The twilight in autumn is obviously much shorter than that in summer. There is a saying on the plain: "Sunset ten miles to catch the county town." But the twilight in the mountainous areas of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is extremely short. As the sun hits the mountain, the dark shadows fall into the valley. As the sun gradually settles, the night becomes thicker and thicker. The mountains are becoming more and more dangerous, and the road is becoming more and more difficult to walk. Looking up, the towering rocks are hanging high above the head, as if they are about to fall down at any time. The unique sultry climate in the south makes these men from the Sichuan Basin unacceptable. They lower their heads and look down. The stone walls of the Jedi are cut by a knife, which are high and deep, making people feel as if they are walking in the sky.

The Independent Special Division of the People's Army changed from planning to besiege Qujing, and changed to a detour to Qianfuta Mountain Area and directly into Ma Street to encircle two divisions of the Yunnan Army. However, each unit had already launched an arrangement to attack Qujing, and it took a whole day to gather the troops and set off later than the Fourth Division. The roads in the mountain area it was walking on were narrow and the road conditions were not familiar. It was difficult to find a good guide in the local area, and it indirectly delayed the time.

"Team leader, don't talk. Follow, be careful of the soles of his feet." He heard the second commander of the main force of the Special Forces Division. At this time, the slope was shouting in the dark forest like night. Because the road was muddy and difficult, the second regiment had several horses carrying ammunition slipped down the ravine. Fortunately, there were no casualties in the soldiers so far, which was a blessing in disgrace.

"Sir! After passing this mountain, you can see the horse street after climbing over the two hills in front of you." The accompanying guide looked at the second regiment commander and said tremblingly: "I usually walk here, and I don't know the road ahead. Is it okay?" The second regiment commander showed a sincere smile on his face and said comfortingly: "Uncle! You also know that we are all from Sichuan. We don't know the road at all. No matter how you say you are also a local. Our People's Army is a team of ordinary people. Once Yunnan is liberated, you will get the land and food allocated by the government. Just believe us! Can you help us find a guide to understand the road?"

Jin Yihong, the political commissar of the Second Regiment, walked up and said, "My fellow, is there any village in the valley ahead?" "There is one village, but it is said that it is occupied by a group of bandits." The guide said without hesitation: "After going down the mountain, you can see it after walking a few miles to the left." "Oh! Thank you very much, fellow fellow!" Political Commissar Jin turned to his guard and said, "Get all my food." He took the guard's food bag and put it in the guide's callous hands, and said with emotion: "My fellow, when I was not in the army, I was a poor man hunting in the mountains like you! This little food is what we thank you for the food and salary you led the way this time, please accept it!"

The second regiment commander Deng Liping complained: "Political Commissar, if you arrive, how can you let the guide go? Now let's go there?" "Look, the guide is right. There is indeed a village at the foot of the mountain. Whether it is a bandit or a mountain citizen, it will be our best guide." The political commissar smiled and said jokingly: "I'm talking about it. Our guide may really not know the way. There is no need to make things difficult for him, otherwise the Military Discipline Committee will come to you." Deng Liping's face changed and he hurriedly defended: "I have no intention. But, as the division advance group, our regiment must find the road to Majie. It has been delayed for two days. If we join, if we don't arrive on time, the division commander will curse again."

"Yes! I personally lead a row of troops to find a guide. You should lead the troops along this road first. At the same time, it is difficult for the division commander to telegraph the actual difficulties." Political Commissar Jin sighed softly and said helplessly.

"Report! Telegram from the Division." The People's Army's radio station has now been equipped with a regiment-level command post.

Telegram: The 7th and 8th Divisions of the Yunnan Army have escaped from the encirclement I reserved and turned to Majie. The 1st Regiment of the Fourth Division, currently stationed in Majie, has been surrounded by the Yunnan Army. I specially ordered your regiment to rush for assistance and no mistakes should be made.

"Grandma, the Dian Army is so fucking cunning." The second regiment commander cursed, but still issued an order without any delay: "Order the battalions to despise all the materials that are not needed for battle and run forward. Political Commissar, take people to find the guide, leave the logistics troops to collect the remaining materials, and concentrate them in any village or bandit nest." "Okay! As soon as the guide finds it, I will arrive immediately." Political Commissar Jin nodded and replied.

