My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 182 The Detective Duo

"Captain, it's ready."

At night, on the Jiqipo position.Krupp pulled out all the large-caliber artillery from the artillery battalion, and all the muzzles were aimed at the Japanese positions on the west bank.

"The weather is good tonight, you want to shoot?" Krupp asked blankly.

Liao Mingyu ignored him, just lying in the fortifications and looking at the dark opposite bank, thinking about something in his heart.

"Team leader? Are you going to bombard those bums today? Little Japan doesn't dare to fight back now." Li Liansheng was also a little eager to try.

The 4 155 howitzers plus 6 Krupp 105 howitzers gave him great confidence. During this period of time, the artillery battalion had the upper hand during the confrontation with the Japanese.

The few remaining 105mm artillery and the few 75mm field guns left by the devils could not suppress them at all.

After a period of time, Takeuchi Lianshan ordered to stop this meaningless bombardment. He ordered all Japanese artillery not to fire back if it was not necessary, in order to save the few shells.

The Japanese are out of money, and their supplies are gradually thinning out.

The Sichuan Army didn't care about this. Anyway, the shells were enough to blast him ten or twenty rounds a day. While venting their anger, it would also make the melon artillerymen more familiar with the operation of the artillery, and it was right to use the Japanese as targets for training.

For this reason, the growth of the artillery battalion is huge. The original artillery battalion of 500 people has also increased to nearly 1000 people, and the reserve artillery takes turns to practice.

An air defense company was also specially added, with Li Jie of the third battalion as the company commander, temporarily using M2 heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft tripods as the air defense force.

Although 10 heavy artillery pieces are a bit shabby for them now, as long as there are enough artillery pieces and tractors behind them, the artillery battalion can be expanded to the artillery regiment anytime and anywhere.

"The little devil is starting to go downhill, but today I won't shoot, I will give you two a task."

Liao Mingyu put down the binoculars and said solemnly: "From now on, I want you to arrange people to keep an eye on the situation on the opposite bank 24 hours a day. If you find a signal reflecting on the mirror or an abnormal firefight, immediately bombard the position on the opposite bank with full firepower, and at the same time cover the abnormal point with smoke grenades. "

The two of Krupp looked at each other, completely unclear why the head of the regiment gave such an order.

"Remember, you must always pay attention to the situation on the other side. The safety of Deputy Captain Long and the others is in your hands!"

……

The next day, it was another foggy morning, and the fog filled the entire mountain.The defenders on both sides of the Nujiang River have become accustomed to this kind of weather.

The Japanese troops on the west bank were doing routine patrols near Nantianmen Mountain as usual.In the bushes on the left side of the front line of defense, a cluster of weeds and dead leaves that were still shaking slightly did not move for a moment.

The patrol team on the path gradually moved away, and two figures covered with branches and weeds gradually appeared.

They were not fast, using the surrounding bushes and rocks as cover to slowly move forward.

"It's annoying, it's less than 80 meters, please move slower."

"Um…"

These two figures were Long Wenwen and Meng Fanle who stayed on the west bank!
That day they hid in Longling Mountain together with Master Shihang and hid in the guerrilla base in the mountain for a whole day.

There are not only guerrilla members on the mountain, but also some people from neighboring villages who live there. They have built wooden huts and planted fields on the limited open space.

Due to the relatively long distance and being in the depths of the mountains, the Japanese wanted to encircle and suppress, but they were beyond their reach. The entire base area was like a paradise, and it also attracted many panic-stricken people in the mountains to seek asylum.

Last night, led by Master Shihang and another guerrilla, the four of Long Wenwen came out from the mountain, and under the cover of night, they quietly reached the foot of Nantianmen Mountain.

Master Shihang and Zhang Liu kept a distance of about 300 meters behind, and were ready to support Long Wenwen and the others in case of emergencies.

But everyone is praying in their hearts that this kind of situation will never happen. They have already penetrated into the enemy's hinterland. If they are found out, nine lives are not enough to pay.

