The location of Group 6, Taiping Temple.

The referee team leader withdrew his gaze from the direction in which the eight Red Army scouts had disappeared, looked at the seven Blue Army scouts lying on the ground with their hands and feet tied behind their backs and gagged mouths, forced a laugh, and ordered his two assistants to untie them immediately.

Some of the more than 100 members of the officer corps who watched the excitement covered their mouths and laughed, some talked in low voices, and more people still looked at the direction in which the Red Army scouts had disappeared, and were amazed by the superb skills of the Red Army brothers, who were even more satisfied with the strange costumes and many equipment on the Red Army brothers.

The colonel's referee team leader was surprised by the Red officers and men's ability to defeat the enemy and the speed of action; from the beginning to the end, he did not hear a loud noise, let alone a gunshot, and the seven captured Blue soldiers were carried by the Red officers and men who could not see their faces clearly, and only the short and young leading officer of the Red Army saluted him, gave a brief report, and left in a blink of an eye after receiving an effective answer to the attack.

At 5:40, the last team of the four reconnaissance teams sent by the Blue Army was also judged to be out, and the Blue Army still did not find the whereabouts of the Red Army, and the Red Army suddenly disappeared after a series of attacks like ghosts, so frightened that Huang Meixing immediately ordered all units to stop advancing and get closer to Wujialing, where they were.

When the news came, there was an uproar on the mountain.

Who would have thought that two battalions of the Second Guard Regiment, which were well-equipped, three times the enemy's size, and nearly half of the officers and men were the elite of the whole army, and had also experienced the Songhu war against Japan and the encirclement and suppression operations in southern Jiangnan, would lose four reconnaissance teams composed of 32 elite soldiers when the exercise was only two hours and 40 minutes underway?

Who would have thought that a local security force from the border area of western Zhejiang would have such strong combat effectiveness and strange tactical execution capabilities

Many generals naturally flashed in their minds the scenes of the four failed encirclement and suppression battles, and began to worry about the fate of the Blue Army.

At 6:40 p.m., the referee teams distributed in various positions in the exercise area reported the following:

"The main force of the Red Army appeared in the valley below Leopard Rock 1.5 kilometers northwest of the Blue Army, and after the officers and men ran out of dry food, they put away the radio station, and it seemed that they had completed contact with the commander of the Red Army to see the situation, and then they slowly advanced covertly in the northeast and southeast directions along the undulating ravines and under the cover of dense forests."

"And a company of the Red Army, which was circumnavigating south along the foot of Lingxiao Mountain, stopped advancing north of Yangjiadun, which was only one peak away from Wujialing, and lurked in place."

Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Cheng on the viewing platform looked at each other, and they both knew very well in their hearts that even if the blue army shrank and assembled, it would not be able to get rid of the fate of being passively beaten until the end

Chiang Kai-shek looked up at the sky and whispered to Chen Cheng:

"This Wu Ming's tactics are really unexpected, he first made the Second Guard Regiment blind, and then hid and did not move, obviously forcing Huang Meixing and others to bear huge psychological pressure, and bear the humiliation brought to them by the Red Army in front of everyone, and then prompted Huang Meixing and them to take the lead in making a choice"

"As long as Huang Meixing and them move, it is inevitable that they will show flaws, and today is cloudy, it is almost dark, it is estimated that Wu Ming's department is good at night battles, as long as there is a night battle, Huang Meixing's advantage in strength will be offset by the darkness, if you make a mistake, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck."

Chen Cheng was both happy and worried, in the face of Chiang Kai-shek, he really didn't know what to say, he moved his mouth, and finally reluctantly squeezed out a sentence: "Let's go down to eat first, it is estimated that the two sides will not fight in a short time." ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded: "This Wu Ming is very patient, and he is not afraid of wasting time, the person who is in a hurry is not him, it is Huang Meixing." ”

After Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, he took the initiative to walk to a group of German advisers who were discussing nervously on the other side, and when Verzell saw Chiang Kai-shek smiling, he immediately stood up to meet him, and just wanted to say a few words of experience, when an excited voice came from the speaker again:

"The new situation suddenly broke out in a fierce exchange of fire between the red and blue sides, and a company on the Red Army's North Road was discovered when it was covertly approaching the assembly site of the Blue Army, and the Blue Army reacted quickly, in addition to the two companies resolutely engaged in the battle, there were three companies that were rapidly assembling and were estimated to rush to the battlefield. At present, both sides are concentrating their firepower on each other, and the terrain occupied by the Red Army is more favorable, and there are signs of alternate cover for the infantry retreat. ”

Without a loudspeaker, the dense gunfire and grenade explosions that shook the valley had already reached the ears of Chiang Kai-shek and others, and Chiang Kai-shek and Verzell did not have time to speak, so they immediately returned to their respective positions and raised their binoculars to observe nervously.

He Guoguang, who was a little uncertain about the battle situation, stopped Chen Cheng and whispered in his ear: "Cixiu, what do you think?" ”

Chen Cheng pondered for a long time: "The sudden fierce exchange of fire is very strange...... With the younger brother's understanding of Wu Ming, he shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake, he had already grasped the initiative and taken the opportunity step by step, why was he so uncontrollable? He wouldn't be unaware that his opponent's strength and firepower were several times that of him."

He Guoguang immediately came to his senses: "It's so dangerous, if you hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid I would have made a mistake."

