As early as the beginning of August, Chen Bui informed Sun Yumin of the recent movements of the Japanese army through the radio of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and asked him about his views and countermeasures.

Although Okamura Ningji did everything he could to cover up, Sun Yumin, who was familiar with this period of history, knew very well that his target was Changsha.

Changsha is a strategic town in Central China and the key point of the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway. After the battles of Wuhan and Nanchang, Changsha's strategic position has risen to a particularly prominent position, and it has become a strategic point on the gateway to China's strategic rear and southwest. Hunan is a famous land of fish and rice in China, and during the Anti-Japanese War, it was an important supply base for food, soldiers and industrial resources of the National Government. Xue Yue's headquarters of the Ninth Theater Commander was also located in Changsha, the provincial capital, and the Chinese and Japanese troops were facing each other across the river on the Xinqiang River in northern Hunan Province.

The reason why Xue Yue had already started to make targeted arrangements when Okamura Ningji had just begun to mobilize his troops was, of course, a large part of the credit was due to the spy personnel, but it was undeniable that Sun Yumin's warning to Chen Bui and the Ministry of Military Affairs also played a great role.

He led the troops out of Anhui this time, one is to listen to Chen Bui's opinion, it is time to give the devils a little hardship, although the battle of Suizao gave the Japanese army a lot of setbacks, but obviously it did not hurt them to the bones, compared to the time when the soil and fertilizer were scared on the battlefield of Lanfeng, it is still far behind; On the other hand, he really wanted to test the combat effectiveness of his troops, although he only brought out four companies of a regiment, but the equipment was not to be underestimated, two companies were equipped with MP38 German submachine guns, and the other two companies were also strengthened firepower, originally two heavy machine guns and six light machine guns per company, but now it has become three heavy machine guns and nine light machine guns, although the company is not equipped with mortars and grenadiers, but Dong Wenbin's small artillery detachment and Zhou Shanjun's bayonet detachment that has not yet been absolutely formed have also been brought out. A team of nearly 800 people, still carrying mules, horses and supplies, it is really not an easy task to pass through the Japanese-occupied area unnoticed, but fortunately, the devil military uniform that was stripped off at the beginning came in handy, and there were two people who were proficient in Japanese and familiar with the habits of the Japanese army, and they rushed from Huoshan to the first battle of Changsha, and the first place to fire was now Gao'an, which is under the management of Yichun, Jiangxi.

To Sun Yumin's disappointment, when he arrived with great difficulty, Gaoyao had already fallen into the hands of the 106th Brigade of the 102nd Division of the Japanese Army. In desperation, he had no choice but to take Zhou Shanjun and a few of them across the Jinjiang River to find the whereabouts of the 32nd Army. Fortunately, Li Jingrong (1) They did not run far, and after giving up Gaoyao, the 32nd Army only withdrew to the second line of defense, which led to the previous scene, Sun Yumin pretended to be a liaison officer and teased Li Jingrong once.

The adjutant obviously hadn't heard of Sun Yumin's number, but seeing that his military seat was so respectful, he naturally didn't dare to underestimate this scarred face wearing a sergeant's uniform, and hurriedly put on a flattering face.

Phew, Bah!

Outside the house, two muffled sounds were heard, and then a voice like a broken gong came: "Commander, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, come in."

Sun Yumin was not polite at all, he responded to the words outside the house like a master.

With his voice, two soldiers wearing the same national army uniforms as Sun Yumin walked in. One is burly, shaped like an iron tower; The other is white, thin and weak, and there is no need to compare with others, and the two themselves form a stark contrast.

Seeing these two people come in as if they had nothing, Li Jingrong and the adjutant were both stupid, this is the military headquarters of the 32nd Army, although it is only temporary, but it is also heavily guarded, and there are a lot of bright and dark posts, but when the two of them entered the house, there was no warning outside, except for the muffled sound of two heavy objects hitting the ground just now.

"Who are you? How did you get in? Compared with the adjutant who was completely dumbfounded, Li Jingrong was relatively calm.

"They're my men." Sun Yumin didn't let Silly Bear and Zhou Shanjun answer, he didn't let them communicate with others, but he was worried about Silly Bear's violent temper, and if he didn't have the right taste, he would beat someone, if that was the case, it would be troublesome, and the bad guy was a major general and deputy commander, and it was really difficult to clean up.

"Your subordinates? What do they mean by that? ”

Although Li Jingrong had some heart palpitations, he didn't lose face too much, relying on Sun Yumin at the scene, no one dared to do anything to him.

"They are just worried about my safety, so they will rush in, there is no malicious intent, Li Jun can rest assured."

