After Zhang Dabiao was sent away, the soldiers of the secret service battalion also finished their breakfast, and immediately the whole battalion set off and continued towards Shuiquan Coal Mine.
After another day and a half, Yang Yuanshan finally arrived at Dazhai Mountain, more than ten miles northwest of Shuiquan Coal Mine.
The scouts came to report that there were several large hidden caves on the mountainside of Dazhai Mountain, which were convenient for hiding troops.
After Yang Yuan went up to the mountain to check, he was very surprised and immediately asked the soldiers to go into the cave to rest.
Then, while arranging scouts to recall Wei Dayong's special operations company, he sent someone to contact Ding Wei and asked him to come here to meet and discuss the specific details of the fight.
…
Early the next morning, Wei Dayong came back with the men of the special battle company, his face covered with dirt and dust.
"Batalion Commander, I'm back."
"Okay, monk, thank you for your hard work!
How is the enemy situation? "
"The enemy situation in Shuiquan City has not changed, it is still the 225th Regiment of the Little Japs.
But now this alliance only has the second brigade and a field brigade, with 1,100 people!
There is also an infantry artillery squadron equipped with four Type 92 infantry cannons.
In addition, there are some other troops directly under the wing headquarters, about a few hundred people. "
Wei Dayong answered excitedly.
"Good guy, the huge Shuiquan City has less than 2,000 troops. I really want to swallow Shuiquan!"
Yang Yuanshan couldn't help but lift his lips.
The current Shuiquan City is like a dumpling with thin skin and big filling, a soft persimmon!
"Batalion Commander, I like it!
Let our special operations company destroy the four cannons of the little devil and easily break into Shuiquan City. "
When Wei Dayong heard that Yang Yuanshan wanted to fetch water directly from the spring, he immediately volunteered.
After hearing this, Yang Yuanshan quickly touched his nose and forcibly changed the topic:
"Let's talk about it. Monk, you'd better tell me about the situation in Shuiquan Coal Mine!"
Shuiquan should be taken, but now is not the best opportunity.
The little devils must have at least one brigade of troops, relying on solid and permanent fortifications for defense. If the secret service battalion does not have twenty or thirty mountain cannons, a strong attack will definitely cause heavy casualties.
Once the time is delayed, the army from the Shimen area will come to help, and it will be miserable.
In particular, the little devil can even mobilize bombers from the Beijing Airport to bomb. Once thirty or fifty bombers arrive, even if his secret service camp is made of iron, it will be destroyed!
"The little devils built eight gun towers and six bunkers in Shuiquan Coal Mine, and were garrisoned by two squadrons of troops, as well as more than a hundred mine policemen.
It is said that there are two heavy machine guns in these gun towers and bunkers. Our guerrillas also tried to attack the coal mines and rescue the miners before, but they were repelled by these heavy machine guns. "
Wei Dayong looked a little solemn.
From his experience, he can also see that the Shuiquan Coal Mine is really difficult to fight.
Even if we use the artillery of the secret service battalion to attack those turrets and bunkers, it will take a lot of shells and time.
"Good guy, there are nearly 30 heavy machine guns in total. If there is a crossfire, it will be really difficult!"
Yang Yuanshan also frowned a little.
The enemy used solid fortifications and heavy machine guns to defend, and the advantage was too obvious.
“Battal Commander, why don’t we let us sneak into the coal mine and mobilize the coal miners to cooperate inside and outside?
We have discovered that there are four to five thousand miners in this coal mine, and they are whipped by the little devil policemen every day to dig coal. It is very miserable.
Once they can act together with us, the little devils will definitely be in a hurry. "
Wei Dayong suggested.
"no.
Thousands of people are useless in front of heavy machine guns!
It only increases casualties. "
Yang Yuanshan shook his head.
After traveling through time for so long, he has seen many sacrifices, but as a time traveler, he still doesn't like meaningless sacrifices.
Behind every miner is an ordinary family!
"What should we do?"
Wei Dayong also scratched his head.
"Monk, please go down and rest first.
The specific method of fighting will be decided after I discuss it with Commander Ding. "
"yes!"
…
Not long after Wei Dayong came back, Ding Wei came with the security squad.
As soon as he saw Yang Yuanshan's face and the greetings were finished, he frowned and said:
"Yang Yuanshan, this Shuiquan Coal Mine is not easy to fight!"
Yang Yuanshan nodded and suggested:
"We are all here, no matter how hard it is to fight, we still have to fight!
Come on, Commander Ding, let's go take a look at the terrain first. "
"good!"
