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

Chapter 238 The battle situation is anxious, where is Zhang Weiren?
"It's not impossible. They can choose a safer route. For example, if they transfer directly from Datong, although it is at least [-] kilometers away, it is indeed much safer."

"Then if the devils want to fish, they must always release the bait. Maybe the devils are already gathering all the troops stationed in Mongolia. After they notice the main force of our activities in northern Shanxi, they might want to encircle and suppress them in an all-round way."

"It's not without the possibility you mentioned, but the devil probably wouldn't have thought that we would dare to go to the northern Shanxi area to attack the transport team, right?"

"The place where the devils should focus on guarding should be the road to the frontline troops after transit. After all, the northwest of Shanxi is our territory, and the experience in fighting behind the enemy is also very rich. Under normal circumstances, the devils will not consider Jin, where there are not many active troops. Northern-Manchurian-Mongolian region."

"It's also possible that the devil deliberately lured our judgment, but where did the devil's news channel come from?"

After everyone finished speaking, they turned to look at Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei himself couldn't tell what the devil was up to, but if he made a wrong judgment and something went wrong, the consequences would be serious.

"System, buy information about transportation routes from Zhangjiakou area to Guangling County and Guangfa County!"

"Ding! The host payment is complete."

"The current intelligence content is as follows: Three days later, the first batch of Japanese transport squadrons and a puppet army company will depart from Zhangjiakou, pass through Yangyuan County, and head to Guangfa County.

Five days later, the second batch of transport brigade of Japanese troops and a puppet company will depart from Zhangjiakou, pass through Yangyuan County, and head to Guangling County.

Please refer to the host for the specific marching route! "

Zhang Wei carefully read the information provided by the system and got a general idea of ​​the Japanese army's marching route.

A squadron plus a brigade of transportation troops can at most provide the amount of supplies for a wing attack. No wonder the value of intelligence is relatively less.

However, these materials are still a mouthful of fat for the special column at this stage. Whether to eat or not, Zhang Wei has some entanglements.

Although these supplies have had a great impact on the battle situation, they can also greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the special column. Similarly, if Zhang Wei takes the risk of leading a team to ambush the supplies that are transported to Datong in Baotou area, it will probably make it difficult for the Japanese troops on the front line to supply supplies. , unable to attack, can only retreat.

However, the price and risk of doing so are very high. Zhang Wei and others will face a comprehensive encirclement and suppression by the cavalry troops of the Manchurian and Mongolian Garrison, the 41st Ten-day Division, the 26th Division, and the [-]th Division of the Zhangjiakou Station.

The strength of the troops is about ten to one. It can be said that even if Zhang Wei and others have wings, it is difficult to escape.

This is completely poking a hornet's nest, and Zhang Wei will not do this.

"No matter which way the devils take to transport supplies to Guangling or Guangfa County, they always have to go through Yangyuan County Earth, where a puppet army mixed brigade and a garrison squadron are stationed."

"It's far away from our base area, and the public security situation is relatively good, so it's impossible for the devils to send them directly in the mountains. Tomorrow we will go to the Yangyuan County area."

"Yes!"

On the side of the Jinsui Army, Chu Yunfei and the devils had a hot fight, and the two sides even had an artillery battle.

On the side of the Eighth Route Army, the marching speed of the Eleventh Division has changed from slow at the beginning to fast. Several small-scale ambushes have been carried out. Although the losses of the devils are not large, the attack speed has slowed down significantly.

They are also worried about the ambush of the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and the ambush encountered by the [-]th Division has a characteristic.

This group of ambush troops only fired a salvo, and then quickly left the battlefield, leaving the battlefield without getting too entangled with them at all.

At the headquarters of the Chongteng Detachment, Shigeto Chiaki frowned and took the report in his hand: "Have you already killed more than 200 soldiers of the Imperial Army? This group of Eighth Route Army is really not easy."

"General, the marching speed of the troops has obviously slowed down a lot, and we have not found any traces of civilians along the way, and we have no other intelligence channels."

The adjutant pondered for a moment, and then said: "General, most of the soldiers lost so far are soldiers from the engineering brigade. I am a little worried about whether it will affect our follow-up demining work."

Shigeto Chiaki frowned and said coldly: "Report to the division commander, continue the attack according to the original plan!"

"Hay!"

"The more anxious these Chinese people are, the more it means that there is no problem with our attack direction. They are grasshoppers after autumn, and they won't be jumping for long!"

