Pear County.
Westfield United.
"waste!"
Looking at the detailed investigation report on the annihilation of the Yamadao Regiment that had just been sent by the First Army Headquarters in his hand, the commander of the Nishida Regiment, Nishitano, sneered.
He is also the co-captain of the garrison brigade formed in the first phase.
Nishino and Yamadao are familiar with each other, but their relationship is not good, it can even be said to be bad.
Colonel Yamashima was killed by Tobali, and all the regiment flags were captured by the enemy. Nishidano could only feel happy.
but··
"Is Tubalu so powerful?"
Nishida still knows Shandao's abilities very well. Although this person is arrogant, he has very good command skills.
Only slightly weaker than him.
The 386th Brigade can completely annihilate the Shandao Regiment!
Even if there are factors such as Shandao's idiot being careless, arrogant and underestimating the enemy and daring to go deep into the hinterland of Taiyue Mountain alone, it is enough to show that Tubalu's strength has been greatly improved.
"The reason they appeared on Tubal Road in Mengjiazhuang was to repeat their old tricks, attract me to attack, and then lay a heavy ambush in the mountainous area."
"Is the Locust Army so stupid?"
"Can the same trick succeed twice?"
Nishino scoffed again.
There are plains around Li County, which are very suitable for the Locust Army to fight. As long as he doesn't go out, even if an independent regiment comes, what can he do?
A wing staff officer from the Westfield Wing was called.
"The person who appeared on Tuba Road in Mengjiazhuang is from the 386th Brigade?"
"Hi."
The staff officer lowered his head and answered.
"Which unit of the 386th Brigade is it?"
Nishino asked carefully.
According to the information provided by the headquarters, although several main regiments of the 386th Brigade have generally been equipped with advanced foreign weapons, there is still a huge difference in combat effectiveness.
The strongest among them is the independent group, headed by Li Yunlong.
Followed by the new regiment, the 771st regiment, and the 772nd regiment.
Then came the 38th Regiment, the 57th Regiment, the New Second Regiment and so on.
He needs to judge based on the enemy's specific unit number whether the enemy is only here to expand the rural base area in the border area, or whether he is interested in Li County, the entrance to the Changzhi Basin.
"Not sure."
The staff officer lowered his head and his voice suddenly became lower.
"Nani?"
Nishida was stunned for a moment, then became furious:
"idiot!"
"It's been four days and you still haven't figured out who the enemy is?"
It has been four days since Tubalu appeared in Mengjiazhuang, north of Li County. He also ordered to investigate and test this group of Tubalu for four days. As a result, he did not even know the enemy's number.
The only number of the 386th Brigade was reported by the enemy on its own initiative.
"waste!"
Nishida slapped him directly.
Having just graduated from the military academy, Nishino was also a low-level squad leader officer when he joined the army.
At that time, he was often slapped.
At that time, Nishida made up his mind to correct the bad habit of slapping junior officers, which was common in the imperial army.
But when he became a squadron leader, a group leader, and finally a wing leader, Nishida discovered that slapping was really useful. It could not only show his prestige, but also enhance the efficiency of junior officers.
So I decisively abandoned my determination.
"Hi."
The staff officer lowered his head and stood at attention, his voice getting louder.
"Within two days, I want the enemy's specific number, which is the regiment of the 386th Brigade."
Nishida issued a death order.
"Hi!"
The staff officer bowed his head and responded, his voice getting louder.
···
"Your mission this time is to attract the attention of the Japanese."
“So the bigger the action, the better.”
"It's best to attract the enemy's attention to cover the 772nd Regiment and the brigade transport team."
Outside Wuxiang County, Ding Wei and all the soldiers of the New Regiment were stationed in a village. In the village next to him were the New Second Regiment and the 38th Regiment who were participating in the mission.
There is also a company of the brigade headquarters artillery battalion, equipped with six latest 82 mortars.
The total strength is five thousand.
In the headquarters, recalling the brigade commander's instructions, Ding Wei looked at the map of Wuxiang County with thoughtful eyes.
The mission of the three regiments this time was to pretend to attack Wuxiang County, in order to cover the 772 regiment and the brigade transportation team to transport 500,000 silver dollars to the 115th Division Hengshan base through the Zhengtai Line.
The Japanese's tight blockade on the Zhengtai Line has caused the troops to suffer heavy losses many times.
To this end, almost all the mobile regiments currently available to the 386th Brigade have been used.
The 771st Regiment did not come because it was responsible for training new officers. The 57th Regiment, after annihilating the Shandao Regiment, and the Independent Regiment were responsible for the training of militiamen in the Taiyue Base Area. The 57th Regiment did not come. .
The New Third Regiment is stationed in Liao County.
As for Li Yunlong and the Independent Group, they are causing trouble in Li County.
