After some arrangements, Yang Yuanshan asked several company commanders to take their men and prepare to go on the road.
However, Han Yang reminded:
"Battal Commander, have you forgotten something?"
"What's up?
Along the way, haven't I already drawn people from the engineering company and logistics company to replace all the soldiers you lost in the Battle of Heyuan? "
Yang Yuanshan was puzzled.
"Battalion Commander, you have acquired so many cannons this time, aren't you going to give some to each of our three companies?
This is not a good habit to eat alone! "
He Yunfu spoke.
After getting along with each other for this period of time, he has regained the feeling of being a squad leader under Yang Yuanshan, so he began to speak more casually and dared to joke with him.
It turned out that they were thinking about their own guns.
Yang Yuanshan is not disgusted at all. Now the entire secret service camp has dozens of cannons that cannot be used up at all. It is very reasonable to give them some.
He immediately arranged:
"Okay, let me each give you a Type 92 infantry cannon and 200 rounds of artillery shells.
You are an infantry company, and too much artillery fire is not conducive to marching! "
Each of the three infantry companies originally had a Type 92 and a Type 60 mortar, and now they have one more. This kind of artillery fire is more than enough to deal with the Japs' turrets and the like.
But who knew that Han Yang smiled bitterly:
"Battal Commander, the infantry cannon of our company was blown up by the Japs. You have to give me two!"
"Okay, okay, I'll give you two doors."
Yang Yuanshan waved his hand.
This time he allocated 20 Type 92 infantry guns, and reserved two for Kong Jie. Now he has allocated 4 more, and there are still 14 left, enough to form another 350-man artillery company.
At this time, Wei Dayong suddenly said:
"Battal Commander, I see you've got two 60mm mortars. Why don't you give them to our guard company? We don't have cannons yet. If we fight against the Japs, we'll easily suffer!"
"Monk, you just want good things.
For those two 60mm mortars, I plan to organize two more main companies.
For your security company, a pistol platoon and a machine gun platoon are enough. What kind of guns do you need?
Is it your turn to attack the enemy? "
Yang Yuanshan flatly refused.
Is this Monk Wei trying to get away from the three main infantry companies?
Seeing what he said, Wei Dayong was immediately disappointed, but he did not dare to stab him again.
After the discussion, Yang Yuanshan ordered Zhao Li to hand over several cannons and corresponding shells to Han Yang and others, and then sent them away quickly.
Of course, he did not forget to replenish them with other guns and ammunition, food, cloth, ocean medicine and other supplies.
…
After sending everyone away, Zhou Xianpei and Xu Shaobai also walked out of the village with others.
"Battal Commander, we have made an agreement with the fellow villagers that we can enter the village and garrison.
However, this village is small and can only accommodate three to four hundred people. "
Zhou Xianpei looked troubled.
"It's okay. I have sent away Han Yang and his several companies. Now there are only artillery company, engineering company, and logistics company left directly under the battalion headquarters, with less than 1,000 people.
You continue to work in the next village, and just settle these companies in the nearby village. "
"yes!"
…
Zhou Xianpei and Xu Shaobai were very capable at work. After a lot of trouble, they quickly settled down all the thousands of people in the secret service camp.
While Yang Yuanshan arranged for scouts to scout out the enemy's surroundings, he stopped to rest in these villages.
…
Five days later, several company commanders, including Han Yang, He Yunfu, Li Dahe, and Wei Dayong, all returned to Hougou Village from their respective defense areas and entered Yang Yuanshan's battalion headquarters.
"Battal Commander, instructor, we are back."
Everyone greeted in unison.
"How's it going? Have you settled in these days?"
Yang Yuanshan saw that all of them were full of energy and seemed to have had a good rest.
"Well, most of the villages here are our base areas. As soon as they saw our military uniforms, they invited us to camp in the villages.
In a few villages that are not our base areas, if we go into the village and eliminate the evil traitors, the villagers will support us.
In addition, in addition to borrowing empty houses in the village to live in, we also did not eat the food of the villagers. Instead, we helped them fetch water, chop firewood, and repair their houses. The villagers praised us for being a team of poor people! "
Han Yang answered.
As the deputy battalion commander of the special agent battalion, he is still very familiar with how to establish base areas in the past few years as a soldier.
Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig walking?
"good!
