Chapter 757 I Invite the Soldiers to Take a Bath
Wang Meng finished sucking up the noodles like a tornado, then called Meng Fanle out with a dark face.
"Captain Meng, your noses are broken, how come you still can't smell it?"
"Well, maybe we've all been standing next to the manure pit for too long and are used to it, so we don't smell it."
"Hurry up and get me a bar of soap to get rid of the odor!"
"Okay, just wait!"
Meng Fanle said this and slipped out as if he was escaping.
Meng Fanle took this opportunity to invite Master Shihang to take him around the area to get to know the surrounding environment.
This dilapidated temple was built at the foot of a hill. Although the terrain is not high compared to the hill behind it, its location is still good compared to the surrounding areas.
Master Shihang set up an observation post on the top of the hill. Although it was difficult to spot scattered soldiers in the distance in the mountains and dense forests, it would be easy to see if the Japanese used tanks or cars to launch a surprise attack.
If the Japanese choose to use skirmishers to launch a surprise attack, they would be digging their own graves.
In the past, the Dahengshan guerrillas used muskets and bows and arrows, and were able to fight against the Japanese devils, not to mention the current Japanese-style equipment.
Although they did not have a large number of artillery pieces like the Sichuan Army and the Tiger Regiment on the east bank of the Nujiang River, the number of mortars, grenade launchers and light machine guns was much greater than that of the Japanese troops of the same organization.
"Master Shihang, I heard from Captain Meng yesterday that our team has now expanded to more than 1,200 people?"
"No, no, I am no longer the same person as I was yesterday, and the Dahengshan guerrillas of yesterday are no longer the Dahengshan guerrillas of today."
Wang Meng's forehead was full of black lines, and he couldn't help but roar in his heart: Speak something understandable!
Although he was roaring in his heart, he still asked respectfully:
"Master Shihang, what do you mean? How many people are there now?"
"Now more than 1,600 patriots have joined our anti-Japanese war team and vowed to live and die with Dahengshan!"
"Oh my god, so many people?"
Wang Meng sighed from the bottom of his heart. Daheng Mountain is not like Shandong Province, which is densely populated. Daheng Mountain is a typical mountainous area with few people. Sometimes there is no one living in the area for dozens of miles.
And this was behind the Japanese. In order to ensure the safety of the Nantianmen defense line, Takeuchi Renzan captured all the young people and either made them build fortifications or killed them directly.
Therefore, it is really not easy to gather 1,600 people in Daheng Mountain.
"Master Shihang is indeed very charismatic. Now that the business is getting bigger and bigger, I'm afraid a battalion is not enough, right? Otherwise, we can directly organize it according to the regiment, which will be convenient for mobilization, and the command will be smooth in the battle, and the casualties of the soldiers will be reduced a lot!"
Master Shihang had a calm expression. He was not too obsessed with how many soldiers he had. As long as he could drive away the Japanese and reduce the casualties of the soldiers, he would gladly agree.
"Amitabha, good, good! I don't know much about the organization of the troops, so I have to trouble the Chief of Staff to take charge of it personally."
"sure, no problem!"
Wang Meng's plan was to divide these 1,600 people into three infantry battalions, with three infantry companies in each battalion, plus the battalion's own troops, which was almost perfect.
Because of the Nujiang River blocking the way, it was difficult for the Dahengshan guerrillas to obtain heavy weapons such as artillery. He had originally thought of airdropping, but considering that the Dahengshan guerrillas were a surprise force, they might be exposed if they were airdropped directly.
Moreover, light infantry is more flexible behind enemy lines, and the terrain of Daheng Mountain is also suitable for light infantry.
Therefore, Wang Meng planned to organize them all into infantry battalions and infantry companies. In order to ensure firepower, the Dahengshan guerrillas set up a direct heavy firepower company, equipped with six 107mm rocket launchers that had just arrived.
Six 107mm rocket launchers can fire rockets at a time, which is enough to deal with the enemies in Daheng Mountain.
In addition, once the battle to attack Nantianmen begins, the Japanese will definitely come to Nujiang for support. At that time, the mission of the Dahengshan guerrillas will be to stop the enemy! Therefore, individual rocket launchers are also indispensable. In the future, they will rely on them to shoot down the Japanese cars!
Wang Meng had an idea in his mind, so he immediately returned to the dilapidated temple and began to write on paper.
Half an hour later, a complete compilation plan was produced, and Wang Meng handed the plan to Master Shihang.
"Master, you should allocate the number of people according to this. We will slowly transport the instructors, walkie-talkies and other equipment over! In addition, I suggest that you place your three battalions at Nantianmen, Dahengshan Town and the only way to the outside."
Master Shihang showed a puzzled expression. He had always thought that the Dahengshan guerrillas' combat target was Takeuchi Renzan. Why did they withdraw two-thirds of their troops to other places?
"Chief of Staff, I don't quite understand why such an arrangement was made."
"Master Shihang, our goal is to capture Nantianmen and rescue the folks on the west bank of the Nujiang River. So we must go south to Nantianmen, and all combat operations must be carried out around capturing Nantianmen!"
"Yes, if that's the case, then our Dahengshan guerrillas should be deployed to the edge of Takeuchi Renzan. Why are they dispersed?"
“Master Shihang, our planes and heavy artillery will launch a saturation attack on Nantianmen. If you stay here, there is a possibility of accidental injuries. By then, our guerrilla fighters will not die on the battlefield, but will be killed by their own bombs. Isn’t that unfair?
Besides, once the battle breaks out at Nantianmen, the Japanese will certainly send more troops. You are the main force to stop the Japanese reinforcements, and all the burden will fall on you!"
After Wang Meng finished speaking, Master Shihang understood what he meant. This was what the instructor sent by the Independent Column said about encircling the point and attacking the reinforcements, right?
"Chief of Staff Wang, I understand what you said!"
Wang Meng did not say anything more, but urged Master Shihang to reorganize the troops, and transferred elite cadres and squad leaders from the Sichuan Army to the Dahengshan guerrillas to help them quickly set up the framework.
That night, Wang Meng and others reached the Nujiang River again and crossed the river under the cover of darkness.
The next morning, when Long Wenjian was about to run two laps at the training ground, he saw Wang Meng bring a lot of empty gasoline barrels and place them in the training ground.
"Chief of Staff, what are you doing?"
"Oh, I think the soldiers haven't had a good bath for a long time, so I asked the transport company to bring their empty gasoline barrels over and transform them into bathtubs. I want our soldiers to have a good bath!"
Long Wenjian was overjoyed, this thing is really good for taking a bath. When he brought the cannon fodder group back from southern Myanmar, in order to prevent mosquito bites, he got a barrel of oil and asked Meng Fanle and others to squat in the gasoline barrel, turning into real "black people".
"Okay, I'll go tell everyone the good news!"
"Wait, pick out 100 warriors with lean bodies and strong fighting abilities. Be careful not to be too big and strong. Do you understand?"
"Hmm? What is this?"
"Go find it if you ask me to, and keep it a secret!"
