Starting from the bright sword to engage in military industry

Chapter 534 Chapter 533, Prepare for Action
In June, Jindongnan already felt the tense situation, and everyone was actively preparing.

For example, on the Baijin Highway, the large and small pits that were previously filled have been dug out again, and the entire road has become dilapidated again.

In some villages near several counties, people are actively transferring.People first moved the food and supplies away, and then the old and the young were also preparing to evacuate their homes, only waiting to return after avoiding the devil's soldiers.

Different from the tense situation in the southeast of Shanxi, the little devils are sweeping the Yimeng Mountain area, and the Eighth Route Army is playing hide-and-seek with the devils, and they will beat up the sporadic troops of the devils when they get the chance.

At this time, Zhao Fengnian led the supplementary regiment and the main lineup of the guerrilla brigade, quietly crossed the mountains and came to the north of Wu'an.

This operation is a secret operation, everyone is lying down at night, climbing the mountain from a small path, avoiding the preserved fruit garrison in Wu'an, and going straight to Zhangjiashan, the bandit's lair.

In other words, Zhao Fengnian's supplementary regiment now has more than 2000 troops.Although the weapons and equipment of the supplementary regiment were not as good as those of the new regiment, they were not bad.In addition to the more than 1000 people in the guerrilla brigade, Zhao Fengnian actually brought more than 4000 troops, and they all caught up with the brigade commander.

"Meeting!" Upon arriving at the camp, Zhao Fengnian immediately organized the cadres to hold a pre-station meeting and assign combat tasks.

"Look at the map, everyone. This is Zhangjiashan where the bandits are entrenched. The bandits have built a fortification on top of Zhangjiashan. There are more than 500 people guarding it. This is their lair. Then, the bandits are still in the surrounding [-] There are garrisons established in the villages to control the villages."

"Further away, there are also bandits along the route to inquire about news, and by the way, detect where there are targets that can be robbed."

"Yang Laosi, Yang Zhi'an, who we attacked this time, when the devils withdrew from Yongnian City the year before last, he led a group of brothers and plundered with 17 other bandits and made a small fortune. Then, they Occupying this area, they have accumulated a lot of money by plundering rich households and merchants everywhere."

"This Yang Zhi'an's ambition is not small. On the one hand, he flirts with the devils, and on the other hand, he secretly communicates with the Guofu militiamen. He also uses the looted former recruits to expand his strength. When we came here , they once looted several propaganda teams and sacrificed a lot of people."

"During this period of time, we were busy fighting everywhere, and we never cared about them. This gave them time to develop, and it became a matter of sight."

"The villages controlled by the bandits are not like us who help each other and unite with the common people. These villages controlled by the bandits are basically ruined. The food in the hands of the common people and the money in the family are taken by the bandits at will. Even The same goes for women. If the common people show any resistance, they will immediately destroy the family!"

"So, it's time to get rid of this cancer and give the people a bright and sunny day!" Zhao Fengnian started.

"Now, let me talk about our next actions! According to our investigation, the villages where the bandits are stationed have been marked on the map. The number of bandits in these villages varies, and most of them are around dozens or a dozen people. , are carried by some little bosses.”

"Therefore, our operations must also be spread out. We will dispatch one or two platoons of troops to attack these villages at the same time. Then, we must concentrate the main force to attack Zhangjiashan, the lair of the bandits!"

"Okay, I've said all I need to say, if you have any questions, ask them first!" Zhao Fengnian said while looking at everyone.

"Captain, in this operation, we don't worry about combat effectiveness, nor about weapons and ammunition. The only thing we worry about is that the bandits are mixed with the common people, and we can't tell them apart!" Lai Dongxing was the one who spoke, and the main force of this attack was Infantry Battalion of the Guerrilla Brigade.

"This problem is a big problem! But you don't need to worry about it now, because this Yang Zhi'anju didn't know where to get some military uniforms and distributed them to the bandits under him, and they still look like that. So, this battle , you can easily distinguish the common people from the bandits."

"Of course, it is not ruled out that there are bandits who don't wear military uniforms, so everyone must be extra careful during the operation. But you don't have to worry, the matter of clearing out the surrounding villages will be completed by our supplementary regiment. And you, concentrate the strength of two battalions , hit the bandit's lair directly!" Zhao Fengnian said.

"Then why don't we just attack the bandit's lair and attract the bandits around?" Lai Dongxing objected.

"This is also a way, but I am worried that the bandits may not be so united. When we see our main force attacking the mountain, what we think of is not to turn back for reinforcements, but to run away! After all, the bandits are just some rabble, and they cannot use a normal mentality. Come and see!" Zhao Fengnian said.

"Since this is the case...how about we do both? I will take the first battalion to attack the mountain, and the second battalion will spread out to cooperate with your company and platoon to disperse everywhere, and then it depends on the situation? If the bandits come out to reinforce, we will fight their reinforcements." If you don’t come out, you will attack the village; if you run away, you will chase them!” Lai Dongxing said.

"It's not right! Because it's only 30 miles away from Wu'an, not far from Sun Dongling's army. This Yang Lao Si is still in Sun Dongling's army in name, so you can't give people the words to create friction." Zhao Fengnian said .

"He is not afraid of creating friction! It seems that we can only make a quick decision! We will run away after the fight and let him say anything!" Lai Dongxing said.

"So, as I said, let's start from the outskirts of the bandits' secret posts, and dig in a little bit. After dealing with those spies, we will split up and attack those villages, and at the same time attack the bandits' lair!" Zhao Fengnian said.

"Okay, I agree, give us the task!" Lai Dongxing had no objection, and asked for the task directly.

"Okay, now, I issue an order: the first battalion of the guerrilla brigade..." Zhao Fengnian began to arrange.

Soon as night fell, the guerrilla brigade, led by the guide of the supplementary group, split their way and headed for Zhangjiashan.

At the same time, more than a dozen combat squads from the second battalion of the guerrilla brigade also cooperated with one or two combat platoons of the supplementary regiment to march in the dark.

Zhao Fengnian himself stayed at the campsite with a battalion of troops, in order to dispatch from it and guard against Sun Dongling in the south.

The dark night hides the figures on the march, and everyone is marching towards their respective goals under the leadership of the guides served by local soldiers.

About four hours later, a telephone in the camp rang suddenly. This was a communication line temporarily set up by the communication soldiers of the guerrilla brigade.

"All the bandits and spies on the outside have been resolved? Very good, let's act according to the original plan! Try to end the battle and evacuate tomorrow morning!" After listening to the report, Zhao Fengnian said to the other side.
