Bright Sword: I have a system for exchanging points for killing enemies

Chapter 332 If they met our independent regiment, they would wipe out all ten Black Cloud Villages

"Unknown number of people, unknown equipment, unknown location, how the hell do we check this?"

After learning from Yang Xiuqin that an unknown armed force had entered the Ping'an County area, Li Yunlong did not hesitate and immediately called Zhang Dabiao to the regiment headquarters to analyze the situation together.

Listening to what Li Yunlong said, Zhang Dabiao's face was full of confusion.

The information provided by Yang Xiuqin was too little. It only said that an unknown armed force had entered the Ping'an County area, and told how many people there were on the other side, who they were, what weapons and equipment they had, and roughly where they were.

None of this information was known. Even if Zhang Dabiao wanted to check it now, he didn't know how.

Moreover, they don’t have time to check these things. The troops will start fighting in half a day. How can they verify the information in such a short time?
"Captain, are you sure that the intelligence sent by District Chief Yang is correct? Is it true that a group of unknown armed forces have entered the Ping'an County area?

Are you sure you didn't run into some bandits? At that time, our Eighth Route Army took over Fu'an County, but we carried out a large-scale bandit suppression operation in Fu'an County, and the bandits in Fu'an County entered the Ping'an County area.

Could it be that the local comrades accidentally encountered bandits who had fled from Fu'an County to Ping'an County, and thought that other armed forces had entered the Ping'an County area?"

Zhang Dabiao was somewhat skeptical about the authenticity and importance of this information.

In Zhang Dabiao's opinion, Yang Xiuqin and others are just local comrades. The combat effectiveness of local troops is limited, and if they encounter some bandits or something, they have to deal with it as a big deal.

For the independent regiment, these bandits in the county area were just used as training ground for new recruits to practice fighting and see them bleed, and were not a big deal at all.

But for local organizations, if they encounter a group of dozens of bandits, they must be on high alert.

"I also hope that this group of unknown armed forces are bandits, but I am afraid that there are other guys who have entered the Ping'an County area.

The war will start tonight. If an unknown armed force appears at this time... it will add some variables to our plan... Our plan is already a bit risky, and with more variables..."

Listening to what Zhang Dabiao said, Li Yunlong rarely spoke and shouted anything about mobilizing troops to search and directly crush that unknown armed force.

This time, the attack on Ping'an County required all troops to conceal their tracks as much as possible in order to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese.

If Li Yunlong mobilized his troops to conduct a search at this time, the hidden troops would inevitably be exposed.

By then, the Japanese noticed that a large number of Eighth Route Army troops had entered the Ping'an County area, and they would definitely think that the Eighth Route Army was going to attack the county seat of Ping'an County.

The Japanese had guessed this situation in advance and made preparations in advance. There was no need for the Japanese in Ping'an County and the Zhangzhuang stronghold to strengthen their defenses. They only needed to let the 11th Brigade prepare in advance, and they could catch them off guard.

"Have the radio stations of the Pioneer Regiment and the New Second Regiment been turned on? Is it time for them to turn on? If they are turned on, send them a telegram immediately to verify whether they have arranged for people to go out and purchase supplies."

Thinking of what Yang Xiuqin said about the approximate location of the unknown armed forces, Li Yunlong considered whether the Pioneer Regiment and the New Second Regiment had arranged people to go out of the mountains to purchase supplies, and then they were discovered by local comrades.

However, the radio stations of the Pioneer Regiment and the New Second Regiment were turned off. They were only turned on for a short while late at night and at noon every day, and were turned off at other times. Therefore, Li Yunlong had no way to contact the Pioneer Regiment and the New Second Regiment for verification.

Listening to what Li Yunlong said, Zhang Dabiao spoke with some disapproval.

“Captain, I don’t think it could be the Vanguard Regiment and the New Second Regiment. Although they entered with light equipment, they also carried a lot of supplies and hid in the mountains.

Food, medicine and other things are enough for the two regiments to consume for seven or eight days. There is no need to go out to purchase supplies.

And...even if the two regiments arranged people to go out of the mountains, those people would most likely be the reconnaissance company of the vanguard regiment.

The soldiers in the reconnaissance company of the Pioneer Regiment were all retired from the special operations team of the Pioneer Regiment, and all of them are killers.

If a local comrade discovered them and tried to track them, Commander, do you think that comrade would be able to go back and report the news to the county party committee?

