723, Is there a Japanese military headquarters there?
Colonel Zhao laughed heartily, "They wandered around in the mountains for a whole day, and they actually came back to where they were! Damn it, we just surrounded them! We almost let them run away!"
He pointed at the map with some pride and said: "Brother Zifeng, look at the situation on the battlefield!"
This was the first time in Chen Zifeng's life that he was called "Brother Zifeng" by an officer, which was really a bit uncomfortable.
He hurriedly said: "Sir, if you are too polite, just call me Zifeng. Please continue!"
Colonel Zhao said: "Now, the Japanese 106th Division is entrenched in this area with Wanjialing as the core!" He pointed at the map vigorously: "There are also several surrounding areas called Leimingguliu, Shibaoshan, and Nantian.
Pu, Beixi Street, Dunshangguo and other small mountain villages, with an area of only a dozen square kilometers, are very narrow! Now, the 30th Army Corps of our army and the divisions of the 32nd Army are on the line of Zenggai Mountain and Qilin Peak
, block the Japanese 27th Division who came for reinforcements!"
Chen Zifeng's eyes widened in surprise, "Sir, have we surrounded them?"
Colonel Zhao seemed to be very satisfied with this question and said with the same glare: "Of course! Can we still let him run away? Now, the 74th Army is coming from the south, the Fourth Army is coming from the east, and the Sixth Division and the
The 91st Division came from the west, and the 159th Division and the 160th Division of the 66th Army came from the north. They surrounded the enemy's 106th Division from four directions! He can't run away!"
The 74th Army is the most famous iron army in the national army, as famous as Chief Chen Cheng's 18th Army.
Chen Zifeng discussed with Colonel Zhao that he wanted to visit the frontline positions.
Colonel Zhao smiled at him and said: "I suggest you go to Baishui Street first. To the west of Baishui Street is Qilin Peak, and the Japanese 27th Division is attacking Qilin Peak! This morning's battle report said,
The attack is fierce! The 123rd Regiment of the 106th Division is attacking Baishui Street! Once Baishui Street and Qilin Peak are captured, the 106th Division can escape from there! Those defending Qilin Peak,
It’s the 141st Division and the 142nd Division of the 32nd Army! The ones defending Baishui Street are the 6th Reserve Division and the 91st Division!”

Chen Zifeng's pickup truck left Baicha Town and drove north along the country dirt road.
Along the way, there were moving armies everywhere, or trucks transporting ammunition, as well as many oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages transporting grain and other supplies.
The mountain forest on the roadside was filled with resting troops. Some migrant workers carried the wounded and walked into the recesses of the mountain where red cross flags were flying. It was obviously a field hospital treating the wounded.
In the distance, gunshots and explosions came from Dajin Mountain and Xiaojin Mountain.
Chen Zifeng looked at Xiao Ancheng beside him and whispered: "This is the battlefield!"
There is still a long way to go from Whitewater Street, but the sound of gunfire and explosions is already deafening!
Li Xuehai, who has never been on a battlefield, is ready to jump out of the car and rush forward at any time!
Chen Zifeng parked the truck in a recess in the mountain. He looked at the excited Li Xuehai, smiled, and asked Qiang Hu and Li San to guard him. He also left a machine gun for them.
He said: "If there is any accident, use machine guns to shoot it out! Then go to Baicha Town to find us!"
They brought their weapons and Xiao Ancheng carried the radio on his back and walked up the mountain.
29-1
When they reached the mountain, they saw how fierce the battlefield ahead was! The Japanese army was attacking, and machine guns and mortars were firing fiercely. The Chinese army tried their best to resist on the mountain! Their position was on the flanks of both sides.
They all saw that the situation of the national army was quite dangerous! The Japanese army rushed up several times. Although they were driven down, the Japanese army behind them were still attacking crazily!
Chen Zifeng said: "An thief, send a report to the corps headquarters, saying that the situation on Baishui Street is dangerous! Ask him if there are artillery nearby, they need support here!"
Xiao Ancheng quickly sent the telegram, but there was no reply at all. They all looked at the situation ahead anxiously!
Chen Zifeng held up his telescope and looked around, hoping to discover something new.
The Corps Headquarters finally called back: "We have sent a message to Shang Zhen to hold on! The 30th Army has an artillery battalion!"
Sure enough, there was a sound of artillery on the other side of the mountain, and some shells fell on the attacking Japanese troops. But the artillery fire was not strong enough, and the Japanese army still attacked frantically!
Li Xuehai said: "Captain, we should do something, we can't always watch like this!"
Yang Sanqiang said: "Brother, just the four of us, filling in all of them will not make any difference!"
At this time, Chen Zifeng held up his binoculars and stared motionlessly at a certain point behind the Japanese army.
He said: "An, Thief, come and see if that's the Japanese military headquarters there!"
Xiao Ancheng took the telescope, looked over there for a long time, and said, "Maybe it is! Let's sneak over and rush, maybe we can disrupt the Japanese attack!"

