In the village along the lake under the cover of night, the temporary headquarters of the vanguard of the red side was stationed, and there was a tense atmosphere in the air.

Feng Shengfa was very anxious now, although he was very reluctant in his heart, but judging from the telegram quietly transmitted by the exercise headquarters to the blue side's troop movements, a large net had been silently spread, and the targets were the Chairman's Guard under his command and the special service group and guard regiment directly under the Central Military Commission.

At this time, Feng Shengfa could no longer care about the dignity of the Imperial Forest Army, and quickly convened a meeting of the guards head Liu Yuanlin, the head of the special service group Shi Zude and other generals to discuss countermeasures.

After reading the telegram in turn, the generals and colonels of the Chairman's Guard and the guard regiment and the special service regiment directly under the Central Military Commission were in an uproar, and they all felt that it was unlikely, because their own troops could no longer hold on to the continuous march and combat for more than 30 hours, but the blue side had to constantly intersperse in the same time, and this not only required a complete grasp of the terrain, but also the timing of the matter was just right, and it was a difficult task to accomplish no matter how you look at it.

Some people even bluntly said that this may be Wu Ming's suspicious strategy, and the main purpose is to force himself to withdraw on his own initiative, so as to achieve the effect of surrendering without a fight. If you really withdraw your troops in such a gloomy way, I am afraid that you will become the laughing stock of others.

Seeing that everyone's opinions were still unified, Feng Shengfa gritted his teeth hatefully and shouted loudly: "This is the action plan reported by the blue side to the exercise headquarters, is there any fake?" Let's retreat."

Feng Shengfa's arbitrariness was equivalent to taking all the responsibilities on his shoulder, and all the generals and colonels attending the meeting kept their mouths shut, and in a short quarter of an hour, the remaining 2,900 officers and men of the two regiments and the chairman's guard set off.

Feng Shengfa was the last to evacuate the lakeside village, he glanced at the Lotus Mountain in the distance, and the shame and chagrin in his heart had completely disappeared.

In general, Feng Shengfa is an orthodox soldier, the stronger the opponent, the higher his fighting spirit, just like the ancient swordsman who persistently pursued martial arts, Wu Mingbu's strong combat effectiveness made Feng Shengfa at this time have a feeling of meeting an opponent in chess, if he can defeat such an opponent, it is enough to comfort his military career.

Feng Shengfa made up his mind, after retreating to the tip of the wind tunnel, he must sum up well, he must not repeat the mistakes of the past, and he must return the humiliation he has suffered to his opponent in the next attack.

As night fell, Feng Shengfa's department gradually disappeared among the undulating hills, and the officers and soldiers of the first brigade and a regiment of sharp knife companies fell far behind Feng Shengfa's department, and Zhang Ying, the chief of staff of the brigade who led the team, beckoned, and Fang Shengde, the commander of the sharp knife company, ran over and saluted Zhang Ying.

Zhang Ying waved her hand, signaling Fang Shengde to take it easy, and said with a smile: "You have behaved very well, but whether you can make dumplings for the escaped Feng Shengfa Department depends on whether you can delay their steps next." How's it going, after seven hours of rest, have you recovered your spirits? ”

"Restored, guaranteed to complete the task"

Fang Shengde was upright and had a serious face.

Pointing to the man beside him with a somewhat restrained expression, Zhang Ying continued: "You also know that it was this fellow who led you to discover the path in the back mountain with three platoons and made up for the loopholes in the defense line of Lotus Mountain in time, otherwise, the second regiment may suffer a big loss." He was a hunter in this area, and he was very familiar with the nearby terrain, and he knew that there was a shortcut in the road to get to the front of Feng Shengfa's department and block their retreat."

When Zhang Ying said this, she turned around and took out five pieces of ocean stuff again and gave them to the shy man, and said with a smile: "Fellow, please help us again." ”

"No, no...... You've given me so much...... I...... I don't want to ......"

The middle-aged man hurriedly excused himself, but he couldn't shirk Zhang Ying's kindness, so he reluctantly picked up the ocean and carefully put it in his personal purse. After collecting the money, he nodded gratefully to Zhang Ying, then turned around and yelled: "Follow me"

After saying that, this man was like a cheetah, burrowing into the dense forest in front of him with vigor, and his speed and strength were all first-class excellent, which surprised the sharp knife and even the commander Fang Shengde.

Fang Shengde waved his hand, and soon the two platoons of nearly 100 officers and soldiers rushed into the dense forest in front of them together, only to hear the "rustling" footsteps quickly moving away.

For the officers and men of the two platoons of the 1st Brigade and the 1st Regiment of the Sharp Knife Company, who were responsible for blocking the enemy, the time was very tight and the task was very urgent, and Lu Kuiyuan, who had made a military order from the division commander Wu Ming, was even more anxious.

The commander of the guard battalion directly under the new Second Division, with two spy companies and a guard company, covered them with gauze and illuminated them with flashlights, and forcibly marched all the way.

Lei Yan, the commander of the Second Guards Company, was an exception, and he kept jumping up and down in the marching queue, constantly boosting the morale of the officers and men.

You must know that the training intensity of the guard company has not been as good as that of the two spy companies, and this time he followed the spy company to act together, which Lei Yan desperately won from Lu Kuiyuan, and at this time, the officers and soldiers of the second guard company all used their strength to eat, and they all blushed and had thick necks, desperately keeping up with the pace of the officers and soldiers of the special service company in front.

