Fangshan Town is located in the west of Shanxi Province, in the middle of Luliang Mountain, in the seventh year of the Republic of China, Fangshan Town was changed to Fangshan County.

Due to the frequent wars and the instability of the domestic situation, after Fangshan Town was changed to Fangshan County, there was not much change, so the locals still called Fangshan Town. The population of Fangshan Town is not large, less than a thousand households, and the arrival of the devil makes it difficult for Fangshan Town to continue to maintain the previous peace, and the population has decreased a lot. Since 1937, when the Japanese army occupied Fangshan, it has been oppressing the people of Fangshan.

After Zhang Dabiao sent the scouts to Fangshan Town, he patiently waited for the scouts' reply, judging from the situation in Fangshan Town, the scouts sent should not be in much danger.

After borrowing half of the pickaxe from the artillery company, Zhang Dabiao led a battalion of soldiers to reclaim the wasteland, and he also knew that the daily training of the soldiers should not be affected by the reclamation of the wasteland. From Liu Gen, Zhang Dabiao knew the arrangement of the artillery company, and the soldiers were rotated to be as fair and just as possible.

Zhang Dabiao naturally knew this, and when he asked the soldiers to reclaim the wasteland, he also rotated, which made the soldiers have no complaints. Many of these soldiers are full of expectations, after planting grain on the reclaimed wasteland, they will definitely get a lot of harvest, and at that time, their daily meals can be better.

After the second battalion commander and the third battalion commander were reprimanded by Ding Wei, the new regiment commander, they both focused their attention on the first battalion, striving to make their battalion soldiers reach a level comparable to that of the first battalion. After knowing about the first battalion's reclamation of wasteland, the second battalion commander and the third battalion commander did not lag behind, they found some tools, and let the soldiers use their leisure time to reclaim wasteland.

At the same time, after these two days, the new regiment also specially sent some soldiers to help the old people in the village reclaim the wasteland. These selected fighters can get certain rewards, and after knowing this, the fighters are extremely enthusiastic to sign up and be selected. When helping the old people to reclaim the wasteland, the soldiers were also very serious and attentive, so that the old people in the village were quite satisfied.

However, there are many old people in the village, and two days is not enough, and after knowing that the soldiers of the new regiment are going to fight, the old village chief said that he can understand. The only thing that worried the old village chief was that he was worried that the soldiers of the new regiment would not come back. But after Liu Gen's assurance, the old village chief still put his mind at ease, the geographical location of their village is good, and it is the most suitable place for the new regiment to be stationed in this area.

Xinghua Village is the name of this village, Xinghua Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only one side leads to the outside world, and the concealment can be described as quite strong, which is one of the reasons why the new group has not been discovered by the devils.

When you go out to Xinghua Village, it is surrounded by hills, and even if there are devils coming, it is difficult to carry heavy weapons, and it will be much easier for the new regiment to defend. Xinghua Village is less than thirty miles west of Fangshan Town, and it is very simple for the new group to reach Fangshan Town. I'm afraid that the devils wouldn't have thought that the new group was right under their noses, and it was Li Yungen's courage that he dared to place the new group in Xinghua Village.

"Genzi, are you interested in going to Fangshan Town with me?" On Sunday, Liu Gen led the soldiers of the artillery company for training, and Zhang Dabiao came to the artillery company.

Liu Gen looked at Zhang Dabiao with some surprise, "Brother Zhang, are you going to Fangshan Town?" What about that battalion? ”

Yesterday, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company who went to Fangshan Town returned to the new regiment and found out the situation in Fangshan Town. At the same time, the soldiers also found the camp of the puppet army in Fangshan Town, as well as the corresponding defense facilities.

"I am going to take a part of the soldiers of the battalion into Fangshan Town, launch an attack in Fangshan Town at night, and take Fangshan Town."

"It's more reassuring for me to go by myself, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the first battalion is not weak, but I'm not there, and other situations are likely to occur." Zhang Dabiao opened his mouth and said in a deep voice. Zhang Dabiao had a bit of fighting spirit in his eyes, and he chose to go to Fangshan Town, not because he was worried that there would be problems with the soldiers, but because he wanted to fight at the front line.

After following Li Yunlong for a long time, Zhang Dabiao was also influenced by Li Yunlong, and would think of rushing to the front line with the soldiers.

"What about the rest of the battalion? Also, I'm gone, what about the fighters of the artillery company? Liu Gen was a little hesitant, he wanted to go to Fangshan Town to have a look, but he was worried about the soldiers of the artillery company.

Zhang Dabiao laughed, he knew that Liu Gen would be like this, "Genzi, the artillery company has just been established, so it's better not to go, and the artillery company can't play much role in this battle." The infantry artillery of your artillery company is not suitable for rapid transfer, and the infantry artillery is also easy to attract the attention of the devils and puppet troops in Linxian County. ”

"The head of the regiment said that we must avoid the identity of our new group from being revealed, otherwise it will be easy to attract the devils to encircle and suppress again."

Liu Gen nodded, he understood, and he didn't have any opinion on such an arrangement. The artillery company has a certain combat effectiveness, but in the night battle, the role that the artillery company can play is not much, not to mention, once the opponent's mountain town is shelled, it will be difficult to lure the rotating puppet army into Fangshan Town.

The Type 92 infantry gun is easy to move, but it is surrounded by hilly terrain, and with an artillery battery, it will undoubtedly affect the speed of the march.

"Then I'll follow Brother Zhang to Fangshan Town with you to see what the situation is in Fangshan Town." Liu Gen said in a deep voice.

Zhang Dabiao nodded with satisfaction, "I knew you would go with me, you talk to the soldiers of the artillery company, and in half an hour, meet at the entrance of the village." ”

Watching Zhang Dabiao leave, Liu Gen returned to the training ground of the artillery company, and could see that these soldiers were concentrating on training. The training was boring and tiring, but none of the fighters cried out, and they kept trying.

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Warriors, take a break, I'll tell you something." Liu Gen clapped his hands and told the fighters to stop training.

The soldiers of the artillery company stopped, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and at Liu Gen's signal, they each filled a large bowl of cold boiled water and drank it. After training, the fighters were already satisfied with a bowl of boiled water.

"Battalion Commander Zhang came to me just now and told me about the battle plan of our regiment, this time the operation needs to end the battle quickly to avoid causing too much impact and alarming the devils in Linxian County. That is, this time in battle, there was nothing to do with our artillery battery. I know what you might think, but the regimental headquarters has already made a decision, and we can't change it! ”

"The only thing you can do is to continue to train hard, and when you use our artillery company, let the devil taste the departure of our artillery company. The two-day training is in charge of the first squad leader, and I need to go to Fangshan Town with Battalion Commander Zhang, maybe I can get some good things back for everyone. In front of the soldiers, Liu Gen looked serious.

The soldiers were a little unwilling, but there was nothing they could do, and the things decided by the regimental headquarters were not something they could change. As for Liu Gen going to Fangshan Town, the soldiers had no opinion, and in the training, the soldiers knew that Liu Gen, the company commander, was working hard, but he was much stronger than them.

After arranging the affairs of the artillery company, Liu Gen checked his equipment and walked towards the entrance of the village.
