my bright sword career

Chapter 9 Gao Hongming's Real Purpose
After leaving the defense area of ​​the 358th Regiment, Gao Hongming led the militia to the vicinity of Cangyun Ridge very quickly.

At this time, the sound of gunfire on the mountain was already clearly audible, and the explosion of shells could be heard from time to time.

After Gao Hongming ordered the troops to stop advancing, he took out his binoculars and looked towards the top of the mountain.

Although Cangyun Ridge is called Ridge, there are actually three hills, and the gunshots came from those three hills.

From the binoculars, Gao Hongming could clearly see a Japanese soldier in grass-yellow military uniform continuously attacking the Eighth Route Army on the three hilltops.

However, because they were attacking from above, and the Eighth Route Army had planted landmines on the hillside, even though the Japanese army was far superior to the Eighth Route Army in terms of numbers and weapons and equipment, they fought extremely hard. back.

Seeing this, Gao Hongming admired Li Yunlong who commanded the battle.

The head of this bamboo craftsman who has never been to a military academy for a day can lead an army that is at a disadvantage in terms of strength and weapons to defeat the Sakata Regiment, and even destroy Sakata's headquarters to break through from the front. command ability, but also have a keen sense of the battlefield.

But this can only be said to be an extraordinary talent, and most people are not envious even if they are envious.

"Sir... What are we going to do now?" Wu Chengfeng came to him at some point and asked in a low voice.

"No hurry, now is not the time." Gao Hongming, who knew the process and direction of this battle, shook his head, "We only have this family background, we can't expose it rashly. You go tell the brothers below, no one will be allowed without my order." Shoot at will, and those who violate the order will enforce battlefield discipline!"

"Yes!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Hongming lay down again and raised his binoculars to start searching carefully.

After a while, his eyes finally locked on a small hill.

"Finally let me find you."

Under the telescope, Gao Hongming finally showed a smile on his face.

In his telescope, there is an inconspicuous hill, which at first glance is no different from the surrounding scenery, but the seven or eight-meter-long pole and the antenna on it behind the hill expose it.

"Nobutsu Sakata, I see where you are going this time?"

After reconfirming the headquarters of Bantian United, Gao Hongming called Xiao Zhankui and pointed to the front.

"Old Xiao, look at the front left, what is about 800 meters away?"

Xiao Zhankui also raised the binoculars to observe twice, hesitated before saying, "This seems to be the devil's headquarters."

"Remove the word seems."

Gao Hongming said without hesitation: "I can be sure that this is definitely the headquarters of the Sakata Regiment of the Japanese Army. Where is our artillery platoon, call Geng Changshun over here."

Soon, a middle-aged man with a dark complexion and a simple and honest smile from time to time came to him. If it weren’t for the German Army’s M36 military uniform and the M35 helmet on his head, no one would contact him with soldiers. stand up.

But Gao Hongming knew that this guy who looked like an old farmer was the artillery platoon leader that Xiao Zhankui dug from the Jinsui Army, and he played with a mortar in one hand.

Seeing the person coming, Gao Hongming handed him the binoculars, pointed at the target and said, "Geng Changshun, come and see, this is the devil's headquarters. Once a fight starts later, can you kill it as soon as possible?"

Geng Changshun looked at it for a while before returning the binoculars to Gao Hongming: "No problem sir, the distance is more than 860 meters, which happens to be the best range for our mortars. The hit rate of the first salvo can reach at least [-]%. The hit rate of a round salvo can reach [-]%."

"That's good!"

Gao Hongming took the binoculars and said with a serious expression: "You have to remember that now we are facing more than 3000 devils. If we can't kill the devil's headquarters in the first place, once we expose our position, what is waiting for us will be You know the consequences very well, so you must not miss it, understand?"

"understand!"

Geng Changshun also suppressed his smile, and his expression became serious, "Don't worry, sir, if I can't get rid of the devil's headquarters later, you can just shoot me old Geng!"

Gao Hongming shook his head: "Why should I shoot you, but I can promise you that if you can take over the devil's headquarters this time, I will reward you with a cow when you go back!"

"Sir, are you serious?" Geng Changshun was overjoyed. His hometown is Liantai County, and his family has been farming for generations, but because his family is poor, he has to pay a high price to rent other people's cattle land every time the farming season comes.

So his greatest wish is to save money to buy a cow so as to reduce the burden on the family. The reward offered by Gao Hongming really touched his heart.

But after he said it, he remembered that the chief of his family was a well-known landlord in Liantai County, and a cow was really nothing to him.

Not to mention Geng Changshun who grinned and went down to prepare, Gao Hongming called Wu Chengfeng and Xiao Zhankui again, pointed at the command post and said to them, "You should pay attention, after Geng Changshun knocks down the devil's command post, you will charge me immediately , we must occupy their headquarters immediately, understand?"

"understand!"

The two of them agreed in unison at first, and then Wu Chengfeng asked puzzledly: "Sir, why do we have to seize the devil's headquarters? Could there be something good inside?"

"Of course there is."

Gao Hongming looked at the two of them and said word by word: "Don't you want to capture a devil's alliance flag?"

"United flag?"

Hearing this, both of them felt that their breathing was a little stagnant.

Although the two have been separated from the army for many years, they still know some common sense about the Japanese army, and of course understand the importance of the joint flag to the Japanese army.

It is important to know that each of the United flags has the autograph of the Emperor of Japan and is personally awarded by the Emperor.

Moreover, the Japanese military regulations clearly stipulate that if the military flag is there, the regiment will be there, and if the flag is dead, the formation of the regiment will be cancelled. Therefore, for the Japanese army, the regiment flag is more important than life.

Thinking that if he can capture a united flag, their militia may become famous all over the country.

Thinking of this, the two looked at each other and nodded vigorously, "Sir... If you can really capture the devil's alliance flag, even if you wipe out the entire team, it will be worth it!"

"Worth a fart!"

Gao Hongming glared at the two of them.

"I want my life and the flag of the alliance. Remember, as long as we get the flag of the alliance to cover the safety of the Eighth Route, we will retreat immediately. Don't fight foolishly with the devils. We have so much capital. Understand?"

"Understood!" The two replied in a positive tone.
