Originally, Wang Guangyu, who went to Guanmenzuizi Mountain to see the position, so that he could arrange the defense after his own regiment took over, only when he saw Wang Xiaoming did he know that this guy had not thought about handing over the position at all. I didn't think about it at all, and continued to be passive. He had already anticipated it, and as soon as he waited for himself to come up, he began to fight back.

Regarding Wang Xiaoming's counterattack plan, Wang Guangyu was dumbfounded. He understood what Wang Xiaoming meant, this guy wanted to take advantage of the time difference when the main force of the 104th Division was still on the road, and defeat or even eat all the 108th Wing in front of him in one go.

After listening to Wang Xiaoming's counterattack plan, Wang Guangyu pondered for a moment and said: "Old Wang, the battalion you have on hand has basically been exhausted now, and it is no longer enough for a company. And I have only two battalions of troops at hand. The Japanese army on the opposite side could have a whole wing. Even if there are a lot of casualties in the battle against you, there should be at least two more brigades. ”

"Even according to the standard of the first battle of Qunce Mountain, a regiment of our army can completely annihilate the Japanese army and a reinforced brigade. But that was also when the firepower was overwhelmingly superior. I didn't have mountain artillery on hand, and the mortar company and infantry battery directly under the regiment were still on the way. It's impossible to get there in at least two hours. ”

"According to our current strength and firepower structure, even if we barely eat this 108th Wing, our army will suffer more than half of the casualties. At that time, what strength will we use to defend the fortress of Xingshan? We only have half a catty of stomach now, how can we eat eight taels of food in one go? ”

"In addition to leaving Du Kaishan's three regiments and a reinforced mountain artillery battalion in Qunce Mountain, the commander is commanding the headquarters and all the troops that can be transferred, and even the recruits of the supplementary regiment who have just been trained for less than a month have pulled out the eggs. The field artillery battalion of the artillery regiment directly under it has been strengthened, and it is moving here under the stars and nights. ”

"We don't know who will be the first to get here between the follow-up troops under the command of the commander and the main force of the 104th Division. As soon as our losses were too great, and the 104th Division arrived ahead of the follow-up troops brought by the commander. By that time, we had no strength at all, and we were facing the two wings behind the 104th Division. ”

Wang Guangyu is not cowardly, nor does he not want to eat this 108 Wing. But with the limited forces at hand, he did not dare to risk throwing all the two battalions he had at hand into it all at once. Once the casualties were too heavy during the attack, the follow-up troops could not arrive in time. In the face of two wings of Japanese troops, this fortress of Xingshan could no longer be held.

Seeing that Wang Guangyu was a little hesitant, Wang Xiaoming stuffed the telescope in his hand into his hand and said, "Old Wang, look at the corpses of Japanese soldiers all over the mountains. One of my battalions plus four independent companies are almost all gone, but the casualties of the little devils will definitely not be light. Not counting the dead and wounded who have been dragged back, the corpses that have not had time to be dragged back on this mountain alone are more than a squadron. ”

"I guess it's good that the little devil can barely get together two brigades now. But if he puts the forces of these two brigades on the front line, will he still flank him? Without the flank covering troops, would they really be able to attack boldly and boldly? No matter how arrogant the little devils are, they will not be so arrogant as to fight in this mountainous area, not even flank cover. ”

"You don't have artillery, but I still have the strength of a mountain artillery company. Not counting mortars, infantry guns, and four mountain guns, there are plenty of shells. No matter how difficult it was before, I never used it. As long as our counterattack begins, my artillery can wipe out the devil's artillery in the first place. ”

"Although I can't piece together a whole company on hand, I still have nearly a thousand rescued prisoners of war on my head. Although these prisoners of war are still weak, they are all veterans, and this technique and tactics are not said. To be honest, the devil attacked the last time just now, and I used these people to suppress it. Without them, just with the majority of my remaining company, this closed door would have been lost a long time ago. ”

"The most important thing is that the devil doesn't know that we have two full infantry battalions of reinforcements yet. And there are also two battalions of reinforcements that are about to arrive. Lao Wang, our regiment commander is rushing here with two battalions from Hebei at the speed of a forced march. Even if we have too many casualties to afford the follow-up battle. But in Xingshan, we can completely hand over the two battalions led by Liu Changshun. ”

"Surprised, I pressed down from the front, and you kicked hard from the flank, and at the same time sent a force to detour behind them, blocking the route of his reinforcements into the mountains."

