Qian Liyuan was afraid that Cao Guang, the commander of the third battalion, would snatch the credit, so he hurriedly said: "Alas, alas, Lao Cao, you kid straighten your tongue before saying this!" This main attack task can't be your turn for the three battalions, right? Our second battalion hasn't spoken yet, what are you doing in a hurry? Regiment commander, this main attack has to be carried out by our second battalion. There are only a few dozen devils in the Yuxian stronghold, and the three battalions are not the little devils who bully him? This is detrimental to the reputation of our independent regiment. ”

Yang Longfei looked at Xie Dacheng who was standing on the side, he felt very surprised, according to the past, this kid had already jumped up, and whoever grabbed the main attack task with him would turn his face with whom. What's going on today? Why did you become so subtle? It's like a frosted eggplant.

Xie Dacheng said tactfully: "Commander, this time I won't follow Lao Qian and them to coax them." As I just said, our battalion has dealt with the devils in the Yuxian stronghold before, and although there are only a dozen of them, their defense is very good. People build those fortifications and fortresses for the sake of 'easy to defend and difficult to attack'. In addition, there are light and heavy machine guns in the devil's bunker, and there are mortars on the roof of the turret, which is really difficult to deal with. Last year, a company under the old third regiment did not know the depth, and wanted to pull out the stronghold of the devil, but it suffered a big loss, and the battle lasted less than 15 minutes before the two platoons were wiped out, and the company commander Wang Huaibao was beaten into a sieve by the devil's machine gun! Even if the Jin Sui army came to fight, it didn't take advantage of it, in April this year, a battalion of the Jin Sui army planned to eat this group of devils, but what happened, the battle lasted for a day and a night, and the whole battalion was disabled. Yes, in the end, I gritted my teeth and pulled out the Yuxian stronghold, but what happened in the end? Let the little devil reinforcements make dumplings. I've figured it out anyway, instead of touching this mold, it's better to ambush the devil reinforcements on the highway line. ”

Qian Liyuan scoffed at Xie Dacheng's reason: "Commander, don't listen to this kid, he is an excuse." Damn, I don't believe it, just dozens of devils, one person in our second battalion is enough to drown these dogs! It's just right that they abstained from the first battalion, and we don't have to quarrel. Regiment commander, let's die, it's our second battalion! ”

Cao Guang shouted dissatisfiedly: "Pulling the huqin in the crotch ——— nonsense." What does it mean that the first battalion abstains and goes directly to the second battalion? Where did you put Lao Tzu's three camps? Damn, it's all mother's flesh and blood, how dare the soldiers of your second battalion have more courage than others? Lao Tzu still doesn't believe in this evil, and the main force in the dare group is your second battalion, right? Tell you, the three battalions of Lao Tzu are not muddy! This main attack on me Cao Guang is going to be decided, who will rob me and who will be in a hurry! ”

Yang Longfei's face pulled down as soon as he heard this, and he looked at the arguing two with white eyes and scolded: "What are you doing, what are you doing?" Seeing that you can't fight for four, five or six again, do you still want to throw off your arms and fight? I didn't see how active you were before the division of troops. Oh, I understand, now everyone is out of business, rich, and a goddamn rich man in Shanxi, so he speaks hard! That's what it means, right? Lao Tzu came to you to let you steal the credit? I, Yang Longfei, have always been fair, everyone will take credit if I win the battle, don't talk about you if I can't win the battle, even the logistics department and the cooking class will be blamed, and the punishment will be punished in the same way! Now, I'm not going to be polite to you rich people with fat brains! How many heavy weapons are in their respective troops, all of them are reported to Lao Tzu! Xie Dacheng, you say it first! ”

"Regiment commander, what do we report if our battalion doesn't participate in the main attack mission......" Xie Dacheng muttered.

"Don't talk nonsense, let you report it, you will report it, and if there are so many heads, Lao Tzu will beat you! Say ...... Say."

Xie Dacheng pursed his lips and said, "Two Type 92 infantry guns, five Type 96 mortars...... Nope. ”

Yang Longfei smiled suspiciously: "No? What the hell are you nearsighted? When I first entered the village, I saw it, and there was a Japanese 94-style mountain cannon, no need to quibble, it was your battalion! Do you still want to fool Lao Tzu? There are no doors! Before the words fell, he gently slapped Xie Dacheng's right cheek, with a smug smile on his face.

