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

Chapter 226 The Kwantung Army strikes, Xie Guiyang decides to die.

A group of people embarked on the road back to the base.

"Injuring 27 people and sacrificing 49 people, we wiped out the remnants of the enemy in the city. This is the most difficult close-range street fighting, and they actually fought so well."

"Yeah, facing the devils, we all made a profit by keeping the battle loss ratio at 2:1, which made the special column have a loss ratio of 1:3."

"Tuan Zhang said that there is no good training method for street fighting. It can only rely on experience and training. When they were stationed in Yangcun, they trained in close-range combat. This subject has continued until now."

"Old Hu, I plan to go back tomorrow. Let's be honest here. There is nothing else we can learn. Head Zhang also admitted frankly that he has nothing to teach us."

"Yes, yes, hey, after I go back, I will also concentrate resources to form a small commando."

"How much organization are you going to have? To be honest, I don't think Zhang Wei's small commando model can be successful in other units."

"The establishment of the special column at the headquarters is also to explore whether this combat mode can be further promoted, otherwise Zhang Wei would not be the person in charge of the special column now, but no one has his ability."

Standing beside Zhang Wei at this time are Shi Dafan and Zhang Dabiao. Chengcai led the team to investigate the ambush situation of the third battalion and other troops. There has been no news for so long, and the soldiers of the Black Tiger Special Forces Brigade are also idle. , simply run again, right as an endurance training.

"Commander, although the weapons we seized this time are not many, there are also three mortars, six Type [-] heavy machine guns, and most importantly, two large warehouses full of grain and canned food!"

Zhang Dabiao smiled: "These little devils are afraid that we will attack their transport teams, so they store food in various counties. It is no wonder that the puppet army in Guangfa County can give so much before. This time we have made a fortune. So The amount of food is enough for us to eat for at least half a month."

"For medicine, there are at least three carriages."

Zhang Wei nodded: "With a car left, many soldiers were injured, so there is no need to send them to the field hospital for such minor injuries.

We also need to use it here, and we can handle it ourselves.

Send the rest over first, since they are short of medicine, sooner rather than later.

"Yes, head, I will send it to the old dean overnight tonight."

Just after Zhang Wei finished speaking, there was a sound of horseshoes behind him. Everyone followed the sound, and they seemed to be the cavalry correspondent of the regiment headquarters, and they seemed rather anxious.

"Stop and see what's going on!"

"Urgent order! Urgent order! Head, head!"

Zhang Wei hurriedly shouted: "I am here"

The communication squad leader galloped over on horseback, dismounted and saluted: "Regimental Commander, Laiyuan County was attacked by the enemy. The headquarters ordered us to support it quickly. It is said that the attacking Japanese Kwantung Army troops. The political commissar asked me to come and tell you that he has already thrown Li Da. The ability and the support of the county brigade have passed, I hope you can be faster."

"Kwantung Army? What is the Kwantung Army? When did they go south? Can you determine the number of the enemy's troops?"

"It's the news from the headquarters. It's absolutely true. The vanguard troops appeared in Laiyuan County that afternoon. The district team wanted to set up an ambush, but only two of the dead escaped. Commander Xie's troops had already fought with the devils and the others. It's on fire."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dabiao hurriedly suggested: "Leader, we have to move faster, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on!"

Zhang Wei waved his hand: "Da Biao, don't worry, I know you have fought against the Devil's Kwantung Army before. They really shouldn't be underestimated. Xie Guiyang's troops will not be less than 2000, and they can still last tonight." Stay, go, go back first! Duan Peng, go, tell the cavalry company, find out the situation and report to me!"

"Yes!"

"All of them, full speed ahead!"

"Yes!"

Shi Dafan frowned: "Commander, we have just finished the battle and am still short of ammunition. If it is really the Kwantung Army that attacked Laiyuan, we might be powerless."

"If it is really a Kwantung Army unit, the headquarters will be more anxious than us. This is not a joke. A single division of the Sixth Division can contain [-] to [-] of our troops. The Kwantung Army's battle order is even the worst. Three-quarters of the combat power of the Sixth Division, we have just experienced a big battle, and the strength of the troops has been severely damaged, maybe this time, the situation in our base area will be even worse!"

