People are shining their swords, secretly helping the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi

Chapter 190 Injury to the Independent Mixed Fourth Brigade
Major General Tsuda Mitake, head of the Independent Mixed Fourth Brigade, took the suggestion of the Chief of Staff of the Brigade, and his main force began to move west of the county seat.

The few remaining so-called special bombs have also begun to be distributed to the artillery and grenadiers.

It's just that these little devils obviously ignored the existence of the guard company and the cavalry company, and they even underestimated the strength of Chen Ziyun's 11th regiment.

After they started to transfer, Chen Ziyun got the news immediately.

Of course, Chen Ziyun has a radio at present, so Chu Yunfei commanded the troops to encircle and wipe out the 11th Field Brigade, he knew it well.

Under such circumstances, the little devils located in the south of the county began to mobilize, and Chen Ziyun knew what they wanted to do without having to think about it.

"Tuan Zuo, if this group of Japanese troops didn't advance quickly towards Hezuo Town to support the little devil troops who were surrounded and annihilated by the brigade, why did they gradually move towards the west of the county?"

"Could it be that they plan to launch an attack from the west, thereby putting pressure on our troops and forcing the brigade to give up fighting in Hesuo Town and rush to help quickly?"

"But this group of little devils continued to attack the south, making a lot of gaps, and it was difficult to break into the city. What progress can they make to the west?"

The battalion commander of the Sixth Battalion, Shi Yujia, was full of doubts. He looked at Chen Ziyun and said inexplicably.

The troops of the two sides fought fiercely in the south of the county for a long time, and the Japanese army also used close-range blasting, blowing up the southern city wall and making many gaps.

On the west side, it has only been diverted and attacked. The city wall is still very complete, and there is no gap to break through.

Shi Yuframe was very curious about what the Japanese troops were moving to the west.

"If they want to attack our troops, they can attack directly from the south. The poisonous gas here has almost dissipated."

"But instead of attacking from the south, they shifted to the west, which obviously shows that they have other ideas."

"Here in the south has already been attacked by poisonous gas, and when they come to the west, they can launch a larger-scale poisonous gas attack."

"I estimate that the Japanese army is likely to carry out a large-scale poison gas attack, and then quickly advance towards the town of Hesuo."

Chen Ziyun thought for a while, and he immediately guessed what the little devil was thinking.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ziyun immediately issued a combat order.

The artillery battalion immediately shelled the Japanese army, and the guard company and cavalry company launched an attack from the north.

The Fifth Battalion, which had been transferred to the east of the county, quickly maneuvered and detoured to the south of the Japanese army to launch an attack.

The sixth battalion's machine gun company and other troops stuck to the first defensive position, mobilized no less than two infantry companies, and prepared to go out of the city directly.

Facing the poisonous gas attack that the little devil was likely to launch, Chen Ziyun planned to fight head-to-head and fight directly.

In this way, the troops of both sides fought at close range, and it was naturally impossible for the little devils to use deadly poisonous gas.

After all, with the little devil's current protective ability, they have no way to effectively defend against these deadly poisonous gases.

Once the troops of both sides fight at close range, they will never use such poisonous gas.

The messenger and the messenger immediately conveyed Chen Ziyun's order.

The artillery battalion in the city began to get busy.

Liang Guoping is currently playing a coordinating role. He is in charge of the connection between the two artillery companies and the observation team.

The two artillery companies were commanded by company commanders Li Yang and Sun Xiong.

Six Bofors mountain guns and five Type [-] mountain guns soon got shooting data.

The two company commanders quickly worked on the map, and they quickly passed the shooting elements to each platoon.

The artillery began to make adjustments. The second company of the mountain artillery had a detailed shooting parameter table, and they directly fired.

The first company of the mountain artillery is to carry out a series of preparations, test firing, verification shooting, and then effective firing.

A round of grenades continued to be fired towards the outside of the county, and there was a deafening explosion.

The shrapnel quickly spread in all directions, and the little devil who was marching was hit and suffered casualties.

With an angry expression on Tsuda's face, he began to contact the artillery unit, demanding that the artillery unit fire the gas bombs immediately.

Only at this moment, eleven mountain cannons launched continuous shelling.

After more than fifty rounds of grenades were fired, one after another shrapnel shot over.

