Chapter 74: Deploying Missions and Pre-Battle Mobilization!

The room fell silent for a moment.

Zhao Wenlong's eyes narrowed slightly.

Tian Chengjun frowned slightly.

Gu Tianhua and Liu Zhiyong exchanged a glance but neither spoke.

"The scouts of the new regiment have already figured it out."

"The Japanese will set off from Liujiabao early tomorrow morning, heading west along the highway, and will arrive at Duanhunjian between about nine and ten in the morning."

Zhou Tianyang moved his finger across the map, from Liujiabao to Duanhunjian.

"I've discussed it with Commander Li."

"Tomorrow, the First and Second New Regiments will ambush this reinforced company at Broken Soul Gorge, wipe them out, and seize the supplies from those ten trucks."

His tone was calm, but every word he spoke was firm and resolute.

"Now, I'll assign the tasks."

The four of them straightened their backs, waiting for him to continue.

"The First Battalion of the Second New Regiment will send 300 men to participate in the ambush."

Zhou Tianyang's gaze fell on Zhao Wenlong.

"Wenlong, take the Second and Third Companies and set up an ambush on the north slope."

"yes!"

Zhao Wenlong stood at attention and answered.

Zhou Tianyang then looked at Tian Chengjun.

"Chengjun, you lead a company to block the enemy."

"Once the Japanese devils enter the ditch, we'll block both ends so that not a single one can escape."

"yes!"

Tian Chengjun's voice was loud and clear.

Zhou Tianyang then looked at Gu Tianhua and Liu Zhiyong.

"Gu Tianhua, Liu Zhiyong, your specific locations will be arranged by Zhao Wenlong."

"yes!"

The two answered in unison.

Zhou Tianyang nodded, his finger landing back on the map.

"Commander Li of the New First Regiment led two hundred men to set up an ambush on the south slope."

"We're on the north slope, they're on the south slope, creating crossfire."

"The first round of firing must destroy the Japanese command system and heavy firepower."

His gaze swept across the faces of the four people.

The four listened attentively, memorizing every word.

Zhou Tianyang paused for a moment, then continued.

"Once the battle begins, all companies must pay attention to coordination."

"I'll provide you with fire support from my high vantage point on the north slope using a sniper rifle."

"Did you understand?"

"clear!"

The four answered in unison.

Zhou Tianyang nodded and leaned back in his chair.

"Any more questions?"

Zhao Wenlong thought for a moment and then asked.

"Commander, what time do we depart tomorrow?"

Which way to go?

"Let's walk the mountain path."

Zhou Tianyang drew a line on the map with his finger.

"Starting from Lijia Yu, head northwest, cross two mountain ridges, and plunge into the Broken Soul Ravine."

"The whole journey is about 25 li (12.5 kilometers), and it takes about two and a half hours to get there by marching."

"Meet at 5:30 tomorrow morning."

"Depart at six o'clock sharp."

"We must arrive at the ambush position before 8:30."

"yes!"

The four answered in unison.

Zhou Tianyang's gaze swept over the four people, and his voice rose a few decibels.

"Comrades, this battle is not like the last one."

"Last time we fought bandits, a rabble."

"This time we're fighting the Japanese, the regular army, the elite."

"A reinforced company of over three hundred men, equipped with light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, and mortars."

"Their firepower is stronger than ours, their training is better than the bandits', and their fighting spirit is stronger than the bandits'."

His tone became serious.

"After each company returns, conduct pre-battle mobilization."

"Inspect weapons and equipment, replenish ammunition."

"Each soldier carries at least one hundred rounds of ammunition and four hand grenades."

"I brought all the dry food and water."

"Did you understand?"

"clear!"

The four answered in unison.

Zhou Tianyang stood up and walked to the window.

On the threshing ground, the soldiers were still training.

Slogans echoed throughout the village.

He turned around and looked at the four people in the room.

"This time, it will be the time to test the training results of our new Second Regiment."

"Go back and tell the soldiers."

"The marksmanship and tactics we've practiced these past few days will all be put to use on the battlefield tomorrow."

"Let's see what it's really like."

Whether we can win the battle or not, we'll find out tomorrow.

Zhao Wenlong stood up, stood at attention, and saluted.

"Rest assured, Commander, the First Battalion of the New Second Regiment will absolutely not let you down!"

Tian Chengjun, Gu Tianhua, and Liu Zhiyong also stood up and answered in unison.

