Chapter 173, Anxious Veteran Cadre

The Red Cliff Top area refers to a narrow valley road.

Among them, the distance from Hegou to Xihenan Town is about thirteen kilometers.

The ravine is narrow and quite dangerous, and the high ground on both sides is convenient for concealed deployment of troops, displaying firepower and launching assaults. It is an ideal battlefield for ambushes.

The brigade commander had previously made observations in person and introduced him to several regiments participating in the battle.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie are no strangers to it.

On the Shanxi Plateau in September, the autumn wind is rustling, the vegetation is yellowing, and the leaves are falling.

The two stood on the east side of the top of the red cliff, an unobtrusive hill, to check the situation.

Ding Wei was standing, while Kong Jie was kneeling on the grass next to him. The two held up binoculars and observed the ten-mile-long ditch.

But I saw that there was no one in the ditch, and on the cliffs on both sides, there were only withered trees and yellow grass.

The two couldn't help smiling at each other when they saw that the troops were completely concealed and completely integrated with the vegetation of the mountains.

The soldiers standing aside raised their cameras without losing the opportunity and took a picture of fighting side by side.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie are also old comrades who fought side by side, and they can cooperate tacitly without saying anything.

The two of them are also veteran cadres who have experienced many battles, and their grasp of fighter opportunities is very precise.

Originally, Ding Weixin's second regiment should be west of Liao County at this time, but he thought that the enemy in Heshun County would quickly reinforce, so the troops moved to the north of Liao County.

Even without the brigade commander's order, he would enter the Red Clifftop area to set up an ambush.

The brigade commander's order was appropriate, and the mobilization of his troops was put on a reasonable cloak.

Kong Jie's independent regiment was originally tasked with blocking the reinforcements from Heshun County to the north of Liao County.

Therefore, the two met in the Red Cliff Top area.

The old comrades met and exchanged a few pleasantries, then immediately entered the role to discuss the cooperation of the ambush.

Kong Jie has been thinking about it for two days, and he has also conducted field surveys, so he knows the topography of the Red Cliff very well.

"Red Cliff Top is really an ideal place to ambush the enemy," he said.

Among them, the river ditch to Xihe Nanzhen is a narrow channel from northeast to southwest.

The most dangerous terrain is the interruption of the ditch, which is more than ten kilometers long and tens of feet deep.

Only one car can pass under the ditch, and there are very few places where the wrong car can pass.However, the banks of the North and South Ditches are relatively flat mountains, and our troops happened to be ambushing here. "

Ding Wei hasn't actually seen the terrain yet, but out of trust in his old comrades-in-arms, he agreed.

So the two discussed again and made a deployment. The new second regiment lay in ambush on the high ground from the southwest of Mawangmiao to the north of Guangou.

If the ambush of the two regiments is compared to a pocket, this is the bottom of the pocket.

The independent regiment ambushed in the highlands from Xiaozhai Village to the east of Mawangmiao.After the battle started, their task was to cut the enemy into sections at the bottom of the ditch and divide and eliminate them.

After the soldiers got the order, they went to their respective positions for ambush deployment.

Ding Wei decided to take another look at the overall terrain, so he called Kong Jie to come here together, and took a photo with the camera Yuan Lang gave him as a souvenir.

Kong Jie withdrew his greedy eyes and asked his old comrade, "Are you very confident?"

"Such a good ambush terrain, of course I have confidence. As long as the devils come, they must be overwhelmed." Ding Wei said firmly.

"You can't let Li Yunlong stand out alone!"

With the arrival of the brigade commander's order, there was also news that the New Second Regiment had won another big battle.

They took down an Eastern Mission Fort, wiped out more than 100 devils in the elite teaching brigade of the Japanese army, and shot down three planes by the way.

When the news of victory is passed back to the division and headquarters, Li Yunlong and the New Second Regiment will definitely become the subject of discussion and will definitely make a big splash.

