All those who participated in the operation were summoned, and the chief of staff made a simple mobilization. It's easier to say it yourself, ask everyone to confirm that they are willing to participate in the action, and they can withdraw at will! From tomorrow will begin battlefield discipline, without any reason to withdraw with impunity. Everyone is familiar with themselves and knows that if they quit now, there will be no sequelae of embarrassment. No one is willing to quit, and according to Li Daze, there are ten people who have signed up for one withdrawal now. asked the little grandfather to wear the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, and Major Miao took off the military uniform of the Central Army and changed to wear the militia training uniform.

On March 17, the chief of staff personally marched for everyone! Arrange for 3 trucks to go north to a place where there is no road and cannot be opened. When all the cars were finished, a staff officer of the Eighth Route Army on horseback arrived, and the head of the Eighth Route Army invited the chief of staff to meet with him in Licheng County. I ignored my little grandfather's expectant eyes, and when I sighed in my heart, I was lucky! What a miss! Military orders are not only what the commander says to the soldiers, but since the military order is issued, it is the same for the commander. It is a taboo in the army to change the order every day, and it is not serious to implement the military order yourself, and you still expect others to implement it seriously?

"Chief of Staff, since the military order has been issued, apologize to the head of the Eighth Route Army on my behalf. It's a loss for me, it's a pity! I can only do this, seeing the chief of staff nodding, I waved and set off!

The truck stopped less than 20 kilometers north, and the widest road beyond that was called a mule and horse track, which was impassable even for large trucks. Li Da arranged the marching order, the little grandfather took a squad to take the lead, and Li Da took a squad to postpone. The elite group went 5 kilometers to search and reconnoitre, and when they encountered the Eighth Route Army, they were contacted by their little grandfather.

There are no special circumstances, a daily march of 80 kilometers is required. In just one day, the gap between the little grandfather and the Miao agent was revealed, and it had to be reduced to 60 kilometers a day; There is no way, you must maintain your physical strength, and you can have the physical strength to do mobile combat in an emergency. The present devils have just occupied the Shanxi Plain, and they have no intention of entering and controlling the mountainous areas, and they are all thinking about how to deal with the regular army of the Kuomintang and how to cross the Yellow River into Henan and Shaanxi.

After the departure, although he had radio contact with the chief of staff, he was never informed of the location of his team. The marching route for the little grandfather is basically a notice every half day, the direction is uncertain, basically avoiding the big towns, trying to go to remote mountain villages, the purpose is to train the team. Mountain warfare, scuds, iron feet are still the basis of all tactical requirements, otherwise it is useless to have good ideas. The general direction is through Liao County, Heshun, Xiyang, Pingding, Yangquan Benmeng County, bypassing Taiyuan to Lou Nu area. According to the little grandfather, if you said you came here earlier, why bother to run the wrong way?

In the little grandfather's complaints, it was only on the morning of the fifth day that Xiyang passed to the edge of Pingding. The investigators in front reported that the village that needed to sell something good and planned to buy food was holding a big funeral, saying that seven or eight people had been killed by devils. instructed not to disturb others, and arranged for Li Daze and his little grandfather to take people to find out the situation; Those devils did it, where now? What is the situation of the surrounding enemies? The team took refuge in the nearby woods.

In the afternoon, the matter was cleared. Yesterday morning, a few devils went to this small mountain village to rob three girls and daughters-in-law from small mountain villages, and the common people resisted and were killed by 5 people. The killer is a coal mine devil, in the northwest of Xiyang, about five or six kilometers away from Xiyang. Li Da came back from the investigation, and the little grandfather also brought back a nearby guerrilla captain.

