The sky is clear, the sun is shining, and the temperature is clearly starting to rise. On the road to Tongluo Village, the 16th Regiment of the 43rd Brigade of the Jiangxi Army marched mightily. In order to capture Tongluo Village, the 16th Brigade of the Jiangxi Army moved to Fengyun Town on the second day after occupying Yunshui County, according to the order of the division commander Wang Jun. After staying in Fengyun Town for a day, the 43rd Regiment took the lead in setting off, the 42nd Regiment followed up with the response, and the 41st Regiment stayed in Fengyun Town to support the operation. At this moment, Geng Zhong, the commander of the 43rd Regiment, rode a tall horse and marched in the queue full of ambition.

"Regiment commander, our unit has learned the lesson of being ambushed, and a company of sharp soldiers is searching and advancing in front. In particular, fire reconnaissance was carried out on the dangerous terrain and careful search on both sides of the highway to prevent the red bandits from laying ambushes. The red bandits are nothing more than harassment and petty fights, as long as we approach his old hole, the red bandits will not be able to parry a fire. "The chief of staff seems to be confident." Geng Zhong said: "No matter how cunning Ouyang Jian is, it's nothing more than that. As long as we approach the causeway village, it will be a victory, and I will see how many other carving insect skills he has. Ordered the search unit to give me a careful search, and additionally notified the 42nd regiment to keep a distance from our department. ”

The entire energy of the Jiangxi army was focused on countering the sneak attack, and naturally there was no time to take care of other aspects. The journey was smooth sailing, and the Gan army was overly careful. The speed of travel is slow. Due to the slow speed of the march, after dark, the Gan army only walked half the distance. It was getting late, and Geng Zhong was afraid of being ambushed, so he ordered his troops to stop advancing. The 42nd Regiment of the Gan Army maintained a distance of 5 kilometers and stopped advancing. The Gan army set up a guard post and went to bed early after dinner. The head of the regiment, Geng Zhong, was in a good mood and drank some wine at dinner to relieve his nervousness.

About 5 kilometers away from the camp of the Gan army in front, in a dense forest, the horse lantern flickered dimly, and Luo Ronghuan, the leader of the second detachment, looked at the map under a tree, probably after watching for a long time, he took off his eyes and rubbed his eyes to relieve fatigue. "Detachment leader, you rest for a while, the Gan army will not act at night." "The first time I acted alone, I couldn't sleep in my heart!"

"Everyone's mood is the same, and many fighters are staring at each other without sleepiness."

"Report! The column leader is calling! A female telegraph operator came up with a telegram in her hand. Luo Ronghuan took the telegram and checked it, his eyes lit up, and he said, "4th Company Commander!" "Here!" A man of medium stature emerged from the darkness. "The column commander called, and the enemy could not be comforted. You even went out at once, and repeatedly harassed the enemy so that they could not stop for a moment. "Yes!" "Pass me the order for the 4th Company to assemble!" After a while, the 4th company was assembled. Luo Ronghuan simply mobilized for battle and ordered to set off, and soon devoured their figures in the dark night.

Around midnight, the regiment commander, Geng Zhong, was awakened by the sound of a violent explosion. "What's going on!" Geng Zhong got up and asked in surprise when he saw the sleepy-eyed appearance of the officers. "Probably a sneak attack by the red bandits, this is their usual trick, it is estimated that it is a small force." At this time, a subordinate came in and reported: "Report, the sentry on the right has been attacked, two sentries have been killed, and five sentries have been wounded. "Immediately send a search force to search." As soon as Geng Zhong's words fell, there was a dense burst of gunfire on the left, including the sound of light machine guns.

When the enemy sent out a search force, the harassing red bandits disappeared. The Gan army withdrew to the search force, and the enemy reappeared, and the attack was tossed until dawn before it stopped, Geng Zhong was so angry that he jumped like a thunderbolt, and immediately ordered to bury the pot and make rice and quickly kill the Tongluo Village. After breakfast, the enemy dragged their tired bodies on, and the nightmare began when they thought of it. The enemy's spearhead was advancing rapidly on the road, and suddenly the soles of his feet collapsed, followed by a violent explosion, followed by a second and a third sound. A company's spearhead troops were suddenly shrouded in gunsmoke.

