Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 386 Surprise the snake? (Fifth update!)

A few days later, Wang Ping led the guard group, which had not yet fully formed its combat effectiveness, and appeared outside the Independent Brigade's garrison day and night.

"Old commander, I have received orders from the military region and the military division! From now on, the independent brigade will be under your command, and I will be your deputy! I never thought that we would still have the opportunity to work together!" Wang Ping and Cheng Xiao rushed over excitedly.

There were a lot of unfamiliar faces in the Independent Brigade Headquarters, and Wang Ping didn't even know two of them.

Except for a few acquaintances, everyone else stared at Wang Ping with puzzled faces, wondering what kind of ability this young man could make his brigade commander compliment him so much.

Cheng Xiao was obviously prone to this. He frowned and scolded: "What are you doing in a daze? He is the old leader of the independent regiment. Without him, our independent regiment would not be where we are today. What should we do? But, from now on In the beginning, if someone dares to disobey the order of the old regiment leader, or disobeys the other, he will be dealt with as disobedience on the battlefield!"

After speaking, Cheng Xiao took Wang Ping to his office.

"Old commander, this is the current strength and equipment of the Independent Brigade!"

"The total force is 7000, each regiment has 2000, and the remaining 1000 are direct troops!"

"Each regiment has a mortar company, and the brigade headquarters is directly under an artillery battalion, including a field artillery company and two mountain artillery companies. In addition, the heavy artillery company directly under the military division is also under our management!"

Wang Ping handed the list back: "I've learned all about what you said in the military division, so let's not talk nonsense, let's get straight to the point!"

"The biggest problem we face now is how to send so much equipment and troops to the city too far away by day and night!"

In order to avoid the plan to attack Taiyuan City from being known by the Japanese army in advance, in the entire military region, except for a few commanders, only Wang Ping and Cheng Xiao knew about it.

One or two military divisions, because there is no need to directly attack Taiyuan City, the real purpose of this battle has not been passed down.

Here in the Independent Brigade, because it is on the front line against the Japanese and puppet troops, it is inevitable that there will be Japanese and puppet intelligence personnel in the troops.In order to prevent the Japanese army from knowing in advance, only Cheng Xiao knew before the official attack.

Hearing Wang Ping's worries, Cheng Xiao quickly spread out a map and analyzed: "The fastest route is to go back to Wutai first, take XZ through Wutai, and then go directly to the north gate of Taiyuan City!"

"The road to Wutai is no problem. They are all base areas with a good mass base, and we can bypass many counties stationed by devils along the way. The only problem is the XZ section."

"As the northern gate of Taiyuan City, the Japanese army has stationed a field infantry regiment in XZ, and there are also three regiments of the Imperial Association Army, with a total strength of more than 7000 troops."

"In addition, in order to ensure the safety of the north gate of Taiyuan City, the devils also built a large number of artillery strongholds around XZ to completely block the north gate of Taiyuan City!"

"It's almost impossible for us to quietly pass through the devil's blockade in XZ!"

"Then call!" Wang Ping replied surprisingly.

"That's not scaring the snake away!" Cheng Xiao immediately expressed his concern.

"No, as long as the devils don't find our main force, the Japanese will treat him as an ordinary military operation at most!"

"Unless the Japanese get definite news from us, they will definitely not believe that our Eighth Route Army is going to attack Taiyuan City!"

Cheng Xiao immediately understood: "Old regiment leader, you mean to deploy a regiment to attack a stronghold in XZ, and after attracting the attention of the devils, the main force quickly passed the blockade!"

"As long as the troops we mobilize cannot threaten XZ City, the Japanese will never realize that our real purpose is to attack too far!"

"This method is good. However, in order to be safe, it is best for the offensive troops to take down the two strongholds of the Japanese and puppet troops and expand the breakthrough of the main force. After dawn, the offensive troops quickly retreated, pretending that we are looking for them to train troops attitude!"

After five days of day and night travel, under the command of Yang Xiong, the arsenal guard regiment, which needed training the most, finally touched a Japanese puppet stronghold less than [-] kilometers away from XZ City.

It was the first time that Chief of Staff Yang Xiong independently commanded so many troops to fight. Although it was only training, he opened a breakthrough in the blockade of the Japanese and puppet troops.But Yang Xiong was still very nervous and excited.

"Comrades, according to the information provided by the head of the regiment, we must remove the strongholds on both sides of the road, but we must not let the devils think that we want to open a breakthrough in their blockade to cover the purpose of the main force passing through the breakthrough. Everyone Tell me, how should we fight this battle!"

Some people say to attack directly, some people say to surround the spot to fight for aid... However, Yang Xiong denied all these methods.

Just when everyone was at a loss and fell into deep thought, Yang Xiong pointed to a point on the map and said: "Comrades, the head of the team has already thought of a solution for us."

"All the methods we proposed just now are not as safe as the leader said!"

"Zhouzhuang stronghold, the largest of the seven or eight devil strongholds around, is also the material supply base for these strongholds around. If we attack here and take these two small strongholds by hand, the little devils will regard this attack as ours. We went to the supplies and ammunition they had hoarded in Zhouzhuang stronghold, without thinking that we wanted to break through their blockade."

"The devils stationed a reinforced infantry squadron in Zhouzhuang, and a battalion of the Imperial Association Army. The surrounding strongholds are a small squad of devils, and a puppet army ranging from a company to a company!"

"The first battalion, take all the troops directly under the regiment, attack the Zhouzhuang stronghold, and put on a posture that we must take the Zhouzhuang stronghold. Of course, if we can take it down in the end, we will take it down, and if we can't take it down, forget it, but we must control it well. Troop casualties!"

"Can you use the Thunder Cannon?" Hong Tao stared at Yang Xiong and asked.

"Yes! Feilei Cannon is no secret to devils!" Yang Xiong affirmed.

Then he continued to order: "The devils in the two strongholds along the road will definitely send troops to reinforce Zhouzhuang. The second battalion will use the company as a unit to eat up these reinforcements, and then take these two strongholds!"

"Third Battalion, block or ambush the reinforcements coming from XZ City!"

"Boom boom boom..." The battle rang out in a series of dull explosions. After the three explosive packs were pushed out of the gasoline barrel, they turned over and flew towards the Japanese stronghold more than 200 meters away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Boom..." Soon, three earth-shaking explosions sounded from the stronghold.

Three groups of fireballs soared into the sky, instantly illuminating the Japanese army's Zhouzhuang stronghold~

It was a quiet stronghold just now, but it suddenly became chaotic.

The devils, the imperial association army, rushed out of the barracks like crazy, some of them rushed out with rifles in their hands without even wearing clothes.

"Baga, we are under attack. The enemy has artillery, and it is heavy artillery. Enter the position immediately and prepare to counterattack!" The officers who rushed out of the barracks together brandished their command knives and shouted loudly, like wild beasts. Who to scold!
