In order to prevent accidents, Feng Yipeng returned from the Huangcheng Temple and went straight to the battle site with the 735th Regiment.

With Pingshe Station as the center, the closer you get to the station, the more devils there are, Feng Yipeng had to take the 735th Regiment to bypass Pingshe Station in order not to expose his whereabouts. Such a simple detour made the 735th Regiment walk more than 40 miles. Feng Yipeng: They started walking at half past ten in the morning of the 16th, and arrived at their destination at five o'clock in the afternoon.

Feng Yipeng stopped his troops in a ravine three or four miles away from the devil's stronghold. There were no villages around the devil's stronghold, and the Eighth Route Army could only sleep in the wilderness. Even if there is a village, Feng Yipeng probably doesn't dare to borrow it, this place is too close to the devil's stronghold, and a slight mistake may expose his whereabouts, once the devil discovers it in advance, the task given to Feng Yipeng by his superiors may not be completed. Being discovered by the devil at this time means that Feng Yipeng will have to drag the devil for at least two days.

Feng Yipeng had to aggrieved everyone to sleep in this wilderness tonight in order to complete the task smoothly, "Comrades, I know that everyone must be very tired after a day's journey and need to rest well, but in order to ensure that our whereabouts are not exposed, everyone can only be wronged and sleep in this ravine tonight" The 735th Regiment began to rush from the early morning, first rushing to the City God Temple, and then going straight to the devil's stronghold.

After hearing the news, everyone didn't complain too much, after all, the vast majority of the Eighth Route Army was born from a hard background, and everyone could still bear this hardship. Li Moran and Zhou Bin are very few in the Eighth Route Army.

After Shen Yunjie roughly observed left and right, he found that the position he occupied now was very good, and Shen Yunjie lay down directly with his back against the small hill. Immediately after that, the rest of the Seventh Company squeezed together with Shen Yunjie as the center. They didn't form a circle, but a line of long snakes.

Shen Yunjie originally brought dry food with him, but he was so tired now that he didn't even bother to eat the dry food and went to sleep directly. In fact, everyone in the 735th Regiment is not much different from Shen Yunjie.

Exhaustion by mistake became an advantage, and everyone quickly fell asleep because of the exhaustion. Once this person falls asleep, he can't feel the cold of the outside world. And they have suffered a lot less.

God seems to be helping the Eighth Route Army as well, and there is no rain or snow in the moon and stars this night. If it really snows, the Eighth Route Army will suffer a big crime.

Early the next morning, on the 17th. Feng Yipeng led the three battalion commanders to observe the terrain in advance. When the four of them left, the whole group was basically still sleeping.

Feng Yipeng observed the specific situation of the devil's stronghold on the high ground seven or eight hundred meters away from the devil's stronghold.

In the telescope, the closest thing to Feng Yipeng and them is a highway that runs through the north and south, and it is precisely because of this highway that there is a devil stronghold here.

There are checkpoints set up by devils on the highway to check on passing people and vehicles.

Continue to look east along the road, there are two defensive positions of devils next to the road. One machine gun plus a few rifles in each defensive position. Feng Yipeng: Their current location is to the west of the devil's stronghold.

There is an artificially dug blockade ditch not far behind the defensive position, and Feng Yipeng has not been able to understand how deep the blockade ditch is. There is only one drawbridge over the blockade ditch. The reason why the strongholds of the devils are almost the same as the structure of the ditch and the suspension bridge is actually one of the simplest and most effective means of defense. Once you find that an enemy is coming, pull the drawbridge and hold on to it, which is very easy to use.

Further east is an open space, and there is a lot of open space. There is a turret on the north and south of the clearing. The north turret is taller, and the south turret is shorter. This was not built randomly, but was built according to the topography of the area, and if the enemy wanted to attack a stronghold, the best way to attack was from the south. Therefore, the devil built the turret in the north higher to make the turret shoot wider. If the two turrets are the same height, the south turret will greatly affect the firing of the north turret.

Behind the turret are two rows of low houses, which seem to be where the devils usually live.

The general situation of the devil's stronghold is like this, because Feng Yipeng is far away from the devil's turret, and Feng Yipeng can't know the specific situation in the turret.

Then Feng Yipeng took the three battalion commanders and quietly touched the north of the devil's stronghold. Feng Yipeng's mission this time is not only to attack the devil's stronghold, but more importantly, to attract troops from around the devil to help, so Feng Yipeng also needs to figure out the surrounding situation.

In the small ravine, Shen Yunjie finally woke up, but Shen Yunjie felt very cold after waking up. It was so cold that Shen Yunjie shivered all the time.

Shen Yunjie originally wanted to get up and do exercises to warm himself up, but Shen Yunjie now has people sleeping next to him on the left and right, and if he moves too much, he may wake up the people on the left and right. After considering this, Shen Yunjie had no choice but to stay where he was.

It didn't take long for everyone to wake up, and Shen Yunjie quickly stood up and stretched his arms and legs.

After this activity, Shen Yunjie found that he was sore all over his body and his body was a little stiff. Especially when I move slightly, the pain sweeps through my body. Shen Yunjie muttered to himself at this time, and complained in a low voice, "Hey, it's still comfortable to sleep on the kang." ”

After Shen Yunjie recovered a little, he began to look for the third battalion commander everywhere, and Shen Yunjie wanted to ask the battalion commander what arrangements he had next.

