Chapter 151 Chen Ziyun Commands Guerrilla Fighting
Harada Dazuo was full of anger at this time, he hoped to achieve results in this battle.

As a result, the Japanese army's performance in all aspects has been a mess.

The Harada detachment all went out to fight, but they still failed to deal with the Jinsui Army troops in Suohe Town.

Instead, the Jinsui Army took the opportunity of their empty defense along the railway and directly took down the military column transporting combat supplies.

The Sato detachment originally wanted to dispatch for help quickly, but was ambushed on the road, suffered heavy casualties, and was forced to withdraw to the station.

The current situation of the Harada detachment can be described as very bad. It is obviously meaningless for them to continue to attack when they have been unable to take Suohe Town for a long time.

After all, Li Yunlong's troops will go north at any time, which will pose a threat to their artillery positions and detachment headquarters.

The most important point is that the Jinsui Army has already controlled the military column, and they can take away a large amount of spoils at any time.

Even if these shells and artillery cannot be recovered, at least the Japanese army must completely destroy them and not fall into the hands of the Jinsui army.

"The three major captains of the 13th Independent Infantry Regiment are simply idiots. How did they command the battle?"

"Two artillery brigades supported them in the battle. They had nearly 5000 combat troops, but they couldn't take down the positions of the [-] Jinsui troops."

"Stupid, stupid, incompetent! Don't they know how to command troops if I am not in command at the front?"

"There are also idiots like the Sato detachment. More than 2000 troops were ambushed by Tuba Road, and they were beaten and retreated to the station."

"It's no wonder the First Army has lost battles one after another. With these idiots around, it's impossible for them to win."

"The First Army Command doesn't know what the hell is going on. The military column transporting a large amount of combat supplies passed by without issuing a notification in advance."

Mr. Harada couldn't help but start to complain about the air. He believed that all the responsibilities were caused by other people.

If it weren't for the different faults of these people, then the Harada detachment would definitely not have such a passive combat situation.

After some venting, Mr. Harada came to the map. He frowned and his face became gloomy.

"Order, the First Brigade, the Artillery Brigade to abandon the attack on Yangpo Village, and start searching from west to east!"

"Order, the second battalion, the first battalion of the mountain artillery, give up the attack and retreat to the mountain artillery position with all their strength."

"Order the third brigade to stop attacking Xihui Village and Suohe Town, and start searching from south to north."

After pondering for a while, Colonel Harada began to issue a series of combat orders with a serious expression on his face.

The second battalion, the first battalion of the Mountain Artillery, assembled and defended the mountain artillery positions, and they could also provide protection for the Jinshan Detachment Headquarters.

As for the first and third brigades and the artillery brigade, it is a comprehensive search for the cavalry company and the guard company.

These three brigades are to intercept these troops transporting spoils and prevent them from withdrawing with a large amount of spoils.

At the same time, Colonel Harada issued an order to these troops, requiring them to actively fight and recover the combat supplies seized by the Jinsui Army.

In addition, he also made an arrangement, that is, to destroy these combat materials if they cannot be recovered.

After all, when fighting in the Suohe Town area, Colonel Harada also knew the powerful combat capabilities of the artillery of the Jinsui Army.

In his opinion, if these artillery shells fall into the hands of the Jinsui Army, it will definitely strengthen their combat capabilities.

Then in the next battle, it will naturally become more difficult for the Harada detachment to annihilate them.

The Harada Detachment Headquarters quickly conveyed combat orders one by one, and the Japanese troops who received the combat orders began to abandon their current combat operations.

The little devil's troops left the battlefield one after another, ready to implement the combat order of Harada Dazuo.

After Chen Ziyun, who was in command of Yangpo Village, discovered the Japanese army's actions, he immediately contacted the artillery unit.

Chen Ziyun asked the artillery battalion to start shelling with all its strength, so as to launch a containment attack on the Japanese army.

The infantry in the defensive position immediately provided the observation team with a direction by firing signal flares.

The observation team immediately carried out operations on the map by observing the signal flares, and provided accurate shooting data to the artillery unit.

"Boom boom boom."

Six Bofors mountain guns and two Liao-made field guns fired continuously.

When the Japanese troops withdrew from the battlefield, they were hit one after another and suffered certain casualties.

As the little devils withdrew one after another, Chen Ziyun quickly established contact with various ministries.

In the fierce battle up to now, Wu Ziqiang's Fifth Battalion of Independent Infantry has suffered a lot of casualties.

The four infantry companies under it do not have any fully staffed troops.

