Zhang Dabiao was sent away, and the soldiers of the special service battalion also finished breakfast, and immediately opened the whole battalion and continued to run to the Shuiquan Coal Mine.

It took another day and a half for Yang Yuanshan to finally reach Dazhai Mountain, which is more than ten miles northwest of Shuiquan Coal Mine.

The scouts came to report that there were several hidden caves in the middle of this Dazhai Mountain, which was convenient for hiding soldiers.

After Yang Yuanshan stepped forward to check, he was very surprised, and immediately let the soldiers go into the cave to rest.

Later, while arranging for scouts to recall Wei Dayong's special operations company, he sent someone to contact Ding Wei and invite him to come here to meet and discuss the specific details of the battle.

……

Early the next morning, Wei Dayong came back with the people of the special operations company with a face full of dirt and dust.

"Battalion commander, I'm back."

"Okay, monk, hard work!

How's the hostile situation? ”

"The enemy situation in Waterspring City has not changed, and it is still the 225th Wing of the little devils.

But now there is only one field brigade left in this wing, the second brigade, 1,100 people!

There was also an infantry artillery squadron, armed with 4 Type 92 infantry guns.

In addition, there are some other troops directly under the wing headquarters, about a few hundred people. ”

Wei Dayong replied excitedly.

"Good guy, the huge Water Spring City, with less than 2,000 troops, I really want to swallow the water spring!"

Yang Yuanshan couldn't help but pursed his lips.

The current Shuiquan City is like a dumpling with thin skin and big filling, and a proper soft persimmon!

"Battalion commander, I fancy it!

Let our special operations company destroy the little devil's 4 cannons for him, and easily enter Shuiquan City. ”

When Wei Dayong heard that Yang Yuanshan wanted to directly draw water from the spring, he immediately took the initiative to ask for help.

Hearing this, Yang Yuanshan hurriedly touched his nose and forcibly changed the topic:

"Let's talk about it. Monk, let's talk about the situation of the Shuiquan Coal Mine! ”

The water spring should be won, but now is not the best chance.

The little devil has at least one brigade of troops, relying on strong permanent fortifications for defense, and if the special battalion does not have twenty or thirty mountain artillery, the strong attack will definitely cause many casualties.

Once the time is delayed, the army from the Shimen area of the little devil will come to help, but it will be miserable.

In particular, the little devil can even mobilize the bombers of the Beijing airport to bomb, as soon as thirty or fifty bombers come, even if his special battalion is iron, it will be finished!

"The little devil built eight gun towers and six bunkers in the Shuiquan Coal Mine, with a total of two squadrons of troops stationed there, as well as more than 100 mine police.

It is said that there are two heavy machine guns in these turrets and bunkers, and our guerrillas have also tried to attack the coal mines and rescue the miners, but they have been repelled by these heavy machine guns. ”

Wei Dayong's face was a little solemn.

With his experience, he can also see that this Shuiquan Coal Mine is really not easy to fight.

Those turrets and bunkers, even if they were fought with the guns of the special battalion, would have to consume a lot of shells and time.

"Good guy, there are nearly 30 heavy machine guns in total, and if you form crossfire, it's really difficult!"

Yang Yuanshan also frowned a little.

The enemy defended with strong fortifications and heavy machine guns, and the advantage was too obvious.

"Battalion commander, do you want us to sneak into the coal mine and mobilize the coal miners to cooperate with the outside world?

We found out that there were four or five thousand miners in this coal mine, and every day they were whipped by the little devil mine police to dig coal in the mine, which was very miserable.

Once they can act with us, the little devils will definitely be in a hurry. ”

Wei Dayong suggested.

"No, I can't.

In front of heavy machine guns, a few thousand people are useless!

It only adds to the casualties. ”

Yang Yuanshan shook his head.

After traversing for so long, he has seen many sacrifices, but as a traverser, he still doesn't like meaningless sacrifices.

Behind every miner, there is also an ordinary family!

"What then?"

Wei Dayong also scratched his head.

"Monk, you go down and rest first.

How to fight will wait for me to discuss with Head Ding. ”

"Yes!"

……

Not long after Wei Dayong returned, Ding Wei came with a guard squad.

As soon as he saw Yang Yuanshan's face, after the greetings were finished, he frowned and said:

"Yang Yuanshan, this Shuiquan Coal Mine is not easy to fight!"

Yang Yuanshan nodded while proposing:

"We're all on this, no matter how hard it is, we have to fight!

Let's go, Captain Ding, let's go and see the terrain first. ”

"Good!"

