Section 40 Bullying the Enemy (3)
Wan Shouhe was as righteous as his name, and was meticulous in defense. Zhuang Jihua looked at it and then suddenly murmured: "Strange, strange, so strange."
Song Yunfei looked at him wonderingly: "Why are there any problems?"
Zhuang Jihua retracted into the bushes and looked up and said, "It's thick and thin, so Xie Hongxun is a bit interesting. Let's go back."
Song Yunfei didn't understand, and stood there without moving. Zhuang Jihua walked a few steps and didn't hear any movement behind him. He looked back at Song Yunfei still stood there stupidly: "Why are you still standing there? Let's go back and talk about it."
Several people quietly disappeared in the forest.
When he returned to the campsite of the first regiment, Song Yunfei was surrounded by several officers to inquire, but Zhuang Jihua took out the map and pondered it carefully.
"What are the deputy commander waiting for?" Song Xiongfu muttered in Yu Chengwan's ear with dissatisfaction: "They are busy having dinner. Take advantage of this time to rush over, and they will definitely finish it.
"That's right, aren't there just two regiments? The two spearmen will collapse as soon as they rush." Liu Jing agreed.
"Don't yell, the deputy commander must have his considerations." Yu Chengwan didn't understand why Zhuang Jihua suddenly stopped moving again.
Several people stopped talking. After a while, they saw Zhuang Jihua calling Xiong Shouyun over. After muttering together for a while, they seemed a little embarrassed to see Xiong Shouyun's expression, but Zhuang Jihua was very firm, and Xiong Shouyun finally nodded.
"It's going to attack." Song Xiongfu, Yu Chengwan, and Liu Jing had this idea at the same time. Then Zhuang Jihua called Song Yunfei and the captain of the reconnaissance team over and pointed to the map to explain the mission to them. Then the two of them took the reconnaissance team and the reconnaissance team to carry out the mission.
The three of them were all puzzled. At this time, they sent the reconnaissance team out. After a while, Xiong Shouyun came over and issued an order: "The whole regiment moved to Laofenshan."
"Why, I won't beat you anymore?" Song Xiongfu asked anxiously.
"Stop talking nonsense, execute orders." Xiong Shouyun pulled down his face and scolded. Everyone was afraid of being angry. Song Xiong's husband didn't dare to say anything else. Liu Jing made a face at him. Song Xiong's husband glared at him with big eyes.
"Why are you still standing there? Take action quickly." Xiong Shouyun urged in a low voice, and the three of them hurried back to the camp.
A regiment quietly withdrew from the tracking route and waited for the distance. The order was handed over in front: "Start up" and the troops were moving faster and faster. After more than an hour, they arrived at Laofen Mountain thirty miles away.
"Everyone rests. Be careful."
Zhuang Jihua himself was worried about the road. The three battalion commanders ran to Xiong Shouyun to inquire about the news. Xiong Shouyun only told them that things might change. Zhuang Jihua suspected that there was a fraud and had sent a reconnaissance team to confirm it.
Song Xiongfu and the other two still didn't understand, how could there be a fraud? Where was the fraud? For a moment, the atmosphere among the senior officers was solemn and tense.
After waiting for about half an hour, Song Yunfei finally came back. Zhuang Jihua hurriedly met Song Yunfei's sweating profusely and asked repeatedly: "How is the situation? Tell me quickly."
Song Yunfei nodded at Zhuang Jihua while rubbing sweat on his face with his sleeves. Zhuang Jihua suddenly felt happy.
"We underestimate Xie Hongxun," Zhuang Jihua called Xiong Shouyun and the three battalion commanders to explain the order just now: "I guess because we have not launched an attack for a long time, Xie Hongxun was already suspicious that our three divisions were bluffing. Yang Zhendong must have asked him for help. Maybe he wouldn't care at first. But if Yang Zhendong asked for help one after another and we never attacked, Xie Hongxun would probably have been sure to determine this morning that he was fooled, but why couldn't he go directly to Tonggu to rescue Yang Zhendong? That's because of our existence. Although Xie Hongxun judged that he was fooled, he still didn't know the strength of our army. If there were fewer people, it would be useless and more. Xiushui might not be able to be saved. So he wanted to lure us out, and Wan Shouhe was the bait he sent. And he followed Wan Shouhe with another brigade behind Wan Shouhe's right."
