In the evening, after learning the exact news that all the divisions of the Second Army had reached the southern outskirts of Nanchang City, that the Second Division had captured Niuhang Station and forcibly crossed the Ganjiang River, and that the troops were approaching the west of the city, An Yi's troops, under the instruction of Commander-in-Chief Chiang, drove all of them to the east bank and took 34 trucks to the direction of Jinxian in the east, and the first mechanized mobilization of the revolutionary army began to begin.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the convoy arrived safely at the front line of Quanling, and Yin Jinan and Gu Laoer, who had already received the news, led two platoons of guards to wait.

Yin Jinan was very happy to see An Yi and Cai Zhonghu, and was extremely envious of An Yi Neng to use the principal to carry out a large-scale troop mobilization by car, and led the battalion commanders of the two battalions to survey the terrain with a few words of greeting, and ordered the commanders of each battalion to lead their headquarters to build positions.

Gu Lao Er walked to the truck that transported the horses, ordered his brothers to set up a springboard, carefully led An Yi's little black horse and Cai Zhonghu's jujube red horse, and affectionately stroked the strong and toned neck of the little black horse, envious.

"Boss, how come there are two beautiful carbines on the back of the little black pony?" Gu Lao Er took the little black horse and asked loudly.

An Yi laughed: "These two Murata horse pistols were left by Brother Zhang Chengzhu, Hu Zi and Ji Nan each have one, unfortunately I have not been able to find six and a half caliber bullets, before leaving, I finally got two boxes back in the hands of the senior of the Second Army stationed in Gao'an, I tested dozens of rounds, and I feel very good."

Xiao said that this kind of special carbine, which is only equipped with cavalry division officers, has extremely high precision, exquisite workmanship, and a particularly good feel, even if it is a one-handed shot, it does not feel any recoil, and the barrel does not beat too much.

Tiger head, you pick one, the cartridge belt in front of the saddle, with your excellent horse skills, absolutely good, just to make up for the lack of range of the shell gun. ”

Gu Lao Er excitedly took off the pistol, took it in his hand and looked at it lovingly for a moment, and suddenly pulled out a circle of gun flowers, and it was loaded quickly with a "click", and Cai Zhongwat and the brothers on the side were straight-eyed.

After settling everything, An Yi warmly thanked the colonel of the transport regiment and the brothers, and politely sent them back, leaving only the sixteen tractor trucks of Cai Zhonghu's artillery regiment.

Gu Lao Er did not wait for orders, and had already ordered the brothers to erect camp tents in the flat place south of Quanling Mountain, and the fire head soldiers of each battalion and company were busy burying pots and making meals, and it was already four o'clock in the morning when they had filled their stomachs.

The firing points and trenches built along the two-kilometer-long gentle slope have been completed, the machine guns and bullets have been delivered, and the exhausted officers and men have eaten a full meal full of oil and water, and immediately took out their raincoats and put them under them.

The brothers of the two platoons of the guard company who were on duty dutifully performed their duties, and in groups of two they dispersed along the edge of the position within a three-kilometer radius, vigilantly watching the Fuhe River in all directions and on the left.

Cai Zhongwat and his subordinates watched all this, full of admiration, and repeatedly praised An Yi's army, where is the supplementary regiment? It is even better than the main regiment, and its strict military discipline and tenacious style are incomparable to any other team in the army.

Yin Jinan, who came back from the inspection, said that these two battalions were new battalions that had only been formed for 20 days, and Cai Zhongwat and others were so surprised that they almost couldn't close their mouths, and asked Yin Jinan what the first and second battalions composed of veterans looked like? Yin Jinan replied with a smile: If only the brothers of the first and second battalions would have been able to sleep two hours ago, and the trenches were absolutely covered with all the cold and windproof objects they could find.

The sky was dark, An Yi, who took a nap, handed over the position to Yin Jinan, and took Gu Lao Er and a detachment of brothers out of the camp tent to take out the horses, Cai Zhonghu, who had just slept, heard the movement, and also got out of his camp tent, and heard An Yi say that he wanted to rush to Jinxian County to meet with General Gao Zhihua, Cai Zhonghu immediately asked his guards to bring the horses and ask to go together, An Yi readily agreed.

After a while, more than 20 horsemen rushed out of the foot of Quanling Mountain and rushed to the main road.

Cai Zhongwat looked around, only to find that the position of the supplementary regiment was very unique, it was located on both flanks of the east-west and north-south intersections, relying on a low slope that stretched for several miles in the east-west direction, condescendingly taking in the wide area to the north, and firmly occupying the three-kilometer area between the Fuhe River on the left flank and the high mountains on the right flank.

On the way eastward, there were several officers and soldiers of the supplementary regiment strictly guarded at every large and small intersection, both the villagers and businessmen were dissuaded, and they were only allowed to go south and east, not north.

