The morning breeze blew gently through the treetops, just like the gentlest girl caressing AI Lang's little hand. The birds in the forest lightly jumped around on the treetops to start a new day of eating.
Liu Yi, wearing a grass-green camouflage uniform with a branch on his head camouflaged by branches, lay quietly in the grass, staring quietly ahead, as if there was something there that was strongly attracting his attention.
A small sparrow looking for food was hopping in front of him, not even noticing that a dangerous creature was lurking next to it.
Today is Liu Yi's second day of lurking, and the target still has not appeared, but Liu Yi is not in a hurry. He can lack everything in this mission, but the most indispensable thing is patience.
He slowly moved his feet, which had begun to feel numb, and slowly closed his sore eyes. After a while, when Liu Yi opened his eyes again, his eyes were fixed firmly forward again.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."
Suddenly there was a cry of birds in front of him. Several birds fluttered from the ground and flew up to the branches. Liu Yi's ears immediately started to stand up, and sharp eyes suddenly shot out. He had followed his old man since he was a child.
He was very familiar with this sound when he went hunting in the mountains. It was the cry that the birds in the mountains and forests made when they were frightened.
After a while, there was a noise in front, and then several figures appeared in his sight. Liu Yi couldn't help but narrow his eyes behind the scope of the Garand rifle. With the help of the scope,
He saw clearly the target more than 500 meters ahead. The khaki eyes and the style of the military uniforms clearly told him that those people were a group of soldiers, and they were Japanese soldiers.
"Are they the targets we want to guard?"
Liu Yi narrowed his eyes habitually, raised the corners of his mouth, and said softly: "I hope you are a big fish. You must know that I have been here alone for three days for this mission."
Having said this, he reached out and touched the individual radio station behind him, as if he was looking for some comfort in his heart, and his mood suddenly became much calmer.
Slowly, a group of mules and horses appeared in front of him. In front were fifty or sixty Japanese troops, in the middle were sixty or seventy mules and horses, and behind the mules and horses were pulling artillery pieces. Liu Yi roughly counted them.
There were thirty or forty artillery pieces. Behind them was a long line of people. Liu Yi looked at them and saw that there were hundreds of them.
"Type 92 infantry running, 75-caliber mountain artillery, field artillery, mortars, and ammunition, good guys, this is the firepower of more than half of the field artillery regiment. What on earth do you want to do?" Liu
Yi murmured a few words.
The place where Liu Yi is staying now is two kilometers southwest of the Enping 400th Division position. There is a mountain named Hongshan. Due to the dangerous terrain of this place, Bai Jingran did not invest too much troops and only deployed one battalion.
As a defensive force, Liu Yi originally did not need to feed mosquitoes here, but due to the higher terrain of Hongshan, if it was occupied by the Japanese army, they could use artillery from a high position to wreak havoc on the 400 Division's positions. This situation is something Bai Jingran will never allow.
Yes, but if we send another one to defend Hongshan, there will not be enough troops. So Bai Jingran came up with this method, which is to send some small teams of capable personnel from the army to lurk around so that the intelligence can be reported to the rear in a timely manner. Now
It seems that Bai Jingran's worries are justified. The Japanese army is indeed eyeing this place.
Soon, the leading troops of the Japanese army began to pass less than ten meters away from Liu Yi. However, although the Japanese army was large in number, they were in good order. No one spoke along the way, they just marched with their heads down, and at most there were occasional horses.
neighing sound.
This group of people kept passing in front of Liu Yi, and the dust they raised kept flying to his body. Fine dust also flew into his nostrils from time to time, making his nostrils itchy. Several times he almost punched him.
He sneezed, but he forced himself to hold it down.
Nearly half an hour passed, and the long mixed team of mules and horses finally passed. A khaki human-shaped bag of dirt on the side of the path moved. Liu Yi, who had become a native, shook his body and shook off the dust.
Fall to the ground.
He stared at the retreating Japanese soldiers, turned on the power of the radio, connected to the predetermined channel and whispered: "A native dog calls a jackal, a native dog calls a jackal, please answer if you hear it."
Soon, a suppressed laughing voice came from the headset, "The jackal heard it, the native dog please speak!"
Liu Yi sighed helplessly. He knew from the time he accepted the mission that this code name would definitely be laughed at for several years, but there was no way. Who made this code name personally set by the superiors? There was no way he could change it.
Go cry out for injustice.
Taking a deep breath to calm down, Liu Yi said: "Tugou reported that a group of Japanese troops just passed through Area 3. Their size is about a field artillery regiment, with a number of more than 1,300 people, and they have
There are twelve Type 92 infantry guns, eleven 75-caliber field guns, and eight 105-caliber mountain guns. Judging from their marching direction, their destination is Hongshan. We are now requesting a strike against this enemy.
"
"Jackal understands, you continue to lurk and report immediately if anything happens!"
