Captain Lei's leg injury was still bad for a while, so he had to use crutches all the time.

Just now, he and political commissar Jiang Hongfei were discussing the matter of dividing troops to open up base areas in the future.

It has been a few months since the Pioneer Regiment arrived here, and although there have been many battles, the control area has not been large. In addition, the main strength of the Japanese army has recently been shifted to the Yellow River, which has led to a significant decline in the power of the Japanese army in the Nakajo Mountain area.

Since the Kuomintang army launched a campaign to cross the Yellow River eastward in order to stabilize the Yellow River defense line, the attention of the Japanese army will not be focused on the Zhongtiao Mountain area that has just been occupied for a short time.

After ambushing the Japanese convoy, although the Japanese army increased the defense of Jiangxian and Hengqu counties, it was essentially unable to enter the mountains to launch a large-scale sweep.

Therefore, the brigade decided to make the vanguard regiment into parts, take the initiative to penetrate into the enemy-occupied areas in batches to attack the Japanese puppet forces, expand the scope of the base area, and do its best to attack and harass the rear of the Japanese army.

Due to the defeat of the national army in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, the impact at home and abroad was extremely bad. For a time, the theory of the destruction of the country and capitulationism prevailed throughout the country, and the prestige of the Chongqing government was greatly damaged.

In order to rebuild the anti-Japanese confidence in the rear, the chairman of the committee had to strictly order the troops on the west bank of the Yellow River to take the initiative to attack, and to try to recover some of the lost territory in southern Jinnan in order to save the situation and the people's will.

Of course, while strictly ordering the Nationalist army on the west side of the Yellow River to attack, the Nationalist Government did not forget the Eighth Route Army on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Although the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party has been delicate recently, this does not prevent the chairman from assigning combat missions to the Eighth Route Army.

No, while the brigade was sent to replenish the fighters, it also issued the latest combat mission.

The higher authorities asked the vanguard regiment to take the initiative to attack and try its best to attack the supply lines of the Japanese army's rear lines of communication and cooperate with the counteroffensive plan of the national army in the second war zone.

Of course, the troops participating in the operation were by no means only the vanguard regiment, but the entire Eighth Route Army in the central and southern Jinxi regions were in action.

No, after receiving the news that the traitor forces on the edge of the enemy-occupied area had purchased arms, the regiment commander and the political commissar decided to immediately form a commando team to seize these weapons and ammunition by means of a surprise attack, and by the way, defeat this stubborn traitor force to deter the enemy.

……

Lei Wancheng looked at the warriors in front of him who were ready to go, and nodded with satisfaction.

"The morale of the comrades is very high, and it seems that everyone has a lot of confidence in this operation."

"Please rest assured, the head of the regiment, clean up a traitor with two devils, we promise to be clean and neat!"

Shen Cunzhi looked at the old head with confidence, and roared in a loud voice.

"During this time, the second company has been repairing, and the soldiers' desire to fight is very high, and this time this fat sheep can be used to increase the battlefield experience for new soldiers."

"Well, Lao Shen, you played well last time, although I didn't let you play the main attack this time, but you kid must also give me a good fight, and you must not be careless."

"The old regiment commander can rest assured, the second company guarantees to complete the task!"

After returning a military salute to Shen Cunzhi, Lei Wancheng looked at everyone and continued:

"I don't have any other requirements for everyone, the only requirement is to act quickly and fight resolutely! Battles must not be dragged by mud and water, let alone loved! Do you understand? ”

"Understood!"

Nodding, Lei Wancheng looked at the political commissar beside him and said.

"Lao Jiang, do you have anything to add?"

Seeing that the political commissar shook his head, Lei Wancheng stepped forward and finally patted Yang Chenghu on the shoulder and admonished:

"Be careful on the road and let's go!"

Seeing the warriors walking away, Lei Wancheng frowned.

"What's wrong with you, old Lei? Are you worried about what code? ”

Political Commissar Jiang Hongfei looked at the pocket watch in his hand, stepped forward and asked in a deep voice.

"I'm not worried about them, but they don't feel right lately. Now that we have a heavy army of devils in the south and west, and the Kuomintang army in Luoyang in the east cannot be fully trusted, I am always uneasy in my heart. “

After listening to Lei Wancheng's words, Jiang Hongfei looked at the mountains in the distance.

"I have your worries, hundreds of thousands of Kuomintang troops have been driven to the south bank of the Yellow River, and our troops now going south are only a few thousand, and our strength is indeed too thin. After the last battle, many soldiers had opinions on going south to establish a base area, and everyone thought that Zhongtiao Mountain was the place of the four wars, and hundreds of thousands of Kuomintang people could not stay, so how could we stand still, and the soldiers were a little lacking in confidence. “

"Well, after the troops went south, there were several tough battles in a row, and it was indeed not easy to fight, and it is understandable that the soldiers had opinions in their hearts. However, since the headquarters ordered us to go south, then we must have the strategic idea of the headquarters, and no matter how difficult it is, we must find a way to firmly nail it into this Zhongtiao Mountain area like a nail. “

Looking at the reckless mountains and rivers, Lei Wancheng suddenly swept away the previous decline and said arrogantly.

