After Song Zhewu inspected the arming of various places, he inquired about the arrangements for the guard posts. After learning that all the light and dark posts were arranged, especially a 5-kilometre sentry along both directions of the road. Song Zhewu ate and slept with peace of mind.

Since leaving Tianjin, Song Zhewu has had a feeling of being trapped and out of the cage. After entering the Taihang Mountains, this feeling became more and more intense, and there was even an inexplicable sense of security in my heart. Song Zhewu thought, maybe it was because Taihang Mountain was a famous anti-Japanese base in his previous life......

At around 3 o'clock in the morning, Song Zhewu, who was asleep, was awakened by the sound of running and passwords in the yard. Song Zhewu reached out and took out the pistol from under the pillow, and when he sat up, his right hand shook, and with a slight metal collision sound, the pistol had been opened.

Outside the door, there was a conversation between Ye Changgui, Chu Feng and the guards, and then the guards outside the door reported that Song Zhewu hurriedly opened the door. Ye Changgui, Chu Feng, and Wang Xinggang hurriedly came in, and Chu Feng lit the oil lamp neatly.

"Brigade commander, there is a situation. The squad sentry discharged in the direction of Tang County reported that a force of two or three thousand people was rapidly moving towards Yangjiazhuang, looking pretending to be bandits. They put out their torches five miles away, and it seemed that our target was us. I have ordered the companies to enter their positions and prepare for battle. Please ask the brigade commander for instructions. Ye Changgui finished his report quickly.

Two or three thousand bandits extinguished the torches five miles away, apparently this gang of bandits knew that we were in Yangjiazhuang. The fire extinguishers just didn't want to alarm us, and they were obviously going to make a surprise attack before dawn. If it is in the morning, with the firepower of the guard battalion, not to mention two or three thousand bandits, even five or six thousand people will be fine. But now it is night, and the firepower of the guard battalion is limited. The bandits, with only twice the strength of the guard battalion, dared to attack him, a guard battalion equivalent to a regiment, I am afraid that is what he thought. Moreover, once you break through to the shonai and start a melee with the guard battalion, it is entirely possible to win with the advantage of numbers.

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered Ye Changgui: "Immediately arrange all the heavy machine guns left in the Zhuangnei machine gun company to the position of the first company." Order each company, once the enemy attacks, use fire to intercept the enemy outside the village. All units are not allowed to leave their positions on their own initiative and are not allowed to take the initiative to fight with the enemy with bayonets. As soon as dawn comes, we will have a way to eliminate them. ”

After speaking, Song Zhewu grabbed his military uniform and walked out: "Chu Feng, take the guard class, let's go to the first company." ”

Ye Changgui stepped in front of the door and blocked Song Zhewu's way: "Brigade commander, you can't go to the first company." This is the guard battalion, I am the battalion commander, and you will interfere with my command when you go to the first company. Moreover, when you were training in the training team, you repeatedly said that the commander of a qualified unit should direct the troops to fight, not rush to the front line to fight in person. It is up to you to prohibit the commanders above the battalion level from going to the front-line positions, and you cannot take the lead in violating them. ”

After speaking, he yelled at Chu Feng: "Adjutant Chu, the brigade commander will be handed over to you, if something goes wrong, the brothers in the whole brigade will not agree." Then, with a flick of his hand, he rushed out of the command.

Although Song Zhewu was a weak scholar in his previous life, he still has the consciousness of Young Master Song in his memory. In this world, this young master Song, who left the Baoding Military Academy and entered the Dresden Infantry School, has been receiving a strict military education, and has a brave and ruthless spirit in his bones.

But he gave the order not to allow officers above the battalion level to go to the front-line position, and when Ye Changgui mentioned it, he naturally did not want to violate it. Helplessly, he smiled at Chu Feng and Wang Xinggang.

"Adjutant Chu, send a report to the chief of staff." Song Zhewu thought to himself, he really couldn't go out, and there was still a lot to do.

Chu Feng quickly opened the wallet that had never left his body, took out his pen, and prepared to record.

"Our department arrived in Yangjiazhuang last night. At dawn this morning, it was attacked by thousands of bandits. order, a group rushed to help. The troops left behind in Laiyuan should be on full alert in case of contingencies. ”

As soon as Song Zhewu's voice fell, Chu Feng also finished recording. After handing over the telegram, Song Zhewu checked that it was correct and signed and handed it back to Chu Feng, who immediately went out to generate electricity.

