    Looking at Kitano Takatsu, who was carrying a pistol, had two bare feet, and was looking miserable because he was wearing only a single piece of clothing. He was shivering in the severe cold of minus 40 degrees Celsius, and the livid-faced Yamada spoke up.  It took a lot of energy not to frown.  ¡¾.Com text¡¿

    He had long warned him not to trust those Manchu rebels too much and to prevent sneak attacks by anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements, but he just didn't listen.  Now, not only has he suffered a lot himself, but his troops have also suffered a lot of losses.

    Fortunately, apart from the loss of a few horses carrying infantry artillery and heavy machine guns, and the destruction of an infantry artillery piece, the Eighth Regiment's personnel losses were not very large.  As for the casualties of the Manchurian troops in the periphery, that is not something worthy of his concern.

    "Compared to the Manchurian army, which suffered dozens of casualties, only two Japanese soldiers were killed and several others were injured.  Although the casualties were not large, even this loss was absolutely intolerable to the proud Yamada.

    Yamada said that while he was angry and disappointed with Kitano Takatsu's performance, he felt more like luck.  If he hadn't been worried and checked the security, encountered a sneak attacker who was about to throw a grenade into the tent, and fired a warning shot first, the loss would have been great if only one grenade was thrown into the tent.

    If he hadn't shot another captain of the Manchurian Army who had failed in his duty, and after stabilizing the Manchurian Army in chaos, he had taken over the command without hesitation when the captain was nowhere to be found, and the command troops would have bypassed Manchuria.  The police set up a cordon and repelled the night attackers who caused havoc in their campsite.  The joke got big.

    Yamada originally wanted to gather his troops and pursue them along the tracks left by the attackers, but because he was worried that the captain was missing, the attackers adopted the tactic of moving the tiger away from the mountain. After he left, the troops had no one to command and encountered a sneak attack.  If you feel unwilling to do so, you can only withdraw.

    What's more, looking at the dark mountains in front of him, Yamada was still a little worried when he rashly entered the mountains without any support.  He could be sure that with Major Kitano's personality, even if he returned to the command position, he would never send troops to meet him after learning that he was going into the mountains to pursue him.

    Although he was ready to take over the command with the secret instructions from the commander of the unit, Yamada said that he absolutely did not want the troops to suffer heavy losses before they started taking action.  Because he knew that if the troops suffered heavy losses before they officially entered the mountains, the unlucky one would be not only this one who had died a hundred times, but also Kitano Major, who could be called the scum of the imperial army based on his performance just now, as the war supervisor.  The official's punishment will be more severe.

    Although he was extremely angry at the captain's performance, Yamada could only suppress his anger in his heart when he opened his mouth, and quickly asked Kitano's guards to get his clothes and shoes, lest the major could not kill the enemy and he had to first  freeze to death.

    At this moment, Yamada, who wanted to kill Major Kitano, opened his mouth, but he didn't know that a loaded rifle was aimed at the bushes on a hillside less than 200 meters away to his right.  By a campfire, his figure was clearly illuminated by the blazing fire.

    Yang Zhen gently pulled the bolt and fed a bullet into the chamber.  The commander of this night attack was none other than Yang Zhen, who rushed to the scheduled battlefield. In order to find out the true combat effectiveness of the Eighth Regiment, he personally deployed a platoon with the cooperation of two reconnaissance teams commanded by Dong Ping.

    Yang Zhen originally led the reconnaissance team in person, but when he arrived at the outskirts of the Japanese camp and discovered that all Japanese security was provided by the puppet Manchukuo army, he immediately organized a night attack.

    "It's a pity that after he personally killed several security posts of the puppet Manchukuo army and had already entered the Japanese camp, and the success of this sneak attack was almost in sight, the operation was discovered by a Japanese officer who suddenly appeared.  Not only was one soldier sacrificed, but the results were also much less than expected.

    However, after withdrawing from the battle and getting rid of the pursuit of the Japanese and puppet troops, Yang Zhen led his troops back to the vicinity of the Japanese camp.  He hasn't figured out the true combat effectiveness of this eighth regiment yet. How could Yang Zhen retreat so easily?

    Although it can be seen just from the reaction and counterattack speed of the Japanese army after encountering the attack, although this Japanese army behaved a bit sloppily, they are definitely well-trained veterans.  Its real combat effectiveness will not be much different from other Japanese elites.  But Yang Zhen was not satisfied and wanted to give it a try.

    Just when Yang Zhen was holding a telescope and carefully observing the movements of the Japanese troops through the firelight in the Japanese camp, Dong Ping, who was also holding a telescope next to him, suddenly turned around and pointed at the Japanese camp and said to Yang Zhen: "Captain, look at that man wearing  Is there a lean Japanese captain in a woolen coat? He was the one who directed the Japanese counterattack just now, and he was also the one who first discovered our attack and Ergouzi died under his gun  "

    "This Japs' reaction speed is absolutely top-notch, and his tactical movements are extremely standard. When we attacked the Japs' barracks, although our man-gun was clutched in his hand, when we fired it, we fell behind him and he got the better of us.  Shot."

