According to the plan, Commander He would send trucks to take Li Siwei's raiding party to Yingshan, join up with another engineering detachment, and then cross the Dabie Mountains from Yingshan, continue to infiltrate Anqing along the hilly area between Yuexi and Qianshan, and raid the Huolongwan Airport in the eastern suburbs of Anqing.

Everything went smoothly, the ten trucks arrived at the 66th Regiment station early in the morning and drove to Yingshan in batches, and the last truck that Li Siwei was riding in arrived at the assembly point in Yingshan at noon, where he saw the engineer detachment.

The engineer squad was the size of a platoon, but it was well equipped: electrical ignitions, conductive wires, axes, saws, hammers, shears, leather turbans, leather knee pads, and even two air compressors (which could shoot holes, saw, pierce, and inflat) on the backs of two tall horses...... In this era, it was the first time for Li Siwei to see such a well-equipped engineer unit, and he couldn't help but secretly admire, this is the real engineer unit!

The engineer company of the 66th Regiment had almost no other equipment except shovels, pickaxes, hand axes, and saws, and even most of these equipment were captured from the hands of the little devils!

As one of the five major arms of the army, the development of the engineering unit in China was relatively late, and it was not until 1931 that the Nationalist Government established the first engineering school in Nanjing. Therefore, there is a great shortage of professional engineering personnel within the national army.

Within the national army, the only professional field engineer units are the independent engineer regiments, which are directly subordinate to the Ministry of Military Affairs. Moreover, before the full-scale outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, there was only the 1st Independent Engineer Regiment. In the six months after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, four independent engineer regiments were hastily formed, including the second, third, fourth, and fifth. As for the engineer battalions and companies of the grassroots combat units, they are lacking in equipment and professional technology.

"Commander Li, this is Major Gu of the Fifth Independent Engineer Regiment." Staff Officer Zhang hurriedly greeted him, pointed to the officer at the head of the engineer squad and introduced, "The blasting task will be carried out by his squad!" ”

"Smack", Major Gu saluted Li Siwei, his face expressionless, "Hello sir!" ”

Major Gu was tall, with a resolute face and a dark complexion, and although he was saluting, he looked as if he was angry.

Li Siwei returned the salute with a "snap", "Hello Major Gu!" Hello brothers! ”

"Hello sir!" A group of sappers agreed with a bang.

"Good!" Li Siwei nodded, turned his head to look at Staff Officer Zhang, "Does Chief He have anything else to explain?" ”

Staff Officer Zhang's expression was solemn, "Chief He said that the heavy responsibility of the party-state has been entrusted to Commander Li and the brothers, and I hope that Commander Li and the brothers will not live up to the trust of the party-state!" ”

"Yes," Li Siwei's expression was solemn, his eyes were blazing, "Please tell Chief He that Li does not dare to live up to the trust of the party and the state!" ”

He was indeed forced to take on this task at that time, but when he learned about Chen Huaimin and Wang Lulu, his determination to complete this task was as solid as a rock!

"Good!" Staff Officer Zhang's spirits perked up, "I wish Commander Li and all the brothers success!" ”

Li Siwei nodded, turned his head and looked around at the raiding team, "The special service company opens the way, the engineer team follows up, and the second battalion assault company is behind!" ”

Liao Heiniu selected more than 100 brothers from the second battalion to form an assault company and personally led the team to participate in this mission.

"Yes!" Everyone agreed loudly, and immediately took action, and drove up the mountain road in a mighty way.

The figure of the raiding team had already disappeared on the path between the mountains, and Staff Officer Zhang retracted his gaze and sighed leisurely, "If our army has more fighters, why do you need to make such a decision?" ”

Since the Air Force can bomb the Japanese Songshan Airfield far away in Taiwan, it can naturally bomb the Anqing Airfield, but it is just ...... There are very few fighters in the Air Force!

The sun is shining, and the mountain trails are hidden in the dense forest, but they are not very hot.

The special service company opened the way in front, and Li Siwei followed in the team of the engineer squad, he planned to have a good chat with Major Gu, but when he saw Major Gu's expressionless face, he naturally didn't feel any mood.

During the break, Major Gu spoke first, still with a stiff face, but a pair of eyes stared at Li Siwei, "Sir, tell me the truth...... There was some certainty in this operation. ”

Li Siwei was stunned and smiled, "I told you that there are sixty percent, do you believe it?" ”

"Sixty percent?" Major Gu's tense black face finally changed, and his face was shocked, "How can there be sixty percent?" ”

Wu Ruolan also glanced at Li Siwei, and the surprise on her face flashed...... She didn't believe that she would be sixty percent sure, but, whatever! As long as you follow the head of the regiment, you can go anywhere!

Miao Zhenhua was not surprised...... What the head of the regiment says is always right!

