The officers and men of the 1st Regiment had come out to carry out the attack, and they had nothing but weapons. After the hard work in the morning, the afternoon and especially after the evening became even more unbearable with hunger and cold.

Unlike them, each soldier carries no less than 30 kilograms of equipment and carries compressed dry rations. When they were eating, the officers and men of the first regiment were only greedy, and they were embarrassed to share the rations of the Flying Tiger Army, after all, the night assault operation was mainly based on the Flying Tiger Army.

At dinner, the Flying Tigers distributed a part of their rations to the 200 commandos selected from the 1st Regiment to replenish their strength and follow the Flying Tigers.

Ge Luohan, the commander of the first regiment, ate the compressed biscuits of the Flying Tiger Army, and said enviously: "I heard that your Flying Tiger Army is well treated, but when I saw it today, it was true. ”

Golohan's chief of staff took the backpack of Huang Haiming, the leader of the Tiger Army, tried the weight, and couldn't help but straighten his tongue and said:

"Captain Huang, this bag is at least 50 pounds, right? It's hard to climb such a high mountain, empty-handed, and you are carrying such a heavy thing, I think you are more neat than us when you climb the mountain, it's really not easy. ”

Huang Haiming said: "What is this? When we usually train, the weight is generally more than 80 pounds, and when we perform tasks independently, if necessary, the weight will exceed 120 pounds! ”

Seeing the shocked eyes of Ge Luohan and the others, Huang Haiming said: "Everyone envies us for the good treatment of the Flying Tiger Army, but they don't know how difficult the mission we are performing.

Don't talk about this, the hard work we usually pay for training, ordinary people can't bear it, let's say the simplest, every morning, we have to get up at five o'clock, carrying 80 pounds of off-road, 30 miles, every day.

When I came back, I had breakfast and then trained, three hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon, all of which were difficult movements......"

Huang Haiming gave a good lesson to the officers and soldiers of these provisional divisions, and they thought about the hard work of the Flying Tiger Army's training, and felt that it was too happy to be an ordinary infantryman.

Night has finally fallen.

After a day's observation, the Tang army found that the Tubo people were not many people stationed on the top of the hill in front, and they were only monitoring posts, playing the role of sentry on the flank of the Eagle's Beak Pass.

At one o'clock in the morning, the officers and men of the Flying Tiger took out their weapons, handed over the package to the officers and soldiers of the 1st Regiment for safekeeping, and went to the top of the mountain.

The 200 officers and men of the 1st Regiment Commando kept a distance of 50 meters from the Flying Tiger Army, and then followed.

The temperature on the top of Qilian Mountain is extremely low, and it is even more unbearable at night.

There were about 30 Tibetans on the top of the mountain, and they set up three tents in the leeward, leaving two soldiers to stand guard.

It was too cold, and the two Tibetan soldiers, dressed in thick fur coats, still shivering their teeth from the cold, and the cold night wind whipped up snowflakes and beat their faces red from the cold, and they hid behind the rocks, leaned their weapons aside, and curled up together with their hands in their sleeves to keep warm.

A soldier muttered, "Qu Chang (captain) is just eccentric, tonight it was his brother-in-law's turn to stand guard, but he sent me to replace him, it's too unfair." ”

Another soldier said: "The captain is a red man next to the leader, who dares to offend him?" Isn't it just standing guard, it's a little cold, and you can't freeze to death. Gritted his teeth and passed. ”

Suddenly, the soldiers seemed to hear something, and when they turned their heads, a grimace suddenly appeared in front of them, and they were frightened.

Before they could understand, a sharp dagger had already slashed through their necks and shins, and the two Tibetan soldiers fell down without saying a word.

The Flying Tiger Army's members, whose faces were painted with oil paint, made a gesture downward, and the Flying Tiger Army members who were hiding behind the rocks also climbed up.

Huang Haiming gestured a few times to the squad leaders under him, and the squad leaders nodded, and led people closer to the tents of the Tubo people.

In less than a minute, the team members had already walked out of the tent and made gestures to indicate that all the Tubo people had been resolved.

Huang Haiming observed that there was a faint light on the eagle's beak at the bottom of the mountain, and he was still at least 1,500 meters away, and he found several piles of firewood stacked next to the tent. It seems that these surveillance posts, once they find out about the situation, are going to light these firewood to report the news.

Huang Haiming sent someone down to inform the large army to come up.

Soon Colohan came up with his troops.

Huang Haiming and Ge Luohan discussed it, and they still acted in the order just now, and the main force followed up 300 meters away from the commando.

As the saying goes, it's easier to go up than to down. Not to mention at night.

The Qilian Mountains are steep, and the rocks on the mountains are severely weathered, so it is difficult to go down the mountain without making a sound.

Huang Haiming took the Flying Tiger Army and carefully moved downward, a distance of 1,500 meters, and walked for more than an hour before he came to the vicinity of Eagle's Beak Pass.

After careful observation, Huang Haiming found that most of the Tibetans were stationed on the other side of the valley, and the valleys were connected by a rope bridge.

A rope bridge is a simple bridge that connects the two ends with a dozen thick ropes, lays wooden planks on them, and pulls guardrails with ropes on both sides to form a simple bridge.

On this side of the valley, there are several houses, and there are more than a dozen tents next to them, which are supposed to contain temporary reinforcements.

Huang Haiming judged the situation, on this side of the valley, according to the calculation of ten people in a tent, there are about 160 people, plus the room in the room, counting him 50 people, there are about 200 Tibetan defenders on this side.

The crux of the matter was that after the battle began, once the Tubo people on the other side of the valley cut the rope bridge, the Tang army could no longer do anything about them.

The Tubo people on the opposite side were still able to firmly control the Eagle's Beak Pass, and the army was still impassable.

Huang Haiming decided to personally lead 30 team members, quickly rushed across the rope bridge, occupied the opposite bridgehead, and left 20 team members on this side of the bridge to defend to prevent the Tubo people from destroying the rope bridge.

Huang Haiming decided to wait for the first regiment of ground commandos to come up and immediately start the operation.

Huang Haiming sent someone to inform the follow-up troops to follow up quickly, and he led the members of the Flying Tiger Army to move quickly towards the rope bridge.

At this moment, the Tibetans spotted them and shouted loudly.

Huang Haiming led the members of the Flying Tiger Army directly through the tents of the Tubo people and rushed to the rope bridge desperately.

Hearing the sound of the alarm, the Tibetans rioted, and they put on their clothes haphazardly and got out of the tent.

The members of the Flying Tiger Army, passing through this large tent and meeting the Tubo people, were stabbed, and they never stopped under their feet, and quickly rushed to the side of the rope bridge.

At this time, on the opposite side of the rope bridge, a large group of Tibetans had already appeared.
