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

Chapter 185 The Battle Begins

Regarding the attack on the Tongpu Railway, Zhang Wei has been preparing for a long time, and even wanted to do it a long time ago. If the immediate boss is Li Yunlong, Zhang Wei would have done it a long time ago. If he is the brigade commander, he would not dare to be presumptuous, in case something happens. Man saved him.

"First Battalion, Second Battalion, carry out raids along the line according to the established combat plan, remember, mobilize the masses, and try to get us to clean up the railway for him! Battalion Commander Liu, your transportation battalion has heavy tasks, remember to allocate personnel well!"

"Yes!"

"The third battalion, moving to the Wutai area, is ready to deal with the reinforcements of the devils in the direction of Taiyuan at any time. I have greeted the head of the 772 regiment, and they will be the main force. Don't worry, the devils can have at most one regiment level Troops attack!"

"Yes!"

"The Artillery Battalion, the Special Operations Brigade, the regiment's mortar company, the second battalion and the sixth company, you all will attack Shuozhou County with me!"

"Yes!"

The Eighth Route Army frequently mobilized troops, and the devils were naturally aware of it. They urgently prepared for war, distributed supplies and dry food, and were ready to attack or run away at any time.

Shuozhou's garrison brigade is actually the most panic-stricken. Except for his nail, which is the closest to the base, the closest other friendly troops are also the cavalry brigade stationed in Shanyin, but a cavalry brigade is completely useless to Zhang Wei and others now.

After marching for two consecutive days, Zhang Wei arrived at the planned location.

"Regimental Commander, first pull out the outer strongholds or attack directly? Our troops are sufficient even for a full-scale attack!"

Zhang Wei glanced at Shi Fujian, who was used to fighting for wealth, and retorted: "You really don't know how to live, you kid. We don't feel sorry for the death of a hundred devils. They are beasts. I feel bad if even one of my soldiers dies." .Geng Jihui! Shi Dafan! You unplug the outer strongholds, remember to be fast!
Within a day, the Special Operations Brigade took out the outlying strongholds in Shuozhou.

The defense brigade in the stronghold also noticed something was wrong.

The head of the 41st Division did not immediately order support after receiving the telegram. Instead, he left the problem to Neiji Okamura.

Okamura Ningji didn't dare to act rashly now, if he was surrounded by the Eighth Route Army to fight for aid, the gain would outweigh the loss.

According to intelligence, the Eighth Route Army's arsenal has not been affected at all, but its production capacity has continued to expand.

And suddenly so many troops drilled around the base area, dividing the entire Zhengtai Railway into two sections, north and south.

In fact, the previously stockpiled shells were almost used up, and the reloaded shells did not make much difference in use.

But there is still a slight difference in performance, which is not a big problem.

The devils in Shuozhou couldn't leave the city to fight, and they couldn't retreat without orders. The people ran away early when they heard that there was going to be a war.

The devil didn't even react.

If you react, you will catch some civilians, making it difficult for the Eighth Route Army to attack the city.

Under the leadership of Zhang Wei, Du Qingming and Yang Zhihua each led an artillery squad, pushing the [-]nd Artillery to three kilometers away.

The defenders in the city do not have mountain artillery, which means that this is the limit range of the [-]nd Artillery. If it is not accurate for others, these two are not ordinary people.

Zhang Wei pointed to the outer area of ​​Shuozhou County and said with a smile: "Have you seen the outer positions? Fire two shots first!"

The two did not hesitate. After one operation, the shells accurately hit the outer positions, blowing away several devils who were waiting in battle.

"Good job, two more shots!"

"it is good!"

"BOMM"

"Baga! These damn Chinese people actually harass us like this!"

"Relax, Lord Xiaocang, if you hadn't asked to cut down all the trees in the two kilometers around the county, maybe they would have started attacking the city now!"

The trees around Shuozhou County were all cut down by the devils, which made it difficult for Zhang Wei to shorten the attack distance.

Once the anti-aircraft artillery battalion is in place, he can make a big attack.But relatively speaking, it's better to take advantage of the night, because the devils can't carry out precise bombing at night, and basically won't even take off.

If you attack during the day, the artillery positions protected by the anti-aircraft artillery battalion will be relatively better.

But limited.

Under normal circumstances, devils would not use air power for a small county, but this place in Northwest Shanxi is really special.

Zhang Wei only has such a little family background, so it can't be wasted.

Since the devils did not go out, Zhang Wei ordered that the two 92 guns be changed into four.

