Fangshan Town was located in the west of Shanxi Province, in the middle of Luliang Mountain.
In the seventh year of the Republic of China, Fangshan Town was changed to Fangshan County.
Due to the frequent wars and the unstable situation in the country, there were not many changes after Fangshan Town was changed to Fangshan County, so the locals were still used to calling it Fangshan Town.
The population of Fangshan Town wasn't that large, less than a thousand households.
The arrival of the Japanese made it difficult for Fangshan Town to maintain its previous peace. The population had also decreased by a lot.
Ever since the Japanese army occupied Fangshan Town, they had been oppressing the local people.
After Zhang Dabiao sent the scouts to Fangshan Town, he patiently waited for the scouts 'reply.
Based on the situation in Fangshan Town, the scouts sent out should not be too dangerous.
After borrowing half of the pickaxes from the artillery company, Zhang Dabiao led the soldiers of the 1st Battalion to reclaim the wasteland. He also knew that the daily training of the soldiers could not be affected by the reclamation of the wasteland.
From Iron Bull, Zhang Dabiao knew about the arrangement of the artillery company. The soldiers would rotate and try to be as fair as possible.
Zhang Dabiao naturally knew this. When he asked the soldiers to reclaim the wasteland, they would also take turns, so the soldiers did not have any complaints.
Many of the warriors were filled with anticipation. After the wasteland was reclaimed and planted with food, there would definitely be a lot of harvest.
At that time, their daily meals would be better.
After the 2nd and 3rd Battalion Commanders were reprimanded by the new Regiment Commander Ding Wei, they turned their attention to the 1st Battalion.
They all strived to have their own battalion reach the level of a 1st Battalion.
After knowing that the 1st Battalion was going to reclaim the wasteland, the 2nd Battalion Commander and 3rd Battalion Commander did not fall behind.
They found some tools to let the soldiers use their free time to reclaim the wasteland.
At the same time, after these two days, the new regiment also specially sent out some warriors to help the old people in the village reclaim the wasteland.
These selected warriors would receive a certain reward.
After knowing this, the warriors enthusiastically signed up and were selected.
When they helped the old people reclaim the wasteland, the soldiers were also very serious and attentive, which made the old people in the village quite satisfied.
However, there were many old people in the village. Two days was not enough.
After knowing that the new group of warriors were going to fight, the old village chief expressed that he could understand.
The only thing that worried the old village chief was that he was very worried that the soldiers of the new regiment would not return.
But after Iron Bull promised, the old village chief was still relieved.
The geographical location of their village was not bad. It was the most suitable place for a new regiment to be stationed in this area.
Apricot Blossom Village was the name of this village.
Apricot Blossom Village was surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one side leading to the outside world. It was quite well-hidden.
This was also one of the reasons why the Japanese had not discovered the new group.
Outside Apricot Blossom Village, there were hills all around.
Even if the Japanese came, it would be difficult for them to carry heavy weapons. It would be much easier for the new regiment to defend.
Apricot Blossom Village was less than 30 miles west of Fangshan Town. It was very easy for the new regiment to reach Fangshan Town.
The Japanese probably wouldn't have thought that the New Regiment would be right under their noses. It was only because Li Yunlong was bold enough that he dared to place the New Regiment in Apricot Blossom Village.
"Niu Zi, are you interested in going to Fangshan Town with me?”
On the weekend, Iron Bull brought the soldiers of the artillery company for training. Zhang Dabiao came to the artillery company.
Tie Niu looked at Zhang Dabiao in surprise.
"Big Brother Zhang, are you going to Fang Mountain Town? What about the 1st Battalion?"
Yesterday, the soldiers of the recon company who went to Fangshan Town had returned to the new regiment and understood the situation in Fangshan Town.
As expected, the disguise stationed there had let down his guard and was very lazy.
At the same time, the soldiers also found the puppet army's camp in Fangshan Town, as well as the corresponding defense facilities.
"I plan to bring a portion of the soldiers from the 1st Battalion into Fangshan Town. We will attack at night and take down Fangshan Town.”
"I'm the only one who can be at ease. The warriors of the 1st Battalion are not weak, but if I'm not around, it's easy for other situations to occur.”Zhang Dabiao said in a deep voice.
Zhang Dabiao's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. He chose to go to Fangshan Town not because he was worried about the soldiers, but because he wanted to fight at the front lines.
After following Li Yunlong for a long time, Zhang Dabiao was also influenced by Li Yunlong. He thought of leading the soldiers to the front line.
"What about the remaining soldiers of the 1st Battalion? Also, if I leave, what about the soldiers of the artillery company?”
Iron Bull hesitated. He wanted to go to Fangshan Town to take a look, but he was worried about the soldiers of the artillery company.
Zhang Dabiao laughed. He knew that Iron Bull would be like this.
"Niu Zi, the artillery company has just been established, it's better not to go. Also, the artillery company won't be able to play much of a role in this battle.”
"Mobilizing the infantry cannons of your artillery company is not suitable for rapid movement. Also, the infantry cannons will easily attract the attention of the Japanese and puppet troops in Lin County.”
"The regiment commander said that we must avoid revealing our new regiment's identity. Otherwise, it would be easy for the Japanese to attack us again.”
Iron Bull nodded. He roughly understood what he meant.
He had no objections to such an arrangement.
The artillery company had a certain amount of combat power, but in a battle at night, the artillery company could not play much of a role.
Moreover, once they bombarded Fangshan Town, it would be difficult to lure the puppet troops into Fangshan Town.
The Type 92 Infantry Cannon was easy to move around, but it was surrounded by hills.
Bringing an artillery company would undoubtedly affect the speed of the army.
"Then I'll go to Fangshan Town with you, Big Brother Zhang, to see what the situation is like there.”Iron Bull said in a deep voice.
Zhang Dabiao nodded in satisfaction.
"I knew you would come with me. Tell the soldiers of the artillery company to meet at the village entrance in half an hour.”
After Zhang Dabiao left, Iron Bull returned to the training ground of the artillery company. He could see that these soldiers were all focused on training.
The training was boring and tiring, but none of the soldiers complained about it. They had been working hard and persevering.
"Pa, pa, pa!"
"Warriors, take a break. I have something to tell everyone.”
Iron Bull clapped his hands and asked the soldiers to stop their training.
The soldiers of the artillery company stopped and wiped the sweat off their foreheads.
Under Iron Bull's signal, they each scooped a big bowl of cold water and drank it.
To be able to drink a bowl of plain water after training, the soldiers were already very satisfied.
"Battalion Commander Zhang came to me just now and told me about our regiment's battle plan. This time, we need to end the battle quickly to avoid causing too much of an impact and alerting the Japanese in Lin County.”
"In other words, this battle has nothing to do with our artillery company. I know what everyone might think, but the regiment has already made a decision. We can't change it!”
"The only thing we can do is continue to train hard. When we use our artillery, let the Japanese have a taste of our artillery leaving.”
"The first squad leader will be in charge of the training these two days. I need to go to Fangshan Town with Battalion Commander Zhang. Perhaps I can get some good things for everyone.”
In front of the soldiers, Iron Bull said with a serious expression.
The soldiers were a little unwilling, but there was nothing they could do. The decisions of the regiment headquarters were not something they could change.
As for Iron Bull going to Fangshan Town, the warriors did not have any objections.
During the training, the soldiers all knew that the hard work of this company commander, Iron Bull, was much stronger than them.
After arranging the artillery company, Iron Bull checked his equipment and walked towards the village entrance.
Thank you for the evaluation votes, everyone!
