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

Chapter 232 Rewarding the right to use drones
The battle in the north and south areas of Xin County started, and the Japanese troops continued to attack, trying to break through the resistance of the Jinsui Army troops in front of them.

The 358nd, [-]rd, and [-]th Battalions, the main force of the [-]th Regiment, under the personal command of the head of the regiment, Chen Ziyun, guarded the areas of Baizi Mountain and Crouching Tiger Mountain.

They repelled several group charges of the Japanese army in a row, and the two sides fell into a fierce battle.

But the Japanese engineering units moved quickly. They immediately cleared the minefields and blasted the anti-tank trenches in an attempt to clear the way.

By seven o'clock in the afternoon, the east and west roads of Baizi Mountain and Crouching Tiger Mountain were opened.

The reinforcement troops dispatched by the First Army began to deploy a part to contain the highland defenders, and the main force quickly detoured from both sides.

Their intention is obvious, that is to encircle the troops commanded by Chen Ziyun on the high ground, so as to completely annihilate them.

After Chen Ziyun found out what the little devil was doing, he began to direct the troops to abandon the high ground and gradually move towards the county seat.

The three infantry battalions began to alternately cover the evacuation of the high ground, and they moved towards the county area.

Of course, during the transfer process, the various ministries kept laying mines to hinder the little devils' troops.

At the same time, some troops were also drawn out by Chen Ziyun to launch guerrilla warfare against the Japanese army from both sides to restrain their advancing speed.

About [-] Japanese troops passed through the high ground, and they accelerated towards the county seat.

At eight o'clock in the evening, after repeated battles, the Mongolian troops also passed the Hutuo River.

The troops of the cavalry battalion and the artillery battalion moved towards the hilly area west of Xinkou Town, so as to cooperate with the [-]th Battalion in defense.

At this moment, more than 2 Japanese troops entered Xin County from the north and the south, and these troops quickly advanced towards the county seat.

There are still four hours before the time required by the system to hold on, and the 358 regiment is under great pressure.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Ziyun quickly contacted Sun Ming's guard company.

The guard company quickly attacked and directly carried out guerrilla operations against the First Army's troops from the flanks, harassing the little devils' troops and slowing down their advance speed.

The second battalion and the third battalion immediately advanced towards Hesuo Town and Qicun Town to ensure the rear of the regiment's main force.

In addition, the reconnaissance platoon unit directly under the regiment was also dispatched. Monk Wei commanded this unit to search for the Japanese command organization and launch combat strikes.

For a while here in Xin County, gunfire rang out everywhere, and fierce fighting continued.

A large number of Japanese troops frantically advanced towards the county seat of Xinxian County. They were preparing to seize the county seat, so they quickly dispersed and fought an annihilation battle in all directions.

In addition, Xin County is also a town that was recovered by the Jinsui Army. Whether it is the First Army or the Mongolian Army, they all want to take the county first.

After all, winning the county seat means continuing to capture Xin County, which is more or less a military exploit.

By ten o'clock in the evening, the battle had already begun on the periphery.

The 224th Wing and the 225th Wing, which attacked from too far away, were equipped with certain cavalry, engineering, artillery and other troops to launch a fierce attack.

The 358th Battalion of the [-]th Regiment, under the command of Chen Ziyun, actively launched a defense, and they stuck to the outer positions.

Of course, the Fourth Battalion was under greater pressure, and their overall casualties continued to increase.

The fierce battle lasted until 11:30, and Chen Ziyun had to dispatch the cavalry battalion again to rush to help.

The various ministries under the 358th regiment also quickly adjusted their combat deployments.

The second battalion is responsible for the first-line defense of Hesuo Town and Qicun Town.

The third battalion and the artillery battalion are responsible for the defense of the hilly area, and the seventh battalion is responsible for the defense of Xinkou Town.

The fourth battalion, the cavalry battalion, and the supply company are responsible for the defense of the county.

The guard company and the reconnaissance platoon launched guerrilla warfare on the periphery, harassing the little devils' troops.

For the next half an hour, Chen Ziyun continued to go to the front line to direct the battle.

He felt that every second was like a day. Facing the onslaught of the Japanese troops, the losses of the participating troops continued to increase.

The positions built temporarily were destroyed one after another under the attack of Japanese artillery.

The time finally came to twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. As the system sounded, Chen Ziyun gave the combat order without hesitation.

At twelve o'clock midnight on September 358th, the various units of the [-]th regiment moved towards the hilly area one after another.