Zhuang Jihua continued: "The troops of a brigade are just right. Even if we are a division, as long as this brigade can hold for an hour, Xie Hongxun's troops will arrive and will attack on both sides." Zhuang Jihua said as he exclaimed in his heart. He felt strange when observing Wan Shouhe. Wan Shouhe was too cautious, as if he knew he was going to be attacked. When he had dinner, the machine gunners were staying next to the machine gun. Then he felt that it was unreasonable for Xie Hongxun to send a brigade out. If there were three divisions outside, then the brigade was here to die. If the brigade was thrown away, Xiushui would definitely not be able to defend it. What if there were no three divisions outside? Zhuang Jihua began to consider it from Xie Hongxun's standpoint, and then he found that his initial judgment might be too wishful thinking.
"This Wan Shouhe is so great. You walk in front and drag two tails behind to protect him." After the judgment confirmed that Zhuang Jihua felt relaxed and started to joke again.
"What should we do now?" After listening to Zhuang Jihua's introduction, everyone realized that they had just walked in the death trap. When they were breathing a sigh of relief, Liu Jing asked the first question again.
"It's very simple. Xie Hongxun brought out a total of four groups. How many people are there in the city? At most one group, so we went to Xiushui for a walk." Zhuang Jihua said and smiled.
Song Xiongfu and Liu Jing immediately jumped up and applauded, but Yu Chengwan and Xiong Shouyun looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Zhuang Jihua was too brave and dared to attack the city with one group.
"Don't worry, we won't attack the city." Zhuang Jihua saw the worries of Xiong Shouyun and Yu Chengwan: "Phoenix Mountain is the commanding height of Xiushui City. It is condescending and can control the entire city, so we can just capture Phoenix Mountain."
"What should I do in the city?" Xiong Shouyun asked.
"We will definitely not dare to come out if the troops in the city are insufficient. We will not attack Xiushui. As soon as Xie Hongxun's two brigades go back, we will withdraw from Fenghuang Mountain." Zhuang Jihuaman said indifferently, and then ordered: "Stay for another half an hour and take this opportunity to eat something. No fire is allowed, only dry food is allowed. Then we go to Xiushui to take a look."
Phoenix Mountain is like a phoenix spreading its wings to embrace Xiushui County. Wild chrysanthemums in early autumn are everywhere in the mountains. Yellow flowers bloom in the sunset, and the fragrance spreads into the air.
At dusk, Zhuang Jihua and his troops quietly moved to the foot of the mountain. No defenders were found at several passes along the way. The whole regiment immediately became motivated. Zhuang Jihua ordered Yu Chengwan to lead a company to monitor the enemy in the city. The first battalion attacked the main peak. The second battalion launched an attack from the flank. The fifth company and the sixth company of the second battalion were reserves. The reconnaissance company was responsible for reconnaissance movements within ten miles around.
"I only have one request. Hurry, fierce, ruthless. Take Phoenix Mountain for me!" Zhuang Jihua showed fierce face and his tone was full of murderous aura.
"Don't worry, deputy commander, I can't take it down, so I'll come to see you." Song Xiongfu threw down a harsh words and rushed up the mountain with his troops.
"Why did this kid lead the charge? I forgot that he was the battalion commander." Zhuang Jihua cursed, but he was quite satisfied with his courage.
After a while, gunfire sounded like a bean in front of him, followed by the explosion of grenades, and the shouts of charge were particularly loud in the gradually darkening mountains.
Song Xiongfu was found three or four hundred meters away from the enemy's position. He commanded the knife with his left hand and the shell gun with his right hand, and rushed upwards with a fierce roar. The officers and soldiers shouted in unison, and a whirlwind blew into the enemy's position. After a short hand-to-hand battle, the remaining enemies fled to the main peak.
Song Xiong's husband was reluctant to chase the enemy and beat him. After Zhuang Jihua came up, he found that the position was empty and quickly ordered the fifth and sixth companies to arrange defense.
"Mom. This Song Manzi knows how to fight. If an enemy detours from the side at this time, see what he will do." Zhuang Jihua said to Xiong Shouyun angrily.
"Don't worry, he knows that you are worrying about him later. Otherwise, he will give him some courage. He will not dare to fight like this." Xiong Shouyun defended Song Xiongfu: "Besides, the more powerful he fights, the more effective the sneak attacks from Liu Jing will be."
"I said it wasn't this, I mean he should at least leave one person to report the situation to me. How many defenders are there here? How many enemies are there on the mountain?" Zhuang Jihua was dissatisfied: "Come on, let's go and inquire."
The captives were quickly taken down. From their mouths, Zhuang Jihua learned that there was a strengthening regiment on the mountain, but most of them went down the mountain to set off with Xie Hongxun this morning. Now there is only one battalion on the mountain.
