However, a new piece of information had to ask Chief of General Staff You Zhendong to make further adjustments to the battle arrangements that had been set.

The Northwest Military Headquarters of the Democratic Army detected that in order to assist the Yudai Party members in robbing the arms and weapons purchased by the Democratic Army in Nanyang, Luo Yingxiong had secretly dispatched the cavalry of the three regiments of the "Caoji Cavalry" of Dadan Huqin to cross the river and was heading towards the Huashan Valley. The military headquarters also mobilized a brigade of troops to cross the river first to block the attack before the "grass subway ride", but it was unsuccessful due to excessive casualties......

This news was transmitted to the head of the reinforced regiment through the secret agents of the Democratic Army who monitored the Jade Belt Party along the way, and then handed it over to General You Commander.

"That's exactly what we're worried about. Chief You said, "The grass subway cavalry is the strongest cavalry in the Western Regions, and their most threatening weapon against the enemy is a moon scimitar, which is extremely sharp, cutting the neck and arm is like cutting cabbage." Moreover, the war horse is so fast that it rushes over like a gust of wind, so that you can't even take aim with your gun. So our troops were unable to stop and suffered heavy casualties. ”

Hearing the analysis of the commander-in-chief, the commander of the reinforced regiment said:

"It seems that Luo Yingxiong is going to send this cavalry to rob our arms and weapons, he has three regiments, we have one regiment, we can only fight!"

"Nope. What our Northwest Army lacks is cavalry, and this reinforced light cavalry regiment organized this time is the only cavalry team, but we don't have to fight the cavalry of his three regiments now. ”

Commander You took the commander of the light cavalry to the escort team and asked the commander to command the soldiers to unload the rifle boxes and ammunition boxes on the car and hide them in the forest.

Napoleon and Navalon's thirty cannons were removed and hidden, and twenty six-zero guns were left on the cart to be pulled by five wagons, carrying all the shells.

Fill the car with branches and camouflage.

The rest of the carts, along with the coachman, the six school flowers, Li Tianwang and Lord Lu Lin, were also arranged to hide in the dense forest.

Then General Manager You asked the head of the reinforced regiment:

"Are there any soldiers or officers in these three battalions who can shoot artillery?"

Head of the Regiment said:

"Let me think about it, it seems that the commander of the second battalion knows some artillery technology, so he called the commander of the second battalion. ”

After a while, the commander of the second battalion of the reinforced regiment arrived, and after being asked by General Commander You, he learned that this battalion commander had studied at the Oriental Artillery School during the previous dynasty, and he was proficient in ordinary artillery, not to mention the relatively simple operation of the 60 gun.

Chief of General Staff You Zhendong said to the regiment commander that this cunning Luo Yingxiong was afraid that it would be difficult to succeed in robbing our arms with only 40 jade and party members, so he thought of using three regiments of cavalry to destroy our escort and strengthen the regiment, and then cooperate with the jade belt party to loot our arms and weapons. To deal with this group of fierce cavalry, we can only use artillery bombardment, and now we will set up a lore array for him.

Then he said to the second battalion commander:

"You are a student of artillery, and you know what kind of people are suitable for operating artillery, so you will select twenty soldiers in your battalion and train them so that they can quickly master the shooting skills of the 60 gun, are you sure?"

The second battalion commander asked:

"How much time can you give me?"

Chief You opened the military map, looked at it for a while, and replied:

"A day and a half at most, at least a day. ”

"Enough time, I'm sure I'll complete my mission!"

"Okay, I'll give it back to the military headquarters

You ask for merit and commendation. The chief said.

After the commander of the second battalion returned, he quickly selected 20 soldiers with excellent eyesight, flexible minds, and quick reactions, unloaded two 60 guns from the car, and began to train new gunners.

In fact, this 60 artillery is a kind of position killing cannon that is the easiest to operate, erected, the barrel is diagonally upward, as long as the shell is pushed hard from the muzzle when firing, the shell will hit the firing pin below and fire out.

However, what needs to be mastered is whether the direction and distance of the shell can be accurately adjusted, that is, whether it can accurately hit the target.

This is the main content of the training to be carried out by the second battalion commander.

In fact, it looks difficult, and it is easy to operate, because the shooting direction is easy to find, and the distance is determined by the slope of the barrel, and the battery mount of this batch of 60 guns has a rotating ruler to adjust the slope of the barrel, and there are scales on it, as long as the scale is right, the shells will inevitably shoot to the designated position and explode.

In this short period of one day, Chief of General Staff You Zhendong and the commander of the reinforced regiment went to survey the terrain and choose a favorable terrain for our army to set up an artillery array.

At the edge of the dense forest, ten miles away from the area where the munitions were hidden, there was a pass less than a mile wide, and what was even more advantageous to me was that the pass was rocky and the sixty-zero cannon was placed.

And if the cavalry of the three regiments of "steppe iron cavalry" wanted to attack the escort of the democratic army, they had to pass through there, because horses could not pass through dense forests, let alone through thousands of cliffs and mountains.

And to destroy the cavalry of those three regiments, there must be enough shells, so the commander-in-chief asked all the shells purchased this time to be ready for use.

