Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 135 Temporarily Changed Battle Plan

The night before attacking the Du Village stronghold.

Taking advantage of the night, all the units of the New Second Regiment were in place. Jing Dagang's first battalion occupied Heijiakou, an important place in Tunliu, and the reserve battalion and supplementary battalion followed Zhou Weihan to the Du village stronghold.

As for the New First Regiment and the Independent Regiment, Zhou Weihan also dispatched a signal corps to discuss the answers to the joint operations.

Everything is ready, only the brigade commander and the observation group are in place.

In a forest north of the Du Village stronghold, several company commanders of the reserve battalion and the supplementary battalion were present, and Zhou Weihan held a temporary combat meeting.

"Leader, the surrounding situation has been investigated clearly. I have a small suggestion. First hit Shidu Town, northwest of Du Village's stronghold." Dong Jiang said.

"How to say?" Zhou Weihan asked.

"Shidu Town is a soft persimmon. There is a regiment of the Imperial Association Army stationed here. There are only more than 600 people. They don't have any heavy weapons, and their combat effectiveness is not even third-rate. We only need to send an army to attack Shidu. Town, I am not afraid that the defenders at the Du Village stronghold will not be recruited." Dong Jiang analyzed.

"Commander Zhou, temporarily changing the battle plan is a big taboo for military strategists. Is your appetite a little too big for such a change?" Chu Yunfei said worriedly.

"This is not a temporary change in the battle plan. We only have one tactic, which is to encircle the points and fight for aid. Now we just need to determine which is the point and which is the aid." Zhou Weihan said with a smile.

"Regimental Commander, the puppet army is just a group of mobs. Let us go to the reserve battalion. I promise to take down Shidu Town before the arrival of enemy reinforcements." Wang Yigong, the first company commander of the reserve battalion, said.

Zhou Weihan thought about it secretly, and felt that it was a good start.

There are about 1200 people in the reserve battalion, all of whom are veterans who have been on the battlefield. The training has been going on for a month, and the weapons and equipment are complete.

There are more than 500 people in the supplementary battalion. Although it is newly formed, the soldiers are all transformed from the puppet army. It has been half a month of training. It may not be strong enough to fight a tough battle. It is still no problem to stop the enemy's reinforcements.

The most important thing is that the team cannot rely on training alone, without seeing blood on the battlefield, they cannot become elite.

Zhou Weihan thought for a while, and said decisively: "Hit, the meat that reaches the mouth, can you still let him run away?"

As soon as Zhou Weihan finished speaking, the faces of the several company commanders present were all beaming with joy. They thought this operation was to beat the side drums, but who would have imagined that the pie fell from the sky, and they became the main attacking force in a blink of an eye.

"I ordered the reserve battalion to quickly approach Shidu Town, and launch an attack on time at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning. The supplementary battalion will be deployed on the periphery, occupying important areas, building fortifications, and blocking the enemy reinforcements. The reconnaissance company will deal with the enemy in the Du village stronghold according to the plan. .”

"Wang Yigong is fully responsible for the attack on Shidu Town. Wang Yigong is the battalion commander and Gao Zhiheng is the instructor." Zhou Weihan finally said.

"Regimental Commander, to take down Shidu Town this time, is it our reserve battalion?" Wang Yigong said tentatively.

"Damn it, what's going on? Just make a deal with me?" Zhou Weihan said with a glare at him.

The reserve battalion has never had a battalion commander. After the big competition, Zhou Weihan has been too busy to take care of it.

But there must always be someone who can make the final decision on the battlefield, otherwise the reserve battalion will fight on their own, which is a big taboo for military strategists.

Wang Yigong graduated from the thirteenth batch of the Whampoa Military Academy. He has no military quality. He is well-known among the company commanders of the reserve battalion. Zhou Weihan usually trains him as a battalion commander.

Gao Zhiheng is even a member of the Eighth Route Army. He was born in the teaching brigade of the 115th Division, and he is more than enough to be an instructor.

"Okay, that's the battle plan. You've been clamoring for a war all day long. Now is your chance. It's a mule or a horse. You'll know when you pull it out. Do a good job in the ideological work of the soldiers and leave immediately." Zhou Weihan took a look. The company commanders present said.

"Yes, Captain, I promise to complete the task."

Everyone dispersed, only Zhou Weihan and Chu Yunfei were left on the scene, as well as the accompanying guard company.

