A magazine of 30,000 rounds, you call it Hanyang

"I don't agree, this won't work!"

When Kong Jie heard Zheng Kaixuan's plan, he shook his head almost like a rattle.

"It's not that I don't trust the combat effectiveness of your Fourth Battalion, but you are simply too few in number. Facing an entire infantry battalion of the Japanese alone is too risky!"

Li Wenying also advised from the side.

"Old Zheng, our two teams combined have over 900 people. Even if we can't defeat the Japanese battalion, the Japanese won't be able to stop us if we want to retreat."

"The Fourth Battalion only has 400 men. If we get surrounded by the Japanese, we'll be in trouble. Uniting is beneficial, but dividing is detrimental. Old Kong is right. Your tactics are indeed too risky."

Zheng Kaixuan understood that they were doing this for his own good, but no matter what, Kong Jie and Li Wenying still didn't quite understand the combat effectiveness of the Fourth Battalion.

Zheng Kaixuan picked up a wooden stick and started drawing on the snow beside him.

On the way here, Kong Jie had already introduced to him in detail the basic situation of the Japanese infantry battalion in Dazhai Town.

"The Japanese infantry battalion's camp is in the shape of an inverted Chinese character '品'. The Japanese battalion headquarters and two infantry companies are on the left side of the inverted Chinese character '品', which is the south side."

"Another infantry squadron is located to the right of the battalion headquarters."

"At the bottom of the inverted T-shaped area, near the mountain, there is a Japanese infantry squadron in this small, isolated village."

"The puppet army camp is to the left of the Japanese battalion headquarters."

"Less than two kilometers ahead of us is a valley, which also serves as a passage out of the mountain. It's closest to the Japanese infantry squadron in the small isolated village in front."

The valley that Zheng Kaixuan mentioned was the entrance where the independent regiment entered the mountains last night.

The infantry company of the small isolated village closest to the valley was the Japanese army that fought fiercely with the independent regiment in the mountains until midnight last night.

"Now, my plan is to first destroy the small isolated village Japanese infantry squadron in the front. Lao Kong, Political Commissar Li, you might as well take a look at the combat effectiveness of our Fourth Battalion."

Zheng Kaixuan's face was filled with a confident smile.

"If the Fourth Battalion can eliminate this Japanese squadron within half an hour, then you will follow my plan. You will be responsible for eliminating the puppet army battalion, and everything else will be left to the Fourth Battalion."

In half an hour, Zheng Kaixuan's estimate was actually quite conservative.

With the current strength of the Fourth Battalion, it wouldn't take that long to deal with a mere Japanese infantry company if they opened fire at full power.

Kong Jie and Li Wenying looked at each other and nodded.

At this point, they had no choice but to believe Zheng Kaixuan.

"Communicator, pass on my order to set up an ambush position in the valley ahead. We have the mountains behind us and can attack from a high position without suffering any loss."

Zheng Kaixuan ordered the troops to set out and set up positions in the valley.

"Old Zheng, no, you need to set up an ambush position in the valley. The Japanese may not take the bait so easily."

Li Wenying asked with some confusion.

He originally thought that Zheng Kaixuan was planning to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese infantry squadron at the front with lightning speed.

Zheng Kaixuan didn't say anything, he looked at Kong Jie with a smile.

After all, Li Wenying is the political commissar. He is in charge of the daily life of the troops and is more professional in ideological work. He is somewhat of an outsider when it comes to fighting.

In fact, before encountering the Independent Regiment, Zheng Kaixuan did have the idea of ​​launching a surprise attack.

After meeting Kong Jie and the Independent Regiment, Zheng Kaixuan changed his mind and decided to launch an ambush first!

Using the independent regiment as bait for this ambush was simply the perfect choice.

Just because Li Wenying couldn’t see it doesn’t mean that Kong Jie, a seasoned man, couldn’t see it.

Kong Jie pointed at Zheng Kaixuan, took a puff of his cigarette and cursed with a smile.

"Old Zheng, you bastard! Are you planning to use my independent regiment to attack me? Fine, fine, fine! My brothers and I will cooperate with you. After all, I owe you a favor."

Only then did Li Wenying suddenly realize what was going on and couldn't help but applaud.

"Brilliant! Lao Zheng, this trick of yours is simply brilliant. It's hard for the Japanese not to take the bait!"

"Our independent regiment was just defeated by this Japanese infantry squadron last night. If we go and provoke them again now, the Japanese will definitely be enraged and will definitely take the bait! Old Zheng, this trick of yours works!"

Li Wenying gave Zheng Kaixuan a thumbs up.

The soldiers next to them also showed proud smiles on their faces.

"That's right, our battalion commander is a graduate of the Yunnan Army Military Academy..."

Li Wenying and Kong Jie were shocked again and looked at Zheng Kaixuan in surprise.

"Old Zheng, you're actually a top student? I never realized..."

……

"Everyone, hurry up and get to the valley ahead to set up an ambush position. We will have several tough battles to fight later," Zheng Kaixuan urged.

More than half an hour later, the 4th Battalion's ambush position was quickly set up.

"Old Kong, I'll lend you a few machine guns and grenade launchers from your independent regiment, but let's make it clear first. Brothers, let's be honest. This is the equipment of the Fourth Battalion. You have to return it to me after you use it."

Zheng Kaixuan saw that Kong Jie's independent regiment was in a terrible state. They didn't even have a few light machine guns, and there was only one grenade launcher, the rifling of which was almost worn out.

Only then did he ask his soldiers to take out some spare weapons of the Fourth Battalion from the transport team's horses and hand them over to Kong Jie.

"Also, there are some things I need to make clear first. The weapons and equipment you seize from the puppet army camp will all belong to the Independent Regiment. However, any equipment captured by the Fourth Battalion from the enemy will also belong to our Fourth Battalion."

Kong Jie smiled and pointed at Zheng Kaixuan's forehead.

"Old Zheng, you are worthy of being a soldier led by his mother Li Yunlong!"

Immediately afterwards, Kong Jie became serious.

"Old Zheng, seriously, as long as you can help Kong Jie and the brothers of the Independent Regiment vent the anger they suffered last night, we can spare no equipment, not even a single bullet!"

As he said that, Kong Jie brought more than 200 people and went out in person to lure out the Japanese infantry company.

"Old Kong, remember, fight and retreat at the same time. Everything will be left to our Fourth Battalion."

"I know. I've experienced more than you have. I don't need your advice on this."

Xiaogu Village, Dazhai Town.

The headquarters of the Japanese Fourth Infantry Company.

After a fierce battle with the Independent Regiment until midnight last night, this group of Japanese soldiers were exhausted. Most of them stayed in the barracks to sleep, and only a small number of them were patrolling listlessly outside the camp.

The next moment, Kong Jie led his men and quietly sneaked into the vicinity of the Japanese camp, with gunshots and artillery fire rang out.

A Japanese signalman stumbled and ran into the Japanese squadron headquarters in panic.

"Sir, this is bad. The Eighth Route Army group from last night is back again."

The Japanese squadron leader rubbed his sleepy eyes, then realized what was happening and immediately became furious.

"Baga Yalu! The defeated general actually dared to launch a surprise attack, he's dead! Immediately attack with all the troops and wipe out this gang of Eighth Route Army thugs!"

Halfway up the mountain beside the valley.

Zheng Kaixuan was also shocked when he heard the sound of gunfire and shouts of killing coming from not far away.

"Brothers, cheer up! The Japs are coming soon, beat them hard! Beat them up!"