Countless steel balls and small steel arrows quickly spread around, and many little devils fell to the ground, screaming like pigs being slaughtered.

It was at this time that the cavalry company and the guard company fought together.

The two cannon companies merged together and quickly launched a strike from the north side.

Four 81MM mortars and four Type [-] heavy machine guns fired continuously.

The four infantry platoons and the four cavalry platoons were constantly approaching the little devil, firing rapidly with various weapons.

At twelve o'clock midnight, the troops deployed by the Sixth Battalion on the first line of defense also began to launch firepower strikes.

In the shooting holes dug out of the city wall, a string of tongues of flame sprayed bullets.

The grenades on the city wall and the light machine guns fired continuously.

Flares hit the air one after another, and the surrounding area was as bright as day in an instant.

Ten minutes later, Wu Ziqiang's Fifth Battalion quickly arrived at the area south of the battlefield.

The 500-man troops went directly into combat without any adjustments.

Wu Ziqiang held a submachine gun made in Jin Dynasty and personally commanded the troops to charge.

The company commanders of each company and the platoon leaders of each platoon also lead by example.

The soldiers of the fifth battalion had high morale, and they quickly approached the little devils from the south to start fighting.

It is worth mentioning that Wu Ziqiang started to cooperate with Chen Ziyun when he hit Cangyun Ridge.

Now Wu Ziqiang has become Chen Ziyun's subordinate battalion commander, and he has been in contact with Chen Ziyun for a long time, and he has changed a lot.

Speaking of which, there must be a lot of wine bags and rice bags in the Jinsui Army, but in Chu Yunfei's army, there are no such officers.

Qian Bojun, Zhang Fugui, Wu Ziqiang and others are all old people who have followed Chu Yunfei through life and death for many years.

It's just that as the 358 regiment continued to strengthen its own strength and developed to a force of more than 5000 people, they gradually gained power in their hands.

They experienced a different life, were gradually corrupted, and Yan Laoxi's suppression made them think differently.

So much so that both Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui had the idea of ​​taking refuge in the little devil!
But when they got up early, they also had the courage to lead the troops and fight to the death with the little devil.

Otherwise, they would not get Chu Yunfei's approval and become his battalion commander.

Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui are now determined, they want a suitable price, and they will turn back directly.

However, under Chen Ziyun's command again and again, Wu Ziqiang came to his senses.

At least now he will not continue to hide behind and command, and has the courage to charge the troops with weapons.

An officer is the courage of a soldier. Seeing an officer charge forward, the soldiers behind will naturally not hesitate.

Of course, this is also a test for officers. After all, ordinary officers are too harsh on their subordinates. If they take the lead in charging on the battlefield, they are easily blacked out.

At 12:30, the Sixth Battalion of Shi Yujiao invested more than 200 people from two infantry companies to take the initiative to attack.

At this time, Shi Yujia, the battalion commander, had already come to the city wall to command the battle.

Chen Ziyun came to the artillery position to check the situation. After making sure that there was no problem, he quickly left the city to command the battle.

For a while, the little devils' troops were attacked from three sides. They wanted to launch poison gas bombs, but they had no chance at all.

Fierce gunfire continued to ring out, and one after another, little devils were killed.

"Your Excellency, brigade commander, the Jinsui Army on the north side is its elite unit, and they have a large number of submachine guns!"

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, we are under attack from three sides, and the artillery of the Jinsui Army in the city continues to shell."

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, it's not good. Our artillery unit was attacked by a small elite unit of dozens of people."

One by one, the news began to pass to Major General Tsuda Mitake, the head of the brigade. These are naturally not good news.

The various units of the 11th Reserve Regiment continued to participate in the battle, and Wei Monk's reconnaissance platoon was not to be outdone.

Chen Ziyun gave them the right to fight freely, and the reconnaissance platoon also participated in this battle.

Under the command of the platoon leader Wei Monk, they directly carried out a surprise attack.

A small force of 40 people directly hit the artillery unit.

The little devil artillery saw the reconnaissance platoon soldiers, but was completely dumbfounded. They packed up the artillery shells in a panic and moved quickly.

But the two light machine guns fired continuously, and the two 60MM mortars fired shells one after another.

