Chu Yunfei's expression changed, and he couldn't help but look at Wei Dayong a few times, as if he was trying to distinguish the true from the false.

"Battle Commander Wei, you said you discovered the cavalry battalion of the puppet army's fourth mixed brigade, do you really mean that?"

Chu Yunfei was a popular figure in front of Yan Laoxi and was a student of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. Both sides valued him very much.

The reinforced group of more than 5,000 people and its equipment are not much inferior to those of the Japanese.

The 358th Regiment is well-equipped, but it only lacks cavalry. The last time he saw the cavalry company of the Independent Regiment, Chu Yunfei was so hungry.

If what Wei Dayong said was true, there would be no harm in giving him tens of thousands of submachine gun bullets.

After all, the 358th Regiment is the trump card of the Jinsui Army. No matter how much equipment and soldiers are lost, Shangfeng will replenish it.

"What I saw with my own eyes, can it be false?" Wei Dayong said: "Is Commander Chu interested?"

He didn't believe that Chu Yunfei was not tempted. When Li Yunlong saw the cavalry camp in Wanjia Town, his mouth almost watered.

However, in the end, the brigade commander robbed 200 army horses.

Chu Yunfei hurriedly asked: "Where is this cavalry battalion?"

"Captain Chu, you haven't agreed to my conditions yet." Wei Dayong said calmly.

On the black market, a piece of valuable information starts with at least ten gold bars.

This kind of information is worth at least thirty gold bars. If Wei Dayong gives it to Chu Yunfei in vain, he might as well rot in his stomach.

"It seems that Battalion Commander Wei will not let go of the eagle when he sees the rabbit." Chu Yunfei said with a smile, "If the information is valuable, Chu is willing to send 40,000 rounds of submachine gun bullets, and the other 10,000 rounds of bullets will be replaced by 5 Czech-style bullets.

Light machine gun, how about it?”

Wei Dayong estimated that Chu Yunfei didn't have that much submachine gun ammunition in his hand, so 10,000 rounds of ammunition could be replaced by five Czech light machine guns, which would be acceptable.

This Chu Yunfei was quite generous and did not bargain with him.

As expected of Chairman Chiang's student and Yan Laoxi's confidant, he is extremely rich.

Wei Dayong added: "After the information is confirmed to be true, Commander Chu should immediately give me the ammunition without credit."

It's not that Wei Dayong doesn't trust Chu Yunfei, it's better to explain these things clearly in advance.

Otherwise, when the time comes, someone will give you a hand and you will be owed first, and then they will ask you if you are confused or not?

"That's natural." Chu Yunfei said, "Chu will never break his promise."

Wei Dayong nodded. If it were another national army officer, he would not make this deal.

Chu Yun said again: "Commander Wei, can you tell us where this cavalry battalion is now?"

"Go to your regiment headquarters." Wei Dayong said.

"Please!" Chu Yunfei made a gesture of invitation.

Compared with the headquarters of the Independent Regiment, the headquarters of Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment looks quite luxurious.

Strictly speaking, this is not called a war room, but should be called a war hall.

A huge military map hangs on the wall, with various traffic lines intertwined and intertwined.

In the middle of the war room, a sand table with a high degree of restoration was filled with various small flags indicating the distribution of forces of the Japanese, the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army.

More than a dozen combat staff officers were busy. Fang Ligong, the chief of staff of the 358th regiment, saw Chu Yunfei coming in and quickly saluted with a military salute: "Regiment seat!"

Chu Yunfei waved in return, then turned his eyes to Wei Dayong: "Battle Commander Wei, please!"

Wei Dayong picked up a teaching pole and pointed to a place thirty miles southeast of Heyuan County on the map: "The puppet cavalry camp is here. The puppet army has more than 300 soldiers and a small number of Japanese."

"How much is the minority?" Chu Yunfei asked.

"The number of Japs I have seen is no more than No. 20." Wei Dayong said, "This place is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with a basin in the middle."

Having said this, Wei Dayong said no more.

Next, how Chu Yunfei arranges his troops and how he engages this cavalry is all Chu Yunfei's business.

