Qixia Town.
After Yang Yuanshan sent Chu Yunfei away, he called in the guard company commander Wang Ye.
"Batalion Commander, are you looking for me?"
"Well, I have a task for you."
"What mission?"
"It's been almost a month since the monk took the special operations company out. It's time to take a rest. Send two people to Yuci to look for them and ask them to withdraw."
During this period, Yang Yuanshan knew from the reward prompts that popped up from time to time in the system that the special operations company was still tormenting the little devils, and the gains were considerable.
Wang Ye couldn't help but be very disappointed after hearing that it was just this mission.
He thought the battalion commander wanted to attack somewhere else!
After nodding in agreement, he went out and arranged for two reconnaissance platoon soldiers to ride on two bicycles and set off overnight.
…
Wang Ye went out, and Yang Yuanshan looked out the window and found that it was getting dark.
I was immediately ready to call Zhang Xiaohe and have dinner together.
After dinner, I had to go with the company and platoon commanders to listen to instructor Zhou Xianpei's class.
The rules of our army have always been to organize soldiers to learn ideas, combat experience, literacy, writing, etc. during their free time.
Now that the spy battalion is staying in Qixia Town, there are no combat missions. Of course, the time at night cannot be wasted, so Yang Yuanshan also asked Zhou Xianpei to be a teacher, giving lessons to the company and platoon leaders.
Yang Yuanshan himself couldn't write traditional Chinese characters, so he took this opportunity to learn it.
He didn't want to wait until he became a general in the future, and it would be too embarrassing to write an order or something with a lot of typos.
As for waiting for simplified characters, we have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse!
But before he could call Zhang Xiaohe, a sentry rushed in from outside and reported:
"Report to the battalion commander, the new regiment commander Ding is here!"
What? Ding Wei is here?
Aren't they in the Yang County area?
Why did you come to our Qixia town? "
Yang Yuanshan's mind was filled with questions.
But he still ordered quickly:
"Please come in quickly."
…
After a while, the sentry led Ding Wei and his guard squad into the yard. Yang Yuanshan quickly greeted:
"Captain Ding, why are you here? Come in quickly!"
Then he shouted to Zhang Xiaohe:
"Xiaohe, take the comrades of the new regiment to have dinner, and by the way, give me and Captain Ding a copy too!"
Welcoming Ding Wei into his room, Yang Yuanshan saw that Ding Wei's face was livid from the cold and he was only wearing a thin and torn cotton jacket, so he quickly poured him a bowl of hot tea.
"Captain Ding, come and have tea."
Ding Wei took the hot tea and suddenly felt that his frozen hands had regained some consciousness.
Thank you quickly:
"Thank you!"
After taking a sip of tea and feeling a little warmer all over, Ding Wei explained:
"I'm here to ask for help."
"Asking for help? Your new group is surrounded by little devils?
Then just send a correspondent to report the news. Why come here in person?
It's freezing cold and it's not easy to run from Yang County to my Qixia Town. "
Yang Yuanshan was very puzzled.
Looking at Ding Wei like this, he didn't look like he was surrounded by little devils.
And with Ding Wei's ability, he wouldn't be surrounded when the Japs didn't conduct a large-scale raid, right?
"The little devils want to surround us with a new group, but they are still far away."
Ding Wei chuckled.
"Then what kind of help are you asking for?"
Yang Yuanshan already knew in his heart that Ding Wei must be here to beat the autumn wind.
Sure enough, Ding Wei spoke:
"I'm here to borrow food from you. The land in Yang County where our new regiment is located is so barren that it really can't feed our two thousand people.
In addition, if you have extra cotton-padded clothes, it would be best if you could lend me seven or eight hundred pieces.
This winter has been so difficult. "
Upon hearing this, Yang Yuanshan frowned.
Of course there is no problem in lending food to Ding Wei. They are all from the same brigade, and the new regiment is still his old army. He cannot just pile his own food in the warehouse and watch the comrades in the new regiment starve.
But he didn't want to solve Xinyi Tuan's problem by borrowing food.
After all, if you take the mountain road from Qixia Town to Yangxian area, it is nearly two hundred kilometers!
It would be too troublesome to transport a large amount of food over such a long distance!
He rolled his eyes and said immediately:
"Captain Ding, our battalion is indeed not short of food. It's no problem to lend you some, but transportation is a big problem!
The mountain roads are difficult to travel, and we are short of mules and horses. With a group of 2,000 people, you will consume at least tens of thousands of kilograms of grain in one winter! "
What he said was of course an excuse.
