"Don't worry! I, Song Xilian, am not someone like Tang Enbo. How can I refuse to save someone even if they die? Especially for my own subordinates." Song Xilian said very seriously.
Before Zhang Tianhai and others could speak, Song Xilian changed the topic and said, "By the way, Zhang Yulin, tell me honestly, where are you planning to rehearse tonight?"
Zhang Tianhai thought for a while and said: "Military seat, there is a small highland near Lanfeng County called Xiaorong Mountain. It is said to be a highland, but it is not actually high. It is just a very common hill, but this It’s a rare hill in the plains, and the rehearsal will be held around here.”
"Okay, then I'll just wait and see. I'm waiting for you, Zhang Yulin, to direct this drama." Song Xilian smiled with interest.
…
It's night, Xiaorong Mountain.
Compared to Lanfeng County, where the school is quiet, this place is very lively, as lively as a large construction site.
This started following an order from Army Commander Song Xilian.
"Hurry up, hurry up, brothers, work harder and try to complete the mission as soon as possible!" Engineer company commander Qi Dongwen said loudly. For him, it is true that he does not seek merit, but seeks no faults.
Are these normal times? This is the mission of the military commander to inspect!
If one of them fails to do a good job, the team leader will be removed from his position.
In addition to the people from the engineering company digging positions and trenches, people from the cavalry battalion were also urgently requisitioned.
There are two cavalry companies. The officers and soldiers of one company help dig trenches, while the officers and soldiers of the other company are mainly responsible for planting grass.
Yes, that’s right, they are grass-roots people.
No matter what happens in a battle, there will be both the enemy and ourselves, and these straw men are their imaginary enemies. The most important task is to calculate the casualties.
Two standardized trenches entrenched on Xiaorong Mountain are gradually taking shape thanks to the hard work of the officers and soldiers of the two companies of the first regiment directly under the third theater of war.
Two hours later.
The time is eleven o'clock in the night on April 30, the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China.
Two military off-road jeeps with the Blue Sky and White Sun badge drove out from the north gate of Lanfeng County and rushed directly to Xiaorong Mountain. Following closely behind them were more than a dozen military trucks loaded with guards with live ammunition. For a moment, it could be described as murderous and the atmosphere was filled with chills.
So many troops left the city, but Zhang Chenggong, the magistrate of Lanfeng County, was immediately alerted.
At this time, Zhang Chenggong had just fallen asleep when someone came to report: "It's not good, County Magistrate Zhang, the garrison troops in the city have left the city, but a dozen trucks have gone out."
"What is this Zhang Tianhai doing? Today, the Yueyang Tower Restaurant was closed down, and now there are so many garrison troops leaving the city... Is it possible that the Japs are about to attack now?" When he thought of this possibility, Zhang Chenggong asked He was horrified, fearing that his own crow's mouth had predicted this terrible result.
"Why panic? Why panic! If Commander Zhang's troops want to evacuate, they will definitely tell me. They can't just leave in such a hurry." Zhang Chenggong cursed the man who came to report the news with a guilty conscience. government officials.
…
This convoy was naturally escorting Song Xilian, Zhang Tianhai and others to Xiaorong Mountain.
The two military jeeps in the front were to transport Song Xilian, Zhang Tianhai, Zhou Fangjie and other officers, while the convoy of more than a dozen trucks in the back were naturally to transport the officers and soldiers of the special agent company and guard platoon.
The distance between Lanfeng County and Xiaorong Mountain is not very far. It takes about ten minutes to get there.
When he was still two miles away from Xiaorong Mountain, Zhang Tianhai asked the officers and soldiers of the special agent company to get out of the car and asked them to wait for the combat order.
Song Xilian was quite satisfied that Zhang Tianhai had done this very carefully. At least Zhang Tianhai did not have the idea of cheating to win his trust in the combat effectiveness of the first regiment directly under the third theater.
In other words... Zhang Tianhai is very confident in his troops.
…
Not long after, Song Xilian, Zhang Tianhai and others arrived at the Xiaorong Mountain position.
At this time, the Xiaorongshan position was close to being completed, and many straw men who had already been set up were already placed in the trenches.
