In the secret service headquarters.
Yang Yuanshan slammed the table and decided to attack Qixia Town, so Zhou Xianpei, Han Yang and others could no longer object.
He already has absolute authority in the secret service camp.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, He Yunfu quickly said:
"Battal Commander, I have no objection to attacking Qixia Town, but should we wait three months before attacking?
By then our recruits will have been trained, and our combat effectiveness will be greatly improved. "
"no."
Yang Yuanshan rejected his suggestion without hesitation, and then explained:
“With our strength, it will be easy to capture Qixia Town anytime.
However, what I want is not just to capture Qixia Town! "
"Batalion Commander, what do you want to do?"
Wei Dayong asked curiously.
"Of course, we must eliminate the little devil's vitality as much as possible!"
Yang Yuanshan revealed his larger purpose.
"Eliminate the viable forces? Battalion Commander, do you want to surround the area and call for reinforcements?"
Zhou Xianpei understood a little bit.
"good.
I want to use this piece of fat in Qixia Town as bait to attract reinforcements from Qubei County, and then eat the reinforcements from the Japs on the front lines of Xiniu Village and Huangling Village.
Now is the period of the great battle. The little Japs in the entire Jin region have been stunned by our army's raids. There are wars everywhere. There is a high probability that the strength of the little Japs from Qubei County or Shouxian County will not exceed one brigade. , just right for us to eat.
If we wait three months, our soldiers may have been trained, but the Japs have also recovered. When their reinforcements come again, they may be a regiment. If we want to eat again, we will have no chance!
You are not so arrogant as to think that your strength can kill an entire regiment of little devils, are you? "
Yang Yuanshan's eyes were focused on the line between Xiniu Village and Huangling Village, his eyes exuding murderous intent.
Everyone listened to his words, looked at the map carefully, and silently pondered in their hearts.
Then Han Yang was the first to nod in agreement:
"Battal Commander, if you say so, I also agree to attack Qixia Town.
However, the focus of this battle is the blocking battle on the front lines of Xiniu Village and Huangling Village. If we fight the blocking battle, we may not be able to capture much equipment.
With our battalion's fighting style, a lot of shells and bullets are consumed. If the blocking battle lasts too long, we may have a difficult life in the future. "
"Don't worry, our secret service camp has never been short of weapons and ammunition."
Yang Yuanshan waved his hand.
He thought to himself: As long as you can kill the little devil, my weapons and ammunition are unlimited.
"Battal Commander, we have established blocking positions in Xiniu Village and Huangling Village. What if the Japanese bombers come to bomb?"
Zhou Xianpei asked.
“Two methods, the first is to rely on anti-blast holes.
We dug trenches and bomb-proof holes in advance. Once the Japanese bombers come, everyone will take shelter in the bomb-proof holes.
The second is to use the heavy machine gun as an anti-aircraft machine gun.
In the Huting stronghold before, we used 20 heavy machine guns to shoot down a Japanese plane.
Now we have dozens of Type 92 heavy machine guns in our entire battalion. Let’s go back and find a few commanding heights and establish heavy machine gun positions. On the one hand, they can be used as battlefield firepower points. On the other hand, they can also be used for anti-aircraft shooting. This will more or less defeat the little Japanese bombers. Don't dare to be too presumptuous. "
Yang Yuanshan answered.
He was thinking that if he captured Qixia Town this time, he might be able to take out those anti-aircraft guns. Although there were not many shells, they might be able to deter the Japs bombers next time.
Let the little devil be honest.
Hearing what he said with confidence, everyone present understood that the battalion commander had taken the weight and became determined.
Militant Wei Dayong immediately asked:
"Battal Commander, just tell me how to fight, and we will follow your arrangements!"
For him, as long as he beats the little devil, it doesn't matter who he beats!
It doesn't matter how you fight.
It doesn't matter what the consequences are.
After all, he knew that it was too difficult for him to use his brain, so he chose to follow the command in all his actions.
