Huangjiagou is located between Tiemenguan and Xifengkou. Although it is called a ditch, to be precise, it is a valley, and it is a large valley. The valley is trumpet-shaped, and the smallest part is only more than 20 meters wide. , and the widest part is nearly one thousand meters. To the south of Huangjiagou is the mountain range where the Great Wall is built, and to the north is another mountain range. The two mountain ranges are getting farther and farther from east to west, and they are more refined than monkeys. Zhou Qinghai did not place the ambush at the narrowest east end, but at a place called "Jiangjunkan" by the local people.
"Jiangjunkan" is said to be the place where Guo Ziyi, the lucky general of the Tang Dynasty, once defeated the Koreans. The reason why it got its name is the stone slope about half a meter high and about ten meters wide. This stone slope is one hundred meters long. On the left and right, it happens to lie in the middle of the valley. It is entangled with old and new grass on both sides. The depth is about half a meter. Zhou Qinghai is lurking in these weeds at the moment.
As usual, in Zhou Qinghai's army, the Xuebing Army assigned an officer who was similar to an instructor of the regular army. This man's name was Fang Hongming. He was only 19 years old. He was a student at Tsinghua University. He later joined the army and went through the Xuebing Army Military Academy for two and a half months. During the training camp, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant, and because he was a local, he was assigned to be Zhou Qinghai's deputy.
At first, because he was worried that this young junior was here to share his power, Zhou Qinghai set up defenses everywhere and adopted a high-profile strategy, not allowing him to participate in the daily management of the army.
Fang Hongming just pretended not to know and did not raise any objection. Under Zhou Qinghai's nose, he talked with the soldier and listened to the soldier's stories. Occasionally, he would organize one or two listening sessions to talk about some great heroes in history. Later, at the request of several soldiers, he began to organize calligraphy classes to provide cultural remediation for the soldiers. Since he never interfered in the construction and management of the army, Zhou Qinghai knew that his move was to win people's hearts, because he was very interested in himself. He was very respectful, but could not get angry, so he gathered more and more soldiers around him under his nose and established a so-called reading club.
Later, as Zhou Qinghai became more and more identified with the Xuebing Army, he paid less and less attention to his measures that seemed to have nothing to do with military construction. Not only that, he also complained in private, thinking that the Xuebing Army sent Although his political commissar was highly educated, he was a little too unprofessional. Of course, Zhou Qinghai did not keep this idea for long, because as he deliberately let Fang Hongming get in touch with military management, he was surprised to find that this young junior His prestige in his own army was so high. Whether it was some old bandit brothers or newly recruited young men, they were all obedient and respectful to this political commissar. Only then did he Suddenly I understood that everything I had done before had a purpose.
When it comes to fighting, Zhou Qinghai considers himself an expert, but in life and other things that have nothing to do with fighting, he is at a loss. In the past, he left these things to his brothers to freely develop. Although there was no trouble, his feelings were always there. It was too childish, but since he handed all these things over to Fang Hongming, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his army had the appearance of a regular army.
At that time, he had to admit: "Damn, reading is really good for emotions." For the first time in his life, he had awe of reading and literacy. So, as the top commander of the self-defense brigade in Tiemenguan and surrounding areas, he The last one joined the reading club and started reading and literacy with the soldiers.
Because he realized the benefits of reading and literacy, Zhou Qinghai was unwilling to leave based on his feelings as before when there was another military operation. Fang Hongming did not give any deliberate guidance, but Zhou Qinghai knew how to treat the wisdom of the masses correctly, and decided to ambush the location. Set at "Jiangjunkan", it is the result of collective discussion with officers above the squad leader level.
Only half an hour after entering the ambush site, a "message tree" fell down on a hillside 500 meters away. The "message tree" was naturally brought by Fang Hongming, and in front of this "message tree" , there are three "news trees" every one mile, which means that when Hattori Enjin's cavalry regiment was still five miles away, Zhou Qinghai and the others had already received the news.
week Troops." Fang Hongming nodded, tightened the Wei Qing assault rifle in his hand,
Zhou Qinghai shouted to both sides: "Brothers, get ready for battle, the Japanese are not far from here."
There was a chirping sound. The ones that made the quieter sounds were some "old bandits", while the ones that made the louder sounds were some new recruits. If you distinguish them carefully, you will find that the eyes of the old bandits all seem to be lit with torches. The eyes lit up, but the new recruits were a little uneasy and nervous,
Zhou Qinghai looked at the Wei Qing assault rifle in Fang Hongming's hand, with undisguised envy in his eyes, and lowered his voice and asked: "Xiao Fang, if we win the battle this time, do you think the commander will make an exception and give us a regular army establishment?" .”
Fang Hongming turned his head, met his gaze, and then followed his gaze to look at the gun in his hand. He smiled and said: "I dare not say about the establishment of the regular army, but a platoon of Wei Qing style should not be a problem. .”
"Okay." Zhou Qinghai shouted, then faced the surprised looks of the brothers, he scratched his head and said: "Look at what I do, I'm not a big girl, just keep an eye on the front and unscrew the cap of the grenade. Yes, the little devil will be here soon."
He had just finished speaking, and once again put his eyes close to the telescope, he exclaimed in a low voice: "Damn, it's a cavalry."
"Cavalry." Fang Hongming was surprised, then he laughed and whispered: "Hello cavalry, now the serial mines we laid can play a greater role."
"Hey, I'll go pull the rope myself." As he said that, Zhou Qinghai ran not far away and snatched a rope used to trigger landmines from an old bandit.
The sound of horse hoofbeats reached everyone's ears. A few minutes later, a dock appeared in everyone's sight. Zhou Qinghai made a gesture. Everyone held their weapons tightly and did not dare to make any more noise. , the surrounding noise suddenly disappeared, except for the sound of horse hooves, only the heavy breathing of some recruits was left.
