Chapter 40: Before the War

The night owls heard the sound of firefights coming from Chen Village from time to time, so they hurried over. They originally wanted to help, but after reconnaissance, they found that although the main force of the devils had left, there were many who remained in Chen Village. Just because the six of them rushed forward to die, it was unrealistic to rescue the comrades-in-arms of Chen Village.

One of the fighters said, "Squadron leader, why don't we ride our horses again!" As long as the devils are in chaos, the brothers inside may be able to take the opportunity to escape! ”

The night owl shook his head and said, "The terrain of this village is complicated, and it is not suitable for cavalry charges. Besides, the devil is now so tightly defended, the six of us can't rush in at all. ”

Another fighter said, "What can I do then?" There were still guns going on inside, and there must have been brothers trapped inside. ”

The night owl thought for a moment and said, "Even a few of us will definitely not be able to save them, so we have to transfer the third and fourth squadrons." Without further ado, let's split up now. Hopefully, the brothers in the village will hold out until reinforcements arrive. ”

The warriors hurriedly asked, "What if the brethren can't hold on?" ”

The night owl sighed and said, "Do your best, see the will of heaven!" ”

At this time, everyone had no choice but to agree. The night owl quickly assigned the task, and the six of them were divided into three routes, reporting to the regiment headquarters, the third squadron, and the fourth squadron for help.

At this time, Zheng Weiguo was galloping along the official road with a platoon of guards. The regimental headquarters learned the news of the devil's invasion this morning, but it is still unknown how many troops the enemy has and what heavy equipment it has. Zheng Weiguo felt that it was not the right to sit and wait, so he simply led the guard platoon to search forward along the official road, preparing to risk the enemy so that he could observe.

To be honest, the devil's action caught the security team a little off guard, and Zheng Weiguo himself felt very passive. At the end of the day, he was just a special forces commander and lacked the experience to do it alone. Especially since the surrounding situation is so complicated, it is difficult to imagine before the crossing.

However, he is not entirely an afterthought. After a short meeting yesterday morning, the 1st Infantry Company and the newly formed Central Road Guerrilla Brigade drove to the line from Chenjiagou to Panjiaao. This is the most dangerous section of the official road from Tongping County to Ping'an County. Zheng Weiguo hoped to use the terrain here to inflict heavy casualties on the enemy and force the enemy to abandon his plan to occupy the county seat of Ping'an.

If this plan fails, or if the enemy forcibly rushes through Panjiaao regardless of casualties, then Zheng Weiguo will have no choice but to abandon Ping'an County. He still understands the truth that the land exists and people die, and people and land are lost.

They crossed Chenjiagou but still did not see the enemy, so they ran forward for a while. As he was running, he suddenly saw a soldier of the security regiment running desperately in this direction.

Zheng Weiguo saw a piece of dust rising from the official road in front of him, high and urgent, and hurriedly said: "Quick! The first squad occupied the high ground on the left, the second squad occupied the high ground on the right, and the third and fourth squads were ready for battle. ”

After this period of training, the soldiers of the guard platoon have greatly improved their tactical literacy. Zheng Weiguo gave an order, and the soldiers quickly completed the deployment in accordance with the tactics that they had practiced many times on weekdays.

At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves ahead. The warrior shook his voice and ran faster. But how can two legs outrun four legs? The devil's cavalry quickly turned around the bend in front.

Zheng Weiguo held a Czech light machine gun and shouted: "Lie down!" ”

After shouting twice, the warrior finally reacted, and threw himself forward, falling hard due to inertia. But at this time, I couldn't take care of it, because the devil cavalry behind had already raised their horse guns. Zheng Weiguo had jumped off the horse and stood on the road at this time, just in time to face the devil. Seeing the carbine pistol raised by the devil, he did not dodge, his eyes looked ahead, and calmly pulled the trigger.

Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, with the characteristic sound of the Czech light machine gun, several devil cavalrymen who were running in front fell on their backs. At the same time, the fighters of the first and second squads, who were moving on the heights on both sides, also opened fire. The devil's cavalry did not have time to react, and many people were killed and wounded on the spot. The front team was suddenly in chaos, and the horse team behind wanted to step forward but was blocked.

Zhang Changgui took the opportunity to take two soldiers and snatched the soldier back. The soldier was so tired that he was about to collapse, but when he saw Zheng Weiguo, he seemed to have strength again, and shouted loudly: "Tuanzao, be careful!" The devil has five or six hundred people this time, and there are cannons! ”

When everyone heard this, they were all taken aback, because they had never encountered such a powerful enemy before. Zheng Weiguo hurriedly handed over the command to Zhang Changgui, and then asked, "Is this news reliable?" Did you see it with your own eyes? ”

The soldier hurriedly said, "I saw it with my own eyes!" Five or six hundred devils lined up along the official road, and some of them were blocked and could not be seen. ”

Zheng Weiguo asked again: "What model of cannon are you talking about?" How big is the caliber? ”

The warrior was stunned for a moment, then said, "Well, I don't know what model it is. Oh, listening to the captain, it seems to be called the ninety-two style...... Hey, what's the ninety-two! ”

Zheng Weiguo was almost killed by him, and hurriedly said: "Is it a Type 92 infantry gun?" ”

The warrior nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes!" That's the name! ”

Zheng Weiguo asked again: "How many cannons are there?" Are there any other heavy weapons besides this cannon? ”

The warrior said, "There are two of them that I have seen." In addition to this play, it's a grenadier, a light and heavy machine gun or something. ”

Zheng Weiguo hurriedly asked: "Heavy machine gun!" Are you sure? ”

Probably, the tone was too harsh, and the fighters were frightened. He thought for a moment before he said, "I'm sure!" Significantly larger than a light machine gun, and there seem to be two of them! ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Two kinds? What are the models? What is the caliber? ”

The soldier shrank his neck and said, "I don't know what the model is, the caliber, the caliber or whatever, and I don't know the road." The captain didn't tell me either. He added, "The heavy machine guns were carried by four people, and the Type 92 was dragged upside down by the Yanmar." He gestured as he spoke.

