Southern Hebei, Qinghe County.

On the afternoon of the fourth day after the assembly order was issued, Lu Xiufeng's 3rd Regiment Guard Company, Li Qinglong's death battalion, and Huang Baocheng's 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion were all returned, as Yue Weihan and Liu Yi expected, the Baoshan Brigade had expanded to more than 40,000 people, not counting Li Yulong's reading group!

At the same time, the Special Operations Brigade reported that the 8th Brigade had arrived in Nangong County.

At this time, Yue Weihan was faced with two choices: one was to gather all the 6,000 veterans of the Baoshan Brigade and form an army alone, and with these 6,000 veterans, he could also kill the reading power and mix it into the 8th Brigade; The second is to break up the 6,000 veterans, organize them into various units, and then use the veterans to lead the new recruits, and mix them with the reading power to form the 8th Brigade Wheel Battle, and finally consume them.

Although the first option could eliminate the Yue army in a short period of time, it was contrary to Yue Weihan's original intention.

After discussing with Liu Yi, Yue Weihan temporarily organized the more than 40,000 officers and soldiers of the Baoshan Brigade into 16 reading regiments, and the more than 6,000 veterans of the original Baoshan Brigade were evenly distributed to each reading regiment, supplemented by local armed forces, and the total strength of each reading regiment was about 2,500 people, which was almost the size of a type A regiment.

By the evening of the same day, the troops had already been reorganized.

Yue Weihan immediately summoned the 16 regiment commanders to the brigade headquarters to assign combat missions.

Liu Yi pointed to the map and said: "This is Chuiyang Town, about sixty miles away from Qinghe County, the 1st to 12th regiments are set up on the sixty-mile-long highway one by one, and a defensive line is set up every five miles, blocking layer by layer, and the remaining four regiments are acting separately in platoons, responsible for flank cover and disturbing operations, do you understand?" ”

"Understood." Sixteen regimental commanders agreed with a bang.

Liu Yi nodded, and turned his gaze to Yue Weihan again.

Yue Weihan got up slowly, and said Sen Ran: "I just want to say one thing, don't forget that you are soldiers!" It's the middle [***] people! ”

"Yes!" Sixteen regiment commanders raised their heads at the same time and responded loudly, "We are soldiers, and we are Chinese [***] people!" ”

Yue Weihan nodded, and waved his hand coldly: "Execute the order." ”

The ten regiment commanders immediately took the order and left, and in less than a moment, sixteen figures disappeared outside the war room.

Liu Yi's face suddenly became extremely solemn, and he said to Yue Weihan: "Luzao, are you thinking about it again?" ”

"No need." Yue Weihan shook his head coldly and said, "We don't have time to wait for them to grow slowly, a frontal attack may cause heavy casualties, especially the first few regiments, the slightest carelessness will wipe out the entire army, but we have no choice, because only the most tragic war can make this rabble grow rapidly!" ”

Liu Yi sighed and said quietly: "Alas, how good would it be if we had enough time? ”

…………

The sun was rising, and the long night was finally over.

Ten miles east of Nangong County, there is a lush sorghum land on the right side of the road.

The old waiters and a platoon were quietly ambushed in the sorghum field, their beards and eyebrows already wet by the morning dew, and it was clear that they had been lying in ambush for hours.

The old man is a veteran of the Baoshan Brigade, before joining the Baoshan Brigade, he was a senior soldier of the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps, with three years of military experience, although he did not participate in the defense of the Sixing warehouse, but participated in the Battle of Jingjiang, the Battle of Yangzhou, the Battle of Jiangpu and the Battle of Xuzhou, the devil soldiers who died in his hands also had a platoon.

The breeze blows, and the green bud leaves slap and rustle with each other.

Lao Wait lowered his head slightly, and locked on the road three hundred meters ahead through the quadruple telescope mounted on the rifle, in addition to being a veteran of a hundred battles, Lao Wait was also an excellent sniper.

The black dog next to him asked in a low voice, "Sir, can you do it if it's so far away?" ”

Black Dog is a believer in Shiguan Dao in Guangzong County, and it has been less than half a month since he joined the Baoshan Brigade.

"Hush." Lao Wait pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "This distance is a ball?" At the Xuzhou Railway Station, Lao Tzu once sniped to death a young officer of the little devil 600 meters away. ”

"Really?" The black dog said expectantly, "That little devil must have died a miserable death, right?" ”

"What else do you need to say?" The old man said a little proudly, "A shot hit the heart directly, the little devil fell to the ground and convulsed for a while before he broke his breath, and the brigade heard that I sniped the little devil's young officer, and directly rewarded twenty oceans, hehe, when I have saved enough fifty oceans, Lao Tzu can go back to his hometown to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

"Sir, you're amazing." The black dog's face was full of adoration.

"Nothing." Lao Wait said coldly, "When you fight a few more battles, it won't be worse than Lao Tzu." ”

After saying this, the old man's face suddenly changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Silence, the little devil is here." ”

When the black dog and the others next to him hurriedly looked out through the gap in the bud leaves, they saw that a crowd of black pressure had appeared on the distant horizon, and they were slowly driving along the road towards this side.

