"I can finally understand Brother Fan's mood now!" Li Weimin looked at the mighty Japanese troops in the distance and sighed.

When the Japanese army attacked Taihang Mountain for the first time, the number of little devils was comparable to the number of Japanese troops faced by the second regiment this time, but Li Weimin, as the commander of the second regiment at that time, did not realize the problems they faced, because the burden of the 33rd Independent Division was all on Liao Fan alone, and now Li Weimin finally had the opportunity to face the original situation, and he finally realized that the pressure Liao Fan was facing at the beginning and the current independent 33rd Division is really in a moment of life and death.

The Japanese troops outside the Beitai Peak Pass did not rush to act, but began to camp outside the Beitai Peak Pass, obviously the commander of the little devil had realized that this battle would not be over in an hour or two, otherwise there would be no need to gather so many troops, he had already made a long-term plan.

On the periphery of the Beitai Peak Pass, the commander of the little devils is already very familiar, because they have suffered several losses here, of course he has to be careful, set up camp, and then look for a water source to solve it, this strange hot weather, in case of a collective heat stroke, this battle will not have to be fought, and then the Chinese army will come to their camp to take over.

Knowing that he was still screaming endlessly, with this hot weather, it was inevitable that a sense of irritability would arise in people's hearts, Li Weimin observed the little devil's every move with a telescope on a mountain, and when he saw the little devil start to set up camp, Li Weimin had to admire the vision of the little devil commander in his heart.

"Commander, does the little devil want to finish the confrontation with us?"

Li Weimin smiled lightly: "Be patient, the purpose of the little devils is to destroy us, they won't live here, even if the commander of the little devils is willing to stay, his superiors don't want to watch the 30,000 army do nothing in the field." ”

"Order all troops to keep fighting at all times, and tell us that the two battalions on the flank, we can't fight hard, if we really can't hold it, let the little devils surround us, anyway, we have hoarded enough ammunition and food, and we and the little devils will still consume it!"

Since the separation of the Second Regiment, Li Weimin has done two things, one is to dig fortifications and build an underground Great Wall according to Liao Fan's orders, and the second thing is also the most common thing that the Independent 33rd Division does, that is, hoarding materials, and it is an endless hoarding of materials, both of which are related to the life and death of the Independent 33rd Division, Li Weimin does not dare to be careless.

The position of Beitaifeng has now been transformed "beyond recognition" by the Second Regiment. The entire underground fortification is like a labyrinth, the soldiers of the second regiment of Xinqi are already familiar with it, and it is estimated that even if the little devils take the surface position of Beitai Peak, when they come to the underground fortifications of Beitai Peak, it is estimated that the little devils will get lost.

While Li Weimin was looking at the Japanese troops who were busy repairing the camp outside the mountain pass, the commander of the Japanese army on the Shanxi side was also looking at Taihang Mountain with a telescope. At this time, Taihang Mountain was peaceful and tranquil, full of lush trees, maybe because the weather was too hot, maybe because the surrounding environment was too noisy, the commander of the little devil did not hear the sound of knowing or birds.

Looking at the mountains in front of him and far away in the sky, the commander of the little devil was not much excited or excited, he also wanted to make contributions or serve the Japanese Empire, but the mountains in front of him were unfathomable, and on the surface they looked very quiet, a little bit of this tranquility was broken, I don't know how many people would fall at the mountain pass.

In the hot weather, the commander of the little devil was not idle, the camp had been built in the shortest possible time, his headquarters was the most luxurious and luxurious tent in the whole camp, and it was built in the shade, and now he summoned all the military commanders under his command, and began to discuss the question of who would take the lead in the afternoon.

……

The soldiers of the third regiment were still nested in that unknown ravine, and the scorching sun was shining, so many people were crowded in a small ravine, and the soldiers were already sweating profusely. The warriors looked at the remaining water in the kettle and kept swallowing the saliva that was already there.

The hot weather surprised everyone, including Hu Guoshan, and in just one morning, the soldiers almost drank all the water they had brought with them. Even so, the soldiers had to endure it, and Hu Guoshan ordered that no one should leave without permission. Now the Taihang Mountains are full of scouts of little devils, and once they are exposed, all the plans will be wasted.

"Lao Zhao, you patrol with a platoon of soldiers, you can't have any problems at this time!" Hu Guoshan said to Zhao Caizhu.

Zhao Caizhu understood what Hu Guoshan meant, now there are still Japanese spies lurking in the third regiment, once these spies riot, they will expose the target, the top priority is to buy time, as long as it is night, the problems they are facing now will be solved.

The situation that the Third Regiment is now facing is the most dangerous one faced by the entire Independent 33rd Division, although the large force of the little devils has passed, but once they are discovered by the scouts of the little devils, the large force of the little devils will be transferred back, and now they have no danger to defend, fighting in such a small area, the third regiment will not be able to hold out for long at all.

