Zhou Shanjun broke into the 176th Division alone, relying on his three-inch incorruptible tongue, he said that Yu Yi was stunned, and let go of the road to let the troops of Yangshupu pass, which surprised everyone.

I thought that this matter would be passed like this, but I didn't expect that just as Liu Wenzhi was about to lead the troops through Foziling, he found that the 176th Division did not take the initiative to get out of the way as agreed, and also spoke fiercely to prevent the troops from approaching.

Zhou Shanjun was very depressed, how could a good thing suddenly change hexagrams. He waved a small white flag and walked towards the position of the defenders of the 176th Division, not to surrender, but to find out why the 176th Division had rebelled.

But before he reached the position of the 176th Division's defending corps, he suddenly heard gunfire on the other side of Foziling.

Not only Zhou Shanjun, but also Liu Wenzhi, who led the troops to wait not far from the rear, also heard the sudden sound of gunfire.

Compared with Zhou Shanjun's surprise, Liu Wenzhi and the others were even more worried, because they didn't know what was going on before, but Zhou Shanjun had to go to inquire and check at the moment.

Zhou Shanjun hated the little white flag in his hand, he only followed Sun Yumin, he had never been so "nested", if it weren't for the deputy commander and the brothers of the two companies, he was now in this dangerous zone between the devil and the 176th Division, he really would rather have a bad relationship with these guys in the 176th Division than negotiate with them under this little white flag.

"Smack!"

On the position of the 176th Division guarding the corps, I don't know which thing that is not long-sighted, it actually fired a shot at Zhou Shanjun, but fortunately, it was not this shot aimed at others, the bullet hit the ground five or six meters in front of him, stirring up a small pinch of yellow dust.

Zhou Shanjun stopped, he knew that this was someone warning him not to go any further.

"The person who came, go back and tell your commander, our division commander said, you don't want to pass through Foziling anymore, you dare to take the initiative to attack friendly troops, and you are not afraid of making trouble." A high-pitched voice rang out over there.

From this person's words, Zhou Shanjun heard at least two pieces of information, that is, someone attacked Foziling, and it should be the troops of the Huoshan Independent Detachment, to put it bluntly, it should be that Sister Gu was worried that Liu Wenzhi and they would have no way back, so they would shoot demonstratively, but she didn't expect that Zhou Shanjun had actually negotiated with the 176th Division, and this bad relationship not only caused Zhou Shanjun's previous negotiations to be in vain, but also put Liu Wenzhi and the two companies he brought into a more dangerous situation.

"There must be a misunderstanding here, please help report it, saying that our Deputy Commander Liu is deeply sorry and sent me over to inform our troops over there." Zhou Shanjun also shouted at the top of his voice, he was not worried about being shot black, judging from the bullet five or six meters in front of him just now, these people really didn't dare to hurt themselves.

"Bullshit misunderstanding, you dare to attack our 176th Division because you want to defect, our division commander said, this time it's not so easy to forget it. You go back and report to your commander, don't go any further, don't blame our 176th Division for having no eyes in its guns. The shrill voice sounded on the other side again, with Zhou Shanjun's understanding of the national army, the person who shouted must be just a soldier, and there was just someone around him teaching him to speak, if the guess was correct, it should be the commander of the guard.

"We are friendly troops, there should be a misunderstanding, let alone not even give a chance to explain, please report, I was ordered to go over and make it clear to our people, and then ask our deputy commander to visit your division commander, the two families sit down and have a good talk, don't destroy the friendship between the two families because of a little misunderstanding." After Zhou Shanjun shouted this long paragraph, his throat felt that it was smoking.

Perhaps it was his words that played a role, and the other side was silent for a while before the shrill voice sounded again: "Our chief said, you can come first." ”

After hearing this, Zhou Shanjun breathed a sigh of relief, he threw down the small white flag in his hand, and waved his hand to the rear, which was to tell Liu Wenzhi that there was no problem, and then strode towards the position of the 176th Division defending the legion.

Under the guidance of a second lieutenant of the 176th Division, when he went to the front of Foziling, Zhou Shanjun found that the opposite side was really a unit under the flat stone, although he did not display the banner of the Huoshan Independent Detachment, but from the formation, from the decoration, he could be sure that he was his own person.

By the time he arrived, the exchange of fire had stopped, but this kind of firing was not a real battle, as if the two sides were showing off their force and demonstrating against each other.

