Captain Lu walked back and forth across from Ding De.
He kept mumbling: "The leader went to the plains for an on-the-spot investigation. Company Commander Wang Liujin looked down upon our well-established platoon leaders and insisted on recruiting people from the Ninth Battalion. But look at the Ninth Battalion's Platoon leaders, they can’t even pass the review by the enemy’s engineering department.”
The Enemy Engineering Section has very high requirements for escorts. They must have strong combat capabilities and be clean. The backbone of our regiment can only make up so many people.
"Otherwise, we will submit the list of students and let the Enemy Engineering Department select them."
"There is no room for leaks in this matter. Su Qing is familiar with the situation in the plains. Why don't you ask her for her opinion?"
"The foundation of our regiment is still too weak." Commander Lu turned his head and shouted to the door: "Guard, hurry up and call Captain Su over."
"Is this appropriate?" The political commissar frowned.
"It's better than you and I messing around here."
"Report!" Su Qing walked into the gate of the shed at the regiment headquarters: "Regiment leader, political commissar, are you looking for me?"
Ding De looked serious: "Sit down, the superior commander is going to the enemy-occupied area in the plain to investigate, and our regiment is asked to arrange an escort team. What do you think?"
Su Qing thought for a while: "When we go to the enemy-occupied area for investigation, the enemy engineering department should arrange for traffic officers who are familiar with the enemy-occupied area to determine the route, and then prepare two backup plans. There should be no problem in our independent regiment's defense area!"
"So confident?"
"We basically have our spies in the blockade ditches and gun towers along the way. We have to say hello to them in advance and tell them that we are sending a batch of mountain goods so that they will not attract attention."
"Then, what if we want to go to another district and our superiors ask us to arrange an escort team?"
Su Qing was stunned for a moment: "The escort team has always been in charge of the security section of the division's special agent battalion, right?"
"The enemy sweep has just ended, and the division has a heavy task of rebuilding and eliminating enemy agents. Moreover, they are actually not familiar with the local situation, so the enemy engineering department plans to recruit some people from the independent regiment.
Su Qing thought for a while: "If we go to enemy-occupied areas, too many people will easily expose the target."
"Tell me what you think."
"The safest way is to send people to sneak into each village to be inspected in advance, and at the same time create some trouble in the farther villages to divert the attention of the enemy's reconnaissance team, and then arrange the security force."
"This time, in addition to inspecting the village base areas, the focus of the inspection is on various counties and towns."
Su Qing shook his head: "Going to the county seat? It may be difficult to achieve absolute safety."
"The requirement of the enemy's Ministry of Industry is that there must be a capable armed force accompanying them that can capture a county at any time."
A figure immediately appeared in Su Qing's mind: "I think the enemy engineering department should make the final decision on this matter."
"Then do you think you can write up an inspection plan and let us report to the enemy engineering department for their reference?"
"no problem."
"Is one hour enough?"
"So urgent?"
"Yeah, it's urgent."
"Promise to complete the task." Su Qing turned around and prepared to go back to get paper and pen.
"Write it here, I have paper and pen." The political commissar said with an apologetic tone: "From now on, until the chief's inspection is over, you can't go anywhere."
Su Qing hesitated for a moment and nodded: "I understand."
The political commissar brought a middle-aged man to the solitary room and waved Xiao Bing to leave.
"Political commissar." Hu Yi was a little embarrassed when they always met in the forbidden room. As for the person next to the political commissar, Hu Yi didn't recognize him and didn't say hello.
The political commissar smiled: "This is Vice Minister Zhao from the enemy's Ministry of Industry."
Hu Yi stretched out his hand: "Hello, Minister Zhao!"
"Hello, Camp Commander Hu." Vice Minister Zhao smiled at Hu Yi, and then stretched out his hand to shake Hu Yi's hand.
This one was clearly preoccupied.
Hu Yi saw the political commissar personally bringing Vice Minister Zhao to him. What on earth did he want to investigate?
Hu Yi was worried and did not ask the political commissar. He asked Deputy Minister Zhao calmly: "I wonder what happened to Deputy Minister Zhao?"
Vice Minister Zhao was stunned for a moment: "Hey, Battalion Commander Hu, don't worry, I'm fine. It's Political Commissar Ding who has something, so I'll come over and take a look."
Hu Yi was even more unsure. The little girl had already told him that this was the pattern in all the medical examinations.
Team Leader Zheng, who used to censor himself, this time the deputy minister came to visit in person, so the matter may have become a big deal.
However, things did not seem to be what Hu Yi thought. Ding Deyi did not worry Hu Yi for too long at all: "So, now there is a task to be carried out."
When Hu Yi received the little girl's true message, he immediately raised his hands and saluted: "I promise to complete the mission!"
