Soon, after Zhang Tianhai's combat order was issued, the units of the First Police Regiment were deployed according to Zhang Tianhai's instructions.
The national army marched very fast, mainly because the Japanese army had already pressed into the territory in large numbers.
According to Zhang Tianhai's deployment, the two companies of the cavalry battalion have already gone to support their first company - after all, the firepower configuration of the first cavalry company can only be regarded as the strength of one company of the ordinary national army, while the second and third companies are It's different, it's a standard reinforced company equipment.
The combined firepower of the entire cavalry battalion can still equal that of one and a half ordinary infantry battalions.
Because of this, Zhang Tianhai asked Wang Yongcheng to lead the troops forward. Otherwise, the cavalry reconnaissance company would be eaten by the Japs, which would be a big problem.
Regarding Captain Zhang's battle arrangements, many people actually have questions in their minds - why should the first battalion's defensive mission be removed and replaced by the second battalion? Is it because Battalion Commander Li was brought out by Commander Zhang?
They were murmuring in their hearts, but no one had foolishly opened the lid yet - the First Battalion had always been the regiment's key development target among the infantry battalions, and there were veterans who would immediately replenish the First Battalion for anything.
Of course, no one has any objection to the fact that most of the first battalion is veterans - the guys in the first battalion are good at things, but they are not the kind of people who just take things and don't work.
This is a consensus that you have to work after you get a good guy, and the first battalion did a good job in combat tasks.
In fact, the deeper reason is only known to Zhang Tianhai himself: Battalion Commander Li Chunfei and Fourth Battalion Commander Han Xingle were brought out by himself, so you can rest assured that they can at least understand their intentions and what they want to do.
All in all, it’s just two words - easy to use.
…
For Colonel Iizuka Kunigoro, this was his first time on the west bank of Poyang Lake, and nothing was new.
If you want to ask why, it can only be related to the experience of Colonel Iizuka Kunigoro - as a staunch mid-level officer of the Japanese invaders, his footprints can be said to have traveled to half of China. In the eyes of others, he may The novel scenery was already commonplace in his eyes.
Iizuka Kunigoro's big feet slowly stepped on the ground covered with fallen leaves. Not far away was the calm Poyang Lake and the warships on the lake. There was nothing in his eyes at this time, only Two words - arrogance.
After slowly looking around, Iizuka Kunigoro said in a deep voice: "Ximu-kun, now the main force of our regiment has landed on the west bank. Now I order your brigade to rush to the rescue of Jiujiang County from now on!"
"Hai!!" Captain Ximu responded, with a very confident aura.
However, a terrible battle report soon came -
I saw a Japanese soldier quickly running up to the two men and reporting: "Reporting to the two officers, an unknown number of troops appeared on the front line and launched a sporadic attack on our army. This enemy was very cunning and basically defeated a few of our troops." Then we retreated, and we retreated very quickly. We didn’t receive the military order from our commander, so we didn’t launch a counterattack against these enemies!”
"The news about these Chinese troops is really well-informed... Their troops have already appeared here just a short time after we landed, and according to the intelligence of Captain Tanaka Yijun, they were attacked by an unknown number of Chinese troops. The Central Army of the Central Army also has their miscellaneous troops. It seems that the situation in Jiujiang is not good..." Colonel Iizuka Kunigoro's expression quickly darkened. He knew that these Chinese troops were clearly provoking him!
At the same time, based on the information in his hand, it can be basically judged that the strength of the Chinese army here is at least one division.
Indeed, according to the arrogance of the Japanese army, they can completely ignore a Chinese division.
However, things are different now. After a series of heavy blows in Taierzhuang and Lanfeng, the Japanese army has somewhat restrained its arrogance - it is no longer the arrogant unit that dares to face 200,000 Chinese troops with half a division. .
"Then your Excellency, captain...how should we face these Chinese troops?" Captain Ximu asked.
As soon as Ximu said these words, Iizuka Kunigoro's face turned green. He said in a deep voice: "How many Chinese troops can scare off my grand army? Impossible! Order No. The first brigade immediately marched towards Jiujiang County after repelling the enemy! In addition, the second brigade followed the first brigade. I don’t want to be unable to break through the enemy’s position within two hours!”
"Hai!!" Ximu and another captain responded loudly, looking quite impressive.
As the Japanese troops moved out, everything began to change.
…
The camera turns to the other side, the national army side.
This is a small hill, which is not considered steep in general. On the contrary, it is somewhat gentle.
If we were to say what made the National Army troops lurk here, it would probably only be in four words - tall trees and dense forests.
That's right, the second and third companies of the cavalry battalion of the 1st Police Regiment have already advanced here, and even the attack just now was carried out by them - considering the firepower of the cavalry battalion, it is naturally impossible that they are only equipped with light weapons. He dares to provoke me again.
"Battal Commander, the little devils are out." A soldier ran over and reported.
Wang Yongcheng raised his eyebrows, and then asked: "How many people did Little Japan send out this time?"
"Report to the battalion commander, there may be more than 1,400 people." the soldier reported.
After hearing this, Wang Yongcheng thought for a moment, and then said: "Give me the order. All personnel will retreat immediately. Don't confront the little Japs head-on. Turn to the second position!"
"Yes! Battalion Commander!" the soldier responded.
Soon, rustling sounds were heard in the forest, and a group of very agile soldiers descended from the mountain, mounted their horses, and evacuated quickly.
In fact, the "No. 2 position" mentioned by Wang Yongcheng is not far from their "No. 1 position", and the straight-line distance is only about 700 to 800 meters.
In fact, under normal circumstances, a cavalry team with so many people should not be traveling so fast. However, the cavalry battalion of the First Police Regiment is an exception. Because the regiment leader Zhang Tianhai gave them sufficient time to train, and also consciously wanted to transform the cavalry battalion into a spy company, Wang Yongcheng was able to During training, I learned from the secret service company.
Yes, the training method adopted by the cavalry battalion is a combination of ordinary cavalry training methods and special agent company training methods for simultaneous training.
Unexpectedly, it would come in handy at this moment - the officers and soldiers of these cavalry battalions, when it comes to special operations, are definitely not as good as the secret service company, but their usual training allows them to display their skills in this mountain forest battle. .
The fighting situation was like a fire and the fighting spirit was like a sword. A cavalry unit quickly entered the next position to wait for the battle.
As for time, they are not worried at all - because under normal circumstances, as long as these little Japanese are not fools, they will not order their troops to rush directly to the mountain to fight. No one knows how many ambushes there are here.
…
Fifteen minutes later, the second position of the cavalry battalion.
"Battal Commander, do you think this kid will be fooled?" asked an officer next to him.
"What do you guys know? This is called luring the enemy deep!" Wang Yongcheng said while holding his military cap.
…
