Heritou Ridge is actually a mountain col with a high center and low sides. The col is more than a hundred meters wide. There are only sparse shrubs and weeds in the middle, and the bottom is full of sand and gravel. On both sides of the col are cliffs with a height of more than fifty meters. On the right
There is also a rock on the cliff that looks like a monkey's head. The name monkey's head mountain comes from this rock.
Before Huang Shouxin led the officers and men of the third battalion up, Mei Jiuling's engineering battalion had already been digging fortifications on the ridge for a long time.
In this anti-mopping operation, Mei Jiuling's engineer battalion is working hard and has no serious combat missions at all. Their only mission now is to assist several main forces in building fortifications.
Xu Rui arranged this for two reasons. One was to hone the will of the engineer battalion, and the second was to protect the engineer battalion, because the engineer battalion was different from other infantry battalions. There were more than 400 soldiers in the engineer battalion.
The officers and soldiers are all young students of the same color, all intellectuals.
Since the Ming Dynasty, Chinese intellectuals have had a problem: they are not diligent in all aspects of their lives and cannot distinguish between grains and grains.
During the Republic of China, this problem showed no sign of improvement. When the more than 400 students in the engineering camp were first recruited, all of them were young masters.
But after several months of hard training, the situation is much better now.
Especially the engineer battalion commander Mei Jiuling, whose originally fair skin has been tanned to a tan color, and his arms and chest have developed bulging muscles. At this moment, Mei Jiuling is copying a short-handled engineer manuscript.
, was bending over and digging a trench, his bulging back muscles were covered with sweat, and when illuminated by the midday sun, it reflected a layer of oily brilliance, exuding a different kind of masculine charm.
It's a pity that there are no young women here, otherwise they would definitely be blushing and heart-beating.
Huang Shouxin walked over, stepped on the edge of the trench, and said with a smile: "Jiuling, thank you for your hard work."
When Mei Jiuling saw the smile on Huang Shouxin's face, she became angry and roared: "Get out of here."
Of course, Huang Shouxin would not go away, and continued to stand there and taunt Mei Jiuling: "Jiuling, look at you, you are in a hurry again, aren't you? It is the commander's order not to let your engineer battalion participate in the war, not me.
Why are you glaring at me? Why are you glaring at the group leader if you can, and venting your anger on the group leader? Really."
Mei Jiuling said in a low voice: "Captain, this is to protect us."
"Ah, so you understand quite well, so why are you so angry?"
Mei Jiuling said: "I just can't see your gloating face."
"Okay, okay, I'm not happy about my misfortune. I promise I'll never be happy about my misfortune again. I'd like to thank you. Thank you to the brothers from your engineering camp for building fortifications for us on such a hot day so that we can have enough time to rest. What about your engineering camp?"
The mission has been completed, go back quickly, the little devil is about to arrive."
After a pause, Huang Shoujiu turned around and shouted loudly: "All three battalions are here, salute the brothers of the engineering battalion!"
More than 500 officers and soldiers of the Third Battalion standing at the edge of the trench stood at attention and saluted. Huang Shouxin also stood at attention and saluted Mei Jiuling with a standard military salute.
"This damn thing is not bad." Mei Jiuling groaned, grabbed the short-sleeved shirt placed on the edge of the trench, and led the engineer battalion to the position unhappily.
The officers and soldiers of Huang Shouxin's third battalion quickly entered the defensive position.
Needless to say, the engineering battalion's more than three months of soil work was really not in vain. The fortifications they excavated were much better than those dug by the third battalion themselves.
Huang Shouxin couldn't help but secretly praise: Jiuling is a natural engineer.
But if Mei Jiuling heard this, he would probably be furious. His ideal is not to be an excellent engineer. The reason why he agreed to Xu Rui to be the commander of the engineer battalion was entirely because of the future favor of the engineer battalion.
, in the near future, the engineer battalion will be reorganized into a tank brigade or even an aviation brigade.
In the future, Mei Jiuling will command armored groups and aviation groups on the battlefield. When the time comes, he will be jealous of Huang Shouxin and He Shuya.
(Dividing line)
When the forward of the 10th Division, the 40th Infantry Regiment, was fighting Huang Shouxin's 3rd Battalion at Houtou Ridge, Xiaozhu Yinan's division headquarters had also entered the foot of Fotiao Cliff, following Xiaozhu
Yinan's division headquarters arrived at the foot of Fotiao Cliff together with the 10th Engineer Regiment, the 10th Heavy Troops Regiment and the 10th Field Artillery Regiment.
However, only two brigades from the 10th Field Artillery Regiment came.
In the last battle at Shaqiaogang, the field artillery regiment lost one-third of its artillery.
Coupled with the rugged mountain roads, one of the 105-caliber field artillery brigade stayed at Heifengkou.
The march order of the 10th Division is a regular sequence, with Okada Tsumugi's 8th Brigade in the front, Setani Kei's 33rd Brigade in the back, and Yoshio Ino's division headquarters and several directly affiliated brigades.
Then walk in the middle. This marching sequence is commonly known as the burden formation or the porter formation. It is like a porter blocking the load, which is very vivid.
However, Kei Setani's 33rd Brigade has only one Infantry Regiment 63 left, and the other Infantry Regiment, the 10th Infantry Regiment, has been completely wiped out by the independent regiment at Shaqiao Gang.
Moreover, the regiment flag has also been surrendered, so the establishment has not been restored until now, even if there are additional troops, the establishment cannot be restored.
