Of course, Wang Ye's train of thought would not be interrupted.

Staring at the mountains and mountains outside the sky,

Wang Ye said: "Commander, Commander Ding, and Commander Kong. ”

"If nothing else, Yoshio Shinozuka and Maeda Tadanobu, two old devils, will definitely think that the main force of our Taihang Military Region is hidden in the mountains outside, looking for an opportunity to destroy the enemy."

Ding Wei said: "Judging from the fact that the 2nd Guards Division is chasing after thousands of our people and does not dare to divide the troops, your judgment should be correct. ”

Li Yunlong and Kong Jie also nodded one after another.

These old Red Army of workers and peasants who fought in the blood and fire may not have much culture, but their tactical thinking is so bad that they can't keep up with Wang Ye's thinking.

Wang Ye said again: "Then let's make an assumption." ”

"Let's say, the main force of our military region is in the mountains outside."

"Next, shouldn't we take this opportunity to fight a big battle and strive to eat this devil outside the sky?"

"Otherwise, the longer the time drags on, the more devils will gather near Shuiyao Mountain, and the more difficult it will be for us to find various opportunities to break through, isn't that the reason?"

"That's right!" Ding Wei nodded.

"And if you don't fight this battle, it will cause the alarm of Yoshio Shinozuka and Tadanobu Maeda."

"That's too bad." Kong Jie said, "If the devils return to the Zhengtai Road blockade line, it will be difficult for the people in the base area to move out, and the main force of the military region will definitely suffer heavy losses in order to cover the transfer of the people." ”

Li Yunlong said: "I just said that the devil outside the sky took advantage of the unstable foothold of the devil to kill him, but as a result, a few of you went around for a long time, didn't you also come back?" Still have to fight! ”

"It's going to have to be beaten!" Wang Ye Senran smiled and said, "Moreover, you can also give Maeda Tadanobu a set!" ”

"The next set? How to get set? Speaking of this, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie suddenly came to their senses.

Wang Ye said: "Three chiefs, the devil has never been to Daxia Bay, let alone to Shuiyao Mountain, the devil has only been to a ray of heaven, so I don't know what the situation is in Shuiyao Mountain!" ”

Speaking of this, Li Yunlong and the three of them reacted immediately.

Ding Wei said: "The devil doesn't know that we have built Shuiyao Mountain into a fortress!" ”

Kong Jie said: "So, when we attack the devils outside the first line of the sky, the 2nd Guards Division of Daxiawan will definitely enter the Water Kiln Mountain and launch an attack towards the first line of the sky, trying to defeat us back and forth!" ”

"Haha, that's a real trap." Li Yunlong said, "If you don't say anything, you have to kill a brigade!" If you don't do it, you can kill dozens of tanks of devils! ”

Wang Ye said: "So, the three leaders have no opinion? ”

Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie shook their heads at the same time: "No opinion." ”

"That's good." Wang Ye nodded, and said, "Now there is only one question left, which regiment will stay in Shuiyao Mountain to ambush the 2nd Guards Division?" ”

"Let's just start the new 2nd regiment!"

"I think it's an independent group."

"Otherwise, let's have a new 1st regiment."

Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie stretched out their hands at the same time.

It's just that Li Yunlong pointed at Kong Jie, Kong Jie pointed at Ding Wei, but Ding Wei pointed at Li Yunlong, daring that these three guys didn't want to stay in the Water Kiln Mountain to ambush, because this task lacked challenges.

Ding Wei said helplessly: "Otherwise, let's draw lots." ”

"It's okay to draw lots, but you have to let Xiao Wang catch it." Kong Jie was instantly alert.

Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of well flies for ten years, and Kong Jie already had a psychological shadow on catching lots.

"Don't draw lots, let's count the generals." After Wang Ye finished speaking, he pointed to the three of them one by one and read, "Point the soldiers and generals, fight on horseback, whoever is the one who is pointed, will stay, Commander Kong, it's you." ”

Wang Ye read the last word and pointed to Kong Jie.

"Why am I again?" Kong Jie said with a bitter face.

