"Captain, how could you have this idea? The war horses we seized before can be used for cavalry, but they are traded for the Eighth Route friendly forces to exchange cars. Why do you think of fiddling with the cavalry company again?" Jiang Dajiang was a little surprised.

"I suddenly had this idea. Well, the situation we face in the future will become more and more serious. It's not just that things like oil will become more and more intimidating and even if you have money, you won't get it."

"Although this horse riding is much slower than driving, it doesn't need to burn oil in the war horse. It just needs to eat grass, drink water and add some concentrated feed! We can't get the oil, but we can still get the concentrated feed!"

"You know, sometimes this mobility is also a major factor in the success or failure of the battle!" Hu Yizhou said.

"This...is probably not easy to deal with. You know the situation in our family. Our security team has many horses, many mules, and dozens of yellow oxen. There may be war horses used for cavalry wars, but there are no..."

"I thought about leaving some, but you didn't say you wanted it. The Eighth Route Army still liked it tightly, so I gave it up..." Jiang Dajiang said.

"Hey, I blame me for this. I didn't think about it here at the beginning. I just thought about building an arsenal and a car! People have no future and will have immediate worries. When the Japanese are over this mobilization, I will find a way to build some war horses!" Hu Yizhou said.

"Okay, as long as you have this idea, let's keep the war horses seized in the future! Are you still okay? I'll go to the bottom of the Buddha cliff if you have nothing to do?" Jiang Dajiang asked.

"Go, be careful!" Hu Yizhou said.

"So do you!" Jiang Dajiang turned around and left.

"Master Dao, please send it out. The first row is in the east and the second row is in the west. The sniper platoon also follows and let them occupy the commanding heights of the mountains around us! After the automobile air defense company came back, it would find a way to put some anti-aircraft machine guns on the top of the mountain!" Hu Yizhou said.

"Okay, leave this matter to me!" said Dao Master.

"Sun Xiaobao, come in!" Hu Yizhou shouted.

"Report to the leader, I'm here!" Sun Xiaobao walked in.

"Sun Xiaobao, wait a moment, your sniper platoon followed the two special battle platoons to the high ground in the west and occupied all the surrounding mountains! Then you send a few sniper teams to try to sneak north and move to see if you can snipe the Japanese brigade commander!" Hu Yizhou said.

"Yes!" Sun Xiaobao said with a light in his eyes.

"Well, go ahead. When choosing a sniper position, you must pay attention to your retreat. Don't get yourself in a desperate situation. You must also be careful of the Japanese artillery fire retaliation! The Japanese's independent mixed brigade has more than a dozen mountain artillery fields!" Hu Yizhou said.

"I understand!" Sun Xiaobao ran away.

"Captain, I have always wanted to ask, if we line up all the heavy troops on the periphery, there are only left behind Jiuzhai, militia companies and militiamen, at most, plus the escort company of the Logistics Support Battalion. In this way, is our defense a little too empty? I am always uneasy!" Master Dao asked.

"Master Dao, please keep your heart in your stomach. Why did I decide to stop using the truck after shipping this batch of copper? Just for this!"

"These three points of ours are the three fists we put outside. Once the Japanese break through a little, then the other two points can be quickly returned to defense, and there will be enough troops at the defense point after returning to defense!"

"The trucks from the Logistics Support Battalion are used to transport troops to us!" Hu Yizhou said.

"Okay, just have a good idea! Commander, when the Japanese have finished sweeping, should we recruit some new recruits? The first battalion cannot always replenish the battalion." Master Dao asked.

"Recruit new recruits... Then recruit some more, the number of people should not exceed 300. No matter how many, we really can't afford to support them! Don't forget that we still have more than a thousand people from the arsenal that need to be raised!" Hu Yizhou said.

"I understand!" Master Dao didn't say anything else.

In fact, Master Dao also understands that the Jiuzhai Security Group controls too small, and there are too few places that can produce grain within the scope. Nowadays, except for Jiuzhai, there are Matian, Sucheng Township and Nanweiquan, which are considered places that produce grain.

But judging from the situation this year, these three places may be attacked by the Japanese. Fortunately, they collected summer grains and traded a large amount of grain from friendly forces to store them, otherwise they might have gone hungry...