Li Siwei patted Major Gu's shoulder, with a smile on his face, "Major Gu, actually...... You'll be handsome if you don't keep your face stiff! ”

"Huh?" Major Gu was stunned and couldn't laugh or cry, "Sir, are you making fun of me?" ”

Li Siwei shook his head, his expression was full, "Don't worry, Lao Tzu doesn't lie to his brother!" I'm 60% sure! As for...... Whether you can be a little more sure depends on God! ”

Major Gu shook his head, his face full of disbelief!

Li Siwei glanced at him, "You haven't fought before, have you?" ”

Major Gu was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "Sir, we are a field engineer unit, and we are also opening roads and bridges, removing obstacles, destroying bridges and roads, and building fortifications on the front line...... However, there really has never been a war. ”

"Oh," Li Siwei nodded, with a determined expression, "Then you don't understand!" The art of war is cloudy: all those who fight, with the right fit, with the odd victory. At this time, the little devil is complacent, where would he have thought that we would raid Anqing Airport at this time? With this, we also have a 30% chance of winning, right? ”

Major Gu glanced at Li Siwei suspiciously.

Li Siwei patted him on the shoulder, his face was serious, "Even if you don't believe me, you should believe the superiors above, right?" If they didn't have the slightest chance of winning, would they have made this plan? ”

Major Gu was stunned for a moment, and nodded slightly, "That's right...... But what about the three percent? ”

Li Siwei smiled, "There are millions of soldiers gathered on the battlefield in Wuhan, why did the commanders find us?" ”

Major Gu was stunned for a moment, but saw that Li Siwei was in high spirits and his voice was excited, "That means that they have confidence in us!" They felt that among the millions of soldiers, we were the most likely to accomplish this task! Hehe, the team carefully selected from millions of soldiers should have a 30% chance of winning, right? ”

After speaking, Li Siwei patted Major Gu on the shoulder again, "Isn't this a sixty percent chance of winning?" ”

Major Gu was stunned and smiled bitterly...... How do the odds work? Looking at the special service company and the assault company, they didn't even have a single heavy weapon that they could handle......

Seeing that Major Gu didn't react, Li Siwei slapped him on the shoulder again, "The engineer squad is only responsible for the blasting, and the other things include the special service company and the assault company...... Don't worry, I'll take you back alive! ”

Major Gu had no choice but to nod, "Yes!" But his heart was full of bitterness, and he went back alive...... It's so hard!

Li Siwei didn't care what he was thinking, and changed the topic with a smile, "What's your name?" Where are the people? ”

Major Gu smiled reluctantly, "The lowly position is called Gu Li, a native of Ba County!" Where is the chief from Sichuan? ”

Li Siwei was stunned, his face full of joy, "Ba County? You're from Ba County! Lao Tzu is a ...... of Jiangcheng Hehe, I met a fellow countryman! ”

"Hehe," Gu Li also showed a hint of a smile, "Actually, the humble position has long heard that the chief is also from Sichuan, but he didn't hear where the chief is from Sichuan." ”

Li Siwei patted Gu Li's shoulder and smiled, "Since you are also from Sichuan, Lao Tzu will not be polite to you!" Ask you a question, you must be honest with Lao Tzu! ”

Gu Li nodded briskly, "Hmm." ”

Li Siwei's expression was solemn, and his eyes were staring at him fiercely, "The plan says that there are two sets of blasting plans, which one do you say takes less time?" ”

Gu Li frowned and groaned slightly, "The first plan needs to blow up two embankments...... We have prepared two sets of equipment, and if we can find a suitable blasting point, we can carry out the blasting, which should be completed in about an hour. As for the second option, blow up the airfield directly...... It will definitely take less time, but the effect will be worse. ”

"Oh," Li Siwei nodded, frowning and groaning.

The plan has two sets of plans: the first plan needs to blow up the Guangjiwei embankment and the moat polder embankment, and use the river water to flood the airport; The second set of schemes is to enter the airport directly and carry out blasting.

The advantage of the first solution is that it is better to not have to enter the airport, but it will take longer to find the blasting point. The second set of options......

Li Siwei shook his head and stood up suddenly, "Let's go, let's go...... Find a place to stay before it gets dark! ”

As for...... Which set of solutions is being implemented? It's too early to think about it! After all, it is not an easy task to penetrate Anqing through the enemy war zone!

The crowd stood up and continued on their way.

After a few more ridges and mountains, it was sunset, and it was almost dusk!

Gu Li wiped his sweat, looked up at the sky, and sighed, "I'm afraid I'm going to sleep in the wilderness tonight......"