"Captain Wei, if you were to command this battle." Chu Yunfei suddenly asked, "What would you do?"

Wei Dayong said: "I will immediately lead a battalion to attack fifty kilometers, launch a sudden attack at night, and resolve the battle within twenty minutes."

Chu Yunfei's expression changed. This kind of guerrilla tactics of the Eighth Route Army was not without its merits.

Later, Wei Dayong was invited to take a nap in the living room next to him, and Chu Yunfei ordered his staff to formulate an action plan as soon as possible.

A combat staff officer worked on the map and used a scale to calculate the distance between the battle site and Heyuan County.

A rough estimate showed that from the beginning of the battle, the Japs from Heyuan County would arrive in trucks for support, and it would only take half an hour to arrive.

If the battle cannot be ended within twenty minutes, the troops will be in danger of being held back by the Japanese and then surrounded and eaten.

The combat plan formulated by the 358th Regiment's staff was similar to what Wei Dayong said. A sneak attack at night was the safest plan.

After all, it was an enemy-occupied area. If we marched during the day, it would be difficult to hide from the enemy's eyes.

Afterwards, Chu Yunfei came to the living room: "Captain Wei, I would like to trouble you to lead the way and observe the tactics of my 358th regiment."

"It's a great honor to be able to observe and learn Commander Chu's tactics." Wei Dayong nodded and said.

Chu Yunfei took his first battalion and the guard company and set out under the cover of night as soon as it got dark.

The commander of the first battalion of the 358th Regiment is Qian Bojun, a confidant of Chu Yunfei and deeply trusted by Commander Chu.

Moreover, the first battalion is a reinforced battalion, with a total of more than 800 combatants.

There are more than 200 people in the guard company, most of whom are equipped with Jin-made submachine guns.

The total number of people exceeds 1,000, and the enemy is a puppet army with low combat effectiveness. Chu Yunfei is confident that the battle will be resolved within 20 minutes.

Compared with the Iron Foot of the Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army's night march speed was obviously slower.

After marching continuously for more than 30 kilometers, there were soldiers shouting that they couldn't do it anymore.

However, Chu Yunfei also had a way to deal with it. He gave his horse to a tired young soldier and ran forward on his own.

Qian Bojun gritted his teeth and promised to give each soldier three oceans when the deal was accomplished. The soldiers instantly felt as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood.

At around one o'clock at midnight, the large army finally approached the basin.

Chu Yunfei first hid the team six miles away and sent a reconnaissance team to confirm that everything was correct before ordering the advance.

The Jinsui Army slowly moved toward the basin from three directions to outflank the enemy.

When they were approaching the bottom of the mountain, the soldiers of the Jinsui Army stepped on a series of landmines set by the Japanese and puppet troops in the forest.

Boom boom boom!

A series of explosions caused heavy losses to the commandos of the Jinsui Army.

The Japanese and puppet soldiers in the basin barracks were awakened, sporadic gunshots began to ring out below, and several tongues of fire also sprayed out in the dark night.

Ten seconds later, the gunfire from the two sides rang out like exploding beans.

The battle has reached this point, and if the battle cannot be resolved as soon as possible, then the only option is to retreat.

Chu Yunfei didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Wei Dayong, so he gave Qian Bojun a death order and would kill him if he couldn't capture the puppet cavalry camp.

Qian Bojun also took the risk and rushed down holding a light machine gun.

The commander took the lead in the charge, and the soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 358th Regiment followed suit as if they had been given blood.

The puppet army is good at fighting smooth battles and waving flags, not to mention that this is a puppet cavalry that has no combat effectiveness.

Feeling the gunshots and shouts of death coming from all directions, even if there were Japanese instructors supervising the battle, at least half of the puppet troops were so frightened that they mounted their horses and ran away. The intercepting Jinsui Army could not stop them at all. The puppet troops were too good at running.

.

In the end, it took the 358th Regiment more than ten minutes to resolve the battle.

The 358th Regiment itself suffered more than 80 casualties, most of which were blown up by landmines.
Chapter completed!
