Section XXIV

"Five hundred steps, four hundred steps...... Three hundred paces ......" the stones lay on the edge of the trench, relying on the mountains and rocks in front of them as cover, silently calculating the distance between each other, the current situation, the speed and momentum of the enemy are completely different from the previous battles, as if they still put the enemy to a distance of more than thirty paces before firing, I am afraid that before their round of attacks is over, the galloping war horses can rush through this area of death, and they are in close combat, looking at the enemy's such an amazing scene, the stone for the first time has doubts about his hand-to-hand combat skills, Not to mention anything else, a war horse of such a speed rushes over, and there is no need for the devil on horseback to make any moves, as long as it is hit, I am afraid that most of the lives will be lost.

Thinking like this, the stone was also stunned in his heart, and secretly estimated that he would have to open fire at most when the enemy advanced to 80 paces, and while thinking like this, the stone observed the distance between them more carefully, for fear of missing the divide.

But the amazing thing, even if it appeared in front, when the stone estimated that the devils in front of the position were only more than one hundred and fifty steps away from them, those galloping war horses suddenly split into two pieces from the middle, neatly as if they were split by a big axe in the sky, but the speed of the devil's forward rush was not affected in the slightest, and the huge roar still resounded in the sky.

The soldiers of the national army on the battlefield looked at the shocking changes in front of them, and became suspicious one by one, such a situation is really unheard of, what do these devils want to do?

"Oh no, the devils want to surround us!" Lao Meng, who was lying on the ground, had a lot of experience in fighting, and just by looking at it, he roughly guessed the devil's thoughts, and the sound of roaring in vain shocked everyone for a while.

Seeing that the enemy did not attack directly, the pillar also left his original position, touched the side of the stone, and asked in a deep voice: "Stone, the situation is a little wrong!" ”

At this time, most of the enemy's cavalry had disappeared in front of the battlefield because of their rapid speed, leaving only the dust raised by the horses' hooves still covering the sky and the sun, and the devil who was divided into two halves had already circled the north and south wings of Fang Mountain at this moment, and it was really like Lao Meng roared, as if he wanted to surround them.

The stone did not say a word, he still looked at the enemy horsemen rushing out of the dust, watching them circulate in two groups at a distance of about a hundred paces in front of the position, and as he watched, his face gradually showed a strange look, as if he had thought of something.

After the pillar finished speaking, he had been waiting for the stone's response, his eyes were naturally fixed on his face, seeing the stone's expression, he immediately frowned puzzled, a little unable to touch the inside of this guy's head, what was he thinking about all day long, at this critical moment, is he still distracted?

However, Shishi's next words dispelled the doubts in his heart, and he saw Shi groaning and saying, "Brother Zhuzi, how many devils do you think?" ”

The pillar couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, this question obviously stumped him, the devil appeared too quickly, and the momentum was extremely amazing, coupled with the dust that rose into the air, so that everyone was thinking about whether they could block the devil's fierce attack, and groaned for a while, the pillar shook his head categorically and said: "I can't see it clearly, but this momentum, I'm afraid there are at least two or three squadrons." ”

Shi Shi said with certainty: "About six hundred horsemen." ”

The pillar's face couldn't help but become more embarrassed, but this expression quickly disappeared, and the usual calm expression came to his face, and he said calmly: "That's worth a full battalion of ours, according to this, it may be a cavalry brigade." ”

After thinking about it, the pillar continued: "Our battalion is now full of less than 400 people, and it is still guarding the whole mountain separately, the devil has war horses, once this speed runs, I am afraid that once it can't be suppressed, it will be broken through the defense line, and if any point is broken through on the entire mountain, our situation will be very unfavorable." ”

Hearing what the pillar said, Shi also nodded solemnly, and then said with embarrassment on his face: "The strength of the devil is so strong, I don't think there is any need to surround it, as long as we bypass the blocking position in front of us, choose to attack from the flank, and rely on the manpower of one company or another, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." ”

The pillar couldn't help but glance at the stone, and reminded: "We haven't connected the fire with the devil yet, I think it's better not to act rashly for the time being, the battalion commander is above, if there is anything wrong, there should be an order to come down, besides, the staff officers who came two days ago are also on it, they are not here to see the excitement." ”

Shi couldn't hear the meaning of the pillar's words, this was for fear that he would change the battle plan without authorization and go to reinforce friendly forces, thus violating military orders, and supervising the battle and staff battle, this kind of thing was a fatal move.