Now in the secret service camp, including Wei Dayong's special operations company, there are a total of 220 bicycles. If they are all welded to the shelves and one bicycle transports 200 kilograms of grain, that would be more than 40,000 kilograms of grain in one trip, which can directly solve the problem of Ding. Great question.
It would not take more than ten days to transport tens of thousands of kilograms of grain back and forth!
"I can send people to transport it myself, as long as you are willing to borrow food!"
When Ding Wei heard that Yang Yuanshan was willing to borrow food, he was immediately elated and thought to himself: This guy is much more cheerful than that guy Li Yunlong!
Honesty!
Alas, it's a pity that I was fooled by Li Yunlong before and actually let this kid go.
Regret!
If this kid is still in the new group now, can he also have thousands of troops?
Regret!
Seeing Ding Wei say this, Yang Yuanshan suddenly felt a little numb.
This is not what he thought!
He said quickly:
"Captain Ding, borrowing is not an option. I borrowed your food today and it will be all eaten in a few months. What should I do?
Aren't the leaders in our hometown preaching 'do it yourself, have enough food and clothing'?
In my opinion, we’d better solve it ourselves!
The New Regiment is my old army, and I don’t want to see my comrades go hungry all the time! "
After listening to his words, Ding Wei immediately understood that this boy had something up his sleeve.
I can only ask:
"Yang Yuanshan, what do you think? Why don't you just tell me?"
"Hehe, Captain Ding, you see, this time the New Second Regiment's shortage of cotton-padded clothes was solved by attacking Shouxian County, how about your New Regiment do the same?
Our special agent battalion can send troops to help you with reinforcements! "
Yang Yuanshan took a quick look and revealed his fox tail.
If his superiors don't allow him to take the initiative to attack the Japs on a large scale, then it makes sense for him to send some people to help his brother troops fight and reinforce them, right?
When Ding Wei heard this, he couldn't help but become more suspicious and asked quickly:
"Yang Yuanshan, what are you doing?
Do you want to get more spoils after the battle? "
"Hey, Commander Ding, isn't it because our superiors don't allow us to attack the Japs on a large scale, but my secret service battalion, with thousands of people, can't always be idle.
Soldiers have to fight to improve their combat effectiveness! "
Yang Yuanshan looked helpless.
When Ding Wei heard this, he immediately wanted to hit someone. He thought to himself: Our superiors do not allow us to take the initiative to attack. This is to allow the troops to recuperate and restore their combat effectiveness. But you are so good, you still think it is too idle to fight without fighting?
This is so fucking outrageous.
However, he also understood Yang Yuanshan's plan. When he thought about Kong Jie's attack on Shouxian County and Li Yunlong's trouble in writing an inspection, he chuckled:
"Yang Yuanshan, you kid are really not afraid of Li Yunlong coming to whip you!
Was it you who instigated Kong Jie's new second regiment to attack Shouxian County?
Li Yunlong was implicated and was ordered by the brigade commander to write an inspection.
Now you are inciting our new group to take action. When the brigade commander gets angry and withdraws Li Yunlong, he will definitely rush to Qixia Town and slap you hard! "
"Haha, Captain Ding misunderstood.
Commander Kong's visit to Shou County has nothing to do with our spy camp!
As for whether the regiment commander will be dismissed by the brigade commander, what does that have to do with me, Yang Yuanshan?
I haven't done anything!
If you want to cause trouble, it’s because of what your new regiment did to implicate our group leader! "
Yang Yuanshan refused to admit it and broke out with actor-level acting skills.
Of course he is not worried about Li Yunlong being dismissed. After so many years, has Li Yunlong not done enough things that violate disciplines?
Missing one or two things?
How many times has he been removed from office?
Will it influence him to become the leader of his independent group?
If he really offended the brigade commander and the boss this time, at worst, he would go out of his way and send 20 cannons to the brigade commander and boss each, ensuring that the leaders would ask Li Yunlong to write another inspection at most.
Seeing how shameless this guy was, Ding Wei also laughed.
"Hahahaha, you boy, you really have a bit of Li Yunlong's shameless energy!"
"Haha, no prizes, no prizes!
I'm still far behind the leader. "
Yang Yuanshan waved his hand.
…
After laughing, Ding Wei asked seriously:
"What do you want to do, kid?"
"Of course Shuiquan Coal Mine!"
Yang Yuanshan reported his goal.
In fact, his ultimate goal is of course Shuiquan, the core city in northwestern Shanxi.
But now his superiors don't allow it, so he has no choice but to change the forced push to Shuiquan into the piecemeal plan like now. He will slowly eat up Shuiquan's troops first, and then wait for a suitable opportunity to swallow up the city.
"Good boy, you have a big appetite!
