In fact, there is not much time left for the independent camp.
By the time the supplies arrived at the selected assembly point, it was already past three o'clock in the morning. The soldiers had to rest and drink water to regain their strength before receiving ammunition. Even if Li Jijin's 2nd company was the first company of the independent battalion to replenish ammunition.
, at this time the clock also pointed to 4:10 in the morning.
Fortunately, the nights in winter are longer than those in spring and summer. If nothing else goes wrong, the whole army arrived at the battlefield of Qinglongling Village before it was completely bright.
This time, there was no pre-war mobilization. Tang Dao just stood where each company passed by, standing upright, looking at the brothers who had just left the battlefield and were about to join the battlefield.
This time, there was no salute between the officers and soldiers. The soldiers, carrying sufficient weapons and equipment on their backs, walked in a hurry.
According to Tang Dao's military order, all infantry companies must arrive on the battlefield before 6:20 a.m., giving them more than an hour to build temporary field positions.
Pang Dahai's artillery company has a more difficult task. The two mortar platoons of its artillery company will be personally commanded by Lei Xiong and will accompany all the infantry companies to the front line. However, it already has 4 mountain cannons that can be temporarily transferred to expand the wounded soldiers of each company.
The platoon was placed in a mountain col 3 kilometers away from the frontline battlefield by Tang Dao.
Even more so, because the independent battalion that had spent all its energy surrounding Qinglong Ridge could no longer allocate a guard unit that could be used by the artillery company, all guard tasks could only be handed over to the wounded soldiers who were drawn from each company and were not suitable for the front line.
soldiers.
The 40 wounded soldiers who were either lame or hanging from their arms became the artillery company's strongest support for the future...
The soldiers were walking in a hurry, and the expressions on their faces were far more solemn than usual.
Logically speaking, if you have just won a big victory and your morale is high, your mentality at this time should be far more relaxed than usual.
But the battlefield we are about to enter is obviously not ordinary.
It is not that the soldiers of the Independent Battalion have not seen big scenes. Some have experienced the Battle of Songhu, where millions of troops were deployed, some have experienced the Battle of Songjiang, where the Japanese invaders were surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops, and some have seen dozens of people in the sky.
Fighter planes fought fiercely, with dozens of machine guns on the ground spitting fire nets into the air.
Even the Sichuan Army companies that entered the battlefield a little later had experienced several fierce battles in succession. They had never seen the heavy artillery of the heavy artillery brigade, and they had personally experienced the terror of the 105 howitzer.
To put it bluntly, among all the Chinese soldiers here, from infantry to artillery to medical soldiers, there is not a single child.
But even so, the battlefield outlined by Tang Dao was their first experience in their lives.
They wanted to lay siege to the main force of the Japanese invaders.
Yes, at the meeting of all battalion and company-level officers after dinner, the large encirclement drawn by Tang Dao on the map simply dazzled everyone.
Tang Dao's appetite exceeded everyone's imagination. Although he currently has only 11 infantry companies, one special agent company, one artillery company, one fire support company, and half a baggage company, they are not that complete. On average, each company has a shortage of about
10 people, but he wanted to use these less than 2,000 soldiers to besiege the more than 2,000 Japanese troops who were besieging Qinglongling Village from four directions.
The 2nd company of Li Jijin and the 4th company of Zhao Daqiang, which were the first to set off, had to detour about seven kilometers to reach the south side of Qinglongling Village, which was also an important connection point between the Japanese troops surrounding Qinglongling Village and the Japanese troops on the middle road.
Once a fight breaks out, these two infantry companies may be under pressure from the front and rear. One may end up with the seventh and ninth companies on Highland 3.
Defensive warfare, night raids, and ambush warfare have all been the norm for Chinese soldiers since the beginning of the war. However, this kind of encirclement operation against the Japanese invaders with almost the same force was not even thought of, let alone done.
Even if he was as thick-faced and as big-hearted as Li Jiujin, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide when he heard Tang Dao set out the tactical mission.
Zhao Daqiang, who never had many facial expressions, also had a solemn expression.
Not to mention the other company commanders and the soldiers who had received the combat mission, most of them felt uneasy.
If they didn't have enough confidence in Tang Dao, who led them to victory on the battlefield again and again, I'm afraid someone would have stood up and objected in the battle meeting.
Of course, except for Li, Qian, Zhao, Cheng, and Pang, the former backbone company commanders of the independent battalion who stated on the spot that they would resolutely carry out the order, the rest of the Sichuan Army company commanders who finally stood at attention a few seconds later to express their support still felt that they had just fought.
After winning the battle, Tang Dao felt a little drifting.
However, the military order fell like a mountain!
Even if you have doubts and uneasiness, you can only accept military orders.
However, Tang Dao's usual confidence gave some comfort to a group of anxious officers.
Just like Tang Dao said at the military meeting: "You are afraid of a ball, isn't it the first time to surround the Japanese! Who hasn't had the first time?