Li Da reported: "Instructor, there is about one shift in the coal mine, three pillboxes have been set up, and there are barbed wire and fences around the perimeter, and the walls have not yet been completely built. There is a row of bungalows inside, which can accommodate about 40 people, and it is where the devils and foremen live; There are several rows of shacks that are inhabited by workers, and it is estimated that more than 200 people can live. ”

Looking at the simple map drawn by the scouts, he listened to Li Daze's report and asked the captain again. Their guerrilla unit had just been established for less than a month, with more than 20 personnel, and the captain was a veteran of the Eighth Route Army; The only weapons were a Hanyang-made gun and a Mauser shell gun, which were issued by their superiors. The partisans had already concentrated in another small village nearby. Ordered to leave a group to monitor the situation, and all the others went to the small mountain village where the guerrillas were able. Let Li Daze and Major Miao formulate an attack plan, and the little grandfather will lead people to train one-on-one on the manufacture and use of mines and grenades.

Li Daze's attack plan was for a group to infiltrate and attack with only sabers, pistols, and grenades, arrange for a group to use sniper rifles as cover, and a group equipped with bazookas and machine guns to prepare for a strong attack. Others lay ambushes between the coal mine and Xiyang County to block possible reinforcements. The plan was feasible, and Li Daze was instructed to be the commander of the attack, select personnel, and explain the task, and the attack time was set at 2 o'clock in the second half of the night, just as there was a little moonlight in the second half of the night. Li Da was asked to kill all the Japanese, not to kill the foreman who did not resist or shout for the time being, and retreated to a safe place to be screened and dealt with by the miners, after all, they were also Chinese.

Arrange for the little grandfather and the guerrilla leader to purchase food for 300 people for two days, and pre-plant it in a forest outside the village. The task assigned to the little grandfather and the guerrillas was to relocate all the population of that small mountain village to prevent the devils from retaliating; Then after the attack is successful, guide the miners to this place first, not allowed to disperse, and take them all to the camp of the Eighth Route Army and then be disposed of by the Eighth Route Army. It is estimated that most of these miners should be prisoners of war and given to the Eighth Route Army, at least some of which can be mobilized to join the Eighth Route Army, and all the captures promised will be counted as payment for the guerrillas. The guerrillas were led by the little grandfather, and the location was 2 miles away, and they were not allowed to go forward without orders.

At 1 o'clock in the second half of the night, the team was all in motion. Through a telescope, observe the situation in the mining area by the faint moonlight. The whole mining area is quiet, only a devil is on the bunker at the door, carrying a rifle to move around occasionally, and a machine gun is set up on the bunker, and there is no secret post on close observation. It can't be said that the devil is careless, just a devil on the bunker, only a machine gun sounds, and all the soldiers of the guerrillas will not succeed in the attack even if they are all sacrificed.

Since it was handed over to Li Daze's command, he retreated to the ambush and blocking position, and this place could still observe the situation in the mining area. Li Daze's attack was launched very simply, and the infiltrators were dressed in white silk cloth and had been transported to 200 meters from the door. The covering sniper shot and killed the sentry, and it was the two snipers who fired it, and it was clear through the binoculars that both shots hit the head. Infiltrators have begun to move into the mine at a rapid pace.

Seeing the tacit cooperation of the team members, they moved quickly. I was also satisfied, and the agent next to me was amazed. The cleaning time was only about 20 minutes, and the foreman was taken out of the house, in front of the house, and kneeled towards the house.

The guerrillas were hailed to the mining area and began to let the miners out. It is estimated that the shack that can live more than 200 people, and nearly 400 miners came out. According to the instructions of the miners, the guerrilla captain is the expert in this aspect, which can be described as leaky. Small equipment, food, explosives, firearms and ammunition, bedding and salutes, and even pots and pans. It doesn't matter if there are many people, you can take everything you can, but you can't do it with large equipment, you don't have so much time.

Li Da did not agree to Li Da's plan to blast the mine. Worried about causing the crazy revenge of the devil, in addition, there are too many coal mines in Shanxi, not bad for this one, all of which can destroy large equipment. Instructed Li Da to cut off the heads of all the devil soldiers, dig a pit in front of the graves of the dead villagers and bury them, and make amends to the people for being ghosts! And ask for some medicine to prevent the devil and the wolf dog from tracking and finding those heads.

It was already six o'clock in the morning when all the personnel retreated to the grove, and the sky had already begun to glow.
