The ancients described the Hangu ancient road. "The carriages do not separate tracks, and the horses do not combine saddles." This is a natural ambush battlefield. There is a cliff dozens of meters high on both sides. In the middle is a winding path of more than ten meters wide and two or three meters narrow. It stretches for thirty miles. People walk in between. It is like entering Hanzhong. The cliffs on both sides of the Guan Road rise sharply, with peaks and rocks standing in a dangerous terrain. Therefore, it is called Hangu.

As soon as Gao Quan arrived at the Hangu Ancient Road, he was shocked. There was such a dangerous place in the world. No wonder Qiang Qin could defeat the world's army with this pass.

"Cao Bao. I will give you the engineering battalion of the New 501st Division. You can take people forward 300 meters from here to start setting up ambush. Build more mines and bombs within two hundred meters ahead. Dig more traps and pits. Build me a few barrels of gasoline in it. The time limit is one day. If you don't have enough people, you will talk. I will send you as much as you want. If you don't have enough explosives, I will transfer the artillery regiment's shells to you. But the ambush must be arranged well. Time cannot be delayed."

"No, no, no, no," Cao Bao shook his hand repeatedly. "Doesn't need shells in the minefield?" Use the shells of Commander Fan for local mines. Be careful that the artillery commander came to him to play with his life. Besides, the name of the shell sounds scary. But it is not that easy to explode. That thing is not as useful as a grenade. "Don't worry, military officer. As long as you give me more boxes of explosives, I will work overtime overnight. I guarantee that I will finish my work tomorrow morning."

It is almost four o'clock in the afternoon now. Cao Bao is preparing to dig a hole overnight. He will be on a roundabout way tonight.

"Okay. I'll give you all the explosives in the military ammunition depot. This mine trap array must be guaranteed to work." When Cao Bao agreed, Gao Quan was immediately happy. This is the thing. The superior arranged the work. His subordinates could do the work that they should do. The tactics arranged by the superior could be fulfilled. Otherwise, everything would be empty talk.

After the ambush in the ancient road is laid out, it will be arranged on the cliffs on both sides. This kind of terrain is not to place ambush on both sides, which will waste the name Hangu Pass.

"Old Jin is on the left, and three cannons are on the right. You two each bring a group to ambush on this cliff. The Japanese are here. Follow my order to shoot down. After you go to the top, see if there are any flammable things like dry grass, dry branches, etc. If there is any, collect more. Then light them and throw them down. Let the Japanese also taste the fire."

"Yes." This job is about appetite. The two regiment commanders led the soldiers away with a smile. It seemed that they were not taking combat missions, but some generous rewards.

"Report. The call from the Fifth General of the Forty Army, Ma and Fa."

Gao Quan led his troops to walk slowly along the Hangu Ancient Road. Along the way, he saw the good terrain and assigned tasks to the corresponding troops. It was estimated that when he was about halfway through, the correspondent soldiers received a telegram from the Forty Army. Ma Fawu called to greet him.

"I advise my brother: In the past, I worked under Pang Gong's command. He advised me to be the leader of the army. After a few years of separation, I advised me to be promoted to the commander of the army. I am very happy. Now the Japanese invaders invaded my Lingbao. My brother led the soldiers to fight to the death. I heard that my brother personally led 500 troops to help me. I hope that my brothers would meet soon and wipe out the Japanese pirates. Ma Fawu."

It was probably because Ma Fawu heard about the Five Hundred Army helping the Thirty-Eighth Army at the official intersection. He knew that the Five Hundred Army had come to Lingbao. He sent this telegram. He wanted Gao Quan to help him like Zhang Yaoming.

Both of them are from Pang Bingxun's command. They have the same meaning as a fellow disciple. Although Old Pang is not good enough and has surrendered to Japan now, the imprints of the fellow disciples on them cannot be erased by just smearing them. Compared to Zhang Yaoming, it is obvious that Ma Fawu feels that he and Gao Quan have a closer relationship. At this moment, General Ma suddenly made the words clear. It is really hard to say what Gao Quan refused.

"Tele to Ma Fawu: Five hundred troops marched all the way. The soldiers were very tired. At this time, they went to fight. More defeats were more than defeated. Wait for our army to rest for a while and send troops immediately." Although it was difficult to refuse, Gao Quan could not lead the Five hundred troops to Lingbao City now. It was not that he thought that the Five hundred troops and the Forty Army could not defeat the Japanese. Gao Quan was afraid that the Japanese would run away.

It was finally easy to find a great ambush battlefield like Hangu Pass. Gao Quan never wanted to let the 114th Division of the Japanese go back intact. He would not get rid of the 114th Division. Gao Quan would not have eaten well. Not to mention Ma Fa5. Now even if Hu Zongnan came to the telegram in person, Commander Gao would never give up on this ambush battle.

The Hangu Ancient Road, which has been around for two thousand years, has lit up the lights all night tonight again. A large group of men in military uniforms shouted horns and worked sweatily.

"There is one here." A man who was bent down to dig suddenly shouted. The surrounding friends immediately surrounded him. "Good. This person was injured even more severely. Look at it. One, two, three, four, five. There were five arrows on his body."

"Get out of the way." The crowd shouted in the back. Everyone flashed to both sides. Several people walked in from outside the crowd. The tall one was Cao Bao, the commander of the engineer.

The dug hole was a human bone. There were several iron arrows that were so rusty that they could barely recognize their appearance. This man might have been shot to death by these arrows.

Hangu Pass has been an ancient battlefield since the Warring States Period. It has been going on for two thousand years. Countless large and large battles have occurred in the process. The dead soldiers are even more uncountable. The engineering regiment of the 500 Army started construction here tonight. It was amazing. There were no less than a hundred ancient remains dug out by this night. The engineering regiment was almost turned into an archaeological team.

"Move the bones aside. I will be carried to the front and buried later. What are you doing here? Work quickly." Cao Bao was like a landlord and bully's supervisor. He shouted loudly at his soldiers. He didn't even want to give him a moment of rest.

"Brothers, now there is only one hour left before dawn. There is not much left for our work. Everyone works harder and hold on until dawn."

"It's finished at dawn." As soon as Cao Bao finished speaking, someone immediately responded loudly in the crowd. The soldiers seemed to be more motivated than before.

It was dawn. Gao Quan stretched his waist and sat up. Tonight he slept on the abandoned city gate tower at Hangu Pass for a night. He woke up at dawn. He got up and washed his face and looked at the sky. Before the sun rose, the sky in the east was already a little red. It seemed that it was sunny again today.

"How did everyone sleep last night?"

"I slept soundly." Wang Dazhu answered very seriously.

"You are sleeping soundly. Cao Bao hasn't slept all night." Qian Sixi rolled his eyes next to him. Although these two people didn't quarrel like Zhang Ernao and Liu Qi, they just quarrel. It's common to talk and confront each other.
