When Du Kaishan heard him mention that the Japanese had a light that could see quite far away, he was stunned at first, but then he realized that it should be a searchlight, so he smiled and said: "It's okay, your brother doesn't understand. If he understands, He won’t die either. We have all practiced our tactics and can avoid him, so you can take us there with confidence.”
Although there was a Japanese fortress in front of him, when Du Kaishan went up the mountain, he still did not bring many troops, only a reconnaissance company and two training staff officers. The reconnaissance company was all veterans, and the guys at hand were also excellent, and there were two A Soviet-made sniper rifle, in Du Kaishan's opinion, is enough. If you bring more people, it will make more noise and easily alert the Japanese.
The distance was only five miles away. After crossing a road that the Japanese army patrolled daily, Du Kaishan saw two barbed wire fences in front of him and the light of searchlights that swept across from time to time. The distance between the two fences in front of him was about 20 meters. Du Kaishan frowned slightly. Needless to say, the two barbed wire fences were definitely minefields.
Sure enough, the guide pointed to the open tunnel between the two barbed wire fences and said: "Chief, that's a minefield. Last winter, several workers ran out from there and tried to run to Lao Maozi's territory in the east. The barbed wire fence inside was overturned. They came over, but they were all blown up between two barbed wire fences."
"An uncle of mine was forced by them to burn the corpses of laborers. This is what he said when he came back. He had been a soldier of Marshal Zhang in his early years and knew a little about these things. He told me repeatedly that I must not steal it. If you run this way, the Japanese will tell the workers that the entire Manchu-Soviet border is mined, and if you try to run away, you will be blown up."
"But since the spring of this year, my uncle has never come back. If he is here, maybe you can get the things you are thinking of from him. He has been there since the first year of Kant when the Japanese were building fortifications here. I was sent out to do hard labor, first feeding horses to the Japanese, and then burning people to death. I have been doing this for five or six years, so I should know the situation there very well."
Hearing the pityful tone of the guide, Du Kaishan, who was holding a telescope and looking at the bright light from the Japanese searchlights to carefully observe the Japanese military fortifications on Honey Mountain, did not answer him because Du Kaishan guessed that his uncle from the same family might have been captured by the Japanese army. Silence.
Putting down the telescope in his hand, Du Kaishan retracted his head into the thatch almost one person deep before the Japanese searchlight turned around, and said to the staff officer beside him: "Tell the troops to cross the road and move towards this direction immediately before dawn. , must reach a distance of eight hundred meters behind us."
"Tell them to reduce the noise as much as possible and not to alert the Japanese army. In addition, tell the artillery to deploy along the highway, seize the time to build fortifications, wait for orders, and be ready to fire at any time. Tell the correspondent to get the radio station ready for me. Keep communications open.”
"As for us here, we still have to wait. The night is still too dark and the sight is still too limited. We can't see clearly the Japanese fortifications and firepower distribution. After daybreak, we will make a conclusion after careful observation and tell you. They are not allowed to make any noise without orders."
After the staff officer took the order and left, Du Kaishan raised his telescope and patiently observed the situation of the entire Honey Mountain. Except for occasionally avoiding the beams of Japanese searchlights that swept over from time to time, Du Kaishan did not put down the telescope at hand most of the time. telescope.
When the sky got brighter and Du Kaishan saw the real situation of Honey Mountain in front of him, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He could judge the thickness of the row of artillery bunkers in front of Honey Mountain without looking at anything else. As for the artillery-proof performance, based on the thickness of the entire reinforced concrete fortification that is just exposed to my eyes, I am afraid that a 75mm artillery shell would not leave even a trace if it exploded on it.
Moreover, its firepower points are only what I have observed, and they are not what I imagined. Just judging from the fortifications exposed on the surface, most of its firepower points are complementary to each other. All firepower points can rely on and support each other, and the entire There are almost no blind spots in the shooting area.
The Japanese army has almost built the entire Honey Mountain into an extra-large bunker group. No matter which direction they attack from, they will be covered by a variety of Japanese firepower. Moreover, Du Kaishan bets that the Japanese army is between Honey Mountain and Miaoling. Among the larger fortification groups, these are definitely not the only ones seen in front of you.
I believe that there must be a considerable number of bunker groups in this area of lofty mountains. Just from the pruned vegetation on the front, it can be roughly seen that the number of bunker groups is not small, and it looks like it stretches for more than ten miles. Among the fortresses in the world, Dukai Mountain feels like a tiger eating the sky and having nowhere to eat.
Du Kaishan carefully observed the situation of the Japanese fortress group in Honey Mountain. The guide over there looked at the sky gradually getting brighter, but he tugged on Du Kaishan's sleeve nervously and said: "Chief, should we When I went back, a Japanese patrol was about to come out. They had wolves and dogs. I heard that those animals were fed human flesh and were very ferocious."
Du Kaishan smiled when he heard this and said: "Don't worry, we will have a way to deal with them when their patrol team comes out in a while, but you are not only familiar with the terrain here, are you familiar with them? They know it all the time they patrol, and I think you are not a simple person."
