Niu Yutang said again: "Big brother, they all say that the most unbearable thing is the traitor who betrayed him, we betrayed Xu Nineteen, how could Xu Nineteen let us go?" So this time you have to listen to my little brother, let's quickly send someone to report Haneda and Ikeda, and let the Haneda Brigade and the Ikeda Brigade be more vigilant. ”

"Are you stupid?" Niu Sigen slapped Niu Yutang's head with his hand, and reprimanded, "This is just my guess, you really reported Haneda and Ikeda, the two old devils, what if the nineteenth detachment of zuihou does not come?" How do you explain to them? Yutang, you remember that little Japan is not so easy to serve. ”

"But what if the Nineteenth Detachment really comes?" Niu Yutang said, "If they really come, wouldn't it be a great achievement for you to warn in advance, big brother?" Maybe as soon as the old devil Haneda was happy, he threw Yan Sanquan and let the eldest brother be the brigade commander. ”

Niu Sigen looked at Niu Yutang coldly: "I think you are the most suitable brigade commander." ”

"Big brother, what do you think you are talking about?" Niu Yutang shouted, "How dare I have such a heart? ”

"If you don't have the heart, that's the best." Niu Sigen said, "Yutang, let me tell you, although we have put on this dog skin and become traitors, we must not do things absolutely and cut off the back road, don't look at Little Japan is quite arrogant now, but who knows what the result of zuihou is?" ”

"Big brother, what do you mean?" Niu Yutang said, "You mean, little Japan Zuihou will lose?" This is unlikely, little Japan is about to defeat half of China, and it is the richest half, if you look at the national government, what kind of shape has it been made by small Japan? That's it, and you still want to drive little Japan out of China? Dream on. ”

Niu Sigen said: "I didn't say that Little Japan will definitely lose, if Little Japan really loses, let's vote for it?" I mean, leave a line in everything, and see each other in the future, in case little Japan is really driven out of China by the national army in the future, we will have a room to turn around, don't you say? ”

Niu Yutang said: "Then, don't you tell Haneda?" ”

"Don't go, you go back to your tent and go to sleep."

After Xu Shijiu gave the battle order, Li Zihan went back to gather his troops and rushed to Hulu Valley overnight.

Two hours later, just after midnight the next day, the L battalion had already entered the attack position, the high ground on the left side of the gourd valley.

As mentioned earlier, the terrain of the gourd valley is gourd-shaped, the gourd mouth leads to the mountain, the bottom of the gourd leads to the outside of the mountain, the two sides of the gourd are the highlands, the highlands are facing the valley is a cliff, although the cliff is not high, it is only four or five meters away, but if there is no rope, it is not easy to climb down.

Taking advantage of the short interval when the troops were resting, Li Zihan took the guard platoon commander Zhao Dahai to the edge of the cliff to inspect the terrain first, stood on the cliff and looked down, only to see that it was pitch black, and only saw that there were dots of fire in the valley, needless to say, it must be a bonfire of small Japanese artillery.

With the help of the faint light emitted by the campfire, Li Zihan roughly estimated the distance, the width of the valley would not exceed a kilometer, and heavy machine guns and mortars mounted on the cliff could cover the entire valley, but light machine guns could not.

Little Japan's vigilance is not bad, not only a large number of sentry posts have been planted in the valley, but also guard posts have been placed on the high ground on the left and right sides, but they are all open sentries.

Little Japan camped at night, and it was generally customary to set up fixed and mobile posts, but rarely set up dark posts.

The little Japanese guard on the high ground on the left side was not even 100 meters away from Li Zihan, but at this time the moon had already set, and it was pitch black all around, and the figure could not be seen clearly from ten meters away, so the little Japanese guard did not notice Li Zihan's arrival at all, and did not know that there were hundreds of enemies resting and waiting in the dense forest on the other side of the high ground.

Li Zihan's gaze looked north over the small Japanese sentry, that direction should be Huluzui, according to the information provided by Li Mu, the Haneda Brigade should be stationed at that position, but the campfire of the Haneda Brigade cannot be seen here, it must be blocked by the mountain beam in the middle.

At this moment, Li Shuanggun's battalion must have also entered the attack position.

Looking back, Li Zihan saw more campfires at the bottom of the gourd, needless to say, it must be the camp of the puppet army Longkou mixed brigade, after the puppet army Longkou mixed brigade absorbed Niu Sigen's troops, Yan Sanquan recruited some veterans of the nineteen detachments who went home, and now it has expanded to three regiments, with a small 2,000 men.

