Age of Rebirth

Chapter 61 Battle at Eagle Mouth Ridge ([-])

Tang Qiuli just wanted to call together the commanders at all levels to study the matter of the Guizi Matsuda Regiment. Seeing that they had all come, he hurriedly bid farewell to his father, second uncle, third uncle, and Uncle Zhang, and repeatedly urged, Be sure to keep it secret, and don't let any unreliable outsiders know that the folks in Tangjiawopu helped the Blood Hands deliver supplies, so as to prevent the devils from retaliation.

He had to be more careful, Tang's nest shop was his root and his heart, if something happened, even if he won countless battles and wiped out countless devils, he would not be able to make up for such losses, and it would become The eternal pain in his heart!

The commanders of the Bloody Hands got together and held the first plenary meeting after occupying Sanchahe in an empty room.

First, Qiusheng reported his situation, nothing else. The biggest gain was that after the prison was opened, more than 2000 prisoners were released. Except for some ordinary people, who had already taken the travel expenses given by the army to go home, there were More than 600 people insisted on following the army. Most of them were soldiers from the Northeast Army, many students, and outsiders. Among them, there were more than 40 beards, who were said to be arrested for beating devils. [

What interested Tang Qiuli the most was that there were more than 20 political prisoners. He said it was the Communist Party, and Qiusheng didn't know what the Communist Party was. However, these political prisoners were the most severely guarded and received the most severe punishment. .

Qiusheng didn't know, but Tang Qiuli knew in his heart that the Communist Party members of this era are all good-looking, with firm revolutionary beliefs and lofty ideals, no high-ranking officials and rich salary, majestic and majestic, with their heads pinned to their waistbands To make a revolution, everyone is a kindling, a little dry wood can be burned, and a treasure is picked up.

Liu Tiehan and Feng Jiwu’s harvest here can be regarded as a rewarding return. Japanese stores, homes, and shops, don’t care about oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tobacco, alcohol, sugar, tea, daily necessities, etc. Wait, fully implement the commander's intention, completely come to the "three lights", and directly bring the Japanese businessmen who made a fortune by plundering and bullying the market after they came to the ground in China to a state of absolute poverty. The underpants he was wearing and the dentures in his mouth. Of course, the dentures were gold, so there was nothing left.

After the two reported their report, they felt a little worried. How could they transport so many things back to the mountains?

Here, Zhang Quan couldn't hold back for a long time. He is in his 40s, and the wrinkles on his face are open. He really does whatever he does. He mainly draws people from all walks of life, such as tailors and tofu shops. They even mobilized a whole family of hospitals run by Chinese people, including the director, doctors and nurses. As for medicines, medical equipment and so on, regardless of traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, they were all taken away or bought. He also said triumphantly that the logistics stand has finally been set up this time!

Wang Xu is relatively calm, but he keeps cleaning his glasses happily. His biggest achievement is that there is a small arsenal of the devils here. The people who came down were all Chinese. After careful inquiry, they turned out to be workers from the Fengtian Armory. They were forced to come here. After Wang Xu’s mobilization, they all followed the team. Now they are busy dismantling machines and installing equipment. , Said that even a screw was not left for the little devil.

In addition to these, Wang Xu is also a careful person. He took away all the machines, equipment, and raw materials that could be used by the base. It really allowed him to find a set of small hydroelectric power generation equipment. What's the use?Anyway, the base is useful.

Like Liu Tiehan, he was a little worried. How could so many machines and equipment be transported back to the mountains, especially those sets of large machine tools, which could not fit on a single sledge. No, he came to ask everyone for advice!

Everyone immediately started discussions around the key issue of transportation.

Not to mention, a solution was quickly figured out, and all the livestock and sledges in the town, including those captured, were used to transport supplies. It happened that more than 600 people who had just been released immediately joined the transport team. Qiusheng, Wang Xu, Zhang Quan, and Xiaoling formed the transportation headquarters, who were fully responsible for the transportation issues, and the commander no longer asked about it. As for the large machine tools, the eight large sledges were respectively fixed under the machine tools. It became a super-large sledge, pulled by four horses, and it could also carry and decorate other things.

Tang Qiuli made a secret estimate. Even so, all the materials would be transported away at around twelve o'clock tonight at the earliest. Time is the most important thing now. arrived.

