Chapter 173 Little Devils Can Play Tricks

"Independent mixed first brigade?"

Li Yunlong was full of doubts and asked: "Is it the first independent mixed brigade that opened the gate of Shanxi from Tianzhen in 37?"

"Not bad!"

Ding Wei nodded, and then said: "However, although the number of this independent mixed first brigade is still the original number, it is completely different from the previous independent mixed first brigade.

Because it was reorganized on July 39, 7, with the demobilized and remnants of the 22th Division of the Japanese Army as the backbone. "

"It has two infantry regiments and six infantry brigades under its jurisdiction. In addition, there is an engineering brigade and an artillery brigade, with a total strength of nearly 6 people.

Compared with that in 37, not only has its combat effectiveness not declined, but it has improved a lot! "

After speaking, Ding Wei took out from his pocket a document about the First Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army.

After reading the information, everyone's heart tightened.

Li Yunlong glanced at Yang Lin and said, "I said, the little devil invested so much troops in Jiaocheng Mountain, so he must be targeting you, brother Yang Lin?"

Yang Lin explained with a smile: "I have no more than one battalion of soldiers, how can I let the little devil invest so many troops."

"Of course, the little devil didn't have his head squeezed by the door."

After saying this, Yang Lin said with a cold face: "It's because our army deployed eight 8mm caliber heavy howitzers on the main peak of Jiaocheng Mountain.

The power of this thing, I believe you should be very clear without my introduction, right?

The reconnaissance planes of the two little devils just now were aimed at these 8 heavy artillery pieces without accident. "

"That is, the maximum range can exceed 15 kilometers, and the absolute killing radius reaches 50 meters. It can easily destroy a row of 150mm caliber heavy howitzers with a single shot, and there are still 8 of them?"

Li Yunlong and others all showed shocked expressions.

Immediately, Ding Wei suddenly said: "These heavy artillery are deployed on Jiaocheng Mountain, and their firepower can cover almost half of Wenshui Pass. It can be said that as long as there are these heavy artillery, it will be difficult for the Japanese army to conquer Wenshui Pass from the front.

No wonder the Japanese army invested so many troops in Jiaocheng Mountain. "

Li Yunlong said: "Emotional old Yan transferred us here to guard these heavy artillery."

"more or less."

Yang Lin nodded.

Li Yunlong dissatisfied: "Our ancestors have an old saying that is good, only a thousand days is a thief, how can there be a thousand days to guard against a thief?"

"For once and for all, I think we should take the initiative to attack with the support of these heavy artillery, and kill the little devil by surprise!"

Kong Jie took a puff of tobacco and retorted, "Attack on the initiative? We have difficulty in protecting ourselves now, so how can we talk about attacking on the initiative?

If you do what you do, sooner or later you will lose all of my independent group's wealth! "

Li Yunlong curled his lips and said, "What is your independent group? Now it's Lao Tzu's independent group, and your family was wiped out in Yangcun."

"If it wasn't for Lao Tzu, the independent regiment would still distribute dough!"

Kong Jie refuted Li Yunlong's initiative because of his conservative and cautious personality.

Immediately, Li Yunlong looked at Yang Lin again and asked, "Brother Yang Lin, do you think we should take the initiative?"

Yang Lin said: "Although Huaxia is big, we have no way out, so of course we should take the initiative!

Only by taking the initiative to attack can we win!
Otherwise, blindly defending will only encourage the arrogance of the little devil, and make our country's territory gradually eroded by the Japanese army! "

The reason why Li Yunlong asked Yang Lin instead of Ding Wei was because he understood the other party's character.

Almost as adventurous as he is.

Otherwise, when we were in Cangyun Ridge, it would have been impossible to dare to attack Sakata's headquarters with only more than 100 stragglers in our hands.

At the moment, Li Yunlong glanced at Kong Jie provocatively: "Kong Er, Brother Yang Lin is not only the lieutenant colonel battalion commander of the independent battalion, but also the tactical consultant of the former enemy general headquarters at Wenshuiguan, who has the right to mobilize Wenshuiguan Any army in the order of battle.

