Chapter VII Survey of the Battlefield

People make the best use of their talents, and a piece of grass also has its value. Yang Tianfeng has always believed in such a creed, and in his eyes, even traitors can play a role in warning the world.

…………

The news of the occupation of Huangkou Town will soon spread to the city, and the revenge of the devils and the puppet army is not far off. Yang Tianfeng handed over local affairs to Wu Yuansheng, so that he could concentrate on military affairs.

As soon as dawn dawned, he set out with a squadron to the southwest, where there were several unknown hills, which were the only way to the county seat, and which was also the place where he had preliminarily planned a major battle.

It was nearly noon when the troops finally came to the bottom of the mountain. It is the middle of the day, when the heat is unbearable, but the babbling brook makes people enjoy the quiet, fragrant and cool, the birds chirp in the forest, and the tinkling of the brook is the most beautiful and refreshing song. The soldiers rushed forward, drank the sweet spring with their hands, burrowed their heads into the water, and happily washed their sweat-soaked bodies.

Yang Tianfeng did not rest, under the guidance of the guide, he led a few people to start climbing the mountain, he must master the terrain here in order to get closer to the facts.

The west peak of Mangdang Mountain, the local people call it Zhang Fei Village, the two walled walls inside and outside the west peak, are all made of natural mountain shape, built with bluestone. The outer wall is one meter high, more than one meter wide, more than 250 meters long from north to south, and about 200 meters wide from east to west. On the west side of the outer wall, there is "Zhang Fei Drinking Horse Spring", which does not dry up all year round. The center of the village is a cliff stone carving, block letters, the handwriting is blurred, only the words such as "examination of political affairs" and "to December of the thirteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty" can be seen. The south of the gate of the cottage is flat, and it is Zhang Fei's military field, and there is a stone eye in it, and it is said that Zhang Fei used to insert the battle flag.

Listening to the guide's introduction, Yang Tianfeng stood on the top of the mountain and looked up. The mountains are still there, but the people are gone. The jungle is reckless, the mountains are undulating, and it seems that you can still hear the sound of drums and horns and the clash of ironclad weapons.

It's not in front of the beautiful scenery, it won't enter the artistic conception, and there is a feeling of relaxation and happiness; It's not that when you see the sunset and blood red, you won't have the feeling that life is short; It is not that in the face of the vast and boundless ocean, there will be no vast feelings; If it is not a galloping horse, there will be no unrestrained howl, and people's feelings often change in a variety of ways due to the environment.

Picturesque rivers and mountains, countless heroes, how can the great rivers and mountains be trampled on by the Japanese robbers? Sweeping strong enemies and being proud of the world, Fang is the true character of a man. Yang Tianfeng raised the telescope and looked around, observing the surrounding mountains and terrain, and sighed sincerely.

At the foot of the mountain is the necessary way to the county seat, from the narrow ditch into the mountain, the total length is about three kilometers, the ditch is 20 to 40 meters deep, and the width is 10 to 20 meters. On the left side of the ditch is the high ground, which is like a cliff; The right side of the groove is like a knife cut, and the upper edge is parallel to the bottom of the groove. At the exit of the ditch, the mountain is gentle on the left, and a large cypress forest on the right.

This three-kilometer section is very suitable for ambushes, the terrain is narrow and long, the ditch is deep and the road is narrow, and the terrain is very dangerous. The high ground on both sides is convenient for concealed deployment of troops, firepower and assault, while the troops entering cannot be deployed, defended or attacked, like rats burrowed into bellows.

Yang Tianfeng thought about it and shook his head slowly. Because this terrain seems to be prepared by God for ambush, the enemy must be cautious, and the success rate will not be too high.

The cypress forest is good, the forest is deep and dense, and it is not easy to be detected by hundreds of people hiding in it, and it is more suitable for snipers to hide in it to play a role. Such a large forest, hiding in circles, setting traps, laying mines, and shooting cold guns is enough to give the enemy a headache.

Looking at the terrain in the distance, Yang Tianfeng felt even more happy. Not far apart, there are three mountain beams, the south leads to a small circular valley, the middle leads to a stone mountain, and the north leads to nowhere else. According to his observations, if you reach the small valley from the top of the rocky mountain, you may have to walk around it, and you can't jump down directly.

"Have you walked over the mountain beam?" Yang Tianfeng handed the telescope to the guide and asked.

The guide carefully took the telescope, followed Yang Tianfeng's appearance and looked at it in front of him, he was startled, and almost threw the telescope to the ground, thanks to Yang Tianfeng still holding the strap of the telescope in his hand.

"Don't be afraid, the telescope, as the saying goes, can bring things in the distance closer and see more clearly." Yang Tianfeng said with Yan.

Oh, oh, the guide picked up the telescope again, looked carefully in the direction pointed by Yang Tianfeng, and said, "Tsk, you can see it really clearly." Is the chief talking about those mountain beams? I know that place. ”

"yes!" Yang Tianfeng said: "That small valley, can you go down directly from the stone mountain next to it?" ”

"No, no." The guide shook his head and said, "You can't go down from the mountain, you can only walk around." There is also an ancient temple there, it has been several years, and I don't know if the old monk is still there? ”

"Good." Yang Tianfeng smiled happily, took the binoculars, and said, "Let's rest first, and then go there after dinner." ”

An idea has emerged, but it still needs to be verified and supplemented on the spot, and Yang Tianfeng will not say it until it is confirmed. In fact, he has always had hidden worries in his heart, which may not be visible at the beginning, but the later he goes, as the army expands, the more obvious the shortcomings of the lack of military cadres will become.

Now, none of the military commanders under him have been trained by formal military academies, even Chen Dalong, they lack military literacy, and they only have loyalty to the Yang family and absolute obedience to him.

Yang Tianfeng was also helpless about this for the time being, and when he assigned the task, he deliberately said it clearly and in detail, for fear that these officers would not understand it and end up making a mistake. Now it is just a simple battle, and in the future, there will definitely be complex and large-scale ones, and at that time the rigid dogma will not work, and it will definitely be a test of the officers' military quality and ability to adapt to changes.

The creek is covered by green trees, and the tinkling of the creek is the most beautiful and heartfelt song. The sound of the stream was caused by a two-metre-high drop, and a stream splashed down the verdant trees, splashing down the cliffs.

The water was so clear and cool that the warriors drank from the stream, washed their bodies, and shivered with joy, forgetting that there were still women in the ranks.

Hu Keping didn't say anything, walked away silently, found a secluded and hidden place at the bend of the stream, moistened the towel, took off his coat, and simply wiped it off.

When she was about to join the sniper team, Yang Tianfeng once said that it was inconvenient for men and women to go together, and suggested that she go to the medical team. She had said very firmly that she wouldn't care, and now, naturally, she wouldn't beat herself up for such a trivial matter.
