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

Chapter 253

The Ninth Mixed Brigade has assembled.

Fagui Dacheng himself also knew that this operation was likely to provoke retaliatory actions from the special column.

Therefore, he suggested that Okamura Ningji strengthen his strength before the battle, so Okamura Ningji temporarily transferred two infantry brigades and one field artillery brigade from the Taiyuan area.

Together with the original Ninth Mixed Brigade, this Fagui detachment was formed.

Responsible for the siege of the Baochuan Department of the Jinsui Army, and at the same time increase its own defense forces to prevent attacks by special columns.

"General, the troops have been assembled, and the aviation unit is in place, ready to take off to support at any time."

Following Fagui Dacheng's order, the Fagui detachment will set off, if the battle goes well.

It only takes half a day at most to break through Bao Chuanbu's defense line.

In fact, he somewhat overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Jinsui Army.

The regiment-level force commanded by Bao Chuan was originally a local security regiment with more than 1000 people.

It has three infantry battalions, one cavalry company and one small artillery company.

Equipped with various weapons, Hanyang made, Zhongguan, Infield and so on.

There are all kinds of weapons, and the quality of soldiers is also very worrying.

The Jinsui Army put Bao Chuan here for fear of friction with the Eighth Route Army.

Yan Laoxi and others couldn't figure out the attitude of the Eighth Route Army, but the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army was obvious to all.

163 regiment, regiment headquarters.

Bao Chuan frowned tightly and sighed uncontrollably,
The staff officer beside him couldn't help persuading: "Tuan Zuo, let's withdraw! Commander Yan can even give up his confidant, the 358th Brigade. Will the support promised to us really come?"

Actually, what Yan Xishan did to Chu Yunfei.

Not only Chu Yunfei himself was chilled, but even the surrounding local troops were also chilled.

Chu Yunfei is not only from Shanxi, but also from Yan Xishan's hometown.

Not to mention that a second-rate army like him is not even a team with just a small number of people.

"Tuan Zuo, can Commander Sun save us? Where is Commander Yan's reinforcements?"

Seeing that Bao Chuan was frowning and unwilling to speak, the chief of staff was even more angry: "Tuan Zuo, if we don't withdraw, we will really be eaten by devils!"

"How to withdraw? Chief Yan's order to us is to stand firm and wait for help!"

"Tuan Zuo, there are at least 5000 devils on the opposite side, and there are planes and cannons covering them. What should we use to fight? We only have two small cannons in total, and they were all destroyed by the plane!"

Bao Chuan paced back and forth in the headquarters, so he didn't understand the truth.

He also understands the reason why leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade, disobeying Yan Laoxi's order will not have good results for him.

"You son of a bitch! Run, run, run! From the Great Wall to the present, it took your mother three or four years to run, and you still have to run!"

Bao Chuan didn't want to withdraw, and wanted to fight hard with his mother's devils, but he knew all the virtues of his subordinates.

Fighting the puppet army is okay, but fighting the devils is not enough for the devils.

"Tuan Zuo! Don't be overthinking it, there are still green hills left, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood!"

Bao Chuan frowned tightly, and he also knew that there should be no more hesitation now.

Only the territory of the Eighth Route Army was left to retreat, and Bao Chuan was not an idiot, so he naturally noticed some problems.

If the information is correct, it is the area of ​​the special column, Zhang Wei's territory.

Zhang Wei is known to everyone in Shanxi and even the whole country. The reputation of such a general has even surpassed that of Xue Yue and Zhang Zhizhong.

Although he is only a mid-level and lower-level commander, this record is indeed beyond the reach of an army group.

The special column under him is not only the ace unit of the Eighth Route Army, but it is also theoretically under the command of the second theater.

"Say, what if we retreat to the Eighth Route Army?"

The staff officer was taken aback, before he had time to say anything.

The leader of the guard platoon outside rushed in: "Tuan, retreat quickly, the defense line has been breached by the devils, if we don't withdraw, we will be too late!"

Bao Chuan gritted his teeth fiercely: "Don't worry, order the brothers to retreat to the territory of the Eighth Route Army. Remember, you must not shoot when you encounter the Eighth Route Army!"

"Yes!"

Bao Chuan and the staff officer followed the guard platoon and left the command post, and the remaining regiment staff packed up quickly.

at the same time.

The conscription work of the special column is in full swing.

Zhang Wei has nothing to do today, he is drinking a little wine and eating peanuts, thinking about things.

Duan Peng rushed in in a hurry: "Regimental Commander, the political commissar called you, he really has a lot of conscripts, and he drew two battalions to maintain order!"

Zhang Wei put down the wine bottle in his hand and asked doubtfully, "Two battalions? Are there so many people?"

Then Duan Peng took a sip to moisten his throat.

Duan Peng smiled and took the remaining sweet potato burnt, and drank it down his stomach in one gulp: "Oh, I don't know why, this time at least 5000 people have signed up for the army, this is the first time we have seen this scene !"