……

……

Two days later, at midnight.

To the west of Wujiapu Village, Wu Wengui's mansion, which occupies more than a dozen acres of land, was silent at this time.

Occasionally, a few dogs barked, and several guards in gray coats walked back and forth on the courtyard wall of the Wu family with rifles on their backs, watching the darkness in the distance vigilantly.

At this time, Wu Wengui's family, which was a great monk, was already in darkness in the entire Wujiabao Village.

There is no way, the common people can't afford to eat oil, how can they have the money to light the lamp.

Under the darkness like thick ink, a little cold light was faintly reflected on the field. In the fields two miles west of the village, Yang Chenghu and the soldiers of the special battalion have been lurking here for more than three hours.

After nightfall, Yang Chenghu quickly led people to Wujiabao Village according to the plan discussed with Shen Cunzhi during the day. Then with the help of darkness, it lurked two miles away from the gate of the Wu family's backyard.

According to the plan discussed with Nei Ying in advance, at half past one in the morning, Nei Ying would use the time of the changing of the guard to open the small door in the backyard of the Wu family. And hang a lamp outside the door as a signal to do it.

In order to strengthen the law and order of this generation, the Japanese stationed a Qingxiang plainclothes team in Fanjiazhuang Village, north of Wujiapu Village, and less than eight miles away from Wujiabao, the Japanese also built a gun tower, in which a reinforced platoon of more than 30 puppet soldiers was stationed for a long time, and it was equipped with telephones.

Not only that, more than 20 miles north of Wujiabao is the county seat of Jiangxian County, where there is a devil squadron and a puppet army garrison. Once the news of someone's attack reached the county seat, the Japanese puppet army would arrive at the latest in two hours, and it might be faster if they took a car.

According to the battle plan, an hour before the attack was sent, the second company would cut the telephone line of the turret, so that they could not contact the Japanese puppet army in the city at the first time.

If they dared to attack Wujiabao to increase their strength or try to go to the county seat to ask for help, then the task of the second company was to block them back.

……

At one o'clock in the morning, Yang Chenghu rubbed his eyes.

"Give it all to me, keep your eyes open, there's still half an hour, get ready for battle!"

At the sound of the order, the soldiers woke up from their rest and carefully checked their weapons and ammunition.

"Company commander, I see that the time is almost up, or let's touch a few hundred meters further."

The dog pulled out his two box cannons, licked his chapped lips, and leaned over to Yang Chenghu and said.

"Well, you take two people to explore the path first, be careful."

"Okay."

Ten minutes later, several bird calls were heard.

"Stand up and follow me ahead of your step."

Hula, more than fifty soldiers stood up almost instantly, and trotted briskly with this Yang Chenghu.

Time was running out, and Yang Chenghu trotted with his steps while staring closely at the dark shadow of the Wu family's compound in the distance.

Boom ......!

Suddenly, there was a loud bang in Wujiabao, which was silent not far away!

In the darkness, a bright flame rose into the air, and the huge fireball was very obvious in the night!

"Stop moving forward......

The sudden explosion made Yang Chenghu, who was tense all over, almost jump up, and without saying a word, he roared and stopped the advancing team.

Before Yang Chenghu could figure out what happened to the ground, with a burst of shouts and killings, a dense gunfire immediately came.

Looking at the skyrocketing firelight and fierce gunfire in the distance, Yang Chenghu frowned.

What the fuck is going on? Could it be that there are other people eyeing the Wu family?!

At this moment, the dog ran back with two people out of breath.

"Something happened to the battalion commander."

"Bring five people and figure out what's going on."

Looking at the dog who also looked puzzled, Yang Chenghu said with a cold face.

Nodding silently, the dog quickly nodded a few people and escaped into the darkness.

……

In the Liushuhe stronghold near Wujiabao, the sudden explosion and gunfire completely blew up the puppet army in the stronghold.

Several puppet soldiers even stood by the telephone, constantly calling the Japanese puppet army telecommunications office in the city.

Outside the stronghold, Shen Cunzhi was also startled by the explosion in the direction of Wujiabao and the sound of gunfire. Although he knew that the spy battalion would move immediately, Shen Cunzhi never expected Yang Chenghu to make such a big move.

"Is this Yang Chenghu crazy! Hit a landlord's compound is earth-shattering, and those who don't know think he went to fight the devil's turret. ”

"Company commander, the puppet army seems to be coming out!"

Seeing more than a dozen puppet soldiers pouring out of the stronghold, a sharp-eyed warrior hurriedly shouted:

"Ready for battle!"

With Shen Cunzhi's order, the fifty soldiers of the second company took out bullets from the bullet belt and began to load.

In order to prevent the new fighters from delaying the big event due to nervousness, Shen Cunzhi ordered that everyone must empty their guns before the battle began.

On the side of the stronghold, more than a dozen puppet soldiers lit seven or eight torches under the leadership of a deputy platoon commander, hastily removed the barricades at the entrance of the stronghold, and prepared to go to Wujiabao to check the situation and send people to the city to report the news.

Just as the puppet soldiers walked up to the drawbridge on the periphery of the stronghold, a dense row of bullets immediately hit them!

……

To be continued, ask for collection, ask for recommendation!