Shi is no longer the amnesiac young man who doesn't know anything, after becoming the company commander, he feels a great responsibility, and he has a feeling of walking on thin ice every moment, which makes him become a lot more cautious, you must know that his every move is related to the life of the entire company of Brother Bailai, how dare he not think about it?

At this time, Shi Shi also nodded and said: "Don't worry, Brother Zhuzi, the battalion headquarters is on it, how to fight this battle, naturally the battalion commander has the final say, we just need to implement it seriously." ”

In a few battles in Xiaoliuhe, Zhu Zi naturally had seen the ability of the stone, and he was also convinced of his ability to command the battle, but I don't know why, after hearing the stone like this, he suddenly had a feeling of a long breath, as if a stone pressed on his chest had been removed.

There was already a whispering voice on the battlefield, and with the departure of the devil, the three people who had been under great pressure on the front faced the situation in front of them, and finally couldn't help but whisper the questions in their hearts and the robes beside them, and while talking, they also looked up from time to time, as if they were afraid that the devil would suddenly come out.

"Company commander, the battalion commander asked you to go to the battalion headquarters!" At this moment, there was a shout from the middle of the mountain, it was Yang Dahu, the eighth squad leader.

After looking at the pillar beside him, he nodded in tacit understanding with each other, and the stone also walked quickly along the traffic trench towards the hillside.

And when Xiao Shandong saw that the pillar had returned to his original place, he couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Zhuzi, what is the battalion commander calling Brother Shi to do now?" Will we be able to split our men to reinforce both sides? ”

Zhuzi didn't expect Xiao Shandong's kid to look stunned, but he seemed to see the key to the problem at once, and he was also stunned for a moment, and then reprimanded with a straight face: "If you are full, why are you worrying about this?" What are the commands from above, shall we just follow them? Where to fight devils is not to fight? ”

After the training, Xiao Shandong suddenly stuck out his tongue, and with a light sound, his eyes returned to the distance, but in the open field, there was really nothing to see.

Lao Meng, who was stunned, stared at the pillar dissatisfiedly and said: "It's one thing to do what you order, it's another thing to figure out the situation, what are you shouting about?" You haven't asked anyone about it? You understand everything from the womb? ”

Listening to Lao Meng's words, the pillar suddenly smiled bitterly, this old man Meng's protection is really not blown.

The stone quickly reached the top of the mountain, and at a glance he saw Zheng Pusheng, who was watching the situation in the north of Fangshan, and after shouting "battalion commander", the stone also walked over quickly, and then he saw that Staff Officer Dai from the regiment headquarters was also there, and immediately stopped and saluted an officer to the two.

Zheng Pusheng just replied with a light gratitude, but Staff Officer Dai on the side didn't dare to say anything, and after returning the salute, he quickly greeted him and said, "Company Commander Shi is a chief, how can I afford your gift." ”

Staff Officer Dai's name is Dai Jun, the lieutenant staff officer of the 302nd Regiment, very young, twenty-four or five years old, very white skin, long sword eyebrows, radiant looks, plus a tall body and a friendly smile on his face at all times, making him look quite handsome, just this appearance, it makes Shi feel inferior, and I heard that Staff Officer Dai graduated from the Central Military Academy, and the predecessor of the Central Military Academy is the famous Huangpu Military Academy, which makes him quite a graduate of Huangpu Phase 5, and the current head of the 302nd Regiment Cheng Zhi appreciates, and is also a celebrity in the 302nd Regiment.

However, what Staff Officer Dai said was indeed right, Shi Shi, now as a captain and company commander, can indeed be regarded as his commander, in this case, it should be him who salutes first.

Zheng Pusheng saw that Shi Shi opened his mouth and wanted to explain something, so he frowned there and shouted: "Okay, now at the critical moment, don't waste time on these little things, Shi, I called you here to discuss how to fight the next battle together!" After that, he scolded hatefully again: "Damn, these little devils are getting better and better, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?" ”

The stone did not dare to hesitate, and also walked quickly to Zheng Pusheng's side, under his guidance, raised the telescope and looked down the mountain, those devils who disappeared in the front of the battlefield reappeared in sight, at this time the stone could see that the devil's brigade of cavalry was cruising back and forth in the barren fields north of Fangshan, and did not mean to approach as they were on the position, obviously not like what he had imagined before, wanting to bypass the frontal defense line and hit the flank!

Seeing this situation, Shishi's face not only did not look happy, but became more and more solemn. The more things you can't think through, the greater the danger it will undoubtedly bring, and in the next battle, the more likely you are to fall into passivity, and it is impossible for the devils to do this meaninglessly, so what are they trying to do?