In fact, Ding Wei had already checked the terrain of the Shuiquan Coal Mine repeatedly, but since Yang Yuanshan wanted to see it, he didn't mind going to see it again.

The two of them took the guard squad to the commanding heights on the periphery of the Shuiquan Coal Mine, took the binoculars, and carefully inspected them.

When Yang Yuanshan saw a mountain peak about three or four kilometers away from the coal mine, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he immediately asked:

"Commander Ding, is there an enemy sentry on this mountain?"

"Of course there is, the little devil is not stupid, around here, the mountain is the commanding height, how can it not be a sentry.

My people have reconnoitred, this mountain is called Hat Mountain, on the top of the mountain, the little devils built a small pillbox, there is a small detachment of little devils guarding there, there is a heavy machine gun in it.

In addition to this commanding height, the three or four higher mountains near the coal mine, the little devils have built a small bunker, and put four or five people in it as a guard post. ”

"Good fellow, this defense is really tight!"

Yang Yuanshan sighed.

However, he did not lose confidence, and after a careful inspection, he finally said to Ding Wei:

"Commander Ding, I am going to send someone to take down all these commanding heights around, and then set up cannons on the mountain to knock out the gun towers and pillboxes around the coal mine.

When the time comes, the soldiers of your new regiment will raise the banner and attack from the south, and the men of our special battalion will attack from the north and west, and they will fire three arrows in unison to take the entire coal mine. ”

"How do you arrange the reinforcements of the little devil water spring?"

Ding Wei frowned and asked.

The plan is also too rough.

The biggest threat to the attack on the Shuiquan Coal Mine was not even considered.

"I still have more than a thousand troops to deal with them."

Yang Yuanshan smiled slightly.

"What? And more than a thousand? Where did you get so many troops?

I see that there are two or three thousand of you who have just rested in the cave, right?

Did you pull the non-combatants out to fight as well?

That's not a lot of combat power! ”

Kong Jie was amazed.

"Hehe, this is not a blocking battle at a critical moment, how can I let non-combatants go to their deaths?

It was I who persuaded Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion of our regiment, to let him lead the men of the first battalion to feint an attack on Shuiquan City from the direction of Taolingou.

In Shuiquan City, there are now less than 2,000 troops, if this happens, do you think they will think that we are attacking the coal mine just to cover the troops attacking Shuiquan City?

After weighing the pros and cons, I think the commander of the little devil will definitely choose to defend Waterspring City and abandon the coal mine. ”

"Good fellow, you kid is really good!

This one, our main force of six or seven thousand, just to deal with a Shuiquan coal mine, this formation is really not small! ”

Ding Wei's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but sigh.

Naturally, Yang Yuanshan is too good at fooling this guy in his heart.

can actually fool Zhang Dabiao.

He couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Zhang Dabiao, this kid, I heard that he is also a virtue with Li Yunlong, how did you trick him into getting involved in our business?"

"Hehe, Captain Ding, what do you mean by deception?

Battalion Commander Zhang is my old battalion commander, can I lie to him? ”

Yang Yuanshan glanced at Ding Wei.

"Hmph, I don't know the virtues of these people in your independent regiment?

Those are the same as Li Yunlong's dog's day, if there is no benefit, Zhang Dabiao will not move if he is killed! ”

"Hahaha, Captain Ding, you are really accurate in looking at people!"

Yang Yuanshan, hey, hey, a pleasure.

Then explains:

"I promised to give Zhang Dabiao 1,000 brand-new 38 big covers.

He also told him that after we took the coal mine, we could recruit miners as soldiers, and he came in a hurry. ”

"Good fellow, you kid is really rich!

1,000 38 big covers, don't talk about him Zhang Dabiao, you are the brigade commander, and the brigade commander will definitely have to send the 771 regiment and the 772 regiment to help you with this! ”

Ding Wei was amazed, and said in his heart that letting go of this kid was an eternal pain in his heart.

Every time I see this kid don't take the equipment seriously, I have to be miserable, so I don't suffer!

……

The two determined the main offensive ideas, and then communicated specific details, such as the specific attack time, the need to arrange guard posts in all directions, and so on.

The two squatted on the hillside, dancing and discussing, before finally parting.

Go back and mobilize troops and prepare for the attack.

……

Yang Yuanshan returned to Dazhai Mountain, the temporary station of the special service battalion, and immediately called the company commanders to a meeting.

"Comrades, I have discussed with Regiment Commander Ding, this time to attack the Shuiquan Coal Mine, the direction of our special service battalion's attack is north and west.

The specific launch time is set at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon! ”
