The lack of battlefield intelligence information is not only that Feng Yi can't understand the movements of the devils, but even Mei Chunhua, Peng Shan and Huang Wei are a little confused, they have no other way than to deploy defenses along Ruiwu Road.

After withstanding the retaliatory shelling of the devils, the position of the 11th Division was not attacked again until the third day, allowing the long-fought brothers to kick and rest, and restore the ruinous fortifications to the appearance of their positions.

"Continue to dig anti-artillery holes, and in addition, dig a little more machine gun bunkers, and I will go to the brigade headquarters for a meeting at night to see if I can get a Min-24 heavy machine gun."

The newly dug battalion headquarters was not bad, and the brothers built a wooden platform in it, and made a few pieces of wood and built a few benches on three sides.

"Don't worry, battalion commander, tonight, I will ask the brothers to dig up machine gun bunkers, at least three."

Although Zhu Ming, the commander of the engineer company, had only three brothers, he could now instruct all the brothers to work, especially this kind of semi-underground fortification, and all of them had to obey his command.

"Gao Yurong, the devils didn't attack in the first two days, the light and dark posts at night must be strengthened, be careful of the devils' night attacks......"

Feng Yi explained the layout of the position, and finally returned to the brigade headquarters with only Wang Ning and a supplementary soldier.

The headquarters of the 31st Brigade was in a small village, and they and the 61st Regiment built fortifications on the spot, waiting to support the 62nd Regiment and the battalion directly under them, but unfortunately the devils did not launch an attack in the past two days.

The 11th Division was not attacked, but the 60th Division and the newly formed 23rd Division on both flanks were almost unable to bear it, and they faced the attack of a wing of the devils, plus the planes and artillery of the devils, and suffered heavy casualties, and Huang Wei had to find another fighter to force the devils to retreat.

"Report!"

Feng Ye led two brothers into the village, and the village was full of brothers from the 61st Regiment, and under the guidance of Feng Jie, he walked to a thatched house and reported loudly.

"Battalion Commander Feng has arrived."

"Come in!"

Mei Chunhua stood up with a smile, and in the humble room, four oil lamps hung on the wall, and the dim light made the room bright.

"Sit down!"

Feng Yi rubbed his eyes, so that his eyes adjusted to the light in the room, in the simple room, a wooden table in the middle should be made of sappers, surrounded by several officers, two regiment commanders, and several staff officers of the brigade headquarters, on the opposite wall, there was a combat map hanging between the two oil lamps.

"Let's go!"

Feng Ye sat down and saw a box of opened cigarettes on the table, so he was not polite, and directly took one and lit it.

"Chief of Staff, let's get started!"

Mei Chunhua didn't care about Feng Ye, who was smoking, and the combat meeting began.

"Opposite us is the 27th Division of the Japanese Army, which is an expansion of the former Japanese Chinese Garrison Brigade, which is a three-unit division, in addition to the three infantry wings, the baggage wing, the engineer wing and the artillery wing are all of them; In a few days of fighting with the Eighteenth Army, both sides suffered casualties, and among them, the casualties of the newly formed 23rd Division were a little more. ”

The voice of the chief of staff sounded, and he began to talk about the situation of the opponent and the Eighteenth Army.

"Chief of Staff, no need to introduce, let's get straight to the point."

Mei Chunhua stopped the chief of staff from making a tirade and asked him to get to the point directly.

"According to the current battlefield situation, the military headquarters of the 18th Army ordered the 11th Division to attack and advance, according to intelligence, there are few enemies in front of us, they have built a large number of strongholds along here, trying to rely on the strongholds to hold on, and then break through on both flanks, so as to capture Ruiwu Road."

The chief of staff pointed to the map, and the location where the devil built a stronghold was less than two kilometers in front of the current position of the battalion directly under him, and the entire stronghold covered a large area.