It was another moonlit night, and the surroundings were extremely quiet. Flashes of coolness and humid air floated through the gaps between the mountains, giving people a leisurely and comfortable feeling. All the troops of the 1st Regiment of the Fourth Division had contracted to the vicinity of Majie, and were ready to use the favorable building houses of Majie to resist the attack of nearly 20,000 soldiers of the Yunnan Army one by one. The night was the best cover for offensives, and it was also the time when the enemy and us were the least easy to distinguish. It depends on who had the organizational ability and the soldiers' individual combat quality.

Gu Guangyi rode on a horse and looked at the exhausted soldiers around him. His originally heavy mood became a little heavier. All signs showed that his main second regiment had been surrounded by the Third Division and the Fourth Division of the Sichuan Army. The Sichuan Army artillery unit, which he was worried about, began to show his power after the Second regiment was surrounded. "The First regiment commander, order your unit as the advance unit to give you two hours to rest the troops and immediately launch an attack on Majie. You must know that the ammunition supplies we lack are there and cannot be taken! We all have to drink the northwest wind, do you understand?" Gu Guangyi said sternly: "Other troops rest on site."

The reconnaissance battalion sent troops to east, north and west to reconnaissance. The farther the better, pay attention to the Sichuan Army's dynamics at any time." "Yes! Our first regiment will definitely take down Majie tonight!" The first regiment boasted first. "Don't talk too much. The Sichuan Army's combat power is very strong, and the artillery is stronger than us. Be careful in everything!" Gu Guangyi couldn't help but instruct: "I will concentrate all the firepower of the entire division to support you. The attack must be decisive and there must be no hesitation at all." "Teacher Commander! Don't worry, if you can't take down Majie, I will come to see you." The first regiment commander, who was born in a bandit, stared at Majie with a fierce and hatred look on his face, and expressed his determination urgently.

The sound of horse hooves came from afar. When Gu Guangyi heard it, he knew it was Cai Wenhan, the commander of the Eighth Division, and hurriedly led everyone to meet him. "Teacher Gu!" He was not dressed, and even the military cap on his head was bumpy or blown by the wind. The brim of the hat was adjusted in the direction, and he shouted from afar: "Brother, I will survive this disaster, and I will have good fortune in the future." Gu Guangyi was eager to know the situation of the Eighth Division, so he ran to him and asked, "Teacher Cai, what is the situation of your Eighth Division?"

"Fortunately, I'm quick to see the opportunity, otherwise I would have been fucked by the Sichuan Army to make dumplings. It's dangerous!" His rough face showed an unwilling look from time to time. The Eighth Division advanced side by side with the Seventh Division when he set out, but due to the different terrain and the purpose of their attacks, the distance between the two divisions became larger and larger, and the People's Army seized the opportunity to cut off their contact. Cai Wenhan received a large number of Sichuan troops appearing on his left wing, and thought in his mind that in order to be on the safe side, he hurriedly sent a reconnaissance force to the right wing. The reconnaissance result confirmed his concerns. The main force of the Fourth Division of the People's Army was detouring his right wing. Cai Wenhan was afraid that the 8th Division, which he had worked hard to pull the growing direct eighth Division, was completely eliminated by the Sichuan Army, and hurriedly ordered the regiments to retreat twenty miles immediately.

But his retreat was not thorough enough, and he was closely tied to the 4th Division and the 3rd Division of the People's Army that followed, especially the troops behind the Eighth Division of the Yunnan Army, who eventually did not escape the fate of destruction.

Gu Guangyi roughly understood the situation of the Eighth Division and said to Cai Shizhang with an urgent expression: "I won't say much. Now the situation is in crisis. In front of us is a regiment of Sichuan Army, and all the ammunition supplies are here. Behind us is the Sichuan Army, which is more than 50,000, and we will be chasing us. It is estimated that we will arrive early the next morning, leaving us only twenty-eight hours. Joining us for a detour, it is still difficult to change the situation of the destruction of the entire army. Therefore, we must concentrate our absolute superior forces and strive to take down Majie in the shortest time."

"Okay," Cai Wenhan heard that there was only one regiment of Sichuan Army, and his confidence increased. He replied without hesitation: "My Eighth Division will obey your orders."

"Okay, I'm responsible for the attack on the north and west sides, I'll ask you guys for the rest!"

"Don't worry! The brothers of our eighth division are not grandma." Then the two discussed the attack in detail, and the troops were absolutely rested for a moment, and agreed to launch an attack on time late at night.

