Bright sword, I have a red police base car

Although Chen Xi's strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west has certain operability, it also contains very large omissions and uncertainties.

The Red Police troops conducted a feint attack on Jinzhong. In the eyes of the Japanese army, this was not much different from targeting Taiyuan.

Once Taiyuan is threatened, the Bantian Regiment must provide support in the direction of Taiyuan. However, once the Bantian Regiment enters Taiyuan, the airborne support brigade will basically be unable to play its role, and the fifth battalion of the feint attack will become the main offensive force.

In this way, the destruction of the Bantian Regiment would become the destruction of the North China Front.

However, Zhang Shijie was very dissatisfied with this situation. Once they attacked Taiyuan, the Japanese army would inevitably attack on multiple fronts to disperse the strength of the Red Police troops.

The current ammunition production capacity of the Red Police Force cannot support such a war spanning North China and East China for a long time.

In order to eliminate the Bantian Regiment, Zhang Shijie didn't mind annihilating one or two Japanese brigades, but it was really not cost-effective if a full-scale war was triggered.

"Chief, in fact, we can make slight changes based on Chief of Staff Chen's plan. When the Fifth Battalion is advancing, it can slow down the attack speed as much as possible to attract the mobilization of Japanese troops. In this way, the troops in Taiyuan can be based on the Fifth Battalion's plan. The marching speed will not prematurely mobilize the troops around Taiyuan. If the Japanese army transfers the Sakata Regiment to the front line, we don’t even need to dispatch the airborne troops, we can just order the fifth battalion to launch a general attack!"

After listening to Zhang Ning's plan, Zhang Shijie felt that this plan was very feasible and had a higher fault tolerance rate for the Red Police Force, so he decided to use the plan provided by Zhang Ning and ordered the troops to start preliminary preparations.

The Sixth Battalion, which provides support and coordination in the rear, had already set off that night, detouring through the Jizhong area to the Eighth Route Army's Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area.

The troops of the Fifth Battalion also began to make preparations, and Zhang Shijie assigned an additional 122mm howitzer battery to the Fifth Battalion for coordinated operations.

The airborne troops also carried out targeted intensive training under the orders of the Red Police Force Headquarters.

At this moment, the headquarters of the 386th Brigade sent a telegram to the Red Police Force, asking what happened to Zhang Shijie.

Since the Sixth Battalion passed by the 386th Brigade's station before setting off, the troops of more than 6000 people driving cars and tanks towards the central Hebei area really shocked the Eighth Route Army troops.

Therefore, the brigade commander raised questions about the movements of the Red Police Force and said that he could apply to his superiors for assistance with the Red Police Force.

In fact, Zhang Shijie would inform the Eighth Route Army every time a large-scale troop dispatch was carried out. However, this time because the troop's actions required further deployment, Zhang Shijie did not have time to notify the brigade commander.

After receiving the telegram from the brigade commander, Zhang Shijie also sent a copy of the action plan to the brigade commander, but he only indicated the troop movements and did not tell the brigade commander about the goal of the Bantian Wing.

After all, so many troops were dispatched just to build a regiment of Japs. Although this reason was true, it did not convince the brigade commander and the senior officials of the Eighth Route Army.

If you really say that, you are treating the Eighth Route Army as a fool.

After the brigade commander learned of the Red Police Force's plan, he immediately sent notices to all the Eighth Route Army units on the route of the Sixth Battalion to avoid misunderstandings after the Red Police Force arrived.

In the central Hebei area, not many people have seen the Red Police Troops. It would be bad if some of our own people mistook the Red Police Troops as devils.

So after the brigade commander's notice, the Sixth Battalion had an unimpeded journey.

Liao Yaoxiang: Unimpeded?I'm familiar with this!

"Chief, according to the current progress, it will take the Sixth Battalion five days to complete its deployment in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region."

Zhang Shijie nodded after hearing Chen Xi's report, and then said: "Then order the Fifth Battalion to attack in the direction of Jinzhong in three days, and let the United Front Office send two troops from the Shanxi-Sui Army to support the Fifth Battalion."

"Yes! Chief!"

Following Zhang Shijie's order, all the troops involved in this mission made pre-war preparations as quickly as possible.

The support battalion of the Red Police Force also began to arrange the logistics support work of the troops in advance to ensure the logistics work of the troops during the attack.

The airborne support group also began pre-war preparations.

Three days later, the Fifth Battalion of the Eighth Route Army Logistics Support Regiment also set out from the Dagushan base area and began to deploy troops in the Japanese-controlled areas and launch an offensive posture.

The 321st Regiment of the Jinsui Army and the 60th Regiment of the Jinsui Army also followed the planned plan, leaving only one battalion to look after the troops, and all the remaining troops were dispatched to provide flank protection for the fifth battalion.

