The new regiment, which should have been renamed the 16th regiment, is still the new regiment, the leader is Ding Wei, and the station is still Songshu Village.

"This time the combat range of our regiment is still the dozens of kilometers of our defense zone. You have fought here many times, so where are you most familiar with?" Ding Wei looked at several battalion commanders in the conference room and asked.

That's right, the New First Regiment has been in this area and is now going to launch a raid on the Baijin Highway, of course, Ding Wei and the others are indispensable.

"The most familiar place is of course Laiyuan Town, the watershed of the North Pass in Nanguan! Leader, we are taking action together this time, why don't we have a big deal?" Chen Quanzhong, the second leader of the New First Regiment, stood up and said.

"Okay, we'll make a big deal this time - we'll fight Nanguan and the watershed! But we have to wait until the brothers come over to take action. Where is Yan Zhouping? Take the reconnaissance company out for a walk and touch the strongholds and troops along the way!" Ding Wei said.

"Captain, don't touch me. I just came back yesterday. The Japanese strongholds and troops in our defense zone are all remembered in our minds!" Yan Zhouping said.

"Captain, it's too boring to only two strongholds. Just get a few more?" Chen Quanzhong said.

"Do you think I don't want to do it. This time, our division is dispatched and tens of thousands of people have participated in the battle. We have to give other units some points, right? Haha, it would be great to have two strongholds to fight... When Li Yunlong took you, he made a lot of money here. This time it was our turn..."

"Report..." Before Ding Wei finished speaking, a report came from outside the door.

"Captain, the temporary second regiment has arrived!" The communications soldier said to Ding Wei.

"Temporary editing... the second regiment?" Everyone looked at the question marks, only Ding Wei knew it.

"Go and invite their battalion-level cadres to come for a meeting!" Ding Wei said with a smile.

Soon, Lai Dongxing, Hu Sihai, Zhou Changfa, Guo Dezhu and others entered the conference room. Well, everyone saw each other and knew each other. Isn’t this the team of the Ninth Detachment? What a temporary second regiment, I thought it was a newly established unit.

"Okay, the number is just a cover. Just understand what's going on! We have nine... ahem, the temporary support from the Second Regiment will make this battle smoother. Now, let's arrange the specific combat allocation..." Ding Wei continued the meeting.

As mentioned earlier, although this battle is not as good as the later Hundred Regiments Battle, it has a great strategic significance. Starting this year, the Japanese 36th Division has begun to build the Baijin Railway, which has been repeatedly destroyed. Now it has been built in Qin County.

The Japanese plan was to build the entire journey from Baigui Town, Qi County along the Baijin Highway to Jincheng. The entire journey was more than 300 kilometers. Once it was repaired, it would directly divide the Taihang and Taiyue Military Regions into physical division. Can this make him succeed?

Therefore, the division commanders and others were determined to launch the Bai-Jin Railway. Their deployment was to use the division's special forces regiment and some local armed forces to break the Dongguan Zhilin section; use the 385th Brigade, the main force of the Pinghan Column and the Shanxi-Hebei-Hebei Border Column, the 1st and 3rd Regiments to break the Laiyuan section and attack the Nanguan Town; use the 386th Brigade and the 1st Column to break the Quandian section and Liucun section.

Of course, this is a historical combat plan. Now, for some reason, the new regiment of the 386th Brigade, coupled with the headquarters of the Ninth Detachment who came to help, was assigned to the most difficult bone - the Nanguan Stronghold.

Cough, okay, the difficulty base has been beaten once or twice, but this is still a key unit of the Japanese. Why? After the 36th Division of the Japanese took over the defense, they brought in a lot of construction materials and repaired the difficulty base again.

Well, there are no more or less. There are 8 steel-concrete machine gun bunkers built, and then there is a cannon tower with reinforced walls standing on the mountain on the side of Nanguan. At the foot of the mountain is a station for the Japanese, and the station is the Japanese road transport team.

In Nanguan, the Japanese arranged a squadron here, and a battalion of the puppet army here, with more than 1,000 puppet troops.

There is a watershed south of Nanguan, and its mission has been completed here, so there are not many Japanese defenders here, only one team responsible for maintaining the safety of this section of railway. Well, there is a company here for the puppet army.

"So, this time we not only have to destroy these two strongholds, but also take away the railways here! The grenade launchers and rifles we use are all counting on these railway tracks to go back as materials! Let me tell you, the stronghold is to carry it. After the stronghold is finished, let's demolish the railways quickly!"

"Did you see the guys in their hands? That's what I prepared to demolish the railway! So... act!"

"Set off!"

On the 5th, early in the morning, after a pre-war speech, the team of the New First Regiment, with the cooperation of the temporary second Regiment, went from Songshu Village, along the river valley, towards the watershed and the Nanguan stronghold. In this operation, the Eighth Route Army did not pay attention to any secret marches, but directly advanced towards the Baijin Railway.

Well, there are such Eighth Route Army teams moving in the entire northern section of the Baijin Railway. The Eighth Route Army carried weapons and ammunition, supplies, and digging railway tools. They blatantly marched, which made the people along the way see: What is the Eighth Route Army doing? Go and fight the Japanese?

"Is the brigade commander? It's me, the brigade commander... Why is there no other thing about our independent regiment when fighting the Baijin Railway this time? Brigade commander, you can't favor one or the other!" Li Yunlong, the independent regiment headquarters, held a telephone number and asked for a fight there.

"Haha, Li Yunlong, you ask for a fight, right? I haven't congratulated you on getting rich yet! I heard that you have created a cavalry battalion? Is this happening?" The brigade elder said on the phone. Well, the brigade commander is so familiar with his old subordinates...

"That dog days report..."

"I tell you Li Yunlong, no one reports, just your actions, do you think you can escape my eyes? You have learned a good job recently, and you have even learned idioms. Should you learn to settle accounts? Come on, let's calculate how to divide the cavalry equipment of this battalion..."

There is still Yaotou Village between Nanguan and the watershed. At this time, the Second Militia Brigade was waiting here with the 3rd Battalion of the New First Regiment. As for the independent mixed 1st Battalion, it followed the 1st Battalion of the New First Regiment and the 2nd Battalion to the Nanguan. As for the watershed, it was the 5th Battalion of the New First Regiment.

"Comrades, act! Our mission this time is to demolish the railway and start the battle!" Guo Dezhu, as the captain of the Second Brigade, personally led his people down to the railway and started working with 1,000 militias. That's right, no matter how the militia brigade fought, he would demolish the railway first.

More than 1,000 people occupied a full kilometer of road and moved together. The comrades from the 3rd Battalion of the New First Regiment who accompanied him were responsible for protecting the road with weapons.

"Wuwuwu..." After just taking action, the railway tracks were removed, and the sound of a train came from the north.

"What's going on? There are trains? Comrades, put down your tools, pick up your weapons, and prepare for battle!" Guo Dezhu made a quick decision and hid on the hillside on the west side of the railway with his militia brigade.

Well, only one company was sent to the 3rd Battalion of the New First Regiment, and the remaining two companies went to the east mountain.
Chapter completed!
