The people in the headquarters were very surprised, and they all guessed the purpose of the Japanese army, but they couldn't guess it, and some people even said that there were treasures of the Japanese army hidden in the mountain, Jiang Desheng waved his hand to stop everyone's discussion, and said: "No matter what, we can't let the little devil pass, now the little devil is shooting smoke bombs on the high ground, and when there are more smoke screens, we will not be able to see it, so let's first knock out the cannons that the little devils fired smoke screens." ”

The staff officer said: "But we didn't see the Japanese artillery position!" The trajectory of the shells fired by the mortars is curved, so the mortars can be fired from behind buildings or mountains, and in my opinion, the artillery positions are hiding behind the 388 heights, blocked by the mountains, so we can't see them. ”

Jiang Desheng said: "Lin Shuai once said that people think that mortars are good in secrecy and are not easy to be discovered by the enemy, which is actually the biggest misunderstanding, the mortar shells have a slow rate of fire, a long flight time, and are easy to be found and tracked by the enemy's observation equipment. But there were a lot of brigade commanders and division commanders at that meeting, so I didn't dare to ask. Now that I know about such a thing as an artillery monitoring radar, let's get the artillery monitoring radar and test it well. ”

It turned out that the artillery monitoring radar was incorporated into the front-line troops by Lin Yuan after measuring the Japanese artillery positions, and the front-line troops could be called upon. ”

The staff officer said: "Regiment commander, no! ”

Jiang Desheng said loudly: "Why can't you do it? Give me a reason. ”

The staff officer said: "The radar troops are far away from here, and by the time they arrive, the smoke screen of the little devils has already covered the mountain, so that the enemy's infantry will go up to the 134th height!" ”

Jiang Desheng nodded and said, "Yes, what you said makes sense. Then we will order the infantry to go over and go up to Heights 134 first to see what is up there. After Jiang Desheng finished speaking, he ordered the reconnaissance company: "Use the fastest speed to seize the 134th height." ”

The reconnaissance company then set off in an off-road vehicle, and a few minutes later approached the 134th height, at which point the observer said: "Regiment commander, the Japanese army has another wave of people, this time these people are coming on horseback, and the speed is relatively fast. ”

As soon as the staff officer heard this, he said: "Regiment commander, these people came on horseback, which shows that the things on the high ground are very important to them!" ”

Jiang Desheng nodded and said: "That's right, then we have to figure out what it is, order the reconnaissance company, speed up and approach the high ground, order the artillery unit, use the fastest rate of fire to fire shells at the Japanese cavalry, be sure to stop them, notify the 240 guns, and fire together." ”

As soon as the 240-mm mortar joined the battle group, it immediately caused a great impact on the Japanese army, the original Japanese army was advancing rapidly in a dense formation, and the 240-mm artillery shells directly blew dozens of cavalry out of the army, and the Japanese troops behind hurriedly dispersed the formation at first sight, and it took a lot of time to disperse the formation, so the speed slowed down, and the reconnaissance company immediately ascended the 134 heights.

The commander of the reconnaissance company said to Jiang Desheng on the radio: "Report to the regiment commander, we have gone up to the high ground!" ”

Jiang Desheng said: "Very good, have you found anything?" ”

The commander of the reconnaissance company said: "There is nothing on the high ground!" ”

Jiang Desheng hurriedly said: "Nonsense! There was nothing on the high ground that the Japanese army had to make so much effort to get close, and so many people died. ”

As soon as Jiang Desheng finished saying this, he heard the voice of a small soldier from the reconnaissance company commander: "Report to the company commander, the little devil is up!" ”

The reconnaissance company commander hurriedly said, "Beat them down for me." Then he turned back to Jiang Desheng and said, "Commander, I'm going to fight the little devils, let's talk about it later." ”

After a short time, the reconnaissance company commander came back and said: "Regiment commander, the little devil let us run away!" But we still haven't noticed anything different in the mountains. ”

Jiang Desheng frowned and said, "This is the hell!" How can there be nothing? At this moment, I suddenly heard a small soldier on the reconnaissance company commander's side shouting: "Company commander, there is something!" ”

Jiang Desheng heard Xiao Bing's voice full of panic, and immediately asked, "What did you find?" ”

The reconnaissance company commander said, "Don't worry, I'll take a look." Jiang Desheng then only heard the sound of footsteps, and when he heard the reconnaissance company commander say in surprise: "We have found many holes, just on the mountain wall, about thirty centimeters in diameter, covered with weeds, and cannot be easily found. ”

Jiang Desheng hurriedly asked, "How deep are those holes?" What is it used for? Is there something in it? ”

The commander of the reconnaissance company said: "We put a branch in it to test it, it is almost half a meter deep, there is nothing in it, and we don't know what to do with it." ”

Jiang Desheng frowned and said to his subordinates: "It's strange, there are many holes in the mountain, it seems that the Japanese army is coming for them, what are these holes for?" ”

The staff officer rolled his eyes and said: "The Japanese army is digging a hole in the mountain, which must have something to do with the project, why don't we call Li Menghu, the commander of the division's engineering battalion, to ask?" ”

Jiang Desheng hurriedly said: "It makes sense! Hurry up and please. The staff officer then sent someone to invite Li Menghu, and during the time that Li Menghu came, the Japanese launched several more attacks on the 134th height, and the reconnaissance company repulsed them.

Li Menghu and the engineering battalion were in Lingxia Village, so it was not long before he came to the 423 Heights, after he came, he did not go up the mountain, but went directly to the 134 Heights, as soon as Li Menghu went up the mountain, he was taken by the reconnaissance company commander to the front of the mountain wall full of holes, Li Menghu took out a flashlight from his pocket, found a hole, turned on the flashlight, and looked inside.

The flashlight shined into the hole, Li Menghu looked into the cave by the flashlight, and suddenly saw something flashing in the hole, and then "whoosh" to himself, Li Menghu flashed suddenly, hid to the side, and scared the scouts around him to jump away two steps, picked up the gun in his hand, and pointed at the hole with the muzzle, Li Menghu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, everyone, a mouse." ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, they put down their guns one after another, Li Menghu picked up a branch from the ground, and then stretched it into the hole, and waited until the branch reached the end of the hole before taking out the branch, took out the tape measure he was carrying and measured the depth, and then squatted on the ground and wrote something on the snow with the branch.

The reconnaissance company commander on the side came over and asked, "Battalion Commander Li, what have you found?" ”

Li Menghu said: "The inner walls of these holes are very smooth, and they are definitely not made by animals, so the people who make these holes must be people, and they are drilled with a drilling machine, as for the use of these holes, I bet that they are filled with explosives!" ”

The reconnaissance company commander asked in surprise: "Loaded with explosives?" How do you see that? ”

Li Menghu smiled, raised the branch in his hand, and said with a smile: "I didn't see it, it was this branch that told me." ”
