The word "no one" not only startled Xiao Ya, but also made Xueyi, who was following Xiao Ya, cover her mouth in surprise and said, "No one, is that a will-o'-the-wisp?"
What a will-o'-the-wisp, girls are just timid.
The village was occupied by the Japanese army, and a bonfire appeared in the courtyard. This meant that the people in the village had been killed by these bastards.
There are indeed people in the village, but they are not ordinary people, but Japanese soldiers.
However, Xueyi was not right when she said they were ghosts. The Japanese soldiers were really ghosts. No, they were worse than ghosts.
"The Japanese troops are living there now. Except for those who escaped, the rest have probably been killed by them." Zhou Weiguo handed the binoculars to Xu Hu, who was standing next to Xueyi, and took off his general's coat and spread it on the ground.
Xiao Ya sat down, looked at Hu Yong beside him and said, "Hu Yong, let the troops rest where they are and recuperate. We are going to break through at noon today."
Jiang Yue was listening to Zhou Weiguo's daytime breakout, and was shocked as he pointed to the village down the hillside: "Daytime breakout, are you right?"
No.
I don't know how many Japanese troops there are at the foot of the mountain. It looks like they are scattered. The Japanese troops are scattered. I am not sure how many troops the other side has.
Therefore, if you want to attack, you have to wait until they are gathered together to attack.
When they are going to assemble, it is during lunch time. At that time, except for the sentries and possible machine gun positions, the rest of the people will be eating in one place. At that time, it is time to attack.
Quickly break through the Japanese position, then pass through and go to the Shuizhu Forest.
"I don't know how many people are inside, and there's no way around them. Apart from attacking during the day, how else can you find the most suitable time for them to gather together?"
This time, I didn't have time to fight a protracted battle with the opponent. I had to break the suppression quickly and let the main force break through. Zhou Weiguo really couldn't find it. When was the best time except when they were having dinner.
After a night of marching, Xiao Ya lay beside him for less than ten minutes when he heard the sound of even breathing. Looking at Xiao Ya lying next to him, Zhou Weiguo gently touched her cheek and stood up carefully.
I took the telescope from Xu Hu and looked at the town down the mountain.
Now, you can clearly see the following situation.
The village houses criss-crossing and scattered on the roads at the foot of the mountains are mainly concentrated on both sides of the road. There are also some houses on the relatively gentle slopes on both sides, but not many.
There are Type 92 machine gun positions at both ends of the village, and there are several Japanese sentries on the roofs, observing the surrounding situation from a high position.
It's unclear how many Japanese troops there are, but Zhou Weiguo is waiting.
The beep beep bugle sounded after waiting for nearly half an hour.
The harsh and sharp sound made Xiao Ya sit up all of a sudden.
Zhou Weiguo showed a gentle smile and knelt down to hold her hand; "Go to sleep, this is the sound of the Japanese army's drill bugle. Sleep peacefully and replenish your strength. You have been tired from following me in the past two days."
Xiao Ya shook her head slightly and looked at Zhou Weiguo; "As long as I'm by your side, I won't be tired."
Even though she said this, she fell down next to Xueyi and fell asleep again.
Jiang Yue, who had been observing from the side, saw Xiao Ya sleeping. He pulled Zhou Weiguo to another place under the pine tree where it was easier to observe and pointed his finger. "There are more than five hundred people, which should be the strength of two squadrons."
Two squadrons were deployed. The configuration of one Japanese squadron plus the squadron headquarters was about 180 people. Judging from the strength of the opponent's troops and the deployed machine gun positions, the number of people was over 500.
"It's not just two squadrons, it should be two and a half." Zhou Weiguo looked around and pointed at Hu Yong; "You ask someone to walk around and see if there is an artillery team in the village.
Since there are so many people stationed in this place, they must have been ordered to station them here.
This time, not all the troops crossed the river in Xiaguan. Some troops broke out from the front. For example, the two armies of the Guangdong Army broke out from the front. Although there were certain losses, they were better than staying in Xiaguan.
Let the Japanese army catch up and kill them.
Hu Yong hummed; "Don't worry, captain, I'll go take a look myself."
Sure enough, there was an artillery team, two infantry artillery pieces, located on the low-lying ground to the east of the village.
As for mortars, it goes without saying. The Japanese army is equipped with mortars. Of course, their mortars are not fire suppression, but a kind of cover for infantry.
After Zhou Weiguo figured out the situation, he took out his cigarette and walked inside. After making sure that the Japanese troops on the opposite side could not see it, he lit it and took two puffs and said to Xu Hu who was following him: "Go and call all the officers with the rank of lieutenant or above.
, hold a meeting here.
Although more than 2,000 people are under his own rule, there is currently no unified plan. While there is still time, first divide the organizational structure clearly. Otherwise, if you think it is the first battalion, he thinks it is the second battalion, this is the third battalion.
, it will be inconvenient to mobilize at that time.
Officers above the rank of lieutenant soon arrived at where Zhou Weiguo was.
He casually pointed to the uneven ground paved with pine needles. Zhou Weiguo took a puff of his cigarette and looked at the officers and said, "You are able to follow me because you trust me, Zhou Weiguo. For this, I am very grateful to you. You believe in me."
, follow me, and I will definitely bring everyone safely to Jiangbei, but now, we have to face a reorganization problem."
Hu Yong waved his hand after hearing what Zhou Weiguo said: "Commander, that's what you say, we have no objection."
Zhou Weiguo pointed at Hu Yong, who always agreed with him: "You can't represent everyone's opinions, let alone the opinions of the new brothers."
Zhou Weiguo turned his attention to the battalion commanders who were transferred from behind and the people who came from Jinling at that time.
The eyes of the few people did not show much surprise. They all nodded and said, "Captain, you just have to make arrangements. We will obey the order."
With the nods of these people, Zhou Weiguo can make arrangements easily. His own military strength has been calculated yesterday.
There are more than 2,400 people. If it were in other armies, such as the Sichuan Army, it might be a division or a brigade. But in the Central Army, the strength of this brigade cannot reach that, but it can be a little bit different from the two regiments.
troops.
Zhou Weiguo discussed this matter with Jiang Yue during the march last night.
More than 2,500 people, four battalions were first established. The first battalion was composed of the remaining troops of the original special agent regiment, with Hu Yong as the battalion commander. The second battalion was composed of the remaining troops and the Sichuan army that had accompanied Jinling. Huang
Ying was the battalion commander, and the reinforcements from Tutu Temple were the third battalion, with Li Qi, the former commander of the third battalion, as the battalion commander. The fourth battalion, the troops who came over halfway, was four battalions, and he temporarily served as the battalion commander.
The reason why he takes on the concurrent role is that he currently doesn't know who is most suitable to be the battalion commander, and he needs to make a decision after observation.
The captured artillery and mortars were used to form a machine gun company, with Jiang Yue concurrently serving as the artillery company commander. The health company remained unchanged, and the remaining more than 100 people were formed into a reinforced company, with Xu Hu serving concurrently.
After explaining what he meant, Zhou Weiguo narrowed his eyes when no one spoke, "Do you have any opinions?"
