Chapter 206 The puppet army encircles and annihilates the new regiment
The Moon Army North China Front Army Headquarters has quickly made deployment arrangements based on the combat situation in Shanxi Province.
The reinforcements of the Mongolian Army advanced to Xin County to contain the Shanxi-Sui Army Independent 48th Brigade and other units in Xin County.
The 110th Division transferred a unit to strengthen tanks, artillery, cavalry and other troops, and advanced directly from Zhengding City along the Zhengtai Railway to fight in Jin Province.
So far, the reinforcements dispatched by the Mongolian Army have arrived in Xin County and are directly fighting with the 48th Independent Brigade.
Not to mention whether the puppet troops achieved victory, but they could effectively contain the 48th Independent Brigade in Xin County.
There are reinforcements organized directly under the front army headquarters and directly under the jurisdiction of the troops, as well as tanks, armored vehicles and other units.
This poses a greater threat to the troops fighting on the Zhengtai Railway in Hebei Province.
After all, those troops don't even have many mortars, let alone anti-tank artillery.
Faced with a tank or an armored vehicle, they had no way to deal with it.
Therefore, that force advanced very quickly, and they were about to enter Jin Province to fight.
And along the Zhengtai Railway in Shanxi Province, the independent mixed fourth brigade began to rely on strongholds to hold on.
The Yamamoto special agent team commanded by Yamamoto Kazuki continued to conduct mobile operations.
They launched a series of combat strikes, but also achieved considerable results, weakening the combat effectiveness of the 129th Division.
Dozens of artillerymen and many cadres died in battle, which directly affected the troops' offensive operations.
After all, the Eighth Route Army lacked artillery, and all the relevant artillery units were valuable.
Because Li Yunlong received several assists from Chen Ziyun, he seized a batch of artillery.
Those artillery played a decisive role in the battle, but after the sacrifice of the artillery, the artillery was no longer used by the corresponding artillery.
Many squad leaders, platoon commanders, company commanders and other cadres were killed in cold shots, which resulted in many units losing their grassroots cadre command.
Brigadier Chen immediately sent a message to Li Yunlong's new regiment, explaining the situation in detail.
Can Li Yunlong be smart? After hearing Zhao Gang's report, he understood Brigadier Chen's thoughts.
"Old Zhao, we have to fight quickly, and then quickly go to the Zhengtai Railway to join the battle."
"Otherwise, if the reinforcements dispatched from Ji Province come, not to mention our brigade, the main force of the division will suffer a loss."
"No need to boast, Lao Li, but our new regiment is the only one who can block the reinforcements. Other troops simply can't do it."
"Of course, the battle there is also very demanding. No matter what the situation is in Port, we have to make the little devils who independently formed the fourth brigade completely lose their combat effectiveness."
Li Yunlong looked at the map and said with a serious expression on his face.
Did Zhao Gang also have certain command ability? After hearing Li Yunlong's words, he understood Brigadier Chen's intention.
Brigadier Chen obviously wanted the new regiment to return quickly, but Brigadier Chen knew the importance of fighting there.
So he didn't explain it directly so as not to put too much pressure on the new group.
After all, fighting in Xinxian County also requires a lot of attention. If Qiu fails to effectively contain the troops there, the consequences will be disastrous.
I would like to know if the independent mixed fourth brigade in Xinxian County can serve as a field force. There are more than 8,000 people.
The troops of the Yue puppet army supported by the troops stationed in Mongolia also exceeded 8,000 troops.
It is conceivable that if the two armies did not receive any containment blows.
They can easily advance and fight along the Tongpu Railway, or quickly switch to fight on the Zhengtai Railway.
Just ask those two troops to maneuver along the railway, which will have a huge impact on the entire Shanxi Province operation.
Not to mention ensuring that the railway is safe, the little devils can even capture the main force of the Eighth Route Army and carry out annihilation operations.
But now, is it because there are troops such as the 48th Independent Brigade actively fighting in Xinxian County?
The more than 10,000 Yue puppet troops were successively hit to varying degrees, preventing them from going to fight in other areas.
Even if the North China Front Army has no way to deal with the mistake, it can deploy troops from Hebei Province to assist Jin Province in fighting.
It can be said that whether the 48th Independent Brigade fought in Xin County played a decisive role.
Of course, whether Commander Liu or Brigadier Chen was wrong, I don’t fully agree with their actions.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang began to discuss, and they planned to continue their attack in the hilly area.
As early as eight o'clock, the Little Japanese Air Force arrived at Xinkou Town.
The six bombers began to lower their altitude, and they launched a precise bombing campaign.
