Chapter 55: Night Raid Plan

Bu Yan watched the Japanese shells fall one after another on the position at the foot of the mountain, and said: "Xiao Dongyang, this is not even the corpse of his own people." ”

Yao Ma said: "No, the little Japanese devils are in a hurry, and they are like crazy when they are in a hurry." ”

The Japanese were crazy, their shells bombarded the forward positions as if they didn't want money, and the roar lasted for more than an hour from the time of dark, but fortunately their regiments had the foresight, and after the battle was over, they ordered the soldiers on the second line of defense to bring back all the weapons and equipment on the first line of defense and the corpses of their own people.

And quickly abandon the forward positions and retreat to the second line of defense.

Immediately after the Japanese artillery bombardment, it came.

The routs were surprised by Xia Yuan's accurate grasp, and Xia Yuan had long been accustomed to this, as early as when they were in Shangganling, they used the front and rear retreat to avoid the bombardment of the American army, and the Japanese artillery power was not too great, so Xia Yuan was not afraid of this level of shelling.

Xia Yuan summoned Long Wenwen, Meng Fu, Li Wula, A Yi and other officers, they looked at Xia Yuan, only a pair of eyes were left on their dark cheeks was so bright, each company had its own order division of labor, they had already witnessed the battle on the forward position, under the leadership of Xia Yuan, the soldiers in the forward position fought bravely and tenaciously with the Japanese army, fighting for every inch of land, and after paying a huge price, finally drove all the Japanese troops into the jungle.

"After today's battle, a lot of people were sacrificed, they are all heroes, these are their glorious strips, Ah Yi, you put it away, and the things that should be disciplined on the battlefield must be recorded, and their heroic deeds must be recorded."

Ah Yi took the stack of glorious slips handed over by Xia Yuan with both hands, and nodded heavily: "Tuanza, I have already memorized it." ”

Xia Yuan crossed his fingers in front of him and said, "If there is anything missing, those soldiers who survived, you can go and ask, although these topics are relatively heavy, but in this regard, we must record them one by one." ”

Ah Yi nodded: "Yes!" ”

After explaining to Ah Yi, Xia Yuan looked at Long Wenwen and said: "This time we are facing a brigade of Japanese troops, and after we have experienced today's battle, we can also see that when it is time to fight to the death, our soldiers are not much worse than the Japanese army, what we lack is the spirit of not fearing death and the tenacious will to fight." ”

"No guns, no cannons, the enemy will make them for us. We can't be defeated, we can't be blown up, we are a tenacious iron army. The people of Chanda are watching us from behind, and even the people of the whole country are looking at us, we are the last troops left in Dian-Burma, and it is not appropriate to defend the Nantian Gate, but we have to do this, the Japanese army wants to cross the Nantian Gate, unless they cross over our corpses first. ”

After some agitation, Xia Yuan said: "How to win the battle, is to continue to accumulate experience in one battle after another, learn lessons, sum up experience, now the Japanese army's tentative offensive has ended, but the Japanese army will not give up, their artillery is angry and angry bombardment of the forward position, but unfortunately our shells are fast, they don't know yet, but it is not clear whether they will launch another attack tonight, we have to make plans for both." ”

"The Japanese army is not clear about our current deployment on the Nantianmen, the possibility of them attacking at night is very small, even if they have begun to send people to mix in the retreating rout to try to ascend the Nantianmen, but we have seen through it, we can use the Japanese army's deployment of the Nantianmen is not clear to estimate, the possibility of the Japanese army launching a large-scale attack at night is very small, at most it will launch a night attack, but the initiative at night is still in our hands, I plan to organize a night raid team, We could not wait for them to attack and harass us at night against the Japanese troops stationed in the woods. ”

Xia Yuan stared at Long Wenwen and the others, and continued: "The Japanese artillery position is our main target, if we can destroy the Japanese artillery position, then it will be easier for us to defend Nantianmen in the future." ”

The Japanese artillery is currently the greatest threat to them, mustard gas is fine, if it is poisonous gas, inhaling a little less, it will cause physical discomfort, inhalation of overdose, internal organs will ulcerate, so, tonight Xia Yuan's target is the Japanese artillery position, once again every time he went out before, he figured out the deployment of the Japanese brigade in the forest, and their artillery was in the rear, long-distance artillery support for the Japanese army on the front line.

