Li Wenzhong, Pang Lixue, and Wang Peng's hands were tightly clasped together, and the soldiers of the 303rd Regiment, the 402nd Regiment, the 2nd Battalion of the 408th Regiment, and the 535th Regiment cheered. ”

At four o'clock in the morning on February 27th, the lights in the headquarters of Fengtouli were bright, Wu Xiangsen's face was blue, Wang Shiguang and Xu Weiguo looked solemn, Wang Peng was ashamed, Pang Lixue was in pain and lonely, Liu Yan rubbed his hands anxiously, the entire Toxinli theater was rarely silent, death-like silence, after countless battles overnight, although it greatly impacted the position of the American army, but because of the light enemy of the 402nd Regiment, it mistakenly took Meihuali as Toxinli, which caused great passivity to the whole campaign, and it became a rescue and breakthrough war. Liu Yizhang's team of hundreds of people is still deep in the enemy's position, life and death are unknown, in another three hours, the sky will be dawn, if Yizhang and they are still alive, they should break through now, and the trouble will be big when the day dawns......

Just when everyone was at a loss, a dense sound of gunfire and explosions suddenly came from the direction of Toxinli, breaking the silence.

Wu Xiangsen jumped up from the stool and shouted excitedly, "Alive, Yizhang is still alive!" The people in the cave suddenly regained their vitality, Wang Peng and Pang Lixue immediately asked for battle, and returned to the Shuangjingli position with injuries to continue fighting, Xu Weiguo said solemnly to Wu Xiangsen, "Army commander, I don't want to do it anymore, and I don't have the face to do it, I will go to the front-line position now to personally lead the independent regiment to attack, I can't save Yizhang alive, and I will never come back to see you!" After speaking, he saluted Wu Xiangsen, Wu Xiangsen held Xu Weiguo's hand, and said calmly, "Old Xu, I approve your request, but you and Yizhang must come back alive!" Liu Yan also asked to follow Xu Weiguo to the front line, and Wu Xiangsen also agreed.

The sound of gunfire coming from the direction of Toxinli was fired by Liu Yizhang and them. It turned out that as early as two o'clock in the morning, Yizhang arranged for the soldiers to eat and drink enough, he said to the soldiers, although you can sleep boldly and boldly, before dawn, no matter which direction the enemy will not dare to leave the defensive ground to attack us, everyone should be full of spirit, before dawn I will lead everyone to attack Toxinli directly, if nothing else, the independent regiment will also cooperate with us to attack Toxinli, we can not only break through, but also achieve the feat of breaking through Toxinli in one fell swoop, and deal a devastating blow to the enemy!

After arranging the soldiers, Liu Yizhang immediately decided to set up a temporary command center for the Battle of Toxinli, with himself as the commander-in-chief, with Qiu Wei and Deng Jiaju as members, Qiu Wei smiled and said, "Commander-in-Chief Liu, we are three stinkers, Zhuge Liang!" Deng Jiaju also smiled and said, "Camp Chief Qiu is right, we are not only Zhuge Liang, but also like Liu Guanzhang, three heroes to fight Lu Bu!" Yizhang looked at the eldest brother, and then looked at Qiu Wei, the feeling of like-mindedness arose, he said affectionately, "Big brother, Qiu battalion commander, although we can't compare to Zhuge Liang in wisdom, and we can't compete with Liu Guanzhang, but as long as I work together and lead the soldiers to fight bloody battles together, no matter how big the difficulty is, the enemy's strength is limited, their advantage is armored forces and strong fortifications, as long as we suppress the enemy's advantage, we will have a chance to break through Xinli!" ”

Qiu Wei and Deng Jiaju nodded frequently while listening to Yizhang's analysis, and Qiu Wei asked puzzledly, "Commander-in-chief, why are you calling Instructor Deng's eldest brother?" ”

Yizhang and Deng Jiaju both laughed, and Deng Jiaju told him the truth, "Camp Chief Qiu, Yizhang and I are sworn brothers!" ”

When Qiu Wei heard this, he pretended to be angry and said, "Commander-in-chief, I'm not qualified to be your brother, am I?" Also Liu Guanzhang! ”

Of course, Yizhang saw through Qiu Wei's careful thinking, he liked Qiu Wei from the bottom of his heart, so he also pretended to be serious and asked, "Qualifications, it depends on Liu Guanzhang, which one do you choose?" ”

Qiu Wei was overjoyed, "What about me, I chose Zhang Fei, so you agreed?" ”

"What agreed, I Liu Yizhang couldn't ask for it! Let's not do ceremonies anymore, when the war is over in the future, I will take my two brothers to the family temple in my Liu family compound to make up for it, which will be more grand! ”

The hands of the three of them were stacked together and bowed up and down three times, Ao Dong didn't fall asleep at all, he was excited, the feeling of riding a horse to fight was so fresh and exciting, he squinted his eyes and looked at Yizhang from time to time, what Yizhang said they said, he couldn't hear it, but the three of them put their hands together was too familiar, he, Ao Senjie and Yizhang were like this when they got married, he pushed the sleeping Ao Senjie next to him, Ao Senjie got up and was about to get on the horse, he thought it was going to fight, when he saw Ao Dong laughing at himself, he kicked Ao Dong, He reprimanded angrily, "If you don't get some sleep, how can you beat the Yankees?" ”

"Brother, let me tell you, I can't sleep anymore."

"Why?" Ao Senjie looked puzzled.

"I just saw Yizhang and the three of them answered."

"That's good, Yizhang is our answer, they are answered, our answer is more, isn't it a good thing?"

"Brother, it's a good thing, but we also have to participate." As he spoke, he pulled Ao Senjie and ran towards Yizhang and them.

"Why don't you two sleep?" Deng Jiaju saw Ao Dong and they were coming.

