Report, our sentinels have spotted enemy troop tracks, and about a regiment of the enemy is heading towards Hudi! ”

"What? Come so fast? ”

Originally, Lehi had planned to send a small force to investigate the situation and then consider how to fight, because the enemy was not just a few hundred, but several thousand.

Although there are more than 1,000 people on his side, it is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat in this fight.

"Now the Japanese army is about fifteen kilometers away from us, and it has already passed the Duanshi!"

"Dongshan Ridge?" Lehi quickly came to the map and said loudly, "Call a few battalion commanders." ”

"Lao Li, what's wrong?"

Chen Shiping hurriedly ran over.

"The 8th Brigade of the Jin Sui Army is here, it must be aimed at us, and the strength is about one regiment! Battalion Commander Zhang, Battalion Commander Li. ”

"Here!"

"Your two battalions immediately rushed to Shimen to fortify and build defensive positions on the high ground on both sides of the road."

"Yes!"

"Battalion Commander Mao!"

"Here!"

"You set off from the side of Daling with the second battalion, take the mountain road, detour back to the Dongshan Ridge, and attack the 8th Brigade of the Jinsui Army from behind."

"Yes!"

"The 1st Battalion and the 2nd Battalion are the reserves, and the artillery company is to provide fire support for our defensive troops!"

"Yes!"

"Ready, get ready!"

"Yes!"

。。。。。。

"Commander Sun, what is the strength of the Eighth Regiment of the Decisive Death, I hope you can give me an accurate answer!

I don't want to be in the next battle where I don't even know what the enemy is doing! ”

To the north of Duanshi, this is a three-way intersection, to the north is the direction of Guxian and Anze, and to the east is the direction of Hudi and Gaoping.

From here to the east, three kilometers away is Shimen Village, the terrain here is a little narrow, from a distance it looks like a half-open door, it is called Shimen.

After passing the stone gate, you can see the bottom of the Hu.

Shi Zuoheng is also a young general who can fight in the Jin Sui Army.

In the tenth year of the Republic of China, he entered the Shanxi Army Cadet Corps at that time, and later entered the Northern Military Academy to study.

He has participated in the Northern Expedition, the Central Plains War, and the Great Wall War.

In the 23rd year of the Republic of China, he entered the military academy in Nanjing for further study, and after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he participated in all the battles of the Jin Sui Army against Japan.

Now serving as the acting brigade commander of the 8th Brigade of the Jinsui Army, he also left his name on the Japanese side.

In fact, Shi Zuoheng knew that it was a little inappropriate for this attack on the decisive column, after all, during the Anti-Japanese War, they attacked the decisive column, and there was always a meaning of 'relatives hate enemies quickly'.

But this was an order from the commander's subordinates, and as a soldier, he had to obey it.

Among the officers and men of the Jin Sui army, the prestige of Chief Yan was very high.

Because of his rich combat experience, Shi Zuoheng also wanted to understand the enemy's situation clearly and not fight uncertain battles.

"The strength of the Eighth Regiment should be about 1,000 people today, with five battalions, as well as cavalry companies and artillery companies.

Among them, the artillery company has 2 Jinzao 75mm mountain guns and 4 82mm mortars. Sun Ruikun hurriedly explained.

"Five battalions? Only a thousand? And there are also cavalry companies and artillery companies? Shi Zuoheng was a little surprised.

"Brigade Commander Shi, when the new army was established, it was all based on the establishment of the Jin Sui Army, so there was an artillery company, and each regiment had one or two mountain guns.

As for the cavalry company and the two extra battalions, they were expanded by Lehi without permission. Sun Ruikun replied.

"Who is this Lehi? Did you know? Shi Zuoheng said curiously.

Although Shi Zuoheng and Li Hai both participated in the Battle of Xinkou, their positions were very low at that time, and neither had heard of each other.

"I don't know much, I only know that he is a Red Army who participated in the Long March, and he was transferred from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to serve as the director of the Political Department.

As soon as this person arrived, he snatched control of the second battalion, and after withdrawing from Changzhi to Qinshui, this person expanded the second battalion to two battalions and a cavalry company. Sun Ruikun told everything he knew.

"The Red Army that participated in the Long March?" Shi Zuoheng frowned, but he knew what it meant.

In the Eighth Route Army, the significance of whether or not to participate in the Long March is different.

The Red Army, which came from the Long March, had rich combat experience, fought hundreds of battles, large and small, and was chased by the Nationalist army for more than 20,000 miles.

It can be said that the elites who survived.

The reason why Shi Zuoheng has such a high evaluation is because the Jin Suijun has suffered a big loss from the Red Army.

It was in the 25th year of the Republic of China, that is, in 1936, the Red Army crossed the Yellow River eastward and defeated the encirclement and interception of more than 30 regiments of the Jin Sui Army, the Jin Sui Army lost nearly 20,000 people, and the Red Army not only expanded nearly 10,000 troops, but finally left.

It was this Eastern Crusade that suffered a loss, and Governor Yan expanded the Jin Sui army.

"Brigade Commander Shi doesn't have to worry too much, this person is very old, just a hairy boy!"

"Hairy boy? But it was this hairy boy in the mouth of Head Sun that made you lose control of the Eighth Regiment and fled in embarrassment. Shi Zuoheng scoffed.

Sun Ruikun was also embarrassed, and he didn't dare to refute it, so he could only digest it by himself there.

Although Li Hai attracted Shi Zuoheng's attention, he did not regard the Eighth Regiment of Decisive Death as a strong enemy, because the Eighth Regiment of Decisive Death was not a regular army, and he led the regular army of the Jin Sui Army, how could the combat effectiveness be comparable to that of the Eighth Regiment of Decisive Death?

Soon, when Shi Zuoheng arrived at Shimen with his troops, he encountered the resistance of the Eighth Regiment of Decisive Death.

"It seems that this Lehi has some ability, pass the order down, cover with artillery, and capture the high ground on both sides!"

Shi Zuoheng was a little surprised to see that his whereabouts were discovered, but he did not panic, but ordered the troops to attack in an orderly manner.

"Brothers, kill me and destroy these rebels!"

"Brothers, rush!"

Under the orders of the officers, the soldiers of the 8th Brigade launched an attack on the position of the 8th Regiment with guns in hand.

In fact, both sides regard the other as rebels because they are in different positions.

。。。。。。

"This 8th Brigade is indeed a bit good, and the methods of this attack are different from other units."

At the rear headquarters, seeing the attack of the 8th Brigade of the Du, Lehi was still a little surprised.

He also thought of an offensive tactic, that is, the three-three system, which could make up for the disadvantage of insufficient firepower and strengthen the ability to assault.

Thinking that his troops were all peasants with hoes before, it was a difficult task to turn this army into a strong army.

But he believed that by giving him a few years, he would be able to turn his troops into a strong army that would be feared by the enemy.

"The brigade commander of the 8th Independent Brigade is called Shi Zuoheng, and he is an experienced general." Ding Peng next to him explained.

"Company Commander Ding, why do you know so well?" Lehi put down his binoculars and was a little curious.

"Back to the regiment commander, he once served as a soldier under Brigade Commander Shi, and later he was transferred to the 8th Brigade of the Du." Ding Peng replied.

"I see, then I'll really know this Brigadier Shi!" Hearing that Ding Peng had a very high evaluation of Shi Zuoheng, Li Hai became interested.
