Chapter 260 Zhao Gang and Duan Peng team up, you are the mountain eagle
Ding Wei's arrangement was well thought out, and the several column commanders under him were all capable of standing on their own.
There is no need to say much about Zhang Dabiao. He is a veteran cadre from the New 1st Regiment and a subordinate brought up by Ding Wei himself.
Zhou Weiguo was concurrently responsible for the construction of the armored brigade and armored corps, as well as serving as the military district's combat staff.
Wang Chao and Wang Tao also made the column run smoothly.
Needless to say, Sun Desheng is indispensable to the cavalry column.
Kong Jie was asked to join the division by the division commander, and now he is also carrying the banner in the division headquarters.
If there is a chance in the future, I will have to get Kong Erlangzi back.
Some of the commanders of the other regiments could not be named, but they were also battalion and company cadres who came out of the Suirecha Military Region.
The only two people who are capable of doing mass work are Zhong Zhicheng and Zhao Gang. Chen Yi is a woman and is not suitable for establishing a base in the mountainous area.
Zhong Zhicheng is older and is good at maintaining the status quo but not good at exploring new things.
Only Zhao Gang, who is educated, experienced, and principled, is suitable to lead the team.
It is not advisable to launch a large-scale offensive against the Kwantung Army at the moment, and it is difficult to incite the guerrillas.
Establishing a base is inevitable and is also a move that must be planned in advance.
This will make it convenient for the day of the major counterattack to come, attack from both inside and outside and disintegrate the last resistance of the Kwantung Army.
Things that Ding Wei decides on must be prepared in advance.
Zhao Gang and Duan Peng were asked to choose the manpower, equipment and ammunition, and they needed to pay attention to the amount of equipment to be carried.
After all, they had to cross the Kwantung Army garrison area and could not carry heavy weapons.
The two men's idea was to disguise themselves as a Japanese field battalion, with 150 special forces, 800 Japanese anti-war soldiers, and more than 120 cadres, according to the organization of the Japanese infantry battalion.
It is mainly equipped with the Type 99 light machine gun, Type 92 heavy machine gun, and grenade launcher, with two infantry guns and two indirect-fire infantry guns.
Unify Japanese weapons and march into the mountainous areas.
Japanese weapons are not a problem. The last thing the troops lack is Japanese equipment.
Staffing arrangements were not a problem either, so Zhao Gang was given priority in selecting reserve cadres and personnel.
It is better to act early rather than late. It is already July. In another two or three months, the weather in the north will change drastically, which will be even more unfavorable for fighting in mountainous areas.
The marching destination was the mountainous area where Mudanjiang was located, and the first stop was the so-called Wohu Mountain.
To be honest, Zuoshandiao's reputation was entirely due to the promotion of novels in later generations. In fact, he was just a group of ordinary bandits. There were hundreds of such bandits, and any one of them was almost the same as Zuoshandiao.
Zhao Gang and his party successfully reached the nearby mountainous area. During the march, they divided their forces into several groups, which were not far apart.
Avoid having a team of thousands of people that is too large and attracts attention.
Duan Peng brought only two teams from the special operations battalion to investigate the situation near Wohu Mountain.
By the way, I asked about the reputation of the mountain eagle from the nearby villages.
The commander had assigned this task to him individually, so Duan Peng had to handle it with extreme caution.
This old fellow really had some skills. He escaped from the Japanese several times. He was said to be able to run away like a monkey, clinging to tree branches.
It's already World War II, and you're still showing off your martial arts skills?
Is there a bullet faster?
Duan Peng was the least likely to believe in evil, so he asked his brothers to scout the mountainous area and search for traces of the bandits.
When it comes to fighting in mountainous areas, the Eighth Route Army comrades have never been afraid of anyone, and their carefully trained special forces have never been afraid of anyone either.
While we have just arrived at the place, we should first scout out each hilltop.
A group of people explored the mountain area thoroughly with a pair of iron shoes.
It only took 5 days to figure out the situation around Jiapiqiao.
