Chapter 548: Arrogance!
The firelight that Feng Ye saw was indeed in the direction, but it was not a bonfire lit by a devil, and the bonfire could not penetrate a distance of two kilometers for Feng Ye to see; It was actually a few thatched houses burning.
In the afternoon, a brigade of the Potian detachment captured this place, and in the artillery fire, a large number of houses were destroyed by artillery fire, and the remaining defenders could not resist the attack of the devils and retreated helplessly.
The devils who occupied here looked at the burning house, they had no intention of extinguishing the fire, they just let it burn clean, this is the devil's method.
The few remaining brick houses in the town have become the headquarters of the devil's brigade, and the first wing of the Potian detachment is fighting fiercely in the area of Pengze with the squadron that counterattacked Pengze, and the second wing is ordered to continue to attack towards Hukou, and this brigade is the vanguard of the second wing.
Although the mouth of the lake belongs to the alluvial plain area of Poyang Lake, it is actually a hilly area, with undulating hills, wide waters, surrounded by mountains in the southeast, rivers and lakes in the northwest, and undulating hills and ridges in the middle, and the general trend is inclined from southeast to northwest.
The Great Convergence is at the junction with the mountains, and the place where Feng Yi is close is to the southeast, and the road is full of shrubs, woods, and ridges.
"In groups of three, touch through this area, don't enter the range of the bonfire, and try to observe the strength of the devils."
The big circle is right in front of him, surrounding the town, in Feng Yi's sniper scope, behind the bonfire is obviously a sandbag bunker built by the devil, and the light and heavy machine guns behind the sandbags loom in the background.
"Battalion commander, we don't have that thing, and we can't see it clearly!"
A veteran squad leader pointed to the sniper scope in Feng Yi's hand, and with the naked eye, they couldn't see how far away.
"Where the devil's defense line is, the weak point can always be seen clearly!"
Feng Yi said angrily.
Around here, Feng Ye actually wanted to sneak in and take a look, but unfortunately he didn't have a chance, there was no single devil wandering in the wild, and the devil was even exempted from the secret whistle in the wild, which made Feng Ye sigh constantly.
"Withdraw!"
Feng Yi waved his hand and asked the brothers in the second platoon to retreat with him.
The sky was red, the 31st Brigade was stationed, and when the two regiments arrived here, they built fortifications and waited for dark.
"According to intelligence, Madang discovered that the 106th Division of the Japanese Army, its 147th Infantry Wing, had begun to land in the vicinity of Mianzhouwei west of Pengze City on the afternoon of the 28th, and was now engaged in a battle with our 77th Division in the area from Liaojia to Chenjiaqiao east of Liusi Bridge, and the other division was in a confrontation with our 16th Division at Guojia, Huangjiazui and Liusi Bridge east of Longtan Mountain. In other words, Cao Huling should still be safe at present! ”
The brigade headquarters, the brigade headquarters staff officer was giving a briefing on the battlefield, and around him, the two regiment commanders and Mei Chunhua were standing there, listening to the briefing of the staff officer.
"It's said that those are useless, just announce the latest order!"
Mei Chunhua thought for a moment and asked the combat staff officer to read out the order.
"The commander of the Yellow Army of the Eighteenth Army has arrived at Loess Ridge this afternoon and personally commanded the counterattack on Pengze and Madang."
"Now I announce the latest order of the military headquarters: 1. The 180th Brigade will hold the road intersection and confront the Potian detachment; 2. The infantry artillery battalion attached to the 31st Brigade was an attack team, which broke off the siege of the enemy's 147th Wing in the fierce battle between Tangshan and Yangjiashan and our 16th and 77th and annihilated them on the spot; Then return to the division to counterattack Pengze or Madang. 5. Begin operations at 2 a.m. ”
"Commander Long, the heavy mortar company of the brigade headquarters is assigned to you, and there is only one base number of ammunition to take Yang Jiashan."
"Commander Yin, the infantry artillery battalion of the division headquarters is for you, attack Tangshan."
