Tang Shengzhi, who received Feng Shengfa's urgent telegram, felt a chill hit his heart.

The troops under the command of Feng Shengfa include the Chairman's Guard, the Special Service Regiment and the Guard Regiment directly under the Central Military Commission, which were equivalent to the Imperial Forest Army in ancient times, but now they are surrounded, which makes Tang Shengzhi feel like he is thorned in the back. The exercise lasted for two days and two nights, and the red side had already lost the artillery regiment and the baggage regiment, and now Feng Shengfa's elite force was also in danger, like an elephant whose life was dying was being torn apart by a wild wolf watching beside him.

At this time, Tang Shengzhi only wanted to quickly assemble his troops, but because the battle line was too long and the roads along the way were not easy to walk, his strategic intention could not be realized for a long time. However, Tang Shengzhi is a battle-hardened veteran after all, he fought hard and sent telegrams to Dai Minquan one after another, asking him to take down the tip of the wind tunnel within half a day and open the way to rescue Feng Shengfa's department, otherwise the military law will be engaged.

Before Dai Minquan received Tang Shengzhi's sternly worded order, he had already received an urgent telegram from Feng Shengfa asking for help, and the telegram could be read with sincerity and tears.

Dai Minquan can appreciate the weight contained in it, and he is accustomed to speculation, he feels that the opportunity has come, if he can rescue Feng Shengfa, he can quickly close the relationship with the Royal Forest Army, which is of great significance to Dai Minquan, who has not been completely integrated into the central military system.

Soon, Dai Minquan issued the latest order, as long as he attacked the peak of the wind tunnel, the reward in front of him would be doubled.

When the officers and men of the 45 th Division heard this, they all smiled with joy.

If it was a real war, Dai Minquan might hesitate in the face of the heavy casualties that were destined to occur, but after all, this was just a drill, and even if the attack failed, it would not hurt his 45th Division, so he completely let go of his hand, and even ordered his guards to personally act as the supervising team, following behind the attacking troops to supervise the battle

The officers and men of the 45th Division, under the leadership of officers at all levels, dispatched two regiments at once, and the red soldiers were all over the hills, one by one screaming and rushing towards the top of the mountain.

The battle raged from the start, with guns and fires blazing and logs and boulders rolling down the hills, and the attacking forces quickly suffered real casualties.

Although the supplementary regiment led by Chen Yanhua was well-trained, most of them were new recruits and had not experienced the test of actual combat, so many tactics of luring the enemy into the depths did not dare to take risks, and as soon as they saw the enemy entering the minefield, they immediately ordered the soldiers to open fire, and more than ten Browning Nl917 water-cooled heavy machine guns on the high ground of the main peak spewed tongues of fire and slammed at the red soldiers who rushed up like ants.

Most of the soldiers of the 45th Division were veterans and had incomparably rich combat experience. While dodging left and right, they also relied on the terrain to fire a few shots upwards and frequently returned fire, although they were not accurate, but they still put some pressure on the recruits on the high ground.

However, the Red side in a state of attack on the back had no artillery support, and although the exercise used special bullets, the falling logs and rocks did not recognize people, and when they saw their comrades being carried down in blood, morale inevitably suffered.

The recruits became more and more comfortable with their marksmanship, and their marksmanship gradually became more accurate.

Recruit Danzi Zhang Fachun held a Czech rifle and hit a red officer, who helplessly glanced at the referee who rushed up and grabbed him, and reluctantly "died".

Liu Rui, the squad leader, patted Zhang Fachun on the shoulder and praised: "Good job, go back to the special service company to select recruits, I will definitely help you sign up"

The special service company is the most desirable place for the officers and men of the whole division, and Zhang Fachun has the specialty of shooting, and he has a great advantage in the selection process. It turned out that the Zhang family has many brothers and sisters, living in poverty, since he was a child, Zhang Fachun has practiced a slingshot in order to get food, and he is very good at fighting birds and small beasts, and now even if he uses an ordinary rifle, he can achieve the effect of a sniper rifle, and he has put down four officers in a row.

In Xibian Village under the Jianshan Mountain in the Wind Cave, Dai Minquan's eyes were about to pop out, he had already received news from the exercise headquarters that the one guarding the high ground in front of him was a new regiment, and through the binoculars, he could clearly see the panic of the officers and soldiers of the blue side at the beginning, and then gradually calmed down, and now they are full of confidence, and their marksmanship is surprisingly accurate when shooting at the soldiers of the red side

Dai Minquan didn't know what to say, even if the new Second Division was a recruit of the supplementary brigade, the monthly bullet consumption was several times that of the ordinary army, and good marksmanship was fed with bullets.