In fact, Ding Wei had already checked the terrain of Shuiquan Coal Mine repeatedly, but since Yang Yuanshan wanted to see it, he didn't mind looking at it again.
The two led the security squad to the commanding heights outside the Shuiquan Coal Mine, holding binoculars and inspecting it carefully.
When Yang Yuanshan saw a mountain peak about three or four kilometers away from the coal mine, his eyes lit up and he immediately asked:
"Captain Ding, are there any enemy sentries on this mountain?"
"Of course, the little devil is not stupid. The mountain around here is the commanding heights. How could we not put a sentry?
My people have conducted reconnaissance. This mountain is called Mao Mountain. On the top of the mountain, the Japs built a small bunker. There was a small team of Japs guarding it. There was a heavy machine gun in it.
In addition to this commanding height, the Japs built small bunkers on the three or four higher mountains in front of the coal mine, and placed four or five people inside as warning posts. "
"Good guy, this defense is really tight!"
Yang Yuanshan sighed.
However, he did not lose confidence. After checking it carefully, he finally said to Ding Wei:
"Captain Ding, I'm going to send people to take down all the surrounding commanding heights, then set up artillery on the mountain and knock down all the gun towers and bunkers around the coal mine.
When the time comes, your new regiment of soldiers will raise a flag and attack from the south. Our people from the special agent battalion will attack from the north and west. With three arrows, they will capture the entire coal mine. "
"How to arrange the reinforcements for the little devil Shui Quan?"
Ding Wei asked with a frown.
This plan is too crude.
They didn't even consider the biggest threat of attacking Shuiquan Coal Mine.
"I still have more than a thousand troops to deal with them."
Yang Yuanshan smiled slightly.
"What? There are more than a thousand people? Where did you get so many troops?
I see that there are two to three thousand of you resting in the cave just now, right?
Did you also pull out non-combatants to fight?
This doesn’t have much fighting power! "
Kong Jie was extremely surprised.
"Hey, this is not a critical moment of blocking, how could I let non-combatants die?
It was I who persuaded Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion of our regiment, to lead the men of the first battalion to pretend to attack Shuiquan City from the direction of Taolingou.
There are currently less than 2,000 troops in Shuiquan City. If this happens, do you think they will think that we are attacking the coal mine just to provide cover for the troops attacking Shuiquan City?
After weighing the pros and cons, I think the commander of the Little Devils will definitely choose to defend Shuiquan City and abandon the coal mine. "
"Good guy, you are really good!
This time, our main force of six to seven thousand people was just to deal with a Shuiquan coal mine. This formation is really not small! "
Ding Wei's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but sigh.
Naturally, I cursed Yang Yuanshan for being such a fool.
He was actually able to fool Zhang Dabiao.
He couldn't help but asked curiously:
"Zhang Dabiao, I heard that he has the same virtue as Li Yunlong. How did you trick him into getting involved in our affairs?"
"Hey, Captain Ding, what do you mean by lying?
Battalion Commander Zhang is my old battalion commander. Can I lie to him? "
Yang Yuanshan rolled his eyes at Ding Wei.
“Hmph, I don’t know the moral character of people like you in the Independent Group?
All of them look like that naughty Li Yunlong. If there were no benefits, Zhang Dabiao wouldn't move even if he was beaten to death! "
"Hahaha, Captain Ding, you are really good at judging people!"
Yang Yuanshan laughed happily.
Then explained:
"I promised to give Zhang Dabiao a thousand brand-new 38 caps.
He also told him that after we take over the coal mine, we can recruit miners as soldiers, and he came here in a hurry. "
"Good guy, you are really rich!
A thousand 38-guns, let alone Zhang Dabiao, if you give them to the brigade commander, the brigade commander will definitely send the 771st and 772nd regiments to help you! "
Ding Wei clicked his tongue in admiration, thinking that letting this boy go would be an eternal pain deep in his heart.
Every time I see this guy not taking his equipment seriously, I feel a lot of pain. It’s so painful!
…
The two determined the main offensive ideas, and then communicated the specific details, such as the specific attack time, the deployment of guard posts in all directions, etc.
The two squatted on the hillside, danced and discussed, and finally separated.
Go back and mobilize your troops to prepare for the attack.
…
Yang Yuanshan returned to Dazhai Mountain, the temporary base of the spy camp, and immediately called all the company commanders for a meeting.
"Comrades, I have discussed with Commander Ding that this time we will attack Shuiquan Coal Mine, our special agent battalion will attack from the north and west.
The specific launch time is set at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon! "
