Seeing that the Japanese army's defense of the barracks was still relatively tight, Tangshan Leopard turned his head and asked the soldiers in a low voice: "Can you bypass here?" The soldiers thought for a while and replied: "Brigade seat, it's okay to go around, but it takes three more hours to walk." Tangshan Leopard looked at his watch and said, "Time is not enough, we must take this barracks, you are monitoring the barracks here, I will go back and discuss." With that, he turned and walked towards the troops.

Back in the army, Tangshan Leopard called Li Li and Sun Linhai, the two regiment commanders, told them about the situation, and then said: "Time does not allow us to detour, now we have to capture this military camp without alarming the Japanese army in Zhennanguan, it will be a very difficult task, you go and select fifty good men each, and follow me to attack the military camp." ”

Li Li hurriedly said: "Brigade seat, no one dares to guarantee that this operation is foolproof, you better stay outside and command the overall situation, and I will lead the team to attack the Japanese military camp!" Tangshan Leopard thought for a while and said: "If we alarm the Japanese army, we will quickly take this military camp, and then storm Zhennan Pass." In this way, let Zhao Qi, the commander of the second battalion of the second regiment with the best kung fu, lead the team to attack, and Li Li, you lead the second regiment to prepare for the attack, in case of change, your second regiment will capture this military camp in the shortest possible time. ”

After finishing speaking, he said to Sun Linhai: "After the situation changes, the second regiment attacks the Japanese military camp, you take the third regiment to follow me to immediately attack Zhennan Pass, and take Zhennan Pass before the Japanese army can react." Li Li and Sun Linhai replied at the same time: "Yes, brigade!" Then Zhao Qi, the commander of the second battalion, was called over, Tangshan Leopard personally assigned Zhao Qi a task, and Zhao Qi excitedly went to pick someone.

At five o'clock, a hundred soldiers selected by Zhao Qi lurked outside the Japanese barracks, they chose a direction, quietly climbed under the barbed wire, cut the barbed wire, and climbed into the barracks. Behind the hillside not far outside the barracks, the officers and men of Tangshan Leopard and the two regiments lurked quietly here, and they were all ready to respond. More than a dozen light and heavy machine guns, as well as more than 20 snipers and snipers, all aimed at their respective targets.

Tangshan Leopard's heart was also a little nervous, and he held a telescope and observed the situation in the barracks motionlessly. After Zhao Qi led the team to infiltrate the Japanese barracks, the team of 100 people immediately dispersed, and several people in small groups rushed towards their respective targets. Zhao Qi himself led ten good players and sneaked towards a patrol.

A patrol of the Japanese army was six people, and the four patrols were targeted by four groups at the same time, as well as a team dedicated to dealing with the guard tower, a group specializing in dealing with the guard at the gate, and a group blocking the camp tent. Zhao Qi saw that all the groups were in place, and made a secret signal, and all the groups acted almost at the same time. Everyone crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers, using flying knives, crossbows, and directly touching them, and saw the Japanese soldiers in the barracks falling silently one by one, at most they let out a muffled snort.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Tangshan Leopard, who was staring at the barracks, suddenly saw the agreed signal, and Tangshan Leopard couldn't help but wave his fist excitedly and said: "Zhao Qi did a really good job! Little Japan has been solved." After speaking, he waved his hand and took the lead towards the barracks. As soon as he walked to the door, Zhao Qi greeted him with a few people, and said after saluting the Tangshan leopard: "Brigade, Zhao Qi has completed the task and is here to report!"

Tangshan Leopard returned the military salute, and praised with some excitement: "Good boy, good job, I will ask the military seat for credit to you when I go back!" Zhao Qi smiled and said: "Brigade seat, this is a military warehouse of the Japanese army, there are not many Japanese soldiers, and there are only a few dozen people in a small team, all of whom were killed by us." Tangshan Leopard was surprised: "What?munitions warehouse?Take me to see it!"

Under the leadership of Zhao Qi, Tangshan Leopard took a turn in the barracks, and it was really a warehouse, only three tents were occupied by soldiers, and the rest of the tents were stacked with food, clothing and other military supplies, and even some oil just without weapons and ammunition. Seeing that the time had reached six o'clock in the morning and the sky was bright, Tangshan Leopard left a platoon to guard the warehouse, and then led the troops to Zhennanguan.

Soon, the Tangshan leopard came to a place only three hundred meters away from the Zuofushan Fort in the south of the town and lurked. Tangshan Leopard ordered the troops to remain silent, and then asked the radio to send a telegram to the headquarters, reporting that the headquarters had arrived at Zhennan Pass and would launch an attack on Zhennan Pass at the appointed time. After giving the order, Tangshan Leopard raised his binoculars and observed Zhennan Pass.

Zhennan Pass is one of the nine famous passes in our country, the pass building is sandwiched between two mountains, the city wall on both sides is like a giant python to connect the foot of the two mountains, the momentum is magnificent. On the left, there is the highest point, the Zuofushan Battery, which was built in the Qing Dynasty, the old artillery has been nowhere to be found, and now the Japanese army has established an artillery position here, with eighteen 75 caliber mountain guns, in addition to the artillery, there is also an infantry squad to serve as a guard and escort mission.

