Mei Chuan was sleeping in the tent dreaming of his cherry blossoms, and the sudden gunfire woke him up, Mei Chuan sat up suddenly, his heart was ecstatic, haha, listening to this gunshot, he kept shooting, sure, the New Fourth Army was ambushed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Umegawa quickly got dressed, got up and shouted outside: "Koji, Koji, gather the team and prepare to attack!" ”

Koji, who was on patrol, heard Nakasa's loud shout and hurriedly ran to Nakasa's tent. As soon as I arrived at the door of the tent, I was met by the excited Umegawa Nakasa.

"Hao Erjun, listen, listen to the gunshot, on time the New Fourth Army was ambushed by the imperial army, oops, it's time, it's time to attack Luoxi, hurry up, give orders, shelling, shelling to open the way!" Umegawa ordered Koji while arranging the uniform.

"Hey!" Koji agreed loudly and ran to give the order to the small steel cannon team.

Hearing the gunfire on the side of Mantou Mountain, Xiao Ye in the tent also woke up, pricked up his ears and listened, wondering if there was an ambush in the New Fourth Army. But the careful little ambition vaguely felt that something was wrong, why did the heavy machine gun go off and stop? It is said that even if it is a point shot, it will not stop for a few minutes, and the other Imperial Army warriors are still shooting.

Ono thought about it while putting on his military uniform, stepped on his waist knife, walked out of the tent, and raised his binoculars to look into the distance, but after all, it was night, and although there was moonlight, he still couldn't see it clearly. Ono observed and thought, how many people came from the New Fourth Army, why was the battle fierce in Mantou Mountain, and the fierce battle in Laohugou. Ono was about to order the communications corps to quickly find out the situation, but he heard gunshots ringing out on the mountainside of Azalea Ridge. At this time, a herald could not run and reported to Ono that the brigade headquarters and the third squadron that were lying in ambush at Azalea Ridge had been attacked.

Ono was suddenly a little confused, his two squadrons over there were fighting fiercely, and there were still troops from the New Fourth Army attacking my brigade headquarters? The New Fourth Army has always concentrated superior forces in generals, so how can it disperse its own forces at this time?

Ono couldn't care so much, so he had to rush over to the halfway point of the mountain with dozens of warriors around him, wanting to see what was going on.

Also unclear about the situation is the village of Kannon Rock. After being awakened by the sound of gunfire, the village found a high place, raised the binoculars and observed carefully, but saw that the battle between Mantou Mountain and Laohugou was extremely fierce, not only that, but even Ono's brigade headquarters Dujuan Ridge also heard gunshots, but in the place where their warriors were ambushed, there was no trace of the New Fourth Army. Even the No. 1 Squadron of Maozhuwan, which was at the forefront, did not make any movement. At first, Murashita was still a little jealous of Ono's luck, and the three squadrons were in the right place. But then Murashita began to find the problem. The clever Murashita hurriedly sent a telegram to General Matsui, reporting his doubts.

Just when the village was worried, the head of the new regiment, Lu, who had been waiting for a long time in Shuangshi Mountain, was also holding a telescope to observe. Although several squadrons under the village did not move closer to Laohugou, for the sake of safety, Regiment Commander Lu ordered the reconnaissance platoon to extend five miles to conduct reconnaissance.

Matsui received a telegram from Murakashita, and after reading it, Matsui put down the Art of War in his hand and paced back and forth at his desk. At this time, Ono's telegram also arrived, and the situation said on the telegram was roughly the same as what Murakita said. Matsui thought to himself, they all said that the New Fourth Army didn't play chess according to the chess score, and sure enough, in fact, it wasn't, oh, the three attacked together, it's really the so-called siege of Wei to save Zhao, it seems that the three attacks together are fake, and the other group of people took the opportunity to rescue Luoxi is true, hehe, Li Sang, Li Sang, I siege Luoxi is fake, and the reinforcement is real...... Thinking like this, Matsui couldn't help but show a smug look on his face, but this trace of pride was quickly hidden deep by Matsui.

Matsui sent a call back and told Ono to continue the ambush on the spot, focusing on destroying the enemy's living forces. Ordered the village to stand by on the spot, waiting for an opportunity to find and destroy the New Fourth Army that came from another way to rescue Luoxi. After giving the order, Matsui picked up the porcelain tea bowl on the table, took a sip, sat down on the chair again, and continued to look at "The Art of War" in style.

As soon as the commander of the special battalion Gu and the third brother came into contact with Du Junling's devils, Ono's third squadron found that there did not seem to be many people on his side, and the firepower was not fierce, so they began to tentatively attack the New Fourth Army under the mountainside.

Seeing this battle, the third brother hurriedly suggested to Camp Commander Gu: "Camp Commander Gu, we can't be stuck by devils, or it won't be easy to get out after a while." ”

"Well, what the third brother said is true, in this way, let's divide the special battalion into three teams, the first company follows me, block here first, the second company is led by the second company commander Mengzi, withdraw to a hundred meters behind me, establish a defensive front, the third company commander and you, go to a hundred meters behind the second company commander and then establish a defensive front, let's retreat every fifteen minutes, cover each other, not let the devil get too close, but also ensure that the back is not attacked when retreating, what do you think?" Battalion Commander Gu said.

"Okay, I think." The third brother replied dryly.

The commander of the Gu battalion immediately arranged the task, and the commander of the Mengzi Company withdrew with the second company first. About ten minutes later, the commander of the third company and the third brother also withdrew with the third company. Battalion Commander Gu led a company to continue to fight against the devils who wanted to get closer.

Ono reported the situation of the New Fourth Army in Dujuan Ridge to Loose through a telegram, and Matsui read the telegram and continued to read his "The Art of War". The village received Matsui's order, and his heart was a little more relaxed, but listening to the gunfire on Mantou Mountain and Laohugou getting thinner and thinner, he couldn't help but feel a new uneasiness in his heart.

It was also at this time that the sound of artillery bombardment came from the direction of Luoxi, and when the village heard it, he knew that it was the sound of a small steel cannon, and if nothing else, it was Meichuan who was preparing to attack Luoxi.

Just when Mei Chuan set his two squadrons out one after the other, just waiting for the artillery bombardment to end before launching an attack, in fact, Mei Chuan never expected that the Third Regiment of the Fifth Division of the New Fourth Army, which had been lying in ambush south of the Xiaoling River, had already started its operation as planned.

The head of the third regiment, Ji Commander, ordered the regiment to quickly approach Xingqiao under the guidance of grassroots and Zheng Hai. In fact, Mei Chuan is not stupid, although he is ready to attack Luo Xi with all his strength, he has not forgotten to place a squad behind him, and he uses a squad to hold Xingqiao with a crooked handle to prevent someone from sneaking up from behind.

Cao Gen'er and Zheng Hai each brought a few fighters, quietly touched under the apricot bridge, and under the cover of the apricot bridge, they quietly approached the north of the apricot bridge from the water downstream of the bridge. The Xiaoling River is not wide, and the apricot bridge is built on the relatively narrow surface of the Xiaoling River. A group of people led by grassroots and Zheng Hai, from the east and west sides of the apricot bridge, it took less than five minutes to swim under the north end of the apricot bridge, and the two groups of people under the leadership of the grassroots and Zheng Hai lurked under the shore, under the cover of the bushes, just waiting for the battle on Meichuan's side to start, they quickly attacked, took the apricot bridge, and let the three regiments quickly pass through the Xiaoling River and go straight to the back road of Meichuan.