Chen Cheng pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Brother also thinks this is Wu Ming's trick?" ”

He Guoguang nodded: "It's very likely that this is the case...... It's getting dark, if the Blues can't hold their breath, I'm afraid they will suffer a big loss, but I don't know how Wu Ming will fight next? ”

Chen Cheng pointed to the place in the southwest where the sound of gunfire was intensive: "The place of engagement is the foot of Wujialing North Road, the terrain is relatively gentle, but relatively narrow, it is very difficult to quickly break away from the estimate after the exchange of fire, so there are two possibilities: First, if the Red Army does not deliberately expose its whereabouts, most of them will quickly retreat to the foot of Zhishan Mountain, which has a complex terrain in the north, occupy the dominant terrain and condescending, hold it for an hour without any problems, and give full play to their marching advantages after dark, climb over the hillside to leave the battlefield, rest and start all over again, Because it takes about an hour for the Blues to mobilize mortars and light and heavy weapons; Second, if the Red Army did it on purpose, then another company lurking at the foot of the southwest mountain of Wujialing would be the protagonist of this battle, but the younger brother could not guess how to fight. ”

At this moment, Wu Ming had quietly returned to the middle of the main company, led the brothers to directly cross Wujialing, and quickly approached the Blue Army headquarters set up at the foot of Dongshan.

Just as Chen Cheng had speculated, the 150 officers and men of the engineer company did not break away from the battle, but withdrew to Zhishan in the north by means of alternate cover.

It was only at this time that the five surrounding referee teams caught up with each other, and the more than 600 cadets of the officer corps who followed the referee group arrived in a procession, standing on the edge of the battle area, looking out with their necks, excited, exchanging views with each other from time to time, and predicting the outcome of the battle.

To the east of Wujialing, at the foot of the mountain, in the headquarters.

Judging from the map, it was difficult for the Red Army to retreat to the steep peak of 400 meters above sea level, and in order to prevent Wu Ming's troops from breaking their arms to survive, leaving a condescending and stubborn resistance to cover most of their troops from fleeing the battlefield from the col in the west, Huang Meixing decisively ordered a company of reserves to reinforce the front line, and then instructed the guard platoon to pack up the radio and map, and move the headquarters to the edge of the battle 1.2 kilometers in front of it, so that it could command nearby.

Wu Ming and one hundred and twenty officers and soldiers, who had already been prostrate on the mountainside, were waiting for this fleeting opportunity, and almost at the same time as Huang Meixing sent a reserve, Wu Ming led his troops to quietly descend the mountain, not only quickly subdued the two alert sentries who were absent-mindedly preparing to retreat, but also approached the Blue Army headquarters that was hurriedly packing up and preparing to move.

The team leader of the two groups of referees was very familiar with Huang Meixing, seeing that there was no situation, the referees wearing white armbands were laughing and laughing with Huang Meixing and others, and one of the lieutenant colonels was still sighing that Wu Ming couldn't hold his breath, but he didn't expect to be suddenly knocked out of the air by an elite of the Red Army who pounced at high speed.

Huang Meixing, who was shocked, subconsciously pulled out his gun, but the muzzle of a black hole was already on his eyebrows, and Wu Ming's hateful smiling face clearly appeared in front of him.

Wu Ming said sorry, put away his pistol, glanced at the more than forty blue officers and soldiers who were completely subdued by his brothers, and walked up to the two referees and saluted:

"We intend to lay mines, and then send a platoon carrying captured machine guns and four mortars to launch a round of fierce strikes from behind the main forces of the enemy who are attacking our troops to lure the enemy, and then quickly retreat and lead the enemy who has come to the rescue knowing that the command is in distress into the minefield, and then besiege it on three sides after the mines explode."

The referee immediately understood, and the head of the referee team, the highest-ranking lieutenant colonel, asked Wu Ming: "Where did you get the mines?" ”

Wu Ming took out four grenades from the side of his combat vest, skillfully tied them together, walked to several ammunition boxes outside the tent, directly put the cluster grenades under the ammunition boxes, and pinned the pull ring to the extra rope pulling the tent.

Several referees were taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Wu Ming, and the lieutenant colonel team leader shouted: "We believe it, you must not mess around, you will die"

Another said loudly: "The command of the Blues has been terminated, and this battle can be declared over...... Chief Wu, let your brothers let go of the captured brothers, and I'll report to the chief arbitrator when I go. ”

Huang Mei roared angrily: "No, how can we fail? We still have two battalions of troops, and there is absolutely no way to fail. ”

The referee who ran to call didn't pay attention to how Huang Meixing shouted, and the lieutenant colonel's referee team leader explained with a smile: "Commander Huang, your command headquarters is gone, how can you fight this battle?" If Regiment Commander Wu really planted mines to bring your troops here, what do you think of the consequences? ”

Huang Meixing glared at Wu Ming in annoyance, Wu Ming smiled and hugged his fists to sincerely apologize.

A lantern was hung on the mountain, illuminating the stunned faces of the generals who were watching from afar, and they didn't seem to believe the news that the Blue Army headquarters was destroyed and the commander was captured alive.

Chen Cheng, who was in a complicated mood, clearly heard Chiang Kai-shek scolding "Niang Xipi", and immediately dispelled the idea of stepping forward to say a few good words.

Fortunately, Chiang Kai-shek quickly calmed down, gave the exercise a high evaluation, and then politely invited the German adviser Verzell to go down the mountain with him, listening to Verzel's surprise and objective evaluation as he walked, and finally remembered the name in his heart - Wu Ming