"You dog understands!"
Liu Yi's report was quickly reported to Bai Jingran. Looking at the information reported below, Bai Jingran frowned. He did not expect that the Japanese army noticed the loopholes in their defense so quickly and responded quickly.
If Hongshan was occupied by the Japanese and they bombarded them from above, the 400 Division's position would immediately be in danger of collapse.
"Hmph, little devil, do you think that everything will be fine after occupying Hongshan? Don't forget, although Hongshan is located at a high position and is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is only for infantry, but it does not have much defensive power against attacks from the air.
of."
After saying that, Bai Jingran immediately grabbed the phone on the table and said, "Hey, switchboard? Help me answer the First Air Division..."
Three hours later, after going through untold hardships, they climbed up Hongshan Mountain. The Japanese field artillery regiment, which was building an artillery position, saw a group of black vultures flying in the sky. The first black vulture fiercely raised its head.
With a strike, the strikes from the air began immediately...
"Ring ring ring..."
A rapid ringing sounded on the desk of Lieutenant General Guzhuang Qianlang, commander of the 21st Army, who had transferred his headquarters to Jiangmen.
"Hello... I'm Guzhuang Qianlang, what's the matter? Nani... the field artillery wing was bombed by China's air force? You immediately order the air force to rush over and drive away the China fighter planes! What, it's too late? It's too late.
We are going too, tell Colonel Makino Yasuo and ask him to rush over as quickly as possible, immediately!"
"Snapped……"
Seeing that Fushiro Chiro had put down the phone and looked very unhappy, Major General Tanaka Kuichi, the chief of staff on the side, quickly asked: "Your Excellency, Commander, has our field artillery wing been attacked by the China Air Force?"
"Yes!" Guzhuang Qianlang nodded, "I originally wanted to capture a piece of their position and open a breakthrough before the Chinese people had time to react, but I didn't expect that the Chinese people reacted so quickly and immediately sent out the air force.
After attacking the field artillery regiment, it seems that the method of opening a gap through Hongshan will not work."
Major General Tanaka Jiuichi shook his head and said: "Your Excellency Commander Guang, the China Three Hundred Army is a well-equipped and well-trained force. If you want to defeat them, you can only rely on real strength. Fight them with the same tactics as against the China Central Army."
impossible."
Guzhuang Qianlang sighed, "It seems that I underestimated them. I didn't expect that after the fierce battle with the 50th Flying Group and the Naval Aviation, their air force could actually be dispatched on a large scale." At this point Guzhuang said.
Qianlang said very distressedly: "I don't understand. In order for the Three Hundred Army to maintain such powerful weapons and firepower output, it must either have the support of a powerful force or have its own arms industry enterprise. According to
According to our intelligence, he possesses neither of these, so where did he get so many advanced weapons?"
Major General Tanaka Jiuichi snorted coldly when he heard this: "Our intelligence agencies are a bunch of rubbish. Until now, they can't even figure out the source of the weapons of the Chinese people. Unfortunately, they still boast that they are great. Unexpectedly, they are also a bunch of people who only know how to do it."
They're bombastic trash! I really don't know how that guy Kenji Doihara taught them."
"Shut up...Tanaka-kun, be careful what you say! If these words get out, it will be very detrimental to you!" Hearing this, Furuzou Mikiro's expression changed and he drank in a low voice.
Kenji Doihara, who came from an intelligence agency, was already the commander of the Fifth Army of Northern Manchuria at this time. His status was not lower than that of Takaro Furusou, but even higher than him. In addition, Kenji Doihara was highly regarded by Emperor Hirohito.
Its status is definitely not something that Chief of Staff Tanaka Kuichi can criticize.
Tanaka Kuichi was not a stupid person. He immediately realized that he was rude and quickly lowered his head and apologized: "I'm sorry, Commander, it was me who was rude!"
"Well, be careful in the future, do you understand?"
"Hai!"
Tanaka Kuichi glanced at Furushu Qianlang gratefully. He was not stupid, so he naturally heard the protective meaning in Furushu Qianlang's words. He just thought of the continuous defeats suffered by the 21st Army at the hands of the 300th Army in the past few days.
His heart was filled with unwillingness.
Seeing the unwilling look in Tanaka Jiuichi's eyes, Furushuo Qianlang comforted him: "Tanaka-kun, you don't have to be sad. The Three Hundred Army is only a very special unit in the army. We cannot treat them with common sense.
This time we will not only use powerful military force to wipe out their military power, but also eliminate the China general from the mainland. I'm afraid you don't know, but this time our intelligence agency sent a capable team.
Team, they have already lurked in Maoming, and will kill General China as soon as they get the chance. As long as Su Rui dies, we will be able to conquer Guangdong just around the corner!"
Speaking of this, Guzhuang Qianlang's voice couldn't help but become high-pitched!
