Rise from the sword

Chapter 219 Preparations before the war
It was approaching morning hours.

There are still fifteen hours before the arrival of the devil army column.

Li Yunlong led the independent group, followed the narrow path in the mountains, and after a night of concealed marching, they arrived at the forest on the left side of Wendian Village.

In this operation to rob the devils' army column, almost all the independent regiments were dispatched. The first, second, and third battalions, artillery company, transportation company, special squad, and guard platoon totaled more than [-] people at the same time.

Only the recruit training camp and the cavalry battalion were left in Yangcun.

The cavalry battalion really wanted to take part in this combat mission. In the last defensive battle, as a reserve team, they almost had soy sauce throughout the entire process. As soon as they were about to join the battle, the devils retreated.

But mountains are not suitable for marching on horses. With the addition of more than 800 people in Ding Wei's two battalions, the strength of the troops is enough. There is no need for the hundreds of people in the cavalry battalion, and Yang Village can't be completely empty, even if the superiors have already Acquiescing to Li Datuan's troubles, but leaving a main battalion is also easy to deal with.

As soon as Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang got together, they ordered the cavalry battalion to stay in Yangcun.

As soon as the order came out, Sun Desheng jumped up in anger, dragged his saber and ran to the regiment headquarters to protest, demanding to join the battle. Why couldn't their cavalry battalion join the battle?Isn't it that horses can't march on mountain roads?That's enough without horses. Without horses, their combat effectiveness will not be worse than any battalion.

But in the face of the refusal of the political commissar and head of the regiment, Sun Desheng's protest was useless.

After giving Sun Desheng the hat of the person in charge of the defense of the positions around Yangcun, and handing over the command of the recruit training camp to him, Captain Li set off with the troops.

The army of more than 800 people, with [-] large mules, carriages used to transport machines, as well as weapons, ammunition, and food supplies, is very large in scale and can be said to be mighty.

With a detailed map and elite reconnaissance and security soldiers, under the cover of night, all the way to Wendian Village was silent. .

If it weren't for the cold winter season, almost no people would go to the mountains and forests at night, and the night patrols of the devils would be much reduced. It would be impossible for the large army he led to go to Wendian Village in secret.

"Leader, political commissar."

In the night before the early morning, Monk Wei and others came together to meet the large team led by Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.

"Have you found out where the troops are lurking?"

Li Yunlong asked Zhang Dabiao who was coming up.

There are still more than ten hours before the arrival of the devils' army column, and the members of the independent regiment have to lurk before dark, but it is not an easy task for such a huge team to hide and not be noticed by the devils.

Shanxi is vast and mountainous, but there are not many lush and complex forests. Most of them are sparse miscellaneous forests. This kind of place is hidden, and site selection is very important. Fortunately, it is cold winter and not many people go out, so the difficulty is much lower. .

The map shows that there are enough mountains within five kilometers to the left of Wendian Village for the Independence Regiment to hide, but the exact location still needs to be seen to be sure, which is also the main task of the vanguard.

"The troops can hide on the hillside over there."

Zhang Dabiao pointed to a hillside on one side, and then he explained the reason:

"It's on the back side of Wendian Village. The location is hidden. The whole mountain is full of rocks, and no one cultivates it. In this season, it is almost impossible to come here. It is a little more than five kilometers away from the railway line of Wendian Village. It takes about two mountain roads to walk. Hour."

The straight-line distance of five kilometers in the mountainous area can almost double the winding mountain road.

"good."

Li Yunlong held up the binoculars to look at the mountains in the distance, then looked at the map, and nodded in satisfaction.

This troop hiding place is very suitable.

"What about Ding Wei and the others?"

Li Yunlong continued to ask.

According to his understanding of Ding Wei, this time Ding Wei will definitely lead the team himself, and he will definitely arrive ahead of time. Although Wendian Village is farther away from the Xinyi Regiment's residence, Old Ding's temper will definitely arrive before him.