"I will never let the commander down!"

Zhou Tianyang nodded and waved his hand.

"Go."

The four men turned around and strode out of the regimental headquarters.

The sound of footsteps gradually faded away in the courtyard.

Zhou Tianyang stood by the window, watching their figures disappear outside the courtyard gate.

Then he turned around, walked back to the table, and sat down.

My gaze returned to the map.

If this battle is fought well, it will be like killing two birds with one stone.

I can't play well...

Zhou Tianyang's gaze darkened.

There's no such thing as playing badly.

We must play well!!!

……

After leaving the regimental headquarters, the four headed directly towards the threshing ground.

Zhao Wenlong walked to the middle of the threshing ground and shouted loudly.

"Attention, First Battalion! Assemble!"

More than 300 soldiers immediately stopped training.

In less than two minutes, the three companies had lined up.

Zhao Wenlong stood at the front of the line, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the soldiers.

"Comrades!"

"I have some news to tell you!"

"Tomorrow, we're going to fight a battle."

The threshing floor fell silent for a moment.

Then a low buzzing sound erupted.

"Quiet!"

Zhao Wenlong's voice rose a few decibels.

More than three hundred pairs of eyes were fixed on him, waiting for him to continue.

"Tomorrow morning, a reinforced Japanese company, more than 300 men, will be escorting ten truckloads of supplies through Broken Soul Gorge."

"We'll ambush them there, wipe out these Japanese devils, and seize the supplies from those ten trucks."

Zhao Wenlong's voice grew more and more impassioned as he spoke.

"Comrades, do you know what ten truckloads of supplies mean?"

His gaze swept across the entire room.

"It means that our new Second Regiment's resources, including guns, ammunition, food, and medicine, will be significantly more abundant."

He paused, his voice suddenly lowering and becoming serious and solemn.

"But I want to tell you."

"A reinforced Japanese company of over three hundred men, equipped with everything from light and heavy machine guns to grenade launchers and mortars."

His gaze swept across the face of each soldier.

"Therefore, we must not let our guard down."

"Anyone who thinks fighting bandits is as easy as fighting Japanese soldiers is wrong."

"The Japanese aren't bandits; they won't run away in terror just because you fired a couple of shots."

"They will organize a counterattack immediately, suppress you with machine guns, and bomb you with grenade launchers."

More than 300 soldiers on the threshing ground held their breath, their eyes fixed on Zhao Wenlong.

"but."

Zhao Wenlong's voice suddenly rose a few decibels.

"The Japanese devils were human, and so are we."

"The Japanese have guns, and so do we."

"Who's afraid of who?"

His fist clenched and he waved it in the air.

"These past few days, we've been training our physical fitness, marksmanship, bayonet fighting, and tactics."

As the soldiers listened, their chests puffed out involuntarily.

The tension in his eyes faded somewhat, replaced by a bright light.

"Therefore, we are not afraid of the Japanese devils in tomorrow's battle!"

Zhao Wenlong's voice grew increasingly impassioned.

"This battle is the time to test the training results of our First Battalion."

"It's time to put it to the test."

"Do you have confidence?"

"have!"

More than three hundred soldiers answered in unison, their voices resounding throughout the threshing ground.

Zhao Wenlong nodded.

He waited until the noise subsided before continuing:

"Okay, that's good to have confidence."

"Now, I will begin assigning tasks."

He turned around and looked at Tian Chengjun.

"First Company, responsible for blocking them."

"It was divided into two parts, which were blocked at the east and west ends of the ditch, respectively."

"You can decide how to allocate it."

"Is there a problem?"

"no problem!"

Tian Chengjun's voice was loud and clear, and he stood up straight.

Zhao Wenlong then looked at Gu Tianhua and Liu Zhiyong.

"The Second Company is on the eastern section of the north slope, and the Third Company is on the western section of the north slope, forming a crossfire."

"Do either of you have a problem?"

"No!"

The two answered in unison.

Zhao Wenlong nodded and turned around to face all the soldiers again.

"Go back and check the weapons and equipment, and replenish the ammunition."

"Meet at 5:30 tomorrow morning, and depart promptly at 6:00."

"Did you understand?"

"clear!"

"besides."

Zhao Wenlong paused, his gaze sweeping across the entire room.

"No training this afternoon. Let's get our spirits up and give them a good beating tomorrow!"

"Alright, everyone, return to your units!"
