Temporary position in Zhouxing Village.

The company that remained alone was the third battalion and the second company of the divisional regiment, and most of the veterans in this company were veterans who had experienced several battles.

In order to complete the next plan and combat mission this time, and at the same time reduce casualties as much as possible and achieve the best results, before Han Zheng left Zhouxing Village and entered Shitai Town, he had already equipped the third battalion and the second company of the division with five heavy machine guns and twenty light machine guns, so as to strengthen their offensive and defensive capabilities, and ensure that they could withstand the first wave of attack of the pigtail army before the arrival of large force support!

In this way, this company has become the most elite and well-equipped company in the entire 211th Division of Northern Anhui!

At about twelve o'clock in the morning in the evening, Zheng Xiaosan, who was arranged by Han Zheng, had already arrived here with Han Zheng's secret order, informed the company of the movement in the direction of Huaibei, and then told the plan according to Han Zheng's explanation, and he himself stayed here and did not return.

"Brothers, the commander is watching our performance from behind, the credit last time was snatched clean by the group of rabbit cubs of the second brigade, we are the most elite troops in name, but don't forget, those little cubs of the second brigade are very unconvinced, plus the last battle, we didn't even drink the soup, it's really a bit embarrassing!"

"But this time it's different, we just need to complete this mission, and then let their old boys see what elite is!"

After Zhang Guofeng, the commander of the second company, received Han Zheng's order and learned of the movements of the Xuzhou army, he began to assemble his troops, and at this time he was making a final speech and shouted loudly in front of everyone in the company.

Zhang Guofeng is a native of Anhui Province, originally studied in junior high school for a period of time in other places, and then there was turmoil in the family, and Han Zhengjun later settled in, which stabilized, and Zhang Guofeng also ignored the opposition of his family, dropped out of school and ran back to join the army.

Unexpectedly, in a short period of time, he became a company commander of a young divisional company.

"Usually it looks like this company commander Zhang is still like a scholar, which is good, you Qiu Ba have turned an intellectual into a hooligan."

Although Zheng Xiaosan has not been here for a long time, he is still familiar with the generals of the division, and at this time, standing next to him, he saw this Zhang Company Commander shouting in front of his subordinates with a red face, and said jokingly to a few soldiers in the guards who followed him.

The guard rolled his eyes in his heart: "You are still embarrassed to talk about others, you are not very old, and you are not the same as the other party, and now you will explode at every turn?!" But everyone likes it, if you adults open your mouth and close your mouth, it is estimated that you can suffocate us little pawns without exhaustion. ”

But this sentence can only be said in his heart, he doesn't want to be scolded by his superiors for his small nature, he can remember everything, and if he can't get it, he will say that he is like a woman......

Zheng Xiaosan didn't expect his subordinates to slander, and at this time, when he saw that his subordinates didn't come to the occasion, he was quite depressed, so he had to listen to Company Commander Zhang's speech.

"Don't look at the strength of their two battalions, we only have one company, but I'm not afraid! You know why? Because the Commander is right behind us! There is a commander to press us down, what kind of enemy can't be defeated?! When the time comes, everyone has to listen to my command, I let everyone retreat, I let everyone go up, if anyone fucking gets red-eyed, I won't save you at that time! Got it?! ”

"Yes, company commander!"

"Got it, company commander!"

Everyone below laughed, and even the tense atmosphere of the battle was about to start was eliminated a lot.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, everyone in the province says that I'm a company commander, let's start preparing now, don't fucking cowardly when the time comes, our three companies are veterans, don't lose face in front of the recruits! Go ahead! ”

Zhang Guofeng is very satisfied with the performance of his subordinates, although the following answers are a little untidy and sound unimposing, but everyone's faces are flashing with excitement, and this is enough!