Dai Minquan is extremely brave, he participated in the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition in his early years, and once sacrificed his life to rescue Sun Yat-sen in the battle against Chen Jiongming.

Now it's time to make the next capital Dai Minquan had a gloomy face, called the chief of staff, and gave an order: "The whole division is put into the attack"

"Huh? We've only been attacking for half an hour, and now we're going to launch a general offensive? The chief of staff was a little surprised.

Dai Minquan's face was gloomy, his eyes flashed cold, and his voice was even colder: "What are you rubbing?" Didn't hear my orders? ”

At this time, the chief of staff did not dare to say any more, and hurriedly went to convey the order.

After about a quarter of an hour, the sharp whistle sounded continuously, Dai Minquan picked up the telescope and carefully observed, only to see that the officers and men of nearly four regiments under his command formed an offensive wave with a thickness of almost one kilometer, and under the cover of the artillery fire of the only mortar company of the machine gun battalion, they attacked the mountain with an unstoppable majestic momentum

Not to mention, Dai Minquan's eyesight is quite vicious, and the recruits of this supplementary regiment of the new 2nd Division are fighting more and more smoothly, and the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the officers and men of the 45th Division on the attacking side.

Thousands of soldiers of the 45th Division, under the orders of the officers, rushed like a tide to the peak of the wind tunnel, and Dai Minquan could clearly see the panic of the recruits on the blue side in the binoculars.

This wave of attack was very fierce, the artillery fire was fully opened, all four regiments were pressed, the red soldiers were all over the mountains, the feeling that the dam was affected by the tide was extremely strong, and Dai Minquan's overseer team followed suit, and the effect was very obvious

With so many men and horses mobilized at one time, even if there was a gap in the quality of individual soldiers, it was completely made up by the number of men, and the officers and men of the first regiment of the supplementary brigade on the position were suddenly overwhelmed and unable to raise their heads, and the six light machine guns deployed at the front were judged to be damaged by the referee team.

The bullets on the red side were unusually dense, and the rain of bullets "swished" over Zhang Fachun's head, frightening the recruit to shrink into the trench and not dare to probe again. Liu Rui, the squad leader, was not too nervous, and still had the leisure to chat with Zhang Fachun: "At the beginning, when we followed the division to fight the Guangdong army, it was called a cool ......

The platoon leader Zhuang shouted loudly outside: "Lao Liu, Lao Liu, you fart raise come out quickly"

Squad Leader Liu came to the corner of the trench with his waist bent over, and saw Platoon Leader Zhuang shouting to this side: "You are now the acting platoon leader of our platoon."

"What about you, platoon commander?"

Squad Leader Liu looked left and right, blinked and asked.

Platoon Commander Zhuang glared angrily and snorted, "Lao Tzu was judged dead by the referee team...... Lao Tzu died, do you know the way? ”

Squad Leader Liu smiled and said, "Platoon leader, you are all dead, how can you still speak?" ”

The platoon leader Zhuang bared his teeth and scolded: "Niang Xipi, if you lose the position to Lao Tzu, see how Lao Tzu will clean you up in the future......"

Squad Leader Liu stretched out his tongue, raised his head and looked down the mountain, dumbfounded, only to see that the red striker had rushed to a hundred meters in front of the position, and the follow-up was endless, and the feeling of destroying the embankment under the impact of the big waves became stronger and stronger. At this time, the mines laid out in front of the position had already been exhausted, and they were already powerless to stop the opponent's attack, and the firepower to fight back on their side was getting less and less, and more and more people were sentenced to be killed and out, and the situation was extremely critical.

Squad Leader Liu gritted his teeth and commanded Zhang Fachun, who was at a loss next to him: "Xiao Chunzi, hurry, come out to fight."

Zhang Fachun was lying on the trench, and was also frightened by the offensive of the red side, and now their platoon had less than half of the strength left, and the enemy had already rushed into a distance of 100 meters, and it looked like he was about to rush into the first line of trenches.

"Prepare the grenade"

Squad Leader Liu gave an order in a loud voice, and just as he was about to throw, the loud trumpet suddenly sounded, and I saw that many soldiers suddenly rushed up from the trench behind, in addition to carrying guns, they also held bundles of grenades, opened the fuse and spewed out tongues of fire, and then threw them at the red soldiers outside the position.

As the cluster grenades were thrown out one by one, Zhang Fachun heard an earth-shattering sound outside, which frightened Xiao Chunzi into staggering and falling into the trench, and when he got up to look, the stunned officers and soldiers of the red side all ran to the back, and a large open space was exposed in front of the position if the tide receded.

