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

Chapter 230

The main force of the Independent 48th Brigade moved away from Xin County one after another, and the three regiments of the Eighth Route Army had already withdrawn.

Chen Ziyun commanded the 358th Regiment to continue stationing in Xin County, and they were to undertake the task of covering the transfer of the main force.

At the same time, Chen Ziyun also needed to command the troops to defend the county until September [-]th, so as to complete the system tasks.

The 358th regiment is currently a super reinforced regiment, with a full strength of six battalions, directly under the reconnaissance platoon.

The second battalion, the third battalion, the fourth battalion, and the seventh battalion are all infantry battalions. In addition, they also have an artillery battalion and a cavalry battalion.

After all the ministries were transferred, Chen Ziyun adjusted the deployment of each battalion.

The cavalry battalion strengthened the second company of the artillery battalion with six [-]-type mountain artillery, and deployed them to the front line of Zhuangmo Town, south of Xin County.

They mainly guard against reinforcements that may be dispatched from areas that are too far away. Once the reinforcements are found, they will attack on the spot.

The Seventh Battalion is attached to the First Company of the Artillery Battalion with six Bofors Mountain Cannons, and they are deployed to the front line of Xinkou Town in the north of Xin County.

In addition, the regiment is directly under the reconnaissance platoon and is directly deployed in the handover area between Xin County and Yuanping City. They are on guard in the Hutuo River area.

These troops should guard against the Japanese and puppet troops in the north to prevent the troops stationed in Mongolia from drawing troops over.

The other three infantry battalions were stationed near the county seat.

Chen Ziyun's regiment headquarters is currently set up outside the county seat.

After continuous battles, the county town of Xin County was completely in ruins, without any complete buildings.

Considering that the Japanese army may send aviation troops to bomb at any time, the main defense was not assembled in the city.

What Chen Ziyun has to do now is naturally to stick to it until midnight on September [-] to complete the task assigned by the system.

Of course, he also knew that the Japanese and puppet troops had suffered such heavy casualties in Xin County, and they would definitely retaliate frantically.

Whether it's the First Army or the Mongolian Army, they may send troops over.

"Regimental seat, the brigade headquarters sent a message that the main force of the Japanese army that was originally fighting on the Zhengtai Railway began to gather."

"Now these Japanese troops are advancing too far quickly, and they may advance northward to Xin County to fight at any time."

"The meaning of the brigade is for us to quickly abandon Xin County at the right time, withdraw to the Yangcun area, and reunite with the brigade's main force."

At nine o'clock in the evening, the messenger came to Chen Ziyun to report.

The First Army assembled more than 2 troops to fight south of the Zhengtai Railway, and now these troops are quickly assembled to Taiyuan through the Tongpu Railway and the Zhengtai Railway.

With such a large-scale mobilization of troops, it is very difficult to hide it from the Jinsui army, so Chu Yunfei got the news very quickly.

Chu Yunfei realized that these Japanese troops were likely to advance to Xin County to fight, so he contacted Chen Ziyun immediately.

He hoped that Chen Ziyun would take the 358 regiment back to the Yangcun area at an appropriate time and directly meet with the main force.

After all, the 358th regiment is the absolute main force of the independent 48th brigade. If they are hit hard, the consequences will be serious.

"Call back the brigade immediately. Our department has completed the alert deployment and will quickly evacuate Xin County at an appropriate time."

"In addition, contact the guard company and supply company deployed on the front line of Hesuo Town and Qicun Town, so that they can keep in touch with us."

Chen Ziyun came to the map and said with a serious expression on his face.

Chen Ziyun had expected that the little devil's army would enter Xin County, so he didn't panic too much.

As for giving up Xin County now, Chen Ziyun definitely wouldn't, after all, the system task was about to be completed.

The system's rewards are crucial to improving the combat effectiveness of troops, and Chen Ziyun will definitely not miss them.

The 358 regiment continued to defend here in Xin County, and Chen Ziyun became more cautious.

Even though he was very tired, he didn't dare to rest, but continued to understand the situation.

He also knew that once a large number of little devil troops came over, the 358th regiment would definitely fall into a hard fight.

If the troops were encircled and attacked, the consequences would be even more disastrous.

At this time, in the highland area west of Xin County, Li Yunlong and others gathered together.

Brigadier Chen and Master Liu kept sending messages, and orders were passed on one after another.

Originally, Li Yunlong's new regiment was equipped with a radio, and he was very happy.

However, after these messages were sent, Li Yunlong was very depressed. Anything he wanted to do would be restricted.

The overall strength of the Xinyi Regiment is not weak at present. There are three infantry battalions in the whole regiment. The regiment is directly under the cavalry company, artillery company, mortar company and other troops.

