Leaving the mountains where the Lunan guerrilla detachment was located, Hu Biao and his entourage rushed to the railway line overnight. According to the continuous reconnaissance in the past few days, Hu Biao has found out the patrol situation of the Japanese army along the railway line, and also knows the location of the two pillboxes that the Japanese army has just built.

Compared with the control of the railway by the little devils in the later period, the Japanese army, which had just occupied Zaozhuang, was also exploring how to effectively control the railway. The construction of pillboxes in sections is also an experiment of the Japanese army, and the number of pillboxes will continue to increase in the later period.

If nothing changes, the little devil will also build an ironclad train in the later stage, and use a patrol car similar to an armored car as a weapon for railway patrol. In the face of that kind of moving ironclad car, it is really not easy to fight the idea of railroad.

On top of that, this kind of ironclad train, which can travel on railroads, can be reinforced faster than cars and infantry. Once it is known that there is a train attacked, the ironclad cars arranged nearby can rush to reinforcements as soon as possible.

Although he didn't know much about the history of Zaozhuang's Anti-Japanese War, Hu Biao knew that this railway line should be the area where the railway guerrillas were active in later generations. Around this railway line, there have also been too many singing and crying anti-Japanese war deeds.

The reason for knowing the railway guerrillas was also in the process of reconnaissance, Hu Biao learned that there was a Weishan Lake in Zaozhuang. In the early years, the railway guerrillas were broadcast, and the theme song 'Quiet on Weishan Lake' was talking about this Weishan Lake.

Arriving near the railway line, the time was close to the early morning, looking at the quiet railway line, Xu Sandao also asked: "Captain, what should I do next?" Do you want to get rid of the little devil's bunker first? ”

Pointing to the newly built pillbox standing next to the railway not far ahead, Xu Sandao, who knew the battle plan, felt that it should be good to launch an attack at this time. But in Hu Biao's opinion, it's not yet time.

Shaking his head, he said: "Send out the reconnaissance team and plant explosives at the bend in front first." As for this bunker, wait for the little devil army to be sure to send it before we do it. Do it now, what if there is a situation tomorrow? ”

"Yes, understood!"

After giving Xu Sandao the task of planting explosives, Hu Biao turned around and said, "Staff Officer Lin, go to the valley in front of you, set up the radio station, and maintain contact with the military command." If the Little Devil Army is sent out, remember to notify me in time! ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Lin Yashi, who came out with Hu Biao, also knew very well that as a newspaper operator, she also had a great responsibility. Although she also wanted to participate in the battle, after this period of experience, Lin Yashi knew very well that she would not be able to help but would cause chaos.

Thinking of what Hu Biao told her earlier, Lin Yashi still felt warm in her heart. The feeling of being trusted still makes her feel very comfortable. And she believes that with Hu Biao's trust, her relationship with Hu Biao will be closer in the future.

On the way here, Lin Yashi, who was worried about Hu Biao's suspicions, took the initiative to ask: "Captain, don't you want to ask me what I talked to my second brother about?" ”

"This is a private matter between your brothers and sisters, how can I ask about it?"

"Aren't you worried about me leaking secrets?"

"Do you have one? If there isn't, then why ask? You are my appointed confidential staff officer, and I believe in you! ”

It seems very simple, but it makes Lin Yashi feel very happy. Although doing so will make the second brother feel a little uncomfortable. But in Lin Yashi's opinion, the current positions of the two are still somewhat different, and she can't abolish her public because of personal reasons.

If she really revealed too much about the situation of the troops to Lin Dingyuan, Lin Yashi would feel sorry for Hu Biao. For Lin Yashi at this time, she enjoyed the feeling of staying with Hu Biao and the spy company, which made her feel that she had a sense of belonging to a home.

To put it a little cheesy, it may be described as 'a woman is not a mother'. Lin Yashi, who is already obsessed with Hu Biao, will be more inclined to Hu Biao's lover rather than Lin Dingyuan's brother in many things.

Fortunately, Lin Dingyuan also knew that asking his sister about the situation of Hu Biao's troops did seem a little inauthentic. If Hu Biao really knows, it will backfire. The brothers and sisters had a tacit understanding and did not mention the situation of each other's troops.

In the blind spot of the two pillboxes, Hu Biao planted explosive devices that could be detonated at any time. Seeing the whole process, the little devil didn't notice it at all, Hu Biao arranged a lurking post to continue reconnaissance, and the group he brought also returned to the valley to rest.

Carrying three days of combat dry food, Hu Biao and his entourage did not need to make a fire to cook at all. In this way, even if their hidden location is not far from the little devil's bunker, Hu Biao is not worried about being detected by the little devil.

After dawn, Qian Zhong and others, who rarely slept lazily, also began to tidy up the barracks. In addition to the normal queue training, the training arranged by Qian Zhong for each company during the day was the maintenance training of weapons.

