Chapter 3 Who is the Commander-in-Chief?

"This is the boss of our loyal thirteen Arhats, nicknamed Feng Zhongliang, the tiger of the lower mountains, and our brothers like to call him Brother of the Mountain Tiger." The brother who was called the second brother pointed to the man beside him and introduced, "Our name is Guo Zhonglin, the second in line among the thirteen Arhats, we have studied for a few years, but we have always been poor, so our friends call us poor Xiucai." ”

Guo Zhonglin introduced here, and the man with cheeks stood up and hugged Zhang Luohui with both fists, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Our third child, Xiong Zhongren, nicknamed the bear blind man, and the fourth one next to him, the white-eyed wolf Li Zhongyun." Guo Zhonglin pointed it all the way, "The fifth, the cupola Luo Zhonggang, the sixth, the bald eagle Xiao Zhonghe, the seventh, the iron rooster Liu Zhonghai, the ninth, the fat monkey Xiang Zhonggui, the tenth, the flat sparrow Xiang Zhongju, the twelfth, the drunken ghost Lian Zhongjian, the thirteenth, the iron deaf Wei Zhongyue." ”

Guo Zhonglin introduced all the way, the brothers took turns to get up and greet Zhang Luohui, after the introduction one by one, Zhang Luohui clasped his fists with both hands, saluted the brothers back, and said: "Today I am fortunate to meet all the heroes, it is my honor Zhang Luohui, tomorrow's battle, we will play the first majesty, play the spirit of the heroes of Erlang Mountain." ”

Zhang Luohui's stirring and heroic words failed to stir up the emotions of the people, on the contrary, they once again caused everyone to laugh.

Guo Zhonglin had already bent over with a smile before he could sit down, he pointed at Zhang Luohui and said with a smile to Ye Tufei: "Sixth Master, I was right by you again, this Zhang Tuan Commander is really a guy with few brains." ”

Zhang Luohui was confused and asked Guo Zhonglin, "Why did Second Brother Guo say this?" ”

The fifth Luo Zhonggang laughed enough, and hurriedly replied: "Our thirteen arhats are from the eldest platoon to the thirteenth, but there are only eleven of us sitting here now, why don't you ask who is missing?" ”

Zhang Luohui only cared about memorizing everyone's surnames, but ignored the number of people and the ranking of size, which was quite embarrassing when Luo Zhonggang said this.

At this time, Feng Zhongliang, the tiger who went down the mountain, knocked on the table and said, "You guys, don't joke with Captain Zhang anymore, it's not too good to repeat what our sixth master said behind his back." ”

Guo Zhonglin is an unforgiving character by nature, he turned his head to look at Feng Zhongliang and protested: "What's wrong with a joke? The sixth master can Zhang an evaluation, that is to look up to him Head Zhang, what do you say? Head Zhang? ”

Feng Zhongliang ignored Guo Zhonglin's crooked nonsense, and turned to Ye Tufei and said, "Sixth Master, you can send a message, after all, we don't have much time, and we can hurry up for a while." ”

Ye Tufei had been watching everyone bickering with interest, and when he heard Feng Zhongliang's suggestion, he seemed a little reluctant, and paused for a few seconds before he spoke. "Oh, that, what Boss Feng said makes sense, we really don't have much time, let's get down to business first!"

After everyone quieted down, Ye Tufei said to Zhang Luohui: "Then let's ask Head Zhang to tell him what he thinks!" ”

Zhang Luohui had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, took a big step forward, and said loudly: "Little Japan attacked Jiajiawang from the east bank of the Yishui River, and its nearest route was to take the valley passage of Erlang Mountain. The topography of this Erlang Mountain, you must be much clearer than me Zhang Luohui, the valley passage is sandwiched between the many hills of Erlang Mountain, and it is a good place to fight and ambush. ”

After coughing lightly, Zhang Luohui took out a map from his coat pocket, flattened it and put it on the table, pointed to the marks in the map, and then said: "We can arrange two defensive positions on both sides of the Yangu passage from Phoenix Ridge to Sanshanwa, my 258th Regiment will guard one, your Zhongyi Hall will guard one, and the sixth master, there are many of you, you can stay part of it as a reserve." In this way, we can take care of each other on the left and right, and form a defensive depth in front and back, and small Japan can easily pass through? ”

After listening to Zhang Luohui's battle plan, Ye Tufei smiled, but he didn't speak in a hurry.

Here, Feng Zhongliang was the first to ask: "Commander Zhang, according to what you mean, our two armies fight together, and there must be a commander-in-chief, right?" ”

Zhang Luohui looked at Feng Zhongliang, nodded secretly, and said: "Brother Mountain Tiger, this question is good, the most important thing in marching and fighting is to achieve unity of orders, and this commander-in-chief is indispensable." ”

Guo Zhonglin took off his gold-rimmed frames, threw them on the table, and yelled at Feng Zhongliang, "Aren't you talking nonsense? The sixth master is sitting there, of course the sixth master is in chief? Isn't it, Captain Zhang? ”

Zhang Luohui smiled, but said: "The most suitable person to be the commander-in-chief is me." ”

Before the words landed, Lao Wu Luo Zhonggang jumped up and said, "We have more people in the Zhongyi Hall than you, and there are more guns than you, why should we listen to your command?" ”

Zhang Luohui was very patient and explained: "Old fifth brother, we are fighting with little Japan, not grabbing territory in Erlang Mountain, little Japan's combat effectiveness is extremely strong, if you want to win this battle, you must unify the order and strictly implement the battle plan, I don't mean to look down on our brothers in Zhongyitang, but then again, you have not undergone strict military training, this is a fact, if you don't obey my unified command, I am afraid that this battle will suffer a big loss." ”

