Three thousand words chapter
....................
In Duanjiagou, east of Duanjiabao Village.
"Damn it! Why haven't these bastards of the Jinsui Army sent reinforcements? I've been squatting here for an entire day!"
At this moment, the commander of the 4th Regiment, Zheng Daxing, was pacing back and forth in his temporary command post.
It was already past nine o'clock at night, but he still hadn't received any news of the Jinsui Army going out to provide support. This was really surprising.
"Could it be that they have given up on the regiment in the west?”
Zheng Daxing couldn't help but mutter to himself after walking two rounds.
"No, I can't! Impossible! If they were to give up on that place, their days would not be good either!”
Zheng Daxing denied it.
"Guild Leader, they're here! They came down from the mountain."
At this moment, a soldier ran in with a hint of joy.
"What did you say? They came down from the mountain?"
Zheng Daxing was stunned at first, then he hurriedly walked out of the hidden temporary command center and headed outside.
..........
"From the sound of it, there aren't many people! There doesn't seem to be a single group!"
As it was night, Zheng Daxing could not see how many people there were. He could only vaguely see the fire they were fighting and the sound of marching at night. The sound was not loud and loud.
From this, Zheng Daxing judged that they did not have many people.
"Gou 'zi, go tell the second regiment commander Huang Ke that we are ready to attack at any time!”
"Yes, sir!"
.........
"All battalions, prepare for battle. Wait for them to enter the encirclement. The 3rd Battalion will immediately cut off their retreat.”
Zheng Daxing looked at the fire between their teams and said to the messenger beside him.
"Yes, sir!"
Immediately, a messenger went to convey Zheng Daxing's order.
Time slowly passed, but the Jinsui Army did not advance quickly. Perhaps they didn't think that there would be many people who would ambush them at night!
"Just a little more! Just a little more!"
? Zheng Daxing looked at the team with flames and shouted in his heart.
"Now! Prepare to fire the flare! Kill them!"
When he saw the troops of the Jinsui Army completely enter the encirclement, Zheng Daxing immediately shouted.
Following that, flares began to shoot into the sky.
.......................
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The two battalions of the Jinsui Army that were originally marching suddenly discovered countless bright things appearing in the sky.
The two battalion commanders inside had graduated from either military schools or lecture halls.
They naturally understood that this was a flare.
If a flare suddenly appeared, and it hit the top of their heads, it meant that someone was going to ambush them.
"Bang ~"
"Bang ~"
"Da ~"
As the flares rose into the air, countless gunshots began to ring out.
The light and heavy machine guns began to roar.
Previously, they had been lying in ambush in the trench. However, this trench was a disguised trench. It was covered with hay and other things so that no one could discover it.
Once they moved, they immediately pushed away the hay above their heads and began to shoot at the Jinsui Army.
The two battalions of the Jinsui Army that had gone to support Wang Ming were instantly beaten silly that night.
They hadn't expected that the Pingyuan Army would ambush them at the foot of the mountain.
At such a close distance, they dared to ambush here. One had to say that they were really bold.
"Everyone, fix your bayonet! Go and capture these people alive!"
Zheng Daxing saw that it was almost time and immediately shouted.
One had to know that this place was very close to Shentangwan Village. If Lu Yinglin knew that the reinforcements he sent out were ambushed, he would definitely send someone out.
At that time, they would work together from the inside and outside, and his advantage would be lost.
Moreover, Zheng Daxing also knew that the purpose of this ambush was to kill as many of the Jinsui Army's forces as possible, not to fight them head-on.
As Zheng Daxing's 4th Regiment began to charge, Huang Ke's 2nd Regiment also began to mount their bayonet and attack the Jinsui Army together with the 4th Regiment.
Meanwhile, flares were still being fired in the sky.
Under the illumination of the flares, the Jin Suijun soldiers who were ambushed seemed to see the Pingyuan Army soldiers all over the mountains.
"Don't shoot, we surrender! We surrender!"
The Pingyuan Army soldiers were like the last straw that crushed the Jin Suijun soldiers.
They were already in a daze after being attacked at night.
There were all kinds of nervousness and uneasiness in his heart.
Now that they saw that there were so many people on the other side, they immediately felt fear.
Countless soldiers of the Jinsui Army began to raise their weapons above their heads.
"It's over just like that?"
Zheng Daxing looked at the soldiers of the Suijin Army who were standing on the spot with their hands raised, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
He had originally thought that he would have a good night battle, but who knew that victory would be so easy.
That night, they ambushed them, fired a round of bullets, and then charged under the illumination of the flares. They surrendered.
