About 20 minutes later, the platoon leader, who was dozing in the night breeze, suddenly realized that the recruit who was said to have diarrhea had not returned yet.
Immediately, a cold air rose from the tail vertebrae and rushed to the position of Tianling Gai.
Because he had already reacted and knew that something was wrong.
Either that recruit had met the Japs' elite soldiers who were lurking over, and was now killing them silently.
Either this guy, who usually seems honest and trustworthy, is the Japanese spy that the military has been looking for. Now that he hasn't come back for so long, he might have run away with important information.
In short, no matter which possibility is possible, it is not a good thing.
After realizing the above, he wisely did not take his men and immediately started looking for people in the dark. Instead, after strengthening the defense of the position, he took a squad and started taking action.
At the same time, he sent someone to report such an abnormal thing to his company commander.
The company commander and others reported this situation all the way up, and finally the report reached the headquarters of the 569th Regiment.
During such a period of continuous reporting, the platoon leader and his men used flashlights or even some torches to search around the area around the position.
As a result, they did not find even a shadow of a ghost, so a new recruit who was suspected to be a Japanese spy seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
Moreover, they did not find any traces of the fight in the surrounding area.
As a result, in their basic judgment, the recruit should be a Japanese spy, and now he has escaped with important information.
As for the specific important information, they still don't know yet.
But such an unexpected incident still aroused their vigilance.
So on such a night, all the troops of the 569th Regiment received an order to cheer up and be ready for battle at any time.
Even belonging to the 568th Regiment and the 569th Regiment of the 190th Division at the same time, they also received related compatriots.
It's just that the guards they sent to Bajia Ridge are still the same three...
At 9:57 in the evening, Yang Dongli and a group of five people knocked on the door of Lieutenant Yang Guodong's room.
After an afternoon of busy work, their five-person action team finally learned more about Lieutenant Yang.
His actual identity is a lieutenant and deputy company commander of the engineer company of the 7th Regiment of the 3rd Division, the most powerful combat force in the 10th Army.
The rank of lieutenant was earned through hard work.
Because he started out as a soldier and fought with the Japanese for 6 years before becoming such a small official, the reputation of the grassroots of the 7th Regiment was always well received.
It is precisely based on this point that Yang Dongli and others plan to use Yang Guodong's influence to promote their more advanced defenses in the 7th Regiment.
So after a day of busy work, although they were very tired and a little tired, they still started to take action after getting some good things.
After opening the door, he looked at Lieutenant Yang with a very confused look.
The big liar was such a social powerhouse, or rather a stinker, and completely ignored the disgust on the face of Lieutenant Yang, who was about to sleep.
Matching the sincere expression on his face, he said:
"Sir Yang, you have worked really hard for the defense of Hengyang City today. In such a time of chaos and war, there is nothing good to entertain you.
I just got a few cans of braised pork and a jar of rice wine.
Although it stands to reason that you shouldn’t drink alcohol at this time, but I think it doesn’t matter if I drink a little bit in the evening to relieve fatigue.”
After Yang Guodong, who usually barely ate a full stomach and the smell of birds had long since faded from his mouth, heard this, the tiredness on his face immediately disappeared.
As for the rule about not drinking at night, it doesn’t matter.
They were immediately welcomed into such a temporary residence, and everyone was invited to sit down at a table with a missing leg.
Half an hour later, Lieutenant Yang was already a little drunk.
While holding a half-smoked cigarette in his hand, he was already patting his chest in reassurance.
I promise that early tomorrow morning, I will go to my immediate superiors and pass on their advanced defense experience here.
If possible, I would also like to contact the brothers in the 8th and 9th regiments regarding this matter.
After drinking a lot of rice wine, Boa, who was also a little drunk, also used his fingers stained with wine to draw anti-tank cones and anti-tank trenches on the table.
While using a somewhat big tongue, he began to introduce the construction methods of these things.
Because according to the information they found, in this war, the Japanese were able to enter Hengyang City only because the little bean tanks played a huge role.
After seeing anti-tank cones and anti-tank trenches, Lieutenant Yang, who was a railway worker at that time, felt as if the door in front of him was opening wider and wider.
I saw the big liar working hard to cultivate interpersonal relationships, and Mang worked hard to contribute his engineering and soldier experience.
Yang Dongli, the warehouse manager, and the translator looked at each other secretly for a few times, then nodded slightly.
In this operation, they brought along two newcomers, Mang and Dahuyou, and they indeed had the idea of using their personal expertise.
At the same time, he was observing the abilities and characters of these people under Hu Biao's instructions.
After such a long day of observation, I found that these two rookies performed pretty well; but if I don't really want to be recruited into the team, I still have to see their performance in the battle before making the final decision.
In short, under the torment of Yang Dongli and others day and night, the body is as busy as a big animal. Although it is a little hard now, the work is getting better and better...
******
At 0:31 on the 26th, in a village 20 miles away from Hengyang City.
Occupying the best one with large blue bricks and tiles, Lieutenant Colonel Keisuke Matsuyama of the Japanese Matsuyama detachment took a look at a valuable watch he had snatched in his hand, and it showed the current time.
Without looking back, he asked in a low voice:
"Akita, that spy agent arranged by the Special High School Section in the 569th Regiment hasn't delivered any strange information yet?"
"No, except for the one message received in the morning, we have not received any news so far. So, Mr. Matsuyama, are we still going to continue our operations tonight? Where should we use that as a breakthrough."
After hearing this, the one called Adjutant Akita immediately answered respectfully from behind.
‘Trash~’ Matsuyama Keisuke cursed.
I don’t know if I’m scolding the people in the extra-high school class or my adjutant.
Then, after pondering for a while, the strong Japanese made his decision: "Immediately notify the Kameda team to set off as the vanguard and let them wipe out all the opponent sentries along the way.
The large forces are also following up one after another, and we will still use Bajia Ridge as the breakthrough point tonight~"
"Hi~" The adjutant immediately accepted the order, turned around and had someone issue such an order.
Then, more than 50 little devils with obviously different costumes set out under the night.
Specifically, these Japanese were dressed like those who attacked Zhao Jiayu and took away Xiuqin, the wife of Lao Li.
(The author has not found any relevant information about the Songshan detachment, so I will set it according to this)
The helmet on his head was painted black, and he was wearing some black vests with many magazines inserted and many grenades hanging on the vests.
The weapons they carry are mostly shorter-bodied 38-type carbines, as well as a few hundred-type submachine guns that are rare among other Japanese troops.
Even cold weapons such as bayonets and daggers are painted black so that they will not reflect light under the night light.
There is even a small radio station on the back of a Japanese soldier.
After such a small group set off towards Bajia Ridge, more Japs in almost the same costume also gathered together and headed in that direction.
In such an operation, their movements were so concealed that the defenders of the Guo army were not even aware of it.
From this point of view, it seems that all the previous actions of Hu Biao and the others have not changed the situation at all, and things have continued to happen in the same usual way.
Because of the Japs' actions, it seemed like nothing had changed.
It's not right to say that, because in addition to the 569th regiment being energetic tonight, there are still many preparations waiting for them on Bajia Ridge.
Everything depends on the outcome of the collision between the two sides at dawn...
