Chapter 23: Get Started
After listening to Yang Lin's plan, Ding Wei frowned and said, "Brother Yang Lin, your plan is indeed perfect.
But the key question is whether Wen Peng can be trusted."
Yang Lin said: "Wen Peng slept with Yuan Datou's favorite woman. Unless he doesn't want to live anymore, there is no way he will turn against him."
After a pause, Yang Lin continued, "Of course, in order to be on the safe side, your army and my independent brigade need to send some scouts to Wanjia Town and Qinghe Town to closely monitor the actions of the Japanese and puppet troops.
If the situation changes, we can respond immediately.”
"Um!"
Ding Wei nodded in agreement, and then the few of them discussed in detail the specific details of the attack on Wanjia Town.
After the negotiation, Yang Lin remembered that he had not used his clock-in opportunity yet.
So he said to the system: "Check in!"
"Ding! System prompt: Congratulations to the host for successfully clocking in. You have obtained a perfect-level skill book " Guerrilla Tactics". The skill book will be automatically integrated with the host."
In an instant, Yang Lin understood the essence of guerrilla warfare and became a guerrilla warfare expert.
In order to show his hospitality, Ding Wei ordered the kitchen staff to prepare a table of wine and food to entertain Yang Lin and Ma Gan.
Looking at the only meat dish on the table, the braised pork, Ding Wei said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Yang Lin, my new regiment has limited conditions and cannot be compared with your army. If I have been negligent, please forgive me."
"This bottle of Fenjiu was left to me by Lao Li before he left. I'll drink it as a punishment for myself!"
After saying that, Ding Wei filled his glass , then raised it and drank it all.
Zhang Dabiao next to him rolled his eyes and thought, "Captain, I'm afraid you're not punishing yourself, but want to take this opportunity to drink more?"
It is worth mentioning that after the decision to attack Wanjia Town, the morale of Zhang Dabiao, Sun Desheng and others suddenly boosted.
The previous gloom and decadence were swept away.
Yang Lin waved his hand and said, "Captain Ding, you are too polite. Friendship is not about the value of the gift, but about the sincerity.
To give a simple example, I have two friends. When I was in trouble, one friend had 10 yuan in cash and gave me 8 yuan, and the other friend had 100 yuan in cash and gave me 10 yuan.
Which friend do you think is more worthy of friendship? "
Ding Wei felt relieved and secretly admired Yang Lin's vision.
Yang Lin picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth, chewing for a while, and praised: "Well, your regiment's cooks are really good. After eating this braised pork, I think the dishes made by my independent brigade will be hard to eat when I go back!"
"Ma Gan, you try it too."
Ma Gan also picked up a piece of braised pork and started eating.
"Mm! It tastes really good!"
Yang Lin noticed that Ding Wei, Zhang Dabiao and the others had not yet started eating, so he called out, "Captain Ding, Captain Zhang, what are you still standing there for? If you don't eat now, we will finish it all."
Yang Lin didn't consider himself an outsider at all. After he finished speaking, he saw Ma Gan eat the first piece of braised pork, and then the second and third pieces, and then he slapped him on the head.
"Can you please stop being so rude? We are gentlemen. You have brought shame to our independent brigade!"
"Ah? Oh!"
Ma Gan was stunned at first, then he grinned and laughed embarrassedly.
Ding Wei immediately came out to smooth things over: "Brother Yang Lin, this shows that Captain Ma doesn't treat us as outsiders.
Besides, those who achieve great things do not pay attention to small details. "
"Come on, let's have a drink together!"
"Dry!"
Everyone was toasting each other and before they knew it, it was 12 o'clock in the evening and everyone had almost finished eating.
Once it’s 12 o’clock, it’s a new day, which means it’s time to clock in again.
Yang Lin was a little drunk, and said to the system in his heart: "System, punch in!"
"Ding! System prompt: Congratulations to the host for successfully checking in and obtaining a box of the collector's edition Feitian Moutai."
It's a good thing, but unfortunately it's useless and not as practical as a box of bullets.
Then, Yang Lin declined the invitation of Ding Wei and others, told them to go to Luotuoling to get equipment in two days, and left the New 1st Regiment’s base with the hemp poles.
At the entrance of Hejiagou Village, I watched the backs of Yang Lin and Ma Gan leaving.
Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao said with some concern: "Commander, do we need to report our attack on Wanjia Town to the brigade commander?"
Ding Wei said: "No need."
"But...if the brigade commander blames me..."
Ding Wei said: "This is a different time. When I received the commission at the headquarters, I promised the general manager that within half a year, the new regiment would restore its previous combat effectiveness.
Therefore, the boss also gave me certain authority. "
Zhang Dabiao nodded. He was a very well-behaved person, so he didn't ask any more questions.
…
Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
3pm.
Ding Wei led more than 400 soldiers of the New 1st Regiment to arrive at Luotuoling as scheduled.
Although Ding Wei, Zhang Dabiao, Sun Desheng and others were mentally prepared, they were still stunned by Yang Lin's work when they saw 10 Type 24 heavy machine guns, 200 brand new Zhongzheng rifles, and boxes of freshly opened grenades placed in front of them.
At this moment, they were more confident about taking Wanjia Town and eliminating the Japanese in Qinghe Town.
At this time, the scouts lurking in Wanjia Town brought news that Yuan Datou had returned from a meeting in Datong.
Ding Wei immediately suggested to Yang Lin standing beside him: "Brother Yang Lin, since Yuan Datou has returned to Wanjia Town, should we start early tonight?"
"Captain Ding, your army has just marched 80 miles, and Wanjia Town is still dozens of miles away. If we launch an attack tonight, will it be too much for us physically?"
Yang Lin was in hesitation.
The reason why he asked the new group to arrive a day earlier was because he took their physical strength into consideration. He planned to wait until they had a night's rest and replenished their strength before taking action.
Ding Wei said, "Brother Yang Lin, speed is of the essence in war. Delay will lead to changes! Our New 1st Regiment has experienced many more difficult marches and battles than this, so there is no need to worry about the soldiers' physical strength."
Yang Lin hesitated for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then fine, let's do it tonight!"
After saying that, Yang Lin ordered the kitchen staff to steam several large pots of white flour buns and kill a big fat pig to entertain the new group.
8pm.
Yang Lin selected 30 soldiers who could ride horses from the New 1st Regiment and the Independent Battalion and led them to Wanjia Town first.
Ding Wei led the rest of the people to follow closely behind.
