The rain in Taihang Mountain fell intermittently, in the morning the sun was still shining, the situation was thousands of miles, and after a gust of wind in the afternoon, the raindrops began to fall??? Bayi Chinese? Net???. This year's rain is much more abundant than last year's, and I don't know if God is deliberately against the little devils, and the rain has been falling endlessly.

The combat units of the 33rd Independent Division continued to brave the rain to attack separately, although they were divided into countless individual combat groups, and the losses caused by a sneak attack to the little devils were not very large, but quantity can also determine quality.

When the guerrillas attacked, they did not rescue many prisoners of war, only a dozen at the few, and about 100 at the most, but the number of times became more and more, and the total number of prisoners of war rescued reached more than 3,000.

After the failure of the last plan to pretend to be a prisoner of war, the little devil began to change his strategy, and when he was repairing a fixed section of the road, he set up barbed wire and planted mines not far away, and everything was mainly to stabilize the road, no longer pursuing the guerrillas, just driving them away.

During this period, the soldiers of the 33rd Independent Division also suffered many losses, suffering several hundred casualties, and after it became more and more difficult to fight alone, the individual guerrillas began to assemble and prepare for a major operation. Of course, this order was given by Liao Fan.

On this day, the weather was gray, the wind was blowing, the trees were swaying in the wind, looking like waves from a distance, and a few drops of rain occasionally dropped from the sky, and then disappeared into the rocks in an instant. If you look north from the highest peak of Taihang Mountain, there will definitely be dense dark clouds rolling from that side, like thousands of troops and horses of heavenly soldiers and generals.

At this time, in some nameless valley, the black-pressed soldiers stood motionless, as if they were about to fight a decisive battle with thousands of troops and horses in the sky, but at this time the soldiers knew in their hearts that their enemies were not from the sky, but from the little devils underground.

"Lao Hu, do you want to say a few words?" Ma Wanzhong faced the five thousand soldiers of the first and third regiments in front of him, all of whom were selected by Ma Wanzhong and Hu Guoshan, and the rest of the soldiers had already returned to the station.

"Don't say it, I've never been as good as you when it comes to mobilizing in front of the station!"

Hu Guoshan is right, he rarely does station mobilization, if he has the opportunity to personally lead the troops to charge, with the regiment commander rushing ahead, it is better than any station front mobilization.

Ma Wanzhong was not in the mood to listen to Hu Guoshan's praise at this time, because tonight's operation was a large-scale operation, and the plan of this operation was discussed by their four regiment commanders, and then approved by Liao Fan, and the most important thing was that the commander of this operation was Ma Wanzhong.

"I don't know if the second and fourth have arrived at the designated location!" Since the establishment of the Fourth Regiment, Ma Wanzhong should call Li Weimin and Liu Chundao, directly in order, calling Li Weimin the second, Liu Chundao fourth, Hu Guoshan or Hu.

"What's the hurry, there's still two hours." Hu Guoshan, who was in a hurry, seemed unusually calm at this time, and he was not impatient.

"Can you not be in a hurry, you look at the weather, it is guaranteed to rain heavily in a while, if you can't reach the designated location, this operation may be stranded!" Ma Wanzhong was in an anxious mood, in addition to the weather factor, more importantly, if this operation failed, he, the temporary commander, would be mainly responsible.

"Don't worry, this operation will definitely be no problem, the intelligence shows that the Japanese army only has one brigade of troops, if it goes well, we can end the battle in two hours, as long as there is no big problem on Xiao Lizi and Liu Chundao's side, we will definitely be able to find out the five thousand prisoners."

The day before yesterday, Hu Guoshan's Third Regiment suddenly received a special piece of information, which was not sent by the intelligence system of the 33rd Independent Division, and so far they have not found out who this person is.

However, after seeing the content of the intelligence, Hu Guoshan gasped and breathed a cool breath mixed with rich water vapor, the Japanese army was ready to poison the 5,000 prisoners of war with poison gas after opening the road to Heshun County. In addition to scolding the little devil for being a brute, Hu Guoshan urgently notified Liao Fan and the other three regiment commanders of this matter.

After discussing with Ma Wanzhong and them, the four regiment commanders decided to unite their troops and rescue these prisoners, but of course they had doubts about the source of this information. In order to prove the accuracy of this information, Hu Guoshan had already arranged for soldiers to contact the intelligence officers in the county town.

However, the information obtained in the county town was not as detailed as the first information, which not only said that the prisoners of war were being held in Pingsong, but also pointed out that there was a Japanese brigade defending Pingsong, and there were two Japanese brigades defending around Pingsong. The firepower configuration and even the depth of defense of the three Japanese brigades were clearly written in the intelligence, which made Hu Guoshan have to believe that this information was true.