"Haha, it's not easy to say these six words from your mouth." Ding Deyi waited for four or five years for Hu Yi to say a few words. He didn't expect that it would be in this situation, but he still seemed to be in a good mood. : "Don't tell me those vain people. The task is not difficult. We will set out this afternoon to escort a batch of ammunition to the first division."
"Yes, I promise to complete the task." Hu Yi was excited. Anyway, he said these words without losing any weight.
The political commissar looked at it carefully with wide eyes. If Hu Yi's face hadn't changed, he would have thought that it was Wu Yan who spoke: "This mission is very important. It is up to you to select the escort. The number requirement is very simple. If we can capture Meixian , and hold the county seat for at least one day."
Hu Yi was a little confused: "It is very difficult to storm a county. It would be okay if we can use other methods."
Officer Zhao next to him suddenly said: "I heard that you have captured Meixian County with a platoon before?"
Hu Yi nodded and answered honestly: "It's just a city gate."
"If you attack Meixian now, how long will it take to win it?"
"If we carry out a sneak attack, we can capture a city gate in ten minutes. As for capturing the county seat, it's hard to say. It depends on the number of enemies in the city."
"The quantity you are talking about refers to the Japanese and puppet troops?"
"Of course it's a county town guarded by Japanese soldiers, but as for a city guarded by puppet troops,"
Vice Minister Zhao's eyes lit up: "Is the city guarded by the puppet army easy to fight?"
Hu Yi asked back: "Can the puppet army be called an army?"
"You have such a good tone, boy." Director Zhao turned to look at Ding Deyi: "I like the soldiers of your independent regiment!"
"Old Zhao, don't listen to them."
Deputy Minister Zhao shook his head: "It seems that you don't know your subordinates well enough. Most of their battalion fought for a whole day with a group of young Japanese soldiers who had an artillery unit. They even set up an ambush in front of the formation and poured bacteria into the mouths of the enemy's wounded."
The political commissar said with a dark face: "I heard about it, but it seems they said it was because of the geographical advantage."
"The location is favorable? The defense area of your independent regiment is not the same as the location. When are you going to take advantage of the location to fight with a small group of Japs?" When Deputy Minister Zhao said this, he turned to look at Hu Yi, who was standing upright: "You can attack a city by force. Are you sure you can win an unfamiliar county?"
Hu Yi didn't even think about it: "If the enemy is not prepared and we can arrange internal response in advance, ten minutes."
"Why is it still ten minutes?"
"Because if you can't win it in ten minutes, you can't win it even if you fight for a day."
Director Zhao was thoughtful and nodded: "That makes sense."
"How many people do you need?"
Hu Yi thought for a while: "If it's just a sneak attack to capture the city gate, one platoon will be enough. To capture a county town, the entire regiment will probably be dispatched."
The political commissar left with Vice Minister Zhao.
Two division secret agent battalion guards brought by Vice Minister Zhao followed Hu Yi.
One of them was obviously too enthusiastic: "Hey, Brother Hu, from now on, you can't leave my sight."
Hu Yi patted this man on the shoulder: "You might as well call me Company Commander Hu."
Half an hour later.
A team of more than 60 people gathered in Jiuzhan Village.
Everyone changed into civilian clothes and dressed in various styles, almost all of them were the backbone of the independent regiment.
Ma Liang, whose arm injury has not yet recovered, and Luo Fugui, who is carrying a machine gun.
Several grenadiers led by Li Xiang, including Wan Xiangxi who carried the mortar, were already the platoon leaders of Li Xiang's company.
Madman Yang and Liu Yuanqing, who can sing birds, also appeared in the team.
The guard of the secret service battalion stood in front of the team and announced discipline: "From now on, no one is allowed to leave the team alone. The comrades responsible for reconnaissance work in groups of three. They are not allowed to leave each other's sight, and they are not allowed to bring paper and pen to record."
"We will arrive at the foot of the mountain after dark. I will be responsible for the specific marching route. I will march at night and rest during the day."
No one is a fool, and he immediately knew that this time he must be escorting a big shot.
When Vice Minister Zhao left, Hu Yi already knew the general content of the mission being carried out this time.
He leads the team to the front line if the leader encounters danger in the county.
The Ninth Battalion must capture the county seat.
The team then set off.
Liquor Station Division Headquarters.
The political commissar of the regiment was saying goodbye to the group.
He Gensheng appeared in Wang Liujin's guard team with Xiao Hong, Su Qing and Song Xiaoci from the regiment health team.
Among them were two radio soldiers who had been at the wine station.
Vice Minister Zhao walked up to Hu Yi: "I announce that from now on, the independent group teaching site of the Anti-Japanese University cadet class will officially start classes."
Hu Yi was confused after hearing this. There must not be a classroom or a teacher in class?