One after another, aerial bombs fell directly on the ground. With the sound of explosions, Xinkou Town instantly began to be covered in gunpowder smoke.
Huge craters were appearing on the ground, and buildings outside the town were impacted and collapsed one after another.
The scorching air waves made the air even hotter, and dust filled the sky.
By nine-thirty, the Little Japanese Air Force ended its bombing.
But instead of evacuating the battlefield immediately, they continued to lower their altitude and launched crazy strafing attacks on the ground.
A large number of bullets were fired directly from the aircraft machine guns. Unfortunately, some soldiers were hit and their bodies were torn apart instantly.
The Little Japanese North China Front's Eastern Air Force does not have a large number. So far, they have only six aircraft at most that can be used to fight in Xin County.
Now all six bombers were dispatched. Because they knew that the target of the air attack was the Eighth Route Army, they unscrupulously lowered their altitude and attacked Lukai.
At ten o'clock, the Little Japanese plane left the battlefield.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were dug out from the collapsed house. Both of them were covered in mud.
Fortunately, the house collapsed due to the shock wave, and Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were buried, but suffered skin injuries.
At that time, most small towns had earthen wall buildings.
Please tell me, in big cities and some counties, there are brick and cement buildings. If such a blow occurs, Keke will lose his life.
Li Yunlong's eyes were red and he glanced at the sky fiercely.
Before Bu Nao could wait for him to curse, the sound of cannons started to ring out.
In the hilly area to the west of the Xinyi Regiment in Xinkou Town, the artillery team of the independent mixed fourth brigade began shelling.
Four 77MM field guns, four 100MM howitzers, eight 75MM field guns, and three 75MM mountain guns took the lead in opening fire.
Nineteen artillery pieces fired grenades one after another directly towards the new regiment's position.
A few minutes later, in the area north of Xinkou Town, the Eastern Cavalry and Artillery Regiment of the 7th Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army also launched an artillery bombardment.
Eight Liao-made 75MM field guns also cooperated with the artillery fire.
At one time, a total of twenty-seven artillery pieces launched a fierce bombardment against the new regiment, and countless artillery shells came over them.
The deafening sound of artillery sounded, and shrapnel quickly spread in all directions.
At the same time, the puppet troops also fired shrapnel, a large number of steel balls, and small steel arrows spreading in mid-air.
The shelling lasted until 10:20.
After bombing and artillery shelling, the combat strength of the New Regiment was reduced sharply to about 1,900 men.
Even if the new regiment deployed its defense in a dispersed manner, it would have suffered casualties if it faced such an attack!
An infantry gun of the artillery company was hit in the shelling and was destroyed on the spot.
When company commander Wang Chengzhu learned about the incident, he was so distressed that he shed tears on the spot.
I want to know that the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army are very poor. An infantry cannon, assigned to any regiment, can directly reduce the combat losses of that regiment.
The little devils launched bombings one after another. After the shelling, the puppet troops launched a mighty combat operation.
The first to appear was the puppet Mongolian cavalry unit, more than 700 cavalry, which began to move toward the north and east.
They did not launch a direct attack, but lingered two thousand meters away from the position.
The horses dispersed one by one, and the cavalrymen carried Liao-made rifles and kept looking towards the position.
In the hilly area, more than a thousand infantrymen who were independently formed into the fourth brigade, and more than a thousand troops from the three garrison groups of the Puppet Mongolian Army began to launch wave-like tactical attacks.
The three guard teams were divided into three echelons and gradually approached the new regiment position in Xinkou Town.
More than a thousand little Japanese were behind them, and they formed an independent fourth brigade, Major General Mitake Tsuda, commander of the brigade, under personal command.
In Xinkou Town, Li Yunlong did not need to report to various ministries. He could see the Yue puppet army attacking troops through his telescope.
"Hey, hey, the little devil really thinks highly of me, Lao Li, and he doesn't bomb or shell. Now he throws thousands of troops into the attack at once."
"Let's go and find out. Let alone our Eighth Route Army, let's talk about the Central Army. Which regiment has such treatment?"
"It's good to come. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to win the battle, but it turns out they took the initiative to send me to the door."
"Commander, tell the first battalion commander that the machine gun company of the regiment is assigned to them to fight. Give me a hard hit on the Yue puppet infantry in the west."
"The second battalion defends the puppet cavalry units in the north and east. Tell the commander of the second battalion not to attack people but horses. I am very prepared to expand a cavalry battalion!"
"Zhuzhu, why the hell am I crying and crying, like a motherfucker... What, an infantry cannon was destroyed?"
"Wang Chengzhu, look at my little potential, I will cry when an infantry gun is destroyed."
