Yu Chenglong explained the task to Captain Li Zhongjiang, and explained the task to Battalion Commander Jiang in detail, and while explaining the task, he also analyzed it, in order to let the two of them understand the intention more deeply.

"It should be said that the Xing'an Army still has some combat effectiveness, especially the combat effectiveness of the horse may be better than ours, so we can't compete with them and fight immediately.

The eastern slopes are gentler and not too high, and the enemy may take the high ground on horseback in battle, so the fire should be fierce, and do not rush over and crush the enemy before they can recover their breath.

Let Bi Ming follow you, and I will prepare in Xishan with the people left behind by Captain Li tomorrow, and we will meet tomorrow night, and then determine the specific combat mission according to the situation. Okay, now go back and get ready, and act according to the plan! ”

Yu Chenglong issued an order, and Captain Li Zhongjiang and Battalion Commander Jiang were ready to arrange it immediately, and the two of them felt that under the personal command of the commander-in-chief, they could not only achieve their goals, but also definitely fight a beautiful and happy battle.

"Yes, resolutely follow the commander-in-chief's orders, and the garrison will definitely be brought over!"

Li Zhongjiang confidently stated that he often studied the war with Commander-in-Chief Yu Jackie Chan, and his trust and admiration for Jackie Chan had long been rooted in his heart, and Battalion Commander Jiang was also an old subordinate, of course, he respected Commander-in-Chief Jackie Chan very much.

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief. The brothers haven't fought for more than a year, and they are full of energy, and when they heard that the commander-in-chief came to the battlefield in person, don't mention the excitement! ”

"I don't know how many people the enemy will send? We must not only be prepared to fight more with less, but also be prepared to evacuate at any time, not this time, we have next time, we can't let the brothers have too much loss.

Tell the brothers that we must not only have confidence, but also be prepared to fight a tough battle, and at the same time let the brothers know that our operation is in the name of the Manchurian Volunteer Army, and we cannot reveal our true identity, otherwise we will lose all our achievements. ”

Yu Chenglong further instructed that he knew that the brothers were brave in battle, and the actual combat ability of the Anbei garrison was not very strong, even if it was to fight more with less, he had a chance of winning, but if he really encountered difficulties, he should retreat at any time.

"Yes, obey orders!" Li Zhongjiang and Battalion Commander Jiang left separately to make arrangements. Yu Chenglong led more than a dozen brothers from Li Zhongjiang's brigade to camp behind Xishan to rest with heavy weapons.

Before dawn the next day, Li Zhongjiang led the team to set off, and it was estimated that he would be able to arrive in Alxa in the morning. After Yu Chenglong and his brothers finished eating, they began to go up the hill to build fortifications. After arranging two small cannons and four machine guns, we began to dig bunkers.

In the evening, the men sent by Captain Li Zhongjiang reported that they had succeeded in attracting about 100 garrisons to come for reinforcements, and were now pursuing Captain Li and them, more than forty miles from here.

Yu Chenglong asked the brother who came back to report the situation to rest first, and then sent another person to reconnoiter the situation in the direction of Alxa Town. He then immediately went to the hiding place of Camp Commander Jiang and told him about the situation.

"The enemy is about forty miles away, it is estimated that they will not pursue here tonight, these teams who have not fought before, I am afraid they will not be so desperate, and besides, they are not good at night fighting.

I see that your fortifications are almost finished, so let the brothers rest in the bunker and prepare for the battle tomorrow morning! I estimate that the Anbei garrison will definitely come tomorrow morning, but not necessarily too early. ”

Yu Chenglong explained to Camp Commander Jiang. He mainly came to see how the fortifications were being repaired, and after a round he felt very satisfied. Battalion Commander Jiang also introduced as he walked, and he was also very confident in the fortifications.

"The fortifications are well maintained so that they do not arouse suspicion."

"I watched it, and it was good. I still have to go over there and wait for Captain Li's letter, you can rest here in seclusion, and I will come back in the middle of the night and join you in the battle tomorrow. ”

Yu Chenglong left after explaining, and went to the Xishan position to wait for the news of Captain Li Zhongjiang. At more than ten o'clock in the evening, Li Zhongjiang came back with the team and immediately reported the situation to Yu Chenglong.

"The garrison sent about 100 men in pursuit of us, but as soon as it was dark, they set up camp in a large depression more than forty miles from the town, and did not come to pursue us. I had to rush back with my brothers, please tell me what to do next? ”

"It's not that they won't chase it, but they're afraid of getting dark. Rest assured, they'll be chasing you tomorrow morning. Now go and set up camp at the mouth of the ravine, where you cook, and lay your horses there to graze, and when you have eaten your meal, go to the west mountain to meet your brothers.

Continue to send two brothers to scout their news, it is estimated that they will also send people to scout, don't alarm them. When their large forces arrive tomorrow, we will launch a two-sided attack.

Take the artillery bombardment on the opposite side as the order, shoot light and heavy weapons together, let the brothers prepare more grenades, and strive to wipe out most of their strength with one blow, and when the Jiang battalion commander on the opposite side attacked, let the brothers rush down the ditch, be ruthless! ”

"Resolutely follow the orders of the commander-in-chief!"

Li Zhongjiang looked very excited, and he also estimated that the Anbei garrison would come to pursue early tomorrow morning, because if they didn't want to pursue anymore, they would definitely retreat to their lair and not set up camp on the way.

"Xishan's side will be handed over to you, let Jiao Cheng cooperate with you. I'll go to Dongshan and fight with Battalion Commander Jiang and them, and I wish us success! ”

After Yu Chenglong finished speaking, he left and went to the ambush site of Camp Commander Jiang. At this time, it was already very late, and Yu Chenglong entered the bunker after coming to the Dongshan position, and rested and slept in the bunker like his brothers.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, the brother who had gone to reconnoiter came back in a hurry to report that the enemy had left before dawn and was chasing him this way, and the speed was not slow, and it was estimated that he was now less than twenty miles away from here.

Yu Chenglong stood up and looked into the distance, there was no movement, and the camp at the mouth of the ravine in the west was still smoking, and the war horses were also grazing leisurely.

It is said that it is a ravine, in fact, it is a passage sandwiched by two mounds, and it is very wide, but people walk at the bottom of the ravine, it is difficult to find the hidden situation on both sides of the mound, so wild wolves often sneak up here to attack cattle and sheep that accidentally enter the ditch.

But since Yu Chenglong brought the team here, he has not found any wild wolves coming in and out, and it seems that this wild wolf ditch is not worthy of its name. Of course, so many people came, even if there were wild wolves, they didn't dare to show their faces at this time.

Although there are a lot of wild wolves on the grassland, most of them feed on wild yellow sheep and hares, and they dare not easily attack the cattle and sheep of the herdsmen's houses, of course, they dare not attack humans, and they can't hide yet.