The crawling distance can only be calculated in centimeters. They are like a stone or a weed, and they dare not make a sound even if they are bitten by mosquitoes and ants.

The patrol team walking back and forth was just a few meters away on the small road. They seemed to have forgotten the time, the distance, and even their own existence.Just lying motionless in the grass, taking advantage of the fleeting opportunity to move forward a few centimeters.

Long Wenwen stared vigilantly ahead to estimate the time of the patrol, while Meng Fanle was gritting his teeth in cold sweat.

His arms and legs were already sore and numb after keeping the prostrate position for a long time.But even so, he didn't dare to make any changes, he could only keep telling himself in his heart: I don't exist, I don't exist...

It took Long Wenwen and his wife 4 hours to climb less than 50 meters forward at this position. Fortunately, they had already passed the most dangerous path, and now they were still a few meters away from the mountain wall in front of them.

Not far away is a group of fortifications of the Japanese army. Through the Cao Conglong article, you can even see the faces of the few Japanese soldiers lying on the sandbags.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Just as Long Wenwen was about to continue crawling forward, he was startled by the sound of rapid shooting. He immediately pressed his head to the ground, and his protruding palms were stuck firmly in the soil, not daring to move any more.

"これはどちらもヒットしませんでした. Idiot かだ!"

"Ha ha!"

It turned out that a few little devils were boringly practicing their guns against the big tree in front of them in the trench. They laughed at the Japanese soldiers who had just fired for not even hitting such an obvious target.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Long Wenwen took this opportunity to move forward quickly, and the two finally climbed to the bottom of the mountain wall. The bushes on the slope just above provided them with an excellent hiding place.

The two gathered their minds together, this was the first time in several months that they were so close to Nantianmen, and the countless fortifications were just tens of meters away.

Long Wenwen took out the map from his body and handed it to Meng Fan, who picked up a single-tube high-power observation mirror and started to inspect the front.

"The little devil is crazy, the bunkers are so densely built. Record... the first line of defense, [-] and [-] degrees, and six [-] gun nests."

Meng got annoyed and quickly spread out the map, marking the location Long Wenwen mentioned.

"The echelon positions are all connected, with a half-circle defense, near the river, light machine guns and grenades can be maneuvered at any time. There are also three-person and two-person positions, damn...too many to count." Long Wenwen lowered his voice and continued to report I saw the Japanese army's defense situation.

Meng Fanyue suddenly stopped what he was doing, frowned and compared the map for a while, then asked in a low voice uncertainly: "Six heavy machine guns with such a small shooting range?"

Long Wenwen put down the observation glass and gave him a white look: "That old devil in Takeuchi dug through the whole mountain, why can't he put six heavy machine guns."

"Semi-circular wing trenches, one at [-], [-], and [-] degrees. [-] looks like a bunker, and it looks like a false target. Hey, help me see." Long Wenwen put the binoculars on Pass it to Meng trouble.

Meng Fan took it over and took a closer look, and thought about it based on experience in his head: "The machine guns and infantry guns are all in, it's a mobile fort."

"Look at [-] in a while, the two cannons rely heavily on each other, Twin Forts!" Meng Anfan said and handed the telescope back, but his hands trembled uncontrollably due to the shock in his heart.

"Why are your hands shaking? Are you afraid?" Long Wenwen said.

"I was just thinking, this is still the first line of defense. If we attack head-on, I'm afraid the entire Sichuan army will be wiped out." Meng Fanyou said with lingering fear.

What he said is the fact that every firepower point in Nantianmen is spewing projectiles at a rate of hundreds of rounds per minute. In the frenzied firepower and dense shooting range, no matter how sophisticated weapons you have in your hand, you don’t have to pay a few times. The price is simply not allowed to set foot on the West Bank.

"That's why we're here."

Long Wenwen pointed the telescope at the sacred tree on the top of the mountain, and he was thinking about something in his heart.

"It's annoying, believe it or not, there is definitely a tunnel leading to the tree fort on the top of the mountain!"
