Chapter 160 Xuanyue Lake
Dan Cai said coldly, "Zhou Jun, let me ask you, are you familiar with the terrain of Xuanyue Lake?"
"I'm not familiar with it."
"When outsiders enter Xuanyue Lake, even in broad daylight, people can also hit the wall. In the middle of the night, they can't see their fingers. How do you command the battle?" Dancai said, "The area of Xuanyue Lake is the territory of the rich in Kana. The mountains are high and dense, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, and the terrain is extremely complex. Except for the rich in Kana, other Zou tribes do not know the path there. Many people don't know what's good or bad and can't get out when they go in. You just go like this. I'm afraid you can't beat the Japanese and you can't get out of it.
Zhou Charter woke up and hurriedly asked, "Does the Dancai warrior want to lead the way for Zhang Jun?"
Dan Cai said, "I was ordered by Miss Mei to lead the female guard to lead the way to Zhang Jun."
"Is it Miss Mei who asked you to come here?" Zhou Charter was surprised. What medicine is sold in this Merry Creek gourd? Just now, he almost turned against himself. After a while, he sent his guard to help Zhang Jun.
"Does Chief Zhou not believe in Miss Mei?" Dan Cai asked back.
"Believe, of course. Then there will be the Lao Dancai warrior." Zhou Charter was overjoyed, and Merry Creek was willing to take action, indicating that she didn't care about what happened tonight. As long as Meilixi is willing to cooperate, Alishan will really become the base of Zhang Jun!
The crowd united and hurried out of the village gate and went down the mouth of the gourd.
The Zhangjun special forces stationed outside the mouth of the gourd have long been ready to fight and are under the mountain.
A company commander saluted Zhou Charter: "Report to the army commander, Deputy Brigadier Yan has sent two battalions to build a blocking position on the cliff in front of him to guard against the Japanese army in Xuanyue Lake. However, the terrain there is too complex, and now it is night, and it is difficult for the troops to start. Please make a determination. This is the deployment map of Brigadier Yan.
In the Battle of Chiayi, Yan Qionglin played well and skillfully in the area of Pu Zixi. Practice proved that the former commander-in-chief of the Qing Dynasty was still very talented. Zhou Charter simply promoted Yan Qionglin to deputy brigade commander of the independent brigade. At the same time, the regiment-level units of the independent brigade were abolished. The independent brigade directly under the jurisdiction of five infantry battalions, an artillery battalion and a special forces directly under the brigade, with a total strength of 5,000 people. It is slightly less than a Japanese brigade, but more mobile.
Zhou Charter took the drawing, looked at it with a torch and nodded.
Yan Qionglin led the main force of the independent brigade to follow the special forces into Alishan. In accordance with the requirements of Zhou Charter, he has been keeping a distance of 20 miles from the special forces and moving forward. When the special forces were blocked at the mouth of the gourd, they traveled independently to the Hunan side of Xuanyue. Yan Qionglin did not make a risk, but occupied the commanding heights on the spot and formed a guard against the mouth of the gourd. On the deployment map, the two battalions of the independent brigade are guarded on the two peaks south of Xuanyue Lake. These two peaks can overlook Xuanyue Lake and respond to the gourd mouth behind them, while the other three infantry battalions are hidden in the jungle by the lake, and the artillery battalions follow behind the infantry battalion, but they are not unfolded.
It should be said that this is a more reasonable deployment. Moreover, Yan Qionglin is not in a hurry to launch the artillery battalion, which is also reasonable. The terrain around Xuanyue Lake is extremely complex. Before finding a suitable position, it is an adventure to launch artillery.
This Yan Qionglin comes from a professional background and has a regular deployment. Such a deployment can make the independent brigade invincible, but there is no good direction to destroy the Japanese army.
On the deployment map, the Japanese army is deployed on the north shore of Xuanyue Lake. The map only identifies the Japanese garrison, while the terrain of the Japanese deployment area is hardly marked, which is blank.
"What's going on?" Zhou Charter pointed to the blank in the picture and asked.
"Report to the commander, we just arrived in this area yesterday and have not had time to detect the terrain on the north shore of Xuanyue Lake. It's not yet dawn. Although they have sent search troops, they have not returned yet. We have not figured out the situation of the Japanese garrison area for the time being." The company commander said.
Dan Cai sneered: "I'm afraid your search force can't get out!" Without the rich leader of Kana, you dare to break into Xuanyue Lake!"
Yao Xi was shocked: "What should I do with this one?"
Zhou Charter hurriedly said to Dancai, "Please also ask Dancai Warriors to find a way to bring our search team out."
"Don't worry, they won't starve to death in one night." Dan Cai said, "When it's dawn, we will naturally find them back. What should you do with the Japanese opposite?"
"Thank you, Dancai Warriors." Zhou Charter then said to the company commander, "How did you find the Japanese army?"
"The Japanese army camped on the north bank of Xuanyue Lake and lit a bonfire." The company commander said, "We are on the south bank. Chief Yan once sent three reconnaissance troops, but we haven't come back yet. We can't get close to the Japanese army because we are not familiar with the terrain."
