Seven o'clock in the evening.

In this cold winter season, the sky of Jindi is already gray, and the moonlight is also obscured by a few dark clouds tonight, even the eyesight of the old hunter, without the light of the fire, it is difficult to see things fifty meters away.

"Let's go."

Looking up at the sky, Li Yunlong, who was carrying a large blade, exhaled loudly.

Whoop······

A series of slight rope sounds sounded, and the soldiers of the two regiments took up their weapons and equipment one after another, carried ammunition boxes, led large mules and horses, carried all kinds of baggage, and drove towards the predetermined destination in an orderly manner under the command of the officers of their respective battalions, companies, and platoons.

During this time, there was not the slightest confusion in the ranks of more than two thousand people, not even louder shouts, and almost all the officers and soldiers kept their voices as low as possible.

At the back of the team, Zhao Gang stood on a high ground, looking at the smooth and quiet gray flow of people in front of him that blended into the night, listening to the small movements of the troops, he exhaled heavily, and his tense nerves relaxed.

The Independent Regiment and the New Regiment cooperated in an all-round way, and jointly organized a huge contingent of more than 2,000 people, which was far away from the station, and went deep into the hinterland of the Japanese-occupied area to carry out dozens of tons of materials transported by the Devil Raiders.

In this operation, there was no follow-up support, and there were no friendly troops, and they were completely on their own from beginning to end.

This is the first time for an independent regiment that a combat mission of this scale and nature has been carried out.

Zhao Gang was already under a lot of pressure in his heart, and he was always worried about accidents.

And after Li Yunlong decided to lead the team to annihilate the Wendian Village Devil Brigade, Ding Wei's identity was not suitable, and the work of unified command finally fell on Zhao Gang's head, which made him feel Alexander.

In this mission, once any accident leads to being discovered by the devils in advance, the blow to the battle plan will be devastating, which will mean that more than 30 tons of medicine and a large number of machinery and equipment that can know weapons are far away from the troops.

Fortunately, so far, everything is going well.

Even though the devils in Wendian Village are very vigilant, the railway is on guard 24 hours a day, and there are patrols around them all the time, but they have never been able to find the independent regiment and the new regiment hidden five kilometers away from them.

And when he saw these skilled and smooth fighters in front of him, the tension in Zhao Gang's heart suddenly faded.

Whether it is an independent regiment or a new regiment, it is a backbone regiment that has been established for more than two years, and it is an absolute elite regiment.

Needless to say, the old troops brought out by Li Yunlong, whether they are officers or soldiers, are all experienced in a hundred battles and properly at the level of the top main regiment.

As for the independent regiment, since Li Yunlong's arrival, it has gone through so many actual battles, supplemented by a large number of outstanding grassroots officers trained by the headquarters, coupled with the weapons and equipment provided by Boss Chen, as well as his cultural knowledge education, it is unceremonious to say that the regiment-level troops, the entire Republic of China, the independent regiment deserves to be the first.

Even those so-called elite regiments of the German mechanics have to walk around when they see it.

Moreover, for this mission, they had detailed information and made a detailed battle plan before the war.

Although the battle cannot go exactly according to plan, some unpredictable accidents are inevitable, after all, no one can predict everything, but the confidence that these fighters brought to Zhao Gang's heart, in the future, no matter what accidents occur, they have the ability to deal with it.

Seeing that the last few troops were also on the road, Zhao Gang touched the gun on his waist and followed with steps.

······

It's 10 p.m.

It is about a kilometer away from the Wendian Village railway line.

Li Yunlong half-squatted with a knife and looked at the battalion and company commander who had assembled.

"Act according to a predetermined plan."

Glancing around, Li Yunlong repeated the battle plan that had been formulated long ago:

"Ding Wei, Zhang Dabiao, the two of you lead the three battalions of the independent regiment, the artillery company, and the transportation company, plus the two battalions of the new regiment to deal with the devil army on the other side of the railway line."

"As soon as you get your stuff, move along the road, pass the bridge of the lake and go up the mountain, and remember to get some oil in the lake when you throw stones."

"Good!"

"Good!"

Ding Wei and Zhang Dabiao nodded at the same time.

"Wang Gensheng, Chenghe, the two of you take your respective teams to rescue the refugees who were imprisoned by the devils, and by the way, kill all the little devils over there, as for those puppet soldiers, most of them are bandits and bullies found by some devils from nearby, when the time comes, check it out, and kill all the ones who should be killed."

