Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

On the battlefield, scouts are the eyes and ears of the troops, relying on them, the commander has the basis for deploying battles.

But on the training ground, the scouts had limited access to training. Qiao Lin planned to open a new field training class for the scouting team of the cavalry company.

"Investigation team, come out!"

After talking about the key points of the meeting, Qiao Lin called the names directly.

The five fighters took a step forward at the same time.

"Starting today, I will take you outside for training, which can be understood as actual combat training. Bring all the equipment, ride on the horse, and prepare to set off with me."

Jolin announced very formally.

The other fighters all cast envious eyes. They thought they would train on the wheat field for a month, but they didn't expect the investigation team to start actual combat so soon.

"Don't be envious, you also have to step up your training. Before the official end of training, I will let you experience the taste of actual combat in advance."

Qiao Lin made a fool of himself and set off with the investigation team.

"Zhao Xiaotao, Ma Xiangyang, Liu Xiaobo, Zhang Shuncai, Li Erzhuang, I called your names correctly, right?"

Qiao Lin rode ahead, looked back, and asked with a smile on his face.

"That's right, Instructor Joe."

Zhao Xiaotao said quickly.

Although they had only been together for more than a dozen days, Qiao Lin was able to accurately call out the names of everyone in the cavalry company. Apart from his good memory, he also really treated every soldier with his heart.

"You were all infantry in the past. You should have performed reconnaissance missions. In fact, there is no difference. What you need to pay attention to is to hide and not expose. In addition, you must control the radius and calculate how long it will take to go back and forth. This is difficult to understand on the training ground. , so take you out for field drills, relax and don't be nervous."

After all, it was the first actual combat drill, and the soldiers were somewhat nervous.

Chapter 530 Four Field Investigation Training

Encouraged by Qiao Lin, the soldiers gradually relaxed and started chatting and laughing. Together, they galloped towards the wasteland on the east side.

Naturally, Qiao Lin didn't choose the direction randomly. Since he came out with the investigation team, he naturally had a target.

When he first entered the peninsula battlefield, Qiao Lin was a scout in the [-]th company. Scouting can be said to be his old profession, so he is very good at what to do.

"Today is the first day of going out, and the radius is set at [-] kilometers. During this period, I will ask you to adjust your direction and even set a time. If you have any questions, ask me in time."

After riding for about [-] kilometers, Qiao Lin ordered to stop and rest, and explained some important points to the soldiers. After reaching the [-] kilometers, he suddenly ordered the five soldiers to disperse in five directions, and stipulated the meeting place and Time, request to report to yourself the terrain and landmarks along the way after gathering.

Of course, he didn't really let go of it. After the soldiers set off, he followed them silently, constantly changing directions, and observing the situation of each soldier.

After all, it is the first time to go out, safety is the most important issue.

Without a compass or a watch, how to accurately identify the direction and judge the time?

Qiao Lin had taught these skills to the fighters as early as on the training ground.

You can tell the direction according to the sun, the dense leaves, the slope of the hillside, and the dryness and wetness of the ground.

Although there is no watch to display the current accurate time, the time can be calculated by counting silently, breathing, and the speed of horses running.

An hour later, the five soldiers of the investigation team met Qiao Lin at the agreed place on time.

There were no accidents along the way, and Qiao Lin was very satisfied with their performance.

Plain investigation, slope investigation, woodland investigation. ． ．

Throughout the day, Qiao Lin trained the soldiers in the reconnaissance team on the skills and key points of reconnaissance in various terrains and environments, how to keep their voices down as much as possible when riding horses, how to predict danger, how to judge the enemy's strength based on footprints, etc. .

The content is very cumbersome, and even once refreshed the cognition of the five fighters.

They have also carried out similar investigation tasks in the previous army, nothing more than sneaking observation and inquiring information, never thought that there is so much knowledge in the investigation.

In order to be able to master these skills as soon as possible, several fighters are also studying hard.

At the end of the day, the soldiers were exhausted, and so were the horses.

After returning to the camp, I drank water first, then ate, and then I was pestered by other soldiers to ask questions.