"His grandma, these gangsters are doing their best. We won't give us a chance to breathe. So far, the base area has not started spring plowing, and they launched an attack again. For this reason, they even dispatched the Kwantung Army to go south!"

Zhang Wei waved his hand: "Now is not the time to say this, go back first, find out the situation, and don't rush in. If we get into the devil's pocket array, our current strength is not enough for the devil!"

He judged rightly, the headquarters is now more anxious, and no one can handle this kind of thing well. Originally, they received a report that the Kwantung Army was mobilized to go south to encircle and suppress Tang Enbo's troops, and the troops had already taken precautions.

The headquarters is clear about the removal of a division to go north to sweep, but the Kwantung Army who transferred another division to the south is also to deal with their Eighth Route Army. This is a bit overestimating their strength, right?

"Our current strength can't stop the No.11 Division's attack. In my opinion, let Xie Guiyang's troops move to the mountains, and give Zhang Wei an order to adapt to the situation. At the same time, order the four counties in northern Shanxi to advance Mobilization and transfer."

"If we are still going head-to-head with the devils now, we may really be unable to hold on. The comrades in the arsenal have been on shifts for two months, and some cadres have collapsed from exhaustion. If this continues, we may really be unable to hold on. "

"Xing Zhiguo also sent a telegram last night saying that they are teaching in actual combat, and the target is the Japanese puppet army in Guangling County. I didn't expect such a change to happen in just one day. You also know Zhang Wei's combat style. I It is estimated that most of them don't have much ammunition supplies now, so we have to send them there as soon as possible."

"Boss, but with the current strength of the special column, they can't pay for a division of the Devils. What's more, the 150th Division has a heavy artillery unit, which uses [-]mm heavy artillery. In Lingqiu County, Zhang Wei is completely If you don’t have time to build the anti-slope fortifications, if you rely solely on the anti-blasting holes, the effect will be nothing.”

The boss turned his head to look at one of his old partners, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have to make a trip, and take the special second group, the new first group, and the new second group with you."

After speaking, the boss added: "No, it's not safe. The 41st Division will probably cooperate with their actions and bring the cavalry regiment with them."

The old chief's face was solemn: "Boss, the new first regiment and the new second regiment are now incompletely organized, and their combat effectiveness has dropped a lot. The two regiments combined are at best the level of the previous regiment, let alone the special second regiment, which encircled and wiped out the fourth mixed brigade. At the time of the battle, the casualties were close to one-third, if we want to repel the [-]th Division in this battle, we will be under a lot of pressure!"

"Abandon the defense of the four counties in northern Shanxi, quickly organize the local garrison to transfer the people into the mountains, lengthen the devil's supply line, order Zhang Wei to support Xie Guiyang's department, and help him get rid of the devil's entanglement. The original order remains the same, and one is added. Adaptive."

"Yes!"

"The devils were forced by us to improvise a set of combo punches, and let these bastard little devils seize this moment. No matter what, we must give them a ruthless blow, otherwise the gang The little devils of Gou Ri dare to provoke us."

"Yes!"

The general combat idea of ​​the headquarters is to lure the enemy into deep, retreat to the northern mountainous area of ​​Lingqiu County after Zhang Wei supports, wait for an opportunity to detour and cut off the supply line of the No.11 Division, relying on the four regiments in the northern Shanxi area, plus the latest subordinate 3 infantry regiments + artillery regiments and cavalry regiments are still very reluctant to deal with the [-]th Division of the Kwantung Army.

But the current situation is like this, and the headquarters has no soldiers to lose. Although the combat effectiveness of the Sixth Division and the Ninth Mixed Brigade has dropped a lot, it is not enough for any main regiment to deal with it.

The main force of the 129th Division in the southern Shanxi area cannot be mobilized, so the only thing left is to mobilize the troops of the mobile corps. The old troops in the northwestern Shanxi area are about to be wiped out. The original four new regiments are still being reorganized and trained. , There is not much combat power at all.

It can be said that Northwest Shanxi is now facing a more difficult situation than before.

On the way Zhang Wei rushed back to the station, the other regiment leaders also learned about the situation, and before they had time to say goodbye to Zhang Wei, they hurriedly prepared to return to their respective teams.

The war is imminent, and everyone knows the urgency of the matter.

"Reporting to the head, the latest order from the headquarters."

Zhang Wei frowned and walked to the map: "What does this headquarters mean?"

