I rise from the sword

Chapter 332 Soldiers under pressure, the crisis of the Zhongrui Regiment

Of course, Shinozuka Yoshio also hated Li Yunlong's independent group to the bone, and wished he could get rid of it and then quickly.

However, the independent group skaters are almost the same as loaches, and almost all hide in the mountains.

Even if the independent group occasionally showed up and caused some damage, they would change places with just one shot.

Therefore, even though Shinozuka Yoshio wanted to take revenge on Li Yunlong, he couldn't find the main force of the independent group for a while.

This is like having a body of strength, but nowhere to display it.

Therefore, Shinozuka Yoshio could only target the Zhongrui Regiment stationed in Wenshui County to deal with Yang Lin, the villain.

After making up his mind, Shinozuka Yoshio immediately turned his head and said to the Chief of Staff Miyano Toshi, "Miyano-kun!"

"Hi Yi!"

Toshi Miyano paused fiercely, and asked for instructions: "Your Excellency, Commander, please give instructions!"

Shinozuka Yoshio said: "Immediately inform the generals and chief officers of the various ministries to hold a meeting at the headquarters at noon tomorrow."

"Hi Yi!"

Miyano Toshi paused again, and he waited for a few seconds to confirm that Yoshio Shinozuka had no other orders, then turned around and left the office, heading towards the confidential department...

noon the next day.

War Room of the First Japanese Army.

The entire war room was full of generals, and all the devil officers had extremely serious expressions on their faces.

Because they had already learned that the Yamazaki Brigade and the Matsushita Brigade were annihilated by the Chinese army last night, they guessed that this meeting must be more related to this matter.

Moreover, according to reliable information, it is very likely that Yang Lin's Zhongrui regiment ambushed and wiped out the Matsushita brigade this time.

Thinking that the matter had something to do with the Zhongrui Regiment, and that Yoshio Shinozuka had called so many senior generals, the senior devil officials present realized that this meeting would definitely not be too simple.

Soon, Shinozuka Yoshio walked in from the outside with sonorous and forceful steps, and the devil officers in the combat room hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Yoshio Shinozuka walked to the front seat, looked around with sharp eyes, and raised his hand to signal everyone to sit down.

Then he said: "Everyone, I believe you must be very curious about the purpose of my summoning you here."

After a pause, Yoshio Shinozuka continued: "Just last night, the Matsushita Battalion was on its way to reinforce the Yamazaki Battalion, and was ambushed by the sharp regiment of the Chinese Army, and finally the entire army was wiped out."

"The annihilation of the Matsushita Brigade soon triggered a series of chain reactions, which not only led to the lack of timely and effective reinforcements for the Yamazaki Brigade, which was besieged by the Chinese Eighth Route Army on Lijiapo, but also led to the annihilation of the entire army.

At the same time, it also destroyed the strategic plan of our Great Japanese Imperial Army who wanted to be baited by the Yamazaki Brigade, and the center blossomed to severely damage the Eighth Route Army of China! "

As he spoke, Yoshio Shinozuka's face became more and more fierce, and his tone became more and more cold.

"This damned Yang Lin and the Zhongrui regiment have repeatedly sabotaged the good things of our Imperial Japanese Army, and they seem to be the number one confidant of our Imperial Japanese Army, and even the entire Imperial Japanese Empire!
It is a disgrace to my Great Japanese Empire! "

After a pause, Shinozuka Yoshio went straight to the topic and said, "I've called you here this time to discuss with you how to deal with this damned Yang Lin and the Zhongrui group, so as to clean up the crimes they brought to me. The endless shame of the army!"

"Here is a battle plan that I drew up overnight, please take a look at it first."

Saying that, Shinozuka Yoshio passed on the document placed on the conference table in front of him...

Facing the proactive provocations launched by the Eighth Route Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, who has always been conceited and proud, and even Ningji Okamura, the commander of the North China Front Army behind him, could not give in.

Therefore, this time Yoshio Shinozuka decided to take this opportunity to launch another large-scale sweep and encirclement campaign against the Chinese army's base area.

In general, the extermination of Yang Lin's Zhongrui regiment is actually only part of Shinozuka Yoshio's mopping up plan, and of course, it is also the most important part...

Half a month later, the Japanese army in North China gathered heavy troops and quickly launched a frenzied sweep against the Eighth Route Army, the Jinsui Army, and the Central Army's garrisons.

This time the Japanese and puppet troops made a comeback, gathering two divisions, plus 5 independent brigades, and several Imperial Association military divisions, with a total strength of more than 15.

The Japanese and puppet troops were divided into two groups, adopting the strategy of fighting on two fronts at the same time.