As old comrades in arms, of course they would be happy for Li Yunlong.But at the same time, there will be a heart of comparison.

Li Yunlong can't win the battle alone, they all just watch, right?
That's no longer a wine bag.

Ding Wei, who had eliminated more than 100 devils, took the risk to mobilize the troops in advance in order to fight a big battle.

"Yeah, Li Yunlong can't let Li Yunlong stand alone in the limelight, it's time for us brothers to make a name for ourselves."

Kong Jie was also more anxious than Ding Wei. His independent regiment had not fought a single battle since it was transferred!

It is necessary to win a tough battle, a big battle, to fight happily, and it will not be in vain for their independent group to go through this experience.

The two looked at each other with sympathy. Today, they are not only old comrades who fought side by side, but also confidants.

"Old Ding, when will the brigade commander come?"

Kong Jie said: "Tanks are useless in this terrain, but cannons are always useful. Especially if the anti-aircraft guns of the planes are shot down, once the battle starts, the devil's planes will come."

Although a heavy machine gun can do a little work standing up, it is not a professional after all.If the anti-aircraft artillery can come, maybe a few planes can be shot down! "

Ding Wei knew a little more from the correspondent: "I can't say for sure, that thing is heavy. I heard that the anti-aircraft gun weighs five tons, which is twice as heavy as the howitzer. It has to be pulled by a truck."

In this way, it depends on when the devil will come.

Of course, this ambush cannot be resolved in an hour or two.It is not uncommon for the puppet army to fight for a day and a night for days.

Coming a little later will not affect the participation in the battle.

But when it comes to tanks and cannons, the two of them are sour again, like chewing lemons, so sour.

Everyone got Yuan Lang's weapon aid, so why did he have more tanks and cannons.

Although the brigade commander will definitely want to leave in the end, it is not bad to be able to use it once and fight a battle!

Ding Wei thought: "I made so many novelty things this month, Yuan Lang will definitely like it when he sees them. Next time, he has to grind out some good things. If you get my present, it's not good to hide it!"

Kong Jie was much more innocent, he thought to himself: "If there is a good thing, Li Yunlong can't be alone, it will be wet with rain and dew!

Isn't it just to beat devils!Get me some tanks and artillery, and I will also apply to the brigade commander to fight the county seat. "

They like to personally participate in fighting devils. It was the two of them who drank once, and Yuan Lang said it himself when he was drunk.

Kong Jie remembered it in his heart.

As long as he provides fire support, he is also willing.

Both of them were thinking about the same person, thinking about that thing.

"Head, the Japanese and puppet troops have been discovered."

The reconnaissance platoon leader of the independent regiment brought new news.

A few kilometers away, they found about four to five hundred Japanese puppet troops on their way.

Ding Wei raised his hand and glanced at the time, it was 45:.

Kong Jie frowned when he heard the news from the reconnaissance platoon leader: "No, the first news I got was that the enemy dispatched more than 1000 Japanese troops from the Yokoye Regiment, and the 27th Regiment of the Puppet Army had .

It adds up to two thousand and five, why is it only four to five hundred now?Where did those 2000 people go? "

From Heshun County to Liao County, it doesn't mean that there is only one way.But if it is a detour, it will take at least two more days.

Ding Wei analyzed: "In my opinion, these four 500 people are the vanguard, and the main force is behind.

Let them go first, wait for their large forces to come in, and then start fighting. "

Kong Jie thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's the only way to go."

Fortunately, the whole ravine used as the ambush site was long enough. Before the front team of the Japanese army went out, the rear team might have entered the ambush circle.

At best, it would just make the battle line longer.

Ding Wei asked the correspondent to report the situation to the brigade commander, and then said to Kong Jie: "That's it, I'll wait for your signal."

"It looks like I'm going to fire the first shot of the battle." Kong Jie said with a smile.

The battle that he had been looking forward to for many days was finally about to start, and he became excited and hot all over.

I can't wait.
