"Boom, boom, boom......"

The cannonballs exploded like a pour, the ground shook, and I don't know how many trees were damaged, and I don't know how many small animals were scared into the caves and shivered......

Although the little devils did not know the specific location of the ambush of the second company of the fourth battalion of the assault regiment in the forest below the mountain, they still judged from experience that the most likely ambush place for the second company was the edge of the forest.

Coupled with the self-confidence of the little devils, most of the little devils' shells were smashed to the edge of the forest. I have to say that sometimes, experience and self-confidence really matter. Of course, you can also say that you are crooked.

Seeing that the shells were getting denser and denser, the casualty rate was definitely getting bigger and bigger, and the probability of everyone being exposed was getting higher and higher, something happened that Peng Peng and the others couldn't figure out: the little devil's artillery was fighting, but it suddenly stopped.

What's going on?

Peng Peng and the soldiers around him looked at each other with a blank expression.

The little devil is running out of ammunition to carry?

It's basically impossible. Especially in such a major battle, with the military literacy and affluence of the little devils, basically this situation will not occur...... Of course, this only refers to normal circumstances, abnormal situations, such as the bombing of their ammunition depot, or the bombing of a transport convoy, etc., which causes them to have to temporarily conserve ammunition. However, I have not heard of this situation of the little devil now.

The little devil is going to send troops into the woods?

Neither will it.

Because according to the usual way of fighting of the little devils, they will basically send infantry to attack when the shelling is about to end, but now there is no attack of the little devil infantry on the top of the mountain, but from time to time you can see a few little devils who are similar to scouts probing their brains there.

Is the little devil going to retreat or stand by now?

Retreat? It's basically impossible.

The symbolic significance of finally occupying the regimental headquarters of the enemy assault regiment is definitely greater than the practical significance, even if it is only to occupy an open space, they will definitely stay for a while, at least they can do a good job of propaganda.

And the most likely thing is to stand by in place, because the little devil has already occupied the original regimental headquarters of the assault regiment, and can use it as a bridgehead to attack and retreat, forming a huge threat to several surrounding counties...... Even if you know that there are people from the assault regiment buried in the primeval forest behind the mountain, as long as you build a defense line on the top of this mountain behind the mountain, and send some troops around to guard it, it will be easy to defend this place -- didn't the assault regiment just rely on its geographical advantages to win the first and second battles to defend Qinglong Mountain? The little devils can draw gourds in the same way, and the richness of the more reliable little devils has made them definitely much stronger than the assault regiment in terms of weapons and food, whether it is the Eighth Route Army or the National Army If they want to capture Qinglong Mountain, they must pay a great price.

Of course, everyone's guess is most likely: everyone's silence finally deceived the little devil, so the little devil will give up the shelling. After all, no matter how rich the little devil is, he doesn't use cannonballs as firecrackers, just to listen to the sound of songs.

There are many benefits, so after the little devil stopped the shelling, it is likely that he wanted to stand by and start building fortifications.

But in fact, the real reason why the little devil stopped the shelling was that there was a dispute among the little devils, and the reason was that the second company of the fourth battalion of the assault regiment gritted its teeth and insisted, even if it was unwilling to expose even if it cost their lives, so that the little devil could not figure out whether there were any people from the assault regiment at the edge of the forest or in the forest.

As a result, there are two opinions: one opinion is dominated by artillery, they believe that under such intensive shelling, even if there is an enemy hiding at the edge of the forest, most of them will be killed and wounded, not to mention, not even the corpses of individuals have been blown away, that is, they firmly believe that there is absolutely no enemy in the forest, at least at the edge of the forest...... Not to mention the abundance of shells, you must know that it is also an arduous and hard work to bring cannonballs from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and if the shelling continues, the transport personnel will not be able to bear it.

Therefore, the artillerymen suggested that sooner or later they would have to send troops down to check on them anyway, and it would be better to take advantage of the panic in the hearts of the enemy who were bombed by the shells and send troops down now...... As for whether or not it will increase the casualties of the infantry, it is not within the scope of artillery consideration.

Another opinion holds that human life is greater than heaven! If the shells are gone, they can be remanufactured and transported, but if the people are gone, then they are really gone.

Therefore, they believe that even if they want to send troops down, they must minimize their own casualties, so they still shoot at least two more base shells and then send troops down.

As a result, the two sides are at a stalemate.

Soon, the main forces arrived.

So, by order of the Supreme Commander, the tactics that seemed the most correct at that time were used: the artillery temporarily stopped shelling, but was ready for fire support. Send two squadrons of infantry down the hill from the left and right and strike together in the middle. In this way, it is equivalent to the infantry sweeping together like pincers, and in the event of resistance, the artillery will also provide artillery support, which will definitely make the enemy who dares to ambush at the edge of the forest unable to eat and walk.

