The cold wind in the northwest was cold and biting, but it could not hide Li Keji's boiling blood, and in the whirring wind, although the number of forty-eight soldiers was small, it was like thousands of troops and horses in front, and in the hoarse shouts, Li Keji's fluctuating heart was stirred again and again.

Looking at Li Keji in excitement, Xiao Yintang, the commander of the fifth company, was quite pleased, although he didn't know Li Keji yet, but at this moment, they were both Red Army soldiers.

The order of the central government was urgent, and Xiao Yintang did not talk nonsense, and directly told the soldiers that the Fifth Company had won the task of blocking the white bandit cavalry, and asked everyone if they had the confidence to complete it, and the answer to him was to "guarantee the completion of the task" that shook the mountains and rivers.

After receiving a satisfactory reply, Xiao Yintang distributed the Chong Yu Feng gun he got from Cheng Zhigeng, and after the soldiers reassembled, the soldiers of the fifth company set off immediately.

During the march, Li Keji truly saw for the first time the changing state of the Red Army soldiers' rapid march. Historically, our army was poorly equipped and lacked ammunition, but it was often able to defeat the enemy, the most famous of which was sports warfare. One of the reasons why the Red Army soldiers often launched a surprise attack at the most unlikely time and in the most unlikely place and instantly defeated the enemy was the unreasonable marching speed of our army.

Back then, walking more than 70 kilometers in 14 hours can be described as a miracle in military history.

Li Keji participated in the rapid march of the Red Army for the first time today, and he knew that this kind of rapid march was already a norm in the Red Army, and he really couldn't imagine how ordinary human beings in full armor could move forward in such a rapid movement.

According to the intelligence tips, Xiao Yintang chose Wang Panzi, ten miles away from Tiebian City, to block the enemy, because this is the enemy's only way, and there are two nearby slopes in the east and west to sandwich the white bandit army's northward road, which is the best place to ambush.

When they arrived at Wangpanzi, it was already night, and the soldiers of the 5th Company seized the time to build a defensive position, and the road was covered with anti-infantry mines with a length of 100 meters. Xiao Yintang likes these anti-infantry mines very much, and their lethality is many times stronger than the land mines made by the Red Army itself. It's just that although the mines are good, the installation and discharge are much more complicated than the original, and many things don't know what to do with the manual, and in the end it was Li Keji who helped to fill it.

Xiao Yintang likes the new equipment this time, but he can't use a lot of things and needs to be relearned. However, in order to better destroy the enemy, Xiao Yintang doesn't mind learning more things.

After setting up the position, the soldiers of the fifth company were able to breathe and took out military rations to replenish them. Speaking of this new type of military rations, the soldiers were very surprised, because this thing could heat itself, which was completely beyond their comprehension.

Although I don't know how this thing heats itself, the taste is very satisfying to many people, and most people have never eaten such a delicious thing in their lives. It's just that you can't eat too much of this thing, and after eating too much, you won't have the appetite to eat anything else for a day.

As with most new equipment, in order to avoid the soldiers not being able to use it, there are instructions on the military dry food, as long as you can read and write, you can get a warm and delicious meal by following the instructions.

It was not the first time that Xiao Yintang had eaten self-heating military food, and he was familiar with the road, and soon enjoyed the hot food on the battlefield that he had never dared to imagine in the past, and said to Li Keji beside him with emotion while eating: "Mr. Li, what is the principle of this self-heating food?" Just pour cold water into it, and with a cup of tea, all the food in the bag will be heated! ”

"Does Company Commander Xiao know about Lime?" In this era of backward science and education culture, Li Keji brought too many things that were ahead of the times, and it was no surprise that soldiers often asked him relevant questions. It's just that every time he explains, many soldiers shake their heads blankly, ignorant of the professional terms he says, and in the end, the more he explains, the more problems there are, and he hopes that the Central Red Army can carry out popular science education as soon as possible. Later, when someone asked him a question again, he simply used rhetorical questions to induce the soldiers to think for themselves, and the effect was not bad.

"Lime? I know this, and I often use it to paint the walls in my hometown. Does this have anything to do with food self-heating? Although Xiao Yintang doesn't like scholars who brush his lips very much, he is very interested in the knowledge that literati know, and in the face of Li Keji's rhetorical question, he is very humble in learning.

"The bag in the heating bag and the grocery bag are filled with lime particles, and when the lime particles meet with water, they heat up and release a lot of heat, which heats up the food in the food bag." Li Keji briefly explained the principle.

Listening to Li Keji's principle being so simple, Xiao Yintang said with great emotion: "So that's the case, why didn't I think of it!" Sure enough, the power of knowledge is endless! ”

After feeling the self-heating military rations, Xiao Yintang looked enviously at the rifle with a sniper scope next to Li Keji and said, "Mr. Li, I have been paying attention to your rifle for a long time, what is it loaded on?" It's very enjoyable to watch! ”

Li Keji didn't expect that he was also interested in the sniper rifle, so he put down the half-eaten ration in his hand and picked up the rifle and said: "This is called the Type 85 sniper rifle, a high-precision rifle specially used for accurate shooting and sniping at important targets of the enemy, what?" Do you like it? If you really like it, I'll send you one back. ”

"Is Mr. Li really going to give me this rifle?" Xiao Yintang was originally just curious, his favorite is all kinds of guns, and when he sees a new gun, he can't help but feel itchy, but he doesn't want Li Keji to open his mouth and say that he will give him one.

