Chapter 273: Reconnaissance Mission!
Mei Chunhua glanced back at Feng Yi, he didn't expect this company commander to be so upright and directly deny his suggestion.
"The 31st Brigade is from here to Tianmu Lake, what do you have in mind to get there safely."
Mei Chunhua finally took his eyes off the map, and tested Feng Ye with a smile on his face, in the eyes of officers like them who are shouldering the generals, the most annoying thing is the grassroots officers who release the air cannon, they can't think of a way, and they always feel that the commander's order is to let them die.
"Sir, the information is incomplete, and I can't give any advice."
Feng Yi shook his head, the 31st Brigade had more than 5,000 horses and horses, and a large amount of baggage, which was much worse than the situation when he was forced to break through with hundreds of remnants.
"Okay, I'm quite arrogant, I want to know the situation, right, labor and management will tell you."
After Mei Chunhua finished speaking angrily, he began to introduce the information he got to Feng Yi, of course, his information also came from the telegram just now and the introduction of the 52nd Division.
"Brigade commander, the devil withdrew his troops from Guangde, why haven't the government's troops been stationed here for more than a month?"
Feng Ye couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Mei Chunhua say that the devils who occupied Guangde had withdrawn their troops in mid-January, and now only the county government and police were in Guangde City, and none of the garrisons could be seen.
"There is no army willing to go to Guangde, if you go less, it will become a meal on the devil's plate at any time, you can't even run away, if you go too much, the devil will attack from Nanjing, Changxing, Xuancheng and other places at any time, I'm afraid the loss will be even greater."
Mei Chunhua shook his head, this is politics, I'm afraid it can't be explained clearly in a few words.
"Xuancheng, Changxing, and Liyang each have a garrison wing of devils, and Guangde and Langxi are really not good; We can go to Dailong Mountain during the day, go out of the mountain after nightfall, and quietly enter Guangde before dawn, and then it will be easy to do, whether it is to arrive at Tianmu Lake at night or other plans, there are enough options here. ”
Feng Yi thought for a moment and pointed to the map.
"Well, it's really easier to walk like this, and it's easy to transport materials and baggage; But the devil knows, what should I do if I come from these three sides?"
Mei Chunhua asked.
"Then it will be according to our mission, but the devils are preparing for the battle of Xuzhou, I'm afraid their troops will not be sufficient, and there will not be a large number of troops to encircle and suppress us, as long as we don't fight the devils, there is no problem to come back."
Feng Yi inferred from the situation that the brigade commander said that the devil was preparing for the battle of Xuzhou, and now on the basis of ensuring the results of the battle in the surrounding areas of Nanjing and Shanghai, he also wants to prepare for the attack on Xuzhou, and the devil as an island country, it is estimated that it is difficult to have so many troops to encircle and suppress, and the attack and defense are completely different, and the devil can rely on heavy firepower when attacking, but the defense requires soldiers.
"Okay, go back and rest early, don't spread the word about what you hear tonight."
Mei Chunhua waved his hand and signaled that Feng Ye could leave, as for what to do, he still had to decide for himself, because it was impossible for him to tell Feng Yi their mission, besides, it was a general guerrilla mission now, and there would be no specific tasks in the future.
"I don't know if Deputy Division Commander Ye will put the first battle there"
Mei Chunhua looked at the map, thinking about the possibility of arriving at Tianmu Mountain safely, as for the establishment of a brigade headquarters in Guangde, he didn't even dare to think about it, there would definitely be devils' spies here, and when the time came, one of their brigades might face the encirclement and suppression of several wings of devils here.
The next day, after having breakfast in the barracks of Wangxi, the 31st Brigade, which had changed a large number of wheelbarrows, continued to march.
"Squeak, squeak"
The pack horses don't pull carts anymore, but the squeaks are louder, because there are a large number of wheelbarrows on the road, and even Feng Yi's third company has been assigned five wheelbarrows to help logistics transport supplies together, because the pack horses have limited supplies, it is impossible to pull as many as carts.
It is indeed very difficult to march in the mountain road, even the Chinese army, which is accustomed to people resisting horses, marches very slowly, and the devils do not continue to attack from here, perhaps because the poor road conditions limit them, because here, their heavy artillery is very difficult to transport, and it is even more difficult to exert its power, not to mention the long supply lines and poor road conditions, I am afraid that the devils will have to rely on light infantry to attack here, so that the devil soldiers will lose a lot of money, and it is a bit more than worth the loss for Japan.
Feng E did not take this road back to Ningguo last time, but walked the other side, he estimated that Dailong Mountain, which could be reached in one morning, did not see until the afternoon, and the march of the brigade and a large amount of supplies slowed down their speed.
"Rest in place, Yin Zuogan, and release the scouts a thousand meters away."
Mei Chunhua took the brigade officers up the mountain and ordered the 62nd Regiment to go forward to investigate.
"Feng E, you are in charge of the investigation, and report the situation immediately."
Yin Zuogan thought for a while, and felt that it was better to let Feng E, who was more familiar with the situation, go.
"There are horses in the regimental guard company, do you want to bring some?"
Yin Zuogan asked Feng E, he still took out the horses used for the investigation.
"No, horses are not good for concealment." Feng E shook his head, indicating that he didn't need it.
"A platoon, reconnoiter and advance in the direction of Longjing Mountain, and after going two kilometers ahead, report the situation every fifteen minutes."
"Three platoons, reconnoiter in the direction of the big waist mountain, pay attention to safety, and after two kilometers, report the situation to the regiment commander."
"Second row, follow me."
"All the squads and platoons, leaving machine guns and non-combat materiel, weapons only rifles, fast and slow machines and grenades, fill the water bottles, and set off in five minutes."
Feng E issued an order loudly, and began to take off his backpack and organize his equipment.
Reconnaissance is different from combat, this is not to work hard with devils, to maintain the flexibility of action, and to bring excess bullets, otherwise it will affect the efficiency of reconnaissance.
"Min is a big man, the fire support platoon, the cooking squad, and the supply squad stay in place to rest."
Feng E shook his head, saying that the big man Min didn't have to go this time, and the reconnaissance mission with fire support platoon was useless.
Divided into three directions, the third company set off, Dai Longshan, Feng E ate here once two months ago, the surrounding road is still relatively familiar, the three platoons have veterans who have walked this road with him, in addition to the scouts who encountered the devils, Feng E estimated that the possibility of encountering the devil's large army nearby is very small, after all, this is Chinese land, and China's intelligence department does not only know the rice bucket for eating.
The three platoons of the third company bypassed the foot of Dailong Mountain, and then began to divide their troops, spreading out from three directions and entering the vast wilderness.
"The three squads are all scattered, lined up vertically, pay attention to the surrounding situation, and do not shoot until the last resort."
As soon as he entered the field, Feng E gave an order, although there is no devil garrison nearby, but it can be regarded as a battle line, no one can guarantee whether the devil's reconnaissance force will come, whether they will encounter, from now on, the third company officially stepped into the battlefield.