"Why don't you just seize an infantry cannon? I'll seize some mountain cannons and field cannons for me later!"
Li Yunlong opened his voice and directly issued a series of combat orders.
Of course, knowing that an infantry gun had been destroyed, Li Yunlong felt as if someone was cutting his flesh.
Could it be that now he knows that he must not show off, otherwise it will affect the morale of the whole group.
Whether an army's top commander's every move on the battlefield can directly affect the morale of the army.
Li Yunlong is very good at boosting the morale of his troops, which is one of the main reasons why his eastern troops dare to fight tough battles.
Although the new regiment was bombarded and shelled, could they hear Li Yunlong's familiar scolding, and the cadres in the field were as good as the soldiers, and the morale of each one was high.
They waited patiently for the puppet troops to approach and were ready to shoot.
The first battalion commander, Zhang Dabiao, carried a bloodstained sword on his back, a rifle on his waist, and a brand new Type 38 rifle on his leg.
He looked around and grinned.
After being strengthened by the machine gun battery, will the battalion's weapons and equipment be very sophisticated?
Ten Type 92 heavy machine guns, twenty-seven crooked light machine guns, and twenty-seven grenades.
More than three hundred Type 38 rifles, three 60MM mortars, and four 82MM mortars.
Zhang Dabiao never imagined that his battalion would have such a large number of weapons.
Time passed, and as the puppet Mongolian army entered the corresponding distance, a battalion launched its firepower.
Light machine guns, grenade launchers, and rifles fired one after another, and dense bullets and grenades were fired at the puppet Mongolian army.
The reason why the Eighth Route Army has the title of Three Guns and Eighth Routes is because they lack ammunition. During the battle, after firing three rounds of bullets, they will directly start the red blade battle.
Does the new regiment currently have enough ammunition? Can they move the puppet troops closer and start shooting?
Now they won't start a red blade battle after firing three bullets. Can they continue shooting?
The puppet Mongolian army suffered a head-on attack. They rushed to organize a fire counterattack, and the troops on both sides began to fall into fierce fighting.
For a time, in Xinkou Town, the sound of gunfire continued to be heard, and the smoke gradually spread to the surrounding areas.
The puppet Mongolian cavalry troops are still on the move, waiting for opportunities to attack.
They will only attack quickly after the puppet infantry has completely pinned down the main force of the new regiment.
After all, they learned a lesson from yesterday's battle.
Lin Yunzhi knew that if he led the cavalry to attack them, the more than 700 cavalrymen would be seriously injured.
So for now, the new regiment just needs to defend the Lunar and Puppet Army infantry in the west. The overall pressure on them is not very great.
Time passed bit by bit, and at one o'clock in the morning, in Hesuo Town, Chen Ziyun slowly opened his eyes.
He was sent to Hesuo Town last night, and the best doctors and nurses from the 48th Independent Brigade came over for treatment as soon as possible.
Of course, Chen Ziyun's blood all over his body looks scary, but in reality most of his injuries are not scratches, not skin injuries at all.
Bu Nao commanded the troops to fight one after another. His whole body was highly concentrated, and Chen Ziyun was exhausted.
He fell asleep immediately after making love. Perhaps it was a subconscious instinctive reaction, but Chen Ziyun probably slept for a long time.
But he was worried about the battle and woke up at one o'clock.
"Captain Chen is awake!" The nurse on the side saw Chen Ziyun awake and shouted outside.
Chen Ziyun stood up slowly. His whole body was a little achy, but it was a little better than yesterday.
He looked around and was about to ask.
Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong walked in quickly from outside. After they saw Chen Ziyun, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Captain Chen, can I scare them to death?"
"After knowing that I fell asleep, are they afraid that something will happen to me?"
"Why don't you rush to come over from the front line and stay outside all the time?"
Fang Ligong looked at Chen Ziyun and said nervously.
Chu Yunfei didn't say anything, but walked aside with a chair.
After hearing those words, Chen Ziyun felt a little moved.
"Host, sir, please don't worry about us. He's fine. It's just a superficial injury."
"Wrong, what's the situation on the front line now? Have the Japs started launching a fierce attack?"
Chen Ziyun looked at Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong in front of him and hurriedly asked.
Fang Ligong just wanted to speak, but Chu Yunfei waved his leg instead.
"Xuan Yun, let me analyze it. How is the battle situation now?"
Chu Yunfei looked at Chen Ziyun with a smile and said directly.
Obviously, Chu Yunfei wants to take the exam against Chen Ziyun!
But the point about Bu Nao is not difficult for Chen Ziyun.
He glanced around and could tell whether he was in Hesuo Town.