Zhang Wei frowned: "Go, order, the first battalion, the second battalion, go to maintain the team."

"Yes!"

Duan Peng and the monk turned around and left, Zhang Wei was not worried about trampling or anything like that.

Instead, I was worried that the enemy agents would mix in and do things. With so many people, if there were any large-scale casualties.

Not to mention the reputation of their special column, even the reputation of the Eighth Route Army will be ruined.

"Jingle Bell!"

"Monk? Monk?"

Well, forgetting that the monk was also sent out by him to maintain order.

He picked up the phone: "Hello? I'm Zhang Wei from the special column. Who are you looking for?"

"Reporting regiment leader, I am Wang Huaibao, commander of the second battalion and third company. According to the latest reconnaissance report, the ninth mixed brigade of the Japanese army launched a fierce attack on the Baochuan Department of the Jinsui Army. Now Baochuan has retreated to our jurisdiction. They are marching towards the hinterland of my base, do you want to provide assistance?"

"Bao Chuanbu? Withdraw to our side?"

Zhang Wei frowned, and ordered: "Whether he is the Jinsui Army or the Central Army, as long as the little devil dares to take a step forward, I will stop them!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Wei hung up the phone, feeling a little confused.

What the hell is this bastard going to do?Where does the strength come from to start a new battle?
The two special operations brigades were not there, and the main force had to maintain order on the scene. This devil really picked a good time.

This conscription work cannot go on, the devils are coming!

Zhang Wei hurried to the entrance of the village, which was already crowded with soldiers and common people.

Fortunately, there is still a simple order. Xing Zhiguo saw Zhang Wei coming and greeted him: "Head, what's the situation?"

"The devils suddenly launched an attack on the Baochuan tribe. Now they have fled to our jurisdiction. The conscription work is suspended. I will give you a company and evacuate the people. I will lead a large army to fight!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers moved very quickly, and the villagers cooperated very well after learning that the devils were coming.

the other side

The situation of Bao Chuan and others is very bad. There were more than 1000 people, but now there are more than 300 left.

While running, the staff officer was also killed by the devil's plane.

The Japanese soldiers of the Ninth Mixed Brigade did not know the combat intention of the above, but just let them break through the defense line of the Baochuan Department.

And drove them to the Eighth Route Army's garrison, but Fagui Dacheng discovered that they seemed to have overestimated the combat level of the Baochuan tribe.

The battle lasted only two hours, and they had already fled across the board, and even a lot of soldiers surrendered.

Although the Jinsui Army was driven to the Eighth Route Army's garrison according to the original plan, the number of this group of Jinsui Army was much smaller than they expected.

It was originally estimated that one thousand would be wiped out, and one thousand would be left. As a result, when Wang Huaibao and the devil's chasing troops exchanged fire, there were only more than 200 people left.

"Comrades, the head of the regiment ordered that the devils never be allowed to move forward. The main force of the regiment will arrive soon!"

"Da da da!"

"Bagou! Bagou!"

Those who can be placed on the periphery are all veterans of the special column, elite troops.

The strength and equipment are naturally not too bad, not to mention that they have already built a defensive position.

The devil's chasing force was out of touch with the main force at this time, that is, the strength of a squadron, probably less than 200 people.

Under the obstruction of Wang Huaibao and others, more than a dozen devils were killed.

Bao Chuan waved his hand: "Quick, brothers, occupy favorable terrain!"

"Yes!"

The Jinsui army was not ambiguous at this time, and took advantage of the favorable terrain to launch a counterattack.

Seeing the situation, most of the chasing Japanese soldiers lay down on the ground and shot each other with the Eighth Route Army soldiers.

If it were other Eighth Route Army troops, they might suffer in this kind of medium and long-distance battle.

But they are special columns.

Basically every soldier is fed by bullets, not a sharpshooter is also a qualified soldier.

This kind of shooting distance of about 200 meters is accurate for devils and the Eighth Route Army.

What's more, they occupy a favorable terrain and have this superior firepower, but it is a pity that the Eighth Route Army only has grenadiers.

There are no heavy weapons such as mortars and heavy machine guns, but Bao Chuan and the others who retreated have them.

Under the urging of Bao Chuan, the last two mortars were urgently erected.
"Quick, let me blow them up, you bastards!"

While cursing angrily, Bao Chuan threw his hat to the ground again and again.

The gunners of the Jinsui Army also lived up to their expectations. Two mortar shells blew up a machine gun position that had just been erected.

When encountering the Eighth Route Army, it is necessary to retreat. This is a deadly order from above.

What's more, given the current situation of casualties, the devils are unwilling to continue to entangle with the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

Seeing the devil run away, Bao Chuan thought it was due to his two shots.

Bao Chuan couldn't help laughing and said: "Good job, I will reward you as a company commander!"