After pondering this, Tang Qiuli began to think about the harvest this time. With this harvest, it can support the consumption of a team of about 5000 people within two years. To 3000 people, this battle was so enjoyable, he laughed secretly in his heart, after his own search, Sanchahe's economic foundation has been set back by at least ten years, let the little devils worry about it!

Just when the meeting was coming to an end and everyone was about to split up, a scout ran in sweating profusely, and whispered something in Qiuquan's ear?

After a while, Qiuquan told everyone that the scouts who stayed in Songjiang City to monitor the Devil's Matsuda Regiment had received accurate news that more than 3000 people from the Devil's Matsuda Regiment came out this morning in full force and rushed to Sancha River, all of them turned into mules and horses. The march, along with two tanks and four armored vehicles, had been out of town for over an hour now.

Tang Qiuli heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Qiuquan's report on the enemy's situation. It's good to know the devil's actions, otherwise, his heart will always slip.

Next, the focus of the meeting shifted to how to fight the Devils Matsuda United.

This is the first time since the establishment of the Anti-Japanese Bloody Hands that they have faced off against a large army of devils head-on, and it is a head-to-head battle. Don't be careless. If there is one link that is not considered, the troops will suffer heavy losses, and even the entire army may be wiped out. .

Tang Qiuli immediately made specific arrangements.

The arsenal, hospital and logistics personnel immediately followed the transport team back to the base, and transferred [-] team members to be responsible for escort and security. [

Qiu Quan led the temporarily assigned team members and all the reconnaissance teams, a total of 150 people, and set off immediately to the only way from Songjiang City to the Sancha River. Weapons should be equipped with sharpshooters, and you should not fight recklessly. When necessary, cover the main force to retreat safely.

The transportation command must transport all the materials into the mountain before eleven o'clock tonight. It can be transported in sections to speed up the transportation rhythm. The materials that cannot be transported can be blown up. The members decided that the members of the headquarters will evacuate the Sancha River with the last batch of transport teams.

Tang Qiuli, Liu Tiehan, Feng Jiwu, and Shanhu, with three hundred strong soldiers, were responsible for blocking the devils. All troops were equipped with automatic weapons to maintain the density of firepower. In addition, twenty sharpshooters followed the troops, mainly Snipe the devil commander.

At this time, Xiaoling hesitated, hesitated to speak, and kept looking at him with her big beautiful eyes. Tang Qiuli understood what this girl was thinking, she wanted to stay with him, it would work!Leaving aside the injury on her arm, one can imagine the cruelty of this blocking battle. What she was facing was a devil's field team. Are you kidding me?

He stopped Xiaoling's thoughts with stern eyes, and told her that transportation is equally important, and taking care of the work she is responsible for is the greatest support for me. After hearing this, Xiaoling had no choice but to give up this idea. This girl also understood in her heart, At this time, try not to cause trouble for Qiuli. The affectionate kiss before parting, the worry and concern in his eyes made Tang Qiuli's heart tremble. There is room for the lovers.

After making these arrangements, it was already nine o'clock in the morning. Tang Qiuli had no time to say goodbye to his father and the others, so he set off with the troops.

Yingzui Ridge, located [-] miles south of Sancha River, is the only way to get in and out of Sancha River. Of course, there is another way, but it takes two days longer than Yingzui Ridge. Therefore, Matsuda United In order to get to Sanchahe as soon as possible, we must take this road.

The terrain of Yingzui Ridge is dangerous, ten miles uphill and ten miles downhill. A large driveway winds through the ridge. There are towering cliffs on both sides, dense pine forests and bushes. It looks like an eagle's mouth from a distance. Therefore, the local People named it Yingzui Ridge, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is a good place for ambushes.

After Tang Qiuli arrived at this place with his troops, he immediately deployed his troops. Fifty soldiers were arranged on the cliffs on both sides. Arrange three heavy machine guns, as for light machine guns, there is almost one hand, anyway, there are plenty of them in the devil army station, so there is no need to use them for nothing.

The remaining [-] team members were all arranged at the highest point on the ridge, like a gate, firmly cutting off the main driveway. Tang Qiuli arranged all the mortars on the frontal position, behind the main position , Set up an artillery position, enough medicine, enough for a devil to drink a pot.

However, when building a frontal blocking position, the soldiers encountered difficulties. It was icy and snowy, and the ground was frozen harder than a rock. When they dug up the snow and went down with a pick, the soldiers' hands were numb from the shaking, leaving a white spot!But the soldiers were embarrassed, and they couldn't build a position. Facing the ferocious firepower of the devils, they were at a disadvantage!What should I do?