Even he said that now, are you convinced? "

"Uh……"

Yang Lin said embarrassingly: "Brother Yunlong, what Brother Kong Jie said is actually right, with our current strength, it is indeed difficult to protect ourselves.

Therefore, even if we want to attack, we must wait for a suitable opportunity instead of launching an attack blindly. "

"Look, what we said is right?"

Kong Jie took another puff of dry tobacco.

"Uh... Brother Yang Lin, why are you so double-faced?"

Li Yunlong glanced at Yang Lin complaining.

"Ring ring ring, ring ring ring—"

At this moment, there was another rush of telephone ringing in the battalion headquarters.

The communicator picked it up and listened for a while, then reported to Yang Linhui: "Battalion Commander, the forward observation post reported that they found a Japanese army in the forest 3 kilometers to the northeast.

At present, this Japanese army is moving towards the forward position of our battalion! "

"Oh?"

Yang Lin frowned, then picked up the binoculars and walked out of the battalion headquarters.

Soon, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei also followed out together.

They walked to a commanding height with a wide view next to the headquarters, held up the binoculars together, and looked towards the distant mountains and forests.

Yang Lin slowly enlarged the magnification of the high-definition telescope in his hand, and soon caught the trace of this Japanese army.

The strength of this Japanese army is small, probably a reinforced squadron with more than 200 people.

Using the surrounding bunkers, the enemy cautiously approached the forward position of the Independence Battalion.

……

Jiaocheng Mountain Front Enemy Headquarters.

A major lieutenant officer hurried in from the outside.

All the sentries on duty knew him, so they didn't stop him. After saluting him, they let him go.

The major found Dong Shengwu, the former enemy headquarters, stood up and saluted him, and reported: "Reporter, according to the report of the forward scouts, a Japanese army is moving towards the main peak of Jiaocheng Mountain, the forward position of the Independent Battalion."

Sun Wanjiu next to him asked, "How many people are there in this Japanese army?"

The major said: "Mr. Sun, this Japanese army is in an infantry brigade, about 1200 people.

At present, there is a vanguard force that has strengthened the size of the squadron, and it has approached the position less than 2 kilometers away from the forward position of the independent battalion.

In addition, the Japanese army seems to have deployed an artillery position 5 kilometers northeast of Jiaocheng Mountain.

There are about ten 10mm caliber howitzers and more than ten 105mm caliber field guns. "

Dong Shengwu frowned: "The Japanese army did not attack the main peak of Jiaocheng Mountain all day today, but launched a fierce attack on our southeastern position.

It seems that it is an attempt to make a surprise attack, let us relax our vigilance against the main peak of Jiaocheng Mountain, and take the opportunity to sneak attack. "

Sun Wanjiu smiled and said: "Brother Dong, playing tricks, we Chinese are the ancestors of his little devil!

Just wait for the good news from the Independence Camp! "

Dong Shengwu said: "If it's just a devil from the infantry brigade, naturally it can't shake the independent battalion, but the key issue is that this time the Japanese army also deployed a field artillery brigade.

Not long ago, the Japanese army dispatched reconnaissance planes again, and maybe the Japanese army's aviation units will also be dispatched next.

Anyway, the other positions are safe for the time being. In order to be safe, should we send some more troops to Jiaocheng Mountain? "

Sun Wanjiu seemed to be full of confidence in Yang Lin and his independent battalion. He smiled and said, "Brother Dong, Consultant Yang's independent battalion is not fighting alone. Have you forgotten that the Eighth Route Army of those two regiments has already arrived at Jiaocheng Mountain?" .

What's more, the Japanese army has field artillery, and we don't have it?
The 8 howitzers deployed on Jiaocheng Mountain are not decorations either!
So, put your heart in your stomach. "

"OK then!"

Hearing what Sun Wanjiu said, Dong Shengwu could only give up the idea of ​​adding troops to the main peak of Jiaocheng Mountain.
