A few days later, Wang Ping appeared outside the independent brigade station with the guard regiment that had not yet fully formed its combat effectiveness.

"Old regimental commander, I have already received orders from military districts and military divisions! From now on, all the independent brigades are under your command, and I will be your deputy! I really didn't expect that we would have the opportunity to work together! As soon as he saw Wang Ping, Cheng Xiao rushed over excitedly.

There are many unfamiliar faces in the Independent Brigade Department, and Wang Ping knows less than 20%.

Except for a few acquaintances, everyone else stared at Wang Ping with a puzzled expression, not knowing what kind of ability this young man could make his brigade commander so complimentary.

Cheng Xiao was obviously old, and he frowned and scolded: "What are you doing in a daze, he is the old head of the Independent Regiment, if it weren't for him, our Independent Brigade would not be where it is today." What to do, but from now on, if anyone dares to disobey the order of the old regiment commander, or disobey the yin and yang, they will be dealt with directly according to the battlefield disobedience! ”

After speaking, Cheng Xiao took Wang Ping to his office.

"Old regiment commander, this is the current strength and equipment of the independent brigade!"

"The total strength is seven thousand, two thousand for each regiment, and the remaining more than a thousand are directly subordinate troops!"

"Each regiment has a mortar company, and the brigade headquarters is directly subordinate to an artillery battalion, including a field artillery company, two mountain artillery batteries. In addition, the heavy artillery company directly under the military sub-district is also under our control! ”

Wang Pingshun handed back the list with his hand: "You said this, I have learned all about it in the military sub-district, don't talk nonsense, go straight to the point!" ”

"The biggest problem we are facing now is how to send so many equipment and troops to the far outside of the city day and night!"

In order to avoid the plan to attack Taiyuan City being known to the Japanese army in advance, in the entire military region, except for a few commanders, only Wang Ping and Cheng Xiao were left to know.

The first two military divisions, because there was no need to directly attack Taiyuan City, the true purpose of this operation was not passed on.

Here, because the Independent Brigade is on the front line of the fight against the Japanese puppet army, it is inevitable that there will be Japanese puppet army intelligence personnel in the troops. In order to prevent the Japanese army from knowing in advance, only Cheng Xiao knew about it before the official attack.

Listening to Wang Ping's worries, Cheng Xiao quickly spread out a map and analyzed: "The fastest path is to go back to Wutai first, go to Xinzhou through Wutai, and then directly touch the north gate of Taiyuan City!" ”

"There is no problem on the way to Wutai, they are all base areas, the mass foundation is good, and we can bypass the county towns where many devils are stationed along the way, but the only problem is this section of Xinzhou."

"As the northern gate of Taiyuan City, the Japanese army has always stationed a field infantry wing in Xinzhou, and there are also three regiments of the Imperial Cooperative Army, with a total strength of more than 7,000 people."

"In addition, in order to ensure the safety of the north gate of Taiyuan City, the devil also built a large number of turrets around Xinzhou to completely block the north gate of Taiyuan City!"

"We want to quietly pass through the devil's blockade in Xinzhou, it's almost impossible!"

"Then call it!" Wang Ping replied in surprise.

"That's not a scareless snake!" Cheng Xiao immediately raised his concerns.

"No, as long as the devils don't find our main force, the Japanese will at most treat him as an ordinary military operation!"

"Unless the Japanese get definite news from us, they will definitely not believe that our Eighth Route Army is going to attack Taiyuan City!"

Cheng Xiao immediately understood: "Old regiment leader, what do you mean is to send a regiment to attack a stronghold in Xinzhou, and after attracting the attention of the devils, the main force quickly passes through the blockade line!" ”

"As long as the troops we have drawn cannot threaten Xinzhou City, the Japanese will not think that our real purpose is to attack too far!"

"This method is good, but in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, it is best for the attacking troops to take the two bases of the Japanese puppet army and expand the breakthrough of the main force. After dawn, the attacking troops quickly retreated, assuming the posture that we were looking for them to train! ”

After five days of day and night, the arsenal guard regiment, which needed to train the troops the most, finally found a Japanese puppet military base less than 30 kilometers away from Xinzhou City, under the command of Yang Xiong.

For the first time, Chief of Staff Yang Xiong independently commanded so many troops to conduct operations, although it was only a training exercise, opening a breakthrough in the blockade line of the Japanese puppet army. But Yang Xiong is still very nervous and excited.

"Comrades, according to the information provided by the regiment commander, we must pull out the bases on both sides of the road, but we must not let the devils think that we want to open a breakthrough on their blockade line and cover the purpose of the main force passing through the breakthrough. Let's talk about how we should fight this battle! ”

Some people say direct attack, some people say encirclement and reinforcements...... However, several methods were denied by Yang Xiong.

Just when everyone was at a loss and fell into deep thought, Yang Xiong pointed to one on the map and said, "Comrades, the head of the regiment has already thought of it for us. ”

"All the methods we just proposed are not as safe as the head of the regiment said!"

"Zhouzhuang is the largest of the seven or eight devil bases around, and it is also the material supply base for these surrounding bases. If we attack here and take these two small strongholds, the little devils will see this attack as our eyes on the supplies and ammunition they have hoarded in Zhouzhuang, and will not think that we want to break through their blockade line. ”

"The devil stationed a reinforced infantry squadron in Zhouzhuang, and a battalion of the Imperial Allied Army. The surrounding people are all devil squads, and the puppet army has a platoon to a company! ”

"The first battalion, with all the troops directly under the regiment, attacked Zhouzhuang, and put on a posture that we must take Zhouzhuang. Of course, in the end, if you can take it down, you can take it down, and if you can't take it down, forget it, but you must control the casualties of the troops! ”

"Can you use a Flying Thunder Cannon?" Hong Tao stared at Yang Xiong and asked rhetorically.

"Yes! Flying thunder cannons are no secret to devils! Yang Xiong affirmed.

Then he continued to order: "The devils of the two bases along the highway will definitely send troops to reinforce Zhouzhuang, and the second battalion will take the company as a unit, eat these reinforcements, and then take these two strongholds!" ”

"Three battalions, block or ambush the reinforcements coming from Xinzhou City!"

The "boom, boom, boom......, boom" battle rang out in a dull series of explosions, and after the three explosive packets were pushed out of the gasoline barrels, they flipped and flew towards the Japanese military base more than 200 meters away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Boom ......" Soon, three earth-shaking explosions were heard.

The fireballs that rose into the air of the three regiments instantly illuminated the Japanese army Zhou Zhuang~

It was quiet just now, but it was chaos immediately.

The devils, the Imperial Army, rushed out of the barracks like crazy, and some people rushed out without even wearing clothes, carrying rifles.

"Baga, we have been attacked, the enemy has artillery, and it is also heavy artillery, immediately enter the position, ready to counterattack!" The officers who rushed out of the barracks together, brandished their command knives and shouted loudly, like mad beasts, scolding whoever they caught!
