Ding Zhicheng and Shen Fengdao clinged to the frosty ridge in the field, slowly squirming under the roadbed, Ding Zhicheng stretched out two fingers and shook them to the left, Shen Fengdao nodded slightly, the two quietly and silently walked around the front from behind the grass shed, both jumped out of a step, and waved their big hands like lightning, three pitch-black steel needles and a dagger instantly sank into the temples of the three defenders outside the grass shed, and the three officers and soldiers who were chatting together didn't have time to snort, and immediately stiffened and twitched, and were supported by Shen Fengdao and Ding Zhicheng, who had both arrived, before falling, A little bit carefully put on the ground.

Ding Zhicheng pulled out the dagger that had infested the sentinel's temple for a few inches, and slid into the grass shed like a ghost, and there was a sound of grinding between the human body and the straw, followed by a thick bloody breath, Shen Fengdao, who had pulled out the steel needle, slowly stood up, and praised Ding Zhicheng, who killed eight people in a row without making a muffled snort in the blink of an eye.

Ding Zhicheng smiled slightly, made a few gestures to the field, and more than 30 brothers lurking inside rushed out, boarded the road, and immediately divided into four groups to carry out their tasks.

The most difficult task was handed over to Shen Fengdao, and the vicious dogs in the tall walls of the Chai family's compound made Ding Zhicheng quite jealous, not to mention that there were two guards at the gate and backyard of the compound to deal with.

Seeing that the two groups of sixteen brothers had successfully arrived at the front and rear courtyard gates, Shen Fengdao nodded to Ding Zhicheng behind the big tree, took the three-meter hemp rope he handed over, and suddenly moved forward, kicking his feet twice on the vertical courtyard wall like stepping on stairs, and was already standing on the courtyard wall in a blink of an eye.

Ding Zhicheng was full of admiration, grabbed the rope head hanging by Shen Fengdao with one hand and jumped lightly, and with the pull of Shen Fengdao, he quickly climbed the courtyard wall more than three meters high.

The two squatted on the wall covered by the wide canopy, Ding Zhicheng compared the main hall of the two-story attic in the middle courtyard, Shen Fengdao comprehended that he would jump down gently, a few ups and downs swept under the eaves of the main hall, and after a slight pause, he jumped out like lightning, and gently hit the guard who was smoking on the doorpost with a palm, and the guard on the other side of the main gate suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the dull hitting sound, only to feel that his eyes were black and he was no longer conscious, Shen Fengdao held the soft sentry with both hands and put it on the ground, one foot was still hooked on the neck of the other sentinel who was already out of breath, Just in case he suddenly falls and makes a noise.

Ding Zhicheng, who was on the cover mission, came at this time, and admired Shen Fengdao's unfathomable martial arts, and finally knew why Gu Laoer, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, was so respectful to Shen Fengdao, Ding Zhicheng even felt that if Shen Fengdao helped, there would be no problem for the two of them to enter the palace to steal treasures in ancient times.

In the empty main hall, there was a light like a bean, and an orderly who was not cloaked was lying on the table and sleeping, and the brazier beside him was still full of charcoal, apparently having just fallen asleep.

Ding Zhicheng quietly approached, stunned him with a palm, and immediately ran to the backyard to open the door to the brothers lurking outside, while Shen Fengdao generously entered the east wing.

A few minutes later, Ding Zhicheng solved the guards in the backyard and led the brothers into the main hall, where he saw Shen Fengdao take out a Weiwuzi who was about thirty-two or thirteen years old and wearing a long-plush nightgown from the east wing, and brought him to the big table on the east side of the main hall like a chicken, and gently put him into the Taishi chair. To the surprise of Ding Zhicheng and the brothers, the man sat on the Taishi's chair and looked at everyone in a panic, but he did not shout, nor did he resist.

Ding Zhicheng looked at his watch and nodded to Shen Fengdao: "All the guards in the courtyard have been resolved, and the second group of brothers has gone to clean up the sentries outside the courtyard gate." The time is almost up, as soon as the explosion of the stone bridge in the east sounds, Hutou and Lao Wu will attack, and the main force in front of the position will also move, and we can withdraw. ”

Shen Fengdao said in a low voice: "Brigade Commander Situ seems to be willing to cooperate with us, as soon as the battle starts, maybe it would be better for him to order his subordinates to lay down their weapons and stop resisting by phone, it is really too wronged to take Brigade Commander Situ to walk those winding mountain roads, if there is a good one, how can we explain to Old Man Situ Hao?" ”

Ding Zhicheng looked at Shen Fengdao, and then at Situ Wei, who was panicked and angry, and immediately became happy: "Okay, this is better, although each is its own master, but they are all brothers who have no grievances, if you really fight to the end, you will have to kill a lot of people, haha......"

"Boom-"

A crack explosion rang out, and the debris flying from 300 meters away actually crackled the glazed tiles on the top of the main hall, and the twelve brothers of Chu Xianzhi's group, who were in charge of the blasting task, rushed into the courtyard quickly, and the three groups of brothers who served as cover carried light machine guns and blocked the courtyard gate and the four high walls.