Song Zhewu saw that Wang Xinggang looked at a loss, and said with a smile: "Xinggang, go, don't let us go to the front line, let's go to the room to watch the excitement." ”

Several ladders had already been erected in the courtyard, and the commander of the fourth company of the guards was directing the soldiers to strengthen the defense of the courtyard. Song Zhewu took Wang Xinggang to the ladder of the main house, waved his hand to stop the commander of the fourth company who came to stop him, and pedaled the ladder to the roof.

This main house has bluestone walls and a tiled roof. There were already two groups of people lurking on the ridge, one was the soldiers of the fourth company, and the other was Zhang Ming, the commander of the machine gun company, with the observation group. The roof couldn't salute, Zhang Ming just called the brigade commander. At this time, a soldier delivered a phone from below.

"Brigade commander, this is the tallest house in the village, and I put the observation team here to facilitate command." Zhang Ming said as he assisted the soldiers in wiring.

"Okay." Song Zhewu said as he half-knelt on the ridge of the house, took the telescope handed over by the guard and looked at the Zhuangbei Highway.

The sky is not yet bright, and it will only light up at about 4 o'clock in the morning in the north. Song Zhewu looked at his watch, it was half past three in the morning, which was the darkest time.

Song Zhewu looked around, and the mountains behind the village were quiet, black and swarthy like a giant beast squatting there waiting for its prey. Only the small river in Zhuangxi kept ringing. According to the owner of this house, this river is a tributary of the Juma River.

I don't know why, the big war is imminent, and Song Zhewu doesn't have a trace of nervousness. I don't know if I have confidence in my troops, or if I ......

Song Zhewu shook his head vigorously, trying to calm himself down.

"Company Commander Wang." Wang Ming was half-lying on the ridge of the roof and turned around to agree.

"As soon as the battle starts, you have your twelve 82 mortars fired at the barricade. Target, 100 meters in front of the position of a company, 200 meters in front width. Indiscriminate shooting. ”

When Song Zhewu inspected the position in the evening, he carefully looked at the terrain in front of the village, and the width of 200 meters just blocked the road and the valleys on both sides. Beyond these 200 meters, you can only pass halfway up the hill on both sides. But in this way the offensive speed is lost,

"Smack." A gunshot rang out, and a gunshot rang out on the small high ground in front of the village. With the sound of gunshots, the gunshots on the small high ground immediately rang out. Amid the sound of rifle fire with a long whistle, the sound of two heavy machine guns stood out. It's like the sound of a tambourine with a strong sense of rhythm. "Knock, knock. Knock knock. In the midst of the gunshots, Song Zhewu even heard screams from the other side of the small plateau.

Song Zhewu thought to himself, it seems that this gang of bandits is not simple, and they know the important surname of this small highland to Zhuangzi. Once the bandits occupy the small high ground, they will suppress the firepower in the shonai.

As soon as the gunshots rang out on the small high ground, a killing sound immediately erupted in the darkness in front of the village. At the same time, a burst of gunfire rang out from the position of the company in front of the village. Amid the fire of numerous rifles and more than 20 light and heavy machine guns, the six 60 mortars of a company also exploded in front of the position. The fire from the mortar explosion pointed out the target for the soldiers of the company on the position, and in the flash of the explosion, one could see that some of the large groups of bandits were constantly being shot and fell to the ground.

Wang Ming quickly and clearly gave the order to shoot into the microphone, and in less than ten seconds, "Bang, bang." The sound of 82 mortars firing came from the threshing floor behind the village. The mortar shells rushed into the sky with a shrill whistle and quickly dived to the earth, bursting out twelve powerful flashes of light and loud explosions in front of the position. Although the caliber is only more than 22mm, the explosive power is far more than 60 mortars.

As soon as the 82 mortars rang out, by the light of the fires rising in front of the position, the charging bandits could be seen to panic, and some of the bandits turned around and ran.

"Brigadier Commander." Song Zhewu turned around and saw that Chu Feng had climbed onto the roof. He whispered to Se Zhewu: "Battalion Commander Ye called, and the other party not only has bandits, but also the Northwest Army. ”