On midnight in late autumn, gusts of breeze in the mountains blew on people, trembling slightly and chilling. The bright moon in the sky seemed to be unhappy and stretched out its face, appearing and disappearing. The Yunnan Army gathered the most elite infantry and was ambushed only a thousand meters away from the Sichuan Army's position in Majie. All the artillery soldiers who could concentrate were quietly waiting for the order to open fire. With the loud gunshots passing through the night sky, the attack began. In an instant, the large and small artillery fires of the Yunnan Army on Majie all directions sounded wildly. Mountain shells, burning bullets, and mortar shells spread thousands of light and sparks in the air.

When conducting night battles, the well-trained Dian Army knew that any mountain or barrier in Majie would become a fortress used by the Sichuan Army to resist. Many of them could not distinguish the direction for a while in places with such unfamiliar terrain, and it was easy to get into the trap or trap arranged by the Sichuan Army. All Dian Army adopted the conservative method, "exploding one piece, attack one piece, attack one piece, occupy one piece" method, and tightening their encirclement step by step. Even so, there were more Dian Army falling under the bullets than the People's Army. The People's Army heavy machine guns located on the commanding heights of Majie seemed to have become the meat-making machine for the soldiers of the Yunnan Army. A bullet would devour a soldier's life. Looking at the fallen soldiers, the heartless Gu Guangyi saw them in the telescope, not only secretly left tears, but also shocked at the tactical arrangement and cooperation of the People's Army.

Deng Zhenguo analyzed the appeal war situation and believed that the focus of the Yunnan Army's attack was on the Eastern Front, which was the greatest danger. The commander of the Yunnan Army believed that the terrain here was complex and the People's Army would not deploy heavy troops here. Although it was conducive to defense, it could also provide cover for the enemy's attacking troops, so it launched a strong attack at any cost. Several buildings near the Eastern Front were all blown and caught fire. The seemingly weak mountain wind blew harder and became stronger in the middle of the night. The wind blew the sparks and thick smoke, and the wind blew.

The ground was blowing towards the city. A famous major staff advised Deng Zhenguo whether to move the command center from the eastern line to the north of the city. However, Deng Zhenguo was severely scolded. He said firmly: "No change of arrangements is allowed. Whether it is a fire from the front or a shell that explodes in front of the position, all the officers and soldiers of the regiment do not have to pay attention to it. They must wait for it to burn around and then go to put out the fire. I order you to keep the position closely. It is our top priority and our sacred responsibility! Be sure to persevere until the main force arrives!"

Deng Zhenguo was still worried about the battle situation on the Eastern Front, so he decided to go and see it in person, trotting all the way, and from time to time to avoid shells that might explode around him. After half an hour of difficult trek, he finally walked into the command center of the Second Battalion of the Eastern Front. The battalion commander Deng Hong was shouting: "I don't care what you are doing, rush up and get it back within half an hour!"

Deng Zhenguo saw his face flushed and his lips were dry and cracked. He turned around and saluted Deng Zhenguo and reported in a hoarse voice: "Since midnight, the Yunnan Army has attacked with intensive troops, with 20 or 30 people in one team, one team following one team, and at a young age, there were four or five teams. At most, there were eight teams. The soldiers of the Fifth Company at the forefront blocked the enemy's pounce seven times. At 3:30 in the morning, the Yunnan Army concentrated more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns of all sizes and large, and the artillery kept assisting the battle, and bombarded the Fifth Company's positions.

The fortifications were completely destroyed, and the soldiers had to resist outside the fortifications. Later, the Yunnan Army charged for the ninth intensive team. The fifth company commander Wang Zhengfang was seriously injured and refused to retreat. The platoon leader was angry, but he brought more than half of the casualties to counterattack the enemy who was charging, and fought with grenades and bayonets. The enemy's offensive was temporarily stopped, but none of the platoon leaders and soldiers who rushed forward came back." As he said that, tears remained sadly along the eyes of the usually strong man.

Deng Zhenguo's shocked eyes seemed to be questioning him, and after a long time, he asked: "Why? Don't you concentrate artillery fire against the Yunnan Army's wave-style charge formation?" Before Battalion Commander Deng could answer, he heard a very close place, "dong, dong" ran away.

