Chapter 500 Yi River
Wang Meng sighed. Yu Xiaoqing was a talented person, but he had been completely changed by this era. His life was too twisted.
Maybe one day in the future, he and Yu Xiaoqing could sit down and have a couple of drinks, and he would definitely talk to him about all the thoughts in his heart.
"Let's go, how have you been doing in actual combat during this period!"
Long Wenjian was the first to take over the conversation.
"Chief of Staff, we now have five infantry battalions. Every day we send a team to the other side to conduct reconnaissance and sneak attacks. The Japanese are probably scared by us and now they are like little wives who don't go out!
Our Sichuan Army has killed more than 150 Japanese soldiers in total."
Han Chao was not to be outdone and pushed Long Wenjian aside.
"Chief of Staff, although our Tiger Regiment arrived late, we fought the Japs decisively. We killed more than 200 Japs in total!"
"Chief of Staff, although the Tiger Regiment arrived late, they have many veterans, while our Sichuan Army has very few veterans!"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Wang Meng quickly laughed it off.
"Oh, they are all good! They are all veterans after fighting several battles! Didn't the Japanese notice that you frequently crossed the river from the northern suspension bridge?"
"Chief of Staff, the Japanese discovered the suspension bridge a long time ago and blew it up. Now we have pulled a rope and are hanging on it to cross the river back and forth!"
Wang Meng had long expected that the suspension bridge would be discovered by the Japanese, because every day when they crossed the river and strolled around the other side as if they were strolling in their own yard, they would kill two Japanese soldiers at the same time. How could they tolerate this?
But it doesn’t matter if the suspension bridge is destroyed. Wang Meng can prepare a large number of pontoon bridge troops, and when the time is right, he can build a pontoon bridge directly on the Nujiang River and approach the Japanese riverside defense line.
"Captain Long, Captain Han, you still need to train the soldiers as quickly as possible. All training should focus on crossing the river. Don't do anything vain.
In addition, you must find out the firepower points of the opposite river defense. Once the battle starts in the future, the first thing you need to do is to eliminate the Japanese firepower points!
Each of your two regiments should make a river defense map of the other side. The more detailed the better, including the Japanese's defense in depth. Let me be frank, the main attack mission is to be completed by the well-prepared troops. The regiment that completes the task best will be the main attacker!"
Long Wenjian and Han Chao immediately stood at attention and saluted.
Wang Meng and Lin Shubing wandered around Zenda for a while and then returned to southern Shanxi.
In Pingshun, Li Yunlong and Wang Meng focused all their attention on waiting for news from Country M.
"Mengzi, will the Americans accept our terms?"
Wang Meng smacked his lips.
"Old Li, to be honest, I'm not sure, but there's no other way now. Let's just give it a try!"
Li Yunlong nodded. He thought, he might as well give it a try. What if he could get it?
"By the way, I've seen your plan. Next we have to go to Weishan Lake to check out the situation there. Can I go and take a look?"
When Wang Meng heard this, he immediately pushed Li Yunlong down on the stool, making him unable to move at all.
"Old Li, you'd better stay in Pingshun. I have to go to Weishan Lake. I have to see with my own eyes how their team is developing!"
Li Yunlong shook his head slightly. He had originally planned to take a stroll around Weishan Lake and try the big wild carp there.
Since I heard Monk Wei tell me about the grilled fish from Weishan Lake, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the meat was delicious, I have been craving for it. I always thought that if I had the chance, I would go there for a stroll and taste the flavor of the grilled fish from Weishan Lake.
But what no one expected was that this opportunity was snatched away by Wang Meng.
"Well, I am your superior after all. Do you want to accept the organization's arrangement? "
"Old Li, don't you like to grow flowers? Then you can stay in Pingshun and grow flowers well. When I come back, I will bring you some dried fish and shrimps!"
After Wang Meng finished speaking, he took Wei Dayong and 201 soldiers from the reconnaissance company of the st Airborne Regiment, disguised themselves, divided into three groups, and marched towards Weishan Lake in three directions.
The purpose of Wang Meng and his group's trip was not only to check on the situation of the Weishan Lake Independent Regiment, but also to have an important task, which was to find out the terrain from southern Shanxi to Weishan Lake, as well as the Japanese's deployment.
After all, in the future they will advance from Pingshun all the way to Weishan Lake.
Therefore, we must understand the terrain along the way in advance. Even if the Japanese troop deployment will change, the terrain will not change in a short time unless the Japanese use heavy artillery and bombs to forcibly change it.
At nightfall, Wang Meng and others entered a river about 20 meters wide, and then squatted in the grass by the river.
"Monk, have you memorized this river? Have you forgotten the surveying assignment I taught you?"
Monk Wei turned on the dim flashlight and held it in his mouth while he hurriedly drew on the paper and said incoherently:
"Don't worry, Chief of Staff! We are all carefully selected scouts. How can this little map assignment be difficult for us?"
"Well, our military map is too old. Look, the river has been changed, but it's still clearly drawn on the map!"
Monk Wei quickly mapped the surrounding terrain.
"Chief of Staff, we are traveling at night and observing the terrain during the day. Isn't that a bit slow? I'm afraid it will delay our mission!"
"Well, after we pass Zheng County, we will separate from the soldiers. You lead a squad of soldiers and follow me straight to Weishan Lake. The other two groups of soldiers plus our two squads will scout all the way!"
"Okay, then I can eat grilled fish again soon!"
Monk Wei seemed to see these grilled fish waving at him.
"Wei Heshang, you are indeed a soldier trained by Lao Li. You are just like him. When you mention grilled fish with Fenjiu, your mind wanders to who knows where."
"Hey, work and rest together! Didn't you always teach us to fight well when we are at war, and eat well when we are eating?"
Wang Meng chuckled, shook his head, and waved his hand.
"What is this river called?"
"Yihe!"
A string in Wang Meng's heart jumped for a while, and then he began to search in his mind.
"Yihe? This place name seems a little familiar, but I can't remember it for the moment!"
Just as Wang Meng was thinking hard, the scouts who had advanced five kilometers suddenly rushed back!
"Chief of Staff, Commander, we have spotted a large number of dark figures ahead, estimated to be several hundred people. And they are all on the high ground on both sides of the river. We are still unclear about their identities, how about we take a detour?"
Wang Meng looked at the dark sky which still had a glimmer of light, shook his head and said:
"I'll go up and take a look first!"