    "He also commanded the counterattack of the Japanese and puppet troops. This guy has extremely high tactical literacy and can carry out such a beautiful counterattack in such a hasty situation. Compared with the reaction of other Japanese officers just now, he is a strong enemy of ours.  Although we are unwilling to take the initiative to retreat at the risk of greater casualties, this guy¡¯s ability cannot be underestimated.¡±

    "In the battle just now, I organized my troops several times to kill him, but he dodged them all with his skillful tactical movements. Instead, he injured two of our soldiers. If it hadn't been for him, I wouldn't have been able to kill him tonight.  , the Japs¡¯ losses were much greater than they are now, and it would definitely not be as simple as just an infantry cannon being blown up.¡±

    "Judging from his rank, he will not be the chief officer of this Japanese brigade. And judging from the Japanese counterattack just now, many Japanese soldiers don't seem to buy his account. If this guy can command more Japanese soldiers,  Judging from the reaction speed of the Japs tonight, it may be difficult for us to escape unscathed, or we may get bitten by this guy. "

    "If we want to win, we should find every opportunity to kill this guy. Otherwise, judging from this guy's ability, he will definitely cause us a lot of trouble. Even if we can win, the casualties will not be so small.  ¡±

    "The commander of this brigade should be the one standing on his left who was barefoot just now. Except for the military rank on the military uniform he just put on, which is Major, all the other Japanese officers saw him and saluted. So I am sure that this Japanese soldier  That¡¯s the real commander.¡±

    "I haven't seen this guy before in the night battle. The quality of this guy is far different from that of the captain. If we kill that captain, judging from the combat qualities that the captain just showed, we will  The losses in the battle may be much smaller."

    "It's a pity that I didn't seize the opportunity just now, but now I have no chance. No matter how far the effective range of the Little Devil's 38-style is, at such a long distance and at night, the possibility of killing him is almost slim.  It would be great if we had a special sniper rifle like the Soviet army."

    Dong Ping's analysis made Yang Zhen put down the telescope and nodded with satisfaction: "Your vision is very accurate. Judging from his performance just now, this guy will definitely be a strong enemy of ours. Such an opponent, on the battlefield, will  It¡¯s always a troublesome thing. Killing him in advance will save us a lot of trouble.¡±

    Having said this, Yang Zhen took a Type 38 rifle from the soldiers beside him, checked the scale, and said with a smile: "Although we don't have a sniper rifle now, a living person can't choke to death, right? Without a sniper rifle,  It doesn¡¯t mean there¡¯s nothing we can do.¡±

    Seeing Yang Zhen pick up a Type 38 rifle, Dong Ping looked at the Japanese position opposite, then at Yang Zhen who looked confident, and shook his head.  Having dealt with the Japanese for many years, he did not believe that with poor visibility and such a long distance, he could hit a target hundreds of meters away by sight alone.

    Looking at Dong Ping, who was shaking his head in disbelief, Yang Zhen smiled and said: "Well, let's make a bet. If I kill this guy, how about you transfer him back to the regiment headquarters to serve as my combat staff? Don't you want to be there?  As a political worker, do you always want to be a military cadre and lead soldiers? If I lose, I will allow you to change your career to a full-time military cadre and lead soldiers. "

    Hearing Yang Zhen's promise, Dong Ping's heart moved, but he said: "Commander, if you want to transfer me back to the regiment headquarters as a staff officer, I will resolutely obey your next order. I am a party member, and I will obey the law."  Still understand.¡±

    In response to Dong Ping's answer, Yang Zhen pointed at his heart and said with a smile: "What you say is not true. You have always wanted to lead troops, but I still know why you don't want to be an instructor. Are you willing to give up this opportunity? I am the leader of the regiment."  You can¡¯t force things on others, right? So we still have to make this bet.¡±

    After that, Yang Zhen stopped paying attention to him, turned around and adjusted the rifle in his hand. After simply grabbing a handful of snow and loosening it to test the wind direction and speed, he leaned down, raised the rifle in his hand, and turned the telescope  Stand up to make a hard-to-find scope.  The back of Yamada's mouth, which was clearly illuminated by the firelight, was firmly set in his crosshairs.

    Yamada, who had been suppressing the anger in his heart, was currently commanding several soldiers from the Puppet Manchukuo Army who were acting as coolies to carry the bodies of the two dead soldiers to Major Kitano. Naturally, he did not know that he was in danger.

    Just when Yamada opened his mouth and was about to say something to Major Kitano who had barely stabilized, a crisp gunshot once again tore through the tranquility of the night sky.  Along with this clear soundThere was a crisp gunshot, and a bullet penetrated into the back of Yamada's head. After wandering around in his brain, it flew out from his Tian Ling Gai with half of his skull.

    Yamada spoke too carelessly.  After repelling the sneak attack and rearranging the cordon, he thought that the thieves would not be so bold as to return after being repulsed.  So he stood under the firelight, completely exposing his body.