After Zhao Caizhu took the soldiers away, Hu Guoshan covered the sun with his hands and looked at the sun overhead, how complicated and complicated the situation they are facing now, the current weather has become the enemy they are facing, and the soldiers are now persevering.

Liao Fan looked at the intelligence from all sides in the command headquarters, this is the result of the soldiers' reconnaissance, at noon, the vanguard of the Japanese army has gradually approached their station, to Liao Fan is happy, the little devil's baggage troops are still far behind, and there is no trace of Japanese planes in the sky so far.

At this time, Liao Fan was not worried about the situation of the first and fourth regiments, the first and fourth regiments had fortifications above their heads, and there was enough water in the station, so there was no need to worry about the overheated weather causing the soldiers to suffer from heat stroke, resulting in non-combat attrition.

What Liao Fan is worried about now is the troops that are wandering outside, of course, including the special combat team that has disappeared without a trace and the troops led by Jin Sanshan, who are separated from the troops to fight, there is no logistical supply, the limited supply can only come from combat capture, and the wounded cannot be well cared for. In such hot weather, the fighters faced not only a lack of water, but also diseases and wound infections.

Similarly, the 100,000-strong army of the Japanese army faced this situation, and the little devils had to slow down the pace of the march. The Japanese army did not rush to march at noon and began to bury pots and cook. And Liao Fan ordered a regiment to dispatch some soldiers to start harassing the troops of the little devils entering the mountain.

"Bang" a gunshot broke the silence in the mountains, and all the Japanese soldiers picked up their guns and watched around vigilantly. A little devil was looking for a water source when he was hit by a Chinese soldier hiding in the shadows, and before he could pour the water into his mouth, he lay headlong in the water source he had just found, and the grass near the water source was stained red with blood......

So the Japanese army began to have a headache, when they were looking for water, there were Chinese troops shooting cold guns, when they were cooking and eating, when they were going to the toilet, the Chinese army was still shooting cold guns, the little devils were annoyed, but they had nothing to do in the face of this scoundrel way of fighting. Everywhere there were ambushes of gunners of the Chinese army, taking the lives of the little devils when they were unprepared.

In order to reduce casualties on the march, the Japanese commanders ordered to brave the scorching heat, and as long as they completed the encirclement of the Chinese army, these cold gunners hiding in the shadows would inevitably not be able to continue fighting alone.

The Japanese plan really worked, and as the encirclement of the 33rd Independent Division continued to shrink, the cold gunners hiding in the shadows gradually lost their room to move. Liao Fan's plan to kill the enemy with a cold gun had to be declared over two hours after the start, and the soldiers returned to their fortifications to prepare for the next battle.

Liao Fan of the command headquarters glanced at his watch, it was already half past three in the afternoon at this time, and the little devil had completed the preliminary encirclement plan, but the encirclement of such a small place by 100,000 troops was obviously a bit of an overkill, so the commander of the Japanese army began to arrange the surplus troops to start the sweep before dark.

Obviously, the commander of the little devils did not arrange today's offensive plan, because their baggage troops were still far behind, there was a lack of sufficient roads in the Taihang Mountains, especially the wider roads, the Japanese cars had no role at all, and their armored vehicles and tanks could only be parked in the county town.

After completing the initial encirclement, the Japanese only waited for their artillery, as long as the artillery was in place, they could attack at any time.

At the front of the first line of defense, Ma Wanzhong used a telescope to look at the Japanese army in the distance encampment, judging from the current situation, the little devil has no intention of attacking, but Ma Wanzhong did not dare to have the slightest carelessness, he asked the troops to keep an eye on it, in case the little devil's commander's brain was confused by the sun today, and he attacked desperately, then he Ma Wanzhong would capsize in the gutter.

"Old Ma, how's the situation going? There are a lot of Japanese troops in the first line of heaven, 10,000 people! Liu Chundao ran into Ma Wanzhong's underground headquarters and reported to him the situation of the Japanese army in the direction of the first line of heaven.

"Look at it!" Ma Wanzhong handed the telescope to Liu Chundao, "According to the size of the little devil's camp, there are about 30,000 to 40,000 Japanese troops in front of us, and the remaining tens of thousands of Japanese troops may go to sweep up." ”

Ma Wanzhong knows that the sweep of the little devils is everywhere, the chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep of the common people, this is the main target of their sweep, and they have already notified the people in advance to transfer.

"There's no way, the little devils have a clear numerical advantage, if I have so many troops, I will definitely not let them be idle." Liu Chundao used binoculars to look at the little devil's camp seriously.

"The little devils are locusts now, and there is no grass in the places they pass!" Ma Wanzhong said with emotion.