They spread out to harass the devils' positions, and even prepared two [-]-type heavy machine guns while waiting, and went upstairs there when they had nothing to do.

The shelling time here is random, and Zhang Wei even replaced the 92 guns later.

The mountain artillery was used to bombard the city directly, and the devils were harassed tirelessly, jumping like crazy, without even a chance to rest.

"Division Commander, I request to evacuate Shuozhou County, we really can't afford it!"

"Baga! They just attacked for a day and you can't defend the county?"

"Division Commander, the Eighth Route Army hasn't launched an attack yet, they are still shelling continuously. I suspect they want to harass us until we are exhausted before attacking!"

"Beep beep beep beep!" A busy voice came from the microphone,
Before he finished speaking, the telephone line was cut off by soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. Zhang Wei kept the telephone line during the day just for them to ask for help.

Originally, I wanted to play a set of siege to fight for aid, but who knew that after experiencing the incident in Dai County, these devils were not ready to move at all.

It was already night, and except for the 105 artillerymen who were inconvenient to move, they stayed in the base area, and the other artillerymen had already set up their artillery positions.

"After hitting a base number, let the special warfare team attack!"

"Yes!"

Shi Fujian rubbed his hands excitedly, isn't the romance of artillerymen just to blow up the enemy?

What's more, it can be a blast now.

The Japanese army became aware of the troops after they discovered that the telephone line was cut, and even gathered troops in the city, ready to deal with the attack of the Eighth Route Army at any time.

Then, the shelling of the Eighth Route Army began!

"Sure enough, as I expected, the Eighth Route Army chose to attack at night!"

"They lack ammunition and shells, and they estimate that a round of artillery support will launch a charge. Then it will be our advantage!"

The Devils had a good plan, but they never thought that the Independent Regiment was not the unit they had imagined. The shelling lasted for 10 minutes before it stopped. It was blown up.

The devil's outer positions were also bombed to pieces, and the gates and walls of the county town were also damaged to a certain extent.

Zhang Wei rushed out with a submachine gun and an iron fist with the soldiers, and took advantage of the full moon to launch an attack on Shuozhou County.

"boom!"

Twelve iron fists fired a volley, directly blowing down the city wall of Shuozhou. Where have these devils seen this kind of individual weapon before, they were immediately terrified.

As a signal bomb rose into the sky, the mortar company accompanying the attack began a new round of shelling on the city under Wang Chengzhu's signal.

After several waves of wild bombardment, Wang Chengzhu fired another flare into the sky, saying that there would be no more shelling to avoid accidental injury.

"Take the group as the offensive unit, only recognize the clothes but not the people! Pay attention to safety! Go!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The sudden shout of killing made the gang of devils who survived by chance frightened and frantically fled in the opposite direction. How could Zhang Wei let the devils escape so kindly?
The Second Battalion and Sixth Company ambushed on this road leading to Datong.

If he ran into the mountain after leaving the city gate, the devil might still survive, but he could run up to the sixth company's ambush position, but he would really be idle and eat arsenic, looking for death.

"Da da da!"

After further improvement, the performance of the victory style is even better. At least in this attack, Zhang Wei's random submachine gun did not jam.

The attack went very smoothly. When the ruins were cleared, the remaining devils were killed. Shuozhou County was completely in the hands of the independent group in just one day and one night.

"Order the troops to clean up the battlefield first, and then plant our flag on the top of the city. The devils will probably come to bomb us tomorrow!"

"No way, Captain, how do they know if they are our people?"

"A person like Ningji Okamura has fought against us twice, and suffered such a big loss both times. He naturally knows the combat effectiveness of our independent regiment. From the moment the phone was cut off, he estimated his strength. The order has been issued to the [-]th or [-]th Air Force Brigade!"

"This old devil is really insidious!"

"Soldiers are not tired of cheating. This is war. Even if he bombs by mistake, he will not lose anything. Most of the Shuozhou garrison brigade is recruits. Some low-quality soldiers can cause us a certain number of casualties. It is a victory."

"However, the devil would never think that we can reload the shells now! If we follow our previous idea of ​​relying on capture, the devil will definitely suffer a big loss this time!"

"That's right! Duan Peng, I found that your kid has indeed grown a lot. You don't have to follow me at night, you go to class at night with the special warfare brigade!"

Duan Peng nodded excitedly, which meant that Zhang Wei was going to promote him, and he was no longer a guard.

Chengfeng became a bodyguard for Zhang Wei, and now he is the battalion commander of the cavalry battalion. Duan Peng is the bodyguard for the regimental commander, at worst it must be a company commander, right?