"Or else?" Li Yunlong didn't miss any opportunity to tease Kong Jie, and said, "I really let you Kong Er be stunned to fight the devils outside the world, I'm afraid you can't afford this heavy responsibility." ”

"Fart!" Kong Jie said angrily, "What is Lao Tzu worse than you?" ”

"Yes, you're no worse than me." Li Yunlong said, "If Lao Tzu hadn't left you at the beginning, you would still be feeding the horses at the headquarters today." ”

"How much better are you than Lao Tzu?" Kong Jie sneered, "Lao Tzu just feeds a horse, but you are a dog, but you have done everything in the pot, feeding the horse, and embroidering everything." ”

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "That can only show that I am capable." ”

"Okay, okay, I said two chiefs, is it interesting for you to quarrel like this?"

Wang Ye interrupted the two people arguing, and said: "Regiment Commander, and Regiment Commander Ding, I have to explain to you that tonight to fight the devils outside the sky, the momentum must be big, it is best to spread out 6 battalions on the whole line, and attack the devils at the same time, creating the illusion that at least 6 regiments are attacking at the same time." ”

"And artillery batteries, grenadier groups, don't save shells."

"The ammunition stocks in the Water Kiln Mountain are sufficient, and they can't be used up at all."

"All in all, we must convince Yoshio Shinozuka and Maeda Tadanobu that the more than 30,000 main forces of our Taihang Military Region are hidden in Shuiyao Mountain!"

"Don't really try, though."

"It's almost enough to attack a few hundred meters."

"It's not time to fight yet."

Li Yunlong and Ding Wei nodded solemnly.

"Also, the total attack time is set at zero o'clock."

After the discussion, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei each took their troops and quietly went out of the sky under the cover of night.

The terrain outside the first line of the sky is like a bell mouth, which is conducive to defense but not conducive to attack, and the devils are worried that the Eighth Route Army will set up machine guns and artillery on the high cliffs on both sides to shoot condescendingly, so they did not dare to get too close, but retreated three kilometers, which gave the independent regiment and the new 1st regiment room to infiltrate from both sides.

Wang Ye and the Wolf Warrior Squadron did not follow, but stayed in the Water Kiln Mountain.

Wang Ye first came to the station of the three artillery companies, which were stationed in the original Shuijiaozi Arsenal.

I saw more than 300 artillery soldiers from the 5th, 6th, and 7th companies wiping the 12 75 field guns, 6 37 rapid-fire guns, and 2 75 anti-aircraft guns with towels.

In addition to this there were 22 92 infantry guns.

However, these 22 92 infantry guns are fakes, made of wood.

The real 22 92 infantry guns had already followed Cao Sanlian to Zhengtai Road.

The 42 cannons are lined up, and the barrels of the cannons point straight at the night sky, which is still very visually impactful.

Wang Ye did not interfere with the operation of the artillery officers, but just called the commanders of the three artillery companies to him and said, "Now arrange the defensive deployment." ”

"The 5th Company is stationed on the right side of the wall-hung road."

"The 6th Company is stationed on the left side of the wall-hanging road."

The 5th and 6th companies are equipped with 75mm caliber field guns, which belong to curved firepower, so it is difficult to play a role on the ground of Shuiyao Mountain, and only by placing these 12 75 field guns on the top of the "7" shaped wall-hanging road can their shells go beyond the top of the mountain on both sides and hit the outside of Shuiyao Mountain, posing a threat to the devils.

Of course, if it is placed on the front, even if the artillery position is built on the ground, it can threaten the devil infantry position outside the Shuiyao Mountain, but in this way, the devil heavy artillery outside the mountain can even cover the artillery position of the 386 Brigade Artillery Regiment with direct firepower, and in the end, it will definitely not be able to kill the devil's artillery.

Therefore, putting the gun mount on the wall-mounted highway is the only option.

"By midnight, all 12 guns must be deployed."

After Wang Ye finished speaking, the commander of the 5th company and the commander of the 6th company hurriedly stepped forward.

Although Wang Ye was not the commander of their artillery regiment, the two company commanders did not dare to make any mistakes, because they all saw how Commander Cao treated Wang Ye.

The commander of the 7th company was anxious and asked, "What about our 7th company?" ”

Wang Ye said: "Your 7th company is guarding the ramp of the hanging wall road, the ramp has a total of 6 big steps, and each step is exactly 1 cannon." ”

The battle defense gun belongs to direct firepower, so there is no need to put it so high.

After a pause, he said, "Move these fakes to Huangyang Cave as well, and don't stay here." ”

Once the devil found these 22 92 infantry guns made of wood, it would immediately be exposed.

"Yes!" The commanders of the three artillery companies responded with a bang, and turned around with their respective units and went to work separately.

Wang Ye called Wei Dayong and Lu Changsheng over again, and instructed the two to take the wolf squadron to arrange a mine array.