    People say that the richer you are, the more you cherish your life.  Compared to Yamada's careless manner, Major Kitano, who had just calmed down from panic, was much more cautious.  Not only did he stand in the dark, he even hid his body under the cover of several soldiers around him, refusing to expose even a little bit of his body.

    The bullet that was struck opened the skull, and one fatal shot made Captain Yamada die cleanly.  Along with the flying skull, his brains and blood sprayed all over the face of Major Kitano Takatsu who was standing in front of him.

    Seeing the inexplicable death in front of him, Major Kitano Takatsu reacted much more normally this time.  After hearing the gunshot, he didn't hesitate at all. He didn't even bother to wipe the brains and blood from his face. He shouted: "Sniper" and then quickly fell down.  Its speed is absolutely unparalleled.

    The Japanese soldiers who had just been grieving for the death of their two comrades who died in battle heard another sudden gunshot and his exhausting shouts. They had already put their sadness aside and quickly fell down.

    Looking at the Japanese camp that was once again in chaos, Yang Zhen packed up his binoculars and threw the rifle back into the hands of the soldiers. After he put down the binoculars just now, he was stunned. He almost didn't believe that someone could really shoot at night.  Dong Ping, who relied on the rifle in his hand to accurately hit the target 200 meters away, smiled and said: "How about it, I am willing to admit defeat. We have agreed that after this battle, you will come to the regiment headquarters and be my pawn."  "Combat Staff Officer."

    After saying that, Yang Zhen looked at the Japanese troops who had huddled up at the foot of the mountain. Knowing that he had no chance to make a sneak attack, he waved his hand and gave the order to retreat to the troops around him.  Since there is no chance to strike again, there is no need to continue to delay here.  Otherwise, it would be bad if the Japanese army reacted and pursued them.

    Seeing that Yang Zhen had withdrawn safely, Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun, who were worried about his personal adventure, secretly breathed a sigh of relief and were also anxious to know the results of Yang Zhen's trip.

    After taking a sip of the hot water handed over by Guo Bingxun to warm up his almost frozen body, Yang Zhen opened the map and said to the two people who were looking at him anxiously: "This trip was not in vain, although it is available.  There are not many situations, but I can barely figure out the old foundation of the Eighth Wing. "

    "These Japanese troops are very skilled in techniques and tactics, and they are all authentic veterans. However, their desperate spirit is far different from other Japanese troops. In order to find out their details, I organized a sneak attack. Although it was not successful, it was already obvious to the opponent.  With only a small number of troops, these Japanese troops did not pursue, but huddled together. Their fighting style was completely different from other Japanese troops we had experienced. "

    "Lao Guo, I see it like this. Our battle plan needs to be changed. After the battle starts, the two companies that block the Japanese troops approaching on the South Road can be changed to strengthen one platoon and one company."

    "The blocking company should not fight head-on. It should just use the terrain to block the attack step by step. Don't let the Japanese troops on the south road quickly get closer to the Japanese troops on the southeast road. The snow in the mountains is waist-deep, which not only limits our mobility, but also the Japanese and puppet troops.  The army is also subject to restrictions. My request is very simple, that is, the Japanese army on the south route cannot get close to the Japanese army on this route. "

    "The company that was withdrawn should not join the ambush force first. It strengthened two grenade launchers and a soldier with good marksmanship. With the cooperation of Dong Ping's small team, it gradually spread out from the mouth of Guaifeifei Mizo, forming a trapezoidal arrangement.  , using squads as units, harassed the Japanese marching brigade with cold guns and artillery along the way, focusing on the Japanese officers and the horses carrying heavy machine guns and infantry artillery. "

    "It is best to completely anger the Japanese army and make them advance rashly. If not, it is best to weaken their mobility. At least weaken their fire support and command capabilities. The width of Guaifeipogou is not wide. Because it is a wind outlet,  The snow is not as deep as in the mountains, so these small and flexible troops should be able to play a big role."

    "This is the first time for our army to engage in such a large-scale ambush since it was formed, and we lack experience. In this way, you divide the entire combat area into several different small areas, and limit the firing range of all heavy machine guns and mortars.  Divide. Form several fire cover teams to take on the task of fire suppression in their respective areas. Although this is somewhat dogmatic, it is a safe approach given the lack of combat experience in the troops.?.  "

    Having said this, Yang Zhen looked at the time displayed on his watch and said: "Let the troops rest for a good night. Except for the company scheduled to harass along the way and set off early in the morning, the rest of the troops will enter the scheduled ambush location at noon tomorrow."

    After instructing Guo Bingxun, Yang Zhen turned to Li Yanping and said: "Political Commissar, you will emphasize battlefield discipline with the troops later. Tell them that strict battlefield discipline is the decisive factor in whether this battle can be won. In order to ensure the success of the battle,  Victory, if something violates battlefield discipline, don¡¯t blame military law for being ruthless.¡±