At the beginning, Hu Guoshan also doubted whether the little devil deliberately sent this information to them, and then waited for them to take the bait and solve them all at once. Of course, Hu Guoshan was vigilant about the source of intelligence and the intentions of the little devils, but when he sent soldiers to reconnoitre, all this was true now, and the most important thing was that even if the little devils took the initiative to send them the information, they would not expose their defensive weaknesses to them.

For the sake of 5,000 prisoners of war, Hu Guoshan decided to take a risk, so yesterday, he found the other three regiment commanders to discuss the matter, except for Li Weimin's opposition to this operation, Hu Guoshan, Ma Wanzhong and Liu Chundao all agreed, and finally they reported it to Liao Fan.

"Lao Hu, this operation all relied on your intelligence from an unknown source, and the lives of nearly 10,000 soldiers of the three regiments were hanging on this information." Ma Wanzhong was under a lot of pressure, obviously it was intelligence from Hu Guoshan, and he didn't know why Liao Fan wanted him to be the military commander of this operation.

It is precisely because this information comes from Hu Guoshan's hands that Hu Guoshan is extremely calm today, and he also knows in his heart that if the little devil really deliberately takes the initiative to send them such important information, this is a very, very big trap, and this trap buries the main force of the entire 33rd Independent Division.

"I believe this information is true." Hu Guoshan tightly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, the intelligence was true, as long as they dared to attack, the little devils of the three brigades would be a piece of cake, and they didn't have to work hard at all, their tens of thousands of troops could easily defeat them, and then rescue the prisoners of war. If the information is false, the consequences are unimaginable.

Ma Wanzhong ignored Hu Guoshan, he knew Hu Guoshan very well, although he was very calm on the surface at this time, but his heart must have been turning over the river and the sea, but he was suppressing, and he couldn't let himself explode at this time.

"There is still an hour, we are also going to act, I hope the second and fourth children will go smoothly!"

Ma Wanzhong glanced up at the gray sky, the thick clouds were getting closer and closer to them, the air was becoming more and more oppressive, the raindrops were more dense than just now, and water droplets were constantly sliding down on the leaves not far away, dripping in the wet rocks and thick fallen leaves.

The 2nd and 4th Regiments had moved two hours earlier, and their destinations were much farther away, with Japanese troops from Wuhan stationed in Sucheng and Xiazhuang respectively. The 2nd and 4th regiments were the insurance of this operation, and in case the information was wrong and the 1st and 3rd regiments were dragged by the Japanese army, the 2nd and 4th regiments had to do their best to hold off the Japanese troops from Sucheng and Xiazhuang.

However, this was a very dangerous operation for the 2nd and 4th Regiments, and once the Japanese learned the information, the Japanese troops in Hiramatsu might move south again, and the 2nd and 4th Regiments would be surrounded and would never be able to return to the sky.

This battle was a gamble, gambling on the lives of 10,000 soldiers of the 33rd Independent Division, Li Weimin never imagined that Liao Fan would agree to Ma Wanzhong's plan of action, this was too risky, but Li Weimin still resolutely carried out Liao Fan's order.

As for Liu Chundao, he is completely a stunned young leader, and the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. When discussing whether to take action, Li Weimin kept giving Liu Chundao a look, hoping that Liu Chundao would be able to deny this action. But Liu Chundao didn't seem to see his Master Li's glances, and resolutely agreed with Ma Wanzhong and Hu Guoshan's eyes.

As for why Liu Chundao agreed, Liu Chundao knew very well in his heart that the four regiments had been established for so long, all with the help of Liao Fan, since the end of the Flying Fox Ridge Campaign, he had changed his mind and studied humbly, and now he wanted to find an opportunity to practice his ability or prove the combat effectiveness of their four regiments. During the Jindong War, the Fourth Regiment, as an alternate member of the entire battlefield, had no chance to show his head at all, and he hoped that he would have a chance to show his head this time.

The mountain rain was about to come, and the wind mixed with the raindrops smashed on the faces of the soldiers who were marching hard, and the soldiers stepped on the muddy road, and followed the soldiers in front of them with deep and shallow feet.

Liu Chundao, who was walking in the middle of the team, kept looking at the watch, this watch was given to him by Liao Fan after the battle in Beitai Peak, since he had this watch, Liu Chundao cherished it very much.

At this time, the 2nd and 4th regiments had already rushed halfway to the distance, and according to their agreed time to attack, there was still an hour left, and at this time the 2nd and 4th regiments hiding in the valley also moved.

As the soldiers walked out of the valley, the sky was completely dark, the original sparse raindrops became more and more dense, and the rain continued to hit the faces of the soldiers.

The expected rain came fiercely, washing over the soft ground, gradually forming a murky stream that flowed into the endless fields in the distance.

According to the willing plan, the soldiers of the first and third regiments rushed to Pingsong, and suddenly attacked the little devil, and caught the little devil by surprise......
