"Reporting to Colonel Tamaki, we...we found a suspected Eighth Route Army station..." the traitor said with lingering fear.
Then, he carefully explained everything in detail.
"Xinxi, you are very smart, and you deserve a lot of credit." Yumuling looked excited and patted his shoulder several times.
Zhoujia Village?
In Yumuling's memory, she seemed to have passed by this small village once. At that time, there were no villagers in the village. She didn't expect that Balu could be hidden in that place.
"What's your name and unit number?" Tamaki Ling looked at the Imperial Alliance Army in front of her and asked with a smile.
"Tell your Majesty, I am Ergouzi." Ergouzi said flatteringly: "I am the defender of the Sidaokou stronghold, and I belong to the Dingyang County Security Group."
"Er Gouzi, what's this name?" Yumuling looked puzzled. It was the first time he heard this strange name.
"Reporting to Taijun, my family is poor, and my father is looking for a humble name so that he can make a living. He originally wanted to give me a name when I grow up," Ergouzi said.
"Unexpectedly, my parents died before I grew up, and this name has been called to this day."
"Xinxi, that's it." Yumuling nodded and said: "Although your mother is dead and your father is dead, we, the Imperial Army, will give you another parent!
If you work well for the Imperial Army, the Imperial Army will not treat you badly, do you understand?"
"Hai, Hai, I understand, I must have done a lot of harm to the imperial army!" Ergouzi was stunned for a moment, then stood up and gave a not-so-standard military salute.
Compared with being a miserable cannon fodder in the security regiment, embracing the lap of a senior Japanese officer is the way to go.
Looking at the commander in front of him, Ergouzi thought that he was about to become famous, and maybe one day he could become the leader of the security group.
I have to say that the name Ergouzi is indeed worthy of what he is currently doing. This time, not only is the name a bitch, but the person is also a bitch.
But then, he felt a biting pain coming from his butt.
It turned out that when he was pretending to be dead and escaping, his butt was hit by a stray bullet.
"What's wrong?" Yumuling frowned.
"Taijun, my buttocks are injured, so I have to work." Ergouzi answered honestly.
Tamaki Ling said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. If you give a lot of credit, the imperial army doctor will bandage your wounds personally."
"Hai, thank you Taijun!" Ergouzi said flattered.
"You deserve this. After successfully wiping out the Eighth Route Army, you will get an extra reward!" As she said that, Yumu Ling waved her hand and called a guard in, asking him to take Ergouzi to bandage the wound.
Ergouzi left here respectfully.
Yumuling walked quickly to the map and quickly found the address of Zhoujiacun, with a sneer on her lips.
A trace of contempt suddenly arose in my heart.
Tubal Road is indeed Tubal Road. The base areas chosen are all close to the mountains. Is it for the convenience of escape?
"I'll see where you can run this time!" Yumuling's eyes flashed with anger, and she quickly returned to the table and began to formulate a plan to attack the 28th Regiment's base area.
…
The Japanese army might attack on a certain day, and Ding Wei had no intention of sleeping now. He summoned cadres from various departments to formulate the next battle plan.
28th Regiment Headquarters.
The three infantry battalion commanders Zhang Long, Lu Fang, and Zhao Hu, the artillery battalion commander Zhuzi, and the cavalry brigade captain Sun Desheng sat next to Ding Wei.
"Comrades, even if I don't need to say anything this time, I think you all know that the Japs will be here soon." Ding Wei said straight to the point.
"The main purpose of this meeting is to formulate the combat tasks of each department."
Everyone nodded in unison.
"Commander, just give the order directly." Zhang Long shouted.
"I've been training for so long and I've already worn it out. What do you want to do?" Zhao Hu followed.
Zhu Zhu echoed: "Commander, just tell me where you want to blow up, and I promise to handle it for you. The bombing will make the Japanese cry for father and mother."
Since joining the 28th Regiment, Ding Wei has truly fully developed Zhuzi's talents.
Wang Chengzhu, who was originally just an artilleryman, can now be called "Battalion Commander Wang".
Before this, Wang Chengzhu didn't even dare to think about it.
Of course, a large part of the reason for this is that the New Regiment doesn't have many cannons, and Zhuzi is a skilled woman there who can only serve as an artilleryman.
Now that the artillery battalion has enough ammunition, there is no need to use the artillery shells to buckle the ropes as before.
"Okay, I see you are all very motivated now." Ding Wei nodded with satisfaction: "Don't embarrass me on the battlefield then!"