Since these two Jinsui Army units have been operating for nearly a year, they are now basically red police soldiers, so their combat effectiveness is still very reliable.

With the dispatch of the Red Police Force and the Jinsui Army, the Japanese in the three counties of Pingshun, Licheng, and Shexian learned of the situation immediately and hurriedly reported to their superiors on the radio.

Since the Red Police Force's military uniforms were special and the fifth battalion's mission this time was to conduct a feint attack, Zhang Shijie did not hide the traces of the troops.

The Japs in the three counties were panicking. It turned out that the security team from Ping'an County had escaped!
At this time, there were more than three regiments of Japs stationed in the three counties. However, at this time, all the Japs in the three counties had blocked the city gates and stayed behind closed doors. At the same time, they requested support from the surrounding troops.

The Fifth Battalion was a little confused when they saw this situation. What's going on?Why didn't the little devil come out to stop him?
This is not right!

Since the Japanese troops in these three counties were located in the area surrounding Dagushan, they often suffered the most losses in these three counties and the defense areas below during the repeated cold-shooting and capture campaigns carried out by the Red Police troops.

Although they suffered the most losses, they were also the most experienced in facing the Red Police Force.

So after receiving the information about the appearance of the red police force, and the appearance of the large army, the little devils immediately closed the city gate tightly, with a look of "I won't go out even if you beat me to death."

Now the red police force is melancholy.

If the damn little devil doesn't come out, the surrounding Japanese troops haven't been attracted yet, and they can't directly cross these three counties. There must be no Japanese garrison strongholds on their logistics supply lines.

In this case, the fifth battalion commander had no choice but to order an attack on the city!

In order to leave time for the little Japanese reinforcements, the fifth battalion commander did not plan to divide his troops into three groups to attack at the same time, but chose to defeat them one by one.

The first to attack was Pingshun County.

When the little Japs in Pingshun County saw the Red Police troops marching directly towards them, the commander of the Japs Military Police Headquarters suddenly collapsed!

Why did these killer stars attack them directly? !
"Quick! Send a telegram to the surrounding friendly forces for help! Ask the headquarters for tactical guidance! While the radio can still be used, hurry!" Qingye and Si Dazuo, commanders of the Japanese military police in Pingshun County, immediately shouted to the communication soldiers around them.

Since the Red Police troops usually carried out electromagnetic suppression against the Japanese troops in previous battles, when they discovered that the Red Police troops had not suppressed them this time, the little devils immediately sent telegrams to the outside.

But they did not expect that the Red Police Force would not carry out electromagnetic suppression on them this time like before.

After all, the Red Police Force also wants to attract the rest of the little devils!

But the little Japs in the first county that the Fifth Battalion attacked definitely had no way to survive.

"Fire company, mortar company! Start suppressing fire!"

At this time, in Taiyuan City.

Yoshio Shinozuka felt anxious as he watched the telegrams coming from various counties like snowflakes.

"What's wrong? What happened to Jinnan?!" The upset Yoshio Shinozuka roared loudly in the headquarters.After receiving the telegram, the communications department of the First Army became busy instantly. Worried about the electromagnetic suppression of the Red Alert Force, the headquarters of the Japanese First Army is currently in continuous contact with the frontline troops, for fear that they will be attacked by the other side in the next second. Cut off communication.

"Report to your Excellency, Commander! According to the report from the Pingshun County Gendarmerie Headquarters, troops from the Ping'an County Security Regiment are currently launching an offensive operation against Pingshun County. The number of opponents is more than 5000, and they carry a large number of artillery and other heavy weapons. There are also two Three regiments of Jinsui Army troops assist in the attack!"

"Nani?!" Yoshio Shinozuka was in a trance when he heard the news.

At this time, in the outer defensive positions of Pingshun County, the little Japanese were suppressed under the artillery fire of the Red Police troops and could not raise their heads.

In fact, this level of firepower is not a full-scale strike for the Red Police Force. Now the fifth battalion only uses one mortar company and one firepower company.

And since the attack this time was in the county town, the Red Police Force had to ensure the accuracy of the artillery strikes to avoid accidentally injuring the people in the county town, so the density of firepower strikes was also reduced a lot.

On the Japanese defensive position, a regiment of puppet troops and a brigade of Japanese soldiers suffered heavy casualties under artillery fire.

As a professional army, while the artillery of the Red Police Force is conducting artillery strikes, there are also artillery observers to indicate the coordinates at all times.

And under a large number of mortar attacks, the little Japanese hiding in the trenches would not be of much use.

"Bazooka platoon, all platoons, pay attention! Fire a salvo, let go!"

