ALL NOVEL Chapter 15
More than half a month passed quietly.
During this period, the entire Black Cloud Village was immersed in intensive training.
There is no doubt about it.
Such high-intensity and scientific training is indeed madly improving the combat effectiveness of each company, especially the veterans and young men in the prisoner-of-war camp are growing rapidly.
Of course, the best among them must be the Wu brothers.
Wu Baili and Wu Qianli have very good physical fitness, and they train very hard. When others are resting, they are still studying how to improve their combat skills. Their tenacious temperament and smart learning attitude are enough to move Lu Zhixian. It is not difficult to imagine how fast their strength will improve.
"This is really a natural soldier!"
As a training instructor, Lei Zhan also admired him. Every time he caught Lu Zhixian, he couldn't help but suggest: "Captain! This brother will definitely be the trump card among special forces in the future. Let them join the special operations team?"
"No!"
"Why?"
"These two people will be capable of standing on their own in the future. Although the special operations battalion is important, they can't be bound by it!"
"But--"
"In short, there is no room for negotiation! Now I just give these two people to you to take them for professional training. When the time comes, the organization will still have to return to the company headquarters."
"Okay!"
Lei Zhan was also helpless when he said this.
With his eyes, of course, he could see that the battalion commander was actually right.
The two brothers' potential for special operations is indeed strong, but their real strength is not here.
"Report to the battalion commander!"
Just as the two were chatting, a signalman came in a hurry and quickly reported: "The scout has returned and brought important intelligence."
During this period, Lu Zhixian was certainly not idle.
In order to truly know both ourselves and the enemy, he had already dispatched scouts to the surrounding areas again, with the purpose of finding out the movements of the devils.
But what he didn't expect was that.
He soon got something.
...
Martial Arts Hall.
Many backbones of the battalion gathered here.
The scout immediately reported loudly: "Report to the battalion commander! A devil squadron was found to have suddenly entered Gejia Town, about 70 miles northeast of my station. The squadron looks like the devil's elite. Both its weapons and equipment and personnel quality are obviously different from other devils. Moreover, it has not come out since entering Gejia Town, and its behavior is very suspicious."
"Devil squadron?"
Lu Zhixian frowned slightly.
The organization of the devil's troops is different from that of other countries. A squadron has about 200 people, which is almost the same as the strength of a reinforced company, and its firepower configuration is several times stronger than many anti-Japanese armed forces.
Such a force is at least equivalent to a battalion of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army!
"Bring the map!"
"Battalion Commander!"
Wei Dayong quickly handed over the map.
Everyone quickly examined the surrounding terrain.
Just a moment.
Lei Zhan murmured in surprise: "I didn't expect the geographical location of Gejia Town to be so prominent."
"That's right!"
Lu Zhixian nodded, and said solemnly: "After the Japanese occupied this place, it was just like Shu Kingdom took Jingzhou. They can use the Zhengtai Railway next to them for supplies and launch surprise attacks on the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi Suiyuan Army at any time."
Yes.
According to the map.
This Gejia Town is located along the Zhengtai Railway, which is an extremely important transportation node for the Japanese. In addition, it happens to be located in the salient of the enemy-occupied area. It can attack the Eighth Route Army's base in the west and quickly invade the Shanxi Suiyuan Army's defense zone in the east. It is definitely a place of great strategic value.
Lei Zhan quickly raised the key question: "What exactly do the Japanese want to do by entering this place at this time?"
Everyone also fell into deep thought.
No doubt.
This place is really critical.
But because it is too critical, the Japanese can do too many things.
Consolidate the position.
Escort supplies.
Launch a surprise attack.
Various intentions are possible, and they can switch between each other at any time. It is even very likely that all intentions are their true intentions.
"Who cares!"
Wei Dayong didn't care, and shouted: "Battalion Commander! Since this place is so important, the Japanese just stationed a squadron, right? What's the big deal? We can just destroy it!"
"Not impossible."
Lei Zhan quickly pointed to the main artery in the middle of the map, and said expectantly: "The terrain around Gejia Town is complex and changeable, which leads to no other stations along the Zhengtai Railway. The nearest Hexi County Station is nearly 80 miles away. If we act quickly and eliminate the enemy before the Japanese reinforcements arrive, we can completely retreat."
"Ding!"
"It is detected that the host is discovering that the Japanese squadron is stationed in Gejia Town, facingFor this elite armed force of the devils, you can make the following choices;"
"Choice 1, the devils are stationed here at this time, although their purpose is unclear, but it is obviously not related to you for the time being; you just pretend that you didn't see it and continue to focus on development; reward 2,000 kilograms of fat cattle * 10 heads;"
"Choice 2, no matter what the devils' purpose is, they must target the anti-Japanese forces; you must treat it with caution and continue to monitor it closely; reward Browning light machine guns * 6;
"Choice 3, it's just a squadron of devils, no matter what their purpose is, you can lead your troops to wipe them out: reward special operations equipment * 30."
"..."
Just then the voice of the system suddenly sounded.
"I choose three!"
After hearing this, Lu Zhixian thought about it for a while and quickly made his own choice.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30 sets of special operations equipment, please check it!"
"..."
The voice of the system sounded as promised.
Special operations equipment.
This is really good stuff!
Although the Anti-Japanese Camp is currently training for special operations, if there are no corresponding weapons and equipment, the entire team will not be able to play the strategic effect it should.
This reward is definitely timely!
"Everyone!"
Lu Zhixian did not hesitate, and said solemnly: "The monk is right. Isn't it just a squadron stationed in the Anti-Japanese Camp? After this period of training and expansion, the overall combat effectiveness of our Anti-Japanese Camp has long been far beyond the previous one. This time, we will take the elite of the Japanese to attack!"
"Okay!"
Everyone was excited.
Soon.
Everyone quickly got busy.
Only Lu Zhixian was left in the huge martial arts hall, and he looked at the map and murmured: "The Japanese's big sweep will come soon. At this time, we must destroy the Japanese's deployment anyway."
Yes.
The reason why he chose to take the initiative at this time.
In addition to the rich rewards just now, more importantly, he was in greater danger.
Faced with the crazy rise of the anti-Japanese forces, the devils will launch a larger-scale sweep in less than two months, intending to eliminate various anti-Japanese forces in Shanxi Province, and the extremely dangerous and tragic Battle of Cangyunling will also break out.
Don’t think that the Battle of Cangyunling seems to be a great show of power by Lao Li.
But you should know that the Eighth Route Army Headquarters was crushed and ran around in this battle, and several main regiments suffered heavy losses. Even Lao Li’s New First Regiment suffered more than half of the casualties. If it hadn’t hit the Sakata Regiment Headquarters, the losses would have been even more tragic.
Since such a big battle is about to come, how can he remain indifferent at this time?