As he was walking, Xiaozhu Yinan suddenly stopped, looked at the high cliff on the right side of the mountain road, and asked the dike who was walking behind him: "If the dike is not covered with mulberry, where are we?"
Tsubuzagui took the map from a staff officer behind him, looked at it for a moment and then replied: "Division commander, we should be at Buddha Jumping Cliff."
"Buddha jumped off the cliff?" Xiaozhu Yinan frowned and said, "Why do you need such a place name? Did any Buddhists jump off the cliff here?"
"Well." Tsubujiagui shook his head and said, "I'm afraid we have to ask the Chinese."
"Chinese?" Xiaozhu Yinan immediately remembered that he really brought Chinese with him this time, and immediately said, "Call Wang Sang over and ask him why this place is called Buddha Jumping over the Cliff?"
Wang Sang in Xiaozhu Yinan's mouth is Wang Yi. Wang Yi's Pucheng Guard Brigade and Goujiro Jiro's Pucheng Gendarmerie were temporarily incorporated into the 10th Division this time and entered Qingfeng Mountain together.
.
Di Bujiagui immediately ordered a staff officer to call Wang Yi, and Wang Yi arrived soon.
"Your Excellency, General." Wang Yi nodded and bowed, saying with an apologetic smile on his face, "What did you call me?"
The little piggy man couldn't understand Chinese, so he immediately turned his attention to the special forces accompanying him.
When Oluhara Junsi's special operations brigade recruits soldiers, one of the criteria is that they can speak Chinese. These special forces soldiers originally knew a little Chinese. After entering the Oluhara special operations brigade, they underwent intensive training for more than half a year, so every one of them can speak Chinese.
I already spoke it well enough to serve as a temporary translator.
After listening to the translation by the special forces, Xiaozhu Yinan pointed to the high cliff on the roadside and asked: "Why is this place called Buddha Leaping Cliff?"
"Buddha jumped off the cliff?" Wang Yi was a little confused. Damn it, I don't know why it was called Buddha jumped off the cliff. Anyway, the elders called it that, but he definitely couldn't say this. If he did, he would be dead.
Wang Yi was so anxious that he pulled his hair out. What should he do now?
But this traitor has a quick wit, and when he gets anxious, he actually comes up with a way to say something.
"Your Majesty General, have you seen the cave on the cliff?" Wang Yi pointed to the cave on the high cliff on the right, which is dozens of meters high from the ground, and said, "There is an old legend that the Buddha Sakyamuni once stayed in this cave.
After practicing Buddhism, he jumped off a cliff and ascended to heaven, so this place is called Buddha Jumping off a Cliff."
"Sodai Shina." Xiaozhu Yoshio nodded, clasped his palms together, and bowed three times to the cave on the Buddha's jumping cliff. Japan is also a Buddhist country, and Xiaozhu Yoshio himself is a devout Buddhist.
It's just that after Buddhism spread to Japan, the teachings have been changed into a mess, and it has long lost its original appearance.
After being interrupted like this by Wang Yi, he had passed the Buddha Leaping Cliff before he knew it.
In addition, the terrain of Buddha Leaping Cliff is indeed not dangerous. Xiaozhu Yinan never thought of leaving an army to protect him behind Buddha Leaping Cliff. However, Xiaozhu Yinan did not know that there was a secret hidden under Buddha Leaping Cliff.
river.
The army had just passed Fotiao Cliff when a telegram came from the Second Army Headquarters.
The Chief of Staff of the 10th Division, Fuki Tsutsumi, knew that Yoshio Onozu had been thinking about whether Abe's resolute 3rd team could successfully regain the flag of the 10th Infantry Regiment, so after receiving the command from the commander of the 2nd Army
After receiving the telegram from the Ministry, I immediately caught up and reported it to Xiaozhu Yinan.
"Division Commander, the Second Army Headquarters just sent an urgent message. Abe's resolute Third Team has successfully recaptured the regiment flag of the 10th Infantry Regiment and is now retreating towards the sky."
"Nani?" Xiaozhu Yinan said happily after hearing this, "Did you get the flag of the 10th Infantry Regiment back?"
Abe's resolute third team has recaptured the flag of the 10th Infantry Regiment, which is undoubtedly great news for Xiaozhu Yoshio and even the entire 10th Division.
Because this means that the 10th Infantry Regiment does not need to abolish its establishment, it also means that the 10th Infantry Division will not become the first permanent division with a three-unit system, and it also means that the little piggy boy will not become the first three-unit system.
As the division commander of the permanent division, Xiaozhu Yinan's heart had always been in suspense before, but now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Hai." Tebuza Gui paused and said, "But division commander, there is still bad news. Although Abe's strong third team recaptured the flag of the 10th Infantry Regiment, it was entangled by Xu Rui's fangs.
They are now retreating toward the sky, and they don’t know whether they will be able to escape in the end.”
"A line of sky?" Xiaozhu Yinan asked, "Is it in our direction?"
"No." Di Bujiagui shook his head and said, "Damei Mountain is composed of two major mountain systems. The one on our side is called Qingfengling, and the one to the west is called Qingniu Ridge. The line of sky is a pass on Qingniu Ridge. It is said that the terrain is relatively
The Black Wind Pass is even more dangerous."
"Really?" Xiaozhu Yinan frowned and said, "To put it this way, the situation of Abe's team is really not good. Immediately call His Highness the Prince and ask him to give Abe an order immediately. If the 10th Infantry Regiment cannot be united,
If the military flag of the regiment is brought back, it must be burned and the flag must not fall into the hands of the independent regiment again."