"Even if you can't eat them in one bite, it won't be a problem to defeat them. You can see that their main attention is focused on the front, and although he has some covering forces on both flanks, he has only one squadron. If your two battalions with plenty of ammunition and light and heavy firepower can't even fight this, it will be a real disgrace to the commander. ”

Regarding Wang Xiaoming's agitation method, Wang Guangyu frowned but did not succeed. He has always been steady, and he doesn't know about Wang Xiaoming, an old comrade-in-arms who once partnered in a division when he was working in the Fifth Army, how can he not know this little oil and water in his stomach? Although he disagreed with his opinion, the news that Liu Changshun's two battalions were about to arrive made him somewhat moved.

After holding a telescope and carefully observing the position of the 108th Wing of the Japanese Army for a long time, Wang Guangyu put down the telescope in his hand and carefully weighed the feasibility of Wang Xiaoming's plan in his heart.

The 108th Wing was very arrogant, although the previous attack hit the head and broke the blood. But so far no artillery fire has been found on the opponent other than grenadiers. So outside the effective range of the defenders' heavy machine guns, a blazing bonfire was lit. On the one hand, it is used for lighting and heating, and on the other hand, it is incinerating the bodies of the war dead.

The lighting on the Japanese positions and the blazing bonfires that cremated the bodies of the war dead illuminated the entire Japanese position. Wang Guangyu easily observed the real situation on the Japanese side.

Looking at the defenseless Japanese position, Wang Guangyu hesitated for a long time, and after making up his mind, he gritted his teeth and said to Wang Xiaoming beside him: "Okay, Lao Wang, I will listen to you this time, and we will work together to fight a battle without his orders." Even if you can't eat this 08 team, at least you have to bite off a piece of his meat. ”

Determined to fight back, the two of them immediately squatted in the trench and began to plan in detail. As for the 108th Wing on the opposite side, they have already been exhausted. After the last attack was defeated, there was no strength left to attack at least tonight.

As for the terrain from the front of Guanmenzuizi Mountain to Xingshan Street, it has long been familiar in Wang Xiaoming's heart. After listening to Wang Xiaoming's explanation of the terrain around the Japanese position, Wang Guangyu muttered for a while and said: "Xiaoming, we are all from the Fifth Army, and you served as a political commissar in the Third Division before you were transferred to the headquarters as deputy chief of staff. ”

"When I was the commander of the Second Division before I was transferred to the deputy commander of the Fourth Army, I remember that you were the chief of staff of the Second Division at that time. We have partnered together, although it has not been for a long time, but we are all acquaintances who know the roots. We don't tell lies in front of real people, the important thing in this battle is not this 108th Wing, but their follow-up troops. ”

"You have already interrogated the wounded soldiers captured by the Japanese in guò, and you know that they have at least two more wings rushing here. That is to say, before we counterattack, we must block the mountain pass from Xingshan Street to the north with the strength of a force. And the position in which this force is located is the most important position in this counterattack. ”

"On the one hand, they want to block the breakthrough road of the 108th Wing. Before the end of the battle, the mountain pass should be firmly guarded, and the main force of the 104th Division could not be allowed to enter the mountain. Otherwise, once we have a fierce battle with this 108th Wing, the main force of the 104th Division will pounce from behind, and it will be a catastrophe for us. ”

For Wang Guangyu's extremely accurate focus, Wang Xiaoming agrees very much. In the end, it's an old guy, and you can see the key at a glance. But how many troops to send is the most headache for the two of them. There are too many factions, which will affect the strength of the 108th Wing that is facing the encirclement and annihilation. There were fewer factions, and there were still two full wings of troops behind the Japanese army.