At this time, the more than 3000 troops of the Mongolian Army, under the command of Major General Tanaka Shinichi, directly bypassed Xinkou Town and made a detour towards the county seat.

Tanaka Shinichi wants to seize the county seat and win this battle.

The Japanese troops under his command were very mobile, and they also achieved this.

At around [-]:[-], the mechanized infantry of the Mongolian Army quickly entered the city.

As they entered the city, the First Army troops also came to the county seat.

The troops of both sides will come together, but they will inevitably have some disputes with each other.

The First Army believed that the troops stationed in Mongolia were simply picking peaches. After all, they took down the county town.

However, the Mongolian Army believed that they had already entered the city, and the troops of the First Army continued to come to the city, obviously to rob the battle exploits.

The two troops belonging to different command systems had a quarrel, and the officers of both sides even got into an argument, almost fighting.

At 12:30, the situation changed when Major General Tanaka Shinichi, chief of staff of the Mongolian Army, came to the county seat.

Tanaka Shinichi has a hot temper, as long as his temper comes up, he doesn't care.

When he saw the troops from both sides arguing in the city, he slapped his face without saying a word.

Whether it was an officer of the First Army or an officer of the Mongolian Army, they were all slapped by him.

In an instant, these officers calmed down instantly, and the little devils who had been arguing before immediately quieted down.

"The troops of the Jinsui Army have now moved to the hilly area, and their strength is at most one regiment."

"It seems that they will not stick to Xin County for a long time. This regiment is only a symbolic resistance."

"Then in the next battle, we must completely annihilate them."

"Don't forget, both the First Army and the Mongolian Army have suffered heavy casualties here."

"The next thing we have to do is to annihilate this Jinsui army, so as to wash away the previous shame."

"Our 2-strong troops, if we let them escape safely, it would be a great shame!"

Tanaka Shinichi had an indifferent expression on his face. He looked towards the officers and said in a cold tone.

The Japanese army had a very common habit of going up and down during combat, that is, some officers completely disobeyed the orders from above.

Of course, such a situation is often when the little devils above ask to stop fighting, and the officers below want to continue fighting.

But when the troops are fighting, they must obey the command of the highest-ranking officer.

Tanaka Shinichi is a major general and chief of staff.

Although the First Army has a full 2 troops and several captains of the Dazuo Alliance, they still have to obey the command of Tanaka Shinichi.

A series of orders began to be conveyed from Tanaka Shinichi, and the various ministries that received the order were quickly mobilized.

The troops stationed in Mongolia were the first to be dispatched. After being reinforced by armored troops, they advanced directly towards Hesuo Town.

More than 1000 cavalry, more than 1000 mechanized infantry, equipped with [-] cavalry field artillery, dozens of chariots, and armored vehicles.

They wanted to take Hesuo Town, and then advance to Qicun Town, cutting off the 358 regiment's evacuation path towards the western highlands.

The 224th Wing, 225th Wing, 237th Wing, and 110th Wing strengthened different numbers of troops and besieged the 358th regiment on the hills.

For a time, a large number of Japanese troops launched operations, and they advanced towards different areas.

A surrounding net gradually began to spread towards the hilly area.

The main force of the 358 regiment, which was transferred to the hilly area, quickly began to take a short rest.

The relevant rewards given by the system have also begun to be discovered one after another.

The system has given a lot of rewards for completing the system's tasks this time.

"The system rewards the field artillery battalion with six Liao-made 75MM field cannons and two Liao-made 77MM field cannons. Detailed shooting parameter table."

"The system commends six Bofors mountain guns from the Artillery Battalion, and a detailed shooting parameter table for one Type [-] mountain gun."

After the system rewarded the detailed shooting parameter tables of these artillery, the [-] artillery pieces of the Field Artillery Battalion and the [-] artillery pieces of the Artillery Battalion all had detailed shooting parameter tables.

The overall combat effectiveness of these 24 artillery pieces has been greatly improved.

In addition to the detailed shooting parameter table of the artillery, the system also rewarded these artillery with [-] grenade rounds and [-] armor-piercing rounds.

In addition, Chen Ziyun's command skills of related arms have also been improved.

Cavalry command skills have been raised from elementary to intermediate.

Up to now, Chen Ziyun has intermediate command skills of cavalry, infantry, and artillery.

In addition, he also has martial arts and shooting intermediate skills.

Of course, these awards were not a big surprise to Chen Ziyun.

The best rewards given by the system, in Chen Ziyun's opinion, are the Eye of Wisdom and Bead Skills, and the right to use drones!

The skill of knowing the bead can help Chen Ziyun select officers and soldiers with hidden talents.

