The terrain of Yangcun is somewhat special, running north-south.
There is a cliff behind the village with mountains on both sides.
The enemy wants to pass through Yangcun and head to Daxia Bay. There are two ways to choose.
Either enter from the village entrance and pass through the village.
Either don't pass through the village, quietly climb up with a rope from the cliff behind the village, and then go straight to Daxia Bay.
Among the information provided by Chen Feng, there was the fact that the Yamamoto special agent team was good at rock climbing.
If there are no troops stationed in Yangcun, no matter which way they go, it will not be difficult for the Yamamoto special team.
Li Yunlong quickly completed the reconnaissance of Yangcun's terrain.
Then he asked the communications soldier to notify the three battalion commanders to come to the regiment headquarters for a meeting.
The inner room of the new regiment headquarters.
First Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao, Second Battalion Commander Zheng Yu, and Third Battalion Commander Chen Dugu gathered around the Kang table.
On the kang table is a sketch of Yangcun drawn by Huang Erhu. It looks a bit sloppy, but the outline can be understood.
"According to intelligence, there will be a small group of Japs on the night of the 26th, passing through Yangcun, where our new regiment is based, to attack the Eighth Route Army headquarters."
Li Yunlong glanced at the three battalion commanders and dropped a piece of news like a bombshell as soon as he opened his mouth.
The three battalion commanders couldn't help but look at each other, their expressions a little solemn.
Zhang Dabiao was the first to understand Li Yunlong's intention and asked: "Captain, do you mean that we kill him in Yangcun?"
Li Yunlong glanced at Zhang Dabiao with satisfaction: "That's right!"
Zheng Yu was thoughtful, thought for a moment, and then asked a series of questions.
"Captain, how many enemies are there?"
"How's the firepower?"
"Are we requesting brigade support?"
"Are the sources of intelligence reliable?"
Li Yunlong then said: "I can tell you the source of the intelligence, but you must keep it in my stomach and no one is allowed to reveal it to the outside world!"
"This information comes from Chen Feng, the God of Wealth of our new regiment. He also gave the information about the Kwantung Army transport team and the puppet cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town."
No matter it was Zhang Dabiao, Zheng Yu or Chen Dagu, they were not too surprised when they heard this.
In fact, they had already made guesses in their minds. Otherwise, why would the group leader suddenly become so well-informed during this period?
Now that Li Yunlong said it himself, it confirmed their suspicion.
Since the regiment leader said it was Chen Feng who gave the information, the three battalion commanders no longer doubted the authenticity. After all, Chen Feng's first two pieces of information made the new regiment a fortune.
This information is not surprising and should be true.
Li Yunlong continued: "There are probably more than 80 enemies coming. The time is on the night of the 26th. The specific time cannot be determined. The enemy's firepower is very fierce. They use all German-made Hei Mengfu 38 submachine guns, which are only worse than our Hei Mengfu 40 submachine guns. One thing, according to intelligence, all of these enemies are sharpshooters and have very strong fighting capabilities."
"This time we are working alone without consulting the brigade headquarters. If our new regiment cannot deal with this enemy with such strong firepower, it will be useless no matter how many people come."
"Our new regiment now has 16 Maxims, 16 artillery pieces, and 100 submachine guns, with sufficient ammunition, not counting the firepower of light and heavy machine guns such as the Type 92, Czech and Crooked Handle. Such fierce firepower is used to defend a city. How can you describe a small village?"
Zheng Yu said tentatively: "Is it impregnable?"
"That's right, it can only be described as impregnable." Li Yunlong said, "Such a powerful firepower can't even defeat the enemy, so then we can send one or two more regiments here as a gift."
The three battalion commanders nodded, and the regimental commander was right.
Then he looked a little excited again. Will a new group of heavy firepower finally be revealed?
Chen Dugu was the first to express his position: "Captain, we will do whatever you say!"
Zhang Dabiao and Zheng Yu also nodded in agreement.
"Since the Japs dare to come, I will choke them to death in the manure pit one by one." Li Yunlong said: "Look at this map, this is the entrance of the village, and this is the cliff behind the village. The Japs want to pass through Yang Village only with these two road.”
Zhang Dabiao glanced at the end of the village on the map: "Captain, I have seen the cliff behind the village. It is at least 15 meters high. Can the Japanese climb up?"
"I don't believe the Japs can climb up either," Li Yunlong said, "But Brother Chen Feng said that these Japs are special forces and are particularly good at rock climbing. This height is just a joke in front of the Japs."
Zheng Yu asked: "Commander, what are special forces?"
"What are special forces?"
Immediately, Li Yunlong told him again what Chen Feng had given him for popular science.
In order to prevent Li Yunlong from underestimating the enemy, Chen Feng deliberately exaggerated a bit and boasted that the special forces were capable of anything, both heaven and earth.
Zheng Yu and Chen Dugu were a little excited and yearning after hearing this.
Zhang Dabiao said: "Commander, I don't believe that these special forces are so powerful. Don't you often say that the best defense is offense? This close combat night combat is the specialty of our Eighth Route Army. If you ask me, don't bother with that. Isn't it just 80 little Japs? If the little Japs dare to come, our battalion can directly attack and annihilate them!"
Li Yunlong's tone left no room for doubt: "You can attack at other times, but not this time!"
Although Li Yunlong didn't quite believe that these Japs were so powerful, Chen Feng warned him again and again.
Li Yunlong had long since put aside his contempt and indolence.
Because Li Yunlong knew that Brother Chen Feng would not harm him no matter what.
Despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically. This is what Chen Feng said to Li Yunlong. Li Yunlong thinks it makes sense.
Zhang Dabiao glanced at Li Yunlong with awe in his eyes and stopped talking.
Li Yunlong continued.
"On the 26th, all the people in the village must be evacuated, and the second battalion commander will do the work."
"To deal with this group of devils, we don't need too many troops. In addition to the assault company of one battalion, each battalion will select 60 backbones to participate in the battle."
"The regiment headquarters will allocate 300 rounds of 9mm bullets to each person in the assault company to practice marksmanship, 500 rounds of training bullets for each Maxim, 50 rounds of training bullets for each rifleman participating in the battle, and 200 rounds of training bullets for the sniper. Although this is just to sharpen the gun before the battle, but No matter what, it’s a waste of time.”
Although there are tens of thousands of training bullets alone, the new group now has hundreds of thousands of bullets in stock, which can fully withstand such production.
As a veteran for more than ten years, Li Yunlong naturally knows that except for a few talented geniuses, most sharpshooters rely on bullets to produce their marksmanship.
Li Yunlong said: "I still have to think about the specific deployment of firepower points."
"Remember, don't tell the soldiers about this yet. If anyone leaks it out, I will skin him!"
"Okay, let's go back and get ready!"
The three battalion commanders shouted in unison: "Yes!"
…
The Japanese army's sneak attack plan was formulated under extremely top-secret circumstances. Only Yamamoto Kazuki, Shinozuka Yoshio and several of his close staff knew.
The Yamamoto special agent team set out from Taiyuan and had no contact with the Japanese military counties and strongholds along the way.
Taking a truck for a long journey, we headed straight to the inconspicuous small village of Daxia Bay in the hinterland of the Taihang Base.