At the same time, in Xing County, two hundred kilometers away from the [-]th Brigade Headquarters, the headquarters of the Fujiwara Brigade was brightly lit.

Fujiwara Kujo sat in front of the table with a gloomy face. On both sides of the table stood the staff of the Fujiwara Brigade Headquarters, as well as the captains of the various regiments who had received orders from various places.

Everyone lowered their heads in silence, not even daring to breathe.

"Baga! This failure is a disgrace to the empire, a disgrace to the soldiers, and a disgrace to all of us."

After being silent for a while, Fujiwara Kujo slapped the table and cursed angrily.

"Hay!"

The little devil officers on both sides continued to bow their heads.

The muscles on Fujiwara Kujo's face kept twitching, he was very disappointed, very angry, and wanted to kill.

Originally thought that his plan was flawless, and he could drive the biggest threat, the [-]th Brigade, out of Northwest Shanxi without any effort.

Unexpectedly, the Eighth Route Army's Jedi counterattack not only failed his plan, but also completely wiped out Hatomoto's unit, causing the Fujiwara Brigade's control in this area to weaken again.

At noon, he received a call from his superior, the head of the Beiyuan Division, Major General Beiyuan Qianye.

On the phone, Kitahara Qianye scolded him bloody, using the words idiot and trash no less than twenty times.

Regarding the reason for the failure of this plan, Kitahara Qianye didn't want to listen to his explanation, but just told him before she cursed at him and was about to end the call, the little devil's highest military officer in Northwest Shanxi, Lieutenant General Ito Kunihiko, commander of the [-]th Army Follow this thing.

If Fujiwara Kujo cannot come up with results that can make up for this failure in a short period of time, then prepare to go to Dragon City to commit suicide and apologize in front of Kunihiko Ito.

Fujiwara Kujo, who hung up the phone, was already in a cold sweat. He knew very well that his good days of sitting firmly in Xing County and enjoying life were over.

If the Eighth Route Army cannot be severely damaged, then there is only a dead end waiting for him, and this is also his last chance.

So he immediately ordered all the subordinate officers stationed in various places to be summoned to Xing County to discuss the next step.

I thought that these subordinates could provide some effective solutions, but the combat meeting lasted for nearly three hours, and only one solution was discussed after repeated discussions.

In the area controlled by the Fujiwara Brigade, another sweep was carried out.

The Eighth Route Army is good at guerrilla warfare, and the little devils who have fought many times have suffered a lot.

Moreover, the Eighth Route Army has an excellent mass base in the base area. In addition to being highly vigilant, the people in the defense area are also willing to cover for them.

This made it impossible for the little devil to accurately locate the garrisons of the various units of the Eighth Route Army, and he didn't know where to go if he wanted to concentrate his forces for a siege.

Since the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance, the Eighth Route Army has always taken the initiative to attack the little devil's garrison.

And if the little devils want to target the Eighth Route Army, they can only use this method of mopping up, searching and searching the villages near the station, fighting if they encounter it, and burning, killing and looting the people if they don't touch it.

Fujiwara Kujo originally imagined that he could make a big event against the Eighth Route Army that shocked the North China region.

But the suggestion given by these subordinates is still to sweep.

Not to mention Northwest Shanxi, the little devils in the entire North China region have been mopping up for three days and two, and they have not been able to do anything to the Eighth Route Army, so what can they do with their own brigade.

After berating his subordinates, he ordered them to continue to find a way.

But no matter how hard these little devils think, they can't think of a better way than mopping up.

If they don't go to raid, they don't even know how to find the Eighth Route Army, and they can't even see the Eighth Route Army, so there is no serious injury.

Fujiwara's nine throats were smoking, and he knew that it would be useless to continue cursing, so he could only compromise and agree with his subordinates' suggestion on mopping up.

However, after seeing the combat map on the wall, his big head, which was comparable to a pig's head, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with an idea.

"Takahashi Regiment, Yoshioka Regiment, Harada Regiment, and Kobayashi Regiment, you start from your respective bases and spread out in a fan shape to mop up. The four regiments encircle and advance toward the center."