"General Sun, I don't mean to blame, I just want to know how they got in, there are heavy guards outside." Li Jingrong couldn't understand this, he couldn't understand how these two people avoided so many eyeliners before they stepped into this room.

"We took all your posts and secret posts along the way, and then we came in." Silly Bear grinned and said, it seemed that such a dangerous thing was too ordinary for the two of them.

“……”

When Li Jingrong heard this, he was speechless, and he didn't know how to ask again.

But the adjutant finally understood, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat at the moment, if he really did anything excessive to the scarface in front of him just now, then it is estimated that the entire 32nd Army headquarters has been martyred, although there are only two people who came in, but the ghost knows how many people have not entered!

"You didn't do anything to them, did you?" Sun Yumin opened his mouth to ask, he was a little worried that these two guys did not take it seriously, if they really killed the two soldiers of the 32nd Army, although Li Jingrong might not dare to do anything, but making a small report would also make him embarrassed, after all, it is not a good reputation to kill friendly soldiers.

"No, I just knocked them out, and I'll wake up later." Zhou Shanjun said this lazily.

Li Jingrong is really insightful, what kind of people have what kind of soldiers, the reason why he Sun Yumin is so famous is not only that he is bold, but all of his subordinates are not fuel-efficient lamps. Thinking of this, he was also secretly glad that if Sun Yumin was a villain with a grudge, and in the first battle of Lanfeng, Shang Zhen and Sun Tongxuan were so unrighteous, with these means under his command, it would not be too difficult to do something to Shang and Sun. Although he only obeyed orders at that time, he was sorry for others, and if he hated himself, he really didn't know how to die.

"Commander Li, to tell you the truth, I really don't want to deal with Shang Zhen's troops, but Gao An must not give up to the devil so easily." Sun Yumin finally began to say the purpose of his coming, and he continued: "The personal grudge between me and Shang Zhen will be put aside first, and today we will work together to take Gao'an, what do you think?" ”

"General Sun can be so open-minded, Li admires it so much. As long as Gao'an can be taken, the 32nd Army and Li's great kindness to Commander Sun will always be remembered. ”

"Our boss is no longer the division commander, he is now the commander." Silly Bear interjected and corrected Li Jingrong's title.

Sun Yumin glared at Silly Xiong, and then continued: "Since Commander Li also wants to take Gao'an, then please send troops to assist me and take the city at night tonight." ”

"Okay, I will put the 139th Division under your command and fully cooperate with your troops, and other units of the 32nd Army will also be on standby at any time to support you."

"That's not necessary, Sun is not used to commanding other people's troops, this kind of thing is better for you to come in person."

Sun Yumin categorically rejected Li Jingrong's proposal, and when he was embarrassed, he heard Sun Yumin's words again: "Commander Li, please order the 417th Regiment of the 139th Division to cross the river and attack, capture Shiguling, and advance with the 422nd Regiment and the 433rd Regiment at the same time, and rush to Gao'an with both sides. The ultimate goal was for the 417th Regiment to occupy Maxingshan, the 422nd Regiment to occupy Lianhua Mountain, and the 433rd Regiment to cooperate with our department to carry out a devastating blow to the 102nd Brigade of the Japanese Army. ”

When Sun Yumin said these words, there was no military map in the room, but he seemed to be very familiar with Gao'an, and even knew the 32nd Army and the 139th Division very well.

Li Jingrong hadn't answered his words yet, but he heard Sun Yumin's words in his ears again: "Commander Li, in this battle, if you belong to the 32nd Army and miss the fighter plane, don't blame Sun for being ruthless, please bring this to Li Zhaoying, the commander of the 139th Division, I know that he can be regarded as your home." ”

Everyone has already said this, and if Li Jingrong doesn't express his position, he won't be able to say it. He said, "Master Sun...... No, Commander Sun, please move to the command room, I will immediately summon the personnel of the 139th Division and above to come over for a meeting, please arrange the details in detail, you see how it goes. ”

"This is not necessary, with the wisdom of Commander Li, how can such things be used by Sun Mou to act as a substitute, I only hope that your ministry can keep in mind the phrase 'as a soldier, die as the soul of the army', and don't just leave the country and the nation behind for your own selfish interests."

After Sun Yumin said this, he stood up and walked out with Silly Bear and Zhou Shanjun, he didn't wait for Li Jingrong to say those high-sounding and determined words, and left this small room in this nameless village directly.

…………

Gao'an City in the middle of the night, standing quietly in the dark, with countless stars in the sky, a half-curved waning moon hanging obliquely in the air, and autumn cicadas chirping tirelessly.