There was about a squadron of Japanese soldiers on the tower in the distance, and several heavy machine guns were mounted on the women's wall, and the muzzles of the guns were all facing the road below the pass. Several Type 92 infantry guns and mortars were lined up on the wall, and the muzzles of the guns were also facing the road below. Tangshan Leopard carefully observed and judged that the strength of the Japanese army in Zhennanguan was about one infantry brigade plus a mountain artillery squadron, with a strength of about 1,500 people.

However, Tangshan Leopard thought about how to take over the Japanese artillery position, this march, the artillery in the troops could not be carried, and now the two regiments together only have 120 caliber heavy mortars and 36 mortars of other calibers, and the artillery shells are not sufficient. If we can take over the dozen or so mountain guns of the Japanese army, then we will be much more sure of dealing with the main force of the Japanese army.

Thinking of this, Tangshan Leopard called Li Li, the commander of the Second Regiment, and pointed to the Japanese artillery position and said to Li Li: "Li Li, give you a task, at the beginning of the battle, go all out to Lao Tzu to capture the Japanese artillery position, pay attention not to destroy those artillery, Lao Tzu wants those artillery to be of great use!" Li Li held the telescope and observed the Japanese artillery position for a while, shook his head and said: "Brigade seat, there is difficulty." If you don't need artillery, you can easily take this position with a single blow of artillery fire, but ......"

Tangshan Leopard was anxious when he heard this, Li Li saw that Tangshan Leopard was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "But it's not that I can't take it down, but I have to send some people to the brigade." Tangshan Leopard glared at this and said: "Okay, you Li Li, dare to play Lao Tzu, I'll clean you up after the battle, say, who do you want?" Li Li stopped joking, and said with a straight face: "Brigade seat, you have to send me all the snipers and strikers." ”

Tangshan Leopard was stunned for a moment, then understood, nodded approvingly and said: "Okay, all the adjustments will be allocated to you, but you kid must hand over these dozen Japanese mountain guns to Lao Tzu in good condition, understand?" Li Li nodded and said: "Don't worry, Brigade Seat! I promise to hand over a lot of these dozen mountain guns to you." Then Li Li turned around and left, and went to find those snipers and strikers to arrange tasks.

In Pingxiang's headquarters, at six o'clock in the morning, the confidential officer hurriedly rushed into the conference room where Wang Haitao was located, and reported loudly: "Report to the military seat, the commander of the Tangshan Leopard Brigade of the Guard Brigade has called." Wang Haitao stood up and took the telegram, looked at it at a glance, and after reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Su Zuxin, who was watching him: "The two regiments of Tangshan Leopards have arrived at Zhennan Pass, and they can launch a surprise attack on Zhennan Pass at the designated time. After hearing this, Su Zuxin couldn't help but say: "Great, now you can launch an attack on time!"

Wang Haitao looked at his watch and said to Su Zuxin: "The order goes down, and the heavy artillery brigade will launch an artillery bombardment of the Japanese position on time at eight o'clock, and after 20 minutes of shelling, the artillery fire will be extended, and the 211th Division and the armored brigade will all attack!" A loud answer came from the conference room: "Yes, military seats!" The order was transmitted to all units through various forms, and all the units that received the order were also making final preparations.

Tangshan Leopard also received an order from the command by telegram, he looked at his watch, there was still an hour and a half before eight o'clock, after a night of marching, Tangshan Leopard was also somewhat tired, and wanted to sleep for a while, but the battle that was about to come made him excited and couldn't sleep at all. From following the military seat to fight in the south and the north, this seems to be the first time to independently command the battle far away from the military seat, and this battle must be fought beautifully, so as to live up to the military seat and praise us as the elite of the whole army.

Thinking of this, the Tangshan leopard opened his eyes again, and called the commander of the third regiment, Sun Linhai, over, after the battle began, the second regiment was responsible for attacking the Zuofushan fort, and the target of the third regiment was the Zhennan Guancheng Tower. Instead of attacking the castle tower from the road below, you can attack the left wall of the Zhennan Pass Tower down along the Zuofushan Fort, so that you can avoid most of the Japanese firepower points and minimize the difficulty of the attack.

However, the Japanese army has a fortification between the Zuofushan Fort and the left wall of Guanlou, there is a squadron stationed there, and if you want to attack the left city wall, you must first conquer this defensive position, Tangshan Leopard called Sun Linhai to come over, just to hear what method Sun Linhai can use to take this defensive position in the shortest possible time.

Sun Linhai was the most stable of the three regiment commanders, and after listening to Tangshan Leopard's question, he replied unhurriedly: "Brigade seat, with the strength of our three regiments, it is still easy to deal with the position defended by a squadron of the Japanese army, and I am thinking about how to take this position quickly and with few casualties." ”

Sun Linhai's words aroused the interest of Tangshan Leopard, and Sun Linhai saw that Tangshan Leopard was listening to himself with great interest, so he continued: "I am going to mobilize all 120 caliber heavy mortars to bombard the city wall of Zhennanguan, suppress and destroy the Type 92 infantry guns and mortars on the city wall, so that it cannot attack my troops. As for the various machine-gun fire points on the defensive line, I am going to concentrate the 40 rocket launchers in the regiment to kill them, knock out these fire points, and then use small-caliber mortars and heavy machine guns to cover the soldiers' charge, I think I should be able to capture this defensive position with one charge. ”
