Section 40 Deception of the Enemy (3)
Wan Shouhe is as calm as his name, and he is meticulous in defense. Zhuang Jihua looked at it again and again, and suddenly muttered: "Strange, strange, really strange." ”
Song Yunfei looked at him in wonder: "What's the problem?" ”
Zhuang Jihua retracted into the bushes and looked up and said, "Thick and fine, this Xie Hongxun is a little interesting, let's go back." ”
Song Yunfei didn't understand, he stood there and didn't move, Zhuang Jihua walked a few steps and didn't hear any movement behind him, and looked back at Song Yunfei still standing there stupidly: "What are you doing in a daze, go, go back and talk about it." ”
Several figures quietly disappeared into the forest.
Back at the campsite, Song Yunfei was surrounded by several officers to inquire, but Zhuang Jihua took out a map and pondered it carefully.
"What are you waiting for?" Song Xiongfu muttered in Yu Chengwan's ear dissatisfied: "They are busy eating, rush over at this time, they will definitely be finished." ”
"That's it, aren't there just two regiments? Twin spearmen, one rush and collapse. Liu Jing echoed.
"Don't shout, the deputy division commander must have his considerations." Yu Chengwan didn't understand why Zhuang Jihua suddenly didn't move again.
Several people stopped for a while, and after a while, they saw Zhuang Jihua calling Xiong Shouyun over, and after the two muttered together for a while, they seemed a little embarrassed to see Xiong Shouyun's expression, but Zhuang Jihua was very firm, and finally Xiong Shouyun nodded.
"It's going to attack." Song Xiongfu, Yu Chengwan, and Liu Jing had this idea at the same time.
Then Zhuang Jihua called Song Yunfei and the captain of the reconnaissance team over, pointed to the map and explained the task to them, and then the two took the reconnaissance team and the reconnaissance team to carry out the mission.
At this time, the three of them were all puzzled, and at this time, the reconnaissance team was sent out, and after a while, Xiong Shouyun came over and gave an order: "The whole regiment will move to the old tomb mountain." ”
"What, don't fight?" Song Xiongfu asked anxiously.
"Less nonsense, carry out orders." Xiong Shouyun lowered his face and scolded, everyone is afraid when honest people are angry, Song Xiongfu didn't dare to say anything, Liu Jing made a grimace at him, and Song Xiongfu glared at him viciously.
"What are you still doing, hurry up." Xiong Shouyun's deep voice urged, and the three of them hurried back to the camp.
The regiment quietly withdrew from the tracking route, and after leaving the distance, an order was passed from the front: "Speed up", and the troops' movements became faster and faster, and after more than an hour, they arrived at the old tomb mountain thirty miles away.
"All rested. Be vigilant. ”
Zhuang Jihua himself looked at the road with a heavy heart, and the three battalion commanders ran to Xiong Shouyun to inquire about the news, Xiong Shouyun only told them that things might change, Zhuang Jihua suspected that there was fraud and had sent a reconnaissance team to confirm it.
Song Xiongfu and the three still don't understand, how can there be fraud? Where is the fraud? For a time, the atmosphere among the senior officers was solemn and tense.
After waiting for about half an hour, Song Yunfei finally came back, Zhuang Jihua hurriedly met Song Yunfei's sweating head, and asked repeatedly: "How is the situation?" Let's talk about it. ”
Song Yunfei wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve and nodded at Zhuang Jihua, and Zhuang Jihua was suddenly overjoyed.
"Let's underestimate Xie Hongxun," Zhuang Jihua called Xiong Shouyun and the three battalion commanders to his side to explain the order just now: "I estimate that because we have not launched an attack for a long time, Xie Hongxun is already suspecting in his heart that our three divisions are bluffing, Yang Zhendong must have asked him for help, maybe he won't care at first, but if Yang Zhendong asks for help one after another, and we never attack, Xie Hongxun is afraid that he will be sure that he has been fooled this morning, but why can't he go directly to Tonggu, What about rescuing Yang Zhendong? That's because of our existence, although Xie Hongxun judged that he was deceived, but he still didn't know the strength of our army, it was useless to bring fewer people, and if there were too many, Xiushui might not be able to keep it, so he wanted to lure us out, Wan Shouhe was the bait he sent, and he took another brigade to follow Wan Shouhe's right side. ”
Zhuang Jihua continued: "The strength of a brigade is just right, even if we are a division, as long as this brigade can hold for an hour, Xie Hongxun's troops will arrive, just in time to carry out a two-sided attack." Zhuang Jihua said that he was in danger in his heart, he felt strange when he observed Wan Shouhe, this Wan Shouhe was too cautious, as if he knew that he was going to be attacked, eating, and the machine gunners stayed next to the machine guns; Later, he felt that it was unreasonable for Xie Hongxun to send a brigade out.
