Legendary star: Signed to the Palace at the beginning

Chapter 52
Wang Jinshan pointed to the map and ordered: "The devils will enter Qigen Village from the east stone gate, turn to the northwest after reaching the southwest of the village, pass through the West Pavilion, and follow the road on the south side of Shixiagou to the direction of Pingding. You 12 The company lay in ambush on the hillside outside the east entrance of Qigen Village, serving as the main attacker, waiting for the enemy to enter the ambush circle, letting go of the vanguard of the Japanese army, and mainly attacking his luggage troops. Your company is responsible for seizing the Japanese army's luggage. On the road a few miles long, they were responsible for cutting off the connection between the vanguard of the Japanese army and the logistics troops behind, and preventing the enemy infantry from returning to their logistics troops. The 11th and 9th companies were used as reserves and assembled at the Qingnao Highland on the south side of Qigen Village. Stand by and form an encirclement against the enemy to prevent the Japanese army from seizing and taking advantage of the terrain to resist stubbornly, and ensure that the 10th company can successfully eliminate the enemy's heavy equipment.

The 11th company, the 12th company, and the platoon leader of the brigade special service company were very happy to hear that their company could directly participate in the battle. Only the two company commanders of the 9th and 10th companies were a little depressed. Let’s go.”【1】

Wang Jinshan said: "You were the main attackers in the last battle, this time the 11th and 12th companies are the main attackers, you wait for the next time."

What did the two company commanders want to say, Wang Jinshan glared, and said: "Obey the order, hurry up and set up a position."

The two company commanders didn't dare to talk nonsense, they hurriedly stood at attention and said, "Yes."

Wang Jinshan said to the commander of the third battalion: "Send a few more groups of scouts to find out the enemy's situation, and then you and I will check the position again and do a good job of concealment."

The positions of the ambush troops are only 30 meters away from the avenue, and the farthest is no more than 50 meters.

The soldiers all wore hats made of thatch or woven branches, and some were lying on the edge of the trench, on guard.

Some were sitting in the trenches, eating cold steamed bread or fried noodles, some were carefully cleaning their guns, and some were writing letters.

Xiao Chuan asked curiously, "What are they writing about?"

Yang Shaoqing said: "The soldiers are writing suicide notes."

Xiao Chuan said to himself, "Write a suicide note?"

Yang Shaoqing said: "No one knows whether they can survive after the battle, so the soldiers have already formed the habit of writing a suicide note before the battle."

Soon, more than 800 suicide notes were completed. Yang Shaoqing put the suicide notes in a grenade box, handed them to Xiao Chuan, and said, "Xiao Chuan, please keep these suicide notes for me first. I want to kill a few more enemies today." , if I don’t sacrifice, you will return it to me.”

Xiao Chuan took the box and felt that it was as heavy as Mount Tai. His eyes were a little red, and he said hoarsely: "Okay, I will definitely keep it safe."

Suddenly, a scout ran over and panted, "Report to the regiment commander, the detour troops of the 20th Division of the Fusang Army have invaded Pingding County, and more than 1000 members of its logistics troops camped in Ceyu Town, 10 kilometers away from Qigen Village, last night. .Now we have left Ceyu Town and headed westward, and it is estimated that we will reach Qigen Village after dawn."

Wang Jinshan said: "How many troops does the devil have?"

The scout said: "The devils have a supply force of thousands of people, hundreds of carts, and two squadrons of escort troops, including more than 100 devil cavalry."

Wang Jinshan shouted: "Yang Shaoqing."

Yang Shaoqing ran over in a hurry, stood at attention, gave a military salute, and said, "Say."

Wang Jinshan said solemnly: "I have ordered the 3rd Battalion to ambush in the abandoned fortifications, and the special agent company to ambush in Dongshimen, blocking the exit, and all of them will enter the fighting state, and stay in ambush. Even if the devil's bullet hits the body, without my order, Don't move, and don't shoot yourself."

"Yes."

Yang Shaoqing paid a military salute again, and ran to convey the order.

Xiao Chuan immediately started the "Time and Space Live" recording.

As the sky gradually dawned, Xiao Chuan lay on the trench, becoming more and more nervous. After all, it was his first time participating in a battle. Who knew if he would die if he was shot?

"System, if I am killed in historical time and space, will I really die?"

The system did not answer.

Xiao Chuan was uncertain, his heart became heavy, and his body trembled unknowingly.

Suddenly feeling someone tap on the shoulder, Xiao Chuan turned his head and saw that it was Wang Jinshan.

"Don't be afraid, the first time you go to the battlefield, you will be a little nervous, and you will even pee your pants. You won't be afraid when you really fight. When you watch your comrades fall down one by one, get injured or even die, your heart will only be filled with anger and hatred. You fear will be replaced by courage."

"Thank you, Commander Wang."

"I was also afraid when I went to the battlefield for the first time. Later, when I thought that if I didn't kill the enemy, I would die myself, so I fought hard."

"Captain Wang, you are a born warrior."

"Nothing is natural. I used to fight only to rush and fight. I thought that I was a good commander by taking the lead. Later, Master Liu enlightened me and said, 'A commander can't equate himself with a soldier who charges into battle, because you still Giving orders is the key to success or failure. It is not enough to have the courage of Lu Bu and the fierceness of Xiahou. You must also have the strategy of the ovary and the wisdom of Kong Ming...'Let me learn from Lu Meng, and I have grown to where I am today. "

Xiao Chuan chatted with Wang Jinshan, and his nervous mood gradually relaxed.

"Revolutionary martyrs are not afraid of sacrifice. I am also a son and daughter of China. I have enjoyed a happy life for more than 20 years. I have earned it. I am afraid of it!"

His mood changed, and Xiao Chuan was also in the mood to observe the terrain.

Qigen Village is located at the junction of Pingding, Xiyang, and Jingxing counties. The village of Qigen Village is shaped like a natural stone basin, with vertical and horizontal gullies, strange peaks, steep canyons, dangerous roads, a thousand-year-old road, and a western entrance.

From Qigen Village to the east to the ruins of the Shimen Great Wall, there is a 10-mile-long Grand Canyon with a depth of 10 meters and a width of less than 3 meters at the bottom. On the ridge, the fortifications of the Jinsui Army were built on the ridges. The fortifications are only tens of meters away from the mountain road, and the north of the road is a ravine and cliff tens of meters deep.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Xiao Chuan heard the sound of a car engine.

"The devil is coming!"

Perhaps because the devil's stronghold, Ceyu Town, is only 10 kilometers away from Qigen Village, which is regarded as the back. The vanguard of the army's cavalry entered the canyon mountain road.

The 200 cavalry troops of the Fusang Army passed by below, and Xiao Chuan could see their faces clearly, so he held his breath and clenched the red-tasseled spear in his hand.

The supply troops saw that the cavalry troops in front had walked in for 1 kilometer, and there was no movement, so they were relieved, so a devil officer waved his hand, and the cars, mules, horse carts, and camels loaded with supplies entered the ambush area of ​​the 772 regiment. At this time, more than 100 devils who were covering behind had just arrived at Dongshimen.

At the beginning of the supply unit were several large trucks, with Type 7.7 4mm heavy machine guns mounted on the cabs of the large trucks, and 8 machine gun shooters, including a commander, a shooter, and two assistant shooters carrying ammunition. The waist is equipped with a bastard box.There is also a squad leader and 50 riflemen, all carrying 2 large covers, and two [-]mm grenadiers. 【[-]】