"Captain Ding arrived the night before, and has already taken cover on the hillside over there."

Zhang Dabiao's answer was completely within Li Yunlong's expectation.

"Hahaha, sure enough..."

Li Yunlong smiled, and then with a gesture, he led the independent group to the hillside to hide.

After arriving at the hillside, Ding Wei and Li Yunlong met in a hidden bunker dug out by a new group.

"Old Lee..."

"Old Ding..."

"Hahaha····"

After the two greeted each other, they gathered the battalion commanders together and began to discuss this battle.

Li Yunlong took out the intelligence materials about the devils' ranks and spread them directly on the ground covered with a piece of canvas. With the help of a beam of light cast from outside the bunker, he first smiled in a signature way, and he began to talk about his combat arrangements:

"According to intelligence data, our target this time will arrive at Wendian Village at [-]:[-] tonight, and the error will not exceed half an hour."

"Although Devil's trains are often not on time, this one is different."

"This is a military train. In order to ensure its punctuality, the devils will organize special personnel to dispatch other trains to avoid it. Moreover, seeing the news of the devils in Wendian Village, there are devils patrolling and standing guard around the railway 24 hours a day. You can be sure that this military train Will arrive on time."

"Don't worry we'll miss out."

Ding Wei nodded and hummed, expressing his agreement with Li Yunlong's point of view.

The rest of the battalion commander and others also had the same attitude. They all read the information provided by Chen Fan and knew the various measures the devils had taken to ensure the punctuality of the military trains, so they were not worried about the delay of the devils train.

Only Wang Gensheng, who was listening carefully, suddenly realized why he didn't send someone to confirm the specific location of the devil train.

According to what he thought, although the information contained the exact arrival time of the devil train, he had never seen a devil train that was on time a few times. Information on the train transporting grain, I planned to go to get some money, but I waited for a day and a night before it arrived.

Li Yunlong continued:
"The troops entered the predetermined position at ten o'clock in the evening, and Zhang Dabiao was responsible for burying the explosives in advance, paying attention to the hidden spots of the burial."

"Half an hour before the military column arrives, there will be a devil's railway patrol passing by. This group of little devils is responsible for checking the safety of the railway tracks. Don't let these little devils find out."

"Blind Xiong led a team to ambush the Devil's train. He suffered from this patrol team and was dispatched in advance by the little Devil. It was for nothing."

Speaking of this, Li Yunlong looked at Zhang Dabiao.

"I promise that the little devil won't find out." Zhang Dabiao smiled confidently.

He, Zhang Dabiao, has been in the army for more than ten years, and has been fighting with the little devil for three or four years. If he planted explosives in the middle of the railway at night and was discovered by the little devil, then he would be ashamed to be the battalion commander.

"Hey hey..."

Leader Li naturally believed in his capable men, and smiled with satisfaction. He continued:

"Different from the past, our goal this time is the machines on the train, so first of all we have to force the devils to stop, and we can't just blow up the little devils, otherwise we will lose ourselves."

"So blow up the tracks in front of the devil driver so he has time to stop."

"After the bomb explodes, Iwamori, it's up to you next."

"There are half a squad of devils on this military train, accompanied by a squad of armored vehicles, equipped with two railway armored vehicles."

"For us, the two armored railway vehicles are the biggest threat. Light and heavy machine guns are no threat to these things, and several grenades have to be tied together to blow them up. Once this guy is allowed to run, it will cost nothing to destroy it." big."

"You have to think carefully about how to use the two [-]-type infantry guns you brought this time to kill the devil's two armored vehicles in the first round."

In order to deal with the two railway armored vehicles of the devil's military guard, the artillery company brought all the two [-]-type infantry guns in the regiment.

"Yes."

Yansheng looked down at the intelligence materials of the Devils in his hand, without even raising his head.

He was thinking about how to quickly kill the devil's armored vehicle.