This time, the system gave Chen Ziyun the authority to select 30 people.

Chen Ziyun had chosen the right officers and soldiers for the previous two skills of knowing the bead.

Up to now, these officers and soldiers have gradually become the core personnel of the artillery unit and cavalry unit.

They have relevant talents and are directly excavated to become the combat core of relevant troops.

Chen Ziyun was naturally very happy to get the skill of Wisdom Eye and Bead Recognition again.

And the right to use the drone made him even more excited.

The so-called right to use drones means that you can use the drones provided by the system three times.

In these three opportunities, each time, the drone can be controlled to start from Chen Ziyun's own position and carry out activities within a radius of [-] kilometers.

Of course, each time is also limited, and each use time is within half an hour!

The drone provided by the system also has related adjustments to ensure that the drone can maintain a certain speed and endurance within half an hour.

Everyone knows the importance of drones on the battlefield.

Even if it's only half an hour at a time, the range of activities within a radius of [-] kilometers can completely play a decisive role.

Among other things, the investigation alone can play a decisive role.

Chen Ziyun is full of anticipation. The next time he will play a role, he will definitely use drones to carry out activities.

In that case, any whereabouts of the little devil will be exposed under his nose.

There are drones to assist the artillery, so these artillery can really hit a hundred shots.

The little devil's artillery unit and command organs will be exposed to these artillery strikes!

"Regiment, the supply company has already carried all the ammunition we found."

At this time, Chu Yu, the commander of the Seventh Battalion, came to report in front of Chen Ziyun.

Without any hesitation, Chen Ziyun immediately issued an evacuation order.

At one o'clock in the morning on September 358, the troops of the [-]th regiment moved towards the western highlands one after another.

Of course, during the transfer process, they were constantly attacked by the little devils.

However, the Eighth Route New First Regiment and the Independent Regiment troops stationed on the highlands on the west side actively launched a response operation.

By nine o'clock in the morning on the 358th, the various units of the [-]th Regiment had withdrawn from Xin County one after another.

After Chen Ziyun dispatched Chu Yu to express his gratitude to the Eighth Route Army, he led the troops to move towards the Yangcun area.

At this point, the subordinate units of the 48th Brigade of the Jinsui Army have completely left the Xinxian area.

They have finished fighting in Xin County. This time they fought a lot of beautiful battles in Xin County.

Of course, their own casualties and losses are also staggering, and many troops have been replenished several times.

This time they retreated to the garrison for rest, they must make a good adjustment, otherwise the troops will be greatly affected.

"Nani?"

"The troops of the Jinsui Army withdrew to the highlands on the west side, and the Eighth Route Army launched a response operation."

"Baga, Lu, what are you doing? The troops of more than 2 people actually let them retreat unscathed."

"Organize troops immediately, and launch an attack on the western highland immediately!"

"Find them, wipe them out completely, and never let them slip away."

Major General Tanaka Shinichi, Chief of Staff of the Mongolian Army, had an angry expression on his face, and he couldn't help roaring loudly.

Of course, this order was given to the First Army.

The Mongolian troops are all cavalry and mechanized infantry, and they cannot attack the high ground.

After the four captains of the first army unit received the order, they did not execute it for the time being, but contacted the headquarters of the first army as soon as possible.

After Yoshio Shinozuka learned about the situation in Xin County, after careful consideration, he immediately started communicating with Shinichi Tanaka.

At twelve o'clock at noon, the little devil's troops began to attack the highlands on the west side.

However, Li Yunlong's new regiment and Kong Jie's independent regiment resisted for a while, and then directly broke up into pieces.

They dispersed and evacuated towards different areas, and the little devil troops could not capture and annihilate them.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese army captured the highlands on the west side, but they did not achieve much results.

Tanaka Shinichi looked gloomy, and began to mobilize troops to investigate.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Shinichi Tanaka got the report.

He knew that there was an independent 48th brigade in the Yangcun area, as well as related troops of the Eighth Route.

But if they want to get to Yangcun, they must continue to advance in the southwest direction.

And after the Japanese army goes deep, it may start a battle with the main force of the Jinsui Army currently stationed in the west of Shanxi.

Tanaka Shinichi thought about it, and he finally decided to command the troops to advance towards the Yangcun area.

But just because he has such an idea, it doesn't mean that the First Army also has such an idea.

At 08:30, the First Army Command issued a combat order.

Shinozuka Yoshio asked the 224th Regiment and other troops to gather in Xin County, stop any combat, and wait for follow-up orders.