After the position was chosen, the artillery was immediately placed, and the muzzles of the ten 60 guns were adjusted in the direction of the fan surface. Twenty gunners were in position and were to obey the command of the second battalion commander in a unified manner.

Of the other officers and men of the reinforced regiment, one battalion of soldiers armed with carbines protected the artillery positions, while the rest hid in the dense forest to protect the munitions, weapons and personnel.

There were also two Czech light machine guns in the escort unit, which were high-powered firearms that fired in bursts and were no less lethal and threatening to the cavalry than 60 guns.

The fire deployment to block the cavalry of the "grass subway cavalry" was that under the cover of the rocks in the pass, the light machine guns and carbines were hidden behind the rocks in the front, and ten 60 guns were behind them. The artillery bombarded from afar, the closer enemy cavalry fired with machine guns, and the closer enemy could be wiped out by carbine shells.

Commander You Zhendong predicted that if the enemy's cavalry attack was blocked, the Jade Belt Party would rush into the dense forest and eventually discover the hiding location of the munitions and weapons, so he ordered Xiao Xiaohan and You Xiaojing to stand by in the munitions and weapons hiding place in the dense forest.

In the afternoon of that day, the men of the reinforced regiment received an order to pass the regular dinner earlier, so that the officers and men could rest well and prepare for battle.

Before leaving for the artillery position, General Commander You repeatedly explained to the officers and men who were carrying out the protection of the arms and weapons that the carbine should be loaded with live ammunition, and that it was found that someone was close to the artillery and killed.

This is to guard against a sneak attack by the Jade Belt Party members at any time. Of course, the chief also took into account that the law of war does not depend on the will of the people, and unexpected situations can occur at any time, so we can only do our best to improve them.

Xiao Xiaohan and You Xiaojing's task is to monitor the space, because there is a carbine array on the ground that is tightly sealed, and that shot is thirty rounds

If the bullet is fired continuously, the power is infinite. However, they also had to guard against the sneak attack of the Jade Belt Party members who had the ability to skim the air, so they had to pay close attention to the movements above their heads, and the strong man Li Tianwang also asked to participate in the battle, this little woodcutter who was always active in the forest had a keen ability to detect the slightest movement in the forest.

The battle began early in the morning.

An earth-shattering neighing of horses and the shouts of men came from the direction of the pass, followed by three dull cannon shots, followed by a continuous boom of cannons, and the howls of ghosts and wolves could be heard, the last neighing of the horses when they fell to the ground, and the screams of the people before they went to hell.

The earth trembled with the sound of cannons, and the smoke of gunfire and gunpowder soared into the clouds, and the broken branches and stones rushed into the sky and fell down with a bang.

This was followed by the same howl of ghosts and wolves, mixed with the clatter of light machine guns and carbines.

There was a gap in the sound of the artillery, which was the regrouping of the repulsed opponents, and then there was a more intensive roar, and the mournful shouts continued.

Gunsmoke and dust filled the sky, and for a moment it was dark.

At this time, the commander-in-chief, You Zhendong, came to the depths of the dense forest where the arms and weapons were hidden, and told everyone that the enemy's cavalry had suffered more than half of the casualties in the artillery fire, and if they did not retreat, the whole army would be annihilated. Now you have to pay attention to this place, the cavalry can't rush up, and the Jade Belt Party members won't give up.

As he spoke, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out, fired by soldiers of the nearby reinforced regiments.

"They're coming!" Li Tianwang shouted at this time, pointing to the sky above the forest in front of him.

In the branches of the forest about twenty zhang away, there was a bang, Xiao Xiaohan had already jumped over to fight the enemy who came to him, and he had already seen two black shadows fall to the ground from above, making a thumping sound.

These two people, one of them was the middle-level leader black-headed goshawk, and the head of the headquarters, Jiang Shuishui, asked him to take the lead and kill himself.

You Xiaojing also flew up with the method of Tai Chi Light Gong, and there were bursts of shouts and screams in the space, and several black shadows fell.

The five Jade Belt Party members who had rushed into the dense forest were dealt with, and when they saw that the space had been blocked, more than ten of the Jade Belt Party demons behind them rushed here from the ground, and the box guns in their hands shot at the officers and soldiers of the reinforced regiment.

General Commander You Zhendong has gone to the officers and men of the reinforced regiment to take command and ordered:

"Hold them down with fire and don't let them come close!"

Although the Jade Belt Party members were holding a box cannon, it was a pistol level after all, and the range was relatively short, while the range of the carbine was much farther than that of the box gun, so Chief You asked the soldiers to press the rushing enemy far away, so that their shooting could not exert its power.

The carbine fired a volley, knocking down seven or eight more enemies.

As if echoing each other from afar, the artillery on the other side of the pass was roaring and rumbling, mixed with the clatter of machine guns and carbines, the desperate neighing of horses, and the screams of men before their desperation.

Xiao Xiaohan and You Xiaojing went to the top of the tall tree, waited for the battle, and found the target with light skills, so that the enemy could not determine their body position, so they had to blindly fire a gun, and the jade belt party members who were sent to death were finally killed.

Before the pass of the enemy cavalry was stopped, there were fallen horses and the corpses of dead enemy cavalry......
