It was in the afternoon, the teaching brigade marched for most of the day, without rest, during which there was also an encounter with the Japanese army, as the vanguard, the teaching brigade left the 65th regiment behind it more than 10 kilometers away, there happened to be a village here, Zhang Wei decided, for the time being, rest for a while.

The soldiers attacked and searched for most of the day, and the soldiers were tired, and the baggage soldiers and the soldiers of the heavy fire squadron who did not go into battle behind were also tired.

Bullets, grenades, blasting canisters, carrying it is not a small burden.

When it's time to rest, it's time to rest, and Zhang Wei doesn't and doesn't want to overuse soldiers.

He ordered the whole brigade to occupy this uninhabited village, the first squadron was on the left flank of the road and directly entered the village, the second squadron was on the right side of the road, the third squadron was stationed on the periphery of the village on the left to rest, and the heavy fire squadron, baggage platoon, engineer platoon, and the brigade headquarters were stationed in the village with the first squadron.

This arrangement is also just in case, the village is on the left side of the road, there are straw piles and abandoned fields on the side of the village, although there are no villages on the right side of the road, there are also straw piles, which is convenient for the troops to hide, so that the troops can maintain the original marching formation, control the left and right flanks of the road respectively, and if they collide with the Japanese army, it is also easy to take precautions.

After each squadron enters the designated position, it replenishes dry food and drinking water, and it is the first squadron in the village that is responsible for finding water, and if there are people living in the village, then eighty percent of them have wells, and the grain can be carried by themselves, and drinking water cannot be carried in large quantities.

Sure enough, there were several wells in the village, and the soldiers of the first squadron first tested the poison to see if the water source was clean, and then asked the cooking squad to make a concealed stove to boil water to supply the water source of the whole brigade.

To say that the soldiers of the first squadron are still the most happy, they can be directly stationed in the village, and they can naturally live in abandoned houses, which is much better than the soldiers of the second and third squadrons.

Enjoying the best conditions, it is also appropriate to boil water for the other brothers in the brigade. Zhang Wei took the brigade headquarters and stationed it in the largest civilian house, and the engineer platoon had just cleaned it up, and the soldiers emptied the room of the superfluous things, did a simple cleaning, and moved the radio into the house.

The soldiers could rest immediately, but Zhang Wei couldn't.

"Each squadron quickly set up a cordon, arrange a defense, and pay attention to the search troops dispatched!"

"If the searchers find that there is a situation after returning, report it to the squadron headquarters immediately!"

"The radio reported to the 65th Regiment the position of the brigade and strengthened the connection with friendly forces." Zhang Wei issued one order after another to the three signal soldiers around him, they had to convey the orders down to the squadron leaders, and each squadron sent search soldiers forward, these soldiers went with a reconnaissance mission, and all kinds of movements in front relied on them to reconnoitre, and they could not take it lightly.

Qiu Wei walked into the house, and his first squadron and brigade headquarters were stationed in the village.

"The defense of the village has been completed, and I have asked the brothers to dig improvised fortifications, and we are not afraid of accidents." Whenever they are stationed, they must build fortifications, which is the rule of teaching the brigade.

"Okay, well done." Zhang Wei responded, but he was still thinking about the movements of the Japanese army.

"Captain, don't worry anymore, once there is a situation, those search soldiers in front will come back to report, and those sent out are all old soldiers, and there will be no mistakes."

Qiu Wei and Zhang Wei have been together for the longest time, both of them are military officers, and their thinking styles are similar, what Zhang Wei is thinking, Qiu Wei, an old fellow, knows very well in his heart.

Zhang Wei said: "I'm a little worried after all, what happened today is too wrong, by the way, have the search soldiers of your squadron come back?" ”

After Qiu Wei said this, Zhang Wei looked forward more and more to the search soldiers coming back as soon as possible and bringing back the movement ahead.

Qiu Wei shook his head: "I have scattered more than ten miles, and I haven't come back yet."

The search soldiers have not returned, and Zhang Wei no longer asks questions, but only reminds a few squadron leaders again to pay close attention to the returning search soldiers.

Putting aside the matter of the search soldiers, Zhang Wei and Qiu Wei walked out of the temporary brigade headquarters, Zhang Wei found a haystack on the edge of the village, stood up, and observed the surroundings of the village.

The current stationing situation of the teaching brigade is stationed on both sides of the highway, sandwiching the highway in the middle, and the posture of garrisoning is also like a form of arming, similar to a line of defense, facing the direction of Nanning.

The front of the teaching brigade was the same as the place where they had marched before, it was muddy and unsheltered, and it was an open area where the Japanese could have come from there, and it would have been a good defensive position with its villages and fields.

The retreat can rely on the village to hold on, and the advance can be spread to both sides of the highway and attack each other with the Japanese army. Such a location is not easy to find, the teaching brigade set off from the side of Kunlun Pass, and walked for most of the day before encountering such a village, and the other villages and settlements were almost destroyed by the war.

Only this village, because of its large scale and sturdy houses, was able to survive the Japanese army's sweep.

Zhang Wei groaned: "It's good to fight in this place. ”

"Yes, after walking for so long, I haven't seen a village, either it has been razed to the ground or it is muddy, this is a rare village with complete architecture." Qiu Weidao.

The straw piles and fields on the edge of the village are also natural protective positions, although a lot of them have been burned because of the war, but there are still some remains, and the weeds and crops in the fields are still very high, so it is not a problem to hide some soldiers.

Combined, these conditions make this place an excellent battlefield.

"Qiu Wei, how many search soldiers did the first squadron release?" Zhang Wei finally brought the topic back to the search soldiers.

"Twelve, all of them are veterans." Zhang Wei is the commander, but after all, he can't let go of the abnormal situation and the unknown Japanese army.

The two discussed for a while, and suddenly a signal soldier came: "Report to the captain, there is a situation!" ”

"What's going on?"

"Sir, the second squadron leader brought people back, saying that the search soldiers had discovered the situation!"

Zhang Wei and Qiu Wei quickly ran back to the village, Mu Chao was in the brigade headquarters, and there were three soldiers beside him, panting and sitting on the ground, Zhang Wei didn't need to think about it to know that this was a search soldier, these three people were not lightly tired, panting for breath.

"What's going on?" Zhang Wei and Qiu Wei asked almost in unison.

"Captain, these three brothers ran the farthest and found the Japanese soldiers!" After Mu Chao finished speaking, he pulled up one of the three sergeants.

The sergeant didn't have time to tidy up his clothes, gasped and said: "Sir, we saw the Japanese more than ten miles away, there are hundreds of troops, as well as cars, mules and horses, they are rushing here, it seems that they are going to fight us, after a few of us found out, they hurried to the brigade and ran all the way, and the devil team estimated that it would take another hour to get here." ”

Zhang Wei asked, "How many Japanese troops are there?" ”

"There are three or four hundred people, and there are not many people on the road, but the drag is very long."

"How many cars and heavy equipment are there?" Qiu Wei asked.

The sergeant hesitated.

At this time, one of the three sergeants answered Qiu Wei's question.

"Sir, there are ten trucks!" Ten trucks, at least three or four hundred people, with mule and horse equipment. ”

Zhang Wei synthesized the information provided by the soldiers and roughly estimated the strength of the Japanese army, and these search soldiers saw three or four hundred people, and the actual strength must be more than this, a little larger, most likely a brigade-level force, and they have cars.

Zhang Wei dared to deduce that it was basically an infantry brigade that went to Kunlun Pass to reinforce and advance rapidly.

However, before arriving at Kunlun Pass, these Japanese troops will inevitably collide with the teaching brigade, and fierce battles are inevitable.
