PS: Thank you to the "grandmaster" boss "Mu Zhiqi is famous" for another thousand rewards.

The two armies were drawn one after another, and the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Division of the 2nd Army was temporarily seconded as a guide to participate in the battle, and took the lead in the front.

The first army is mostly recruited, so it walks in the middle. The Forty-seventh Army was at the rear of the hall.

The recruits were in high spirits and high spirits at first. But the high morale and interest soon hibernate in the cold weather of the south.

The weather was getting gloomy and gloomy, and the cold wind blowing from the sea made the soldiers in thick cotton clothes still feel the chill as if it had penetrated into the bone marrow, and they shrunk their necks one by one, holding their guns and hurried silently.

The soldiers of the north had just arrived, and they were just beginning to appreciate the cold and humidity of the southern winter.

Bai Mu rode on a horse, holding the telescope in his hand from time to time to observe the surrounding terrain and landforms.

From time to time, the voices of officers urging the soldiers to speed up their pace could be heard.

"Report to the army commander, Zhou Ze, the commander of the second regiment of the Second Army, sent someone to report." Suddenly, a guard came with a man to report.

"Report to the White Army Commander, Liang Song, the captain of the reconnaissance squadron of the Second Regiment of the First Division of the Second Army, has something to ask you for instructions on the orders of our regiment commander." Someone saluted, and then said loudly.

"Liang Song? You are the Liang Song who made up a reconnaissance last time, single-handedly captured the main general of the defenders of Fu'an Xiaocheng alive, and finally captured more than 2,000 enemies without bloodshed, and finally captured Zheng Zhilong's son Zheng Sen with a trick? When Bai Mu heard this, he asked with interest.

"Hey, I didn't expect Commander Bai to know that I am a nobody, ashamed." Liang Song was also a little surprised, he didn't want to hit the henchman general in front of his Highness in front of him, and he also knew his name, and he was quite complacent for a while.

"Don't be modest, you kid, the battle report handed over by your Commander Yue is clearly written. Yes, it's a talent, if you're interested in coming to our First Army, I'll give you a battalion commander to do it, and the regiment commander can also consider it. Bai Mu stared at Liang Songdao.

"Huh? Head? Commander Bai, I was just ordered to come here to ask for advice, but I wasn't ready to be dug up by you. Let me think about it. Liang Song scratched the back of his head, "shy" said.

But although he said so, he was secretly happy in his heart.

"Cheng, you think about it. Tell me, what did your commander send you to ask for? Bai Mu planned to go back to Yue Pengju and ask for someone to go, and when the time came, even if this kid didn't agree, he wouldn't be able to do it.

"Our regiment commander said that it will be dark, and there is a big river ten miles ahead, I would like to ask the army commander whether you want to continue the march or camp by the river?" Liang Song said in a deep voice.

"Map." Bai Mu thought for a while and shouted.

The guard quickly handed over the map, and Bai Mu lit it with a fire fold and covered it with a raincoat for a moment before saying, "Tell Commander Zhou to camp by the river." Duan Peng, come! ”

Bai Mu shouted to the back, and a major officer ran over after a while.

"Commander, Duan Peng, the captain of the reconnaissance team, was ordered to come."

"Duan Peng, take your reconnaissance team to join Commander Zhou's people, and go out to reconnoiter ten miles before crossing the river, and be sure to ensure the safety of the troops camping at night." Bai Mu ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes, Duan Peng understands!" The major saluted, turned and went back to arrange for the troops.

Soon, more than 600 people of the reconnaissance brigade sped up and crossed the main force and followed Liang Song.

In a short time, the reconnaissance brigade of the First Army converged with the Second Regiment of the First Division of the Second Army.

The two chief officers were both with the rank of major, and after the two met and saluted, Duan Peng looked at Zhou Ze and said, "I heard about Commander Zhou's achievements as early as when I was in the capital, and I admired it very much. Commander Zhou's troops are worthy of being the fast reaction force of the Second Army, and his subordinates are capable of producing many people. This Liang Song brother, even our army commander is very optimistic about him, and he is ready to dig into the corner. ”

Zhou Ze looked at Liang Song with some surprise, then looked at Duan Peng, and said with a wry smile: "Captain Bai, this corner is dug too fast, your first army is already elite, and you still have to dig the corner of our second army?" Don't talk about others, even your brother Duan is even more famous, he has made many military exploits when he suppressed bandits in Beizhili, and I admire my brother. It seems that I have to go back and ask our commander to quickly dig you up to our second army. ”

Duan Peng, who said this, also laughed, and the officers around him also laughed.

As soon as he said a few words, the distance between the two commanders and the two troops suddenly became a lot closer.

The two began to discuss the matter of going out to scout and camp. After some discussion, it was decided that the second regiment would send Liang Song's reconnaissance squadron, and Duan Peng would also send a reconnaissance squadron to cross the river together to investigate.

Others are responsible for selecting the camping sites for large forces.

The reconnaissance squadron sent by the reconnaissance brigade of the First Army was the same unit that set up ambushes in Chenjiazhuang to annihilate the one-eyed dragon and King Guo Yan twice when they were suppressing bandits in Beizhili last time.

This is the most combat-ready squadron in the reconnaissance group.

The squadron leader was Lieutenant Zhong Haiyang.

With the 2nd Regiment, which was familiar with the terrain, the two reconnaissance squadrons quickly selected a place with shallow currents to cross the river.

After crossing the river, the two squadron leaders got together and began to discuss a concrete plan of action.

"You see, old bell, this road is lined with hills on both sides, and the vegetation is flourishing among them. Especially in this section, the terrain suddenly protrudes, just enough to overlook the road from a high vantage point. If the enemy were to monitor or set up an ambush here, it would be extremely disadvantageous to our side. According to the instructions of the white army commander, it was necessary to go forward to reconnoiter ten miles, and this position was almost at the very top. ”

Liang Song took out the map, covered it with a raincoat, illuminated the map with a fire fold, pointed to one of the locations and said to Zhong Haiyang in a deep voice.

Zhong Haiyang observed the map for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, then our two squadrons will reconnoiter separately." Your men scout the hills on the east, and my men on the west. Once you encounter a situation, you will trust it with flares. One yellow flare indicates a small group of enemies, one red flag represents a large group of enemies, and two red flares indicate a request for assistance. ”

Liang Song nodded in agreement, and after the two talked about some details, they quickly conveyed the order to the troops.

Soon, the two units entered the hilly areas on the east and west sides and began to search and reconnoitre.

By this time, the sky had already darkened, and the dense forest was already extremely dark.

It is difficult to walk in the dense forest during the day, let alone at night.

But fortunately, it is winter, and many annoying insects, mosquitoes and ants are gone, so there is no need to worry too much about non-combat attrition.

But if you want to walk in the woods, you still have to carry torches, and the troops try not to spread too far apart, and slowly move forward.

In the dense forest, the light of the torches does not travel far. The light of the torches can only be detected when you get closer.

Liang Song and Zhong Haiyang didn't expect that the first battle of this battle would be started by the two of them, and it happened very unexpectedly.
