Military morale fluctuated.
The continuous attacks were unfavorable, and the energy of these bandits was almost exhausted.
But Meng Shaoyuan took advantage of the east wind, and the delicious smell of the food made the bandits, who were already hungry, thirsty and exhausted, even more hungry and complaining.
This is good, the attacker is hungry and drinks from the northwest wind.
What about the defenders? Eat and drink enough.
What's even more annoying is that on the opposite side, there are actually people drinking wine with the delicious food.
Song Jiande is also a smart man.
As soon as Meng Shaoyuan borrowed the east wind, he understood what it meant.
He immediately summoned his company commanders and platoon commanders, set the table, and started drinking.
While drinking, he was also shouting and guessing fists.
Would you say this is irritating?
Many bandits no longer want to fight.
The first one to run away was Xue Laoer from Panzishan.
Then, several small groups of bandits emerged one after another, taking advantage of the darkness and quietly sneaking away.
What are you doing here?
Watching others eat and drink, and then waiting to be surrounded and killed?
Faced with this situation, Bian Kui and Watanabe Masakatsu were angry and anxious, but there was nothing they could do.
The only thing we can do is to try our best to stabilize the morale of the army and wait until dawn tomorrow before making one final attack.
After finally suffering through the night, everyone was tired from all the hard work and everyone fell asleep.
However, in the second half of the night, a sudden change occurred.
Suddenly, gunfire broke out around the bandits' camp, and the sound of killing was loud.
The sleeping bandit suddenly fell into chaos, crying for his father and mother, and running away with his head in his arms.
Even the Leshan camp was awakened.
Song Jiande looked confused, what's wrong?
As soon as he saw Meng Shaoyuan coming with his clothes on, he quickly grabbed him: "Xiao Meng, have your reinforcements arrived?"
"I do not know."
Meng Shaoyuan also looked confused.
Even if reinforcements arrive, they won't be that fast, right?
But hearing the gunshots and shouts, it seems like reinforcements have really arrived?
Meng Shaoyuan once said that in intelligence work, if there are too many coincidences, there must be something wrong.
However, in real life, there are really many very coincidental things.
Dai Li and Guan Wenmin, the operations director sent by the military to assist, racked their brains to think of where to mobilize a force to support Leshan as soon as possible.
But after searching all over, I couldn't find a suitable unit that could reach Leshan as quickly as possible.
Just when Guan Wenmin was preparing to mobilize troops directly from Chengdu, a report from the combat staff confused him.
"Report, the 698th Regiment of the Sichuan Army is in Meishan!"
"What? Regiment 698? In Meishan?"
Guan Wenmin was confused when he heard this: "The 698th regiment should have been transferred from Chengdu to Luzhou long ago? Why are they still in Meishan?"
"I have inquired. Pei Hongzhi, the leader of the 698th Regiment, is from Meishan. His wife and children are all in Meishan. During this deployment, he took his troops to Meishan for a visit and took two days off. As soon as he arrived in Meishan, Pei Hongzhi's two-year-old son happened to be sick, and he was very distressed, so he stayed in Meishan to take care of his son, but he has been delayed until now."
"It's been half a month, exactly half a month." Guan Wenmin was dumbfounded: "The order to adjust the defense was issued half a month ago, and he is still in Meishan!"
Suddenly, his face suddenly changed and he was overjoyed: "Okay, contact Pei Hongzhi immediately. His stay in Meishan is a meritorious service. Order him to assemble the 698th Regiment immediately and rush to Leshan's aid!"
"Wait a minute." After all, Dai Li was so scheming: "Let me tell Pei Hongzhi again that defending Leshan and annihilating the bandits will be an extraordinary feat. All the captured materials will be arranged by Commander Pei himself."
"high!"
Guan Wenmin also understood: "Also, we need to let Pei Hongzhi know that the bandits attacked Leshan and suffered heavy casualties. They collapsed at the first touch. If you want to make contributions, you have to be quick. If it's too late, Leshan will take away all the credit!"
This is a military operation that makes people laugh or cry.
Originally, Pei Tuan stayed for half a month after receiving the order to mobilize defenses, which was enough for Pei Hongzhi to go to the military court.
But Pei Tuan has been in Sichuan since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War and has never been to the front line.
For these native-born Sichuan troops, the so-called military discipline and law are just a decoration.
As long as Chongqing doesn't mess around or cause trouble, it will be fine.
Violations of some military laws are usually turned a blind eye.
Li Quanshan, the general of the Sichuan Army in Chengdu, took the lead in rioting because he was owed military pay, which was tantamount to a mutiny. Finally, the army's salary was urgently allocated and the situation calmed down.
In the end, in dealing with Li Quanshan, he made a "dedicated crime and meritorious service, and he will not be an example next time" and settled the matter.
Such a big thing can be settled quietly, and a group staying for half a month is not a big deal.
What's strange is that Pei Hongzhi was originally guilty of staying in Meishan, but now he has become meritorious.
It's embarrassing for you to ask Pei Hongzhi to fight against the regular army.
But as soon as he heard that he was a bandit, and that he had suffered heavy casualties, and that all the materials seized after winning the battle were at his disposal, Pei Hongzhi became very excited.
His son's illness also recovered, and Pei Hongzhi became even more energetic and immediately gathered his troops.
Without any mobilization, Pei Hongzhi issued an order:
"Brothers, come with me and give me all the clothes and pants of the bandits to exchange for money. Whoever steals it will get it! Move quickly, don't let those bastards in Leshan take all the credit!"
Good guy.
Upon hearing this order from the regiment leader, everyone in the regiment was in high spirits.
A car company of the 698th Regiment acted even more quickly.
It was a long journey from Chengdu to Luzhou without moving for a long time.
But now there are a dozen bandits, and the car company is the first to take action.
With machine guns mounted, brothers galloped away with truckloads of brothers in tow.
It made those brothers who had to walk on two legs complain and curse the car company for not being interesting enough, so they just wanted to take the credit!
By the time the car company arrived, it was late at night.
The bandits were all fast asleep.
There are no overt or covert whistles.
We are not afraid of sneak attacks from Leshan.
There are only about a hundred people in Leshan, and they are exhausted after fighting for a whole day.
If there is no sneak attack in Cola Mountain, these new troops who have just arrived on the battlefield will be full of energy as they want to strip off the clothes and pants of the bandits in exchange for money.
As soon as he arrived, he jumped out of the car and rushed forward without any orders from his superiors, shouting "Aoao".
The machine gun installed on the truck didn't know where the target was. Anyway, it was just a matter of pulling the trigger to death.
As for where the bullet flew?
Who the hell cares about this?
The sleeping bandits fell into huge chaos.
Here in Leshan, although Meng Shaoyuan didn't know what happened, he reacted quickly:
"Battle Commander Song, hurry up, the whole army attacks, the machine guns are blaring, while charging, let the brothers shout, the first division in the world is here, surrender your guns and do not kill, treat the prisoners better!"
The best division in the world?
Fortunately he could figure it out!
Song Jiande slapped his chest: "Xiao Meng, just watch it!"
As he spoke, he raised his voice: "Brothers, kill the bandits to vent your anger! The No. 1 Division in the World has arrived, and our reinforcements have arrived! Follow me and charge!"
The brothers who were yawning just now rushed out of the position one by one, howling!
