"Report!"

"Come in."

An Yi in the front-line command post answered without looking up.

Gu Changfeng walked into the half-blown Zhan family ancestral hall with a spring breeze, sat down at the long table spliced by the three Eight Immortal Tables, picked up the cigarette on the table and lit one, and smiled at An Yi, who was looking down and drawing:

"Boss, at six o'clock in the evening, my brothers captured four enemy scouts again, killed eight, and captured twelve horses, none of this scout team escaped the net, several prisoners have been handed over to Ding Zhicheng and they are interrogated separately, it is estimated that there will be a report in a while."

An Yi threw down the pen and glanced at the watch on his wrist, and raised his head happily: "Good job, tiger head, from yesterday to now, your guard company has killed and captured forty-three enemy scouts, the captured guns are all high-quality flower machine guns and shell guns, and the more than thirty war horses brought back are all good horses, and the information obtained from the interrogation is even more valuable, it seems that I have to reward you well." ”

"It doesn't matter if you win the prize or not, just leave us the captured horses and weapons." After Gu Lao Er finished speaking, he looked forward to An Yi's face. An Yi smiled and waved his hand, except for asking him to pick out two good horses and give them to Li Yannian, the fifth regiment leader, all agreed to his request.

It didn't take long for more than a dozen battalion-level commanders, including Yin Jinan, Hu Zi, Yang Bin, Ye Cheng, Qu Muchen and Ding Zhicheng, to arrive one after another.

"Sit down, sit closer and talk...... Lao Yang, the Situ Wei Mixed Brigade of the Zhejiang Army opposite the position of Dogtou Mountain on the north bank of your north bank quietly drove a new artillery regiment last night, equipped with twelve new French mountain guns, the model is Schneider 1923 75mm mountain guns, this is a good thing! Each cannon is worth 48,000 pieces of the ocean, the range of the grenade is as high as 9.6 kilometers at 40 degrees, the total weight of the ranks is only more than 670 kilograms, and two horses can pull it, plus seven pack horses is a complete unit. According to the prisoners' confessions, their artillery array was built at the entrance of Sanzaotang Village, one and a half kilometers behind Shiyuan Town, and it has been confirmed, and we have to find a way to get these twelve cannons. ”

Yang Bin looked left and right: "Is this so?" …… You don't want to tell me that you want to clean up the Situ Wei mixed brigade on the other side, do you? ”

The brothers were all interested for a while, and An Yi said with a smile: "Everyone, if we send Ding Zhicheng's detachment brothers to sneak into Situ Wei's headquarters, hold Situ Wei and several of his deputies hostage, and at the same time let Chen Zhibiao's third battalion cooperate with the fifth regiment to bluff and make a large-scale attack, and then let the guard company of Hutou and the mountain company of Xia Jian's first battalion, a total of 380 elite soldiers, make a detour to Lantang, Bailugang, and Xiapingshan in the north, and forcibly break through from the flank of Situ Wei's brigade to block the waist and attack, you lead the third battalion to cooperate closely with Senior Brother Li Yannian's fifth regiment, When the battle begins, it immediately turns into a fierce attack, what will happen to the enemy when the dragons are leaderless and lose their command? ”

"It's difficult!"

Ye Cheng stood up and pointed to the map, and his finger slid from Youbu Town, where the enemy headquarters was located, to Shiyuan Town, Situ Wei's forward position: "This distance is only six and a half kilometers, once the battle starts, the Zhou Qian Division stationed in Youbu Town will send troops to help, if we send a cavalry battalion, it will be there in a blink of an eye, even if we succeed in a sneak attack, it is impossible to end the battle within an hour, if we are not entangled by the enemy, the two companies of Hutou and Xia Jian will be attacked by the enemy, and our third battalion and fifth regiment will have to immediately withdraw from the battle and return to hold on, It's adventurous. ”

The brothers carefully examined the map, and after a nervous discussion, they all agreed with Ye Cheng's analysis.

