Signing in the Republic of China: starting from a foot patrol

Chapter 270 Night Sneak Attack

With the location of the Dongjiang Army exposed, late at night, under the cover of night, the 162nd Brigade of the [-]th Division quickly approached Xiaozhu Mountain and built fortifications near several roads going down the mountain.

Guo Lang, commander of the 162nd brigade, and a group of officers gathered in the temporary headquarters, with a map of Huaishui County on the table in front of them.

Under the dim kerosene light, Guo Lang said to the crowd: "Although the terrain of Xiaozhu Mountain is not too steep, the Dongjiang Army can still defend against the mountain by virtue of their superior numbers."

"So, we attack the mountain with a large force. This is the worst way. Even if we can win in the end, there will be unnecessary casualties."

"Therefore, I have selected a group of officers and veterans from the Yimeng and Jiangling mountainous areas from the 162nd brigade, and under the leadership of local guides, formed a special agent brigade to infiltrate into the mountains."

"I equipped this army with automatic weapons such as jacquard machines and Mauser pistols, and used firepower to make up for the lack of numbers."

"At that time, this army will be like a monkey grandson who got into the belly of Princess Iron Fan, making a big fuss in Xiaozhushan."

"The Dongjiang army will definitely be in chaos, so they will naturally choose to go down the mountain to evacuate. At this time, we only need to guard the intersection of the downhill, and we can wait for the rabbit and wipe out the Dongjiang army!"

"So, you all have to keep your eyes open for me. Once the Dongjiang army goes down the mountain, no one can let go!"

"do you understand?"

After many battles, Guo Lang already possessed the aura of a warrior, and the surrounding officers immediately replied in unison: "Understood!"

"it is good!"

Guo Lang nodded and glanced at his watch: "The Secret Service Brigade will enter the mountain at two o'clock in the morning. You should enter the position immediately. You must repair the fortifications before 01:30 in the morning."

After receiving the order, the officers immediately turned around and left the headquarters, and walked quickly towards their positions.

Guo Lang also walked out of the command post and came to an open space. At this time, more than 300 officers and soldiers with vigorous and calm expressions had gathered in this open space.

Different from other soldiers, these officers and soldiers all hold a jacquard mechanism in their hands and a Mauser pistol with 20 rounds of reloading hanging from their waists.

They were the spy brigade who took the lead in entering the mountain to fight this time. After seeing Guo Lang approaching, everyone immediately stood in line.

Guo Lang looked at everyone and showed a satisfied expression: "Brothers, whether we can win this battle tonight depends entirely on your performance."

"When the battle is over, I will definitely give credit to everyone!"

An officer laughed and said: "Don't worry, Lu Zuo, everyone knows how Master Lin treats his brothers."

"Go into the mountains to fight this time, just look at it, if we don't crush the eggs of the Dongjiang Army, we will be considered wary!"

"Hahaha, okay, this sounds like a boost."

"Then I'll wait for everyone's good news!" Guo Lang showed a satisfied smile.

As time passed, the surroundings became quieter, and the fortifications were completed around one o'clock in advance, and the troops had already moved into the fortifications, waiting for the start of the battle at any time.

Guo Lang looked at his watch, and when the pointer pointed to two o'clock, he nodded to the leading officer of the secret service brigade.

The officer understood, immediately waved his hand, and deliberately lowered his voice: "Let's go!"

Immediately, more than 300 elite members of the spy brigade ran lightly and quickly disappeared into the night.

At the same time, on Xiaozhu Mountain, although He Shuxiao had repeatedly ordered the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army not to sleep, they had to keep their eyes wide open at all times, waiting for He Shuzhong's response at any time, and then captured Huaishui County in one fell swoop.

But after all, after many days of rapid march, the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army were already exhausted, especially in the middle of the night and early morning, people's spirits had reached their limit.

Except for a small number of sentries who were still smoking to resist, of course, He Shuxiao also asked the sentries not to wait to smoke, so as not to reveal their whereabouts by the fire.

But these sentinels felt that if they didn't smoke a cigarette to refresh themselves, they might fall asleep too.

The remaining soldiers of the Dongjiang Army basically fell asleep, and each of them slept soundly.

At this moment, in the command post of the Dongjiang Army, He Shuxiao is quite energetic. He is not tired, mainly because he is so excited that he can't sleep when he thinks of the scene where he is about to take down Huaishui County and then drive southward.

So, he stood in front of the map, with the help of the firelight of the kerosene lamp, while looking at the map, he deduced possible situations in his brain.

"At this time, the fake soldiers I sent to the junction of Jiangling should have arrived at their destination. Presumably they have pretended to be bandits to attract Jiangbei Army to transfer."

"If the secrecy work in Huaishui County is done well, Lin Hongfei will get the news at the earliest, and it will be four days later."

"After such a long time, he is a bastard, and he can climb to Jiangbei even if he crawls."

"At that time, Jiangdu County will be taken directly, Lin Hongfei will be captured alive, and the Jiangbei navy will be forced to surrender. The Jiangbei army will have no leader, and the whole Jiangbei will naturally be at your fingertips!"

The more He Shuxiao thought about it, the more excited he became, and faintly, a bright road was unfolding in front of him.

One day, his father He Taikang will grow old, and he will be able to ascend to the position of the Lingnan Warlord!

He Shuxiao looked down at his watch, at this moment he found that the time was almost three o'clock in the morning, which made him frown uncontrollably:

"What's going on? Why hasn't He Shuzhong sent back the news? Did he control the local garrison?"

"This He Shuzhong, I think he doesn't want to do it anymore!"

"Either, it's just that the ability is too poor to handle such things well!"

"No wonder my father has not promoted him for so many years, and left him in the county magistrate's position for so long."

"If I control Jiangbei, he won't even think about being a county magistrate, let alone being a township covenant!"

Thinking of this, He Shuxiao felt a little uneasy again: "This kid is so incompetent, if he doesn't handle things well, he will leak the news..."

"hiss!"

He Shuxiao couldn't help but gasp, if that were the case, his plan to attack Jiangbei would come to naught!

No, it seems that I have to send someone to the county to check and find out what's going on with He Shuzhong!

Just as He Shuxiao was about to call people in and send them to Huaishui County to investigate the situation, suddenly, there was a burst of intense gunfire, followed by the explosion of several grenades!

"Da da da···"

"Boom!"

In this quiet late night, these movements are especially clear!

In an instant, the hairs all over He Shuxiao's body stood on end, and a gust of cold air rushed from the soles of his feet directly along the back of the spine to the top of the sky, and his whole body was shocked!

"what's the situation!"

"What happened?"

"Adjutant Sun!"

He Shuxiao immediately yelled loudly.
