Chapter 229 Mantis Catching Cicadas
During the investigation, several investigation teams occasionally encountered devils, but they often relied on their superior firepower to push back the devils, and then escaped the pursuit with the help of tall and dense grass.

According to Gao Fei's intelligence analysis, the devils had deployed at least 1000 devils in a large open field, which showed that they had no intention of letting the new army pass easily.

Gao Fei told the investigation team to be careful.

Once it is found that nothing can be done, immediately withdraw from the battle, return to the starting point to gather, and wait for the main force of the new army from the rear to arrive.

As for Xi Mian, the situation was similar to what he expected.

Because the terrain is relatively low, there is a lot of water in the meadow, forming a lot of mud ponds.

This greatly restricts the supply of troops, and it is also not suitable for large troops to carry out operations.

Therefore, the devils only occupied some high ground such as mounds, and stationed a small amount of troops for garrison.

The reconnaissance battalion wanted to make a detour from that side, but was blocked by devils on the way.

The devils have built complete fortifications on hills and other places, commanding a commanding position, and their firepower is not weak.

In addition, after the exchange of fire, the devils were supported by artillery. Several shells were fired from the mountains in the south and fell around, causing the fried soil to fly around.

Fortunately, the accuracy of the devil's shelling was not high, and the first round did not cause much damage to the reconnaissance battalion.

Mi Long didn't dare to be negligent, knowing that with the strength at hand, he could completely take down the devil's position.

However, with the threat of devil artillery, even if the mound is captured, it will be difficult to hold it in the end, and if it is not done well, the reconnaissance battalion may suffer heavy losses.

The purpose of their trip was not to seize the enemy's position, but to conduct intelligence and find the location of the Devil's artillery unit.

Therefore, Mi Long did not love to fight with the devils, and retreated a certain distance after the exchange of fire, and broke away from the exchange of fire with the devils.

Then quickly moved west, trying to bypass the devil's line of defense and continue to go south.

The devils naturally refused to let them go, and sent a small team to try to chase them.

This fell right into Milong's trick. After the devil left the position, he was no match for the reconnaissance battalion in Caodianzi.

Mi Long dragged the gang of devils to pursue the soldiers, and fought and left. After entering a more suitable ambush area, Mi Long suddenly led the reconnaissance battalion to kill a returning carbine.

The reconnaissance battalion and the chasing devils had a fierce battle in the meadow.

In the end, more than 30 devils were wiped out in one fell swoop at the cost of four people being injured and two of them killed.

Only a dozen or so devils fled, and fled back to their positions in fright, never daring to continue chasing them.

The two sides exchanged fire at close range in the meadow, and the devil's communication was lagging behind, so it was impossible to contact the gun in time.

Even if the artillery was contacted by the radio later, and Milong led the reconnaissance battalion to move the flanks, the Devils artillery could not provide effective fire support at all.

After killing these devils, Mi Long swaggered and led the reconnaissance battalion to continue to advance in depth to the rear.

After receiving the telegram, Gao Fei was very satisfied, and now Milong can completely take care of himself.

He immediately ordered Milong to pay attention to safety, and continued to conduct a deep investigation into the mountainous area on the south side, trying to find out the location of the devil's artillery as much as possible.

After arranging these things, Gao Fei received a telegram from Tang Shouzhi.

The main force of the Eighth and 89th Regiment of the New Thirty Division has now advanced to the Guijie area, and will soon enter the open field.

At present, the remnants of the devils on both sides of the Burma Road north of Guijie are being cleared, and the engineers are covering the road to repair the road.

Tang Shouzhi asked about the current location of the advance team and the current intelligence collection situation.

Gao Fei used the radio to communicate with Tang Shouzhi and told Tang Shouzhi that the current investigation was going well. He suggested that Tang Shouzhi should not rush to launch an attack on Guijie or let the main force enter the meadow easily.

He asked McLuhan to collect the intelligence detected, and asked the New [-]th Division to choose a location to establish an artillery position in the north of Guijie, and make preparations for the attack in advance.

