"Hey, why is it raining again? My shoes are full of water now, and the rain that comes out of every step is enough for my mother to boil porridge for two days. ”

You Long Regiment, the Second Combat Brigade, the First Battalion, the Third Company, the Third Platoon, the Third Squad, Yao Erbing, wiped the rain from his face, took off his shoes, poured out the stagnant water inside, and then put it back on.

"Okay, don't complain, our equipment is much better than the enemy, we are already drenched like this, they will only be more unbearable, go, take advantage of the heavy rain to be able to hide the sound of our walking, and touch some distance further, I always feel that the enemy is stationed here with more troops than just saw."

Yao Erbing was beside Yue Baoqu, who claimed to be Yue Fei's descendant, and today the two of them got a scout errand and made a roundabout way towards a mountain peak in front of them.

But just now, the two of them found rows of yellow mud footprints filled with rainwater, judging from the footprints, there was at least a team of more than 100 people walking here, and the time did not exceed twenty minutes.

After Wu Xiaolong's Youlong Regiment and Wang Xian's troops successfully defeated the Japanese army entrenched in Kunming, they continued to advance in the northeast direction according to the original plan, but they had just gone far before they encountered this once-in-a-century heavy rain.

Not only that, according to the aerial intelligence sent by Zhou Zhen, there seemed to be traces of people and vehicles moving on their way to the northeast.

At this time, perhaps it was reminded by his companions that the Japanese army had rarely used radio communications before major military operations, and all of them had changed to wired telephones, or directly asked the heralds to send messages, which was very careful.

However, this is not difficult for the people of the Dragon Tour, after all, radio communication is a new high-tech product, and they can still win the battle before they are developed, and they can still collect intelligence, for example, just now, Yue Baoqu and Yao Erbing made a discovery, and at this time decided to take advantage of the rain to explore a distance.

After putting on his military boots, Yao Erbing wiped the rain on his face again, he and Yue Baoqu were wearing auspicious clothes wrapped with branches and leaves at the moment, which was also a unique costume of Longxing Military Academy, not to mention, as long as they didn't move, it was extremely difficult to be found lying in the bushes or bushes.

The two continued to touch the top of the mountain in the pre-agreed direction, and the rain in the sky became heavier and heavier, and soon they found a muddy path that had been artificially trodden.

Originally, in the deep mountains where this bird does not, the path on which the beast walked could be seen at most, but it was completely different from the path that humans and a large number of humans had walked on, and they could still easily distinguish the difference between the two.

"Dog's day's little devil, there is still a unit stationed here."

The two climbed a large tree with a dense canopy, and looked not far away with the telescopes they carried with them, and saw several Japanese soldiers hiding under the natural umbrella cover of a rock wall, seemingly eating some kind of dry food that was easy to carry.

Yue Baoqu changed a tree, reconnoitred in that direction from another angle, and saw a group of Japanese soldiers, about a dozen people gathered together, and they had the audacity to raise a small fire and roast their shoes and socks.

"This bunch of dogs...... Second soldier, you go in that direction, I'll come this way, see how many positions these guys have arranged, keep in mind the location where they are stationed, and draw it for the squad leader when I go back. ”

"No problem, be careful, we'll meet in this place in a moment."

"Okay, be careful, too."

Yao Erbing and Yue Baoqu acted separately, one left and one right extended towards both sides of the enemy's fortifications, but they were surprised when they walked like this, because the enemy actually arranged no less than 100 skirmish camps on this mountain, not only that, but they also took the peak of the mountain as the main position, relying on the small straggler positions that seemed to be scattered around but were actually horns of each other, forming a fortress group, systematically scattered among the mountains and hills.

The two of them watched carefully, remembering even more attentively, Yue Baoqu was still bold, using the double cover of the heavy rain and his auspicious suit, and climbed to a position only three meters away from the Japanese army.

After gathering enough information, he retreated backwards little by little with great caution, and finally returned to the place where he had discussed with Yao Erbing.

"Baoqu, why are you so slow? I thought something had happened to you, but I've almost remembered it on my side, but what about you? ”

Yue Baoqu made a gesture that there was no problem, and the two of them took advantage of the rain curtain to return to the camp of the Dragon Traveling Group a kilometer away.

