Although the Japanese army controlled many counties in southwestern Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army retreated to Taiyuan still controlled many areas in southwestern Shanxi. Compared with the Jinsui Army, it also controlled some counties, and the Eighth Route Army basically operated in rural areas outside the county town.

In order to inquire about the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army dispatched secret intelligence liaison stations in county towns and some large towns. These liaison stations are usually inconspicuous, but they are crucial to the Eighth Route Army moving nearby.

Many times, the Japanese plan to go to the countryside to clear the attack, and the Eighth Route Army often receives information in advance. While quickly transferring the people, they also make corresponding defenses and evacuation arrangements in a timely manner, so that the Japanese cannot get any advantage.

Xu Sandao, who was in charge of reconnaissance, personally went to pass information with the liaison officer of the Eighth Route Army. After the secret code was met, the intelligence liaison officer also said seriously: "Don't worry, I'll send the information now!"

"Thank you for your hard work! When night falls, I will send someone to the intersection to answer. At that time, let our captain and your commander discuss the operational deployment tonight. Time is a bit tight, I hope you can get there."

"It should be no problem. How many hours are there before dark now!"

"Okay! Please call your commander, hoping that he will organize a transportation team. We will leave when the battle is over, and we should not leave too much time for you to clean the battlefield. Make preparations early and you can also gain more time."

"Okay, I remember!"

After passing the news, Hu Biao drew several scouts from the reconnaissance platoon and asked them to lurk to the edge of the airport to implement all-weather surveillance of the Japanese airport. Hu Biao and his party returned to the mountain and began to prepare for tonight's night attack.

Lin Yashi and others who were resting in the mountains were also very happy to see Hu Biao and his party who had returned safely. Hu Biao also ordered the soldiers to hurry up and rest. When night fell, they began to prepare meals.

When Lin Yashi learned that the troops were taking action tonight, she said carefully: "Captain, can we participate in the action tonight?"

Although I really want to say that it is not possible, Hu Biao thought for a while and said, "When the troops set off, you will leave together. As for the battle, you cannot participate. You can't attack the airport tonight and you cannot easily use your guns. After the battle, we will set off on our way."

"Yes, captain!"

Lin Yashi was also very happy to hear that she could leave with the army. But when she heard that she could not go to the battlefield, she felt a little regretful. Fortunately, Lin Yashi also knew that with her shooting skills and combat ability, she was indeed not suitable for participating in the battle.

As for Huang Quanshuan and Huang Xiu, the two siblings dared not say anything. The only thing that made Huang Xiu a little depressed was that the younger brother who was following Hu Biao actually got a rifle. But she still has no weapons until now.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huang Xiu also blushed and said, "Captain, can you fire me a gun?"

Faced with such a request, Hu Biao smiled bitterly and said, "Xiu girl, what do you want a gun? The rifle is not suitable for you at all. Our pistol has too much recoil and is not suitable for girls. When I have the chance, I will find you a gun that girls can use. How about it?"

"Captain, I'm very strong. I used to be at home, so I could do it. Just send me a gun, okay?"

Hu Biao, who had no choice, finally thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll send you a rifle later, but I won't send you bullets for the time being. It's not that I don't believe you, but I'm afraid that you will get out of fire with the gun. The same goes for Sanwazi. I only fired the gun but didn't give you bullets."

"Okay, just have a gun!"

Seeing that Huang Xiu was not greedy, Hu Biao finally asked someone to pick a pinch rifle for her. Looking at Huang Xiu, who was happy to get the gun, Hu Biao felt that there was nothing to be happy about with only the gun but no bullets?

At this stage, the troops have been in the process of turning the war, and Hu Biao has no way to give the siblings the opportunity to train their marksmanship. First, let them learn how to use guns, and then let them shoot targets in real ammunition when they have the chance in the future.

It is not a bad thing to be willing to learn guns and shoot. In the war era, if you have a gun in your hand, you will feel more secure!

After returning to the mountains to rest for a while, the team members also started to make fires and make meals as they approached evening. At this time, smoke from cooking was also rising in the village next to the valley. Hu Biao made fires and cooked in the valley, so he didn't have to worry about attracting too many people's attention.

After dinner, all the commandos who followed Hu Biao to carry out combat missions changed into Japanese military uniforms. Other team members who cooperated with combat were still wearing ordinary people's clothes, and all the team members began to collect ammunition and prepare to set off.

As for other team members who were performing missions outside, Hu Biao would also ask someone to prepare meals for them. When they meet later, these meals would also prevent the team members who were performing missions from going hungry. After packing up their things, the group quickly left the valley.

When Hu Biao and his party arrived at the meeting place, Xu Sandao and the left-behind scout team members also quickly came forward to meet up. After listening to the scout's intelligence report, Hu Biao also said with satisfaction: "Is the Independent Group here?"

"Come on! Follow your previous instructions, they are on standby in the corn field ahead!"

"Okay! I'll go and meet their regiment commander first, and then ask them to take a main battalion and set up an ambush with Chen Qiang on the highway. The rest of the troops will detour to this cornfield after we start the action and wait for our notice!"