Moreover, Gao Fei told Tang Shouzhi to hoard as many shells as possible, because the devils built a lot of fortifications around Guijie.

After Tang Shouzhi received the information, he immediately asked the logistics to prepare.

Gao Fei communicated with the military department again.

Sun Liren instructed that the advance team must fight steadily and step by step.

At this time, the news from Milong also came back from the front. The reconnaissance battalion had entered the mountainous area, and signs of devil sentinel activity were found in a certain jungle.

Artillery units currently searching for the Japs.

Gao Fei ordered the troops to temporarily stop advancing and rest on the spot, then turned his head and said to Meng Fanle: "Our army is good at tactics of twists and turns. It seems that the devils have finally learned to be smart and have not forgotten to monitor the rear!"

Meng Fan found a dry place to sit down, took out some biscuits from his backpack, handed one to Gao Fei, and ate one by himself.

"The little devil is not an idiot, and he will learn a lot from a fall. Next, what do you think we should do?"

After Gao Fei thought about it, he said: "It's hard to say at this moment, let's adapt to the situation, first look at the situation detected by Milong, I don't think it is appropriate to startle the snake now, once the devil finds that we have sneaked into the rear area, it will definitely Adjustments will be made immediately, which may affect the next attack of the New Thirty Division!"

About half an hour later, a reconnaissance team led by Nidan withdrew.

"Tuan Zuo, the situation may be different from what you expected before. After entering the mountainous forest just now, I found that the devils stationed a lot of troops in the forest ahead, at least two squadrons or more. The strange thing is, They didn't build a strong position, but they seemed to be passing by to rest!"

Gao Fei and Meng Fanle were slightly surprised. This was a bit beyond their expectations. It stands to reason that Milong in front of these places has already scouted these places. Could it be that these devils came here after Milong left?

The mountainous terrain here is complicated, full of mud and swamps, it is not suitable for large troops to move, the devils shouldn't deploy so many troops here!

You know, the army of the devils is not rich now, there are not many soldiers left in the whole of northern Burma, and it is already doing their best to gather a brigade in Guijie for defense. How could the devils put so many troops behind the mountains? ?
"Are you really not mistaken?" Gao Fei immediately confirmed Mudan.

Nidan immediately patted his chest and said solemnly: "Tuan Zuo, don't you believe me? I personally went to investigate this! The strength of the little devil is at least between [-] and [-], and there are many soldiers in the forest. Tents, and two [-]-step guns!

The strange thing is that the little devil has ambushed so many troops here, but he didn't build many fortifications in the forest, only some simple bunkers! "

After listening to Gao Fei, he thought about it and immediately ordered: "Everyone stay in ambush! Stop all actions, no smoking, no unreasonable noise!"

When Mudan heard this, he immediately asked: "Tuan Zuo, what's the matter? According to the intelligence of the investigation, we can launch a surprise attack with the strength of our advance regiment, and we can kill this group of devils in a few minutes!"

Meng Fan smiled and said: "Nudan, I said you are stupid, but you still don't accept it. The reason why these devils are hiding here is not to defend us!"

Ni Dan was stunned, and seemed to realize something: "Annoyed, you mean that the real goal of this group of devils is—Milong?"

Meng Fanle nodded affirmatively: "Milong, who is exploring the way in front, has attracted all the eyes of the devil behind, and the large army following us has not been exposed yet. That is to say, the devil who is ambushing here is not In order to stop us from advancing, but for the lost dragon ahead, the devil wants to eat up the reconnaissance battalion in one go!"

Gao Fei smiled slightly, and said, "You're so smart, you're so smart, to the point."

The devils are actually not stupid, and they know that their advance regiment is good at using deep penetration tactics.

This time, the devil's commander formulated a plan of "mantis catching cicadas" for the reconnaissance battalion.

Use the artillery unit as a bait to lure the reconnaissance battalion to take the bait, and when the reconnaissance battalion goes deep into the rear, send another force to block the back of the reconnaissance battalion, and then encircle the reconnaissance battalion together with other troops!
Gao Fei became more and more certain that this group of devils came for Milong's reconnaissance camp.