Shuiquan Coal Mine is not easy to fight. The Japs have built many gun towers and bunkers here, and there are also many troops stationed there. The most important thing is that it is too close to Shuiquan!
Drilling for coal mines is not much different from fetching water springs. "
Ding Wei sighed.
"Haha, there is still a difference.
When attacking coal mines, on the one hand, the Japs can send at most half of their troops from Shuiquan to support us, so it will be relatively easy for us to capture them.
On the other hand, there is no need to face the solid city defenses and permanent fortifications of Shuiquan City! "
Yang Yuanshan explained.
"Difficult! It's too difficult!"
Ding Wei shook his head.
He was near Yang County during this period, so he naturally didn't think much about the situation nearby.
He had also made plans for Shuiquan Coal Mine, but he didn't dare to have any ideas, because he knew that with the strength of the New Regiment, if he wanted to make plans here, he would have to be prepared to suffer more than half of the casualties!
Not worth it!
The war cannot be fought like this!
"Haha, Commander Ding just needs to make up his mind and let your regiment initiate the battle.
When the time comes, our special agent battalion will be responsible for the attack. I guarantee that you, Captain Ding, can take over the coal mine!
At the end of the day, the spoils are divided, and our special agent camp can also take less.
How about it? "
Yang Yuanshan knew that Shuiquan's troops were currently extremely scarce. Once the Shuiquan Coal Mine was attacked, there would not be many troops available to support it.
That's why he was so generous.
When Ding Wei heard this, he did not answer immediately, but pondered for a while. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he asked tentatively:
"Yang Yuanshan, tell me honestly, are you not only thinking about mining coal mines, but also thinking about water springs?
You encouraged Kong Jie to attack Shouxian County, and Shuiquan also sent a force to support, but you eliminated it.
Now if you fool me into taking the Shuiquan coal mine, you will definitely greatly weaken Shuiquan's military strength.
It seems that you are purposefully destroying Shuiquan's little devil's vitality! "
Seeing that Ding Wei actually saw his purpose, Yang Yuanshan had to admire the other party's overall view and strategic vision.
This guy is indeed a handsome guy!
He nodded honestly and said:
"good.
Shuiquan is the most important city in northwestern Shanxi. Of course I want to find an opportunity to win it.
At that time, we, the Eighth Route Army, will have the final say in northwest Shanxi, and the little devils will not be able to come in again.
With such a vast base area in hand, we can go east and enter Jizhong, and go south and connect with the Taihang Military Region. By then, the situation in the entire Jin region will change drastically! "
Ding Wei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but sigh:
"Good guy, you have such a big appetite! If you didn't know better, I would have thought you were a brigade commander or a division commander!"
"How about it?
Commander Ding, do you want to do it? "
Yang Yuanshan worked hard to encourage.
"Taking down the coal mine will not solve our new group's problem of lack of food and clothing. There is a lot of coal in the coal mine, but not much food and cotton clothes, right?"
Although Ding Wei was very excited, he was more sober.
The most important thing for the New Second Regiment now is food and cotton-padded clothes, not fighting against the little Japanese.
"How could it not be solved?
The little devil is in the huge Shuiquan Coal Mine. There must be hundreds of military, police and management personnel at least, right?
Aren't they all wearing cotton clothes?
Give it all to him!
Those thousands of coal miners must eat, right? There must be food for these people in the coal mine for at least a week or two, right?
Twenty to thirty thousand catties of grain are always available.
By then, if these are seized, won't your problems be solved?
We can even encourage these coal miners to join our team!
The benefits are huge. "
“This is too big a deal, I’ll think about it again.
You kid doesn’t know that because the brigade commander asked Li Yunlong to write about the inspection, Li Yunlong sent someone to call Kong Jie and me to his regiment headquarters and gave us a stern warning not to cause trouble again.
Now if we attack Shuiquan Coal Mine again, it will be really difficult to explain.
Even the brigade commander couldn't fool him. "
Ding Wei still shook his head.
Seeing what he said, Yang Yuanshan stopped persuading him.
Just at this time, Zhang Xiaohe arrived with dinner.
Yang Yuanshan immediately asked Ding Wei to eat first.
When Ding Wei saw their food, he couldn't help but sigh:
"The life in your secret service camp is so nourishing!
Not only can I eat such good mixed-noodle steamed buns, but I can also eat meat! "
Yang Yuanshan chuckled and explained quickly:
"Hey, isn't this the previous episode where I helped Commander Kong attack Shouxian County and seize 10 pigs? Commander Ding, you also caught up.
In two days, these 10 pigs will be eaten, and we will have to eat boiled cabbage again. "
Ding Wei glanced at Yang Yuanshan's shiny face and thought to himself: I believe you are a ghost!
