It was the little devils who secretly transferred their troops, transported them to some forward strongholds at night, and then launched a sudden, fast, and violent encirclement and attack at a certain destination without any warning.
Unfortunately, Yoshio Shinozuka's surprise attack on Dafengzhuang lacked the flavor of a "surprise attack".
The Eighth Route Army had been waiting in the Dafengzhuang area early in the morning. Can this be considered a surprise attack?
Dafengzhuang.
It's three o'clock sharp in the morning.
If it were a normal day, everything would have been completely silent, and there would be no sound everywhere.
At this time, there were still constant noises coming from various parts of the village, one after another. This lively scene, even compared to when the conference just started, has not faded much.
Set up a stage and sing a big show!
I came to the Eighth Route Army base area and saw with my own eyes how the Eighth Route Army treated the people like family members.
The people who had completely settled down were filled with inner gratitude and excitement. Even late at night, they were not sleepy at all. They were still enjoying the performances by the Eighth Route Army's literary and art department with the theme of anti-Japanese and patriotism.
drama.
The people watched it with gusto.
Around Dafengzhuang, Shen Quan, the leader of the Third Independent Regiment at a checkpoint somewhere, looked at his watch with the help of moonlight, and directly issued the order according to Kong Jie's plan:
"The plan to transfer the people will begin immediately!"
"Yes!"
The cadres each led their teams to make preparations.
After the regional commendation meeting in Dafengzhuangqiancun, a stage was set up and a big show was performed.
After a play was sung, the cadres who came according to Shen Quan's order walked onto the stage and asked with a smile:
"Folks, is this show good to watch or not?"
The response was naturally a round of applause.
The cadre changed the topic and said loudly: "That's it, the play we performed in Dafengzhuang will be here for the time being. Our group leader said, please change the place and watch a real big play again!"<
/p>
People who can't help but be curious should stop asking: "Comrade, what's the big show?"
The cadre smiled and said: "Of course it is a big drama about our Eighth Route Army soldiers resisting the Japanese and fighting the Japanese. Folks, please follow our soldiers and move here!"
The common people are very cooperative. After what they have seen and heard in the past few days, everyone subconsciously chooses to believe in the Eighth Route Army troops and the comrades wearing the Eighth Route Army uniforms.
Under the guidance of the soldiers of the Independent Regiment, all parties began to transfer.
But the sounds of drama on various stages did not stop.
When the people were evacuating, they could even faintly hear the sound of opera singing coming from the stage area of Dafengzhuang.
……
On the left side of Ofenzhuang, at the foot of Niushou Mountain.
Liu Zhenguo, commander of the first battalion of the New Regiment, under the order of regiment commander Ding Wei, personally led the direct driving combat troops of the New Regiment and lurked here temporarily.
Looking at the past with the help of moonlight, this team of nearly 200 people has about 150 modified bicycles of various types.
Some have two wheels, and some have three wheels.
Some have a single wheel as the front wheel, and some have two wheels as the front wheel.
On the modified bicycle carriages, some mounted light machine guns, some even mounted heavy machine guns, and some small-caliber artillery pieces.
Some more conventional single-person two-wheeled bicycles are also equipped with some clip sleeves. When traveling, the rifle can be stored sideways against the bars without affecting the riding of the bicycle at all.
This is a new group of direct driving combat troops that Ding Wei spent more than half a year specially building.
Compared with conventional infantry units, this vehicle combat unit naturally has great advantages.
One is that wheels run faster than legs. Using the mobility of bicycles, straight-moving combat troops can move and transfer quickly.
On the other hand, the load capacity of these captured and modified military bicycles is not bad, and there is no problem at all loading something weighing one to two hundred kilograms.
Even heavy machine guns can be pulled up and run, which can greatly save the physical energy consumption of soldiers carrying guns and cannons, and increase the team's transportation capacity.
In addition, compared with tank troops and cavalry troops, bicycles basically require no cost to maintain.
This bicycle does not need to feed the horse like a cavalry, nor does it consume fuel at a terrifying speed like a tank.
Occasionally something goes wrong, and it’s extremely easy to repair.
In addition, bicycles are small in size, flexible and convenient, and bicycles can basically walk on the same path that people walk on.
It’s when you meet a Taoist riding a bicycle, and when you meet someone riding a mountain bike.
