Chapter 30 Battle Deployment!

Early the next morning.

Zhang Dabiao led a battalion of soldiers and finally arrived at Wanjia Town after a long-distance raid all night.

In the woods on the mountain south of Wanjia Town.

The soldiers are eating breakfast and stepping up to replenish their strength.

What I ate was the dry food I brought, steamed buns and pickles.

Wowotou is hard in winter, so soldiers put it in cotton clothes to warm it up before eating.

Zhang Dabiao ate two buns with pickles, picked up the water bottle on his waist, and drank his saliva, only then did he feel a little bit of strength recovering all over his body.

"After breakfast, everyone, take the time to rest for a while." Zhang Dabiao said to the soldiers.

It didn't take long before there was a lot of snoring in the woods, and the guard post was far enough away that there was no need to worry about exposure.

However, Zhang Dabiao picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction of Wanjia Town. He saw smoke rising from the kitchen in Wanjia Town, and puppet cavalry patrolled the town.

Looking through the telescope, Zhang Dabiao suddenly saw two figures approaching from the bottom of the mountain.

Upon closer inspection, it was Xu Yonghai, the commander of the assault company, and Li Changshun, the sniper, who had returned from reconnaissance in Wanjia Town.

About six or seven minutes later, Xu Yonghai and Li Changshun walked into the woods. Both of them were wearing black silk gowns and cloth shoes with thousand layers of soles.

The waist is bulging, and it is not concealed at all. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that it is a 20-gun shelling gun.

The puppet soldiers are masters who bully the weak and fear the strong. If you dress up as ordinary people who are submissive, you will think you are easy to bully.

But if you put a gun on your body and dress up like a Japanese puppet plainclothes team, the treatment will be different.

The two walked up to Zhang Dabiao and gave a military salute: "Battalion Commander!"

Zhang Dabiao returned the military salute, and then asked: "How is the situation?"

"The situation is basically clear!"

Xu Yonghai took a sip of water and said: "In Wanjia Town is the Eighth Mixed Brigade Cavalry Battalion of the Puppet Army. It is stationed in the Wanjia Compound in the center of the town. There are about one squad of puppet troops at the entrances on the east and west sides of the town. Defensively, this group of puppet troops have a weak sense of defense, and there are no guard posts outside the town."

Zhang Dabiao: "Are there any other exits from this town?"

"There is no other exit!" Xu Yonghai said in a firm tone, "The buildings in the town are distributed along one street."

In fact, even if there are other small roads entering the town, the devils and puppet soldiers will block the small roads in order to strengthen public security and prevent the Eighth Route guerrillas from infiltrating.

Zhang Dabiao's eyes lit up slightly: "As long as the entrances to the east and west of the town are blocked, the puppet cavalry battalion will not be able to escape."

The streets of Wanjia Town are not too wide, and the cavalry cannot exert their power.

Just a little thought, a perfect plan emerged in Zhang Dabiao's mind.

At that moment, Zhang Dabiao called the three company commanders of the first battalion to gather for a meeting, and more than ten platoon leaders also listened in. Zhang Dabiao gave the order with full authority:

"Wanjia Town only has a puppet cavalry battalion, and the puppet army's combat effectiveness is very weak, so this task is not too difficult."

"But it is only 4 kilometers away from Zhengtai Road. Once the guns are fired, the Japanese and puppet troops along Zhengtai Road will definitely rush to help immediately."

"So, this battle must be resolved quickly, the sooner the better!"

"The longer it drags on, the worse it will be for us."

Zhang Dabiao stretched a branch across the ground, indicating that it represented the streets of Wanjia Town.

"Our target cavalry battalion is stationed in the Wanjia compound on Zhongxin Street. There are only two entrances and exits on the whole street."

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately. These are more than 300 army horses, and they are still the kind of tall horses.

As long as this puppet cavalry battalion is killed, these more than 300 military horses will belong to the new regiment!

Zhang Dabiao went on to say: "We only need to block the two entrances and exits, and the cavalry battalion of the puppet army will become a turtle in the urn, but in order to solve the battle quickly, we must outsmart it."

"The three companies must be divided into separate operations."

"The first company enters the town from the west, and I will lead the second company to enter the town from the east. Before the main force enters the town, we will take down the puppet army at the entrance of the town."

"As long as no guns are fired at the entrance of the town, the main force of the puppet army in the town will not notice anything abnormal."

"After taking down the puppet army at Zhenkou, the first company and the second company joined together in the Wanjia compound, surrounded the Wanjia compound, and then stormed to take down the puppet cavalry battalion in one fell swoop!"

Zhang Dabiao looked at the commander of the third company: "The third company bypassed Wanjia Town and went out on Zhengtai Road, looking for a suitable terrain to prepare for a blockade, using the red signal flare as a sign, and retreating immediately when we see the red signal flare, if we move in Wanjia Town Fast enough, before the devils arrive, the battle will be over."

"do you understand?"

The three company commanders shouted in unison: "Understood!"

Afterwards, Zhang Dabiao said to Xu Yonghai: "You just went to reconnaissance. The vigilance of the puppet army is very low, so try not to shoot down the devils in the town."

"But if something unexpected happens, don't hesitate to attack immediately!"

Xu Yonghai straightened his body: "Yes, Battalion Commander!"

Zhang Dabiao took out a pocket watch from his pocket, looked at the time, and then at the sleeping soldiers behind him, his face was still somewhat tired.

Said: "It's ten past eight, wake up the soldiers in an hour."

The three company commanders replied in unison: "Yes!"

Afterwards, Zhang Dabiao looked at the sniper Li Changshun: "Changshun, can you read your watch?"

Li Changshun nodded: "Yes, Battalion Commander."

Zhang Dabiao then handed the pocket watch to Li Changshun: "Okay then, wake me up at ten past nine!"

"Yes, Battalion Commander..."

Looking at Zhang Dabiao who fell asleep leaning on the tree for a second, and looking at the sleeping faces of his comrades in arms, Li Changshun was disheveled in the cold wind, don't I need to sleep?

An hour later, Li Changshun felt his upper eyelids fighting with his lower eyelids, and his forehead hit the 98k sniper rifle with a crisp sound.

Li Changshun shook his head violently to wake up his mind quickly, and quickly looked at his pocket watch. It was only two minutes to ten past nine.

His eyes were fixed on the pocket watch, and the moment the hands pointed to ten past nine, Li Changshun stretched out his hand and pushed Zhang Dabiao's shoulder.

The moment Li Chang touched Zhang Dabiao's body, Zhang Dabiao suddenly opened his eyes.

Li Changshun said in a low voice, "Battalion Commander, it's time."

"Okay, wake up the soldiers." Taking the pocket watch from Li Changshun, Zhang Dabiao tightened the cotton coat on his body. It was very effective in keeping out the cold, and he didn't feel very cold when he slept in the open air.

Although he only slept for an hour, Zhang Dabiao felt that he was resurrected with full blood in an instant, and the fatigue caused by the long-distance raid and the sleepless night was swept away.

Soon the soldiers were awakened, and the platoon leaders of each company began to assign tasks, and then the soldiers checked their equipment.

Ten minutes later, all fighters were ready.

The first battalion, with each company as a unit, rushed towards the position designated by the battalion commander Zhang Dabiao.
