I rise from the sword

Chapter 124
10 minutes later.

The chief officers of each company who received the order quickly led the officers and soldiers to assemble in the battalion headquarters and school field.

"Report to the battalion commander, the company has assembled!"

"Report to the battalion commander, the second company has assembled!"

"Report to the battalion commander that the cavalry company has assembled!"

"Report to the battalion commander, the artillery battery has assembled!"

……

In addition to these four main companies, hundreds of recruits just recruited are also impressively listed.

They have all received simple military training. Although they are not yet qualified soldiers, they already know how to shoot guns and throw grenades.

"Ah, very good!"

Yang Lin, who was standing on the high platform in front of the school field, nodded, and then fixed his eyes on the group of recruits who were temporarily in charge of Ma Gan: "I believe you must be curious, why did I gather you here?"

Before everyone could speak, Yang Lin asked himself and answered, "Because, there are a large number of devils and puppet soldiers who are sending us supplies."

"Whenever we eat meat in our independent camp is when we meet devils and puppet soldiers."

"So, I'm going to lead you to hand over this batch of supplies from the devils."

One of the recruits said: "Battle Commander, are we going to fight now? But, we..."

Yang Lin interrupted: "Are you scared?"

The recruit's face tightened, and he immediately shook his head and said, "Commander, I didn't mean that, but we haven't touched the gun for a few days. If we go to the battlefield like this, will it ruin your plan?"

Hearing this, Yang Lin had a kind smile on his face, and said, "Don't worry, this time I'm just taking you to experience what a real war is, and you don't need to participate in it!"

When the recruits heard this, they were overjoyed at first, and then a little disappointed.

It is said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and these recruits are no exception. They have never been on the battlefield and cannot understand the cruelty of war.

Therefore, their hearts are very eager to go to the battlefield to make military exploits.

However, Yang Lin is not a recruit. He has rich combat experience and knows the cruelty of war.

He knew that there were no natural warriors, and the so-called veterans were honed step by step through life and death.

The recruits were afraid of the artillery, almost as soon as the shells fired, most of the recruits would be terrified and even fled in all directions.

Therefore, rashly sending recruits to the battlefield will not only fail to form an effective combat force, but may even hinder the troops, affect the morale of the troops, and lead to the failure of the entire war.

Many national army troops suffered serious battle damage. In order to replenish soldiers, they adopted the compulsory method of arresting strong men.

The recruits often have not undergone systematic training, and have only practiced shooting for two days. Some of them have not even fired live ammunition, and they are directly dragged into the frontal battlefield.

What combat power can such an army have?

Failure is also within reason.

Immediately after Yang Lin made another simple mobilization, he led the troops towards Heiyun Mountain.

It is worth mentioning that, considering that the distance between Luotuoling and Heiyun Mountain is tens of kilometers, in order to save time and speed up the marching of the troops, this time the artillery company only carried some 90mm and 60mm mortars. Did not carry field or infantry artillery.

……

Black Cloud Mountain.

Heiyunzhai is located on the main peak of Heiyun Mountain, surrounded by high mountains and dense forests, dangerous terrain and rough roads.

Xie Baoqing, the leader of Heiyunzhai, has been entrenched in Heiyun Mountain for many years, and there are nearly 500 followers under him.

Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the local government army had repeatedly organized troops into the mountains to clear Heiyunzhai.

However, due to the dangerous terrain of Heiyun Mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the government army's several times of suppression were thankless, and they lost a lot of troops, and finally nothing happened.

Early this morning, the Japanese and puppet troops quietly surrounded Heiyun Mountain.

They quietly hid in the nearby mountains and forests a few kilometers away, waiting in place for combat orders.

This time, the devils and the puppet army mobilized thousands of people. They aimed to avenge their shame and capture Heiyunzhai in one fell swoop to defend their dignity!
Several camouflaged field tents stood in a forest, which was the temporary headquarters of the Japanese and puppet army's suppression forces.

Several devil officers gathered around the tent, and each of them held up their binoculars to observe the situation in Heiyun village ahead.

A colonel of the puppet army bent down and reminded the leader of the devil with a flattering attitude: "Taijun Guitian, the terrain of Heiyun Mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Before the imperial army came, our local security forces had repeatedly The encirclement and suppression of Heiyunzhai failed.

So, Taijun, you must not be careless. "

The leader of the team, Shaozuo Guizi, put down the binoculars in his hand, with a gloomy face, he reprimanded dissatisfiedly: "Baga! Your previous security force was just a bunch of people. How can that kind of idiot compare with our invincible imperial army? "

"Yes, yes, Mr. Kameda, you are right, the imperial army is invincible!"

The puppet colonel didn't dare to refute being scolded by the devil Shaozuo pointing his nose at his nose. On the contrary, he groveled and flattered him with a smile.

But in his heart he taunted disdainfully: "Hmph! You are invincible? Then why are you defeated by the independent battalion again and again? Others don't know the details of Yang Lin, but I know very well that he is also a bandit.

Underestimate the bandits, there are good fruits for you to eat! "

The colonel secretly made up his mind that when the battle started, he would go to work without any effort, hiding behind and shooting into the sky.

After observing for a few minutes, Major Guizi called the messenger.

"The messenger!"

"Roms!"

A devil's messenger ran over quickly and gave Shao Zuo a sharp nod: "Sir, please give instructions!"

Guizi Shaozuo said to the messenger: "Order the artillery squad to start bombarding the Heiyun Village on the main peak of Heiyun Mountain in 10 minutes!"

"Roms!"

The messenger suddenly turned around and left again, conveying the battle instructions of the Devil Major.

In order to take away Heiyunzhai in one fell swoop, the Japanese army's suppression force not only dispatched a reinforced squadron, but also added a forced mortar squadron.

The whole team is equipped with a total of 12 [-]-type light mortars, which are commonly known as small steel guns.

Immediately afterwards, the ghost commander ordered the puppet colonel next to him: "Li Sang, after the mortar team's shelling is over, you immediately lead the Imperial Army troops to launch the main attack on Heiyunzhai, and I will send the imperial army to support you in the back." Luezhen, provide the necessary fire support!"

"What? Mr. Kameda? Our Imperial Army will launch the main attack?"

When the colonel of the puppet army heard this, his calf became weak on the spot. He just wanted to work but didn't work hard. This bastard is the main attacking force, how can he use foreign labor?
"Li Sang, this is an opportunity to show your talent, I am very optimistic about you, I hope you can take advantage of it.

As long as you can lead your troops to break through the mountain gate of Heiyunzhai, I will definitely ask your Excellency the captain for your credit! "Major Guizi solemnly patted the puppet colonel on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.
