Song Xiongfu stared at Zhuang Jihua with wide eyes and stupidly, Zhuang Jihua ignored him, turned around and ordered: "Go, everyone call, I want to arrange the next battle plan." ”

Then he said to Song Xiongfu: "You are very brave in the war, and you are also one of the best among our classmates, but your biggest shortcoming is that you are unwilling to use your brains, now you only command a battalion, and it is nothing to use your brains less, you can command tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of troops later, can you do it without using your brains?" ”

Although Zhuang Jihua's tone was gentle, the content was completely critical, but Song Xiongfu listened honestly and didn't dare to be wild at all.

"I ask you, what preparations are needed for the siege? How long does it take to make these preparations? How will the hostile situation change during this time? After the water is repaired, if Xie Hongxun comes to attack, how will we defend it? If we can't keep it, we will do something. ”

Song Xiongfu listened and calculated, and after the calculation was clear, he didn't make trouble.

Although Xiushui City is not as high as Huizhou, there are still city walls, you need at least a few ladders to enter the city, and it will take a few hours to build ladders and sports troops, and wait until dawn to repair water, will Xie Hongxun sit idly by, Phoenix Mountain is so lively, and the city will not send people for help?

"Figured it out?" Zhuang Jihua didn't have much contact with Song Xiongfu in school, and he got to know more after working together, but the longer he worked together, the more he liked this person, although this person was a little rough, but he was not blind, and he was also very faithful.

"You have to carry your head well, let's continue to fight." Zhuang Jihua patted him on the shoulder, Song Xiongfu's body trembled, and he only heard the last sentence and continued to fight, and his spirit immediately rose.

After Xiong Shouyun, Yu Chengwan and Liu Jing came, Zhuang Jihua put the map in front of them and said to them: "It is not our goal to conquer Phoenix Mountain, our purpose is to drag Xie Hongxun and prevent him from going south to reinforce Yang Zhendong." Now that we have laid down Phoenix Mountain, what will they do? ”

"Needless to say, I'm definitely back." Yu Chengwan said with a smile.

"That's right, he's definitely back." Zhuang Jihua said with a smile: "Xie Hongxun has a hot temper, he can be convinced after suffering such a loss?" So I think he's going to rush back, and we'll wait for him on his way back. ”

Yes! One regiment had to fight an ambush of two brigades. Xiong Shouyun and the others were dumbfounded, Song Xiongfu opened his mouth and didn't speak, but he muttered in his heart, and said that I was reckless, which was more reckless than me.

"Xie Hongxun will not only come back, but will also go back overnight, you see, this is the route I predicted Xie Hongxun would come back." Zhuang Jihua pointed to the red arrow on the map, this arrow from Hangkou Yuefeng Hexi Laofen Valley Ziling, everyone looked at Zhuang Jihua with some confusion after reading it, Zhuang Jihua pointed to the red line and said: "We set up an ambush in Guziling, it is whimsical for a regiment to ambush two brigades, but the enemy is in a hurry to go back, so we will hit his rear guard, baggage troops." It's still the same sentence, fast, fierce, ruthless, and leave after the fight. ”

"Deputy division commander, what if the enemy doesn't take this line?" Xiong Shouyun asked suspiciously.

"This is a gamble," Zhuang Jihua said: "I have thought about it for a long time, and I have considered several routes to come back, only this road is the shortest and fastest, according to Xie Hongxun's surname, this is the most likely route for him to take." ”

"What if he doesn't leave?" Song Xiongfu got into the tip of the horns.

"That's his luck." Zhuang Jihua had to say regretfully.

Gambling, luck, Xiong Shouyun Yu Cheng never expected Zhuang Jihua to be so .......

"Cultural Revolution," Xiong Shouyun felt inappropriate, but Zhuang Jihua didn't let him continue.

"Needless to say, it's decided, there is no advantage, I am panicked, Yu Chengwan,"

"Here."

"You take a company to stay in Phoenix Mountain, and make it look like you want to attack the city, such as preparing a ladder or something, the play must be performed enough, and the appearance must be done."

Yu Chengwan accepted the task with a bitter face, and he couldn't help but complain in his mouth: "Why is the deputy division commander me again." Phoenix Mountain, I just.... ”

"Don't bargain, you're on this mission." Zhuang Jihua's face was wrenched, and his tone was stern: "The others immediately gathered the team and acted immediately, and the wounded and sick were transferred by Battalion Commander Yu." Act now. ”

This reflects the super quality of a regiment trained by Zhuang Jihua himself, from following Wan Shouhe to storming Phoenix Mountain, walking nearly 100 miles a day, and after fighting a tough battle for just over an hour, a regiment moved to the old tomb mountain more than 20 miles away.