Grand Master Li's eyes flashed.

There are only more than 30 devil guards where the devils hold refugees and captured people, and there are more than 100 waste puppet soldiers, this amount of troops, for the special squad of the independent regiment, is easy to deal with, plus the new regiment of special service platoon led by Cheng He, it is almost foolproof.

"Okay."

Chenghe and Wang Gensheng nodded at the same time.

They had already read the information of Wendian Village, and knew what this group of devils and the puppet army had done, especially those puppet soldiers, relying on the support of devils, some of them were simply evil, so the tone of their responses was murderous.

Even if the head of the regiment didn't say anything, the two of them didn't plan to let go of this group of brutes.

Afterwards, Li Yunlong looked at the company commanders of the two independent regiments.

"There are two devil brigades stationed in more than 30 places around Wendian Village, as soon as we make a move here, they will definitely come over to support, a distance of more than 30 miles, and the devil car can be reached in an hour at most."

"You two each take a platoon and plant mines in their path."

"Each person brings five hundred, all of them are buried on the road, remember to bury them in sections, try to delay the speed of the devil's march, and then you will monitor the devil's situation on the road, and remember to notify immediately if there is any accident."

Finally, Li Yunlong reminded him:

"Even if the delay fails, don't fight the devil, retreat immediately, and report to the political commissar."

The battalion-level devil garrison, even if it is a half-brigade of 500 people, the support is at least the size of more than 300 devils in two squadrons, and it carries heavy weapons, and the troops of a platoon will not have much time to block it, so there is no need to die in vain.

"Yes."

The two company commanders nodded.

Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang: "Old Zhao, you can take the guards to command here in a unified manner." ”

This time, the troops are fighting on multiple fronts, and a unified and coordinated command is needed, otherwise there may be problems in the coordination between the various units.

"Okay."

Zhao Gang nodded.

"First battalion, second battalion, follow me."

Qiang, lifting the big blade, Li Yunlong got up and walked towards Wendian Village.

Behind him, more than a thousand soldiers from the 1st Battalion, the 2nd Battalion, and the 6 artillery squads of the artillery company followed, and the long line quickly disappeared into the night, thinking about the location of the devil's brigade.

"Three battalions, transport platoon."

"Artillery Company..."

"A new group..."

Immediately afterwards, Ding Wei, Zhang Dabiao, Yan Sheng, and Huang Baowang of the transportation company also led their respective troops, leading hundreds of big mules and horses, to the railway on the other side of Wendian Village.

"Let's go."

The last to set off were the two company commanders who were responsible for pinning down the nearby devil garrison.

The two of them took a platoon of soldiers, with nearly 500 German-made large tumors, and some self-made new gadgets, ready to let the devils hone their night demining skills.

······

At half past twelve o'clock in the evening, there was still an hour before the arrival of the Devil Army.

At the intersection of the railway and highway in Wendian Village, Zhang Dabiao, Ding Wei, Yan Sheng, and Huang Baowang met in a hidden place after completing their respective deployments to the troops.

"The explosives have been planted."

Zhang Dabiao, who was responsible for planting explosives to blow up the railroad tracks, spoke first:

"There is a devil's railway guard three hundred meters away from the intersection where we started, and there are two little devils in it, and my explosives are buried directly next to their sentry, and the distance is only more than thirty meters."

"These two little devils are hiding in the sentry to roast the fire, and they should be able to blow up together when the time comes."

With a mouthful of white teeth, Zhang Dabiao's tone was gloomy.

If it weren't for the fear of startling the snake, he would have wanted to kill the two little devils to relieve his anger, anyway, it was freezing at night, and there would be no other devils coming, as long as he acted quickly, he didn't let the little devils have time to issue a warning, but he still endured it.

But he was bold enough to directly bury the explosives thirty meters away from the devil's sentry, anyway, the little devil locked the sentry and sealed it, and there was wind outside, and the little devil couldn't hear the movement.

Dozens of kilograms of explosives, although they are all black powder, the power is not as strong as yellow explosives, but it can't withstand the large number, plus the gravel around the railway, after the explosion, the chance of the little devil on the sentry post surviving is very small.

"I'm ready for that too."

Iwamori then said:

"According to the length of the devil's army column and the location of the devil's armored vehicles, I will deploy two artillery positions in suitable positions, as long as the little devil's armored vehicles are ready to get off the railway, they can fire immediately."