The guard behind Du Kaishan reacted very quickly. After he finished his questioning words, the guide on the other side had already been pushed on the head by a speed machine with the nose of the machine wide open, and at the same time, a bayonet was also lowered towards him. On the throat, if this guide makes any movement, he will probably die quietly.
Looking at the actions of his guard, Du Kaishan waved his hand and said: "Let him go. There is nothing wrong with this kid. If there was, we would have been exposed long ago. This kid is not bad. He is a good soldier, but he is too smooth." , speak only half of it, when this battle is over, send it to him to be refined and refined, until it becomes a good piece of steel."
"Tell me, what is your job? If I'm not mistaken, you should have been a beard. The calluses on your fingers are thicker than my guards. You look like a veteran with guns. You... We have to keep an eye on this place for more than a day or two, right? Most people don’t have the heart or courage to observe how detailed the Japanese patrols are, when they will be dispatched, and whether they will bring wolves or dogs with them."
When the guide heard that his old secret was exposed, he said with some embarrassment: "Chief, you really didn't make a mistake. My father is a beard. I grew up in a beard nest. When I was one month old, my father gave it to me. My full-moon gift was a Russian-made revolver. Chief, I am not bragging to you. I can shoot before I can walk. When I was five years old, I could ride a bareback horse without a saddle and compete with others on horse racing."
"After the September 18th Incident, the Japanese spent a lot of money to recruit my father to serve as their thugs, but my father said that we are beards, but Chinese beards cannot do things that forget their ancestors. At first, my father led us to fight spontaneously. The Japs later joined the Eighth Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance and followed Commander Xie to fight the Japs."
"The year before two years ago, the Japanese troops were pressing heavily on the border, and the situation had deteriorated sharply. From the commander of the Eighth Army to the commanders of each division, the Eighth Army surrendered to the enemy one after another. The Eighth Army had a rebellion the year before last. My father, Director Liu of the Political Department of the Protection Army, went to the Third Division to mobilize for the Western Expedition. Who knew the commander of the Third Division of the Eighth Army? The commander-in-chief, Wang Zifu, wanted to kill Director Liu of the Military Political Department and surrender to the enemy. Because my father did not agree, he wanted to protect the Director of the Military Political Department, Liu Shuhua, from leaving, but they shot him and killed him together with Director Liu."
"In order to eradicate the root cause, he sent his cronies to hunt me down. I escaped and ran all the way from Yidong to Mishan to escape. Originally, I wanted to hide at my uncle's house for a while, but I didn't expect that I would not be able to escape until I got here. It was discovered that the Japanese had driven away all the people in this area in order to clean up the border area, all the houses were burned down, and all the fishing boats on Xingkai Lake were scuttled."
"After asking for a long time, I learned from a fellow villager of my uncle that because my uncle had no livelihood after leaving here, he refused to move and led the villagers to resist. As a result, the whole family and my mother who was hiding in my uncle's house were forced to leave. They were all dragged to the lake and picked out. After the two cousins were arrested and taken to the Japanese construction site, there was no further news."
"From that day on, I worked as a part-time worker in Dong'an to make ends meet, and at the same time I kept an eye on this place, trying to find an opportunity to avenge my uncle's family. I was trained by the teaching team of the Second Route Army Headquarters, and I know a little about military qualities. I know how to evade Japanese patrols, so I came several times at night without being discovered."
"It's just that the enemy's security is too tight. I don't know how to clear mines, so I can only hide outside and wander around to get a feel for the situation outside. I don't know what the situation is inside the mountain. But chief, I'm not hiding everything from you. , because my father didn’t want me to follow his old path of being blind and unable to read a single word.”
"So when I was a child, for most of a year, I was sent to study at my uncle's house where no one knew my background. I visited almost all the mountains and rivers in this area, including every river branch, ravine and lakeside. Every plant and tree here is familiar to me. When I was a kid, roping pheasants and catching fish in the lake were the happiest times in my life.”
"My uncle doesn't dislike me as the bearded son. Although he is dissatisfied with my father, he always treats me as his biological son. He also hired the best gentleman and two cousins, treating me as his biological brother. , took me to play, coaxed me when I was homesick, and often prepared delicious food for me."
"My father won't let me avenge him. I have to find a way to survive. As a son, I must listen to him. But my uncle's family has been very kind to me, especially my two cousins. To this day, I can't see anyone alive or dead. This hatred I had to report it, but unfortunately my gun ran out of bullets during the breakout and was buried in the Yidong Mountains. Otherwise, I would have had to shoot them one by one."
"When you first entered the city, I didn't dare to believe you said it was the Anti-Japanese Alliance. I had contact with the Fourth Army, Fifth Army, Ninth Army, and the Third Army and Sixth Army in the north when I was in the Eighth Army. Such lavish equipment includes dozens of cannons, as well as so many light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and grenades."
"I have been in the Eighth Army for two years, and I have never seen the Anti-Union Army with such good equipment. I volunteered to sign up as a guide just to see if you are really resisting the Alliance. Until you did that before Those words and that song convinced me that you are really an anti-alliance force."