After a pause, Ding Wei continued: "I believe everyone can already feel that the Japanese defense line is getting closer and closer, and the security is getting tighter and tighter.
However, the troops of the Japs have also been diluted a lot. This is a golden opportunity for us.
We must seize this opportunity to expand our strength while fighting, inflict heavy losses on the enemy behind the enemy lines, and buy more time for the development of the army."
Ding Wei said as he walked to the map on the wall.
Several marching routes were drawn on the map at this time.
"This is the route for the Japs to increase their troops that I analyzed through intelligence collection." Ding Wei picked up the long stick on the table and pointed at the map.
"The little devils want to use the railway as a pillar, the highways as chains, and the bunkers as locks to carry out a cage policy and completely surround us here.
In addition, the Little Devils have built solid strongholds in towns and cities along the railway lines, near stations, bridges, and tunnels.
Each site is guarded by dozens to hundreds of troops, and armored trains are sent to patrol to prevent sabotage.
Moreover, there are a line of peripheral strongholds built at key points 10 to 15 kilometers on both sides of the railway. The little devil said that the areas along the Taipei Railway are "inaccessible".
After the Japanese operations during this period, they used it to isolate our various units from the headquarters and division headquarters, and also wanted to use it as a basis to attack the anti-Japanese base areas."
"Damn, that little devil is really ambitious." Zhang Long said sternly: "Commander, we can't just sit back and wait for death."
"That's right!" Ding Wei nodded and said: "Of course we can't sit still and wait for death, so this time we must choose to take the initiative, destroy the enemy's railways along the way, and block the enemy's reinforcements as much as possible."
Upon hearing this, the four cadres all looked at Ding Wei eagerly. If there was a chance to go out to meet the enemy, who would be willing to stay in the base and suffer.
Leading the troops out to fight the Japanese, beating the Japanese to a bloody head and running away is what they really want to do in their hearts.
They were all full of expectations, hoping that Ding Wei would put this offensive task on themselves.
"Commander, please leave this task to our first battalion, and I will ensure that you look good." Zhang Long was the first to speak.
"Old Zhang, I'm not convinced when you say that. What do you mean by giving you a battalion? The Shotai Line is so long, can you handle it one by one?" Lu Fang looked at Zhang Long and said unconvinced.
"You kid are not afraid of pushing yourself to death."
After a pause, Lu Fang looked at Ding Wei and said: "Captain, the Second Battalion was the main battalion from the beginning. As you know, the combat effectiveness of the Second Battalion has never been worse since its establishment.
The victories won by the Second Battalion are among the best in the regiment, so I think this mission belongs to the Second Battalion."
"Lu Fang, what do you mean?" Zhang Long was anxious.
"Lu, you have such a strong tone. How about we practice again?" Zhao Hu said unconvinced: "This time we have soldiers versus soldiers, battalion commanders versus battalion commanders, one on one. Whoever loses will give up.
Second mission!"
"Zhao Xiaomao, you think I'm afraid of you, and you forgot about being captured alive by me during training!" Lu Fang teased.
"When it comes to training, the Second Battalion has never been afraid of anyone. Our Second Battalion's winning rate has always been at the top of the list during training. When it comes to fighting, the Second Battalion has never failed. When the charge horn sounds, no one from the Second Battalion is at the forefront.
Zhao Xiaomao, if you want to experience what it's like to be captured alive again, I don't mind. Let's just do this. You two camps, one dragon and one tiger, go together.
It saves me having to clean them up one by one, I will just stew them in one pot and make a pot of dragon and tiger fighting."
Lu Fang laughed twice and said: "Don't be unconvinced, we have to rely on our strength to tell the truth, right, Zhao Xiaomao."
"Who are you talking about, Zhao Xiaomao!" Zhao Hu said with wide eyes.
"I will blame anyone who is angry." Lu Fang said nonchalantly.
"Fuck, I have to beat you up!" Zhao Hu rolled up his sleeves.
Zhuzi looked like he was watching a show. He wanted to go out and fight the main attack, but he knew better than to let the artillery battalion send out troops alone unless his regimental commander was crazy.
As for Sun Desheng, it was rare that he didn't interrupt. He sat on his chair and looked like he was determined to win.
Wang Chengzhu looked at it curiously, wondering why Sun Desheng, who had been clamoring for a fight before, was so quiet.
Seeing the three infantry battalion commanders quarreling with each other, a look of disdain flashed across Sun Desheng's lips.
What is important when attacking a railway line is to be fast, accurate and ruthless, and to cause damage to the line as quickly as possible.
