Several villages in the Meilankou area have now completely become the world of devil soldiers, and there are no Chinese soldiers and Chinese people in them, leaving only corpses that have not had time to be taken away.

The Japanese army and the Chinese defenders fought here for several days and nights, and the artillery fire covered the place countless times, and only half of the earthen walls left may be able to see that the village once existed, all the houses were destroyed in the battle, and the devils set up military tents on the ruins, and there were four villages stuck at the intersection, and the devils still wanted to continue to attack the lake, so they strictly defended these four places, waiting for the follow-up supplies and troops to arrive and continue the attack.

"If you can't get in, it should be the devil's barracks inside."

Feng Ye was lying in the weeds, and four hundred meters in front of him was the devil's fortification, but there was no place for him to hide in this area, and the devil cleared all the trees and shrubs here.

In the telescope, Feng Ye vaguely saw a tent, and even the existence of a radio antenna.

"It should be about a kilometer or so."

Feng Yi compared the two maps in his hand, one was a devil's and the other was used by the squadron itself, and silently wrote down the coordinate parameters on a piece of paper.

"Let's go!"

Feng Yi muttered quietly, ordering the brothers to climb backwards, it has been more than two hours, he has only reconnoitred the terrain in the southwest direction, and has not gone to the northeast direction.

Unlike the devil camp in the southwest, Feng Yi climbed closer to the northeast because Feng Ye found a hidden object that he could get closer.

China has a long history, when the people set up settlements, they will always choose a relatively comfortable place, a relatively large village in the northeast, Feng Yi was surprised to find that the devils set up a large tent here, which is lined with antennas, and more importantly, this village is in a leeward depression, only near the side of Huang Maotan There is a slight lake breeze blowing.

"What a place to be!"

Feng Yi thought back to his thoughts, and had to sigh that the devil had found a place for himself to die.

In fact, the devil's idea is not wrong, the squadron lacks heavy artillery, the fort at Hukou is mainly to defend the Yangtze River, and it is too difficult for the artillery of the fort to turn, so they don't have to worry about being subjected to large-scale shelling, and as for being attacked by special bombs, they haven't thought about it at all, because this thing is not something that anyone wants to have, and China currently has no technical and industrial conditions.

And even if the special ammunition is in the army, it is a strictly controlled existence, how many are transported to the position? How much do you use? They will not allow a single bullet to flow out, because they are afraid that it will become ironclad evidence that European and American countries will criticize them.

Looking at the sun that was about to set, Feng Ye quickly completed his record, and then returned to Hujiazui with a platoon of brothers at the speed of a rapid march.

"Report!"

Feng Ye was already soaking wet, he ran all the way back, panting and rushing into the brigade headquarters.

"Sit, what's the catch?"

Mei Chunhua was already impatient to wait, and was just about to scold, but seeing Feng Yi's tired appearance, he turned to point to the stool at the brigade headquarters and asked him to sit down and say.

"Brigade commander, I just took the brothers to personally get close to reconnoitre, the devils have set up barracks at several key points in Meilankou, the fortifications are complete, there are many machine gun fire points, and most of the heavy machine gun fire points should be semi-underground bunkers, if we want to attack, I'm afraid we will suffer a lot of losses."

Feng Ye took out the map, pointed to the Meilankou area on the sand table, and said at the two strong attack points marked by Mei Chunhua.

"Did you find a weak point in the devil's defense?"

Mei Chunhua asked.

"No, the devil has cleared all the shooting boundaries around these points, and within four hundred meters, there are no shrubs and forests for concealment."

Feng Yi shook his head.

"Then we can only wait for the attack after dark, and Chief Luo will come to the Loess Ridge in person, and the battle must start and drive the devil out of Meilankou."

Mei Chunhua frowned, he felt that this battle was not easy to fight.

"The mountain artillery battalion reinforced by the division headquarters in the theater is already in place, and they will give us half an hour of fire support to bombard this place; Commander Yin, you are ready for a strong attack. ”

Mei Chunhua stared at Yin Zuogan and asked him to hurry up and prepare, as for Feng Yi, who was tired and sweating profusely, no one asked him what to do now? Because his rank is not enough to provide decision-making for such a big war.

"It's six o'clock, and the shelling of the mountain artillery battalion will begin at eight o'clock, and at half past eight, the offensive must begin; Go ahead and get ready! ”

Mei Chunhua looked at his watch and asked several battalion commanders and Yin Zuogan to hurry up and prepare.

"Gurgling ......"

After all the tents were out, Feng Ye picked up the water cup on the table, no matter whose it was, after drinking it all in one go, he looked at Mei Chunhua.

"What are you doing here if you don't prepare? The battalion directly under the battalion participated in the battle this evening, so take advantage of this meeting to have a good rest. ”

Mei Chunhua patted Feng Ye on the shoulder, so that he didn't have to be frustrated by the results of this reconnaissance operation.

"Brigadier Commander, I have an idea."

Feng Yi thought about it, and decided to talk to Mei Chunhua, otherwise if he was allowed to follow the army, he would not be able to implement his plan.

"Oh? What are your thoughts? ”

Mei Chunhua asked.

"I want to take some of the brothers to disguise themselves as devils and sneak into the devils' defense line, and when the 62nd Regiment attacks, there will be less resistance."

Feng Yi said.

"I know Japanese, but I don't have a devil's uniform."

Feng Ye didn't wait for Mei Chunhua to ask again, and said his difficulties.

"It's dangerous, there's a chance you'll be hit by our own artillery fire, are you still going to go?"

Mei Chunhua confirmed to Feng Yi.

"Yes."

Feng Yi nodded.

"How many people do you bring?"

Mei Chunhua asked.

"Wang Ning's platoon, and then a platoon from Zhang Chuan's supplementary company, with Min Fei's fire support platoon, about 200 people."

Feng Yi replied.

"The team infiltrated, you have so many people and a big goal!"

Mei Chunhua said.

"I'll try my best, if it really doesn't work, they will also wait near the battle line to cooperate with Commander Yin to attack."

Feng Yi explained that he didn't really want to bring these people into the devil's barracks, but those things, and they couldn't be taken away if there were fewer people.

"That's okay, Staff Officer Li, take Battalion Commander Feng to the logistics side to find devil uniforms, there should be a lot of them there."

Mei Chunhua called a staff officer and asked him to cooperate with Feng Yi.

Ten minutes later, Feng Ye led the brothers to choose the military uniforms of more than 50 devils with difficulty, and then a team of more than 200 people pushed a few wheelbarrows and set off first.

An hour later, Feng Ye led the people to the southwest direction, about six hundred meters away from the devil's defense line, not that he didn't want to go further, but that he would be discovered by the devil if he went any further, after all, the concealment of more than two hundred people and dozens of people could not be compared.