Seeing his happy appearance, Li Keji couldn't help but smile, and pretended to be very angry and said: "I, Li Keji, said that one is one, and two is two, how could I lie to you!" It's just that if you want to play this sniper rifle well, it's best to learn sniper tactics, and Company Commander Xiao has to be prepared to spend more time learning. ”

"What's there to be afraid of studying? What our Red Army pays attention to is active study, and if you don't understand, you have to ask. After getting the confirmation, Xiao Yintang was even more overjoyed.

After eating, the warriors seized the rest of the time to rest in preparation for the upcoming battle. If it was before, fighting in such a cold environment, the soldiers could only snuggle up to each other to keep warm. After changing their clothes, they can hardly feel the cold in their new military uniforms, and there is something called a water jacket when they rest at night, as long as people drill into it, they are not afraid of any cold wind.

Although the soldiers of the Fifth Company had long known that the pampered White Bandit Army rarely marched at night, the usual guards were not at all less, and half of the soldiers were always vigilant every time they changed the guard and rested.

As the commander of the army, Xiao Yintang has never rested, Li Keji, who was on the side, was very unbearable, and finally couldn't help but say in the middle of the night: "Company Commander Xiao, you have to organize a battle tomorrow, why don't you rest for a while?" ”

Regarding Li Keji's question, Xiao Yintang felt a little strange, rubbed his cold and stiff cheeks and said, "I am the commander and instructor of the Fifth Company, how can I rest at this time?" What if the white bandit cavalry rushes over at this time? But Mr. Li, why don't you rest, since the regiment commander wants me to guarantee your safety, you must listen to me on this battlefield. ”

Li Keji didn't expect that he was originally persuading Xiao Yintang to rest, so he turned to Xiao Yintang and ordered him to rest, so he said with a wry smile: "Company Commander Xiao, my family has a secret health regimen, you only need ten minutes of deep sleep a day, you can't do this, you still go to rest, I'll help you watch." ”

"Mr. Li, don't fool me, what is the health regimen in this era, we Datong only believe in science." Although Xiao Yintang is only 21 years old, he is an old Red Army, he participated in the Daye Rebellion at the age of 15, and is deeply educated by the culture of the Datong Party, so he naturally does not believe Li Keji's nonsense.

Li Keji's strengthened body really only needs ten minutes of deep sleep, in order to find a plausible reason for himself, he blindly made up a family heirloom health preservation technique, seeing that Xiao Yintang didn't believe it, he didn't force it. Today, he could see the will of a grassroots officer of the Red Army, and knew that he could not persuade him to rest, so he had no choice but to give up.

Xiao Yintang couldn't rest, Li Keji didn't have to rest, and the two stayed up until dawn under the cold wind.

When the first rays of sunlight appeared on the ground, the forward scouts sent out to report that the White Bandit cavalry had left the city and would soon be in ambush position.

After hearing the news, Xiao Yintang immediately issued an order to prepare for battle, and personally inspected various positions, checking the situation on the one hand, and encouraging morale on the other. The soldiers of the Fifth Company had never eaten hot food on the battlefield, nor had they had the opportunity to rest well before the battle, and the morale of the army was much higher than before, and many people were eager to let the White Bandit Army see the new weapons that had just been replaced.

The wait is always long, even if it is a minute and a second, it seems like a year. What Li Keji hated most in the past was waiting, so he lacked a kind of perseverance and perseverance in everything, and often gave up after not holding on for much time. This time it was on the battlefield, even if he was impatient, he didn't dare to pick his son and leave as usual.

Li Keji didn't know how long he had been waiting, it seemed like a cup of tea, and it seemed like half a century, just as he was getting more and more anxious, the figure of the white bandit army finally appeared in the sniper scope.

Seeing the enemy appear, Li Keji silently counted the men and horses with only one platoon, presumably the reconnaissance unit of the White Bandit Army. It's just a matter of looking at their nonchalant looks, and to hell if they want to spot something.

The task of the Fifth Company is to stop the enemy rather than destroy the enemy, so it does not mind disturbing the White Bandit Army, and it would be best if they could mistakenly think that the Fifth Company was the main force of the Red Army, so that with the situation that the White Bandit Army was greedy for life and afraid of death, the soldiers of the White Bandit Army would definitely not be willing to risk death to charge, so they could delay longer.

When the cavalry of the White Bandit Army entered the firing range, Xiao Yintang did not rush to order the gun, but waited for the cavalry of the White Bandit Army to trigger the anti-infantry mine before ordering the gun.

For a time, dozens of automatic firearms opened fire at the same time, and bullets were sprinkled at the white bandit cavalry like splashing water, and the white bandit army, who was overly frightened by the mines, immediately became more and more chaotic, and before they could react, they turned into dozens of corpses.