Just as he was about to go to his own position, he suddenly heard a strange noise in the air.

As a veteran, as the leading soldier king of the Twelfth Army, how could Zhou Shanjun not hear it, this is the sound of cannonballs breaking through the air, and judging from the sound, it is coming towards this position.

Could it be that Sister Gu couldn't help it and started to do it? A bad thought flashed in Zhou Shanjun's heart, since the matter has developed to the point of shelling, how can this be reconciled, now the only way to help her is to do his best.

After having this idea, he immediately pulled the second lieutenant who "guarded" him and ran back, in fact, Zhou Shanjun wanted to hold him hostage, but in a place where there were soldiers of the 176th Division everywhere, as long as he made a move, then even if he was a monkey, I am afraid it would be difficult to escape. That's why he pulled this second lieutenant to run back, firstly, it was to save his life, and on the other hand, he could let himself get out of this place, after all, few people knew why they came, and the most important thing was that Zhou Shanjun also wanted to "borrow" the military uniform of this second lieutenant, because he planned to take the white and pure 176th Division Major General, Zhou Shanjun didn't know the position of the person he talked to before, and he didn't know that the white and pure major general in his mouth was Yu Yi, the commander of the 176th Division.

The sound of the cannonballs breaking through the air was not heard by a few soldiers, but ordinary people couldn't judge where it landed, but like some veterans in the 176th Division, they found out that these flying shells were coming towards their own positions, so when the strange screams just came, they were already lying in the trenches. Rather than fleeing backwards, you have a better chance of surviving in a trench.

As soon as the veterans did this, many recruits also followed into the trenches with their gourds, only a few stunned young people continued to lie on the position, and there were a few people who spread their feet and ran back. With the blessing of these very few people who ran backwards, Zhou Shanjun's behavior of pulling the second lieutenant to run backwards was not so conspicuous.

When the gunfire stopped in front of Foziling, Liu Wenzhi thought that Zhou Shanjun's visit had played a role, but he didn't expect that suddenly there was a sound of shelling, which shocked him again.

Wang Yanru is the same, she knows her husband's thoughts, she went to negotiate alone before, and resolutely went to communicate with her when the gun was fired, all of which were "paying off debts" for her, if she hadn't gone to Huoshan County by herself and caused this big trouble, he wouldn't have to take risks alone again and again. Wang Yanru was already in extreme guilt, and she was extremely worried when Zhou Shanjun went to communicate, and now she started shelling, what does this mean, how could she not understand according to her cleverness, this shows that her husband's communication has failed, and people may have encountered accidents.

The loud noise woke up the little girl who was sleeping in Liu Wenzhi's arms, although she opened her eyes and saw someone she was familiar with, but she still cried, she should have been frightened by the sound.

It is normal for children to cry, but in Wang Yanru's ears, it is so harsh, she doesn't want to hear her daughter's cry at this moment, she has never murdered her daughter, like a leopard, yelled at her daughter: "Don't cry!" ”

The child was already frightened, and when he needed care, Wang Yanru came like this, and the crying little girl cried more and more, and Wang Yanru also cried loudly as if she had collapsed after yelling.

Liu Wenzhi understood Wang Yanru's actions just now, because he also felt that Zhou Shanjun was more than lucky this time, so he hugged Xiao Nannan, and said to the two company commanders beside him at the same time: "Expand the troops and prepare for battle." ”

Although the words are only a short eight words, but they weigh more than a thousand catties, two even more than 300 people, will be because of these eight words blood spilled on the field, how many people can return to Yangshupu, no one has this bottom in their hearts, maybe it is possible, everyone here today can not go back.

As Wang Yanru cried, the sad atmosphere spread among the crowd, Liu Wenzhi knew that he had to stand up at this time, otherwise when the morale was low to a certain level, then this battle would be lost without a fight.

The reason why Gu Hongying had the confidence to dare to attack the 176th Division that forcibly occupied Foziling was because she received a reply from the Jiangbei Detachment of the New Fourth Army: Warm welcome, immediate support.

That's not all, after receiving the message from the commander of XHD, the radio station was turned off, and there was no explanation of the reason, probably because they thought something was going on here, and within two or three hours, they actually sent two regiments of troops to assemble on the side of the company.