It was because of these advantages of bicycles that Ding Wei decided to build a straight-bike combat unit.
In the words of Ding Wei:
"Our Eighth Route Army troops are good at interspersed and roundabout operations, and good at mobile operations, but relying on two feet, whether it is interspersed or roundabout, the mobility is always much worse."
"If conditions permit, these bicycles will be our best choice."
"Get on the car and ride, get off the car and fight. This is equivalent to a cavalry unit in disguise. It is more concealed and can greatly save the logistics consumption of the army. It is much more cost-effective than raising a cavalry force." p>
…It’s already about 3:20 in the morning.
After checking the time, Sun Zhenguo put down his arm and said to the company commanders on the left and right: "According to the news from Commander Kong, at three o'clock in the morning, the people in the Dafengzhuang area should have been transferred.
With the efficiency of the independent group, the people in the entire Dafengzhuang and surrounding areas should have been transferred by now."
"Tell comrades, cheer up. In three hours at most, the battle that everyone has been waiting for is about to begin."
Excitement appeared on the face of a company commander: "Battalion Commander, that's great. Since our direct vehicle team was formed, we haven't been on the battlefield in a real sense. This time we have to show our faces!" p>
Sun Zhenguo smiled and said: "Showing your face is for sure.
This time Dafengzhuang set up an ambush for the second time, and there were quite a few spectators.
In addition to tens of thousands of fellow villagers, including brigade commanders and heads of various regiments, they are all waiting at the temporary headquarters ahead to watch the show!
If we succeed, our regimental commander will be at the temporary headquarters, and his face will be bright, right?"
……
Dafengzhuang right wing.

On an open grassland outside Daliugou.
He Dayong, commander of the tank company of the New Second Regiment, led the soldiers of the tank company on standby.
The entire tank force, three tanks and four armored vehicles, were scattered around, like dead ghosts displayed in the dark night. Although they were motionless, they vaguely created a particularly dignified atmosphere.
"Company Commander, it's almost four o'clock in the morning!"
The second platoon leader lowered his voice and said, although the possibility of enemies appearing here is slim.
He Dayong nodded and licked his lips that were a little chapped from not drinking water for a long time.
"Tell comrades to wait patiently for another two hours. Once the Japanese fall into the trap and the command arrives, we will launch an attack immediately!"
Speaking of this, He Dayong also said something encouraging:
"This time, everyone is paying attention, even the leaders from the headquarters are here. This is the best stage for our tank company to show off its power."
"Let me make it clear to my comrades that at this critical moment, on the battlefield, no one will cause any trouble for me!"
"Yes!"
……
……
The ambush troops from all sides in the front are ready to attack.
The straight-moving troops on the left and the tank company on the right.
There are also independent regiments in the central part of the country, and combat troops from all parties, including local troops and militia troops assisting in this operation, will not be mentioned for the time being.
The heavyweight spectators at the back are eagerly waiting.
Qingshan Village Qiancun.
This place was set up by Kong Jie as the frontline temporary headquarters for watching the battle.
The temporary command post is surrounded by tight security and is in a concealed location. In addition, it is a suitable distance from the Dafengzhuang combat area and has developed transportation lines, which can ensure that the battle situation of Dafengzhuang is transmitted to the command post as soon as possible.
At this time, as a temporary command post, the spacious command post connected by several rooms was brightly lit.
In order to create a special command post for watching the battle, Commander Kong had a generator brought in in advance, and wires and incandescent lights were connected. Even at night, the room was still bright.
The topography of Niukou Village and the surrounding areas, as well as the deployment of troops, were all presented on the military simulation sand table in front of the generals.
The brigade commander stands in the center, with the political commissar on the left and the chief of staff on the right.
Looking to both sides, Kong Jie, Ding Wei, Li Yunlong, Commander Xu of the 771st Regiment, Commander Cheng of the 772nd Regiment, Commander Feng of the newly formed Fifth Regiment, and Commander Jiang of the 17th Regiment
Wait.
Basically, all the slightly famous leaders from all major major groups are here.
The brigade commander looked at the time and asked, "Kong Jie, how are the people being transferred?"
Kong Jie replied: "Brigadier, don't worry. Basically all the transfers have been completed. Only some of our troops are left in the Dafengzhuang area, and they can be transferred at any time with the help of the tunnels dug in advance in Dafengzhuang.
