The wounded soldier didn't know if he was stupid, or if he felt "guilty" and misled the company commander, but it was more likely that his injuries were too serious, and the severe pain made him rather die than stay in this world, anyway, when the company commander's pistol was pointed at his head, he not only did not beg for mercy, but showed a smile.

The smile on his face infuriated the company commander even more.

The company commander spat out, and then pulled the trigger fiercely: "Smack-"

The soldier's head shook a little, a stream of dirty blood spurted out of his forehead, his head tilted, and he died.

The enemy company commander naturally did not know that he had wronged this soldier. Enraged, he rushed to the place where Wang Shitai and their hiding place with the remaining forty or so men.

But they saw only a field of yellow bullet shells, only the dead grass that was lying down, and there was no sign of people in the woods, only a few screaming crows flying in the sky.

The company commander looked at the pale faces of his subordinates and looked at the vast mountains in front of him, he did not dare to wave his troops to follow the pursuit of the Red Army, so he had to send soldiers to guard nearby, and he stayed where he was waiting for the large troops, feeling uneasy.

When the battalion commander listened to the company commander's report, the first thing he was rewarded was a few big slaps, followed by a scolding, but the large army stopped advancing.

Because the battalion commander did not dare to move forward rashly, he only dared to wait for the order of the regiment commander before acting.

The regiment commander was much more courageous than the battalion commander and the company commander, and he yelled with hatred: "You are all stupid! Hearing the arrival of our central army, the communists and bandits have long since become frightened birds, they are slowing down the march of our army, and it is a small unit that is scratching us, and you are so cowering that you have fallen for the tricks of the communists and bandits, that is, they have more time to dig trenches and repair fortifications. Let's go! Let's go! Give me chase! Whoever delays the fighter plane, I will kill him! ……”

However, before the enemy commander could scold, he heard several gunshots from the front, followed by several screams. Needless to say, several more soldiers of the Central Army were attacked.

The regimental commander not only did not feel anything unusual, but thought that these gunshots confirmed his thoughts: the purpose of the Communists and bandits was to delay their advance, that is, to buy them time.

He waved his hand and yelled, "Chase me!" ”

The Central Army immediately pursued forward like a tidal wave.

Wang Shitai did not immediately counterattack, but after withdrawing from the two-mile road, they ambushed a battalion of troops at a mountain junction and waited for the attack of the Central Army. Here the soldiers had already dug trenches, built bunkers and positions for them in advance, which was far better than hastily finding a place before.

Because the Central Army was in pursuit, it did not send sharp soldiers to die, but a large army pursued fiercely with the traces left by Wang Shitai's security detachment. Whether it was the regiment commander, battalion commander, company commander, or even the small soldiers of the Central Army, they all thought that this Red Army, like the Red Army two days earlier, was a weak army, and they were all short of guns and ammunition, and as long as the army pressed, the other side would have to flee as before, and they did not think at all that this was a plan to lure the enemy.

What's more, there is a steady stream of powerful troops behind them, even if they are really desperately surrounded by these Red Army, they are not afraid, and when the time comes, they can also cooperate with the large army behind them, come to a center to blossom, and cut down the grass and eradicate the Red Army, which does not know the height of the sky.

In this way, the contribution of their vanguard force will be even greater.

Through the observation of the regimental commander and his knowledge of the battlefield situation, he believed that the fleeing Red Army was exactly what he expected, and both the fighting style and the weapons and equipment were similar to what he had imagined. The Red Army used small units to block attacks layer by layer, playing the old hit-and-run tactics of the past, trying to drag and exhaust the Central Army, but they did not know that this set of tactics was a joke at all in the face of absolute strength.

Seeing the wounded and corpses carried to the side of the road one by one, the regiment commander scolded Bai Chongxi's Gui army in his heart, and greeted Bai Chongxi's ancestors and eighteen generations of female surnames, if it weren't for Bai Chongxi's incompetence of the Gui army, if it weren't for the Gui army's desperate defense of the central army from entering their territory, how could the scattered Red Army gather, how could there be so many weapons? How could his own men have suffered such heavy casualties?

Seeing that the Central Army was panting and chasing after them, and seeing them enter the distance set in his heart, Wang Shitai shouted: "Comrades, the time has come to avenge your comrades, give me a hard beating!" ”

"Dada-da-"

"Boom!"

Rifle pistols rang out, grenades exploded, light and heavy machine guns rang out, and there was even the explosion of 60 mortar shells. The soldiers of the Central Army who were running in front were shot and fell to the ground one after another, and the chaotic procession was like a seedling swept by a sickle, and a large piece fell at once, and screams broke out.

