The dull sound was buried in the deep valley not far from the mountain, just like the more than two dozen Japanese invaders buried by collapsed stones and logs. On this night, no one knew that a man with five
The ten-man Japanese infantry squad quietly disappeared into the Taihang Mountains of China, on a position that once belonged to the Chinese.
It was a mistake from the moment they chose to enter the positions built by the Chinese. Perhaps, it was a mistake from the moment they entered China.
This move saved a lot of trouble. At least these twenty or so people didn't even have to dig holes for them.
Of course, when Liu Lang and Zhuang Er slaughtered more than twenty others with their bare hands, Liu Lang had no intention of digging a hole for them. Instead, he used the individual radios carried by Niu Er and others to inform the infantry platoon down the mountain that everything was proceeding as planned.
After the entire army assembled in Snowflake Mountain, they gave the special operations team an order that they were a little confused about.
More than twenty Japanese corpses were thrown out of their positions and dumped around the still-burning bonfire. Their grotesque corpses were left in the mountains and fields of China, and they were not even allowed to stay in simple positions.
No one could understand the thoughts of Liu Lang, who was standing slightly silent on the top of Fulu Ridge.
They didn't know that in the past, it was here that the critical military situation of the 17th Division was forced to retreat before it had time to contain thousands of remains. The Japanese general who occupied this place issued an extremely cruel order because of his heavy losses, not allowing
Local villagers collected any remains of Chinese troops and killed anyone found. Eleven local villagers were massacred as a result.
The remains of thousands of soldiers were exposed to the wind and rain. It was not until the spring plowing of the next year that the villagers took the opportunity of spring planting to move the bones of the soldiers into the canyon for burial.
Liu Lang has never been a generous person, especially when it comes to his enemies. His mind is as small as the eye of a needle and he will surely retaliate. If you are in the first year of junior high school, I will be in the fifteenth, even if you have done this once.
These twenty-odd Japanese soldiers were Liu Lang's tribute to the Chinese soldiers who died heroically here in time and space but could not be buried in peace.
"Team leader, what's the next combat mission for our team?" Niu Er asked with excitement as he watched a group of three-bouncer convoys quickly pass through the mountain road and go straight to Snowflake Mountain.
Since the entire special forces brigade received a secret order a few days ago to mobilize, he knew that there would be a big battle. But what he didn't expect was that except for the first battalion that was still in Jiuguan, the regiment's three main infantry battalions plus the combat strength were actually
The main force of the Zhuangding Battalion, which is not weak, has a total of 2,000 infantry, but its main force is only directed at Jingxing County. And behind these two thousand people, there are tens of thousands of people from five infantry regiments of the 129th Division.
Is this a plan to storm Jingxing County? There will even be a counter-encirclement of the infantry brigade on the Niangziguan front line? If this is the case, then this battle will be more glorious than the defeat of the Eighth Division in the Great Wall War. This speculation makes
The special forces second lieutenant couldn't help but shudder.
In the Battle of the Great Wall, despite the fact that the Independent Regiment combined with the two infantry regiments of the 29th Route Army to defeat the Eighth Division, most of the evaluations of this battle by Japan and China focused on the Fourth Brigade.
The regiment and the 8th Division were stupid and relied on sufficient troops to attack without detailed investigation. As a result, the independent regiment built extremely complete civil fortifications for more than a month and were beaten to death. In the end, they were captured by the independent regiment in a sneak attack due to heavy firepower.
However, few people praise the more than 7,000 soldiers of Liu Lang's Shuangwu Shiyi Independent Regiment and the 288th and 289th Third Regiments for their heroic resistance to the enemy. In other words, most of them deliberately ignore it.
The Japanese did not want to admit that the independent regiment led by Colonel Beast was powerful, but the Chinese side had no choice but to sacrifice the commander of the regiment because the supreme commander was disgraced by a certain young colonel. Over time, the falsehood became true.
But if this battle is successful, no one can deny this military achievement. This time, we fought against a Japanese division in a real field battle.
As for the 129th Division, the 17th Division, the Third Army and other units participating in the war, Niu Er knew very well that without the regimental commander to guide the fight, this battle would not be fought like this.
"Niu Er, the entire army of our independent regiment will attack Jingxing County around 11 o'clock. If you were to command this battle, how would you fight?" Standing on the mountain ridge, watching the long convoy of vehicles rumbling towards the
Liu Lang, who was far away, suddenly asked.
"If it were me..." Niu Er thought for a while and replied: "I would attack Dongcheng Station first, focusing on the large amount of supplies transported by the Japanese army from Shimen, and annihilating the Japanese army as the second priority. This would create a false impression for the Japanese army.
, I just came to grab something."
"Oh? What would the Japanese commander do if he was deceived by your illusion?" Liu Lang's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked himself this second lieutenant and junior officer with great interest.
"He will stand firm and wait for reinforcements, attract the main force of our army with supplies, quickly return reinforcements from a part of the Niangziguan front line, and surround our army. If he finds that the force is sufficient, he will eat our army. If he finds that our army is strong, he will rather
The artillery shelling of the baggage caused an explosion of ammunition reserves, killing and injuring a large number of our troops." Niu Er talked eloquently.
