Roaming the universe, all thanks to your many dark skills!

Although Li Yunlong wanted to go to Wanjia Town to find Rosen for a drink, his plan was not as fast as the changes.

In August 40, the Eighth Route Army, in accordance with the unified deployment of the General Headquarters, launched a simultaneous attack on the enemy and puppet troops on all fronts in North China. More than one hundred regiments, nearly 8 troops, participated in the battle, which is the Hundred Regiments Campaign often mentioned in history books.

The Japanese rear was in chaos and confusion, with transportation and communications paralyzed.

For Rosen, it was a great bargain.

Because he didn't have to worry about the revenge from the devils for the time being. At least in the short term, they would definitely not have time to care about his small Wanjia Town.

Of course, facing the offensive of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army was naturally unwilling to just passively take the beating, so they mobilized their troops, intending to attack from the east and west to completely strangle the Eighth Route Army.

The Eighth Route Army immediately transferred its troops to prepare for the second phase of operations.

Of course, Rosen would not just stay in Wanjia Town and wait for death at this time, but decided to take action in line with the trend of the war.

Coincidentally, he was familiar with the plot, so he decided to get ahead of Li Yunlong and grab a big piece of fat meat.

"Du Ziteng..."

"Here." A strong man about 170 to 180 meters tall walked out.

He is the commander of the cavalry battalion under Rosen.

Although Rosen sent out a cavalry company's horses and equipment, the structure had to be maintained, so the cavalry battalion's organization was still maintained.

"How is your cavalry training going?" Rosen asked.

"Please rest assured, Commander. Our brothers are very skilled in swordsmanship and horse riding. As long as there is a battle, they will charge forward roaring." Du Ziteng said.

"That's fine. No matter how much you talk to me now, it's useless. We'll see the outcome in actual combat later." Rosen pointed at him and said, "If you fight well, I'll reward you. If you fight badly, I'll shoot you."

"Yes."

"The Japanese will definitely make a big move next. Send out your cavalry and keep a close eye on the Japanese in the Taiyuan direction. Report any signs of trouble in a timely manner."

"Yes."

Rosen looked at Lao Yao again and said, "Lao Yao, go back and tell the brothers that the battle is about to begin. I am waiting to see how you perform."

"Yes."

Du Ziteng sent out the cavalry on the same day, but there was no useful intelligence in the following days.

Rosen was also not idle. He also released the crows and kept a close eye on any movement within the shared field of vision.

In the middle of the night, Rosen, who was having a good time with Diana in his dream, was suddenly awakened by a hurried knock on the door.

"Brother Luo, Brother Luo, wake up, there is urgent information." Wei Dayong's voice came from outside.

In the dead of night, only Wei Dayong, Rosen's adjutant, had the courage to disturb his sweet dream.

"What's the matter?" Rosen put on his clothes quickly and asked as he walked out.

Du Ziteng was waiting outside at this time, and immediately said: "The personnel who went out to investigate reported that the Japanese soldiers secretly left Taiyuan City at around 10 o'clock at night and are now rushing towards us."

"Is the information reliable?" Rosen looked at the sky shrouded in darkness, and could not see a single star.

"Absolutely reliable." Du Ziteng assured, patting his chest.

"Monk, go and ask Lao Yao to gather the troops." Rosen said, "Keep quiet, leave a thousand men behind to guard the house, and the rest follow me."

"Where are you going?" Wei Dayong asked.

"I haven't decided yet." Rosen smiled and said, "Let's wait and see."

This sentence immediately stunned Wei Dayong and Du Ziteng.

They were not new recruits and had experienced many battles before. No matter how well or badly they fought, they had never heard of the strategy of not knowing where to go and just walking and seeing before they set out.

No matter how puzzled and suspicious they were, they had to obey Rosen's orders and carry them out to the letter.

Soon the sleeping Wanjia Town woke up.

After Rosen took over the 8th Mixed Brigade, although he killed many disloyal guys, he did not adjust the original organization.

Therefore, the mixed brigade remains the same as before, mainly composed of three infantry battalions and one cavalry battalion, and the rest are the engineering company and the so-called artillery battalion.

It’s a pity that there were no artillery in the previous mixed brigades, so those artillerymen became logistics soldiers, and their performance was even worse than that of engineers. Basically, they went wherever there was a shortage of people.

However, after they came into Rosen's hands, he naturally raised the status of the artillery battalion. He took out two Type 92 infantry guns and four Type 97 mortars and gave them to them. Finally, they were no longer so nominal.

Now that they had heard of a war, all the camps lined up in an orderly manner and looked at Rosen with eager eyes.

"The first and second battalions, the cavalry battalion, and the artillery battalion will follow me, and the third battalion will stay at home."

Rosen looked at Shi Lei, whom he appointed as the commander of the third battalion, and said, "Guard the house well for me. If you come back, it will count as a merit. If you want to fight, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Do you hear me?"

"Yes." Shi Lei answered loudly.

"Set off."

The troops had just left Wanjia Town not far when fog rose all around.

Rosen was now more certain that his work would not be in vain. He immediately glanced at the view shared by the crows, estimated the approximate location and marching route in his mind, and finally said: "Everyone, target Yehu Ridge, move forward." (Note)

There are not only foxes in Yehuling, but also countless hills and crisscrossing narrow paths.

If Rosen hadn't been an expert in maps and hadn't had the M44 compass that would keep him from getting lost, he might have gotten lost in this thick white fog that was like fish soup.

The march took most of the night and they did not arrive at Yehuling until around five in the morning.

After each unit counted the personnel, they dispersed and headed for the designated location to ambush.

"Brigade Commander." Old Yao came over and saluted Rosen before saying with a wry smile, "Except for the cavalry battalion which only lost one soldier, the other battalions lost a total of 37 people."

"It was night and there was thick fog. I got lost while walking and couldn't find my unit. It's understandable."

Rosen's face darkened and he said, "But I cannot accept this result. It all comes down to your lack of training. After this battle, all battalions must train hard. If you do something as embarrassing as this again, I will not forgive you."

"Yes."

As time passed, the fog around us did not become thinner but became thicker.

The soldiers lying in ambush everywhere became more and more surprised, and asked in a low voice to the people next to them: Do you know who they are going to attack?

The person being asked was also confused.

With such heavy fog right now, you can't see your hand in front of you, and the vision is almost non-existent.

Even if the enemy passes by, you may not be able to see him, let alone fight him. Even if you shoot, your accuracy will be completely unknown.

"Brother Luo, who are we going to ambush?" Wei Dayong asked curiously.

"Nonsense, of course it's the devils." Rosen glanced at him and said, "Come with me, let's go prepare some small gifts for the devils."

Then he took Rosen down the mountain and to a narrow road in the mountains. He took out two engineer shovels from the storage compartment, threw one to Wei Dayong and started digging.