Tracking the soldiers who retreated from the Vanguard Regiment Special Forces, and then sending the news out intact... I think it was a bit too insulting to the soldiers in the Vanguard Regiment's reconnaissance company."

Zhang Dabiao didn’t think that the unknown armed force discovered by the local comrades might be from the Vanguard Regiment or the New Second Regiment.

If the local comrades can track the soldiers of the reconnaissance company of the Vanguard Regiment without being discovered, then when Qin Yangming returns to the Vanguard Regiment, the reconnaissance company of the Vanguard Regiment will have to be disbanded by Qin Yangming.

"Captain, if you ask me, it's most likely that they discovered some bandits.

When we took over Fu'an County, we reported that many bandits in Fu'an County had fled to Ping'an County.

The bandits from Fu'an County had no base in Ping'an County and were probably hiding in the mountains, but those bandits had to flee in a hurry.

It was impossible to carry a large amount of supplies, so they guessed that there was no supplies left. So they sent people down the mountain to buy them, but they were discovered by local comrades.

After knowing that they were being followed, the bandits did not dare to kill the local comrades and could only find ways to get rid of them.

No matter whether it is the local comrades in Ping'an County or the Japanese puppet troops, they are entities that the bandits cannot afford to offend.

If those bandits dare to take action, they will be killed the next day.

Captain, the largest bandit force in Ping'an County is the bandits from Heiyun Village. According to what District Chief Yang said, the location is exactly within the influence of Heiyun Village.

Maybe they discovered the bandits from Heiyun Village.

Although the Kuomintang's security team had surrounded and suppressed the village several times, and even the Japanese invaders had surrounded and suppressed the village several times, they failed to wipe out the Black Cloud Village.

But that was because Heiyun Village did not encounter our Eighth Route Army and did not provoke our Eighth Route Army.

Even if they are bandits from Heiyun Village, if they dare to challenge our Eighth Route Army, ten Heiyun Villages will wipe them out.

Even if the bandits in Black Cloud Village noticed something and wanted to take advantage of the situation, with our strength, dealing with Black Cloud Village would be just a piece of cake.

If you are worried about any problems, I can immediately lead a company of troops to sweep the Black Cloud Village."

Zhang Dabiao didn't take the news Yang Xiuqin told him seriously.

I just thought that the local comrades had discovered some bandits.

Even the most powerful bandit force in Ping'an County, Heiyun Village, was nothing more than a bunch of chickens and dogs in Zhang Dabiao's eyes.

If Ping'an County had not been the territory of the Eighth Route Army, bandit dens like the Heiyun Village would have either surrendered to the Eighth Route Army's investigation, or been forcibly wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, or escaped before the Eighth Route Army arrived.

Otherwise there is no other choice.

As for the idea of ​​fighting to the death with the Eighth Route Army, that was nothing but a joke.

Even ordinary regular troops of the Eighth Route Army are not something that Heiyun Village can deal with, not to mention that the ones now in Ping'an County are the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army and even the three most elite main regiments of the Eighth Route Army!
For their three regiments, wiping out the Black Cloud Village was no more difficult than crushing a stink bug.

Li Yunlong listened to what Zhang Dabiao said and shook his head.

“No, go ask, I don’t think it’s a bandit.

The bandits are a bit weak, but they have their own brains to be able to stay in these places for so long.

The brainless bandits were wiped out long ago.

Especially Xie Baoqing from Heiyun Village. Our Political Commissar Zhao has investigated him and found that Xie Baoqing was originally a miserable person.

It’s from Fu’an County.

He used to be a poor guy, but was forced to become a bandit... He was able to rise from a poor guy to the head of Black Cloud Village, and turned Black Cloud Village into the strongest bandit village in Ping An.

Xie Baoqing is still quite capable.

Before we set off, Lao Zhao told me that if we met Xie Baoqing, and could absorb Xie Baoqing and Heiyun Village into the army, then we would absorb them into the army.

Although our various troops were well hidden, Xie Baoqing was the local boss of Ping'an County after all, and he must have his own information channels.

That guy must have noticed something.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the other party to rashly send people out of the mountain... and the Black Cloud Village is originally a bandit group in Ping'an County, and there will be a lot of supplies stored in the village... There is no need to go out of the mountain.

So I suspect that there may really be an armed force that none of us knows about that has entered the Ping'an County area.