"Bah, bah~ I have rain in my whole body, even in the cracks of my buttocks, hurry up and change our clothes."

As soon as he returned to the camp, Yao Erbing began to take off his clothes and shoes, without caring about his image, he took off all those wet clothes and threw them to Li Dakui, who rushed over to join in the fun, and asked the latter to help him dry them.

After receiving the hot water handed by Guo Yang and Zhu Dandan, Yue Baoqu and Yao Erbing drew the information they had detected on paper, and then merged together.

The two of them recalled each other and made some modifications, and then moved it back to a new piece of paper, which was handed to the squad leader Du Luoming.

"What? Is there really an enemy defensive position on that mountain? No, I have to report this information to the platoon commander immediately, you can rest here for a while, and I'll go back as soon as I go. ”

Yue Baoqu sent the information to the squad leader, and the squad leader handed it to the platoon commander, and this information was quickly reached in front of Mu Dezhu, the commander of the second brigade.

Mu Dezhu glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Well done, give credit to the brother who drew this picture." ”

He also saw the importance of this information, and immediately called Niu Zhixin and several other middle-level officers to Wu Xiaolong's operational command room together.

Mu Dezhu stepped in with his front foot, and shouted with his back foot: "Brother Long~~ There is news, there is an army of devils stationed on the mountain in front, and this is the distribution map of their foxholes." ”

Wu Xiaolong, who was studying the road map, had his eyes lit up, and immediately spread the map that Mu Dezhu had given him on top of the one he had just seen, and subconsciously read it out.

"There are actually seven natural caves on that mountain? The enemy used the cave and the surrounding old villages to build fortifications and command centers, which was really stealthy ......"

Hearing Wu Xiaolong's words, a company commander next to him raised his hand and said, "That...... Commander, I used to live here, and I am familiar with the situation of that mountain, so I can give you a general introduction. ”

"Oh, you're a local? That's great, come on, you can explain this information to everyone in detail. ”

Na Ming Lian Zhang was pulled to the main seat by Wu Xiaolong, his expression was quite unnatural, and he could see that he was somewhat nervous.

However, after seeing the map and the information, his expression became more serious, and he began to put the terrain he was familiar with into this information and tell it to the commanders present.

Originally, this mountain in front of everyone was called Songshan, and the enemy used the cave to hoard soldiers, food, weapons and ammunition, and used Dazhai, waterwheels, and old villages to build fortifications.

In general, the entire Songshan position is composed of four independent combat bases, namely Songshan Peak, Rolling Dragon Slope, Da Yakou and Changling Gang, each stronghold has built one or two pillboxes at the commanding heights according to the terrain, and several sub-forts have been built on both sides, and the pillboxes are also connected by communication trenches buried deep underground, which can quickly support each other, and it seems to be an impregnable defensive position on the surface.

In addition, the enemy's fortifications went deep underground, both concealed and strong, and the camouflage was very clever, if it weren't for Yao Erbing and Yue Baoqu relying on heavy rain and auspicious clothes, they would definitely not be able to get so close and find out first-hand information.

Those pillboxes are all covered by fortifications, the cover is made of 20 to 40 centimeters of tree trunks, some of them build two layers, and some even build up to four layers, this kind of fortification is difficult to find in the sky by reconnaissance planes, even if it encounters aerial bombardment, it is not easy to be destroyed, and there are also a lot of ammunition, food and other daily necessities stored in it, and there are light machine gun bunkers in the surrounding skirmishers, crisscrossing and crisscrossing, and the terrain is extremely complicated.

In addition to light and heavy machine guns guarding the main road, these skirmishers also had riflemen, grenadiers, and snipers, which gradually became popular among the Japanese army, making it very difficult to approach the pillbox, let alone destroy it completely.

According to intelligence, the enemy also laid three barbed wire fences not far from the pillbox, even set up earthen traps and mines in some key areas, laid water pipes in the positions, buried telephone lines underground, and even placed a temporary field hospital and a tavern for soldiers to play and decompress.
