Chapter 118: Deploying the Pocket Array
Songshan, a "small hill" attached to the Gaoligong Mountains of the Hengduan Mountains, located in Mengla Township, Longling County, western Yunnan, with an altitude of only 2,000 meters, is the "small hill" attached to the Gaoligong Mountains of the Hengduan Mountains, which is located in Mengla Township, Longling County, western Yunnan. Because the famous Yunnan-Burma Highway hovers over 40 kilometers among the cliffs of this mountain, it carries too much burden of history. It confronts the high mountain cliffs on the east bank of the Nujiang River, forming a Nujiang natural trench with surging waves and flying peaks into clouds. It is the only way to the Huitong Bridge flying on the Nujiang River.
The Yunnan-Burma Highway on Songshan seems crowded due to the constant rush of transport vehicles.
On the road, there are military and civilians patrolling the road day and night to inspect suspicious horse gangs and other passers-by.
In order to keep it confidential, the Japanese advance team led by Nagato Matsushita tried to bypass villages and roads. They almost did not contact any locals and naturally did not risk taking the road in the mountains. They chose a shortcut to the horse gang. This is the only horse road leading from west to east to Huitong Bridge, which is half the distance from the road. As long as you pass this horse road smoothly, Huitong Bridge is within easy reach.
So Dong Limao chose the wild wolf suicide squad that ambushed Nagachi Matsushita in this mountain road.
According to Dong Limao's instructions, Zhao Yong chose to be between two mountains with narrow ends and wide in the middle as the ambush site.
This is a area about 200 meters long and about 30 meters wide, with bushes on both sides of the road, far away from the Yunnan-Burma Highway.
The men led by Dong Limao drove to the foot of Songshan at noon on the 27th. They parked the car on the side of the road, walked along the horse path to the mountain, and met with Zhao Yong and the others at this ambush point.
"Company Commander, how do you think of this position?" Zhao Yong asked Dong Limao.
Dong Limao swept the steep cliffs around with a telescope, put down the telescope and said, "This is really a very good natural pocket for catching wolves! Let's wait here for the arrival of the wolf pack led by Nagaki Matsushita."
"Naki Matsushita?" Zhao Yong asked with a confused look on his face: "Company Commander, are you talking about a Japanese officer's name?"
"Yes, the officer who led this code-named Pangolin Advance Team is named Nagato Matsushita!" Dong Limao nodded and replied.
"How did the company commander know?" Zhao Yong asked again.
Dong Limao glanced at Zhao Yong and said with a smile: "Don't forget, I am a god who can calculate and calculate. Not only did I know that his name is Matsushita Nagaki, but I also knew that he was the future son-in-law of the Emperor's family and a thug who kills without blinking!" Dong Limao did not want to reveal the secret that the Hot Spring Garden was an intelligence station. It was not that he could not trust the people around him, but that he was considering the safety of intelligence officers in the intelligence station.
Zhao Yong heard that Dong Limao was unwilling to tell the truth, and smiled and asked again: "Company Commander, do we really need to use pistols and machetes to kill the enemy? Why not use ready-made submachine guns and machine guns to fire?"
"If we shoot at the Japanese on both sides of the road from the two sides, which one can guarantee that they will not injure their brothers? And which one can guarantee that the Japanese will kill them all before they take out their weapons from the horse's pack to fight back?" Dong Limao asked, looking at the platoon leaders beside him.
Several people looked at each other and shook their heads together, indicating that they could not do it.
"That's right. What I want is to eliminate these Japanese wild wolves at the cost of minimum casualties!" Dong Limao smiled and said, "If any of you has a better way than mine, it's still too late to say it." Seeing that no one made any other suggestions, Dong Limao ordered: "Gather brothers, I have something to say!"
Soon, the officers and soldiers of the spy company who participated in the ambush stood in front of Dong Limao in squad and platoon as combat units. They all stood in front of Dong Limao with high spirits and full of spirits.
"It seems that you will have to let you take a hot spring bath frequently in the future, which will refresh yourself!" Dong Limao opened his mouth and made everyone laugh. Before the laughter stopped, Dong Limao immediately raised his face and said loudly: "Brothers! Are you all ready?"
"It's ready!" Everyone shouted in unison, and the sound echoed around, very imposing.
"Okay! It's worthy of being a soldier in the spy company!" Dong Limao took a step and walked back and forth in front, then stopped and continued: "What we are going to face tonight is a small team of elite Japanese troops interspersed with, known as the Wild Wolf Suicide Squad! I believe you have all seen the cruel behavior of the Japanese devils, and this Wild Wolf Suicide Squad is extremely cruel! They enjoy killing the heads of our compatriots! Bloodthirsty! Almost lost their human nature! We must treat the human body by the way they are! Kill these Japanese wild wolves in a way that is even more cruel than them! Do you dare to kill the wolf?"