The battle is about to begin tonight, and I will never allow any unexpected situations to occur at this time.

Go, send a telegram to Qin Yangming and Kong Jie, ask them, and tell them about this matter.

Send a message to the brigade commander, asking him to arrange for comrades at the transportation station to help check whether any other forces have entered Ping'an area in recent days.

If so, please report it to us immediately."

Although Zhang Dabiao's words made sense, Li Yunlong also believed that those bandits could not pose any threat to them.

But Li Yunlong felt something was wrong. He always felt that a mysterious armed force seemed to have entered Ping'an County.

So Li Yunlong insisted that Zhang Dabiao send the message, and even send the message to Brigade Commander Chen, hoping that Brigade Commander Chen could assist them in the investigation.

Naturally, Zhang Dabiao could not refuse Li Yunlong's order. He turned around and left the regiment headquarters and went to the confidential room next door to ask the telegraph operator to send the message.

Perhaps the time for the general attack had already been determined, and since it would be at night, the radio stations of the Pioneer Regiment and the New Second Regiment had already been turned on.

Shortly after Zhang Dabiao sent the telegram, the Pioneer Regiment sent a telegram in response, saying that neither the Pioneer Regiment nor the New Second Regiment had sent anyone to leave the hiding area to purchase supplies.

In addition, the Vanguard Regiment and the New Second Regiment were moving towards the outskirts of the mountains, and the New Second Regiment was preparing to move towards Gucheng County in accordance with orders.

Zhang Dabiao looked at the telegram sent back from the vanguard regiment, nodded, and then continued to wait for news from Brigade Commander Chen, Qin Yangming, and Ding Wei.

The telegrams sent by Ding Wei and Qin Yangming both asked what had happened and whether Li Yunlong had found out what mysterious armed forces had entered the Ping'an County area.

Zhang Dabiao waited for a while and saw that Brigade Commander Chen's telegram had not been sent yet. He first told Li Yunlong the other news, and then returned to the confidential room to wait.

While Zhang Dabiao was waiting for the telegram from Brigade Commander Chen, Yang Xiuqin also organized the nearby militia and young and strong men according to Li Yunlong's request.

In the regiment headquarters room.

After Hu Zi returned to the regiment headquarters, he began to pack up the items in the regiment headquarters and prepare for the move at Li Yunlong's request.

"Captain Li, what is the main responsibility of our Zhaojiayu District Team in this battle plan? Are we going to help fight the reinforcements or launch an attack with the main force?"

After settling the young and strong people and militiamen, Yang Xiuqin brought Zhao Daqiang, the captain of the Zhaojiayu District team, to Li Yunlong's regiment headquarters and asked Li Yunlong.

"Captain Li, if you have any mission, please give it to our district team. Our district team will ensure that it is completed!"

Zhao Daqiang looked at Li Yunlong and spoke to him with excitement on his face.

Zhao Daqiang is the captain of the district squad. He was promoted from the basic militia and dreams of joining the main force.

Now the commander of the elite independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army was right in front of him. Zhao Daqiang wished he could capture the two Japanese soldiers immediately and kill them in front of Li Yunlong so that they could join the independent regiment.

Listening to the questions from Yang Xiuqin and Zhao Daqiang, Li Yunlong, who was leaning back in his chair thinking, looked up at Yang Xiuqin and Zhao Daqiang.

"This time, the comrades of the district committee did not have any combat missions. Their main task was to assist the main force in transporting supplies to the vicinity of Ping'an County after our independent regiment captured the Zhangzhuang stronghold.

It is mainly responsible for transporting ammunition and some heavy weapons...The heavy weapons are still in Fu'an County on the other side of the river. After the battle begins, we will first take down the strongholds along the river.

The heavy weapons will come later.

When the time comes, I will trouble District Chief Yang and Captain Zhao to help organize the personnel and help transport the supplies."

Li Yunlong did not intend to let local comrades directly participate in the battle, at least he did not have this idea now.

He just wanted local comrades to help transport supplies and relieve some of the pressure on the army's transport team.

Li Yunlong was prepared for a forced march all night long, and was also prepared for all the mules and horses to be exhausted to death.

In order to prevent the mules and horses from dying of exhaustion too early, resulting in insufficient transportation force later, Li Yunlong wanted to ask local comrades to help with transportation.

To put it simply, Li Yunlong treated local comrades as civilian laborers.
