The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 582
PS: Thanks to the "Grandmaster" boss "Mu Zhi Qi Baa is good" for the thousand rewards again.

The two armies marched out one after another, and the second regiment of the first division of the second army was temporarily seconded as a guide to participate in this battle, leading the way.

Most of the first army recruits, so walk in the middle. The 47th Army is in the rear.

Those recruits were still in high spirits and high morale at the beginning.But the high morale and interest soon became dormant in the cold weather in the south.

The weather was getting more and more gloomy, and the cold wind blowing from the sea made the soldiers in thick cotton coats still feel the chill as if it had penetrated into the marrow of their bones. They all shrank their necks, holding their guns and hurried on the road in silence.

The soldiers from the north had just arrived and had just begun to appreciate the cold and damp winter in the south.

Bai Mu rode on the horse, holding the binoculars in his hand to observe the surrounding terrain from time to time.

From time to time, the voices of officers urging the soldiers to speed up came from behind.

"Report to the Army Commander, Commander Zhou Ze of the Second Regiment of the Second Army sent someone to report something." Suddenly, a guard came to report with a person.

"Report to Army Commander Bai, Liang Song, the captain of the reconnaissance squadron of the Second Regiment of the First Division of the Second Army, was ordered by our regiment commander to ask you for instructions." The visitor saluted and then said loudly.

"Liang Song? Are you the same Liang Song who captured the main defender of Fu'an Town single-handedly during a disguised investigation last time, captured more than 2000 enemies without bloodshed, and finally captured Zheng Zhilong's son Zheng Sen?" Bai Mu was very interested. asked.

"Hey, I didn't expect Commander Bai to know me as an unknown person. I'm ashamed." Liang Song was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the confidant general in front of His Highness in front of him would know his name, and he was quite complacent for a while.

"Don't be modest, you boy. The battle report handed over by your commander Yue is clearly written. Yes, he is a talent. If you are interested in joining our first army, I will give you a battalion commander to do it. The regimental commander is also fine. Consider it." Bai Mu stared at Liang Song and said.

"Ah? Commander? Commander Bai, I was just ordered to ask you for instructions, but I'm not ready to be poached by you. Let me think about this matter." Liang Song scratched the back of his head and said shyly .

But even though he said so on the lips, he was secretly happy in his heart.

"Success, you think about it. Tell me, what did your regiment commander send you to ask for instructions?" Bai Mu planned to go back to find Yue Pengju's dignitary. When the military order is issued, the boy will not agree even if he refuses.

"Our regiment leader said that it will be dark and there is a big river ten miles ahead. I would like to ask the army commander whether to continue marching or camp by the river?" Liang Song said solemnly.

"Map." Bai Mu thought for a while and called out.

The guard quickly sent the map, and Bai Mu lit it with a fire pocket and covered it with a raincoat to check it for a while, then said: "Tell Commander Zhou to set up camp by the river. Duan Peng, come!"

Bai Mu yelled to the back, and a major officer ran over after a while.

"Commander, Duan Peng, the captain of the reconnaissance brigade, has been ordered to come."

"Duan Peng, take your reconnaissance brigade to meet with Commander Zhou's men, and go out to reconnaissance ten miles before crossing the river. Make sure that the troops camp at night safely." Bai Mu ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes, Duan Peng understands!" The major saluted, then turned and went back to arrange troops.

Soon, more than 600 people from the reconnaissance brigade speeded up, crossed the main force and followed Liang Song.

Not long after, the first army reconnaissance brigade joined the second regiment of the first division of the second army.

The two chief officers are both majors. After they met and saluted, Duan Peng looked at Zhou Ze and said, "I heard about the achievements of Commander Zhou when I was in the capital. The army’s quick-reaction unit has a lot of capable people. This brother Liang Song, even our army commander is very optimistic about him, and he is going to poach a corner.”

Zhou Ze looked at Liang Song in surprise, then at Duan Peng, and said with a wry smile, "Commander Bai is digging the wall too fast, your first army has gathered elites, and you still have to dig out our second army." Not to mention others, but you, Brother Duan, are even more famous. He has repeatedly made military exploits in the suppression of bandits in Beizhili. I admire my brother. It seems that I have to go back and ask our army commander. Hurry up and recruit you to our Second Army."

Duan Peng who said these words also laughed, and the surrounding officers also laughed.

After a few words, the distance between the two chief officers and the two troops suddenly shortened a lot.

The two began to discuss going out to investigate and set up camp.After some discussion, it was decided that the second regiment would send Liang Song's reconnaissance squadron, and Duan Peng would also send a reconnaissance squadron to cross the river together for reconnaissance.

Others were in charge of selecting the places where the large troops could camp.

The reconnaissance squadron dispatched by the First Army Reconnaissance Brigade was the same one that laid an ambush twice in Chenjiazhuang and wiped out Cyclops and King Guo Yan when they suppressed bandits in Beizhili last time.

This is the squadron with the strongest combat effectiveness in the reconnaissance brigade.

The squadron leader is Lieutenant Zhong Haiyang.

With the second regiment familiar with the terrain, the two reconnaissance squadrons quickly selected a place with shallow water and crossed the river.

After crossing the river, the two squadron leaders got together and began to discuss a specific action plan.

"Old Zhong, look, there are hills on both sides of this road, with lush vegetation. Especially in this section, the terrain suddenly protrudes, and you can just overlook the road from a high position. If the enemy monitors or lays an ambush here, it will be extremely disadvantageous to us. .According to Commander Bai's instructions, we have to go forward to investigate ten miles, and this position is almost at the top."

Liang Song took out the map, covered it with a raincoat, pointed to a certain location on the map with a fire pocket and said to Zhong Haiyang in a deep voice.

After observing the map for a while, Zhong Haiyang said: "In this case, our two squadrons will investigate separately. Your people will investigate the hills in the east, and mine will investigate the hills in the west. Once you encounter a situation, you will rely on the signal flares. A yellow signal means a small group of enemies, a red signal means a large group of enemies, and two red signals call for help."

Liang Song nodded in agreement, and after the two talked about some details, they quickly conveyed the order to the troops.

Soon, the two troops entered the hilly areas on the east and west sides to start searching and reconnaissance.

At this time, the sky had already darkened, and it was already extremely dark in the dense forest.

It is difficult to walk in the dense forest during the day, let alone at night.

Fortunately, it is winter at this time, and many annoying insects, mosquitoes and ants are gone, so there is no need to worry too much about non-combat attrition.

But if you want to walk in the woods, you still have to light a torch. The troops try not to spread too far, and search forward slowly.

In the dense forest, the light of the torch can't actually spread very far.Only when you get close can you find the light of the torch.

Liang Song and Zhong Haiyang did not expect that the first battle of this battle would be fought by the two of them, and what happened was very unexpected.
