The hard hooves of the horses raised the snow powder into chaos, and the three war horses, one red, one black and one brown, went straight to Dongye.

Under the leadership of the signal soldiers, Yue Siliang and Lei Zi came to the brigade headquarters, and when they arrived in front of the brigade headquarters, Yue Siliang and Lei Zi hurriedly reined in and sat down on their war horses, and they neighed and screamed, and the red and black war horses stood upright on the street.

"Gada, Gada......"

The sturdy horses paced a few steps slowly, and the horse's hooves made a pleasant sound against the stone slabs on the ground.

"What a beautiful horse!"

The guards standing guard at the brigade headquarters couldn't help but secretly admire in their hearts. The reception of the brigade headquarters had already stepped forward, and the horses of the two were led to replenish the fodder, not to mention.

Yue Siliang and Lei Zi tightened their coats and walked towards the brigade commander's headquarters.

"Eh, which part of this is this, sir? It looks so majestic, it's really impressive. ”

After Yue Siliang had already walked away, the guard standing guard pulled the messenger over and asked curiously.

"You don't even know that? This is the head of the 424th regiment. ”

The correspondent is a veteran, and he naturally has a sense of pride in this new recruit.

"Oh! This is the head of Yue who turned the Lingqiu upside down! It looks so majestic, when will I be able to ...... like Captain Yue?"

The new recruit began to think about it, and the correspondent looked at him with disdain.

"You rookie egg, you know how to think about good things in a day. The head of the Yue regiment has participated in the Long March seriously, and when we were in the base area, this head Yue was a man of the hour. ”

The correspondent said in a matter-of-fact manner, and the little soldier standing guard immediately looked at him with admiration, and there was a flattering smile on his face.

"You know so much, tell me about it."

The soldiers who were standing guard on both sides also looked over to this side, and unconsciously formed a circle, these recruits who had just joined the army all wanted to hear about Yue Siliang, and now the correspondent was even more bullish, and his jaw was eager to rise to the sky.

"Want to hear it? I'll wait until I'm done and I'm done. ”

……

Not to mention the chatter of the recruits, when Yue Siliang walked into the brigade commander's headquarters, the brigade commander Yuan Qing was discussing something with several other cadres of the brigade headquarters.

"Yue Siliang, you're here, sit down."

As soon as Brigade Commander Yuan Qing saw him come in, he smiled and said hello and motioned for him to sit down.

"I called you over this time, because I have a task entrusted to your regiment. How's it going to be in Hexi Village? ”

Brigade Commander Yuanqing asked casually, and Yue Siliang put the teacup in his hand aside.

"I said this morning that there is probably going to be a battle soon, and it seems that my mouth is more intelligent than the mage of Wutai Mountain. Brigade Commander, my team is rested and ready to go into battle at any time. ”

Yue Siliang said this, and Brigade Commander Yuan Qing laughed at that time.

"I almost forgot, your regiment is now the rich man of our brigade, and it belongs to the rich oil of your regiment. Since you've said so, you're welcome. ”

When Brigade Commander Yuanqing said this, Yue Siliang knew in his heart at the time, it seemed that their regiment was afraid that there would be another tough battle to fight next.

"I specially called you over today, just to talk to you first, the division commander values you very much, I remember that when I didn't cross the Yellow River, the division commander once told me that your regiment is the fish intestine sword of our brigade, since the division commander has said so, if I don't use it well, it won't be a tyrannical thing."

As he spoke, the brigade commander showed Yue Siliang a map. This is a relatively small scale map, and the situation map of the entire Jin-Cha-Ji region is drawn on it. On this map, the three provinces of Shanxi, Hebei, and Chahar are arranged in a zigzag pattern, and on the map of these three provinces, three lines are drawn to form a right-angled triangle. Yue Siliang clearly saw the three vertices of this triangle: Taiyuan, Wanquan and Shimen.

Looking at these three positions, Yue Siliang had roughly guessed the plans of the deputy division commander and brigade commander.

