The situation on the front line made Zhuang Jihua proud on the one hand, on the other hand, he was deeply worried, Wang Guobin has been attacking, he used two regiments of nearly 4,000 troops to beat An Enpu's two brigades of more than 13,000 people to retreat, but he was worried that Wang Guobin's strength would be exhausted, in addition to Wang Guobin, Zhang Lihui was also in danger, a regiment of 1,800 people was struggling to support under the enemy's two-sided attack, and this taut string could break at any time. But now Situ Fei's telegram has given him a glimmer of light, and Situ Fei's position can reach the battlefield in just one day.

"Order Situ Fei to immediately insert it into Nodaguchi and tell them, don't be afraid of fatigue, don't be afraid of falling behind, don't care about the follow-up troops, and rushing to Nodaguchi is victory!" Zhuang Jihua paused and said a little angrily: "Telegram to Lan Fubo (Huangpu Phase I, Lan Yundong, the word Fubo) Hu Guangxiang (the original Volunteer Army, nicknamed the sweeping tiger) to speed up!" ”

"Fubo they have done their best, they have a long way to go." Du Yuming persuaded, and then suggested: "Look, is it possible to transfer Chen Guangzao's troops?" ”

Zhuang Jihua hesitated for a moment and finally shook his head: "Forget it, this army is already unbearable, they go up and smash it, but it will affect other troops." ”

The news that the reinforcements were about to arrive greatly boosted the morale of Zhang Lihui and Wang Guobin, who were fighting on the front line, compared with Wang Guobin, Zhang Lihui's situation was more sinister, An Enpu gathered the last strength to attack him, and Long Yucang, the third brigade who attacked him from the south, was also forced by Sun Du and Long Yun to be ruthless, regardless of casualties, driving the soldiers to attack desperately, Zhang Lihui gritted his teeth and fought to the death, and held on to it, but he still couldn't stop An Enpu and Long Yucang's attack, and was forced to give up the two positions, and the whole regiment gathered near Noda Kou, blocking An Enpu's retreat.

After Situ Fei received the order, he felt a little difficult in his heart, most of the soldiers in the escort team were recruits who had been in the army for only half a year, although the morale of these young soldiers was high, but after all, they had not been soldiers for a long time, from Yibin to here, 5,000 people said that they were the vanguard, but in fact they were ambushed, and these 5,000 people were the 5,000 people who had not fallen behind, and they were the 5,000 people who could walk the most.

However, he also understood that if it weren't for the fact that the situation on Nodaguchi's side was really dangerous, Zhuang Jihua would never give such an order, so he put down the telegram and ordered him to set off, leading his troops to march towards Nodaguchi.

The troops hurried forward through the mountains, and the soldiers were panting and staggering to follow the footsteps ahead, "I... Walk... Don't move, squad leader. A young soldier was carrying a gun, and the figure in front of him turned around, grabbed his gun, and said hurriedly, "Keep up, don't fall behind." ”

Officers at all levels tried to encourage the soldiers, but there were still many soldiers who were left behind, and it was only after that the order to rest came from the front, and the soldiers did not choose a place at all, but sat on the ground with their butts.

"This can't be done," Chief of Staff Zeng Feipeng found Situ Fei: "If you rush to Nodakou like this, you can't go into battle." ”

"No matter what, rushing to Nodaguchi is a victory." Situ Fei's face was heavy, he didn't know the price of such a marching force, but there was no way.

"You take people away to the end and contain the stragglers," Situ Fei's tone changed: "Tomorrow, when it is dawn, you must rush to Nodakou." ”

Ten minutes later, Situ Fei gave the order to continue advancing, and the troops advanced again.

When the sunset burned, Zhang Lihui knew that he had survived another day, this day was really a difficult day, the escort team was all put into battle today, and in the end, the commanders of the escort team were all on the front line to supervise the battle, Zhang Lihui also picked up his gun and walked on the front line, he chose the most dangerous wild boar slope.

The Wild Boar Slope is the breakthrough chosen by Long Yucang, if the Wild Boar Slope is conquered and a mountain beam is overcome, it will join An Enpu's troops. Long Yucang launched eight attacks on the wild boar slope throughout the day, and the troops guarding the wild boar slope changed from one company to two and a half companies, and finally Zhang Lihui personally led the guard platoon to reinforce the position, and only then did he defeat the Dian army that rushed into the position.

An Enpu was angry, the distance between the two sides was only three or four miles, the gunfire on the opposite side was clearly audible, and the banner of the Dian army in the telescope was clearly visible, but no matter how he fought, the stubborn stone in the middle just couldn't move, he thought that Long Yucang didn't do his best, and then sent a telegram to Long Yun and Sun Du to scold Long Yucang for not saving him when he saw death.

Long Yucang couldn't help but cry out in the face of Long Yun's angry scolding, he lost more than 1,500 people in one day today, and the tragic casualties made the soldiers afraid of the attack, and the morale aroused by the ocean quickly stepped down. He had never seen such a stubborn enemy, even if there were only a few men left on the position, but they were still stubbornly resisting.

The sky gradually darkened, the attack of the Dian army was completely stopped, and the night was more favorable to the escort team, Zhang Lihui hurriedly used it to adjust the deployment, but he didn't know that sixty miles away from here, a long army was hurrying over.

It was already very late at night, Zhuang Jihua and Du Yuming were anxiously waiting for Situ Fei's news in the headquarters, Lan Yundong sent a telegram, because the road from Xichang to Ya'an was interrupted by the collapse, he was leading the troops to Xichang on foot, and he could only arrive tomorrow afternoon, and now all hope is on Situ Fei.

