Bright Sword: Hosting the independent regiment, all become special forces

Chapter 178
The chief of staff came to the conference table with the telegram.

The chief and others are all there.

"According to Zhao Gang's report, they have already abandoned most of Lingyang, Anhua and other areas. The guards in Luochang County are also alternately covering and evacuating with the Xinyi regiment. They decided to guard the northern foot of Taihang Mountain, Xiaowangzhuang base area and other areas."

"What the hell is Li Yunlong's idea to give up so many favorable terrains and retreat directly to the Taihang Mountains?"

"I think most of them have blown up all the bridges in the defense zone, just to delay time!"

The chief of staff nodded: "According to Zhao Gang's telegram yesterday, Zhang Wei and his small troops have returned.

Ishihara Wanji, the head of the [-]th Division, has been conferred, but the command system of the [-]th Division has not been completely destroyed.

Along the way, the devil's attack became more and more crazy.

Zhang Wei judged that it was because the devil's supplies could not keep up, so he wanted to make a quick decision.

According to Zhao Gang, they not only planted a large number of mines on the devil's offensive route, but also blew up bridges in the defense zone.

It is estimated that it can delay the devil for about a day, and the others are not guaranteed, but they are determined to last for another week!
"

"It's good that they have this determination. The devils can last up to five days. The logistics supply line of the 41st Division has been cut off by us. It is estimated that the supplies of the Sixteenth Division and the Ninth Mixed Brigade are at most 30%. The mixed brigade was even transferred to the Taiyuan area by Neiji Okamura."

The chief slapped the table, combined all the information, and said very firmly.

"Our raid has achieved good results. Judging from the current situation, they have less than [-] troops left. With such a large number of troops, the devils will definitely retreat in three days at most. , Victory is in sight, Li Yunlong was ordered by telegram, ordering him to stand firm for three days, after three days, we will surely win!"
-
"Can I get in touch with the chief?"

Xing Zhiguo handed Zhao Gang a bowl of freshly brewed tea.

"Not yet, but the cavalry communication reports that the deputy brigade commander and the independent regiment are building an ambush position in the area of ​​Pingshan Village! By the way, there is good news. It is said that the Soviet comrades made the high-level dual-purpose machine gun last night and tested it. After a while, the effect is very good. According to the estimates of Soviet comrades, the lifespan should be about [-] rounds. Although it is not much, it is enough!
It is relatively restrictive to use, and the position of the machine gun must be excavated in advance, otherwise it cannot be used. The overall weight is [-] kilograms, and it is equipped with six soldiers. "

Zhao Gang nodded: "Let the secret service battalion be ready for battle at any time. Chu Yunfei's battle situation is not optimistic. He just sent us a telegram saying that the outer positions have been captured by the 29th Brigade. They are relying on the terrain and ambushing the devils in circles. Woolen cloth!"

"The battalion commander Long has led the troops forward for more than ten miles. The ladders are configured and the battle deployment is done. The terrain is very favorable for us. Moreover, with the help of the militia in the base area, we have dug a large number of communication trenches, whether it is an ambush or a retreat. , are very convenient.”

Having said that, Xing Zhiguo went on to comfort Zhao Gang and said:

"Actually, don't worry about the 358th Regiment. The Jinsui Army is good at this kind of defensive warfare. What's more, the artillery of the 29th Brigade is not very strong! Even if the 358th Regiment is defeated, there are still secret service battalions and local troops. It is absolutely impossible to take down 5000 people without dying!"

Zhao Gang is still very confident about the defense of the arsenal.

"The devils used poison gas bombs, which were thrown from airplanes. They caught them off guard and lost more than 800 people in one day!"

Deputy head Xing's face changed, and he cursed: "These bastards! I'll go to the arsenal to make arrangements. If the situation changes, let them be ready to move at any time!"
-
"Your Excellency, Captain, our vanguard was once again ambushed by the enemy and suffered heavy losses!"

"Approximately how many locust soldiers were lost?"

"About 500 people, but we advanced ten kilometers and wiped out three villages. Although we failed to capture the Chinese, their villages have been destroyed by us!"

Kuroda Chiaki stood next to the map: "According to the established battle plan, continue to attack and let the Imperial Association Army open the way!"

"Hay!"

The devil wants to attack more cautiously.

Since the start of the war, the devils and puppet troops have lost almost 1 people. This is not counting the loss of materials, and countless materials have been harassed and destroyed by local troops and special operations brigades.

The devil's offensive troops and logistical troops have basically been in a state of disjoint.

On the one hand, issues such as time and late stage require them to attack quickly and clear the Northwest of Shanxi. closed.

The four counties in Northwest Shanxi have basically been occupied by devils, but none of the four counties in Northwest Shanxi has any civilians!All the people have been transferred. For the devil, it is equivalent to getting such a large piece of land, but nothing else.

Neiji Okamura is also very entangled, is it possible to go back?

Then I go?Wasn't this battle in vain?After losing so many Japanese and puppet troops in vain, the main force in Northwest Shanxi was still not wiped out.

Okamura Ningji didn't have an answer, so he simply reported the situation in detail and handed it over to the headquarters of the dispatched army.

Neiji Okamura elaborated on the stakes in the telegram, comparing the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Northwest of Shanxi with the No.70 Fourth Army of the Eighth Army of the Central Army.

Neiji Okamura even believed that in mobile warfare, the combat effectiveness of the 18th Brigade of the No. 386 Group Army was even much stronger than that of several armies directly related to the Central Army.

Hata Junliu, Harem Jun, Noda Kengo and the others were also worried about their heads. This fucking attack Northwest Shanxi with great fanfare turned out to be anticlimactic and worse than Changsha. How could this be like the confession of the locusts in Tokyo?
"Send a telegram to Lieutenant General Okamura. If you can't wipe out the enemy in front of you within three days, you must restore the pre-war situation!"

Neji Okamura received a telegram from his superiors, and also sent it to the attacking 41st and [-]th Division commanders. They were only given three days. If they still cannot annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi, you guys He committed seppuku to repay the locust.

The devils at these attack points were all ordered to die, and they would even fire two or three shots first when they saw terrain that was easy to ambush, and even call for air support first.

Even if it is a waste of ammunition and shells, it will not hesitate.

The devils did this, but Li Yunlong and Zhang Wei were worried. The devils approached the Xiaowangzhuang base day by day, but there was no suitable opportunity to ambush the devils. If this continues, the devils will attack within two days. On the edge of the base area, they have no way to retreat!
