As for Bai Shujie, Shao Benliang has only heard of it, and he simply scoffs at the cautious behavior of the Japanese and "Teacher Cai".

He believed: "The messy battlefield shows that the enemy is short of time and is a hasty retreat. If you can start the operation as soon as possible, you can catch the enemy's tail. If it drags on like this, all the clues of Zuihou will be broken, and it will be difficult to find it. ”

I don't know for what reason, the Japanese advisers were noncommittal to Shao Benliang's suggestion, the reason was because the first task given to him by the Kwantung Army was to ensure the safety of Lianshan Pass, otherwise he would be a sinner of the empire. Therefore, the consultant felt that safety was now the first priority, and tracking the enemy was still secondary, and it was not appropriate to have a major operation for the time being.

When the master's word is a holy decree. To be a dog is to have the consciousness of being a dog, as soon as the consultant spoke, Shao Benliang and "Teacher Cai" didn't even dare to let out a fart except for "Haiyi".

According to the instructions of the adviser, Shao Benliang sent two companies to the countryside, the main purpose of which was to arrest the people and go back to build barracks and revitalize the headquarters of the garrison brigade.

At noon on the ninth day of entering Waist Ridge, Bai Shujie finally waited for the news he wanted! Therefore, Bai Shujie summoned Wei Chong, Zhao Sanbao, Xiao Lamei, and Wang Xinlan to convene a military meeting in the afternoon of the same day to make comprehensive arrangements.

"Today, Wang Sanju came back to report that Shao Benliang's two companies came out, and they were active in the area of Sandaohe and Yangjiabao, and the main purpose was to arrest laborers." Bai Shujie was succinct: "These two companies are only a mountain beam away from us, and the threat to us is too great!" Let's talk about what to do. ”

Xiao Lamei said, "Do you want to eat them?" Isn't that exposing us in advance? ”

"Yes, as long as we have a dozen here, this area will definitely be searched by dragnets, and the cave will definitely not be hidden. Zhang Erleng can't be transferred long distances now, and once the wound bursts, it will be dangerous. Wei Chong also shook his head: "As a last resort, I don't approve of doing it." Bear with it, and maybe they'll go back. ”

Zhao Sanbao nodded and said, "The captain's idea is very good, he should fight!" But don't break them all up. After knocking them hard, take them away and go as far as you can! In this way, we can give the enemy a false impression and at the same time achieve the purpose of protecting our secret camp. ”

"I think there's another possibility that should be considered." Wang Xinlan shook her head and said with a smile: "Although I have never commanded a battle, if I am Shao Benliang. Since we can't find the enemy, we will find a way to get the enemy to come to us. Therefore, the two companies that are released are a decoy if they are not done well! In this sense, Shao Benliang probably suspected that we were in this vicinity. ”

Bai Shujie listened to the speeches of the four people, and nodded slightly: "Lamei and Wei Chong didn't understand what I meant, and Sanbao and Xinlan only said half of it. The strategy of the Three Leopards can be used as a first step, and at the same time, it also solves Xinlan's worries. But that's not enough! Come and see—"

With a swipe, Bai Shujie's big map opened: "Motianling is 20 kilometers northwest of us, and it is more than ten kilometers away from Lianshan Pass. Yangjiabao is about five kilometers north of us and more than ten kilometers southeast of Motianling. So Xinlan's worries were right, Shao Benliang's two companies seemed to be alone, but even Shanguan and Motianling could be reinforced at any time. From this, it can be judged that it is very likely that these two will be used as bait! ”

"However, anyone who has ever fished knows that many times the bait is lost and the fish is not caught. Since Shao Benliang wants to fish, then we will plan and bite his bait hard! Then as the three leopards said, lead them away, but not as far away as possible, but as beneficial to us as possible! ”

"You see, Weizigou, which is more than 20 kilometers west of us, is it a very good place to cross the river? So, I decided to send a squad out and hit the enemy guy hard. Then retreat southwest along the ravine, passing through Gaojiabao and Orchid Ridge to the west, giving the enemy the illusion that we are going to cross the river to the west on the line of Weizigou! ”

"At the same time, our other two squads set off ahead of schedule and rushed to Weizigou to build a position and hit him in an ambush! Let Shao Benliang's dog have a long memory, don't be too arrogant! The key to this ambush battle is to master the fire. It can bring the enemy out, but it can't make the enemy stick. Which of the two of you would dare to go? ”

Wei Chong smiled and said, "Naturally, I went!" I led a squad to lure the enemy, and once the enemy began to reinforce me, I fought and retreated. ”

Zhao Sanbao had no way to compete with Wei Chong, in Chengde, Wei Chong was the battalion commander, he was the company commander; Here, Wei Chong is the platoon commander, he is the deputy platoon commander. Therefore, he said indifferently: "I don't care, whether it is to lure the enemy or ambush, I promise to complete the mission!" ”

"That's okay, Wei Chong led a squad responsible for the task of luring the enemy, equipped with three mortars, and the firepower was fierce. If you can't take it away after fighting, throw it away. Xiao Lamei accompanied a radio station to keep in touch at any time. Sanbao and I led the second and third classes to the predetermined location to set up an ambush, and Qiu Wanyou's fourth class stayed in the secret camp. However, Wei Chong will set off in the second half of the night today, interspersed from the North Fort, and the target cannot be exposed along the road, and he will launch an attack at noon tomorrow. ”

