Anti-Japanese War: Developing on my own, I brought back a US-equipped division

Now everyone just hopes that Su Zheng can protect the boss's safety.

Su Zheng also understood what everyone meant, and slowly said: "Dear leaders, don't worry... The boss will definitely be safe in our base. I, Su Zheng, will do my best to ensure the boss's safety!"

Ding Wei, Kong Jie, other leaders and everyone else nodded.

Afterwards, the leaders of the Eighth Route Army Senior Officers Exchange Group evacuated the Xinzhongcun base and returned to their original units to prepare for battle.

According to the original plan, the Eighth Route Army Senior Officers Exchange Group was to leave the Xinzhongcun base tomorrow, but now the situation has changed suddenly, and except for the commander-in-chief, everyone else has evacuated.

After everyone evacuated, Su Zheng, the boss and others came to the combat command post of the independent battalion. Looking at the combat sand table and combat form diagram, they began to prepare for defensive operations and prepare to resist the attack of the Japanese devils.

Su Zheng looked at the situation map and said, "This time, the Japanese sent out the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army. They can basically surround the entire Xinzhongcun base!"

"The Japanese and puppet troops near the independent battalion's defense zone are responsible for coordinating and preventing other troops from reinforcing our independent battalion. It seems that they are determined to swallow up our independent battalion in one bite!"

The boss frowned and said, "Yes... This time the independent battalion is facing a powerful enemy!"

"How about this... I will immediately dispatch two regiments of troops to the Xinzhongcun base to jointly defend against the Japanese attack!"

Su Zheng looked at the map and frowned, "The closest to our independent battalion's defense zone are the 772nd Regiment and the New rd Regiment!"

"The New Third Regiment is a newly formed regimental-level combat unit. It has limited manpower and insufficient equipment. It will be useless even if it arrives!"

"As the main force, the 772nd Regiment does have good combat effectiveness, but it is estimated that they will not be able to reach our Xinzhongcun base because they have to pass through the defense zones of Ping'an County and Heyuan County!"

"Shinozuka Yoshio is asking the troops near the independent battalion to cooperate with the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army. Then the Japanese and puppet troops in Ping'an County and Heyuan County will definitely not sit idly by and will definitely send troops to intercept them!"

"By then, the troops of the 772nd Regiment will be exhausted and will suffer heavy losses. Even if they reach our Xinzhongcun base, they will probably be in great trouble. It's not worth it!"

Just as Su Zheng finished his analysis, Xiao Ya walked in and said, "Captain, we just received a report from the front-line reconnaissance troops that the Japanese and puppet troops near the independent battalion's defense zone have taken action!"

Everything went as Su Zheng expected. ...

According to Yoshio Shinozuka's plan, the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army were responsible for attacking the independent battalion with all their strength, while other peripheral troops were responsible for fighting the reinforcements and preventing the Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army or the Central Army from approaching the independent battalion's defense zone.

This is a big picture!

The scale is no less than a major battle.

Yoshio Shinozuka really did a great job in launching a large-scale battle to destroy the independent battalion.

Su Zheng looked at the boss and said, "Boss... You see, Shinozuka Yoshio has already cut off our retreat, leaving us no chance to mobilize any troops for reinforcement!"

Boss: "Then order all regiments to come to support the Xinzhongcun base at all costs!"

"The Xinzhongcun base has finally developed to such a large scale and prosperity. If it is swept away by the Japanese, all our efforts will be wasted!"

Su Zheng: "Yes...it is true!"

"However, if all the regiments and units come to reinforce at all costs, it is completely possible...but it will cause unnecessary casualties, and the cost is too high!"

“Even if the 772nd Regiment arrived recently, if they encounter resistance from the Japanese, it will take at least three days. By that time, the 772th Brigade and the th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army will have already arrived at the gate of our base. Even if the nd Regiment arrives, it can only fight the Japanese on the periphery and will not have any advantage. Instead, it will be eaten!”