Before midnight today, their Wolf Squadron will plant at least 500 mines converted from 150mm caliber high-explosive grenades in Shuiyao Mountain, and then make a chain of mine arrays.

In short, as long as the devil dares to come into the water kiln mountain,

They were blown up with flesh and blood, and there were no bones left.

Because of the lack of manpower, Wang Ye asked Kong Jie to come over with one main battalion of the new 2nd Regiment to help, while the other two main battalions of the new 2nd Regiment stayed outside the Shuiyao Pass to monitor the devils.

Otherwise, if the devil is caught off guard,

As soon as you rush into the water kiln mountain, it will be a big trouble.

……

Maeda Tadanobu really had the idea of a sneak attack.

However, after sending troops to conduct some reconnaissance, Maeda Tadanobu dispelled this idea again.

At this time, Maeda Tadanobu was studying the terrain of Shuiyao Mountain with his chief of staff and wing commander.

The 2nd Guards Division has 7 wings of infantry, engineers, baggage, artillery and cavalry, as well as 1 independent field heavy artillery brigade and an independent regiment chariot brigade.

But the commander of 3 infantry wings had already died in battle last night.

These 3 unlucky guys are Tabe Mirisuke, Ogasawara Taro, and Kenshiro Sasaki.

Therefore, Maeda Tadanobu could only temporarily transfer the wing commanders of the engineer, baggage, and cavalry wings to three infantry wings as wing commanders, and selected three more senior ones from among the team leaders to replace the captains of the engineers, baggage, and cavalry wings, so now the commanders of the troops at the level of wing commander have been re-appointed.

The person who is in charge of the explanation now is Yuta Tsuchiya.

Before dark, Yuta Tsuchiya led his troops to reconnoiter Mt. Mizuyao.

"Division commander, gentlemen." Yuta Tsuchiya paused slightly, and said, "According to our reconnaissance, Shuiyao Mountain should have been a majestic mountain in ancient times, very high, and the mountain was extremely steep. ”

"Then one day, a huge meteorite hit the Water Kiln Mountain,"

"A huge crater with a diameter of more than 500 meters was knocked out in the water kiln mountain."

"Because of this violent impact, the surrounding mountains arched upwards again, forming a huge crater, and the inner and outer sides of the crater are surrounded by cliffs."

"The cliff at the highest point is even more than 100 meters."

"But in the northwest corner of this crater, there is a crack, and that is a ray of heaven."

"Then, after hundreds of millions of years of wind, rain and erosion, the southeast direction of Shuiyao Mountain has been completely weathered, and finally collapsed and formed a gap."

"In this gap, there are two hills on both sides."

"It's like two door gods guarding the crater."

"The Eighth Route Army left about one battalion on each of these two hills."

After Yuta Tsuchiya explained, Maeda Tadanobu and several wing commanders of the 2nd Guards Division had a preliminary understanding of the topography of Mt. Suiyao.

"Baga, this water kiln mountain is really steep."

"If there is no heavy artillery, it will really lose a lot of people if you attack it."

"Even if there is heavy artillery, I am afraid that the losses will not be small, and this battle is estimated to be very difficult to fight."

At that moment, several wing commanders began to whisper, and one by one they looked solemn.

From this sweep to the present, no one in the entire 2nd Guards Division, including the division commander Maeda Tadanobu, dares to despise the Eighth Route Army of the Taihang Military Region.

At this time, a communications staff officer walked over quickly and handed the telegram to Maeda Tadanobu.

Maeda Tadanobu took the telegram and read it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "That's really so".

Yuta Tsuchiya asked, "Division commander, is this a telegram from His Excellency the Commander?" ”

"Yes." Maeda Tadanobu smiled, "Shinozuka-kun's thoughts coincide with mine, and he also thinks that the main force of the Eighth Route Army will definitely take action tonight, and it is not surprising that the Eighth Route Army should concentrate all its main forces and launch an attack on the six sweeping detachments outside the sky, so that our opportunity will come." ”

"Shuffle." Tsuchiya Yuta's eyes lit up and he said, "In this case, the Eighth Route Army's troops left in Shuiyao Mountain will inevitably be less, and we can take advantage of the weakness to attack Shuiyao Mountain and seize this natural danger in one fell swoop, and then we can block the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Bandit Area in the barren mountains and mountains outside the sky." ”

Maeda Tadanobu smiled slightly, and Shi immediately said: "Order!" ”

Several wing commanders and operational staff officers stood up together.

