Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Although the soldiers who performed this mission were all new soldiers, the soldiers of the first battalion were well trained, and night marching was also one of their daily projects.

The time when Zhao Gang led his comrades to set off was half past seven, when it was just dark.

The choice of time for night raids is still a commonplace topic, as long as it is within the time period from night to early morning.

Therefore, the first battalion had plenty of time. It only needed to maintain a speed between the regular march and the urgent march, and it could complete the fifty kilometers to Wanjia Town as planned.

In order to ensure safety during the march, after leaving the defense area of ​​the New Second Regiment, Zhao Gang sent soldiers to all directions of the army to conduct reconnaissance.

Fortunately, the road was smooth and no trace of the enemy was found.

At 2:30 in the morning, Zhao Gang led a battalion of soldiers to finally arrive at Wanjia Town after several hours of long-distance running.

With the help of the scouts, Zhang Dabiao chose a very secluded woods as a stopping point for the first battalion.

After looking at the watch on his wrist, Zhao Gang breathed a sigh of relief. The time spent on the road was about the same as he imagined.

Even though he was so enthusiastic yesterday morning when he was arguing with Li Yunlong about who would lead the team, this was his first time commanding a combat mission of this scale.

Fortunately, Zhang Dabiao was very helpful and helped him check for mistakes and fill in the gaps along the way.

With this experience of marching at night, Zhao Gang felt that he had a deeper understanding of the military theories he had seen before.

After everyone was on standby, he summoned Zhang Dabiao and a group of company and platoon commanders to discuss the time of attack.

Although this is the time when the puppet troops are at their weakest vigilance, the soldiers have just finished their long journey and need to rest.

Everyone looked at the timetable of the Japanese Railway Patrol and decided to launch an attack in an hour and a half.

The soldiers who received the order to rest quickly began to eat. In order to ensure that their combat effectiveness was not affected by excessive physical exertion, Li Yunlong specially ordered the cooking team to prepare cooking cakes and pickles.

In order to save space, many soldiers rolled the pickles in pancakes in advance and put them directly in their pockets.

It was very hot in Jin Province in July, and when the soldiers took out their midnight snacks, they even had a hint of residual warmth.

Zhao Gang was also very tired at this time, so he leaned against the tree and ate two cooking cakes, then took out the kettle and took a sip of water.

After a short rest, he got up and walked back and forth among the soldiers to check the physical condition of each comrade.

This is the first time Zhang Dabiao and Zhao Gang have gone on a mission together. The other person seems to be a scholar, but he does everything himself and doesn't do anything special.

Although some arrangements are a bit immature, the theoretical knowledge is definitely very solid. From the beginning to now, Zhao Gang has constantly refreshed Zhang Dabiao's view of him.

Da Miao looked at the political commissar in the crowd. He was obviously very tired, but he still had to care about the physical condition of the soldiers. At this moment, he suddenly understood why his regiment leader only took one day to get right with him. Eyesight.

He looked at the "thin" looking figure and even felt a little distressed, which reminded him of Zhuge Liang who became ill from overwork.

So Zhang Dabiao immediately stepped forward, held Zhao Gang's arm and said, "Political Commissar, you should take a rest quickly. We will attack soon."

In fact, Zhang Dabiao was stunned the moment he touched the opponent's arm. He didn't expect it to be so thick and hard. Isn't this just a table of contrast?

But now that the words had been spoken, Big Meow still took over the job of patrolling the camp.

In addition to fearing that Zhao Gang's body wouldn't be able to bear it, he also considered that his political commissar was an excellent marksman, so he needed to rest more so that his condition would not be affected for a while.

After circling the field for a week, snoring could be heard one after another in the woods.

Although this place is not far from Wanjia Town, it is beyond the patrol range of the puppet troops. The lazy Japanese devils only care about their own three-acre land.

In addition, Zhao Gang is very stable and has guard posts arranged in multiple directions, so everyone does not need to worry about the risk of exposure.

The town opposite was completely silent, with only the flickering firelight from time to time proving that there were traces of human activity there. At this point, except for the puppet soldiers on the sentry post, everyone else was sleeping soundly in the barracks.

After a while, the scout sent by Zhao Gang came back, and they walked directly towards the location of Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao.

After feeling someone approaching, the two of them immediately came out of their deep sleep.

"Political commissar, battalion commander. I have figured out the topography of Wanjia Town. There is a main road running through the center of the town. There are buildings on both sides of the main road. No auxiliary roads have been found."

"After my observation, the town only has exits on the north and south sides of the main road, and there is a squad of puppet troops stationed in each place."

"The tactical quality of this group of Japanese soldiers is really poor. I just saw several people falling asleep, and there are no security posts or mobile posts outside the town."

In fact, the moment the investigation results came out, these traitors were no different from dead people.

The advantage of the cavalry lies in their mobility and assault capabilities. As long as the two exits of the town are blocked, the terrain of Wanjia Town will become a good place to close the door and beat the dogs.

Zhao Gang didn't have to think at all. This was a perfect plan that even a child could come up with when fighting in a group. He sent people to summon all the three company commanders and twelve platoon commanders of the first battalion for a pre-war meeting.

"The puppet cavalry battalion is just ahead. Their combat effectiveness is not strong, but this does not mean that our task is not difficult."

"The difficulty is how we can ensure that we capture and train troops at the same time without causing any casualties."

"According to the information provided by the regiment leader, there is still an hour and fifteen minutes before the Japanese railway patrol team arrives here. We have enough time."

Zhao Gang took out a simple map and spread it on the ground. He drew it temporarily when he just listened to the scout's report on the terrain. He began to assign tasks to everyone and decided to divide the battalion into two parts.

In the first part, two companies led by the first battalion commander Zhang Dabiao went around to the north of Wanjia Town to ambush before the battle began. However, Zhao Gang emphasized not to take the initiative to attack the enemy and strive to create the illusion that the northern exit is safe.

In the second part, he personally led a company of soldiers, leaving enough time for Zhang Dabiao and others to launch an attack from the south.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Gang looked at the officers and said: "This is called empty-handedness to show emptiness. In order to make the defense of the battle unstable, there is a desire to stay or leave."

After waiting for a while, he realized that except for Zhang Dabiao, the expressions of the company and platoon leaders were a little confused.

Only then did he remember that he was not discussing tactics with his classmates from the rear, so he cleared his throat to ease his embarrassment.

"What I mean is that we leave an opening for the puppet troops to prevent them from jumping over the wall. We are here to capture the war horses to gain experience, and we must avoid casualties."

"I led a company of soldiers to apply pressure from the south. After entering the town, I found the stables as soon as possible, and then drove the enemy north."

"When the time comes, you two companies will give me a hard beating, but you must remember one thing! Don't kill the enemy who surrendered! Don't break discipline!"

This time the soldiers all understood, and their eyes changed slightly when they looked at Zhao Gang. The political commissar's physical fitness had already surprised them, but now he showed his talent in tactics.

Zhang Dabiao looked at the confident Zhao Gang, and he had already expected the puppet soldiers to kneel on the ground crying for their fathers and mothers. This made him shiver uncontrollably, and he said silently in his heart:

"This educated man is really dirty when he plays tactics."
