Chapter 128 Can't wait for dawn!
After a hard day of hard work, the officers and soldiers of the Avengers camp quickly returned to their respective barracks to rest after enjoying a sumptuous celebration banquet. Many soldiers were also full of expectations for going out to fight later.
Although I don’t know what to do when I go out, the soldiers left behind did not feel happy. Compared with the soldiers who went out, the camp was not necessarily safe. One was to take the initiative, and the other was to fight back passively.
Whether you go out of the mountain or stay behind, you may fight with the Japanese or sacrifice. Fortunately, after experiencing this defensive counterattack, many soldiers felt that it might be safer to be with Hu Biao.
Hu Biao, who went out in advance after dinner, handed over all the follow-up tasks to Xu Mingzhi. In order to fight tonight's sneak attack, Hu Biao and the guard platoon must take advantage of the rest of the people to solve the problem of the Japanese guard posts deployed by the Japanese army on the periphery.
In the eyes of others, the guard platoon is highly valued by Hu Biao every day. But many soldiers still understand that joining the guard platoon will be more difficult to fight. If you don’t have the ability and ability to bear it, the guard platoon is not something that anyone can enter just by wanting it.
With the newly selected fifteen veterans, Hu Biao soon appeared at the mountain pass. Looking at Xu Sandao, who had completed the defense at the mountain pass, and Hu Biao, who brought him hot soup and rice, also ordered the soldiers to start enjoying the belated supper.
While eating, Hu Biao also asked: "Sandao, is there any movement in the Japanese devils?"
"No! I took people forward and touched them before, but I didn't meet the Japanese. However, there were many patrol teams outside the Japanese station. Look at this, the Japanese did not plan to send troops into the mountain tonight. They probably wanted to trap the camp!"
After explaining the situation that had been detected before, Hu Biao truthfully, Hu Biao thought for a while and said, "Okay, you can have a meal first, and go out with me to touch the situation after dinner. Try to push our attack position two miles outside the Japanese camp."
"clear!"
"These fifteen brothers were just selected from the entire battalion. You will be assigned to each squad later. When Minyi comes back, our guard platoon will be full. What are the rules in the platoon? Tell them more and let the old brothers take more."
"yes!"
I didn't know that Hu Biao was preparing to attack the infantry corps at night. After dinner, the infantry corps captain also convened his subordinates to hold a meeting to discuss tomorrow's combat deployment. Compared with the morning meeting, the number of people holding the meeting tonight was significantly less.
According to Miura Mahei's suggestion, the infantry corps captain quickly said: "I had asked the division commander to punish him before. Today, the corps suffered heavy losses. It was caused by my underestimation of the cunning, tenacity and too confident of this group of Chinese troops.
Although I took all my responsibilities, our mission has not been completed. After dawn, I will lead the remaining troops of the regiment to enter the mountains again to encircle and suppress the Chinese soldiers. For this reason, I have asked the division commander to coordinate the air force to assist in the war.
After entering the mountain tomorrow, we will first surround the Chinese army, and then send a small team to guide the army and air force to carry out targeted bombing. The positions of the Chinese army can withstand the artillery squadron's artillery squadron's artillery bombs, and will definitely not withstand the air force's aviation bombs.
During tomorrow's bombing, I have suggested that the Air Force use incendiary bombs. The Chinese army's blocking positions have a lot of vegetation. Once ignited, the consequences can be imagined. What we have to do is take the opportunity to capture their positions.
Although doing so may burn down the robbed materials, in this case, we do not have many other choices. After occupying the position, ask for the hidden location of the materials as soon as possible, and then try to grab more materials."
"Hi!"
Requesting the Army Air Force to bomb is more to avoid such losses today. Compared to mobilizing heavy troops and artillery from the rear, the infantry corps captain felt that it would undoubtedly be faster and more convenient to ask for assistance from the Air Force.
As for the fire that may be caused by the burning mountain, the infantry corps captain did not take much into consideration. Moreover, when Miura Makai attacked during the day, he had already discovered that the outer periphery of the positions of the Avenger Camp seemed to have been built.
This shows that the defenders stationed at the mountain positions should have considered the possibility of the Japanese army setting fire to the mountain. The isolation belt built does not want to ignite the camp behind the position after the fire spreads.
The infantry corps leader wants to guide the air force to bomb tomorrow is the mountain positions built on the left and right sides of the Avenge Camp camp. As long as the Japanese army can successfully capture these two mountain positions, the subsequent clearance battle will become very easy.
The infantry corps captain who fought with the anti-Japanese war forces several times knew very well that once the national army was defeated, they had only one thing to do, that is, to chase the anti-Japanese war forces behind them and kill all the defeated soldiers who were defeated and fleeing.
Seeing that the corps captain took the responsibility for failure, but still did not lose confidence, the officers participating in the meeting were naturally grateful. Including Miura Mahei, who failed the first battle, also made up his mind to perform well tomorrow's battle.
