Time flew by quickly, and Xu Dalong's class was quickly finished. At the request of the school, Wei Dayong also led the special operations team members to perform a special operations performance, which also opened the eyes of the faculty and staff.
Xu Dalong's mission was completed and he was ready to return to the Mawushan base area. The school held a banquet to see him and Wei Dayong and others off. The former head of the Chongqing office also came to attend the farewell banquet in person. He asked Xu Dalong not to return to the Mawushan base area for the time being.
He organized and commanded an actual battle. This battle was to be watched live by the school's teachers and students according to the teaching procedures, in order to increase their intuitive impression.
Of course, the school wanted this very much, and decided to lead the team with the deputy director of education, and send people from each teaching and research office to participate. In addition to the students who were about to graduate, students who had already studied at the school for one year also participated in this practical teaching.
In order to save time, superiors attached great importance to it and dispatched a large number of vehicles from various government agencies to carry the school's faculty, staff and students to the direction of Yuci.
During the march, the students were both excited and nervous. They kept singing anti-war songs on the road, releasing their youthful vitality.
Xu Dalong was sitting in a car, listening to the cheerful songs of the students, and recalling his past campus life. At that time, he was simple and happy, but now he inexplicably came to this battlefield with heavy artillery fire. He felt as if
The feeling of dream.
After a long march, the trainees arrived at Songjiazhuang, Yuzhong County. The local garrison was the Third Border Guard Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Further ahead was the Japanese defense zone.
I heard that the students from the school were going to the front line for internship. The regiment leader, Commissioner Zheng and the chief of staff were all waiting at the entrance of the regiment department to greet them. After a brief greeting, the deputy education chief, staff officer Gao, Xu Dalong and others came to the regiment meeting room together.
.
Staff Officer Gao introduced the actual combat drill activities organized by the school and introduced the identity of Xu Dalong.
The leader, Song Wan, is in his early 30s. He is tall and burly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a clean shaven beard. He looks very powerful. Commissioner Zheng Li Ming is 28 years old, of medium build, and his appearance and temperament are somewhat similar to Zhao Gang. Chief of Staff Xu Donglai
They are tall and thin, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and have a somewhat bookish air. All three of them are graduates of Zheng University in the Anti-Japanese War, and they expressed strong support for this event organized by their alma mater.
Xu Dalong was not unfamiliar to them either. All the commanders and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army had heard of Xu Dalong's deeds. His photos had been published countless times in newspapers. They originally respected him very much in their hearts, but when they saw that Xu Dalong was older than them
When I was young, I couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied. I always felt that Xu Dalong's previous amazing achievements were exaggerated. Now that I saw him, I couldn't help but feel a desire to win and test myself.
It was 9:30 in the morning, and Staff Officer Gao directly asked the three commanders in the regiment to introduce the situation on the front line to Xu Dalong and others.
The Third Regiment has been stationed here all year round, so it is very familiar with the situation in this area. They have formulated a sand table for the combat area, and Chief of Staff Xu reported on the situation of both the enemy and ourselves based on the sand table.
The regiment has a team directly under the regiment headquarters and four infantry battalions, with a total strength of 2,120. It has six mortars, three Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns, 16 light machine guns, and a small number of Type 38 rifles. The officers and soldiers are mainly equipped with
The Jin-made imitation Type 79 rifles have an average of more than fifty rounds per person, and some reloaded bullets in some base areas have an average of about twenty rounds per person. The average number of hand grenades per person is 14. Three battalions are deployed at the front, and one battalion is deployed at the front.
Stationed near the regiment headquarters as a reserve force.
Chief of Staff Xu introduced the situation of his regiment in detail. The Deputy Chief of Education, Director Li of the Tactical Teaching and Research Office, Chief of Staff Gao and Xu Dalong all expressed satisfaction.
The enemy on the opposite side is a Japanese infantry squadron, plus a company of puppet troops, stationed in two strongholds 3 kilometers apart. This area is a hilly area, and the two strongholds are located on important traffic roads. 25
Kilometers away is Yuzhong County, where an infantry brigade of the Japanese army is stationed. Including this infantry squadron in the forward position, there is also a battalion headquarters and two companies of the puppet army.
The terrain in that area is relatively gentle, and there is a road leading directly to the hilly area in front. The Japanese army can reinforce it very quickly. It can be reached in 40 minutes by vehicle and only takes two hours on foot.
