Chapter 19: The Encounter

Lugou Bridge is more than 100 kilometers away from Tianjin, it takes two days to walk, there is no car, there is no national highway, everyone can only go over the mountains and mountains.

Zheng Long arrived fortunately, 100 kilometers on foot, he didn't know how many times he had experienced it in the special training camp, although the other soldiers were tired, but they could bear it, the most uncomfortable was Fair and others, because they had just joined the army, they had not experienced this kind of trek at all, which was a great test of their perseverance.

The regular establishment of the 219th Regiment is 1,500 people, and after the Battle of Lugou Bridge, there are only about 900 people left, but these 900 people are soldiers who have really experienced the baptism of artillery, so on the march, they have maintained their due formation and quality, and almost no one spoke throughout the whole process, and they are all in a serious hurry.

The environment can really change or affect a person, fairness and others in such an environment, their hearts are unconsciously serious, tired, they are also insisting on walking, trying to keep up with the speed of the team.

In times of special war, the migration must ensure the safety of the march, that is, to prevent being attacked by the enemy, how to prevent it? This has to mention a branch of the military, called the signal corps.

The main role of the signal corps is to transmit information, when the two armies are fighting, they are responsible for conveying the commander's orders, and when they are moving, they are responsible for checking the road safety in front to prevent enemy ambushes.

At about 7:30 p.m., when the 219th Regiment had just been stationed on the spot for dinner and a short rest, two signal soldiers ran back in a panic.

At this moment, the regiment commander Wei Shanhe, the regiment political commissar Zhao Yibo and Zheng Long gathered together and whispered about the deployment of Tianjin, and the signal soldiers ran over in a panic and did not say hello, but saluted directly: "Regiment commander, two kilometers ahead, I found about a battalion of Japanese soldiers." ”

"What firepower configuration does the other party have, do you see it clearly?" Wei Shanhe paused for a moment and said quickly.

"It seems to be a material truck, too far away, and the specific situation is not clear." Communication City replied clearly and quickly, "The enemy soldiers did not notice our existence. ”

Wei Shanhe listened to the words of the communication soldier and glanced at Zhao Yibo, and immediately made a decision: "Mom, pull a b, do their dog's day!" ”

"All the staff gather, come to me in one minute, assemble, each battalion commander, company commander, and platoon commander quickly lead people to assemble, all of them are numb."

Wei Shanhe's character is also adventurous, he does what he says, he doesn't procrastinate at all, he holds the big horn for marching command in his hand, and shouts when he is full of energy.

"Whoa!"

A noisy voice sounded, saying that a minute was a minute, or even less than a minute, and the whole army had already assembled.

"Quickly inform you of one thing, about a battalion of Japanese troops was found 2 kilometers ahead, and I declare that all of them are ready to fight and gather forces to destroy this group of Japanese troops." After Wei Shanhe finished speaking, he quickly shouted, "The first battalion commander, the second battalion commander is here?" ”

"In!" As soon as Wei Shanhe's voice fell, two middle-aged men immediately responded.

"A battalion prepares, attacks head-on, attracts enemy firepower, does not seek to kill the enemy, and preserves its strength as much as possible." Wei Shanhe quickly commanded.

"Yes!" The commander of the first battalion stood up and saluted.

"The second battalion prepares, flank attack, hit the enemy in the waist, and try to split the enemy in two." Wei Shanhe then commanded.

"Yes!" The second battalion commander saluted in the same posture.

"Wait for the order, wait for the trumpet to blow, the whole regiment will attack, fight for a turn, and destroy the enemy's forces, do you have confidence?" Wei Shanhe asked solemnly.

"Yes!" The whole group was full of confidence.

"Two minutes to prepare, then let's go, ready to fight!"

"Whoa!"

As soon as Wei Shanhe's voice fell, the first battalion commander and the second battalion commander took away their own parts and made pre-war deployments.

"Platoon Commander Zheng listens to orders!" After Wei Shanhe finished arranging, he looked at Zheng Longdao.

"In!" Zheng Long stepped forward and saluted.

"Take your special operations platoon to act when you see the opportunity, the main thing is to knock out the enemy's heavy firepower, let me also see the power of your special operations platoon, can you do it?" Wei Shanhe asked.

"We will not fail in our mission!" After Zheng Long issued the military order, he turned around and took his No. 54 person away, and after a brief reprimand, he left directly and acted alone from the army.

At this moment, two kilometers ahead, the Japanese army was stationed in the rest place, six heavy vehicles, stagnating in the center of the Japanese army, the Japanese army was guarding the six cars in batches, the judgment of the signal corps was not wrong, this was the Japanese army's material vehicle, the number of the Japanese army was also about one battalion, and the person who led the team was called Inoue Gangji.

Inoue Gangji is eight years Chinese New Year's Eve old this year, 1.8 meters tall, 1.6 meters tall, and long, but he has a heart that is extremely inconsistent with his appearance, which is manifested in the fact that he is a fanatical warmonger, this person has a certain military talent, and during the period from 33 to 37, he led his troops to win several victories, and he has no defeat in the same level of units, so he has developed this person's proud character.

The Lugou Bridge incident had just ended, Inoue Gangji was ordered by his superiors to escort a batch of materials to the Japanese army stationed outside Tianjin, to prepare for the next attack on Tianjin, such an important matter was handed over to Inoue to do, it can be seen that the superiors reused Inoue, but Inoue has not paid attention to this matter, he feels that in this country, there is no Chinese army that can fight with him, so he did not even send a signal corps.

The terrain in which Inoue's troops are stationed is very particular, and it does highlight Inoue's military talents, and the place he is looking for is only one side of the hillside, and the other three places are very empty, and the back side of the hillside where his troops are stationed can be a good defense against the sudden appearance of the enemy behind him.

Zheng Long walked for a while, took out his binoculars and roughly observed the geographical environment next to the Japanese army's station, and then immediately made a decision to go to the top of the mountain.

At the same time, the commander of the first battalion had already led people to lurk at a distance of about 500 meters from the Japanese army, and the commander of the second battalion was making a detour, preparing to cut down on the side.

At this moment, the Japanese troops were gathering together to laugh and chat, and only a few scattered Japanese soldiers were standing guard and observing.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and a Japanese soldier who was standing guard was shot in the chest and fell to the ground choking.

After the Japanese army froze for a moment, he immediately made a defensive posture, Inoue first froze, and then a trace of excitement appeared in his eyes.

A gunshot rang out, announcing the beginning of this mountain encounter, which also established Zheng Long's position in the 219th regiment.