"Brother Zhou, you seem to be very sure? The current situation can affect the whole body." Chu Yunfei said.

"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. No one can guarantee that the battle is [-]% sure, but why not fight if you are not sure?" Zhou Weihan asked rhetorically.

"Both of my battalions have just been established. Don't let them see blood and wait for the little devils to come to your door. Doesn't that mean letting them die?"

The reserve battalion was led by a soldier from the reconnaissance company. On the way to Shidu Town, the soldiers were very excited and their morale was high when they heard that it was their turn to be the main force this time.

Soon, the reserve battalion arrived near Shidu Town.

"Quickly, each company finds a nearby place to hide for the night, and sets up a guard post. Don't fucking hit the enemy yet, let them find out first." Wang Yigong said.

"Old Gao, you stay here, I will take people to investigate the firepower point of Shidu Town."

Although the reconnaissance company assigned a soldier who had scouted the town during the day.But before the war, Wang Yigong was still worried and decided to investigate again.

The soldiers of the five companies of the reserve battalion each found a place to hide, and the soldiers didn't pay much attention to it. They found a place and two or three of them slept next to each other.

That night, when Wang Yigong came back from the investigation, several company commanders were still up.

"The enemy's defense in Shidu Town is not too strict. With the strength of our reserve battalion, it is no problem to take it down."

Wang Yigong's words gave the company commanders of the reserve battalion a reassurance. Although they were all active in the battle, they were really nervous before the battle.

"I decided, the art of war says to encircle three gates and one. Tomorrow I will personally lead the first and second companies to attack the north gate as the main attack, the third company to attack the west gate, the fourth company to attack the east gate, and Lao Gao's fifth company to attack the south gate. Don't make too much noise at the door, give the puppet soldiers inside a little hope, and don't let them really die with us." Wang Yigong said.

In the early morning of the next day, all the companies of the reserve battalion had moved into place, hiding in the mountains and forests in four directions.

On the avenue, there were already a few pedestrians, some carrying firewood, and some carts carrying grain, all of which were going to the town to sell.

Wang Yigong looked at the pedestrians on the road and thought of a plan.

"How did you go in to investigate yesterday?" Wang Yigong asked the soldiers of the reconnaissance company.

"Battalion Commander Wang, we just dressed up as local people yesterday and then entered the city." The soldiers of the reconnaissance company returned.

"Go, find some local fighters for me." Wang Yigong said to the guard.

The city gate of Shidu Town is said to be a city gate, but in fact the city wall is made of earth. When the wind blows, the gate creaks.

In this era, the warlords fought for many years. In addition to the county towns in various places, basically small towns also built city walls.

The reason is self-evident, in addition to guarding against the plethora of bandits, but also guarding against passing soldiers.

At the gate of the east city, Cao Qi, a soldier of the reconnaissance company, led a few soldiers in disguise, and sneaked into the team entering the city.

A few puppet troops followed the line and searched carefully: "It's all about his mother's cooperation, don't let me talk nonsense."

A puppet soldier walked up to Cao Qi who was dressed as a shopkeeper, frowned and said, "Why do you look familiar to me?"

"Master Jun, you have a good memory. I came to town yesterday!" Cao Qi greeted him with a smile.

"Do you understand the rules?"

"Understood, understood, Jun Ye, I am a small business, and when I make a fortune someday, I will treat the military men to a good meal." Cao Qi took out a piece of ocean and stuffed it into the hands of the puppet army.

The puppet army was very satisfied, after all, a peddler who walks the streets and alleys is already very satisfied with being able to squeeze out a piece of ocean.

"What are you guys doing? It's strange to see you."

Cao Qi looked back and saw that it was a few soldiers from the company who were being questioned.

Before Cao Qi could say anything, "Hey, there is still food in the car. You are quite courageous, and you dare to sell food at will. I think you are like the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army. You are going to enter the city to wreak havoc." A puppet soldier said.

"Mr. Jun, we are all from eight villages. We didn't hear that we were not allowed to sell food before we came here?" A clever soldier pretended to beg.

"Master Jun, I know these people? They are all good citizens!" Cao Qi couldn't help but said.

The puppet army who had received the money was in a good mood, just thinking about gambling for two nights and getting back their money.

"Big Scar, that's fine, let them send the food to the camp to improve the food for the brothers. These days, they eat corned buns every day and make their throats worse."