The Japanese army occupied Taiyuan, and the Jin Sui army retreated to the west of Jin, and their Eighth Route Army also mainly engaged in guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines with the Japanese army, and did not have enough strength to engage in a frontal battle with the Japanese army for the time being. In this way, the biggest problem facing the Japanese army is not in the frontal battlefield, but in how to digest the occupied territories.

Shanxi has been operating in the hands of Yan Xishan for so many years, and the wealth accumulated in Taiyuan City can be imagined, and the Taiyuan Arsenal alone is enough to make the little devil wake up with a smile in his dreams. That is to say, from the perspective of the little devils, what they need to do most now is to find a way to gain a foothold in Shanxi and strengthen their control over the whole of Shanxi, and the other is to open up Shanxi and Hebei and connect their occupied areas.

And these two things boil down to the specific implementation, in fact, one thing: that is, to firmly control the traffic in Shanxi.

Only by mastering the transportation system can we more effectively radiate the surrounding areas. Similarly, if you want to open up the two provinces of Shanxi and Hebei, the railway must be in your hands. The railway in Shanxi, for various reasons, has a narrower track width than the standard gauge, which is not conducive to the connection and communication with other provinces.

So a term suddenly popped up in Yue Siliang's mind: Zhengtai Railway.

This is arguably the most important railway in North China, and it is conceivable that the Japanese will definitely pursue absolute control over this railway. In modern warfare, railways are one of the most important forms of transportation for an army, and it can be said that the army can fight wherever the railways lead.

"Brigade Commander, are we aiming at the Zhengtai Railway?"

Yue Siliang said confidently. Before the brigade commander could say it explicitly, he guessed in his heart.

"You're not slow in your brain, you'll know as soon as I show you this map."

Seeing that Yue Siliang could have such a keen insight, the brigade commander immediately burst out laughing.

"Ask the strings and know the meaning, I am a soldier brought out by you, and I still have this insight."

Yue Siliang also had a smile on his face, and the two of them, together with some other cadres from the brigade headquarters, discussed in a cheerful atmosphere. Speaking of which, Yue Siliang is indeed deeply valued by the Yuanqing Brigade Commander, when Yue Siliang just participated in the revolution, he entered the Yuanqing Brigade Commander's team, and he learned many things on the battlefield with the Yuanqing Brigade Commander, and it is precisely because of this that his combat style is so similar to the Yuanqing Brigade Commander.

"Zhengtai Railway, east from Zhengding, Hebei, west to Taiyuan, Shanxi. In the middle through one of the eight Taihang Jing Cheng, like a big flat Dan will be Jin and Hebei two places to provoke, after the end of the battle in Taiyuan, the devil in the railway along the Yangquan, Niangzi Pass, Jing Cheng area continued to increase troops. It is clear that the railway is completely in their own hands.

After the White Horse helped you break through, the deputy division commander had already studied with me, and you must not let the little devil control the railway so easily! ”

Brigade Commander Yuan Qing made a mark on the map, and also explained it to Yue Siliang. Yue Siliang's face also became solemn.

There is no need to elaborate on how important the Zhengtai Railway is, if the devils control it, the devils in Hebei will be able to transport them to Shanxi in large quantities, and the resources of Shanxi will also be transported out in large quantities.

"That's right, if that's the case, it's a big problem. Brigade commander, you can speak, where will our regiment fight? ”

"According to the intelligence, four days later, a group of devils will enter Shanxi from the Zhengtai Railway, including not only devil soldiers, but also some devil experts and exploration and prospecting machines. The train they were on would be shut down for a while. Our plan is to seize this opportunity and destroy these devils!

What I suggested to the deputy division commander and I in this battle was that your regiment should fight this first position. The rest of the main forces in the brigade are here to cover for you. Do you have any questions? ”

The brigade commander spoke simply and directly, and spoke to Yue Siliang first. It makes sense for him to think like this, the 424th Regiment is not the most combat-effective regiment in the whole brigade, but it is the fastest in the whole brigade in terms of reaction speed.

This combat style is a match made in heaven for ambush warfare, so Brigade Commander Yuanqing suggested that other brother troops should set up the stage and let the 424th Regiment sing a big horn.