"Okay! I decided to attack Qixia Town from the north with the First Company, and let the little devil ask for help from Qubei County.
Han Yang, you must attack carefully and knock down the Japs' turrets and bunkers first.
I won’t give you any mountain artillery, so you can use your company’s two Type 92 infantry cannons to let the artillerymen practice their artillery skills. Do you understand? "
Yang Yuanshan was the first to name Han Yang.
After all, he is now his most capable person.
Han Yang understood that Yang Yuanshan wanted to slow down the pace of his attack and not rush to capture Qixia Town, lest the little devil's reinforcements would be too late to arrive and die, so he nodded immediately.
"Battal Commander, there are only 350 people in our company. If we take the punishment lightly, will we make the little devil arrogantly think that we don't need to ask for help?"
"Then you mobilize the militiamen from your nearby base areas to follow you, increase your momentum, and create the movement of a main force!
It just allows the militiamen to feel the atmosphere of the battlefield and quickly gain combat effectiveness when they join the main force in the future. "
Yang Yuanshan felt that Han Yang's words made sense and immediately suggested it.
He knew how arrogant the little devils were. If they saw only a few hundred of our troops attacking, they might not ask for help.
"Yes, I understand."
Han Yang agreed loudly.
"Lao He, you lead the Second Company south from Renjialiang to Qingniu Mountain to the west of Xiniu Village to establish a blocking position, dig trenches and build fortifications, and prepare to block the reinforcements from Qubei County, the little Japanese.
Qubei County is an important strategic fulcrum to the north of Jinyang City. According to our reconnaissance results, we know that the Little Devils have two squadrons there. Once Qixia Town is attacked, Qubei County will most likely send two squadrons to one. The reinforcements of the brigade are coming. This is our main goal in this battle. I want you to eat this reinforcements for me. "
When He Yunfu heard this mission, he suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.
But he still stood up and took the order:
"Understood! Promise to complete the task!"
"Okay, I will transfer half of the artillery company and half of the engineer company to you. You must build enough defenses in advance, especially to guard against air attacks by the Japs.
The artillery position should be well disguised. For example, you can find some carpenters to make some cannon models out of wood and place them in conspicuous positions. Once the Japs bombers come, you might be able to mislead them. "
Yang Yuanshan also imparted his experience.
Hearing his suggestion, He Yunfu and Artillery Company Commander Wang Gensheng's eyes lit up and they nodded quickly:
"yes!"
"Li Dahe, your third company's mission is to go forward to Huangling Village, build a blocking position, and prepare to eat the little Japanese reinforcements coming from Shouxian County.
The requirements are the same as the second company, and I will also give you half an artillery company and half an engineer company.
However, since the Japs coming from Shouxian County are estimated to be only one squadron at most, you have another task, which is to build a blocking position on the hillside northwest of Huangling Village at the same time, and form cross fire with the blocking position of the Second Company. Stop the little devils from Qubei County.
Understand? "
"Understood! Promise to complete the task!"
"Battal Commander, what are our security companies doing?"
Wei Dayong suddenly became anxious when he saw that everyone had received the mission.
"Monk, take your men and go to the east to kill the tiger's mouth and be prepared for the little devils from Heyuan County to cause trouble. Our target is not them this time. I want you to prevent them from reaching the battlefield of Qixia Town at all costs.
But you kid, don’t make fun of the lives of the soldiers. Just destroy the road from Heyuan County to Qixia Town in advance, delay their movements, and then fight a sparrow war.
Heyuan County is not close to Qixia Town, so the pressure on you should not be great. You are not allowed to fool around and cause heavy casualties to the soldiers.
When the war here in Qixia Town ends, I will send people east to follow you to eat these little devils! Understand? "
Yang Yuanshan was worried that Wei Dayong would get mad and charge blindly, so he gave him a serious beating.
"clear!"