Some Japanese and puppet troops attacked the main force of the national army in southwest Shanxi, while the other Japanese and puppet troops swept up the Eighth Route Army bases in northwest Shanxi.

The enemy advanced at both ends, constantly encroaching on the anti-Japanese base areas of the country and the Communist Party.

This time, the cruel Japanese army adopted the "three alls" policy, burning, killing and looting everywhere they went.

Even the elderly up to 80 years old, and the baby still waiting to be fed in the arms are not spared.

The 27th Division of the Japanese Army advanced all the way to the southwest of Shanxi, and soon approached Wenshuiguan.

The 27th Division of the Japanese Army is the Type B division of the three-three system, with the Chinese Garrison Brigade as the backbone, organized on July 1938, 7.

The 27th Division of the Japanese Army took advantage of its weapons and equipment, the quality of its personnel, and its aviation force. After a few days of fierce fighting with the national army, it quickly occupied some villages and towns and approached the Wenshuiguan area.

The little devils of the 27th Division are very cruel. As long as they lay down a place, the devil soldiers will massacre captives and ordinary people, burn down civilian houses, and cause all kinds of tragedies...

It is worth mentioning that after the 27th Division of the Japanese Army arrived at the Wenshuiguan defense line, it did not launch an offensive immediately. Instead, it detoured south and turned its offensive target to Fenyang County, a hundred miles southwest of Wenshuiguan.

The reason why the little devil suddenly changed the direction of attack was also very obvious. Naturally, it was to encircle and suppress the Zhongrui regiment stationed in Fenyang County.

Moreover, compared with the Wenshuiguan defense line, although Fenyang County is dominated by mountains, it does not have a natural defense line like Wenshuiguan, which is much easier to attack.

The 27th Division of the Japanese Army fought and won victoriously. After some brutal burning, killing and looting, they marched 20 kilometers east of Fenyang County that night.

The 27th Division of the Japanese Army was stationed in Yanwu Township, and the soldiers pointed directly at the Zhongrui Regiment stationed in Fenyang County...

During this period of time, although Yang Lin's Zhongrui regiment did not carry out any military operations, it has been stepping up training, especially the flying brigade and the tank and chariot company.

With the passage of time, the officers and men of the flight brigade and the tank and tank company can be said to have reached the point of proficiency in the control of aircraft and tanks, and they just need an actual battle to test it.

In addition to training, Yang Lin was naturally also paying attention to the changes in the Second Theater and even the entire country. He knew the strategic intentions of the Japanese 27th Division not only at a glance, but also by heart.

You can also use them to practice your hands!
It is worth mentioning that although Yang Lin despises little devils strategically, he will never be arrogant in tactics, but will pay attention to little devils tactically.

Even if it is the same victory, Yang Lin will try his best to minimize casualties and losses.

When he learned that the 27th Division of the Japanese Army had detoured Wenshuiguan and entered Yanwu Township, he called the chief officers of the whole regiment for a meeting overnight.

Zhongrui Regiment Department.

Yang Lin, who was sitting at the top, glanced at the supervisors, and finally set his eyes on Monk Wei.

"Monk, tell everyone about the intelligence your special forces team has detected."

"Yes! Group seat!"

Duan Peng suddenly agreed, stood up from his seat immediately, and reported: "Our special forces team just came back from reconnaissance, and according to Tongue's account, the enemy stationed in Yanwu Township is the Devil's 27th Division.

In addition, in addition to the little devils of the 27th Division, there is also a brigade of the Imperial Association Army. "

"The Devil's 27th Division is the 3rd Division Division. It has 2 infantry regiments, an artillery regiment, an engineering regiment, and a logistics regiment. In addition, there is a search brigade and a chariot regiment. The brigade has a total strength of more than [-] people."

The so-called knowing oneself and the enemy will never end in a hundred battles.

Monk Wei finished talking about the military system of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army, and then began to introduce the history and weapons and equipment of the 27th Division.

The 27th Division of the Japanese Invading Army was organized on July 1938, 7, with the Chinese Garrison Brigade as the backbone.

The so-called Chinese Garrison Army is the earliest Japanese army stationed in China since the signing of the "Xin Chou Treaty" in 1901.

It can be said that it is also a great shame for China!

第27师团属于特设乙种师团，辖下3个步兵联队，驻屯步兵第1、第2、第3联队。

The 27th Division has a little less number of people than the regular Type A Division, and the weapons and equipment of each regiment are all distributed according to the standards of the Type A Division.

The most important thing is that this unit has participated in the frontal battles between China and Japan many times, and all the soldiers are veterans.

If you add the Imperial Association Army of that brigade, after all, in terms of numbers, the enemy is more than three times that of the Zhongrui Regiment.