Xie Dacheng rubbed his right cheek and complained dissatisfiedly: "Commander, this can't be counted on my head, right?" Didn't I say that? Our battalion gave up the right to attack the main attack and was willing to give the main attack unit as an assist or a feint. You said, I have suffered all this grievance, and you can't use our battalion's artillery for the second and third battalions, right? ”

Qian Liyuan sighed and said, "Hey, why do I hear this a little piercing?" As for those few baby bumps in your camp, I still can't look at them! Dare to love that your battalion has heavy weapons? Regiment commander, our second battalion has not been busy in vain in the past two years. Let me tell you this, you can't get heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 100 mm, but there are still * guns of 75 mm caliber, although there are not many shells, it is more than enough to hit the little devil turret! At that time, as long as you give an order, my cannon will go directly to the little devil headquarters! ”

Yang Longfei nodded and said, "Okay, since the family background has been revealed, then I won't be polite to you." Now obey my orders, all heavy weapons of the 1st and 2nd Battalions, except for grenadiers and mortars, will be loaned to the 3rd Battalion for use, and they will be returned after the battle! ”

With this order, not only Xie Dacheng and Qian Liyuan, but even the third battalion commander Cao Guang couldn't help but be stunned. He said in his heart that he hadn't opened his mouth yet, could it be that the main task had fallen on his head like this? He cautiously confirmed: "Commander, what do you mean ......"

Yang Longfei spoke loudly: "Don't you understand this? In this battle, your three battalions will be the main attackers! The 1st and 2nd Battalions were ambushed on the road lines on the north and south sides, responsible for blocking the reinforcements of the devils. If the battle had gone well, I guess it would have been over in two hours. If the attack doesn't go well, the time will be doubled...... Qian is far away, you kid don't look at Lao Tzu with your white eyes, Lao Tzu let your battalion go to ambush naturally has Lao Tzu's reason! Even Xie Dacheng, a kid, knows that ambushing is a beautiful difference, why did he fall on you and push it out? That's it, the third battalion is responsible for the main attack, I am the commander-in-chief, and Cao Guang is the deputy commander-in-chief...... Hey? What are you happy to do? One main quest can make you happy like this? Don't be too happy too early, I sent you to the three battalions this time, but I didn't want you to be my aunt. Ugly words ahead, if you can't give me a momentum in this battle, Lao Tzu will not only take off your hat as a battalion commander, but also have to revoke the number of your battalion, do you understand? ”

Cao Guang "snapped" and stood upright: "Don't worry, the head of the regiment, I, Cao Guang, will vouch for you and promise to complete the task!" ”

"Okay, then that's it, the troops are deployed according to the established plan, each performing its own duties, and everyone must enter their respective positions before dawn! Let's go! ”

To say that Xiao Zhiyuan, the political commissar, is indeed incompetent, it has been more than two years since he went to the Independent League in 1938 to serve as the political commissar. But in the past two years, he and Yang Longfei have only intersected at work, and the rest of the time the two have hardly seen each other, let alone communicate in life. To put it bluntly, the rift between Xiao Zhiyuan and Yang Longfei was also planted when they met at the regiment headquarters for the first time. At that time, Yang Longfei and the deputy head of the regiment Zhang Shan sang and scolded themselves in front of the soldiers, and let themselves show their foreign appearance. He kept this incident in his heart and couldn't let go, and it was like a dead knot wrapped around his heart.

Since the teams of all battalions and companies gathered in Miaozhuang, Xiao Zhiyuan seemed to smell a smell that was not quite right. He was not a professional soldier and lacked military sense of the upcoming war. Xiao Zhiyuan thought to himself: When the troops were divided two years ago, the three battalions that were transferred to other places suddenly all returned to the building, what are you doing here? I don't know. But one thing is certain, they definitely didn't come to Miao Zhuang to visit relatives. He also saw the assembly of troops this time, there are a lot of heavy weapons in the team, what does this posture need to say? It's definitely going to be a war! It doesn't matter where you fight, but you have to communicate with him as a political commissar, right? Anyway, it's also a partner, so arbitrary? It's too ignorant.