In the dark night, under the moonlight, more than 1,000 people left Phoenix Mountain in the dark, for the sake of secrecy, without lighting torches, a group of soldiers marched the rugged mountain road.

"Cultural Revolution, this won't work, let's light the fire." Xiong Shouyun said to Zhuang Jihua that from time to time, some soldiers fell, but fortunately, it was not a cliff, and they fell down and got up and walked.

Zhuang Jihua is also very embarrassed to look behind him, the mountain road is not easy to walk, but if you light a torch, you can see it from the far mountain, Zhuang Jihua gritted his teeth and said sharply: "Now the officers must set an example, and order all officers to walk in the front of their own troops, and there must be special guards at dangerous places." Do not light torches. ”

Xiong Shouyun still wanted to persuade him, but Zhuang Jihua waved his hand: "Daonan, more than a thousand torches, you can see it from the top of the mountain for more than ten miles, so what kind of ambush can only be ambushed by others." I go to the vanguard company, you go to the guard company. ”

After walking for more than three hours on a mountain road of more than 20 miles, they arrived at the ambush site at about three o'clock in the morning, and all the people were tired enough.

Zhuang Jihua's choice of ambush is a valley, the middle of the valley is relatively flat, there is a passage of about 20 meters at the exit to Xiushui, this passage is flanked by two small hills, Zhuang Jihua arranged two companies here, machine gun company and two battalion six companies, their task is to be responsible for cutting off the enemy in the encirclement and blocking the enemy's possible reinforcements, commanded by the deputy regiment commander Xiong Shouyun; On both sides of the valley were the first and third battalions, and he still had five companies in reserve.

A mass lurks quietly in the mountains and forests, waiting for possible enemies.

On the night of early autumn, the mountain wind blew a chill, and the continuous march exhausted the soldiers, and many people fell asleep like this.

"Battalion commander, did you say the enemy would come?" After waiting for more than half an hour, anxiety began to spread in the troops, and the herald of the third battalion quietly asked the battalion commander Liu Jing.

"It's coming." Liu Jing's tone was more like cheering up, both cheering him up and cheering himself up.

The thick drowsiness hit him for a while, Liu Jing couldn't help but doze off for a while, his head drooped, his body was crooked, and he almost fell.

"Wake up, wake up, don't sleep, you'll get sick if you sleep like this."

After waking up the people around him one by one, Liu Jing and Shen Zigang, the deputy battalion commander, went down to each company separately to wake up the people in the battalion.

"Damn, why haven't you come yet." Liu Jing's discovery was reflected in the regiment headquarters, and Zhuang Jihua immediately ordered everyone not to sleep, and the soldiers reminded each other. Song Xiongfu woke up and looked at the dark mountains and forests, and scolded in a low voice.

"Did the deputy division commander lose his eyes this time?" Deputy battalion commander Ma Yucai whispered.

Song Xiongfu didn't answer, he was also doubting in his heart that there were too many uncertainties in this ambush, and Xie Hongxun might not come back, or he might take other paths.

"Wait. When the day dawns, it will naturally be..."Song Xiongfu's urn voice was not finished. A soldier hurried to report.

"Report, a large group of people has been found moving ahead."

"You read that right?" came, Song Xiongfu and Ma Yucai looked at each other, and Song Xiongfu asked in a deep voice.

"You can't be wrong, torches are miles long."

"Damn, it's finally here, keep watching." Song Xiongfu couldn't help but stand up.

The news of the enemy's arrival immediately spread throughout the regiment, and all the agitation and restlessness were swept away.

When the morning star loomed in the sky, Xie Hongxun's vanguard passed under the noses of a group with torches, followed by a large group of people, and the officers sitting in the sedan chair ordered loudly from time to time: "Speed up, fast, you must rush outside the city before dawn." ”

Noisy footsteps, cursing, panting, and collisions broke the silence of the valley, seeing this situation, Zhuang Jihua felt at ease. The long march had exhausted the soldier's physical strength almost ...... if the enemy had been reduced by half.

After the brigade had been thanked, the enemy's baggage troops arrived, and the troops in front moved too fast, causing the troops to be disjointed, and the rear troops moved relatively slowly with a large number of mules, horses and people, and by the time they reached the valley, the enemy troops had already passed seven or eight miles.

"Let's go." After all the baggage troops entered the valley, Zhuang Jihua ordered softly.

