"Report: Former Enemy General Command Urgent Telegram." Captain Zhan Huanqi, a communications staff officer, strode into the conference room of the regiment headquarters.

"Read it."

An Yi put down the pencil in his hand, raised his head, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Telegram. Today, the 4th and 6th Divisions of the Dai Yue Division of the Second Army were accidentally ambushed by the enemy's Fifth Army 15 kilometers north of Chun'an, and ordered your troops to arrive at the rescue within 24 hours to relieve the difficulties of the friendly army. ”

Zhan Huanqi finished reading and handed the folder to An Yi.

Yang Bin, Xia Jian, Qu Muchen and Ye Cheng, who were sitting around the big table, immediately looked at the map on the table, An Yi took the folder and looked at it hurriedly, signed and handed it to Zhan Huanqi: "Sent in the name of Chief Bai?" It seems that there is no room for negotiation, so let's reply to the order. ”

"Yes."

Zhan Huanqi immediately drafted a telegram and asked An Yi to sign and leave quickly.

An Yi pondered for a moment and asked loudly, "Everyone, are you weird?" So far, none of the main regiments of the whole army has received preferential treatment for being equipped with portable radio stations, and the former enemy command has generously provided us with a state-of-the-art German radio station, and has also thoughtfully sent an instructor to help us train our personnel, which touched me a lot! Coincidentally, I just arrived in Jiande City for a comfortable dinner, and the order for us to save people arrived, interesting, haha! ”

Everyone raised their heads and looked at An Yi, and reacted one after another, Xia Jian couldn't help but ask loudly: "Big brother, do you mean that you have already ...... it?"

"Stop! Don't shout so loudly. ”

An Yi picked up a cigarette and lit one: "Lao Yang, tell me your opinion, how did the two divisions of the Second Army be surrounded by others?" ”

Yang Bin pondered for a moment with his big head sideways: "I can't say, but judging from the location explained in the current telegram, it is very likely that they were surrounded by the enemy by detouring to Guangchang from the west of Huxi to attack Chun'an, and there is a great possibility that the second army collected ships on the opposite bank of the fork lake in the north of Chun'an City, and suddenly crossed the fork lake one or two kilometers wide, and tried to turn south to attack Chun'an.

But whether it's by land or by land and water to bypass Chun'an, we don't have to pursue it, there's no point! At present, the biggest problem is, how can we arrive at the first-line rescue in Longtingli, north of Chun'an, within 24 hours? I calculated that the distance was about fifty kilometers, and I was not sure if I would encounter enemy resistance along the way. ”

Ye Cheng expressed his opinion: "At present, it is beneficial to us that Xiaya Town has been occupied by our model battalion, and although Chun'an is only more than 40 kilometers away from the enemy army on the front line of Tonglu, there are thousands of mountains and valleys in the middle and there is no way to go, except for Xiaya Town, the enemy army can only take the 85-kilometer-long detour road of Fenshui, Baijiang and Wenchang in the north to help the enemy in Longtingli, so I speculate that the enemy did not have so many troops to rush to help when our army pressed the border, and the Fifth Army of Sun itself had more than 14,000 officers and soldiers, The friendly 2nd and 6th Divisions, which had besieged the lone army from three sides, did not need reinforcements, but only needed to fight steadily and press step by step, and the battle could be ended in a day or two.

Since Commander Bai urgently ordered our regiment to rush to the aid of the siege, and it is estimated that Sandu Town, which is thirty kilometers to the east, is also under the pressure of our friendly forces, we do not need to be distracted by the safety of the right flank, and we can transfer the main force to rescue on the basis of sticking to Xiaya Town and Jiande City, but how to march and how to determine the way of attack are the key. ”

An Yi nodded frequently, leaned over to the desktop and quickly picked up the pen to write the order: "Dong Yanzi-"

"Here!"

Lieutenant Sekiyama, the instructor of the communications company, arrived in stride.

"This was handed over to Company Commander Zhan and asked him to telegraph to the General Headquarters and ask for the specific location of the Second Army besieged and the distribution of enemy forces it was facing, or to have the Second Army brothers make direct radio contact with us. After you take this order, rush to Xiaya Town as soon as possible and hand it to Hu Zi, and ask him to lead Lao Ding's guard company to set off immediately, and send a signal soldier back to Xiaya Town every hour to report the details of the way. An Yi handed over the two orders to Guan Shan.

"Yes!"

An Yi turned to Peng Jianqing, the deputy of the communication company in front of the big table five meters away: "Jianqing, is the telephone line between you and the second battalion set up?" ”

"Just connected, please give me any orders." Peng Jianqing replied immediately.

An Yi nodded with satisfaction: "Lao Ye, you call your second battalion and ask them to immediately search for the Xin'an River estuary near the tea garden station, and detain all the boats and boatmen for requisition, how much money we will pay, it is best to get two steamboats." ”

Ye Cheng's eyes lit up: "Understood!" It is estimated that the news of our army's occupation of Jiande and Xiaya Town has not yet reached the enemy's headquarters, let alone to the direction of Chun'an so quickly, if it can penetrate Chun'an directly from the waterway, the whole journey is only within 20 kilometers, and the officers and soldiers can rest by boat, this battle will be much easier to fight! I'm going to make a phone call, and then I'm going to go back and set it up myself, even if there are a dozen or so big fishing boats without a steamboat! ”

Ye Cheng left in a hurry, and An Yi smiled at Yang Bin: "I just saw that the tip of your pen also slipped across the lake, presumably you have the same mind as me, right?" ”

Yang Bin laughed: "That's right, I'm just worried about whether the enemy will be on guard, but I didn't expect Battalion Commander Ye to calculate much faster than me, haha!" ”

"Hello? Big brother, how is my first battalion arranged? You can't let hundreds of my brothers sleep with their heads bored, can you? Xia Jian smelled the smell of gunpowder and didn't want to let go anymore.

