Zhang Wei's telegram turned into radio waves, which were transmitted from the second-line position to the direction of Kunlun Pass, along the Nanbin Highway, more than 20 miles away from the second-line position, Deng Junlin, commander of the 65th Regiment, finished reading the telegram sent by Zhang Wei, put away the telegram, and looked thoughtfully in the direction of the second-line position.
"Let the brothers speed up their work, and let us go back first" Deng Junlin stood on the road, withdrew his eyes, and led a large group of people straight down from the terrain mound beside the road, and went to the regiment headquarters behind the hills and highlands with a little anxiety.
In the established tactics of the new 22nd Division, Deng Junlin's teaching brigade camped in front of the Nanbin Highway, and the remaining 64th and 66th regiments arranged positions and fortifications in the rear, adopted conservative tactics, and held their positions.
The established combat order given to Deng Junlin was to resist on the Nanbin Highway and block the invading enemy, and Zhang Wei and the ambush plan he proposed was temporarily formulated during the battle in the village, and it was not Deng Junlin, but the tactics proposed by Zhang Wei.
In the telegram to the headquarters of the New 22nd Division, Deng Junlin did not mention this encirclement and annihilation plan, but reported the casualties and the advance of the Japanese army in the tone of "blocking the Japanese army".
Anyway, the Japanese army is essentially attacking in the direction of Kunlun Pass, and Deng Junlin does not intend to explain his own tactics in such detail, the task is to resist, block, how to fight is his own business, besides, words cannot be said to die, and this ambush is by no means easy to implement.
After Deng Junlin retreated from both ends of the road, after a rapid march, he finally joined the second battalion of Chen Fakehua's 65th Regiment, Deng Junlin's subordinates, the whole regiment of the 65th Regiment except for Zhou Pu's first battalion, were all here, and it was also a good ambush position.
Deng Junlin's subordinates, the entire 65th Regiment, owed the 1st Battalion of Zhou Pu, plus a 75th Mountain Artillery Platoon, and there was only one reason why the ambush position was located here.
Most of the Nanbin Highway section is flat on both sides, and on both sides of the ambush site, not only flat land, but also rare hills, small highlands, can hide the troops, do not put the ambush position here, then where to put it Zhang Wei's teaching brigade and the first battalion of the 65th Regiment were in front, blocking the Japanese army, and Deng Junlin's troops were building fortifications in the ambush position, and arranging the ambush position in advance, the ambush position was not only their own, but also the position of the teaching brigade and the first battalion of the 65th Regiment, Deng Junlin should also be prepared, so that Zhang Wei could quickly enter the ambush state after retreating.
The hills and small heights provided better concealment conditions for the infantry, although the hills and heights were not much higher, but they were much better than the flat fields, at least they could hide some soldiers and reduce the exposed troops.
It takes time to construct the work, and now the national army at the entire ambush position is stepping up its work, and the fortification has not yet been completed, and the ambush position has not been completed, so the second-line position in front will have to drag on for a while.
Although the Fifth Army is an elite, it has only been a short time to become an army, and the soldiers lack a lot of combat training in all aspects, and the construction of civil fortifications is not a simple task, and it requires both skill and physical strength, and the soldiers of the 65th Regiment are much inferior in both physical strength and skill.
Many soldiers have to grind for a long time to dig a single soldier pit, not to mention whether the standard is not standard, because of the physical relationship, they have to rest for a while while doing it, and various factors have led to the slow construction of fortifications.
Today is the 19th day, it was late afternoon, Zhang Wei's second-line position had been in the morning, and the soldiers under Deng Junlin had worked for a morning, but they had only completed an ambush position of more than a whole battalion, as well as the construction of the regimental command post, and the mountain artillery platoon had just prepared a firing position and measured the target, and there was still a big gap between the completion of the entire fortification.
After Deng Junlin returned to the regimental headquarters, he sent a telegram to Zhang Wei: the ambush position had not yet been prepared, and it was hoped that the second-line position would be delayed for at least one more day and supported until noon on the 20th.
The second-line position, the teaching brigade and the Zhou Pu battalion after the bloody battle, cleaned up, and after cleaning the battlefield, an extremely important thing was being held.
After fighting all morning and cleaning up the position, not to mention the soldiers, even Zhang Wei, the captain of the brigade, had a stomach growling, and sent a herald in the command post to inform the cooking squad to bury the pot and make rice.
When commanding a war, I don't feel hungry, and it's not too much of a hindrance, and hunger really affects thinking after stopping, and the same is true for soldiers, in order to survive during the war, how can I care if I'm hungry or not, but as soon as the guns stop, as soon as I sit down in the trenches, the hunger comes up, and the soldiers of the teaching brigade have never tasted the taste of withholding food, and the soldiers' stomachs are fed three meals a day.
With Zhang Wei's order, and it was indeed time to start eating, the troops were busy, and the cooking squad of the brigade immediately began to bury the pot and cook.
It's still the old rule, Zhang Wei sent a batch of meat to the friendly troops on the right side of the road, chatting about his heart, after all, the friendly troops resisted the main offensive strength of the Japanese army in the last battle, and their food was really not good.
Here, the cooking squads of the three squadrons were at the back of the position, in the same trench, more than ten meters apart, preparing the food of the whole brigade, and the trenches were covered with wood and shelter, green canvas, and weeds were placed on them, so that the cooking squads were blocked under the shelter.
There is no good way to do it now, so we can only use concealed fortifications, lengthen the spacing between pots and stoves, and increase the artificial smoke of the soldiers of the cooking squad to reduce the smoke, and there are also air defense posts at the front of the position, and the cooking squad has fire extinguishing materials prepared in advance, and as soon as the air defense post warns, the cooking squad will immediately extinguish the fire and conceal it.
The cooking class used stones to set up a simple three-stone stove to heat meat, the so-called three-stone stove is a stove made of a few stones, and a small iron pot with less smoke is set up, which can just handle the small amount of meat needed for heating.
The food of the soldiers, the conditions are limited, the staple food of the soldiers is dry food, the meat is the pork jerky processed in these three-stone stoves, pour a little oil in the pot, and then sprinkle a little salt particles, fry the meat slices, fry for a while, and the taste is not taken care of on the battlefield, and the pork jerky taught by the brigade is processed before the war, and the flavor is good.
Now it's hot, sprinkle a little salt, and the hot slices of meat are also excellent to eat with dry food. ：。