The sky-high flames and strong explosions made the red soldiers completely stunned, and at this time, the light and heavy machine guns on the top of the hill were in full swing, and then the mortars deployed on the anti-slope plane fired shells down the hill as if they didn't want money, and the mortar positions of the red side were the first to suffer, and they quickly fell silent.

With such a multi-pronged approach, even the 45th Division Commander behind could no longer stop the rout, but was coerced by their own rout and retreated down the mountain.

Koharuko looked at the red soldiers fleeing in disbelief, then turned her head and looked at the soldiers throwing cluster grenades: "You are ......"

"Ha Luha, how about we are a brigade and a regiment, do you feel the atmosphere of the battlefield?" The non-commissioned officer who led the team patted Zhang Fachun's shoulder and said with a smile.

It turned out that in order to ensure that the peak heights of the wind tunnel were foolproof, Wu Ming deliberately asked the first brigade to support the two battalions of the supplementary brigade

Long before the start of the war, the officers and men of the two battalions of the 1st Brigade and 1st Regiment had already arrived at the peak of the wind tunnel, but they were used as secret weapons by Chen Yanhua, who was anxious to train the troops, and waited until the most important moment before they suddenly attacked, first throwing cluster grenades, light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns, and mortars at the same time, and instantly stunned the 45th Division.

Dai Minquan pointed to the fire rising in front of the high ground, and asked hatefully, "What kind of weapon is that?" I'm going to go to the referee team and sue them, how can I use such a weapon of mass destruction casually? What if you hurt someone? ”

When the chief of staff heard this, he hurriedly handed him a booklet dedicated to the exercise, pointed to the list of blue equipment on it, and explained in a low voice:

"Master, there is an explanation on this, the other party threw a cluster grenade...... The grenade is a special drill grenade, which is equivalent to a large firecracker, but in the exercise it is completely in accordance with the actual effect, and all people within a distance of 50 meters from the explosion point will be killed."

Dai Minquan was stunned for a moment, he hadn't touched this booklet since the exercise began, and now when he saw it again, it was very dazzling, and he glanced at the chief of staff angrily.

Dai Minquan raised his binoculars again and looked at the peak of the wind tunnel in front of him, although he didn't know how many reinforcements came from the other side, but his vision was full of mature and confident faces, which were very different from those young recruits before.

Dai Minquan sighed, now that the reinforcements from the blue side have arrived, the peak of the wind tunnel in front of him is tantamount to a moat for him, and it is difficult to cross it.

When the news of the failure of the 45th Division's attack was transmitted back to the exercise headquarters, the bigwigs of the Military Committee and the General Staff Headquarters were in an uproar, and they were a little unacceptable about the progress of the battle situation.

However, Yang Jie, the commander-in-chief of the exercise, who was obsessed with the military itself, was overjoyed to see such a wonderful exercise.

Qian Dajun was dumbfounded, stunned at the map, and didn't know what to do for a while.

A smile appeared on Chiang Ching-kuo's face, and he looked at the report sent back by the exercise referee team in front of him while checking the sand table. Chiang Kai-shek frowned slightly, and there was no expression on his face at all, but when he looked at Chiang Ching-kuo, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.

Tang Shengzhi received the news that the attack had been frustrated, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, in his opinion, not capturing the top of the wind cave, this was Dai Minquan's incompetence, and it was also the inaction of the entire 45th Division.

At the former headquarters site of the blue side in Huyan Village, Dai Ziran took the latest telegram translated by the translator, hurriedly mounted his war horse, and rushed forward.

Now, Wu Ming's division headquarters has been transferred again, moving closer to the front line of the wind tunnel, and division commander Wu Ming and chief of staff Zhang Dongning followed the division headquarters together.

Under the gentle hill south of Longba Village, Dai Ziran caught up with Wu Ming and his party.

Wu Ming took the telegram and looked at it, a smile appeared on his face, this battle was completely unexpected.

The new Second Division's operational plan was deduced over two days by more than 20 staff officers led by Dai Ziran, chief of the operations section, to take every situation into account and to make plans for all kinds of changes that might occur.

Wu Ming signed his name on the telegram, and then issued several orders in succession, asking Dai Ziran to send them to all departments quickly.

For the red and blue sides, after two days of exercise, the blue side continued to reap good news, but Tang Shengzhi was full of bad news and anxiety.

As the tide of battle reached a stalemate at the crest of the wind tunnel, time passed silently.

By 9 a.m. on 14 June, due to the all-out resistance of the special service company, Li Bojiao's brigade could not reach the exercise area in time and was sentenced to be dismissed.

At the same time, due to the serious drag on the Red side's itinerary, the Red Army's troops entering Yushan County have been gradually divided into several pieces, and the balance of the battle has completely tilted in favor of the Blue side