"There needs to be a lot of noise."
"To attract the full attention of the First Army Japs"
"But try not to conflict with the Japanese."
Ding Wei has a little headache for this task.
This is my first time doing this kind of combat mission.
Fortunately, this time he had enough troops and strong strength, allowing him to have a plan.
"The New Regiment and the 38th Regiment blockade Wuxiang County."
"The New Second Regiment is going to cut off the Baijin Railway."
Ding Wei gave the order.
"yes!"
Kong Jie stood at attention and saluted.
The brigade headquarters asked Ding Wei to command three regiments with one regiment commander. The intention was very clear. To train him, it was estimated that if he was not needed, the treatment of a deputy brigade commander would be on Ding Wei's head.
Kong Jie's eyes were complicated.
As the saying goes, you are not only afraid that your brother will not have enough to eat, but you are also afraid that your brother will get rich.
Kong Jie is not like this.
But seeing that Ding Wei's abilities are getting stronger and stronger, his position is getting higher and higher, and Li Yunlong also has a main force of 5,000 people, and his treatment has long been that of a deputy brigade commander. It is inevitable that he will feel complicated.
"yes!"
Wu Cheng, leader of the 38th Regiment, also stood at attention and saluted.
Wu Cheng's thoughts are much simpler.
Ding Wei is his old regiment leader, and Ding Wei is promoted, so he is naturally happy.
"The forces deployed by the little devils in Wuxiang County are not weak."
"Including surrounding strongholds, the total strength exceeds 2,000."
"Our strength advantage is not big."
"But this time the mission is to attract at least two regiments on the Zhengtai line to come over for support, so the momentum must be unleashed."
Ding Wei continued:
"Each regiment will use full firepower, and grenades and 60-meter mortars can be used appropriately."
Because of the artillery battalion sent by the headquarters, Ding Wei was very smart in June and had no idea of attacking Li Yunlong's weapons and ammunition.
But we also know that starting from June, Li Yunlong can produce 200,000 rounds of 60 mortar shells and 200,000 rounds of grenades every month. Even if the independent regiment consumes some, it can save at least 15,600 rounds. Thousands of hairs.
It’s not a big problem to consume some.
"yes."
Kong Jie and Wu Cheng each led their teams away.
···
North of Li County.
Osmanthus Village.
The area around Guihua Village is the most important grain-producing area in Li County and has a developed economy, so the Japs built a stronghold here and stationed a small team of Japs and a group of puppet troops.
Because the main force of the Eighth Route Army appeared in Mengjiazhuang not long ago, the coalition headquarters immediately mobilized a squadron to reinforce the Guihuazhuang stronghold and began to expand the position of the Guihuazhuang stronghold.
The patrol scope has also been reduced, no longer entering the mountainous area, only patrolling within one or two kilometers of the stronghold, and maintaining a high degree of vigilance.
this day,
When several Japanese highway patrolmen were preparing to turn back,
Sudden,
Boom boom boom...
A wave of missile grenades struck near the patrol.
The accuracy of grenades has always been low, even worse than that of mortars. Moreover, the terrain for this ambush was flat and there was a lack of good bunkers in summer. In order to avoid being discovered by the Japanese, they shot from a long distance, more than 500 meters away from the Japanese patrol. .
The first round of shooting was almost fruitless.
"Enemy attack."
When attacked, the Japanese reacted quickly and immediately ducked down to avoid entering the field, looking for the enemy.
But at this time the grenade suppression was continuing,
One grenade after another continued to fall into the hiding position of the Japanese. The Japanese who were beaten almost did not dare to move. They could only hide in the field, stick their heads out, and anxiously look for the location of the enemy's grenade.
Finally, when the seventh wave of grenades fell in the Japanese position, one Japanese soldier was unlucky and was hit by a large fragment in a vulnerable part of his throat, cutting off his blood vessels. The blood flowed immediately, and he soon lost his voice.
Subsequently,
Next to the Tiankan, two infantry squad soldiers who were creeping and approaching suddenly sprang out and fired fiercely at the Japanese patrol. The remaining Japanese patrol had to lower their heads and completely hide in the Tiankan.
Then, five or six soldiers armed with submachine guns sprang out from the flanks again. After approaching the Japanese patrol, they wiped out the five-man Japanese patrol in two or three strokes.
In less than five minutes,
More than thirty soldiers wiped out five Japanese patrols without any casualties.
But this time, the tactics used by the independent regiment were officially the new sparrow warfare invented by Li Yunlong - using superior troops and firepower to attack the patrols near the Japanese stronghold, and they would kill with one blow and never hesitate to fight.
"withdraw!"
The platoon leader leading the team saw the Japanese reinforcements approaching in the distance. He didn't even collect the loot and directly led the team to retreat.
