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

Chapter 225 Sword Spirit!

Everyone moved forward at full speed until they were less than twenty miles away from Guangling County.

I just met the soldiers from the Spike and Black Tiger Special Operations Brigade that ended the battle. At the same time, the three strongholds and checkpoints around Guangling County have all been wiped out. Of course, the devils in the county have already received the news. Still waiting for a reply from my superior.

The Acting Commander of the 41st Division, Tsukie Yujin, completely panicked, and immediately sent a telegram to Okamura Neiji, and at the same time ordered the troops to assemble immediately.

But Yuejiang Youzhen, the first thing he thought of was not to support, but to retreat.

Before being transferred to the 41st Division, Yuejiang Youzhen was the commander of an infantry unit in the [-]th Division. They are a bit familiar with this division.

When he first took office, Yuejiang Youzhen was reluctant in every possible way. After all, no one wanted to serve in the North China Front Army, let alone deal with the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi.

Although there is a phenomenon that the devil commanders look down on each other, for the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi, especially the name Zhang Wei has appeared in their ears and engraved in their heads several times. Only Lengtouqing would despise this army that has proven itself several times.

"Master, what should we do?"

Tsukie Yuma's face was full of confusion, and he waited for Okamura Neiji's order in the confidential room. When his adjutant asked, Tsukie Yuma didn't know what he should do.

In fact, it is not only Yue Jiangyou who really does not want to fight Zhang Wei's special column, nor does the troops under the 41st Division want to fight the Eighth Route Army. If the upper limit of the Jinsui Army is 80 points, the lower limit is 40 points, and their average score is 60 points, The devil's average score is 75 points, and the worst deal with the Jinsui army is a tie.

But to deal with the Eighth Route Army, the upper limit is Zhang Wei's troops, which can reach 95 points, and the lower limit is unknown local regiments or county brigades. If the conditions are particularly poor and very difficult, then this lower limit can pull down 15 points look.

So the devils are very clear about what kind of opponent they are facing and what kind of situation they will encounter. For this group of devils, they are not afraid of death, they are just afraid that death is worthless, especially for them It seems to be an invincible opponent.

Neji Okamura was actually very entangled. If Guangling County fell, Guangfa County would naturally needless to say. If these two counties are gone, the base of the Eighth Route Army will expand again. If this continues, they will have nothing to do in northern Shanxi. gain a foothold.

The attack on the Shanxi region has already cost them a lot. If they are driven out of the northern Shanxi region, if they want to come back, it will be very difficult. Similarly, they do not want to give up the rich coal mines and other resources in the Shanxi region. One of the basic plates of the North China Front Army.

And what Zhang Wei is doing now is to smash the devil's plate, flip the table, I will stop playing, and you will come and beat me if you have the guts, it's exactly like this.

Okamura Ningji frowned: "This is definitely not his idea, and now is definitely not a good opportunity to start a big war again, so this is completely a spontaneous behavior of this army, and it is very likely that the superior has not been consulted, I judge This is very likely to be the special column of the Eighth Route Army, which was reorganized from the independent regiment as its predecessor."

"General, then the Japanese Gendarmerie and Locust Alliance troops stationed there cannot be their opponents, and if the 41st Division goes to help, it will be useless. What should we do?"

"General, the No.11 Division that was transferred from the Kwantung Army has already arrived at Zhangjiakou. If you want to go to Datong, it will take two days if it goes well."

Okamura Ningji knew in his heart that if the special column took action, the county would not be able to last even a day, let alone wait for the support of the Kwantung Army troops.

"Order the city defenders to evacuate immediately, destroy the materials in the city before evacuating, order the 41st Division and the Second and Seventh Mixed Brigades of the Imperial Association Army to adjust their defensive deployment, and be careful to guard against the attacks of the Eighth Route Army. At the same time, tell them that the No.11 Division will Arrive in Datong within three days and ask them to assist the [-]th Division in defense."

"Hay!"

When Yuejiang Youzhen received the telegram, he immediately let go of his hanging heart, and hurriedly ordered: "Order the Guangling Gendarmerie to immediately destroy the supplies in the city and evacuate immediately!"

