Rise from the sword

Chapter 243 Why are you panicking?Not for us.

"It seems that these new little devils are probably the elite troops of those permanent divisions."

Staring at the red dot of Shou County on the map, Ding Wei spoke solemnly.

Since he took over the Xinyi Regiment, he has only fought against the Little Devils of the Standing Division in Jiao County's support to cover Zhang Dabiao's killing of Miyano Doichi.

That time, his opponent was a brigade of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army.

After that battle, Ding Wei had a deep understanding of the fighting power of the devils in the permanent division, and also understood why the permanent division of the devils generally looked down on the second-tier divisions, and could even mock them face-to-face.

The gap between the two is indeed huge.

The weapons and equipment of the permanent division devils are better than those of the second-line divisions. The machine guns are crooked, which are better than crooked ones. They also have more cannons, and their firepower is far stronger than that of the second-line divisions.

Moreover, its soldiers and officers are also more elite.

The long-term battle has given the devil soldiers of the standing division very rich actual combat experience, strong individual combat capabilities, more thorough bushido brainwashing, and more fearless in combat.

The officer's command is also very flexible, no longer rigid as usual, and good at using interspersed tactics.

Far from what is said in ordinary troops, the devils will do that trick, the infantry will charge after the artillery bombards, and the infantry will charge after the artillery bombards.

When he was in Jiao County, relying on the geographical advantage and the superiority of mortar firepower, he fought against the devils at the beginning, with few casualties. The attacking troops of the Capital Devils were pushed to the edge of the position.

Fortunately, the battle lasted only one hour, and that time, the firepower of the troops led by him had been greatly enhanced, and a large number of mines had been laid in front of the position in advance, so the troops not only completed the mission perfectly, but also suffered little loss.

It was only when he was retreating that he noticed that some devils had penetrated his flanks and were about to touch his flank troops.If he retreats half an hour later, his troops will be pinched by the devils, and it may not be so easy to leave.

"Judging from the number of people, it should be a brigade full of devils who came to Shou County this time."

Ding Wei looked at the size of more than 500 people reported in the intelligence, and deduced the size of the little devil's fighting force.

Although the little devils are rich, they are not so rich that every army can be equipped with a large number of cars to transport luggage, and because of the shortage of troops, a large number of civilians will be recruited to transport weapons and luggage every time they march.

So it seems that the scale of 500 people is actually only about 1000 or 300 combat troops. As for the extra [-] people, some of them should be forced to recruit civilian husbands or second-line logistics troops.

However, even 1000 or [-] devils are very difficult to deal with.

"These devils are not easy to deal with."

In the end, Head Ding sighed.

Don't look at how Li Datuan beat the devils more than cutting melons and vegetables. The loss ratio of the big battle is because Li Yunlong's army is strong and the tactics are used properly. The most important thing is that someone provides sufficient and detailed information on the devils.

If other troops fight like Li Yunlong, they will definitely suffer a lot.

At the beginning, the second-line division devil brigade of Yamazaki brigade, which was half-full with more than 500 people, made all the main brigades overwhelmed.

If this group of devils came to fight, he, Ding Wei, would definitely transfer the people in the base area as soon as possible, and then run away with the troops.

Although the new regiment now has strong troops, well-equipped weapons, sufficient ammunition, and even an artillery company with a lot of shell reserves, the combat effectiveness of the troops can be said to be at the forefront of the entire Jinchaji base area.

but.

This is a full brigade of elite devils, with more than 1000 and [-] devil soldiers. There are nearly ten cannons alone, and a large number of armored vehicles. The new regiment is obviously at a disadvantage in terms of strength. These devils are tough.

Even if the position is prepared and there is a geographical advantage, but in the face of the little devil's artillery bombardment infantry rush and the flanks interspersed with three axes, the best result is that both sides will suffer heavy casualties, and he will lose more.

After all, devils have an absolute advantage in strength.

Such an uneconomical battle, would Uncle Ding fight?

"Then what should we do?"

The intelligence officer on the side spoke anxiously.

Judging from the tone of his head, this new enemy seems to be very difficult to deal with, and he is a strong enemy.And part of the base area of ​​Xinyituan is directly adjacent to Shou County, and there must be conflicts between the two.

"What's the hurry?"

Ding Wei cast a contemptuous glance at the intelligence officer, and instead of showing any panic in his tone, he smiled: "These devils are not coming after us."

Shou County is a small county, not a strategic point, and there are no traffic arteries around it, let alone rich resources. The devils suddenly sent an elite brigade of a permanent division with a lot of luggage. It must be to launch an attack of.

Although the devils were rampant, it was impossible to think that just relying on this brigade would dare to launch a sweep against the entire base area, so the purpose must be to target the surrounding garrisons.

Around Shou County, there are only two regiments, he and Li Yunlong.

Although he, Uncle Ding, is also the No. [-] figure, and the new group of fighters under him is screaming, but it is not worth the devils to send troops against them so much. So, don't think too much, this group of new devils is here for Li Yunlong.

And Li Datuan is not so easy to deal with.

"You mean, these devils are aiming at Captain Li of the Independent Regiment?"