Hearing this, Li Siwei smiled, "It's not a big deal!" ”

Gu Li showed a wry smile, "I'm used to sleeping in the open air, but it's just ...... The mosquitoes in this mountain are so fierce! That guy pounced on himself at night and couldn't sleep at all. ”

Li Siwei was stunned for a moment and nodded, "That's really the case, but it's ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Huang Hua coming in a hurry, "Commander, why did you come here?" ”

Li Siwei glared at him, "You're in a hurry!" Lao Tzu is not engaged in a rush, what are you afraid of if you slow down? The key is to be hidden! What's going on? ”

Huang Hua sneered, "There is a village five miles to the southeast, but there are gunshots in that direction; There was also a village six miles to the north-east, and no one was found except for some villagers; No villages were found within six miles of due east......"

Before Huang Hua finished speaking, Li Siwei waved his hand, "Go to the northeast!" ”

"Yes!" Huang Hua agreed, and he was going to give the order.

Gu Li was stunned, "Sir, the target is in the southeast direction......"

Li Siwei glanced at him, "Lao Tzu knows!" Tell the brothers that it's nothing to go a little more wrong! It is important not to reveal your whereabouts! ”

Gu Li was stagnant, and the yellowing had already hurried away.

"Zhenhua!" Li Siwei turned his head and looked at Miao Zhenhua, "Go and tell Camp Commander Liao!" ”

"Yes!" Miao Zhenhua agreed and hurried away.

Li Siwei looked at Wu Ruolan again, Wu Ruolan walked on the mountain road for most of the day with a medicine box on her back, and her pretty face was already covered with beads of sweat...... Li Siwei suddenly felt a little distressed and a little guilty, and hurriedly went to get her medicine box, "Ruolan, give me the medicine box!" ”

The brothers are all fully armed, so naturally they can't carry the medicine box for Wu Ruolan, only he, the regiment commander, is the most relaxed, but he only cares about the road and forgets Wu Ruolan......

Wu Ruolan's face was overjoyed, but she hurriedly shook her head, "Leader, I'm fine!" ”

Li Siwei had already grabbed the strap, "Give it to me!" There are still five miles to go! ”

Wu Ruolan's already ruddy pretty face turned even redder, she tapped her head, let go of the medicine box, glanced at Li Siwei, and walked forward briskly. Although she has practiced kung fu, she is only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl after all, and her physical strength naturally can't catch up with these big men!

Li Siwei carried the medicine box on his back and was about to continue walking, but when he saw Gu Li looking at him with a deep face, he was stunned, "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Li smiled, "What a good girl!" It's a pity that we don't have it in our camp......"

Li Siwei's face turned red and glared at him, "Turtle'er, it's not what you think!" ”

Gu Li pretended to be surprised, "It wasn't what I thought...... What is that? ”

Li Siwei was stunned and speechless...... What is it? He found that even he didn't know what it was!

"Hehe," Grim laughed, "you're actually like a couple!" ”

Li Siwei was stunned for a moment, so he had to change the topic, "Turtle, Lao Tzu still thought you would only keep a straight face!" ”

He suddenly discovered that Gu Li was also very skinny!

"I like to keep a straight face?" Gu Li suddenly sighed, "Sir...... You don't know the situation of the engineer regiment! Humble duties can only be done in front of you, fellow countrymen! ”

"What's going on?" Li Siwei was a little curious, "Aren't they all my own brothers everywhere!" I think it's because your turtle is big and unsociable! ”

Gu Li shook his head, with a wry smile on his face, "Your own brother? If only they wanted to treat us Sichuan people as their own brothers! ”

Li Siwei was stunned for a moment and patted him on the shoulder, "I'm afraid of a hammer!" If you don't have a good time in the engineering regiment, you will come and do it with Lao Tzu! ”

Gu Li was stunned, "Follow you?" ”

Li Siwei nodded, "Yes!" Follow Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu also has an engineer company...... Of course, you have to think that the company commander is too small......"

Gu Li hurriedly shook his head, "It's not small, it's not small...... If I can make it back alive, I'll do it with you!" Just be the commander of the engineer company! ”

"Okay!" Li Siwei was full of joy...... Luo Ping'an is a good hand at charging into battle, but the engineer company commander is still a little difficult.

Gu Li sighed softly, "Then you have to be able to go back alive!" ”

Li Siwei laughed, "You turtle, don't be so pessimistic, didn't Lao Tzu say it?" Lao Tzu has at least a 60% chance of winning......"

Gu Li shook his head, looked at Li Siwei and smiled bitterly, "The odds of winning are not like that!" Sir, in fact, I am a major and deputy battalion commander, and there are many people in the regiment who are more suitable for this task than me, why did you let me come? Not all of them feel hopeless! ”

"Don't worry! When you meet Lao Tzu, the odds are there! Li Siwei's expression was fierce and high-spirited, but he was secretly shocked in his heart: It seems that the water of the Independent Engineer Regiment is very deep!

Perhaps infected by Li Siwei's high-spirited appearance, Gu Li was also in good spirits, "Sir, I believe you!" ”

"Let's go!" Li Siwei nodded, strode forward, "Go to the village, Lao Tzu will change your clothes!" ”