Duan Peng brought the intelligence and found Lishugou, where the temporary headquarters of the Mudanjiang detachment was located.
Zhao Gang is the political commissar and commander-in-chief, and Duan Peng is the deputy commander of the detachment.
The two sat down to study.
Thousands of people gathered in Wohu Mountain, and their weapons and equipment were far from as exaggerated as shown on TV. Forget armored vehicles and cannons. They were just a group of bandits hiding in the mountains.
Long and short rifles, and at most a few light machine guns.
It's not much better than some guerrilla equipment.
Zuoshandiao is the third among the gang members and is known as the Third Master in the underworld. The eight Vajras under his command are quite powerful fighters.
He also has three unique skills: gun, eyes and legs.
He is good at shooting and has sharp eyes, and his nickname "Zuoshan Diao" comes from his eyes.
When working in deep mountains and forests, a pair of sharp eyes can help you detect crises in advance.
His legs and feet are really nimble and he has good stamina, so he can climb mountains and cross rivers as if walking on flat ground.
He didn't have many bandits under his command. Compared with other big bandits in the mountains, who often led thousands of men, the group of people on Wohu Mountain was indeed not that many.
Because Zuoshandiao was so good at spearmanship, his subordinates also focused on practicing spearmanship and were convinced by him.
This group of people are good at fighting in the mountains and forests, and have made quite a name for themselves.
"Political Commissar Zhao, we must attack Tiger Mountain by surprise. While the bandits are unaware of the danger, gather our forces, capture the mountain, and wipe out this gang of bandits."
When the troops first arrived at a place, they needed a relatively safe base.
Jiapiqiao is a good choice, with many complex mountains, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Get rid of the mountain eagle and let a cuckoo take over the magpie's nest.
Zhao Gang thought about it for a moment and felt that this proposal was feasible.
The soldiers they brought with them were all elite soldiers. Needless to say, the soldiers from the special operations battalion could easily fight one against five.
The Anti-War Alliance was composed of former veterans who had been reformed from the beginning. They were all veterans from the early days of the War of Resistance. The Second Independent Mixed Brigade suffered relatively low casualties, as a large number of its soldiers were the first batch of well-trained veterans.
There is no need to worry about the fighting ability of this group of people, as they are brave enough to fight and die.
The more than a thousand bandits under Zuoshandiao were no match for them.
The two men immediately decided to attack Wohu Mountain tomorrow night and capture the bandit leader Zuoshan Diao in one fell swoop.
Zhao Gang led his men to block several mountain roads in Wohu Mountain, while Duan Peng led the main force of the special forces and attacked the core in one fell swoop.
There is no need for too many tricks in fighting a war. The road that is closest to the target is the most suitable route.
It is necessary to make decisive decisions. This is what a troop commander should do.
In Jiapiqiao, some noise was detected, but no one took it seriously.
Thinking it was a small reconnaissance unit of the Japanese, they set up three checkpoints on the way to Wohu Mountain. If a battle broke out at any of the checkpoints, Zuoshan Diao could escape in advance.
This person is very cunning and will slip away immediately at the slightest sign of trouble.
There is another acquaintance of Ding Wei on Wohu Mountain. If he were here, he would definitely recognize him.
It turned out to be Xie Baoqing who was captured in the Jin war zone. No one knows when this guy escaped from the rear and ran here to become a bandit again.
He specialized in raising and training horses and became a horse officer.
It must be said that he was really unlucky. He ran to the Songhua River and ran into Ding Wei's troops.
The darkness of night engulfed the already dark forest, making it seem even darker.
A group of people approached Wohu Mountain in darkness.
Zhao Gang led other troops to block the mountain road and formed an encirclement.
There were crisp gunshots as the special forces ran head-on into the bandit's sentry and killed him cleanly with one shot.
There was no other movement.
In the noisy forest, with birds singing and snoring, the crisp sound of gunfire did not arouse any vigilance.
The special forces team successfully found their way up the mountain road, infiltrated up, and went straight to the Weihu Hall of Daoshan Diao.