The enemy's situation introduced by the chief of staff sounded very detailed and well-organized. Both Commander Song and Commissioner Li Zheng were very satisfied.
The Deputy Director of Education and Director Li of the Teaching and Research Office also felt that the students they taught were excellent, their faces were bright and their eyes showed approval.
Staff Officer Gao said nothing and looked at Xu Dalong. Everyone also looked at him when they saw this. Especially the three commanders of the Third Regiment also wanted to see what Xu Dalong thought.
Xu Dalong has a high emotional intelligence, and of course he knows what everyone expects. He smiled, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Very good, you know the situation between the enemy and us very well. You are indeed an outstanding student trained in the university."
After listening, everyone had smiles on their faces. The three commanders of the third regiment also had proud expressions on their faces.
Xu Dalong asked: "How long has this Japanese infantry brigade been stationed in this area?"
The group leader said: "It's been almost two years."
Wei Dayong immediately frowned after hearing this.
Xu Dalong asked: "How is the fighting situation between the two of you?"
Commander Song said: "The enemy and we have always been in a state of confrontation. There have been several battles, but the scale was not very large. Mainly because our regiment was well prepared and the Japanese did not dare to take a step further. Our regiment successfully completed the task of defending the base area.
Task."
Xu Dalong asked: "How did the battle happen? Did you take the initiative to attack the Japanese army, or was the Japanese army the first to attack?"
Chief of Staff Xu said: "Our regiment is responsible for the garrison task of the base area, focusing on defense. The Japanese army initiated the battle first, but every time they attacked, we resolutely fought back."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xu Dalong couldn’t help but frown after hearing this. He pointed at the sand table and said: “These two strongholds of the Japanese and puppet troops control the traffic arteries in the hilly areas ahead.
It can attack, retreat or defend, occupying an active position in terms of terrain.
Your regiment's defense area is set up in the plains, and the Japanese and puppet troops can attack you at any time. If you can capture these two enemy strongholds and deploy defensive positions there, your regiment will take the initiative geographically.
You can launch an attack on the Japanese and puppet troops at any time, so you don’t have to be constantly on guard against attacks by the Japanese and puppet troops.”
Hearing this, everyone realized that there was a problem. Both the deputy education director and Director Li cast dissatisfied looks at the three regiment commanders, who were a little embarrassed.
Li Zhengwei said: "The two strongholds of the Japanese army occupy favorable terrain. They dug blockade ditches and laid barbed wire in front. They are condescending and can use firepower to block the road of our army's attack at any time. It is very difficult to capture the strongholds.
.
The most important thing is that after the battle starts, the Japanese and puppet troops in Yuzhong City can come for reinforcements at any time, so..."
Xu Dalong asked: "What is the name of the commander of the Japanese army? How many people are there in the gendarmerie? How many people are there in the pseudo-police? How many cars are there in the city? Is there an intelligence station for your regiment?"
"This,..." The three commanders in the regiment were confused by Xu Dalong's question.
Chief of Staff Xu said bravely: "The commanders of the Japanese army have been rotated. It is difficult to keep track of the vehicles coming and going in the city. The underground party is responsible for setting up the intelligence station. It is not convenient for us to do it on our own."
When Xu Dalong heard this, he didn't know how to ask further questions. Their so-called understanding of the situation between the enemy and ourselves was just superficial, and they fought based on imagination and did not have a proactive attitude. No wonder the strength of one of their regiments was only reduced by the opponent.
An infantry squadron of Japanese troops and a company of puppet troops were blocked in the hilly area. If the third regiment had not been heavily armed, Xu Dalong was certain that their combat effectiveness would not be as good as that of a security regiment in the Mawushan Military Division.
The director of education also heard that there was a problem. He said dissatisfiedly: "The Japanese troops opposite you have been stationed here for almost two years, and you know nothing about them. Have you lost all the knowledge you learned in school?
Right opposite you is Yuzhong City, why don’t you place your own scouts in the city? Do you have to rely on underground party organizations to obtain intelligence on the enemy opposite?"
Director Li also said angrily: "A whole regiment of your troops has been confronting the Japanese and puppet troops here for two years, but they have never taken the initiative to launch an offensive operation. They can only passively defend against the Japanese and puppet forces. How can you fight like this?"
?”
The three regiment leaders all felt a little aggrieved. Commissioner Zheng bit the bullet and said: "We received instructions from our superiors to garrison where we are. As long as we can block the enemy's attack, the mission will be completed."