Immediately afterward, the earth-shattering sound of grenade explosions and shouts of killing was heard from the enemy's position at 1.3 kilometers to the west, and the sound of explosions rumbled from the position at 2.5 kilometers to the west, and the entire battle began on time after only eight hours of preparation.

At the north entrance of Dongfeng Mountain, deep in the Zhejiang army's position, 380 brothers led by Gu Changfeng and Xia Jian shouted in unison after two rounds of bomb throwing, rushed to the artillery position in the east, passed by every tent and every house first threw two grenades, and then rushed in and opened fire fiercely, more than 3,800 sleeping enemy soldiers were awakened by the huge explosions and gunfire, many people were blown up by grenades before they could pick up their weapons, and the fog-shrouded position was full of grenade explosions. A rain of bullets roared, knocking the enemy troops to the ground as headless flies fled in all directions.

The assault team of 380 men almost encountered any resistance, and smoothly attacked the artillery position from the middle of the enemy position, and soon annihilated a company of defenders who had risen hastily and had not had time to organize a battle, and immediately occupied the machine-gun position in front of the formation, and launched a fierce strafing fire on the fleeing enemy troops.

In front of the position, a large number of defenders were frightened by the explosions and dense gunfire coming from behind them, and before they could wake up, they were bombarded by round after round of mortar shells, the shouts of killing were earth-shattering, the mountains echoed, it seemed that the figures of the revolutionary army were everywhere in front and back, the air was full of mortar shells and bullets like rain, the wails sounded sharply after the two rounds of bombardment, and the sound of fierce firefights was also heard on the south bank, and the horror of being cut off and being surrounded instantly led to the collapse of morale, The defenders on the entire front finally turned from sporadic fleeing to an uncontrollable overall rout.

The brothers of the 3rd Battalion led by Chen Zhibiao, supported by 24 mortar extended fire, rushed into the enemy's right flank position in one fell swoop, and immediately opened up the formation and launched a pursuit of the fleeing enemy.

Deeply encouraged, the brothers of the three battalions of the 5th Regiment occupied the abandoned positions one after another, and then shouted and rushed to catch up, and the defenders of the entire front were crushed at the first touch, and there was no stubborn resistance as expected, and the main forces were able to advance step by step in an orderly manner according to the established offensive line, calmly pressing the remnants of the enemy who were running wildly and wailing in a narrow space.

As the sky grew brighter and the fog slowly dissipated, the command headquarters of Situ Wei's Chai family compound was a different scene, one by one, the battalion commanders who rushed into the compound in horror to call the police or ask for help were captured one by one by the special combat team members who had been waiting for a long time, and they were all tied up and thrown into the main hall and thrown on the cold floor.

The phone on the desktop in front of Situ Wei rang non-stop, but Situ Wei, who was wearing a thin nightgown, was trembling all over at this time, sweating profusely, looking at his subordinates who were tied up and thrown to the ground in the hall one after another, and finally turned to Ding Zhicheng who was leisurely trimming his nails by the light of the horse lamp: "We surrender, please inform your troops to stop firing." ”

After Situ Wei finished speaking, he stretched out his trembling hand and grabbed the phone, and gave orders to his subordinates who were in a hurry one after another to stop resisting, lay down their arms and surrender.

Ding Zhicheng nodded with satisfaction, put away the dagger and whispered a few words to the subordinates beside him, who immediately rushed out of the gate, pulled out the flare gun, and shot three red signal flares into the foggy western sky.

Shen Fengdao brought Situ Wei a military uniform, belt, shoes, hat, and cloak, patiently waited for him to put them on, and accompanied him out of the gate like an old friend, while the seven battalion commanders on the ground were tied up in a string and escorted to follow.

More than 300 enemy artillerymen were forced by the guns of the revolutionary officers and men to quickly turn their guns and aim at the broken bridge at 3.8 kilometers.

After eight consecutive rounds of volleys, Yang Bin led the brothers of the engineer company of the third battalion to hurry to the horse, immediately pulled out a large fat and strong horse from the stable, and ordered the unarmed enemy artillery to pull all the artillery to the west.

On the south bank, in the command post of the reading regiment in the Zhan family ancestral hall in the north of Longyou City, Liu Zhi, Xu Tingyao and others sat on the main seat of the big table drinking fragrant tea, listening to the battle situation reports of An Yi and the communications staff officers.

Seeing An Yi's quick markings on the large map based on battle reports, Liu Zhi and Xu Tingyao felt a little unbelievable, but the constant explosions and shouts told them again that all this was true, especially the bold and comical tactics used by An Yi in the position on the south bank, which made Liu Zhi and Xu Tingyao laugh and frequently admire - until the sky was bright, the battle on the north bank had ended for more than ten minutes, and the enemy positions on the south bank were still shooting fiercely to the west, and launched artillery bombardment again and again, Dozens of firecrackers and waste tin barrels purchased by the ocean were set off for a long time, and sporadic fire from time to time accompanied by a few machine guns and a few mortars actually met with fierce resistance from two regiments of Yang Shijun's brigade and Zhou Qian's division, which fired continuously into the fog for an hour and 20 minutes.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the telephone rang again, An Yi picked up the phone and listened to Yang Bin's report on the results reported on the north shore position, and immediately ordered Yang Bin to set up artillery and send a reconnaissance team to expand the scope of surveillance and strictly prevent the enemy's retaliatory attack.