"I promise to kill the little devil armored car in the first round."

His tone was full of confidence.

Although it is said in the information that the armored vehicles of the little devils will be located 300 to 400 meters in front of and behind the military column, and the position is not very fixed, but an error of only 100 meters will not cause any problems for the artillery company.

One and a half minutes of conversion time for the devil's armored vehicles is their dead end, and the artillery company has prepared a fire network composed of four guns for each armored vehicle, which is absolutely enough.

"It's okay to transport it."

Huang Baowang said: "The pallet truck ready to carry the machine, as well as the tools, have been assembled, and they are hidden near the intersection, and it only takes 20 minutes for me to complete the shipment."

The job of the transport platoon is to transport the heavy machine parts, that is, the two big guys who are almost a ton.

As for the other machine parts, those are not heavy, the largest is more than 100 kilograms, a big mule can resist the mountain alone, as for the medicine, part of it will be handed over to the big mules and horses, and the rest will be handed over to the three battalions, as well as the soldiers of the two battalions brought by Ding Wei.

The three battalions totaled more than 1,400 soldiers, and it was enough for no one to carry thirty pounds.

"Okay."

"When the time comes, you have to move quickly."

"Aim to resolve the battle within twenty minutes, including the loading and unloading of medicines and machinery, and not more than an hour."

Ding Wei nodded: "Also, inform the soldiers, try not to damage the medicine and machinery, and don't throw grenades to blow them up, otherwise Li Yunlong will drag his machete and chop us." ”

"Yes."

Zhang Dabiao's tone of response was a little smiling.

If they really accidentally damage the machine or medicine, the head of their own regiment may really drag a machete to chase them.

····

On the highway on both wings of Wendian Village.

The two company commanders who were responsible for planting mines also completed the laying of mines, and at this time they led their troops to hide in predetermined positions and informed the soldiers of the guard platoon who came to inquire about the specific operation.

"Every 500 to 700 meters, I prepared a minefield, and fifty mines were planted in each minefield."

The company commander's tone was full of confidence.

Being able to be selected for this task proves that he is a master of playing thunder in the independent regiment.

The company commander continued: "The minefield positions are all at the turn of the road, or after all, the road cannot be bypassed, and I can guarantee that the devil's reinforcements will not be two and a half hours, and it will be absolutely impossible to pass." ”

Demining at night, especially by these veterans, is not a simple matter.

As a company commander, he naturally knows that the devil uses a metal detector for mine clearance, and to deal with this kind of detector, in fact, it is very simple, a piece of iron will be mistaken for a mine, and if the iron is removed, the mine will not be found.

Although the mines they used were all modified from German tumors, they took out the explosives inside, put them in a clay pot, stuffed some stones, and installed the fuse, it couldn't be simpler, and if there were materials, they could be completed in a few minutes, because there was a specific combat mission before departure, and this time, he prepared a lot of these mines.

Two and a half hours, still his conservative estimate.

·····

On the other side, Li Yunlong also prepared his position, and his deployment was no different from what Zhang Dabiao said before.

It's just on a larger scale.

Three companies plus half of the artillery fire of the artillery company were deployed on the frontal defense line, one of which was a reserve, and with a small force, it lured the devils to launch a group attack, and then launched an attack on four companies on both sides of the flank, dividing and encircling the devils.

After the last connection, the devil's retreat was cut off and the devil was completely surrounded.

Two battalions, four companies, and an artillery company, totaling 1,000 people, are ready to wipe out all the little devils in Wendian Village.

When the soldiers of the guard platoon gathered the news from all over to Zhao Gang, it was already ten o'clock in the middle of the night, and at this time, in the field of vision of Zhao Gang, who was standing on the top of the mountain, a bright pillar of light lit up in the distance, and he saw the headlights of the Devil Army Train pulling locomotive.

"Here we are."

Zhao Gang took a deep breath, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

"Here we are."

In the encirclement positions deployed by the first and second battalions on the periphery of Wendian Village, Li Yunlong held a telescope and looked at the devil army that was gradually approaching in the distance, and he grinned with big white teeth.

"Here we are."

At the intersection of the railway and the highway, Zhang Dabiao, who heard the steam snorting sound and the clanging sound, put down the telescope in his hand and pinched the drawing lead of the explosives.

"The devil train is coming, prepare."

Iwamori ran to an artillery position and operated a Type 92 infantry gun himself.