These scarecrows will take the place of the Japanese army and accept the baptism of live ammunition in this actual combat exercise!
Song Xilian's military boots lightly stepped on the relatively dense grass on Xiaorong Mountain. His eyes were staring at the surroundings, but looking left and right, no matter how he looked, these positions were dug to a very standard level. Fortification.
"Military seat, this place was excavated by the engineering company, and it was all carried out according to standard fortification standards." Zhang Tianhai introduced.
"You have done a good job in this regard. This actual combat exercise is very interesting." Song Xilian did not hesitate to express his praise directly.
The observation post for the exercise was set up 300 meters away from Xiaorong Mountain. It was not too far, nor too close. With the telescope, everything going on in Xiaorong Mountain could be clearly seen.
In order to allow Commander Song to better see the battle above, Zhang Tianhai had previously ordered someone to build an observation post.
This observation post cannot be said to be large or small. It is only two meters high and can just accommodate two people standing on it.
Just when Song Xilian had just finished throwing away a cigarette butt, Qi Dongwen, commander of the engineer company, hurried over, stood at attention and saluted and reported: "Reporting to the military seat and regiment seat, the engineer company commander fortunately did not disgrace his order and completed it in time. Complete the fortification tasks assigned by the superiors!"
"You have done a good job. You can lead the troops and retreat now!" Zhang Tianhai ordered directly.
"Yes! Sir!!" Qi Dongwen responded loudly.
After Qi Dongwen left, Zhang Tianhai immediately said to the messengers around him: "Give me my order and order the special agent company to report to me immediately! Just take my car to report, and remember to report as soon as possible!"
"Yes! Group seat!!" the ordering soldier responded.
About fifteen minutes later, the truck transporting the officers and soldiers of the special agent company arrived.
Liu Houming trotted all the way to Zhang Tianhai, stood at attention, saluted and reported loudly: "Report to the regiment! The secret service company headquarters should have 252 people, but actually there are 252 people. Please give instructions to the regiment!"
As soon as he heard this number, Song Xilian felt something was wrong. He glared at Zhang Tianhai, let out a long sigh, and said: "I knew you were dishonest a long time ago, but I didn't expect you to be so dishonest. You The total number of our special agent companies is more than 350 people. When making a report on paper, he said that there are only more than 200 people... How many soldiers do you have now?! If you dare to deceive me again, I will immediately kill you. You engage in military law!!"
Song Xilian became angrier as he talked. He had never met a subordinate as cunning as Zhang Tianhai. He was fooled once, but he was fooled again and again.
"Reporting to the military seat... That humble position only concealed the strength of this special agent company... Isn't this because I'm afraid that you think we have too many soldiers and want to borrow our troops..." Zhang Tianhai could only bite the bullet and tell the truth. How could this be hidden?
"Okay, I will forgive you this time. Next time, do you think I dare to beat you?" Song Xilian glared at Zhang Tianhai fiercely and cursed, which officer would like to be fooled by his subordinates like this? Method?
"Yes! Military Seat!" Zhang Tianhai responded quickly, because he was afraid of being scolded further, so he tactfully changed the subject: "Military Seat! Let's start our military exercise now!"
"Well, let's get started!" Song Xilian nodded and said, not forgetting to glare at Zhang Tianhai again. If Zhang Tianhai hadn't been used, I'm afraid he would have learned Hu Jiaji's kicking technique. Oh, I have to kick Zhang Tianhai, a bird like a dog.
"Yes!" After Zhang Tianhai responded, he quickly turned around and said to Liu Houming next to him, pretending to be serious: "Liu Houming, now that the exercise has officially begun, I only have a rough map of Xiaorong Mountain here. The specific map is Whatever you do, it's up to you. The task I give you is that within an hour, you must take down Xiaorong Mountain! Do you understand?"
"Yes! Regiment!" Liu Houming responded loudly, then turned around and shouted loudly: "Special Agent Company!! The target is Xiaorong Mountain, let's go!!!"

PS: This is my second update last night. I originally thought I could endure it, but when I finished writing at 1:30 and reached 800 words, I couldn’t endure it anymore. I always felt not as good as when I was young. I can survive. Sorry.