On the mountain on the right, Luo Ronghuan felt the telescope check and said excitedly: "Zimu Lei is really powerful, let the enemy taste the iron watermelon first." As soon as Luo Ronghua's words fell, there were explosions on both sides of the road, and the sound of the explosion was dull and there were large clouds of black smoke. The stone thunder rang, the stone thunder rang! All the officers and men of the 4th Company who were watching the battle stood up and cheered. They had attacked the enemy last night, and they should have gone to sleep, but they couldn't help but cheer for the excitement of the scene.

"The enemy's top soldiers were bombed, and it was estimated that the enemy did not dare to take the main road, so the 5th and 6th companies were immediately notified, and the stone mines on both sides of the road were hung up." After the smoke of the explosion, the top soldiers of the Jiangxi army lay down on the ground, and most of them were killed but most of them were wounded. The wounded soldier crawled on the ground, and although he couldn't hear the movement, he could feel that they were **. The intact enemy soldier lay on the ground and did not dare to move, and it took a long time before he cautiously retreated, and his movements made people laugh and cry.

There was an explosion in the front, and the large force behind stopped advancing without knowing it. The explosions stopped and no gunshots were heard, "Report to the regimental commander, the red bandits have laid mines on the road ahead. "One of the subordinates rushed to report." The Red Bandits' tactics were too simple, and they ordered the troops to advance along both sides of the road. Geng Zhong led the Chinese army to the minefield, and the commander of the top soldier company hung a stick and cried with a sad face: "Regiment commander, if you can't advance, the stone will explode!" ", are you kid being blown up? How can a stone explode! ”

"Order your department to continue the search and advance, we must advance to Tongluo Village as soon as possible!" The Gan army continued to advance along both sides of the road, about a mile away, when suddenly a war horse stepped on a stone, and suddenly a violent explosion made the war horse run wildly, and the enemy's marching army was suddenly chaotic, and then caused a series of explosions. The soldiers scurried around in fright, triggering more stone mines and louder explosions. Geng Zhong was stunned when he saw the flying stones in the sky. "Commander, this is a stone mine made by the red bandits, and we have entered the minefield." "Retreat immediately!"

The Gan army withdrew to a safe area, and saw that there were not many of his subordinates killed in battle, but his nose and face were swollen, his face was full of blood, and he was limping. Geng Zhong was so angry that he was like thunder, but he didn't know where to go. "Commander, Ouyang Jian is indeed not an ordinary person, he is trying to hold us back, we must find a way to pass through the minefield and quickly reach Tongluo Village. As long as we reach Tongluo Village, there is nothing he can do. The Chief of Staff spoke. Geng Zhong's eyes rolled and said: "Immediately report to Zhang Kui, the commander of the 42nd Regiment, and come to study countermeasures quickly." In addition, to organize demining, I don't believe that Ouyang Jian planted all mines on the road. ”

About an hour later, Zhang Kui, the commander of the 42nd Regiment, led a team of men and horses to roar. Seeing the embarrassed appearance of Geng Zhong's subordinates, he couldn't help but gasp and said, "Brother Geng! I didn't expect Ouyang Jian to have a hand, it seems that it is really difficult to deal with, no wonder a regiment of the 15th Brigade can be annihilated in Yunshui County. Before coming, the brigade commander asked our department to fully cooperate with you, please Brother Geng, don't be polite! After the two discussed, the 42nd Regiment dispatched a search force to search within one kilometer along both sides of the continent, and Geng Zhong led the 43rd Regiment to continue to advance along the main road.