"In this operation, we don't have to be pressed by the whole army, we have to cooperate with the operations of the 60th Division and the new 23rd Division on both flanks, so we will attack forward with the strength of one regiment at a time, and the remaining troops will stick to the existing positions to prevent the devils from breaking through the entire defense line after the attack fails."

After the chief of staff finished speaking, he put down his baton and sat down at the table, and then the army attacked, and the unit defended, it was the brigade commander's business.

"I order, that the sixty-second regiment shall immediately advance in three hours; The battalion directly under the battalion took over the position of the 62nd Regiment, and the 61st Regiment and the brigade headquarters moved forward, and before dawn, entered the current position of the 62nd Regiment. ”

Mei Chunhua stood up and gave the order to attack tonight.

"Yes!"

Luo Xianda and Feng Yi stood up and shouted their orders.

"According to intelligence, each stronghold, the devil's strength will not exceed one squadron, night fighting, close combat has always been our strength, attacking troops, take advantage of the dark night to touch the past, try to engage in white-knuckle combat with devils......"

Mei Chunhua then talked about tactics, and Luo Xianda and Feng Yi sat down again in Mei Chunhua's gestures.

"Commander Luo, if the attack doesn't go well, retreat; Conquered it, build a defensive position on the spot, and guard against the counterattack of the devils after dawn, understand? ”

Mei Chunhua stared at Luo Xianda and said.

"Don't worry, brigade commander, I will personally lead the attack and ensure the completion of the task."

Luo Xianda stood up again, a squadron of devils, he pressed up with a regiment, and he couldn't take the position, so he would have no face, not to mention that this was still a night battle.

"After you go down, you must readjust the firepower of the troops, and be prepared to attack in turns, and tomorrow night, it will be the turn of the 61st Regiment to attack."

Mei Chunhua stared at Long Zuocai, if it weren't for the fact that the attack order came too suddenly, the first wave of offensive tasks tonight would definitely be the sixty-first regiment, not the sixty-second regiment that had been on the position for several days.

"Alright, let's go back and prepare! Meeting! ”

Mei Chunhua stood up, and after the combat meeting, the brigade headquarters and the 61st Regiment also had to move forward overnight.

"Brigadier Commander?"

Feng Ye and the others walked out of the house, stood up, and stopped Mei Chunhua and the chief of staff who were about to leave the house.

"What's wrong with you?"

Mei Chunhua asked in surprise.

"Brigade commander, the battalion under your command is now understaffed, and the most important thing is that we are not even short of weapons and ammunition, can you add some more?"

Feng Yi smiled and expressed euphemistically, he had just been waiting for the brigade commander to say about replenishing weapons and ammunition, but he didn't, and the meeting was dismissed directly.

"Oh?"

"Chief of Staff, didn't the subordinate battalion replenish ammunition?"

Mei Chunhua turned around and asked his chief of staff.

"Report to the brigade commander that grenades and bullets were supplied according to the standard; Mortar shells cannot be replenished for the time being. ”

The chief of staff reported anxiously, and by the way, he glanced at Feng Yi.

"Brigade commander, chief of staff, I don't mean that, can you add a few heavy machine guns to us, now there is not a single heavy machine gun in the battalion directly under it!"

Feng Yi didn't pretend anymore, and directly said his needs.

"How many more? You're about 300 people now! Why do you want so much? Besides, you have a lot of light machine guns, fast and slow machines, grenadiers and mortars, and your firepower is already the best in the 31st Brigade. ”

"Chief of Staff, are there any heavy machine guns?"

Mei Chunhua said angrily, but he still asked his chief of staff, if there was, he didn't mind adding one or two to Feng Yi.

"Brigade commander, don't talk about heavy machine guns, now we don't even have light machine guns, what can be replenished, all of them have been replenished, and the current gap in machine gun firepower between the 61st and 62nd regiments is still very large......

The chief of staff began to complain, and he really didn't want to take care of the logistics work now.
