The sky is about to get dark, and Guanshan Town, shrouded in the sunset, looks desolate.

Guanshan Town was originally an ordinary town like a peach blossom garden.

Suddenly one day, the wolf-like Japanese invaded here with weapons, built railways, railway stations, and built bunkers and gun towers. In just over a year, the Japanese turned this place into a military powerhouse like an iron barrel.

The workers, who had been oppressed for another day, were escorted by gun-wielding Japanese soldiers and puppet troops, lined up in a long queue beside the railway, and finished their work in a mighty manner and returned to Guanshan Town.

Their clothes were almost in tatters, they were exhausted and their eyes were dull. They could only work hard on the construction site. If they slacked off for a moment, they would be severely beaten or even killed by the Japanese and puppet soldiers.

…

On a hilltop four or five miles away from Guanshan Town, a dozen people were lying quietly.

Wei Dayong came with four company commanders, Langya Squadron, and Yao Shangwu to inspect the location.

As a latent advance team, the special operations battalion operates at night, so it must first be familiar with the terrain.

Yao Shangwu, on the other hand, was calculating the shooting points of the mountain cannon in advance. When the battle started in the evening, the mountain cannon destroyed the bunker with overwhelming force and opened the way for the second and fourth battalions.

When several company commanders of the special operations battalion actually saw Guanshan Town, they felt that it was heavily defended and that it was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Only our battalion commander has the courage to sneak in quietly with hundreds of people.

"After we entered Guanshan Town, there were three main combat targets: the train station, the warehouse and the barracks. The laborers were locked up at the train station. There were more than 2,000 boxes of explosives in the warehouse. The Japs Headquarters. Most of the Japs and puppet troops were in the barracks.

There, the 1st and 2nd companies and artillery companies will attack the barracks with me, and the 3rd company will be divided into two parts to attack the train station and warehouse."

"do you understand?"

Everyone nodded and said: "Understood!"

Wei Dayong told Wang Xikuan, commander of the 3rd company: "It's up to you how to attack specifically. I only ask for two things. The workers must be rescued. The second is not to let the Japanese detonate the explosives. Do you have the confidence to complete the mission?"

Wang Xikuan immediately expressed his position: "Don't worry, battalion commander, the 3rd company will fight to the death to complete the mission!"

"Okay!" Wei Dayong nodded.

Afterwards, Wei Dayong looked at Yao Shangwu: "Platoon leader Yao, have you finished the calculation of shooting Zhu Yuan?"

Yao Shangwu folded the calculated drawings, put away the gun scope, nodded and said: "Okay, thanks to this gun scope, otherwise we would have spent a lot of effort."

This gun scope was captured by the North China Battlefield Observation Group of the Imperial Japanese Army. Naoomi Hattori wanted to use this to observe Yamamoto's special operations at close range.

"How powerful is this thing?" Wei Dayong asked.

"This is the eye of an artilleryman. If you put this thing up a mountain, you can quickly measure the distance."

"So awesome." Wei Dayong said, "Teach me when you have time?"

"No problem." Yao Shangwu smiled.

Yao Shangwu was very grateful to Wei Dayong. It was Wei Dayong who led the troops and rescued his wife, children and the villagers of Yaojiayu.

It can be said that Wei Dayong is Yaojiayu's savior.

He naturally agreed to Wei Dayong's request.

Wei Dayong said: "Let's retreat first!"

"Okay, withdraw!"

At about seven o'clock in the evening, Wei Dayong and Yao Shangwu returned to the temporary headquarters of the Independent Regiment.

This is a hilltop about 4 kilometers away from Guanshan Town, called Quanshan, named after a mountain spring well that never stops flowing.

Li Yunlong's headquarters was located in a cave at the foot of Quan Mountain, and an observation post was set up on the top of the mountain.

A temporary telephone line was also pulled directly to the temporary command post at the brigade headquarters.

Beside the main line of the Baijin Railway, tens of thousands of Eighth Route Army troops, militiamen and the masses were waiting in full formation.

Only after Li Yunlong took action and reported to the brigade headquarters, and the brigade headquarters reported to the division headquarters, did the division headquarters issue the general offensive order.

Guanshan Town is the most critical battle.

Li Yunlong asked: "Are all the soldiers in place?"

Wei Dayong: "Everything is ready."

"Have the mountain cannons been added up?"

Yao Shangwu: "Report to the leader, it has been added up."

"Are the militia and the masses in place?"

"Everything is in place." Zhao Gang said: "In addition, the people in Wuxiang County have spontaneously organized a large number of migrant workers, ready to transport the wounded and food at any time."

Li Yunlong looked back at the others and said, "Old Zhao, just keep staring here, I'll go and take a nap for a while, and call me at 12 o'clock in the evening."

Zhao Gang couldn't help but ask: "Lao Li, can you sleep even with this?"

"Why can't you sleep?" Li Yunlong said, "Don't talk about now, you have to sleep when you need to sleep on the battlefield, otherwise where will you find the energy to fight with the Japanese?"

Later, Li Yunlong said: "Hurry up and let the hidden soldiers sleep for a while. The soldiers are tired after marching for a long time, but the guard posts cannot sleep."

"Yes!" several battalion commanders replied in unison.

…

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and there is a slight chill in the air. Guanshan Town, shrouded in darkness, is completely silent.

I only occasionally heard the barking of dogs coming from Guanshan Town.

Seven or eight "Japs" and more than 400 black figures in gray military uniforms took advantage of the cover of night to walk through like ghosts.

On both sides were Japanese bunkers, and through the blurred moonlight, one could even see the machine gun firing holes on the bunkers.

All the commanders and fighters in the special operations battalion held their breath and did not dare to breathe.

Sneaking under the enemy's nose and being slightly negligent may cause heavy casualties or even catastrophe.

Because the entire special operations battalion was now completely exposed to enemy machine gun fire.

Of course, the Japanese would not have thought that someone would dare to sneak past them.

Only daring officers and soldiers dare to do this and can do this. Even if an army like the puppet army has such an idea, it does not have the courage and quality.

Of course, Wei Dayong and the soldiers of the special operations battalion were also prepared for the worst.

If they were discovered by the Japanese, they would fight fiercely and rush to the town without fear of sacrifice.

In addition, there is a 75mm mountain cannon as artillery cover support. Once discovered by the Japanese, the mountain cannon will destroy the bunker in the shortest possible time.

Li Yunlong also asked the special operations battalion to do the same. When encountering a narrow road, the brave will win. Only attack can achieve victory.

After more than ten simulation drills, the entire battalion of soldiers was able to move quietly without making a sound.

With adequate preparations, the special operations battalion successfully passed through the dangerous zone and entered the streets of Guanshan Town.

On the other side, the four battalions responsible for the feint attack, the one battalion who was ready to rush into the town at any time, and the three reserve battalions all arrived at their designated positions.

Later, Wei Dayong led the Langya Squadron, disguised as a patrol team of Japanese soldiers, and led the way for the large army.

The large force of the special operations battalion always followed the Wolf Fang team fifty meters behind.
