In the dark night, the 61st Regiment responsible for the attack was divided into two parts, the commander of the first battalion and the troops directly under the regimental headquarters went towards Niujin Mountain together, while Long Zuocai personally threw the second battalion and the third battalion to the North Pole Peak.

The continuous rainy weather gave the troops the best cover for stealth, and in the dark night, it was like the mountain wind and light rain caressing the remaining vegetation.

The Zhushan position was five hundred meters behind him, and Mei Chunhua was like a lone army, with more than 500 soldiers to build a position in the middle.

A section of the trench had been dug, the brethren were expanding outward, and the few remaining sappers of the battalion were directing the recruits to dig underground bunkers, and the whole position was busy.

Mei Chunhua leaned against the trench that had just been dug out, and Feng Ye was sitting next to him, both of them holding cigarettes in their hands, just sitting, smoking, looking at the sky.

"The third battalion of the sixty-second regiment, said to be a battalion, is just a company, as a reserve? What can you do? ”

Mei Chunhua sighed, he understood Luo Xianda's mind too well.

"Brigade commander, Regiment Commander Luo is also afraid that there will be changes in the Minshan House, so he led elite troops to surround the feint, which is also a guarantee for the attacking 61st Regiment."

Feng Yi didn't know what Mei Chunhua meant, so he had to say it from a big point.

"The reserve is under your command, and the battalion and the three battalions are combined, and after dawn, wait for orders."

Mei Chunhua put out the cigarette butt on the ground fiercely.

"Brigade commander, the telephone line here has been connected, for safety, I will send someone to Zhushan immediately."

When Feng Ye heard this, he understood what Mei Chunhua meant, but now he has no way to leave the guard company for the brigade commander, if he leaves the guard company, he can only take the recruits to join forces with the three battalions, so he doesn't know how to fight.

"No, just leave me a platoon, as long as the front is good, it's safe here."

Mei Chunhua shook his head and looked at the sky, he didn't understand how he was a dignified brigade commander and now became a bare-bones commander.

"Brigade commander, if you don't leave, the reserve will be taken up by Chen Hua at that time, and I will allocate two hundred recruits from the battalion directly under him; With the rest of the brothers, I continued to guard the brigade headquarters. ”

Feng Yi stared at Mei Chunhua nervously, if Mei Chunhua died on the battlefield because he brought all his brothers to support the battle, it would be a precedent for the 11th Division, not a single regiment commander was killed, but the brigade commander was the first to die.

"Okay, let's wait until tomorrow the war starts."

Mei Chunhua waved his hand, indicating that he knew Feng Yi's intentions, leaned his back against the trench, and closed his eyes.

The artillery positions in the rear, the artillerymen are nervously arranging with the help of the people, and on the mountain paths, more people are carrying heavy shell boxes.

This is China's baggage troops, completely relying on the shoulders of the people and strong men, all the materials needed by the front-line soldiers, the common people not only have to pick out from between their teeth, but also strangled their stomachs to use their last strength to send to the front line.

"Okay, no?"

The battalion commander of the mountain artillery battalion urged his staff officers.

"The mountain artillery is already in place, it's just that there are not enough shells, but it's already on the way."

The staff officer replied to the words of the battalion commander.

"How many?"

"Just now, Deputy Division Commander Ye called again and asked when we could open fire; It's dawn. ”

The officer pointed to the phone next to him, just now, in less than fifteen minutes, Ye Peigao called three times, explaining the urgency of the military situation.

"A little more than half a base."

The staff officer replied.

"Not enough, the North Pole Peak and the Niujin Mountain, shelling at the same time, at least one base is needed."

The officer frowned, half a base for a position, which was already the least needed, could not be less; No matter how little it is, it will only set off fireworks, and it will not play much role in the fortifications of the devil's position.

"Ding, Ding, Ding......"

In the makeshift tent, the phone rang again.

"Hey, I am; Teachers! ”

The officer picked up the phone and saluted it.

"Yes, we are short of shells, and the people and baggage are still on the way......"

"With only half a base, barely able to shell a position."

"Yes!"

"Whew!"

The officer kept answering and put down the phone.

"Order, all artillery prepares, and in ten minutes, shell Niujin Mountain, and all the shells will be fired."

The officer gave the order viciously.

"Deputy Division Commander Ye's order is also to shell the North Peak, and the shells are not replenished so quickly."

The staff officer reminded the officer.

"This is the order of the division commander."

The officer threw down a word and walked to his artillery position.

Niu Jinshan, the soldiers who lurked in front of the position at night, were covered with branches and weeds, stained with morning light and water droplets, shining in the early morning sun.

"Whisper it down, let all the brethren be in good spirits, it's dawn, and the shelling is about to begin."

The commander of the first battalion whispered, letting the herald pass down.

"Wake up, it's time to shoot!"

One by one, the sleepy soldiers lying on the ground were woken up.

"What? There are not enough shells, only Niujin Mountain is shelled, so what about the North Pole Peak? Let the brothers of the two battalions use their bodies to walk through the works of the devils? ”

Mei Chunhua shouted on the phone, he didn't understand, why was there only half of the artillery support he had promised?

"The mountain roads are muddy, there are a lot of various materials, and it is impossible to transport them, and it will take at least two hours to wait until the next artillery shelling."

Ye Peigao explained on the phone that the battle must start, and they can't wait, and when the sun rises, the lurking troops may be exposed, and under the greeting of the devil's light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers, even if they retreat, I'm afraid they will have to throw half of the people behind.

"What about Long Zuocai? The two battalions of the sixty-first regiment are now under the North Pole peak, what should they do? ”

Mei Chunhua roared.

"You can choose to attack, or you can wait for the artillery to fire. But after the shelling of Niu Jinshan, it must be taken. ”

After Ye Peigao finished speaking, he hung up the phone and held his forehead with his hand.

"He's a horse! While! ”

Mei Chunhua threw the phone on the ground and scolded.

"Brigadier, what's wrong?"

Feng Yi looked at Mei Chunhua in surprise, and he vaguely felt that things seemed to have changed.

"The artillery battalion is short of shells, only enough to shell Niujin Mountain, and the North Pole Peak will wait until two hours later."

Mei Chunhua held his forehead with his hand, his sixty-first regiment was miserable this time.

"Brigadier Commander, is there anything you need me to do?"

Feng asked.

"You immediately send someone to inform the head of the dragon, let him pay attention to concealment, whether he can attack or not, let him take care of it himself."

Mei Chunhua didn't know what to do now, so he could only let Long Zuocai judge for himself, after all, the situation on the front line was only best known to Long Zuo.

"Yes, I'll send someone right away."

Feng Ye bent down and walked out of the bunker.

"Wang Ning!"

Feng Ye shouted.

"Here."

Wang Ning was closing his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard Feng Ng's shout, he immediately got up and rushed to Feng Ng's face.

"You go to the foot of the North Pole now, find the dragon leader, and tell him ......"

Feng Yi whispered in Wang Ning's ear.

"Yes! Then I'll leave now! ”

Wang Ning nodded, understanding the seriousness of the matter.

"Wait, remember, I can only say it to Captain Long."

Feng Yi told this.

"Yes!"

Wang Ning saluted, indicating that he knew.