Although both of them are veterans of the battlefield, both sides saw the hesitation in each other's eyes in this matter. They all knew what kind of situation would be the situation waiting for this unit stationed at the mountain pass to cut off the retreat of the 108th Wing once the main force of the Japanese army arrived. It is good to say that it is good to be weak and strong, but in fact, it is simply an internal and external attack.

This difficult choice made the two people who were in full swing just now fall into a somewhat awkward silence. After a long time, Wang Xiaoming gritted his teeth and said, "Old Wang, since the main force here now is your troops. So I'll take half of my patchwork army with me to cut off the devil's retreat. ”

"Their bodies have not yet recovered, and they may not be able to rush when they charge. But there is still no problem in hitting and blocking, but in order to save their bodies, you give me all the horses in your regiment. As for my remaining company, and the remaining half of the people, plus the platoon that is still in the Xingshan Fortress, they will all give you a counterattack. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaoming stopped Wang Guangyu, who was about to speak, and said, "Old Wang, we don't have much time to hesitate. It takes an extra minute here, and the main force of the 104th Division is one step closer to Xingshan Street from here. We have to fight for a bit of time, and the sooner we can fight back, the better. ”

"I estimate that as long as we can defeat the 108th Wing in this battle, then the initiative in this battle with Xingshan Fortress as the core will be firmly in our own hands. Even if we lose the first line of Guanmenzuizi Mountain, after Liu Changshun arrived, relying on the various permanent fortifications built by the Japanese army on the mountain, there is absolutely no problem in holding the position mountain. ”

"Let's not talk about whether the recruits brought by the commander can arrive on time, as long as we drag until the main force of Liu Changshun's second regiment arrives, the victory of this battle and even the battle of the northward advance can be said to be in hand."

Knowing what the price of Wang Xiaoming's departure is, it is even possible to bear the price of the destruction of the entire army. But Wang Guangyu, who knew that what Wang Xiaoming said was not wrong, finally nodded after a slight hesitation. However, he still repeatedly advised: "Lao Wang, don't die on the top, you must follow what the commander usually teaches, the firepower is heavy before and the rear is light, and the troops are heavy in front, and use the terrain to resist step by step." ”

"And this time I brought 200 electric mines made by our arsenal, and I will hand them over to you. By the way, there are also fifty weapons called infantry directional mines that the commander personally designed and supervised, and I will also hand them over to you. My guard class has learned how to operate this weapon, and you can bring it with you. ”

In addition to mines, infantry directional mines, and all the horses, seeing that Wang Xiaoming lacked heavy weapons, and only two light machine guns were left, Wang Guangyu transferred three more heavy machine guns to him. At the same time, from the ammunition he carried, he replenished fifty rounds of ammunition for each of his miscellaneous troops, and replenished four grenades.

Time was pressing, for Wang Guangyu's generosity, Wang Xiaoming did not refuse, he knew that with the motley army of only 500 people on his hands, once the main force of the 104th Division rushed up, he would probably not be able to stop the opponent's two attacks. With these additional weapons and ammunition, even if the Japanese army came up one wing at a time, at least there was no problem in holding out until dawn.

After receiving the weapons and ammunition transferred by Wang Guangyu, Wang Xiaoming gave Wang Guangyu a standard military salute, and he didn't even have time to accept Wang Guangyu's return gift, so he hurriedly set off with the team.

Looking at Wang Xiaoming's back disappearing into the night, Wang Guangyu, who knew that they would not be able to get the murderous and auspicious, frowned tightly, and sighed after a long silence: "Old comrade-in-arms, take care." You must come back alive. ”

The urgency of time did not give Wang Guangyu much time to sigh. After the roundabout troops led by Wang Xiaoming completely disappeared into the night, they immediately began to deploy nervously. He wants to get this 108 team as fast as possible. to alleviate the pressure that Wang Xiaoming's side will face.