But they never expected that the avenge camp, which also suffered a lot of losses today, would dare to launch a night attack on its own initiative. When Hu Biao led Xu Sandao and others to walk out of the mountains, the night attack battle was officially announced.
The soldiers who had just been selected into the guard platoon looked at Hu Biao who led the ten guard platoon soldiers away, and said in a little puzzled and curious: "Squad Leader, are we waiting here? Don't you have to go up and help?"
"No need! Stay here with peace of mind and wait for the order. The battalion commander and the platoon leader went to reconnaise the enemy situation. Before the battle started, you cannot alarm the Japanese in the open area ahead. Otherwise, the raid tonight would be difficult to fight!"
"Squad leader, are the battalion commanders planning to shoot the Japanese with bows and arrows?"
"It should be! Okay, although the battalion commander told you to ask more questions, but during the battle, I hope you can see more and think more. If you have any questions or confusions, I will talk about it when the battle is over. At this time, let's take a look.
Joining the Guard platoon is an honor and a responsibility. First of all, I would like to remind you that you must learn to make full use of all time to rest. As the sharp knife of the entire battalion, the Guard platoon often has to fight continuously and there is not much time to give you rest.
The more you are, the more you need to learn to find opportunities for a while and then be energetic when fighting. I know that it will be difficult for you to do it in a while. But you must try to find your feelings slowly, and you will naturally learn it over time."
"Yes, squad leader!"
The new soldiers assigned to Qin Tianyou, Chen Qiang and others also knew that these two squad leaders were Hu Biao's direct confidants. Generally speaking, although Hu Biao was the battalion commander of the avenge camp, he often dealt with the guard platoon.
In the afternoon, the four combat platoons who cooperated with the guard platoon to fight, each soldier seemed very excited after returning to the camp. In their opinion, the soldiers of the guard platoon were indeed powerful, and they were stronger than their shooting skills and combat capabilities.
Being in the army, the strong are respected. It is naturally an honor to be lucky enough to fight side by side with these strong people. When they learned that they were selected to the guard platoon, the fifteen new soldiers all cherished this rare opportunity.
As the commander and instructor of the Guard Platoon, if the veterans die, new soldiers will naturally join. What Hu Biao has to do is to retain as many veterans as possible, so that the Guard Platoon will truly become an invincible sharp knife in his hand.
If you want to build such a unit and sharp sword, you must go through countless bloody battles to sharpen it. Veterans who can survive will inevitably become stronger and stronger in combat strength and experience. When new soldiers join, they can also play the role of "passing and leading the way".
If Hu Biao had to teach everything himself, I'm afraid Hu Biao wouldn't have so much time. He could only bring out a group of backbones first, and then use the demonstration role of backbones to let the new soldiers enter the state as soon as possible and become the new sharp knife of the guard platoon.
Looking at the Japanese troops stationed in the open area and placing the patrol sentry a mile away, Hu Biao also said unexpectedly: "It seems that the Japanese are really confident and feel that no one dares to attack their camp in such an open area!"
"Battery Commander, the Japanese are actually very vigilant. When I led the team to reconnaissance earlier, I saw machine gun positions built around the Japanese camp and even dug hidden trenches. If I rushed in directly, I would really suffer a loss.
In addition, you see, the camp site chosen by the Japanese was obviously higher than the surrounding area. In addition, there is a small river next to them, so they don’t have to worry about the water source being blocked by us. It is not much different to launching an attack under this terrain than suicide.”
"Is there a small river leading to the edge of the camp? Are there any whistles near the small river?"
"I don't know! During the reconnaissance earlier, we just walked around the camp. The water level of the river is not shallow and is not suitable for attacking. Of course, if it really starts a fight, it is probably impossible for the Japanese to break through the river."
"So! The Japanese chose a place surrounded by water on one side and mountains on three sides. Go to the river to see first. I want to know if that small river is really not suitable for breaking through. Otherwise, let the Japanese cross the river and break through later, we will be blind!"
"Yes! Battalion Commander, go here!"
Under the guidance of Xu Sandao, the group quickly touched the place where the river was. Taking advantage of the burning moonlight, Hu Biao specially found tools to test it. He found that the water depth in the middle of the river was mostly about two meters.
This means that if you don’t have a ferry boat, you can only swim through the river if you want to break through the river. The only regret is that the river surface of this small river is not wide. People who can swim can swim across the river in a few minutes.
Of course, under this weather conditions, the river water is very cool, and there is mud by the river. In panic, he wanted to break out of the river, and the possibility of being drowned is also very high. After seeing the terrain here in person, Hu Biao had a rough idea in his mind.
Returning to the position opposite the Japanese military camp, Hu Biao grabbed a handful of dry soil from the ground and threw it away to test the wind direction tonight. In order to use the special bullet attack camp, Hu Biao had to consider the wind direction.
Using the help of the wind direction, the mustard gas sprayed out by the special bullet further spreads into the entire Japanese military camp. What Hu Biao has to do is to pierce the upper air outlet into the pocket and wait for the Japanese to take the initiative to deliver it to the door.
