for him.

"Boss, the map has been found, on the mustache I stabbed to death."

As he spoke, he handed a map to Lin. Lin shook it away and looked at it, and there was still a pool of blood in the middle of the map, I was afraid that it was Shaozuo's own. He and Peng Hengfa rolled on the ground for a long time, and finally lost their strength and were killed, killing this guy was an unexpected joy, far more important than the dozen or so Japanese soldiers here.

"Very good, you put the map away, there is one more thing to bother you. Go and gather the cooks, old mothers, and actors in the back, threaten them, and ask if there are any traitors among the leading characters who come to the banquet behind, and if so, kill them all, and let the rest go. Don't worry, my other group of brothers is on top of the mountain, and the Japanese army in the county town has not come out. You just let it go. ”

"Okay."

Lin Xiuxuan went to the back room by himself, found a pen and paper, and wrote a letter to Zhang Lingfu with the handwriting of Luo Zhuoying that he was trying to imitate. The letter mentions that the map has been found, and that he is not a captain of the 96th Division, but a friendly force.

After chatting and writing a few words, gunshots rang out outside, and it seemed that Peng Hengfa was shooting the traitor. When he came out, there were three more corpses lying on the ground, they were the housekeeper of the Yang family, the youngest son and his aunt's wife, and the rest were let go and handed the letter to Peng Hengfa. The letter was not enveloped, but folded in half and glued with paste. Then he handed it to Peng Hengfa and asked them to go back overnight. These people can undoubtedly prove that Liu Xianwen is true. He himself withdrew from the compound and hid into the mountain, now he is in a hurry, it is time to save the 100,000 people of Du Yuming's group, of course, the key is whether Deputy Captain Chu can hold the middle road, and from the information obtained by Qin Xiaosu, the war is about to begin. There was not much valuable information that was heard casually, but Qin Xiaosu's radio activities in front of the Japanese army became frequent. Japanese infantry usually did not rely much on radio, and many brigades could be deployed exactly as they were deployed, and they could continue to fight without follow-up orders. But the artillery was more dependent on the radio. This point is consistent with the intelligence obtained by the scouts sent by Qin Xiaosu himself, it seems that the enemy has suffered a big loss and does not give up, of course, from a strategic point of view, in order to completely cut off the retreat of the expeditionary force, it is necessary to fight from the middle road.

In central Myanmar, Qin Xiaosu hid in his well-connected headquarters, waiting for his spies to go and find out the truth. Now the underground tunnels are in his hands, the commanding heights of the mine are also in his hands, and he has just won a tough battle, which makes a group of rabble morale high, and he has a good hole card.

Brooke commanded 12 field guns, including 25-pounder guns from the British and 75-mm guns from the Japanese. He used the British's accurate one-to-10,000 map to grid the entire area. This will multiply the shelling reaction speed.

In anticipation of a heavy artillery bombardment by the Japanese, he hid his troops and artillery in anticlines and tunnels. Sure enough, in the middle of the night, the Japanese began to launch artillery bombardment. The artillery fire was extremely fierce, and it seemed that a large number of 105 guns were used, which was the strongest field artillery in the Japanese division; Given that the 33rd Division had completely collapsed, there was reason to believe that this was another strong force of the Japanese army. It was judged that it was a part of the 18th Division that had just been freed from the battle of pursuing Du Yuming, because the division had a large establishment and could divide its troops to attack. Mutaguchi and Sakurai were classmates at the same time, and although they didn't like each other, once Sakurai was killed, Mutaguchi was still very active in rushing over to avenge him.

According to Qin Xiaosu's statistics on the preparation time of the Japanese army's artillery fire before the battle, the 56th Division and the 55th Division, the two B divisions, were the most proficient in artillery firing, and the artillery preparation time was short, and they rarely fired artillery at night, because it was difficult to observe. But the 18th Division is more generous, and the shells will rain down. Of course, under Chu Aiyun's preparation, these artillery bombardments had no tactical value, and even clearly indicated the offensive route, because one of the tactics of the 18th Division was to closely follow the artillery fire, and in the South China water network area, this tactic could usually easily break through the positions of the national army.