"Daonan, you bring the fifth company and the machine gun company to strive to win the main peak in the shortest time." Zhuang Jihua said to Xiong Shouyun: "The same thing, hurry, fierce, and ruthless."
"Yes, hurry, fierce, fierce!" Xiong Shouyun turned around and yelled at the fifth company commander: "Fifth company comes with me!"
The fifth company commander was overjoyed when he heard this, ran to his company and shouted, "Fifth Company gathered!"
The sixth company commander said to Zhuang Jihua in dissatisfaction: Deputy Commander, why is the fifth company? We should go to the front."
"What's the hurry! If you have any war, you can fight." Zhuang Jihua said viciously: "Now you can set up defenses everywhere, and there must be open and secret whistles. Don't let others attack our sneak attack."
"Yes." The sixth company commander agreed weakly.
"Be more energetic! Do you want to fight next time?"
"Yes!" the sixth company commander replied loudly.
When Xiong Shouyun stepped up, Song Xiongfu was suppressed on the mountainside more than 70 meters away from the main peak. The enemy's two machine guns spit out two fire dragons, locking their way forward. Song Xiongfu organized two charges, but failed to break through the enemy's blockade.
"Organize the cover group." Xiong Shouyun was a little angry when he saw Song Xiongfu rushing up. Zhuang Jihua had organized training for this assault tactic, but Song Xiongfu forgot about it with passion.
Song Xiongfu slapped his forehead, turned around and went down to the back to summon the company commanders and said: "According to the usual training method, each company immediately organizes a cover group, an assault group, and a support group. In fifteen minutes, attacking the top together."
Xiong Shouyun brought the machine gun and set up the machine gun to shoot against the enemies on the mountain, attracting the enemy's fire. After a while, the cover group quietly took the position. Three sharpshooters dealt with a machine gun. The divine pitcher (only two of the whole group were found) quietly crawled over under the night and lurked under a rock. The assault group of forty or fifty people all took a bayonet and lay quietly in the grass. "Start!" Xiong Shouyun said coldly with his eyes.
Bang, bang, several gunshots in succession, followed by two explosions, and the enemy machine gun suddenly became hoarse. The assault group jumped up and rushed towards the top of the peak quickly, and the sound of killing soared into the sky.
The enemy's position was panicked, and screams came from time to time. After a while, the enemy's machine guns rang again. However, this time it was short. In less than a minute, the gunshot stopped. But in just a few minutes, the assault group soldiers reached three or four people.
Just as the enemy was convinced and brave enough to prepare for the assault team, gunfire came from the flanks again, and Liu Jing led the third battalion to attack.
In the night, I don’t know how many Northern Expedition Army were, but I only heard the sound of killing. Xie Jun panicked, threw down his weapons and ran away.
Gan Shijun on the north city tower listened to the fiery gunshots on Phoenix Mountain and was so anxious that he was wandering around. After hearing the gunshots at the command center, he immediately brought people to the North City, but he could not send troops. There were only two battalions in the entire Xiushui City. It was not enough to defend the city with this amount of troops, so how could he talk about sending troops to aid Phoenix Mountain?
"Master's seat, Master's seat, you're fooled by someone else." Gan Shijun first said to himself, then ordered loudly: "Send a few more people to leave the city separately, and ask Master's seat to return to the city immediately. Tell Master's seat that Phoenix Mountain has been lost and the water cultivation is in danger."
As he was talking, the gunshots in Phoenix Mountain were sparse, and Gan Shijun knew what that meant. Now he could only sigh to the sky and pray that Xie Hongxun could come back as soon as possible.
After a while, there was a loud noise in Tongtong under the city, and someone was shouting loudly.
"Deputy Commander, it's the landlord of Battalion Commander Sun, open the door, right?" Yu Zhimu, the commander who left the city to guard the city, asked.
Gan Shijun shook his head: "Let them go to Ximen, and you should go too. Be very careful, as there may be a Northern Expedition Army in it."
Yu Zhimu had a cold war, took a company of people and rushed to the west gate.
"Deputy Commander, Deputy Commander," Song Xiongfu ran into the temporary command center of Zhuang Jihua. When he saw Zhuang Jihua, he shouted: "Let's attack the city. I understand. There are only two battalions in the city, and one charges and takes it down."
Zhuang Jihua didn't even raise his head, just looked at the map with the lantern. Song Xiongfu stepped beside him in two steps: "Cultural Revolution, Deputy Commander, just give orders, you can't take the Xiushui..."
"You want to come and see you again?" Zhuang Jihua stared at the map and drew a line on the map with a red pencil.
“Yes, yes.”