The adjutant picked up the phone, tried a few times, but put it down helplessly: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the phone line has been cut off, and we cannot contact the defenders."

At this time, the cadres who watched the battle of the special column couldn't help being shocked, and each of them stared at the battlefield with a telescope.

They had never seen such an attack. The soldiers of the Special First Regiment had all experienced the training of three-three infantry tactics.

It only took an hour for the outer positions of Guangling County to be completely occupied.

The bullets of the light and heavy machine guns did not seem to be their own, so they greeted them vigorously, and even some cadres watched helplessly as these people smashed several imitation Czech light machine guns.

Although I don't want to admit it, although these machine gun shooters consume a lot of bullets, the effect achieved is very obvious.

The Japanese guarding the city desperately consumed their few mortar shells, and the light and heavy machine guns desperately pulled the triggers to suppress them, which only brought relative casualties to the attacking troops.

The loss of the troops was not large, and the battle line had been pushed forward by nearly 500 meters, leaving only the last 300 meters away from the city wall.

At this time, the mortar companies that had been silent for a long time fired one after another, and the artillery fire suppressed the Japanese defenders on the city wall and the small number of Japanese mortar gunners in the city.

Zhuang Yan rushed forward with a few soldiers, and under the cover of artillery fire, he used iron fists to blow open the gate of Guangling County with two direct shots.

However, this is not over yet. After they evacuated, the second round of artillery cover began again.

Light and heavy machine guns in the distance, accurate shooters at medium distances, and mortar cover from time to time made it completely impossible for the Japanese devils to organize and fight back effectively.

The large army was advancing steadily. The demolitionists, carrying explosives, rushed towards the temporary debris blocking the city gate. There were sandbags, plaster, and even a lot of furniture, all of which were violently It shattered into pieces amidst the explosion.

After clearing the way for the troops to advance, the soldiers did not rush forward in a swarm. For such a breakthrough, the Japanese army only needed three heavy machine guns to seal the city gate tightly.

The troops came to both sides of the city wall, guarding against the top-down grenade on the one hand, and drew out the iron fists prepared in advance on the other side. First, they demolished the Japanese army positions not far away with two shots, and then moved towards the Japanese army that was moving. The troops came with two destructive iron fists.

The devil's defense collapsed in an instant. It seemed that the attacking troops were not at ease. The last round of artillery cover from Wang Chengzhu's mortar company helped them completely occupy the city wall, and then the soldiers turned to street fighting, which was no longer theirs. The content that can be observed, unless you also participate in it, but for everyone so stupid who comes to observe, the casualty rate in street fighting is not generally high, and they may be sniped by the enemy anytime, anywhere.

Leader A couldn't help but sighed with emotion: "Head Zhang, I have never fought such a battle for wealth in eight lifetimes!"

Head B patted him on the shoulder: "Don't say that you haven't fought, even when the devils attacked Taiyuan, they didn't have such a show. It was just to blow up those devils who didn't want to show their heads. I saw their attack The army threw out at least thirteen grenades! Damn it, just to eliminate those few hidden devils."

Zhang Wei smiled: "The cowhide is not blown, the train is not pushed, the success and combat effectiveness of the special column is completely irreproducible, everyone must be very clear about this now. There is no way for brothers to replicate this style of play, And even if we add battlefield seizures and county stockpiles, under normal circumstances, our ammunition and weapon supplies are far from keeping up with our consumption, so we can only fight this kind of high-intensity but short-term battle."

"Head Zhang, what I'm more interested in is how do you train so many sharpshooters?"

"It's still bullets. In the beginning, I was just a platoon leader. I took them to find the gun towers and strongholds by myself. Later, when I took down Luochang County, I had the opportunity to help them train. That was also the prototype of my army. "

Speaking of this, Zhang Wei was startled, smiled bitterly, and then added: "There are only three of that unit left now, and they are all serving as sub-captains in the Black Tiger Special Forces Brigade, which is equivalent to the squad leader. Xizi's situation is relatively In particular, he has been a soldier for more than ten years, and he is a sharpshooter himself, so he is often responsible for the training of recruits. I am not responsible for the training tasks of our army. I just give them training tasks. The ones I brought out at the beginning Soldiers themselves can lead recruits.”