Hearing the sound of gunfire, the enemy behind quickly lay down, and the well-trained they quickly looked for a place to counterattack, many soldiers quickly looked for a place to hide, and light and heavy machine guns also began to look for a position to occupy.

Under the command of the regiment commander, the mortars strapped to the mules and horses were also quickly unloaded and began to be assembled.

The regimental commander of this center-corps only observed the battlefield a little, and immediately judged that the enemy in front of him was about the size of a battalion, and although there were three 60 mortars, it was not enough for him to be afraid.

Commanding him, he immediately ordered one battalion to continue the main attack to attract fire, while the other two battalions, who had just arrived on the battlefield, outflanked them from the left and right flanks.

However, not long after the two outflanked battalions set out, the fire on the opposite side fell silent, except for the smoke that filled the air, which showed that there had been a battle just now, and now it seemed quiet.

The commanders of the three battalions hesitated and slowed down. The regimental commander in command behind could not figure out whether the Red Army was retreating or waiting.

However, the battalion that was the main attacker soon received good news that the enemy had really retreated, and that they had fled in such a hurry that they had thrown not only a few broken rifles, but also two broken 60 mortars. But on the road ahead, the Red Army had already laid a lot of mines, and some of them were simply thrown on the road and in the grass. Four of the soldiers in the first squad were killed and three were seriously wounded when they stepped on a mine in the grass. So they didn't dare to chase too fast, they didn't dare to follow too closely.

The regiment commander was reasonable, and did not scold the battalion commander for being greedy for life and fear of death, nor did he force them to pursue quickly, but let them clear the obstacles for the main force behind while following the traces left by the other side. He also gave the order for the two outflanked battalions to return to the main force - since the enemy in front had already fled, it would be a joke to outflank them again, and it would be a waste of time to walk more.

The Central Army just stopped and went, and was led by Wang Shitai's security detachment in the direction of Jianghua County. On the way, they also buried pots and cooked rice on the road. One of the pilot battalions entered the village for lunch, and scared the villagers into running around. A villager was killed by the soldiers of the Central Army because they were dissatisfied with the slaughter of his family's cattle by the soldiers of the Central Army, and the family of five, including an 80-year-old lady and two children under the age of 10, died.

While the Central Army was resting for lunch, the entire security detachment was digging trenches and building fortifications at a place called Jianziling. Their lunch was so short that no one even sat down to eat, and they were all working with fragrant compressed biscuits and nibbling on them.

Just as people who have never eaten instant noodles in modern times think that instant noodles are delicious, the soldiers of the security detachment also think that these compressed biscuits are more delicious than anything else. Instead of disgusted by the monotonous taste of the biscuits, they now find it a rare delicacy.

Jianziling is a steep mountain, about 8.5 kilometers away from Jianghua County. Occupying this mountain peak can hold the traffic artery in the north of Jianghua County, not only can control the road leading to Daoxian County and Quanzhou at the foot of the mountain, but also can control the Fengshui River that enters and exits Jianghua County not far from the foot of the mountain, and the strategic location is extremely important.

In the morning, Wang Shitai brought out only one battalion of troops to participate in the blockade, while the remaining 800 soldiers of the security detachment, under the leadership of Wang Fugui, deputy detachment leader, rushed to repair fortifications and build positions here.

Wang Fugui knew his ability, and knew that he was almost an honorary surname sitting in this position, which did not mean that he really had any command ability, so he naturally did not interfere too much in the construction of fortifications, but asked his chief of staff to arrange these things.

Waiting for the news of the two victories of the blocking troops, the officers and men who built the fortifications here were full of enthusiasm one by one, and those regimental soldiers who had changed their identities, including Wang Fugui, no longer had the nervousness they had at the beginning, and they were more and more full of confidence in the future and in the defeat of the Central Army this time.

In their opinion, the Central Army can't even beat the security detachment, and when the first, second, and third brigades make a move, they won't immediately become a piece of fat, and the Red Army can cut it as much as it wants?

These group members were also elated, thinking that they were following the right person. As long as you can win the war, who can't you fight against? The Gui army can't even compare with the central army, and it used to follow the Gui army, but now it finally has a big backer. As for fighting the Central Army, they didn't have a pimple in their hearts, because what the Gui Army had been propagating was that the Central Army always wanted to occupy the territory of the Gui Army and was the enemy of the Gui Army.

By the time Wang Shitai arrived with his troops, the fortifications here had been almost repaired.

As soon as these officers and men who had won the battle arrived, the morale of Jianziling was even higher, because after these officers and men entered the position, they began to talk about the two battles just now, and they were all elated and relaxed, and they talked about the battle with the Central Army as if they were drinking egg soup.
