In the headquarters of the Lunan Guerrilla Detachment, Commander Peng Mingzhi was knitting straw sandals on the bench when political commissar Wu Faxian suddenly walked in in a hurry and waved: "Lao Peng, the Baoshan Brigade has responded."
Peng Mingzhi said without even raising his head: "What do you think, Yue Weihan?"
"I don't have the same knowledge as you, so I agreed." Wu Faxian shook his head and said, "In addition, the battle plan has been drawn up. Tomorrow morning, the Baoshan Brigade will concentrate its main force to attack Zaozhuang County in order to mobilize Tengxian, Taierzhuang and
The Japs from Linyi and other directions will come for reinforcements, and we will choose one of them to ambush!"
"Attack Zaozhuang!?" Peng Mingzhi's eyes suddenly widened, "He defeated the general with more than 500 remaining soldiers?"
"What the hell kind of bullshit plan is this?" before Wu Faxian could answer, Peng Mingzhi said angrily, "Although the Japs in Zaozhuang County only have two squadrons, the puppet army has one regiment and Liu Mazi's plainclothes team.
There are at least three to five thousand troops. How dare the defeated generals of the Baoshan Brigade's five hundred or so remaining troops dare to attack Zaozhuang? We can't wade into this muddy water!"
Wu Xixian straightened his face and said solemnly: "Lao Peng, don't say that. After all, we are all Chinese, and it is our duty to fight the Japanese, right? Even if we don't help others, we still have to fight the Japanese, right?"
Therefore, no matter what the outcome of the Baoshan Brigade's attack on Zaozhuang County, we will still fight against the Japanese reinforcements."
Peng Mingzhi squatted on the pit with a dry pipe in his mouth and said no more.
Wu Faxian said: "Since you agree, let's discuss the battle plan in detail."
"Report!" Wu Xixian finished his words when the security guard suddenly came in and reported, "Political commissar, someone from the prefectural committee is here."
"I almost forgot about this." Wu Xixian slapped his forehead, quickly stood up from the pit and said, "Invite them in quickly."
Soon, the guard led two young men, a man and a woman, in. Both of them were wearing the gray cloth uniforms of the Eighth Route Army. The man was heroic and the woman was heroic. They saluted Wu Faxian and Peng Mingzhi successively.
The young man in front said: "Report to Commander Peng, report to Political Commissar Wu, Cao Xiuwen, and Tang Shaoyi to report, please give instructions."
Peng Mingzhi frowned impatiently, put his hands behind his back and left: "Political Commissar, I'm going to go outside for a walk."
The new male and female special commissioners looked at each other, and Wu Faxian quickly smiled and said: "Xiao Cao, Xiao Tang, don't mind, Lao Peng has this temper. It will be easier to get along with him once we get to know him better."
"Political Commissar, it's okay." Tang Shaoyi, the eighth female soldier, showed her dimples when she smiled, which was quite cute.
Cao Xiuwen, from the eighth male route, suddenly asked: "Political Commissar, I see the troops are gathering. Are we going to fight?"
"Yes." Wu Faxian nodded and said, "The troops have combat missions and will set off soon."
Cao Xiuwen and Tang Shaoyi immediately became excited after hearing this and said: "Political Commissar, let us also participate in the battle."
"You guys..." Wu Faxian thought for a while, nodded in agreement, "Okay, but you must pay attention to safety."
…
Lunan, a certain mountain pass.
A puma bandit suddenly burst out of the woods and rushed into the mountain pass like a lightning bolt.
This group of horse bandits all wore "pancake" hoods on their heads, and they were clearly the Yanzi Army that was rampaging in southern Shandong.
Suddenly, a shrinking bandit emerged from the cliff on the right side of the mountain pass. He immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "The big boss is back, the big boss is back..."
After crossing the mountain pass, you are facing a hidden mountain village.
The gate of the stockade slowly opened, and a large group of bandits, like stars over the moon, escorted a young man in a student uniform out of the stockade. Amidst the loud neighing of horses, the bandits who rushed into the mountain pass had already arrived.
At the entrance of the village, they immediately stopped their momentum, got off their horses, and faced the young man.
The leader of the horse bandits who was walking at the front took off the "yibing" hood and threw it to the young man who came forward. He then punched the young man who came forward hard on the shoulder.
He smiled and said: "Master, you are so fucking amazing. How do you know which road and which point the Japanese have attacked?"
"That's right," the master exclaimed, "Zhuge Liang can know the affairs of the world without leaving home!"
"Master, you are fucking better than Zhuge Liang." The bandit leader laughed and said, "You are my Liangshan military advisor!"
"Whether it's Zhuge Liang or Liangshan's military advisor, they actually rely on knowledge." The master pointed to his head and said to the bandit leader, "Master, you should really learn to read and read when you have time. If
If you can finish reading the box of books that Seventh Sister bought from the county town, especially those sets of logical reasoning, you will be able to master them."
"Definitely." The leader of the horse bandits said quickly, "It is enough for our Yanzi Army to have you as a master."
"Baby face, the special battery you want." Just as he was talking, a slim female horse bandit walked up with her waist twisted, first threw a bag to the master, and then took off her head.
With the "seven cakes" hood, all of a sudden, the black hair on her head was pouring down like a waterfall, and the hair was hidden in it, but she was a beautiful woman who could be both angry and happy.
"Thank you, Seventh Sister." The master took the bag and said to the bandit leader, "The boss has a big profit!"