The blue side was located in the headquarters of Lianhu Village, and after the task was issued, Wu Ming announced the adjournment of the meeting and asked the commanders of each unit to go back and arrange it by themselves.

Subsequently, Wu Ming ordered the headquarters to be moved forward to Huyan Village, which had just been abandoned by the Red Side.

Chief of Staff Zhang Dongning asked with some concern: "Division, the division headquarters is so close to the preset battlefield, will there be any danger?"

"Don't be afraid"

Wu Ming waved his hand disapprovingly, and said: "The enemy's whereabouts are under our close surveillance, and we are not afraid that they will kill a horse gun at all. ”

"Besides, the soldiers are desperately working in front, and we, the commanders, are hiding far behind, so what do others think? After the last day, the Japanese invasion was imminent, and the situation on the battlefield was complex and changeable, and if the commanders could not have a good understanding of the current situation on the battlefield, they would inevitably suffer a great loss."

"Oh well"

Zhang Dongning was relieved, but in a blink of an eye, he thought of a question again, and hurriedly said: "Division, just now the first brigade and the second brigade competed for the main attack, why do you want the second brigade to grab the position of the main attack?" The first brigade has won successive battles, and now its morale is high, but it can be drummed but not leaked."

Wu Ming smiled slightly and explained: "The First Brigade is now quite tired after continuous marching and fighting, on the contrary, the Second Brigade arrived at the edge of the battlefield at nine o'clock in the morning, and has rested for eight hours now, and has already recuperated enough, and at this time the attack will definitely be able to exert its full strength; Secondly, the combat effectiveness of the Second Brigade is still slightly inferior to that of the First Brigade, and at this time, it is just the right time to exercise, after all, the Second Brigade will have to take on a major task in the future. ”

Zhang Dongning nodded in relief.

Although the 1st Brigade, the 2nd Brigade and even the Supplementary Brigade were all created by Wu Ming, in terms of comprehensive strength, Luo Yuming's 1st Brigade still dominates. In this case, if the Second Brigade does not sharpen itself, I am afraid that the gap with the First Brigade will widen and widen.

Outside the headquarters, Luo Yuming, the commander of the first brigade, was a little distracted, he never expected that this time his two regiments had moved to the front line of the Lotus Mountain Heights, and one of the regiments had rested for five or six hours, but it was grabbed by Yang Sixian's second brigade, which came later, to seize the main attack position.

Luo Yuming felt a faint sense of loss in his heart, but Wu Ming's order had already been issued, and he knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless, so he couldn't help but sigh a long sigh.

"Smack-"

Someone behind him slapped his shoulder suddenly, and Luo Yuming turned his head angrily to see that it was Yang Sixian's triumphant dark face.

Luo Yuming pursed his lips and said angrily: "Yu what? Yang Heipi, you kid is not in a hurry to rush back, make good arrangements, beware that you can't complete the task, and the division commander will pick your skin when you turn around."

Yang Sixian couldn't help but smile, waved his hand indifferently, and said, "The teacher is not like you, be careful."

"Hey, who are you talking about being careful?" Luo Yuming was no longer angry.

Yang Sixian tilted his head, glanced at Luo Yuming, and said sourly: "When did your first brigade fight the main attack, and now that our second brigade has taken the main attack position once, you are indignant?" ”

"Who is psychologically unbalanced? Yang Heipi, you kid have to make your words clear" Luo Yuming blushed and argued thickly.

"Yo, what are you arguing about next to the division headquarters? If the division commander sees it, maybe let you go to squatting and confinement, and see what kind of face you have to face your subordinates."

A colonel officer interjected between the two men, interrupting the argument between the two.

Yang Sixian looked around weakly when he heard this, and explained: "Who quarreled?" Luo and I were discussing offensive strategies...... Yin Dizhong, don't talk nonsense, you kid."

Although the supplementary brigade dispatched only one regiment of officers and men in this exercise, in order to experience the atmosphere of the battlefield, Yin Dizhong rushed to Yushan from the site of the construction of national defense fortifications in northeastern Zhejiang before the exercise began.

Luo Yuming's face tightened, with a helpless expression: "That's right, Brigade Commander Yang and I are discussing the battle situation...... The war is about to start, and all departments are racing against time, who still has the heart to quarrel? ”

Yin Dizhong smiled: "It's good if it's not noisy"

This time, Yin Dizhong is purely here to fight soy sauce, and the only regiment under his command that participates in the battle is currently directly inserting into the junction of the red forward force and the main force, as long as it can hold on, it can be regarded as contributing its due strength.

"Okay, I won't tell you, I'll go first" Luo Yuming snorted and walked away like a fly

Looking at Luo Yuming's back, Yang Sixian seemed to have won a battle.

Since the expansion of the Fifth Regiment of the Zhejiang Army under the command of Wu Ming, the troops led by Yang Sixian have always been pressed by Luo Yuming's department, and this time, it is finally raised - the division commander Wu Ming must have seen the strength of the Second Brigade, so he named the Second Brigade to take on the main attack.

has always been in Yang Sixian's heart, his troops are no worse than Luo Yuming, but every time Luo Yuming gets a good task, this makes others form a stronger idea, this time we must show it well, so that everyone understands that the second brigade is also a well-known force.

Yang Sixian hurriedly said goodbye to Yin Dizhong, the big war was about to start, and he wanted to go back to plan well, and strive to fight a clean and neat war of annihilation.
