Commander He Bingyan of the first column said that since the day he was a soldier carrying a bucket of paste, he had been thinking about when he would be able to put his troops out and work face to face with the Kuomintang, and he had been looking forward to this day for almost 20 years.

(When Commander He was a teenager, he served as a soldier in the Red Second Front Army led by Mr. He Longhe, and at that time, because he was too old, he was sent to the propaganda team to do the work of sticking slogans on the wall, so he said that he was carrying a sticky bucket, but after being a soldier for half a year, the Xiǎo Red Army who carried the sticky bucket became famous because he caught forty-seven prisoners with a few grenades picked up in a battle, in the words of Mr. He, you don't need to carry a sticky bucket, you can carry a gun)

Commander He's words were approved by the people who came to the meeting, and the room was luàn again, and Mr. Peng, who usually holds meetings very strictly, listened quietly to the arguments of these commanders at this time, and waved his hand to calm everyone down when he felt that it was almost over: Comrades, the whole country is going to go on a major counteroffensive, of course we can't watch the excitement, we must do it when we should do it, and I have to inform you of two things first.

First, during this period of time, we replenished the captured liberation troops captured after several battles, and recruited a large number of new soldiers from North China, and the size of the troops expanded rapidly, and now the total strength of our field army has reached 130,000.

Second, the Central Military Commission has also set up a seventh column for our Northwest Field Army, and from now on our field army will have six infantry columns. (The number of the Northwest Field Army owes five columns, so after the establishment of the seventh column, the number of the main combat column is six)

(On the eve of World War II in 1936, Spain's ** general election came to power and became the legitimate government of Spain at that time, Franco's counter-army supported by the German Nazis rebelled against Luàn, Franco's front-line commander-in-chief sent troops to Madrid with a four-way column, and a reporter asked him to predict which column would attack Madrid first, and he replied that it was the 'fifth column', which means that at that time in Madrid City, their jiān was all over the city, and these spies lurking in Madrid were the first to attack, and then the fifth column became jiān thin, undercover.) , informant and synonymous with **, so there is no fifth column in the People's Liberation Army led by ** people, but everything is special, and the strongest Northeast Field Army in the PLA has a fifth column, which is later the 42nd Army. ）

The atmosphere in the venue became more lively, Mr. Peng looked at these people at the meeting, and said in his usual and steady tone: "It's not enough to be happy, the enemy is not muddy, if we want to complete the tasks given by the central government, we still have to endure a lot of hardships and sweat a few times, our Northwest Field Army and the brother field army cannot be compared, not as powerful as them, but we also have to do something, at least to contain the Kuomintang troops in the northwest, so that they do not have manpower to support other battlefields, this is only the most basic, Isn't Hu Zongnan a key mobile defense, we have to find a way to get a big piece from his body, as for why we can't draw conclusions now, since ancient times, we have paid attention to 'knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and not being defeated in a hundred battles,' the enemy situation is not clear, and there is no way to draw conclusions, so our main task in the next step is to clear the Kuomintang's defense situation and find the enemy's weaknesses before we can startFind a way to clear the enemy's reality and reality, and then work out a complete battle plan. ”

At night, the moon was left with only a scythe-like hook, a few stars hanging in the sky shimmered faintly, and a Xiǎo army rushed out along a mountain cliff, and this Xiǎo army crept out of the Xiǎo ravine full of weeds and trees in two columns.

On the night of the end of September, the weather in the north was already very cool, count carefully, there are more than 80 people in the xiǎo army, judging from the steel helmet on the head and the weapon in the hand, this xiǎo army looks very much like an army of the Kuomintang, and then take a closer look, it is not an elephant, it is the ** that travels around in the northwest area, and it is still the kind that is very jīng dry, because everyone in this xiǎo unit is wearing an American-style soup mother submachine gun in front of it.

Not everyone can afford this kind of gun, even in the Kuomintang troops, ordinary soldiers are not qualified to carry this kind of gun, in ordinary combat units, only squad leaders have submachine guns, ordinary soldiers are only capable of firing a single shot.

There is only one possibility that so many people are submachine guns, and it is very likely that it is the direct unit of the guard of the senior commander in the **, and it must be the kind of unit that the commander trusts the most, so he can let the boss huā put the entire army on such equipment at a great price.