Seeing that the lunch was very rich, many soldiers were also puzzled: "What day is today?" How do you eat so much? ”

"It's time for a war! Last night, the company commander said that there was no need for physical training and asked us to rest early, and I felt that there was a problem. Now it seems that, as expected, we should have a combat mission, and we are going to go out to the mountains to fight. ”

"Great! After training in the mountains for so long, I can finally go out to the mountains to fight devils! ”

"What is there to be happy about fighting! One is not good, our brothers, it is very likely that they will not come back! ”

"Afraid of what? If it weren't for the detachment leader's rescue, we would have died long ago. None of the chiefs are worried, so we have nothing to worry about. You don't think you'll stay in the mountains forever, do you? ”

"Who's to say it isn't! I'm afraid of a bird, our life is all in vain. Although it is comfortable to stay in the mountains, you can't always sit and eat empty mountains, right? To feed so many of us, if there is no war, where will the food come from? Where does the weapons and ammunition come from? ”

For the discussion of the soldiers, the company cadres did not stop it. Judging from the discussions of the soldiers, the cadres of the company felt that the atmosphere was good. At least the fighters are not afraid of war, and the proportion of fighters who want to go out to fight is higher.

As the deputy detachment leader, Qian Zhong received reports from each company and said very directly: "Dinner will be served in advance in the evening, and all the ammunition will be distributed to the soldiers." Tell the warriors to be ready for battle. This is the revenge battle of our Zaozhuang detachment! ”

"Yes, Deputy Detachment Leader!"

Although Hu Biao had already said earlier that he had time in the detachment, the deputy detachment commander did not have the power to mobilize troops to fight. But Qian Zhong still knew that the rights given to him by Hu Biao were not small, and none of the company commanders he nominated had been changed.

If Hu Biao leaves, I believe that the development of the Zaozhuang detachment will eventually be handed over to Qian Zhong to be responsible. In order to gain Hu Biao's trust, Qian Zhong also managed the troops as well as possible, and tried not to cause trouble for Hu Biao.

After lunch, each company called a meeting of squad and platoon commanders to re-emphasize combat discipline and at the same time distribute the ammunition received to the fighters. Many fighters were happy to see each of them be given fifty rounds of ammunition, plus four anti-Japanese grenades.

Looking at the bullets and grenades that had just been issued in their hands, the soldiers all sighed: "Compared to before, when we went to the battlefield, it would be good to receive ten bullets." Now I can get fifty rounds at once, and I shouldn't be afraid of running out of bullets when I fight. ”

"Yes! Fifty rounds of ammunition is enough for us to fight for a while! ”

Having enough bullets means going to the battlefield and not worrying about running out of bullets in a fight. Fighters are on the battlefield, and once they fall into the predicament of no bullets, they can only choose white-knuckle combat. Fighting bayonets with little devils, many fighters don't have much confidence.

In contrast, the live-fire target training during this period has given many fighters confidence. In their opinion, a bullet can't kill a little devil, so use a few more. If you can kill a few little devils, these fighters will become more confident!

When Qian Zhong and others were preparing for the attack, the Lunan guerrilla detachment, which had all its weapons distributed, was also actively preparing for war. When contacting the Lunan detachment earlier, Hu Biao left a newspaper operator behind.

The reason is that the Lunan detachment did not have a radio station. It can also be seen from this situation that the number of radio stations in the Eighth Route Army is indeed very small. Compared with the main force radio station can be sent to the regimental level troops, similar guerrilla detachments want to equip the radio, naturally impossible!

Although Hu Biao still has many radio stations in his hands, the troops under Hu Biao's command also need radio stations. According to Hu Biao's plan, the radio stations of the troops under his command should be equipped to the company level. Companies that are developing outside have radio stations and are able to communicate with headquarters in a timely manner.

If there is any emergency, you can apply for support in time. When the headquarters detects the enemy's situation, it can also remind the companies to conceal in time. Battlefield communication is also a magic weapon for Hu Biao to defeat the enemy, so it is really difficult for him to give away such a thing as a radio.

Even if he wanted to give it away, he would have to wait for Hu Biao to return to Shanghai and get the newly expected batch of radio stations, and then sell them to several parts of the Eighth Route Army. At this stage, the vast majority of the radio stations used by the Eighth Route Army were captured from the battlefield.

But for the little devils, when the mountains and rivers are really exhausted, they often send a farewell message and then destroy the radio station. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army captured far more bad radio stations than they did.

Through patchwork and patching, the Eighth Route Army also got a lot of radio stations for free. Every radio station is precious to the Eighth Route Army. Even if there were radio stations, priority was given to the main forces rather than the guerrillas.

Not long after lunch, Sun Xinghua received a telegram from Hu Biao, looking at the telegram translated by the operator, Sun Xinghua was also very surprised: "Make rice in advance and prepare dry food for two days!" Is there action tonight? ”

In the face of Sun Xinghua's inquiry, the operator shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific situation!" If the chief wants to ask, I can send a telegram to the captain to ask! ”

"Forget it! Wait a minute! It's not good to send telegrams too often! ”

In the evening, Qian Zhong and Sun Xinghua received a telegram from Hu Biao again. Looking at the assembly place informed by Hu Biao in the telegram, Sun Xinghua also knew that the first battle in which their guerrilla detachment arrived in Zaozhuang was about to start!

As for the final result of this battle, Sun Xinghua is actually looking forward to it. Fortunately, there are weapons and ammunition provided by Hu Biao, and the troops brought by Sun Xinghua, as long as they don't run into the big army of little devils, they will have the strength to fight in the future!