"Forget it! Let's go! Suppress them, let's retreat!"
In the end, Zheng Daxing and Huang Ke led their men to retreat.
Initially, they thought that the other party would send a team to support them.
Even Han Ling thought so, but Lu Yinglin did not send a team.
They only sent two infantry battalions with 1,600 to 1,700 soldiers.
........................................
Shentangwan Village, in the semi-underground bunker command post of the 44th Division
"Zhu Qing, have the troops been sent out?”
Lu Yinglin stood alone in front of the observation port, looking at the pitch-black night sky and couldn't help but ask.
"They've all been sent out! Two infantry battalions. Master, did we send too few? I heard that the situation over at the First Regiment is quite critical. We've only sent two battalions, but I'm afraid it's not enough!”
Li Mingding looked at Lu Yinglin who was standing there and could not help but ask.
"Zhuqing, I had no choice.
Now, they could only use their troops sparingly.
Don't forget, we still have to defend this place for two days and one night.
Today, the Pingyuan Army failed to attack the First Regiment's position. Tomorrow, they will target us. This is not a good time for us to be careful.
Therefore, I had to have some reserves in my hands no matter what, so that I could use them at the crucial moment. Otherwise, without the reserve team, we won't be able to react to any situation!”
Lu Yinglin had no choice but to do this.
"Sigh! Master."
"Bang ~"
"Bang ~"
"Da ~"
Just as Li Mingding was about to say something, a series of gunshots suddenly came from the foot of the mountain. Moreover, it was extremely intense.
"What happened? Where do you shoot?"
Lu Yinglin shouted when he heard the gunshot.
"Men! Send someone down the mountain to see what's going on?”
When Lu Yinglin heard the gunshot coming from the foot of the mountain, he was stunned.
However, his expression immediately changed. He felt as if he had walked into a trap.
When Lu Yinglin sent someone down the mountain to check on what was going on, it didn't take long. Not even half an hour had passed.
The gunshots actually stopped.
This caused Lu Yinglin's expression to change again. At the same time, he could not help but frown.
If the previous gunshots were from the Pingyuan Army ambushing their own reinforcements, wasn't the duration of these gunshots too short?
How long had it been?
Not even half an hour had passed.
"Did they finish the battle in half an hour?”
An idea popped up in Lu Yinglin's mind.
Then, he shook his head and denied it.
"Impossible! The two battalions that he had sent out had more than 1,700 people. How could they be taken care of in less than half an hour?”
.........................
After a while, the soldiers who went out to investigate finally returned.
"Master! We found the bodies of our soldiers near Duanjiagou. They are suspected to be from the Second and Third Regiments. I think they might have been ambushed, but I can't find out the exact situation!”
This was the scout soldier's reply.
"Found a corpse? Suspected? Did you find anything else useful?”
Lu Yinglin frowned deeply.
"No! Because the sky was too dark, we didn't find anything else for the time being!”
"Forget it! You can leave now!"
Lu Yinglin waved his hand in frustration.
"Yes, sir!"
After saluting, the scout soldier left.
Lu Yinglin was left pacing around the command center while Li Mingding watched from the side.
"Zhuqing, send a telegram to the First Regiment. Tell them that we have already sent two battalions of reinforcements to them, but they are suspected to have been ambushed by the Pingyuan Army.”
"Yes, sir! Master!"
Li Mingding also knew that Lu Yinglin was worried about this, so he went to send the message.
At this moment, Lu Yinglin felt a little helpless because their battalion-level troops were not equipped with a radio.
However, his equipment had reached the first level.
Now that he had lost contact with the two battalions, he had no way of contacting them.
........................................
While Lu Yinglin was panicking in his command post, Zheng Daxing and Huang Ke returned with more than a thousand captives.
"Marshal! Lu Yinglin didn't send many people, only two infantry battalions, which was 1700 people. This, you see, we caught him in an instant!”
Zheng Daxing stood in front of Han Ling and said helplessly.
"There are more than 1,700 people here?"
Han Ling asked as he looked at the long line of captives.
"No! There were more than a thousand people! There were less than 1,700 of them, and we killed quite a few of them before!”
"Yes! He brought them to the prisoner of war camp at the back and sent someone to watch over them. Let your soldiers rest! Since Lu Yinglin only sent two battalions, then two battalions it was! Tomorrow, we will launch the final attack!”
Han Ling felt helpless about this. He had thought that Lu Yinglin would at least send a regiment of reinforcements.
Who knew that there were only two battalions? It seemed that there would be a lot of fighting in Shentangwan Village tomorrow.