The machine gun company suffered casualties, but the heavy weapons were not damaged, but a lot of ammunition was consumed, and the remaining bullets and shells were seriously insufficient.

"Currently, there are about 500 remaining members of the Fifth Independent Infantry Battalion. There are some lightly wounded here, and there is not much ammunition left."

"In addition, there are more than 600 remaining soldiers in the Sixth Battalion of the Independent Infantry, which also includes lightly wounded people. Their ammunition reserves are not bad."

"The overall casualties of the two infantry battalions are close to 500, with more than 200 killed and a large number of wounded still receiving treatment."

"In addition, there were no casualties in the artillery battalion, but the shells they carried were obviously insufficient."

"The remaining shells of the eight artillery pieces are less than [-] rounds, and the Bofors Mountain Cannon has a certain number of armor-piercing shells."

Soon, some military officers came to Chen Ziyun to report.

Now that the battle has progressed, the overall casualties of the troops commanded by Chen Ziyun are not small.

In particular, their continuous firepower in defensive operations caused them to consume too much ammunition.

If Chu Yunfei hadn't dispatched a hundred heavy soldiers with relevant supplies to follow the battle, I'm afraid they would have run out of ammunition by now.

"Liang Battalion Commander, the artillery battalion must continue shelling. The Japanese army has given up fighting now, and there must be other plans."

"There is a battle on the northern railway. It must be that the guard company and the cavalry company have launched a combat attack on the railway."

"In addition, there are also gunshots from the Xinxian area, indicating that the combat troops of the First Army have launched operations again, and it is estimated that they are fighting with the Eighth Route Army."

"We cannot let the troops stationed in Mongolia easily withdraw from the battlefield, otherwise the cavalry company and guard company troops may be in danger."

Chen Ziyun had a solemn expression on his face, and he immediately issued a combat order to the artillery battalion Liang Guoping.

He gave the approval directly, asking the artillery battalion to keep [-] shells, and as for the other shells, all the shells could be fired.

The guard company and the cavalry company made a lot of noise. Others don't know what they did, but Chen Ziyun can probably guess it.

The system provided transportation supplies. The military train will go south along the Tongpu Railway in the near future, so he specifically told Zhang Wu, the commander of the cavalry company.

Now that the guard company and the cavalry company are launching combat operations, Chen Ziyun knows that they probably intercepted the military column.

And judging from the mobilization of troops by the Japanese army, the operations of these two companies should have been successful.

Otherwise, the Sato detachment would not rush north to help and be attacked by Li Yunlong's troops.

Now the Harada detachment is also going to withdraw all troops from the battlefield of Suohe Town, obviously wanting to attack the guard company and cavalry company troops.

Yangpo Village is a highland, and Chen Ziyun is condescending here, so he can easily see all aspects of the situation.

Although Chen Ziyun didn't know the name of the little devil, he probably guessed the relevant combat situation.

The Harada detachment wanted to withdraw, so Chen Ziyun would not let them go back easily.

"Battle Commander Wu, Commander Shi, I know that your troops have suffered heavy casualties as a whole, but now is the time for you to grit your teeth and persevere."

"Each of you dispatched a hundred veterans. We are going to pursue the Japanese troops in front of us, and we cannot allow them to evacuate calmly."

"The troops assembled in Xihui Village, attacked from the south, and attacked the retreating Japanese troops on the flank."

"The transferred troops must have light and heavy machine guns, rifles and submachine guns, and grenade mortars. Be careful, all of them must be veterans."

Chen Ziyun called together the commanders of the two infantry battalions, and he said with a serious expression on his face.

At this time, the combat strength of the two battalions is only more than 100 people. It is difficult for Wu Ziqiang and Shi Yuzhu to draw [-] veterans from here.

After all, there are a lot of recruits in their two battalions, but not many veterans, especially after certain casualties.

These two hundred veterans are almost the combat core of their army.

Chen Ziyun asked them to fight back. If there were heavy losses, the two infantry battalions would be completely destroyed.

The core of every army's combat is veterans, and these veterans are equivalent to the sharpest blades.

A knife without a blade loses its deadly threat.

"Commander Chen..." Wu Ziqiang and Shi Yu frame hesitated to speak.

If it weren't for Chen Ziyun's absolute popularity around Chu Yunfei, and his presence in the Independent 48th Brigade was second only to Chu Yunfei.

I'm afraid that Wu Ziqiang and Shi Yujian will turn their faces a long time ago. After all, if their troops suffer heavy casualties, they will have no way to explain it to Chu Yunfei.