Mei Chunhua looked at Long Zuocai, the division headquarters had already given an order, and he had to attack.
"Has Feng Ye come back?"
Mei Chunhua asked the staff officer, his only reserve now is the battalion directly under him, and he must all concentrate and prepare for emergencies.
"Not yet, Battalion Commander Feng took a platoon and went to the north of Caohuling, and he didn't come back so soon."
Wang Lun was next to him answering the brigade commander's question.
"Let him come to me as soon as he returns."
Mei Chunhua waved his hand and asked the combat staff officer to stare at the radio.
Mei Chunhua looked at his watch, it was just eight o'clock, and the 31st Brigade still had enough time to exercise and repair, not to mention that the infantry artillery battalion of the division headquarters was on its way, so he could wait.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the infantry artillery battalion of the division headquarters arrived, and the entire 31st Brigade had assembled all its troops except for Feng Yi's second platoon, ready to launch an attack on the enemy at Tangshan and Yangjiashan.
"Don't wait, the troops are marching in the direction of Tangshan, and they must attack at two o'clock in the morning."
Mei Chunhua looked at the time, there were still fifteen kilometers away from the distance from which they would attack, and they had to go.
"Company Commander Gao, let your reconnaissance company go ahead, and bring him over when you meet Feng Yi."
Mei Chunhua sighed, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and Feng Yi can't personally lead the team to investigate in the future.
"Sigh the law ......"
In the neighing of horses, the 31st Brigade marched towards Tangshan and Yangjiashan, and it was basically impossible for the whole team to remain silent.
At eleven o'clock, Feng Yi passed through Cao Huling and collided head-on with the troops of the 31st Brigade.
"Brigadier Commander, there is a situation."
Feng Ye ran sweating profusely, and without waiting for Mei Chunhua to ask for the guilt, he reported it first.
"What's the situation?"
Mei Chunhua asked.
"Less than three kilometers to the north, the devils were found in a large area, the number of people is unknown, occupying the town."
Feng Yi pointed to the front of them and said anxiously, he didn't know that the mission of the 31st Brigade had changed, but he was just reporting what he knew.
"Can you confirm?"
Mei Chunhua asked.
"I can definitely confirm that I got closer to investigate, and it's definitely a devil."
Feng Yi nodded, what he saw was not a devil, then it would be a hell.
"The main force of the Japanese army is still fighting fiercely in the area of Liusi Bridge in the 16th Division and 77th Division, which is also so far away from Tangshan and Yangjiashan, where are the devils?"
Mei Chunhua looked at the map and looked at Feng Ye in confusion.
"Brigade Commander, if what Battalion Commander Feng said is true, then these devils may not be ordinary, and they should have slipped in from the defense line; According to the original route, we launched an attack on Yangjiashan and Tangshan through the avenue three kilometers east of Dahuo, not to mention whether the devils would launch a surprise attack on us, we would definitely not be able to discover them. ”
The operational staff officer took out the map, pointed to the points on the map, and said his guess.
"The battle to attack Tangshan and Yangjiashan can't be delayed, how many devils are there in this gang? How many people can annihilate them? ”
Mei Chunhua asked with a frown.
"I don't know how many, I don't have a chance to make it into town."
Feng Yi shook his head.
"Brigade commander, do you want to report to the division headquarters and let the division headquarters decide?"
The combat staff officer looked at the team that was passing by and suggested to Mei Chunhua.
"Then we can only let the 26th Division solve it, now it is difficult for them to even defend the mouth of the lake, let them come to the field, I'm afraid it's delusional! Although there are many troops in the area of Liusi Bridge, they are lacking in skills, and they are already anxious in the face of the 106th Division and the Botian Detachment; Now perhaps our brigade is the only mobile force on the battlefield. ”
Mei Chunhua shook his head, he wanted to solve the devils here, no matter what the purpose of these devils was, it would definitely not be good, the key was that these devils were too arrogant, they dared to go deep alone, and if they didn't teach them a lesson, they really thought they were invincible.