Apart from the cavalry brigade, there is no other unit in the entire 28th Regiment that has this kind of mobility. You three can just stay at home this time!
The three battalion commanders all wanted to win this main attack mission, but they saw that the smell of gunpowder here was getting stronger and stronger.
Ding Wei said in a deep voice: "Why are you making such a fuss? I'm still here. Do you want to shake things up? I haven't given the order yet, so why are you making such a fuss?"
One or two of you are already great, and you feel that you can do it again. Have you forgotten what you were like before?"
Ding Wei's voice was so frightening that the three of them shrank their heads and closed their mouths at the same time, not daring to say another word.
"It's a good thing that the three of you are so motivated, but we are all colleagues in the same team. If we are just arguing, no one will fight." Ding Wei said calmly.
"You are so hardworking and capable of fighting against the Japanese. How can you fight against your own people?"
The three of them lowered their heads in shame at the same time.
"You three don't have to argue. Even if you lose your mind, this mission has nothing to do with you." Ding Wei said.
"Why?"
This time, the three of them were united and asked at the same time, looking at Ding Wei with a bit of confusion.
"Captain, did we have a quarrel just now that made you angry?"
"No, captain, it's been a tough battle. We need to let the brothers stretch their muscles."
"That is to say, otherwise, we have three battalions, and each of us has two companies. This is fair."
…
The three battalion commanders spoke one after another.
"It has nothing to do with you, I have never considered you in this matter." Ding Wei said directly: "It's useless for you to argue this time, this is the mission to attack the Zhengtai Railway Line.
I will personally lead the cavalry brigade to complete it. You three battalions just stay around our base and beware of the Japanese stealing our hometown."
"Cavalry brigade?" The three of them looked at Sun Desheng standing aside.
With a winning smile on his face, Sun Desheng straightened his back and looked at the three battalion commanders proudly.
Immediately, he stood up and saluted: "Report to the commander, the cavalry brigade promises to complete the mission!"
Only then did Zhuzhu understand why Sun Desheng looked so determined to win. It turned out that he had known for a long time that this mission belonged to him.
"Why, Captain." Zhang Long was a little unconvinced.
The other two battalion commanders also looked at Ding Wei, trying to find an answer.
"This mission to attack the railway line requires speed, accuracy and ruthlessness without giving the Japanese any chance to react. The cavalry brigade is suitable for lightning operations." Ding Wei said calmly.
"Although your fighting ability is not bad, once you get into trouble with the Japanese, it will be difficult to evacuate the battlefield quickly. Of course, if you think you can run faster than a horse, I don't mind letting you follow."
When the three battalion commanders heard this, they immediately fell silent. No matter how fast they ran on two legs, they couldn't compare to the four legs of the cavalry.
Now, no matter how unconvinced the three of them are, there is nothing they can do.
"But don't feel too uncomfortable. It won't be long before the little devils come to your door. Then you will have a chance to show off." Ding Wei said, "Don't embarrass me then!"
"Yes!" the three battalion commanders said in unison.
Although you can't fight the Japanese near the railway, it is better than no war at all.
28th Regiment Base Area.
All the soldiers in the regiment have already taken up their positions and entered the fighting position, always ready to block the enemy.
On the plain outside the village, thousands of cavalry brigade have also gathered here.
The cavalry lined up neatly and waited for Ding Wei to be on standby.
Ding Wei rode a horse on his crotch, carrying a Type 97 sniper rifle, and arrived in front of the cavalry soldiers in a hurry.
Wherever he looked, the soldiers were extremely energetic and full of fighting spirit. They were all gearing up and eager to mount their horses and fight the Japanese to the death.
"Comrades, I won't say any more nonsense. There are traitors in our base area, and the little devils may come at some point.
I think you have been waiting for this day for a long time. Yes, the cavalry brigade has indeed been training during this time and rarely participated in any missions.
But now, your opportunity has come to make a contribution. This time I will take you to the front line and tell me whether you are afraid of death!"
"Don't be afraid!" Thousands of cavalrymen from the cavalry brigade roared in unison.
"Well said, remember what you said, grab the guy in your hands and chop it off on the heads of those Japanese bastards!" Ding Wei shouted sternly.
He pulled out the saber from his waist and drew a swipe in the air. A sound of breaking through the air immediately sounded, and he shouted at the top of his lungs: "We meet on a narrow road."
"The brave will win!" Thousands of cavalry roared in unison, and the shouts surrounded the base area and could not dissipate for a long time.
"Cavalry Brigade, attack!" Ding Wei raised his saber high.
