In the battle of the New Regiment, they not only annihilated the entire Japs observation group, but more importantly, killed the Japs Lieutenant General Hattori Naoomi, three major generals, and dozens of junior officers.
Counting Major General Murakami Takashi, who was headshot by Shen Quan during the previous breakout battle at Cangyunling, one lieutenant general and three major generals died in the land of northwest Shanxi in just a few months.
Such a record is worthy of pride no matter which unit it is placed in!
At the same time, under the leadership of Shen Quan, the new regiment made a comeback and took away the Huting stronghold.
When he first heard the news, the deputy commander-in-chief was stunned. He couldn't believe that a lieutenant general and a Japanese soldier had been killed by the new regiment.
It wasn't until the chief of staff read the contents of the telegram several times that the deputy commander recovered.
I know that the new group is very powerful in combat, but not so terrifying.
"This kid Chen Quan is really a genius!" the deputy commander said excitedly: "Naoomi Hattori died in our hands. If Okamura knew this news, he would probably vomit blood."
What a shock!
Looking at the entire World War II zone, apart from the New Regiment, which unit can have such powerful combat capabilities?
Just relying on one regiment divided into three groups, they captured the Japanese in three places at the same time and protected the headquarters.
Such an army is simply an army of heavenly generals!
"good!"
"good!"
"good!"
The deputy commander said three good words in a row.
The chief of staff also looked excited and said: "I have to say that this Shen Quan is really talented and can always create surprises for us."
"The new regiment's combat effectiveness is so strong. It gave us a strong fight in the World War II zone. It's really exciting."
The deputy commander continued to exclaim: "Yes, as long as Shen Quan doesn't make mistakes and doesn't get into trouble, this kid will definitely be a general in the future."
The staff officer echoed: "If Shen Quan knew that your leader praised him so much, he would definitely be raised to the sky."
"With just this one battle, it's not a big deal to make this kid stand up."
It can be said that even if Shen Quan calls the deputy commander at this moment and tells him that he has made a big mistake, he will not be shot.
There is no way, Shen Quan's contribution in this battle is too great.
Not to mention anything else, just one Lieutenant General Hattori Naomi was enough to excite the leaders of the entire North China region for three days and three nights.
Since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, although the Japs have suffered many setbacks in Daxia, the most killed are the Japs soldiers. There are only a handful of Japs high-ranking officials at the lieutenant general level like Hattori Naoomi.
The chief of staff asked: "I wonder what reward the leader wants to give Shen Quan this time?"
"I haven't thought of it yet, just remember it first!"
Although there is no answer yet, everyone at the headquarters knows that the reward Shen Quan received this time must be several times higher than the reward he received in the Wujiapo battle.
…
The other side.
World War II Area Command,
The communications soldier quickly came to Commander Yan with the latest intelligence and said, "Sir, I have just received the latest military intelligence report."
At this moment, Commander Yan was reading yesterday's newspaper from Chongqing. He didn't understand what was happening in northwest Shanxi, so he just casually replied: "What's going on down there? Come and listen."
"yes!"
Immediately, the signal corps opened the telegram and read: "After verification, the Japanese formed a senior officer observation group to come to northwestern Shanxi to observe the special operations technology of Yoshio Shinozuka.
This time, the target of the special forces under Shinozuka Yoshio is the Eighth Route Headquarters.
During the military operation here, Shen Quan, the new regiment of the 386th Brigade, led the new regiment to fight bravely. The entire regiment attacked in three directions and successfully ambushed the Japanese observation group and killed Japanese Lieutenant General Hattori Naomi and three major generals. There are countless officers at the rank of junior lieutenant. "
Hearing this, Commander Yan was suddenly stunned. He quickly put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at the communications soldier with his eyes wide open.
"At the same time, after wiping out the Japanese observation group, Shen Quan led part of the new regiment to sneak attack on the Huting stronghold. There were countless enemies, many batches of supplies were seized, and the Huting stronghold was captured in one fell swoop."
This military intelligence information is all actual records, without any embellishing.
Lieutenant General? Naoomi Hattori?
Three Japanese major generals?
Are there countless junior officers?
In a long report, Chief Yan emphasized these important words.
Such achievements are simply the glory of the World War II zone!
Chief Yan was completely shocked.
As the supreme commander of the war zone, he has seen all kinds of things in the world.
But at this moment, he still couldn't sit still.
He knew very well how difficult it was to kill a Japanese Army officer.
In just one battle, the New Regiment killed a lieutenant general, three major generals, and even junior officers did not bother to mention it.
This is awesome!
"Okay, okay, okay!" Commander Yan said "ok" three times in a row. He liked Shen Quan so much that he almost held it in his hand and treated it like the apple of his eye.
Chen Xudong on the side also said excitedly: "With such a fierce fighting team, we have hope for the revival of Daxia!"
After leaning a little, Commander Yan regained his excitement and said, "I never expected that such a powerful anti-Japanese team would appear in our World War II zone. Now I feel proud."
"The new regiment's fierce combat effectiveness is inseparable from the key role of the commander. This regiment leader named Shen Quan will definitely be a pillar of our Great Xia in the future."
When Shen Quan's name was mentioned, Chief Yan's eyebrows were full of indescribable admiration.
Anyone who sees a tiger general who can win a battle should take a second look.
Chen Xudong knew what Commander Yan was thinking at a glance and echoed: "This time Shen Quan led the New Regiment to make great achievements. Although the New Regiment is not in the national battle sequence, it is a combat team in the World War II zone after all and deserves to be rewarded! "
In order to unite the front, all combat teams in the World War II zone are under the jurisdiction of Commander Yan. Although each unit has a high degree of autonomy in operations and development, they are still subject to the control of the theater headquarters.
Therefore, it is reasonable for Chief Yan to give Shen Quan a commendation.
But the so-called commendation is just a document with a seal, and there is no actual reward.
At this stage, it was difficult for Commander Yan to protect himself. The Jinsui Army, his direct unit, suffered setbacks on the battlefield. The president directly ordered that the supplies for the Jinsui Army be halved.
Without the support of superiors, the arsenal and logistics under Commander Yan would not be able to supply hundreds of thousands of Jinsui troops.
Chen Xudong suggested: "Sir Yan can issue commendation orders to the New Regiment and Shen Quan in the name of the World War II zone."
Although there is no actual reward, verbal praise is naturally indispensable.
Commander Yan nodded and said: "Xudong is right. The wording of this commendation order must be carefully chosen, and the merits of the new regiment in this battle must be vigorously publicized."
