readx;?“ Why haven't you come yet?"

This question is a question in everyone's minds, no, when the light rain was dripping, Zhou Baoyu, who was guarding the horses not far from the rear, remembered Xiang Xueqin's instructions, and hurriedly ran to Zhang Qingshan's side, while wrapping Zhang Qingshan's left calf with a piece of cowhide, so as not to stain the wound with rain again, and asked in a low voice: "Big brother, do you say, will the enemy come?

At this time, it was already early in the morning, and the men and horses of the Red Seventeenth Division had already laid an ambush at Yanzikou according to their prior deployment. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info can wait left and right and wait for the old to not see the enemy sent to the door, everyone is inevitably a little anxious, now it is starting to rain again, everyone will be guilty, and the mood is getting worse and worse.

However, it is also said that since everyone left Ganzi, it was okay at the beginning, whether it was reactionaries or bandits and other stragglers, they were in a wait-and-see posture and did not dare to try it easily. But within three days of the Red Army's advance, some of them could not hold back, and there were bandits or small reactionaries who took advantage of the speed of their horses to harass them at night. At the beginning, because the Red Army was in a hurry, they did not take these small forces into account, and just beat them away, but they never expected that as soon as they saw that the Red Army was just driving them away, but did not dare to pursue, they became emboldened, so they harassed the Red Army more and more frequently.

At this time, the Red Army naturally took this matter seriously. As soon as the chiefs meet, they feel that this nuisance is like a fly, and they will slap one to death and there will be a group next to it, so that you will not get tired of it. In that case, let's just play a big game, and let's endure it first, and when all the enemy forces have come forward, we will annihilate them once and for all.

A few days ago, a cavalry regiment came, and I don't know if I thought that the Red Army was easy to bully when I saw the Red Army's forbearance, and actually attacked the Red Army headquarters at night as soon as it came up...... To tell the truth, this surprise attack was a great surprise to the Red Army - no one expected that a single cavalry regiment would dare to attack a force of tens of thousands of horses. Although they were defeated in the end, judging from the casualties, the Red Army did suffer a loss. And such a consequence, not to mention that the Red Army soldiers were all angry, even the chiefs were very angry. Coupled with the previous plan to wait for them to gather together and encircle and annihilate them at one time, there is this encirclement and annihilation battle...... According to the reconnaissance results, although this cavalry regiment claimed to be a regiment, it actually had only six or seven hundred men, and although it had taken advantage of the last surprise sneak attack, it had also lost one-third of its men and horses. However, because of their sneak attack, they became famous, and as a result, they gathered together the bandits and rogues who were harassing the Red Army, and in this way, their number grew to nearly 1,000 people.

In the next two or three days, the Red Army increased its vigilance, and this cavalry regiment knew that it was impossible to take advantage of the last sneak attack, or rather, they were also brewing a bigger plan, so in these two or three days, they did not disturb the Red Army at all, but followed closely more than 20 miles away -- in the steppe, for the cavalry, more than 20 miles was really not a long distance.

Perhaps because both sides were brewing a big outbreak, although the main force did not move, the scout cavalry on both sides could be said to be exhausted, but the guns and screams of the scouts fighting fiercely on the grassland rang out all the time.

The 17th Division was ambushed at Yanzikou, while the main force was camped four or five miles away. This point is incomprehensible to many middle- and grass-roots commanders and fighters with rich combat experience: Since you want to lure the enemy into the bait, you should run farther away, otherwise, the enemy is not stupid, how can he come out and attack you on a large scale? Besides, there is such a trench as Yanzikou next to you, and you are camping here, so it is clear that you are setting a trap at Yanzikou.

Zhang Qingshan was naturally very puzzled by this point, and his curiosity coupled with the commander's sense of responsibility made him have to ask this question. It's just that his legs and feet are inconvenient, so he instigated Hu Yingze to go to the regiment headquarters to ask, but as a result, Hu Yingze went fast and came back faster, but what he got was a sentence: Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, this is discipline.

Zhang Qingshan understood this: You should be the only one who knows that such a deployment is very strange, and others can't see it? Tell you, this is a deliberate arrangement from above, but your level is too low.

Therefore, for Zhou Baoyu's question, Zhang Qingshan naturally replied with a confident smile: "Baoyu, I don't know when they will come, just wait." ”

Sure enough!

As soon as Zhang Qingshan's words fell, there was a sound in the place where the large army was encamped.

Interestingly, this kind of noise makes people feel that someone is covering up something, but they accidentally make some movement: there are torches illuminated outside the camp, and there are patrols, but there is no light in the camp, but some sounds are faintly heard.

Soon, after a few cheers, there was no sound at all, giving people the feeling that no one dared to speak out after being scolded before. In this way, it gives people the feeling that they want to hide something, and they are afraid that they will be discovered.

In the end, under the cover of the quiet night, everything was calm, but if you listened closely, you could faintly hear the sound of people and horses stomping on the ground. If you put your ears on the ground, you can definitely hear a lot of messy footsteps. In addition, the light rain has begun to change to moderate rain, and the torches have been extinguished, leaving only the blue-gray luster of the half moon, but it has blurred the vision more and more, and it has become more and more suspicious.

And from beginning to end, it took more than half an hour. Give the enemy the impression that this is an organized, premeditated retreat.

