Wei Dayong may seem reckless, but he is very thoughtful, otherwise he would not have been able to seize the fleeting opportunity and escape from the Zhuma Village stronghold alone.
As soon as Huang Yu mentioned the words "prisoner of war status", he frowned.
He had seen too many intrigues in the 27th Division. After he returned, many people would definitely make trouble about his status as a prisoner of war.
Apart from anything else, the position of sergeant squad leader will definitely not be preserved, and he might even be locked up and accepted.
As for fighting the Japanese, Huang Yu simply talked about it from the bottom of his heart.
Serving as a soldier in the 27th Division really doesn't allow you to fight Japanese soldiers as often as the Eighth Route Army.
In an instant, Wei Dayong's eagerness to return to his old army disappeared, and he gradually became confused, not knowing where he would be in the future.
Seeing Huang Yu looking at him expectantly, his eyes lit up and he asked: "Sir, does your Eighth Route Army exclude people who have been prisoners? I will definitely not be able to go back to the 27th Division. If there is really no place to go, I will stay here.
Kill the Japanese single-handedly!"
Huang Yu replied seriously: "Our Eighth Route Army not only does not exclude people who have been prisoners, but we also do not exclude people who have been puppet soldiers!"
"As long as you are sincere in fighting Japanese invaders, have no bad habits, can execute orders after joining the army, and strictly abide by military regulations and disciplines, our Eighth Route Army will welcome you with both hands!"
"I remember correctly. There are hundreds of soldiers from the puppet army in the Independent Regiment. Some of them have outstanding abilities and have become platoon leaders!"
"Brother Wei, you are very skilled. You even served as a sergeant squad leader in the 27th Division!"
"If you really decide to join the independent regiment, I will immediately recommend you to the regiment leader to be the squad leader of the assault platoon!"
"The level of the assault platoon is half a square higher than that of ordinary troops. The squad leader is equivalent to the deputy platoon leader of ordinary troops, which is half a square higher than your level in the 27th Division!"
Wei Dayong did not expect that Huang Yu valued him so much, and immediately replied: "Sir, you think so highly of me, if you don't nod, you would be too ungrateful!"
"I promise to join the Independent Group!"
"Then we will be comrades from now on!" Huang Yu's face suddenly lit up with joy and he said excitedly.
"We Eighth Route Army officers and soldiers are equal. If you don't want to call me commander, just call me platoon leader!"
"The regiment headquarters is just ahead. I will take you to see the regiment commander now and tell him everything you saw and heard about the enemy at the Zhuma Village stronghold."
In the Independent Regiment Headquarters, after listening to Wei Dayong's introduction, Kong Jie's excitement on his face was replaced by seriousness.
He stared at the map for a while before responding: "Finding the Japanese special forces training ground is only the first step. Only by taking down the Zhuma Village stronghold and killing the little Japanese special forces inside can we complete the mission!"
"The headquarters has also found out some information about this matter!"
"The Japanese North China Front Army did form a special force. The leader was Kazuki Yamamoto, a colonel. He learned special tactics from Germany. It was called the Yamamoto Special Forces for short. It was particularly valued by the North China Front Army Headquarters."
"Captain, since there are forty or fifty members of the Yamamoto Special Forces hiding in the Zhuma Village stronghold, why don't we knock down the Zhuma Village stronghold!" Huang Yu said with an eager look on his face, wishing he could lead his troops to kill them now.
Seeing that Kong Jie had not yet made up his mind, Huang Yu continued to encourage: "Brother Wei said that after the Yamamoto special forces entered the Zhuma Village stronghold, they consumed a large amount of bullets for training every day, which means they have stored a large amount of ammunition in the stronghold!"
"If we can capture it, not only will we be able to seize dozens more submachine guns and Mauser pistols, but we will also be able to seize a large number of matching bullets. The problem of lack of bullets for submachine guns will be solved!"
"The Zhumacun stronghold is easy to fight!" Kong Jie shook his head and explained.
"Our independent regiment needs artillery, heavy machine guns and heavy machine guns, and there is no shortage of ammunition. It is not difficult to capture a stronghold with only more than 300 puppet troops!"
"The really hard thing to fight is the Japanese reinforcements!"
"There are dozens of Japanese special forces hidden in the Zhuma Village stronghold. They are all the treasures of the North China Front Army. After being attacked, the Japanese in the surrounding strongholds and the county town will definitely try their best to provide reinforcements!"
"I'm afraid even our independent regiment can't deal with so many Japanese and puppet troops!"
Huang Yu shook his head and retorted: "Captain, I think you underestimate the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment!"
"Our independent regiment has more than 2,000 people. Not to mention sophisticated weapons and sufficient ammunition, we will definitely have the ammunition to fight one or two big battles. We will definitely be able to stop the Japanese reinforcements and capture the Zhuma Village stronghold!"
"If you're lucky, you can take the opportunity to gather reinforcements, kill one or two of the reinforcements, and expand the results!"
"Besides, aren't there the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment around us?"
"If there are Japanese reinforcements passing through their defense area, Commander Li and Commander Ding will definitely send troops to help buy us time to conquer the Zhuma Village stronghold!"
Kong Jie was convinced by Huang Yu, and the worries on his face slowly disappeared.
He punched the table with his fist and ordered with a domineering look on his face: "Then let's fight this battle!"
"I led the first battalion and the artillery company to attack the Zhuma Village stronghold head-on, and strive to end the battle before dawn!"
"The chief of staff will lead the second battalion, the baggage company, and the reconnaissance company to ambush the reinforcements that may be sent from Pingding County!"
"The guard company blocks possible reinforcements from the Donghui stronghold, and the third battalion and seventh company blocks possible reinforcements from the Nanzhuang stronghold..."
"Other troops of the third battalion, the new military camp, defend Yangcun..."
"After the main force sets off, all remaining troops will enter combat mode and strengthen their alert. No enemy will be allowed to cross Yangcun and threaten the security of the headquarters!"
"The Japs in the direction of Yangquan and Niangziguan are handed over to the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment!"
"After the troops dispatched troops, the communications squad immediately set off to report my combat deployment to the brigade headquarters, notify the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment, and ask them to help with reinforcements!"
Huang Yu listened for a long time without hearing the assault platoon's mission, and became anxious on the spot: "Captain, what is our mission?"
"Assault platoon moves freely!" Kong Jie blurted out.
"You are not needed for reinforcements or attacking the Zhuma Village stronghold!"
"You kid will go to the battlefield to look for fighters by yourself, but you must not cause any trouble, and you must control the losses of your troops!"
Huang Yu was confused. He didn't expect that the group leader would give him an order to do whatever he wanted.
But he soon felt relieved.
The assault platoon is the firefighting team of an independent regiment. Although it has strong firepower, its troops are too small. Whether it is attacking the Zhuma Village stronghold or calling for reinforcements, they can only play supporting roles, unable to take advantage of the mobility and firepower advantages of the assault platoon.
In this case, it is better to let the assault platoon play freely and find fighters on their own. Maybe they can create another huge surprise for the troops!
After reacting, he saluted Kong Jie and loudly received his order: "Commander, please rest assured, the assault platoon will definitely not let you down!"
"But I need your approval for one thing before we go!"
"Brother Wei I brought back is from the 27th Division. He spared the sergeant squad leader and is very skilled. He has decided to join the independent regiment and fight the Japanese with us!"
"I want him to serve as half of the squad leader of the assault platoon, and Zhong Chengjun as the deputy platoon leader!"
"You can just decide on a squad leader yourself, no need to ask me!" Kong Jie ordered readily!
