"Click!"

A slight sound echoed outside the west gate of Yuguan,

Although this slight sound was not loud, it still alarmed the two soldiers of the 626th Regiment who were patrolling the city wall of the west gate of Yuguan City, and they hurriedly poked their heads out of the battlements and carefully inspected the place where the sound sounded outside the city.

It's January 1932, and it's freezing weather, and it's been snowing several times lately, and the sky and the earth are shrouded in white.

The two men closed their eyes and looked out of the city, only to find that there seemed to be a black dot moving on a hillside outside the city, so they immediately became vigilant.

Ding Xingyuan pulled the bolt of the gun, put the rifle on fire, and then turned his head to Yang Shanzi beside him and said, "You go and report to the company commander, just say that there is a situation outside the city." ”

Yang Shanzi nodded, carrying a rifle on his back and running towards the corner tower not far away.

Tonight, the 3rd Company of the 1st Battalion of the 626th Regiment was in charge of duty, and the company commander on duty was working in the corner tower.

Recently, because the relationship with the Japanese has been very tense, Shi Shi'an, the commander of the 626th Regiment stationed in Yuguan City, has asked every company commander on duty to be on the front line in order to deal with emergencies.

In the corner tower, a table occupies almost a third of the area, and a few chairs are placed in the remaining places, and a military defense map is placed on the table.

Jiao Xuefei, the commander of the third company of the first battalion, a tall northeasterner, was lying on the table at this time, carefully observing the map, and marking it on the map with red and blue pencils from time to time.

There was a brazier burning in the house, but perhaps the company commander Jiao Xuefei had forgotten to add charcoal a long time ago, so there was not even a little spark in the brazier, but he still didn't notice it, and was immersed in the analysis of the situation between the two sides.

"Since the invasion of the Eight-Nation Coalition in 1900, imperialist troops have been allowed to garrison in Shanhaiguan, Qinhuangdao and other places. This so-called Yuguan natural risk, under the constraints of unequal treaties, has long been opened. In particular, the camp of the devils was set up in the four forts, where less than two kilometers to the south was Yuguan City, and the railway station outside the south gate of Yuguan was also garrisoned by Japanese garrisons. ”

"The situation outside the east gate is even more severe, and not far from the city gate is the Japanese Kwantung Army garrison. In this way, the south gate and the east gate are under the supervision of the Japanese army, and our side can only enter and exit the north gate and the west gate. Jiao Xuefei's expression was grim and he looked particularly dignified, "The line from Weiyuan City to Wujialing, 1 km northeast of Guancheng, is in the hands of the Japanese Kwantung Army. This line is higher than the Great Wall near Shanhaiguan, and it is condescending enough to control the whole city. ”

"Once the Japanese attack, they can quickly occupy the commanding heights, and then the firepower suppression will be enough to cover the whole city, which is very unfavorable to our army."

Knocking on his head irritably, Jiao Xuefei stood up, reached out and grabbed the enamel jar placed on the table next to him and took a big sip.

The enamel jar is not filled with water, but with spirits, which is famous for burning knives in the Northeast.

Although the Northeast Army is not allowed to drink alcohol while on duty, Jiao Xuefei was specially approved by the regiment commander, the more he drinks, the more energetic he becomes, and the more flexible his brain becomes, which is also one of the three monsters of the Ninth Independent Infantry Brigade.

These three monsters are "Brigade Commander He sleeps with his eyes open", "Captain Shi's strange words", and "Jiao Xuefei drinks more and more spirits".

In the 626th Regiment and even the Ninth Brigade, Jiao Xuefei is a tiger general, and he was born into the color and has made a lot of military exploits, but he has a bad temper, and he has offended many people above him for this, so he has never been promoted, and he is still a company commander.

However, he didn't care about that, as long as he was allowed to lead the troops, he would be happy, even if it was just a city defender.

Just as he was immersed in his thoughts, a loud shout came from outside the door, "Report." ”

"Come in!" Jiao Xuefei didn't raise his head, the liquor he had just drunk made his whole body warm, how comfortable it was, and it also made his brain turn faster.

Yang Shanzi pushed the door and ran in, exhaling a long white breath from his mouth, "Company commander, there is a situation." ”

This sentence immediately alarmed Jiao Xuefei, he stood up with a huff, grabbed the shell gun placed next to him, stuffed it into the holster on his waist, and then shouted, "Let's go, go and see." ”

The two of them rushed out of the company one after the other, and Jiao Xuefei's herald hurriedly followed.

The three of them rushed to Ding Xingyuan's side, and then stopped, Jiao Xuefei asked in a deep voice, "Ding Xingyuan, what's the matter?" ”

"Chief, look, there, there seems to be movement in the col, and there are black shadows shaking."

Jiao Xuefei raised the telescope in his hand, adjusted the focus, and looked in the direction of Ding Xingyuan's finger, and sure enough, he found that there seemed to be a black shadow shaking there, and he couldn't help frowning, "In the middle of the night, who will go out in the ice and snow." ”

It's winter now, although the temperature in the Shanhaiguan area can't be compared with the northeast, but the temperature is also very low.

The three of them kept a close eye on the dark shadow, wanting to see what it was doing.

The shadow flickered and seemed to be getting closer, and the shadow grew larger and larger, and a slight cry could already be heard.

"What should I be, it's a blind bear!" Hearing the cry of this animal, Jiao Xuefei relieved himself, he heard that it was the cry of a black bear, and knew that it had no effect on Yuguan.

Ding Xingyuan shook his head and said, "Company commander, the situation is not right, the blind bear usually does not get close to the human habitation, how did it run here." ”

Although blind bears are very fierce in the mountains and forests, they are also easily afraid to come to the human gathering area, and if they are discovered, they can be easily killed.

Whether it's a bear paw or a bear bile, it's very valuable!

Jiao Xuefei also stopped when he heard this, he seemed to hear the meaning of Ding Xingyuan's words, so he asked, "Ding Xingyuan, what did you find?" ”

Ding Xingyuan was originally a hunter in Changbai Mountain, he had practiced good marksmanship, and he knew wild things very well, so Jiao Xuefei heard that something was wrong with him, so he wanted to hear what he had to say.

Ding Xingyuan shook his head, and then said, "Company commander, I haven't noticed anything for the time being, but I always feel that something is wrong." ”

Jiao Xuefei scolded angrily, ", don't base yourself on what you're talking about, stand guard well." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Ding Xingyuan was scolded, but he was not angry, he knew his company commander's temper, so he was still engrossed in watching the place where the blind bear came from.

It was a gentle hillside, with trees but not much, and even Tibetans were probably not big.

After staring for a while, Jiao Xuefei didn't find anything, so he shook his head and muttered to himself suspiciously, "Could it be that I guessed wrong." ”

Yang Shanzi smiled on the side, "Lao Ding, are you too sensitive, you are always surprised." ”

While they were talking, several pheasants suddenly flew up on the hillside, making the calm hillside noisy.

"There is a situation!" Ding Xingyuan raised his rifle and aimed there.

Yang Shanzi also raised his gun and waited nervously.

There was a low rumble that sounded a little distant at first, but as time went on, it grew louder and clearer.

A moment later, a behemoth peeked out of the hillside and pressed forward.

Ding Xingyuan and Yang Shanzi held their breath, they could already see what was coming.

The wide tracks, the body of Pang Steel, and the black hole in the muzzle on the front of the car, especially the plaster pattern on the turret, all clearly indicate the identity of the comer.

"It's the chariot of the devil."; The two couldn't help but glance at each other.
