Chapter 167 Forced to Rest
Without the obstruction of Lengshuigou, the expeditionary army continued to march. After a difficult journey, about 20 people of the 4th Army crossed Gaoligong Mountain and came to a place not far from Tongbo.

However, encirclement is not an easy task.

Although Tongcymbal is only a small town, its geographical location is very special.

Around the cymbals, there are four mountains and one river.

One River does not refer to the Nu River, but the Pingli River.

The four mountains refer to Gaoligong Mountain, Laifeng Mountain, Feifeng Mountain and Baofeng Mountain.

The closest to the cymbals is Laifeng Mountain.

This mountain is actually not high, the highest point is only more than 200 meters, but it can overlook the whole copper cymbal from above.

To attack the cymbals, the surrounding hills and highlands must be removed one by one.

Otherwise, even if you capture the cymbals, you will always face the artillery fire from the Japanese army on the surrounding hills.

The army arrived at the designated place one after another, and when they were about to encircle the cymbals, Dai Anlan received a strange order from the headquarters to let the 200th Division rest and rectify.

The deputy division commander Zhen Youcai had just returned from the general headquarters. He was specially transferred from above to serve as division commander Dai's partner for this expedition.

Zhen Youcai is tall and thin, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. It is said that he is a talented student who has returned from studying abroad. He is about 35 years old.

When Gao Fei saw him, he saluted immediately.

Zhen Youcai smiled slightly: "I've heard about your name a long time ago. The advance team dared to fight and fight hard. You fought very well in the battle of Nantianmen!"

"Assistant teacher, thank you." Zhen Youcai's tone was very sincere, not like a hypocritical politeness, and Gao Fei was a little embarrassed to be praised.

Dai Anlan poured a cup of tea and said, "These days you haven't come, I've been very busy."

Zhen Youcai was not polite, he took a teacup and drank it, the water was probably too hot and burned his tongue: "Pfft~! Seagulls... you are simply too hateful."

Dai Anlan laughed happily: "This is my water glass. Every time you come here, you grab my water to drink. If you don't teach you a lesson, you will never remember it."

Zhen Youcai rolled his eyes: "From now on, we'll eat in the same pot. What's yours is mine, so don't be polite to me."

"You, you, I have the same temper as you before going abroad."

"Okay, it's time to get down to business. I just came from the headquarters. I've heard about the encirclement of Tongba. Why did the 200th Division suddenly rest?"

Dai Anlan said: "I probably already guessed the reason. The first two times, our division played very well, but some people were jealous and felt uncomfortable. Therefore, the 200th division was squeezed out by all the divisions."

"Those people are so full that they have nothing to do. That's fine. There are still a lot of battles ahead. The 200th Division will take this opportunity to take a good rest. However, what should I do next as a dignified deputy division commander?"

"Eat, sleep, play. Don't you like to play Pai Gow? You can play a game or two with them. Be careful, they are all masters, and you will only lose your pants if you lose."

Zhen Youcai's eyes lit up: "The more expert you are, the more fun it will be. If your opponent is too stupid, it will be boring."

As he spoke, he waved and signaled Gao Fei and a few people around him to go and play with him.

Gao Fei and Meng Fanle looked at each other, it's over, isn't it obvious that they are going to lose money, this is the newly appointed deputy teacher, who dares to win his money?
While the 200th division was resting, Yu division had already launched an attack on Laifengshan.

According to the detected information, the 148th Regiment of the Japanese Army was stationed on the hills around the copper cymbal.

Including the Japanese army in Tongba City, there are a total of about 3000 to 20 people, and the 4th Army has more than 200 people, which has ten times more troops than the enemy. According to the plan, even if the [-]th Division does not join the regiment, they can still take it. Highlands around the lower cymbals.

However, it was such a small visit to Fengshan that caused Master Yu to suffer a lot.

A few days later, Feifeng Mountain and Baofeng Mountain were captured one after another, but Laifeng Mountain was like a stubborn stone, no matter how Master Yu gnawed it, it would not move.

This is related to the geographical location of Laifeng Mountain.When the copper cymbals were first built, they were built against the mountains, and the closest one was Laifeng Mountain.

Zangzhong Kangmei not only built very strong fortifications in Tongcymbal City, but also dug out countless trenches and tunnels on Laifeng Mountain, which can be connected with Tongcymbal to support each other and provide weapons and ammunition.

Master Yu didn't understand this situation, and thought that coming to Fengshan was just a Japanese squad, but in fact they were facing the entire 148th Regiment!

The soldiers who charged up fell one after another in a pool of blood.

Long Wenwen withdrew back with his soldiers. His arm was accidentally shot. It was just a bruise, not a bone, which had already been bandaged.