In addition, in order to completely eliminate the Zhongrui regiment once and for all, Shinozuka Yoshio also equipped the 27th Division with a heavy artillery brigade, with a total of 12 150mm heavy howitzers.

And the eyes of the aviation unit are also focused on Fenyang County.

When Monk Wei finished all the information about the 27th Division of the Japanese Army, the faces of everyone present became serious.

Although, they once wiped out more than 3 little devils in Jiaocheng Mountain.

But that was based on the advantage of the location, and the little devils carelessly underestimated the enemy, and these little devils didn't put in all of them at once, but like a refueling tactic, they put in little by little.

Moreover, the Zhongrui regiment did not fight alone that time.

But this time, the situation is completely different. Not to mention that the Zhongrui Regiment is most likely fighting alone, the little devil also knows the strength of the Zhongrui Regiment, so he will definitely not make the mistake of underestimating the enemy again.

Therefore, this time, it is almost impossible to defeat the 1th Division as easily as the 4st Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, the 37th Brigade of the Japanese Army, and the various units of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army at Jiaocheng Mountain.

Yang Lin lit a cigarette, took a few deep breaths, then slowly exhaled the smoke circle, saying: "The little devil just attacked a county town, and actually dispatched a full division of troops, you really think highly of our Zhongrui regiment. "

According to the little devil's previous combat strategy, dispatching a division can even take down a province and defeat several armies of the national army.

It can be seen from this that Yoshio Shinozuka attaches great importance to Yang Lin and the Zhongrui Tuan, and how determined he is to eliminate the Zhongrui Tuan.

"That's right, Tuan Zuo, the little devils dispatched too many troops this time. I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the little devil's attack with only the strength of my Zhongrui regiment."

"Besides, this is not Jiaocheng Mountain, and there is no such strong natural defense line, and most of the officers and soldiers of our Zhongrui Regiment are recruits who have just been recruited, have never been on the battlefield, and have no actual combat experience."

"Tuan Zuo, the enemy is outnumbered right now, in order to ensure safety, should we ask for some reinforcements from above..."

……

The chief officers in the regiment headquarters spoke one after another. Although the Zhongrui Regiment had created many miracles before, they still did not think that the Zhongrui Regiment alone could defeat the 27th Division of the Japanese Army.

Yang Lin and the rest of the people had said almost everything, and then slowly opened their mouths and said: "The little devil's raid this time is unprecedentedly large, and the devil's target is not just my Zhongrui regiment, but my entire Second War Zone." .”

"In addition, the little devil's offensive is extremely ferocious and fast. Many counties and towns are already in emergency, and the war zone chief is busy dispatching troops and deploying defenses to deal with this little devil's raid.

They are now full of lice, and there is no extra troops to reinforce us in the short term. "

After listening to Yang Lin's analysis, everyone fell into silence.

A month ago, Li Yizhou's undercover identity was exposed. Fortunately, Yang Lin dispatched a special warfare brigade in time to rescue him from Heyuan County.

At this time, Li Yizhou, who was then the commander of the 5th Battalion of the Zhongrui Regiment, had already returned to the team.

His character is relatively cowardly, and he said with some concern: "Tuan Zuo, what should we do now?"

"Why don't we move temporarily and avoid the enemy's edge first?"

Yang Lin's face sank, and he said coldly: "Now, Northeast China, North China, Central China, and even most of China have fallen!
If Hunan Province and the Southwest fall again, China will really perish! "

"It can be said that even though Huaxia is big, we have no way out!"

"Think about those ordinary people whose families have been destroyed and displaced, think about those ordinary people who have been bullied and slaughtered by little devils!
They will be like this, because our soldiers are incompetent and cannot resist the enemy from outside the country! "

"Now, if we run away again, do we want to leave the fathers and folks in Fenyang County to fend for themselves, and let them be bullied and slaughtered by little devils?"

"If you really do this, are you worthy of the military uniform on your body and your own military salary?"

Yang Lin's words were resounding and deeply touched everyone present.

Especially Li Yizhou, the commander of the 5th Battalion, flushed with shame and lowered his head.

"Tuan Zuo, I know I'm wrong!"

"Tianjin fell, and I became a deserter. When Hebei fell, I also became a deserter. When Taiyuan fell, I became a traitor in order to survive."

"Thanks to your magnanimity, Tuan Zuo, you gave me a chance to change my mind and start a new life!"

"This time, I will definitely not be a deserter again, let alone betray my country to survive!"

"This time, I am willing to be a pioneer!"

"You gave me the life of a humble job, what to do, Tuan Zuo, just give me your life!

Even if the humble job is sent to the mountain of swords and the sea of ​​fire, the humble job will not frown! "