Zhang Qingshan covered his forehead with his hand in confusion, opened his eyes wide, and looked back at the camp - although he couldn't see anything, he was curious!

But at this time, I saw a bright point of light appear on the front of the swallow's mouth, and soon, as the bright point approached, everyone saw that it was a small string of torches.

Zhang Qingshan saw it, relying on his rich experience in combat command, and immediately guessed what this small string of torches meant, and hurriedly whispered an order to Wang Wu who was lying beside him: "Pass the order one by one, this must be the enemy's scouts, no one is allowed to shoot without my order." ”

It turned out that Zhang Qingshan's vision was worthy of his order: the enemy openly ran directly to the entrance of Yanzikou with torches, and then, the torches were extinguished almost simultaneously. Then, walking in a dark valley - the rain was a little heavy, and the other party was in the valley, so the other party could not see the other party at all, that is, occasionally in a place where there was stagnant water, the moonlight was reflected through the water surface, and the moment the other party passed through here, the vague figure of the other party could be faintly seen.

Obviously, this must be the enemy, having received a change in our battalion, sending scouts over to reconnoitre. More precisely, it should be tempting.

Soon, I saw three black shadows returning from the mouth of the swallow. Apparently he went back to report the news.

But Zhang Qingshan frowned slightly and turned to look, this time, he was not looking at the big battalion, but worried about Qi Zixuan and them, because the enemy's reaction had been expected by the superiors, so the three platoons led by Qi Zixuan got an order: After the break, no matter how many reconnaissance cavalry the enemy sent, there is no need to care, but if the enemy wants to observe or guard around Yanzikou, then they must all be caught or killed without making a single gunshot, in short, it must be ensured that the ambush of the 17th Division cannot be exposed.

But the problem is that the moonlight is not bright in the first place, and it is raining, and the line of sight can be imagined, and you must see each other at close range, which increases the difficulty of the silent task of capturing prisoners. And once there is a gunshot, I am afraid that it will startle the snake, and the whole plan will be ruined.

Fortunately, after waiting for more than ten minutes, there was no sound in the gray rear, which made Zhang Qingshan feel a little relieved, and continued to pray in his heart that Qi Zixuan and they could successfully complete the task - in fact, this group of enemy scouts did not have time to check Yanzikou at all, and they focused all their attention on the direction of the big camp. Even, not long after, they had the audacity to sneak into the Red Army camp...... Thus, an interesting scene appeared: the main forces of the Red Army completely withdrew from the camp and hurried forward in the rainy night. And the enemy's scouts were naturally in a hurry to report this huge new situation to the rear. The most depressed was the Red Seventeenth Division, which watched the enemy's scouts running back and forth under his nose, and had to worry that they would come up to reconnoitre.

In the end, the enemy was also anxious by this huge change, or rather, he was somewhat relieved of the swallow's mouth, and when the scouts shuttled back and forth, they actually openly lit torches. The soldiers of the Red Seventeenth Division really couldn't laugh or cry at this, but they could only watch it, and they had to try to hold it back, so as not to laugh out loud.

This busyness lasted until about four o'clock in the morning, that is, the dark hour before dawn, and finally took on a new change.

In order to make the enemy more convinced that this was the rapid retreat of the main force of the Red Army, they took advantage of the darkness to climb over three large mountain packs, and after running for more than 20 miles, a small stream of torches finally appeared in the front of the troops, making the advance of the whole army faster and faster. The cavalrymen in charge of the Red Army in the rear of the palace lined up in a zigzag pattern, with torches, apparently to guard against a sneak attack by the enemy's pursuing cavalry - after the large army had advanced some distance, they could also use the speed of their horses to catch up, so that they could throw off the enemy by a large margin. Of course, more importantly, they are so conspicuous that they even shoot out the torches, which is to remind the enemy: you see, after we have gathered our cavalry together and come to the palace, you can pass through the mouth of the swallow with peace of mind, rest assured, there is no ambush there.

But the whole Red Army unit gave the impression that they were going to throw off the enemy behind them at night - at least, the horses of the Red Army cavalry could be faintly visible a mile away in the flickering fire.

As soon as the enemy received this information, one could imagine the situation: Hey, you want to advance in the dark, and you know that the speed of the cavalry will be greatly reduced on a rainy night, so how can you do it? I must tell you today: A cavalry is a cavalry, and whether it is a rainy night or a scorching sun, four legs are always better than your two. Moreover, we must hold you off from a distance, otherwise, when the cavalry division arrives, you will disappear into the vast steppe, how can you let me bear this responsibility -- in fact, the Red Army has long deciphered the enemy's radio code, and has long known from the enemy's frequent telegram exchanges that the enemy cavalry division will meet up with the enemy cavalry regiment at seven o'clock this morning, and at the latest about ten o'clock in the morning. Here's the point: if they want to bite the Red Army, which is suddenly advancing rapidly, they are doomed to have little time to reconnoitre, not to mention God's help, a rainy night!

However, since the enemy dared to boldly attack the headquarters of the Red Army at night, it showed that their commander was not only a bold man, but also a very useful man, and that he had a vicious vision and a wealth of command experience.

Therefore, although they immediately set off to chase after them, they were still quite cautious, especially when they arrived at the mouth of the swallow, they used a little trick......