Zhou Charter nodded. It seems that Merry Creek had long expected this situation - the two sides looked across the lake, because the two sides were not familiar with the terrain, and no one could approach each other and dared not launch an attack.
"When did the Japanese arrive?"
"It's about 12 p.m."
Zhou Charter looked at his watch. It was 6 a.m., which means that the Japanese army had been here for six hours.
Guo Er pole scolded: "Damn, this Yan Qionglin is timid and afraid of things. The Japanese came all the way. They can just catch them off guard when their foothold is unstable. Now it's okay. Let them rest for six hours and calm down. This is fucking a fighter! Military commander, you wait here. Before that group of Japanese figure out our reality, I will kill them with an independent brigade. Otherwise, at dawn, they will find that we are better than them and run away!"
Zhang Jun's independent brigade has nearly 5,000 people, while the Japanese army has only 2,000 people. The two sides are almost the same equipment, and Zhang Jun has an absolute advantage. This battle can be described as a cannon hitting mosquitoes.
Zhou Charter snorted and asked, "Where is Yan Qionglin?"
"In the high ground on the right."
Zhou Charter nodded: "The special forces are on standby, and the others follow me to have a look!"
Under the leadership of the company commander, everyone walked more than ten miles to a mountain. It was six o'clock in the morning. The moon sank and a star appeared in the sky. At the darkest time of the day, it was dark everywhere. Because they couldn't see the road, Zhang's officers and soldiers stumbled and fell to the ground from time to time. Even the company commander who led the road fell several times.
Being him, Dancai's voice came: "Let's lead the way."
Dan Cai and her female soldiers quickly walked to the front of the team. These Alishan women were all strong and familiar with the terrain. Even if the black lights were blind, they still walked like flying. Everyone's marched greatly and went up to the peak in less than half an hour.
Yan Qionglin's headquarters was set up under a cliff, cutting down trees and building a shelter. There was a dead corner of observation. Horse lamps were lit in the headquarters, which was difficult for the Japanese army to find on the other side.
Yan Qionglin saluted Zhou Charter: "Military commander! The Japanese are on the other side."
Zhou Charter came to the side of the bunker and looked out from the observation hole.
The highland chosen by Yan Qionglin is indeed very advantageous. Even in the darkness before dawn, you can see the situation on the lake. The star is reflected in the lake, showing the outline of Xuanyue Lake. There are some faint lights on the other side of the lake, which should be the Japanese camp. However, in the night, the terrain on the other side can't be seen clearly.
Guo Ergang scolded, "Yan Qionglin, what the hell are you still doing here? Hurry up and take someone to kill this group of Japanese!" There are only 2,000 of them!"
Yan Qionglin Lizheng said, "Blv commander, fighting in the jungle is very different from fighting in the plain. Because of the jungle, it is difficult to deploy firepower and troops. Even if the terrain is weak, the defending side can cause great damage to the enemy with a complex jungle environment. In the case of unknown terrain, I'm afraid it's unfavorable to attack rashly.
"Are you the brigade commander or am I the brigade commander!" Guo Er said angrily.
Zhou Charter waved his hand: "Let's ask Dan Cai to take a look at the situation."
Dan Cai came to the observation hole. Zhou Charter held the deployment map drawn by Yan Qionglin and pointed to the opposite bank and said, "Dan Cai, take a look at the place where there is fire. What's the situation around? Yan Qionglin, you draw what Dan Cai said on the picture.
This Xuanyue Lake is an alpine lake in Ali Mountain. In fact, it is the inner lake of the rich in Kana. It is dozens of miles and is the territory of the rich in Kana. Other tribes regard Xuanyue Lake as a maze, and in the eyes of the rich in Kana, it is equivalent to their own back garden. When Dancai saw the firelight on the other side, he knew the location and what terrain was around it.
Dan Cai said, and Yan Qionglin drew it. After a while, the blank area of the deployment map was filled with valleys and mountains.
Yan Qionglin handed over the deployment plan to Zhou Charter. Zhou Charter looked at it and handed it to Guo Erba. Guo Erpole took it over and took a breath of breath.
The so-called Xuanyue Lake, the whole lake body is like a curved moon. The north bank is Shangxuan, and the south bank is Xiaxuan. The area defended by the Japanese army happens to be on Xuanbei, where there is a mountain peak called Fumo Mountain, which is the highest peak around Xuanyue Lake. If cannons are installed on it, the firepower can control the whole lake and the south bank of Xuanyue Lake. On the left and right sides of Volmo Mountain, there are five highlands, and the highlands and Volmo Mountain rely on each other. The forest around Fumo Mountain is dense, while the mountain body of Fumo Mountain is steep, with three cliffs, facing the lake. The lake is a beach, but the beach is flat, which is not covered. Fumo Mountain and the five surrounding highlands can just form crossfire to the beach.
That's a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack! If Zhang Jun attacks rashly, he can only forcibly climb the rock, or launch a strong attack from the front beach to Fumo Mountain. No matter which way of attack it is, he will hit the egg and hit the stone, and it will inevitably break the head!
Guo Erbar scolded: "It must be that son of Anan who led the Japanese to this place!" Damn, 2,000 Japanese troops are guarding Fumo Mountain, which is equivalent to doubling their troops!"
