Chapter 293 Arriving at the East Edge of Meiling
Li Chong took the telegram and read it from beginning to end, his pupils shrank.

Hey, this Tang Dayao has a lot of appetite, and his mind is on the devil train.

"The artillery platoon and the heavy machine gun platoon are all assembled, and after a quarter of an hour, they all head to the chessboard stone where the first battalion is located."

As soon as the order was issued, the mortar and heavy machine gun officers and soldiers who had just returned from Pingshang Village were mobilized again.

Before the telegram was sent earlier, the Nanxun railway section on the east side of Meiling.

After a battalion of officers and soldiers finished preparing and disguising the boulder, they squatted here for nearly two days and two nights, watching another passenger train pass by during this period.

The two soldiers crouching behind a rock looked at the passing train, pointed to a message in a thread-bound book, and whispered excitedly, "Yes, this trip is also right!"

This thread-bound book is exactly the material transportation information sent by the soldiers of the Second Battalion of Jian Yongjiang two days ago. It contains the information on the transportation of devil trains in the Meiling section attributed by the Nanxun Military Workers Team. Not to mention the life supply and transportation information of the Devils and puppet troops, the information on which days the Devils train usually passes through the Meiling section of the Nanxun Railway is even more precious to the First Battalion at the moment.

After receiving the gift from Jian Yongjiang, Tang Dayao asked his soldiers to take it to the boulder setting on the east side of Meiling to verify whether the information on the devil trains recorded in the book was accurate.

Sure enough, the two trains that passed by in the past two days matched the records in the book.

The two soldiers passed through the garrison line of their colleagues and came to a temporary command post made of wood and stones on the back of the edge of the mountain. They said happily, "Battle Commander, yes, it seems that the eight roads are credible. .”

Tang Dayao took the case and stood up, "Great, then according to the record above, the devil freight train will pass by the railway at [-] o'clock tomorrow afternoon to deliver coal resources to Nanchang City for the iron-making and gun making of the arsenal in the city. The hard work of the day has come in handy. Go and send a report to the head of the group, I, Old Tang, want to invite the head of the group to watch a good show, haha!"

The three main station companies of the first battalion were all dispatched. Tang Dayao dared not hide this kind of large-scale transfer from the regiment leader. He didn't report it before because his ideas were immature and he was not ready.Now that the preparatory work of the plan has been completed, Tang Dayao can rest assured to inform the head of the group at this moment, otherwise he dare not report to the head of the group easily when the matter is not ready until the end of the door.

When Li Chong received Tang Dayao's telegram to assemble the mortar platoon and heavy machine gun platoon to rush to Qipanshi, the Wanli District team was stationed in a mountain depression on the southeast side of Meiling.

These days, Xiao Yuan and the literate people copied a lot of fragments about "On Protracted War", and then led the district team into the villages and towns to encourage some militiamen and young villagers to fight devils, and recruited soldiers along the way. The number of people has also expanded to 70, which is a full force of two platoons.

When returning to the main station of the district team with the recruits, the team members staying at the station stepped forward to report the latest situation around the station, "Captain, the national army on the side of the chessboard stone has been a lot of movement these days, day and night in Meiling Nanxun Stones were dug along the edge of the railway, and martial law was imposed within 300 meters, even the villagers were not allowed to pass, and our people did not understand what the national army was doing.”

"Understood, these Chongqing soldiers in Meiling are active in fighting devils."

Xiao Yuan nodded. At first she just listened to it, but after a while she grasped the point, "You mean the national army of Chessboard Stone ran to the east edge?"

"Yeah, we can see clearly that the people of the national army have been digging stones all over the mountain during the day and night for the past few days, and they have no idea what they are doing?"

"The eastern edge is the Nanxun Railway. Do these national troops want to intercept the train?"

Xiao Yuan was surprised. She had a vivid topographical map in her mind about the topography of Meiling, especially the vast area on the east side where she led the team's activities. So when the team members mentioned the east side of Meiling When she was working, she immediately thought of the railway.

"I don't know what kind of idea those people in the national army are up to. Even if they want to follow Captain Li and the others to intercept the devil's train, they don't need to chisel stones all over the mountain."

Xiao Yuan didn't even step into the station, turned around and said, "Come on, let's take a look from a distance."

The people in the Wanli District team were wondering about the strange actions of the national army. On Li Chong's side, he led two heavy firepower platoons to shuttle forward between the mountains and forests.

After marching for two and a half hours, Li Chong arrived at the foot of the Qipanshi mountain. Dozens of soldiers from the first battalion were waiting at the foot of the mountain under the leadership of the first company commander.

Seeing Li Chong approaching, he ran forward for a long distance, "Report to the regiment commander, the battalion commander asked me to wait for you here, he is preparing at the front."

Li Chong waved his palm, "Lead the way ahead, I want to see the drama he is preparing!"

The group marched forward for another four or ten minutes, and arrived outside the temporary headquarters set up by the first battalion.

"Head is here!"

When the commanders of the first battalion in the temporary headquarters heard the voice, they all straightened up and stood at attention to salute in advance.

The soldiers standing guard on both sides pulled up the curtain of the headquarters, Li Chong strode in, the company commander Tang Dayao stood aside, and gave up the position of the head of the headquarters, "Commander, take your seat."

Li Chong stood in front of his seat, "This time your first battalion can be regarded as the biggest effort of our regiment since it entered Meiling. You, the host, have done all the work that should be done, and I, the regiment leader, is the icing on the cake. The battalion has brought you all, and you are the master planner of what to do next, and I will not interfere with you to continue."

Li Chong is not a leader full of desire for control. At the beginning of the division of troops, he gave each battalion the autonomy to recruit troops to fight against the Japanese. This leadership method that gave subordinates the initiative really brought him a surprise. Although a bit rude, it is definitely a way to make a name for yourself.

When Tang Dayao heard what the regiment leader said, he immediately raised his head and replied, "I, Tang Dayao, are the chief planner, and you are the commander-in-chief. Thank you, regiment commander, for not blaming me for arbitrarily using the entire battalion."

Tang Dayao said this because when the troops were divided, the head of the regiment once said that it is not allowed to attack the devil's stronghold with more than 50 people, unless the neck is stuck.But this time against the devil's train, he, Tang Dayao, assembled the three main battle companies of the whole battalion, and he didn't know how many devils were on the train.

However, when the head of the regiment was the battalion commander, Tang Dayao followed Li Chong. He knew the temperament of the head of the regiment. As long as the planning was reasonable and the unforeseen factors did not exceed [-]%, the head of the regiment was acceptable.

The head of the regiment is not the kind of person who does not allow failures under his post, but just does not allow worthless failures. Like a few days ago, 27 people were killed in the third battalion. How many people were killed in the process, the head of the regiment will not reprimand.