Gu Hongying was born in the green forest, and she was already very bold, but now that she has the confidence, she can't do anything. did not consider any undesirable consequences, and drove to Foziling with the troops under his command, first firing guns to demonstrate, and telling the 176th Division to get out of Foziling immediately.

Yu Yi was angered by this inexplicable appearance, he had already agreed to let Liu Wenzhi and them pass, but now that he was so humiliated, he naturally couldn't swallow this breath, and immediately asked the defenders guarding in front of Foziling Town to return the gun and demonstrate, he really didn't believe that the people who were holding the stone dared to really attack, thinking that they were just going through the motions, but he didn't expect that Gu Hongying was much more fierce than Liu Wenzhi, and he couldn't say a word and shelled directly.

Foziling placed three regiments of the 76th Division, obviously not enough space, but Yu Yi was worried that his troops would not be able to get Yangshupu, so the three regiments were laid out in a straight line, one regiment in front of the town, one regiment in the town, and one regiment behind the town, and the distance between the three regiments was kept very close, which was also a manifestation of weakness, so when Gu Hongying shelled the troops in front of the town, Yu Yi, who was in the town, clearly heard and saw the smoke and fire on his own position.

"Damn, it seems that this surnamed Liu is really going to defect, and he actually dares to really attack my 176th Division." Yu Yi was a little embarrassed, he yelled at the chief of staff: "Call back to the military seat immediately, the defection of the Huoshan Independent Detachment is already a fact, and it is now attacking our department." ”

"Division, didn't the regiment that guarded the end of the town report that Liu Wenzhi was at the end of the town with his troops? And there is no movement to attack us, the shelling in front of the town should have nothing to do with him, if this telegram is sent now, there is really some misunderstanding, I'm afraid we can't afford this responsibility. ”

"Are you a pig-brain? Everyone is shelling us, what do you care about him? Could it be that waiting for others to kill all of our 176th Division can be regarded as a real defection? Yu Yi was furious, scolded the chief of staff a few words, and then said: "I will send it if you want it, I will bear any responsibility!" Also, order all units to strengthen their defenses and immediately return fire. ”

Gu Hongying was merciful, she only used a battalion of mortars and grenadiers, and the shells were only a few shots, and she didn't show her strength at all, but because of this, it gave Yu Yi an illusion, and the firepower of the Huoshan Independent Detachment was nothing more than that, and the firepower of each regiment of the 176th Division would not be inferior to them, so there was the counterattack he said.

Gu Hongying thought that the 176th Division would not let out Foziling, but she didn't expect that this group of guys who would be wrapped into soft-footed shrimp when they saw the devil would be slightly stimulated by herself, and they would dare to fight back in such a high-profile manner.

Although Liu Wenzhi has specially taught how to defend against artillery in his daily training, and it has indeed played a role now, but when the 82mm mortars that are standard with the national army fell on their temporary positions, they still caused some casualties, and when the shocking blood reflected in Gu Hongying's eyelids, the anger in her heart burned so much that she almost lost her mind, and immediately shouted to the staff officers around her: "What about our howitzers, bombard these bastards for me!" ”

Huoshan Independent Detachment can have four Japanese-style 125mm caliber howitzers, which were captured from the Japanese army that year, because it is in the mountainous area, blocked by the Dabie Mountain Range, it has not been able to come in handy, but Foziling and Yangshupu are different, Yangshupu can not let long-range howitzers attack, it does not mean that Foziling can not be attacked, although Gu Hongying does not understand the principle of howitzer curved fire, but she has heard from Liu Wenzhi's mouth that Foziling is within the range of howitzer strikes, and now she has suffered a small loss, how can she give up, Immediately ordered to shell Foziling with howitzers. Liu Wenzhi was blocked on the other side, which just gave Gu Hongying a chance to act recklessly, she is now the supreme commander, what she wants to do, who can stop it!

When the howitzer was calibrating Zhuyuan, all the mortars and grenadiers on Gu Hongying's side were fired, she didn't care that there were still ordinary people in Foziling, in her personality, it was not okay to let her suffer, even if it was to fight with the entire 48th Army, let alone the 176th Division, which only had three regiments.

The sound of cannons echoed in the mountains, just like bursts of spring thunder waking up everything in the world, and also awakened the passionate pride in Liu Wenzhi's heart, which had already slowly degenerated, he handed over the little girl who was still crying to the hands of the hunchback Uncle Wang, and then said to the two company commanders: "Let's start too!" ”