Hearing this, the deputy education director became a little angry.
He said: "You are on the edge of the base area. Fighting the Japanese aggressors, annihilating the enemy, strengthening yourself, and expanding the base area are all what you should do. You have an entire regiment of troops under your control. For two years, there is not even the slightest improvement.
Progress. Do you know? With only less than 100 people, Xu Dalong and others dared to stay away from the base area and go deep behind enemy lines to carry out guerrilla warfare. In two years, they have expanded hundreds or thousands of times, creating a network that includes dozens of counties.
The vast anti-Japanese base area. You still have the nerve to say such things. With students like you, I really have no place to put my face."
The three commanders were disgraced by the training. They also felt that compared with Xu Dalong and others, the gap was indeed too big. Commissioner Zheng took the lead in conducting a review and said that they would actively fight against the Japanese and puppet troops in the future and show their respect to the Japanese and puppet troops.
Comrade Xu Dalong studied.
The director of education said: "This time our school is going to conduct a practical exercise, we will ask Comrade Xu Dalong to command this operation. You must learn from him humbly."
Captain Song said: "Yes, we will definitely learn from Comrade Xu Dalong with an open mind."
Even though he said this, everyone could hear that there was still a bit of dissatisfaction in his words.
Staff Officer Gao felt that these words were meaningless and would affect unity.
He said: "Regiment Commander, Commissioner Zheng, and Chief of Staff, I have received instructions from my superiors to convey orders to your department to cooperate with the school's actual combat drill. Comrade Xu Dalong is responsible for the specific combat command, and your department must obey his orders."
"
The three commanders of the regiment also really wanted to see how Xu Dalong commanded the battle. They stood at attention together and said: "Yes, obey the order resolutely."
To win the war, knowing your enemy and yourself is the most basic requirement. Accompanied by three regiment commanders, Xu Dalong first visited the troops. The commanders and fighters in the regiment heard that the famous anti-Japanese hero Xu Dalong would personally command them to fight, one by one
Gearing up, morale is extremely high.
The next step was to understand the enemy's situation. Xu Dalong personally took Monk Wei and the squad of special forces members they brought with him, disguised as Japanese troops, and went deep into the enemy's rear to conduct reconnaissance.
Xu Dalong and others surveyed the terrain, infiltrated into the county, learned about the real deployment of the Japanese and puppet troops, and took stock of the number of cars in the county. Of course, some cars could not be seen, so they added to the number that had been found.
Some quantities. Yuzhong County is relatively small, so there is not much difference in the number of cars they found.
Not only that, they also received important information. The strength of the Japanese troops in Yuzhong City was not as introduced by the regiment chief of staff. One of the two infantry squadrons in the county had been transferred out of the county a month ago.
The puppet troops of that company have also been sent to other places. Therefore, the strength of the Japanese puppet troops in the city is quite empty.
Xu Dalong and others returned to Songjiazhuang and introduced what they learned to the deputy education director, Director Li, Staff Officer Gao and the three commanders of the regiment. Everyone admired Xu Dalong's serious and responsible attitude. Especially the regiment.
The three commanders were very ashamed. They knew nothing about the change in the enemy's situation.
The deputy director of education has rich teaching experience. In order to deepen the impression of the students, he gathered all the students and asked Xu Dalong to explain the relevant situation of their reconnaissance of the enemy. The students not only learned how to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, but also the relevant experience of the terrain.
, and also learned this serious and responsible attitude. The next step is to formulate a battle plan.
Xu Dalong had experienced hundreds of battles, and he was too relaxed for such a battle. He directly handed over the formulation of the battle plan to Wei Dayong, and proposed that the next battle be given full command by Wei Dayong.
To be honest, there is no need for a famous general like Wei Dayong to command such a battle. Even Zhu Guangzhao or even one of the squad leaders below would be fine. It’s just that considering that Zhu Guangzhao is at a lower level and is in the third regiment’s troops
It didn't have that much prestige among them, so it was finally decided that Wei Dayong would be in charge.
As the captain of the world-famous special operations brigade, Wei Dayong has a high prestige, and the cadres and soldiers of the regiment are also full of confidence in his command.
According to the battle plan formulated by Wei Dayong, the first battalion of the regiment carried out a feint attack on two Japanese strongholds in the hilly area opposite, attracting Japanese and puppet troops in the city to come for reinforcements. The chief of staff of the third regiment was responsible for the command. I like to show my sword.
