Finally, there was a mission. After waiting for half a year, Ding Wei immediately ordered people to set up a tent as a temporary headquarters after arriving at Huangshupo.
After more than half a year of hiding their capabilities and biding their time, the new regiment can now be said to have strong troops and high morale. If they were thrown out, they would probably be evenly matched with the Japanese A-type unit Hard Steel.
In the headquarters, Ding Wei stared at the map on the table and pondered his mission.
After arriving at the target location, they surrounded the cement factory without attacking, exposed their troops, and trapped the puppet troops in the cement factory in order to attract the Yamamoto Special Forces team for rescue. During this period, the noise should be as loud as possible and the raindrops should be as quiet as possible, mainly to delay time and create momentum.
This is the first phase of the task, but this task makes Ding Wei confused.
According to this information, this cement plant located more than ten kilometers away from Chuliang was newly built by the Japanese. The output is not high, but it accounts for one-fifth of the entire cement consumption of the Japanese in western Shanxi. It would be reasonable to dispose of it directly, but the superiors want Obviously keep him and use him as bait to lure out Yamamoto, the old silver coin.
It's obviously easy to get rid of it, but why does the superior keep it?
Ding Wei didn't want to understand, but he also knew that his superiors must have deep meaning in doing this.
Just execute the order. As a soldier, although he has a lot of thoughts, he still chooses to execute it unconditionally.
After putting aside the problem of the cement plant, Ding Wei ran his fingers through the map to determine the terrain around Chuliang.
Next comes the second phase of the task, which is the most important.
"Yes, I promise to complete the task!" Zhou Jiancai stood at attention and accepted the task.
"Are we just going to stand around and not fight? The soldiers have been holding back for half a year. Why don't we do something practical?" Shi Zhijian, commander of the second battalion, asked first.
"The secret mission carried out by Captain Shen and the others has been completed. I can only tell you this much." Ding Wei said calmly and calmly.
On the evening of the 20th, he cooperated with two regiments from the fourth division to feign an attack on Chuliang. Then his new regiment detoured from the side to the rear of Chuliang, destroyed the Chuliang section of the Zhengtai Line, and attacked the Japanese granary to rob grain. .
Regarding these grains, naturally we can rob as much as we can. If we can't rob them, we will burn them.
"Yes! Commander, is there any news about Captain Shen?" Before leaving, Zhou Jiancai asked a question that concerned the entire investigation company.
After reorganizing his thoughts, Shen Chunliang called all three battalion commanders into the headquarters and began to arrange the task of surrounding the cement factory.
"Come in!"
He was the one who had the greatest military exploits half a year ago. He was really aggrieved because he didn't get any military achievements and was punished with an inexplicable punishment. Although he said it was for outsiders to see, he still had a fire in his heart that had not been vented. Originally, I planned to use this mission to vent my anger, but in the end, I got an inexplicable siege without fighting.
After looking at the map for a while, Ding Wei had already made a preliminary plan in his mind. Then he raised his head and said to the messenger, "Go and call Zhou Jiancai."
Chu Liang had a lot of food, so it was naturally occupied by the Japanese.
Zhou Jiancai walked out of the headquarters, and Ding Wei also sighed.
Although Dong Jinbao is not a general, with him around, the power of explosives can be increased by at least 30%. Although his combat effectiveness is not great, he is still a rare talent for the new group.
"Okay! Go quickly, leave one platoon for me, and take the rest with you. Remember, you must understand the terrain!"
"Then the company commander is still alive?" Zhou Jiancai continued to ask in a low voice.
"Yes!" The messenger responded, turned around and went to find someone.
"yes!"
The person who came was Zhou Jiancai, who was short and dark-skinned, about 1.65 meters tall. He was the deputy company commander of the investigation company. After Shen Chunliang left, he succeeded Shen Chunliang and took over the entire investigation company.
Ding Wei naturally knew about the capture of Shen Chunliang and the sacrifice of Tu Hanqing, but he did not want to announce the news at this time, because if he did, it would affect morale.
"Okay, hurry up and go, your reconnaissance company has a very heavy task this time!"
After the task assignment was completed, the battalion commanders of the three battalions expressed doubts and doubts about the task.
In order to complete the task of destroying the steel plant, his new regiment lost two and a half generals.
Not long after, the sound of "report" came from outside the headquarters.
"yes!"
When Zhou Jiancai heard that Shen Chunliang was still alive, his dark face immediately showed a smile of relief, and then he stood at attention and saluted, "Yes! I will complete the review seriously and guarantee that it will not happen again."
"Come on~" Seeing Zhou Jiancai come in, Ding Wei hooked his hand and motioned for him to come over.
After thinking about it some more, although Shen Chunliang and the other three were organized in the New Regiment, in the final analysis they were still Eighth Route Army soldiers and were not the private property of the New Regiment.
Zhou Jiancai came to the combat map and said, "Captain, what's your mission?"
"Be careful and don't be discovered by the enemy. If you are discovered by a suspicious person, the Japanese will kill you directly. If you are a civilian, please control it first. When the war is over, I will personally apologize."
"Stay alive! Stop asking, you have violated discipline now! After the task is over, write a thousand-word review and hand it to the political commissar." Ding Wei answered Zhou Jiancai's question, but reprimanded him in a stern tone.
Ding Wei stretched out his finger and drew a long oval, "From here to here, I must figure out the terrain of this area before dawn tomorrow!"
"The purpose of surrounding the cement plant is to draw out the Yamamoto Special Forces!" Ding Wei explained. In fact, he didn't need to explain, but for Shi Zhijian, he felt that he owed him a lot.
"Lead it out? I understand!" Shi Zhijian's expression improved a lot. As a battalion commander, he understood the general purpose of this mission after Ding Wei gave some advice.
Ding Wei nodded and continued, "Although this cement factory is built in Chuliang, the actual person in charge is Yamamoto Kazuki, the same Yamamoto who prepared to behead me last time. This old fox is really annoying. In our base area Many special operations teams were released to harass our base area. The coordinates they provided for the bombing of the field hospital some time ago. It was really disturbing to have such a group of flies buzzing behind us. So the superiors decided to lure him out. The reason why our new group was released is because we hurt them last time, so our new group has a grudge!"
"That's it!" Shi Zhijian nodded to show that she understood.
After the first phase of the mission was properly arranged, Ding Wei smiled and said, "Leading out Yamamoto is not our main mission. Our main mission is to destroy the railway and attack the granary! This is the real big deal, and there are two of the four divisions. Each group cooperates with us, so even if the Yamamoto Special Forces team does appear, we must pay attention to preserving our strength!" (End of Chapter)