An Yi put down the phone and immediately reported loudly to Liu Zhi and Xu Tingyao, who were waiting for the battle report with bated breath:

"The results of the battle have been roughly counted, more than 830 enemy troops were annihilated in this battle, more than 2,600 enemy troops were captured, including 27 officers including Situ Wei, commander of the 3rd Mixed Brigade of the Zhejiang Army, 16 new-style 75 mountain guns, more than 2,400 shells, 215 light and heavy machine guns, and more than 3,220 long and short guns, and only more than 260 officers and men of the 5th Regiment and Reading Force Regiment of our army were killed, most of which were caused by the accidental misfire of the recruits.

At present, all the captured guns and artillery have been escorted by the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 6th Regiment and the teaching team of our regiment to Gaojia Town in the rear, which is only a river away from Anren Town, where the division headquarters is located. ”

"Well played! Advancing like a tiger retreating like a tide, thousands of recruits under your command actually fought so well, which is very unexpected! An Yi, I want to ask the commander-in-chief for you! Liu Zhi stood up excitedly and walked back and forth excitedly.

An Yi hurriedly suggested: "It's a fluke, haha!" The subordinates suggested that the division and the chief of staff should immediately return to the division headquarters and telegraph the good news to the principal, and at the same time report to the deputy general Bai, the principal is now under heavy pressure and anxious, and he very much needs a big victory to boost morale and enhance the prestige of the general headquarters of our revolutionary army. ”

Xu Tingyao nodded heavily: "It's very thoughtful, and it can't be delayed, let's rush back." An Yi, you have made outstanding achievements in this battle, and we will definitely report to the principal truthfully, and ask the principal to give you the reward or even promotion you deserve! ”

"No, no! Please listen to the subordinates and the chief of staff, now the most need for meritorious service and rewards is not the subordinates, but our entire second division, this battle, is indeed the victory of all units of our second division with concerted efforts, although the proposal was put forward collectively by the subordinate reading group, but the details of the entire plan are all after the division and the chief of staff deliberated and examined, with the strong support of the division and the chief of staff to achieve this great victory, therefore, this credit should be collective. If the division seat and the chief of staff really want to reward their subordinates, please allow their subordinates to select 1,000 people from the prisoners to supplement the combat effectiveness of our regiment, and the subordinates will be inexplicably grateful! An Yi made a sincere and generous request.

Liu Zhi and Xu Tingyao glanced at each other, nodded to each other under emotion, didn't say anything, and at the same time stepped forward to pat An Yi's shoulder and left.

The sound of horses' hooves gradually faded away, and Hu Zi and Yin Jinan, who had completed the task, also returned in a daze, An Yi didn't have time to say hello to the two, and immediately held down the telephone and shook violently to connect with Yang Bin on the north bank.

"Lao Yang, do we have any good things left?" An Yi asked anxiously.

"I left all sixteen cannons, but I don't know how long I can stay, this thing is eye-catching! Even the artillery regiment directly under the military headquarters has only six such guns, so I'll stay for now, and then I'll talk about it. In addition, after Lao Shen and Lao Ding handed over to Hutou and Xia Jian, they led the detachment of brothers back to the front again, not until they were going to do anything.

Hutou and Xia Jian led more than 300 brothers under their command, led more than 120 war horses, and quietly crossed the south bank by boat from the Tingtang Bridge ferry behind the position, and it was estimated that they would arrive at the regiment headquarters in an hour, and nothing else...... By the way, brother, I got two palm-sized Browning gilded pistols, they're so fucking beautiful, I have to keep them and take them back to my daughter-in-law, haha! ”

Yang Bin's voice revealed joy and excitement that could not be hidden.

An Yi was anxious now: "What's the matter?" Gu Lao Er and Xia Jian, who are said by the dog, why are they so stupid? What are you doing with some horses? Why didn't you copy Situ Wei's brigade headquarters? ”

"Xiao Yi, don't worry, just ask when you see them, Xia Jian, a wolf-like guy who has been following you for so long, doesn't he know what to do? Don't worry, haha! It's okay, I'm hanging, I have to go down the mountain to comfort the brothers in the third battalion. Yang Bin hung up the phone after speaking.

An Yi put down the phone and turned his anger into joy, rubbing his hands excitedly and muttering: "Lao Yang, this grandson, dares to joke with Lao Tzu, no!" Lao Tzu has to further establish his authority, otherwise if it continues to develop like this, your grandsons will not sell Lao Tzu! Haha......"

Hu Zi and Yin Jinan looked at each other, and then laughed in unison.
