Duan Peng wanted Wang Chengzhu to help him take revenge, so he naturally knew everything about the other party's problems.

He told Wang Chengzhu that it was the Japanese from Donghui Township who learned about the presence of the Eighth Route Army in Duanjiagou, so they carried out a raid and massacre in Duanjiagou.

In order to take revenge, Duan Peng went to Donghui Township to investigate and learned that there was about a small group of Japanese soldiers stationed in Donghui Township. In addition, there was also a company of puppet troops.

A standard Japanese squad has 54 people, and a company of puppet soldiers has about 150 people.

In other words, there are about 200 enemies in Donghui Township.

Wang Chengzhu now has more than 300 men in his hands, which far exceeds the Japanese and puppet troops in Donghui Township. In terms of weapons and equipment, because of the Type 92 infantry artillery, they are much more sophisticated than the Japanese and puppet troops in Donghui Township.

This is a true battle of wealth.

Even in a head-on firefight, Wang Chengzhu was sure to eliminate this group of enemies.

However, many of the current artillery platoons are new recruits who have never been on the battlefield and seriously lack actual combat experience, and there are still many ordinary people in Donghui Township.

If you directly attack Donghui Township, not only may innocent people be injured, but you will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Also, if they launch an attack directly, the Japanese and puppet troops occupy favorable terrain and have many solid fortifications to defend, so the battle may not be able to end in a short time.

Once the battle situation becomes tense and the Japanese and puppet troops from other places are reinforced, the artillery platoon will be in a bad situation.

A forceful attack would definitely not work, but the people of Duanjiagou had to avenge themselves.

Moreover, it is not a problem for recruits to train all the time. They must be put on the battlefield to practice. Only in this way can they increase their actual combat experience and improve their combat effectiveness.

In this case, we can only use wisdom.

Eighth Route Army!

The Japs in Donghui Township learned that the Eighth Route Army was in Duanjiagou, so they carried out a raid and massacre in Duanjiagou.

Wang Chengzhu suddenly grasped something important. Could he use the Eighth Route Army as bait to lure out the Japs in Donghui Township?

Then, they find a suitable location to ambush...

Wang Chengzhu was not a dictatorial person, and in terms of fighting, although he learned a lot of experience through filming and watching anti-Japanese TV dramas, this was very different from the actual situation.

Wang Chengzhu decided to listen to everyone's opinions, so he asked the orderly to arrange for Duan Peng to go down to rest and eat, and then called Xu Hailang, Liu Qiang, Wang Shugen, Tian Shuisheng and other backbones of the artillery platoon.

After everyone sat down, Wang Chengzhu first told about the tragedy in Duanjiagou, then elaborated on his thoughts, and then asked everyone: "Everyone, what do you think?"

After the 3rd company of the Imperial Association Army was incorporated by Wang Chengzhu, Xu Hailang changed from the original company commander to the deputy platoon commander, but he had no complaints about it.

Because he was originally a righteous man who fought against Japan and the Japanese, not for promotion and wealth. Otherwise, he would not have defected to the Eighth Route Army, which was impoverished and had the most difficult conditions.

Liu Qiang, the former deputy company commander, became the staff officer of the artillery platoon, mainly responsible for managing logistics and training of new recruits.

Originally, as a platoon-level unit, there would be no staff officer position, but Wang Chengzhu's artillery platoon was not an ordinary platoon-level unit.

Moreover, didn't regiment leader Li Yunlong say that as long as the troops are well developed, the company and platoon leaders below do not need to report anything else, whether it is combat operations or personnel appointments, and will make their own decisions.

Besides, although Wang Chengzhu's army is only a platoon now, won't it be a battalion or even a regiment in the future?

It’s not too much to set up a staff position in advance, right?

As the second-in-command of the artillery platoon, Xu Hailang was the first to express his position: "Platoon commander, we have to avenge the people of Duanjiagou, and the training of the new recruits has also achieved some results. We can just take the opportunity to hone their practical experience.

.”

"If the plan succeeds, we can not only avenge the people of Duanjiagou, but also hone the practical experience of the new recruits."

"Even if the plan fails, we can evacuate calmly in the vast remnants of the Luliang Mountains."

"The deputy platoon leader's analysis is good. Whether it is to avenge the people of Duanjiagou or to train new recruits, this deal is worth doing, and it also requires the backbone of the platoon. Almost everyone

They have a sworn feud with the Japanese, and if they have the opportunity to fight the Japanese with a high winning rate, of course they will not object.

So they all nodded in agreement and agreed to platoon leader Wang Chengzhu's proposal to send troops.

The first action meeting ended with unanimous approval.

Next, everyone made detailed arrangements for the entire action plan.

The first thing to consider is the ambush location.

As a native of Wangjia Village, Wang Chengzhu basically knows the topography of the nearby Shiliba Village very well.

After some discussion, it was finally decided to choose the ambush location at Luotuoling.

Luotuo Ridge also belongs to the remnants of the Luliang Mountains, about 20 kilometers away from Wangjiacun. It consists of two peaks more than 100 meters high. From a distance, they look like two camel humps, hence the name Luotuo Ridge.

The terrain of Luotuoling is quite dangerous. A winding dirt road passes between the two peaks. The high slopes on both sides are covered with grass and shrubs. People are hiding in it and cannot be discovered unless they get closer.

It can be said that Luotuoling is a natural ambush location.

Immediately, Wang Chengzhu called Duan Peng to the platoon headquarters.

Wang Chengzhu first briefly explained the entire combat plan to Duan Peng, and then said: "We need someone to lure out the Japanese and puppet troops in Donghui Township and introduce them into our ambush circle."

Duan Peng immediately understood the implication of Wang Chengzhu's words and said: "Platoon leader, I am willing to lead the Japanese and puppet troops out of Donghui Township!"

Wang Chengzhu said again: "Duan Peng, you have to think carefully. This process is very dangerous. If you don't do it right, you may lose your life."

Duan Peng gritted his teeth and said: "In order to avenge my mother and the folks in Duanjiagou, I am not afraid of great dangers!"

Wang Chengzhu: "Okay! You are a man. As long as you can lure out the Japanese and puppet soldiers from Donghui Township, I will definitely avenge your mother and the folks in Donghui Township!"