"Keep talking, I want to hear your battle plan." Liu Lang smiled softly.
"So, I will divide our army into two parts. Our independent regiment will attack the county town, while the five infantry regiments of the 129th Division will set up an ambush in the Snowflake Mountain area and wait for the Japanese infantry and artillery on the Niangziguan frontline to return reinforcements, just like they did in the previous Battle of the Valley.
If we use the advantageous terrain to attack them head-on, even if they cannot completely annihilate them, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses. If possible, the Jiuguan and Niangziguan fronts will also launch a counterattack, taking advantage of the lack of Japanese troops at this time to besiege them."
Niu Er said confidently.
"Haha, that's right, very good. But..." Liu Lang smiled.
What the special forces lieutenant thought was actually very good, especially the essence of encircling a point for reinforcements was used very well, and even tactical confusion was used.
"It's just what? Tuanzu, Niu Er is just making up his own mind. If it's wrong, don't laugh at me." Niu Er still heard the slight twist in Liu Lang's words, and scratched his head in surprise.
"No, no, I have to say that your Captain Yu is better than me. When I trained you in the past, I paid too much attention to individual combat capabilities and rarely let you look at the battle situation from a higher level. Fortunately, these days,
You all did a great job in the new year, and what you said today did not disappoint me and gave me some small inspiration, but! Your layout is still too small." Liu Lang shook his head gently.
, set his sights in the direction of Jingxing County, or further west, and continued: "If you set your sights further, perhaps, there will be new changes in your tactical arrangements."
"Hiss~~~~" Niu Er took a breath of cold air. The target of the regiment commander was not the target of Jingxing County or the more than 5,000 Japanese invaders on the front line of Niangziguan?
Apart from these, what else is more worthy of his attention? Only...
"Hey, Niu Er, I will adopt part of the suggestion you just made. However, no distress signal will be sent out from Jingxing County. This time your special operations team's combat mission is to cooperate with the death camp in the south of Jingxing County.
After entering the county, you must advance to Xicheng as quickly as possible. There will be two infantry platoons to cooperate with you. You must not let the remaining Japanese soldiers escape into Xicheng District, where Chinese people live more concentratedly. Remember,
We invaded the county town to rescue our Chinese people, not to bring disaster to them. Any Japanese soldier who jumps over the wall will bring huge disaster to the people. Can you guarantee the completion of this combat mission?" Liu Lang said deeply
looked at Niu Er.
Ever since he formulated the Jingxing battle plan, Liu Lang's biggest headache was not how to invade the county. Since the Battle of the Valley, 3,000 Japanese reinforcements had been wiped out, and only about 1,000 Japanese invaders were left to defend Jingxing County.
The fortified young woman has already been arranged for him to pick and dine at any time. It is not the massive luggage near the train station. From the very beginning when he arrived in eastern Shanxi, he had made enough arrangements around the Jingxing County train station. He only waited for the plan to be implemented smoothly.
Can be activated.
His biggest headache is how to reduce the casualties of civilians. There are more than 1,000 Japanese troops stationed in Jingxing County, not more than 1,000 pigs. How can a dog jump over the wall when it is anxious? Not to mention more than 1,000 fully armed Japanese troops. In the past time and space, people were crazy
After the Japanese army was surrounded, they massacred civilians and even used civilians as shields. Facing their own compatriots, the finger that pulled the trigger would not be able to use enough strength unless the person had an extremely tough personality.
But Liu Lang is not a god. He cannot solve all emergencies in advance. He can only try his best to prevent them. He must have a strong enough force to penetrate into the city the moment he attacks the south gate.
A defense line was established in Xicheng District to prevent Japanese troops from trying to break into Xicheng District.
However, that is not easy. Because there are many Chinese civilians in that area, they may not receive enough artillery support and can only fight the enemy with the light weapons they carry...
"Yes!" Niu Er stood at attention without hesitation and accepted Liu Lang's military order.
"As long as Niu Er and his brothers are still breathing, they will never let a little devil break into Huo Huo, fellow villagers in Xicheng District."
Of course Niu Er knew the difficulty of Liu Lang's military order. He and his five brothers would rush into the core position of the Japanese army as quickly as possible. It was impossible for two infantry platoons to rush in like them. They still needed to contain the enemy and fight.
For at least twenty minutes, they will face the crazy Japanese army alone.
This time, their battlefield will not be in darkness, but will be exposed in front of the Japanese positions. They will fight one against ten or even dozens of enemies in the most brutal special assault. The people they want to protect are not just a few.
Not dozens, but thousands.
An almost impossible task.
However, Niu Er still accepted it without hesitation.
The moment the Independence Regiment took an oath to march out of the Qinling Mountains, they were fighting for the Chinese nation and fighting to protect their brothers, sisters, parents, and relatives.
Now, he has to do it.
"Okay! I'm waiting for your report in Jingxing County." Liu Lang nodded. "If you defend well, the Japanese army may withdraw northward, and in the future Lieutenant Niu, your strategic vision may be realized."
"Yes, I promise to complete the task." Niu Er's face showed a hint of excitement.
It's not that the future Lieutenant Niu makes him happy, but that the regimental commander adopted part of his strategic vision, which is a rare honor for every soldier.
