"Hmph, you're not too stupid after all, but judging from the current situation, there won't be too many Japanese defenders on Highland 2 and Highland 3. It shouldn't be a problem to capture those two highlands. If you can't capture them, , I will settle the score with Cheng Jifeng, Han Xingle, Yang Jiquan, and Wang Liang." Zhang Tianhai's face was full of confidence, and he didn't seem to take the Japanese army seriously.
"Yes! Leader! I understand my humble position!" Xu Xun stood at attention and saluted.
…
Highland Three.
As the commander of the main attack force here, Han Xingle was under a lot of pressure. It was an unprecedented first time for him to command two battalions of troops.
Especially Wang Liang's Sixth Battalion, which is a veritable recruit battalion, so it is destined that the main attack can only be carried out by the Fourth Battalion.
"Captain Han, why don't we let our Sixth Battalion go up first! My Sixth Battalion is a new recruit, and we are just about to step forward to carry out the test attack mission. This will best prepare the Fourth Battalion for launching a general attack." Wang Liang took the initiative This request was made.
To be honest, Han Xingle really didn't like Wang Liang very much, because in his opinion, Wang Liang only got his current position because of the appreciation of the group, not because of his true ability.
But he, Han Xingle, was different. How could he really look down on a serious graduate of the Central Military Academy?
"Yes, but we have to make a decision before we act. This Highland No. 3 is different from Highland No. 1. The Japanese troops here are fully defended, and we do not have an artillery battalion to assist us, and we do not have heavy weapon support such as mortar companies and small artillery companies. If If we want to fight, we must only use feint attacks in conjunction with frontal attacks." Han Xingle said in a deep voice, "Now we don't even know the specific deployment of the Japanese army. It seems that we can only lay down our lives at the cost of our lives."
"That can only be like this." Wang Liangliang nodded without refuting, because he also knew that he was not as good as Han Xingle in commanding operations - indeed, in a certain aspect, Zhang Tianhai was a good teacher, but Zhang Tianhai Tianhai did not teach him a systematic combat command.
Therefore, Wang Liang is Zhang Tianhai's apprentice, but he is only a half-disciple, not a qualified one.
Therefore, Wang Liang could only respect Han Xingle's opinion in this regard.
"Captain Wang, I think it's better to do this! Your sixth battalion will be responsible for the feint attack mission, and our fourth battalion will be responsible for the main attack mission, and we will strive to capture the No. 3 Highland as soon as possible." Han Xingle was really rude and directly gave Wang Liang Assigned tasks.
Wang Liang also knew that the combat effectiveness of his sixth battalion was far inferior to Han Xingle's fourth battalion, so all he could do was obey the arrangement: "Okay, no problem. Commander Han, you Wherever you point, our Sixth Battalion will attack!"
"Okay." Han Xingle nodded and continued to observe Highland No. 3.
Highland No. 3 is said to be a highland, but in fact it is not. It is just more than fifty meters above the ground. If you hit it, it will be difficult, but it is not impossible.
Soon, Han Xingle discovered a location that was more conducive to attack——
It was a gentle slope, and the rising arc was not large. It could be described as "smooth".
"This is a good place. It's impossible for the little devil not to keep an eye on this place. It's best to let the Sixth Battalion go. For other directions, leave it to our Fourth Battalion!" Han Xingle murmured to himself.
At this moment, a soldier ran to Han Xingle's side and reported: "Report to the battalion commander, according to the news from the communication squad, the main force of the regiment has captured the outside of Nantianpu. The regiment ordered the troops on both wings to contain the enemy. Army! Don’t let it reinforce Nantianpu!”
"Okay! This is good news!" This was Han Xingle's first reaction after hearing the report. "The regiment ordered us to perform a containment mission now. In other words, this group of Japanese troops is very likely to attack quickly in a short time. Reinforce Nantianpu. If we can set up an ambush on the road, it will be very easy to annihilate this Japanese army."
Wang Liang was not a fool. He said, "Battle Commander Han, what do you think about this ambush mission?"
Han Xingle turned to look at Wang Liang and said, "Captain Wang, I have an idea. Let me talk about it now. I want to hear your opinion."
"But it doesn't matter, Wang Liang is willing to listen to his opinions." Wang Liang said bluntly.
"Okay." Han Xingle nodded, "My opinion is that your battalion will be responsible for the diversion mission. After all, your battalion is newly established, and it is definitely not as good as our fourth battalion in terms of combat effectiveness. You are doing frontal diversion, and they They must not dare to act rashly, if they want to attack you, they will also suffer certain losses."
As he said that, Han Xingle paused and looked at Wang Liang's expression.
When he discovered that Wang Liang had no other thoughts, Han Xingle continued: "So, the chance of them attacking you is low. Even if they want to attack you, you can use the existing conditions to strike hard at them."
"Well, what Battalion Commander Han said is reasonable. I have no objection. It is most appropriate to fight like this." Wang Liang nodded, "Our sixth battalion has only been established a few months ago, and it is not as good as in training and actual combat. For the fourth battalion, it’s no problem to have a defensive battle, just enough to practice your skills.”
Wang Liang is an upright person, and what he says must be true to his heart. What's more, this is the truth, and it is the most suitable arrangement for a new recruit camp like their Sixth Battalion.
"Okay, let's make this arrangement for the time being!" Han Xingle nodded, and then continued: "Then, Battalion Commander Wang, you will lead your troops to take over our position and monitor the Japanese army. Our fourth battalion must go to the Japanese army." Set up an ambush along the road."
"Okay! Let's arrange it like this!" Wang Liang nodded, then turned around and said: "Brothers from the Sixth Battalion, take over the position immediately! Brothers from the Fourth Battalion, give up the position immediately. This is your Battalion Commander Han's order."
"Brothers from the Fourth Battalion, assemble immediately and follow me!!" Han Xingle also gave the order, very crisply.
"Yes! Sir!!" The officers and soldiers of the fourth and sixth battalions responded, and they were busy.
All this confounded the Japanese commander on the mountain: "Nani? What on earth do these Chinese troops want to do? They have withdrawn nearly half of their troops. Do they want to attack Nantianpu?"
It was precisely because of this preconceived idea that the movements of the Nationalist officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain made the Japanese commander Kawashima Danka on the mountain make up a lot of things on his own...
…
On the other side, Highland No. 2 seems to have a different situation than Highland No. 3 -
The commander of the second battalion, Cheng Jifeng, and the commander of the third battalion, Yang Jiquan, both came from the Thirteenth Army. They were also top students who graduated from Huangpu. Moreover, the equipment of their troops was quite good: at least it was much better than that of the Thirteenth Army. .
Both of them have not made any military exploits since joining the First Guard Regiment, and they both have bad tempers. If it were other people, they might not be like this, but it was the two of them.
Why do you say that? Because the battle has begun.
Cheng Jifeng also knew Yang Jiquan's strength, and Yang Jiquan also knew Cheng Jifeng's situation, so the two of them started a "game".
Why is it called a competition? Because they made a bet, they would attack from two directions, betting on which battalion could attack the No. 2 Highland first!

PS: Updates are coming!
I was supposed to have the second watch that night, but when I went home later, I was hit by an electric car that ran a red light and was dealt with until three o'clock in the middle of the night.
Sorry, everyone. I will prepare materials tomorrow to prosecute the driver who caused the accident.