Eight snipers launched a sniper attack from different positions, and a little devil artilleryman was killed.

Fifteen assaulters started shooting with Czech semi-automatic rifles. For a while, the Japanese artillery was simply a live target for the reconnaissance platoon.

"Bagaya Road, abandon all battle plans, and quickly move to the hilly area northwest of Xinxian County."

"At the same time, contact the 11th Independent Field Brigade, let them organize their own troops to break through, and find a way to meet up with the main force of the brigade in the hills."

"Issue an order to the subordinate ministries and tell them that they must not let any weapons and equipment fall into the hands of the Jinsui Army."

"Especially heavy weapons and artillery, they cannot be taken away and destroyed immediately!"

At one o'clock in the morning, Tsuda Mitake gritted his teeth and issued a combat order.

The little devils troops began to recklessly move towards the hilly area, and they gave up fighting here.

The Japanese grenadiers that got the gas bombs also started firing gas bombs at this time.

Of course, due to reasons such as the combat distance between the two sides, the little devil grenadier must not dare to launch deadly gas bombs.

They fired the green and red bullets in their hands one after another to cover the rapid transfer of troops.

The green bomb can be said to be a tear gas bomb, and the red bomb is a poisonous gas that irritates the respiratory organs. After being poisoned, it will continue to sneeze.

These two kinds of poisonous gases are relatively light in harm, and they are also protected by the little devil's gas mask.

A large amount of poisonous gas began to be released. After the various ministries discovered the poisonous gas, they first evacuated quickly.

At the same time, during the evacuation process, the soldiers with gas masks immediately put on gas masks to cover the retreat of the troops and prevent them from being attacked by the Japanese army.

Of course, the little devils paid a lot of casualties at this time, but they didn't have the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to attack.

Tsuda Meiwu commanded the troops to move quickly, and they did not dare to stay here for the slightest.

The fighting on the west side of the county gradually stopped, and the sound of guns gradually became less and less.

All ministries immediately rescued the wounded, and at the same time quickly cleaned up the battlefield.

Chen Ziyun sent messengers to immediately understand the casualties of various ministries.

Hearing that the reconnaissance platoon had seized some artillery and shells, Chen Ziyun came over quickly.

"Tuan Zuo, a mountain cannon was seized, and there were two destroyed mountain cannons, and some of the shells were also seized."

"And inside these shells, there are some strange ammunition boxes with skulls painted on them."

After Monk Wei saw Chen Ziyun, he spoke directly.

At this time, Chen Ziyun was wearing the military uniform of an ordinary soldier, because Monk Wei did not salute on the battlefield.

This is what many officers have learned after paying blood. The little devil rifleman has a strong shooting ability.

Officers in military uniforms appear on the battlefield and have always been the key targets of the little devil riflemen.

Afterwards, when all the officers went to the front line, they would almost change the military uniforms of ordinary soldiers to avoid becoming targets of little devils.

But the little devils are very cunning, as long as they see a salute on the battlefield, no matter what clothes they are wearing, they will shoot immediately.

So now, there is an unwritten rule on the battlefield that no salute is allowed when you see an officer.

Although the battle in the west of the county was over, no one dared to say that the vicinity was absolutely safe.

When Chen Ziyun heard the ammunition box with a skull, he hurried over.

After seeing the ammunition box, Chen Ziyun didn't need to look carefully to be sure that it must be the poisonous gas bomb of the little devil!

It's just a pity that there are not many ammunition boxes, at most five or six gas bombs.

"This is the gas bomb of the little devil, monk, wear a gas mask, be careful, and transport it directly to the artillery battalion."

"Tell Battalion Commander Liang to take care of it so that no poisonous gas leaks, and send them the artillery and ammunition by the way."

"This time your reconnaissance platoon is not bad. After the battle is over, I will give you credit."

Chen Ziyun looked at Monk Wei and gave him detailed instructions.

In the following time, the 11th Preparatory Regiment was mainly cleaning the battlefield and treating the wounded.

At the same time, they also organized the newly formed recruit company to help strengthen the position.

After all, the current time is just past one o'clock in the morning on August 24th, and there are still more than ten days before the system requires September [-]th.

Even if the Independent Mixed Fourth Brigade was hit hard, they still had a certain amount of artillery.