And through this battle, Li Yunlong's artillery company has six artillery pieces, including two 77MM field artillery pieces.

However, Li Yunlong couldn't keep these two wild cannons, so Brigadier Chen asked them to leave.

In addition, some of the weapons and ammunition they seized were also divided up by Commander Liu and Brigadier Chen one after another.

"Old Ding, Lao Kong, Lao Zhao, you judge, how can such a thing happen, I am not a landlord Lao Cai."

"The brigade commander and the division commander came here one after another to ask for weapons and ammunition. This is simply robbery. There is no discipline."

"Furthermore, you are not the main force in the field, so why should we have the same organization as yours?"

In the regiment headquarters of Xinyi Regiment, Li Yunlong was sitting on a rock, and he lost his appetite for the delicious food in front of him.

Master Liu and Brigadier Chen gave orders, and many of the weapons and equipment they seized were taken away.

The New First Regiment, the Independent Regiment, and the Infantry Battalion under the New Second Regiment adopt roughly the same organization.

Squads have light machine guns, platoons have grenadiers, and battalions have heavy machine guns. Each battalion has about 600 troops.

However, after all, the new regiment is the formation of the main field regiment, and their weapons and equipment have been strengthened.

In addition to a light machine gun in each squad and two grenadiers in each row, they also have a 60MM mortar in each company.

Moreover, the new second regiment, the independent regiment headquarters directly under the two infantry artillery, no other troops, these two regiments are organized around 2000 people.

The new regiment has mortar companies, artillery companies, cavalry companies and other troops. Their establishment is 500 people.

Li Yunlong said that the three regiments have the same establishment, which is completely angry, but in fact there is a big gap between them.

"Old Li, you can be content. Each regiment only has two infantry guns, and the rest are grenadiers."

"As for you, there are two infantry artillery, two mountain artillery, four 82MM mortars, and nine 60MM mortars."

"And let's not say it, you, Li, know in your heart that there are at least twenty heavy machine guns in the new regiment."

"Our whole regiment only has twelve squadrons. The gap is too great. You, Li Yunlong, were dissatisfied and angered the brigade commander. You know better than us."

"Old Li, the teacher and the brigade commander sent a telegram, there is nothing you can do if you disobey, unless you want to disobey."

"Hey hey hey, think about it for yourself. If you disobey orders and disrespect, you may be dismissed from your position. When the time comes, you will have to make wedding dresses for others with the wealth you have worked so hard to accumulate."

Ding Wei and Kong Jie drank sake and said with smiles on their faces.

This time they also had a lot of seizures and were asked to leave by the division commander and brigade commander, but they were still very satisfied overall.

After all, compared to before, their troops have greatly improved in terms of weapons and equipment and soldiers.

So even if they were asked to take away some weapons and ammunition, they thought it was worth it.

Li Yunlong is a typical person who does not suffer. He belongs to the kind of person who goes out without picking up the money and loses it.

The new regiment has also improved a lot compared to before, but he was made to take away his weapons and ammunition, and he just felt uncomfortable.

However, the division commander and brigade commander also gave a lot, related soldiers and some mortars.

And to replenish soldiers, the new first regiment can give priority to those with combat experience, and the rest can be added to the independent regiment and the new second regiment.

"Of course you are satisfied. You didn't have infantry artillery before the battle, but now I give you two infantry artillery. How could you be unhappy?"

"Forget it, forget it, I won't talk to you guys. I won't be able to take you with me in the next battle. With you here, our old Mrs. Li will suffer a damned loss."

"Without you, Xinyi Regiment would have to vacate an artillery battalion by now."

Li Yunlong drank the wine angrily, and said with an unhappy face.

The two 77MM field guns were taken away, which made him very uncomfortable.

Seeing how powerful Chen Ziyun's artillery unit is, Li Yunlong has always thought about forming an artillery battalion.

But now, there are only two infantry artillery and two mountain artillery, which are too far away from the number of artillery he needs to form an artillery battalion.

Li Yunlong started to drink angrily, Ding Wei and Kong Jie laughed, they ignored Li Yunlong and drank on their own.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Ding Wei began to leave the regiment headquarters of the New First Regiment. He needed to take the Second Second Regiment to quickly retreat to the Yangcun area to rest.

The New Second Regiment was the first to join the battle this time, and they have suffered considerable losses until now.

Now they need to rest and get relevant supplements before they can participate in follow-up operations.

Of course, the reinforcements sent by Brigadier Chen and Master Liu will not be able to arrive for a while.

