Zhong Chenggong's expression did not change much, and he continued: "Regiment leader, political commissar, this problem has been solved, but the most difficult problem has not yet been solved."
"In order to prevent us from infiltrating, the Japanese defense line was built very tightly. It can be described as one sentry every five steps, and one post every ten steps. However, it is impossible for a large group of troops to pass through the defense line silently. Even a small group of troops, one squad,
, it is very difficult to pass through the defense line quietly!"
"I estimate that in the entire New Regiment, apart from the directly affiliated teams, there really is no other unit that can do this!"
Wang Ping stared at the sand table for five minutes before replying: "It's not impossible!"
"Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, you should know why I am staying here every day lately?"
"Severely inflict heavy damage on the Japanese and puppet troops in Linfen City and complete the mission assigned to our new regiment by the headquarters!" Huang Yuanqiang replied. He couldn't figure out the difference between this mission and a march!
"Not bad!" Wang Ping affirmed.
Then he pulled out a few pieces of intelligence from the table next to him and introduced: "Look, this is how the Japanese and puppet troops on the front line have mobilized and changed their defenses in recent days. In order to gather more troops to attack us, the little Japanese have replaced almost all the Japanese and puppet troops on the defense line with Japanese
Killed the puppet army!"
"Of course, don't underestimate these puppet troops!"
"They are different from those we have encountered before. These puppet troops are all trained by the little devils and are directly commanded. Although their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the real little devils, they still have 50% of the combat effectiveness!"
"Not only that, the Japanese also equipped them with a lot of heavy weapons to strengthen their defensive firepower!"
"But in order to prevent these heavy weapons from falling into our hands, the artillery company, heavy machine gun company, except for the ordinary soldiers are puppet troops, and the officers are all Japanese!"
"The Japs are very smart this time. They control heavy weapons and directly command the troops. This ensures that these puppet troops cannot rebel on the battlefield and surrender directly to us like the puppet troops we encountered before!"
"So that's it!" Political Commissar Huang Yuanqiang suddenly reacted.
Then he replied: "No wonder the little devil has the courage to hand over such an important line of defense to the puppet army..."
"However, what the little devil didn't expect is that these puppet troops are not really monolithic. There are many people from our new regiment hidden inside. With them around, no matter how strong the defense line is, there will be gaps exposed in front of us!"
"I understand, commander, you mean to use our lurking personnel among the puppet troops to try to pass through the defense line quietly and then come back!"
"Not bad!" Wang Ping affirmed.
The Third Regiment of the Imperial Association Army is responsible for a 20-kilometer-long defense line. There is a large stronghold with one regiment stationed at each end of the defense line.
The third regiment is scattered in two medium-sized strongholds and one small stronghold along the 20-kilometer defense line.
The 1st Battalion and 2nd Company were responsible for a small stronghold in the middle of the defense line. Because it was surrounded by hills, there was only a company path that could pass through the defense line, and large troops could not pass by. The Japanese army directly relied on the terrain and built a stronghold on the high ground next to the path to watch from a high position.
For everyone who passes by on the path!
In addition to a company of puppet troops, the stronghold also had a combat team of young Japanese. Plus the four young Japanese in the company, there were a total of twenty Japanese.
What the Japanese Army Cao didn't expect was that company commander Huang Yuan, who had been favored by him since he entered the second company, had a hidden identity besides being the commander of the second company of the third regiment of the Imperial Association Army, that is, the new regiment was deep behind enemy lines.
The captain of the 15th Action Team, the original member of the team directly under the new regiment!
At twelve o'clock in the evening, the deputy suddenly found him: "Company commander, there is an order from my hometown. There will be troops passing by our stronghold tomorrow night. Let us find a way to prevent the little devils from knowing about it, so that no one can notice it!"
"There must be something big going on in my hometown!" Huang Yuan's eyes immediately became hot.
Then he asked: "Are all the medicines we prepared before coming here still there?"
"They're all still here!" the deputy quickly replied.
"Just stay here. I still have two pieces of ocean here. After dawn tomorrow, I will prepare some wine and food, and put the medicine in. I only need a third of it. Tomorrow night, I will drink with the little devils and make sure they sleep
A good night’s sleep and a solid night’s sleep!”
At twelve o'clock in the evening, except for the sound of wind, there was no other sound in Nuoda's stronghold.
In the woods less than a mile away from the stronghold, Wang Ping and more than 2,000 people were lurking here. Everyone was wearing Japanese military uniforms. The same was true for the regiment leader Wang Ping, who was wearing a Japanese Lieutenant Colonel uniform and a military coat.
He held a command knife in his hand.
Guard battalion commander Hong Ruijun still had the excited smile on his face before setting off. When he touched Wang Ping's side, he couldn't help but sigh: "Commander, since the army was equipped with those mules and horses, the soldiers' marching speed and long-distance attack capabilities have improved."
It’s all improved a lot!”
"After a long journey of nearly 20 kilometers from the station to here, the comrades didn't even take a breath and were able to go straight into the battle. This was simply unimaginable before!"
"The reason why we equip the troops with so many mules and horses is for this effect!"
"Let the soldiers be prepared. As soon as the signal is received, the troops must pass through the blockade as quickly as possible... The troops at the rear must clean up the traces of the troops' march!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Song, commander of the third battalion, rushed over from the front.
Because the troops were stationed here to confront the Japanese and puppet troops, no one knew the situation on the defense line better than him.
Therefore, Yan Song and his guard company did their part to become the vanguard of the troops crossing the Japanese blockade!
"Captain, the stronghold has just sent out a signal and the troops can pass safely!" Yan Song reported with excitement on his face when he saw Wang Ping.
"The troops will set off immediately!" Wang Ping ordered decisively.
Inside the stronghold, Company Commander Huang Yuan's face was red, but his mind was very clear.
Because he had taken the antidote in advance, he did not fall into a coma like the Japanese did, but fell asleep on the camp bed.
Under several confidants, the infantry platoon on duty at night were all confidants brought out by Huang Yuan, so there was absolutely no problem.
At this moment, the infantryman excluded an infantry squad to guard the stronghold and looked outside with a serious face. The others were guarding the barracks to prevent anyone from suddenly appearing and seeing the Eighth Route Army troops crossing the defense line outside the stronghold.
"Company commander, the main force is coming!" the deputy next to him reminded.
"There are so many people, at least 2,000. The leader must be doing something big!" Huang Yuan said with a pair of big eyes full of heat.
"But they don't carry heavy weapons... The Japs are building a large number of bunkers and turrets in the occupied areas. What's the problem if they don't return without heavy weapons?" the deputy couldn't help but remind them.
The path next to the stronghold is not even possible for two people to march side by side, and it is also very rugged. Troops with heavy weapons will definitely not be able to march!
Huang Yuan shook his head and replied: "Look carefully! Look carefully!"
"Compared with before, the main force today has changed a lot!"
"Have you seen the mules and horses in the team? Look at what's on the horses' backs?"
"Heavy machine guns... mortars... and there seems to be mountain artillery..." the deputy replied with a pair of big eyes, a shocked expression of disbelief!