The boss nodded slightly, thinking that Su Zheng's words made sense. He was stunned for a moment and said, "You mean... you plan to rely on the strength of an independent battalion to deal with tens of thousands of Japanese and puppet troops?"

Su Zheng: "This is the only way to analyze the current situation... It's better to rely on myself than on anyone else... At least I still have confidence!"

As he spoke, Su Zheng's eyes were on the situation map and sand table map.

Since Yoshio Shinozuka has cut off all external aid to the Independent Battalion, the Independent Battalion can only rely on itself to resolve this crisis.

At the same time, it is time to test the independent battalion's defense and the new 3.0 Nakamura base's defensive fortifications.

After observing the battle situation map, Su Zheng said loudly: "Monk, immediately notify all company commanders and above to come to the battalion headquarters for a meeting!"

"The Ghost Team and Dragon Soul Special Forces that are training outside will return immediately and prepare for the battle!"

"Yes!"

Wei Dayong responded loudly.

Afterwards, after receiving the order, the heads of each company and department came forward one after another.

A few minutes later.

Lei Zifeng, the company commander of the 2nd Infantry Company.

Chapter 286 Su Zhengcheng becomes brigade commander? Commanding a brigade in combat! (More updates, please subscribe)

After Zhou Weiguo, Lei Zifeng, Li Dabenshi, Liang Fei, Yang Zhihua and others arrived at the camp headquarters, Su Zheng immediately convened a meeting.

Su Zheng looked at everyone present and said, "We have just received accurate intelligence. In order to destroy our independent battalion, the Japanese army dispatched the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Geographical Force and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army, a total of 12,000 troops!"

"Our mission this time is defense!"

"Now our entire base has a total of four lines of defense!"

"There is a defense line on the left. The defense position at the entrance of the village is the main defense line. There is another defense line on the right. In addition, there is another defense line right in front of our Xinzhong Village. There are four defense lines in total!"

With the continuous expansion and development of the Xinzhongcun base, the entire base is now relatively large in area.

Therefore, there are currently four lines of defense in the Xinzhong Village base, one on each side, and two lines of defense at the village entrance.

The first line of defense is about one kilometer away from the village entrance.

The other one is two hundred meters in front of the village entrance.

The defensive lines on the left and right sides are easy to defend but difficult to attack because of the dangerous terrain. The Japanese and puppet troops are unlikely to launch attacks from the left and right sides, but we still have to guard against them.

It can be predicted that the main attack point of the Japanese and puppet troops will definitely be the two lines of defense directly in front of the village entrance.

When Zhou Weiguo, Lei Zifeng, Li Dabenshi and others heard about this, their faces immediately became serious.

After all, this time they were facing more than 10,000 Japanese and puppet troops.

Not afraid!

Instead, we must be prepared and not underestimate the enemy.

Su Zheng looked at everyone and continued: 13 "Our independent battalion can now mobilize about troops, but they are generally new recruits, lack combat experience, and their initial combat effectiveness has not yet been fully formed."

"But the Japanese don't give us time to train new recruits. Their 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army have already been dispatched. They are expected to arrive in our defense zone tomorrow at the earliest or the day after tomorrow at the latest!"

The army is overwhelmed!

It is indeed stressful.

Zhou Weiguo looked at the battle map and then said, "Captain, tell me how we should defend? Should we push our front line forward or rely on our fortifications to defend?"

Su Zheng: "It is definitely not feasible to advance the front line, because there is basically no strategic location to defend in front of our Xinzhongcun base."

"If the battle line is pushed forward and defensive fortifications are urgently constructed, it will not be able to stop the large Japanese army. Instead, it will cause greater casualties and costs!"

"So I already have a detailed combat deployment."

When Shangguan Yufei reported to Su Zheng the three key information points he had deciphered two days ago, Su Zheng suspected that the Japanese were going to gather the 4th Mixed Brigade and the 9th Brigade of the Imperial Army to attack the Xinzhongcun base, so he had been thinking about the defensive combat deployment plan for the past two days.