With this order, the silent valley was full of gunfire, and the combat effectiveness of the baggage troops was already weak, and the overnight march consumed their will to fight, not to mention that they never expected to be ambushed here at this time, and the strong accident made the enemy panic and the team was chaotic.

Taking advantage of the enemy's chaos, Zhuang Jihua ordered a charge.

The loud trumpets sounded around the valley, and in the shimmering light of the mountains and forests, among the weeds, black shadows rushed out, and they rushed down the hillside and onto the dirt road with a shout.

The hard work of the night, the running around all day, are all vented in this cry.

The enemy on the dirt road heard the sound of gunfire, shouts, and trumpets all around, and looked at the crowd rushing over, not knowing how many men and horses were ambushed here.

The clever ones immediately knelt down and surrendered, but more of them ran around like headless flies, and the first and third battalions quickly rushed out of the woods from the left and right sides, rushing onto the dirt road, and the shouts of "surrender the guns and don't kill" were everywhere.

Xie Hongxun suddenly heard the gunfire behind him in the front brigade, he sat up from the sedan chair, looked behind him suspiciously, and wondered if he had heard it wrong, but then the gunfire on the side of the mountain beam became more and more intensive, followed by the earth-shattering charge. Xie Hongxun sat down on the sedan chair, and he understood that the baggage team was over.

"Master! It's a baggage team! The chief of staff came running to report, looking panicked.

Xie Hongxun's face was blue under the firelight, and he looked at the soldiers on the left and right, these soldiers were sitting or lying or holding guns, all of them were out of breath.

"Fuck me! Is there such a war?! Xie Hongxun suddenly scolded.

Yesterday when he went out of the city he was full of confidence, but he walked in the mountains for a whole day, did not see the slightest shadow of the enemy, he lived near Hangkou not long ago, he received a report from Gan Shijun Pegasus, Phoenix Mountain was lost, he immediately led people to rush back, walked for most of the night, when people were sleepy and tired, and was ambushed. He didn't understand how many enemies there were; It takes at least one regiment to capture Phoenix Mountain, and judging by the gunfire in front, there is also at least one regiment, plus the troops besieging Xiushui? Xie Hongxun shook his head and felt that something was wrong, if the enemy had a division, then he should ambush himself, not just attack the baggage troops.

"Master, hurry up and send troops to rescue, otherwise the baggage team will be finished." Chief of Staff Xie Hongxun didn't say a word, just looked behind him in a daze.

"Give the order to go down, give up the baggage team, and return to the city immediately, quickly." Xie Hongxun said resolutely.

The chief of staff was stunned, he looked at Xie Hongxun and then at the soldiers around him, as if he understood something.

Victory is the best stimulant for soldiers, and at the end of the battle, it was already dawn, and a regiment of soldiers happily cleaned up the battlefield; The victory also made Zhuang Jihua's prestige unprecedentedly high.

"How did you say that the deputy division commander knew that the enemy was coming?" Soldier A asks Soldier B.

"What kind of person is the deputy division commander, he has been instructed by a master, and he can pinch and calculate, but he is an old man, and he is sure that Xie Hongxun will go from this road, so he brought us here." Soldier B said to Soldier A.

…….

The loot was abundant, and what surprised Zhuang Jihua the most was that Xie Hongxun actually put the artillery in the baggage team, and he thought that the artillery was moving slowly, but the result was naturally that the entire artillery was captured, and six cannons, four mortars, two mountain guns, and four machine guns, more than 300 guns, and countless other bullets, shells, and grenades.

"Without these cannons, I'm afraid Xie Hongxun will never go to Tonggu again." Zhuang Jihua smiled and said to Xiong Shouyun, who returned to the regiment headquarters: "By the way, find out the artillery, not a single one is allowed to go, and we must mobilize them to join our troops." The latter sentence was said to the regimental staff officer on the side.

"Don't weep and mourn, win, smile, smile, don't let the brethren think that you don't like to win." Zhuang Jihua saw that Xiong Shouyun's face was not very good-looking, so he deliberately teased him.

Xiong Shouyun looked at Zhuang Jihua and sighed: "I still don't understand, Cultural Revolution, how did you know that Xie Hongxun would take this road." ”

"There's a lot of stuff here, I'll explain it to you when I have time, now hurry up and clean up the battlefield, and the troops will be transferred." Zhuang Jihua said.

"What's the hurry, Xie Hongxun didn't come last night, will he come now?" Xiong Shouyun looked indifferent, last night he waited on the hill for Xie Hongxun to return to the army to rescue, but there was no left waiting, no right waiting, and sending someone to investigate only to find that Xie Hongxun had fled.
