The morning after returning from the rape, Shanzi informed Yumei and Zhao Danian of a meeting.
Before the meeting started, Zhao Danian said,
The second recruitment of the independent regiment has temporarily ended, and the distribution of new recruits has been completed. The total number of the regiment has reached 1,432.
Among the fourteen newly recruited female soldiers, only four places were allocated to the munitions and military affairs departments, and the others were all incorporated into the medical team.
As of now, in addition to two doctors and the captain and deputy captain, the medical team has a total of 22 health workers, divided into three medical teams, all of whom are lesbians.
Xiaoru interrupted at this time: "Captain Wang, Xiaoru has a suggestion. I wonder if I can put it forward."
Shanzi said: "Give you a chance,"
Xiaoru continued,
At present, there are only three people on duty in the news room. Once you leave your post temporarily for trivial matters such as going to the toilet, delays in sending and receiving are very likely to occur, especially in wartime or emergencies, which will inevitably lead to adverse consequences.
Based on Xiaoru's suggestion, Shanzi immediately decided to select three health workers from the medical team to serve as radio operators, so that the radio office would have two people on duty and three shifts.
After arranging Xiaoru's agenda, Shanzi instructed the regimental announcer to call the reconnaissance platoon leader to come to the regiment headquarters.
When they first heard that Shizi was informed to come to the regiment headquarters, Yumei and Zhao Danian felt puzzled.
It was not long, and Shizi took his seat from the regiment headquarters. Shanzi said: "Today is December 28th. According to the Japanese army's plan to strengthen the defense of Qiaonan, the troop deployment operation may be launched in two days."
Zhao Danian echoed: "Almost,"
Shanzi asked Xiaoru again: "What is the maximum distance of the walkie-talkie?"
Xiaoru introduced carefully that the current antenna length is uniformly 2.4 meters. Due to different terrains, the transmitting distance should be 40 to 50 kilometers, and the calling distance should be 10 to 20 kilometers.
Shan Zi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "That's enough,"
After laughing, Shanzi asked if the existing operator would send a telegram.
Xiaoru said that because she participated in the anti-rape operation, she had to hand over her self-compiled internal code book to the news office, which was responsible for the training. As for the proficiency level, she had to ask the radio operator.
Shanzi instructed Xiaoru to go to the press room and ask for clarification.
Returning from the dispatch room, Xiaoru reported to Shanzi that the dispatcher had mastered basic dispatching skills, memorized the dispatching password, and had the requirements to work independently.
Shanzi once again instructed Xiaoru to select six radio operators from each company in addition to the existing radio operators in the reconnaissance platoon, and notify them to immediately go to the reconnaissance platoon to be on standby.

No one knows what kind of medicine is in Shanzi's gourd, and the more they listen, the more confused they become.
Yumei said: "Zikai, since it is a meeting, we should put the issues and things on the table. Can you explain it to everyone?"
Shanzi said: "Cut the road halfway and ambush Qiaonan to recruit additional Japanese troops."
Yumei and Zhao Danian looked at each other when they heard about the ambush in Qiaonan and the reinforcement of Japanese troops.
Zhao Danian made some innuendo and raised three questions.
First of all, the additional Japanese troops in Qiaonan were mobilized from the entire Shandong theater. The additional troops were divided into several routes. The number of soldiers in each route and the directions from which they came are all unknown.
Furthermore, the independent regiment moved large-scale and long-distance, and could not avoid enemy battle zones during its journey. Once discovered by the Japanese army, it would not be me ambushing the Japanese army, but the Japanese army chasing and killing me.
Secondly, there is no accuracy in the time and location of the ambush. Once you miss the opportunity, it doesn't matter if you return in vain, lest you encounter other unexpected risks.
Zhao Danian continued,
Currently, the Japanese army has two Class-A divisions and four independent mixed brigades stationed in Shandong. The divisions and brigade units alone are stationed in as many as five places, distributed in a C shape in the three directions of Qiaonan, east, west, and north.
In addition, there are hundreds of roads leading to Qiaonan. Who knows which road the Japanese army took, and how can a single reconnaissance platoon find out their whereabouts?
Shanzi looked at Persimmon with a joking look: "It all depends on Platoon Leader Wang's ability."
