The Japanese and puppet army station in Guanshan Town.
As soon as the colonel entered the tent where the headquarters was located, a captain followed him in.
"Sir, something happened over there in the blockade ditch."
"Captain Xiao Lin of the Fourth Squadron just sent someone back to report that the five-kilometer blockade ditch he was responsible for was damaged by at least two kilometers last night."
"Several other squadron leaders sent people back one after another to report that about two kilometers of the blockade ditch they were responsible for had been destroyed, and all the earth used to build the blockade wall was backfilled into the blockade trench. This is equivalent to us having to dig out these ten kilometers again during the day.
Seal the trench."
Colonel's face suddenly darkened: "It must have been done by the garrison.
"Tell several squadron leaders that the blockade ditch and blockade wall must be built as soon as possible. They are as important as our strongholds here, and they are the trump card against the garrison in the future."
The chief of staff of the regiment on the side reminded: "What should we do with the Eighth Route Army that destroyed the blockade ditch?"
"We dig during the day and they backfill at night. If we keep going like this, the trench will never be repaired properly."
"And we can't always support those people."
"Although they don't have to eat very well, there are too many people, which still puts a huge pressure on our logistics."
Colonel replied with a murderous look on his face: "Don't worry, I have a way to deal with these Eighth Route Army troops."
"Tonight I will let them taste the power of the blockade trench and let them know that the cost of destroying the blockade trench is something they cannot afford."
The Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan, including the lieutenant general, chief of staff, and intelligence section chief, all stood guard next to the sand table with anxious expressions on their faces.
An hour ago, the intelligence section chief had reported the heavy artillery battalion's hiding place before dawn to the corps commander.
Half an hour ago, nine aircraft from a squadron of the aviation force left the airport, loaded with ammunition and flew to the heavy artillery battalion's hiding spot.
"Sir, if nothing unexpected happens, the aircraft fleet will reach the sky above the heavy artillery battalion of the garrison in half an hour." The chief of staff reminded after looking at the time.
The military commander nodded and turned his attention to the intelligence section chief: "Do you have any new news over there?"
The head of the intelligence section shook his head and replied: "Sir, don't worry. I have handed over my humble duty to my subordinates. As long as there is any information about the heavy artillery battalion, it will be sent here as soon as possible."
"It's daybreak now. In order to avoid exposing the target, the artillery equipped by the heavy artillery battalion should be hidden and not move again. And even if they sense the danger now and want to move to a new place, it will be too late.
"
"Yo Xi!" The army commander also showed an expression of approval on his face.
Then he said: "Immediately give an order to your people: after the aviation troops arrive on the battlefield, they must send out signal smoke at all costs, guide the fleet to carry out precise bombing of the heavy artillery battalion, and completely destroy this artillery unit."
Gangziling, the specific hiding place of the heavy artillery battalion.
With the heavy artillery battalion's sixteen artillery pieces as the center, and surrounded by soldiers from the heavy artillery battalion and the mobile battalion, it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as five steps, one post, ten steps, and one sentry. The security was very tight.
If intelligence personnel hadn't been following him all the way, no one would have thought that the treasure of the garrison was hidden in this forest.
"Report..." The mobile battalion correspondent found Yuan Qingfeng who was making arrangements and reported with a serious face.
"Captain Yuan, our battalion commander asked me to inform you that the mobile battalion killed two agents during patrol and found signal smoke from them."
"The heavy artillery battalion has probably been exposed!"
"It's signal smoke!" Yuan Qingfeng took what the correspondent handed over, and his expression suddenly became embarrassed.
"And it's also the signal smoke used by the little devils to guide the planes to bomb."
The instructor stood up at that time and said anxiously: "Batalion Commander, I will give the order to the troops now. We will move and leave here immediately."
Yuan Qingfeng took a look at the time first, shook his head and said in denial: "It's too late."
"If the Japanese army wants to bomb us with planes, the fleet of planes must be on their way over, and they may be able to reach us in ten or twenty minutes."
"To move now is to serve as a living target for them."
The instructor was anxious: "What should we do?"
"This place has been exposed. If we continue to hide here, we will definitely become a living target."
"That's not necessarily the case." Yuan Qingfeng forced himself to calm down and answered with a serious face.
"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank the regiment commander for allowing us to be prepared and disperse the artillery as much as possible to prevent the heavy artillery battalion from being overwhelmed."
"We dispersed all the artillery just now. Even if the little devils stare at this place and explode, it is impossible to blow up all the sixteen heavy artillery pieces."
"This is not enough. We ordered the troops to disperse the artillery shells we carry as much as possible to prevent too many shells from exploding during aircraft bombing."
"If I remember correctly, our heavy artillery battalion also has the kind of signal smoke that the mobile battalion collected from the agents."
"Yes." The instructor knew the background of the heavy artillery battalion best and answered without thinking.
"They were all captured by the main force, and the regiment headquarters gave them to us for training."
Yuan Qingfeng immediately ordered: "Pull out the guards one by one, bring all the signal cigarettes, and use the squad as a unit to disperse and hide in the area 500 meters east of us."
"If there really is a swarm coming to bomb us, they will put up signal smoke there to mislead the Japanese swarm to bomb us."
"Finally, and most importantly, notify the mobile battalion to conduct a dragnet search around us immediately."
"If the Japanese army has sent a fleet of planes to bomb us, there must be more than one spy lurking around us. Find them one by one and stop them from setting off signal smoke."
"After the fleet arrived, all the troops dispersed and stared around."
"As soon as there is signal smoke rising nearby, kill it immediately."
"We have less signal smoke here, and there is more signal smoke five hundred meters to the east. The Japs will naturally shift their bombing focus there, and then we will be safe."
"Weng buzz..."
In less than twenty minutes, a faint roar came from the edge of the sky.
The sound became louder and louder, and not long after, nine black dots came into everyone's field of vision, and then slowly turned into nine silver-white airplanes.
After reaching everyone's head, the nine planes stopped leaving and began to hover at low altitude above the fighting head, searching for bombing targets.
Yuan Qingfeng's face became serious again: "The Japanese fleet is here for us. Everyone, be prepared for air defense."
"Don't be messy. As long as you do as I say, the losses of the heavy artillery battalion will be minimized."
"Our own signal smoke is rising." the instructor suddenly shouted.
Five hundred meters to the east, three streams of red smoke emerged from the forest, which looked particularly dazzling.
In a few seconds, three strands of red smoke turned into more than a dozen strands.
The planes cruising above everyone were like hungry wolves smelling blood, and three planes rushed towards them on the spot.
"No, there's signal smoke coming over there from the first company." The observation post suddenly shouted.
"Da da da..." Within a few seconds, a series of gunshots came over, and the rising smoke stopped, and then slowly dissipated in the treetops.
Seeing that there were still six planes overhead, Yuan Qingfeng breathed a long sigh of relief: "Fortunately, we weren't targeted by the little devil in the sky."
"Tell comrades, my eyes were widened. When I found that the signal smoke was not released by ourselves, we must put it out immediately."