An Yi lit a cigarette and asked again, "Old Ye, what if you were given two hours to fight?" ”

Ye Cheng was stunned: "It's different in two hours, even if you don't succeed, you can calmly retreat to consolidate the defensive line, but I have to know when you start, if it's daytime, it is estimated that the enemy can organize after a short period of chaos, then it will be difficult to fight, it doesn't matter if the brothers in the third battalion are veterans, most of the brothers in the fifth regiment are new soldiers, and when they encounter setbacks or the enemy sees our limited strength, they will immediately make a counter-charge, and they will not be so frightened that they will turn around and flee?" ”

"Haha! Lao Ye was really careful, and he took everything into account. Gu Changfeng said with a smile.

An Yi nodded: "According to the reconnaissance at night in the past few days, it was found that this period of time is the fog season, because the sun is big during the day and frost at night, the temperature is about minus five degrees, the road is dry and easy to go, but the temperature difference is very large, the soldiers are inconvenient, and the radius of dozens of miles is low hills and mountain ponds and streams, and there will be fog at about two o'clock in the second half of the night, and the fog is thick at dawn, and it is impossible to see things from ten meters away, so this kind of weather is most suitable for special operations."

Secondly, at the foot of the southwest foot of Meiping Mountain between Shiyuan Town and Youbu Town, where Situ Wei was stationed, there is a small river more than 20 meters long with steep embankments on both sides, and the three-arch small stone bridge on the river is about 30 meters long and about 4.5 meters wide, and Situ Wei's command post is located in Xiwang Village, about 300 meters west of the small stone bridge, and Lao Ding has a detailed distribution map.

As long as we blow up this small stone bridge, at least the enemy army in Youbu Town will not be able to pass through for a month and a half to two hours, and we can only watch from the other side of the river to beat up Situ Wei's headquarters in Shiyuan Town.

Third, if we don't hurry up and fight this battle, there will be no chance, according to the report sent by Lao Ding just now, the reinforcements sent by Meng Zhaoyue from Tonglu City will arrive in Youbu at noon tomorrow, and most of them will cooperate with the weaker Situ Wei Department to defend together.

In the afternoon, I had already greeted Senior Brother Li Yannian in advance, and he also wanted to fight a battle to boost morale, and told me that as long as he said that the commander gave the order, he would go all out to fight side by side with us, and the planned attack time was set at 5:50 a.m. tomorrow. ”

The spirits of the brothers were greatly lifted, and Hu Zi and Yin Jinan discussed for a moment and asked in a low voice, "What about the position on the south bank?" If our southern battlefield can also bluff, Lao Yang and the others will be much easier to fight, at least let the officers and men of the Situ Wei Department on the north bank feel that we have launched an all-out attack, and in panic and the loss of command, they will definitely be in chaos without a fight, and they will collapse at the first touch. ”

"Good strategy! Huzi, you and Jinan are in charge of the command of the southern line, and after a while, you will go to the west of the city to buy all the firecrackers in a few shops for the New Year, and then go to the grocery store and the tin workshop in the south of the city to find dozens of tin buckets, just send a company of brothers, bring tin pails and firecrackers and quietly go out to the enemy position for about a kilometer, scatter a few light machine guns, and erect tin pails to set up firecrackers while shooting, the sound sounds very much like the fierce shooting of machine gun positions, plus the sound of artillery fire and engagement on the north bank, The enemy on the south bank will easily come to the judgment of the large number of soldiers pressing the border, and if you let the model battalion or the second battalion machine gun company carry a few mortars and bombard them into the enemy's position, it is estimated that you can scare Yang Shijun's brigade and the two regiments of Zhou Qian half to death, and you only need to toss for half an hour to ensure that they will hurriedly return fire and destroy half of the stockpile of bullets. An Yile commanded.