Persimmon said: "Don't worry, Deputy Commander Zhao. As long as there are fish in the river, even a blind man can catch one."
Zhao Danian looked at Yumei subconsciously, and Yumei said: "Zikai, Deputy Commander Zhao and I do not object to your battle plan, but we must make the specific plan clear."
Shanzi said: "It can be said that the reconnaissance plan and the ambush plan can only be decided based on the reconnaissance results,"
Yumei then said: "Then you first talk about the reconnaissance plan,"
Regarding the reconnaissance plan, Shanzi was confident.
Judging from the situation of the Japanese troops stationed in Qiaonan, the additional Japanese troops marched towards Qiaonan from seven areas including Lingjunshan, Yangcheng, Zhouzhuang, Pingchuan, Yantai, Weihaiwei and Qingdao.
However, due to the dense Japanese defenses in the west and east and the smooth roads, which facilitated rapid reinforcements, it was not suitable to choose these two directions for ambush warfare, and could only be carried out in the northwest to northeast area.
Based on this consideration, Shanzi decided to set up two reconnaissance groups and six communication groups in the reconnaissance platoon. Each reconnaissance group had three people and went to Zhouzhuang and Pingchuan to conduct reconnaissance along the way for the additional Japanese troops in the north.
Each group of two people in the communication team is distributed in a "Y" shape starting from Circle Ridge, with a communication point set up every fifty kilometers to relay information.
Shanzi particularly emphasized that the reconnaissance range should be at least one hundred kilometers away from Qiaonan. Only in this way can the independent regiment have enough time to race against the Japanese and rush to 50 kilometers away from Qiaonan to set up an ambush to prevent the Japanese troops in Linshui and Qiaonan.
Send troops to help in time.
After listening to Shanzi's reconnaissance plan, Yumei asked: "Zikai, are you sure the Japanese army will increase its troops in Zhouzhuang and Pingchuan? What if there are no more troops in these two places?"
Shanzi said: "If anything happens, we should give the reconnaissance platoon a chance to practice."
Zhao Danian continued: "Commander Wang, there is another contingency that must be considered. If the independent regiment sends troops and the news is revealed, Ando will definitely counterattack Quanquanling Ridge with the Linshui Regiment."
Shanzi told Zhao Danian that once he decided to send troops, he must leave the camp secretly at night. After leaving the camp, the camp would be sealed tightly and no one would be allowed to enter Quanquanling. All visitors would be met outside the camp.
After the ambush plan was established, Shanzi took a look at his watch and ordered Persimmon to immediately go back to the reconnaissance platoon to make preparations and set off on horseback before ten o'clock.
Shizi left, and Shanzi instructed Yumei to call Xiaofeng and inform Xiaoru to return to the regiment headquarters.
Xiaoru returned to the regiment headquarters and, under Shanzi's instigation, took the topographic map of the surrounding camp area from the confidential room and spread it on the desk in front of Shanzi's chest.
Shanzi first pointed to Huanglang Mountain.
From the terrain point of view, Huanglang Mountain is higher than the north and south landforms. Standing on Huanglang Mountain and looking north and south, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery within twenty miles. If there is an enemy situation, you can detect it early.
Judging from the distance, Huanglang Mountain is only eight miles away from Quanquan Ridge. During the slack season in winter, villages should be mobilized to fortify households and dig out caves for at least one battalion to serve as the second garrison of the independent regiment. At the same time, it should be equipped with corresponding troops.
Bunkers and other fortifications.
Shanzi said that this move was intended to help the independent regiment cooperate inside and outside when it was under siege, break the formation and rescue the siege, and avoid the tragedy of siege from happening again. During the construction period, idlers were not allowed to enter, and Huanglang Mountain was sealed off day and night.
After giving instructions on Huanglang Mountain, Shanzi made another suggestion. Since the passage in the dark pit position has been exposed, a new passage must be opened to turn the original passage into a dark pit area.
Speaking of this, Shanzi made a clear division of labor. He himself led the team in this long-range ambush, and Zhao Danian was responsible for the civil engineering. While the troops were away fighting, Yumei took charge of the daily work of the independent regiment.
