Yu Er's battle plan surprised Cao Dahu, because he felt that this was not what the loyal and honest Yu Er could think of.

Cao Dahu was not sure if Yu Er's plan would succeed.

But for this little uncle, Cao Dahu has a trust that he can't explain.

A few days later, Yulian set off.

The Sichuan army stopped the assault on Hechuankou, and the troops retreated more than ten miles.

The smoke of the gunpowder filled with the mouth of Hechuan suddenly quieted down, and the former calm seemed to have returned.

Ma Youjun, commander of the 1st Brigade of the 12th Division of the Yunnan Army, was writing his desk.

Brigade Chief of Staff Officer Ping walked in.

"Luza, practicing calligraphy again?"

"Come on, come on, just take a look at my handwriting, I think the more I write lately, the more I feel."

"Well, the brigade commander's cursive writing is vigorous and lively, like a golden snake entering the grass, which already has a lot of artistic conception."

"Is there something wrong?"

"Hechuankou, the Sichuan army suddenly stopped attacking, what do you think of the brigade?"

"How can you look at this, it is inevitable that the Sichuan army will stop attacking. Hechuankou has been a natural hazard since ancient times. The Sichuan army is just a brigade, and we are also a brigade. They are attacking in turns, we are guarding in turns, what was the casualty ratio you said last time? ”

“8：1”

"That's right. Lao Tzu just waited for them to be disabled, and Lao Tzu gave an order to wrap up Cao Dahu's brigade. However, this kid is cunning and actually doesn't fight. If you don't fight, you will consume, and sometimes it's good to be patient. ”

"If we have the opportunity to take the initiative, brigade commander, do you say to fight or not?"

"What chance?"

"Yesterday, the defenders of Hechuankou captured two woodcutters."

"There is no need to talk about such trivial things, to get to the point."

Ma Youjun interrupted Guan Ping.

"But the article is on these two people."

"Who?"

"These two men are veterans of our 7th Independent Brigade and have fallen behind in Xiaoweikou. Pretending to be a woodcutter all the way, they crossed the mountains and mountains to come back to find the troops, and they brought back a secret. ”

"What's the secret?" Ma Youjun came to be interested.

"Between the Hechuan Pass and the No. 1 Highland, there is a little-known mountain road!"

"Can you bypass the Kagawaguchi?" Ma Youjun's hand trembled.

"Don't worry, you can't get around! But we can go around the back of Cao Dahu's buttocks, and it seems that we can poke this tiger's buttocks. ”

"Really? Let's talk about it. Ma Youjun's face showed excitement.

In the war room of the brigade headquarters, Guan Ping's hand pointed at the map.

"According to the spies we sent, the width of this mountain road allows a regiment of soldiers to pass quickly. It ends at the flank of Heights 1. If you send a surprise soldier to make a detour from the mountain road, the No. 1 Heights are within reach. ”

"Well, that's good."

"The best thing is that not far from the mountain road is Mumen Town, where Cao Dahu's ammunition depot and granary are located. If only I could burn it......"

"Has all this information been verified?"

"I went to three groups of people successively, and the situation reported when I came back was the same, so I can be sure that there is no problem with the intelligence."

"But if you give up the natural risk of Hechuankou and attack rashly, if the situation changes, I'm afraid you can't afford to bear it."

"I've also thought about this, as long as we don't be greedy for merit and work steadily, we will be invincible."

"Tell me about it."

"The reason why Cao Dahu dared to let go of his courage to fight us at Hechuankou was nothing more than relying on the fact that the No. 1 Heights had already been in his hands. If he is defeated in Hechuan, his rear road will be worry-free, because Heights 1 will become another Hechuan Pass, blocking our pursuit. ”

"Well, that's right."

"This principle also applies to us, as long as we occupy the No. 1 height, and the Hechuankou is in our hands, and if something goes wrong, we will withdraw. But for Cao Dahu, the No. 1 highland, the ammunition granary, he can't afford to lose, once lost, his army will be chaotic, for us, it's just a matter of how much fruit to pick. ”

Ma Youjun carefully pondered Guan Ping's battle plan, and he felt that it was indeed a plan worth trying.

"Brother Guanping, I really don't understand, what Gao Changfu thinks, if he listens to you more, he won't end up committing suicide."

"Alas!"

Guan Ping sighed.

The town of Mumen was lit with a roaring fire, and explosions rang out one after another.

At Hechuankou, the Dian army, which had long been assembled and ready for action, began to pour out of the pass and launched an attack on the position of the Sichuan army.

The speed of the Sichuan army's rout even exceeded Ma Youjun's imagination, and they were routed for dozens of miles.

The vanguard pursued the troops in return, and the troops successfully passed the No. 1 high ground, and the Dian army on the high ground waved the flag: "Welcome friendly troops to pass, I wish you an early victory." ”

The Sichuan army is constructing temporary positions in an attempt to regain its footing. A group asked whether to launch a new attack immediately, crush it in one go, and strive for greater results.

"Of course, we have to go all the way, and wait for a while without a fight. Order the third regiment and the fourth regiment to quickly move closer to the first regiment, and the third regiment will be transferred to intersperse behind enemy lines, and be sure to block Cao Dahu's retreat in Shili Town! ”

Ma Youjun rode his horse and whipped his horse, and he was full of spirit, and this battle will surely be famous in Bashu.

His headquarters advanced for dozens of miles.

Everything went so smoothly and as expected. Ma Youjun had a smug smile on his face all day long.

The only thing that made Ma Youjun a little strange was that gunshots were still heard from time to time in the direction of Mumen Town.

Guan Ping also felt very strange: "I have sent two groups of people to check, I don't know if it is because it is advancing too fast, or for some other reason, no one has come to report." ”

"Brigade seat, Senza, Namumen Town is behind the side of the No. 1 Heights, and the remnants of the Sichuan Army must want to fight to the death to recapture the Heights. They probably don't know yet that their main force has been crippled. A staff officer answered.

Guan Ping nodded: "It is also possible that contact is inconvenient in wartime." ”

"Reportedly, the forward pursuing force said that the enemy's brigade headquarters had been found."

"Really?"

"Where?"

Guan Ping and Ma Youjun jumped up almost at the same time.

"In Majiayu."

"Good! Cao Dahu, this time you will become a trapped beast. ”

"Order the three regiments, quickly surround Majiayu, and don't come back to see me if Cao Dahu runs away."

Majiayu is the name of a village.

The village is small and located in the middle of a vast mountain, and there are not many passages connecting the village to the outside world.

The village was full of torches.

The light of the fire seemed to ignite the night, so that the night had the light of day.

Cao Dahu and the operational staff officers repeatedly compared on the map.

"Brigade commander, the Dian army has caught up. Battalion Commander Zhao led people to the top. ”

"Hmm. Tell him not to take a step back until he has received my orders! ”

Cao Dahu raised his head and looked in the direction of Hechuankou.

Yulian has been gone for many days. Defeated all the way, the Sichuan army paid a lot of price.

"The price of this blood must be paid with blood! But how much to let the enemy repay depends on you, Uncle Xiao. ”

Cao Dahu said secretly in his heart.