This battle! For all of you here, it’s like a bridegroom, imagining the first time in your life. You are so nervous that you don’t want to do it. Little do you know that the person you are going to sleep with is actually more beautiful than you.
Nervous. After all, people don’t know whether you rough guys are rough or gentle, long or short!”
Tang Dao's description is very rude, but very vivid. The bride should not be the most nervous on the wedding night! Shouldn't you, the groom, be excited? Those who are nervous will be called cowards!
"Sir, what if Kunizaki wonders that that old devil is not a little girl but an old woman who has been through a lot?
If he puts on eighteen kinds of postures, I'm afraid that it will be too much for a young man like me! I'm afraid I'll have to have you, Chief, Chief Lei, Chief Guo and several strong men to come together to deal with him." Li Jijin bared his big yellow teeth and said,
His face was full of meanness.
When it comes to men and women, this guy is definitely more positive than anyone else.
Especially when this guy talks about this young man, he looks so mean-spirited that I can't bear to look at him.
"You, Li Jiujin, are suddenly so humble. Why am I still a little uncomfortable with it? Just because you, old Li Zongheng, haven't even scratched a piece of oily skin in the battlefield for more than ten years, I think Kunizaki was stunned by how many times we beat you.
Ladies of this age will also be conquered by your luck shield qualifications. I can give you thirty-six of the postures you want, not to mention eighteen." Tang Dao grinned and replied with a faint smile.
The whole audience burst into laughter.
The tension immediately eased a lot.
With a commander who understands postures like this, Kunizaki is surprised that no matter how many tricks this old woman has, a group of "young men" who have not experienced it for the first time are no longer so nervous.
Tantai Mingyue, who was in charge of the meeting minutes, rolled her eyes silently, doubting that Tang Dao had gone through a lot.
That is, what are the thirty-six postures he mentioned? The reporter from Tantai University didn’t have that picture in his mind! He couldn’t think of any of them.
On this point, let alone him, none of the little and old men here can probably compare with the little butterfly from the future.
The Internet is such a wonderful thing! It’s a pity that it can only become a memory in this era.
"Sir, if you understand me well, then I, Lao Li, will go out of my way to meet this old devil Guo Qizheng. No matter if he is a little girl or an old woman, in short, it will be impossible if he doesn't lie down for me." Li Jiujin, however, did not feel the slightest bit ashamed.
On the contrary, I feel extremely proud of myself...
The middle and high-level officers of the independent battalion reached an agreement in this atmosphere. The entire army sent out all its troops. 11 infantry companies surrounded the main force of the Japanese army from 4 directions and 11 hills. Then more than 600 people from Qinglongling Village attacked from the inside out.
Let's engage in an encirclement and assault operation that combines internal and external cooperation.
However, the officers reached a consensus, but the ordinary soldiers, who were also experiencing this for the first time in their lives, were not so easy to turn around and had doubts about the battlefield they were about to enter.
But their supreme commander was more determined than they imagined.
In order to speed up the march, arrive at the battlefield according to the scheduled time.
Tang Dao didn't even care about the rugged main force several kilometers away. As long as the troops left the canyon one kilometer away, they could march at full speed under lighting conditions.
The so-called lighting state means that you no longer cover your tracks. If you have a Japanese flashlight, use a Japanese flashlight, and if you don't have a torch, use a torch.
Seen from a distance, under the dark sky, dots of fire are circling through the mountains, like fire dragons meandering forward.
Kunizaki was stunned, and was woken up from his deep sleep by his lieutenant-general and chief of staff at about 5:30 in the morning with an extremely panicked expression.
"Your Excellency, detachment leader, there are Chinese people!"
"Nani?"
Although Takeuchi Unzan and his infantry regiment have been missing, intelligence from within the Chinese army has shown that they are fighting fiercely with the Chinese army, and he has also surrounded hundreds or even thousands of Chinese elites. As long as they attack this hill
If he wants to kill this Chinese army, he can regain the ground for the more than a thousand imperial officers and soldiers who died in the Battle of Mouse Mountain a few days ago.
Even Kunizaki had planned that he would not let go of the villagers who provided help to the Chinese troops. He would hang them all in front of their homes, regardless of age or sex!
That was a warning to ordinary Chinese people that the only outcome for going against the empire was death.
Therefore, Major General Kunizaki, the commander of the detachment, who had made good plans, was in a pretty good mood after nightfall, and his sleep quality was the best this week.
Who would have expected that he would be woken up by life before dawn, the coldest day of the day.
However, Kunisaki, who was full of anger, was so stunned by the threat of an enemy that he didn't bother to angrily scold his subordinates who disturbed his dreams. He didn't even have time to put on his military boots, so he ran out of the military tent with his big bare feet, picked up a telescope and looked into the distance.
.
Dots of stars in the distance that were originally twinkling like stars appeared in his vision that was still blurry and gradually became clearer.
Really Chinese!
And, a lot!
Two lumps of eye droppings the size of mung beans trembled in the corners of the eyes of Major General Kunisaki, who was frozen like a statue in the cold wind of winter morning!
