Although the soldiers on this mission were all recruits, the soldiers of the first battalion were well trained, and night marching was one of their daily items.

Zhao Gang led his comrades to set off at half past seven, when it was just dark.

The choice of time for a night attack is still a cliché, as long as it is between night and early morning.

Therefore, the first battalion has plenty of time, and it only needs to maintain the speed between the regular march and the rapid march to reach Wanjia Town according to the plan.

In order to ensure the safety of the march, after leaving the defense area of the new second regiment, Zhao Gang sent soldiers in all directions of the unit to take charge of reconnaissance.

Fortunately, the road was unimpeded and no trace of the enemy was found.

At half past two in the morning, Zhao Gang led a battalion of soldiers to finally arrive at Wanjia Town after several hours of long-distance running.

With the help of the scouts, Zhang Dabiao chose a very secluded woods as a resting point for the first battalion.

After looking at the watch on his wrist, Zhao Gang breathed a sigh of relief, and the time spent on the road was about the same as he imagined.

Don't look at how energetic he was when he competed with Li Yunlong yesterday morning about who would lead the team, but this was the first time he had commanded a combat mission of this scale.

Fortunately, Zhang Dabiao is very powerful, and he is helping him check and fill in the gaps along the way.

With this experience of night marching, Zhao Gang felt that he had a deeper understanding of the military theories he had seen before.

After everyone was on standby, he summoned Zhang Dabiao and a group of company platoon commanders to discuss the time of the attack.

Although now is the time when the puppet army is at its weakest, the warriors have just finished a long journey and need to rest.

Everyone looked at the timetable of the Devil Railway Patrol and decided to attack in an hour and a half.

The soldiers who were ordered to rest hurriedly began to eat, and in order to ensure that their combat effectiveness would not be affected by too much physical exertion, Li Yunlong specially ordered the cooking class to prepare cooking cakes and pickles.

In order to save space, many fighters rolled pickles with cooking cakes in advance and put them directly in their pockets.

It was very hot in Jin Province in July, and when the soldiers took out their supper, they even had a hint of residual warmth.

Zhao Gang was also very tired at this time, so he leaned against the tree and ate two cooking cakes, and took out the kettle and drank a large sip of water.

After a short rest, he got up and walked back and forth among the fighters, checking the physical condition of each comrade.

This is the first time Zhang Dabiao has gone on a mission with Zhao Gang, and the other party looks like a literati, but he does everything himself and is not special.

Although some of the arrangements are a little immature, the theoretical knowledge is definitely solid. From departure to the present, Zhao Gang has constantly refreshed Zhang Dabiao's opinion of him.

Da Meow looked at the political commissar in the crowd, the other party was obviously very tired, but he also had to care about the physical condition of the soldiers, and at this moment he suddenly understood why it only took one day for his regiment commander to look at the other party.

He looked at the back that looked "thin" and even felt a little distressed, which reminded him of Zhuge Liang, who had been ill from hard work.

So Zhang Dabiao immediately stepped forward, grabbed Zhao Gang's arm and said, "Political commissar, you should also rest for a while, or we will attack soon." ”

In fact, Zhang Dabiao was stunned the moment he touched the other party's arm, he didn't expect it to be so thick and hard, isn't this a pure contrast table.

But now that the words have been exported, Big Meow still took over the work of patrolling the camp.

In addition to being afraid that Zhao Gang's body would not be able to stand it, he also considered that his political commissar was an excellent marksman, so he could rest more now so as not to affect his state for a while.

After a week of circling the field, snoring in the woods came and went.

Although this is not far from Wanjia Town, it is beyond the patrol range of the puppet army, and the lazy two devils only take care of their own one-third of an acre.

In addition, Zhao Gang is very steady, and guard posts are arranged in many directions, so everyone does not need to worry about the risk of exposure.

There was a dead silence in the town opposite, and only the occasional flickering fires could prove that there was any sign of human activity there. Except for the puppet army on the sentry post, the rest of the people at this point were sleeping soundly in the barracks.

After a while, the scouts sent by Zhao Gang came back, and the other party walked directly towards the positions of Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao.

After feeling someone approaching around them, the two immediately got out of their sleeping state.

"Commissar, battalion commander. I figured out the topography of Wanjia Town, here is a main road across the center of the town, the main road is flanked by buildings, and there is no auxiliary road to be found. ”

"After my observation, the town only has exits on the north and south sides of the main road, and there is a squad of puppet troops stationed in each place."

"The tactical quality of this gang of two devils is really poor, I just saw that several people are asleep, and there are no guard posts and mobile posts outside the town."

In fact, the moment the investigation results came out, this group of traitors was no different from dead people.

The advantage of cavalry is mobility and assault ability, as long as the two exits of the town are blocked, the terrain of Wanjia Town will become a good place to close the door and fight the dogs.

Zhao Gang didn't have to think about it at all, this was the perfect plan that a child could think of in a group fight. He sent people to summon all three company commanders and twelve platoon commanders of the first battalion for a pre-war meeting.

"The cavalry battalion of the puppet army is in front, and their combat effectiveness is not strong, but this does not mean that our task is not difficult."

"The difficulty is how do we ensure that the capture is combined with the training of the troops, and there are no casualties."

"According to the information provided by the regiment commander, there are still an hour and fifteen minutes before the devil's railway patrol arrives here, and our time is completely sufficient."

Zhao Gang took out a simple map and spread it on the ground, which he had just drawn improvised when he heard the scouts report on the terrain. He began to assign tasks to the crowd and decided to divide the battalion into two parts.

In the first part, two companies led by Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, went around to the north of Wanjia Town to lay an ambush before the battle began. However, Zhao Gang stressed that he should not take the initiative to attack the enemy, and strive to create the false impression that the northern exit is very safe

In the second part, he himself led a company of soldiers to attack from the south after giving Zhang Dabiao enough time to them.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Gang looked at the officers and said: "This is called the empty side to show the emptiness, wanting to make the battle unfortified, and have the heart to stay." ”

After waiting for a while, he found that except for Zhang Dabiao, the expressions of the platoon commanders were a little confused.

Only then did he realize that he was not discussing tactics with his classmates in the rear, so he cleared his throat to relieve his embarrassment.

"I mean, let's leave an opening for the puppet army to save them from jumping off the wall in a hurry. We are here to capture the war horses to gain experience, and we must avoid casualties. ”

"I put pressure on me from the south with a company of soldiers, and when I entered the town, I found the stables as soon as I entered the town, and then drove the enemy to the north."

"When the time comes, you two companies will beat me hard, but remember one thing! Don't kill the enemy who surrenders! Discipline can't be bad! ”

This time, the soldiers all understood, and their eyes when they looked at Zhao Gang changed slightly. The physical fitness of the political commissar was already very surprising to them, and now he has shown his talent in tactics.

Zhang Dabiao looked at Zhao Gang, who was confident, he had already expected that the puppet soldiers would kneel on the ground and cry for their father. This made him shudder, and said silently in his heart:

"This cultured person plays tactics, but his heart is really dirty."
