    The 643rd Regiment of the 72nd Army passed through Elephant Trunk Ridge from Tonghai and entered Jianshui County. They followed the southward road to a town called Qujiang. It was more than thirty kilometers away.  It only takes one day to get to Jianshui Ancient City.

    Zhang Yi and the First Battalion were still the vanguard of the 643rd Regiment, but this time the Second and Third Battalions also followed closely. The success of the First Battalion and the promotion of Battalion Commander Zhang Yi greatly stimulated  At this time, no one among the officers and soldiers of the two battalions wanted to fall behind and become the people left behind by the first battalion to watch the fun.

    Zhang Xian and his reconnaissance squad were the scouts of the first battalion, that is, the scouts, and the eyes of the first battalion. Of course, they were running in front of the first battalion at this time. When the first battalion arrived at Qujiang Town,  Zhang Xian has arrived at Moduchong, five kilometers southwest of Qujiang. This is a chokepoint north of Jianshui. The road from the north can only pass through the valley between these two mountains, but after passing there, the road becomes wider.  It is divided into two, one avenue leads directly to Jianshui Ancient City in the south; a trail diagonally cuts to the southwest and leads to Shiping County.  Shiping, located just to the west of Jianshui County, is also a very ancient county town.

    We crossed a hill and entered a forest. Although the road was at the bottom of the valley outside the forest and was flat and easy to walk, as an experienced scout, in this unfamiliar environment where the enemy was not clear,  , it is better not to reveal your whereabouts. If there is an enemy's secret sentry somewhere, then you may become the opponent's target.  Although the woods and hills are difficult to walk, they are safe.

    The forest was so quiet that it was like a deep sleep, not even a bird chirping could be heard. After walking for a while, Zhang Xian felt more and more that something was not right, and he stopped immediately.

    Behind Zhang Xian were Wang Peng, Xiong Sanwa, He Qiang, Wu Xiaoyang, and two soldiers, one named Li Qingshan and the other named Zhu Fugui. Both of them joined the army from western Hunan and were very young.  , all young men in their early twenties.  In order to maintain contact with the camp, He Qiang walked in the middle of the team carrying a wireless telegraph phone.

    "Squad leader, why don't you leave?" Wang Peng asked Zhang Xian very strangely.

    Zhang Xian listened attentively and did not immediately answer his question.

    "What's wrong?" Xiong Sanwa also walked up from behind and couldn't help asking.

    "Don't you think it's a little strange?" Zhang Xian asked them.

    The two people looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what Zhang Xian was referring to.

    Zhang Xiandao: "It's not night now, so why is there no sound of birdsong in such a large forest?"

    After Zhang Xian said this, everyone immediately realized that something was wrong. They all fell silent and pricked up their ears nervously.  There was no sound of birds in the woods, which meant that besides them, there must be other people hiding there, and there might be quite a few of them.

    Zhang Xian¡¯s ears were very sharp, and he finally heard a slight cough. It was clearly someone¡¯s presence!  The cough was too slight, but he was not the only one to hear it, even Wu Xiaoyang who was walking behind also heard it.

    "There is an ambush here!" Zhang Xian immediately and decisively judged, and at the same time, he ordered all his comrades in a low voice: "Everyone spread out and take cover!" As he said that, he rolled towards the grass on the side and quickly  Covering his figure.

    The others also reacted quickly, each looking for a hiding place. In less than a minute, the seven people disappeared without a trace. They were originally specially trained scouts.

    However, as time passed little by little, the woods were still quiet, just like when they came in, and there was no more human trace.

    "Brother, did we hear wrongly?" Xiong Sanwa lay next to Zhang Xian and asked quietly into his ear.

    Zhang Xian also hesitated a little at this time, but he was very sure that he had indeed heard a cough just now. That was proof from someone, but when he wanted to hear more, that sound  But it disappeared without a trace. Did you really hear it wrong?  Are you trying to scare yourself?

    At this time, a gunshot was suddenly heard, and then the gunfire became louder, but it was not at their place, but on the side beside them, facing the road below the mountain forest.  Through the vague gap in the forest, I could only see a fleeting spark from the muzzle of the gun in the woods. I heard bullets flying everywhere. A big tree next to Zhang Xian was hit at once.  There were seven or eight bullet holes.  Looking towards the place where the gunfire rang out, a group of soldiers who looked like the national army vaguely appeared on the road below the mountain forest. The number was not small, and it was obvious that they wereThe company rushed to Jianshui, only to find that most of the national troops here had already evacuated, and only one regiment that had broken off the rear in the north was evacuating. He immediately reported the situation to his superiors.  His superior asked him to immediately insert himself to the north of the regiment, that is, to the place where Mo Douchong is, to block the regiment's northward escape route.  There is no doubt that the superiors must have dispatched other troops from the east and south directions at night to prepare to encircle and annihilate this enemy force.

    Listening to Tang Yun's introduction, Zhang Xian frowned and asked with some confusion: "Old Tang, you only have the strength of a company and you don't bring heavy weapons. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to stop this regiment? This  But as a regiment, you are just a company!"

    Tang Yun was stunned, looked at Zhang Xian, smiled, and said, "What's there to be afraid of? If we charge as a company, we might not be able to defeat this group. They just let us intercept and use defensive ambush."  , this is our specialty. Besides, this is an order from above, I must obey it!"

    Zhang Xian nodded and did not ask any more questions.  Think about it, for the Chinese army, the current battle situation is like a repeat of the great defeat in 1944. The soldiers have already lost their morale, and even the officers have lost the courage to fight again.  The battle of Xu Beng has given the national army no chance to get up. Everyone knows that the country has changed and fighting again will be nothing more than a desperate struggle!  Under such circumstances, it is not easy for one person to stop a group and not win!

    "Where have the enemy's main forces gone?" Zhang Xian asked the comrade who arrived in Jianshui first.

    Tang Yun stared, turned over his head, and said: "You have stopped me from asking, I still want to know! I came from the south, and I didn't see their shadow along the way. I thought they would  Run south, to Vietnam!"

    "Haha, you have blocked their road, can they still go looking for death?" Zhang Xian also joked, not knowing why, he thought of Xu Haibo again, wondering if this Major General Xu was  He had already taken the first step and ran out of the encirclement.  However, think about it again, even if they escape from the encirclement, where can they go?

    "Don't worry!" Tang Yun looked at the soldiers who were clearing the battlefield on the road, and said, "Wait and ask the captured soldiers, and you will know what's going on!"

    "Yeah!" Zhang Xian nodded. In fact, he already knew the result in his heart.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