"Captain, the troops marched urgently and left all the heavy artillery behind. There were only some mortars that could not suppress the artillery fire of the Yunnan Army!" Deng Hong said anxiously and helplessly. They walked out of the battalion's bunker. When the Second Battalion concentrated all the mortars to fight back fiercely, the shells fell into the enemy's position, and they immediately began to prepare to evacuate the position. The Yunnan Army opposite was silent for a few minutes, but their artillery was observed for a lot, so they determined the location of the mortar position here. In an instant, there were more than a dozen large calibers.

The artillery fired here, from east to west. On the horizon, it was about two miles long, with red lights flashing. The enemy was firing mountain cannons without restrictions, and the rumbling sound was like continuous thunder. The ballistic brought out a series of fire in the dark sky, shooting into parabolas at the positions that had retreated. The shells exploded and shattered, and countless lights were cracked in the sky, as if they were like the god of death in war, stretching out a thousand-foot-foot-thousand-foot-thousand-grabbing demons and tearing them down to the defending positions.

Deng Zhenguo and the second battalion commander immediately saw a fierce bullet flying towards him. They immediately fell to the ground. The movement of the shell was as fast as theirs. With a loud noise, the ground under them vibrated. Flames and soil suddenly rose from the dry position, stirring up several feet high.

Deng Zhenguo got up desperately and rushed to the battalion command post. Because he knew the situation was urgent, he grabbed the Majie map on the table and thought carefully, as if he was looking through the map. "Battleman Commander Deng, immediately order the troops to retreat!" "Retreat?" Deng Hong looked at his regiment commander in surprise, as if he didn't recognize him. "Yes, retreat, have the advantage of the artillery of the Yunnan Army on the periphery. Once we enter the city, the Yunnan Army will never dare to use heavy artillery!" Deng Zhenguo smiled proudly and looked at Deng Hong who was a little stupid and said, "Execute the order! My comrade!"

The commander of the 7th Division of the Yunnan Army did not disappoint Gu Guangyi's high hopes for him and took the frontier position of the Sichuan Army's defense in one fell swoop. However, he became a little hesitant and felt that the God of Death was simply ridiculous. You feared it, and it drove you firmly, but if you defeated it, you retreated. However, he sincerely admired these Sichuan Army, which were seriously insufficient in his heart. The People's Army's army was not afraid of sacrifice, had a strong sense of combat, reasonable firepower, and the soldiers' individual combat capabilities were obviously better than those of Yunnan.

The army is much stronger. If it weren't for concentrating all the light and heavy weapons and killing the Sichuan Army in large numbers, it would be a delusion to stand here now. "Report to the division headquarters immediately! My first regiment has taken down the first line of defense of the Sichuan Army, and the troops have suffered heavy casualties! I will be ready to rest for an hour and launch an attack on the inner defense position of Majie and request fire support from the artillery troops." The commander of the regiment looked unexcited as he had taken the slightest part of the occupation, but was full of concerns, and mechanically issued the next combat plan.

Gu Guangyi's division headquarters was also located on the eastern front. When he received the news that a regiment had occupied the enemy's position, he still showed a little smile. But he knew that the most difficult battle would be carried out outside Majie, which would be a place for desperate battle. From the captured Sichuan Army, he learned that the Sichuan Army command headquarters was located in the east of the city. As long as the enemy's command headquarters could be destroyed, the victory balance would tilt the Yunnan Army. "Agree with the combat deployment of the first regiment, order the artillery position to advance ten miles forward, and coordinate the attack of the first regiment." Gu Guangyi saw the information sent by the first regiment, and said without much thought. "Report! The Fourth Regiment and the Eighth Division have occupied the Sichuan Army positions respectively. This is the battle report sent by the Eighth Division!" A division staff member with an excited expression on his face ran in impulsively and shouted happily.

"What?" Gu Guangyi asked in surprise, the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan Army was not that bad! The Eastern Front was because of the support of all artillery and the fierce attacks. Could it be that the Sichuan Army deployed all the most elite troops on the Eastern Front? It is unlikely? He thought about it, and told himself that it was impossible. In this way, the Sichuan Army took the initiative to retreat? But the positions on the Eastern Front were always in an alternating state, and a regiment paid nearly a thousand lives to seize it. He bent down slightly, supported his shoulders on the table, staring at the map with his eyes, guessing the Sichuan Army's intention to retreat. When he saw the obvious charts of ammunition and food in the city, he immediately understood, and sighed, "Awesome, amazing!" But he didn't say it. If there were no soldiers covered by artillery firepower, I don't know how many people would not see the rising sun tomorrow.