At this time, Shan Baozong Wu and Zhongteng Qianqiu had the same idea. The greater the resistance, the closer the distance to success.

Ever since, he immediately ordered the Chongteng detachment to speed up and reach the established combat deployment position.

At the same time, Ping Xiaotai, the captain of the 43rd Regiment, led his subordinates reluctantly to the Niangziguan area. The order he received was to start attacking Niangziguan early tomorrow morning, but for him, it was a good idea. The head of the division promised air support, which made his offensive pressure a lot less.

Otherwise, you really can only chew hard.

Tonight, all the combat deployments of the Eighth Route Army are in place.

The devil's attack was also carried out according to the established plan, and this offensive and defensive battle, which was enough to be recorded in the annals of the War of Resistance, officially kicked off.

This battle made all forces, even the Soviet Union, Britain, and the United States, focus their attention on this distant eastern battlefield, even though it was just a small-scale battle for them.

But on the eastern battlefield, it can be regarded as a rare battle.

The heads of the headquarters stayed up all night and won the battle. If the devils were not stupid, they would naturally evacuate from the Shanxi area, and then leave them to fight with the Central Army of the Jinsui Army.

The chief of staff came to the boss: "Boss, go to sleep, I'll just keep an eye on it, I'll call you if there's anything important!"

"No need, what are Zhang Wei and the others doing now?"

"According to the computer sent by Xing Zhiguo this morning, the commanders of the puppet army, Hu Sai, Zhang Wei, and others judged that the puppet army found clues and even began to doubt Hu Sai's identity, so they decided to evacuate Guangfa County."

"Evacuate Guangfa County? Where did they go? Didn't they know that the 41st Division had already started to suppress Lingqiu County?"

The chief of staff frowned: "They didn't say this, and they have lost contact with them now!"

"This Zhang Wei! He disappeared again at the critical moment. I knew to notify him in advance, but now even I, the boss, don't know what he is going to do!"

At the same time, Zhang Wei and his entourage have already started to set off to ambush on the only way to transport Zhangjiakou devils.

Under normal circumstances, the time to arrive in Yangyuan County is 2-3 days, so the devils divided the transportation time to prevent information leakage and ambushes.

A transport squadron was dispatched first, followed by a transport brigade.

Even if there are enemy guerrillas, if the transport squadron passes by, they will most likely launch an attack.

In this way, there is no need to continue to send transport brigades.

Of course, this will still take some risks, but the route from Baotou to Datong is almost absolutely safe, and their route is just icing on the cake.

After marching for a whole day, the Japanese reconnaissance planes flew overhead and failed to see the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

We arrived at the selected ambush site, which is more than 60 miles away from the county seat. It happens that a large number of mountains can hide a large number of troops.

Similarly, this is why Zhang Wei chose this place as the ambush location.

According to the information provided by the system, the devil's only way is here.

Turning around, five days passed, and after three days and three nights of bloody battle, the Chu Yunfei Department of the 358th Brigade of the Jinsui Army had no choice but to give up their position.

At the same time, in the Niangziguan area, the No. 40 Third Regiment of the Japanese Army, with the cooperation of aircraft, attacked for three consecutive days, but fell helplessly. The No. 43 Regiment drove straight into the hinterland of the base without stopping.

The headquarters ordered decisively, and the troops began to disrupt their organization and plunge into the vast mountains.

The Taihang base area is already connected. Although the devils have come in, they have not achieved very good combat results.

Under the onslaught of the Sixth Division, the chief also changed his combat strategy, because if he continued to hold on, he would inevitably be attacked by the enemy, so he immediately gave up the established combat area and moved to the vast mountains.

The original positional warfare has become guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare.

Subsequently, the devils reoccupied Yangquan County, but the surrounding areas were still under the control of the Eighth Route Army.

The devil really can only care about the county seat now, and the other places are not reasonably controlled by him.

Although Neiji Okamura is very satisfied with the current progress of the battle, the casualties are indeed too many. After more than half a month of fighting, the troops of the two regiments were directly killed or injured.

That is to say, the result is not bad, otherwise I really don't know how to explain it.

"When was the last communication from Yamamoto-kun?"

"General, it was two days ago that they discovered the location of the enemy's headquarters. They also detected the suspected location of the enemy's arsenal, which is in the Xiaowangzhuang area!"

"What does the aviation say?"