Tang Qiuli also felt embarrassed. Suddenly, he had an idea and thought of a brilliant idea.

Ask the team members to pick up a large amount of wood, burn it on the ground, boil the frozen soil, melt a layer, dig a layer down, and pile the excavated soil in front of the trench to make a parapet and set up a few large pots. Melt the snow, wait for the snow water to cool, and then pour it on the snow and soil piled up, just like the sky in Kanto, it can be poured and frozen as it is, and the storage is stronger than reinforced concrete.

The soldiers got busy, and they all knew that this was a life-saving business. After a while, it was just here to resist the devil's artillery, so how dare you not try your best? Secretly praising the commander is smart and wise!

Taking advantage of the excitement, I dug a few more shelters, covered them with a thick pine canopy, covered them with branches, poured snow, and then poured water, layer by layer, even if the plane bombed.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, a complete blocking position was completed. The traffic trench was connected to the main position. Many anti-gun holes were dug inside the trench. The road in front of the position was splashed with water by the soldiers, making it slippery like There is an ice skating rink, the breast wall has a certain slope, mainly to eliminate the armored vehicles of the devils, and even the positions on the cliffs have built anti-gun holes.

Against the devil's tanks and armored vehicles, Tang Qiuli specially asked the soldiers to install a lot of Molotov cocktails, that is, to get an empty wine bottle, fill it with gasoline, and leave a splinter outside. This thing is very effective against tanks and armored vehicles, Tang Qiuli Inspired by the classic battles in the Soviet-German battlefield during World War II, I came up with such an idea.

Everything was ready, and it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. Zhang Quan arranged for someone to bring a sumptuous dinner, with enough fish and meat, and also prepared three days of dry food for each soldier.

Regarding this point, Tang Qiuli was secretly surprised. Why didn't he think of it? Zhang Quan considered the problem comprehensively. The team he led might have to play guerrilla warfare with devils in the next few days. These leaders in my army are not easy!

After the soldiers had enough to eat and drink, they wrapped themselves in fur coats and hid in the bomb hole for a nap. After a while, the battle might be so fierce, so they seized the time to be dazed for a while, and regained their energy, so that they could beat the Japanese devils hard.

At this time, several commanders had a dispute. Both Liu Tiehan and Feng Jiwu are veterans who have experienced battles. They understand this kind of positional warfare and know that it is the most dangerous place. They must lead the team to do it. The commander who was blocking the frontal attack, in a word, let the commander go up the cliffs on both sides. The reason is that the commander is the highest commander and cannot tolerate any mistakes. Tang Qiuli understands their kindness, but the most dangerous place can be left behind. For your comrades in arms?

As a result of the dispute, Liu Tiehan and Feng Jiwu went to the cliffs on both sides to command the battle, and he and Shan Hu stayed in the frontal blocking position to take charge of the command. According to Shan Hu's opinion, he should be left alone, and the commander does not need to stay. On the front, Tang Qiuli certainly couldn't agree. How could he be willing to let his good brother bear the danger alone? In the end, they each went to command positions according to Tang Qiuli's deployment. [

The sun had already set, and twilight began to cover the land. Tang Qiuli stood on the commanding heights, holding a telescope, and carefully observed the opposite driveway. After watching for a while, there was no movement, and he turned his gaze to the Sancha River behind him.

The town is still lit up, and a long dragon of lights winds its way into the mountains. Qiu Sheng and the others are rushing to transport supplies.

The night was getting thicker, the wind was blowing, the pines were blowing, and the biting cold air was blowing up on the ground. Suddenly, Tang Qiuli's keen spiritual sense caught a trace of movement, and it came from the opposite side faintly.

He used the binoculars to stare at the direction of the abnormal movement. Shanhu hurriedly lay down on the ground, pressed his ears to the ground, and listened carefully. After a while, he quickly got up and said to Tang Qiuli: "Commander Long, here we come!"

Just as Shanhu finished speaking, there was a faint roar of an engine.

After a while, the sound of the engine became clearer. In the lens of Tang Qiuli's telescope, a little light appeared, followed by one, two o'clock. , The lights gradually formed a line, like a poisonous snake, meandering towards this side, and then, the roar of the engine clearly entered the ears of all the team members.

Matsuda United, you are finally here, everyone is ready for battle, Tang Qiuli gave the order.

The soldiers stared at the fangs and claws of the poisonous snake, clutching the guns in their hands tightly.