The brothers clapped their palms and laughed and praised the clever plan, An Yi systematically explained to the map and assigned tasks, and then with a wave of his hand, he drove the eager brothers back to prepare, and asked Ding Zhicheng and Shen Fengdao outside the door to follow him and rode to the division headquarters of Anren Town, which was 14 kilometers behind.

Liu Zhi and Xu Tingyao were analyzing the battle situation in detail under the horse lamp, and the two of them only saw Bai Chongxi's true intentions one after another this afternoon, and they were nervous and didn't care about eating, so they struggled to find a way to survive, and calculated all kinds of countermeasures just in case, otherwise they would really be broken by a strong enemy without rescue, not only would the second division, which had just been replenished, be wiped out again, but at that time, I am afraid that in addition to their own black yarn hat, maybe even their surnames will be put together.

Hearing the urgent report of his subordinates, An Yi, the head of the Reading Force Regiment, who had an urgent military intelligence report, Xu Tingyao, Staff Officer Chen, Ying Rongguang and others who were buried in discussions around the long table looked at each other, knowing that An Yi's arrival at this time must be a change in the front, and they all straightened up and looked at Liu Zhi.

Liu Zhi was in good spirits and ordered loudly: "Hurry up and invite Head An to come in!" ”

"Yes!"

An Yi entered the room and saluted: "Divisional seat, chief of staff, there is a once-in-a-lifetime fighter plane in front of me, and after discussing with the commanders at all levels of our regiment, we unanimously believe that we should seize the opportunity to take the initiative to attack and severely damage the enemy, so that the strong enemy facing our division has concerns and does not dare to act rashly, so as to win time for the general offensive of all units of our army and win opportunities for the survival of our troops." This combat plan has been supported by the commander of the Fifth Regiment, Li Yannian. ”

"Let's talk about what kind of good opportunity you have to come late at night." Liu Zhi was overjoyed in his heart, but there was a calm look on his face, but the expectant expressions of the others had already made An Yi fully visible.

An Yi was no longer polite, walked to the map and laid out his entire combat plan, and said it very concisely, and the actions of the assault detachments of each department were calculated to the accuracy of within five minutes, and the generals were greatly lifted and overjoyed to hear it.

An Yi finally said: "Measuring the whole plan, even if it fails, it will not affect the current defensive posture of our divisions, the biggest loss is the loss of two companies of officers and soldiers of our reading regiment, but it will definitely disrupt the enemy's deployment, at least for us to buy about two days, two days later, our columns have launched a general attack, unless the strong enemy in front of us has the determination to attack us, otherwise there is only a way to retreat quickly." In this way, our division was not only able to avoid a worrying decisive battle, but on the contrary, it made a meritorious contribution to this unexpected attack, and at least won a valuable opportunity to preserve its own strength. ”

Xu Tingyao exclaimed loudly: "Good strategy! An Yi, we didn't misread you, Chief of Staff Xu, who had high hopes for you, didn't misread you! I completely agree with your plan of battle, and suggest that the division should transfer the first part of the sixth regiment of the reserve to the position on the north bank at midnight, just in case. ”

Liu Zhi tried his best to suppress his excitement, and slapped his big hand on An Yi's shoulder: "Good job!" I agreed, and gave you command of the former enemy in this battle. You will take my instructions later, and return immediately to make preparations for the battle, and then we will rush to the command post of your reading regiment. ”

"Yes!"

Five minutes later, An Yi, Ding Zhicheng and Shen Fengdao, who got Liu Zhi's instructions, rode horses and hurried back to the front line and arrived at the command post of the Zhan family ancestral hall.

An Yi put down the phone and called Shen Fengdao, and sincerely motioned for him to sit down: "Old Shen, I need your help in this battle." ”

Shen Fengdao nodded slightly: "Please say, you are the regiment commander, I am a second-class soldier under your command, and the regimental seat gives orders." ”

"Haha...... Lao Shen, you guy squeezed Lao Tzu, didn't you? Don't call it a group, what's worth it about a Kiba leader? It's also a group seat! Lao Tzu can't get used to this person, if he is a petty official, what kind of seat will he call, then the more than 100 platoon commanders under Lao Tzu, do you want to let their brothers call them 'row seats'? ”

An Yi laughed and scolded on the spot in annoyance, causing the surrounding staff officers and Ding Zhicheng to laugh out loud.