This means that the little devil may come to this side for help at any time, and the battle in Xinxian County will still happen.

Chen Ziyun had to be prepared so that he would not be unable to complete the system tasks.

Especially for air defense, Chen Ziyun had to take charge of it himself.

He knows what a little devil is like, better than anyone else.

If the ground troops are in positions that cannot be solved by gas bombs and other means, carpet bombing will definitely be carried out.

So Chen Ziyun didn't need to think about it. After dawn, Xin County would definitely be attacked by the little devils' air force.

For a while, the reserve 11th regiment in the county was very busy.

Of course, in Hesuo Town, the 358th regiment and other troops commanded by Chu Yunfei are about to end their annihilation campaign against the 11th Independent Field Battalion.

As for the little devils, they independently merged into the remnants of the Fourth Brigade, quickly evacuated towards the hilly area, and switched to a defensive state on the spot.

In the area to the east of Xinxian County, the Xinyi Regiment, under the command of Li Yunlong, has taken cover on some nearby highlands belonging to the Taihang Mountains.

Up to now, the new regiment of 2000 troops has very powerful weapons and equipment.

In terms of artillery, there are three [-]-type infantry guns, two [-]-type mountain guns, and hundreds of shells.

The other three infantry battalions also have many 82MM and 60MM mortars.

In terms of heavy machine guns, there are more than a dozen in the three battalions.

With such a large number of light and heavy weapons, plus sufficient ammunition, it would definitely not work to rely solely on the soldiers to transport them.

The little devil's Type [-] heavy machine gun needs ten soldiers to serve it.

Among these fighters are shooters, deputy shooters, ammunition hands, and those who are responsible for transporting machine gun ammunition.

Brigadier Chen also considered this, so he gave the approval note.

The official Zhao Gang took the approval slip and found the people in the nearby places.

Many militia teams were quickly assembled and began to assist the new regiment in transportation, assuming the role of heavy soldiers.

In this regard, the Eighth Route Army has a great advantage.

Before we knew it, it was past three o'clock in the morning, and the weather at the end of August was very hot.

Lao Li stood on a high ground looking out, waving his cattail fan from time to time.

"Independently mixed into the Fourth Brigade, I took the troops to hide nearby, and thought I could fight them."

"It turned out that it was Chu Yunfei's independent 48th brigade who fought with them in the later period, and the new regiment went too far to block the independent and mixed ninth brigade."

"Damn it, Mitake Tsuda, an old devil, is really useless. I thought he was good at fighting."

"But now Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun are almost about to completely annihilate them, and this time they are going to show off again."

Li Yunlong saw that the little light that had appeared before in the county town was completely dimmed, and he knew that the battle was probably almost over.

Thinking of the information provided by the reconnaissance troops and local personnel, Lao Li's face was full of unhappiness.

"Head, what are the origins of Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun? How can this Jinsui army be so good at fighting?"

"I've heard that the Jinsui army rarely fights against little devils, and they are not opponents of little devils."

"How come Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun are able to command the 48th Independent Brigade of the Jinsui Army one after another to achieve great results."

Zhao Gang came in front of Li Yunlong, he humbly asked for advice.

In the blocking battle in the too far area, Li Yunlong killed more than a thousand troops and seized a large amount of weapons and equipment.

After this battle, Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong with admiration.

Before, he thought that Lao Li was just a big bastard with no merits.

But after seeing Li Yunlong's commanding ability, Zhao Gang also began to try to understand Li Yunlong and understand Li Yunlong.

So the name above has also changed.

Li Yunlong glanced at Zhao Gang, sat down on the ground, and shook his cattail fan vigorously.

"Chen Ziyun!"

"Chen Ziyun?"

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang said Chen Ziyun's name one after another, with different expressions on their faces.

Zhao Gang was full of doubts, wondering what was unusual about Chen Ziyun.

As for Li Yunlong, that's just envy, jealousy and hatred.

"Zhengwei Zhao, if our Xinyi Regiment had a cadre like Chen Ziyun, they would surely have achieved more victories than Chu Yunfei."

"It is precisely because of Chen Ziyun that Chu Yunfei achieved this series of victories."

Li Yunlong looked towards Xin County, and said with a serious expression on his face.