The old man immediately pulled the bolt of the gun and loaded the bullet, and at the same time shouted without raising his head: "Prepare for battle!" ”

The more than 30 stragglers hidden around hurriedly pulled the bolt of the gun and pushed the bullet into loading, and those who did not have a gun hurriedly put the melon grenade in front of them, and when they finished doing this, and then looked at the road a few miles away, their faces had become very embarrassed, and their eyes were a little dull, nothing else, too nervous!

…………

On the highway thirty miles away from the county seat of Nangong, Tang Dashan was leading a company to lay mines.

Hundreds of pits have been dug along the nearly 200-metre-long section, but less than 30 have been mined, and the rest are empty.

Tang Dashan had just arranged a tripping thunderbolt, but when he looked up, he saw Wang Erxi hurriedly running into the grass on the side of the road, and immediately asked, "Xizi, what are you doing in a hurry?" ”

Wang Erxi said with a bitter face: "Yingzuo, I have a stomach." ”

"Tummy?" Tang Dashan suddenly rolled his eyes and pointed to one of the empty earth pits, "Pull here." ”

"Huh? Just pull this? Wang Erxi suddenly felt a little embarrassed, how embarrassing is it to barefoot on this big road?

Tang Dashan didn't care about this, and immediately raised his head and said to the other officers and soldiers: "Who else is in a hurry?" Big and small, all pulled in the pit, this is an order, it must be executed! ”

Tang Dashan gave an order, and forty or fifty people began to get busy.

There are so many of them that the big guy doesn't feel ashamed to work naked.

Tang Dashan called Zhao Tiehammer to him again and asked, "Tiehammer, don't you have a few mousetraps?" ”

"That's right." Zhao Tieshu nodded and said, "Yingzuo, why are you asking this?" Want to catch wild rats to satisfy your hunger? ”

"A wild mouse who catches a ball, I want to catch a little devil!" Tang Dashan didn't have a good breath and said, "Bury all your mouse traps in the pit, and kill the little devil of the dog for Lao Tzu." ”

In less than a few moments, all the holes had been filled.

Zhao Tiehammer wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked Tang Dashan: "Camp, withdraw?" ”

"Pull off the fart." Tang Dashan didn't have a good breath, "There are still the most important steps that have not been completed." ”

"What?" Zhao Tiezhui said with a puzzled face, "All the mines that should be buried have already been buried?" ”

Tang Dashan stretched out his hand and pointed to the two "cannonballs" on the side of the road, and said with a cruel smile: "Look, what is that?" ”

"Isn't this the shell of the 92nd Infantry Cannon?" Zhao Tiezhu was puzzled, "It's also a mine?" ”

"Nonsense, why didn't I take them with me if they weren't mines?" Tang Dashan said that he asked Zhao Tiehammer to carry the modified mine, and walked forward with a dozen soldiers for at least 500 meters, and then ordered the soldiers to dig two large pits two meters apart in the middle of the road, and buried a modified mine, and finally used fine hemp rope to make a tripping mine.

After finishing these, Tang Dashan ordered the soldiers to set up a wooden board half a meter away, and then picked up black charcoal and wrote on the wooden board, "Uncle Tang is clever, the little devil is buried here" Fourteen big black characters of "Dragon Flying Phoenix Dance", and after writing, he added a big exclamation mark at the end, and then walked away satisfied.

Hang out the town.

Cao Xinglong's 1st Reading Regiment was building field fortifications outside the town.

Cao Xinglong completely inherited the essence of Yue Weihan's tactical thinking of "echelon arrangement and layer by layer fortification", and also paid great attention to protecting the flank position, the 1st Regiment of Reading Force had a total of four battalions, in addition to leaving one battalion as a reserve and one battalion to protect the flank, the remaining two battalions dug eight main trenches along the road with companies as units!

At this time, Cao Xinglong was patrolling the position in the dusty with his riding boots and pinching his horsewhip.

"Bunnies, sweat more at this time, and you will be able to bleed less when you fight!"

"You, how did you build this fortification? How can a frart collapse a cargo, how can it resist the shelling of the little devil? ”

"Damn, you call it an anti-artillery hole? Can you squat in? Tear down and dig again! If you don't dig well, you can't eat! ”

"Blind bear, you're a fucking veteran, how can you look like a rookie egg? This can also be considered a heavy machine gun fortification? Two small-caliber grenades can send you to the western sky! Go to the town and tear down two door panels, put two bunkers on top, and put sandbags on top of them! ”

"Beard, you guys have a good platoon, and the fortifications you repair are quite like that."

"Meng bandits, the guard position has to move forward again, another fifty meters!"

"Kuroko, your traffic trench is too shallow, why are you going to walk on your knees? Two feet deeper! ”

"It's all for Lao Tzu, don't be lazy! If the fortifications are not built well, and the cannonballs of the little devils fall, you will be the ones who will suffer! It's nothing to suffer a little loss in a fight, just find the field next time, but this is a battlefield, and if you suffer a loss, you will lose your life, and you will never have the next chance! ”

Cao Xinglong frowned and shook his head while inspecting the position.

What the fuck does this look like a regular army? It's simply a rabble.

Let's not talk about whether we can fight a war, just talking about repairing fortifications is too fucking infuriating.

This rabble is really far behind the old 1st regiment! If it were to be replaced by the old 1st Regiment, a complete field fortification would have been built long ago, and if the little devil did not have a field artillery group, he would not want to pass over his position.