After the soldiers all went down, Zhang Guofeng came to Zheng Xiaosan's side and said, "I said Captain Zheng, are you watching the excitement, or are you following the brothers to get a handful?" ”

When Zheng Xiaosan heard this, his eyes were about to get angry, but he suddenly reacted and said with some amusement: "I know that your brother Zhang is not honest, don't you want your brother to accompany you crazy?" At this time, it is on me! ””

Zhang Guofeng was recognized by the other party, but he smiled and said without blushing: "Then do you agree?" If you don't agree, when you see your brothers eating meat, you won't even be able to drink the soup, but don't blame me for not being interesting enough to my brothers, I didn't ask you in advance, by the way, and Captain Zheng, I am a year older than you, you should call me brother, right? ”

Zheng Xiaosan was also lazy about Zhang Guofeng at this time, but if he really let himself watch from the side, where could he sit still? Knowing that the other party was a radical general, he didn't want to refuse, so he directly said: "Count you ruthless, crazy Zhang, don't be rampant now, anyway, when the commander came, he had already explained to us that we should just listen to your command, and if you can't complete the commander's task at that time, you will be laughed at at that time." ”

As for that brother or something, I just didn't hear it, I was one year younger than the other party, this is not easy to argue, I can only take advantage of it from time to time, once the other party finds out, I will change the topic, and I have tried and tried.

This time is no exception, hearing Zheng Xiaosan say this, he Zhang Guofeng is not intimidating, and directly drops a sentence and says: "Let Captain Zheng open his eyes today, I didn't learn in vain to follow the commander!" ”

Li Yan led two battalions of resentful men and horses to the area of Zhouxing Village, and the momentum was violent, and there was no obstruction of the Northern Anhui Army on the way, and the march was surprisingly smooth!

But this situation makes Li Yan very worried, recently due to the conflict between the Xuzhou Army and Han Zheng's Northern Anhui Army, he has studied all the tactics of Han Zheng during this period of time, he doesn't think that Han Zheng will be so careless, there is not even a sentry, is it true that Han Zheng listened to his own persuasion and collected his troops and retreated?

But thinking about it, Li Yan felt that he wouldn't, if the other party really listened to his persuasion, why did he give him that fateful letter? Is it just to disgust yourself?!

"No, it must be wrong!" Li Yan secretly said twice in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he still called out to the guards, and then asked the troops to increase the reconnaissance of the surroundings, striving to ensure the smooth operation tonight.

The soldiers below were already dissatisfied when they were woken up in the middle of the night, and they were already glad that they didn't encounter the enemy at this time.

But he didn't expect his commander to have nothing to do, so he let them follow the blind toss, and the soldiers who were arranged to reconnoiter left the large army in frustration and walked to the front in the gloating eyes of their colleagues around them.

However, until it was less than two miles away from Zhouxing Village, there was still no enemy figure in sight, and Zhouxing Village was also quiet, and there was no figure at all.

Seeing this, those scouts secretly relaxed in their hearts, and thought to themselves: "Those people haven't heard that our army is coming and fled in embarrassment, where do they dare to wait here to die?" As for the company that was wiped out two days ago, it's even more of a mess, even if you don't die, you don't have to die, and the fuck will involve us people to suffer this crime in the middle of the night! ”

Li Yan has been careful, but he is getting closer and closer to Zhouxing Village, but he still has not received the information that there is an enemy army in front of him, and he now has some doubts about whether he is too nervous

"Go, send someone to ask the scouts in front, is there any movement in the direction of Zhouxing Village? If the enemy is not visible in the Zhouxing Village position, try to let the striker enter the position, and in addition, let the scouts expand the reconnaissance area and continue to investigate deeply. Li Yan looked at the night in front of him, and always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, although he couldn't see the enemy now, he still chose to be cautious.

The herald was stunned, it wouldn't matter if there were no enemy troops in the Xingcun position this week, but if there were enemy troops in ambush, wouldn't the scouts be wiped out by the other party?!

"Why don't you go yet?! Do you want me to say it again?! Li Yan saw that the herald didn't seem to understand what he meant, and said coldly.

"Yes, sir!" At this time, the herald had no choice but to run to the group of scouts in front of him to convey the orders of the adults.

