At the foot of Shibao Mountain, 7.5 kilometers north of Huangshaping, Zheng Yi, his officers and three local leaders were also having a heated discussion, and the focus of the topic was whether the enemy with superior forces would come out to meet him.

Zheng Yi saw that the more everyone talked about the bigger the differences, so he had to signal to stop the discussion and tell everyone his reasoning:

"Actually, I am not completely sure that I will transfer the enemy out to fight, and I don't dare to take the initiative to attack before seeing the enemy's response, everything depends on the Chaling surprise attack under the command of Commander Zhao Jingting......"

"As long as the strange soldiers led by Commander Zhao launch an attack on Chaling City, whether they can be defeated or not, it will make the enemy on the opposite side fall into panic. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"That's when it's the best time for us to take the initiative."

Li Zhao, Li Lianshan, and others nodded frequently, and the staff officers of the division headquarters sitting around silently wrote down the words of the division commander and the complicated battle situation that they had never encountered.

The three local leaders did not have much military foundation, so they got together and discussed for a long time, and finally Li Shun'an, the military commissar of the local county committee, raised a question:

"What should we do if the enemy continues to remain in Huangsha Ping, neither attacking nor withdrawing?"

Zheng Yi replied solemnly: "Then maintain the status quo and confront the enemy until the enemy takes the initiative to retreat, we must not show the slightest timidity, otherwise we are likely to lose everything!" ”

"Therefore, I hope that Comrade Shun'an will lead the Red Guards to tightly control the more than 500 prisoners of Youxian County, and absolutely not allow these prisoners to escape from the circle surrounded by carriages."

Li Shunan thought nervously for a moment, and soon realized: "Oops, I understand!" No wonder you gave us weapons and ammunition before dawn, and asked us to change into your uniforms, because we and more than 500 prisoners were used as suspicious soldiers! ”

Li Zhao smiled and said, "That's true! Regardless of the final result, we can't let the enemy realize that we are missing nearly a thousand men in our ranks. ”

"In fact, in addition to asking you to assist as suspicious soldiers, several of our reconnaissance detachments were busy all night, successively killing seven scouts sent by the enemy, capturing two of them, and after interrogating them overnight, they obtained a lot of accurate information, and then decided to stop advancing in this place where the terrain is favorable to us, establish a position, and wait for the enemy to attack!"

Seeing that the three local comrades still hadn't figured it out, Zheng Yi had no choice but to explain in detail: "According to our judgment, it won't be long before the enemy, who has twice as many troops as us, will take the initiative to attack us. ”

"The enemy's base is Pingjiang and Liuyang in the north, and they are following the orders of the Kuomintang Provincial Government of Hunan Province and the Changsha Garrison Headquarters to attack the communist forces in eastern and southern Hunan in the south.

"If we were to go to other counties to attack the city, how would they explain to the Kuomintang Provincial Government of Hunan Province and the Changsha Garrison Headquarters? So, we can not fight this battle, but the enemy can't afford not to fight! ”

At this time, Xu Maofu, the commander of the special service company, hurriedly arrived: "The enemy has come out, with a strength of about three battalions, and no artillery or mortars have been found yet!" ”

All the officers Huo Ran stood up, and Zheng Yi finally smiled: "Panyan-"

"Here!"

Pan Yan, the guard standing at the door, strode in.

"Go, bring my rifle, plus three boxes of ammunition! Today, I finally seized the opportunity to guide you to practice guns. Zheng Yi said as he sorted out the Colt pistol and two sets of leather magazines on his waist.

Pan Yan was very excited, his eyes widened and said, "I'll go now, at least bring five boxes of bullets......

……

……

Morning, 10:40.

Yan Zhongru led the three battalions of the First Regiment with about 1,200 officers and men out of the valley, divided into three routes, and slowly forced the Shibaoshan position temporarily constructed by the three companies of the instructor.

The two-kilometer radius is covered with paddy fields and large and small ponds, and the area of more than 100 meters near the attacking side is scattered with seven thorny rocky hills, and only one road leading directly to the north and south is flat.

In such a complex and changeable terrain, let alone a charge, even if you walk on it, you have to twist your feet carefully.

The position where the instructor was located was overgrown with dense clumps of bamboo and arbor, making it impossible for the opponent to judge how many troops were hidden inside, and only the carriage array blocked between the two hills could be seen at a glance.

However, at its widest point, less than twelve meters on the road that could be used for a quick attack, a forced charge along a relatively flat road would be enough for the opponent to use the heavy machine gun hidden between the two wagons, which would be enough to keep hundreds of enemies in return.

In the first tentative fire, the First Regiment of the Hunan Army, which was divided into three ways to attack, had not yet reached 300 meters in front of our army's position, and under the precise blows of five Czech light machine guns and more than 200 Czech rifles, more than 100 people were killed and wounded, and it was forced to retreat to the starting point of more than 500 meters in the rear.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Xiaowu, the commander of the regiment who had palpitations, had not yet made a decision, and the attack order of the division commander Yan Zhongru quickly came from the rear, and the herald also brought Zhou Xiaowu a message from Yan Zhongru:

"Speed up the charge, open the way with dense firepower, and as long as you rush to within 100 meters in front of the enemy's loose position, you can win the battle in one go!"

Zhou Xiaowu beat a drum in his heart, but he still called the three battalion commanders over as soon as possible, and issued an order for all the battalions to attack, asking each battalion to move the heavy machine guns forward by 500 meters, set up the high ground, cover the charge, and concentrate all the light machine guns and limited flower machine guns for use, so as to form an absolute firepower advantage when charging.

After the arrangement, Zhou Xiaowu tore off the wind and discipline button, and loudly told everyone that he would lead a battalion to rush up from the most dangerous middle, and viciously warned the battalion commander who was responsible for the attack on the left and right:

"As long as Lao Tzu doesn't retreat, no one is allowed to take half a step back, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for military law!"

……

……

A fierce offensive and defensive battle finally began in an area with a radius of two kilometers.

The Hunan army, which was advancing in three directions, slowly drove more than 400 meters in front of the position of our instructor, made a little tidying, immediately accelerated the speed of the attack, and the six heavy machine guns set up behind the side of the charging team fired a dense rain of bullets one after another.

"Dada-da-"

"Puff puff puff

At this time, sparks continued to splash on the position where the instructor was guarding.

In the face of the enemy's fierce attack, the instructor and soldiers also opened fire with all their firepower, and fought back, and the sound of fierce firefights instantly resounded in all directions, and the shouts of charging and the screams of being shot were endless.

In the middle of the hill, more than 50 meters in front of the left of the instructor's position, Zheng Yi and his apprentice Pan Yan had already shot four boxes of a total of 200 rounds of ammunition.

No less than 60 of the enemy were killed and wounded by the master and apprentice, and in addition to the dense rain of bullets fired by the three Czech light machine guns below the hill, the corpses of the enemy in the middle of the charge were strewn all over the ground, and in less than ten minutes, they ran away with their heads in their hands, and they no longer dared to launch a third charge regardless of it.