Well, there is always not enough food...

"What's the situation with the Japanese?" Hu Yizhou asked the combat staff in the command room.

"Report to the regiment commander, the two Japanese brigades did not rush to attack after occupying Gujiao Mountain, but were stepping up forgings to build fortifications, as if they were going to fight for a long time. However, Gujiao Mountain's stones were hard and the Japanese were slow to make progress."

"The Japanese reinforcements have just arrived, and the situation has not been clear yet!" a combat staff officer replied.

"Dingling..." The phone rang, and the correspondent quickly picked up the phone.

"Report to the regiment commander, the observation post reported that the Japanese were sending 12 field artillery guns from the artillery team to Gujiao Mountain. It seems that they are going to establish artillery positions on the mountain." The correspondent said.

"Well... Lao Xiang, have you prepared the coordinate system at Gujiao Mountain?" Hu Yizhou asked.

"I have already prepared the regiment commander, but I have never had the chance to fire!" Xiang Dongfang said.

"Well, the opportunity is here now! Lao Jiang's playing style is still a bit conservative, but he can't blame him. He doesn't know how strong the Japanese's local working ability is. Therefore, we can't let the Japanese repair fortifications there safely!"

"Old Jiang, prepare your two 120mm mortar companies. Let's take advantage of the fact that the Japanese have not yet gained a stable foothold and have not had anti-aircraft fortifications! At least, we must drive the Japanese out of the range of our heavy mortars!" Hu Yizhou said.

"Okay, this is good!" said Xiang Dongfang.

"Well, wait a moment... The communications soldier, tell the frontier observation post to determine the general location of the Japanese. If you can determine the location of the Japanese command center, the best! Also, call the western high ground and ask them to tell the second platoon of the Special War Reconnaissance Company that there is no hurry to snipe the Japanese brigade commander, let us fire a few shots first."

"Yes!" The correspondent picked up the phone.

At this time, the second platoon of the Special War Reconnaissance Company had crossed the river and was climbing up the mountain. He was soon informed of the situation. As for the row in the east, Hu Yizhou did not stop them, so he still had to climb the mountain.

After the communications soldiers made the phone call, they waited slowly. No matter how elite the soldiers at the front-line observation posts were, they had to have time to reconnaise.

“Hurry, work hard together…”

"Don't stop even if you use force. Be sure to establish an artillery position before dark!"

"Bang...shush..."

To the north, on the northern slope of Gujiao Mountain, the Japanese artillery soldiers were lifting mountain cannons and field cannons to the mountain little by little, and they became dogs one by one. There were also pack horses who worked hard to act as heavy labor under the whip.

Yes, the artillery is very majestic, especially those who have tractors or animals in the plains. But once the artillery enters the mountains, it will be a nightmare experience.

Mortars, 37 guns, such as the Security Corps, are better, after all, the weight is limited. If it is replaced by the Japanese mountain artillery and field artillery troops, it would be miserable.

Well, if the security team does not help, these Japanese artillery soldiers will have a miserable afternoon.

"Report to the regiment commander, Frontier Observation Post report: The Japanese artillery was pulling guns up the slope of the north slope of the corner mountain. The No. 1 gun was 39 meters in the direction of the No. 1 marker 1 at 12 o'clock, and the No. 2 gun was..."

"Also, the Japanese brigade command was established at a mountain pass not far from Liao County, and it was able to escape our heavy mortar range. Well, that's the case!"

When the communications soldiers of the observation post were reported, Xiang Dongfang took a small notebook and recorded the coordinate points there. Because the front-line observation post was not only monitoring the Japanese, but also responsible for providing ballistic guidance to the artillery, the objects used were the same.

"Okay, Lao Xiang, you heard it, the coordinates have been determined, and the rest depends on you! The east and west of the corner mountain is only one and a half kilometers, and at most five hundred meters north and south. You don't lack shells, so use shells to plow me hard on the mountain!"

"Don't you still have some white phosphorus bombs here? After the plow is finished, use white phosphorus bombs to burn them! There are more than 2,000 Japanese on the mountain now, it's worth it!" Hu Yizhou said.

"Captain, are you not kidding?" Zhai Changlin, who had not spoken, asked.

"How can military orders be fun?" Hu Yizhou asked back.