At the head of the line were two officers of the same age, one was twenty-five or sixteen years old, not tall but very strong, with two thick arms coming out of the cuffs, carrying two guys, in addition to the submachine gun in his hand, he also carried a twenty rings in a holster, and the other xiǎo a little, which means that he was just in his early twenties.

The two of them talked while walking, and said a little bit: "Battalion commander, you can't trust me?" It's not once or twice that we've done this kind of work, and it's not time for you to complete the task with confidence, bring the information back, and let you go out in person for everything. ”

Another older man said: "Second son, it's not that I can't believe you, it's that this mission is too important, the big war is about to break out, our intelligence may almost be a big one, and the losses suffered by the troops at that time are not half a star, in the words of our brigade commander, whether the intelligence is accurate is the premise and guarantee of whether a battle can be won." ”

The officer was silent for a moment and then said: "Even if what you say is reasonable, battalion commander, I see that you have not learned anything from the brigade commander, this is all a set of words, I don't know if you are in detail, maybe you think you are too big to ask." ”

The older officer replied with some annoyance: "Erzi, don't be unconvinced, our PLA troops are like this, whoever has the ability can learn from whom, and if you have more ability than me, I will learn from you, how about it?" There's something in you that I don't know about, and it's not so easy for me, a veteran, to admire you as a rookie. ”

xiǎo said a little again: "Battalion commander, I have been a soldier for a long time, and I have not fought less, even the brigade commander and political commissar have praised me, which means that I can still be a scout, don't keep calling me a recruit egg in the future, I also have more than eighty brothers under my command, and Daxiǎo is also an official, isn't it?" ”

Hahaha, the older officer laughed softly: "Erzi, you still want to pretend to be old in front of me?" Who am I? It's a veteran from the old Eighth Road, and I'll fight with the xiǎo devil with a bayonet, and you'll be returned. ”

When he said this, he was a little bit older and hurriedly stopped this person's words and said: "Okay, okay, battalion commander, don't say it, I have memorized all the words below you, why when you were a soldier, I was still a xiǎo no, I could only fart and collapse the pit, sprinkle niào and mud, and grind eggs when I crossed the threshold, I can hear these words, do you have anything else to say, let me listen to something fresh." ”

From the words of the two people, everyone knew very clearly that this xiǎo force was not the Central Army of the Kuomintang, but a xiǎo reconnaissance unit led by Zhang Jinsong, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion of the independent brigade, to go out to carry out the mission, and those who were familiar with Zhang Jinsong must also know that this xiǎo unit must be the most powerful reconnaissance platoon in his hands, and the platoon commander was Ning Erzi, the most powerful soldier under him.

The total strength of the expanded reconnaissance battalion exceeded 800 people, which was a sharp force under the brigade commander Li Yong, and each platoon was fully equipped with more than 80 personnel, which was the largest platoon-level combat unit in the Northwest Field Army according to its current scale.

A platoon of soldiers, walking quietly under the moon, occasionally a sentence or two of dialogue and the battalion commander Zhang Jinsong's command voice sounded in the team, although it is said that there are many times to go out alone to carry out tasks, but there are not a few times to go out with the battalion commander, the soldiers are more or less excited, scouts, what they want is a clever and unpanicked Xiǎo guy, these soldiers, including Ning Erzi, are all single-handedly picked out by Zhang Jinsong, of course, they all want to show themselves well in front of their battalion commander.

Three xiǎo hours passed, and according to the soldiers' footsteps, it was more than twenty kilometers, and Zhang Jinsong's low voice in front came: "Pay attention to stay vigilant, we are not far from the enemy's defense area, we all put our ears up, and report the situation as soon as we find it." ”

After walking for more than half a month, the soldiers who marched with their ears pricked up still didn't find anything, Zhang Jinsong and Ning Erzi, who led the team, were a little puzzled, it stands to reason that the enemy's defense area near the enemy will definitely run into the enemy's mobile post or something, but now that they have walked for several hours in a row, they haven't seen a single figure, what does the Kuomintang army mean? It can't even be that you can't even stand guard, right?

Zhang Jinsong and Ning Erzi didn't guess this correctly, the Kuomintang army did not place sentry posts, but the troops were too far apart, and their xiǎo reconnaissance team had not yet encountered it.

Ning Erzi lowered his voice and asked, "Battalion commander, it's been a few hours, and I haven't even seen a single máo person, and I can't find a prisoner if I want to, what should I do?" Do you want to keep going inside? ”