Yu Xiaoqing asked blankly, "How many people are left in your regiment?"

"There are only a dozen people left."

Since the battle of Lengshuigou, Yu Xiaoqing also removed 300 people from the Sichuan Army to supplement the main force, so the current Sichuan Army is an empty shell, and Long Wenwen is a bare-bones regiment leader.

At present, with the loss of the main regiment, the casualties of the Yu division have approached more than 1000 people.

This number made Yu Xiaoqing feel heavier and heavier.

Tang Ji felt that his cleverness was mistaken by his cleverness. He deliberately played a wave of cleverness and robbed the unremarkable Laifengshan, but he didn't expect that this was the most difficult bone to crack.

"Nephew Yu, we can't go on like this. The enemy's firepower is too fierce, and Master Yu's loss is too great."

Why didn't Yu Xiaoqing know that it's okay if he can't take down Gunlongpo, and he can bear it if he can't take down Lengshuigou, but now he can't even take down a small Laifengshan, so where will he put his face in the future?

Could it be that master Yu who admits that he can fight well has been blown out before?

No, can't!

"Li Bing, Yu Zhi, the two of you bring the secret service battalion and the guard company, plus the troops from the Sichuan Army, and press them all up for me. I don't believe you won't be able to take down this mountain!"

Li Bing and Yu Zhi looked at each other, the teacher seat was becoming less and less calm now, and had lost the most basic judgment ability due to setbacks.

Li Bing carefully persuaded: "Master, after attacking for so long, the firepower on Laifeng Mountain is still so fierce, and there are still so many bullets from heavy machine guns and small hand cannons. There must be something wrong with it."

Yu Zhi also persuaded: "Yes, Master, our cannons can't be transported because of Gaoligong Mountain. Without the suppression of artillery fire, the casualties will be too great if we attack by force!"

Yu Xiaoqing's eyes had turned red, but he still kept the habit of sleeping only four hours a day.

The torture of the past few days almost made his spirit close to collapse. Coupled with the severe lack of sleep, his eyes went dark, and he staggered and almost fell.

Li Bing and Yu Zhi rushed forward to support him.

Long Wenwen speculated: "This mountain is next to Tongba, there must be a secret road leading to the city, so the little devil can quickly provide ammunition supplies and personnel support. This mountain is not just a small team, but Tongba The entire regiment!"

Yu Xiaoqing struggled and wanted to stand up, when she saw a figure walking in from the outside in a trance.

The messenger said: "Secretary, Commander Dai of the 200th Division is here."

Dai Anlan stepped forward with his military boots.

Yu Xiaoqing simply sat on the ground and took a deep breath, which cleared his mind a little: "Mr. Dai, is this here to see my joke?"

Dai Anlan shook her head: "After all, it is a friendly army. Seeing the soldiers bleed and die on the battlefield makes me feel uncomfortable. Although the two of us have never confronted each other, facing the enemy and closing the door, we They are all brothers, I really can’t bear to watch these few days, and I have nothing to do, so I just come and have a look.”

Tang Ji quickly pulled up Yu Xiaoqing who was sitting on the ground, and said: "Mr. Dai, the 200th division has made meritorious service twice in a row. If you eat meat, you should let the other divisions have a sip of soup, right? What are you doing?" All the good things have been taken care of, so what will the headquarters think of our Master Yu?"

Dai Anlan said bluntly: "Deputy Master Tang, you are treating the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. I am here this time, and I have absolutely no intention of asking your Master Yu to give up the main attack position, let alone any idea of ​​grabbing credit. The military department has already formulated a battle plan, let the 200th division rest, then my 200th division will not participate in the battle."

He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Tang Ji, and lit one himself: "I came here just to give you some suggestions. I have already contacted the 14th Air Brigade of the allies, and they will Come to support your attack."

"This aviation brigade claims to be a fortress in the sky, and the bombs they carry are the latest researched heavy bombs, which are several times more powerful than the previous bombs. If they drop a few tons, it is likely that the entire mountain of Laifeng Mountain will be leveled. Already!"

"My words are finished, Master Yu is lucky, there is no need to send it away."

Dai Anlan waved his hand and left.

Yu Xiaoqing was stunned for a while, and then said: "Order all the personnel of Division Yu to rest and wait for the bombing by the Allied planes, and immediately attack the hill. The specific attack method is up to you, as long as it can reduce casualties."

He staggered back to his tent, collapsed and fell asleep.

Li Bing and Yu Zhi looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't dare to disturb, they put a blanket on their bodies, and tiptoed out.

Then study and prepare the next attack plan with Long Wenwen.