The mountains are densely forested with branches and branches, almost blocking out the sky and the sun.
Chen Zifeng and other four people, holding guns, slowly walked through the dense forest and moved forward.
They climbed over rocks and ravines, ducked through tree branches, and slowly climbed up a small hill.
They looked forward and saw that there seemed to be a simple tent set up with raincloth in the dense forest, but there were many Japanese soldiers around. The faint voices of Japanese soldiers could be heard from there.
The distance was still a bit far. Chen Zifeng made a gesture. They lay down in the grass and crawled forward slowly.
They opened their eyes wide and carefully observed their surroundings.
Chen Zifeng visually judged that they were still fifty meters away from the simple tent. He felt that this distance was enough! He stretched out his hand forward with force, clenched his fist, and pointed behind him. It meant to punch hard and immediately move toward the car.
Run in the direction!
Several people around him nodded to him. They slowly dispersed.
Chen Zifeng suddenly picked up his gun and fired violently at the tent!
The others were not polite, not only shooting with rifles, but also throwing rifles over there continuously!
Everyone turned around and ran away, not caring about the overgrown branches sweeping past their faces.
But the Japanese army was also very experienced. After a period of confusion, they still discovered the traces of the attackers. They roared and chased Chen Zifeng and others.
Yang Sanqiang shouted: "Zifeng, please leave quickly! I'll support you!"
Chen Zifeng shouted to him: "Just give him a thumbs up and leave! Don't delay!"
Yang Sanqiang's shot continued from behind. Chen Zifeng and others ran forward desperately.
Li Xuehai was so excited that he burst out laughing while running.
He loudly said: "Zifeng, I have fought in a war too! I killed at least two Japanese!"
Chen Zifeng shouted to him: "Stop talking! Leave quickly!"
They quickly rushed to the truck. Chen Zifeng asked others to get in the car quickly, while he stood in the bushes and listened to the gunshots over there. Finally, Yang Sanqiang ran out of the bushes. He waved to him vigorously.
However, behind Yang Sanqiang, some Japanese soldiers were chasing him.
Chen Zifeng just shot in that direction, turned around and ran away.
He rushed to the truck, climbed into the truck and shouted: "Go! Go!"
The truck roared and rushed forward along the dirt road.
The Japanese soldiers in the forest shot at the truck and chased it forward.
The people in the car crouched behind the car and kept shooting at the chasing Japanese soldiers.
The truck rushed forward, finally leaving the pursuing Japanese soldiers far behind.
That Li Xuehai squatted on the floor, laughing endlessly again. Under his influence, even Xiao Ancheng started laughing.
Chen Zifeng leaned against the cab window and shouted: "Go south! Let's go back to Baicha Town!"
29-3
Baicha Town, the headquarters of the First Corps of the National Army.
This place is still the same as it was when Chen Zifeng and others first arrived. The headquarters is in chaos. The officers stand on the map and argue with each other, shouting loudly to explain the situation of each position.
The tall Commander Xue looked at them one by one, looking at the map carefully from time to time.
Colonel Zhao stared at Chen Zifeng with his mouth crooked, a weird smile on his face, "Are you worried about Baishui Street?"
Chen Zifeng said seriously: "Yes! I was really nervous when I saw the situation there. The Japanese army was attacking fiercely!"
Colonel Zhao laughed weirdly and looked very proud, "Let me tell you, Brother Zifeng, the 27th Japanese Division that attacked Qilin Peak has fucking withdrew! Did you imagine it? They withdrew!"
Chen Zifeng opened his mouth wide and looked at him in disbelief. Xiao Ancheng also moved over and looked at him strangely.
Colonel Zhao said: "No one could have imagined! A few days ago, that was where the fighting was the most intense! It was also the place where Commander Xue was most worried! As soon as Baishui Street was lost, Commander Xue's entire plan came to nothing!"
Chen Zifeng said: "Why did the 27th Division withdraw?"
Colonel Zhao stared at him and said: "No one knows! Unless you ask the people of the 27th Division! Let me ask you, did you do something in Baishui Street?"
Chen Zifeng looked at Xiao Ancheng and said, "We just got there and saw a tent in the woods. We guessed that it might be the Japanese army's headquarters! We went over and beat him!"
Colonel Zhao laughed loudly and punched him in the chest. As if that was not enough, he punched him again, "Brother Zifeng, I want to congratulate you and I want to take credit for you! Damn it, the Japanese army
The captain of the 2nd and 3rd Regiment was beaten to death by you! Do you know that the Japanese attack on Baishui Street has also fucking stopped!"
Chen Zifeng also grinned. He looked back at Xiao Ancheng and simply didn't know what to say.
Colonel Zhao said: "It's getting late, let's eat here! After dinner, find a place to sleep! Where else do you want to go? Let's talk about it after dawn tomorrow! How about it!"
Chen Zifeng thought for a while and then asked: "Sir, tell me which place is the most... the most exciting right now!"
Colonel Zhao stared at him and pointed north with his hand, "Zhang Gushan is exactly where the 74th Army is defending!"

The canteen of Commander Xue's First Corps Headquarters is actually the open space in front of two thatched cottages.
Many officers and soldiers brought food in big barrels and ate against the wall or squatting on the ground.