If there are three divisions outside, then this brigade is here to send them to death, and if this brigade is lost, Xiushui will definitely not be able to hold it; What if there are no three divisions outside? Zhuang Jihua began to think about it from Xie Hongxun's standpoint, and then he realized that his initial judgment may have been too wishful thinking.
"This Wan Shou is amazing, go ahead, and drag two tails behind to escort him." After the judgment was confirmed, Zhuang Jihua's mood became relaxed and he began to joke again.
"So what are we going to do now?" After listening to Zhuang Jihua's introduction, everyone knew that they had just walked in the death trap, and when they were breathing a sigh of relief, Liu Jing rushed to ask questions first.
"It's very simple, Xie Hongxun brought out a total of four regiments, how many people are there in the city? At most one group, so we went to Xiushui for a walk. Zhuang Jihua smiled as he spoke.
Song Xiongfu and Liu Jing immediately jumped up and applauded, but Yu Chengwan and Xiong Shouyun looked at each other and smiled bitterly, this Zhuang Jihua is too bold, and a regiment dares to attack the city.
"Don't worry, we won't attack the city." Zhuang Jihua saw Xiong Shouyun and Yu Chengwan's worries: "Phoenix Mountain is the commanding heights of Xiushui City, it is condescending and can control the whole city, so we just need to capture Phoenix Mountain." ”
"What about the city?" Xiong Shouyun asked.
"The lack of troops in the city will definitely not dare to come out, and we will not attack the water repair, and as soon as Xie Hongxun's two brigades go back, we will withdraw from Phoenix Mountain." Zhuang Jihua said nonchalantly, and then ordered: "Rest for another half an hour, take this opportunity to everyone hurry up and eat something, no fire, only dry food." Then we'll go to Xiushui to have a look. ”
Phoenix Mountain is like a phoenix spreading its wings to embrace Xiushui County, the wild chrysanthemums in early autumn are all over the mountain, and the yellow flowers bloom a little golden yellow in the sunset, diffusing bursts of fragrance to the air.
At dusk, Zhuang Jihua led the troops to quietly move to the bottom of the mountain, and the defenders were not found in several passes along the way, and the morale of the whole regiment was suddenly great, Zhuang Jihua ordered Yu Chengwan to take a company to monitor the enemy troops in the city, the first battalion was attacking the main peak, the second battalion launched an attack from the flank, and the five and six companies of the second battalion were the reserves, and the reconnaissance company was responsible for reconnoitering the movements within ten miles around.
"I have only one request, fast, fierce, ruthless, take Phoenix Mountain for me!" Zhuang Jihua's face was fierce, and his tone was full of murder.
"Don't worry, deputy division commander, I can't take it down, I'll come to see you." Song Xiongfu dropped a cruel word and rushed to the mountain with his troops.
"This kid, how to lead the charge, forget that he is the battalion commander." Zhuang Jihua scolded in his mouth, but he was quite satisfied with his bravery.
After a while, the gunshots rang out like popping beans, followed by the explosion of grenades, and the shouts of the charge were louder in the darkening mountain forest.
Song Xiongfu was found three or four hundred meters away from the enemy's position, he commanded the knife in his left hand, the shell gun in his right hand, roared upward, the officers and soldiers shouted in unison, a whirlwind blew into the enemy's position, and after a short white-knuckle battle, the remnants of the enemy fled to the main peak.
Song Xiongfu reluctantly chased the enemy's buttocks, and after Zhuang Jihua came up, he found that the position was empty, and quickly ordered the fifth and sixth companies to arrange defenses.
"Damn, this Song Manzi knows to rush, if there is an enemy detouring from the side at this time, see what he will do." Zhuang Jihua said angrily to Xiong Shouyun.
"Don't worry, he knows that you will fight for him in the back, otherwise give him a guts, he won't dare to fight like this." Xiong Shouyun defended Song Xiongfu: "Besides, the more fierce he fights, the more effective Liu Jing's sneak attack will be." ”
"I said not this, I mean he should have at least one person left to report to me. How many defenders are there? How many enemies are there in the mountains? Zhuang Jihua hated: "Come on, let's inquire ourselves." ”
The captives were quickly taken down, and from their mouths, Zhuang Jihua learned that there was a reinforced regiment on the mountain, but most of them went down the mountain this morning to set off with Xie Hongxun, and now there is only one battalion on the mountain.
