Now that Yang Ling heard that they were hungry, he immediately made food for them. Although the officers and soldiers didn't say anything, they were already full of affection for the new chief.
Taking advantage of the time when the officers and soldiers were eating, Yang Ling asked the brothers of the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade to get some ammunition and distribute them to the officers and soldiers. This is for a war, and if there is not enough ammunition, it will not work.
These officers and soldiers were also hungry, chewing food voraciously, while the common people next to them kept pouring water for them and rushing to fill them with rice to make them full.
"Brothers, look at how our folks treat us. We've given us all the food and drink. We'll have to beat up the little devil later, or we'll be sorry for the bowl of rice we ate!" Yang Ling said It is to boost morale while the officers and soldiers are eating.
"Don't worry, sir, I ate two bowls of rice, and I want to kill two devils!"
"Sir, we will beat the devil hard!"
……
As the soldiers ate their stomachs and gained strength, they also recovered some morale unconsciously.
"That's what you said. If anyone dares to be afraid of the battle later, don't blame me, Yang Ling, for being rude." Yang Ling smiled and vaccinated them.
The officers and soldiers knew that the military situation was urgent, so they ate very quickly. In just a few minutes, they settled the meal and assembled again. Under the leadership of Yang Ling, they went straight to the direction of Jingzhen Mountain where the gunfire was fierce.
Text Chapter 380 Operation Plan
Yang Ling led the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade and more than 200 soldiers assigned to him all the way in a hurry. Since they did not have air control, the sky was controlled by the devil's plane.
Facing the devil planes whizzing and circling from time to time, they had to spread out to hide, and their speed slowed down involuntarily when they stopped and stopped.
Yang Ling and the others walked for more than an hour, and at a fork in the road, they met a battlefield security squad of Luo Guoliang's regiment.
From this battlefield security team, I learned that the devils have now captured the Jingzhen Mountain position, and their regiment leader Luo Guoliang is directing the troops to counterattack.
Because Jingzhen Mountain is a support point on the periphery of Yichang, once it is captured by the devils, there will be a gap in the defense line on the periphery of Yichang, which will trigger a chain reaction.
Therefore, the 18th Army attached great importance to the position of Jingzhen Mountain. Among them, the 199th Division heard that the position here was lost, and sent a special regiment to try to retake Jingzhen Mountain.
However, the little devils who captured Jingzhen Mountain had strong firepower, coupled with the bombing and strafing of devils' planes in the sky, the several attacks organized by the regiment leader Luo Guoliang were all repelled, and they suffered heavy losses instead.
When Yang Ling led his people to the foot of Jingzhen Mountain, he happened to meet the Chinese officers and soldiers who were retreating again.
Seeing the bloodied wounded being carried down, the officers and soldiers who followed Yang Ling showed bitterness on their faces, knowing that a fierce battle was inevitable.
Yang Ling asked Grizzly to lead people to hide under the field foundation by the roadside, and then led a few officers and soldiers from the Lie Yan Special Operations Brigade to follow Luo Guoliang's regiment headquarters.
Luo Guoliang's regiment headquarters was located in a hidden department several hundred meters behind the line of fire. Shells fell from time to time. Seeing the troops retreating again, regiment leader Luo Guoliang was furious.
"Hu Qiang, what are you doing for food? You can't take down such a Jingzhen mountain after several times. Believe it or not, I dismissed you!"
Luo Guoliang, the head of the regiment with a livid face, was yelling at the blood-stained battalion commander Hu Qiang. The consecutive defeats and huge casualties had made him lose control of his emotions.
Hu Qiang, the battalion commander, was full of grievances: "Tuan, it's not that the brothers are not desperate, but that the firepower of the devils is too strong, and as many as they rush forward, they will die as many as they want. If this continues, our battalion will be wiped out... ..."
"You guys are exhausted, I'll go! Even if you want to gnaw, I have to gnaw Jingzhen Mountain down!" Luo Guoliang, the group seat, roared loudly.
"Report, group seat, our reinforcements have arrived." Just as the head of the regiment, Luo Guoliang, was furious, a guard sneaked into the hiding place and made a report.
"Go gather your people and prepare to attack again!" Luo Guoliang glared at battalion commander Hu Qiang, and then told the guards: "Who is leading the team?"
"It's Officer Yang from the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade."
"Please." Hearing that it was Yang Ling from the Lieyan Special Operations Brigade, Luo Guoqiang, the head of the team, immediately beamed with joy.
Although Yang Ling's Lie Yan Special Operations Brigade has a small number of people, they have played the role of firefighters in the battles these days, with a good record. All regiments have heard of such an elite unit.