"Whoo~ whoo~ whoo~"

The firepower company's rocket launcher platoon fired 48 rockets instantly, and the incendiary bombs it equipped also dragged flames directly towards the Little Japanese's outer positions.

As the flames burned fiercely, the little Japanese's limited bomb-proof cave was also covered by raging fire, and the oxygen in the bomb-proof cave was instantly consumed.

"Artillery squadron! Quickly build a position to counterattack!" Pingshun County Gendarmerie Commander Qingye Kazuji saw the tragic situation in the outer positions and anxiously issued orders to the artillery squadron that was building an artillery position.

But he imagined that an artillery counterattack was destined to be impossible.

As the county closest to Dagushan, Pingshun County naturally has the intelligence department of the Red Police Force.

After receiving the order from their superiors, the Red Alert spies who were hiding in the Japanese and puppet troops immediately retreated, while the remaining Red Alert spies had already begun investigating various camps of the Japanese army.

The artillery positions being constructed by the Japanese army in the camp were also discovered by Red Alert spies, and their coordinates were reported to the artillery troops outside the city by Red Alert spies.

After obtaining the coordinates of the Japanese artillery position, the 122mm howitzer battery, which had not yet fired, immediately adjusted its position and prepared to cover the Japanese artillery position with fire.

"Attention, first platoon! At the reserved position on No. 2, the whole platoon fires two salvos! Let go!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!."

The Japanese artillerymen who were seizing the time to build their positions never imagined that they would be discovered by the Red Police troops before they could even build their positions, and were subsequently eliminated.

Because the Little Devil's artillery position was in the county town, the 122mm howitzer did not use an airburst fuse.

With two salvoes from an artillery platoon, eight 8mm howitzer shells fell in the Japanese artillery position.

The eight 8mm grenades were very dense compared to the area of ​​the Japanese artillery position. The artillerymen of a squadron of the Little Japanese were directly killed and injured under this round of artillery fire.

At this time, a Japanese sergeant ran to the top of the county town building and said to Kazuji Aono, who was observing the situation in the outer positions: "Your Excellency Qingye is not in good condition! The artillery squadron has just been covered by Chinese army artillery fire!"

"Baga! How could this happen?!" Qingye and Si immediately put down their binoculars and cursed angrily when they heard this.

As the only means for the Japanese army in Pingshun County to counterattack the Red Police troops, the artillery squadron was killed by the Red Police troops before firing a single shot.

This result is really unacceptable to Aono Kazuji.

Furious, Aono and Tsukasa punched the city wall and cursed "Baga!"

What they didn't know was that this scene was witnessed by the approaching Red Alert sniper. After the sniper determined that the target in the scope was the Japanese commander, the Red Alert sniper did not hesitate. The trigger was pulled.

The silenced gunfire did not attract any attention amid the rumbling cannons around. However, Aono Kazuji's head, who was originally giving orders to the surrounding messengers on the tower, exploded in full view of everyone.

Since the bullet was fired from the front door, the powerful cavity effect shattered the back of the Japanese commander's head.

White brains with red blood splattered on the faces and bodies of many little devils around.

"Lord Qingye!"

"commander!"

When the surrounding kidnappers saw Aono and Tsukasa fall to the ground, they immediately gathered around him. Seeing this, the sniper also knew that this target must be an important commander.

Before the Red Police troops officially launched their offensive, the top commander of the Japanese army in Pingshun County was directly shot dead.

After 20 minutes of artillery preparation, the fire company's 85mm cannon immediately adjusted its firing angle and switched to direct fire, aiming directly at the city wall of Pingshun County.

"Attention all cannons in the company! Target: city wall, fire a volley, let go!"

As 12 artillery shells were fired at the city wall in Pingshun County, a section of the city wall more than [-] meters long collapsed.

"First company! Attack!"

At the command of the commander of the 501st company, a company of red alert soldiers instantly launched an attack in accordance with the tactical formation.

The 502nd Company and the 503rd Company also began to clean up the Japanese outer positions and completed the cover of the 501st Company on the flanks.

The remaining troops also began to provide fire support to the attacking forces.

The garrison in Pingshun County consisted of a regiment of Japanese troops and a regiment of puppet troops. Under the artillery fire preparations of the Red Police troops, more than half of the Japanese troops had been lost. The remaining puppet troops immediately rushed forward when the Red Police troops rushed forward. Throw the gun far away and lie down on the ground.

For such sensible Japanese devils, the Red Police Force would often not open fire on them. After all, there was still a shortage of people in the labor camps.

But for those devils who dare to hold weapons in their hands, the Red Alert soldiers will not talk nonsense to them.

"Report to the battalion headquarters and let the company enter the city!"

"The first company began to advance into the city, the second and third companies cleared the perimeter, and the fourth, fifth and sixth companies entered the city to support the first company!"
