The heavens begin with the bright sword

Chapter 61

The combat effectiveness of the little devil artillery is mediocre, but the combat effectiveness of the infantry is indeed very strong, especially in positional warfare and fortified battles, they have shown a military quality that is more than a step higher than that of the Eight Route Army.

Even the New Sixth Regiment, which they boasted to be elite, felt full of pressure under the desperate attack of the devils.

Fortunately, Li Yunlong came quickly with a large army of independent regiments, and took the devil's back at the critical moment. They really might not be able to defend the Yongle stronghold. After all, when they attacked, they had already destroyed the Yongle stronghold. That is to say, the little devil's infantry went to support with light equipment, and did not carry heavy weapons. The heavy machine gun left by the little devil in the stronghold was cheaper for the New Sixth Regiment, otherwise the situation would be more difficult.

After all, the devils were a large group of soldiers. The 3000 soldiers from the Independent Regiment plus the 2000 soldiers from the New Sixth Regiment made a total of 5000 soldiers, but they were not able to wipe out all the devils. Some of them ran away.

Although it failed to capture the Jiuxian stronghold in the end, it also destroyed the Jiuxian railway station, wiped out an artillery brigade, and dismantled the establishment of an independent brigade. The battle between Jiuxian and Yongle was a big victory, and the good news has spread to Brigade Department.

The New Sixth Regiment and the Independent Regiment, which had not yet been separated, also received their respective orders from the brigade headquarters.

Now that a hole had been torn open on the Lintun Highway, the Independent Regiment went straight out of the encirclement and wreak havoc in the enemy's hinterland, taking advantage of its familiarity with the topography of the base area, elusive, and specialized in attacking the scattered small strongholds of the devils, causing headaches for the devils endlessly.

Although the New Sixth Regiment received an order to go to Yan'an, but because the regiment leader was not there, they needed to find the regiment leader first, so they continued to explore along the Lintun Highway, and went to Subao Town to meet their regiment leader.

Outside the town of Subao.

Zhang Xiu stared at the sky speechlessly.

Lying on the hillside with a piece of grass hanging from his mouth, he was a little discouraged.

Some time ago, it meant fighting there, and relying on cheats was basically invincible, but this time when he met this group of little devils, he still lamented that his practice was not enough. In addition, the battle of Jiuxian, which should have ended the battle, Maybe these little devils won't come out of the mountain so easily.

War. How can there be no plan?

The originally impetuous heart has really smoothed out a lot for him in the past two or two days.

"Regimental Commander, the investigation has been completed." Zhao Guorong touched it quietly, and whispered: "The terrain in the southwest of Hanlue Village is difficult, and there are mostly steep walls of more than two feet on both sides of the road. It is convenient for our army to set up an ambush. I and the local militia have already met. The boss said that the little devils in the stronghold are slaughtering chickens and sheep, and they are still cleaning up around the stronghold, as if they are going to celebrate the festival."

"Oh?" Zhang Xiu immediately regained her spirits: "This is interesting."

"Captain, do you think it's the devils from the Subao stronghold who are going to go there?"

"I think it's probably true. It's not a New Year's holiday. Why is he doing such a thing?" Zhang Xiu pondered for a while, and said, "Anyway, we've all come here, and we've been waiting for more than a day, so we don't care too much." Wait a day, and set up an ambush in Hanlue Village. If the devils in Subao Town don’t come out, they will attack the devils in Hanlue’s stronghold. Damn, we can’t make this trip in vain, and we have to find a chance to take a sip of Tang.”

"Send someone to show me where Huai Zhong and the others have gone."

"Yes!"

Inside the Subao stronghold.

The commander of the division, Miura Chujiro, is receiving the combat observation group from the headquarters.

Chujiro Miura was a little tired. He didn't understand why the headquarters always liked to do such tricks. Who gave the headquarters the confidence to believe that the sweep was inevitable, and even sent an observation group?
What are you here to observe?
Observe that his 69th division lost the Yongle stronghold?

Lost an artillery unit?

Someone bombed the old county train station?
Although he is a lieutenant general, the largest member of the observation group is a major general, but his status is different. The staff officer of the major general at his headquarters can't afford to offend him to a certain extent.

All right, good wine and good food will be served first, as for the results of the battle between Jiuxian and Yongle.
"The battle is over. Although the Eight Routes blew up the Jiuxian Railway Station in a sneak attack, Captain Kazuo Okamoto who was stationed in Jiu County has already repelled the Eight Routes. The Yongle stronghold was attacked by the main force of the Eight Routes. Send troops to rescue and fight the enemy to the death, and finally repel the eight routes, and both sides suffered heavy losses."

What can he say?
Said that their 69th Division lost the battle?

But he was right.

The old county has indeed been defended, and the Eighth Route Army of Yongle is indeed the main force, and it is not just stationed in Yongle. , is it also considered to repel the Eight Routes?

Both sides suffered heavy losses. The benevolent see benevolence, and the wise see wisdom.

As for what the observation group thinks, that is their business.

Chujiro Miura deliberately advised them to stay in the Subao stronghold and forget it. The Eighth Route Army is getting more and more fierce. They are haunting the mountains, and they can't be caught. If something happens, who will it be?
This batch of observation groups is not small, even more powerful than the observation group that watched Yamamoto's performance last time. They are all backbone officers above the squadron leader and selected by Neiji Okamura himself. There are more than 120 people in total. The major general's staff, a major general's brigade head, and six regimental leaders.

"Naomi Hattori last time was a lesson for the past, so we must guard against it." Miura Soujiro persuaded.

"Hatbu is too careless." Major General Kato nodded and said, "We won't go to the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army this time, but since it's for observation and study, we always have to go to the front."

After all, there are lessons learned from the past, but the one who sent them here was the Supreme Commander of the North China Front Army, and it’s okay if they don’t come. They don’t plan to be too arrogant, they plan to take a stroll around a small stronghold, and when they go back, the headquarters will always have something to say when asked. Just follow the big team forward and you're done.
Chujiro Miura was very relieved when he heard this, he was afraid that this group of people had too many ideas and it would not be easy to take a stroll around the small stronghold on the front line?

The closest to them is Hanlue's stronghold. It's a total of six kilometers away, and they come and go very quickly. And he had expected that the observation group would go to the front line. The closest to the Lintun Highway is Hanlue's stronghold, so he had already informed them there. Do the homework.

Now I heard that they just go to the small stronghold for a while, and they will follow the big army and will not act without authorization. Soujiro Miura was a little relieved.

These ancestors were also sensible and did not trouble him.

"Captain, we are back!"

The soldiers of the New Sixth Regiment, who had returned with a full load, touched the top of the mountain in batches and joined Zhang Xiu.

"It's just in time, I'm going to arrange a combat mission now."

"Do you still want to fight?" Li Huaizhong was taken aback for a moment, he thought that the head of the regiment had miscalculated this time and would just give up on the ghosts in Subao Town.
"Head, the commander asked us to settle the matter at hand and go to Yan'an." Wang Chengzhu reminded in a low voice, which Li Huaizhong forgot to mention just now.

"Go to Yan'an?"

"There is a big move over there. All the troops in Shanxi have mobilized some of their main forces to defend Yan'an. Because our Taiyue Military Region is fighting against mopping up, we sent a regiment commander to say, let's not love to fight and rush to Yan'an .”

"I don't feel comfortable if I don't eat the meat that's in my mouth." Zhang Xiu pondered for a moment, then said decisively: "We have to finish this battle when we leave."

I've been waiting for so many days