However, Li Zihan did not take this small two thousand puppet army in his eyes.

Suddenly, the sound of shredded footsteps came from behind him.

Zhao Dahai, the guard platoon commander who followed Li Zihan, turned around, and saw a burly black shadow walking quietly over the dry grass, and when Zhao Dahai was about to reach out and pull out his gun, a familiar voice had already come: "Tuanzao, it's me." ”

It was the company commander of the L Battalion and L Company who came, Liu Changqing, Liu Changqing and Zhao Dahai were all old men brought by Li Zihan from the Third War Zone, and they were used to calling Li Zihan the regimental seat, and they did not change it after the 19th detachment was downsized and Li Zihan's position was demoted from regiment commander to battalion commander.

"Evergreen?" Li Zihan said, "What is the mood of the brothers? ”

Liu Changqing lowered his voice and said: "Tuanza, don't worry, you haven't had a head-to-head battle with Little Japan these days, the brothers have already suffocated, this time Tuanza finally won the opportunity to attack for the brothers, and the brothers will never let you down." ”

Liu Changqing's L Company is an old unit brought from the Third War Zone, none of them are Longkou borrowers, the previous discharge turmoil caused irreparable heavy damage to the 19th Detachment, but the L Company has not been affected in any way, so among the current 19 Detachments, Liu Changqing's L Company is the most stable and strongest combat effectiveness of the company, and it is also the company with the largest number of troops.

Other companies only have more than 100 people, but Liu Changqing's company has more than 300 people.

Li Zihan patted Liu Changqing on the shoulder and said, "Okay, go back and tell the brothers of Company L that tonight's battle is a matter of life and death for our entire 19th detachment, and if it is fought, I will personally ask for credit from the Commander's Department of the Third War Zone for them."

"Thank you." Liu Changqing stood upright and saluted again.

Five minutes later, dozens of ropes connected by leggings hung down from the cliff, and one by one the black shadows slid silently down the ropes.

At four o'clock in the morning, as soon as the appointed time arrived, with two red signal flares lifted into the air, the officers and men of the 19 detachments, who had already entered the attack position, began to act at the same time, the L battalion was responsible for storming the artillery of Little Japan, the battalion was responsible for blocking Haneda's gendarmerie, and the 3rd battalion was responsible for blocking the Longkou mixed brigade of Yansanquan.

Yan Sanquan, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the fierce gunshots.

Put on a military uniform and hurriedly get out of the tent, only to see that his cousin Yan Weixin had already run over in a panic, Yan Weixin's face was a little pale under the firelight, the wide-brimmed hat on his head was crooked, and the board cowhide boots on his feet also fell off, and he looked as embarrassed as he was.

"Big brother, no, it's not bad, the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in southern Anhui is fighting, and it's coming." Yan Weixin said in a panic.

"What's the panic?" Yan Sanquan glared at Yan Weixin viciously, and then began to wear the military uniform slowly, Yan Sanquan deliberately slowed down the speed of buttoning, in order to appease people's hearts, Yan Sanquan's calm kung fu that became unfazed really worked, at least Yan Weixin was not as panicked as he was just now.

"Big brother, the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in Southern Anhui has really come over." Yan Weixin was much calmer this time, but there was still fear in his bones, "Listen, it's all machine guns, and this firepower must be their main force." ”

"It's okay, listen to the gunshots and they are at least five hundred meters away." Yan Sanquan said calmly, "Shooting at such a long distance is completely inconsistent with the style of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, if I guess correctly, the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army must be setting off firecrackers in foreign oil barrels to scare us." ”

"Firecrackers in a foreign oil barrel?" Yan Weixin was dumbfounded when he heard it, but after thinking about it again, it seemed that this was really the case, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui did not have a strong logistics support than small Japan, and the bullets were as expensive as baby bumps, how could they be fired indiscriminately five hundred meters away?

While speaking, Yan Sanquan had already buttoned the buttons, and said: "Restoration, you go and tell Niu Sigen, let him immediately lead people to counter-charge, and defeat Lao Tzu with the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui on the opposite side, Lao Tzu will give him half an hour, if he can't complete the task within half an hour, then don't blame Lao Tzu for turning his face and not recognizing people." ”
