The platoon commanders returned to their platoons and organized troops to help the four platoons of Ning Jinshan put things down the cliff, while the reconnaissance platoon continued to be on guard.

At this time, the battle in Panlong Town became more and more intense, the explosion of explosives continued, the explosion of grenades was like fried beans, and the shouts of people and horses on both sides were as tight as a burst, and the Northwest Field Army's attack on Panlong Town had reached the most critical time.

After another hour or so, the materials on the cliff were basically put down, except for the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon who were still on guard above, the soldiers of the other platoons had already descended to the bottom of the cliff along the rope, and the cave where the spies lived was more than 300 meters away from the cliff, and the soldiers were all trotting back and forth carrying weapons, ammunition and various materials, and everyone including Li Yong and Wang Chengde was sweating profusely, but no one felt tired, because they were too excited.

Li Yong suddenly remembered something after carrying it twice, our army's hard attack on Panlong will definitely cause large casualties, the battle of Panlong Town carried out by our army in history is indeed very casualties, especially the main peak of Panlong Town, Jiyumao, which is the commanding height of the entire Panlong Town, has built a powerful field fortification, and the troops who attack Jiyumao have paid a great price.

Li Yong thought that since I was here, I should do my part, and immediately found the instructor Wang Chengde and said: "Lao Wang, our main force will inevitably have a lot of casualties if it attacks hard from the front, if a force goes up from here, it can play an unexpected role, as long as it can go up and two battalions to fight forward from the back, it will cause huge psychological pressure on the enemy, maybe the battle will end early, and the casualties of our main force can also be greatly reduced." ”

Wang Chengde said that this is a good thing, what do you say? Li Yong: "I want Li Jiangguo to take a few soldiers to find the main force to contact, he used to be in our regimental guard company, there are many chiefs who know him, he is the most suitable to go, if others go to the chief, they may not believe it, and besides, it is not certain whether they can see the chief if they send others." ”

Wang Chengde said that he would do it, and immediately asked the soldiers to find Li Jiangguo, and after explaining the task, Li Yong said to Li Jiangguo: "Be careful not to be accidentally injured by our army, if you meet the regiment commander and ask us how many people there are now, you can tell the truth, but we must not say what we have captured, understand?" Li Jiangguo smiled and said: "I know, company commander, don't worry, I am a veteran soldier who has fought for several years, it is not so easy to hurt me, as for our capture, if you and the instructor don't speak, even my father and I won't sue sù." ”

After Li Jiangguo left, Li Yong and Wang Chengde commanded the soldiers to move all the weapons and equipment to the big cave, Zhang Jinsong's reconnaissance platoon put the secret post in the hole, and then used branches to block the entrance of the cave, and after sealing the hole with branches, the soldiers all sat on the ground and did not move, the excitement after the task was completed, and Li Yong also felt uncomfortable without rest for nearly 40 hours, only the second platoon of long horses all shouted around the weapons and ammunition: "I got rich, this time I really got rich." Wang Chengde told everyone not to go to bed immediately, and asked the cooking team to bring the prepared hay over and spread it under the body.

It turned out that the soldiers of the cooking class saw that other comrades were busy, but they had nothing to do, so they went outside under the command of Sun Quanhou to get a lot of hay, and when the comrades came back, they cushioned under their bodies, and when they rested, they saved themselves from catching a cold, and they made a bundle of hay and laid it down, and then lay down on it, Li Yong felt that it was a comfortable, and he was not comfortable sleeping in a hotel before, and he looked at the weapons and equipment full of holes and thought: It seems that Lao Tzu is not busy in vain, and he has finally done one thing.

Thinking about it, I feel that there is still one problem that has not been solved, how can I get this hole full of things back? Thinking of this, he called Wang Laohu and Zhang Jinsong over, and said to Zhang Jinsong first: "You and the tiger can't rest yet, when Jiang Guo brings the main force up, your reconnaissance platoon is responsible for answering on the cliff, but you can't participate in the battle, our soldiers haven't fought yet, and you will suffer if you participate in a big battle, and you will take your platoon down after the main force goes up." ”

Zhang Jinsong said yes and went out, Li Yong said to the fifth platoon commander Wang Laohu: "Tiger, we have to find a way to get things away, we can't keep them here, the main force will be withdrawn soon after the battle, the enemy's reinforcements are rushing back, we have to get the things back before the enemy's reinforcements come back, you immediately take you out to the nearby villager's house to find a carriage, try to find as many as possible, and the fellow said okay, we have no money, but the carriage can't be used in vain, each carriage gives a pocket of millet, and the car is hidden after it is found, When the battle is over, we must get the car back, or we won't be able to take it all ourselves, and when the enemy's reinforcements arrive, we'll be in vain. ”

Why let the fifth platoon go out to find the carriage Li Yong is considered, first of all, the fifth platoon commander Wang Laohu is reassuring, and then the fifth platoon did not participate in the digging of the hole, and the body is a little better than the soldiers of other platoons. Wang Laohu also knew the severity of the problem, and immediately said: "Guarantee to complete the task." After finishing speaking, he and the deputy platoon commander woke up the soldiers of the fifth platoon one by one, told the soldiers that they had a task and set off immediately, and then walked along the path at the entrance of the cave to the back mountain.