"Lao Yang, I heard the soldiers say that our regiment is gathering this time to attack the Yuxian stronghold, I specially came to ask, is there such a thing?"

Yang Longfei said lightly: "That's the case, time is pressing, forget to inform your political commissar comrade, you can take care of it!" The troops were about to leave overnight, whether Political Commissar Xiao was going or staying, and after hearing the words, he ......tucked the gun in his hand into his trouser belt, threw off his arms and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Zhiyuan.

Political Commissar Xiao was also unambiguous, and said straight to the point: "Does the division know about this?" ”

Yang Longfei said impatiently: "My big political commissar, when is this?" The entire northwest of Shanxi has been disrupted into a pot of porridge! If you ask me to report this matter to the division commander now, aren't you deliberately blocking him? Besides, the phone line of our regiment has long been cut off by devils, not to mention the division headquarters, even the brigade headquarters, you can't find it! Get out of the way, I'll catch up, and the big army will go away......"

"That's not good, this is not in line with the discipline of our Eighth Route Army. Mobilizing troops to fight without asking for instructions is subject to court-martial. If you Yang Regiment Commander were a dominant family, it would be fine, but now the political commissar of the Independent Regiment is me, if I watch you make mistakes and ignore it, I will be the one the superior leader looking for in the future! It's okay if the phone line is broken, isn't there still a radio station? In this case, you first ask the troops to stop, and then order the communications office to set up the antenna again, and I will personally lead people to contact the division headquarters. ”

"That's your business, you're the political commissar, it's your job to ask for instructions before the war, I have nothing to say. But the troops must not stop, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and I must compete with the enemy for time! I'll put my ugly words in front, if you say too much, don't blame me for not giving you face! Yang Longfei said in a tough tone.

Xiao Zhiyuan became angry when he heard it: "Lao Yang, I said which tendon you are in the wrong place, right?" Do you know how big a crime you are against when you move your troops into battle without asking for advice? If you don't make trouble, you will kill your head! I also said ugly things in the front, you better not make a mistake in this matter, your brain will not tire you with a few more turns. I now order you to immediately withdraw the main forces, and no one is allowed to take half a step out of Miaozhuang until the division headquarters agrees to the independent regiment to participate in the battle! ”

Yang Longfei simply blew up, and he roared: "Political Commissar Xiao, do you know who you're talking to?" Even you, a political cadre, dare to order Lao Tzu? Let me tell you, since Lao Tzu put on this military uniform, except for the brigade commander, division commander and head of the headquarters who have scolded me, no one has dared to blow his beard and stare at Lao Tzu. Last year, Jiang *zi, the head of the 769 regiment, scolded his mother in front of Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu kicked him in the ass. That kid finally sued the lawsuit to the division headquarters, and our political commissar Deng also scolded me on the phone for a few words! Don't you think that after a few years of studying at Kang University, you will be great? Are you still a good man? As the old saying goes, 'military orders fall like a mountain', and the operational deployment has reached the grassroots level, can this be held back? Today, don't say that it is to report to the division headquarters, you just find the headquarters, and the troops must not be rebuilt, this Yuxian stronghold Lao Tzu is decided! Yang Longfei shook off Xiao Zhiyuan's pull, and the gun tied to his abdomen disappeared into the darkness.

There was only a faint roar of Xiao Zhiyuan behind him: "Yang Longfei, listen well, you are responsible for your willfulness......"

……

It was late at night, and the engineer company directly under the regiment was carrying out earthwork work within 200 meters of the Yuxian stronghold, and in order to avoid being discovered by the devils in the turret and bunker, they smashed the soil blocks lifted by the engineer shovels on their comrades as much as possible. This can not only reduce noise, but also cleverly avoid the inspection of Japanese searchlights, which can be the best of both worlds.

After half past two in the morning, the Japanese troops in the Yuxian stronghold officially entered the most difficult time period of the day. Almost all the sober Japanese soldiers were listless, each with their eyelids drooping and their faces drooping, and even the sentry on duty had to pat his yawning mouth from time to time. To be precise, their energy has reached its limit, every vein in their body is tense, and they are relying on their so-called thoughts to support their tired bodies.

