under fire

Chapter 104 The choice of the target
Niujia Village.

Guizi Shao Zuo was slightly injured, and was attacked by the Eighth Route Army last night. Although the loss was not large, Xiao Zuo was very angry.

The main reason is that Eighth Road actually touched the brigade headquarters and threw a grenade, and a lieutenant died. After a while, the Shao Zuo showed a ferocious face, looking at the corpse of the devil lieutenant on the ground, but he couldn't find a commoner alive to vent his anger. With a bruised nose and swollen face after being slapped, he was bowing his head in apology.

"Report, urgent telegram from headquarters." The radio soldier next to him handed over a telegram without getting up.

A lieutenant who was dizzy from the beating quickly took the telegram and presented it to the major.

Shao Zuo didn't take it, and after cursing at the top of his voice, he carefully looked at the telegram in his hand.

It was the commander of the North China First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu, who issued a death order, demanding that the main force attacking from the east immediately encircle the Eighth Route Army Division headquarters at all costs. Another telegram was sent by the friendly army from the west. It was already in contact with the Eighth Road, but was blocked by the Eighth Road again under a cliff. The location was only more than ten miles away from the division of the Eighth Road.

Major felt that anger could not solve the problem: "Map."

With a clatter, the map was unfolded on the table again by the assistant. The major rubbed his hot palms, looked at the watch on his hand, stared at the map with a gloomy expression, and muttered: "It's five o'clock in the morning, and there is still an hour before dawn. Let's go now." On the main road, people from the [-]th Division are blocked in front, and those stupid pigs can't get through. It seems useless for us to go there except to add to the traffic.

Then, you can only take the small road. After walking for about four hours, you can reach the same cliff section. There are also eight roads ahead. There is still a chance, they don't have the ability to intercept themselves, but there are too many places to ambush on the eighth route. If they also occupy the terrain advantage, the task of encircling this time is still a fart! "

The assistant listened to the major's muttering, thought for a while, and felt that it would be impolite for the major to speak alone, so he quickly comforted the major with birdsong: "At least we know that the second division in the west will not be able to pass half of them. Then, we are only one big team, even if we can't make it through, it doesn't seem to be ashamed."

"Stupid pig, if you say this, you are disgraceful to the empire. There is no time now! We have wasted the whole night here, order the headquarters brigade to set off immediately, hurry up, and must arrive here before ten o'clock in the morning." Major Zuo pointed Where the cliff is marked on the map.

The lieutenants surrounding the major stood at attention one by one to take orders, and the devil's messengers sent a report to the headquarters again. After asking for instructions, they confirmed the marching route, and the lieutenants began to leave the command post in a hurry, rushing to their respective teams.

...

Commander Lu led the troops to the north and walked to the east side of the division headquarters. Although there were not many troops, it would not be a problem to occupy the position in the suspension first and block these devils.

It suddenly occurred to me that Xu Xiao's brother, that Section Chief Xu, died there. It was simply a small path opened in the middle of the cliff in the middle of the mountain. Generally, no one would like to walk it, because it was too dangerous.

Last night, there was a lot of disturbance in the attack on the devils. According to a report from a soldier who escaped, the squad leader of the vanguard touched the headquarters of the devils before the battle ended. As for the specific results of the battle, I don’t know. Anyway, the devils stayed up all night and delayed the devil’s mission. It has been completed, and head Lu is not satisfied with this.

"Report, the devils have already dispatched, and they are taking the east path." A sentinel came to report.

"Okay, just wait for these devils, and immediately find a way to notify the supplementary regiment, so that they stop coming for reinforcements immediately, and find a place to set up an ambush to the south, and we must stop the reinforcements behind these devils." Lu Lu The head of the group gave Xiao Bing a firm order.

Two female soldiers were lying in the grass next to the temporary regiment headquarters in their clothes, sleeping soundly. The last time I fought with the regiment leader, I found that the regiment leader didn't seem to be very scary. He brought back the news of the Ninth Company. There are "two" companies with a lot of troops.

"Old Qin, if Jiulian can get here first, you should know this place. If the devil wants to pass that cliff, hehe, it is absolutely impossible for the cliff with only one road. Although there are not many people in Jiulian , but another company's 'friendly army' came, there is no problem with its strength, and the Ninth Company has no shortage of ammunition, but I don't know if there are devils entering the mountain from the west, and that is the defense zone of the Model Regiment."

There is no radio station here, and if you want to know some information, you have to do errands.

Lao Qin and Lao Meng were smoking cigarettes, choking to tears, and neither of them said a word to the leader's question.

Head Lu continued: "If the devils want to attack the division headquarters, both roads can be blocked now. The only loophole is that if the devils attack from the west of Licheng, then we just need to see if the model regiment can stop it. There are also natural dangers, and they should not be able to get through, the only variable now is that the devils will advance to the team."

"Commander, according to what you said, if the devils take the first step to occupy the division headquarters, blocking our way to the north, and crowding at both ends, then we will only have to jump off the cliff!" Lao Meng also understood the current situation. In the face of the situation, he finally started to say something, if he was bored all the time, it didn't seem to be the same thing.

Old Qin added: "If we join the supplementary regiment and directly defend the division headquarters, wouldn't it be safer?"

"No, we have few people, we can only fight guerrilla with the devils, lead the devils to run in the mountains, find a good place to block the devils in the mountains, so that they can't advance or retreat, there is no food in the mountains, as long as the supplementary regiment cuts off the devils' retreat Hey, I can't starve them to death!" Head Lu made a wishful thinking.

"But can we stop the devils?" Lao Meng had never been to the mountains, let alone the division headquarters, so he didn't know the terrain very well.

"No problem, haha, that place is dangerous, you'll know when you go, the road is in the middle of the cliff, the real one man guards the gate, ten thousand people can't open it, if it's really not possible, we blow up the mountain road, the devil wants to get out of this road If you think about it, there is no way to attack, let alone a regiment, even if there is only one squad, as long as there is enough ammunition, you can defend it. Hehe, he really thought that Taihang Mountain was in the flat ground at the foot of the mountain. Come on, go if you want?" Head Lu feels more and more that the mountains are really good.

"Let's go now, head north immediately, and set up a position first. We have to make the little devil stare at me this time." Captain Lu felt that it was no problem to stop the devil, and only his own regiment with little wealth stayed in the mountain. A few brigades and three or five regiments had already gone to the plains, fighting fiercely with the devils.

Just myself, the head of the regiment who has never been full, tossing around in the mountains all day, basically no one is optimistic about the independent regiment. To put it bluntly, he doesn't even have a number. It must be a logical thing to get out of the mountains with a number and enter the plains to fight guerrillas with the devils.