Zhang Dabiao approached suspiciously: "Leader, what is the latest order from the headquarters?"

After receiving the telegram in Zhang Wei's hand, Zhang Dabiao touched his head: "This? Let's help them evacuate and then we evacuate? Isn't that right? We can't stay where we are without other orders, right? Damn it Isn't it courting death?"

Zhang Wei ignored it, and Shi Dafan and the others also took the telegram, stood behind Zhang Wei, and stared at the topographic map near Lingqiu County.

"The mountainous area in the northern part of Lingqiu County is only [-] kilometers deep, and there is no way to hide many troops. The devils now attach great importance to our attacking the supply line from behind. It is not so easy. The mobilization of troops is not a day or two. A detailed deployment has been made, and we must be careful."

However, in fact, the devil himself was also in a daze. Just after entering the northwestern border of Shanxi, the troop train was attacked by a small group of troops. He thought it was going to blow up the railway tracks and stop their marching speed.

I never thought that this army of only 50 people would dare to ambush them, and a group of devils in the vanguard immediately launched a counterattack against this small army.

This crouching dragon and phoenix-like district team leader bravely prevented the gang of devils from chasing him further, for fear that this would be a bait to attract them to continue deeper.

No one could have imagined that whether it was the Japanese Army or the Eighth Route Army, this small battle that could be ignored would actually cause such a big chain reaction.

Okamura Ningji was stunned when he received the news. The original plan was to further join the 41st Division after arriving in Datong, and gradually erode and compress the living space of the Northwest Shanxi base.

Why did the eleventh division start working with others just after they arrived in Shanxi?
Adjutant Xiao Chuan asked with a puzzled expression, "General, is this your order?"

Neiji Okamura shook his head: "I don't have the authority to directly command the Kwantung Army, it may be the deployment of General Hata Toshi-six."

"Report! General, the headquarters of the dispatched army called us to ask if we directly passed them and gave the order to the Kwantung Army."

Okamura Ningji raised his eyebrows, what is going on?

Shan Baozong Wu himself was also in a daze, why did his vanguard exchange fire with the defenders of Laiyuan County?
And according to the report, the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi seems to be inferior in combat effectiveness to the "Bandit Army" active in Northeast China?
Shan Baozong Wu immediately ordered the infantry captain to pursue them, and as a result, they exchanged fire with Xie Guiyang's troops stationed in Laiyuan County.

After such a fight, Shan Bao Zongwu decisively ordered other troops to assist in the attack, and the scale of such a dramatic battle was further expanded.

The Eighth Route Army soldiers who were still fighting back and forth with the Devils Brigade had a sudden increase in pressure. Throwing grenade mortars and such things were fine, but within three hours of firing, the Devils' small mountain artillery infantry guns were pulled up.

Since then, in just two hours, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army suffered 400 casualties, and their position was also breached by the Japanese army. The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who retreated came to the second line of defense - Xiaopingliang.

This is because they have the advantages of terrain and pre-positioned positions in advance. If this is a plain area, they may not be able to retreat [-] kilometers directly to the source county.

This is the difference in combat effectiveness between the elite troops of the Japanese army and the "ordinary" Eighth Route Army troops. Moreover, at this time, the Eleventh Division has not yet been transferred, and its organizational system is complete, and its combat effectiveness can be regarded as a small peak.

Xie Guiyang was at the forward command post, and when he heard the news of the defeat of the first battalion, the main force ahead, he frowned: "These devils are not ordinary devils, and the visitors are not kind, so I ordered them to blow up the bridges along the way, abandon the existing positions, and rely on the advantage The terrain and the devils are circling, delaying time, when will our support arrive?"

"Regimental Commander, the special column has combat missions. The troops they stay in the station plus the county brigade and district squad are only 500 people. Even if they are added, the difference in combat effectiveness is really too big."

"How is the transfer of people in the county going?"

Commissar Liu sighed: "The progress is slow, and the last order we received: buy time for the transfer of the people."

Xie Guiyang nodded: "Then let's do it! I will leave the job of Lao Liu's transfer to you, and I will go to the front line."

While talking, he strode out.

"You..." Commissar Liu looked at his partner's firm eyes, and swallowed all the words he wanted to say, but what he thought in his heart was: "Maybe things will turn around."