Zheng Weiguo knew that he didn't understand these weapons, so he didn't dwell on this issue, and asked, "How many cavalry does the devil have?" ”

The warrior thought for a moment and said, "It's not much, less than a hundred horses, and we have killed a lot of them!" ”

Zheng Weiguo asked at the end: "Who sent you to report the news, and where is your captain now?" ”

The soldier said: "It was our captain who asked me to come, and the captain ...... him" The soldier almost cried when he spoke, and finally continued: "The captain was trapped in Chen Village in order to cover the transfer of the villagers!" Right now...... Woo...... I don't know if the road is dead or alive...... Woo......"

Zheng Weiguo felt a pain in his heart, thinking that since the devil had chased here, they were afraid that they had already sacrificed.

He was about to say something, when Zhang Changgui ran over and said, "Tuanzuo, the brothers on the hill report that they saw the devil's brigade rushing to this side, and suggested that we retreat quickly. ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "You take the third and fourth squads to attack forward, and cover the first and second squads to withdraw." Wait for them to come, let's quickly retreat! ”

Zhang Changgui answered and hurriedly commanded.

In this encounter just now, the security team reacted a beat faster than the devil and took the lead. Now the devil's cavalry has suffered heavy losses, and it is no longer able to hold back Zheng Weiguo and them. Zhang Changgui quickly completed the task, and also picked up two oceanic horses that had lost their owners on the edge of the official road.

Zheng Weiguo saw that the soldier was too tired to work, so he asked, "Can you still ride a horse?" ”

The warrior said yes, but he didn't climb up a few times. Zheng Weiguo had no choice but to let a few soldiers help him up, and arranged for a small soldier to ride with him. The Oriental horse is bigger than the Mongolian horse, and the strength is much greater, and although the two of them are a little heavier, they still have to run for a while. After everyone got on their horses, they quickly broke away from the battlefield, and they didn't stop in the middle, until they ran to the place where a company was ambushed.

At this time, the second and third companies, as well as a large number of militia led by Li Zhenan, also arrived and were urgently building fortifications. Zheng Weiguo stepped forward to take a look and saw that the women's team was also here.

He stepped forward and rebuked, "What's the matter with you? Didn't I order you to escort the villagers to the Eighth District? ”

The captain of the female soldier is called Chen Wanchun. When she saw that Zheng Weiguo was angry, she was a little scared, but she twisted her neck and said, "We want to fight devils!" ”

Zheng Weiguo said angrily: "Nonsense! As a soldier, you should do what you order! I now order your troops to move quickly to Qiliba! ”

Chen Wanchun didn't know whether she was scared or angry, and she trembled. But she stared at Zheng Weiguo, and she had no intention of moving.

Zheng Weiguo became even more angry and said, "Do you want to disobey on the battlefield?" ”

Chen Wanchun's lips trembled a few times, and said, "Either let me beat the devil, or you will kill me!" ”

Zheng Weiguo was stunned by anger, whether it was before or after the crossing, no subordinate had ever dared to speak to him like this. However, he observed and found that many commanders and fighters around him were staring at them, so he quickly calmed down.

He rushed around and yelled, "Look at what! The devil will kill him right away! Does just looking at Lao Tzu work? The crowd was startled, and hurriedly lowered their heads and continued to strengthen the fortifications.

Zheng Weiguo roared, his mood was much better, and he said to Chen Wanchun: "Have you seen this mountain?" You stay here! Wait for the devil to come, aim at me and hit hard! ”

Chen Wanchun wiped a handful of tears and said loudly: "Yes! Then he hurried over with his sisters. That hill was a secondary position, but she knew that Zheng Weiguo couldn't give in anymore, so she didn't screw it anymore, anyway, they just had to find a place to fight devils.

Zheng Weiguo turned around and saw Zhang Haiyan arranging something nervously, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is this arrangement ready?" ”

Zhang Haiyan wiped his sweat and said, "I just added another insurance!" ”

Zheng Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief, although this arrangement is small, it is crucial. He looked around, and suddenly saw another acquaintance in the front militia - Zhang Zhilan, a female teacher. God knows how she got in! Miss Zhilan also saw Zheng Weiguo, and just wanted to dodge, but she didn't have time.

Zheng Weiguo walked over and said, "What kind of fame, who asked you to come?" ”

Zhilan pouted, not daring to look at Zheng Weiguo, so she lowered her head and looked at her toes, not making a sound.

Zheng Weiguo was angry, and was about to say something, when he suddenly heard a report from the observation post that the devil's spearhead was coming.
