Shao Fei and Zhao Hongfei drove a jeep to the riverside. This time, they did not go to reconnoitre, but to inspect the situation of the Sichuan army by the river.

"You know how I've been mixed up in the past two years, this treatment~ As the Eighth Route Army, I fought all the battles of the national army."

Zhao Hongfei didn't seem to hear what Shao Fei was saying, the whole person was in a state of excitement, and he said excitedly while driving: "The jeep during the anti-Japanese period is really energetic, shaking and shaking, much stronger than that of our troops."

Shao Fei smiled and said, "Rare and strange."

Zhao Hongfei slapped the steering wheel with the palm of his hand, and the car made a "tick" sound, and then said: "Enough~ After going back, you must get one, and the troops must be modernized and mechanized!" By the way, what did you say just now, saying that you were eating inside and out, didn't the people from the Political Department ask you for tea? ”

"They are full of food and support, you have watched too many dramas. We fight wars every day, so we don't have time for this. However, the Song team is good to me, but unfortunately I went to Yan'an to study, and I don't know when I will come back? ”

"Which Song team?"

"Commander Song Shilun, you know,"

Zhao Hongfei thought for a moment and said, "I remember, the bald commander is a tiger general." It's a pity that he can't come back. ”

"What's going on? The War of Resistance has just begun. ”

Zhao Hongfei hesitated and said, "Think for yourself." Not only your Song team, but also the whirlwind general Han Xianchu of the 129th Division, as well as other middle and senior officers, were all transferred to study. I want to come back, hehe~ Let's talk about it after the anti-Japanese war is over. ”

"Cough~" Shao Fei sighed and said, "I understand."

It didn't take long for the two to come to the river. A major adjutant was notified by the division headquarters to come and greet him.

The major saluted, "Hello, you're the Falcon Commander."

After Zhao Hongfei got out of the car, he said: "Fame is big enough, the falcon is a bargain wherever it goes."

Shao Fei said: "Falcon, in the Fifth War Zone and the Ninth War Zone, you can mobilize a regiment."

"What does it stink? How to mobilize is also other people's troops, how can they have their own troops to use. ”

After speaking, Zhao Hongfei said to the major: "I need data." The number of your ships, the carrying capacity of your ships, the time of the round trip, the number of heavy weapons in your troops. Make a list for me. ”

"Okay, I'm going to do it."

"Let's go, let's go to the river first."

The major left quickly, and Shao Fei and Zhao Hongfei went to the riverside.

On the banks of the river, more than a dozen wooden boats have gathered, as well as a couple of kayaks. There is a battalion of troops stationed here.

Zhao Hongfei saw the surrounding equipment and said, "It is said that the Sichuan army is called the Huazi Army, I don't think it looks like it."

Shao Fei said: "Now that the light and heavy industries of the whole country are concentrated in Sichuan, how far can they be near the water. Have you ever seen a unit called Hanako, who wore single clothes, shorts, and straw sandals in the cold winter, and a division didn't even have a single artillery, only two heavy machine guns. The soldiers used old barrels from the last century, and the quality of the grenade was superior if it could explode. ”

"I know, I've read it in books. Especially in Shanxi, the fight was the most tragic. Therefore, among the local armies, the one I admire the most is the Sichuan army. ”

The two of them watched from the river. It didn't take long for the colonel to come over with a document and give it to Shao Fei, and Shao Fei transferred it directly to Zhao Hongfei.

Zhao Hongfei looked carefully, then looked at the width of the river and the general current, and then took out a pen and began to calculate on the paper.

After finishing the matter, Zhao Hongfei put away his pen and said on a whim: "Let's cross the river, we don't have to wait for Yi Ren and them."

"No problem."

After Shao Fei agreed, he said to the major: "Prepare a boat for us, and we will cross the river now."

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

The major left to prepare a wooden boat.

On the river, six soldiers rowed hard. Zhao Hongfei came to the stern of the boat and stretched out his hand to put it into the icy river water to test the flow rate of the water.

Coming to the opposite beach, it seems that this place has experienced a tragic battle, many artillery craters have not been filled, and the surrounding sand and soil are stained with blood. The terrain in this area is wide, and it can only be used for large-scale landing operations here.

Zhao Hongfei and Shao Fei each found a green military uniform to put on, and then scratched a few lines on their faces with the soil on the ground.

"I still yearn for the days of camouflage, and when the time comes, I will definitely ask all my troops to change into camouflage uniforms."

Along the way, Zhao Hongfei always mentioned how to build the army in the future, and it seems that he has a big plan and is ready to do a big job.

"After that, let's think about it now. We divide the labor, you are left and I am right. ”

Zhao Hongfei said with a smile: "Left and right, with you, this is all with me." ”

Shao Fei looked at a peak in the distance and said, "I didn't think about it so much, you thought too much about it." It gets dark two hours later, and we meet here four hours later. ”

"No problem."

After saying that, the two separated, and each launched a reconnaissance of the Japanese position in the east.

Shao Fei had been very concerned about the towering peak in the distance since he came ashore, so he walked towards that side.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Shao Fei came to this eye-catching mountain. This small mountain is erected here vertically like a pillar. Shao Fei visually measured that it was about 20 meters high, and the area above was less than 50 square meters, and the trees were luxuriant.

Shao Fei didn't even think about climbing up directly, climbing to the top, as a special soldier, it took him ten minutes, but he remembered the difficulty of climbing.

Immediately, Shao Fei used his telescope to look at the left flank position of the devil in the northeast, between 600 and 800 meters away. The Japanese position was located on the top of a hill, surrounded by an open earthen structure, with no shelter, and a grove of groves two hundred meters from the hillside. With a charge distance of 200 meters, I don't know how many Sichuan soldiers will die with Japanese firepower.

Just as Shao Fei went down, he said helplessly: "Grandma's, I forgot to bring the rope." ”

Anyone who climbs knows that it is easy to come up and difficult to go down, because they don't know what is under their feet.

It took Shao Fei another half an hour to come down. And just like that, an hour passed. Then, continue to infiltrate enemy positions and carry out reconnaissance.

The defensive structure of the Japanese positions on the left flank was a standard ring fortification. Along the slope from the bottom up, several layers of circular trenches were built. The range of fire between fortifications is staggered and overlapping. Artillery positions were arranged inside the heights to provide artillery support. Some protective measures have been constructed at each firing point.

After seeing this kind of fortification, Shao Fei couldn't help but think of a war history, the battle of Guanjiayuan. The four regiments of the Eighth Route Army could not defeat the 500 men of the Okazaki Brigade. This kind of fortification is exactly the same as Guanjiayuan, and the Sichuan army is facing an integrated brigade, more than 1,500 people, and three such positions. If you want to win the longevity store, the new fifth division must be disabled.

Now Shao Fei finally understood why Lu Kang was in such a hurry and took himself like a guest.

Immediately, Shao Fei launched a reconnaissance of the surrounding terrain and landforms. Indeed, as Lu Kang said, it is impossible to outflank and flank will not work. The plan that Lu Kang said before is also the only feasible plan, but the losses must be very heavy.

After three hours of reconnaissance, Shao Fei returned to his previous place, hoping that Zhao Hongfei would gain something. However, the results of Zhao Hongfei's reconnaissance were similar to his own, this kind of anti-triangle position was simply invulnerable, the two points were mutually defended, and the rear could provide support at will.

"Go back, we draw up a battle plan for attacking the left flank position."

The two returned to the headquarters by boat, preparing to draw up an effective plan for tackling tough battles overnight.
