Since you don't want to live, then block the way for you. Yang Geng and the brigade were transferred back to the east overnight, and Liu Jing found that the torches on the opposite side were shaking and the voices were noisy, so he reported the situation to Zhuang Jihua, who soon came to the position of the third battalion to observe the situation.

"The dog said, it's actually such a big look and it's coming." Yang Genghe's troops were unscrupulously deployed there, which made Liu Jing very angry, and he had a kind of anger that he was despised.

"They see that we are not strong enough." The sound from the night wind became more and more noisy, and Xiong Shouyun's heart was full of helplessness: "It seems that tomorrow you will also have a fierce battle here." ”

"Okay, Lao Tzu has long had itchy hands, and it's really not a taste to watch others fight." Liu Jing's third battalion didn't fire a single shot today, and he heard the continuous gunfire from the front and west, and he couldn't bear it anymore in his heart.

"Liu Jing, do you dare to attack once." Zhuang Jihua, who had been silent, suddenly asked.

"Now?" Liu Jing was slightly stunned.

"No, wait a little longer, wait for them to be quiet, and when it is half past three, your whole battalion will attack, and I will send the second battalion to meet you." While they were talking, Zhuang Jihua made a decision in his heart, instead of waiting for the crazy attack after dawn, he would not go out tonight to take him by surprise and disrupt the enemy's plans.

"Cultural Revolution, can this work?" Xiong Shouyun asked hesitantly. The twelve-day mission, today is only the third day, and the casualties have already reached more than 200 people, and if it goes on like this, it will be very good to be able to hold it for ten days, and if the attack fails, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"War is an adventure, we are here to take risks, and besides, they are so arrogant, which makes me unhappy. Yunfei," Zhuang Jihua called Song Yunfei: "You take the division reconnaissance company to participate, and you are responsible for opening the way." ”

"Yes." Song Yunfei turned around and left, he rarely participated in battles since he became Zhuang Jihua's adjutant, but as long as Zhuang Jihua sent him out, it meant that it was a very risky battle.

The divisional reconnaissance company was the best-equipped company in the whole division, with 90 men in the company wearing machine guns, three light machine guns, and each of them was equipped with a large knife.

During the training in Dongguan, Zhuang Jihua completely handed over this company to Song Yunfei, and Song Yunfei did not live up to his hopes, his training was almost cruel, and only 90 people from a company of more than 120 people passed his training in the end, and all the others were eliminated to ordinary companies.

Zhuang Jihua was reluctant to let the reconnaissance company fight in all the battles, and he was going to take out his steel knife tonight.

"Battalion Commander Liu, after the reconnaissance company starts, you launch an attack, remember, the bigger the momentum, the better, the more fierce the better. But when you hear the trumpet sounding from our side, you must resolutely retreat, and you must not hesitate in the slightest. Do you understand? Zhuang Jihua commanded in a deep voice.

"Yes, the lowly duty understands, as soon as the charge horn sounds, immediately withdraw the troops." Liu Jing restrained the excitement in his heart and replied seriously.

"Also, you have to remember," Zhuang Jihua showed hesitation on his face, and after a while, he said with difficulty: "Don't take prisoners this time." ”

Liu Jing's eyes widened suddenly, Xiong Shouyun was so surprised that he couldn't speak, just looked at Zhuang Jihua blankly.

"We don't have enough food, and we don't have the manpower to take care of them, so we have to do this...," Zhuang Jihua explained with difficulty.

Liu Jing and Xiong Shouyun opened their mouths and didn't speak, just nodded silently.

At half past two, Song Yunfei quietly disappeared into the night with the reconnaissance company, and after they walked for 20 minutes, Liu Jing sneaked out of the position with the third battalion, and the remaining position was taken over by the second battalion. The first battalion on the front and the three regiments on the west were all on standby to guard against the enemy's counter-attack.

Perhaps tired of tossing and turning, Yang Genghe's position was quiet, several bonfires burned at the front of the position, acting as lighting tools, a few sentries wandered in the trenches, and there were faint snoring sounds in the night, they were enjoying the last calm night before the battle.

Song Yunfei led the reconnaissance company to crawl forward, slowly approaching the periphery of the fire, Song Yunfei found a breakthrough from afar, this section may be the enemy's junction, the distance between the two fires is relatively large, leaving a small dark space in the middle.

Two soldiers crept through the gap and leaped into the trench, followed by two, and in a short time seven or eight soldiers passed by, who searched the left and right sides of the trench in two groups.

The two groups of soldiers quickly dealt with the enemy's sentry, Song Yunfei quietly rushed into the trench with the reconnaissance company, and then he and the reconnaissance company commander each took a road and searched along the trench.

However, soon their good fortune came to an end, and while touching the sentry on the enemy's machine-gun position, the sentry hidden in the shadows opened fire, and the sentry was quickly eliminated, but the result could not be changed. In the silence of the night, the crisp gunfire was particularly loud.

Song Yunfei immediately changed from a secret attack to an open attack, no longer caring about the enemy in the trenches, but plunging into the depth of the enemy; Liu Jing heard the gunshots behind him, so he stood up straight and shouted: "Rush!" ”

The sound of gunfire also woke up the enemy, and the position was once again in confusion, the enemy crawled out of his sleeping place and threw himself into the trench, and before they could arrive, the third battalion had already rushed to the position and sprayed a rain of bullets at the enemy in the trench.