Xia Yuan knew that in the later stage of the regiment commander's TV series, it was difficult for the Japanese army occupying Nantianmen to organize an artillery bombardment of the positions of the Yu Division on the other side of the Nu River, the reason for this was that the Pacific Theater broke out, and many artillery cannons were transported to the Pacific Theater.

Finally, a few years later, the Japanese army announced its unconditional surrender.

If the artillery positions of a brigade and regiment can be destroyed, this will definitely be a very painful matter for the Japanese army, which has begun to run tight on logistics.

Xia Yuan, who was in charge of future changes, firmly believed that if the Japanese artillery positions could be destroyed, then they would have a very high chance of surviving on the Nantianmen, especially the third line of defense, known as the Maginot Line.

Without artillery support, the Japanese Xia Yuan could not imagine how the other side could break through the dozen bunkers on the third line of defense, which were light machine guns and rifles except for heavy machine gun bunkers.

Xia Yuan ordered the Sichuan Army to cut down all the trees that existed in front of the third line of defense of the entire Nantianmen, just to engage in a tug-of-war with the Japanese army in the future.

This sensational nationwide resistance battle will also be staged here.

The attack on the Japanese artillery position was a choice made by Xia Yuan after thinking twice and combining it with the current war situation faced by the Japanese army, and no one knew better than him the direction of the Japanese army in the future.

Therefore, a sneak attack on the Japanese artillery position is the most critical decision at present, blowing up the Japanese artillery position, the Japanese infantry without artillery support, it is difficult to break through the last direction when the tank armored vehicle cannot go up the mountain, and Xia Yuan also has a killer feature, which is after the third line of defense is broken.

Meng was annoyed and said, "You want to sneak attack the Japanese artillery position?" Don't blame me for not reminding you, the Japanese army in the forest is 5,000 troops, and if we are not careful, we may collide with the 5,000 Japanese army face to face, how do you pass through the cobwebs formed by the 5,000 Japanese army. ”

Xia Yuan grinned: "For you, it may be very difficult, but for me, it is very easy. I have passed through more than once or twice, and the strength of the Japanese army in the artillery position is only a small squad of Japanese soldiers, fifty or sixty people, and the Japanese artillery ammunition is all placed in the open air, and we will run away if it is blown up. ”

Previously, he had not moved, just observed from a distance in the trees. At that time, the Japanese troops were gathering, and many heavy artillery had not yet been transported, if he had attacked first, the Japanese army that had been bombed once would definitely strengthen its defenses, so he had to wait for all the Japanese artillery to assemble and the other party began to attack Nantianmen, which meant that his opportunity had come.

Xia Yuan still has a very good chance of blowing up the Japanese artillery position, and he is very sure.

Long Wen asked: "Tuanza, this is the reason for that firepower platoon you organized?" ”

Xia Yuan did not hide it: "The organization of the firepower platoon is that I have long planned to destroy the Japanese artillery position, as long as the Japanese army has no artillery position and lacks effective heavy firepower, according to the current arrangement of firepower points on the third line of defense, it is basically impossible for the Japanese army to break through the third line of defense." ”

Meng was annoyed and said, "The Japanese planes will still come." ”

Xia Yuan smiled: "Do you remember the useless trenches I asked you to dig earlier?" ”

A few people were stunned for a moment, when the Japanese troops began to assemble in the forest two days ago, Xia Yuan took them to dig a few trenches next to the third line of defense, and these trenches were separated from the frontal battlefield.

Now that they heard Xia Yuan mention it, they faintly thought of something.

Meng was the smartest of the men, and he immediately thought of the role of these trenches, and said, "You mean, these trenches should be kept for the planes used against the Japanese army?" ”

Xia Yuan nodded: "Nonsense, otherwise what to do with all this effort, the Japanese planes don't know the situation on the battlefield, as long as the green plants are used to decorate our positions, from the sky, the useless trenches dug will be particularly obvious, and the pilots on the planes will give priority to bombing these two trenches, these two trenches are also called bait trenches by me." ”

As soon as Xia Yuan said this, everyone was stunned, it turned out that he could still play like this against the aircraft, digging two decoy trenches and exposing them, and then using vegetation to decorate the position, from the sky, it was obvious that the two trenches were particularly prominent, and the pilots on the Japanese planes would give priority to bombing the two decoy trenches.