"The reconnaissance is still being stepped up, and only some residential areas have been discovered so far."

Neiji Okamura listened thoughtfully, then stood up and said, "Order them to attack the residential areas directly, and pay close attention to the movements of the Eighth Route Army. The Sixth Division has begun to attack Luochang County!"

"Hay!"

If it is said that the division commander is under a lot of pressure, and even has to hold back the advance of nearly fifteen thousand Japanese puppet troops, then the frontal battlefield will be even more terrifying.

Although the [-]th Division suffered a lot of losses, it was only a fraction of a second in terms of their force base.

Even if an entire infantry regiment is wiped out, they still have the strength of three infantry regiments or more.

Xinyituan's eyes were already bloodshot. The soldiers had ferocious faces and roared furiously. Watching them even made people feel like they were going to swallow the little devil alive.

Without him, Ding Wei, a commander who doesn't like to go to the front line in person, at this time their headquarters is behind them.

The military chiefs are all on the front line, they will be the courage of the soldiers, and the soldiers have no reason not to go all out.

This is the devil's sixth charge today, and it is also the sixth counter-charge of the soldiers of the new regiment.

The big knife just cut straight at the devil's head, the head rolled, and the knife fell with his hand.

Similarly, many soldiers died tragically under the Japanese bayonets either because of Japanese sneak attacks or due to poor stabbing skills.

The entire position is like a huge meat grinder, and the lives of soldiers and devils are constantly disappearing.

These devils also couldn't figure out where the eighth route army had such a strong will to fight. The heavy artillery regiment had already been deployed, and the three-day offensive ammunition had already been exhausted, and the logistics supplies had not yet arrived.

The Eighth Route Army's position has long been fragmented, but even so, they were not able to advance five kilometers forward.

Ding Wei's new regiment suffered a lot of casualties. In the past three days, the casualties from shelling alone were estimated to be 800 people. Up to now, his reinforced regiment has only about 1000 people left, which is different from before the expansion of the army. Not much.

Similarly, the brother troops are also very uncomfortable. The situation of the 772 regiment is relatively the best now, with more than 3000 people left. As for Kong Jie’s new second regiment, there is only one battalion left now, let Li Yunlong transfer Went to the rear for trimming.

In the headquarters, Li Yunlong frowned, and Zhao Gang was not in a good mood at all. This was all fighting against the foundation of the Northwest Shanxi Army, and everyone was good.

But the same eleventh division is also an elite unit, not to mention that the strength of the two sides is almost the same, and the Japanese army has the advantage of heavy artillery and aircraft.

At the beginning, the artillery regiment of the Eighth Route Army was able to provide good fire support. Later, after the deployment of the Japanese heavy artillery wing, the artillery regiment had to be deployed in a dispersed manner to avoid being wiped out by the enemy artillery.

At the same time, one of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment and the anti-aircraft artillery battalion was deployed in the Yangquan County area before, and the other was deployed at the front.

This is a very bold way of using it, and it is exactly the decision Li Yunlong made against all opinions.

Relatively speaking, the effect is much better. The dive bombing of the Japanese army has been significantly reduced, but after these days, the number of anti-aircraft guns has dropped sharply to only the last quarter.

It was completely used as a direct-firing artillery on the position, and almost all methods were tried, but even this almost failed to withstand the Japanese attack.

"Old Zhao, what do you think Zhang Wei is doing? Why doesn't he attack the Japanese army's logistics supply line? If the fight continues like this, I'm worried that the troops won't be able to last for three days!"

"It's really hard to say, this time Zhang Wei's troops are indeed moving much slower, and they can't be contacted now, just because they are in trouble. You know, the 41st Division went directly to Lingqiu County to encircle and suppress them. "

"Damn, I have to tell the boss about these bastards, we can't continue fighting like this, the troops will definitely be wiped out!"

"Old Li! Think about it, if we can't stand it, what will happen to the people in the base area? What about the food? Zhang Wei is supposed to get rid of the pursuit of the 41st Division, but the Japanese army has already broken through our defense line and destroyed our base area. , then what's the point of him cutting off the shipping insurance?"

"No! Damn, this battle can no longer be fought like this. Let the 772 Regiment and the Xinyi Regiment withdraw, switch to mobile warfare, and retreat to the outskirts of Lingyang County. Order the troops, deploy them in stages, and block them layer by layer. Slow down the attack speed of the Japanese army!"
