The puppet army standing guard at the entrance of the town was the people of the cavalry battalion. Of course, they knew that the Japanese instructor of the cavalry battalion, Watanabe, lieutenant, and they hurriedly sent people to take Xu Dalong and others to the cavalry battalion's battalion headquarters.

The Japanese instructor Watanabe was a little fat man. Seeing Xu Dalong's face faded, he looked at him in confusion.

Xu Dalong stepped forward and said enthusiastically: "You are Watanabe-kun. I am a fellow villager of Jiro Tanaka. Tanaka-kun said you are also a fellow villager in Osaka. I specially asked me to visit you when I passed by Wanjia Town and say hello to you on his behalf."

As he said that, he handed over the two bottles of sake in his hand and said, "This is what Tanaka-kun asked me to give to you."

The Tanaka Jiro mentioned by Xu Dalong is the Japanese captain in the front stronghold, and he is a fellow villager in Osaka with Lieutenant Watanabe.

When Watanabe heard the person speaking with an Osaka accent and introduced it to him by his fellow countryman Captain Tanaka, Watanabe immediately became enthusiastic.

He asked the orderly soldiers to take Zheng Xirong and others to the room next to rest, and he took Xu Dalong to his room.

Xu Dalong saw a black wolf dog tied at the door. The wolf dog was originally lying on the ground. When he saw a stranger coming, he stood up and let out a low whine at Xu Dalong.

Watanabe bent down and touched the dog's head, saying, "Don't yell, this is my friend."

The wolfdog seemed to be well-trained, so she stopped roaring at Xu Dalong and became intimate with Watanabe.

Xu Dalong praised: "This is a military dog, it looks very spiritual."

Watanabe said with some flaunts: "Sato, you have a lot of vision. This is really a military dog. It was specially given to me by the commander of the regiment."

Xu Dalong also walked to the wolf dog and reached out to stroke its hair. The wolf dog did not resist and seemed very obedient.

Second Lieutenant Watanabe accompanied Xu Dalong into the house and started chatting with him.

Second Lieutenant Watanabe is a cheerful little fat man. He is the only Japanese in Wanjia Town. He doesn’t even have a companion to talk to, and he feels very lonely. Therefore, when he has time, he goes to the stronghold to chat with his fellow villager Captain Tanaka.

Now a fellow villager has come and introduced him by an acquaintance. He is very happy and entertains Xu Dalong enthusiastically. The two of them have a very scheming conversation.

Xu Dalong likes this Japanese fat man very much, and he feels like he meets too late. The two of them get closer and closer. Xu Dalong simply takes off a watch from his wrist. This watch is what he seized from the Japanese artillery lieutenant, and he wants to give this watch to the fat man if he wants to give it to the fat man.

He said that he worked in Taiyuan Special High School, and there were opportunities to scoop up the money, and a mere watch was nothing.

The little fat man Watanabe was originally a little resistant to Xu Dalong's identity as a special high school class, but seeing that he was so enthusiastic and was his fellow countryman, the little bit of resistant soon disappeared. He accepted Xu Dalong's gift and said that when Xu Dalong came back from Ping'an County and passed by, he would have a good banquet for Xu Dalong.

Xu Dalong asked about the little fat man's life with concern. The little fat man was very dissatisfied with the cavalry battalion sent by himself to supervise the puppet army. The most important thing was that he was lonely here. So he complained to Xu Dalong.

Xu Dalong comforted him and said that after he returned to Taiyuan, he would report to the superior and find a way to transfer him to Taiyuan.

The fat man was even happier and felt that he had met a noble man, so he expressed his gratitude to Xu Dalong again.

Xu Dalong pretended to be angry and said that we were fellow villagers and shouldn't be polite to him.

In this way, Xu Dalong chatted with the little fat man Watanabe for about an hour. He said he would arrive at Ping'an County that day, so he said goodbye and left.

The little fat man Watanabe reluctantly gave up and personally sent Xu Dalong and others to the entrance of the town.

On the way, Xu Dalong, Zheng Xirong and others secretly paid attention to the situation in the town. When he saw two dogs chasing by the street, his brows frowned slightly.