"Speaking of which, Commander Zhang, I remember that when you were still an independent regiment, you were running an officer training school and a medical training school. Is there such a thing?"

Zhang Wei nodded: "The training is still going on, but now the frequency is not as good as before. There was half a year of respite before, so the army developed very rapidly. It was only in the three counties before, and the devils didn't care so much about us. The Chu Yunfei Department of the Sui Army is still stationed in the Dagushan area, helping us attract the firepower of a brigade, so we haven't seen him for half a year!"

"Head Zhang, I understand. After I go back, I will concentrate resources on cultivating some talents first, and then continue to develop on this basis."

"Actually, this is the same as the backbone we have, but we have never thought about training these backbones into all-round officers, but only let them be a squad leader in charge of grassroots command, and we didn't think about letting them do anything else. As for the matter, the training of our regiment is also arranged by me to be completed by each battalion company, and the effect is definitely not as good as if I did it myself."

Head C also nodded: "Yeah, I also figured it out, the special column is full of talents, not to mention Zhao Hualong who developed all kinds of landmine warfare before, just say that these sharpshooters cannot be cultivated overnight. There is no shortcut to increase, comrades, Captain Zhang, I have carefully studied the training outline you submitted to the headquarters before, but I have not been able to understand the so-called spirit of bright sword."

"Yeah, if you want to say that you are afraid of death, we have been here for so many years. To be honest, life and death have long been underestimated. None of the soldiers under him is a coward, but I think that the spirit of bright sword is not afraid of death. If you are not afraid of death, you are also afraid of death." The spirit of bright sword will not be listed as a separate item."

Zhang Wei explained: "The spirit of bright sword is what I learned from my old chief, Li Yunlong."

He once said to me: "When the ancient swordsmen met their opponents, no matter how powerful the opponent was, even if the opponent was the best swordsman in the world, they would show their swords even if they were defeated. Under the sword, even defeat is glorious, which is the spirit of bright sword."

Zhang Wei went on to add: "This is just the most simple interpretation of the spirit of bright swords. After more than two years of leading the army, I found that it has been proved that troops with fine traditions often have the soil to cultivate heroes, heroes or excellent soldiers. Appeared, Wangwang appeared in a collective form. The cavalry company of our special column is not the cavalry company of the past. In the past, Sun Desheng led the cavalry company to cover the transfer of the comrades of the Northern Bureau and the transfer of the division. The siege, at the cost of all sacrifices, completed the mission."

"This is a character, a temperament, and a tradition. It is determined by those of us who lead the army. We can inject soul into this army, no matter whether the commander is changed or the organization of the army is changed. You will find that the troops who go out from the independent regiment will have such a soul. This is the soul of the army, and it is exactly what I call the sword spirit. Even if the enemy is outnumbered and the gods are surrounded, we dare to shine the sword and fight To the last person, in a word, the brave wins when we meet on a narrow road, and the spirit of bright sword is the soul of our army, and it is the soul of the Chinese army that I expect. The sword points and is invincible!"

Zhang Wei's words echoed in their minds and hearts, and these "students" were savoring the meaning of Zhang Wei's words.

"The spirit of bright sword, so this is the spirit of bright sword. I understand that although we are not afraid of sacrifice and are brave to fight, we also subconsciously evaluate the strength gap with our opponents and like to pick weak persimmons."

"I understand what you said. Look at the independent regiment. When Li Yunlong was in the Xinyi regiment, he defeated the Bantian Alliance head-on and killed the captain of the Bantian Alliance. The gap in strength is really big. At that time One of our brigades was surrounded and was in danger. The headquarters ordered to break through from the weak point of the encirclement. Warriors, we may be far behind."

Everyone was still feeling emotional, Lao Pao ran all the way to Zhang Wei: "Report! Commander, the battle in the city is basically over, and a group of remnants of the enemy are moving towards our encirclement."

"Got it, let's go!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Wei turned to look at the "students": "The battle is over, let's go, let's go see how they are doing in the street fighting."