After finishing speaking, Bao Chuan was silent. Damn, a regiment of 800 people, there are only so few people left now.

Even with more than 1000 pigs, the devils didn't catch them so quickly, but this happened just like that.

Contrary to all hot expectations, it is conceivable that if this battle report is placed on the Chongqing side, on the World War II Zone Command, and on the office work of the North China Front Army Command.

How will they react?
The Eighth Route Army fought back and forth with the devils, and even broke the devil's strategic plan.

Although there was no bargain in the end, the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi was also seriously injured.

But the base is still there, and they will come back sooner or later.

Then you, a regiment of the Jinsui Army, was attacked by a brigade, even if it was the Eighth Route Army, it couldn't defend it.

But a new regiment of the Eighth Route Army persisted for a day and a night, and a regiment of 2000 members of the Jinsui Army was completely wiped out without persisting for half a day.

Forget about Yan Laoxi's dull face, this time he has a better understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army.

Wang Huaibao came to the Jinsui army with two personal guards, and came to Bao Chuan under the leadership of the soldiers.

"Wang Huaibao, Commander of the Second Battalion and Third Company of the First Regiment of the Special Column, met Captain Bao."

Bao Chuan smiled embarrassingly: "Header Sister, thank you for your help, without you, perhaps the brothers would die in battle today."

"Head Bao, this way please, the brothers of the Jinsui Army can also follow me into the village to rest, the main force of our regiment will be here soon!"

Upon hearing this, Bao Chuan immediately refused.

Although the relationship within the Jinsui Army is not very good, he is also aware of the fact that the relationship between the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army is very ordinary.

Thank you, thank you, if this honestly followed into the village, it would be good if it was disarmed.

If there is any problem, maybe there is a conflict, then it will be even worse.

Wang Huaibao didn't force it either, and Jin Suijun and others also rested in place.

After being chased all the way by the devils, and fighting for a long time, it is inevitable that I am a little hungry.

Fortunately, the cooking squad carried a cauldron on their backs when they retreated, and Bao Chuan immediately arranged for a squad of soldiers to fetch water and come back to cook.

The soldiers carried a bucket and headed to the river with more than a dozen water jugs hanging on their bodies.

Wang Huaibao is also organizing the soldiers to finish their meal. Of course, more than half of the soldiers are still staring at the fortifications.

On the one hand, guard against possible devils, and on the other hand, beware of Bao Chuan and others to prevent them from getting rid of any moths.

Fagui Dacheng nodded in satisfaction after receiving the latest information.

Although it is somewhat different from the established combat opportunities, it is already like this after all, and it can be regarded as imperfect perfection.

This operation originally required the assistance of the Yamamoto Special Team, but Fagui Dacheng stubbornly believed that he did not need them.

The attack was launched in the absence of follow-up reinforcements and Special Agent Yamamoto.

If the special column really had any conflict with the Jinsui Army and the others, Fagui Dacheng also wanted to take the credit for this time into his arms.

When Zhang Wei arrived with a large force, the battle had already ended.

Wang Huaibao hastily greeted him and explained briefly.

Zhang Wei nodded and greeted him with his troops.

The soldiers of the Jinsui Army had just cooked rice porridge and were about to eat something, when they looked up and saw a large group of soldiers ready to go, standing not far from them.

What's more, in this special column that has been battled for a long time, everyone exudes a vague murderous aura.

It even gave these Jinsui troops the feeling that they were much stronger than devils.

Some soldiers were so frightened that they didn't even dare to eat, and hurriedly got up and stood there stupidly.

Zhang Wei walked over with Duan Peng and Wang Huaibao.

Bao Chuan didn't know that this was Zhang Wei, but judging from the situation, he was at least his superior, and at worst a battalion commander.

Seeing that Zhang Wei didn't salute him first, he immediately understood that this was probably Zhang Wei from the special column.

"Head Zhang! Hello, I'm Bao Chuan!"

Zhang Wei nodded: "Hello, Captain Bao, why did you withdraw to our jurisdiction?"

Bao Chuan scratched his head and explained helplessly: "Commander Zhang, we were attacked by the Devil's Ninth Mixed Brigade. The troops suffered heavy losses under the devil's artillery fire and bombing. We couldn't hold on anymore, so we withdrew. .”

After Bao Chuan finished speaking, he added: "Actually, the order we received was to stick to the ground and wait for reinforcements, but brother, I also know that reinforcements cannot be waited for. I thought that if we just retreated, we could leave some seeds for the 163rd Regiment. .”

"Who knew, when we retreated, there were 900 people, and they were chased by devils and planes along the way. There were only so few people left. A whole group, within a day, they were all gone!"

"I really didn't expect that the two defensive positions were breached by the devils so quickly. If I don't withdraw, I'm afraid they will all die on the positions."

Zhang Wei glanced at Bao Chuan, then walked up to him, looked at the sparse rice soup in the pot, and asked, "Do you usually eat these?"