Duan Peng thought so in his heart, and Zhang Wei actually thought so too. The position Zhang Wei gave Duan Peng was actually the commander of the guard company. Opportunity, after all, the secret service battalion is equivalent to his guard company.

An important station of the Tongpu Railway is Shuozhou Station. After the attack and capture of Shuozhou, there is no need for the northern section of the Tongpu Railway of the Devils to exist, but the disgusting thing is that the Devils have an armored train force Well, whoever encounters the first battalion and the second battalion will be considered unlucky, this thing is not easy to fight.

Zhang Wei also told them in advance that in such a situation, he would give up the mission and wait for the train to leave before attacking.

If Niangzi Guan has no train to transport supplies, it basically becomes useless. The devils can't even guarantee the transportation insurance, so they can only transport supplies from Hebei, instead of taking the railway line, the opportunities for the local troops of the Eighth Route Army will be much more up.

Early the next morning.

The roar of the engine came from the distant sky.

"Captain, the devil plane is coming!"

"Notify the anti-aircraft artillery battalion, and find the right opportunity! Don't save shells, you can knock down one!"

"Yes!"

Sure enough, as Zhang Wei expected, the devil's bombers began to drop bombs on Shuozhou County.

This arrogant bomber squadron was waiting for the anti-aircraft guns deployed last night.

Because there is really no one in Northwest Shanxi to compete with him for air supremacy.

Therefore, in order to bomb accurately, the devils often choose to lower the flying altitude, but they will not fly too low.

"Boom boom boom!"

The 12 anti-aircraft guns fired at the same time. Zhang Wei designed a 20mm caliber machine gun, and the equipment was naturally 20mm. The high-level dual-purpose machine gun has been assigned to the secret service battalion by Zhang Wei, and now only the machine gun is assigned.

After roaring for a while, the devil's plane was still safe and sound.

This is also normal. It is not so easy for the anti-aircraft artillery to shoot down the devil's plane.

Zhang Wei didn't say much, thinking about how he would comfort the recruits who were on the battlefield for the first time.

"Bomm!"

Maybe it was bad luck. Suddenly, a Japanese bomber was hit by a fuel tank or something, and suddenly exploded into a ball of fire.

"It's hit! It's hit! Captain, look!"

Zhang Wei nodded in relief. Damn, it's a good thing he hit, otherwise it would be really difficult.
-
Seeing that there was anti-aircraft firepower and the bombing mission had been completed, these devils did not choose to continue to entangle with the independent regiment, so they turned around and reported to their superiors that the independent regiment was equipped with anti-aircraft guns.

An hour after Neiji Okamura received the news, he sent the telegram to the headquarters of the Chinese Expedition Army without stopping for a moment.

Let alone the Eighth Route Army, the Central Army usually bought anti-aircraft guns before, and their own output was very low, almost negligible. Then they suddenly told the devils that the Eighth Route Army could make anti-aircraft guns by themselves.

This devil will definitely come up and give you two slaps, telling you not to dream, but the fact is like this, the devil even lost a plane.

"Where did the Eighth Route Army get the anti-aircraft artillery? It can't be made by the arsenal. Could it be that the Soviets violated the treaty and secretly sold it to them?"

"General, the Soviets are also grasshoppers after autumn. It won't be long before the German army is in full swing, and they are only [-] kilometers away from Moscow!"

"Then where did their anti-aircraft guns come from? It can't be the anti-aircraft unit of the Jinsui Army, right? According to the information from TGK, the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army have been engaged in friction recently, and even moved their guns!"

Many combat staff officers looked at each other, unable to explain why, Okamura Ningji took a deep breath, and said leisurely: "I see, completely abandon the northern Shanxi area, launch a comprehensive blockade, and force them to take the initiative to attack us! But, The troops of the Independence Regiment are really terrifying! We have never had the chance to fight them in the field! Instead, we have been led by the nose!"

The staff officer who has a close relationship with the head of the 27th Division said subconsciously: "General, we might as well wipe out the Eighth Route Army in the northern Jiangsu and southern Shandong areas first, so that we can free up another brigade. This is very important for us to block the Eighth Route Army station. helpful!"

Neji Okamura pondered for a moment: "Order the 33rd Division to sweep along the direction of southern Jiangsu to northern Jiangsu, and order the 27th Division to sweep from the southern direction of Shandong to the northern Jiangsu area along the highway. The Eighth Route Army entrenched in this area will also be wiped out!"

"Hay!"