Lao Wu was not convinced, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ye Tufei, he ordered: "Lao Wu, everyone has been tossing for most of the night, and they are all hungry, why don't you work hard?" Call up the brothers of the gang team and make a mouth hot for everyone? ”

Lao Wu sneered a few times, but finally obeyed Ye Tufei's instructions, turned around and walked out the door. As soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by Ye Tufei again: "By the way, the fifth, let the brothers of the team take out all our family foundations, and let everyone, including the brothers under Captain Zhang, have a happy meal tomorrow morning." After all, tomorrow morning's meal is our brother's last meal, and it's good to go on the road when you're full. ”

The brothers present looked at each other when they said this, and they couldn't guess the sound of Ye Tufei's words.

Zhang Luohui couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Why is the sixth master saying this?" ”

Ye Tufei responded: "According to Commander Zhang's tactics, it won't take an hour for the brothers on both sides of us to be slaughtered by Little Japan, I mean that if we can't stay up for lunch, we will all die." ”

Zhang Luohui's face turned red, ignoring etiquette, and asked: "How can the sixth master conclude that we can't last an hour?" ”

Ye Tufei smiled faintly and said, "How many people are under the command of Head Zhang?" How is the equipment? ”

"Excluding the porters, there are two hundred and forty-two combat troops..."

Ye Tufei didn't wait for Zhang Luohui to finish speaking, and asked again: "How many light machine guns?" How many heavy machine guns? How many grenadiers? Is there a cannon? Well, you don't have to answer me, I probably know your situation better than you do. Our soldiers are united, and there are only a dozen light machine guns, and there are a few heavy machine guns, but there are not many bullets, as for the artillery, I won't say it, your regiment commander Zhang is three or five mortars and dozens of shells. On the other hand, Little Japan, oh yes, I don't know how much Commander Zhang knows about this rapid assault force of Little Japan? ”

Zhang Luohui was at a loss, and he couldn't say clearly.

Ye Tufei shook his head, sighed, and said, "Okay, let me tell you, this army of Little Japan has at least seven hundred people, plus eight tanks, fourteen armored fighting vehicles, an artillery squadron with twenty-four mortars, and as for light and heavy machine guns, there must be forty or fifty in total." ”

Zhang Luohui gasped and asked unwillingly, "How did the sixth master know this information?" ”

Guo Zhonglin pointed to the window and interjected: "Little Japan in the east, government troops in the west, our people have been staring at it!" ”

Following the direction of Guo Zhonglin's finger, Zhang Luohui saw two carrier pigeons.

At this time, Ye Tufei continued: "According to Commander Zhang's battle plan, the two positions on the left and right of the Yangu Pass seem to be able to take care of each other, with depth and strategy, but Commander Zhang should know that this kind of position defense tactics rely on strong fortifications, and we still have three hours at most, in the foreign words you are used to, six hours, what kind of fortifications can be built in such a short time?" At that time, little Japan didn't need to bother with much brains, 500 meters away, 24 mortars lined up, about 300 meters of dozens of light and heavy machine guns crossed, eight tanks at the head, 14 tanks behind the palace, an infantry squadron after the rear, a cannon fire covered, and then light and heavy machine guns fired at the same time, forming a dense fire blockade network, eight tanks of flat fire, 14 armored fighting vehicles full fire assault, an infantry squadron of point charge, where is this combat, this is simply a massacre! Head Zhang, in this situation, how long do you think we can survive? ”

Zhang Luohui suddenly felt a chill down his spine, Ye Tufei's analysis was right, and at the same time, he ignored it. In this kind of firepower, it is like a child with a small wooden stick going to a duel with an adult with a machete.

"How's that to be?" Zhang Luohui did not hide his panic and blurted out to ask.

Guo Zhonglin couldn't hold back, interjected again, and said: "Listen to the sixth master, the sixth master has his own way." ”

Zhang Luohui cast a pleading look at Ye Tufei and said, "Please also ask the sixth master to teach you." ”

Without waiting for Ye Tufei to answer, Guo Zhonglin grabbed the conversation again and said, "Then now, according to Commander Zhang, who should be the commander-in-chief?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Luo Zhonggang rushed in and shouted loudly: "Sixth master, of course it's the sixth master, is this still discussed by the mother-in-law and mother-in-law?" After speaking, the person had already stood in front of Zhang Luohui, "Head Zhang, are you still not convinced?" ”

Zhang Luohui looked embarrassed and refused to speak up.

Feng Zhongliang knocked on the table and said, "Okay, okay, don't fight anymore, let's listen to the tactics arranged by the sixth master!" ”

Ye Tufei waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! You play a little longer, and then we'll talk about it when we're full. Oh yes, Captain Zhang, call your brothers up the mountain too, look at the weather, it is estimated that you will not be able to avoid a heavy rain. ”

Zhang Luohui responded, and wanted to go down the mountain to greet his brother in person, but was stopped by Feng Zhongliang: "Commander Zhang is not good at mountain walking, so let's arrange for our brother to take a trip, Captain Zhang, just write a note and give it to our brother." ”

Zhang Luohui took the pen and paper, and just as he was about to put down the pen, there was a brother outside to report, saying that it was news from Gengji Town in the east.

Ye Tufei took the note handed over by the brother, which read: When it was ugly, the Japanese army was stationed in Gengji Town, and it has now been sharpened.