Maeda Tadanobu added: "The 3rd Guards Infantry Wing and the 2nd Guards Fighting Vehicle Brigade are ready to attack, and the 2nd Guards Field Artillery Wing and the 8th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade are ready for artillery support. ”

"Hello!" The four devil officers snorted heavily.

……

"Captain, it seems to be snowing."

Ge Erdan, who was lying next to Li Yunlong, was so cold that his teeth chattered.

At about ten o'clock in the night, the temperature in the mountains plummeted, and Ge Erdan was still shivering with cold in cotton clothes and pants, and it was estimated that the temperature had dropped to minus 20 degrees.

Li Yunlong was also shivering from the cold, but he could still bear it.

"Is it snowing?" Li Yunlong subconsciously stretched out his hand.

Even if you feel a chill in your palm, it doesn't feel like a raindrop.

"It's snowing." Li Yunlong scolded, "This thief is God. ”

It's snowing at this time, isn't it deliberately blocking us?

The snowflakes start out small, but they quickly turn into goose feathers.

In the end, it fell one by one, and soon a thick layer accumulated on the ground.

Li Yunlong was really frozen, so he found a leeward and backlit place, lit a cigarette and smoked.

After smoking a cigarette, I felt much better, it didn't seem to be as cold as just now, and then I took out the Roman watch I borrowed from Zhao Gang and looked at the time, and it was about to reach zero o'clock.

I don't want to wait any longer, this ghost weather will be pulled down early.

Li Yunlong was worried that if he waited any longer, the soldiers would be frozen.

At that moment, Li Yunlong shouted in a low voice: "Second egg, flare gun." ”

Ge Erdan clumsily took out the flare gun from his satchel.

Li Yunlong took the flare gun and pulled the trigger on the night sky above his head.

"Whew!" With a slender screech, a red flare burst into the sky and pulled a vague red trail through the heavy snow that filled the night sky, which was still good and could still be seen.

In the next moment, the shouts of killing sounded in the mountains on both sides of the mountain road.

Li Yunlong also jumped up from the snow with twenty box cannons, and charged forward with a roar.

Behind Li Yunlong, nearly 300 people from several directly subordinate teams, including the regimental guard company, the horseman squad, the cooking squad, and the communications squad, launched a fierce charge towards the front.

Wang Ye asked Li Yunlong and Ding Wei to put in 6 battalions to attack the devils at the same time, so that there was a high probability that they could create the illusion that 6 regiments would launch a general attack at the same time, but Li Yunlong and Ding Wei were even more ruthless, they organized their respective regimental headquarters and directly subordinate teams, and forcibly created the illusion that 8 regiments launched a general attack on the devils at the same time.

At the same time as the infantry launched a "general attack", the two artillery companies and the grenadier teams of each infantry squad did not want to dump the shells on the devil's position as if they were not paying money.

The shells were like snowflakes in the sky, falling in rows on the devil's position.

……

Because it was separated by a mountain, the sound of the explosion could not be heard.

But the red light from the explosion could not be blocked.

As soon as the battle began outside the first line, the 2nd Guards Division guarding Daxia Bay was alarmed.

Maeda Tadanobu put on his cloak and walked outside the field tent, only to see that the night sky in the northwest had turned red, as if it was on fire, and the heavy snow flying in the sky could not cover it.

"Division Commander." Yuta Tsuchiya came over and said, "The offensive of the Eight Roads is not small. ”

Maeda Tadanobu made a quick visual inspection, and then said, "There are at least 100 mortars or grenadiers, otherwise there would not be such a big scene." ”

Tsuchiya Yuta said awe-inspiringly: "That must be the main force of the Eighth Route in the Taihang Bandit District." ”

"Of course, it is the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang bandit area." Maeda Tadanobu smiled slightly, and then said, "All this was expected by me and Shinozuka-kun. ”

Yuta Tsuchiya asked again, "Do you want to attack now?" ”

"No, don't be in a hurry yet." Maeda Tadanobu waved his hand and said, "Wait." ”

"Nani?" Yuta Tsuchiya was stunned for a moment, and said with some astonishment, "Division Commander, why are you waiting?" ”

Maeda Tadanobu said with a smile: "The reason is very simple, the Eighth Route Army outside the first line has just launched an offensive, if we launch an offensive at this time, the Eighth Route Army may give up the offensive and directly return to help." ”