Bu Spicy said: "It's wonderful, Xiao Dongyang must not have imagined that the trench we dug for him is fake." ”

To Ma said: "No, how can someone be the head of the regiment, just this head is better than the snake's buttocks." ”

When the snake's butt heard this, he couldn't help but hit the steel helmet with the butt of the gun.

"Okay, the plan is such a plan, about tonight's operation, I don't plan to send too many people over, Long Wenwen, you stay and be responsible for organizing the soldiers to rest the trenches, in addition, the firepower points on the ridge should also be arranged as soon as possible, and another squad of fighters will be sent to expand the false trench, the longer the trench, the little Japanese devil's plane will believe."

Xia Yuan began to arrange the next things: "The vigilance at night should be strengthened, and if there are any more routs in the forest, let them sing, and those who can't sing will be shot, and they will rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one." ”

"Yes! Tuanza, you can rest assured, I promise that the arrangements will be made for you. Long Wenwen grinned and said, "Tuanzao, can I also go with me and let Ah Yi stay?" ”

Ah Yi turned his head to look at Xia Yuan, looking a little nervous.

Xia Yuan said: "Ah Yi has too little experience in leading troops to fight, once the night attack of the Japanese army comes, it is easy to make wrong decisions and cause the soldiers to die. ”

Ah Yi nodded, hugged the notebook in his arms, and said, "I'm recording the situation on the battlefield." ”

Long Wenwen stopped talking, he wanted to follow to bomb the Japanese artillery position, but they were all gone, and no one stayed on the position, he wanted to stay.

"Milong, Li Wula, snake skin, Kangya, bean cake, sheep eggs, annoying, not spicy, numb, annoying."

Xia Yuan clicked on the list of people who will act together tonight: "Since we have to pass through the garrison area of 5,000 Japanese troops, the number of people should not be too much, ten people are enough, and the strength of a detachment of the Japanese army is enough." The others stayed behind to assist the dragon deputy regimental seat in the work, and the third line of defense tried to be able to defend against air and artillery, and once the first two lines of defense were defeated, the third line of defense would become our last line of defense. ”

The person who was named was a little excited, and said non-spicy: "Regiment commander, are we going to change our guns?" ”

Xia Yuan said: "Change, change the gun we came out of the airport!" ”

The number of those guns is not large, most of them are submachine guns, and they are not like the basic rifles used by the routs now, there are Japanese 38 type, VZ24 short rifles, also known as 'horse four rings', there are formal rifles, there are Lee Enfield No1 Mk3 rifles, and M1917 rifles, proper Wanguo brand, and submachine guns are very rare among them.

Only the more than thirty submachine guns they brought out from the airport were later put up by Xia Yuan, and the submachine guns would not be taken out until they fought at night.

"Tonight's operation is strictly confidential, Long Wenwen, take them to get guns, six magazines of ammunition per person, once we sneak attack the Japanese artillery position, whether it succeeds or fails, we will face the attack of the Japanese army from all sides, and then there will be a fierce battle waiting for us."

There are not many magazines for submachine guns, and the reserve ammunition of six magazines is already sky-high.

Xia Yuan said again: "Milong carries a light machine gun, this is your strength, and in addition, sheep eggs and bean cakes do not need to be Milong's machine gun deputies." ”

Dou Cake and Sheep Egg were a little happy, these few battles came down, they have been serving as the machine gun deputy of the dragon, changing the gun, pressing the bullet, with the magazine, it is their job, not holding the gun and fighting the Japanese army, is their only regret.

And tonight, they were finally able to hold their guns and engage in a fierce battle with the little Japanese devils.

At half past eleven o'clock in the evening, the Japanese artillery bombardment that lasted for nearly three days finally stopped, Long Wenwen and a platoon of soldiers hid behind the forward position, passing through the forward position of the Japanese artillery plough, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, the surroundings were pitch black, and the shadows of the trees in the distance were swaying, like a series of hideous ghosts.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is the time to act.