Zhou Shanjun led several soldiers of the bayonet squad to a wooded area in the east of the city under the cover of night.

One hundred and ten meters in front is the city wall of Gao'an City, which is much shorter than the city wall of five or six meters high in other places. Originally, the short city wall was a good thing for the besieging party, but because of the unsheltered open land of 100 meters below the city wall, this city wall that was only about three meters high was even more difficult for people to sneak into.

Zhou Shanjun obviously discovered this problem, he was a little anxious, although it was late at night, judging from the torches lit every short distance on the city wall, someone must be taking care of these torches, and whether anyone was staring at this large open area or not, but if any movement was discovered, tonight's siege battle might be stillborn.

"Everyone, follow me, be careful not to be exposed." Zhou Shanjun's heart was crossed, and he said to the four soldiers behind him.

"Roger."

It wasn't until four answers behind him came to his ears that Zhou Shanjun flashed out of the woods.

Although it was September, the grass on the ground was still lush.

Zhou Shanjun was like a ghost, rushing out of the forest, after running a few steps, the whole person suddenly threw himself on the ground, crawled forward for more than ten meters, hid in a place with lush weeds, carefully observed the movement on the city wall, and made a gesture behind him, and the four soldiers did the same, and quickly climbed to his side.

Zhou Shanjun didn't wait for the four people behind him to come, he jumped up from the ground like a cheetah, bent down and ran as fast as he could, and when the four warriors reached the place where he had been hiding before, he had already reached another place where the weeds were thick, but he was much closer to the position of the city wall.

The cicada chirping gave them a lot of cover, and occasionally someone stepped on a dead branch, or accidentally made a sound, all of which were muffled by the cicada chirping, which usually bore them.

Soon, Zhou Shanjun and his four soldiers came to the base of the city wall.

Gao'an is very close to Nanchang, only more than 100 miles of roads, so although it has built a capital city, it must not be as high as a big city. These three-meter-high city walls were even shorter than the courtyard walls of some big landlords' homes, and the iron claws that Sun Yumin had prepared for them first couldn't use them at all.

The two slightly stronger soldiers tied up their horses and put their hands together, waiting for Zhou Shanjun to step on them.

This trick was taught to them by Zhou Shanjun, this three-meter-high city wall, as long as he rushed up a few steps, with the strength of these two people, it was easy to climb up.

But just as Zhou Shanjun rushed up, a head suddenly poked out from the city wall.

Sticking out his head was a devil, with a red five-star military hat on his head and two pieces of cloth hanging down from his ears, which explained his identity well.

Although the night was deep, it was not dark, and by the moonlight and starlight, the five of Zhou Shanjun were completely exposed to his eyes.

Fortunately, the ghost soldier who poked out his head was still very immature and young, and he was stunned by the scene in front of him, and he was stunned for a second or two.

These two seconds were enough for Zhou Shanjun to react, he took the bow and crossbow from his waist, resisted the safety, fired, and then hit the devil's throat, when he fell under the city, a catch all happened within a second or two.

After completing this series of actions, he slapped his chest a few times, obviously a little afraid, if the soldier just issued a warning, then tonight's operation would be a complete failure. Fortunately, this is a young devil, and the 106th Division is not a permanent division, if it is replaced by the old devils of the 13th Division, I really don't know what the consequences will be.

"Captain, are you up?"

Two soldiers on horseback asked softly.

Zhou Shanjun was taken aback by this sudden questioning, and quickly put his index finger to his mouth and made a gesture to shut up. Then, with a few arrow steps, he jumped in the air, stepped on the hands of the two warriors with his left foot, and stepped on the city wall with his right foot, and the whole person turned over to the city wall like a big harrier.

After Zhou Shanjun went up to the city wall, he did not rush to pull people up, but observed the movement on the city wall.

Fortunately, he climbed the city wall and no one noticed it, and on the city wall, five or six paces away from him, two devil soldiers snuggled under the torches, snorting and falling asleep, completely unaware that they would go to see him in their sleep, his Amaterasu.

Zhou Shanjun originally planned to use the Triangular Army to stab the two of them, but he was worried that the Triangular Army Thorn would not be fatal with one blow, so he inserted the military thorn in his hand back into the gaiters, and the shining silver boning knife appeared in his hand.

(1) Li Jingrong, deputy commander of the 32nd Army. In the first Battle of Changsha, the commander of the 32nd Army was Song Kentang, but for the needs of the storyline, Li Jingrong was written as the actual controller of the army, and I asked book friends not to take it seriously.