Expanding the base area is an important task for us this time in northwest Shanxi.
When there is no war, you must strengthen this work.
My request to you is that by the middle of next year, each of your companies must expand to more than 800 people! "
Yang Yuanshan beat everyone and said.
Upon hearing this, everyone took the order seriously:
"yes!"
Then Han Yang asked curiously:
"Battal Commander, do you have any big plans for the middle of next year?"
"Hey, who knows!
For now, in our contest with the little devil, the initiative is still in the hands of the little devil! "
Of course, Yang Yuanshan is thinking that he will attack Heyuan County where the Japs are located no later than the middle of next year. He will not give up until the Japs no longer dare to garrison troops in Heyuan County!
But there is no need to tell them about this now.
After chatting with his favorite generals, Yang Yuanshan took them to a simple map hanging on the wall, pointed at the map in front of him and said:
"Comrades, I am preparing to attack Qixia Town in three days!
Then all the roads and railways near Huangling Village in the south of the town were blown up.
Qixia Town has flat land and densely populated areas. If we take it, we will not only be able to strengthen our special agent camp, but we can even gain access to food support groups. "
As soon as he said these words, instructor Zhou Xianpei couldn't help but feel a little uneasy and said quickly:
"Battal Commander, are you a little presumptuous?
Blowing up the roads and railways near Huangling Village is not a problem, but is it too early to attack Qixia Town?
We have just arrived here, and we haven’t figured out the enemy situation yet! "
"Old Zhou, who said you don't have a clear idea of the enemy's situation?
Look at this map, it's the result of our scouts' legs getting thinner these days.
Including myself, I also conducted repeated reconnaissance before drawing this situation map of Qixia Town.
The little devils are occupying the town, so let's squat in the ravine. I don't accept it! "
Yang Yuanshan pointed to the map on the wall.
Everyone took a look and saw that the map showed the main terrain, fortifications, garrison troops and other information in and around Qixia Town, which was very detailed and clear.
Yang Yuanshan was trained in using maps and drawing simple maps when he was a soldier before time traveling. Although he was not very good at it at the time, now that he has traveled to this world, he has instantly become a high-level talent who can draw maps!
After all, these days, no one except the military academy will teach you about contour lines and scales!
At least in his secret service camp, apart from him, only the instructor Zhou Xianpei and the deputy battalion commander Han Yang barely understood it, and the others knew everything from seven to six - nothing!
Now, everyone saw that the map he drew was very clear and clear, and they couldn't help but admire it.
Li Dahe couldn't help but admired:
"Batalion Commander, your drawing is so beautiful. It's clearer than the little devil's map we captured."
Wei Dayong jumped three feet high and shouted:
"You're right, battalion commander, why do we have to squat in the ditch while the little devil takes over the town's most popular restaurants?
We have to teach them a lesson and make them obediently give up the town to us! "
"Humph, let's not talk nonsense.
You see, the area of Qixia Town is not small, but the little devil's garrison, which is a squadron and a squad, only has more than 200 people, and its strength is very weak.
As for the Locust Alliance Army, they have one battalion and two companies. They seem to have a lot of people and strong strength.
But you also know the combat effectiveness of the Locust Alliance Army. Even if we let the engineers join, I'm afraid we can easily defeat them.
Therefore, it will take less than two hours for our battalion to capture Qixia Town.
And as long as we capture Qixia Town, we can obtain a large amount of materials and people on the one hand, and quickly expand our strength!
On the other hand, Qubei County can threaten the Japs at any time, and can even find opportunities to cut off the Tongpu Road in Qubei County, causing chaos for the Japs in Jinyang City. "
Yang Yuanshan was in front of the map, pointing out the country.
Han Yang questioned:
“But battalion commander, look at the Japs building two bunkers and a gun tower at the north and south ends of the town. They should be equipped with heavy machine guns, right?
It’s not easy to deal with!
Moreover, the south of this town is Zhengtai Road. If the Japs’ reinforcements come from Qubei County in the west along Zhengtai Road, it will probably take less than two hours. Even if we take Qixia Town in one hour, we may not have enough time to carry the loot and evacuate. ah!
If the enemy is eliminated and the loot cannot be taken away, it will be a big loss! "
"If you don't have time, create enough time. I, Yang Yuanshan, will definitely take over this Qixia Town!"