"Instructor, I know what you're doing, because I've done it too." He pulled Ao Senjie and pointed to Yizhang and said, everyone smiled heartily.

"The two brothers came just in time, now come with me to do something big." Yizhang said happily.

"What are you going to do?" Deng Jiaju asked.

"I'll take Ao Dong and Ao Senjie to investigate in Toxinli, and you two will squint for a while."

"No, it's too dangerous." Deng Jiaju and Qiu Wei stopped it at the same time.

"If you don't investigate, that's dangerous." Yizhang couldn't help but say that he took Ao Dong and Ao Senjie and ran in the direction of Tuo Xinli.

More than an hour later, Yizhang and they came back, Deng Jiaju and Qiu Wei were in a hurry, and they were less than an hour away, less than a kilometer away, Qiu Wei jokingly said, "Yizhang, you are there to investigate, you are taking these two brothers to the restaurant." Everyone laughed when they heard this, Deng Jiaju saw that Yizhang looked like he was in his chest, and he knew that Yizhang had found a way to attack Xinli.

"Yizhang, tell me your tricks, let us know in our hearts." He looked at Yizhang, full of anticipation, and everyone also held their breath and listened attentively.

Liu Yizhang looked affectionately at the war horse and the sleeping cavalry in the distance, the war horse is like the Han people's worship of the cavalry, the Mongolian knot answer, like brothers, there is brotherhood, accompany you to fight, accompany you in life and death!

Yi Zhang calmed down and began to analyze and deploy the battle, he said slowly, "The defense in the plum blossoms, Instructor Deng and I didn't care about it because we were fighting on horseback, and Company Commander Qiu took a closer look, right?" Please tell us more about the defense in Meihuali Village. ”

Qiu Wei said, "I did carefully inspect the defense system in Meihuali, not to mention outside the village, mainly in the village, all the houses in Meihuali Village have been transformed into military fortifications by the US military, all the walls have been thickened, some places have been chiseled out of various gun holes and eye holes, there are many tunnels dug underground, some are wide and some are narrow, mainly for passing people, and there are also for hiding weapons and ammunition, and there is a bunker every 20 meters on the main road in the village...... In short, the U.S. military has put a lot of effort into defense, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as impregnable. ”

Yizhang continued, "This is one of the reasons why the enemy let us go here, and they don't come to attack when they have meetings, eat, or sleep, because they believe in their fortifications, and I asked Battalion Commander Qiu to talk about this, just to understand the enemy's internal defenses, and now I will analyze the fortifications outside the village in Toxinli, the three of us have surrounded Toxinli for most of the circle, the enemy's fortifications are mainly hidden forts, there is one every twenty meters, and the mutual fire is seamlessly crossed, the village is a main road in the east and west, north and south, and there is a tank at the east entrance of the village, My combat deployment is like this, the guard company and the cavalry company are responsible for attacking the east entrance of the village, because the east entrance of the village is the main defensive position in Toxinli, there are tanks, hidden forts, pillboxes, and a large number of infantry, commanded by Instructor Deng, of course, you are a feint, not a real fight, but you have to put on a real posture to confuse the enemy, I and Battalion Commander Qiu led the three battalions of the 408th Regiment to attack the south of the village, why not attack the north of the village, because I estimate that once we attack the village, Commander Wu will give a death order to attack the various defense lines of the American army, After the independent regiment breaks through the two lines of defense in the north, it will attack Toxinli from the north, so that the American infantry withdrawn from the second line of defense will withdraw to Tosinli, if we are in the north of the village, we will be in danger of being flanked, and we attack the south of the village, we can not only drag the enemy, but also have no danger of being flanked, the combat deployment is like this, now I will talk about tactics, that is to say, how to fight, Instructor Deng is a feint, how comfortable you come, such as shouting, riding horses far away so that they can see but can't reach, In principle, it is to minimize casualties, I and Battalion Commander Qiu's style of play, the goal is very clear, to destroy the enemy's bunker, I carefully observed the enemy's bunker, it is indeed powerful, like a turtle squatting in a pit, after a night of fighting, we have little left in the explosives pack, grenade and blasting canister, our soldiers are our lifeblood, do not make senseless sacrifices, I think about it can only sacrifice it. Yizhang pointed to his warhorse.

"War horses?" Everyone looked at Liu Yizhang in confusion.

"Have you heard of Tiandan's Fire Bull Formation during the Warring States Period?" Seeing that everyone shook their heads, Yizhang continued, "Time relationship, I will tell you the story of the Fire Bull Formation later, I will talk about the specific method of blowing up the enemy's bunker tonight, help the four legs of the war horse to help hand grenades, tie strips of cloth to the horse's tail, and the four soldiers pull the grenade at the same time, and the other soldier ignites the strip of cloth on the horse's tail and pats the horse's back hard, and the war horse will run forward, and when we run near the dark fort, we shoot and kill the war horse, and use the war horse to blow up the dark fort." ”

Yizhang finished talking about tactics, I thought everyone would be more excited, to Yizhang's surprise, except for Ao Dong shook his head, no one else strongly objected, especially Deng Jiaju, he is a veteran, when resisting Japan, he was trapped in the mountains by the Japanese for several months one year, the food was eaten up, many soldiers died of hunger and disease, and finally there was no way to kill war horses to eat, so he especially understood Yizhang's approach, he patted Yizhang's shoulder and comforted, "Actually, I know that the most unbearable thing is not us, it is you Liu Yizhang, from your reconnaissance when you came back, You look at the eyes of the horses and cavalry, and then from the voice of you when you explain the specific tactics, although you try to be restrained, you can also hear your distress and helplessness, you put the lives of the soldiers in the first place, this is the great righteousness, what you did is completely correct, we all support you. ”