"Report, telegram." The staff officer came in to report.

"Situ Fei's? Has he arrived? Zhuang Jihua hurriedly rushed to the staff officer and asked.

"No, it's Song Yunfei's telegram."

Zhuang Jihua received the telegram with some disappointment, Song Yunfei said on the telegram that he had led his troops into the Huili war zone, and met Deng Xiuting who withdrew from Lixi in the south of Longyu Mountain, after retreating from Yunnan, Deng Xiuting did not withdraw to Huili, but retreated to Lixi's own territory, but did not expect the Dian army to let go of Lixi's intentions, and a whole brigade accompanied the Yi armed forces of the Jin family to his own house, Deng Xiuting ran while fighting, but the same escort team in his own house resolutely resisted, protecting the team and his own Yi people retreat, and finally all died, The team that fled into the mountains was caught up by the Jin family because of its slow movement, and all of them were captured.

After Deng Xiuting turned around in the mountains for a few days, the Jinjiahe Yunnan army began to retreat, Deng Xiuting also found a gap to break out of Lixi, retreated to the north, evaded the search of the Yunnan army along the way, walked day and night, and quietly touched Long's Elbow Mountain, but he didn't expect to meet Song Yunfei here.

Song Yunfei asked him to understand the situation, and Deng Xiuting told him that his Yi soldiers made up reconnaissance and found that the Dahua Bridge in the southwest of Huili was heavily guarded, and it was estimated that it was a high command of the Yunnan army, and suggested that Song Yunfei bypass the Dahua Bridge to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Deng Xiuting's words attracted Song Yunfei's attention, and he carefully inquired about the situation of Dahua Bridge, Deng Xiuting told him that he was not very clear, but his brother reported to him that all the people who came in and out here were on horseback, and there were frequent comings and goings, and there were standing guards in front of and behind the village, and there were many cavalry and horse patrols along the way, which was difficult to approach.

Song Yunfei secretly calculated in his heart, it was estimated that Deng Xiuting's judgment was good, this was at least a brigade-level headquarters, and he immediately sent a telegram to Zhuang Jihua, asking to attack Dahua Bridge first, and then go south to carry out the task of cutting off the transportation line of Sundu.

After Zhuang Jihua received the telegram, he called back to agree, and at the same time told him that he was relieved of the task of cutting off the transportation line, and that the actions of the special forces on the battlefield of Huili were determined by him, and it was suggested that he should stay on the line from Huili to Kyaukpyeongdu, and that communication with the command must be kept unimpeded so that the command could keep track of their whereabouts at any time.

Song Yunfei was overjoyed to receive the telegram, he had a feeling of being untied, in his opinion, his more than 200 special forces were too pediatric to cut off transportation, Zhuang Jihua didn't often say that special forces are sharp knives that stab the enemy's heart, and it is simply overkill to cut off transportation, they should be allowed to attack Sun Du's headquarters, or go to Kunming to attack Long Yun's provincial political axe.

Song Yunfei put down the telegram and began to do Deng Xiuting's work, he told Deng Xiuting that the battlefield of Huili had taken a turn for the better, An Enpu was surrounded by our army, and now Sun Du was desperately trying to relieve An Enpu, and the main force of our army was rushing to Huili at night, only to hold on for another three or two days, as soon as the main force arrived, Sun Du's entire army was destroyed; He hoped that Deng Xiuting would stay and work with him.

"Brother Deng, this is a book of great benefits, after the battle, not to mention anything else, the Yi people in northern Yunnan and the Daliang Mountain area, I'm afraid you will be in charge." Song Yunfei has now completely learned Zhuang Jihua's trick, and lures these practical people with practical interests.

Deng Xiuting listened and thought silently, of course he knew that at this time, the benefits after the victory were great, but he also measured Song Yunfei's strength in his heart.

He was very strange when he first saw this unit, this unit was so strangely equipped, from the soldiers to the officers, it was all automatic firearms, and it was also equipped with mortars, radio stations, and a few soldiers were holding very strange rifles, which he had never seen before. It seems that this army is definitely not simple, with this conclusion, Deng Xiuting immediately nodded in agreement.

So Song Yunfei and Deng Xiuting immediately joined forces and moved to the Dahuaqiao in the southwest of Huili overnight.

Deng Xiuting guessed correctly, Dahuaqiao does have a Dian army headquarters, but this is not a brigade-level headquarters, but Sun Du's general headquarters.

Song Yunfei and the others moved to a place ten miles outside the village at one o'clock in the morning, covered by the rain cloth, Song Yunfei and Deng Xiuting quietly discussed on the simple map with the faint light of the flashlight.

"...., I led the second detachment to touch in from the front, Zhao Hanjie led the third team to touch in from the end of the village, Guo Yaoshi led the first detachment to touch in from the flank, Brother Deng, your troops occupied the small hill at the west end of the village to block the enemy's reinforcements. Hua Yuanliang commanded the artillery and acted with me. The operation started at three o'clock in the morning, and the pharmacist, Han Jie, was on the lookout for the enemy's secret sentry as he entered. ”

In the dark, the team began to disperse, Song Yunfei led a detachment to quietly move to the entrance of the village, under the moonlight, the sentry at the entrance of the village was slowly shaking with a gun, Song Yunfei looked down at his watch, it was only 2:30, he waved his hand, the team members lay down, and there was still half an hour before the action began.

But at this moment, there was a stirring in the village, and soon several war horses rushed out of the village entrance and drove quickly into the deep night.