Not to mention that the Jiangxi army engineer company had two shots, they carefully cleared the mines, and the effect was good, and more than a dozen iron mines were dug out from under the soil by the enemy. Luo Ronghuan held up the binoculars and said: "The column commander has already predicted, the enemy is not a fool, and the loss of dozens of mines is inevitable. At this time, Mu Shixiong led six special combat team members back to report: "Detachment leader, a regiment of the Gan Army in the rear dispatched two battalions of search troops to search within a kilometer range on both sides of the road. Luo Ronghuan said decisively: "4th company commander!" "Here!" "You companies stay, use sparrow warfare to deal with the enemy, and the others retreat!"

The enemy cleared the road of mines and marked stones that were considered suspicious around them. Geng Zhong ordered his troops to move on, and sporadic gunfire rang out from time to time in the woods on both sides of the road, apparently the search force was chasing the red bandits. Soon a rocky hill appeared in front of him, and Geng Zhong ordered to stop advancing. Shi Lizi guarded the road and the terrain was dangerous, and Geng Zhong ordered a careful search. The search troops climbed up the stone and found no human figure, but they were dizzy when they saw every stone. After Geng Zhong got the results of the search, he ordered his troops to quickly pass through the stone stone.

In a forest facing Shilizi, on a tall tree, Mu Shixiong and Dabao held binoculars to look at the opposite side, and four team members stood guard under the tree. It's about 400 meters from the rocks, what are they doing here? It turned out that explosives were planted on the stones, and their task was to detonate them from a distance. "Dabao, it depends on your level, the enemy search force is nearby." "Don't worry, master, I'm sure of this distance." After Dabao finished speaking, he locked the crosshair to the target.

It turned out that the target on the opposite side was a one-meter-square stone crack depression above the stone lazi, and there were fireworks in it. His aim was to use bullets to ignite fireworks, which in turn ignited the fuse to cause an explosion. Seeing that a large army of the enemy army had entered Shiqizi, Mu Shixiong ordered to shoot in a low voice. A "pop" gunshot, and I saw a puff of smoke rising from the stone. "The fuse is lit and retreats!" Mu Shixiong and Dabao quickly climbed down the tree, and the enemy's search force was nearby, and they would soon pounce when they heard the gunshots.

Mu Shixiong and Dabao didn't run a few steps before a violent explosion came from the direction of the stone stone, and the flying stones were like heavenly maidens scattering flowers. Mu Shixiong and Dabao didn't have time to take a closer look, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the woods. After the gunshot, smoke appeared above Shi Lizi, and at this time, Geng Zhong's Chinese army approached Shi Lizi. Everyone was in shock, and a violent explosion suddenly sounded, and the sky was suddenly obscured. Flying stones fell from the sky, and the frightened soldiers fled in all directions, and the ranks were in disarray.

A fist-sized stone smashed on Geng Zhong's head, and Geng Zhong's eyes were dizzy, and blood flowed down his forehead. When the smoke of the explosion cleared, the scene was unbearable. Geng Zhong was wounded, and the Gan army stopped advancing.

At the headquarters of the 16th Brigade in Fengyun Town, Brigade Commander Fang Hua was shocked when he heard that Geng Zhong was injured. After understanding the situation, Fanghua ordered the 42nd Regiment and the 43rd Regiment to join forces and continue to advance towards Tongluo Village. It was still 5 miles away from Tongluo Village, and the terrified and exhausted Gan army had to camp on the spot, knowing that the enemy would continue to attack after dark.

Next to the bonfire, Geng Zhong had bandages on his head and closed his eyes to recuperate. Zhang Kui, the commander of the 42nd regiment, walked to the side and sat down and said, "Brother Geng, don't be depressed, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and this setback is nothing." I see that Ouyang Jian has exhausted his donkey skills, tomorrow we will quickly kill the Causeway Village, Ouyang Jian will not be able to use countless tricks, as long as we win the Causeway Village, it will be a victory! Seeing that Geng Zhong was still with his eyes closed, Zhang Kui continued: "Brother Geng, I know that you have suffered heavy losses, and I will be the main attack tomorrow!" Geng Zhong immediately opened his eyes when he heard this.
