...Two days later, Lao Hei, who lived up to expectations, brought good news to everyone when he returned to the New Third Regiment.

Everything was as Han Feng expected. After Han Feng and his party took over the granary in Heyuan County, the Japanese in the county had no food and could not raise it in a short time, so they could only transport grain from other county towns.

The first few batches of grain were transported one after another more than ten days ago. Lao Hei also received information at that time, but the batch of grain was very small. Han Feng looked down on it and did not want to alert the enemy, so he opened the Japanese transport team to Heyuan County.

The Japanese tasted the sweetness. In their intelligence system, in the area of ​​Heyuan County, there were only a few dozen kilometers away in the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, the New Second Regiment, and the 3, 5 and 8th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, Chu Yunfei's troops, a total of four relatively large anti-Japanese armed forces. As for other anti-Japanese armed forces, they were scattered local militias and guerrillas, which were completely inconsistent.

During the previous transportation period, the Japanese army sent only two teams to escort and successfully transported the food to Heyuan County. Everything proved the judgment of the Japanese commander. Near Heyuan County, there was no decent anti-Japanese armed force that could threaten their transportation team.

But the Japanese were very wrong about this. In Baijia Village, at the foot of the Independence Mountain less than ten kilometers away from Heyuan County, there was a New Third Regiment of the Anti-Japanese Armed Forces with more than 2,000 troops stationed in Baijia Village.

However, the New Third Regiment has just been established less than two months ago and has not had time to engage in any form of confrontation with the Japanese army. For this reason, in the intelligence of the Japanese army's intelligence department in Heyuan County, I have never heard of the name of the New Third Regiment.

So Han Feng had an excellent opportunity to take action: in more than ten days, the Japanese in Heyuan County ate the few batches of grain transported by them. When the Japanese army saw that this time, it was not a big deal. A large-scale transportation must be carried out to completely ensure the food problems of the Japanese soldiers in Heyuan County.

There is nothing to say. With the experience of successfully transporting grain in the previous few times, the Japanese devils were bold this time and decided to transport the grain of more than a dozen carriages collected in the past ten days to Heyuan County.

When Lao Hei sent the information back, the cadres of the New Third Regiment were very happy about it.

Shi Wencai said happily: "Captain, we are really sleepy, so someone brings pillows. With this batch of food, brothers will not worry about training."

The second battalion commander Deng Pang was an absolute militant. What he was concerned about was not the issue of food, but the question of who would go to the transport team that fought the Japanese this time.

After following Han Feng for so long, Deng Bang knew that his regiment commander could not use a regiment of troops to deal with a small transportation team. How many people did the Japanese transport team have? It is not a regular combat force. If a regiment of troops fights a Japanese transport team, it would be a bit useless.

Then there is only one possibility. The regiment commander will only send one battalion to the transportation team this time.

Who should I send? Deng Pang took the lead in asking for battle: "My brothers from the Second Battalion have been training for so long and have long wanted to do a big fight. This time, you must let my Second Battalion go, otherwise I can't explain to you even if I go back."

The first battalion commander Shi Wencai reacted and secretly scolded the second battalion commander Deng in his heart. He was not interested enough. Isn’t this a fight against him for the opportunity to fight!

That's not bad?

"The regiment commander, it's my first battalion that I'll go. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that our first battalion is the best in the past two months of training. In terms of combat effectiveness, our first battalion is definitely the strongest."

Sun Desheng, the commander of the Third Battalion, who did not speak, was a soldier who absolutely obeyed orders. He would not compete for combat opportunities with the commander of the first battalion, but his meaning was very clear: "Regiment Commander, as long as the gunfire sounds, our third battalion must all participate in the battle. We are soldiers, not waste sitting idle waiting for the comrades to exchange blood and life for food for waste."

Shi Wencai:...

Deng Pang...

The two of them gave Sun Desheng a thumbs up at the same time. This is such a cruel person.

Han Feng admired his three battalion commanders all had this fighting spirit. He smiled and said, "Don't fight any of you three, no one is missing this battle. All three battalions were dispatched."

Shi Wencai was stunned, "Captain, three battalions, are we the troops of a regiment, so we will go to deal with a transportation squadron of the Japanese?"

Deng Pang and Sun Desheng were also a little confused, and the three of them looked at the group leader Han Feng in confusion.

Han Feng said: "You don't have to look at me with this kind of eyes. This time, even if we are dispatched in the entire regiment, we will have only a small number of troops.

Have you heard a saying? If you don’t make a sound, you will make a big splash. Either you don’t do it or you will do it.

What is a transportation squadron? It’s just a little bit of food. My New Third Regiment doesn’t take it seriously. The Independent Regiment has more than 5,000 people, so I dare to attack Ping'an County. Our New Third Regiment now has more than 2,000 people. Why can’t we defeat this Heyuan County?"

Sun Desheng and the other two widened their eyes. Since the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Japanese have always easily occupied the cities of the people. They have never heard of any regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and they always want to defeat the Japanese county.

The Independent Regiment became famous because of the battle to attack Ping'an County. Could it be that the New Third Regiment is also ready to follow the example and defeat Heyuan County?

...Han Feng certainly didn't think so. Firstly, the Japanese troops stationed in Ping'an County were far more powerful than Heyuan County. Secondly, it was basically impossible to make the entire northwest Shanxi like Li Yunlong, because there was no such thing as Yamamoto Agents in Heyuan County that deserved the succession of the enemy.

Han Feng said: "You don't have to be surprised. The garrisons in Heyuan County are not as large as those in Ping'an County. Both in terms of scale and strategic position, the county town is far inferior to Ping'an County. There are no nearby county towns that can quickly support it.

Although our troops at this moment are far less than the scale of the independent regiment attacking Ping'an County, it is much less difficult for us to attack Heyuan County than Ping'an County. Therefore, it is not as difficult as you think to capture Heyuan County.

The opportunity for us to attack Heyuan County is also centered around this transportation team. Think about it, if the transportation team is raided by us not far from Heyuan County, the Japanese army in Heyuan County will definitely go out of the city gate to rescue. After all, this transportation team is giving them food.

At that time, our opportunity also came. If the Japanese were huddled in the county, it would definitely be difficult for us to fight, but as long as they dared to come out, we would have the appetite to eat.

The entire regiment was dispatched to set aside scouts to reconnaise the possible Japanese reinforcements around. The first battalion was responsible for killing the Japanese transport team. The second battalion divided half of its troops and set up an ambush in the middle to ambush the Japanese troops coming out of the county town. After the first battalion killed the transport team, it immediately joined half of the troops of the second battalion, and with the force of attacking on both sides, the Japanese troops leaving Heyuan County were eliminated as soon as possible.

Lao Sun's third battalion and the other half of the second battalion must attack Heyuan County in the shortest time. At that time, the city's troops were empty due to the assistance transportation team. This was an excellent opportunity for us to capture Heyuan County."

It was so simple, Han Feng explained the combat mission to the three battalion commanders clearly.

Shi Wencai and the other two were a little stunned when they heard this. They originally wanted to kill a Japanese transport team to grab some food, but how did they develop into a battle with Heyuan County in a blink of an eye?

The leader’s thoughts are never thought through…
