After the third platoon leader took the people away, the monk said to the first and second platoon leaders, "Do you know why I asked the third platoon to take away all the heavy machine guns? Because this is not the battlefield where we will finally fight the Japanese."<
/p>
"In addition, the mountain is steep. We use the reverse slope to fight the Japanese. The mobility requirements are very high. Leaving the heavy machine gun here will not be of much use. Instead, it will become a drag."
A platoon leader asked: "Company commander, you want to place the decisive battle in Lijiapo!"
"That is indeed a good place. In addition, we have built the Maoerdong artillery defense fortifications in advance. Even the enemy's artillery fire can't do anything to us. When the company commander just mentioned Maoerdong and Lijiapo, I thought of it.
"The second platoon leader's eyes were shining brightly.
The monk smiled and said: "Although the line of sky in front of us is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we cannot deploy all our troops. The reverse slope can avoid the Japanese artillery fire, but we do not have enough suitable machine gun fortifications to deploy all the firepower to block the Japanese. The Japanese are more powerful than the enemy."
We have a large number of people, plus the advantage of artillery fire. If we rely on the front line to defend, casualties will definitely be inevitable."
"Once our guard company is exhausted and the Japanese break through, the arsenal and field hospital will be doomed."
"So even if we want to fight, we can't fight in front of our own house."
"Lead the little Japs to Lijiapo. Even if we all die, the headquarters will be able to react enough. If the Japs are trapped in Lijiapo, the arsenal and field hospital will never be damaged. This is our mission. I am filming
The chest promised to the leader, brothers, do you have this kind?"
The platoon leader said: "There must be! Hehe, company commander, the brothers in the regiment say that the regiment commander favors our guard company the most, not even the cavalry company. We have to show it to the brothers in the regiment today.
Look, it’s not without reason that the regiment commander is partial to our security company."
"Aren't there just over 500 Japs? Let's make sure they never come back."
The monk laughed and said: "That's right, our security company may not be the opponent of this Japanese army. As long as we get to Lijiapo, we still don't know who will lose and who will win!"
"I have made arrangements for the demolition team."
"Landmines have been laid in the central area of the narrow corridor in the first line of sky. In addition, the regiment commander has allocated a lot of explosive packages to our guard company this time. I have asked the soldiers to bury them on both sides of the mountain. In addition, try to pile up a large number of explosive packages on the outside.
We must ensure that after the explosion, these stones can be scattered directly from the mountains on both sides and hit the road. Even if they can't kill the little devil, they will still block the road for me."
"After the sneak attack is successful, before retreating, the mountains on both sides must be blown down to seal off the sky."
"We must not let the little devils pass through the sky and get close to the arsenal and field hospitals."
"Yes!"
The first platoon leader and the second platoon leader arranged for the team to quickly arrive at the designated combat positions on both sides of the mountain.
The monk thought for a while, then called the ninth squad leader, and arranged: "The terrain here is very steep. If there is no one to guard it, let alone little devils, I won't believe it."
"This time we are taking advantage of the steep terrain of the sky to carry out an ambush. It is best to trick the Japanese into walking along the road."
"But how to deceive? I thought about it, and you, the ninth squad, will be stationed on the road between the sky and the sky. When you see the Japs, you must pretend to be panicked, and then fire two random shots at the Japs.
Turn around and run."
"The little Japs have never taken our Eighth Route Army seriously. If you run away, the Japs will probably not suspect it. As long as we successfully step into the sky and the sky, our chance will come."
"Yes!" The ninth squad leader responded.
After the ninth squad leader left, the monk finally gave instructions to the first platoon leader and the second platoon leader, saying: "The battle in the first line of sky will not last long. After the sneak attack is successful, we must immediately blow up the mountain, block the first line of sky, and then turn to the direction of Lijiapo.
Start a decisive battle with the little devil."
"This involves a question, that is, whether we can successfully attract the little devils to the direction of Lijiapo."
"This requires us to kill as many Japs as possible to arouse the anger of the Japs. Once the Japs hate us, they will definitely want to kill us to vent their hatred. In addition, the sky is blocked, and the Japs will be able to kill the Japs in a short time.
They can’t pass, and they will definitely continue to hunt us down.”
"After the battle started and the ambush broke out, tell the soldiers not to keep any grenades and throw them away as much as you can. Taking advantage of this condescending terrain, the grenades thrown can be used as mortars. They are used to kill the devils.
Best opportunity."
"Yes!" the two platoon leaders responded.
"By the way, company commander, should we send someone to inform the arsenal and the hospital about the Japs touching the sky?"
The monk thought for a while, nodded and said: "It is true that someone should be sent to inform the arsenal, but we have to make it clear to the arsenal and the hospital that our security company will never let the little devils get even half a step closer to the arsenal and hospital, so that they don't panic too much.
."
"Yes!"
Everything was arranged, and the monk followed a platoon of commanders to station near the ridgeline of the mountain on the left side of the sky.
In the woods.
The old devil Yamazaki continued to move forward with his troops. As he went deeper and deeper, he found more and more traces along the way. There must have been large troops passing here, plus there were many ruts and horse hoof prints. It was very possible that
It is in the direction of the Eighth Route Army Arsenal.
Looking at the getting closer and closer to the sky, looking at the growing gap that seemed to be torn between the mountains, Yamasaki's heart became more and more excited.
Maybe he really found the Eighth Route Army's arsenal.
The Japanese scouts continued to guard the surroundings, but the monk in the guard company had ordered all the scouts to return to the sky, so they were not exposed in advance to alert the snake.
Shitou's estimated time was correct. Since he was a little unfamiliar with the terrain in this area, it took nearly twenty-five minutes for the Yamazaki Brigade to get close to the sky.
When standing under the mountain at the entrance to the gap in the sky, feeling how small he was compared to the huge mountain, Yamazaki couldn't help but sigh:
"The uncanny craftsmanship of nature is truly amazing!"
The adjutant on the side was worried about another thing, "Sir, look at the steep mountains here, with two peaks rising high. Only a narrow path allows passage through the gap in the middle. This is a dangerous place for military personnel. If there is
The enemy is ambushing this place, and if we rush into it rashly, we will definitely suffer heavy losses."
Yamazaki nodded in agreement, but this did not hinder his old arrogance, "Having said that, our army crossed here in a perfect curve, moving forward covertly, absolutely not exposed. How could the Eighth Route Army know that we suddenly appeared here?
”
As soon as he finished speaking, two gunshots suddenly sounded on the road between the sky and the sky.