Liu Jing divided the whole battalion into three parts, two companies swept the enemy in the trenches, and one company attacked in depth to cooperate with the reconnaissance company.

Perhaps thinking that Zhuang Jihua was powerless to fight back, the enemy's trench was only built once, and there was a flat avenue behind it. A large number of enemies were resting on the fire in the field, and the sound of gunfire alarmed them, and by the time they reacted, Song Yunfei had already killed them.

In the night battle, the flower machine gun spewed flames, the enemy fell in rows, the firelight flickered, everywhere were the figures of the Northern Expeditionary Army soldiers impacting, the fire of grenade explosions, the enemy couldn't figure out how many people came, only heard the sound of gunfire in all directions, the officers ran away, and the soldiers retreated in a chaotic manner.

Yang Genghe's headquarters was set up in a small village five miles away, and there were only seven or eight families in the village.

When the gun rang out, Yang Genghe was sleeping at the headquarters, and when he heard the gunshot, he thought it was a sentry who had gone off, but then the clicking sound made his brain feel excited, and he immediately turned over and got out of bed, picked up the gun and ran outside the house.

"Where's the gun?"

"Brigade seat, the Northern Expeditionary Army sneak attack." The adjutant panted and ran to report.

"Defend in place! Be quick! Yang Genghe's brain was a little confused, so he could only order mechanically.

"Yes!" The adjutant turned to leave.

"Call the Chief of Staff."

The chaos of the enemy made Song Yunfei even more daring, and he led a reconnaissance company to drive a large group of enemies backwards, and anyone who tried to stop was mercilessly attacked by him, and they hit from left to right, and from right to left. Just on the periphery of Yang Genghe and the headquarters, Yang Genghe did not dare to come out at all, nor did he dare to let the rebels storm his defensive line, and simply carried out indiscriminate attacks on those who retreated, which caused a large number of routs to fall outside their battle lines. The routs were angry and began to attack them.

After Liu Jing eliminated the enemy in the trenches, he left one company to defend the retreat and led the other company to attack in depth. Instead of rushing directly to the front, he went around to the right flank and attacked the enemy from the flank.

Yang Geng and a regiment placed on the right flank, heard the frontal gunfire, the regiment commander Wang Fang felt that the situation was not good, he did not go to the front line of the counterattack, nor did he take the opportunity to attack Niuhang Station, but took two battalions back to support Yang Geng and the headquarters. Halfway down, he was attacked by Liu Jing.

On the roundabout road, Liu Jing suddenly found a large group of enemies coming from the right flank, and he immediately judged that this was the enemy who had returned to help, so he immediately made a decision and launched an attack first.

Liu Jing's attack did not cause confusion among the enemy, and Wang Fang judged in advance that he might encounter the Northern Expeditionary Army, so he immediately left one battalion to block Liu Jing, and took another battalion back to the rescue brigade headquarters.

The biggest difference between night battles and daytime battles is that night battles rely more on the initiative and will of the soldiers, and in this respect the gap between the warlord troops and the Northern Expeditionary Army is too great.

Taking advantage of the darkness when the enemy could not see the number of people clearly, Liu Jing commanded the troops to attack, opened the way with grenades, machine guns, and machine guns, and rushed and attacked.

The heavy fire made Song Yunfei conclude that this was an important command of the enemy, and this judgment made him excited, and he commanded the troops to launch a strong attack. To say that the quality of the reconnaissance company is really not bad, under their fierce attack, Yang Geng and the brigade headquarters defense line was torn apart layer by layer.

Yang Genghe was in a hurry in the command headquarters, and his guards had already been sent to the front, but they still couldn't stop the fierce attack of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and they saw the grenade explode at the entrance of the brigade headquarters. At the moment of crisis, Wang Fang arrived with a battalion, and Yang Genghe immediately ordered him to fight back.

Wang Fang didn't say much, he personally led the troops, and the reconnaissance company did not retreat, and with the cooperation of the three battalions and seven companies, Wang Fang started a fierce battle on the outskirts of the village.

Yang Genghe was also anxious, he personally supervised the counterattack, and cut off the heads of three battalion commanders in a row, which gradually stabilized his position and forced the reconnaissance company and the seventh company out of the village.

After Song Yunfei's offensive was contained, the situation began to change in the direction of Yang Genghe, after all, Song Yunfei's number was too small, there were seven or eight hundred enemies outside the village, under their desperate counterattack, Song Yunfei retreated to the outside of the village, step by step away from the village.

At this moment, a loud charge horn sounded behind him, and the sudden sound of the charge signal shocked the enemy, thinking that the Northern Expeditionary Army was coming again for reinforcements, and hurriedly shrank his forces, preparing to deal with the next wave of attacks of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

After dawn, Yang Genghe gathered his troops with a gloomy face, and the fierce battle made him suffer heavy losses, and the regiment that was arranged in the front line to attack after dawn lost half, the regiment commander was killed, the two battalions brought by Wang Fang lost about one-third, the team directly under the brigade headquarters lost one-third, and the whole army lost more than 1,000 people. This means that the entire brigade lost a third. The battlefield corpses of the attackers were just over 130.
