Under Zezhou City, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters
The brigade commander is convening several regiment leaders to make final pre-war arrangements. The time has come to capture Zezhou City:
"Comrades, we have just received intelligence from the inside. Xiao Zhuoyi'nan is mobilizing reinforcements. We will not have more than five days left;
The Chuxiong Division of the Independent Regiment has recovered Anping City. Its main force is five infantry battalions and one artillery battalion, and has surrounded the Songmaoling area of the Independent Fifth Brigade;
At noon today, the artillery battalion launched artillery fire on the Japanese in the encirclement, killing at least more than a thousand Japanese. The remaining less than 3,000 people were compressed into the core position as big as their butts. They couldn't last a few days!
In this battle of southeastern Shanxi, the main course is the Independent Fifth Brigade, but Zezhou City is also a feast;
After these days of attacks, the Hatano regiment in the city has no more than 2,000 men left, and our five regiments, with tens of thousands of people, have a strength advantage of more than five times. This is the first time for me, Old Chen, to fight such a rich battle!
So we must not only capture Zezhou City, but also do it beautifully!
At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, we will launch a general attack. Five regiments, regardless of the main attack and auxiliary attack, will attack from all directions. I will completely annihilate the Hatano Regiment;
If anyone among you can get me a Japanese-style alliance flag that I can use to wipe my butt, I will give you the second merit. Forget about the first merit. That belongs to Chu Xiong. Is everyone okay with that? "
All the regiment leaders expressed no objections. They had only heard from battle reports that Chu Xiong was a good fighter. Some veterans were still a little unconvinced, such as Cheng Xiazi!
In the 386th Brigade, they have always competed with the 772nd Regiment for who is the first regiment. Since the death of Commander Ye of the 772th Regiment during the counter-mopping up last year, Cheng Xiazi has become the number one veteran in the entire brigade;
The 771st Regiment followed the brigade commander in the north and south, and made great achievements in combat. In addition, the 772nd Regiment, which also had great military exploits, has grown out of the 386th Brigade's battle sequence. Then the 771st Regiment became the first main regiment. Until the independent group emerged.
The record of the Independent Regiment has blinded the eyes of countless people. Blind Cheng is just the nickname of Commander Cheng Da. He is not blind, he is just highly myopic. He has also seen the records of Chu Xiong and the Independent Regiment.
Youdao is the first in Wen Wu and the second in Wu Wu. It is impossible to say that Cheng Xiazi was convinced by Chu Xiong before this!
But this time he participated in the Battle of Southeast Shanxi. The 771st Regiment participated as the main force in the Zezhou siege. Without the flying thunder cannons and Mulan rocket launchers supported by Chuxiong, and without the assistance of the other four regiments, he would not have been able to defeat it. People from Zezhou City won’t fight either.
Chuxiong's independent regiment not only relied on its own strength to smash the blockade built by the Japanese with countless gun towers and bunkers, annihilating no less than 2,000 Japanese soldiers and capturing more than 5,000 puppet troops;
Then the main force of the independent regiment surrounded Zezhou. Chu Xiong personally led 3,000 second-line troops to surround Anping City and attracted more than 6,000 independent mixed fifth brigade troops to Anping City;
He commanded 3,000 second-line troops to withstand the siege of 6,000 field Japanese from the Fifth Brigade. Based on this, Cheng Xiazi was convinced, at least he thought he could not do it!
The old revolutionaries are all aboveboard, and if you are convinced, you are convinced. Therefore, he has no objection to the brigade commander's clear intention to give the first credit to Chuxiong and the Independent Regiment. He now wants to capture Zezhou City and seize the plaster cloth. The brigade commander wiped his ass.
When the brigade commander saw that no one had any objections, especially Cheng Xiazi, who was usually awesome and coaxing, it was rare for him to be convinced, which made him feel very happy;
This shows that all the comrades in the brigade are very aware. The distribution of military honors is actually his attempt to ask questions. The reactions of his generals made him very satisfied.
He must be on guard against internal unity issues. An excellent general must have the ability to handle internal conflicts and make everyone work in one direction, so that greater victories can be achieved in the future.
The brigade commander, who had solved the big problem, was in a good mood and loudly ordered:
"Cheng Xiazi, the east gate city wall has been attacked to pieces. I will give you all the thunder and artillery shells. You must blast a passage hundreds of meters wide from the front of the city wall. Don't feel bad about the cannonballs, and don't feel bad about the city wall!
When the cannonballs are gone, ask Chu Xiong for them;
When our ancestors stayed, the city wall collapsed. When we leave, the Japanese will repair it;
If you dare to kill all the soldiers, let alone your military exploits, you are not even worthy of feeding me! "
Upon hearing this, Blind Cheng immediately stood up and shouted loudly:
"Promise to complete the mission!"
"The other regiments must attack the other three walls at the same time. Don't worry about the ammunition, just one. The casualties must be minimal!"
“Capture Zezhou City in one day;
Within two days, mobilize the people in the city and evacuate Zezhou City!
Zezhou City, if the Japanese reinforcements want it, give them an empty city. Do you understand? "
"Understood!"
The roars of several regiment leaders and political commissars made the brigade commander's eardrums buzz, but the brigade commander acted like a normal person;
Therefore, a person with great responsibility must have a big heart and a strong eardrum!
It wasn't until everyone left that the brigade commander reflexively rubbed his ears and cursed:
"Damn it, I almost deafened my ears!"
At eight o'clock the next morning, a new day's battle began with the roar of cannons. Cheng Xiazi completely implemented the brigade commander's plan and started the family-losing mode. Of course, he lost Chu Xiong's family.
"Li Dazhu, listen to me. I only give you half an hour. You have to blow up this annoying wall in front of you. Don't feel bad about the explosive bag;
Light them all, no one is left!
Anyway, the brigade commander said that Captain Chu will reimburse him. He is the rich man of our Eighth Route Army, so we don’t need to be polite to him! "
"Fire! Fire! Fire!!!!"
Cheng Xiazi turned on Cheng Crazy Mode, which he did every time he started a war. The first main force of the 386th Brigade was not just blown away.
"Boom boom boom..."
The ancient walls of Zeshu City were shaking under the roar of cannons and could collapse at any time. Captain Hatano was also mentally prepared to serve the emperor.
It was no good if he was not loyal. This time, the Eighth Route Army was uncharacteristically besieging him on all sides. They did not surround him in three areas as usual, leaving him a way to turn in.
He was a little envious of that bastard Nakata Kenyo. From the latest internal report, he learned that the Nakata brigade once again broke out from Chuxiong's heavy encirclement with only three casualties, and received a verbal commendation from the Commander!
Except for Nakata Kenyo, there are only two Japanese commanders who can behead three times in a row from Chu, the eight-way demon, and keep the army organized!
The others either suffered heavy losses or were completely wiped out!
"Mr. Chu is still a kind person!
Last year we recaptured Anping City, and the two sides cooperated very well. This time there was a new commander, so why not give me a chance to transfer to Hatano?
I've been fighting for several days, but I haven't harmed the people in Zezhou City yet.
Chen Jun, can’t you see? "
Thinking of this, Hatano looked sad...