Bai Shujie said: "After the ambush battle, Wei Chong led a group to cross the river and go westward, find a few traitors who maintain the association to deal with it, and make the momentum bigger. Then concealed his whereabouts and advanced lightly, and returned directly to the secret camp of Tianhua Mountain. Watch out for new fighters in battle, you should know what I mean. After this battle, we will return to the secret camp of Tianhua Mountain, and unreliable people must not step into half a step! Now everyone go and prepare, don't tell the fighters what to do, pay attention to secrecy. ”

At nine o'clock in the evening of the same day, Wei Chong led a group to set off first. Because there were three mortars and a base number of shells, three pack horses were taken. In order to ensure firepower, Wei Chong asked Bai Shujie for permission and replaced the four rifles with four machine guns. In this way, the entire squad of 18 people is eight machine guns and three mortars.

At the same time, Bai Shujie specially found Qiu Wanyou and asked his four classes to strictly guard the secret camp. In case of irreversible changes, just let the people go, then blow up the weapons and ammunition, and carry Zhang Erleng away. Human life is as big as the sky, and everything else is secondary.

Like Wei Chong, the second and third squads led by Zhao Sanbao also put down their rifles and replaced them with crooked machine guns. In addition, six mortars and six grenadiers were brought with them, and six pack horses were naturally needed.

Originally, Bai Shujie let the baggage squad stay in the secret camp to strengthen the defensive ground, but everyone wanted to participate in the battle. Considering that the scale of future battles may expand indefinitely, Bai Shujie Zuihou agreed to the application for the baggage class. In this way, the total number of people participating in the ambush reached 48 people, and 20 crooked machine guns.

This does not include Bai Shujie, Wang Xinlan, Liu Cuihua, and Liu Wanruo. Bringing Liu Wanruo is to use her to send a report, and Wang Xinlan is not yet exposed.

In order to conceal his whereabouts, Bai Shujie ordered everyone to walk along the ridge. Although the road is difficult, there are no ordinary people. If someone is found to be probing his brain on the way, it must be the enemy's spies, and there is no mercy for killing! I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one, that's what I'm talking about at this time. The kindness of a woman will be bad at this time!

Walking on the ridge, especially in the middle of the night, if you don't have two hits, you must not talk big. Don't say whether you can climb it or not, if you can guarantee that you don't fall into the cliffs on both sides, you win. Fortunately, the fighters of the reconnaissance battalion practiced this, and it was naturally them who opened the way ahead.

As a result, it was not until three o'clock in the morning that he crossed the large ravine to the southwest, and then continued to climb the ridge to the west, all the way up the mountain and over the ridge. After this march, Lu Wanqing and his original brothers finally understood a truth: the reason why the Youyan anti-Japanese detachment has such a big reputation is not for nothing!

It is said that in order to keep it secret, Wei Chong actually adopted the method of the ancients, and added a halter to the three pack horses to prevent the horses from calling. He cut off a little devil's military coat and bandaged the horse's hooves. Then he ordered that all men must bite a short stick, and if they did not want to bite the stick, they should bite the bayonet, and anyway, they should have a cough.

However, this time is different from the raid on the Motianling Guandi Temple, and there is no need to be in a hurry. The most important thing is to keep it secret, and it is absolutely impossible for others to be aware of the existence of the secret camp, and then suddenly appear at the foot of the southeast mountain of Motianling. That place was the place where the raid was launched before, but this time the target of the attack was Yangjiabao in the east ravine.

The difficulty of this raid is that it must not harm the people in the village. So the battle needs to master the rhythm and not be brutal. Fortunately, the first squad was responsible for reconnaissance missions, so Wang Sanju knew the situation in Yangjiabao well. Shao Benliang's two companies were stationed in the village office and the ancestral hall respectively, and there was still some distance between them and the common people.

At about seven o'clock in the morning of the next day, Wei Chong's department arrived at the scheduled location. The trees are so dense that you can't find them when you hide here. Moreover, it is only three kilometers away from Yangjiabao in the ravine to the east, and it can rush down and attack at any time.

Lamei hurriedly set up a radio station and was ready to send out an announcement at any time! Others rest in place for three hours! ”

After Wei Chong arranged his troops, he found a hill and then used his binoculars to observe Yangjiabao at the foot of the opposite mountain. It was time for families to get up and make breakfast, but there was not much smoke in Yangjiapu Village.

But in an open area in the north of the village, more than 100 people could already be seen running around, and from the color of those clothes, Wei Chong knew that it was a puppet army. I don't know what I'm busy with, it's not like it's going to work, it's not like it's working.

"Could it be that the villagers are afraid of the puppet army and dare not get up and cook? This doesn't seem to make sense, after all, these puppet soldiers are here every day, and the common people can't go without food forever. Wei Chong muttered secretly in his heart: "The two puffs of green smoke in the north of the village should be the puppet army making breakfast." ”

Although there is a feeling of unsteadiness in my heart, I am ready to fly now. Wei Chong saw the situation on the other side clearly, and leaned against a tree to close his eyes and recuperate.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