"Dare!" The officers and soldiers answered in unison again.
Dong Limao continued: "Wolf is the most cunning and cruel animal. As a good wolf hunter, in addition to being more calm than wild wolves, it must also be more cruel than wild wolves! To kill wolves, we must first withstand the torture of waiting... After you enter the ambush position in the bushes on both sides of the road, you must ensure that there is no sound, no fire is allowed! No smoking is allowed! No talking is allowed! No leaving your post... Before dark, eat and drink enough, have a good sleep, and have enough energy to maintain your spirits. Just wait for the wolves to enter your pockets, and hear the trumpet of the bearded trumpet, and immediately pounce on the enemy from the ambush position, and use your pistols and machetes to greet the Japanese, and do not give them any respite to get weapons from the horse pack! Can it be done?"
"Can do it!" shouted again in unison.
"The Japanese are wolves, so we are tigers! We must rush out of the covered bushes in the shortest time like a tiger going down the mountain! Two sniper squads led by two sniper squads are responsible for sniping the Japanese who threaten their brothers on the trees on both sides. Behind them are the reconnaissance platoon led by Platoon Commander Liu to assist us and block the Japanese's retreat. So brothers don't have to worry too much. Just kill the Japanese at that time!" Dong Limao said this to dispel the fear of some soldiers. After all, it is a close-range hand-to-hand combat. Although almost every officer and soldier in the spy company has killed Japanese devils, they are shot with guns from a distance. Many people have not experienced hand-to-hand combat such as bayonets.
"Now I order!" Dong Limao began to issue specific orders: "Zhao Yong!"
"In!" Zhao Yong took a step forward from the team.
"You lead the main attack platoon, line up in a row, each with two to three meters apart, lying in ambush in the bushes on the right side of the road!"
"Yes!" Zhao Yong stood attentively and replied.
"Heavy machine gun!" Dong Limao called Zhang Dali again.
"Here!" Zhang Dali also took the step forward and answered loudly.
"A squad of the machine gun platoon is responsible for guarding the intersection in front. As long as you see the Japanese breaking forward, even if you shoot, you should be careful not to hurt your brother by chance!"
"Yes!" Zhang Dali replied.
"Two points!" Dong Limao swept his eyes to Wang Jiagui.
"Here!" Wang Jiagui also took a step forward and obeyed the orders with his head held high.
"You lead the sniper squad to cover up the trees on both sides of the mountains. Before the battle begins, you are not allowed to shoot and be responsible for covering and killing the Japanese who are threatening to their brothers!"
"Don't worry, company commander, I keep the lesson I taught last time in mind!" Wang Jiagui replied.
Dong Limao nodded, he believed that Wang Jiagui would not make any mistakes again this time: "The rest of the people, follow me and ambush on the left side of the road. From now on, we must keep quiet! Take action!"
"Company Commander, where is me?" Zeng Zifan walked up to him and asked. In addition to the small medicine box, he also carried a machete.
"You are the only medical officer in our spy company. You and Lan Xiang are covering up in the woods behind us and are responsible for treating the wounded." Dong Limao replied.
"No! I want to kill the little Japanese devils too!" Zeng Zifan said with his chest straight.
Dong Limao could understand Zeng Zifan's desire to take revenge just now, so he walked up and patted Zeng Zifan on the shoulder and said, "Doctor Zeng, using your medical skills to save the lives of his brothers is to avenge Sister Xia Hua. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zeng Zifan nodded and said, "I listen to the company commander."
"Fatty! Liu Xingyu! Come here!" Dong Limao shouted to Pan Guangzu and the translator Liu Xingyu.
The two ran to Dong Limao.
"You two are responsible for protecting Doctor Zeng and Lan Xiang," said Dong Limao.
Liu Xingyu pushed the glasses frame with her hand and said loudly: "I ask to join the battle!"
"As long as you protect Doctor Zeng and Lan Xiang, you are fighting!" Dong Limao glared at his eyes and said loudly.
Pan Guangzu pulled Liu Xingyu's arm and said, "At this time, don't cause trouble for the company commander anymore, come with me."
Liu Xingyu didn't say anything else, so he had to follow Pan Guangzu and Zeng Zifan and others to walk into the woods.
Everyone entered their respective posts without any sound. On the surface, the place returned to peace and became a paradise for birds, chirping and flying around in the bushes.