"Dali City?" The horse bandit leader immediately became energetic and said, "Master, tell me quickly, which direction is it?"
"Zaozhuang!" The master said solemnly, "the national army is going to attack Zaozhuang, and the Lunan guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army will fight together! Of course, their real purpose is to lure out the Japanese from Teng County, Taierzhuang and Linyi, and then in
Ambush them on the way, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, our Yanzi Army must not miss this event!"
"Attacking Zaozhuang?" the bandit leader frowned, "Master, will the Japanese attack?"
"Definitely," the master said flatly, "because those who attacked Zaozhuang were not ordinary national troops, but the Baoshan Brigade!"
"Baoshan Brigade?" The leader of the horse bandits scratched his head and said, "This name sounds familiar. Have you ever dealt with us?"
"This is impossible." Master shook his head decisively, "But you should know it when you mention the head of Sihang Warehouse!"
"Yes, Sihang Warehouse!" the leader of the horse bandits suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "I remembered, it was the Baoshan Battalion that guarded the Sihang Warehouse, right? Now it has become the Baoshan Brigade?"
"It happened half a year ago." Master said, "As the boss, I also want to participate in this operation."
"Just you!?" Without waiting for the horse bandit leader to reply, the female horse bandit next to him stepped forward and gently picked up the master's chin with a riding crop, and said with disdain, "You little pretty boy, stay in the village to figure things out and tinker.
It's okay to tinker with your radio station, but if you really want to go out and wield swords and guns, I'm really afraid of scaring you."
The master pushed away the riding whip with some displeasure and said: "Seventh Sister, I have to go this time!"
"Sure!" the leader of the horse bandits finally said, "Master has been in the gang for a few days and has made a lot of contributions to our Yanzi Army. It's time to take him out to see the world."
The master said again: "Master, which Japanese are you planning to ambush?"
The leader of the horse bandits said without hesitation: "Heifengkou, let's ambush the Japanese in the direction of Teng County!"
…
Baodugu, Huanglong Cave.
Peng Mingzhi murmured in a low voice: "Political Commissar, who are the people given by the superiors, just two students?"
"Lao Peng, don't underestimate them." Wu Faxian said earnestly, "They have just stepped out of school, but as long as you give them some time, they will grow into outstanding revolutionary fighters."
"Come on." Peng Mingzhi rolled his eyes and said, "You can't even use a gun, but you are still a soldier?"
Wu Faxian shook his head and changed the subject: "Lao Peng, have you thought about which Japanese army to ambush?"
"Don't think about it." Peng Mingzhi said, "I have already predicted that there is no suitable ambush terrain in the direction of Taierzhuang and Linyi. Only the road from Teng County to Zaozhuang passes through Heifengkou. The terrain of Heifengkou is dangerous, with high mountains and dense forests.
It’s not a problem to ambush tens of thousands of troops, so we will fight the Japanese ambush outside the Black Wind Pass.”
After saying this, Peng Mingzhi said again: "But, can the Baoshan Brigade really lure out the little Japs from Teng County?"
"This shouldn't be a problem." Wu Faxian said thoughtfully, "Although Yue Weihan didn't say it clearly, I believe that the Baoshan Brigade's breakout troops will never be just those five or six hundred people. Maybe there are still their troops near Zaozhuang."
"This is the best." Peng Mingzhi said, "Then I will wait and see."
…
Ten miles west of Zaozhuang, there is a straw valley.
After a rapid march in the middle of the night, Yue Weihan finally led his troops to the destination at four or five o'clock in the morning, and successfully merged with the bayonet battalion that had been hidden here for a long time. When Li Yulong led the officers and soldiers of the bayonet battalion to greet him from the valley in a hurry,
When he came out, Yue Weihan was already standing upright like a javelin under the starry sky.
"Tourist seat!" Li Yulong snapped to attention and raised his hand in salute.
"Not bad?" Yue Weihan looked at the dark troops behind Li Yulong and said with a smile, "Looking at this posture, there should be thousands of people in the Bayonet Battalion, right? If you work harder, you can be the leader."
"Yes!" Li Yulong responded loudly, "I promise not to disappoint you."
"You kid..." Yue Weihan smiled and shook his head, then pulled Li Yulong aside and asked solemnly, "How is the situation in the army?"
Of course Li Yulong knew that the brigade commander was asking about the casualties of the original Bayonet Battalion, and he immediately said solemnly: "We were pursued by the Japanese motorized infantry brigade, and the casualties were relatively large, especially the third company and second platoon, almost all of them were killed! In addition, the ammunition reserve
There is less than half of the base left, but as long as we can blow open the city gate, taking Zaozhuang will not be a problem!"
Yue Weihan said: "It's best to stay away from the puppet troops who have just been recruited. Be careful of them rebelling in front of the formation."
"Don't worry, sir, I know what to do." Li Yulong glanced at the team not far away and said with murderous intent, "These turtles, even if they are too brave, they don't dare to rebel!"
Seeing Li Yulong's commanding general demeanor, Yue Weihan suddenly said, "Li Yulong, I officially appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the capture of Zaozhuang. The fourth company and the artillery company are also temporarily organized into the bayonet battalion, under your unified command! But I have something to say first, this
The first attack on Zaozhuang cannot be a sneak attack at night, it must be a strong attack during the day, and Zaozhuang cannot be taken too quickly!"
Li Yulong was stunned for a moment, then straightened up suddenly and said sternly: "Yes!"