This tactic seems absolutely formal and correct, but, judging from the subsequent developments, it is tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap and helping you to do it back...... Because their most correct tactic at this time was to build fortifications on the spot and leave the enemy in the woods alone. And once they send troops into the forest, no matter what tactics they use, as long as they enter the forest, they will be fooled.

No, as soon as Peng Peng received that the little devil sent one or two hundred people from the left and right to them, Peng Peng breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart: he finally let the little devil be fooled.

According to the original arrangement, after enduring the 'test' of bullets and artillery fire of the little devil, when the little devil is careless, it is best for the little devil to have a commander or send someone to come down directly from the front, then, his own side suddenly kills, and then whether it is to provoke the little devil, or slowly catch the little devil and introduce it into the primeval forest......

Although this is a bit different from the original tactical arrangement, Peng Peng believes that the next progress will be the same result as the original arrangement, because the little devils at this time are collectively arrogant and arrogant, like a hornet's nest, and the hornets will definitely swarm out to chase after themselves, so that the combat purpose of introducing the little devils into the primeval forest can also be achieved.

Of course, because of this change, it seems as if I was suffering from bullets and shells just now. However, this is a battlefield, and the enemy is not stupid, so who can guarantee that the enemy will always act according to the script you have written? Therefore, sometimes, when all kinds of accidents occur, the decisive outcome depends on whether your preparation in advance is sufficient, whether you are satisfied with your temporary performance, and whether you have a firm will to fight.

So, Peng Peng immediately ordered everyone to immediately go to the back 100 meters of the forest according to the plan. At the same time, they sent someone to inform the 1st Company, the 3rd Company, and the temporary sniper team (a sniper team composed of the sniper platoon directly under the regimental headquarters of the assault regiment and the 20 hunters who were transferred out and were relatively familiar with the primeval forest of Qinglong Mountain) to prepare to close the door and fight the dogs, and also to inform the fourth company on the second line of defense not only to do a good job of protecting the safety of civilian personnel such as health workers, but also to be prepared to respond - this is just in case.

It is said to be the edge of the primeval forest, but if it is really counted, it definitely includes the regimental headquarters of the Qinglong Mountain Assault Regiment and Pigeon Mountain, and even extends to the side of the big road beyond a few mountains.

It's just that after the headquarters of the assault regiment was set here, everyone habitually counted the forest in the back mountain as the edge of the primeval forest, in fact, you can be regarded as the border between the edge of the primeval forest and the middle.

Relatively speaking, after the arrival of the assault regiment, the frequent training in the back mountains allowed everyone to get familiar with the area, but also got a lot of prey, and at the same time cleared out a lot of relatively safe places.

And now, they occupy this 'familiarity'. No matter how many little devils come, as long as they occupy two points, they can maintain their advantage, at least at the beginning: first, the familiar geographical advantage, in this regard, thanks to the help of the 'inhumane' primeval forest, it is enough to swallow up as many little devils as possible; second, advance preparation, such as the seven or eight safety stations, can not only house the wounded, but also provide medicines, food, guns and ammunition and other things that will be precious when necessary.

The little devil's action was very fast, and he quickly completed the purpose of the intermediate division, and at the same time, the safety along the way also made their self-confidence more arrogant, especially when they saw the corpses on the ground and a pool of blood, which made them think even more that this was the power of their own artillery fire, so that these enemies who originally wanted to hide here to ambush had to retreat, plus their own arrival, it made the enemy retreat more panicked, otherwise, how could it be possible not to take away the remains of their comrades?

However, the little devil would never have imagined that it was precisely because the assault regiment had been training in this area for a long time and cleaned up this area by the way, so the little devil did not encounter something terrifying such as poisonous snakes and leeches, so he would come so easily.

And this makes the little devil still firmly believe that he is still in the outermost part of the primeval forest...... With this kind of psychological awareness, they will subconsciously think that no matter how dangerous the primeval forest is, the safety factor of its periphery is much safer. Even if they are ambushed now, then it is nothing to attack deep into the forest by themselves, anyway, they are all on the periphery of the primeval forest.

Just when the little devils laughed without scruples after seeing the mess on the ground and satisfying their arrogant mentality after the smooth meeting.

"Hit!"

"Bang, bang, bang......"

"Bang, bang, bang......"

"Da! da! da......"

Suddenly!

Before the sound of a loud shout fell, I saw that box guns, rifles, machine guns and other gunshots rang out almost at the same time, and the dense bullets swarmed up and shot at the little devils who had just relaxed their vigilance.

But these little devils were well-trained elites, and although they were killed and wounded a dozen people almost at the same time, the rest of them immediately lay down and quickly fought back.

But at this time, an accident, coupled with a deliberate concealment, successfully fooled the little devils......