Eight Japanese soldiers on duty in a turret were doing their own things, some were squatting on the ground and smoking; There are those who lie on the table and are lazy and dozing; There are also those who hide in the corner and read books......

The most bitter thing is the puppet army soldiers who are on duty in the open space outside the building, they have just been transferred here from the 5th Brigade of the Imperial Association Army in Taiyuan, and they have been engaged in the maintenance of the place before, living a 9-to-5 life, and when they have nothing to do, they can also get some oil and water from nearby businesses, and almost all of them are happy errands, and they have not suffered any crimes. It's good now, when I get to the ghost place of Yuxian stronghold, let alone fishing for oil and water, I have to work here all night long! Is this a human life?

A puppet soldier grumbled dissatisfiedly while lighting a cigarette for the second lieutenant officer sitting next to him: "Platoon commander, do you think this little devil has a face or an ass on his head?" I can think of such a bad trick, let our brothers keep vigil, and they sleep in it? Isn't that bullying? You said that you stayed well in our Taiyuan, but the devil commander didn't let our brothers come out, what do you think he is comfortable with? ”

The platoon commander of the puppet army smoked a cigarette and at the same time had to spit out a few smoke rings from time to time, he also felt a great imbalance in the unreasonable division of labor of the Japanese, so he simply took over the topic of the soldier and scolded: "What is An's heart? Anyway, it's true that I didn't have a good heart! I didn't find out before, this little devil is too bad! Damn, there are things that no one raises in life, and a few of our brothers have fallen into blood mold when they take refuge in the Japanese! Don't talk about everything, it's not our turn to enjoy the blessings! Do you say we've lived a day since we put on this dress? One was angry with the devil, the second was beaten by eight roads, and the third was scolded by the people. One day, Lao Tzu was forced to be anxious, and Lao Tzu rebelled against his son of a bitch! Still him little devil? Bah! I thought ...... beautiful."

As he was scolding, a Japanese soldier standing not far away strolled up to the two as if he understood, and asked in a hoarse voice in Chinese, "Hey, what were you talking about just now?" ”

The soldier who complained at the beginning immediately turned into a sneering face and explained: "Taijun, I chatted with our platoon commander and didn't say anything......

The Japanese soldier Cao stubbornly shook his head and said, "No, I seem to have heard you talking about the Imperial Japanese Army just now...... Tell me, what the hell are you talking about us! ”

Before the soldier could open his mouth, the platoon commander of the puppet army pushed him aside, and he looked at the Japanese soldier Cao in front of him with a smile and said: "Taijun, I was discussing with my soldiers about Hades just now, and in China, Hades is the same as the emperor of the Japanese Imperial Army. I told my soldiers, the Imperial Japanese Army is like a grasshopper after autumn, jumping higher and higher! I also said that as long as the brothers follow Taijun and work hard, they will be able to go to Japan to meet Hades at that time...... Come, Taijun, smoke, smoke, smoke......"

In fact, when he said this, he didn't know the bottom of his heart, for fear that this Japanese devil would hear that he was scolding him around the corner, then he would suffer, and if he didn't die, he would have to lose his skin. Who thinks that this little Japanese child is just a raw melon egg, who listens to people who half-understand and half-understand, but he doesn't hear the Tao here. This puppet platoon commander, who thought he was a little clever, didn't expect that he was so nervous that he actually handed the cigarette butt that was about to run out in his hand to the Japanese soldier.

The Japanese military Cao, who was originally ambiguous and seemed to understand whether he understood or not, couldn't help but be furious when he saw this, and the other party actually gave him a cigarette that was about to run out, which was obviously insulting him! I saw that he made a sharp move, knocked down the cigarette butt in the opponent's hand with one palm, and then slapped the opponent's face with another palm. This slap was very tricky and heavy, and the left cheek of the puppet platoon commander was swollen to bruise at that time, and blood oozed from his nostrils and the corners of his mouth.

After the Japanese soldier Cao angrily scolded "bastard", he made a few extremely threatening and insulting actions at the two in front of him before he refused to give up and leave. The platoon commander of the puppet army, who was badly injured in the face, spat fiercely at Jun Cao's back, and scolded: "Bastard, my parents gave me this face just to let you little Japanese devils beat me?" You're waiting, it's not over......"
