Fangshan Town is located in the west of Shanxi Province and in the middle of Luliang Mountain. In the seventh year of the Republic of China, Fangshan Town was changed to Fangshan County.
Due to frequent wars and unstable domestic situation, Fangshan Town did not change much after it was renamed Fangshan County, so the locals still call it Fangshan Town. The population of Fangshan Town is not large, so it is not
When the number of households reached 1,000, the arrival of the Japanese made it difficult for Fangshan Town to maintain its previous peace, and the population dropped a lot. Since the Japanese army occupied Fangshan in 1937, they have been oppressing the people of Fangshan.
After Zhang Dabiao sent the scouts to Fangshan Town, he patiently waited for the scouts' reply. Judging from the situation in Fangshan Town, the scouts sent should not be in too much danger.
After borrowing half of the pickaxes from the artillery company, Zhang Dabiao led a battalion of soldiers to reclaim wasteland. He also knew that the reclamation of wasteland should not affect the soldiers' daily training. From Liu Gen, Zhang Dabiao knew that the artillery company
Arrangements were made, and the soldiers were rotated to be as fair and just as possible.
Zhang Dabiao naturally knew this. When he asked the soldiers to reclaim wasteland, he also rotated them, so that the soldiers had no complaints. Many of the soldiers were full of expectations. The reclaimed wasteland would be planted with food.
In the end, they will definitely gain a lot, and by then, their daily meals will be better.
After being reprimanded by the new commander Ding Wei, the second and third battalion commanders turned their attention to the first battalion, striving to make their battalion's soldiers comparable to the first battalion. After knowing that the first battalion commander
After the battalion reclaimed the wasteland, the second and third battalion commanders did not fall behind. They found some tools and let the soldiers use their free time to reclaim the wasteland.
At the same time, after these two days, the New Regiment also specially assigned some soldiers to help the old people in the village reclaim wasteland. These selected soldiers could receive certain rewards. Knowing this, the soldiers signed up very enthusiastically.
, were selected. When helping the old people to reclaim wasteland, the soldiers were also very serious and attentive, which made the old people in the village quite satisfied.
However, there were many elderly people in the village, and two days was not enough. After knowing that the new group of soldiers were going to fight, the old village chief said he could understand. The only thing that worried the old village chief was that he
He was very worried that the soldiers of the New Regiment would not come back. However, after Liu Gen's assurance, the old village chief was relieved. The geographical location of their village was good and it was the most suitable place for the New Regiment to be stationed in this area.
Xinghua Village is the name of this village. Xinghua Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one side open to the outside world. It is quite concealed. This is one of the reasons why Xinyi Tuan was not discovered by the Japanese.
When we go out to Xinghua Village, we are surrounded by hills. Even if the Japanese come, it will be difficult to carry heavy weapons. It will be much easier for the New Regiment to defend. Xinghua Village is less than 30 miles west of Fangshan Town, and the New Regiment
It is still very simple to reach Fangshan Town. I am afraid that the Japanese would not have thought that the New Regiment was right under their noses. It was Li Yunlong who was brave enough to place the New Regiment in Xinghua Village.
"Genzi, are you interested in going to Fangshan Town with me?" On Sunday, Liu Gen led the soldiers of the artillery company for training, and Zhang Dabiao came to the artillery company.
Liu Gen looked at Zhang Dabiao in surprise, "Brother Zhang, are you going to Fangshan Town? What about that battalion?"
Yesterday, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company who went to Fangshan Town returned to the new regiment and found out the situation in Fangshan Town. As expected, the camouflage troops stationed there relaxed their vigilance and were very lazy. At the same time, the soldiers also found the puppet troops there.
The camp in Fangshan Town and the corresponding defense facilities.
"I plan to lead some soldiers from the first battalion into Fangshan Town and launch an attack in Fangshan Town at night. We will cooperate internally and externally to capture Fangshan Town."
"I feel more at ease if I go by myself. The soldiers of the first battalion are not weak in combat effectiveness, but without me, other situations may easily occur." Zhang Dabiao said solemnly. There was some fighting spirit in Zhang Dabiao's eyes, and he chose to go there.
Shanzhen was not worried about problems with the soldiers, but because he wanted to fight on the front line.
After following Li Yunlong for a long time, Zhang Dabiao was also influenced by Li Yunlong and thought of leading the soldiers to the front line.
"What about the remaining soldiers of the battalion? Besides, what will happen to the soldiers of the artillery company when I leave?" Liu Gen hesitated. He wanted to go to Fangshan Town to take a look, but he was worried about the soldiers of the artillery company.
Zhang Dabiao laughed, he knew Liu Gen would be like this, "Genzi, the artillery company has just been established, it is better not to go. Besides, the artillery company will not play a big role in this battle. Send out your artillery company."
Infantry artillery is not suitable for rapid transfer, and infantry artillery can easily attract the attention of Linxian Japanese and puppet troops."
"The regimental leader said that we must prevent the identity of our new regiment from being leaked, otherwise it will easily lead to another encirclement and suppression by the Japanese."
Liu Gen nodded, he understood, and he had no objection to this arrangement. The artillery company had a certain combat effectiveness, but in the night battle, the artillery company could not play a big role, not to mention,
Once Fangshan Town is bombarded, it will be difficult to lure the rotating puppet troops into Fangshan Town.
The Type 92 infantry artillery is easy to move, but it is surrounded by hilly areas and carrying an artillery battery will undoubtedly affect the marching speed.
"Then I will go to Fangshan Town with you, Brother Zhang, to see what is going on in Fangshan Town." Liu Gen said in a deep voice.
Zhang Dabiao nodded with satisfaction, "I knew you would go with me. You tell the soldiers of the artillery company and we will meet at the entrance of the village in half an hour."
Watching Zhang Dabiao leave, Liu Gen returned to the training ground of the artillery company. He could see that these soldiers were training attentively. The training was boring and tiring, but no soldier complained, and they were working hard all the time.
Hold on.
"Papa pa pa"
"Soldiers, take a break. I want to tell you something." Liu Gen clapped his hands and asked the soldiers to stop training.
The soldiers of the artillery company stopped and wiped the sweat from their foreheads. At Liu Gen's signal, they each filled a large bowl of cold water and drank it. The soldiers were already very satisfied if they could drink a bowl of boiled water after training.
Satisfied.
"Battle Commander Zhang came to me just now and told me about our regiment's battle plan. This battle needs to end quickly to avoid causing too much impact and alerting the Japanese in Linxian County. In other words, this battle will not be fought without us.
What happened to the artillery company? I know what everyone may think, but the regiment headquarters has already made a decision and we cannot change it!"
"The only thing everyone can do is to continue to train hard. When our artillery company is used, the Japanese will have a taste of our artillery company's departure. The first squad leader will be responsible for the training for these two days. I need to go to the square with Battalion Commander Zhang.
Shanzhen, maybe we can get some good things back for everyone." In front of the soldiers, Liu Gen looked serious.
The soldiers were a little unwilling, but there was nothing they could do. They could not change what the regiment decided. As for Liu Gen going to Fangshan Town, the soldiers had no objections. During the training, the soldiers all knew that Liu Gen was going to Fangshan Town.
Based on the efforts of this company commander, he was much better than them.
After arranging things for the artillery company, Liu Gen checked his equipment and walked towards the entrance of the village.