Yang Ling and the head of the regiment, Luo Guoliang, met in the humble regiment headquarters. Although they were not familiar with each other, they were Chinese soldiers fighting side by side in the trenches, and they were not very polite.
"Commander Luo, what is the current situation?"
After exchanging a few simple greetings, Yang Ling directly got to the point.
After hearing Yang Ling's question in his ears, the group leader Luo Guoliang sighed: "I'm dissatisfied with Brother Yang, the devil's firepower is too fierce, and our several attacks have been repelled. I'm worried now. Come here now!" That's fine."
"I have ordered the troops to prepare for another attack. Brother Yang, what do you think we should do next?" Luo Guoliang, the head of the regiment, asked Yang Ling for his opinion.
Although Yang Ling now has few troops under his command, he is from the regular army and has rich combat experience. Luo Guoliang dare not neglect him.
"We are now attacking Jingzhen Mountain during the day, facing the devils with superior firepower, our casualties will not be small. I mean, we will withdraw our troops to eat, drink, and refresh ourselves, and fight again at night."
"But it's hard to explain to the division headquarters?" Luo Guoliang's face was full of doubts.
"It's going to be dark in a while, call the division headquarters and explain, I think they will understand us."
Now the devils are attacking Yichang's defenders from different directions, and the two sides are fighting repeatedly in several places. Yang Ling believes that as long as they can regain Jingzhen Mountain, the higher ups will not blame them.
Luo Guoliang, the head of the regiment, also knew that the attack during the day would cost too much, so he finally agreed to Yang Ling's suggestion: "That's fine, I'll go and explain to the division. Brother Yang, take a rest first, and we can discuss how to fight the battle at night later. .”
The head of the regiment, Luo Guoliang, quickly called the division headquarters. After some explanations, the division finally reluctantly agreed to postpone their attack until night.
Now the fronts of the two sides are staggered. In many places, the little devils are attacking, and in some places, the Chinese army is counterattacking. The entire battlefield outside Yichang has become a mess.
But fortunately, the various Chinese troops have stabilized their positions, and the devil's counterattack is not going very smoothly, and they have to worry about the attacks of other Chinese troops on the flank.
A few days ago, when the devils attacked Yichang, there were three main divisions. Naturally, Yichang was easily occupied.
But this time it was very different. The devils' troops had been ordered to retreat, and the other two divisions had even retreated to Dangyang.
It is only Tanaka Jingyi's 13th Division that is the first to turn back to fight Yichang. In addition to the 18th Army in the front of the Chinese army, other returning troops have arrived in Yichang from Hanshui.
Therefore, when the Devil's 13th Division sent some troops to attack Yichang, some troops exchanged fire with the surrounding Chinese troops, which also affected their offensive.
It was a reinforced squadron under the command of Kitagawa Katsusan, the 58th Wing of the Devils, who captured Jingzhen Mountain. They seized several hills of Jingzhen Mountain and occupied this important fulcrum position outside Yichang.
The several villages on the east side of Jingzhen Mountain are occupied by a part of the troops directly under the 103rd Regiment of the Devils, which is responsible for covering the rear of Jingzhenshan's troops to ensure that the ammunition transportation in Jingzhenshan is normal.
After carefully analyzing the army configuration of the devils, Yang Ling and the others decided to send troops to wipe out the devils in several villages on the east side of Jingzhen, cut off the rear and supplies of the devils in Jingzhen, and let them become a lone army.
At the same time, a brave death team was selected to sneak onto Jingzhen Mountain after dark, launch a surprise attack on the devil's defenders, and then regain control of Jingzhen Mountain in one fell swoop.
After deciding on the battle plan, Yang Ling took the initiative to take on the task of clearing out the enemies in several villages on the east side of Jingzhen Town and breaking the way for the devils to retreat.
And Luo Guoliang's troops took the opportunity to attack Jingzhen Mountain again, wipe out the devils in Jingzhen Mountain, and regain control of this vital area.
Because he was worried about Yang Ling's lack of troops, Luo Guoliang specially asked the battalion commander Hu Qiang to bring his remaining half of the battalion to assist Yang Ling.
In this way, the number of soldiers under Yang Ling's command has reached more than [-]. Except for a little less ammunition, the combat effectiveness has been greatly enhanced, which undoubtedly made him more confident.
After dinner, Yang Ling left the position with more than 500 officers and soldiers, and headed straight to the east of Jingzhen Mountain, preparing to cut off the devil's retreat.
Text 380 Chapter [-] Night Battle Raid
The people in four or five villages on the east side of Jingzhen had all run away before the arrival of the devils, and now they have been occupied by the 103rd regiment of the devils.