In this way, Xu Dalong basically understood the situation of the puppet cavalry battalion, and also remembered the specific location and layout of the cavalry battalion barracks in Wanjia Town.

Xu Dalong and others left Wanjia Town and did not return to the independent regiment directly, but went to the Heian County. This time they did not enter the county town. He had learned about the Japanese troops in Heian County through Captain Tanaka and Lieutenant Watanabe. This time he came mainly to look at the terrain between Wanjia Town and Heian County.

Attacking Wanjia Town is not an easy task. You must not only understand the enemy's forces, equipment, garrison, etc., but also understand the situation of the enemy's surrounding Wanjia Town, and figure out how many reinforcements the enemy will have once the battle in Wanjia Town starts? Which route will it take? How long will it take? None of these situations can be neglected at all.

On the way back from Ping'an County, Xu Dalong and others did not return the same way, but bypassed Wanjia Town and the two Japanese and puppet troops passing by on the road. They wanted to attack Wanjia Town for the troops of the independent regiment, find the secret marching route in advance, and the route to retreat after the battle was over.

Xu Dalong walked along the way and taught Zheng Xirong and others the experience of reconnaissance work. Zheng Xirong and others felt that they benefited a lot and were increasingly impressed by Xu Dalong.

After returning to Yangcun, Xu Dalong and others did not go directly to the regiment headquarters, but came to the special service platoon's base and asked Zhao Xiaoman to inform Wang Xiaohu quietly and asked him to quietly tell Li Yunlong.

Not long after, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and Zhang Dabiao also quietly came to the residence of the Special Service Terminal. The reason they did this was because of this matter, and they had to hide it from the political commissar Zhao Gang for the time being.

The transfer of troops in the army is not something that the commander can do at will. In peacetime, when a company is mobilized, the troops must be registered with the military-level leadership organs. In wartime, there are not so many rules, but when a battalion troops are mobilized to perform combat tasks, they must also be registered with the brigade or division-level leadership organs. As the political commissar, Zhao Gang must take responsibility and he will definitely block it.

After Xu Dalong returned to the station of the Independent Regiment, he sorted out and summarized the reconnaissance situation, drew a map of enemy and us centered on Wanjia Town, and marked the learned enemy situation and terrain characteristics on it in detail.

Li Yunlong and others saw it clearly.

Kong Jie praised: "Xu Dalong, your professional level of homework is probably unique in our entire brigade."

After understanding the situation, Li Yunlong and others began to discuss the combat plan to attack Wanjia Town.

Zhang Dabiao proposed that the troops lie in the daytime and walk at night, and took two days to walk the 80km road. After arriving at Wanjia Town, he lurked outside the town and waited until a sudden attack was launched at night.

Li Yunlong and Kong Jie agreed with Zhang Dabiao's opinion and decided to implement the plan according to this plan.

At this time, Xu Dalong said, "Captain, I have some ideas. Can I mention them?"

Xu Dalong is just a platoon leader now. When he decides major combat missions, he is not qualified to speak.

Now Xu Dalong's performance has been recognized by several leaders, and they also want to hear Xu Dalong's opinions. Li Yunlong asked: "What do you think?"

Xu Dalong said: "The combat plan proposed by Battalion Commander Zhang has no problem in general. However, there is another problem that needs to be solved.

There are many people in Wanjia Town who have dogs. At night, our troops will definitely alarm the dogs in the town. A dog barking will cause a group of dogs to bark, and will definitely cause the puppet troops to be alert.

Wanjia Town is a big town with thousands of families, and the barracks of the puppet army are in the town. If the puppet army in the town cannot be quickly captured and the puppet army and the people in the town are mixed together, this battle will be difficult. I am afraid that the officers and soldiers of our independent regiment and those people may suffer major casualties.

Wanjia Town is only 22km away from Ping'an County. If Wanjia Town cannot be taken down in a short period of time, once the Japanese reinforcements arrive, our mission will probably be difficult to complete."

Li Yunlong and others obviously did not expect such a detail and were stunned for a moment.
