Early the next morning.

Zhang Dabiao led a battalion of soldiers to finally arrive at Wanjia Town after a long-distance attack all night.

In the woods on the hill south of Wanjia Town.

The fighters were eating breakfast and hurrying to replenish their strength.

I ate dry food that I brought, and I added pickles to my nest.

In winter, the nest was hard, and the soldiers put it in cotton clothes to cover it hot and eat it.

Zhang Dabiao nibbled on two nests of pickles, picked up the kettle on his waist and poured saliva, and then felt that he had recovered some strength.

"After breakfast, everyone should take a break and take a break." Zhang Dabiao said to the soldiers.

It wasn't long before the snoring in the woods was thundering, and the guard post was far enough away that there was no need to worry about exposure.

Zhang Dabiao picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction of Wanjia Town, only to see that the entire Wanjia Town was full of smoke, and there were puppet cavalry patrolling the town.

Through the field of vision of the telescope, Zhang Dabiao suddenly saw two figures touching up the mountain.

After a closer look, it was Xu Yonghai, the commander of the assault company, and Li Changshun, the sniper, who had returned from reconnaissance in Wanjia Town.

About six or seven minutes later, Xu Yonghai and Li Changshun entered the woods, both wearing black silk robes and stepping on mille-feuille bottom cloth shoes.

The waist is bulging, and it is not disguised at all, and the discerning person knows at a glance that it is a 20-round barge gun.

The puppet army is a master who bullies the weak and fears the hard, if you dress up as the common people's submissive appearance, you think you are easy to bully.

But if you don't have a gun on you and dress up as a Japanese pseudo-plainclothes team, then the treatment will be different.

The two walked up to Zhang Dabiao and gave a military salute: "Battalion commander!" ”

Zhang Dabiao returned the military salute, and then asked, "How is the situation?" ”

"The situation is basically clear!"

Xu Yonghai took a sip and said: "In Wanjia Town, the cavalry battalion of the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the puppet army is stationed in the Wanjia compound in the center of the town, and the entrances on the east and west sides of the town are defended by about a squad of puppet troops. ”

Zhang Dabiao: "Are there any other exits from this town?" ”

"There is no other exit!" Xu Yonghai said in a firm tone, "The buildings in the town are distributed along a street. ”

In fact, even if there are other paths into the town, the devils and puppet soldiers will block the paths in order to strengthen law and order and prevent the infiltration of the Eighth Route guerrillas.

Zhang Dabiao's eyes lit up slightly: "As long as the entrances and exits of the east and west of the town are blocked, the puppet cavalry battalion will not be able to escape." ”

The streets of Wanjia Town are not wide, and the cavalry cannot exert their power.

Just thinking about it slightly, a perfect set of plans surfaced in Zhang Dabiao's mind.

At that moment, Zhang Dabiao called the three company commanders of the first battalion to gather for a meeting, and more than ten platoon commanders also attended, and Zhang Dabiao gave the order with full authority:

"There is only one puppet army cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town, and the combat effectiveness of the puppet army is very weak, so this mission is not difficult."

"But this is only 4 kilometers away from Zhengtai Road, once the gun is fired, the Japanese puppet army along Zhengtai Road will definitely rush to the aid immediately."

"So, we have to fight this battle quickly, as quickly as possible!"

"The longer it drags on, the worse it will be for us."

Zhang Dabiao used a branch to cross the ground, indicating that it represented the streets of Wanjia Town.

"Our target cavalry battalion is stationed in the Wanjia compound on Central Street, and there are only two entrances and exits in the east and west of the entire street."

Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, this is more than 300 military horses, and they are also the kind of high-headed horses.

As long as this puppet cavalry battalion is killed, these more than 300 military horses will belong to the new regiment!

Zhang Dabiao continued: "As long as we block the two entrances and exits, the puppet cavalry battalion will become a turtle in the urn, but in order to fight quickly, we have to outwit it." ”

"Three companies are to be divided into separate operations."

"The first company entered the town from the west, and I led the second company into the town from the east, and before the main force entered the town, I took the puppet army at the entrance of the town."

"As long as there are no guns at the entrance of the town, the main force of the puppet army in the town will not notice the abnormality."

"After taking the puppet army at the entrance of the town, the first company and the second company converged in the Wanjia compound, surrounded the Wanjia compound, and then attacked and took the puppet army cavalry battalion in one fell swoop!"

Zhang Dabiao looked at the commander of the third company: "The third company bypassed Wanjia Town and went out of Zhengtai Road, found a suitable terrain to prepare for the blockade, took the red signal flare as the signal, and immediately retreated when we saw the red signal flare, if we move fast enough in Wanjia Town, the devil has not yet arrived, and the battle will be over." ”

"Got it?"

The three company commanders shouted in unison: "Understood! ”

Subsequently, Zhang Dabiao said to Xu Yonghai: "You just went to reconnoitre, and the vigilance of the puppet army is very low, so try not to fire a gun to take down the devils at the entrance of the town." ”

"But if something happens, don't hesitate to attack immediately!"

Xu Yonghai straightened up: "Yes, battalion commander!" ”

Zhang Dabiao took out a pocket watch from his pocket, looked at the time, and then looked at the sleeping soldiers behind him, with a little tiredness on his face.

"It's ten o'clock, wake up the fighters in an hour," he said. ”

The three company commanders replied in unison: "Yes! ”

Then, Zhang Dabiao looked at the sniper Li Changshun: "Changshun, do you know how to look at the watch?" ”

Li Changshun nodded: "Yes, battalion commander." ”

Zhang Dabiao handed the pocket watch to Li Changshun's hand: "Okay, nine o'clock, wake me up on time!" ”

"Yes, battalion commander......"

looked at Zhang Dabiao, who fell asleep in a second against the tree, and then looked at the sleeping faces of his comrades, Li Changshun was messy in the cold wind, don't I have to sleep?

An hour later, Li Changshun felt a fight between his upper eyelids and lower eyelids, and his head slammed against the 98K sniper rifle, and a crisp sound came out.

Li Changshun shook his head violently, let his brain quickly sober up, and hurriedly looked at the pocket watch, there were still two minutes before nine o'clock.

His eyes were firmly fixed on the pocket watch, and the pointer pointed to nine o'clock, Li Changshun reached out and pushed Zhang Dabiao's shoulder.

The moment Li Chang touched Zhang Dabiao's body, Zhang Dabiao suddenly opened his eyes.

Li Changshun said in a low voice: "Battalion commander, the time has come. ”

"Okay, wake up the warriors." Taking over the pocket watch from Li Changshun's hand, Zhang Dabiao tightened the cotton clothes on his body, the effect of keeping out the cold was very good, and he didn't feel very cold when sleeping in the open air.

Although he only slept for an hour, Zhang Dabiao felt that he was instantly resurrected, and the fatigue caused by the long-distance run and the night without sleep was swept away.

Soon the soldiers were woken up, and the platoon commanders of each company began to assign tasks, and then the soldiers checked their equipment.

Ten minutes later, all the fighters were ready.

The first battalion took each company as a unit and rushed to the position designated by the battalion commander Zhang Dabiao.
