On the second day, after careful analysis of the intelligence brought back by the communications squad and provided by the various district teams and county brigades, a complete combat plan emerged in Li Yunlong's mind.
Just as the new regiment's new recruits were arriving one after another, Li Yunlong planned to send out one company of soldiers at a time, both for troop training and at the same time to harass and block the built stronghold gun towers.
In order to prevent the construction of the gun tower from being destroyed, the little devil will definitely station troops in advance to take precautions.
"Pah!" Li Yunlong inspected the map and slapped the location of Xiaowangzhuang. "It's you! Hey, hey, don't even think about escaping the meat that's in your mouth!"
"Huzi, go and call me the three battalion commanders." Li Yunlong immediately began to prepare and arrange tasks.
After a while, three battalion commanders came one after another, and the last one came was the second battalion commander, standing outside the door of the regiment headquarters room, "Report to the regiment commander, the second battalion commander Wang Huanquan has arrived, please give instructions!"
"Come in!" As Li Yunlong finished speaking, the second battalion commander lifted the thick curtain and walked into the room.
When the second battalion commander saw Zhang Dabiao and the third battalion commander were there, he thought that their regiment had a combat mission and was about to make a big move, so he subconsciously wanted to invite the second battalion to fight.
Before the second battalion commander could speak, Li Yunlong interrupted him, "There are no combat missions arranged above!"
"However, I have a task for the three of you!" As soon as Li Yunlong said this, Zhang Dabiao and the other two people understood that the designated regimental commander had not reported it and was going to send troops without authorization again.
Anyway, it's not the first time. There is no political commissar here yet, so Zhang Dabiao and the other three have no objection.
"Look here!" Li Yunlong pointed to the map hanging on the wall and pointed at the location of Xiaowangzhuang.
"In Xiaowangzhuang, which is more than 20 miles away from us, the Japs want to build a new blockhouse here to serve as a stronghold."
Listening to Li Yunlong's explanation, Zhang Dabiao and the others thought that the leader was going to remove this stronghold under their noses!
Zhang Dabiao was the first to speak, "It is indeed too close to us. Once we make any big move, we will not be able to hide it from the little devils here!"
This time, the second battalion commander directly asked for a fight, "Commander, leave it to our second battalion. I promise to complete the mission before dark!"
Zhang Dabiao and the third battalion commander were anxious, and just as they were about to open their mouths to fight for it, Li Yunlong waved his hands angrily, "Get out of here, I haven't even spoken yet, how can you be so anxious!"
"Please look further ahead, I have to take a long-term approach to catch big fish!"
Li Yunlong's face straightened, "Order! The three of you will take turns leading the team. Each half-day will lead a company to the Xiaowangzhuang stronghold to conduct harassing attacks. At the same time, pay close attention to the changes in the Japs' garrison!"
"Execute the order!"
After the order was issued, Zhang Dabiao and the other three responded loudly at the same time, "Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"
The reason why Li Yunlong chose Xiaowangzhuang as his target was that it was the closest one and could provide support at any time if something unexpected happened.
Moreover, as long as he brings out a battalion of troops to take over the Xiaowangzhuang stronghold, the Japs will definitely ask for reinforcements.
The closest support to Xiaowangzhuang is the little devils at the Xinzhen stronghold, where a squadron of little devils is stationed.
If he wanted to support the Xiaowangzhuang stronghold, he would have to send at least half a squadron of Japs.
The little devils in this half of the squadron will definitely pass through a small valley, which is very suitable for an ambush. When the time comes, tie a pocket to block the little devils and let the firepower increase for a sudden wave of firepower.
Give the little devil a quick hit and rush, try to resolve the battle in half an hour, and then go back and clear out the Xiaowangzhuang stronghold. This time, no matter what, you must have a Weiguan knife!
In the afternoon, for the first time, Zhang Dabiao led a company that had just added half of its recruits. Under the leadership of the district team militia, they rushed to the vicinity of Xiaowangzhuang, more than 20 miles away, and used it as a training exercise along the way.
When they arrived at the place, Zhang Dabiao and his party hid behind an earth beam to allow the soldiers to recover their strength, while Zhang Dabiao led the militiamen of the district team to observe the enemy's situation.
"Chief, there is about a platoon of puppet troops and a dozen little devils guarding here!"
"On weekdays, these yellow dogs work as supervisors outside, bullying us people to build turrets for the little devils. Those little devils are in the house over there. Some of us have seen the little devils coming in and out there!"
As the militiamen explained the situation, Zhang Dabiao lay on the earth beam and could clearly see the half-built gun tower. Deep trenches had been dug around the gun tower and barbed wire fences had been pulled up.
At this time, Zhang Dabiao and the others were located to the south of the blockhouse. To the east of the blockhouse was a dirt road passing through the village, which was the only way in and out of the nearby mountainous area.
The west side of the blockhouse is the same as the south side. The trees and vegetation have been cleared away, leaving a large open space. To the north of the blockhouse is Xiaowangzhuang.
Several brick buildings have been built on the left and right sides of the blockhouse, which must have been the dormitories and warehouses of the little Japanese.
Zhang Dabiao stared at the house pointed by the militiamen for a while. Sure enough, a few little Japs came out, shouted a few words at the puppet soldiers standing outside, and then returned to the house.
After watching for a while, Zhang Dabiao had an idea, and turned to the militiamen, "Xiao Liu, find someone to sneak into the construction site of the artillery building, and tell the fellow villagers that if they hear gunshots later, they should either hide in the artillery building or go out of their way." "Lie down on the ground and don't move."
"We will fire a volley of guns here to lure the little devils out, and then confront them for a while!"
"Then, there will be other people leading the team, basically once every half a day. We will make it impossible to repair this turret!"
When militiaman Xiao Liu went to inform his fellow villagers, Zhang Dabiao turned around and started arranging tasks for the company.
"Third company commander, you will take a platoon to the west later, I will take a platoon to stay in the south, and the remaining platoon will be on guard in the direction of Tuluxin Town in the east!"
"We fire from both sides at the same time. Let the new recruits fire two shots each to hit the yellow dogs. When the little devils are lured out, let the veterans look like they are charging!"
"As soon as the kid shoots, hide immediately. Try not to be bitten by the kid. Try to deal with them for a while!"
"Almost an hour later, as soon as the little devil reinforcements arrived, everyone immediately retreated!"
After the mission was assigned, the third company commander led a platoon and began to circle toward the west of the gun tower. Zhang Dabiao also began to arrange for another platoon to ambush on one side of the dirt road for security.
When everyone was in place, Zhang Dabiao shouted in a low voice, "Listen up, recruits. Each of you aims at a target. Don't be anxious. Stay calm. After you hear the sound of my gun, each of you will shoot me twice!"
After saying that, Zhang Dabiao picked up his Garand rifle and aimed at a puppet soldier holding a whip.
"Bang!", the puppet soldier who was about to whip his fellow villagers fell down immediately.
Following the sound of gunfire, sparse gunfire began to appear from the south and west of the turret. The initial results were not ideal, with less than ten puppet soldiers standing struttingly on the construction site supervising the work being shot and fell to the ground.
The rest of the puppet troops immediately fell to the ground in panic, or hid behind obstacles.
"Where? Where to shoot?"
"It's the Eighth Route Army!"
"Call Taijun quickly!"