Looking at Yang Yuanshan's expression, Wei Dayong knew that he was not joking, and he quickly nodded in agreement.
Zhou Xianpei still had some doubts and said solemnly:
“Battal Commander, is our appetite too big?
Just capture Qixia Town quickly and then retreat. There is no need to think about the little Japanese reinforcements!
And you want to eat all the little Japanese reinforcements from several aspects, your appetite is too big! "
"Hey, Lao Zhou, you don't have to worry. If the Japs don't have heavy weapons, no matter how many people come, they are still a piece of our flesh. It is just for the recruits of the artillery company to practice their artillery skills. Our artillery is installed on the hillside. Being condescending will definitely make the little devil cry for his father and mother!
After this battle, I will divide the artillery company into two. This new gunner must practice his artillery skills more intensively! "
After the Battle of Heyuan County, Yang Yuanshan had allocated so many artillery pieces, so of course he had to form another artillery company. However, it was still in the midst of a major battle and he did not have time.
Moreover, after the artillery battle in Heyuan County, each of the original gunners and ammunition carriers of the secret service battalion had fired at least dozens of rounds. It was time, and they were barely qualified to serve as platoon leader and squad leader.
"All right."
Seeing what he said, Zhou Xianpei could only nod.
"Then we are fighting such a big battle, shouldn't we send someone to inform the regimental commander and political commissar?"
Zhou Xianpei asked again.
"It's not necessary. When we finish the battle, we can bring the battle report to the regiment commander. We don't need support from the regiment in this battle, so there is no need to tell us in advance."
Yang Yuanshan waved his hand.
He doesn't want Li Yunlong to point fingers at him anymore!
I don’t even want Li Yunlong to get involved and share his spoils!
Seeing that he was so resistant to the report, Zhou Xianpei was a little speechless and quickly changed the subject:
"Battal Commander, you said how to deal with the little Japanese reinforcements in the west, south, and east, but what about the north?
I looked at the map. To the north is Xipan Town. There should be some Japs stationed there, right?
Once they receive a call for help from Qixia Town, they should be dispatched in full force, right?
Deputy Battalion Commander Han led the first company to attack from the north. Don't be attacked from the north and south by the little devils and be attacked from both sides. "
"Hey, north?
Beifang is no longer a little devil now, but an old acquaintance of our independent group. "
Yang Yuanshan chuckled.
Zhou Xianpei was a little confused and quickly asked:
"Old acquaintance? What do you mean?"
"Xipan Town is currently occupied by Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army.
Chu Yunfei is an old acquaintance of the regiment leader and I. When we were besieged by the Bantian regiment in Cangyunling, Chu Yunfei asked his artillery battalion to take action and helped the regiment commander.
Later in Yangcun, this kid came to visit the group again, and I performed for him a big show of ambushing the observation group and taking over the Huting stronghold.
Lao Zhou, do you think this is an old acquaintance? "
When the scouts reported that Xipan Town in the north had been occupied by the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army, Yang Yuanshan was really shocked.
But he immediately understood that Yan Laozhao was probably planning something else, so he transferred Chu Yunfei from southeastern Shanxi to northwest Shanxi.
"I see."
Zhou Xianpei nodded repeatedly.
Yang Yuanshan said again:
"It is precisely because Chu Yunfei occupied Xipan Town that I must capture Qixia Town.
Otherwise, if this kid also falls in love with Qixia Town, with his 5,000 people, he can easily capture this place.
When the time comes, if we try to do anything here again, we will be shot if we undermine unity. "
After Yang Yuanshan explained this, everyone present understood the urgency of capturing Qixia Town.
Time waits not for us!
There was no objection at the moment.
So Yang Yuanshan discussed some combat details with them and asked them to go back and prepare immediately. They agreed to drive to the designated combat area tomorrow to build fortifications and dig trenches in advance.
At 7 o'clock in the morning on the third day, the first company launched a feint attack on Qixia Town, giving the little Japanese reinforcements enough time to arrive.