How did he know what Li Yan was thinking at this time? Now although he wants to seize the position of Zhouxing Village, and Han Zhengjun seems to have taken the initiative to retreat, in this way, he can stop at Zhouxing Village, and explain to Zhang Xun, wash away his suspicions, and wait for the army to come. ”

However, Li Yan didn't want to get the reputation of being the first to attack his own people, after all, the current Xuzhou Zhang Xun Department and Han Zheng Anhui Northern Army are still subordinate to the Beiyang Army system, that is, Zhang Xun and Zhang Dashuai, they are all thinking of an excuse to attack Han Zheng, whether it is reasonable or not, there must be one.

Although everyone knows that this is a cover, no one will puncture it.

In Li Yan's heart, if the position around Zhouxing Village really didn't have Han Zheng's Northern Anhui Army to defend it, it would be fine, but if there was really a Northern Anhui garrison, once the other party took the lead, it would not be his own hand that made the first move, but Han Zheng's side that launched the provocation first.

As for the reconnaissance team, at this time, Li Yan knew his choice, if no one sacrificed, how could he get rid of suspicion?!

It can be seen that no matter how honest and kind a person is, he will abandon all kindness on the battlefield, focus on the overall situation, and do whatever it takes to achieve the goal!

Immediately, the entire rear of the Xuzhou Army began to slowly slow down the march, quietly waiting for the news from the reconnaissance troops in front

After receiving Li Yan's order, although the scouts complained in their hearts, they didn't think much about it, and indignantly led people to continue the investigation.

In their hearts, at this time, they had already decided that the Northern Anhui Army was because they knew that the Xuzhou Department had entered here, and those Northern Anhui troops had fled from here.

Thinking of this, those scouts didn't react much while thinking they were unlucky, anyway, they were all in this place, and it was a big deal to sleep less tonight.

So, the scout, under the leadership of his commander, was in the stunned gaze of the herald. The group entered the Zhouxing Village position, and more importantly, the Northern Anhui Army really did not encounter any enemy troops in the entire Zhouxing Village position!

On the contrary, on the ground, some of them were full of steaming meals, and there were even bursts of meat-smelling marching stoves!

Although some of these marching stoves were overturned, many of them were still crooked there, but they were not overturned!

These people crawled out of the bed in the middle of the night, and acted as scouts, and ran for such a long distance in fear, and by now they were already hungry, when they saw that there was meat here, and the food was hot, and they began to swallow incessantly in their throats.

However, these people were quite reliable, and they did not forget their business, and sent a reluctant soldier back to report the news, and at the same time promised the other party to leave him some meat, and the soldiers sent agreed to it.

When they saw that the messenger had returned the same way and reported to the army, the scouts who had stayed behind reached out around a few cauldrons of meat to taste it.

However, the reconnaissance captain of his more than 20 people is a bit brainy, how to say that he has heard the storyteller tell the story of the Water Margin, and at this time he hurriedly stopped his subordinates and said: "You don't check and do it?" Beware of being poisoned! “

"Won't you, Captain? If you look at these things, it is obvious that the other party found out that our army was coming and fled directly, and they didn't even have time to eat, which happened to be cheaper for us. ”

"You know what, why don't you try it first?!" When the captain saw that his subordinates actually refuted him, he immediately felt very shameless and said.

"Alas, then forget it, anyway, the brothers don't eat, how can I be embarrassed to eat alone"

"Hmph, let you have a long insight, don't just think about eating!" The captain said and took out the silver hairpin from his bosom, and in the surprised and envious eyes of his subordinates, he inserted it into one of the pots of food very chicly, and then something unexpected happened, and there was no change in the pot!

"Well, it's not poisonous, let's eat it." The captain was stunned, but he was happy in his heart, and said this sentence seriously, and then took advantage of everyone's inattention, and quickly reached out and grabbed a piece of big fat meat and stuffed it into his mouth, don't say it, the temperature is just right, and the taste is good.

Seeing their own captain do it, where will the others lag behind? Soon the army will come, but there will be no share of these little pawns, and as for leaving some meat for the man who has just delivered the letter, alas, who remembers this at this time, first fill his stomach.

They did not know at all that more than three hundred meters away from them, one or two hundred soldiers were pointing their guns at them. (To be continued.) )