An Yi glared at him: "What's the hurry?" If the bearded ones move well, Lao Tzu will let your battalion run fifty kilometers in one night, and run a hundred miles with the model battalion of the light road, and attack the enemy's flank from the east and northeast, and we will also give the enemy a counter-encirclement, even if you can't eat him, you have to scare him away. ”

"Haha! Grandma's, let's attack like this, plus Lao Ye's waterway, hasn't it also become a three-sided attack? It is estimated that the enemy never dreamed that we would come so quickly, this battle has oil and water, haha! Xia Jian was very happy.

An Yi put away his smile and said solemnly: "All this is still our wishful thinking so far, but no matter what, the military order must not be violated, even if it is difficult, this battle must be fought, and if you fight well, you will have some income, and if you don't fight well, you can scare the enemy away and relieve the siege for your allies." But don't take things so lightly, you have to go back to the camp at once and get ready for your departure, bring enough ammunition and dry food, and tomorrow you will probably not have time to cook, so you must be well prepared, and always think about what to do in the event of a tough battle? This is progress, you have to learn more from Lao Ye and Cheng Guang, don't think that you can win a hundred battles if you are fast and ruthless enough, if you don't believe you, Xia Jian will try to see how far you can go. ”

Xia Jian realized that An Yi was really playing, and immediately stood aside honestly, not daring to have any more pride: "Big brother, I know that I am wrong!" I'm going to go back and get ready. ”

"Go ahead! For the sake of the generals, they should guard against arrogance and rashness, think twice before making a decision, and always think about the surnames of the brothers. There are so many capable people in this troubled world, a mountain is higher than a mountain, and even I am counted to death, let alone you? Go back, sharpen your knife and look farther away, so that you can keep growing. An Yi nodded and motioned for Xia Jian to leave.

Xia Jian saluted and strode away, Yang Bin and Qu Muchen looked at An Yi with a sigh, Yang Bin said in a low voice: "Xiao Yi, although you are young, you are much better than us in controlling your subordinates, we are not at your level, and you are not good at seizing the opportunity to follow the temptation, we have all admired it in the past few months!" ”

An Yi waved his hand and said angrily: "Old Yang, don't boast, where am I doing to be kind and seductive?" I was worried that the brothers would develop bad diseases without knowing the heavens and the earth. Just as you said, the brothers have generally improved in the past few months, but many people have become arrogant in their hearts and morals, and they think they are terrible after winning a few battles, which is not good! He who will kill himself and his other brothers will be killed.

Not to mention, let's just say that last month my second division of the first Longyou fiasco, the three, self-esteem of the main force almost all annihilated, not only killed and wounded seven or eight thousand brothers, tired of our reading force group also suffered heavy casualties, not to mention, we worked hard to save them back, but they didn't even send a doctor to us, so that Lao Tzu could only go to the church of the foreigners, in the end, if it was not for the compassion of Commander-in-Chief Jiang, urgently transported a few boxes of special medicine, how many battle-hardened old brothers would have died? Despite this, we still attract the jealousy of others, who do you say I will cry to when I encounter such a thing? ”

"Yes! The whole Chinese army is the same, our revolutionary army is a little better, although they calculate each other, but things are not too out of line, and there is a little comfort. But no matter what, you really can't take it lightly and develop the bad habit of slacking. Qu Muchen also sighed frequently.

An Yi nodded emphatically: "That's right, so in our troops, there must be no signs of blind optimism, such as the difficulties we are facing in front of us, it looks like a dozens of kilometers of running, but the whole regiment has been marching rapidly for a day and a half, and it will be fatal to walk again, and the enemy facing it is 14,000 people, let's fight people with less than 3,000 people in three battalions and two companies, isn't it like gambling, betting that the enemy's Fifth Army is not bold enough to scare them away when the whole line is pressed by large soldiers?" If you meet a leader like you and me, you will definitely have to fight before you retreat, but as long as you fight, won't you be able to see the reality of the void?

So, this battle seems to take advantage of the surprise attack, but in fact it is very difficult to fight, and a bad estimate will be glued together, even if the brothers of the second army are demoralized and cooperate with each other to win the event, it will be a two-defeat ending with heavy casualties. The more times like this, the more you have to be careful, crises are everywhere! ”

"That's right! I also feel that this departure is really a bit abnormal, why are we alone in front of the right wing in the middle of our army? Why don't you let us fight under the unified command of the division headquarters? And under the direct command of the General Command of the former enemy? It's not conventional! "The experienced Yang Bin's sense of smell is quite keen.

Qu Muchen echoed: "It's really against common sense, if it weren't for Xiao Yi, you advocated a fast march and arrived early beyond everyone's expectations, and with the efforts of the guards and brothers, we didn't let Jiande City escape alone, I'm afraid we really don't have time to think about so many things, and there is no way to block the news, if we don't think about it until we lose the battle in ignorance, it will be worth the loss." ”

An Yi sighed: "No way, before we expand into teachers, we have to pretend to be our grandson honestly, no matter how difficult it is, we have to bite the bullet!" ”