"Yes, captain!"

I was indeed surprised when I received a combat order from the headquarters to fight guerrillas near Changzhi. The independent regiment was indeed a little surprised. The independent regiment had also made up his mind about the airport outside Changzhi City, but I knew it was difficult to fight at this airport.

The reason is that in addition to stationing an infantry squadron for a long time, the airport also has a puppet army of more than 300 people. Not only is the outside of the airport surrounded by barbed wire, but once there is a situation on the airport, the Japanese army in the city can also come to reinforce.

If you take a car, you can arrive at the airport in less than half an hour at the earliest. In this way, if the Independent Regiment wants to attack the airport, it will inevitably be attacked by the airport defenders and the city defenders. This combat plan can only be eliminated in the end.

Now that the headquarters asked them to cooperate in combat, the partner seemed to be not the Eighth Route Army, this really made the independent regiment commander Huang Xinmin feel confused and confused. But he also knew what it meant to the base if the airport was destroyed.

Leading the three main battalions that quickly assembled under their command, the independent regiment of nearly a thousand people came out of the mountain at night and arrived at the cornfield that Xu Sandao said. After lurking, Huang Xinmin was also anxiously waiting for the news and sent corresponding alert troops.

Not long after, Hu Biao, who had met him before, soon arrived at the Independent Regiment's guard post. Looking at Hu Biao who was following Xu Sandao, dressed as a Japanese lieutenant, Huang Xinmin was also curious and said, "Who is comrade?"

"I am Hu Biao, the captain of the Special Operations Team. It was I who informed your headquarters and asked you to cooperate with the fight. Captain Huang, time is tight, so I will tell you a long story short. The raid on the airport will be led by me.

If you say that, you can move forward later and enter the edge of the airport to stand by. As long as the gun is not fired at the airport, you will continue to lurk. To avoid accidents, you need to draw a main battalion to cooperate with my subordinates to block reinforcements in the city.

Although I hope to solve the Japanese and puppet troops stationed at the airport without moving my guns. But I am afraid of accidents in everything, and it is not a bad thing to prepare in advance. Therefore, I need you to send someone to cooperate to stop the enemy from reinforcements."

"Don't we help attacking the airport?"

"No! The way we fight is a little different from yours. If possible, we don't want to alarm the Japanese in the city. If it can be done, then you will have more time and safer to transport supplies in the future.

If I really want to alarm the Japanese in the city, I can only forcefully raid the airport, mainly to destroy the Japanese planes and destroy their airports. I can guarantee that before the Japanese reinforcements arrive, I will destroy the Japanese airports and planes."

Seeing that Hu Biao was full of confidence and was wearing a Japanese military uniform, Huang Xinmin didn't say much. According to the combat order issued by the headquarters, the Independent Regiment only needed to cooperate in this sneak attack on the airport.

Of course, the headquarters also emphasized in the order that one must ensure one's own safety during the action. If something is found to be wrong, one can withdraw from the battle on his own and ensure his own safety. Doing so will avoid being cheated by Hu Biao.

Now that he heard that Hu Biao had no intention of sending people to attack the airport, Huang Xinmin breathed a sigh of relief. He called the strongest battalion and asked him to cooperate with the third row of Hu Biao's command to set up an ambush on the other side of the highway to prevent the enemy from reinforcements.

After a brief discussion, Hu Biao turned around and left. In order to confirm the combat effectiveness of Hu Biao and his party, Huang Xinmin finally decided to take his people first and follow Hu Biao to the offensive position on the edge of the airport to watch the battle, and the rest of the troops came over later.

Lin Yashi and others who followed Hu Biao and his party were on standby in a corn field outside the airport. In order to ensure their safety, Hu Biao still left a platoon. The team was less than 60 people who were actually involved in the battle.

When Huang Xinmin led his guard platoon to the frontier position where Hu Biao and his party were located, he saw that more than half of Hu Biao and his party were wearing Japanese military uniforms, Huang Xinmin was also very surprised.

On the other hand, Hu Biao said quickly: "Captain Huang, this is Lieutenant Qin from our operation team. When he leads the team into the airport later, you can transfer the main force over. There is only one thing that you are not allowed to act without permission."

"Okay! It's just Captain Hu, are you enough staff?"

"Enough! For me, the only ones that are truly threatening are the Japanese garrisons stationed at the airport. As for those puppet troops, if they are obedient, they may be able to save their lives. If they dare to resist, I will deal with them mercilessly!"

After saying this, confirming that Huang Xinmin had understood what he meant, Hu Biao immediately said: "Assault team, follow me!"

With Hu Biao giving orders to launch the operation, Huang Xinmin soon saw the soldiers in Japanese military uniforms and began to sneak into the airport with Hu Biao. Looking at the weapons carried by these operational team members, Huang Xinmin felt curious and envious.

Curiously, many people in the commando carried weapons like bows and arrows. What envied was that the other commando were equipped with at least two guns, a submachine gun hanging on their chests, and a box cannon inserted around their waists.

Such weapon configuration is naturally envious to the officers and soldiers of the independent regiment who lack weapons and ammunition!