Shen Fengdao didn't expect An Yi to be so frank and upright, and the goal implied in his heart was so lofty, his eyes lit up, he instantly returned to normal, straightened up and said respectfully and solemnly: "Please give the order from the head of the regiment." ”

"Okay, you, Lao Ding, and Dou Fang will act in advance, and Chu Xianzhi's team will be responsible for blowing up the small stone bridge in Meiping Mountain and preventing the enemy from rushing to help, you will capture Situ Wei for me, and then lift his command headquarters!" Note: It's best to come back alive, be polite and don't hurt him, I heard that this guy is the second son of Mr. Situ Hao, the richest man in Xiaoshan, and it is estimated that we will have some help in the future. An Yi explained in a low voice.

"Yes."

Shen Fengdao smiled slightly, his face was very calm, it seemed that the heavy task given to him by An Yi was no different from asking him to buy a pack of cigarettes.

An Yi saw the joy in his eyes, smiled and told again: "Lao Shen, please remember that you and Lao Ding and their thirty-six brothers are a whole, and they must cooperate closely with each other and make up for each other. Believe it or not, I have to tell you that tonight's action is extremely important, and it is a matter of life and death for tens of thousands of people. In addition, in a sense, these 30 or so of you are the first special operations force in the history of the Chinese Squadron, and the pioneers of the special operations of the armies of our country and even other countries in the world. At present, all countries and militaries are not aware of the importance of special operations, and we are fortunate to be ahead of the curve, and all your performances are likely to have a profound impact on the changes in the way the army fights in the coming decades, so please be very cautious. ”

Shen Fengdao looked at An Yi in surprise, and Ding Zhicheng, who was familiar with An Yi's concept of building an army, nodded solemnly to Shen Fengdao and motioned for him to follow him back to prepare for action.

At 3:40 a.m., Ding Zhicheng's detachment, wearing an "An-style" special operations vest, started from Xiazhang Village in the north of Goutou Mountain, and quickly sneaked on mountain paths and water networks shrouded in dense fog and extremely low visibility, and used its super marching speed and excellent military qualities to complete the 16-kilometer complex road in only three and a half hours, and successfully sneaked to the north of Xiwang Village at the western foot of Meiping Mountain, quietly and silently lurking among the cold rocks and withered grass, and was only more than 500 meters away from the Chaijia compound in the village on the west side of the small stone bridge. The compound, which was requisitioned as Situ Wei's headquarters, was very conspicuous, separated from the special detachment only by more than a dozen low-rise houses and a three-way intersection.

It was silent, and the special detachment leader spent time lurking to observe the change of guard at the three-way intersection. At 5:10 a.m., a squad of sentries on duty came to the three-way intersection to change the guard, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers on duty who had been in the straw pavilion on the side of the road for four hours complained that their companions were late, and a crooked sound of chirping provoked a dog barking in the village, Ding Zhicheng, at the suggestion of Shen Fengdao, decisively took advantage of the opportunity of the dog barking to lead two groups to quietly approach the intersection guard post, and crawled in the rape field more than 30 meters away from the road to wait for the opportunity.

Half an hour passed, and most of the officers and men on duty at the three-way intersection got into the straw pile under the straw hut on the side of the road, covered their heads and slept with their heads covered, except for one officer leading two sentries to sit at the door of the straw hut and smoke and chat.

Ding Zhicheng and Shen Fengdao beside him glanced at each other, nodded in unison, Ding Zhicheng made a gesture back, and pulled out a chic dagger inch by inch.

Shen Fengdao's right hand gently swiped the belt around his waist, and three black steel needles as thin as sewing needles somehow sandwiched between his slender four fingers......