The intelligence agent blinked.

"Correct."

Ding Wei smiled: "This new devil brigade is specially here to deal with Li Yunlong, and has nothing to do with us."

Taking the things that Chief Li Datuan has done recently, such as robbing the devil's bank, blowing up the devil's airport, robbing the devil's army column, killing the devil's officer, and every time he finishes his bad deeds, he can retreat successfully. Can the little devil not send troops to deal with Li Yunlong?
If you don't send troops to stare at Li Yunlong and find him something to do, God knows what else this kid can do.

"This group of new devils is so powerful, can the combination of Captain Li's independent group and our group handle it?"

The intelligence officer was still a little worried.

It was the first time he had seen that his team leader attached so much importance to devils.When encountering devils before, they always had a disdainful tone.

"It's hard to say..."

Ding Wei dragged his chin, lost in thought.

The new devil is very strong.

But Li Yunlong's independent group is not bad.

Light weapons.

The devil's turn is not as good as the Bren style, but each team is equipped with two grenade launchers, which can make up for the shortcomings and even have an advantage. However, the independent regiment has 60 mortars, and the two sides are actually evenly matched.

As for artillery.

Although the devil's body cannon has a long range, the mountainous surroundings of Shou County are not suitable for mountain cannons. Li Yunlong's mortar can draw a tie with its mobility and firepower.

Besides, Li Yunlong also has two [-] styles.

In actual combat, the outcome largely depends on the abilities of the commanders on both sides.

In this regard, Ding Wei is very confident in his old comrades in arms. Li Yunlong's evil idea of ​​fighting is not something ordinary people can stand. Captain Sakata United is a good proof.

But generally speaking, the devils still have the upper hand.

After all, devils have armored vehicles, and Li Yunlong lacks effective means to deal with them. The [-]-type infantry artillery is still not good enough to deal with agile armored vehicles.

"wait."

Ding Wei shook his head.

He wanted to cooperate with Li Yunlong to deal with these devils.

But the battle of the Yamazaki Brigade proved that the Eighth Route Army lacked the ability to actively attack the devils, let alone the devils in the county. Even if he teamed up with Li Yunlong, he could only wait for the devils to make moves and then focus on defense.

Moreover, although the bases of the two regiments were close, the shortest distance was tens of miles away. There was no means of telephone communication, and the cavalry correspondents were too slow to deliver messages. It was difficult to communicate with each other, and it was almost impossible to cooperate in combat.

"correct."

Ding Wei finally said: "All Li Yunlong's secret posts in Shou County have been pulled out by the devils. He probably doesn't know the devils well. You send someone to inform the independent group and tell Li Yunlong the details."

"Also, hurry up and find out the origins of these devils."

"Yes."

The intelligence officer nodded.

In the end, Ding Wei also called Chenghe, the commander of the first battalion, and asked him to raise the alert status of the troops and make the first battalion ready to be dispatched at any time.

······
Just when Ding Wei notified Li Yunlong of the arrival of a large number of devils in Shou County.

In the evening of the day.

In the new second regiment.

Kong Jie finally received all the latest news from the brigade.

The Second New Regiment was stationed on the edge of the base area, far away from the brigade headquarters, and the telephone line of the brigade headquarters had not yet been connected. The information was all relying on the cavalry correspondents, so the deeds of Li Datuan and Ding Wei's joint robbery of the devil's army column were only now passed on to Kong Jie ears.

Opening the new information, the head of Kong Da jumped up on the spot:
"Li Yunlong and Ding Wei, the dog days, don't call me when they have something good to do."

If it weren't for the machete that he carried with him, he would have been waving the machete at this time.

Li Yunlong and Ding Wei went to engage in the devil's army, such a lucrative business, they didn't call him Uncle Kong, let's see if he cut off these two superficial brothers.

However, look at the detailed information below.

In this battle, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei not only robbed dozens of tons of medicines, but also a large number of machinery and equipment. They even wiped out a brigade of devils, destroyed the devil's coal mine, and rescued a large number of refugees captured by devils.

Seeing this, Kong Jie's expression gradually calmed down, and finally he sat on the kang and sighed.

Although he was certain in his heart that part of the reason for not calling him was that Ding Wei and Li Yunlong wanted to take the benefits to themselves. After all, the regiment-level troops could not use machine medicines. One more person gets points for participating.

But there is still a large part of the reason. Uncle Kong's new second regiment has just been formed, and its level is indeed far inferior to the new first regiment and the independent regiment.It's not just a gap in gear.

As for the in-depth attack on the hinterland of the Japanese army, the quality of the troops is more important than the quantity.

The irritable Uncle Kong rushed out of the regiment headquarters, machete ahead of time, and called the battalion commanders:

"Have the soldiers eaten dinner?"

Uncle Kong was in a bad mood, and his tone was also very bad.

"Ate."

The battalion commander replied.

"Then the whole group will gather for training tonight, and I will personally lead the team."

Seeing the big blade in Kong Jie's hand and the ferocious expression on his face, the battalion commanders were puzzled, but they could only execute it silently.