After passing through the heavily garrisoned Zhanggong Town, the low city wall of Jinxian County was in sight, and the observation post on the city wall saw An Yi and his party galloping with the agreed blue flag from a distance, and immediately flew to report to Gao Zhihua.

When An Yi and his entourage came to the city gate, Gao Zhihua, Yang Bin, Lu Mingdi, and Hu Zi happened to greet them.

After the two sides finished saluting immediately, Gao Zhihua had a good impression of An Yi, who was still hanging with only his left arm at a young age, and learned that An Yi's two battalions and a reinforced company of Cai Zhongwat had blocked the only gap Quanling, Gao Zhihua, who was tall and had thick eyebrows and a square face, laughed and hurriedly introduced An Yi and his party into the county seat.

Entering the antique county government gate and dismounting in the compound, Gao Zhihua respectfully and respectfully greeted his Baoding third phase senior Cai Zhongwat again, Cai Zhonghu took his junior brother's hand and walked into the county hall together, seeing An Yi and Gu Lao Er were puzzled.

Hu Zi explained as he walked that Cai Zhongwat and Gao Zhihua of Baoding Phase 7 are both from Dongyang, Zhejiang, and the two have long been familiar with each other, but they have not seen each other for many years, and there is no news from each other.

Beard nodded, and then strode towards the west wing.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, Gao Zhihua immediately took out the map and hung it on the tall screen in the main hall, and a group of generals gathered in front of the map to listen to the topographical introduction and troop deployment of Gao Zhihua and Yang Bin.

Gao Zhihua's conciseness, steadfastness and steadfastness won An Yi's respect, and Yang Bin's accurate defense line layout and explanation of the situation also made An Yi very satisfied:

The positions of the three battalions and two companies of Gao Zhihua's headquarters were exactly stuck on the 14-kilometer line northwest of the county seat, separated by a three-kilometer mountain from Yin Jinan's and Xia Jian's Quanling positions on the left, and connected with the three-kilometer-long blocking position carefully constructed by a battalion led by Hu Zi on the west of Luoxi Town on the right. The officers and men of the two companies of the second battalion of the supplementary regiment led by Lu Mingdi fought in concert and played an important role in strengthening Gao Zhihua's unit.

After the discussion, a group of new and old friends happily set up the big table and had a few drinks.

At one o'clock at noon, Cai Zhonghu's sixteen trucks arrived with his reinforced company, and before they could settle down, Captain Zhou of the radio team hurriedly came in to convey the order of the headquarters: "The enemy defending Nanchang has abandoned the city and fled, and the enemy chief Deng Ruzhuo's Jiang Zhenchen Division, Chen Xiujue Brigade, Xie Wenbing Brigade and other troops, totaling more than 20,000 people, fled to the southeast Jinxian direction at 11 o'clock in the morning, Nanchang City is only 31 kilometers away from your position, and the fleeing enemy must come in a moment, and the officers and men of the Second Division have risen up to pursue, I hope that your troops will resolutely resist and strive to capture all the people in the front and rear, cut off!" ”

A group of generals immediately stood up, discussed a little, and rushed to the front line thirteen kilometers northwest, and one of Cai Zhonghu's reinforced companies had just gotten off the car and had to get on the bus again, following behind a group of generals who were riding horses and galloping, and roared to the northwest.

The people dismounted in front of the Wuling front-line command department, which was 500 meters behind the position, and the radio team of the headquarters immediately set up a radio station and hand-cranked generator, and under An Yi's dictation, sent a report to the headquarters: The 12-kilometer position has completed preparations for battle, 5,800 officers and men are waiting for battle, and everything is proceeding smoothly according to the original plan.

After the whole army ordered to prepare for battle, Gao Zhihua saw An Yi's herald ascending the Wuling Heights more than 50 meters high, and used signal flags to play a series of flags to the left and right flank positions respectively, and asked An Yi's subordinates in surprise how they learned complex flag language?

An Yi replied sadly: The younger brother has a senior who was originally a captain of the Navy of the National Revolutionary Army, and when the younger brother was reading Huangpu, he gave the younger brother a book on the special flag language of the navy, and the younger brother slowly learned it. An Yi didn't say that his senior's name was Li Zhilong, who was the acting director of the Navy Bureau and the captain of the Zhongshan ship at the time, but Cai Zhonghu, who was beside him, knew who An Yi was talking about when he heard it, and he couldn't help but sigh.

After a while, hundreds of chaotic enemy cavalry rushed towards him, and An Yi, who was in the observation post halfway up the mountain, saw in the telescope that a person who looked like a colonel of the enemy army was at the forefront of the team on a black horse, put down the binoculars and whispered a few words to Gu Lao Er behind him.

Gu Lao Er withdrew from the observation post and walked ten meters down, and whispered a few words to Lieutenant Li Fuqiang, a sniper leaning on the edge of a boulder, asking him to specially select enemy officers to attack.