After Ding Wei left, Kong Jie chatted with Li Yunlong for a while, and then returned directly to the independent group.

The New First Regiment and the Independent Regiment will be stationed here on the highland west of Xin County, and they may still participate in follow-up operations.

At the brigade headquarters of the 48th Independent Brigade, at three o'clock in the morning on September [-], Chu Yunfei hadn't rested yet.

Chief of Staff Lin Zhiqiang, who followed Fang Ligong, returned to the brigade headquarters first to report.

Zhao Yinfu originally planned to come to the Independent 48th Brigade to give awards, but knowing that Chen Ziyun had not returned, he temporarily returned to his headquarters.

He wanted to reward Chu Yunfei, Chen Ziyun and others directly on behalf of Yan Laoxi after Chen Ziyun came back.

"Brigade seats, related weapons and equipment, and soldiers are actively preparing. The participants will stay there and will bring them over directly."

"This time our brigade will be supplemented according to the type A brigade organization. The relevant soldiers are all selected and have combat experience."

"And in terms of establishment, Commander Yan has given us a lot of authority. It is no problem for us to increase our troops appropriately."

Lin Zhiqiang came to Chu Yunfei and reported directly.

Chu Yunfei nodded, and he glanced at the location of Xin County on the map beside him.

"These things will be discussed after Ziyun comes back. Ziyun has unique insights."

"In addition, keep in touch with Ziyun at all times, and keep abreast of their situation at any time."

"The Japanese army is definitely going to advance towards Xin County. I am worried that Ziyun will be in danger."

After pondering for a while, Chu Yunfei spoke.

Chu Yunfei was willing to listen to Chen Ziyun's opinion on the matter of drawing up the army establishment.

He knew that Chen Ziyun's abilities were not limited to commanding troops to fight.

After discussing with Lin Zhiqiang, Chu Yunfei first recruited Wu Ziqiang, the acting head of the 11th Preparatory Regiment.

He is deploying the 11th Regiment to the area close to Xin County, so that if the 358th Regiment is in any danger, they can support it at any time.

After all these arrangements were made, Chu Yunfei felt a little relieved.

Time passed imperceptibly, and the sky gradually became brighter.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the troops dispatched by the First Army completed their assembly in Taiyuan one after another.

These troops come from four different divisions, and they are reinforced by cavalry, engineers, armored troops, etc.

The four infantry regiments are the core, reinforced with different arms, and their combat strength exceeds 2.

Yoshio Shinozuka was dispatched by the staff of the General Headquarters, and he wanted to personally command these troops to participate in the war.

At the same time, the armored force directly under his general was strengthened again.

By eight o'clock in the morning, these little devils had a not weak armored force.

They have 24 tanks, 36 armored vehicles.

These armored vehicles also began to gather together for the first time. They assumed the vanguard and quickly moved north along the railway.

The 224th Regiment, 225th Regiment, 237th Regiment, and 110th Regiment followed suit.

These four alliances have a full staff of 800 people.

But their attacks have been strengthened in various ways. At present, each wing has at least 4000 troops.

The little devil's army of more than 2 people began to set off from too far away, and they marched towards Xin County in the north.

It was at this time that the Mongolian army could not sit still.

The Mongolian Army deployed two field infantry brigades from the 26th Division, which were independently mixed into two independent infantry brigades of the Second Brigade.

And attached to the puppet Mongolian army, more than 8000 troops came to support Xin County.

And the major general Harada Kenzo, the head of the 26th Infantry Regiment, personally commanded, but these troops have been completely wiped out so far.

Naozaburo Okabe, the commander of the Garrison in Mongolia, was very angry about this, and Shinichi Tanaka, the chief of staff, was even more furious.

Tanaka Shinichi's attitude is very tough, that is to launch crazy revenge.

Therefore, the garrison in Mongolia also deployed troops overnight and prepared to attack.

The cavalry group formed a mobile combat unit here for the first time, and they began to quickly gather in northern Shanxi.

At ten o'clock in the morning on September [-], Tanaka Shinichi, Chief of Staff of the Mongolian Army, came here in northern Shanxi to meet with this army. He wanted to personally command this army to fight.

The mobile combat force organized by the cavalry group under the Mongolian Army has a total strength of about 4000 people.

But they have a strong mobile combat capability as a whole, and they have cavalry, cavalry artillery, and mechanized infantry under their jurisdiction.

At 10:30, Tanaka Shinichi commanded the troops to move south along the railway quickly.

They moved quickly and quickly, with infantry in various vehicles in front, followed by cavalry and cavalry field artillery drawn by horses.

For a while, the little devil's troops advanced towards Xin County from the north and south areas respectively.
