Saying this, Yuan Pengfei was also a little embarrassed, the timeliness of the information three months ago was indeed a little poor.

However, the two of them are not the kind of people who only complain, and the fact that the situation has not been confirmed shows that there is hope.

"Correspondent, bring me Wang Laoliu!"

"Yes."

Yuan Pengfei drank a little wine while watching Zhang Dabiao assign tasks to his reconnaissance squad leader.

The cavalry reconnaissance of a distance of a hundred miles can be completed in two days as fast as possible. Whether this piece of fat can fall into their mouths depends on whether this reconnaissance squad can bring good news.

"Scout squad leader Wang Lao Liu." Yuan Pengfei picked up a bowl of wine and handed it to him, "Do you have the confidence to complete this mission?" ”

"Give us one more day, Huangping Town is 20 miles away, as long as these two devils are here, we will definitely be able to find them!" Wang Laoliu said very firmly.

Zhang Dabiao also admired the firm belief of his subordinates, "The second battalion commander gave you a drink of celebration wine in advance, you're welcome!" ”

Wang Laoliu picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, "Battalion commander, second battalion commander, wait for my good news." ”

Looking at the back of Wang Laoliu leaving, Yuan Pengfei had an indescribable envy in his heart, and the first battalion was a bit of a foundation in the end. A scout cavalry squad, this reconnaissance range has more than doubled.

And the scouts of the second battalion still ran on two legs. Although there are a few warriors who are also known as Scuds, how can they compare to the speed of the war horse!

When this batch of horses came back, he also asked the reconnaissance squad to change shotguns and upgrade a little.

Zhang Dabiao: "Come on, come on, drink one for you when you return from studying at the division." ”

Yuan Pengfei also replied: "Drink one for a battalion to break through the 550-person mark." ”

Drinking small wine, eating delicious food, plus chatting, bragging, and business blowing to each other. After a while, a bottle of Fenjiu was wiped out.

The two of them drank half a catty, Zhang Dabiao was only slightly drunk, and Yuan Pengfei was a little drunk.

He asked drunkenly: "If you want to say that the most well-informed person in the whole group, you must be Lao Zhang." The head of the regiment showed his mouth today, and he had the idea of cleaning up the little devils. I don't know if you, Lao Zhang, are you the most well-informed one? ”

"You, you!" Zhang Dabiao pointed at him and said helplessly: "There are so many flowers, they have learned to set my words." ”

Yuan Pengfei rolled his eyes and complained: "Didn't you learn this from your old Zhang, and you haven't graduated yet!" If the head of the regiment asks you to keep it a secret, then it goes without saying.

If the head of the regiment doesn't let you keep it a secret, then satisfy your brother's curiosity! I promise to keep my mouth shut and will never tell the commissar. ”

Zhang Dabiao was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Actually, there is nothing to hide, remember the Shanbai stronghold in the west?" ”

How could Yuan Pengfei, the stronghold of Shanbai, forget that he had specially led people to investigate before.

This stronghold is an extension of the rule of the little devil county, and there is an infantry squadron stationed, nearly more than two hundred genuine little devils, and a company of puppet troops to cooperate.

With the strength of a battalion, even if it was an ambush to fight devils, the gains outweighed the losses, and Yuan Pengfei gave up directly at the beginning.

Zhang Dabiao fiddled with the peanut shell and explained to Yuan Pengfei: "If it was placed in the past, it would be impossible for the regiment commander to touch him idlely."

But this time, the devils transported a batch of supplies to this stronghold, guns, ammunition, cloth, military uniforms, food and drink, everything they need. ”

Yuan Pengfei frowned, a little puzzled. These supplies are indeed a good motivation for the independent regiment.

But this risk and benefit are somewhat disproportionate, the nearest county town is stationed with two squadrons of little devils, plus the Imperial Association army has seven or eight hundred people, if you need reinforcements, it will take less than two hours to arrive.

The Japanese puppet army in the Shanbai stronghold added up to more than 300 people, even if they managed to mobilize some, the rest of the people relied on complete fortifications, which was also a hard nut to bite.

This is absolutely unreasonable for Li Yunlong, who has always only taken advantage and refused to suffer.

Zhang Dabiao: "Actually, looting materials is only part of the reason. At the beginning of spring this year, in the southeast of Shanxi, the little devils have not yet carried out a big sweep.

In the Jizhong Plain, northwest Jin, and Ganshan regions, the devils all launched a spring sweep, but they were all crushed by our heroic Eighth Route Army soldiers. ”

"You're saying the devils will launch an unprecedented sweep?"

Yuan Pengfei was even more puzzled, he remembered that this sweep was in the winter of 42, and the intensity was unprecedentedly large, and after the breakthrough was stabilized, only half of the independent regiment remained.

But now it's only July, two months before the autumn harvest, and four months before the winter sweep.

He never felt that he was so powerful that he could influence the Japanese battle plan in a region. So the devils hoarded supplies, probably just to prepare for the sweep four months later.

Zhang Dabiao drank a bowl of wine and said: "Last time we killed the officer corps of the devils, the boss said that it was equivalent to destroying the 50,000 army of the devils.

You also know the nature of the little devil, to hold grudges. You pull out two strongholds in front of him, and he will sweep you up behind. That time we slipped away quickly, and the little devil couldn't find a chance to take revenge on us.

So the regiment commander suspects that the little devil is brewing a bigger move, preparing for a crazy revenge. The regiment commander meant, clean him up first, and try it.

It's better to be able to beat his intentions, but if you can't beat his intentions, you have to dissipate the surrounding threats somewhat, so you can't be beaten passively! ”

With that, everything becomes clear.

Li Yunlong's dog nose smelled the enemy's intentions again. I'm going to play a dozen to test my thoughts, and by the way, I will beat the rabbit with grass and give the independent regiment commander a fat.

This also saves Yuan Pengfei the foreshadowing of early warning, and when the conditions are almost the same, he can also reasonably put forward an analysis of the devil's sweep, so that all aspects of the Eighth Route Army can prepare in advance.

As for why he hid it from the political commissar, there is no way to do it. According to Li Yunlong's words, Zhao Gang read a small radio in Yanjing, and he specialized in making small reports.

The brigade headquarters is more than 100 miles away from the station of the independent regiment, which is a day's work, and the next day the news can be returned.

Once the matter reaches the brigade commander, it will be a little difficult to clean up. The friendly regiment grabbed the main attack, or the brigade commander directly strictly forbade it, and Li Yunlong's efforts during this period of time were in vain.

According to Li Yunlong's idea, that is, the battle plan should be finalized first, and then it should be reported to the brigade headquarters for instructions, and the process should be followed.

At that time, the brigade commander just wants to change generals on the spot, and I'm afraid it will be difficult. I can only try my best to coordinate with other troops, wipe Li Yunlong's buttocks, and make his operation successful.

As for the punishment, is Li Yunlong too much?

It can be said that he has already made experience in doing this kind of thing that is cut first and then played. Concealed from Zhao Gang and mobilized the brigade headquarters, he was better than the brigade commander.