Prepare for a rainy day!

This is Su Zheng’s predictive ability.

Although the independent battalion is now only a battalion in number, its strength has reached that of a brigade.

In other words, Su Zheng is now a brigade commander, and he only knows how to fight with the strength of a brigade!

Su Zheng looked at the battle sand table and said, "Our defense focus is on the front defense position, but the defense positions on the left and right sides cannot be relaxed!"

"Da Zhuang, your infantry company is responsible for the defensive position on the right. You must not let any Japanese get in."

Liu Dazhuang responded loudly: "Yes!"

"Li Dabenshi, your independent brigade is responsible for the defensive position on the left!"

Li Dabenshi: "Yes, Captain, I will ensure that the mission is completed."

"Zhou Weiguo, Zhao Donghai, Li Deming, your commanders of the third infantry company, the elite company and the Sichuan Army company are responsible for the defense of the first line of defense at the village entrance."

Zhao Donghai, Zhou Weiguo and Li Deming all responded loudly: "Yes!"

The three of them could be considered the elite main force of the independent battalion.

Well-equipped and powerful.

Among the three companies, the Sichuan Army Company wanted to show itself the most.

Since the Sichuan Army joined the independent battalion, it has always been highly valued, and various logistical supports have been in place. At the same time, they have been replaced several times.

This touched all the soldiers of the Sichuan Army and they felt Su Zheng's attention.

A scholar dies for a confidant.

They are willing to sacrifice their lives for the Independence Battalion.

Now that the Japanese army is approaching, this is the best time to show your strength.

"Yang Zhihua, your artillery will quickly enter the position and provide fire support to the first line of defense. The goal is to destroy the Japanese artillery positions."

Yang Zhihua: "Yes...Captain!"

"Our artillery company now has such advanced artillery, now it's time to let them experience our artillery bombardment!"

The most advanced weapons in the artillery company now are the M2A1 105mm howitzer and the RPG-7 rocket launcher.

These artillery pieces have not yet been used on the battlefield!

This major operation is the best time to test the combat effectiveness of these artillery pieces.

"Sun Desheng, your cavalry company is now leading the charge... According to the intelligence we have received, the vanguard cavalry battalion of the Japanese 9th Brigade will advance to explore the way, so your troops are now at Xiaoli Village to engage in a fight with the cavalry battalion of the Japanese 9th Brigade to dampen their spirit!"

Sun Desheng responded loudly: "Captain, don't worry, I promise to let the little devils have a taste of our cavalry company's power!"

The cavalry company now has more than 700 soldiers. Although there are many new recruits, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

This shouldn't be a problem dealing with a Japanese cavalry brigade of about a thousand men.

Su Zheng looked at Sun Desheng and said, "Sun Desheng, your cavalry company is not meant to destroy the 9th Brigade's cavalry battalion, but to dampen their spirit!"

"Also, Chen Yi, give the MP38 submachine guns from the logistics department to the cavalry company, and let them use them to engage the Japanese!"

Previously, the Dragon Soul Special Forces had inflicted heavy damage on the Yamamoto Special Forces many times, and naturally seized a lot of MP38 submachine guns and bullets.

Part of these MP38 submachine guns were equipped to the newly formed reconnaissance company. There are about one hundred MP38 submachine guns left in the arsenal. Su Zheng now plans to equip the cavalry company with these submachine guns to catch the Japanese off guard!

Sun Desheng naturally understood what Su Zheng meant: "Yes, Commander, I guarantee that the Japanese will be punished!"

Chen Yi: “Yes!”

Su Zheng looked at Chen Yi and said, "Chen Yi, your mission is to provide strong logistical support for the independent battalion, and at the same time be responsible for transferring the civilians to Xinmai Mountain!"

"I think that since the Japanese have sent out more than 10,000 troops to attack our Xinzhong Village base, they will definitely send out air forces to bomb our Xinzhong Village and defense positions, so we need to evacuate the people to air-raid shelters or Xinmai Mountain in advance!"
