Hundreds of millions of cloud explosive bombs were fired at the beginning, and horses were riding on

Everyone was even more surprised now.

Originally, attacking the cavalry battalion in Malan Town was a dangerous move.

But now the group leader actually wants to eat up Malan Town. Isn't this a joke?

It's okay to attack a cavalry camp, it can really be completed in one or two hours, but if you want to capture a major town defended by Japanese soldiers.

If we don't do it right, it will be difficult to escape unscathed, and we will fall into a tight siege by the Japanese army.

This is undoubtedly another dead end.

Wang Shaoan here was about to say something, but was directly pressed down by Zhang Yunqing.

"Don't worry, comrades, what I mean is not to occupy Malan Town."

"But we want to eat the Second Mixed Brigade of the Royal Association Army stationed near Malan Town!"

"They are the closest puppet troops to the Royal Association's cavalry battalion, and they are also the most likely to come to support the cavalry battalion."

"So, I want the first and second battalions to ambush the second mixed brigade of the Imperial Association Army!"

"At the same time, also attack other Japanese defenders in Malan Town!"

"Captain, shall we only let two battalions go?"

Zhang Dabiao, commander of the first battalion, asked.

"Yes, two camps are enough."

"The Second Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army was formerly a security corps, and its combat effectiveness may not be as good as that of the Heiyun Village bandits. With just two battalions, there is no problem in taking down 700 of them!"

"The number of the two battalions should not be too large or too small. If there are too many, they will be a burden."

"Actually, one battalion can also be killed, but in order to prevent the Japs on Zhengtai Road from providing quick support, two battalions will be able to kill them faster!"

Everyone looked at the map behind Zhang Yunqing and started discussing.

After a while, Qian Chunsheng, commander of the second battalion, said: "Captain, your action plan is very careful. Just like you said, we must be quick, accurate and ruthless in this action!"

"Our second battalion should be fine. The third battalion will probably be able to attack the Royal Association's cavalry battalion very quickly. It is estimated that they will be able to support us by then."

Zhang Yunqing nodded after hearing this.

"Ah."

"After the third battalion is finished fighting, they will go directly to support you."

"The most important thing now is to immediately notify the scouts to find out the specific number, weapons and equipment and other conditions of the Royal Association Army Cavalry Battalion and the Second Mixed Brigade..."

"Time for action, tomorrow night!"

"Do you understand everything?"

"I understand! Captain!"

everyone replied.

This time, almost the entire New Second Regiment was dispatched. The Third Battalion, tank squad, and special agent company were responsible for attacking the Royal Association Army Cavalry Battalion in Malan Town.

The Second Battalion, the First Battalion, and more than half an artillery company went to attack the Second Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army.

The whole regiment's artillery has been brought out, and the cavalry battalion brought two 88mm anti-aircraft guns and four 4mm mortars, and also drove out five cars.

Heavy weapons are basically transported by cars.

This can not only improve the mobility of the troops, but also save the physical strength of the soldiers.

Nearly 1300 people from the New Second Regiment set out for Malan Town early the next morning.

Along the way, it was relatively safe, and basically no Japanese were encountered by chance.

The Second Battalion and the First Battalion had already parted ways with Zhang Yunqing and the others.

We must rush to Malan Town before dark and conduct a lightning raid...

Zhang Yunqing did not ride a horse or a carriage, because this was his first rapid march...

The distance of nearly forty miles was really tiring. Fortunately, I had some foundation and was able to bear it.

But in the end, everyone got on the car and mounted the horse one after another, and everyone had some time to rest.

I have indeed retained a lot of physical strength.

"Comrades, work harder. When this battle is over, I will ask the cooking team to cook you pork stewed vermicelli for three days in a row... braised pork for every meal!"

Zhang Yunqing's words directly ignited the enthusiasm of the soldiers.

"Captain, is this true?" a soldier asked.

"Of course it's true. Not only are you given meat to eat, but each of you is also given two yuan as military pay..."

"But you have to send it home..."

When the soldiers heard this, they were even more excited. The leader understands us.

These days, most of the soldiers come from poor peasant families and cannot afford a meal of meat even during the Chinese New Year.

In the past, when we were in the New Second Regiment, the soldiers had a very simple diet. After killing the Sakata Alliance, the food began to be better.

Canned beef is available every day, and pork is also available, but not much.

They are also full of craving for braised pork.

In fact, they did not ask for military pay. After all, the Eighth Route Army was notoriously poor, and everyone did not join the Eighth Route Army for money.

When Zhang Yunqing mentioned these two things, the soldiers were both grateful and full of fighting spirit!

Now I am holding back my energy even more, and my marching speed seems to be much faster than before!

"Captain, don't worry, I will fight well! Even if I meet a little devil, I will chop off a few heads!"

......

The night was quiet, but it was still a bit cold in northeastern Shanxi in March.

Malan Town is not a big place and is surrounded by hillsides.

In order to protect from the wind, the buildings were built in the middle part.

It is surrounded by hillsides.

Zhang Yunqing had already led the soldiers of the New Second Regiment to a hillside.

If no one looked carefully, it would be impossible to find a team of nearly 500 people inside.

At the same time, there is a large tank at the back.

"Captain, we have already observed it."

"There are four sentry posts in total, with two people at each sentry post."

"There are less than 400 puppet troops inside now. There are no Japanese. They are basically long guns. There is a Type 1 heavy machine gun and a few crooked guns."

Ma Jinbo hurried over and said.

This is the news from the scouts in the special agent company.

"They say that little devils don't give equipment to the puppet troops. It's true. There are so many people here and they don't even have a cannon."

"But this just gives us a chance."

"Jin Bo, send some soldiers from the special agent company to kill the sentries quickly!"

“Then shine a light on it to remind us to act.”

Zhang Yunqing ordered.

"Yes! Captain!"

"Everyone, check the weapons in your hands for any abnormalities..."

"Waiting for news from the secret service company."

"Poke in quietly for a while, but be sure to keep your voice down."

"Listen to my gunshot order to attack! Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

Here, Ma Jinbo has led a dozen soldiers to a hidden place.

"There are twelve of us in total, divided into four groups..."

"Almost all four sentinel points in the east, west, south and north are covered..."

"You must remember to go up quietly and try to slit the throat with a knife when killing someone..."

"It must be fast!"

The night is already very deep.

Each of the twelve men held a Mauser pistol and a dagger.

Just touched it quietly...