Li Fuqiang, who was expressionless, nodded, raised the small telescope given to him by An Yi again to observe intently, and then grabbed the black and bright rifle beside him and quickly went down the mountain, and disappeared after a while.

"Stop—"

The commander of the enemy regiment, who rode his horse and rushed to about 300 meters in front of the middle position, raised his hand and shouted to stop, and the galloping horse team rushed forward for dozens of meters before it could stop.

The six heavy machine guns on the high ground on both sides opened fire in unison at this time, and the two rounds of strafing knocked down a third of the more than 100 horse teams, and the rest fled backwards in panic, and the light and heavy weapons on the position also began to roar, so that the fleeing enemy turned on his back and screamed again and again.

"Awesome! At a distance of about 230 meters, a shot hit the head, who has such accurate marksmanship? ”

The tall and burly Gao Zhihua put down the binoculars and praised loudly.

An Yi smiled with satisfaction: "The shooting instructor of our regiment, surnamed Li, is the only sharpshooter that my younger brother has seen in his life. ”

Gao Zhihua laughed: "None of Brother An's subordinates are mediocre!" Ha ha...... The regiment commander who was killed just now was Chen Changshuo, a brave general under Jiang Zhenchen, and it is estimated that the main force of the fleeing enemy is within eight kilometers behind him, and he should be too tired to run for several hours in a row, and it is difficult to organize a decent attack in a short time. ”

"Brother Gao, be careful!"

An Yi hurriedly ordered, and before the words fell, Gu Lao Er put down the telescope and said a few words to An Yi excitedly, An Yi raised the telescope to observe again, and admired very happily:

"Sure enough, it's a purebred river meander! The divine horse is strong and outstanding, and it will never be under the little black horse...... You go to Brother Gao and ask him to give an order to let his brothers not misunderstand, I will ask Li Fuqiang to cover you, go and come back quickly. ”

Gu Lao Er quickly caught up with Gao Zhihua, pointed to the sturdy lonely black war horse behind the hill in front of the left side of the position, and asked loudly for something, Gao Zhihua immediately agreed after seeing it clearly, and ordered the herald to order the brothers in the whole army not to shoot.

Gu Lao Er was overjoyed when he heard this, and pulled the herald to run down the hill quickly, and after a while, he arrived at the forward position with the herald, and the herald raised the flag and loudly ordered that no shots should be fired, and the company commanders also passed the order down to the left and right positions.

Gu Lao Er didn't wait for the herald to signal to him that he could go out of the battle, immediately jumped off the position more than two meters high, bent down and rushed towards the hill bag at an incredible speed, and rushed straight to more than 300 meters under the stunned gaze of more than 3,000 officers and soldiers, and slowly moved north behind the hill pack.

The big black horse on the other side of the mountain bag realized the arrival of danger, neighed, and ran away, Gu Lao Er quickly flew out of front and jumped up, like a big peng in the air to pounce on the horse with four hooves in the air, the hands stretched forward were able to grab the tail of the horse, and one foot landed a little heavier, the whole person was like a harrier eagle in the air and turned over a heel fight, and when he fell, he happened to ride on the leather saddle, clamped his legs and hugged the horse's neck, and let it stop when he jumped wildly, In the midst of exclamations, he was always clinging to the back of the thunderous horse.

Under the nervous gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes, the horse sometimes stood up and neighed, sometimes picked up and retreated, and tossed for five or six minutes without stopping, Gu Lao Er on the horse was annoyed, raised his right hand and picked up the iron fist and slammed it on the horse's neck three times, causing the horse to scream and neigh in place and turn around several times like crazy.

Gu Lao Er slammed twice again, and the angry horse that suffered pain was beaten so much that it almost rolled over to the ground, and finally jumped high under the severe pain, and finally knelt on the ground after landing and stopped struggling.

Gu Laoer, who was sweating profusely, grabbed the reins and dismounted, came to the horse's head and squatted down to caress the horse's wounds, touching and sighing while teaching, just like stroking and comforting his son after teaching his own son, and thousands of officers and soldiers were dumbfounded.

A few minutes later, Gu Lao Er gently lifted the reins, the big black horse slowly stood up, obediently let Gu Lao Er turn over and ride on his back, and honestly trotted back to the position, running to the bottom of Wuling Mountain in the rear.

At this time, the officers and soldiers came to their senses, gave earth-shattering cheers, and asked who this person was so heroic?

On the battlefield, the soldiers of Cai Zhonghu's regiment proudly introduced loudly that this person was Gu Changfeng, the guard company commander of our army's model battalion, nicknamed "Tiger Head", and he had the courage of ten thousand people!

This remark once again aroused an exclamation, and the morale of the officers and men who had already heard the name of the "model battalion" was greatly boosted, and word of mouth spread from mouth to mouth.