"Daonan, you take the fifth company and the machine gun company up, and strive to take the main peak in the shortest possible time." Zhuang Jihua said to Xiong Shouyun: "It's still the same sentence, fast, fierce, and ruthless." ”
"Yes, fast, fierce, ruthless!" Xiong Shouyun turned around and yelled at the commander of the fifth company: "The fifth company comes with me!" ”
The commander of the fifth company was overjoyed when he heard this, and ran to his company, shouting as he ran: "The fifth company is assembled!" ”
The commander of the sixth company said to Zhuang Jihua dissatisfiedly: "Deputy division commander, why is it the fifth company, we should be on it." ”
"What's the hurry! You have to fight the battle. Zhuang Jihua said viciously: "You now arrange the defenses everywhere, and there must be open and dark posts." Don't let anyone else hit our sneak attack. ”
"Yes." The commander of the sixth company agreed weakly.
"Spirit point! I don't want to fight next time. ”
"Yes!" The sixth company commander replied loudly.
When Xiong Shouyun went up for reinforcements, Song Xiongfu was suppressed on the mountainside more than 70 meters away from the main peak. The enemy's two machine guns spat out two fire dragons, locking their path to death, and Song Xiongfu organized two charges, but failed to break through the enemy blockade.
"Organize the cover group." Seeing that Song Xiongfu only cared about rushing up, Xiong Shouyun was a little angry, this kind of assault tactic Zhuang Jihua had organized training, and Song Xiongfu forgot about it under his passion.
Song Xiongfu slapped his head, turned around and went down to the rear to summon the company commanders and said: "According to the usual training method, each company immediately organized a cover group, an assault group, and a support group. Fifteen minutes later, they all attacked together. ”
The machine gun brought by Xiong Shouyun set up a machine gun and fired at the enemy on the hill, attracting the enemy's fire, and after a while, the covering group was quietly in position, three sharpshooters dealt with a machine gun, and the pitcher (only two of the whole group was found) crept quietly in the night, lurking under a rock. The assault group of forty or fifty men all mounted bayonets and lay quietly in the grass.
"Let's go!" Xiong Shouyun said coldly with his eyes in his eyes.
Slap, slap, several shots in a row, followed by two explosions, the enemy's machine gun suddenly became dumb, and the assault group jumped up and rushed to the top of the peak at a rapid pace, and the sound of killing rose to the sky.
There was a panic on the enemy's position, shouting and scolding came from time to time, and after a while the enemy's machine guns rang out again, but this time the time was short, and in less than a minute, the gunfire stopped, but in just a few minutes, the assault group fighters were three or four people down.
Just when the enemy was convinced and courageous and prepared to meet the assault group, another gunfire came from the flank, and Liu Jing led the three battalions to attack in a roundabout way.
In the night, I don't know how many Northern Expeditionary troops there were, but only heard the sound of killing once, Xie Jun panicked, dropped his weapons and ran.
Upstairs in Beicheng, Gan Shijun listened to the blazing gunshots on Phoenix Mountain, and was so anxious that he turned around. He immediately led people to Beicheng after hearing the gunshots in the headquarters, but he couldn't send troops, there were only two battalions in the entire Xiushui City, and it was not enough to defend the city with this amount of troops, let alone send troops to aid Phoenix Mountain.
"Master, Master, you fell for someone else." Gan Shijun first muttered to himself, and then ordered loudly: "Send a few more people, go out of the city separately, and ask the master to return to the city immediately." Tell the division that Phoenix Mountain has been lost, and the water repair is in danger. ”
As he spoke, the gunfire of Phoenix Mountain thinned out, Gan Shijun knew what it meant, and now he could only look up to the sky and sigh, praying that Xie Hongxun could rush back as soon as possible.
After a while, there were dark shadows under the city, the sound was noisy, and someone was shouting for the door.
"Deputy division commander, it's Camp Commander Sun's person, open the door, right?" Yu Zhimu, the head of the regiment who stayed behind to defend the city, pleaded.
Gan Shijun shook his head: "Let them go to the West Gate, you go too, be very careful, there may be the Northern Expeditionary Army mixed in." ”
Yu Zhimu had a cold war, and took a company of people and went to the West Gate.
"Deputy division commander, deputy division commander," Song Xiongfu ran into Zhuang Jihua's temporary headquarters, and when he saw Zhuang Jihua, he shouted: "Let's attack the city, I understand, there are only two battalions in the city, and one charge will be taken." ”
Zhuang Jihua didn't raise his head, just looked at the map by the lantern, and Song Xiongfu stepped to his side in two steps: "Cultural Revolution, deputy division commander, you just give an order, you can't take the water repair..." ”
"You're going to see you again?" Zhuang Jihua stared at the map and drew a line on the map with a red pencil.
"Yes, yes."
"Then you can cut off your own head now." After Zhuang Jihua finished drawing the last line, he threw the pencil on the drawing, looked up at Song Xiongfu and said coldly.