Moreover, these losses will directly affect their subsequent promotions.

"I will personally command these 200 people to fight, and you stay in the current position."

"I will take full responsibility for the series of consequences of this battle."

Chen Ziyun looked at Wu Ziqiang and Shi Yujia in front of him, and said with a serious expression on his face.

When the two battalion commanders heard Chen Ziyun say such words, they naturally couldn't refuse.

At three o'clock in the morning, Chen Ziyun commanded 200 troops to take the initiative to attack.

The 200 troops launched an attack on the south side. Under the command of Chen Ziyun, two hundred veterans launched guerrilla tactics.

They continued to harass and disperse to fight.

Various weapons continued to carry out combat strikes on the evacuated third brigade, which caused the third brigade to suffer continuous casualties when it evacuated.

At four o'clock in the morning, the captain of the third brigade, Major, showed an angry expression.

They continued to fight in the area of ​​Suohe Town. Although they only took on the task of diverting the attack, they still had about 200 casualties.

Chen Ziyun commanded two hundred veterans to launch a guerrilla strike, causing dozens of casualties in an instant.

The captain of Shaozuo asked the troops to stop retreating and immediately launched an attack.

Hundreds of troops pursued towards the south side, trying to find the [-] troops commanded by Chen Ziyun to carry out an annihilation strike.

However, after Chen Ziyun discovered the actions of the Japanese troops, he directly asked the troops to break up into pieces and disperse them.

These 200 people are all veterans, and their overall combat strength is strong enough to deal with the third brigade of the Japanese army.

Chen Ziyun's strategy was obvious. The third brigade retreated, and they went all out to guerrilla, constantly killing and wounding its combat troops.

The third brigade stopped advancing to fight them, so they scattered and did not fight the Japanese army.

He just wanted to contain this Japanese army and see the follow-up reaction of the Harada detachment.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, the second brigade withdrew to the position of the first brigade of the mountain artillery, and they held on to the spot.

The First Brigade and the Artillery Brigade also withdrew from the Yangpo Village battlefield one after another, and they have already launched a search.

Only the third brigade, which was restrained at this time and had not yet left the battlefield, was carrying out the search mission of Harada Osamu.

It was at this time that Li Yunlong's troops also started combat operations after cleaning the battlefield.

Zhang Dabiao commanded the first battalion, equipped with four mortars, and advanced directly towards the position of the first battalion of the Japanese mountain artillery.

The fourth and seventh battalions continued to set up ambush positions and prepared to attack the Sato detachment.

As for the guard company and cavalry company that seized a large amount of loot, they are transferring with supplies.

Originally, they were moving towards the west, but when the fierce gunfire in Suohe Town stopped.

Chu Yu and Zhang Wu realized that something was wrong, they temporarily stopped moving forward.

"Flare, company commander, look, there is a signal flare in the Suohe town area."

The two company commanders met. At this moment, dazzling flares appeared in the area of ​​Suohe Town.

Originally, according to the agreement, Chen Ziyun fired a signal flare, and the guard company and cavalry company wanted to seize the opportunity to attack.

"The Japanese artillery positions are here. The meaning of the previous camp is to let us attack the Japanese artillery positions."

"But there's such a big commotion on our side, it's impossible for the camp to not know about it."

"Did he continue to fire the flare, or did he ask us to continue the attack?"

"The camp must know our situation here. If he fired the signal flare, would he have any other ideas?"

"In any case, the Japanese army attaches great importance to artillery units. If their artillery units are attacked, other units will definitely support them."

"And judging from the current situation, the Japanese troops in Suohe Town are mainly concentrated in the north and east!"

"If we go south with the trend, can we find another way to withdraw?"

Chu Yu and Zhang Wu started to discuss, and at the same time, the cavalry troops kept reporting the news.

It didn't take long for the two company commanders to also get a report of the fighting in the Xin County area.

After discussing with Zhang Wu, Chu Yu and Zhang Wu made a decision.

The cavalry company led the people to transport supplies and made a direct detour, advancing towards the south.

Under the command of Chu Yu, the guard company directly attacked the Japanese artillery units according to the previously planned combat plan.

Chu Yu wanted to lead the troops to attract the attention of the Japanese army, so as to cover the actions of the cavalry company.

After the two finalized the plan, they immediately started to act.

The cavalry company and the people began to take other roads and went directly south.

As for the guard company, it quickly advanced towards the position of the first brigade of the Japanese Mountain Artillery.