Besides, Li Jiangguo took two soldiers around the back of the main attack force, reported his number to the guard unit, and asked to see the chief to report an important situation, and when Li Jiangguo was taken to the front-line headquarters by the security personnel of the unit, most of the chiefs inside actually knew each other, and it turned out that the place he was looking for was his own brigade headquarters, and the brigade commander Chen Xing was discussing problems with several leaders.

Brigade Commander Chen saw Li Jiangguo walking in and asked strangely, "Heh, isn't this Li Jiangguo of the Second Regiment?" Why are you not staying in your regiment and running here? Li Jiangguo hurriedly said: "Brigade commander, I am no longer in the guard company of our regimental headquarters, our regiment has newly formed a special service company, I have been transferred to the special service company, our company climbed over the cliff in the back mountain of Panlong Town during training, and now there are still people guarding the cliff in our company, and the ropes are ready-made." ”

After listening to Li Jiangguo's report, Brigade Commander Chen shouted loudly: "Great, I'm worried that the attack speed of the troops in front is too slow, this Li Kungang is not easy to deal with, he is a hard stubble with real skills." Li Jiangguo followed suit, and our company commander said the same thing.

Brigade Commander Chen asked curiously, "Your company commander also knows about this Li Kungang?" Li Jiangguo said Li Yong's evaluation of Li Kungang, and Brigade Commander Chen said in surprise after hearing it: "Heh, you company commander is not simple, you know a lot of things, you were transferred from that unit?" ”

When Li Jiangguo heard the brigade commander ask him this, he couldn't help but laugh: "Our company commander was not transferred from other units, he ran out of the Kuomintang troops, and when he ran halfway down the road, he happened to bump into me, and he was captured by me."

After hearing this, Brigade Commander Chen paused for a moment: "What is this Zhao Jin doing?" A Kuomintang deserter who had just joined the army for a few days became a company commander? Li Jiangguo immediately said: "Brigade commander, at first I had the same idea as you, but then I figured it out, our regiment commander's decision was correct, our company commander is not an ordinary person, there are too many things in his stomach, just a few days after arriving in the army, he guessed our action intentions, even our main force this time to fight Panlong Town, he also guessed it first, otherwise we wouldn't even be able to go to the back mountains for training." ”

After listening to Li Jiangguo's words, Brigade Commander Chen became even more strange to Li Yong, but now is not the time to study this issue, and then asked Li Jiangguo if there are few people in the back mountain? Li Jiangguo said: "Our company commander said that two battalions are sufficient, and no matter how many battalions are used, they will not be able to be used. ”

Brigade Commander Chen said okay, you immediately go to the brigade reserve and bring two battalions over, remember to fire two red signal flares when the attack is launched, and I will let the frontal troops cooperate with you. After Li Jiangguo saluted, he immediately went to the reserves, and the soldiers of the two battalions followed behind Li Jiangguo, bypassed the back mountain of Panlong Town, and when they arrived at the bottom of the cliff, Li Jiangguo saw the company commander Li Yong and the instructor Wang Chengde waiting for them, and said to the battalion commander who led the team: "This is our company commander and instructor." He also said to Li Yong and Wang Chengde: "This is Battalion Commander Liu of our brigade reserve." ”

Li Yong and Wang Chengde hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Battalion Commander Liu shook their hands and said, "Please comrades, give me a briefing on the situation, and you don't have to worry about the rest." Li Yong introduced some of the information he knew to Battalion Commander Liu, and finally built yì: If you go up from here to attack the enemy's defense of Jiyumao, it will be difficult to fight, because it is the commanding heights of Panlong Town, and it is the highest place in Panlong Town, and the defending enemy is a reinforced battalion, and the strength of our army's attack is not superior, but the enemy's command is not in Jiyumao, Li Kungang's brigade headquarters is in a few courtyards not far from the back mountain, and it is one of his guard companies that is responsible for defending, if our two battalions go up to eliminate his guard company, It would be easy to capture Li Kungang alive, and we could force him to order the recalcitrant troops to surrender.

After listening to what Li Yong said, Battalion Commander Liu said loudly: "Company Commander Li, it's great, just do what you say and set off." After speaking, he took the soldiers to climb the cliff, the soldiers of the two battalions were enough to have more than 700 people, and it took more than an hour to climb all of them, and ten minutes later, two red signal flares rose from the cliff, and then there was a dense sound of gunfire and grenade explosions, Li Yong asked Zhang Jinsong to take the soldiers of their platoon down to rest, and the matter of fighting was left alone.