"Kimura, you lead the security team, mobile reinforcements in the encirclement, Iijima, you lead the secret service to investigate, and you must find out where the troops of the Eighth Route Army are stationed."

Fujiwara Kujo pointed at the map and issued two orders in one breath.

"Hay!"

All the little devils nodded immediately.

At the same time, the headquarters of the [-]th Division of the Eighth Route Army was also holding a meeting.

It is not as magnificent as the meeting room of the Fujiwara Brigade. The meeting room of the [-]th Division is just a simple private house, with a wooden table, two rows of long chairs, and a kerosene lamp, which are all the decorations.

Several chiefs sat at the table, circulating the documents just sent from the headquarters.

Mr. Liu took off his glasses, wiped them and put them on again, looking at the capable generals at the table.

Chapter 530 Five Sweeping and Anti-sweeping

Unlike the grassroots units, the [-]th Division, as one of the only three divisions of the Eighth Route Army in the early days of the War of Resistance, was also the main force of the War of Resistance in Northwest Shanxi, and has always been concerned by all forces.

During this period, the Eighth Route Army had not officially expanded on a large scale. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, the [-]th Division did not increase the number of troops with temporary designations like the lower-level brigade-level combat units.

Therefore, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the [-]th Division had only two regular brigades, the [-]th Brigade and the [-]th Brigade.

Of course, the seven brigade-level combat units added in the later period will appear one after another in the following texts.

Brigadier Wang of the [-]th Brigade, Brigadier Chen of the [-]th Brigade, Deputy Commander Xu, Chief of Staff Ni, and Director Deng of the Political Department are the core members of the [-]th Division.

"I've already spoken to the commander-in-chief, and the headquarters also agree with our point of view. The [-]th brigade wiped out a wing of the little devils this time. The enemy will definitely not let it go. Retaliation is inevitable."

After everyone read the document, Master Liu spoke.

"I need to review this matter. At that time, in order to cooperate with the operation to rescue the villagers of Qiaozhuang, our department created the illusion of retreating westward and passed by the station of the Little Devil Yamazaki Brigade. After the rescue operation was successful, returning to the defense area would inevitably alarm the enemy. We decided to use the strength of three regiments to besiege the Yamazaki Brigade, but I didn't expect to involve the entire Hatomoto Regiment, disrupting the layout of our division."

Brigadier Chen first stood up to conduct self-criticism.

Originally, Political Commissar Wang came to the division to report on his work, but when Political Commissar Wang returned, he was notified to leave immediately and rush to the division to attend the meeting.

"This is not your responsibility. The enemy's guns are all on the head. How can you not fight back? The [-]th Brigade's results this time are brilliant, and the headquarters also commended them, but the consequences are also very serious. It completely angered the enemy. According to According to information, there is no movement in Dragon City yet, but the Fujiwara Brigade in Xing County has already taken action. The headquarters judged that the enemy will continue to use the previous method to retaliate by mopping up, but the initial scale will not be too large, it should be limited to Fujiwara Brigade."

Commander Liu waved his hand, indicating that Brigadier Chen didn't need to review this matter. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. If it could be predicted, then the war would have been won long ago.

Besides, the struggle between the enemy and the enemy is either you die or I live. If you don't kill the enemy when you encounter it, is it possible to let them go and harm the common people?

"The Fujiwara brigade happened to be in the defense zone of our division. The head of the headquarters has given instructions, ordering our division to crush the enemy's raid and ensure the safety of the people in the defense zone. If the time is right, we can take the initiative to attack the enemy. Headquarters These are the instructions, and everyone can express their opinions below.”

After Mr. Liu finished speaking, he signaled everyone to talk about their opinions on the anti-sweeping operation.

"Brigade Commander Chen and I are obliged to fight the enemy. We have discussed it just now. We will push all the existing main forces to the front line, counterattack at the beginning of the enemy's sweep, and strive to defeat the enemy's conspiracy once. .”

Brigadier Wang and Brigadier Chen looked at each other, then stood up and said loudly.

"Very good, but the deployment of troops must be adjusted accordingly. The combat power cannot be scattered all at once, creating an internal emptiness and preventing the enemy from destroying it from within."
