The 5th Battalion was stationed around a barren mountain according to the company level. They used dried branches to cover themselves and slept in a small forest.
If one didn't go closer, it would be hard to find a battalion of soldiers stationed here.
In the morning, more than a dozen firewood men who went up the mountain to cut reeds and peddlers who walked on the mountain road approached, but they were all detained by the broadsword team.
At 12 noon, the soldiers of the 5th Battalion were all woken up.
He didn't have time to start a fire and cook. Most importantly, he was afraid of being discovered by the enemy.
They were all eating cold steamed buns with cold boiled water.
Frightened by Qian Bojun's example, Battalion Commander Shi Song didn't dare to take advantage of the situation. He ate the cold steamed buns like the other soldiers.
The only difference was that he was the battalion commander, so he was given an extra can of beef.
To the other soldiers, this was very normal.
They could only be envious, but they didn't dare to complain.
Seeing the envy of his subordinates, Shi Song gave the half-eaten can to a soldier.
"Everyone, fight this battle well. When we return, I will ask the regiment commander for instructions. Slaughter a few pigs and let everyone have a good meal!”
When he heard that they had won the war, he would be able to eat a good meal when he returned.
The soldiers cheered.
Shi Song hurriedly waved his hand to signal for everyone to not make any noise.
After lunch and checking their equipment, the 5th Battalion set off again.
Although they were very tired, after nearly four months of training, coupled with the usual food, none of the recruits fell behind. They gritted their teeth and moved forward.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the 5th Battalion rushed to the outskirts of Linzhai Town and made the final preparations before the battle.
After waiting for an hour, the 2nd Battalion also arrived.
"Battalion Commander Cheng, follow the regiment headquarters 'battle plan! We'll take the lead. Attack the west gate first! Your 2nd Battalion will attack the north and south gates later.”
The 2nd Battalion Commander Cheng Yuqing said impatiently,""I don't need you to remind me. I remember the orders from the regiment headquarters. I say, Old Shi, you have to work harder. Otherwise, if our 2nd Battalion takes over Forestwood Town first, don't blame me!”
"Don't worry, our 5th Battalion is not to be trifled with. We will definitely be the ones to occupy the town first!”
Cheng Yuqing, the commander of the 2nd Battalion, glanced at the other party and said. "Who doesn't know how to talk big? Whether it was a horse or a donkey, they would know after taking it out for a walk!”
"Order the artillery platoon to build a position and transfer one platoon to protect the artillery." Shi Song said with a straight face. The rest of the troops will rest and inspect their equipment! Battalion Commander Cheng wants to test our 5th Battalion! Call them all!"
"Yes, sir!" The company commanders whispered.
Shi Song gave the order.
The 5th Battalion quickly completed their pre-battle preparations.
The mortar platoon set up the 75mm mortars that were directly under the battalion, and the artillery quickly measured the firing data.
Looking at the mortars in front of him, Shen Quan's eyes lit up!
It was like a wild wolf seeing its prey in the pitch-black night, shining brightly!
In order to successfully conquer Linzhai Town, Chu Yunfei had used all the 75mm mortars in the battalion. There were a total of 10 newly manufactured 75mm mortars, and they had sufficient ammunition.
If this was the Eighth Route Army, Shen Quan would not even dare to think about it.
When the devils are defeated and the troops revolt, these equipment will belong to our Eighth Route Army.
As for Chu Yunfei. Although he was also a man who dared to fight the Japanese.
However, he could only suffer when the time came.
In order to protect Chu Yunfei, other than Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, the rest of the Independent Regiment did not know that Chu Yunfei had joined the Eighth Route Army.
The order Shen Quan received was to join the Jinsui Army and strive to become a high-ranking general.
After the war was won, they would wait for an opportunity to revolt.
As for the fact that Chu Yunfei had joined the Eighth Route Army, he had no idea at all.
Shen Quan suppressed the thought in his heart. He ordered the brothers of the Big Saber Team to get ready quickly and check their bullets at the same time.
If they were on the battlefield and there was a problem with the bullets, they wouldn't be able to fire them.
That would be life-threatening.
The 12 light machine guns and 2 heavy machine guns in the battalion were also set up, waiting for the commander's order to kill these puppet soldiers.
It was five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky began to darken.
Shi Song was lying on a mountain ridge, looking at Linzhai Town through binoculars.
The enemy probably hadn't discovered his whereabouts yet. The puppet soldiers guarding the gate were as loose as usual, leisurely walking up and down the city wall and chatting.
He observed the situation of the city gate and the city wall, then fired a shot at the sky and shouted,"" Fire!!!"
The 10 mortars let out a dull sound as the mortar shells drew a beautiful arc and landed on the city wall.
Boom! Boom!
Following the sound of an explosion, some enemies on the city wall were directly blasted down by the artillery shells.
Zhong Yunhe, the commander of the puppet army, who was waiting for dinner, was woken up by the explosions. "What happened?”
The commander of the puppet army shouted anxiously.
"Reporting to the regiment commander, there are enemy troops attacking us!”
The company commander rushed in and told Zhong Yunhe.
