To launch an attack at night, you need strong firepower to suppress it.
Unfortunately, the enemy is not satisfied with this.
His biggest mistake.
He just didn't expect that this time he would encounter a special agent group.
The special agent group did not take action in the Zhanggushan area. Therefore, his configuration was not known to the Japanese troops who came to reinforce or even fight against him.
In addition, the bloody battle did not end long ago. How could the other party attack?
As for being tired from the long journey.
That's also wrong.
Coming from the back is really tiring.
But Zhou Weiguo played a trick.
When setting off in the evening, the 1st and 2nd Battalions who were about to attack were asked to ride in vehicles. The health company and some supplies originally on the vehicles were put down and let the 4th Battalion as the reserve team carry them.
Therefore, the physical strength of the two battalions did not decline at all.
There was no noise. After getting off the vehicles, the soldiers assembled under the leadership of the company commanders of each company.
Zhou Weiguo stood on a small dirt bun and looked at the troops gathering forward with a look of relief on his face.
Whether a unit is well trained or not can be seen from its assembly.
"During this period, you have trained well and deserve praise." Zhou Weiguo turned to Jiang Yue who was standing next to him and smiled.
"Your daughter-in-law Tian Jing is personally responsible for the arrest, Hu Yong and Xu Hu are responsible for it, and the veterans cooperate and there is no fighting. If this is the case, the troops cannot be trained. Our secret service team is too undeserved." Jiang Yue said.
Light a match and light the cigarette in your mouth.
Seeing that Zhou Weiguo was holding it in his mouth, he moved his hand forward and asked Zhou Weiguo to light the cigarette as well.
This faint light of fire allowed Li Dequan, who was looking for Zhou Weiguo, to see it.
He had come over a long time ago, had a handover with the Sichuan Army, and began to look for artillery positions and the opponent's firepower points.
"Captain, you are here." Li Dequan came to Zhou Weiguo, saluted and spoke.
Zhou Weiguo squatted on the mound and threw a cigarette to Li Dequan, then threw the match over and waited for him to take a puff and asked, "How is it, I asked you to do it."
"Captain, we have found a good location. I have also inquired with the Sichuan Army about their firepower points and bunkers and personally investigated them."
good.
Zhou Weiguo raised his wrist and checked the time with the help of the weak moonlight.
It's two fifty-five now.
Putting down his wrist, Zhou Weiguo took two hard puffs and looked at Li Dequan: "I'll give you one hour, at 3:55, all your artillery should be in place. In half an hour, all the shells should be in place and adjusted.
Shoot Zhu Yuan. At four o'clock, I will attack on time."
"Yes." Li Dequan straightened his chest and accepted the task.
Zhou Weiguo hummed and said, "Also, I won't attack on that side this time. The main attack directions are on both sides. Your artillery must be divided into two."
split into two?
Li Dequan opened his mouth in shock and moved his head forward: "Commander, we only have five cannons. If we are scattered, we will not have much power."
Jiang Yue chuckled from the side; "Your regimental commander has gone to the military headquarters and the artillery under the general headquarters has been mobilized. You can take command together."
Then he is no longer afraid. Li Dequan threw away his cigarette and saluted solemnly: "Don't worry, captain, I promise to complete the task on time."
As soon as Li Dequan left, Zhou Weiguo sat on the ground.
Seeing that he sat down like this, Xueyi quickly found an ammunition box and moved it over; "Captain, the ground is cold, you are sitting up here."
Seeing the girl's appearance, Zhou Weiguo also accepted her sentiments and sat on top and said to Xueyi: "Xueyi, you stay here, wait for the health company behind, and let them deploy in the woods three hundred meters away.
,In addition, I give you a task."
"Captain, tell me." Xue Yi squatted beside her with a smile. This was the first time for her to receive a task personally assigned by the commander.
Tian Jing went out to perform a mission. Someone had to watch over at the War Supervisory Office. Although there was a deputy team leader there, there were not many of them. Most of them were new recruits this time. The training was quite good, but it was inevitable that the gunfire would sound.
You have to run away.
This kind of thing happened not once or twice.
"Take a squad of troops and two machine guns over there and guard the rear for me. No matter who it is, when the battle starts, except for the resting and attacking troops. If he dares to run to the rear, you will kill him.
"
Xueyi has been a soldier for more than a day or two. She knows that the regiment leader is worried that someone will become a deserter.
She nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, commander, I will put the machine gun in front of you. If anyone dares to come over, I will kill him."
The Sichuan Army has defensive positions here, but they don't have enough troops. However, the trenches are well dug.
It's just another way for local troops to make up for the lack of weapons, using trenches to reduce soldier casualties.
Even if Zhou Weiguo entered the waist-deep trench, he would still think the place was good.
It just lacks shelter from the cannons.
This cannot be blamed on the Sichuan Army. Although the Sichuan Army has fought in the civil war for so many years, it has not seen many artillery pieces. How could it possibly dig these things?
Forward Command.
Zhou Weiguo raised his butt and looked into the distance with a telescope.
It's a pity that it's a bit far away and can't be seen clearly at all.
"Damn it, I can't see anything." Zhou Weiguo put the telescope aside in frustration.
Jiang Yue, who was sitting on the ammunition box, glanced sideways at him and asked, "What do you want to see?"
Hi……
After coming to sit next to Jiang Yue, Zhou Weiguo knocked on the table made of empty ammunition boxes; "I have to see if there is a mine array in front of me. Don't kill me with an attack."
cut……
Jiang Yue pointed at Zhou Weiguo; "You have been behind the enemy for a long time, and you have forgotten the situation in front. When will the Japanese defense positions place mines in front?"
Snapped……
Zhou Weiguo patted his forehead.
He really almost forgot about it.
The Japanese army really didn't have the habit of deploying landmines in the front. Firstly, they thought it was embarrassing, and secondly, they looked down on this side, so they would not deploy these things in the front.
"Really, I almost forgot about this. Sigh." Zhou Weiguo took out a cigarette.
But I thought of this place.
He still put it aside and looked at the staff officer beside him: "Have the troops entered the attack position?"
There was no news from the first and second battalions, so the messenger didn't say much and went out to inquire about the news.
Jiang Yue turned around the Browning in his right hand. He was still relieved about the infantry, and this time he used the two battalions with the fastest combat response in the special agent group.
"The first and second battalions should have arrived at the designated position. Now, we just need to wait until the artillery is in position."
Zhou Weiguo looked at the time and saw that there were still twenty minutes until four o'clock.
He was a little worried. He grabbed the armed belt from the side and tied it around his waist. He said to Jiang Yue, "You are here, I will go out and take a look."
