In the conversation between Feng Ye and the battalion commander of the Sichuan Army, perhaps because of Feng Ng's approachability and respect for them, this battalion commander provided a lot of information about devils; In the end, to the disappointment of the Sichuan army, Feng Ye and the others did not come to take over the position, so the two went back separately after a brief exchange.

And the troops of the 31st Brigade have now sat down in the field, and the soldiers do not dislike the wet field, and it is better to be able to sit down and rest than to keep walking.

"Brigadier Commander, ask clearly; Zhushan in front was guarded by a battalion of the Sichuan army, and although they were a battalion, they only had more than 400 people, and they were not fully staffed at all. ”

"According to the battalion commander, the devils are in Niujin Mountain, Arctic Peak and Minshan Daye, about the strength of a brigade, there are a lot of light and heavy machine guns, and their artillery will also support the operation, so they can't hit it......"

Feng Ye reported to Mei Chunhua the news he had inquired about, and the more he said, the easier it was for Mei Chunhua, three positions, and only one brigade of devils was defending the position, so for the 31st Brigade, the offensive pressure would be much less.

"Okay, got it, notify the officers of the meeting right away."

Mei Chunhua stood up, he didn't want to wait any longer, now he had to unify his voice before Ye Peigao arrived, if he let that thing know the details of the devil, I am afraid that he would launch a night attack again.

Bonfires were lit in the darkness of the night, not too much, but only for the brethren to have a fire that they could boil cold water.

The strength of a brigade of devils, their brigade, although the 31st brigade is less than half of the full number of soldiers, but it is impossible for a brigade of devils to be fully staffed.

The officer settled his troops, and under the guidance of the herald, he came to the campfire, and Mei Chunhua was already waiting for him.

"It's all here, whatever you want."

Mei Chunhua motioned for the officers to be casual, and he squatted next to the fire, staring at the dancing flames.

"All regiments and battalions, report the current state of the troops; How many soldiers are there left that can fight? What is the rank and file officer vacancies? What about weapons and ammunition? Don't hide it, I don't want to listen to those false numbers, don't count everyone's heads, let's talk about them one by one! ”

Mei Chunhua knew that the officers below, the numbers on their roster were not capable of fighting at all, they were just moving heads, and he didn't care about the 31st Brigade when it was strong and strong, but now the 31st Brigade is different from the past, and he wants to know what the most real 31st Brigade is.

"The battalion directly under it has won three hundred and two people, of which two hundred are new recruits, and they can't fight a vicious battle, and the ammunition situation is not bad, and it has just been replenished."

"Officers, several company commanders are still there, all the deputy company commanders are dead, and there are five platoon commanders and eight squad leaders left."

Feng Yi first explained his own situation, the direct battalion suffered too great losses in the battles of Pengze and Hukou, and it could not recover its combat effectiveness at all in a short period of time.

"There are 421 brothers in our battalion, two of the three company commanders were killed in battle, and the platoon commander was the agent, and only three of the original platoon commanders survived, and there were eleven squad leaders left; Junior officers are now all temporary agents of veterans. ”

The commander of the first battalion of the sixty-first regiment said slowly.

"Four hundred and twenty-one people, can they all fight?"

Mei Chunhua frowned and asked, if this is the case, then the situation of this battalion is not bad.

"It's okay to hold your ground."

The first battalion commander looked at Long Zuocai and lowered his head.

……

In the reports of the battalion commanders, Mei Chunhua kept shaking his head, the real situation was much more serious than he thought; In particular, in the 62nd Regiment, Wang Yan went to the 33rd Brigade to take up his post and took away a lot of grassroots officers, making the situation of the 62nd Regiment even more serious.

Chen Hua was already the commander of the third battalion of the 62nd Regiment, but their battalion now did not even have a single officer except for two platoon commanders and three squad leaders, and as for the brothers who could fight, they couldn't even make up two hundred.

"According to the order, this time it was attacked by our 31st Brigade, and it was originally planned to have the cooperation of artillery; But as you know about the current situation, the artillery may not be able to come for a while. ”

Mei Chunhua said in a deep voice, and all the officers looked at him.

"According to the information that Battalion Commander Feng just got, there is about a brigade of devils in the three positions we are responsible for, and there are a large number of light and heavy machine guns and steel artillery ......"

Mei Chunhua continued to talk about the situation of the devil opposite.

"Saying so much, I just want to say hello to you, and wait for Deputy Division Commander Xia Ye to hold a meeting, one individual is so impulsive, just listen to the arrangement."

Mei Chunhua explained in a whisper, what he was most afraid of was that the two regiment commanders below took the initiative to attack, especially Luo Xianda; Fortunately, the situation of the 62nd Regiment is not good now.

"Okay, adjourn the meeting, and wait for Deputy Division Commander Ye to come."

Mei Chunhua finished speaking briefly, and the officers left one by one.

"Brother Feng, Brother Feng......"

Feng Yi was about to find a slightly dry place to lie down, but a voice called out to him appeared behind him.

"What's wrong?"

Feng Yi looked back and saw that it was Chen Hua, who was currently the commander of the third battalion of the 62nd Regiment.

"Hehe......"

Chen Hua carefully took out something wrapped in oiled paper from his pocket, and after opening it, it was a half-pack of cigarettes.

"You smoke!"

Chen Hua took out two and handed one to Feng Yi.

"Hoo ......"

The big war is imminent, Feng Yi is also a little bored, the situation of the direct battalion is not good now, so he has no bottom in his heart.

"After our three battalions left from Brigade Commander Wang, half of the officers were taken away, and now they can't go to the battlefield at all, let alone being a battalion, their combat effectiveness is not as good as the previous company; Those veterans and junior officers you left behind before, these two battles are almost dead. ”

Chen Hua drooped his head and said embarrassedly.

"Fighting to the death for the country is the fate of dying in war; If you have something, just say it! ”

Feng Ye still has feelings for the third battalion, and he doesn't mind helping him if he can help him.

"Can you lend me a few officers, squad leader."

Chen Hua mustered up his courage and finally spoke; In this matter, he has already recruited Luo Xianda, but let alone the officer, even the veteran Luo Xianda can't add one to him.

"Before the First World War at Hukou and Pengze, there were more than 1,000 people in the battalion directly under the battalion, all of whom were brothers with similar training; In the first battle of Hukou and Pengze, only more than 100 people survived in the directly subordinate battalion; When I arrived in Lehua, the brigade commander supplemented me with two hundred recruits, who have not yet formed combat effectiveness; People, I'm afraid I can't give it to you, machine guns, I can support you two. ”

Feng Yi frowned, if the battalion under his command was not so miserable in the battles of Hukou and Pengze, he wouldn't mind supporting a few squad leaders to Chen Hua, but he didn't have anyone now, and he couldn't even get together the squad leaders; There are many platoons, and there is not a squad leader below, so it is up to the platoon leader to carry it alone.

"That's fine! Thank you, Brother Feng. ”

Chen Hua sighed, compared to the machine gun, he wants the squad leader more now, the battle is so tense, now he wants to draw the squad leader, I'm afraid no one will give it to him, it's better to find a way by himself.