Captain Chu encountered the characteristics of the enemy, that is, he would soon start a charge, and the infantry artillery coordination was the infantry hard kung fu that the Japanese army had always emphasized, and the combination of the two would be quite compact. However, he had a group of soldiers eager to kill the devil, as well as his own support firepower. These guns had already been aimed in advance in the direction of the Japanese offensive channel, waiting for the forward target indication.

The shelling gradually stopped, and the soldiers hiding in the tunnel quickly took up the blocking position according to Chu's orders. The Japanese rushed over with shouts, and sure enough, there were not too many windows left. The blocking troops did not even have time to set up water-cooled machine guns, and the Japanese advance had already arrived. In the moonlight, helmets and bayonets exposed the dense formation of the Japanese troops. The blocking force immediately threw a platoon*, disrupting the rhythm of the Japanese attack. Then, relying on the powerful melee firepower of more than 20* per company, weave a fire net to block the enemy's charge. There were still some Japanese troops who rushed into the blocking area, using their bayonets to make a gap, and it must be said that they risked being crushed by their own shells, and the basic skills of following the artillery attack were enough to help them break through most of the Allied positions, but not here.

Brooke's shelling almost reached the front and rear feet of the Japanese covering artillery fire, and the area of the shelling also overlapped to a high degree, and this intensive shelling stopped the Japanese attacking forces in two. The attacking forces in front were unsustainable, and were quickly annihilated by Captain Chu's troops, and now he had time to complete the line and set up his machine guns. It is hard to imagine that this infantry that has just been kneaded together has blocked the 18th Division, which has the most excellent technology in the Japanese army. The second charge of the Japanese army was reduced to a complete defeat. The firepower of Captain Chu's troops, who had the advantage of light firepower, harvested the second wave of Japanese troops who did not know whether they were alive or dead. After the Japanese were repulsed, the shelling quickly resumed, and the soldiers on the positions retreated to a nearby mine for shelter. Although some troops and machine guns that were too late to take away were hit, the losses were not great because there were some trenches to cover them. After this shelling, the troops again resumed their blocking positions, faster than the first. At this moment, the style of this rabble has surpassed the level of the elite of all national armies. But this time the Japanese did not dare to continue the attack, they counterattacked with grenadiers and mortars at a distance, but they never dared to charge again.

At dawn, it could be seen that hundreds of Japanese corpses were lying densely lying on the potholes and hundreds of meters wide positions that had been bombed by artillery fire from both sides. Because during the transfer to South China, the Philippines, and Burma, he relied on the excellent skills of this set of infantry artillery to defeat the opponent. The charge a few hours earlier, the Japanese soldiers were too densely formed, and as a result, they were packed up by dense machine-gun fire and shells. Mutaguchi and Sakurai are sorry, but Captain Chu is destined to be a hurdle that they can't cross.

Qin Xiaosu continued to help Captain Chu listen to the enemy's radio. Once the Japanese army suffered a loss, some front-line commanders were prone to anger and destruction of communication discipline, and sure enough, Qin Xiaosu overheard the direction and time of the next attack of the Japanese army. Captain Chu immediately reminded Brooke that he could shoot at the area he had designated in advance, and Brooke received this order by phone, and he suspected that Captain Chu was judging the enemy's position by fortune telling, because he had carefully observed the enemy's position, and he could not see the movement of the next round of Japanese attacks at all, but he felt that it was better not to ask in detail. If he admits that it is really the direction obtained by the fortune telling, he will seem even more cowardly.

Brooke opened fire in advance, and the artillery fire fell accurately on the head of a squadron that was assembling on the starting position, killing the squadron leader who was explaining the main points of use in front of the whole squadron in an instant. The artillery fire then extended the strike, detonating the ammunition wagons parked behind the departing troops.