Shen Yunjie looked around and didn't find the battalion commander, and the regiment commander Feng Yipeng was not there. At this moment, Shen Yunjie had already guessed that the battalion commander and regiment commander should have gone to reconnoiter the terrain.

Thinking of this, Shen Yunjie didn't look any further, and returned directly to the gathering place of the Seventh Company.

Lao Cai, who had recovered his spirits, immediately came up as soon as he saw Shen Yunjie coming back.

Shen Yunjie knew what Lao Cai wanted to say next as soon as he saw Lao Cai's current face. Lao Cai will probably ask himself where exactly we are going to fight.

"Company commander, where do you say we're going to fight?? Yesterday, I had been walking for a whole day, and I didn't see the head of the regiment let us fight the devils, and we have been avoiding the devils. Sure enough, as soon as Lao Cai opened his mouth, it was not much different from what Shen Yunjie thought just now.

It's not that Shen Yunjie doesn't want to answer Lao Cai, it's just that Shen Yunjie doesn't know where to fight the devil now. Shen Yunjie is also very unfamiliar with this area, and the only map marked with the devil's stronghold is currently only the head of the regiment, Feng Yipeng.

Lao Cai still didn't give up after seeing Shen Yunjie shaking his head, "Company commander, why don't you go and ask our battalion commander??" ”

"To tell you the truth, I just went to find the battalion commander."

"How?? What did our battalion commander say?? ”

Shen Yunjie spread his hands and expressed helplessness, "What do you say??" I haven't found our battalion commander, and our regiment commander is not here," Shen Yunjie directly blocked the road to Lao Cai in order to prevent Lao Cai from getting to the bottom of it.

Lao Cai sighed slightly disappointed.

Shen Yunjie patted Lao Cai on the shoulder and comforted, "What are you in a hurry, you will definitely let us fight the little devils." The head of the regiment will definitely not just take us around for a walk, it must be that the time has not yet come. ”

Lao Cai is usually quite calm and steady, but there is such a thing as fighting devils, Lao Cai has never been calm.

While Shen Yunjie and Lao Cai were talking, Feng Yipeng and the three battalion commanders had already returned after reconnoitring the surrounding terrain.

Feng Yipeng, who returned, saw that everyone had woken up now, so he directly called all the company commanders together.

All the company commanders sat on the ground in a circle, and Feng Yipeng put the map directly on the ground.

Feng Yipeng combined the map and shared the situation just now and the specific tasks of the 735th Regiment to everyone present.

After Feng Yipeng finished talking about this, he looked at everyone and asked, "Now you are clear about the basic situation and general tasks, right?" ”

Everyone replied in unison, "Clear!" ”

After Feng Yipeng got the confirmation, he continued: "The superiors instructed us to make the movement bigger, I planned it like this, at the beginning of the battle, we concentrated the firepower of the whole regiment to attack the devil's stronghold, and as soon as the battle began, our regiment opened fire with full firepower, completely blinding the enemy. Then, before the enemy support arrived, divide the troops, prepare an ambush in advance, and wait for the devil reinforcements. We don't know much about the speed of the devil's support for the time being, so in order to prevent accidents, I plan to arrange a company of troops in the north and south directions in advance, and ambush them in advance. ”

After Feng Yipeng finished speaking, his eyes continued to look at everyone, "Do you understand?" The crowd continued to nod their heads to indicate that they understood.

Feng Yipeng continued: "Very good, that company volunteered to block the enemy's reinforcements. ”

Everyone lowered their heads and didn't speak, and in the eyes of these company commanders, it was cool to snipe at the stronghold of the devil who had a direct attack, and everyone wanted to participate in the attack on the devil's stronghold.

"Since everyone doesn't want to take the initiative to receive this task, I can only name it randomly."

Shen Yunjie prayed silently in his heart, "God bless the regiment commander, don't call the Seventh Company, I want to fight the devil's stronghold." ”

Sometimes I have to say that I am really afraid of something, the first company Feng Yipeng reads is the seventh company, "The company responsible for the ambush in advance in the north is Shen Yunjie's seventh company." ”

As soon as Feng Yipeng's words came out, except for Shen Yunjie, the other company commanders all breathed a sigh of relief. These company commanders now have a unified idea in their hearts: "Fortunately, it was not our company that was drawn." ”

Shen Yunjie now thinks that he is unlucky except for a depressed face. There is no room for bargaining in this kind of thing, it is mandatory. Otherwise, everyone will have endless excuses.

In fact, Feng Yipeng's choice of Shen Yunjie was selfish, after the previous battles, Shen Yunjie's Seventh Company suffered heavy casualties every time, and this time Feng Yipeng deliberately arranged a relatively simple task for the Seventh Company. Note that it's only relatively easier to sniper devils than to attack strongholds.

As we all know, the devil's stronghold has a turret and a blockade ditch, which can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack, attacking the devil's stronghold is not just a show, but a real attack, if you don't come to some real devils, will you ask for help??

Because of this, everyone wants to attack the devil's stronghold, and the Eighth Route Army likes to fight the most difficult battles by themselves, not to mention these company commanders. Even those regiment commanders rushed to be the main attacking force every time there was a battle.

Feng Yipeng, who should have arranged the arrangement before the war, was all arranged.

One of the company commanders asked, "Commander, when are we going to attack?" ”

Feng Yipeng first looked at his watch, and then replied: "Wait a minute, if we enter the battle too early, we will be under too much pressure." ”

The company commander continued to ask, "So what are we going to do next??" ”

Feng Yipeng just replied with two words: "Rest." ”
